The Truth Behind Trump’s Extreme Vetting: Understanding who the enemy is–some of them were protesting

You can see the idiots responsible for the terrorist acts we’ve seen in America over the last couple of years by the protesters at the airports reacting to President Trump’s ban on immigrants from countries designated for extreme vetting—places like Syria, Iraq, Iran, Libya—all countries that have elements of Islamic terrorism running loose within them who have declared war on the United States.  President Trump is not obligated under the Constitution in any way to allow a transgender woman from Iran to achieve her dream of living in a free society.  We have a front door immigration process, which can sometimes take many years to achieve—but there is a process.  If they want to come to America, they have to take those steps and they will be welcomed. But if they plan to come to the states illegally, they have no rights, and if they are coming from a country that is at war with America, then they deserve—and should expect—to endure extra scrutiny.  Why is that so hard to understand?

Yet the protests over the weekend at American airports, particularly JFK in New York and Boston Logan led by none other than “Pocahontas” Warren the fingerprints of George Soros were easy to spot.  The global open border people created through the various Soros founded organizations couldn’t help but show their cards out in the open making it easy to see who in our society is who.  They attempted to make it look like the extreme vetting from risky countries was unfair, but in reality it’s a basic security practice.

I remember the lessons well that we should have learned after the Boston Marathon bombings.  The terrorist brothers in that case who conducted the bombings were radicalized overseas and were being tracked, but because of our open border trajectory in America, law enforcement was afraid to act on their suspicions which turned out to be detrimental.  We went through the same internal scrutiny with 9/11, there were risky people in our country learning to fly planes but not to land them from places like Saudi Arabia—and our inaction on security allowed them to commit an act of terror in New York City that killed many thousands of people.  As a byproduct we created the TSA and now every American who flies goes through undignified security measures as a reaction even though most of us are not even remotely thinking of committing any terrorist activity.  But the concern then and now was that we didn’t want people from the countries of the terrorists to feel like we were signaling them out. That certainly hasn’t been fair to the rest of Americans who travel and happen to be white people from Ohio.

We’re not all one world and we aren’t all one people.  We are Americans and if there are people who want to become “Americans” then there are rules to follow, and if they come from dangerous places—they should expect to be more scrutinized.  The seven countries listed in Donald Trump’s executive order were designated on current intelligence risks based on the conditions of the world today.  If countries need to be added, that would be determined by the evolution of terrorist activity around the world.  But we cannot allow terrorists to come to the United States and to run buses into our people on crowded city streets or to attack our infrastructure without taking proactive measures considering what has been going on in Europe which has been loose on vetting—and they’ve paid for it.

Donald Trump is working on a plan to eradicate ISIS from the face of the earth so in the coming months ISIS will be looking to strike back at our homeland, so before action can take place, we must secure our borders in ways that people have not seen in their lifetimes, because for some reason they were taught that such days were behind us.  Well, we are at war and have been for some time.  It’s not something that has happened under Trump.  He was elected to end these problems which were largely caused by people outside of our county.

The biggest threat to America has not been Russia wanting to manipulate our elections—it has been supporters of this borderless world concept using money funneled through our media—movies, music, magazines, television, etc., who have always had in their mind an eradication of American sovereignty.  It’s not a conspiracy theory to say that the Hungarian investor George Soros and many like him have been working as insurgents against the American way of life with a liberal sympathy that has always been clearly European.  They worked against all of us not with troops on the ground like was done in the traditional ways of conflict, instead they pour money into the liberalized Hollywood propaganda machine and many television producers hungry for funding for their projects take the money—so they bend their projects to the liberalism of Soros and his friends to get it.  The result is that MTV is no longer about music—it’s about advancing liberal platform concerns—open borders, transgender acceptance, and hatred of capitalism—the economic means of production in America.  That’s a known fact, nothing conspiratorial about it.

And that’s who was protesting at the airports in reaction to President Trump’s executive orders.  It wasn’t normal people; it was human drones created by the manipulation of foreign governments through liberal billionaire activists who put them there, just like the same was done with the communist women’s march in Washington D.C. last weekend.  Those protesters are the same type of knuckle dragging losers who do the work of the established order that has been committed to open borders around the world for decades, and their campaign is not one of compassion-but one of a military campaign to invoke financial collapse for the benefit of starting everything over under the United Nations equally—at American expense clearly.

In this last American election we turned away from that open border war with Donald Trump, and he is doing the job we sent him to do—which is to send our own version of a billionaire to protect the White House from the likes of George Soros.  The U.S. Constitution is not a treaty with the world and to join that club, there are methods, and many people do it, and they turn out to be some of America’s best and brightest—and they appreciate their citizenship because they had to work so hard to get it.  You can’t cheapen it by just letting people stop by and shack up with people then acquiring all the rights of American citizens without the work.  So the protesters are completely wrong in their assertions.  Additionally, they are aiding the enemy because they are standing in the way of our proper vetting of possible insurgents from war-torn countries who try to hide in the chaos of compassion to bring harm to us while we are pounding ISIS back into Stone Age where they belong.

America does the world a tremendous service just by existing.  When we destroy ISIS there are many people in those countries who will benefit.  And if they want to come to America to pursue the American Dream, then they are free to get in line like everyone else.  At least there is a line to get into.  But the open border people protesting at these airports against Trump are working on behalf of the enemy.  They aren’t acting out of compassion for the individuals stuck behind extreme vetting—they are acting to end American sovereignty by overloading the immigration system with people around the world fleeing war.  Remember—and again this isn’t a conspiracy—its actually notably part of what the Skull and Bones Society learns at Yale—war is what moves the world and the politics that controls it.  These wars around the war aren’t just because of differences of opinion, they are most of the time started to move people from one place to another like chess pieces.  Trump has put a stop to it and those playing against us don’t like it.  But that’s why we put Trump in the White House, and once he defeats ISIS—the people behind the wars will be exposed—and honestly, they are scared.  So they hide behind these mobs and blame everyone on compassion—but none of this is about any of that.  It’s about war, and we are at war in various degrees with the countries listed on Trump’s order.  And we have to act accordingly—which we are doing now.  Better late than never—and elections have consequences. This method is far more peaceful than where we were headed with just a few more months of Obama’s open border policies.  So consider what’s happening now to be the most humane option available.

America is at War with Terrorism: The countries under executive order are those connected to the hostile organizations–don’t forget that

The key to understanding Trump’s immigration executive order was to listen to Kellyanne Conway’s appearance on Fox New with Chris Wallace.  The last part of the interview she really lit up and the villains of America’s restoration toward sanity were wonderfully illustrated.  The “extreme vetting” at this particular time wasn’t just to fix the loose polices of the past—it is to protect us from military activity that is ongoing at this very moment in those mentioned countries and keeping retaliation from sneaking in as a method of revenge.  It’s a proactive measure on the road to eliminating ISIS.  As to the resistance of mainstream politicians, I’ll have a lot more to say about that later.  They are beginning to gas out in Trump’s wake and starting to drag ass.  But what’s important here is what the immigration order means and to understand its timing.

Standing by the Very Good Man, Bruce Jones: Activist women hide behind their gender for political gain

It was disgusting to watch the activist women of West Chester—the same braless bitches and hippie chick levy supporters with my own patented phrase–asses the size of car tires and diamond rings to match—how they came out against the very good man Bruce Jones, the fiscal officer in West Chester for the Board of Trustees.  They do not represent all women, just as the idiots who marched in Washington D.C. over the weekend, and many other progressive cities around the world under the financial backing of George Soros.  They don’t represent normal American people.  It was despicable to see the way they pounced on Bruce Jones and how the media in lock step with them jumped on the band wagon siding with the Democratic Party of Butler County (all two of them) to attempt to silence the speech of a grown man—and seek openly to destroy him professionally and publicly.

I know how Bruce feels—I’ve had the same idiots come after me for similar reasons.  The progressive Democrats in Butler County can’t win on their merit so they have to try to tear down people they see as a challenge.  Even worse, Trustee Lee Wong fanned the flames demanding that Bruce apologize to these obvious leftist radicals who aligned themselves with the likes of Madonna threatening to blow up the White House with her thoughts, and the complete lunatic Ashley Judd.  And Channel 5, 9 and most of the major newspapers in town piled on with the blood lust of zombie fanatics that would have made the Walking Dead proud.  What was Bruce’s crime against these goofy unchained lunatic women hiding their radicalism behind their gender as a shield protecting them from retaliation?  Well, look below for the Facebook exchanges and read for yourself what got Bruce in so much trouble.bruce-jones-2

When you read what was said to Bruce and how he defended himself the hypocrisy is quite obvious.  Many men are really getting sick of being condemned because they possess testosterone habits and happen to be “white,” and god forbid if they have sizable bank accounts—because in the world of these leftist lunatics such a person is the devil himself.  Bruce was getting sick of being called names just because he exists—the marchers he referred to didn’t just attack Donald Trump—they were attacking masculinity itself.  I know I’m sick of it—I have been for a long time.  And we are told by all these media outlets that we’re just supposed to sit down and shut up while these fat-assed idiots belittle our president whom we worked very hard to get into office to fix all the mistakes they helped create over several decades.  And we are supposed to take it and not fight back in the least.  Yet when we do fight back and treat them equally, the same way we would a man—they play the woman card and hide behind their progressive press like a bunch of cowards—the same way those same women hide behind their children when it’s time for a school levy or a charity event.  I call those types of people latté sipping prostitutes because they sell themselves for a latté in their social circles and have no value for who does what in the real world to start businesses and produce wealth.  They are what is called in the philosophy of Objectivism “second handers” because they leech off the lives of other people for everything in their lives.  And in the case of these particular liberal activists, they hide their neurosis behind the collectivism of womanhood and use progressive politics as a shield against judgment.

This is precisely why I’m not in any kind of elected office, so that I can have the freedom to tell these idiots what a bunch of parasites they are.  If a bunch of women can dress themselves up as vaginas and protest Donald Trump with great fanfare, then they can suffer the ramifications of judgment—because if they really want equality then they can get it right back when they make assess of themselves.  And people like Bruce don’t have to shut their mouths just because the activists are women.  If Bruce thinks the activist are a bunch of insane lunatics—he has a right to say it—because the latté sipping prostitutes certainly don’t hold back their opinions when it comes to men.  And that is something that will change because intolerance works both ways—and radical, leftist, lunatic, latte sipping prostitute, levy supporting women, can’t have it both ways.

Here’s what’s going on, it’s an election year in West Chester and liberal activists are looking for any excuse possible to tear down the strong Republican coalition that exists among the West Chester trustees, Lee Wong excluded.  So progressives assisted by the mainstream media are doing precisely what is happening to Donald Trump nationally, and they are trying anything to be relevant again.  Lee is dreaming of the days when he and Cathy Stoker ran the trustees in West Chester with a liberal fist.  Bruce ran unopposed in the last election and Democrats are hoping to inspire someone to challenge him in the next election.  But what Bruce will learn is what I did years ago when I went through the same thing for much the same reason–that men and women both will thank him at gas pumps, restaurants and stores for holding his ground against these progressive assaults.  Because that’s all that is going on–and you can tell who the enemy is by who came out against him.  He didn’t do anything wrong.  But a lot of people did wrong to him.

Just for the class to understand this is a woman:

These are radical leftist women using their gender as a weapon:

Women need to be celebrated.  Crazy lunatics need to be criticized heavily.

The West Chester Trustee Meeting of January 24th: Pussies and Snowflakes fall, melt and fade away in just two weeks

As reported, the January 10th Trustee meeting in West Chester where right-to-work proposals were put on the table for discussion turned into a circus as the left leaning socialists in labor unions showed up to protest and Lee Wong made a severe ass of himself with his progressive activism in not closing the meeting because it was out of control.  Two weeks later the world had changed significantly, Donald Trump was inaugurated as president which reset the clock of priorities down the ranks of the Republican Party and many who made assess of themselves during the 10th meeting wanted a chance to show up and articulate themselves better after learning of how foolish they had sounded before.  That set the stage for something which even better illustrated why collective bargaining and unions in general are detrimental to a productive community and a severe hindrance to capitalist enterprise.  Here’s why.

The meeting opened up with the trustees celebrating the police for obvious reasons—but once the meeting went to citizen comments the synopsis of the entire evening was that everyone was a hero—as proposed by the union workers speaking against the right-to-work proposal—and that collective bargaining was the only way to get safety and a good wage in a productive society. It was difficult to watch because the people speaking as well-intentioned as they might have thought they were, just weren’t very smart.  It is sad to see so many grown adults so ignorant on basic economic principles.  Many of them because of their union memberships have had no reason to learn anything over the years.  Their entire life has been essentially hiding in a collective blob where they are assessed by value completely on their radicalized threat of a strike against management which has garnered them enough money to scrape through life from one television program to the next.  It was sad to see so many people who were so treacherously stupid.  But that is their choice—until they ask other people to fund their stupidity.

The word “worker” was used a lot as if collective bargaining was a “worker right” granted from birth. That term as they used it in their union dialogue was defined as such by Karl Marx—it is a phrase advanced by communism, Marxism, and socialism in the same way that Objectivism has been defined by Ayn Ran.  The “worker” as unions use the term, is a tool of extortion that uses “mass collections of people” to invoke fear in “management” to extract rights and wages.  The “worker” under Marxism is nothing more than a terrorist who uses force to extract their negotiated level of fairness.  For instance, the “workers” who represented union interests at the West Chester meeting were not there to tell their story and appeal to the sensibilities of the trustees—they were there to scare the politicians into acting on their behalf by a show of force packing the meeting with as many people in seats as possible.  It was the same George Soros tactic used on the Mall in Washington D.C. with the women’s march that Bruce Jones commented about on his Facebook account which became a point of contention during the same West Chester Trustee meeting. The union members were more polite this time than they had been two weeks prior but their philosophy of collectivism was just as ridiculously apparent.

What the term “worker” means in a capitalist society is measured in value by the equitable amount of work produced. Without work a worker has no value—they are just a person living their individual life.  But when they are designated as a “worker” their value is directly defined by the productive output of their role in that capacity.  A “worker” who sits five hours out of a ten-hour day doing very little is not as valuable as a person who works hard minute by minute over that entire ten-hour period.  So some workers have more value than others—all workers are not equal.  Some are better than others and in the marketplace those who work harder and better than others are rewarded through merit pay.

In the socialist system of the unions there is no reward for being better than another person as a worker so there is no reason to excel at the task which limits the amount of productive output a collection of workers can produce.   Therefor the productive output per capita is much less than the productive output in a merit based system.  When competition is stripped away what is left behind is desire to be better leaving productive output lacking.  From the socialist worker’s point of view this is a good thing because it means a company has to hire more workers to do work—but from the business owners point of view this is detrimental—because it drives up their overhead without giving them productive output to justify the risk they carry employing people. The union people at the West Chester meeting have no idea about these kinds of things because they have been taught incorrectly all their lives to believe something that was essentially a Marxist idea taught in our public education system and they are all too old now to learn something different—so they are at a loss to understand even basic economics—and that was very sad.

Meanwhile another subtle undercurrent that was very Marxist showed itself in all the speeches of the night were everyone told their little stories of how they are living dangerous lives and had things happen them that tested their faith in other people—most notably from Trustee Lee Wong. His essential message capped off the night with a perfect summary articulated by the union workers—that social media was bad because it challenged the status quo of the orthodox learning they had all built their lives around. He essentially got his ass kicked in Chicago as a young man, was institutionalized in the military for 20 years, and now serves as a trustee with a history of unsaid socialism behind him which he thinks is patriotism.  His philosophy of all people are equal and that everyone needs each other was a learned trait that he has never challenged.  For him as a weakened young lad beat up by bullies in Chicago a drill sergeant was his savior—who stripped away his individuality so that he’d be a good soldier who would die for his country the way all soldiers are taught.  But Lee started off with is ego already destroyed so after his service years there wasn’t much left of the childhood version of himself who used the pronoun “I.” Now as a West Chester trustee he’s left with that broken image which like many people, he seals with collectivist philosophies and hides behind words like “equality,” fairness,” and a call to “civility.”

Lee likely thinks he’s a conservative, but compared to what? Many of the union speakers at the West Chester meeting think also of themselves as conservatives but their essential philosophies about politics were formed around European Marxism and modern-day progressive socialism.  Regardless of their personal ideologies over just two weeks the Republican strategy toward the midterms and eventual 2020 election had changed and the new leader of the party, Donald J. Trump is looking to further smash down the Democratic Blue Wall and union members are part of that platform.  A lot changed over two weeks.  Unions are not the focus of Republican politics as more direct economic matters take the stage for now.  So by the end of the meeting there was a lot more hand holding and campfire singing than I’m comfortable with but it’s important to really understand what’s going on.

Trustee Lee Wong brought up during his little speech a recent report from a Cincinnati beauty salon that Nazi propaganda showed up mysteriously on their printer—and nobody knows where the information came from. I questioned the Channel 5 reporter about the validity of the information and he did get an IT guy on camera to justify why they couldn’t figure out what IP address the information came from.  I have serious doubts that the Nazi letter celebrating Trump’s inauguration came from anybody who supported Trump but likely came from some radical who supported the woman’s march in Washington D.C., or one of the union radicals speaking in West Chester.  We’ve seen their playbook and it is like them to plant false evidence to formulate public opinions.  The timing of the letter is very suspect and if they really wanted to, they could find out who sent it.  Likely they already know, but that didn’t stop Lee from expounding on it to serve the purpose of bringing peace to the West Chester Trustee meeting which he helped to stir up just two weeks ago.  People who spoke against right-to-work in West Chester are the types of people who don’t like that social media competes with media outlets which support their Marxist foundations of thought—so they seek every opportunity to eliminate the kind of division and anxiety that created Donald Trump—because it’s the only way they can survive.

But I can say this, social media is here to stay and as I look out across this chess board at the appeals from those who are political left of me—the check-mate is already obvious. And what created that situation isn’t going to change.  So with all the appeals for peace now that the political left is on the outside looking in—the death blow for the Democratic Party and all the GOP RINOs who entertain with great reverence a return to the good old days of back scratching and boot licking (John McCain, John Kasich, and Lee Wong) are over.  And in spite of what any of these people do, my foot won’t come off the neck of Marxism. Because I hate it in all its forms and I’ll use all forms of communication to eradicate it from the earth.  Peace is for the pussies (as they called themselves) of George Soros media connections.   Lee Wong can join them all he wants with his liberal union friends.  But their version of the world is what caused all the trouble we have to fix now—and I am happy to see their march toward extinction—by their own actions.  To make peace with such people is to open your front door and advertise your residence as a brothel—because the people crying for civility now, and lack of divisions, are the very people who caused all the trouble to begin with—and that won’t be forgotten with appeasement now.  And when they come in your door expecting a brothel you know what they really want—and that isn’t good for the conservative movement to let them have it.  It’s called getting F**ked, and we’ve had enough of that.  Time to enjoy the spoils of victory and for them to rethink their entire lives.

Donald J. Trump: The Hardest Working Man to Ever Hit Washington D.C.

In case there are people who haven’t figured it out yet, Donald Trump often puts out controversial comments—such as talking about the number of illegal immigrants who voted against him in the popular vote—or discussing that he will send the feds to Chicago if they don’t get their homicide rate down—when he’s really about to do some big thing such as launch construction of the Keystone Pipeline or committing resources to building the border wall between Mexico and the United States, as he did today. He is the absolute opposite of Obama who used to say nice things in public then do bad things behind the scenes with sinister intentions.  Donald Trump says crazy things in public getting everyone to discuss those adolescent topics in a frenzy as he does very carefully planned strategic activity behind the scenes.  What has resulted, and what we can expect going forward, is fury of executive activity that will put to shame any previous president.  What we have now is a president whose primary hobby is working and he’s in a dream land of his own making—he’s retired from private sector life, he has infinite resources to work with virtually, and he literally has a pile of work to do that will never run out. While the press is still stuck on things Trump might have said three days ago or three weeks ago, they miss the details of the latest big action he is now taking daily and not even a multi-station 24 hour a day news cycle can keep up with him.  The Trump administration is running circles around the media and the established politicians and there is absolutely no sign of slowing down.  And Trump is just getting a feel for the job.

I was surprised to learn that I played during 2016 on the Playstation 4 game system 784 hours’ worth of gaming—344 alone on the popular Star Wars game Battlefront. I also read several books in 2016, played with my grandkids a lot—binge watched many Netflix series with my wife—traveled—worked with my many hobbies which included Cowboy Fast Draw.  I didn’t think I played Playstation so much, but as you can see the hours do add up.  The reason all that is remarkable is that I work an average of 12 hours professionally every day, sometimes even on the weekends—and I do quite a lot of work from home.  I’m a very busy person and I squeeze out of every day as much as possible.  I don’t sleep much.  On weekends for instance I get up around 4:30 AM to start my day and I usually don’t go to bed until around 11 PM or even midnight.

I point all that out because honestly I love to work—and I love to play—and my days are full and I get a lot done. With Donald Trump I don’t think he has many hobbies—I don’t think he plays Playstation—or reads many books—but I think he loves to work and is willing to do it 18 to 19 hours a day which adds up to a lot of productive endeavor.  I also think that in the private sector he got bored a lot.  His company started jobs and finished jobs and in between there were things to do, approve and scrutinize plans, zoning problems and other issues.  Occasionally he would be able to attend court and sue somebody or defend a lawsuit against him—but after 30 years of this ebb and flow he was looking for the ultimate challenge since he had mastered all that other stuff—and something where the workload never diminished.  So he ran for president.

Now Donald Trump is in a dream job, he has a good office to work from, resources where the American people have assumed the risk, and he can do what he loves to do most—his ultimate hobby—making deals each hour on the hour if he wants to—and the work never goes away. While some men of 70 might retire to the basement to work on model trains or build ships inside a bottle—Trump just wants to make deals because that is his hobby and it just so happens that being president of the United States requires lots of deal making.  So he’s very happy and truly in his element perhaps for the first time in his life—and he’s done pretty well up to this point.

So here Donald Trump is with a pile of work to do and seven days a week, 24 hours a day to do it, and he’s looking across his desk already in the Oval Office and he sees politicians like Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer winded by the increased activity—and he knows how to play this game with all the joy of a young boy. Only this work needs to be done on behalf of the American people.  He is quite literally catching America up on over 200 years of neglect.  So everyone is happy except for the people who got into politics to have an easy job.

I would dare say that most elected representatives on Capitol Hill only do about 5 hours of work per day and the same holds true for their various staffs. Even with the interns who do most of the bill reading, there are lots of opportunities for leisure, so there are many lost production hours each week that go unfulfilled in Washington D.C.  By the time they arrive at their offices—get their coffee—read a few emails—have a few meetings then take an hour or more for lunch, then return to their offices for whatever they have planned in the afternoon—5 PM comes quickly and everyone goes home uneventfully only to return the next day to do it all over again.  They get used to things taking a long time in Washington D.C. because nobody really expects to ever do anything.  But Trump isn’t like that.  He expects to accomplish things and he expects to do new things the next day.

It will be very interesting to watch how long the media and the politicians will try to keep up with Donald J. Trump. This horse race just started and Trump is already pulling way out in front and he continues to throw things back at his boot lickers and social parasites to divert their attention away to easily digestible topics suited for their limited intellect while he works on his infinite pile of blissful work unencumbered by their lack of understanding.  It is neat to watch for a lot of reasons.  It’s nice to see a president who truly loves to work for one—but it’s nice to see that pile that’s been sitting there for decades of things that needed to be done actually getting attention.  There is no way to know what happens next—but at least work is happening—and that’s always a good thing for a productive country full of people in need of that necessity for output.

State of the Union within Butler County, Ohio: Playing the right chess game

I talk to a lot of people over the course of a week, and if I went to everything I was invited to I’d never have time for everything if I even tried. But because of the festivities of last week, I did make an exception which put me in contact with several people I haven’t spoken to for quite a while so this is a kind of the “state of the union” within the Lakota school district and Butler County politics in general and what comes next as Donald Trump moves into his first week as president of the United States.  My purpose is to keep it general because that’s all that’s necessary—as I don’t want to put people on the spot after they’ve shared some good food and a few drinks with me—because the details are what’s important.

I will say that the current Vice President and the President of the Lakota School Board told me directly that they have no intention of putting a tax increase on the ballot until the 2022 time-frame which sounded good to me. They were very proud of a union contract they just signed where they were able to balance the books somewhat surprisingly–so they deserve some credit—both the union and the school board.  That kind of thing makes me happy with all sides involved.  Just because the union worked with the school board for a change at Lakota—it doesn’t make me like labor unions any more—but it makes me hate them less—which is a good thing.  As long as they aren’t asking for more money and are striving to educate kids properly, I can support Lakota schools in the role they play as a public school—people use the service and get what they get.  It was nice to get along with members of the Lakota School Board for a change—and it was nice to see that they have come a long way over the last decade from what they were.  Hopefully that trend continues and they won’t overpay for the next Superintendent—because they are looking for one now.  (Hint, bring Spurlock back for a fraction of the cost—or someone of that caliber.)

As I listened to all the education talk I couldn’t help but think that Betsy Devos from the Trump administration will have an impact on how education is funded, how strong the unions are in public education, and what the emphasis will be—so by 2022 education will be a very different place in America and I suspect by the current trend line that it will be better—and cheaper. The per pupil cost now is just too expensive for what we are getting and that is likely to change dramatically under Betsy at the federal level.  She’s an education activists with access to deep pockets and a president who supports her—so there isn’t any reason she won’t be somewhat successful, and if she gets just a little of what she wants education will be changed forever—for the better.

The other thing is the Margy Conditt seat that is coming up and I won’t mention the names, but they know who they are. As conservatives and Tea Party people, if everyone were as perfect as one mind playing chess with many enemies who were vanquished over the last 7 years, these same people would do well not to get cocky and think that that coalition will hold up under the strain of competition.  I would move my rook into the governorship by the mid 2020s and I’d keep my queen on the inside for an election term and discover how things change under Trump then I’d move her against the opposition at that time.  Remember—in chess—rooks move in straight lines.  They cannot move diagonally, so use them wisely.  Also remember, queens in chess are most effective when they are in the center of the board.  So put them there so that more moves are available depending on what the enemy does.  But if the chess pieces change sides and work against each other then the entire game changes and that isn’t a predictable outcome.  The best thing to do is for these various chess pieces to continue doing what they have for the last several years and support each other for the obvious checkmate that is inevitable against the radicalized left.

Now to those within Southern Ohio that were nice enough to extend nice offers to the Trump Inauguration. I appreciated it, but my wife and I didn’t go because honestly, unless I could get a seat in the VIP area, I wasn’t about to meander away in the crowd where even Diamond and Silk had to watch from the pit.  They stayed at the Trump International Hotel, but were in the pit with everyone else which looked great for the cameras, but that’s not me.  My wife is kind of a girlie girl and proud of it, and I don’t put her in circumstances where conflict with anarchists might become a problem.  I have no problem dealing with those kind of losers, but I don’t put my wife in those circumstances—so we stayed home for the inauguration.  I enjoyed the festivities of the inauguration from my home county and that was enough for me.  I’m sure I wasn’t the only one, but even so, there were a lot of people at the inauguration and that was impressive.  Since I wasn’t at the balls talking to some of the national people directly I’d say this to them, be cool.  The political left has already lost.  They showed their ass on Saturday and the more they do things like that, the more mainstream Americans will turn away from them.  If Trump continues to show a quality side of himself as an administration keeping the bar high in every regard the political left will wither away like a flower after the first frost of autumn.

Yet even with these obvious victories well in hand, if we change our approach and start getting defensive, or allow ourselves to be divided in any way—the gains we’ve made will swing back in the other direction. So if everyone wants to keep the victories going, keep doing what you’ve been doing.  Work with the people you have and stay on target.  Forget about making politics a career and don’t look to it for personal enhancement in any way.  Let the chess pieces do what they are good at and spend the energy in the proper direction.

This is all just some friendly advice. We are looking at for the first time in American history a new day in politics and the philosophies that follow—and to keep that momentum, we shouldn’t take our foot off the petal in any way.  Good things do happen when the chess game is played properly, even if the people you’re playing against don’t know what game they are playing—is it “tick, tack, toe,” or a crossword puzzle.  Let them think what they want so long as we move the bishops in the right direction while protecting the queen so that the king splits that tactical objective and divides the forces of the other side.  You have to play the game you’re good at so that the right strategy gets implemented—and that is what we should all do going into these next few months and years.  And the first step is in playing the game the way we have.  Why change perfection?

What Women Really Protested on January 21st: Understanding the River Liffy

As I watched carefully Ashley Judd’s maniacal meltdown at the Washington Mall on January 21, 2017, and listened to Madonna discuss to the world that she had been thinking about blowing up the White House, then watched all the footage coming in from the half million participants not only in Washington D.C. but also in L.A., Denver, New York, London and Paris—as well as many other progressive cities I thought of the River Liffy in Dublin Ireland.  One of my favorite authors, James Joyce dealt with what ails those protesters of Donald Trump very well in the classic novel, Finnegan’s Wake.  In the country the River Liffy is small, clean and inviting—like the youth of a woman.  By the time that river gets to the city of Dublin however it is wide, and dirty as everyone upstream had let their garbage be captured by the water’s flow. The next destination is the open sea where the water’s contents spill into the immense collectivism of the ocean only to be evaporated back to heaven to someday rain down back across Ireland to begin the process again.  That Ashley Judd is not the same woman who appeared nude in several movies, namely Bug, Norma Jean & Marilyn, and Normal Life.  That Madonna was not the same singing sensation who had masturbated on stage during her concerts, flashed her breasts to the crowd and earned her money as an 80s sex symbol.  Those were the acts of much younger River Liffy’s well upstream before they were dirtied up by their rough lives lived only to be middle-aged rejects which nobody was any longer interested in.  The world and the men in it was ready for that dirty water to be recycled back into the ocean as their eyes wander upstream to the clear water of a young River Liffy not yet contaminated by the touches of mankind—and all the world dreams of being the first to drink from her waters.

There was sheer panic the day after Trump’s inauguration as the 45th president of the United States and the world watched in horror not just what the new president said and did—but how well his wife Melania conducted herself and the other Trump women, the wives of Don Jr. Eric, and of course the two Donald Trump daughters Ivanka and Tiffany.  These young women are not Paris Hilton train wrecks who threw themselves at every party available and for which many men have naked cell phone pictures of which they pass around like baseball cards when they were kids.  These were good young ladies and very beautiful.  And they are smart, conduct themselves like a river that was able to avoid the big cities and all their garbage.  If you really peeled back the protests around the world toward Donald Trump the most anger was toward a name never even spoken—to the new First Lady Melania Trump.  Why did she have to be so beautiful, so flawless, and so fortunate?  Why did she have to be so perfect?  Melania walked all day up and down steps during the inauguration in high heels and she never looked like she was in pain.  When she walked the parade route she was in the same shoes she had worn all day and she never looked like a fatigued person in any way.  She walked like she had learned to do on a catwalk in Paris when she had been a young fashion model.  She moved her hips evenly, her right hand crossed just enough across her body then back again like the arm of a grandfather clock finely tuned—evenly and with great grace.  While women everywhere should have been proud to see such a wonderful woman enter the White House progressives who have ruined their bodies over the years with hard living and let the garbage of collectivism dirty up their lives howled in rage at their lack of ability to live up to the lofty image Melania set during the inauguration ceremonies in Washington D.C. on January 20th.

A new standard was being set from the American White House and women as far away as Sydney and London were voicing their opinions.  This wasn’t what they were told was going to happen as they got older and learned that the world likes to drink from the waters of rivers—upstream.  Melania Trump in her life had found a way to avoid the garbage people normally throw into a river as it flows through their towns and cities dumping all their waste into its water’s.  Progressive women thought they were going to be safe as they sometimes dirtied their own waters recklessly as young women jumping into every town and let every young lad piss into her as they saw fit as they laughed like idiots along the way thinking themselves rebels—because the progressive world promised them some kind of filtration plant once they hit the city—a lowered bar of expectation—that people would still want to swim in their waters as they neared the sea—or their last stop in life through Dublin.  (Metaphorically speaking of course)  But that’s not what happened—Melania Trump is now the new first lady not just in America but for the world and the bar went up leaving these people who have managed their lives poorly to be alone with their bad decisions.

Behind the progressive desire to reduce the grip toxic masculinity has on the world—which is now taught on college campuses these days—is their hatred of this cycle of rivers and women in the world.  Women don’t want to live in fear as they get older and their men no longer want to have sex with them—and year by year they find themselves more and more alone as their husbands look to the younger waters of the River Liffy—where the mistakes of their married lives are not yet being carried downstream—where a man can look into those clear waters and see the bottom—through a reflection of themselves.  Since Melania Trump married Donald she did not run around the New York social scene looking to interact with every dirty mind she could—she was content to sit atop Trump Tower with her son Barron and live quietly with her husband—and they lived clean lives without alcohol, smoking, or hard living—and it shows on her face.  She’s done that for over ten years from her mid thirties to now her mid forties and the effects have been stunning, and the world noticed.

Progressive—communist activists like Michael Moore were quick to pat themselves on the back and say—see—we have more people who want to stand against Donald Trump than were willing to stand with him on Inauguration Day.  The world made itself heard and they would not stand for Donald Trump.  He was on notice.  Progressives even fantasized that what they had witnessed during the worldwide “women’s march” was more powerful than the Tea Party which launched the Donald Trump presidency in the first place.  They thought—“wonderful, now we know we can take back the White House in 2020.”  But all of those people were wrong.  Because by then the world will be a very different place—and it won’t be the antics of Donald Trump as much as it will be the women he surrounds himself with.  You see, President Trump is likely the most openly appreciative Republican to ever hold office of women.  He loves to see women do well.  And doing well doesn’t mean you have to be a fashion model.  It is possible to look in the mirror and see an elephant’s ass, and still be successful if you have a personality which compliments your essence. However, men do look at a woman and can see what radiates from the soul through physical features.  If a woman is ugly inside, all the makeup in the world can’t save her and progressives have attempted to attack these very human foundations of personal assessment by becoming hippie braless bitches who wear their dirty water like a badge of honor then yell at the world not to judge them.  Well—it doesn’t work.

Melania Trump is proof that older women don’t have to look like the dirty water of the River Liffy as it passes through Dublin.  They don’t have to be gorgeous on the outside so much as they need to have it going on the inside.  But the Trump women in general have all the cylinders clicking in unison and millions of young girls will look to this Trump White House for the kind of inspiration that progressives have been trying to destroy for years—the judgment of those Rivers Liffy who have seen it all and done it all, and are rejected as dirty water at the end of their lives.   To the typical progressive they never take responsibility for their own actions—so they continue to make the same mistakes over and over again.  But the fault is their own—and now there is a high bar they have to measure themselves against—and they don’t like it.

They can be mad at Donald Trump but honestly this is part of Making American Great Again.  Our women are our foundations—they are our girlfriends, our wives—our mothers and before we can be a healthy nation once again—our women have to get their act together and stop acting like Ashley Judd and Madonna during their youth—making themselves dirty, and scummy later in life.  Progressive activists of the women type have to learn that they can’t hide their bad behavior behind the collectivism of a social movement then turn their weapons of a big mouth toward the inclinations of manhood for justice.  They just need to take care of themselves in mind and body and nurture the world to its gradual health—instead of bitching like a bunch of losers who are just too lazy to try to be as good as the wonderful women who are now part of the White House culture.

The Most Positive Inauguration Speech Ever: Uno’s, Trump, and doing things “My Way”

I normally don’t do it.  The writer in me likes to soak up environments and their circumstances from a distance—the human interaction with other like minded people isn’t necessary for me.  But I did find a lot of joy in seeing people at the Uno’s celebration in West Chester, Ohio for president Trump on Friday night as the parade from the capitol to the White House transpired just hours after Donald Trump was sworn in as the new president of the United States.  I had been through a lot with the people at that event and it was nice to see them under the best possible circumstances.  We all didn’t get along in the past but the Trump election certainly unified us under the umbrella of this cause.  We were all relieved and it showed.

But, one thing that came up a lot in talking with them at this party—smart people who normally catch everything—was that they were disgusted at the way the media portrayed Trump’s inauguration speech.  I thought it was a great speech as I heard him say some things that rivaled what JFK had said so I was mystified why there was so much negative reaction by the press and the supporters who were defensive about their new president.  My opinion of Trump’s speech was that it was short, he was nervous, distracted by the rain, and the four former presidents staring holes through is back sitting right behind him because they certainly didn’t like what he was saying—because they had caused much of it.  But Trump did what he does—he’s not afraid of anything and he ground through it eloquently boldly proclaiming that he was returning government back to the people who elected him—then he said this—word for word:

Finally, we must think big and dream even bigger.

In America, we understand that a nation is only living as long as it is striving.

We will no longer accept politicians who are all talk and no action – constantly complaining but never doing anything about it.

The time for empty talk is over.

Now arrives the hour of action.

Do not let anyone tell you it cannot be done.  No challenge can match the heart and fight and spirit of America.

We will not fail. Our country will thrive and prosper again.

We stand at the birth of a new millennium, ready to unlock the mysteries of space, to free the Earth from the miseries of disease, and to harness the energies, industries and technologies of tomorrow.

A new national pride will stir our souls, lift our sights and heal our divisions.

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2017/01/20/his-own-words-president-trumps-inaugural-address/96836330/image2-2

That is one of the most positive speeches I can ever remember hearing from a president of the United States—“ready to unlock the mysteries of space, to free the Earth from the miseries of disease, and to harness the energies, industries and technologies of tomorrow”—there is nothing negative about any of that.  Actually, if the media reported the speech correctly, that would have been their takeaway—that would have been the theme of the entire day. That is certainly one of the reasons I voted for him.image3-1

Let’s make it clear, what we want for a president, because obviously there are a lot of people out there radicalized by public education and a political class that wanted to be like Europe for way too long, is a naturally positive person who works hard.  Recognizing LGBT rights, or the ability to kill a baby in an abortion, or rolling in the mud of racism and slavery for which we inherited from our English heritage—and corrected by the mechanisms of our republic under the careful guidance of Abraham Lincoln—are not positive topics to tackle as the leading country of personal freedom throughout the world.  The political left likes those topics because they distract us from the real objectives meant to be unlocked through capitalism.  The political left desires global communism and interconnected trade so that the power of American capitalism can suffocate under the pressure of their radical ideology of collectivism dumbing down the human race to the laziest, and most lack luster in ambition.  People like me who voted for Trump want to move on to bigger and better things.  I don’t want America encumbered by bad management around the world.  Before America can be the land of the free—it has to be free of the burden of saving the world from its own stupidity.  If the world wants to improve, then they can watch us and get on board with a philosophy that’s conducive to tomorrow—and they need to throw out their stupid books by Karl Marx.  That guy was a failure and anybody who follows his words will end up failures also—like the 100 or so thugs running around Washington D.C. breaking windows and throwing rocks at police hoping to stop the Trump presidency.image1-5

Clearly at the balls later that night as Trump danced with his wife in front of the crowds—which was a tradition, it was obvious that America was moving on.  Once Pence and the entire Trump family came out to join the president and the First Lady on the dance floor a philosophic shift had taken place.  After all the talk about what liberal designer would “dress” Melania Trump everything flew out the window.  Ralph Lauren stepped up to the plate and sealed himself as the prime designer that he has always been.  But liberal newcomers who might have challenged him lost out on an opportunity to get noticed—because Melania Trump could wear tin foil and make it look like the greatest thing ever created.  The political left can drag ass themselves hoping to keep the world in the realm of global communism—but America is leaving the station and whoever is not on it—will get left behind.  That was the message of the entire day.

There is a lot I personally identify with Trump on.  Like my family said during the inauguration ceremonies, he’s my doppelganger only in an older form under different circumstances.  So I can say with quite a lot of accuracy what president Trump is up to and what he’s going to do next.  I noticed the little things because honestly I’d do many of the same things. For instance at the lunch where members of the house and senate were toasting Trump as the new president, he just sat there like a kid embarrassed that everyone was singing Happy Birthday to him.  He obviously felt awkward and he didn’t know he was expected to speak afterwards.  They had to coax him up to the podium where he stumbled around for a few seconds before getting into the grove of it and making use of the occasion.  Then, after that he signed some executive orders.  Around the table were Republican and Democratic leaders—namely Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer whom Trump had just called a clown weeks before.  Each of those supposed leaders stood around the table waiting for Trump to hand them the pin he signed each document with so they could have it as a souvenir acting like teenage girls backstage at a rock concert.  The occasion again made Trump feel awkward until he realized the strategic importance of the moment.

He smiled and handed the first pin to Nancy Pelosi the way any good salesman would recognize a situation like that—as a leverage point for later.  Trump’s face said it all—defeating these people on Capitol Hill was going to be easy for him because many had already lost. They’d say one thing in public for the CNN cameras—but one on one with Trump—they’d melt like butter micro waved for 2 minutes.  The real meat and potatoes regarding Trump is his work ethic.  After the parade he went right to work and I have no doubt he’ll spend all day Saturday and Sunday getting ready for Monday—and Capitol Hill won’t know what to do with the first week of a Trump presidency.  If people were surprised that he had the guts to make his inauguration speech one about populism, and nationalism freeing America from the bondage of negative relationships with other countries—they really won’t know what to do with his restless work ethic.  Some people love to work, and Trump is one of those people.

I caught some other little things about Trump while I watched him dance that first dance with Melania to the song “My Way” which didn’t surprise me at all—I might have picked the same song.  I watched Trump actually sing some of the words with the passion of a 9-year-old kid—which to me was not at all a negative.  This is Trump’s last act in life before his own curtain closes and he knows it and he intends to make a splash.  His wife knows it.  His kids know it. And soon the rest of the world will learn what having a Trump present in the White House means who seldom sleeps, isn’t afraid of anything, and who is curious about everything—when he says — America is “ready to unlock the mysteries of space, to free the Earth from the miseries of disease, and to harness the energies, industries and technologies of tomorrow”—he means it.  Before that final curtain closes on Trump’s life he’s going to do things his way and present it as a gift to America and the rest of the world if they want it.  Trump’s life has always been about fireworks and now we get to see the finale, and before it’s done we’ll see something that will stun us and leave the world speechless in a positive way possibly for the first time ever.

It was a good day!

Hello, My Name is Human: Taking out the trash on Inauguration Day

It was literally trash day on my street today and I couldn’t help but think of that metaphor as Donald Trump was inaugurated as the 45 president of the United States.  As good as the ceremonies were, the best thing for me was seeing Barack Obama whist away into the oblivion of the trash dump removed from the White House and left valueless with only his title as a former president remaining—which for him will soon be meaningless like a lot of the trash I put at the end of my driveway each week. It has been a good day as before the ceremonies even started we received these very nice inauguration glasses in the mail which we used during the swearing-in.  Additionally my wife special ordered her favorite candy in the world, Divinity from Gatlinburg, Tennessee shipped to us just for this occasion to enjoy throughout the day.  One of my daughters was able to come over to watch the main events as my wife and I ended the day at Uno’s in West Chester with friends and people who had been in the trenches with us for many years.  The overall feeling about everything had that refreshing feeling you get when you take out the trash allowing you to separate from things you don’t want in your house—and Barack Obama for at least six years was one of those items I was so very happy to see put to the curb.inauguration

As I watched the events of the day I couldn’t help but think I was witnessing the physical manifestation of the song by Highly Suspect called “Hello, My Name is Human.”  As Trump took the oath I kept hearing the lines, “I’m up off my knees, girl–I’m face to face with myself–I stole my power from the sun—I am more than just a man.”  I do like that song!  A lot.  But particularly that third part of it where the narrative had eclipsed the terrestrial limits of human existence and moved beyond the limits of our experience—to become more than worldly limits allow.  Literally, the trend of Washington D.C. culture has been for everyone to get on their knees and worship at the alters of the powerful—but with Trump—he came to town clearly larger than anybody and now literally he was looming over everything with a perspective that was more than human.

The trend continued in reverse as I reflected on the concert in front of the Lincoln Memorial which for me was deeply emotional because it had a theme that was very obvious.  When 3 Doors Down sang Kryptonite as an obvious nod to Superman—the super hero, and that was followed by several acts featuring Ravi Drums performing some fabulous solo drum exhibitions I could see a not so subtle plot emerging—a message from Trump to the rest of us.  Again, the theme was “solo” efforts at taking small things and overcoming limits to become bigger—like the Trump presidency.  As I watched Ravi and the other acts I could literally hear the most diehard liberals from the entertainment community screaming at what they were seeing—the power of the individual being unleashed through the Executive Branch.

With Obama it was the theme of progressivism—we are all nothing unless we are united together—which is the trash we just kicked to the curb.  As the presidents gathered to watch Trump take the oath the evidence was palatable.  Trump’s inauguration speech was literally a symbol of mankind rising to some new individual height that stepped well beyond the limits of our past where we were all chained in bondage to the orders of our “betters.”  Trump had arrived and not even past presidents sitting right next to him could eclipse that light he had gained from the metaphorical “sun.”  Here was a man who had never been on his knees for anybody taking the Executive Office–who just 12 hours prior had brought Kellyanne Conway on stage to thank her for all her hard work and then called her “baby” as she stepped off the stage.  The political left melted into oblivion.  How could a man who was president of the United States be such a chauvinist—a capitalist loving monument of freedom who didn’t need any of them—the answer is that Trump was never a groveling fool begging for his way through life.  He’s always been face to face with himself and that drives the order of the past insane.

Most of the European wars that have taken place since the Roman Empire left the shores of England were over the control of populations and what religion they would adhere to.  Even when Catholics had their grip on England the Protestants led by Martin Luther were proposing that Rome was not in control of man’s connection to God which only increased as the printing press made personal Bibles more of a household item—decentralizing the church in ways they were never comfortable with.  So wars would break out within countries and with other lands essentially to focus the efforts of nations on a unified religion.  Even before the Roman Empire, it was these kinds of state sponsored challenges which inspired people to kneel before a king, a god, or an ancient past where these heroes paved the way for lesser people to exist.  Then along came America to challenge all that but even then our European roots possessed many of the previous 44 presidents in ways that made them run the Executive Branch with more pomp than circumstance. A few former presidents touched the face of greatness (the sun) and generated their own otherworldly reference—but most were content to bow on their knees and face their god—and leave things there.  Not Trump.

The Air Force One planes that Trump and his family departed from looked small—they didn’t fit his personality—just as the wide shots during the inauguration made the former presidents look like an old shoe that Trump had grown out of as a youth.  Donald Trump is the oldest inaugurated president yet he looks and acts like a man of 35—he doesn’t seem elderly, feeble in any way, or even limited.  He has unshakeable confidence and a belief in his ability to literally do anything.  There has never been a president like that.  This is a very new experience.  But even as I say that, the whole event wasn’t about Trump—it was about us.

I have never enjoyed a firework display like I did the one at the Lincoln Memorial with the Trump family standing on the steps as the “Battle Hymn of the Republic” played.  We don’t have a democracy—we have a republic and when the people who run that republic have never been on their knees in obligation to anything—and they expect to give the people of that republic the same transcendence—the human race just evolved from something that belongs in the trash to something of great value—an empty vessel ready to be filled with the succulence of Americanism spawned forth by the 45th president, just as the wonderful inauguration glass had brought me great joy and many fine wines during the swearing-in ceremony.

And as the garbage man came to pick up our trash in front of our house I listened to the song “Hello, I am Human” over and over as the lights from the truck lit up the early morning pre-dawn hours with promise—we were throwing out those days of kneeling before our “gods” our “betters” in Washington D.C. and we were as a nation facing ourselves—standing—with the power of the sun for literally the first time in human history and we were saying with a salute to the American flag—“Hello, we are now—human.”

The Donald Trump Concert at the Lincoln Memorial: Great talent and ingenuity launching a new fresh day in the world

I would have expected more television coverage of the very good concert in honor of Donald Trump’s inauguration at the Lincoln Memorial even though the political left was boycotting and even harassing talent promising to perform.  Well, look for yourself dear reader.  The Mall in Washington D.C. was filled all the way beyond the Monument for a Thursday night concert.  The talent I thought was great.  Three Doors Down played Kryptonite and several other acts did some wonderful work that served as a wonderful metaphor for Trump himself–musicians that made simple instruments like pianos and drums sound like full symphony orchestras.  So if you haven’t seen this wonderful concert–here it is, and share it with others–because it was a special evening.
