College Has Been A Waste of Time: Polling shows that attitudes are changing because the Administrative State has been a dismal failure

I hate to burst the bubble of a lot of people. Most people I know went to college. My wife and I went. I deal with people who put a lot of effort into college, and they hold master’s degrees and PHDs, and in some cases, multiples. But the statistics are showing now what I have been saying all along, that the college experience was a scam and was simply a device of the Liberal World Order for their eventual control and the establishment of the Administrative State where bureaucrats and experts would rule over the classes of people who did not become rulers from that Administrative State. And a century of lies and manipulation to that end is crashing down now. Much of what we see happening now is very ugly and scary for people who have built their entire lives around the rules created by the Administrative State, which, I have explained, were agents of the Deep State.   The window front of all this activity was the World Economic Forum, Socialists International, and the long march of open communism straight from the pages of Karl Marx since the middle of the 19th century. They always planned to run our education system, and the purpose of a college education was never to make a smarter, more adjusted person, as they sold it. But to make a compliant bureaucrat in a class system, and a centralized government that controls them. And the barrier to entry was a college education. College was only good really for that first interview for that first big job in the Administrative State. And from there, promotions were controlled based on the proof that a college education was obtained. It was the same dumb scam that came from precisely the same people as a Covid vaccine card. 

The goal was to convince corporations to play this game, just as they tried with Covid vaccine passports, and the exchange was that corporations would get a nice, compliant worker who would put an emphasis on compliance and staying in their lane rather than bucking the system and interrupting corporate culture with variables. There have been several polls released recently that show a clear change in attitudes about college, and obviously, this is consistent with the destruction of the Liberal World Order as it is coming unraveled before our eyes. While it’s true that we will be a very different culture due to all this failure, I would not say it’s bad. A majority of people no longer view college as a step up in life, as a key to getting that house with a white picket fence and a retirement by age 55 to a Florida condo. People have a vastly different role of what the expert class can provide now that they’ve seen the devastating effects of the “expert” class after the Covid invasion and the massive failure of an ever-expanding government that required a college education just to play ball in those bureaucratic fields. It’s also obvious that the college-educated are resistant to President Trump as the representative in the White House, while those who did not go to college most support the MAGA movement. This has provoked the ill-advised anxiety of the education class calling the “uneducated” class “stupid” for supporting the MAGA movement when I would say that it’s the other way around. The college applicant is typically trained to suppress their true feelings to appease a liberal college professor, while the non-college voter has not learned to compromise their beliefs with social norms. So it is much easier for the non-college voter to see the reality of something than a trained seal who has learned in college to keep their mouth shut so that they can make a reasonable amount of money in the Administrative State.

There is a reason why liberals are mostly all you get from the education class because that was how it was designed, to make liberals who would be the gatekeepers of all social norms.   Colleges pushed out conservatives from their teaching profession and promoted liberals to sustain the goals of the Liberal World Order. Those goals are clearly outlined in the book The Naked Communist by the former FBI agent Cleon Skousen who had to defend America from the threats of Russian communism during the 1950s. The Administrative State, as the college system was built to create, was always a communist goal, so it should come as no surprise that liberals run it for the goals of liberalism. It’s not intended to make people smarter or more intelligent, as it was sold. The college system was designed to make a compliant society that was willing to exchange a high income for their own opinions. And that is what we see in Trump supporters among the college-educated as opposed to those who didn’t attend college. It’s not a measure of intelligence but of compromise. The college-educated learn to accept compromise, they must compromise their beliefs to get good grades, so they are willing as grown adults to compromise to accept the failures of the Liberal World Order. 

Yet the biggest mistake of the Liberal World Order was to destroy the possibility of a better life that a college education promised to provide. With so much college debt, no fancy homes to buy, or the desire to have a family, the political left has destroyed their own argument. And now people who might otherwise go to college are now trying to figure out if they can be the next YouTuber or just live off the government so they can stay home and play video games all day. Because the Deep State had to accelerate its plans for global domination and destroy the idea of a class system led by the college-educated that would give them more financial power over their peers, college is now considered a waste of time. So the Administrative State has undercut its own argument for going to college to refill their cubicles in government offices, and as a result, there will be more people supporting the MAGA movement by nature of the loss of more liberals from the lives of normal people. Not every conservative who goes to college becomes more liberal, but most of them do learn to contain their opinions for all their adult lives because their college experience compromised them at a critical point in their young lives. They may like conservative ideas, but socially, they don’t discuss them because what they did learn in college was not to have strong opinions on a matter. After all, college taught them to be more open-minded, which is not what people in that age group should think. They should be finishing themselves off as complete people, not undoing themselves by introducing a liberalized indoctrination center that costs too much and does very little toward real-life skills. Instead, hard work and perseverance are the best attributes that still make a country great, not just America. And that’s not what is being taught in college. But corporations, just like the suckers learned who tried to apply vaccine mandates, believe that the workforce is more valuable than compliance with the dumb rules of the Administrative State. College did not make America great, it made it worse, and that is now obvious to more people, and that relationship will be changed forever. And I think that’s a great thing that might save many lives in the process. Ultimately we will all be better off from the experience of this mistake, and our culture will have an opportunity to be better than ever.

The Communists Are Showing Themselves in our Judicial System: Just remember, Fox News destroyed itself by going against Trump

I know it’s painful to witness, but we now see the monster hatching out of an egg that the political left laid long ago. It’s hatching out of desperation, but it is breaking loose, and the little communist monster that has been growing there is coming out and showing its ugliness. That was obvious from the shock by many conservatives that the New York DA actually moved forward with a Trump indictment. But it’s been most evident in the long hunt of the political left to destroy Fox News, which is most revealed through the political left’s control of the judicial system. The audacious case of Dominion suing Fox News over their election coverage. It’s a battle plan that was hatched long ago and resided in the background of the Bar Association, where lawyers like teachers and almost all government workers have been liberalized through woke means to reshape our country into something resembling China more than America, and it was going to be so subtle that nobody would notice until it was too late. The old frog in the boiling water metaphor that many of us have been talking about for many years. The water has been turned up so gradually that the frog doesn’t think to jump out of a boiling pot until it dies.   The belief that our judicial system, if conquered like some chess piece in a game, could destroy our country was always the goal of the political left, and now they are cashing in their chips because they have to. President Trump’s polling numbers push them into it. They have to abuse their power because that’s the only way they can use power, and in the process, people see just how bad it has always been. Forget the conspiracy theories, we are in it now, and the outcomes won’t be what they think they will be. They are going to get more than they can handle and more. 

The political left believed that if they took out Fox News, they would gain control of political order in American politics by denying any competition. It’s the same dumb idea that all communist countries have attempted by eliminating any contrary opinion so that people with no other choice will have to listen to the regime that’s in power. In global politics, America was always the target of tyranny because that is the cause of most migration in the world, to get away from despot governments like China, Cuba, and all these other openly communist places. It’s no surprise that Chinese migrants are flooding the southern border through Mexico, hoping to get away from China. The chess players of global domination are OK with that action because they feel that illegal immigration will change the nature of America itself into something more receptive to communist rule. So they think it has worked in their favor. But the collision course is what happens when people have nowhere else to run, and all that is left are despot governments of tyranny. Then the fancy talk will no longer work, and violent engagements are all that will be left. The political left has been scheming for their entire existence to arrive today, so nobody should be surprised by what we see now. Many think Fox News represents the conservative parts of America, and for a while, they played that part to a good effect. But Rupert Murdoch is not conservative, and his family are not American patriots. He’s a foreigner looking to make money in America like anybody else. But when it comes to patriotism, that is not what Fox News was ever about. 

It won’t be the Dominion lawsuit that destroys Fox News, just to clarify before the political left claims that to be. Fox News sealed its fate as a destroyed network when Bill O’Reilly was pushed away, and Roger Ailes died. Once Roger was gone, the brain behind Fox News went with it, leaving a bunch of New York RINOs to run things in the wake. And when the election fraud occurred in 2020, they were more than willing to pile on to the removal of President Trump because they had a European mindset that wanted to see more moderate politics, “moderate” is more aligned with the communist takeover of the world as was happening everywhere else. So they didn’t fight very hard when it came time to discuss the election fraud issue, and when Dominion found itself the target of many conspiracies regarding the election that put Joe Biden in place, then we saw some of these mechanisms emerging quickly into our politics. Dominion had no other play, just like this New York DA has with Trump. All they have is intimidation to bully America into accepting hard communism. But they aren’t ready for the show and have had to show too many scary cards too early in the process. They will scare Americans further to the right out of self-preservation. So as bad as things look, what we see is better because, at least now, people can see what the threats have been.   The political left will learn a hard lesson, be careful what you wish for because once you get it, you have to live with the results. 

Fox News, on paper, can win its bluff case with Dominion easily.   The only real problem with the Fox case was that early in the election coverage, they interviewed people who claimed that Dominion could tamper with the election results by being connected to the internet.   And there is a lot of evidence that this is a problem, and Fox News should win its case easily. In such a free speech case, the way to mitigate any bias is to offer views from the other side of an argument, which by the content of the Fox News staff, the network itself already had in place. The only play that Dominion had was to sue, hoping to settle out of court, which the political left was happy about because it hoped it would drain away all their money and destroy their company. But even if Fox News does win its case. They will still be destroyed as a network because they have mismanaged themselves for this new generation, the cord-cutters. The Fox News audience, by this stage, has found other, more conservative networks to get their news from, leaving Fox to be more like CNN was years ago. The more captured assets they have on the network that are liberal, the fewer people will watch them. They are not even a fraction of the network that they were when Bill O’Reilly was there. The conservative audience has fractured now and gone underground mostly. And there, they will now do all the damage that the political left has been doing for years. It’s hard to hold power, and the political left will discover quickly that they do not have what it takes to maintain power, not that they have seized it in the way they have. The indictment of Trump will only make people angry and force them underground where they can now act as the left has for years, swiping away at the power of the communists away from the controls of Fox News. They’ll learn a hard lesson: that they were better when Fox News was more of a central location for conservatives because now, many dozens of competing networks have splintered off to be the new resistance. And the slow-minded communists won’t be able to keep up. But as Fox News struggles to survive by embracing Trump all too late in an attempt to stay viable in the marketplace, the political left can’t claim to have destroyed them. They destroyed themselves through lousy management and embracing the wrong priorities.

Trump’s Greatness in Waco: Ego is great for politics, it makes the perfect representative

I couldn’t help but think while watching President Trump at his Waco, Texas rally how lucky we were. Nobody else in the world, especially no other political figure, could have drawn over 15,000 people to an airport to hear a speech for an hour and a half. Only a guy like Trump, where the perfect relationship between representative government and a people in need of it existed, met at these rallies. Trump has been out of office for over three years, and he still could draw a crowd like the one in Waco, which isn’t a bustling metropolis. To have that many people willing to spend an entire day at a remote airport to hear the same speech repeatedly was simply remarkable. But then I considered my wife and me; here we were, as thousands of others were doing exactly the same thing, popping popcorn and getting our snacks ready for the big event, something we had been looking forward to all Saturday. We had literally millions of other options we could have been doing on a Saturday night in late March. The weather was nice. We have over 1000 entertainment options through our television through the many streaming services we subscribe to. Yet there we were, looking forward to the Trump speech like so many others, which is like watching the Super Bowl. It was an all-day event that we enjoyed tremendously. So what does that say about politics and a character like Trump who, after so many attempts to take him out socially, he is stronger than ever? With all the mainstream aggression shown to support Ron DeSantis, the Florida governor has gone down in polling, and Trump has only gained more support. 

I keep hearing from the kind of Republicans who want to support Ron DeSantis over Trump that the Republican Party could get all the good stuff without all the drama, and that was why supporting DeSantis was a great thing. But then I explain to people that we are not dealing with regular politics here. This is a war, not a policy discussion, and Trump is the perfect candidate for this particular time in our history. Even better than in 2020. Having Trump on the political scene has forced everyone to deal with reality, a reality that often gets lost in the horse races of politics. Trump’s massive ego was a perfect weapon against this political climate. It certainly wasn’t a detriment, as those DeSantis types suggested. Trump loves to be loved and has become the perfect kind of representative in our government that needs such people. He loves his supporters and would do just about anything for them. And then we have a public who very much wants someone out there in politics who represents them authentically. We’ve all seen this bag of tricks before, where someone like DeSantis does a good job and wins over the Rinos, then they change because the donor class gets a hold of them. Then when they win office, they become something we all despise. Trump is independent of all that. Because Trump loves to be loved so much, he listens to what people actually want out of their government and puts his traditional ideology aside. It’s a pretty remarkable relationship, especially in the context of history, and Trump is precisely what America needs if it wants to stay a great country. Trump is a product of a capitalist system that only America could have produced, and here he was at the later part of his life when he could be doing anything else in the world, and he’s running for president for the third time to do a job that pays nothing, only because he loves to be loved by the kind of people who attend rallies like that one in Waco. 

The people out there want a fighter. No celebrity from pop culture could do what Trump is doing. Who has the personal wealth and independence to bring such a rock-star quality to politics, where some of the biggest thieves and destitute criminals have set up shop? There will be hundreds of future political figures like Ron DeSantis who spawn off the Trump years that will improve our representative government for the better over the next decade. I remember how unusual Trump was in 2016 when many of the things we are discussing now weren’t even a remote consideration. There was always a kind of evil lurking in the background that was hidden behind polite society. And because of Trump and his ability to communicate, because of his massive ego that refuses to submit to the established order of things, a lot of that evil has been flushed out to the surface. It’s very ugly to see, but for all those corrupt forces hidden behind the veil of politics, only Trump could have exposed it due to his brash nature. Without Trump, violence from a Civil War likely would have already occurred. The hope that comes with Trump is that people might get peace and strength through their country yet, and that hope is very powerful. Watching a Trump rally is more like a church service where people renew their spirit than a policy-making speech about things that we all know the politician could never accomplish unless the Deep State allows them to.  

It’s Trump’s ego that makes him as great as he is. It’s funny to listen to a liberal world talk about how bad ego is for society. You could talk to a million people who practice Yoga, and they’ll talk about how it’s good to meditate and become “one with nature.” To drop the ego and embrace collectivism  where the currents of the universe where our personal identities no longer have meaning. People repeat that kind of nonsense all the time, and it does spill over into our political culture. And it’s all hogwash. Ego is the definition of a person who has lived a life and has a story to tell based on that experience. All that Indian talk about destroying ego and individuality, in general, is garbage from eastern cultures like China, India, and the Middle East.

No thanks, bad advice. And at their core, that is why there are people who hate Trump. Our political system has too many people who falsely believe that ego has no place in politics, and those people have no answer for Trump, who is entirely ego-driven. I would say that ego is Trump’s greatest weapon because it takes a sense of self to stand up to evil. It takes ego to drive a capitalist economy and to defend it. Because a person with a large ego has values, they think they are worthy to defend because they have a sense of self. And ultimately, that is what people show up to see at these rallies. They want to see the ego of Trump unleashed because he represents them and their egos of self who want to see their country be great. They do not want the collectivist crap that politics gives them in general, and the popular culture who wants politics not to rock the boat for their ideologies of collectivism that otherwise taints politics into something people find otherwise disgusting. Ego is good, and Trump has plenty of it. And we are very lucky to have him representing us. Because of Trump and his massive ego, people have hope that there might yet be a peaceful defense of our country from the forces that have been plotting its destruction for many decades. And that hope is obvious at all Trump rallies, especially the one in Waco, Texas, in March of 2023.

What Happened to Bill Mitchell: Ron DeSantis is the pick of the Deep State

Bill Mitchell is a pretty good political commentator and election statistician who had a large platform on Twitter and was very pro-MAGA before the purge in 2020. Over the years, I have found him to be pretty good at identifying election trends, especially on game day during actual elections. He struggled to find his footing in the years after the Twitter purge on both Gettr and Truth Social, but it was never the same. Yet after Elon Musk purchased Twitter and turned pro-free speech for his own needs, Bill has restored his account and has returned to Twitter much as he did before. Only this time, he is mysteriously anti-Trump, much like Drudge did during the last election. It’s bizarre to watch from these guys; they were for all things Trump, then suddenly they switch to an anti-Trump position. The first conclusion is that they had someone get to them. But I don’t think that goes far enough. It’s like many of the Never Trumpers that are out there; it comes down to what they believe politics to be and that Trump violates that unwritten rule, and once they conclude that in their minds, they switch sentiments. Whatever it is, Bill Mitchell has gone entirely over to Ron DeSantis for all kinds of reasons, none of them good, and has been pouring it on heavily against Trump as if he thinks he is going to move the MAGA needle, which brings up a very interesting consideration. I would consider Bill Mitchell to be one of the best political strategists out there, much better than Karl Rove and even Newt Gingrich. So why, if that is so, then how could he suddenly be so wrong about Trump? Trump hasn’t changed, Bill Mitchell, Mr. MAGA himself, did. So why, and is he right? 

The RINO position for Ron DeSantis is that he’s Trump-lite. You can have the taste of the beer without all the calories. And Bill has suddenly been preaching the RINO mantra that Ron DeSantis is everything that Trump is; he even legislates to the right of Trump on most things. And I think that’s true. I think Ron DeSantis is more of a conservative than President Trump. And yes, Trump got suckered with Covid and Dr. Fauci. At some point, he will have to explain all that away and stop talking about Operation Warp Speed because everything related to Covid was a mistake. But Ron DeSantis was just as suckered. Everyone was suckered (except for me) regarding Covid. I’ve said it many times, if I had been advising Trump then, I would have told him to throw Dr. Fauci and Bill Gates out of his office. But at that time, I was the only one saying such things. It was an election year, and the media was all over the story. And Dr. Fauci was the most famous person in America during the summer of 2020. If Trump had fired him, that would have killed his election chances at that time. Knowing what we do now, I was right, the rest of the world was wrong, and Trump got caught in the crossfire. My view of it was that Trump had managed the country very well until Covid. Covid was a bioweapon meant to steal an election and destroy the American economy that was threatening the world’s Liberal World Order. So the bad guys pulled the grenade, dropped it into the punch bowl, and blew up everyone hoping to create a Great Reset for the World Economic Forum, which had long been planned for. Trump is the best option to returning to our pre-Covid America, and better. With the right Federal Reserve Chairman, more than 4% GDP growth is still possible, so that is the battle plan for 2024. 

But we have in the way a Deep State that thinks it runs the world and that our constitution is useless to their sentiments. They have no reverence for it and intend to destroy America and enslave all of us into a debt-driven world where a few from Davos literally control the world with a collapse of the dollar and a transfer of the power alliance to China, so they can literally rule the planet as a propped up communist power of the Desecrators of Davos. And these guys aren’t playing patty cake. They are playing to kill literally, and they have been showing that power with their control of America’s legal system and the control of politicians who have taken money from them, like Mitch McConnell and Joe Biden. In that world, Ron DeSantis has no chance. Without a Trump around to draw cover fire, there would be no Ron DeSantis. And there is only Rino support for DeSantis now because the Deep State thinks it can do better in controlling him than it could ever hope in controlling Trump. But it’s the control of our elected representatives that they are after. They aren’t looking for a “democracy.” They are after collapsed economies, world domination, and enslavement through their Great Reset. Their support of DeSantis is to give the public all the talk of MAGA without the policy of the movement, to appease the public enough to prevent any real reform from wrecking their plans. Trump is a wrecking ball to all that, so we are voting for him and continuing to support him. We aren’t looking for someone who “gets along” with the Deep State.

If you read his comments on the matter, Bill Mitchell essentially indicates that he is tired of all the drama with Trump and that DeSantis can do the same thing without all the drama. And my position is that, no, he can’t. The drama comes from those who stand in the way of American sovereignty and our Constitutional rights, and they want Trump, MAGA, and everything about populism destroyed viciously. These are essentially communists who intend the China model for America, and without Trump around, Ron DeSantis won’t exist, nor would any other MAGA representative in Congress or the Senate. I would expect Bill Mitchell to know all that, but he’s had some health problems, and maybe it rattled him, and he’s gone soft. But whatever it is, DeSantis doesn’t have a chance. He has destroyed his good brand. He should have aligned with Trump, not worked against him, and now that he has spoken out against Trump in the way he has, he has ruined his ability to win an election where MAGA will determine the outcome. Trump is the only politician in the modern world who could hope to get voter engagement with over 70 million voters. Ron DeSantis won’t get that, which, indeed, the Never-Trumpers understand. But they can’t get out of their own way as the controlled opposition. The only way Democrats hold power is if the Never Trumpers keep Trump from running. And Bill Mitchell and others are smart enough to see that. The question is, are they strong enough to follow through? In the case of Bill Mitchell, maybe he’s just been beaten up enough to say uncle and to look toward DeSantis with all the promises of the Never Trump RINOs of conservative legislation without the drama. But that’s not the fight. We are fighting for the very foundation of our country, the Deep State attack on our very lives. And when that is understood, Trump might not be vicious enough, as we saw with Covid. But if not him, then who? We know he did well before, and he’s out for revenge because of what they have done to him, which is what most of us feel as well, Republicans and Democrats. And that is what the 2024 election really comes down to, revenge and rebuilding. Not another RINO-controlled asset that helps the Deep State, which is all Ron DeSantis would be to the election process.

The Ukraine War Only Helps the Deep State: It’s all about destroying nationalism in favor of globalism

To understand the war in Ukraine, the first thing that needs to be made clear is that it’s all about globalism fighting against Nationalism. And this is a long story and really could be traced back to the origins of World War I and World War II, where the goal of both those efforts was to create a United Nations, a one-world bureaucracy that the Deep State could manage through their primary weapon of war, the Administrative State. Remember that secret societies like the Thule Society created the Nazi party. Even the crown in England was involved in the Nazi Party as a sympathetic ear, which is why much of Europe allowed itself to be dominated by Hitler the way they were. It was all part of a plan which put Hitler in front as the bad guy for the world to hate, where the eventual goal would be the creation of the United Nations, which is precisely what happened in the wake of World War II. And most regional wars since then have been for the same purpose, the uniting of the world in some way toward a New World Order run by the administrative state, whether it was Vietnam, Korea, the Gulf Wars, all the conflicts in Central America, leading up to this war in Ukraine. There are Nazis involved in Ukraine as well, and we are told by popular media and our political people that we should fly Ukrainian flags, give endless amounts of money to them, and we should hate Russia because they invaded and are hostile actors. But when you understand how the Deep State plays the game, there are many reasons that Ukraine shouldn’t be trusted or those who support it. It’s not so simple as just flying a Ukrainian flag and calling Russia the bad guys. 

The real fight is against all forms of Nationalism as Globalism proposes to replace it. I’m from Cincinnati, and I remember well what happened to Marge Schott when she made some comments about Hitler back in the 1990s that caused her to lose her ownership of the Cincinnati Reds. The weapon of the Deep State has been these woke pressures. I knew many people in Indian Hill, where Schott lived then, so I watched firsthand the social pressure that was applied to her to force her to sell the Cincinnati Reds to Carl Lindner because of those Hitler comments, which I never thought were off-color. There are a lot of German immigrants in Cincinnati, and Schott was simply making a point about what happened in World War II; after all, it only threw the world at war with each other, so it’s probably something people should talk about. For some reason, Hitler only took over the known world, and people should probably understand how that happened. But for talking about it, Schott was destroyed in public circles, and this was several decades before the woke movement we see now. This stuff has always been working in the background, and I could see it up close as it emerged. But Hitler was always about making Nationalism look bad; that was the plot from the beginning, to allow Hitler to get power, to abuse that power, and to convince the world by drawing everyone into the war to join to destroy Hitler and nationalism wholesale. And any Germans who had bought into the Hitler nationalist pride marches would then be forced to retract their embarrassments and join in the efforts at globalism to show they would confess their sins and become part of the global New World Order, as so expressed in the book on the subject, Tragedy, and Hope, one of Bill Clinton’s favorites. 

It has been the same essential playbook with Vladimir Putin in Russia. The same globalist forces had propped him up to be the big baddy in the world everyone was supposed to fear, then when pushed as he was into attacking Ukraine over fears of NATO moving into the former Russian territory, Putin reacted as everyone knew he would. Well before the invasion, Biden was talking about the war as if it already had happened because the plan was for it to happen any day. The global forces, which Biden was the voice of in this particular incidence, were pushing the buttons to provoke Russia to attack. And now that they have, they have their bad guy. Ukraine is the symbol of a global community, and the effort is to destroy Nationalism in favor of united globalism. That’s why the president of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, is a former comedy actor, put in place to sell globalism during this effort. But people are catching on; they have watched these same forces attempt to set up Russia during the Trump years and have observed all the fake reports about Trump and Putin that have not fleshed out into truth. And this New World Order plan, which is over a century in the making, is falling apart. Ukraine was a bridge too far, which now has people looking at all these other past wars, and they are starting to see them for what they always were. 

The real villains are the Open Border Society people, of which George Soros is a major player. But he’s not the only one. The southern border of America is just as much of a war zone as what is going on in Ukraine, but we are told that we should care about Ukraine’s border, but not the one with the United States. And I could put just as bad images of those killed along America’s southern border as the media is putting up with those in Ukraine. They are all bad, but the media tells us to care about one, not the other. Even political figures like Lindsey Graham and Sean Hannity are on board with calling for the open assassination of Vladimir Putin for what he has done against Ukraine, yet in America; the drug cartels essentially run the government of Mexico and, increasingly, the United States. The money flow is easy, and corrupt politicians are easy to buy. Yet the fight has never been about saving Ukraine from Russia but about using propped-up bad guys, like China, Russia, or even Iran, to force terror upon the world and cause people to cleave to a powerful, centralized government. That is how the globalists eventually convinced America to join the United Nations after World War II. And that’s what this war in Ukraine is all about, destroying the Nationalism of Russia, uniting the world around globalism using American money to fund the effort, and in the end, destroying the concept of national borders and making everything a state of the United Nations. So it’s right not to support Ukraine; it’s a war created by the Deep State for the objectives of the Open Border Society and their globalist aims, which have been at the heart of all their politics since the late 1800s. 

Often what we find, as bad as characters who have proven themselves to be killers like Putin and Hitler have been, is that there are worse characters than those operating behind the scenes. You can find them when you learn how people like Hitler obtained power, to begin with. Do people really think Hitler got out of jail and suddenly he took over all the politics of Europe and had Neville Chamberlain eating out of his hand? What about the exiled Vladimir Lenin being sent to Russia to incite a revolution there? Or Ho Chi Minh, who was a bellboy at a hotel when the Treaty of Versailles was signed, and he tried to get help from Woodrow Wilson to push the French out of Vietnam. In frustration, since the newly created European forces wouldn’t listen, he joined the communist party across the street essentially, and we all know how that turned out. That was all part of the chess game that goes on in the background. Communism spread through Asia and became the significant China threat we see today. Who put Saddam Hussain in power? What about Muammar Gaddafi? Or Osama bin Laden? Or Barack Obama?

Obama wasn’t born in the United States, he was an asset from Indonesia, born in Kenya, and they created a past for him that showed he was born in Hawaii, with a fake birth certificate. His political life was launched in the living room of Bill Ayers, the known terrorist of the Weather Underground, who turned into a college professor at the University of Chicago. How do all these characters connect? Well, read Tragedy and Hope; this time, they have been caught red-handed with Zalinski and Ukraine. Enough people are onto this game now and see it for what it is. Ukraine is a fake war by a fake political party aiming for a borderless world. And Putin has been played like many before him has. And that’s why sending money to Ukraine is a dumb idea and why flying a Ukrainian flag is a sign of stupidity, given the facts of the matter.

Vivek Ramaswamy Enters the Presidential Race: It makes MAGA better and impossible for Democrats to compete

My general rule for weather is that I don’t care “whether” or not it exists; I do what I’m going to do regardless. I had time to shoot the video above about Vivek Ramaswamy entering the presidential race for 2024, so I did my usual thing and started talking. It happened to be that there were tornados in the area at the time, and the weather was actually quite bad. But as it has been in my life for all of it, I don’t bend the knee to nature. Rather, I find a way to do what I’m going to do regardless of the environmental conditions. I rode a motorcycle on the harshest winter days with many inches of snow on the ground for many years. I rode bicycles when my wife and I could only afford one car to work every day, while I worked two full-time jobs during the day, and we had a paper route on the weekends, and I never called off work due to weather. I have the same rule for sicknesses, which is why I found the government policies on Covid so revolting. Science is meant to be conquered. You don’t yield to the weather. You make it bow to you. So if I have something to do, like film a video on Vivek Ramaswamy’s presidential announcement, I’m going to do it and see how the equipment held up. In this case, it was mostly good, so I kept it because it was enjoyable to do, and I think it said some unique things about the situation. But there were a couple of times when all the rain that was falling filled up the microphone holes on the camera and made it hard to hear, making this one a unique presentation. 

But it’s a topic I must discuss because I like Vivek Ramaswamy; I know him a bit and enjoy his books. I think what he is doing with Strive Asset Management is one of the most critical strategic commitments in the world at the current moment because the follies of our day from the political villains is tied directly to the woke efforts of BlackRock and other money managers who have found the ultimate way to attack our country, through our 401K plans, with us financing our own destruction. Vivek is providing through Strive an alternative to that massive strategic imposition which, in the end, I think will literally change the world. BlackRock, who is essentially transferring wealth from America and building up China, as we speak, is being forced to rebrand itself primarily because of Vivek Ramaswamy’s efforts over the last few years, and that is something that doesn’t get talked about much on the various news pieces that Vivek does where he does a great job going onto all the big television shows and explaining all this to a public that typically glazes over when talk of finance is involved. That’s how woke companies with political activism in mind have gotten away with this massive imposition, is that people assume that it’s all too complicated for them, so they don’t pay attention to how the enemy has been attacking our American infrastructure through finance replacing ground troops. So I’m quite a fan of Vivek Ramaswamy; once history remembers these days, he will be one of the people credited with saving the United States and its financial system. So it was a proper metaphor that there was rough weather during my recording because that’s how it is presently. It’s rough out there, but the show must always go on. 

I personally think it’s good for people like Vivek Ramaswamy to be in the presidential race. I’ve been listening to all of Trump’s speeches and what sounded good in 2016 when he won the White House for the first time; it’s starting to sound old now. I don’t think anything hurts Trump for 2024, his voters have revenge on their minds, and they will vote for him out of sheer spite for what our government has done over the last five years, starting during 2020 while Trump was still in office with the impeachments, the investigations, Covid, election tampering through Facebook, the FBI, and crazy Covid rules that were not bound by Constitutional principles. Trump’s message of small government fighting against big government is a tired game, and he has allowed himself to be pulled into a victim state, and he needs to turn toward more positive messaging to gain those voters over the 30% threshold. No matter who is running against Trump, the president will keep his base support. Whether it’s Ron DeSantis, Nikki Haley, Mike Pompeo, or Mike Pence, anybody who enters the presidential race will run behind President Trump, and Trump will be the Republican nominee. But I think Vivek Ramaswamy, because of his fabulous media presence, will help change the dialogue. I think the same about Ron DeSantis; he has succeeded in Florida. And there is a lot of positive governing to talk about. Like it always is, competition makes people better. I think these challengers for the presidential nomination will help shape the national dialogue away from so many negative things, which is perfectly justifiable, and put them on an elevated platform for an American vision. I see only good things happening because Vivek Ramaswamy is in the race. I also read Ron DeSantis’s book on Tuesday when it came out, and it’s quite good. It’s good to talk about all his successes in Florida as compared to the Biden administration. It’s a great continuation of the MAGA movement even as Trump has been exiled from Washington D.C. politics. But in the end, it won’t matter; Trump will be the nominee. But the competition will change politics on the national stage as we know it, all in good ways.  The best thing that will happen is that the political left will not be able to compete with the Republican messaging. These are not the same Republicans we had in 2016, where Trump outlasted many challengers. Largely these new Republicans are stars from the MAGA movement, and they have success stories to tell that were not present in 2016. It’s a very different political world now than what it was. If Vivek talks daily about money management and the dangers of BlackRock using 401K plans to destroy America with wokeness, or Ron DeSantis can show how liberal states have failed yet Florida has prevailed, the political left has no answer to any of these things, and they will be wiped out in 2024. They have no bench depth, only really old hippies from the 60s who are watching their drug-induced dreams fall apart in front of their faces. The media hasn’t caught on to it yet, but the cracks are more than evident. The Democrats will have a hard time dealing with these MAGA Republicans running for office, forcing Trump to redefine his message of the Power of Positive Thinking and restore to America what great possibilities are available under good leadership. And I can’t think of a better representation of that positive message than Vivek Ramaswamy. I think, in the end, Trump will be better off. Before it’s all said and done, I would personally like to see Vivek Ramaswamy in a position to restore greatness to our economy in some challenging days that will come because he is undoubtedly the best man for the

The Insane Gender Neutrality Movement: Politics with influences 106 years in the future

The best explanation I have seen yet about why suddenly gender neutrality is such a priority comes from Erich von Daniken’s excellent and exciting book, The Gods Never Left Us. In that book, there is a very interesting opening where an older man sits in his reading chair and notices a strange holographic light that occasionally appears by his foot. He rationalizes that it is not some reflection of light but is some self-generating aperture with its own mass. It comes across as some kind of mini black hole. So he calls up his son, who works at CERN, the supercollider in Switzerland, to ask his professional opinion and to wonder if the discovery of the God particle there might be somehow connected to this strange light that is appearing in his living room. The Higgs Bosen, the God particle discovered on the LHC supercollider in 2012, The Large Hadron Collider, has faster-than-light properties and opens up all kinds of possibilities concerning the realm of quantum mechanics. As a result of some investigation into the strange light in the old man’s living room, a team from CERN shows up to measure it and chronicle its behavior. They soon discover a coded message that comes to them 106 years in the future that shows very beautiful but sexless characters who are explaining to these scientists that they are attempting to conduct some scientific experiments regarding “bridging,” which is to step over time periods and communicate beyond the dimension of time, which starts to make a lot more sense when quantum mechanics is applied to logical understanding. 

The evidence that the gods, as we term them, were never obscure religious figures from ancient texts but have been from the beginning always with us, for as long as more than 450,000 years, according to legends of kingly chronicles coming from the Middle East in Sumerian culture, Egyptian, and Indus Valley mythology. And the premise of von Daniken’s book is that earth was seeded from places around the galaxy, likely not just by one species but several. And this isn’t some fringe theory; several American astronauts believe the same thing based on their experience, notably Edgar Mitchell, who I think is very credible. Beliefs like this are not given to us at birth by our parents. They are formed over time based on our realistic interaction with the facts. And those who work in science and deal with facts find that the ancient texts controlling mankind’s view of the cosmos were a purposeful strategy to keep some of those ancient bloodlines in kingly power over the many thousands of years since. It doesn’t take long beyond all that to realize that many of our secret societies are supremely concerned with this very problem of keeping bloodlines of families in some sort of royal power, and the purpose of various religions was to keep those same people believing in that social structure, so not to threaten the power of those who had it in the form of royal lineage. This, of course, was easier to do in a less complicated time. Today people have access to a lot of information, and the more that information has been available to people in a mass form, such as in the printing press where common people could read things for themselves, this power game has been hard to control. Especially these days when the internet allows all forms of mass communication. It may have been designed to control mass populations with a kind of censored message, such as we saw regarding governments and Covid, but the opposite has happened; people are able to ask questions and get information beyond the power structures that want to rule over them.    

Then to complicate things further, once you open up all the quantum possibilities that are involved with the Higgs Boson particle, well, now all those gods and voices that appear to prophets and kings that founded kingdoms, even the claims of modern politics and the secret societies that are trying to have a relationship with all this ancient knowledge, you suddenly have ordinary, everyday people talking to other people from 106 years in the future as if they were just talking on the cell phone or sending people an email. Time didn’t matter all of a sudden as a unit of measure, just as communication with people over vast distances around the earth could be instantaneous. The only real difference was that time was measured based on the earth’s rotation compared to the sun, so other places around the world were dealing with time zones. A message sent from the east coast of America might be given at 8 AM in the morning, but it might be received in Europe at 2 PM in the afternoon. Or perhaps 13 hours later in Japan. Yet the message happens all at the same time from its point of origin. And this is the same kind of problem when you start dealing with faster-than-light neutrinos around the galaxy. We are just now beginning to learn about some of these things, and we will uncover many more mysteries in the years to come. 

Yet, as interesting as all this is, the nature of all living forms is very much the same; their base conduct is to rule over others for their own safety and security. So the warzone is often knowledge, who has it, and who can use it to the best effect. That book, The Gods Never Left Us, was published in 2018, and at that time, the gender neutrality issue was picking up political steam. It had been around from liberal communities for several years, most notably the cultural assault from The Rocky Horror Picture Show. And in a very short time, the gender neutrality issue has exploded into our political discussions as a sudden priority. But why? Well, much of this acceleration has occurred since the discovery of the God particle at CERN.

We must consider how all these various characters with deep roots into our earthly past are motivated toward power and preservation for their own interests. Still, now we must consider that all those species of living forms also interact with us across multiple times as they exist in earth’s own future and past, but also around the galaxy where we know particles can respond to influences in live time. They don’t often follow the rules of our known physics, a particle here on earth might rotate one way but move in the opposite as a direct influence on the other side of the universe, instantly. And suppose communication can occur along those lines. In that case, we could be getting all sorts of crazy information that may not make sense to us from sources literally everywhere, across time, in ways we have difficulty comprehending. And it is in this kind of insanity, measured based on our terrestrial existence here on earth, where our religious parameters have kept us safe from all this intergalactic communication, that the gender neutrality movement is trying to impose itself on our species by a group of lifeforms who no longer identify themselves as a sex-based culture. And as crazy as all that might sound, it really is the only possible explanation for why gender neutrality has suddenly become a political priority. Nothing else really makes any sense. Lifeforms 106 years in the future have shown themselves, and our culture has responded by trying to copy those gods in their form as we always have attempted to do. But the results are clearly not the desire of all people in our culture, which is presenting us with this current political conflict.

The White Noise Conspiracy: How terrorism and the real-life Ohio train derailment can hide attacks on America’s infrastructure

It’s the world we live in now; we have watched governments all over the world lose credibility after their massive failure in dealing with Covid, so now the aftereffect is mistrust in everything they say.  This is the root cause analysis of the train derailment in New Palestine, Ohio, where all kinds of mismanagement occurred at many levels, leaving the public understandably upset by the results.  The official report says that a wheel bearing overheated, causing the train carrying dangerous chemicals to derail and spill, causing massive risk to the town itself.  Then quickly, the rail company decided to burn off the hazardous chemicals by putting them into the air, supposedly hoping to keep them from contaminating the groundwater with a large concentration.  All the political figures of our day were put on the ropes because it was an unusual balance between protecting industry infrastructure and the rights and needs of voters, which were not aligned, just as things weren’t with Covid.  It was an unfortunate situation that left a lot of people unhappy and will likely be deadly with cancerous agents for many years to come.  In all reality, the train derailment in New Palestine, Ohio, was a complete disaster in every way a disaster could be.  Given what has been happening all over the country, with similar disasters, it looks to me like terrorism, the kind that the Weather Underground used to perform.  So the conspiracy theories have been trying to fill in the gaps from all the misstatements that have been made in the wake of the tragedy leaving many to put two and two together to see that the derailment in New Palestine was way too similar to the plot of the new Netflix movie, White Noise, which was filmed in the same area with Adam Driver as the star, and a clever cast to tell the bizarre story of a book written in 1985. 

Ironically the book White Noise which the 2022 Netflix movie was based on, is all about how crisis management in people’s lives prevents them from seeing greater realities outside their bubble of experience.  Written by Don DeLillo, the book and movie explores not just the reaction of a mass public after a train derailment, almost identical to the one that actually happened in Ohio, but the more significant problem of social stagnation in a consumer-based economy where public reaction is often measured off social sentiment and the mandates of personal schedules.  In the movie, Adam Driver did a particularly good job of showing the crises of a father, husband, and academic who has uncontrolled elements of chaos enter his life in ways that he can’t see or refuses to see because they simply don’t fit his schedule.  He has expectations about how his typical day should go, so problems with his wife becoming a drug addict, train derailments, or challenges within his academic circles, where he is a teacher of Nazi history and has a particular obsession with Hitler, keep him from solving the real problems in his life until the whole world falls apart in a catastrophe forcing him out of his comfort zone, and into the world where all the real problems are.  It is an interesting commentary on how most people live their lives and why they simply can’t see the solution to many of their problems.  I was a fan of Don DeLillo before the movie came to Netflix, and I thought the movie was good and had some interesting things to say.  And the train derailment portion of the film was just a small part of the plot; it certainly wasn’t the movie’s climax.  The tragedy was just the trigger that set off all the events that drove the plot.  But people couldn’t help but see how similar everything was to the movie, as the train derailment in real life occurred, and the public behaved precisely the same. 

As far as the government participation in the conspiracy, I don’t think the level of Mike DeWine and the political class as we know them would be involved in such a plot to make the movie come to life as a deliberate terrorist attack to punish Trump voters which are who the town of New Palestine was made up of.  Joe Biden and the White House had no desire to spend time with people who were not their target voters for the future, and that became grossly obvious as the tragedy unfolded.  But I would not be surprised to see that Deep State assets who work so maliciously in the background didn’t get terrorist ideas from the Dellilo books and hope to trigger a modern Bernadine Dorn or Bill Ayers type of terrorist roaming around in the background of liberalism in America to perform a terrorist attack.   Typically the makers of movies all have jobs to do so that they wouldn’t be involved in a mass conspiracy.  But the film’s producers and investors from Netflix might be so inspired.  Barack Obama, after all, is involved with Netflix, so the conspiracy theories spawn from that connection.  And there is no question art can inspire real life.  If a root cause analysis were really desired after many mass shootings, burnt-down warehouses, and train derailments, we would discover that popular culture, video games, books, and movies inspired terrorism.  And the Deep State’s desire for terrorism then can come from entertainment in general to inspire a silent army of terrorists who drugs and media would trigger to conduct their social warfare on an unsuspecting public.  And that could certainly be the case of White Noise inspiring terrorism in the real-life New Palestine train derailment. 

And how would they expect to get away with it, just as such acts of terrorism have been occurring all over the United States, obviously trying to destroy America’s infrastructure, and slow down its GDP, since China is struggling due to its investment in Covid?  Well, the Adam Driver character in White Noise tells us all how.  He also tells all the would-be terrorists how as well, how people won’t see what they do because the terrorist acts happen outside of the experience of the victims.  The movie, as seen by many, is a rather bizarre thing, and many people watching from the comfort of their living rooms find it hard to believe that the characters in the movie could be so asleep to the events of the world around them.  But that is because the consumer of media is used to the God view, where they get to see all the characters of a story when it is told and how they all connect.  But in our real lives, we often only see what concerns us and miss what is happening to others.  This is a kind of theme in most of Dellilo’s books, which is a valuable social commentary about how to live in an industrialized existence.  But it does give the bad guys ideas, and if they want to get away with a crime, a movie like White Noise will only give them confidence in getting away with it.  So did the movie predict what would happen in Ohio with a real-life train derailment, where reality inspired fiction or was it a warning from Netflix of things to come, just as was the case with Covid, where all the realities of the pandemic were rehearsed on Netflix before it happened in real life?  Whatever the case, we should learn something from all this: the answers to things often occur outside of the storyline, no matter who is telling it.  And terrorism these days happens everywhere, and people aren’t looking.  And it is there that we will discover our villains.

It’s All About the Kiss: We are not all one country and we will never get along

I’ve had to give the story hundreds of times since Joe Biden gave his State of the Union speech to the country early in the year 2023; what are my thoughts on it, and what does it mean for the country? Well, there were lots of sloppy discussions in it about the United States coming together and that we are all playing on the same team. Lots of droopy talk that nobody will ever agree with, talking about the state of the economy, the merits of foreign policy, taxes, and racism, which was meant to suppress the information that Democrats were the slave owners and Republicans freed the slaves. Yet, Democrats are trying to erase that history with government giveaways that just make modern slaves out of people through policy. Transgender Biden staff, the expansion of the intelligence agencies’ ability to keep Democrats in power, there was a lot to talk about. But for me, the essence of the entire speech came down to the kiss between Jill Biden and the husband of the Vice President Doug Emhoff on the lips in front of the world. People were outraged, and those who weren’t perfectly exhibited the differences between us all, and it really set the stage for the political differences that we have in America. And those differences aren’t bad. It’s not like those differences evolved organically. They are the result of liberal policy, and over time, some people have been suckered into it, and some have stayed off the fence. And those that the nectar of collectivism has seduced have very different ideas about government than those who don’t kiss people on the lips in public, conservatives who would rather not be touched by other human beings who aren’t intimate acquaintances.   

We just discussed this topic in Lakota schools in my home community in Northern Cincinnati. We learned about the sexual life of the school superintendent through a messy divorce and came to know about a network of adult swingers who have very different values from the conservative trend of Butler County, Ohio. We all know that there are people like that, but we often don’t learn about those traits in regular interactions around town. But nothing advertises it like kissing people on the lips who are not your spouse. My rules are fist bumps and handshakes. I’m not much of a hugger, even though I recognize that many people do like that exchange between human beings. I tend to like separation from such intimate exchanges. Conservatives respect other people’s personal space and want their space respected. Liberals tend to be collectivists, so their emphasis is to break down barriers and unify with fellow people as much as possible. And those kinds of rules are never more obvious than in swinging parties where spouses are swapped like baseball cards. And in the Biden family, there are obviously low personal barriers. There are plenty of video clips of Joe Biden sniffing children’s hair and talking about his hairy legs. Through his son Hunter Biden, we know that sexual perversions are part of the family business, and we know that Biden’s daughter showered with him, even though the FBI tried to cover it up with harassment. Why would we be surprised that Jill Biden would kiss other men on the lips? At this point, I think we would expect it. 

When conservative people in my neighborhood learned about the loose sexual standards of the Lakota administration, they were noticeably outraged, for all the same reasons people were outraged by the Jill Biden kiss. To her, it was business as usual. And to Democrats, who are all about collectivism and hiding their public timidity behind an altruistic veil of charity and compassion, don’t understand what the big deal was. Yet they are proposing policy for society through rules and regulations that embody their personal philosophy. In Lakota schools, the same people who were spending their time in bi-sexual Craigslist sexual adventures were the same people telling kids to wear a mask and to follow the CDC guidelines on Covid without question. As if all of society were some recessive at the hands of an S&M bondage session, and people would be OK with that. I look at deviant sexual behavior not as an expression of love but as an indication of insanity and something people need to manage in their lives. Giving in to every sexual temptation is weak and reckless. It’s not something that should be surrendered to. And that difference in opinion comes down to fiscal policy. The people who are fine with a handshake when meeting people are probably the same people who think the government should live within its balanced budget. But the people who want to trade wives, let kids rub their hairy legs at a swimming pool, and have same-sex encounters with middle-aged people are the same kind of people who want to spend endlessly from the country’s credit card and then demand that we pay our bills with more debt. 

These are probably not Trump supporters

I’ve watched people on Duval Street in Key West at the Garden of Eden above The Bull & Whistle Bar flood the place on a Friday night. It’s a clothing-optional bar where people can walk around fully naked. I don’t get it. There is nothing appealing about that kind of life at all, yet there are a lot of people doing it. And every year in Key West, they have a Fantasy Fest where people show up and walk around naked in the streets while drinking and showing themselves off to other people. Where do those people come from? Well, we learned that we have several in the Lakota school district. We know they are in the White House and are members of the Biden family. We know they work in entertainment and media in general and see nothing wrong with such public expressions of sexuality. And I think they are insane. If they have the desire to be so expressive in a public way their sexuality, it’s a free country. But I don’t want those kinds of people in my government. Not running a public school or running the White House. Sex, if it doesn’t involve making children, is a waste of time, and those who don’t see things that way shouldn’t be making fiscal policy and human rights decisions. Suppose they are kissing people who aren’t their spouse on the lips and wanting to walk around naked at a bar or party with swingers at a wife-swap encounter. In that case, they shouldn’t be in government and are not equipped to make decisions representing me, who thinks that a fist bump is oftentimes too intimate of personal exchange. We are not all one country, so long as those kinds of people are in it. And we certainly aren’t going to agree on much. Such people can’t get along because that often means that the prunes, like me, have to give up value judgments to get along with those types of people. And for the country’s sake, we can’t allow that to happen. It is good to have places like the Garden of Eden in Key West to allow the wrecked minds of adult society to go and express themselves. But once we lower our standards, then soon they’ll be in the White House, embarrassing us on the international stage. And to those with standards, they will never get along with people who kiss on the lips in public and think that it’s perfectly OK.

Nancy Nix is the New Butler County Auditor: Roger Reynolds files a Brady Motion that should prove his innocence from political theatrics and State activism of procedural misconduct

There is good news out there worth discussing, specifically that Nancy Nix is going to be sworn in on February 13th for the recently opened auditor job; she is undoubtedly the most qualified to provide a professional continuity to the great work that Roger Reynolds has done in that role for years. Nancy Nix is outstanding in her own way, which is why she was so easily picked to fill that vacancy after a recent trial against Roger Reynolds found him guilty on one of the charges, meaning he needed to step out of the job that voters had just popularly picked him for, knowing that there was a court case trying to establish that he had shown an unlawful interest in a public contract. Thinking back on the trial, which took place right before Christmas in 2022, there were seven charges in total, the seventh one came on during the summer of 2022, and that was the one that he was found guilty of, and it involved Lakota schools. Yes, the same Lakota schools that has had all the Matt Miller controversy, so there is plenty to talk about regarding that one. Once the trial started, Roger’s defense was able to get a charge waived, so this Lakota schools charge ended up being Count Six, and it specifically alleged that Roger Reynolds suggested a partnership between Lakota Schools and the Four Bridges Golf Club to expand an indoor golf training facility for the Lakota golf teams. Jenni Logan, the Lakota treasurer at the time, gave a testimony that the defense did not have adequate time to prepare for; they were caught by surprise by a number of things, which occurred because it was a late charge tossed on by the Sheriff’s office and the unique activism of the Attorney General, David Yost inspired procedural misconduct that left a one sided testimony that the jury sided with in the wake of further corresponding evidence to the contrary. 

Now I know all the characters in this story, and from my perspective, it was 100% politically inspired. You can tell by how the court case was either pushed out to accompany election results or rushed to prevent the defense from obtaining all the information they needed to argue everything in court. Of the original five counts, which were the bases of the case investigated by Sheriff Jones and his department, as reported by Channel 19 news, Roger Reynolds was found innocent on all those counts. This Count Six was added later, right before this case was set to go to court in the summer of 2022, as Jones and David Yost were trying to pressure Roger Reynolds to step down from his auditor role. Based on how things looked, and again, knowing some of the situation personally, it looks like they wanted to put overwhelming public pressure on Roger to avoid court since the system was stacked against him and open up that auditor seat for a pick more favorable to their political desires. That last part is my statement based on knowledge of the case. But it’s not hard to connect the dots; the trial was pushed back to a date after the 2022 election to see if Roger would win re-election, which he did. So the trial was used as a backstop to force him to be removed from office with one of those seven charges. And of those, only one stuck, the one that the defense had the least amount of time to prepare for, not surprisingly. 

However, after the trial, the defense obtained one of the Four Bridges emails that they indicated in a recently filed Brady Motion asking for a new trial just for Count Six that directly contradicts the testimony provided by Jenni Logan. The motion indicates that the prosecution knew of these emails, which weren’t revealed until after the trial because the State suppressed them. Not a surprise, given the political nature of this entire endeavor. I’ve read the Brady Motion filed by Roger’s defense team, which is consistent with what I thought about the case from the start. If the thousands of pages of documents and emails obtained by the State were applied, which they were fully aware of during the trial, but kept from the defense so they wouldn’t have time to prepare a proper defense, then that Count Six would have had a different resolution. One particular email referred to in the Brady Motion as the “Powell Email” directly contradicts the testimony of Jenni Logan, who was the sole witness by the State in support of Count Six. That specific email would have provoked the defense into calling testimony that would have inspired an innocence declaration based on the content, which is different from the Lakota treasurer’s memory of the case, which was quite old to begin with. As it turns out, Logan was interested in the proposal and was undoubtedly not pushed into any considerations.

The Brady Motion indicates that the State withheld material it knew to be exculpatory evidence, violating all kinds of laws. Now for context, the investigators in this trial are the same people who found Jenni Logan’s partner at Lakota schools, Superintendent Matt Miller, innocent of criminal wrongdoing when he admitted in a police report during this same period of time that the same people were prosecuting the Roger Reynolds case, that Miller’s police admission that he fantasized about “drugging, molesting, and video recording three kids from Lakota schools” was not criminal conduct. But Roger Reynolds, a respected Auditor of Butler County, abused his position by just thinking of a partnership between Lakota schools and the Four Bridges Country Club to help kids have a golf academy. To say the least, there is some procedural inconsistency, and that is being extremely polite. And both Jenni Logan and Matt Miller were offered jobs by mysterious forces to get away from the limelight at Lakota schools while things played out as a direct reaction to that Matt Miller police report. If this were not a political case, there likely would have never been a Count Six, let alone all the direct influence of the Attorney General’s office anyway. This case, from the beginning, was political and desired to abuse the control of the law to eliminate political rivals, which worked primarily regarding the suppression of evidence that looks to be intentional by the procedural renderings observed along the timeline. I think Roger has a good argument for a Brady Motion, and it would be well worth the effort and cost to ensure that a person found guilty of a felony has an opportunity at fairness. Not just for his sake but to repair the bad reputation that the court is now carrying because of this case. We want to show that the law cannot be used as a weapon, but as an arbiter of justice for everyone, no matter the political pressures.

Yet the biggest concern was that out of all this, Butler County taxpayers would lose the great work that had come out of the Auditor’s office. And now that Nancy Nix is stepping into that role, at least good government is returning to them, as Nancy has worked closely with Roger for a long time. Political turmoil is a constant hazard, especially when you do a good job and some people don’t want such a good job done. Roger Reynolds has undoubtedly been a target for political inspiration against him due to his high level of competence. And Nancy Nix as her own great person is great for that role. She will face many of the same forces, of course, but she is certainly skilled enough to navigate those dangers in her own way. But ultimately, we must make sure our courts work. In Roger’s case, if there is evidence that would find him innocent because right now he has a felony on his record that will last his entire life, and if he doesn’t deserve it, which based on the evidence suppressed by the State, appears to be the case, well then he should have a proper day in court to defend that charge, and not to be a victim of misconduct that uses the courts as a political weapon, rather than a defender of justice and honor.
