Right-to-Work Protests in West Chester, Ohio: The bad economics of dealing with people like Ed Conway

I watched with a quite a lot of disdain the West Chester Trustee meeting on January 10^th 2017 seen below where union dissidents poured into the chamber to flood the citizen comments portions with outside opinion in an effort to prevent West Chester from becoming the first right-to-work township in Ohio. As the meeting went on, especially at the 1 hour 19 minute mark, Lee Wong had coordinated the events in the room to invoke union radicalization through a poor understanding of both economics and the trends of democratic thinking–and chaos flourished. Labor radicals with the worldly understanding of a cockroach paraded themselves to the podium and yelled from the back of the room as Lee defied Mark Welch’s intentions to close the meeting because it was out-of-control. Each speaker in favor of the union position had already by that time showed exactly why West Chester needs to lead the charge for right-to-work in Ohio—because all of them failed to understand the nature of business creation and were reserved to look around their surroundings and proclaim that West Chester was good—so why change it. The height of their ignorance was fervently displayed ironically during a zoning change portion of the meeting when Chris Wunnenberg was speaking and the union slugs didn’t even understand that the proposal was a managed zoning change to inspire industrial construction—that such a proposal was not yet on the table. That of course contributes to the vast ignorance of the many speakers in favor of the unionized status quo—they don’t understand the mind of business and why providing economic freedom not only in the form of taxation, but in reduced complications against the managements of those proposed companies is important to the continued growth of West Chester in a positive direction.

Unions do not create jobs and unions certainly didn’t build West Chester as some idiot screamed from the back of the room. Business and financial opportunity built West Chester and its neighbor to the north Liberty Township. Unions are like tar pits, they just sit there and depending on their location, sometimes something good comes across them and gets stuck in their presence only to suffer a gradual and slow death for which they never escape. Companies do not want to share their management of operations with people like that Ed Conway from the video who claims he’s been in West Chester since 1988. Unions give people like Ed a seat at the table with the typically smart people who run companies—who go out on a limb with their risks to pour money into a business plan and to execute that plan for the potential of profit which workers then enjoy in the form of wages. Without that first step, and risk of the business owner and its managers, Ed wouldn’t have a job.

But no president or manager of any business operation wants some person like Ed joining the management of employee business because it greatly limits the amount of productive output that a company or business entity can generate per person. So for all the talk of how wages are driven up in unions and how that money is poured back into a region and that such a relationship is mutually beneficial for everyone—they don’t understand the mind of a typical businessman. They see a business owner driving a BMW or a Mercedes and they think they are rich and are entitled to some of their wealth through some communist upbringing they learned in their public schools—and they would be wrong. Business owners hoping not to get snared in these unionized tar pits locate in places so that they can avoid dealing with people like Ed.

I’m sure Ed Conway is a nice guy, he’s probably great to have a beer with at Buffalo Wings and Rings during a Monday Night Football game. There is nothing wrong with not being intellectually curious so long as people make it up with being a hard worker. I certainly don’t expect everyone in the world to read and always push themselves to be smarter from one week to the next for their entire lives—and if they want to use their union wages to feed their faces and become a gradual health risk—that’s their business—but don’t assume that they are capable of being a co-manager of a business operation. Businesses put up with unionized labor only if they can justify the effort in their profit margins. If the margins can’t justify the pain in the ass in dealing with people like Ed—and there are millions of Ed Conways out there—then they close shop and either retire or they move to someplace friendlier to business actions. For the proof, just drive through downtown Middletown sometime and you’ll see what people like Ed have done to their economic growth of a once proud town. Hamilton went through the same destructive process—unionized radicals drove Fisher Body out of the Hamilton/Fairfield area as well as International Paper—and many other places of business because unions and management just don’t go together as coequal parts unless the profit margins are so explosively good that ownership can justify the pain in the ass in dealing with the unions.

In the world we are living in today, price breaks are part of every discussion and companies can no longer jack up their pricing to absorb the loss in market value per employee that unions cost in reduced revenue generating potential. Let me be more specific. I was on a conference call just two days ago prior to this writing and I was speaking to a unionized facility in Minnesota. They are late on the delivery of something I need and an idiot on the other side of the line casually told me to expect delivery sometime in February. Well, that was the wrong thing to say. I reminded the person that February wasn’t a date—it’s a month—so I had to ask again what day in that month I would expect their already late delivery. They just didn’t get what I was saying until it was too late. They had already lost a future customer because I’ll never deal with such incompetence again once they have established a track record of failure. And the fault is in their poor understanding of the nature of productive work. They assumed that the work was some gift from the gods of production for which we are all benefactors and that they’d milk the job out until they saw fit to ship. But without my efforts, they’d have nothing to do. That work didn’t come from some god—it came from my efforts and without me, nothing happens. They are just a tar pit sitting there waiting for someone to get stuck in their mess—and that is how a typical union functions. They have no connection to productive output in a competitive marketplace. So they are too expensive to deal with and unreliable in delivery of their contractual obligations—most of the time—because they often have management at a disadvantage and unwilling to engage them. Similar to Mark Welch being stuck at the end of the meeting not able to get out until Lee Wong—who obviously was coordinating the chaos as a closet Democrat of the same mind as Lakota’s Sharon Mays and former school board president Joan Powell—unions play those mob rule democracy games all the time and managements of companies usually just endure the pain hoping the profit continues. You can see that on Mark’s face as he had to sit and listen to a bunch of idiots yak because Lee Wong was fanning the flames of discontent to appease his liberal sensibilities. No business owner wants to be in the situation Mark was in, so they avoid investing in areas where people like Ed’s unions try to co-manage a company—because they surely don’t want some guy like me calling them asking why they are late on delivery. What is that business owner going to say—“Ed Conway refuses to work on Sunday because the union contract says he has veto power over my management team?” But when a pricing squeeze is placed on them from outside forces—usually market driven–rather than deal with the union-they just move to some oversea option.

So when it’s wondered why right-to-work is important to West Chester, Ohio, and every state in America just watch this video. The zoning change that Chris is proposing depends on a friendly business environment to attract actual investment—otherwise he’s working for a developer with nothing to develop. People who might work at that facility are in limbo until some business decides to move to that location at the corner of 747 and Union Central Blvd—and they won’t do that if they are worried about dealing with intellectual handicapped people like Ed Conway. They’ll just take their operation to northern Kentucky where they are a right-to-work state. So if West Chester wants to compete for those businesses, and they do to keep feeding all the great service industry businesses that have invested in West Chester, they have to compete with Michigan, Indiana, and now Kentucky all with right-to-work incentives. Ohio is late to the party because John Kasich became a liberal like Ed Conway, Joan Powell and Sharon Mays and they want the union dues to keep feeding the bank accounts of the Democratic Party. But that’s no reason to stick with a tar pit in West Chester when it has a direct impact on whether or not a new business locates in the region.

Let me tell you dear reader what drives up wages—it’s not unions. If a company has over 20 applicants per job needed—which is where things are now—then wages will be low because a business owner would be insane to cut into their margins just out of the good of their hearts. Having good margins means they can compete better in the world marketplace when price breaks drive opportunity. So get that through your heads right now. If you really want increased wages then American business or even West Chester average wages need three or four jobs competing for the same applicant. That’s how wages increase and the only way you get there is by making it easy for a company to locate to your region and taking away the fear that some tar pit like Ed Conway will be in the board room negotiating employee pay, holiday schedules and work day limitations. And that is why West Chester benefits greatly by being the first township in Ohio to become right-to-work. The unions and their supporters are just tar pits waiting for some fool to get stuck in the Democratic ideology so they can slowly feed off their carcass. And unfortunately for them, most people running companies these days are aware of that toil, and they aren’t willing to even play the game. The bottom line is they don’t want to deal with people like Ed Conway because in the world of business, there are many more concerns and they don’t need the extra headache.

Donald Trump Destroys CNN: The art of being “invincible”

Oh how interesting the threads of deceit weave together, from John McCain to CNN—to the supposed Russian hacking—to the US intelligence agencies rushing to cover their asses after Donald Trump put a CNN reporter on the mat in a very alpha male way—the fight between good and evil is shaping up in favor of the good—for a change. The political left would tell you dear reader that there is no defined evil in the world—that everything is perspective—but reality says something different. Evil worked to push a story about Donald Trump indicating that he had hired prostitutes to piss on a bed in Russia and the incident was on tape—only truth be told—there was no evidence. Yet CNN ran with the story after U.S. intelligence tipped off by John McCain floated the nonsense against Trump just days before his historic inauguration hoping to bring harm to the newly elected president. Yet Trump showed what it looks like to stand above the very average and what the future will be like from the Executive Branch.

Josh Ernest of the current White House seemed excessively rattled by Trump’s refusal to take the whole Russian pissing story on the chin—the way that Obama had when that very same person (Trump) accused Obama of not being born in the United States. Well, Trump did force Obama to produce a birth certificate, but there are problems with that document which Sheriff Joe Arpaio pointed out—first of all, it was a digital document supposedly from the 60s which of course was before the invention of such things. That does create some believability problems for those who aren’t afraid of the evidence. But let’s not let the facts get in the way of the political left’s calling card toward equality. Let’s not point out what a bunch of low lifes the current Democratic Party really are—and to what level they will stoop to break the law and lie about it when caught. There are a lot of reasons to be skeptical of Obama’s life before he was president—but now none of that is important. Because we have a new kind of president entering the White House.

I listened carefully to many of my old Tea Party friends who worried about the way that Trump dismantled CNN after the piss story and carried it over into his suspicious inclinations about the American intelligence community. They worried about Trump’s unyielding nature and toiled over the concept of absolute power—which feared that Trump might do the same to anyone who stands against his wishes. But that doesn’t worry me—I understand business guys and I understand and appreciate what a CEO of a company brings to the table as far as leadership. Many of the founding fathers were like Trump—business guys thrown into the arena of politics and they created a Constitution that was very strong and rooted in correcting over a 1000 years of European mistakes. They were suspicious of central power because often such things corrupt people’s minds. But they never knew back then what a billionaire would look like created off Adam Smith’s economic theories and if one of those business guys were to make all the money they’d ever need, and enjoy all the things wealth can bring until he was tired of it—and wanted to run for president to do something good for his country while he still had time on the clock—what would it look like and how would it work? And would that person be willing to do as George Washington did and turn away from absolute power in the end and give it back to the people? Many worried about such things in the wake of Trump dismantling CNN. But I didn’t.

Businesspeople—especially good ones, are far superior to politicians because they produce what politicians seek to loot. But good business is not a collaborative endeavor. Unlike the current practices of group think tanks the Trump type of CEO that make people like Rex Tillerson do not share authority with other people. They are used to making decisions as a strong central authority and the rubber hits the road and stops where they say without compromise. And I understand that because of the Metaphysics of Quality philosophy by Robert Persig—the rules of leadership cannot work in caboose oriented think tanks. Quality doesn’t work with collective endeavor—it favors the strong individual and is a proper sequel to our American story for which Trump is now the author. In that world a person who survives much tribulation and arrives as an elder statesman unsympathetic to stupidity and unapologetic to those who set goals too low for themselves stand fearless in front of the world’s media and unloaded on everyone around him who was committing some form of injustice—as defined by the Metaphysics of Quality.

You see dear reader, we are not talking about average people who drift through life in the back of the bus, the back of the class, or plugged into soap operas during the daylight hours. We are talking about exceptional people who stand above average and yearn to push themselves to such heights. Normally those who seek the presidency of a company or a country hope that the title gives value on a social level based on those philosophies from civilizations over the last millennia. But what we have now is new, and fearless—because Trump had value before he won the presidency. A title doesn’t give him value—he already has it, so he can stand in front of nations hoping to extort him—or a media looking to compromise him, and he can stand up to them fearlessly because there isn’t anything they can do to him. But he could do a lot to them.

Needless to say, I have some experience with this. It is called in the great book on Japanese strategy, The Book of Five Rings the way of making oneself “invincible.” I learned in grade school, sometime around 7^th or 8^th grade that I could defend myself against any bully, with a combination of martial arts training and my work with bullwhips. Once you learn to physically stop anybody who wishes to do harm to you, you no longer have to fear them. What was even better is that I spent the next twenty years improving my mind. As I said to a group of people just today—who thought they were very smart strategists who plotted with great zeal actions against me—don’t play chess against me—especially if you only know how to master checkers. I can beat those people easily because I’m smart. There is literally no situation on earth that I’m afraid of—I can handle anything—and at some point, in the past—I have. I don’t mean to brag, but when I’ve taken on big issues where people who think they are important are involved—I don’t get nervous, and I never feel intimidated—about anything—and that’s a gift I’ve given to myself over the years. It doesn’t matter if its 3 thugs on a street corner or an entire labor union of thousands of leftists radicals—making oneself invincible is a skill that they can’t overcome—and they really don’t know what to do with such a person when they can’t beat them physically, or mentally. What are they to do in such a circumstance? They are completely at the mercy of such a person—and that’s a good place to be.

Great CEOs who acquire billions in personal wealth, like Rex Tillerson, Like Carl Icahn, and of course Donald Trump have mastered this type of thinking—being invincible—and when they become president and stand in front of a field of losers who have obtained everything in life through favoritism and whoring themselves shamelessly—people really don’t know what to do about it—and they can crush those people with just a look. And so Trump destroyed CNN with really one press conference. They’ll have a tough time as a news organization ever recovering because they really don’t know what to do with a person like Trump who understands what it means to be at the front of the train. Constitutionalists will worry, but history will ease their minds because once someone gets to the level of Donald Trump—they don’t worry about taking power from others—because they have the power of invincibility. And nobody in American history ever predicted what might happen if such people became president. But we’re about to find out. Thankfully. Because I’m ready. I know those kind of people and trust them more than any political system invented yet by the minds of mankind.

Trump will dominate for the next eight years, and after that, we’ll get eight years of Mike Pence. Then we’ll get at age 52 or so the first woman president in Ivanka Trump as she will have by then served 16 years to two presidential administrations. She’ll win easily, and by then the world will be a very different place—thankfully. That place will far exceed what traditional Constitutionalist could have ever hoped for under any other circumstances—because the key was never in rules, regulations, and traditions—but in a complete lack of fear from a human being who has mastered the art of invincibility. That skill does not mean you can act against another and win every time—but it does mean that you can keep yourself from losing. Offense always involves risk and leaves an attacker vulnerable. But Trump understands how to play these events and that’s what’s different than any other period in human history.

Lacy Clay’s Despicable Taste in Art: It’s not about race–it’s about personal values

Let me finally solve the mystery of the painting which won a contest in Democratic Representative from Missouri Lacy Clay’s district—which features angry black people inciting violence against police showing them as pigs—literally. It has no place in the American system of debate—it isn’t representative of the American experience, and it’s just disgraceful. So it should not be put up in any fashion on Capitol Hill. It isn’t a work of free speech—it’s the work of hatred. It is irresponsible for Lacy Clay to encourage the 18-year-old artist who made the painting because such a thing does nothing to heal the problems that we have in America regarding urban culture and suburban culture. They don’t like each other for obvious reasons—and those reasons aren’t black and white skin colors—it is in that they share completely different values and philosophies—and nothing will be fixed in that realm until lawmakers understand that.

A controversial painting on Capitol Hill depicting a police officer as a pig was becoming the very definition of a political football Tuesday as Democratic and Republican lawmakers repeatedly passed it back and forth in a growing tit-for-tat.

Democratic lawmakers tried – twice – to put the painting back on display after a GOP colleague took it down Friday amid outrage from law enforcement groups.

But every time they did, it was taken down again. Most recently, Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, R-Calif., took it down late Tuesday afternoon and brought it to the office of Democratic Rep. Lacy Clay, from whose Missouri district the picture came. Clay once again hung it up, saying he was “an expert at hanging artwork.”

Rohrabacher called the painting an “insult to all police.”

It’s unclear whether House leadership or some other office will step in to resolve the dispute.

The personal values of the stereotypical urban dweller are deplorable—they are all too happy to live in tight quarters, are disrespectful to others, they dress terribly, speak horribly and don’t set their sights very high doing no justice to those around them by way of creating a competitive driver toward better self-fulfillment. When a person who does work on dressing nicely, is respectful to others, and sets high goals for themselves encounters people of the opposite no matter what color their skin is or their gender—they won’t like them. They won’t desire to eat with them. They won’t want to park their cars in the presence of such loose characters. And they won’t choose to give their money to people who they really don’t like. They won’t shop in their stores. The suburbanite won’t seek to relish in the arts of the urban dweller because the two have nothing in common except their eating habits and desires to procreate.

Radical left leaning activists have for too long ignored the obvious problem—it’s not race that divides our nation—it’s the values of the low reaching not being compatible with the values of people who have value. If an urban dweller is fine playing on broken glass in an alley, they won’t have much in common with the suburban kid who plays in a nice back yard with parental supervision who brings cold drinks to the children and a towel to wipe away the sweat. America has to make a decision, does it want to be a great country that dreams great things—or do we want to play down to the most animalist ambitions of the human race—to mate, to steal from others, and to get through life doing only what is absolutely required?

There is a reason some of the great wonders of the world architecturally, and artistically feature excesses of ambition—it is because in the human race—to do more than is required is considered a noble endeavor. When a person tries to do more—there is a quiet rebellion going on against lackluster effort. It is the human proclamation to say—I am above the average—whether that work is the Eiffel Tower in Paris, the Great Wall of China, or a clean car neatly washed for a Saturday night on the town—putting forth the extra effort to be shinier than the other cars. I can say from experience which I have a great deal of in dealing with both factions—the two groups just don’t go together. Take a nicely polished Ferrari and park it at a meter three blocks north on Race Street in Cincinnati, Ohio and you will come because from the Aronoff to find it vandalized. Park that same car in the parking lot of Target in West Chester and it will be as you found it even if left alone for six hours a night. For all the vandals know, the driver of the Ferrari could be a black man or woman—but they don’t care. They hate the car because it screams to others that it is above the average of other cars, and the urban dwellers around that car will seek to knock it from its perch—because they don’t want to look up at it. They want to destroy it and bring it down to their low ambitions. It is there that the core of racism today percolates. It’s not about skin color, it’s about values.

Knowing that, the painting hung on Capitol Hill by Lacy Clay has no place in American culture because to display it and accept it is to yield to the values of the very average limits of urban ambition. It’s not skin color that people are afraid of—it is the behavior of people who would rather destroy those working to be more than average. Those who do try to be more than average aren’t going to chose to associate with those who think a conversation should be something like, “man, I lik to tap that shi.” They would more appropriately say, “Would you like to go on a date, see a movie—then let’s see what happens.” And the assumption of such an experience would be to go to a nice restaurant, see a nice movie, then end up in a clean bed. What both parties have in common is the desire to procreate, but the differences are phenomenal and not even compatible. Their methods are just too different to have anything in common and a nation cannot build itself around two distinctly different approaches to the same objective. That artistic painting which means so much to Lacy Clay does not belong in a country where people strive to make a few million dollars during their lifetimes to support their families with a few trips to Disney World sometime along the way before death finds them leaving it all to their family and friends.

The problem as suggested by that Capitol Hill painting against police isn’t whether there is discrimination of law enforcement against the black community, it is the cultural boundary which exists between urban dwellers against suburban occupants. The law is a mechanism of the suburbanite—the educated, value filled people who want more than just an average life. But that protector of private property—the cop—does not have much to do in a community of people who don’t care if their neighborhood is damaged with vandalism or drug dealers work every corner along their street. So all they can do is attempt to uphold the values of the suburbanites who actually pay their salaries—because after all—he who has the gold rules—which is a human trait—not one of race. People who refuse to participate in an open capitalist society will always have less gold and will be beaten by the very ambitious. The lazy will always resent the hard-working. And it will always be the people with gold who pay the cops—and the cops essentially exist to protect the rights and property of everyone. But for the slug that sleeps on sidewalks, sells drugs, and has children with nine different women without a job to pay for any of them, those people will never like cops—so there is no way to reconcile with them. America can only have one type of philosophy and if it really wants to be a great nation—it can’t celebrate art like the painting Lacy Clay supports. Because it’s not about race—it’s all about value and a nation can’t have it both ways and maintain its sanity. America has to choose.

Yes, Jeff Sessions Will Have to Prosecute Hillary Clinton: The crime is in the cover-up, and “forum shopping”

Of course when Senator Sessions is sworn in as the Attorney General for the Trump administration he’ll have to prosecute Hillary Clinton for her crimes committed ahead of her run for president of the United States. After all, that’s why the Clinton supporters are trying to pick a fight with Russia hoping to put Trump and his team on their heels on day one—because they know they committed crimes. The FBI released the emails which contain the smoking gun during the NFL playoffs and the Golden Globe awards. Those emails were always there and the FBI knew what was in them leaving Director Comey in a quagmire of indecision. Hillary’s people often blame Comey as well as the Russians, and Wikileaks even though John Podesta was so stupid in the handling of his own email account that he made the entire DNC vulnerable to cyber attack. For them it is easier to blame the world for being too vicious for their little leftist sensibilities. Yet Hillary Clinton always intended to commit crimes with her email server privatized while she held an important federal position because she was selling access to the White House through the Clinton Foundation. And all those idiots committed crimes to create the cover—and they got caught and the FBI being so politicized and corrupt had no choice but to dump the documents just before Trump’s cabinet picks began their confirmation hearings—hoping that a new administration might pick up the evidence and do the right thing.

The emails included in the documents are from the months prior to the formal opening of the Clinton email probe, which occurred on July 10, 2015. The exchanges show disagreements between the FBI and State Department over whether some of Clinton’s personal emails should be classified.

In one April 27, 2015 email, an FBI official wrote to other officials that they were “about to get drug into an issue on classification” of Clinton’s emails. The official, whose name is redacted, said that the State Department was “forum shopping,” or seeking a favorable opinion on the classification issue by asking different officials to rate emails as unclassified.

Other email traffic sheds light on a controversy involving State Department under secretary for management Patrick Kennedy and a request he made in 2015 that the FBI reduce its classification of a Clinton email related to the Sept. 11, 2012 attacks in Benghazi.

Clinton investigation notes released by the FBI in October showed that an FBI official said during an interview as part of the email probe that Kennedy asked him and others at the FBI to relax classifications on some emails.

(RELATED: State Dept. Official Wanted Clinton Email Reclassified Because It ‘Caused Problems’)

The new FBI release contains a May 21, 2015 email in which Michael Steinbach, the FBI’s assistant director of the counterterrorism division, detailed a conversation he had with Kennedy about the classification issue.

Steinbach said that the FBI had determined that one of Clinton’s emails should be classified using b(1) and b(7) redactions, used to protect information in the interest of national defense and to prevent the disclosure of a confidential source, respectively. Kennedy asked Steinbach to classify the email using only the b(1) category.

So what we have here are criminals in the federal government covering for their many mistakes even seeking to invoke World War III to accomplish their continued freedom. But to do the job of Attorney General correctly Jeff Sessions will have to prosecute Hillary Clinton—and it won’t be his fault, Donald Trump’s fault, Wikileaks, Russia, or anybody else—the fault is in the DNC and their pick of a criminal for their nominee to run for president. And those are the facts—and why the FBI shamefully released the documents long after the election was over in the vacuum of power between administrations—because they knew there was no political will to do the right thing because Democrats controlled the strings of power. Now things have changed and the FBI like everyone else is hoping that justice will see the light of day. So really, Jeff Sessions and Donald Trump have no choice. Hillary Clinton will have to go to jail—and it will be her fault and those who enabled her. The evidence is…..abundant!

Meryl Streep’s Pretentious Fat Ass: Hollywood’s tremendious disrespect for theater owners

Meryl Streep got on my last nerve during the 2017 Golden Globe award show recently when she used her speaking time after winning a lifetime achievement award to bash the Donald Trump presidency. As her mouth oozed liberal nonsense I thought of the many theater owners across the nation who are desperate for Hollywood to justify the massive investments they have spent creating venues for idiots like Streep to show their stupid movies—and I witnessed the ultimate in unappreciative audacity from the Hollywood left.

Streep tried to appear that she was reaching out to mainstream America by appealing to the diversity of the popular actors that had all been nominated for some kind of Golden Globe on that January 8^th evening. But like the typical blabber mouth suburbanite who rattles off facts they’ve learned on daytime television, like game shows, talk shows like Oprah and Ellen, and the QVC network—Streep had such a terrible grasp on worldly events that I almost felt sorry for her. But, she spoke as if she were an authority on immigration and what it takes to have a successful economy, and NBC let her go on and on wasting valuable airtime bloviating about things she knows nothing about because it fit their political outlook and they assumed that the audiences at home would just put up with it.

Well, Meryl, the very economy that you know nothing about is putting the squeeze on the Hollywood industry that you represent. There is some intense competition nowadays against the Hollywood product and people really don’t want to listen to some fat assed old chick lecture Americans about diversity, fairness, and political ethics. We want to watch movies where things blow up, good guys beat bad guys, and women look good and act better. Get it Hollywood. We don’t want films about anti-gun arguments, or some sappy assed Indian floating around in a boat. We want action, adventure and intellectual stimulation—and if Hollywood can’t give it to us, we’ll get it somewhere else.

And don’t think for a moment that the world will continue to put up with an entire industry full of communist leftists. Meryl mentioned that if it wasn’t for them, (the actors) all we’d have for entertainment was football and fighting—otherwise testosterone driven activities. Let me say this to Meryl and all her Hollywood friends—other people can do their job easily. I know I could. I’m not in the business because I refuse to deal with their labor unions. I don’t want to be in the Screen Actors guild, I don’t want to be in the Writer’s Guild—I don’t want to deal with them in any way. But if they weren’t around—a guy like me could write, act, produce, and direct all the best of you into oblivion without even having to work at it. Instead, I do other things because honestly, I don’t want to deal with people like Meryl Streep as part of my occupation. It’s not worth the money that comes with it. And I’m not the only one—let me tell you that. What you do isn’t that hard.

Because of the labor unions the cost of making a movie is just too great and the major studios struggle to make a profit. Most studios don’t make it very long in the industry. Companies like Disney and Warner Bros. make the business model work because they have superhero franchises and science fiction properties that help them balance the books—but for everyone else—there’s not much appealing out there. Like who made the decision to make the movies Christmas Office Party and Why Him? Who in their right mind as a studio head thought that it was fair to the theater owners out there to give them those offerings over the Holiday Season of 2016? Those are movies that could have been made direct to video for Netflix or Amazon Prime for a fraction of the production budget. Why can’t the studios make more films like Star Wars which makes over a billion dollars at the global marketplace during their theater runs. If snotty actors like Meryl Streep didn’t hate money so much they’d understand that the Hollywood product and the theater owners out there in the world are in a marriage—they both need each other—and Hollywood hasn’t been doing their share of the heavy lifting. They make crappy movies about their goofy leftist philosophies then wonder why nobody goes to see them.

Has Meryl Streep went to a movie and paid $20 for a popcorn and one drink lately? I do it fairly regularly even though I can make the same at my home for about a $1.50. I buy the popcorn at movie theaters to help the owners stay in business with their crazy overpriced food because not enough butts are in the seats watching the movies that Hollywood makes. For instance, when the great movie Raiders of the Lost Ark was made—the filmmakers knew they were making a popcorn movie for fans to support the entire movie business. But that was forty years ago now. Who is making movies like that now except for Lucasfilm? Who? If people want a message story—they can get that on Netflix. Who wants to go to the movies to see a political message except for a very small portion of a potential audience. I’m not saying that films that are shown at Sundance shouldn’t be made—I enjoy them even though I seldom agree with their politics. But a movie at the theater needs to be a big event and Hollywood should always endeavor to make a movie that generates the greatest revenue possible. Most of the movies Meryl Streep makes are movies that anymore should only appear on the cable network Lifetime or an online download service.

For instance, The Crown which did well at the Golden Globes is a far superior product than what the motion picture industry produced for movie theaters. I almost feel like I’m cheating to see such a great product at home on my giant 70” 4K television with popcorn fresh from the kitchen and a whole two liters of pop giving me instant refills any time I want it. And The Crown was around 10 hours of production versus 2 to 3 hours for a typical movie. You get a whole lot more consumer product of the Netflix produced show as opposed to the Hollywood product made for theater distribution. The same with the other major hit from Netflix—Stranger Things—which was a lot better than the 80s films it was meant to tip the hat to—like Poltergeist, E.T., and Goonies. Stranger Things doesn’t need a movie theater—viewers can just watch it anytime they want without the shared experience of other human beings touching their armrest or checking their cell phone in the middle of a movie in a darkened theater.

You see dear reader—the reason Meryl Streep is an idiot who abused her reputation and the entire Hollywood community with her rantings against Donald Trump is because it was all done at the expense of the theater owners of America—whom she might as well have just spit on during the Golden Globes. Guys like me won’t go see Meryl Streep movies which she doesn’t care about either. We can ignore each other and be perfectly happy in life. But, if I don’t go to the movies the theater own doesn’t make back their money for showing one of her stupid movies since there is other competition out there which offers often a far superior product. And Hollywood instead of making the kind of movies they need to make to compete with these changing markets and times—are imprisoned to drama queens like Streep who hide behind their labor unions to make more stupid movies they think are “art” only to sink more production companies who go out on a limb trying to bankroll their film projects.

So while all those idiots at the Golden Globes sat there clapping at what Meryl Streep was saying—the people who really suffer from the Hollywood industry’s lack of focus and business understanding were cringing stage right. And that is where people like Meryl don’t help Hollywood, they hurt it—like an overprotective, manipulative, fat assed mother hen who keeps the potential of a child locked away in a bedroom hoping to preserve her “work of art” from the realities of life. It’s business sweetheart—and you’re hurting it—most notably the theater owners who count on Hollywood to make something people can’t get with free internet porn and Netflix—something epic and truly something people only want to see the first time in a darkened movie theater—with strangers. Get with it—or you will destroy it all. Because the world will move on without your pretentious ass.

Jane Timken Wins Ohio Republican Party Chair: Gold diggers, mistresses, the media and Matt Borges

Let’s just say this—I told people right here on this blog site—which quite a few in the media around the city of Cincinnati read—often—that Matt Borges was out of power essentially on October 16^th just a few weeks before the great election of Donald Trump on November 8^th. CLICK HERE TO REVIEW. That information came from inside the campaign by people who know Matt best and the writing was on the wall. However, the media chose to use the conflict between Trump and the Ohio governor John Kasich—for whom Matt Borges was loyal to—as a way to demean Trump’s grip on Ohio. Well, as everyone now knows—which I predicted all along, Trump won Ohio by nearly 10 points all across the state in spite of the ankle-bitter tactics of John Kasich and now Matt Borges has been replaced as the Ohio Republican Party chair with Jane Timken. Jane was a Trump supporter, Matt worked behind the scenes to sabotage Trump so to preserve a chance for Kasich to run again possibly in 2020. After all, John Kasich started running for president in 2013 right after he lost the SB5 Bill to the labor unions and he moved to the political center—even left of center at times. He expanded Medicaid for the Obamacare exchanges which went against the Ohio Health Care Freedom Amendment and he set himself up as a political progressive—which is what he was all along—only he hid it from us. Many Republican leaders lashed out at all of us reform Republicans for several years chronicled on these pages and one by one they have all fallen from power. And now Matt has joined them because he picked the wrong person to back and as I said months ago—the Republican Party in Ohio is now firmly in Trump’s corner.

Matt tried to sell himself as a unifier of the Republican Party and under his leadership more would be elected—but as we have seen—the best unifier is victory and Trump is the master of that. Under Trump—there will be more Republican seats won in all positions from federal, state and local bids than at any other time in American history—so Matt and his buddy John Kasich are now on the political out—forever. And they chose that fate. When Matt leaned recently on powerful local Republicans during a power lunch opportunity—which the media was not to know anything about—he attempted to create doubt in those people by taking a position on the now famous Trump tape saying “he had never heard any locker room talk like that.” That of course was a lie because anybody with a penis has heard that kind of talk in a locker room with other males starting in the 7^th to 8^th grade. What Trump said on that bus with Billy Bush was essentially that—and NBC and the political elite—John Kasich included—attempted to capitalize on it to their own detriment.

Everyone knows that when a man achieves great power in life that some women throw themselves at them—and will let a man do anything they want in exchange for access to power. Matt knows that, Kasich knows that—Trump certainly knows that and so did all the Republicans at that lunch. It’s not some mystery in the universe, but what is insulting is when people understand these naturally human traits then pretend we don’t live in that world of reality by taking some progressive stance favoring social engineering which is proving to be quite destructive to the condition of human experience. If you are a powerful man, some women will let you grab their vaginas almost anytime—but of course they expect something in return. In the locker room—we call them gold diggers. You probably know a few of them dear reader—especially if you vote in favor of school levies—because nearly all supporters of higher taxes for schools are these kinds of people—hence my term for them which is “latté sipping prostitutes with asses the size of car tires and diamond rings to match.” Remember that? Get a few drinks in those people and they’ll let you grab anything you want—in exchange for a sugar daddy, or a levy vote. Go to any bar, or nail salon and you’ll see them—even sitting around the dining room of Applebee’s.

Matt as a leader of a political movement is supposed to be savvy enough to know these things. So playing innocent to such decadence wasn’t becoming because it either showed foolish naiveté or the ability to say one thing and mean another. Both are bad traits. So he has lost his seat and he seems perplexed about it—but he should know better. He picked a loser and there are consequences to those types of actions.

Honestly I am enjoying this trend under Trump to see women taking over these traditional positions held often by men—so I am a fan of Jane Timken becoming the next chair. As crude as the world knowledge about the way men behave in the locker room—or at the bar sipping drinks and gawking after women as grown adults—women like Kellyann Conway and Jane Timken are remarkably free of that bad behavior that comes with most men—so if you really want to reform politics—it is good to have more strong women who do not behave with such gutter talk in positions of serious contention. Because another secret to the behavior of men around women is that when they are around women who behave as quality individuals, men tend to elevate their conduct. Men respect power and women who place themselves above the fray of the gold diggers are admired for all the right reasons, so the Republican Party is always in better hands when such women are a part of it—especially leading it. With Jane, there won’t be all the double talk that we had with Matt and that will be a relief.

When Kellyann Conway said that she could balance her career as a Trump advisor with her many kids and husband at home because she didn’t have a “mistress” this is the kind of thing she was referring to—a lot of men spend entirely too much time on such things and it eats up their productive output. When they get a taste of success and start having some of those gold diggers approach them in suggestive ways—it can become like a drug because when they were younger and less successful, getting women to pay attention to them was much harder. When Billy Bush giggled about Trump’s comments it was in admiration for a man who had climbed the mountain and now as a celebrity with a top rated television show on NBC gold diggers where throwing themselves at Trump aggressively and he seemed to be genuinely shocked by the experience.

Rock stars have the same temptations—women and men seek backstage passes so they can let some famous person “mark them” and from there they take that experience to elevate their social position among their peers in whatever dysfunctional way they can. Successful people who move beyond that kind of nonsense, like Kellyann Conway are the really competent people you want to hold powerful position because they tend to be more productive without being enamored by the terrestrial delights of temptation.

With Jane Timken the Republican Party in Ohio will flourish as the old fades away into nothing and the new comes forward with great ideas and fresh approaches to the old temptations—which adversely will have much less influence on the direction of the party going forward—and that is a great thing. The conversation of philosophic Republicanism will be elevated and Ohio will be a major player in the Trump administration under Jane’s leadership—but just don’t forget where you heard all this—way back in October when CNN was declaring Trump’s candidacy dead in Ohio and that Kasich would continue to hold the reigns of power—I told you otherwise. The only thing Kasich is holding now is his bags as he will be exiting as governor soon—and Matt Borges will be with him. If we really want to fix things and to have a strong political party we have to be honest about things—and people like Matt who say one thing then do another have no place in such a world. They are after all just another form of that infantile locker room talk where people pretend to be something they aren’t so they can get something from someone else. In women we call them gold diggers—but in men we call them something else—and they know the term. And Matt Borges was and continues to be one of them—which is why he is no longer the chair of the Republican Party in Ohio.

Congratulation to Jane Timken on her major upset victory in becoming the Ohio Republican Party Chair. Jane is a loyal Trump supporter & star

Guide to the Donald J. Trump Inauguration: The reality behind one of the greatest events in history

For many on the Trump website linked below are some really wonderful items that people can get to remember the occasion. Also below is the inauguration schedule including the various balls so that you can make your plans. The balls range in price from about $150 dollars a plate to $10,000. All of them look to be an event of a lifetime and worth the money. So use this as your guide dear reader to the Trump Inauguration—and—have a good time!

https://shop.donaldjtrump.com/collections/inauguration

The inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump features a long list of official and semi-official events and celebrations.

There will be plenty of protests and counter-rallies as well, with a list of some available here.

Here’s the schedule for events that will usher Trump to the White House:

Wreath-laying ceremony, Jan. 19

Arlington National Cemetery

Trump and Vice President-elect Mike Pence will lay a wreath at the cemetery in honor of the nation’s veterans. Details have not been publicly announced.

“Make America Great Again!” welcome celebration, Jan. 19

Ceremony will be held at the Lincoln Memorial

This event will feature “a diverse group of performers” in a concert followed by comments from Trump and Pence. Tickets are required for special viewing areas. Further details have not been publicly announced.

Inaugural Gala, Jan. 19

The country performers Big & Rich plus Cowboy Troy will headline an Inauguration Gala presented by the Great America Alliance, a superPAC that supported Donald Trump’s campaign. Celebrity cameos announced so far include former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, actor and conservative commentator Jon Voight, “conservative star Sheriff David Clarke” and Dr. Dorothy Woods. It’s not clear if Trump or Pence will be present.

Inauguration ceremonies, Jan. 20

Ceremony begins at 9:30 a.m. Eastern, U.S. Capitol Building

Trump and Pence will be sworn in on the west front of the Capitol . Their families and members of Congress, the U.S. Supreme Court, diplomatic corps and other invited guests will be seated on the ceremony platform. Amid tight security and frigid weather, the best seat is likely going to be your couch. The event will be televised and streamed live online, including here on UPI.com.

Security will be tight, with all viewing areas near the event requiring tickets – 250,000 of them – and a security screening beginning when gates open at 6 a.m. Here’s what inauguration ticket-holders are prohibited from bringing: aerosols, alcohol, firearms, ammunition, animals (except service animals), backpacks, roller bags, suitcases, bags larger than 12″x14″x5″, balloons, balls, banners, signs, placards, bicycles, non-ADA chairs, coolers, drones, explosives of any kind, glass, thermal and metal containers, knives or other sharp objects of any length including pocketknives, laser lights and laser pointers, mace or pepper spray, noisemakers like drums or bullhorns, packages, poles and selfie-sticks, spray containers, strollers, structures, supports for signs or placards, toy guns, tripods, umbrellas, weapons of any kind and “any other items that may pose a threat to the security of the event as determined by and at the discretion of the security screeners.”

People who arrive without tickets – an estimated 500,000 are expected – will be able to view the event from the National Mall behind the ticketed areas.

Music begins at 9:30 a.m. Eastern. Performers scheduled so far are America’s Got Talent winner and platinum-selling singer Jackie Evancho, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, the Radio City Rockettes (who also performed at George W. Bush‘s inauguration ceremonies) and the Missouri State University Chorale.

Opening remarks begin at 11:30 a.m. Eastern. Religious leaders who will give readings, benedictions and invocations include New York Archbishop Timothy Michael Cardinal Dolan, the Rev. Samuel Rodriguez of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference, Pastor Paula White of New Destiny Christian Center, Rabbi Marvin Hier of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, the Rev. Franklin Grahamof the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and Bishop Wayne T. Jackson of Great Faith Ministries International.

Inaugural Parade, Jan. 20

Begins at the conclusion of the inauguration

Trump and Pence will make their way from the Capitol to the White House down Pennsylvania Avenue as part of a parade that includes high school and college bands; police posse, motorcycle and cavalry units; veterans and active members of the military; and the Boy Scouts of America, among others.

Inaugural Balls

Three official inaugural balls are planned featuring appearances by Trump, including one being dubbed the Big Apple Ball in Washington but with New York-themes dominating under Trump’s personal direction, according to TMZ. Details are still developing.

Here’s a list of other, unofficial balls:

Deploraball, 7 p.m. Jan. 20 A $250 per plate event that takes eponymous pride in Trump nemesis Hillary Clinton‘s claim that half of his supporters are “deplorables” is no joke, though there’s a lot of snark and sarcasm inherent in this event and its promotion. The reception begins at 7 p.m. at the Bolger Center in Bethesda, Md., just outside Washington, with a silent auction to benefit veterans and event host Gays for Trump, followed by dinner and dancing at 8 p.m. This event has publicly illuminated growing fractures among Trump’s most fervent supporters among the so-called “alt-right” who helped create the ball via a social media group known as MAGA-3X. Organizers who hoped for an inclusive “big-tent” event have butted heads with event co-founder Tim Treadstone, who has posted homophobic and anti-semitic remarks via @BakedAlaska on Twitter. Milo Yiannopoulos, a Briton who works as an editor for Breitbart News known for acerbic commentary on and off Twitter where he was recently banned, reportedly is scheduled as a guest of honor.

Sister Cities International Inaugural Gala, Jan. 17: Showcasing citizen diplomats in peace across world peace efforts. $150-$250

To Think Outside of the Box, Get Rid of the Box: The keys to heathcare reform under a Donald Trump administration

The future of healthcare as Obamacare is poised to be repealed, and Democrats are squealing for the same old same old, has nothing to do with where we’ve been. Healthcare will not be a managed care oriented contraption as it is now, where the goal of healthcare is to stave off sickness, or prolong it over a number of years with lots of drugs–but to actually fix people. The future of healthcare, even simple dental work is not in false teeth and hip replacements–but in rebuilding what the human body already makes for itself–except in extending that period beyond the years of age 30.

You see dear reader, within our DNA we have been programmed at some point in the past to get old and die prematurely, and this is not conducive to our new age of space exportation where the continuity for journeying to and from distant planets requires human beings to live well beyond a hundred years of age–healthily. It is time to take that great step, and the tools are on the table in front of the FDA. All it takes is a bold administration such as the Trump White House to unlock these great scientific breakthroughs–which I have been talking about for years. Well, the time is upon us. The way to bring down the cost of health insurance and allow companies to provide great dental and eye care plans is to actually fix people so they don’t need all the expensive third-party care and can live like perpetual 35 years olds–for as long as a human being chooses. Watch the following videos to learn more on the details.

Politicians are locked in a box of their own making. Others are in another box regulated by their religious beliefs. But history tells us for those who look to the Bible for guidance that early human beings–particularly before the great Deluge flooded the ancient world carrying away Noah and his family from the debauchery of their day–people lived for thousands of years–and they could again today. Death is not a necessity and the human race has returned back to the Garden of Eden and instead of listening to that vile snake, we can now eat from the Tree of Eternal Life. We have a galaxy to explore as the human race, and its time we unleash that potential starting with our age restrictions. 100 years just isn’t enough time to accomplish much as a human being–we need more time to complete tasks and we have an immediate need to solve the healthcare puzzle–cost wise, so the solution is obvious.

Cancer treatments should not take months or years of chemotherapy, it should be done in an afternoon with the simplicity of recovering from the common cold. Human bodies need to continue providing fresh tissue to build with instead of running out of material and breaking gene gaps as age advances. This is a choice now that there is science maturing in the regenerative medicine industry. The way to solve all the medical problems of our time is by keeping people healthy, working, and wise by making health care so cheap it could be sold at Walgreens without a prescription.

Politicians will worry that regenerative medicine will put many in the medical industry out of business–such as those who currently make false teeth, knee replacements and those many hospitals that need sick people in their beds to maintain their business models. But the innovations will in all of science create jobs that will net more than the present medical industry sustains by keeping people perpetually sick. It’s not that long that we will have hotels and mineral mines on the moon and there will be much more wealth created in those endeavors than the present unsustainable trajectory of the medical field. Who wants to train to be a nurse when that same potential employee could learn to make new uses for the platinum, gold and Helium-3 that is abundant on the Moon. How do you pay off that extensive national debt and get out from under China’s bankers? You mine the moon and give a tremendous boost to the economy creating new jobs meant for space exploration and you make it so that people can live long enough to manage missions to and from distant plants over 200 to 300 years round-trip. And what to do with the exploding population on earth because people don’t die as fast as they are being born–they move into space by the same inclination that humans discovered the New World–for opportunity, potential wealth, and freedom from tyrannical governments. There are a lot of people who would settle on Mars if they knew they could come and go from earth every now and then and could repair the stress on their bodies from living in two different gravity zones. They’d live on Mars the way that mountain men do now on earth, to be free of politicians and the noise of a big city. Only on Mars we could at least get them to begin terraforming the planet while they are there. Regenerative medicine is the key to unleashing all these potentials and the Trump administration has possession of that future–and they are bold enough to act in favor of that positive fate.

It won’t be enough to just have a healthcare plan that is a few hundred dollars a month paid for mainly by an employer. Even with the Trump plans to create private sector competition to bring down healthcare costs–still the practice of getting sick as an elderly person places a burden on our society that prevents economic growth equitable to our current status as a human race. The very smart people in the videos shown on this article will all tell you that their greatest hindrance to bringing their products to market is with the FDA which places a bureaucratic burden that is ominous to overcome. The science is there, but the politics is resistant to it for many reasons–mainly because politicians are slow to embrace new technology because their minds are “in a box.” This healthcare problem has its solution completely outside the box, so its time to just throw away the box in this discussion for the sake of urgency. Within a few years under a friendly Trump administration expediting many of these innovations sitting in front of the FDA we could have a totally different healthcare system focused on healing instead of preventive death or slowing down the effects of old age before we have another presidential election.

Regenerative medicine could change the marketplace as fast the iPhone become a normalized part of our economy or the concept of a personal drone went from a strictly professional application to a consumer market being sold to ordinary people at Best Buy. Regenerative medicine would have an instant impact on America’s position as a leader of global healthcare and would create wealth in ways unfathomable to any other predecessor–and the end game would to carry our human race into a space race by the end of the 21st Century. That step could be taken in the coming months and could be unleashed within a year–and it would be exciting. But first, congress has to take that first critic step–they have to get rid of Obamacare–and not let “inside the box” politicians resort back to the same old managed care options. Because they never worked, and they are not the future. Get out of the box and let’s make something completely different.

The Best Coverage on ‘Rogue One’ Anywhere: Matt Clark and Rich Hoffman’s ‘Star Wars’ New Year show on WAAM radio

I would dare say that no Star Wars fan anywhere could get a better radio show than the one that Matt Clark and I did on WAAM for what has become an annual event for us. We didn’t just cover the usual fan elements of the famous Star Wars series, but the cultural aspects and importance that it has on the human race. To that effect, we covered the latest film Rogue One and contemplated the direction that Lucasfilm is moving the Disney property in and the importance all these events play on the future of not only American society, but that of the entire world. This is a recording that you’ll get no place else dear reader, one that is far superior to the usual Hollywood press–so enjoy it and share it with a friend.

Donald Trump and Putin: Carrie Fisher’s death and the root of all success

It has been hilarious to watch the political order of our day react to the potential of a Donald Trump presidency—particularly in relation to Russia. The assumption is that the political class on planet earth is something of a magical aristocratic entity of supreme knowledge. Some silly businessman from New York couldn’t possibly know how to deal with Russia’s supreme leader, “Putin.” After all, business people are “common stock” who are picked by politicians to succeed or fail in life based on their altruistic contributions to charity and events organized by the political establishment. For me it has been excessively funny to read the many articles in USA Today, Rolling Stone, the New York Times and elsewhere as this supposition has taken place regarding Donald Trump’s reaction to events around the world. The basic premise of every article is that Trump is not very smart and is poised to be outplayed by every player on the world stage to the disadvantage of America.

Happy New Year to all, including to my many enemies and those who have fought me and lost so badly they just don't know what to do. Love!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 31, 2016

Everyone who reads here knows I am a Star Wars fan and I do think it’s sad that Carrie Fisher—the actress who played Princess Leia in the films–died essentially on Christmas Eve of a massive heart attack. I enjoyed her character in the movies she played and I thought she was a brilliant writer—and a witty personality. I enjoyed her appearance in The Force Awakens, but honestly, she was a broken person in that film barely able to hold a presence on-screen because she essentially had destroyed herself over the preceding 30 years. One of the treats for me of the new film Rogue One was that Princess Leia as a nice 19-year-old young lady appeared at the end of the film which restored her reputation a bit in my eyes—and I felt this before the death of Carrie Fisher. In the original films, Carrie Fisher was turning out to be one of those Hollywood liberal girls who are essentially destroyed before they turned 25. The drugs and hard living as a pass around celebrity ruined her body making her into a joke by the time she was resurrected in The Force Awakens last year. I watched her interviews as a 59-year-old and winced many times as she spoke because she was essentially a destroyed human being and she had at least enough wit to make fun of herself over it. After all, what else was she going to do?

Carrie Fisher’s lifestyle is what killed her—it wasn’t some cruel act of fate—it was years of bad living and taking too much anti-depressant medication—being overweight, then losing weight and straining a body that was already destroyed two decades before. It was sad to hear just prior to the Donald Trump election of 2016 that Fisher was criticizing the president-elects sniffing during the debates as if he were a “coke head” because she knew from experience. And that she had written a book featuring her young affair with Harrison Ford attempting to tell the world psychologically that at one point in time, she was “hot.” Harrison Ford was gracious about the whole episode letting Carrie have a fond reflection of a time when she was a 19-year-old girl sleeping with a 33-year-old married man and running around the streets of London with him in 1976. He didn’t ask her not to do it, and let it run its course right up to the day she literally died.

As much as I like Star Wars and those actors for the part they played in the movies, I found their public comments about Donald Trump disturbing because they assumed as celebrities they knew something about the world that the rest of us didn’t. Harrison Ford I think is a great actor, and I admire how well he has kept himself in shape, and he was fun to watch in Force Awakens because he was able to resurrect a good character he helped create over thirty years ago. But Harrison Ford is still the idiot who gave himself an earring for his 50^th birthday because he thought of it as some kind of rebellious proclamation he had earned with advanced age—and he’s maintained that earring now for over 23 years. I am coming up on my 50^th birthday soon, and I can tell you dear reader—I have no temptation of getting an earring. That’s just never going to happen—so these liberal actors live in some other world and they constantly fail to understand their role in it.

Since Carrie Fisher’s death along with many other celebrities and their fans, those soft minded modernists who get most of their news from People Magazine, and Entertainment Tonight, are sad that in 2016 stars like Prince, David Bowie, Carrie Fisher, George Michael, and many others died giving Generation X a harsh taste of mortality. What nobody has essentially discussed was that most of those deaths occurred with a common theme of personal use of antidepressants to solve addictive personal problems stemming from poorly managed lives—and that the deaths were not so much a sad proclamation from the gates of Heaven, but just average people who faced crises and disappointments in their lives with real life blandness. The magic of their imaginations lived through in their music and characters they played through their art—but they were not able to bring that art into their personal lives—which is the real tragedy. The real Princess Leia would never do drugs or suffer through depression because that character would dominate those emotions and fight through them without chemical aid. Unfortunately, most people never really get to know these people up close—to smell their bad breath, to see that they have pimples on their foreheads covered up with caked on make-up—so all they know of those stars is what they see in their art. They never know the real people. It wasn’t that long ago where I went to dinner with a few of the members of the hit television show Beverly Hills 90210 and I was surprised at how average the girls were who were there. They spoke and acted just like 20-year-old girls in Cincinnati, Ohio where I was from—and they had the same problems. These are the people who make up our media culture and the same idiots who think that Donald Trump is a joke and not smart enough to deal with major problems around the world.

I had a chance to work in Hollywood, several times if I played it right—and believe me I thought about it. All I would have had to do was laugh at the stupid jokes of those same girls, pander to the intelligence of the 30-something directors and producers and not advertise my conservatism so boisterously. I never thought it was fair, but honestly the way that culture is now you have to be a pretty superficial underachiever to make it in Hollywood because very few people of any real talent can survive unless they put their face on some really bleeding heart liberal causes—otherwise you are cast out of their aristocratic society. Washington D.C. operates in much the same way only instead of that aristocratic society being pretty actors and actresses—they are lawyers too afraid of private practice still trying to justify the massive investment their parents spent on their college educations by hiding on K-Street where the easy money and prostitutes are. Since I didn’t fit in any of those categories and was by instinct a person of action—I had to live authentically, and that meant that my talents needed to be the kind that people wanted to make movies about—not of the type that were about people who wanted to be people who really did things but were afraid to try—then tried to cover up that fear with lots of cocaine and antidepressants coupled with self-destructive sexual relationships. It is harder to live real life and to a spectacular person that history will want to remember than to be some second-hander actor or politician who thinks it’s cool to get an ear-ring on their 50^th birthday—because it helps start dinner conversations with other weak people at mindless Hollywood dinners.

Trump unlike all these other people and celebrities is a man of achievement—a guy who has built himself over and over again and always succeeded. Success is not an accident—a successful person can have everything stripped away from them—they can have every hard luck issue tossed in their direction—every unforeseen death—every perilous catastrophe and they pound, and pound and pound right on through to see a successful resolution. That is the common trait of all successful people. They don’t hide from their problems behind alcohol or other drugs and they don’t yield to personal addictions. They simply outwork those around them until their personal goals are met.

The best example of this that I’ve ever seen in a popular movie is from the Ridley Scott film, Gladiator. In that film Maximus the star general of the Roman emperor had everything stripped away from him, his career, his family, his reputation—everything only to be resurrected as a slave to society. By the end of the film Maximus had risen to the top of Roman society once again to challenge the emperor’s successor in a fight to the death—which truly captured many of the themes our current society are built upon—where does power come from? Is it granted by the gods? Is it really in whom you know? Or does it come from an individual and their personal skills coupled with a daring approach to the problems which befall them? The answer is in the last offering, everything comes from within—and Donald Trump is a completely self-made man. The wealth and success he built came from his family and he has literally bent the will of those around him to achieve his objectives. It took him most of his life to figure out all the elements with the help of a loving wife—his third—but the person who ran for president is essentially a person who never stopped trying and bent the world to his will. People like that don’t have time for drug addictions and prescription medications—they self-regulate and they always have the answers because they worked hard to get them.

It is for those reasons that Trump will easily deal with Putin and every other world leader who will soon find themselves begging for the approval of the United States. The world has literally never seen anybody like Trump before on such a stage and no, Hollywood doesn’t understand. The media doesn’t either because they’ve been taught all their miserable lives that failures and weakness are admirable traits by the same people who are befuddled by Carrie Fisher’s death whose final claim to fame in order to sell her latest book was an affair with Harrison Ford on the set of the first Star Wars film when she was 19-years-old and still uncorrupted by drugs and bad living. I picked my career path not because it was easy, but because it was hard—because it was more important to me to be free to live my way all hours of the day than to take any direction from the society aristocrats who think freedoms should yield to terrestrial desires for ear rings on 50-year-old birthdays. And that is the big difference between Donald Trump and everyone else. Some people merely reflect the actions of others and they become actors, politicians, lawyers and media people. Others actually do things worth reflecting and that is what Donald Trump is. What you hear from those social aristocrats toward Donald Trump is not that they think he’s stupid—even though that’s what they say—it’s that they are so weak. They resent him because he’s everything they aren’t—but it is their future decedents—the giggling girls with pimples on their foreheads and the young males afraid of fire who will tell the stories of such modern heroes—only at a future time when history can forgive their insecurities. But not before then.

Believe me, Trump will dominate the world stage—easily. And the value of wealth building among the human race will increase proportionally. Mark it on your calendar. Hollywood and their media culture will never understand it because like the emperor from the movie Gladiator, they don’t get their power from within—but from whom they know. And that is the difference in life between success and failure—or depression and happiness.
