Rolling Over Trump Protestors: There is no going back–liberals lost and will continue to

To the protestors who are laying down in front of the Trump presidency hoping with all hope that they will somehow be successful in holding on to their progressive political gains won over the years—they are about to be flattened by inertia. I would refer them back to a video I did over seven years ago called A Whip Stunt to Save America.  In that video I made it quite clear that I had been up to that time willing to live in co-existence with them.  But I added that I didn’t think they belonged in America—because obviously, they were inclined toward socialism and in the United States—socialism has always been a big no, no.  So as Alec Baldwin, Michael Moore and the current liberal mayor of New York screamed about holding their gains against the intrusion of a Trump presidency—they fail to realize that they already had lost them years ago.  Trump is the result of that loss as many people like me just got tired of hearing the arguments made by liberals who were trying to change America into something I despise—a more metrosexual utopia of socialist loving lazy idiots who expect the state to do all their thinking for them.  That is not the American way and progressives have insisted to infringe themselves on people like me who were getting sick and tire of it—so things were never going to go well for them.  A breaking point was coming—they just refused to understand it.

Listening to complete socialist radicals—literally—hammer Trump’s cabinet picks over the last couple of days it was clear that America didn’t have room for both points of view. Socialists and capitalists do not belong together—their philosophies are incompatible—and I’m not about to yield to them, and they obviously have no intention to yield to me—based on their track record.  And when given an option I favor for president, look how they’ve behaved.  With them, it is win or destroy—there is no middle ground.  Over the many years in dealing with these socialist types from the Democratic Party they have let us compromise with them, then they’ve given no ground—they’ve only taken it.  So at a certain point, we were going to take everything away from them because what they gained—they never earned.  They stole it.

Nobody cares if 60 or a 1000 Democrats boycott the Trump inauguration. Someone else will sit in those empty seats.  Obviously, as the inauguration ceremonies unveil themselves—the world has moved on and is enjoying Donald Trump.  Only the leftists are the ones crying—and they are what make up the mainstream media—and nobody on my side has one ounce of sympathy for them because when the shoe was on the other foot—they spit in our eye and they went after our jugulars.  As a result they have lost their platform of uniformity.  Nobody wants to listen to them any more from the conservative side and that trajectory will continue to distance itself from the socialist sympathizers who have had a voice in our American government for too long.  These protestors of Trump’s inauguration don’t understand that people on the other side are never going to join them or work with them again.  They have lost their friends from the other side and gradually, the differences will become more and more obvious resulting in a complete destruction of the Democratic Party.

So as Democrats watch people celebrate the Trump presidency over the next few days with great horror reflected in their observations, they should know that it’s not just Donald Trump people are celebrating—it’s the end of the Democratic Party. In 2010 when I did my Whip Stunt video I was already thinking what’s happening now—liberals just don’t belong in America.  Now they are free to jump ship and to become capitalists and if they do—we can all live in peace.  But they don’t have a seat at the table any more in servicing the end of America as they have obviously been doing since Barack Obama was elected.  They tried to drag us kicking and screaming to their side of the political aisle, and now it’s time for revenge—and it is a lot easier to destroy then to build.  So for everything they have built as progressives over the last 100 years, it is expected by me to have all that destroyed over the next few years.  What I expect to see is a return of American toward an open capitalist society that is proud of the money it makes and the morality that comes with it.  And the socialists are not welcome to the table of debate.

I normally don’t celebrate events like this, because they are transitory events that don’t often carry much weight against the scope of history. But for Trump, I am celebrating, and I will be doing it most of the weekend.  Trump being president is a decision against progressivism and it has been part of my thinking for over a decade.  It was around 2012 that I realized that the answer to many of the government problems were to inject businessmen into politics as opposed to more lawyers who become politicians just to pay for their law degrees.  I had around that time been to John Boehner’s office in West Chester asking why the United States was still funding the United Nations—because they obviously didn’t have our interests in mind—and I was asking why congress was letting Obama get away with the many terrible things he was doing—specifically making appointments during Holiday recesses—and abusing executive orders—then getting lame answers from Boehner—I had, had enough.  When John Kasich—the governor of Ohio shook my hand personally and told me that education reform takes time—then turned around just a few months later and voted to expand Medicaid so that he could set up exchanges with Obamacare for federal money—I decided that the whole system needed to change direction—so I put my support behind Donald Trump—as did many millions of others for the same reasons.  And now things will change, and that is something worth celebrating.

So as the coverage of the protests are shown on television, the reality is that they will have no impact on changing anything. If they lay down in front of Trump they will be run over and nobody will cry over their carcass.  They are a hated group of anti-American radicals—and there is no room for their philosophy.  They took several steps against traditional America and now it’s time to pay for it.  And by the look of the crowds at the inauguration for Trump—if 40,000 Democrats boycotted the event—nobody will even notice.   That’s how things stand as Donald Trump settles down in the Blair House for his first night in Washington D.C.

And a note to the Dems.  Don’t threaten violence.  You can’t back up the backlash that will come back at you 20 times worse.  There is nothing scary about a bunch of old hippie girly men and feminazi radicals supported by the snowflake Millennials.  We tried talking to you.  I am personally done with it.  So proceed with caution.

Fake News and Fake Polls: Nobody cares about the death of the political left–ding dong, well, you know the rest

Project Veritas thankfully has posted another video revealing what the radical communist-leaning Democrats have plan on inauguration day hoping to ruin President Trump from being sworn in as president of the United States. Well, those radicals were caught showing that the mechanisms of the political left will stop at nothing to hurt Donald Trump and to advance the evils of progressivism leaving all the recent conspiracies against the new president to be more than theory—they are fact.  Liberals do not want peace in America and will bring great harm if allowed to any who stand in their way.  If this recent video is added to the intelligence community leaks that provided Buzzfeed and CNN with smut designed to degrade Donald Trump in the same way that they did at NBC with the Hollywood Access tapes and continue to do on Saturday Night Live—and the constant news about Democrats refusing to acknowledge Trump as their president and are boycotting the inauguration—to the Hollywood crybabies singing songs and other protests against Republicans hoping to use the same old tricks to gain a foothold into ruining the next administration, they failed to notice that something changed.  But—this time it’s different, those of us on the political right are sick of these games and as a result of the last election, we have lots of proof of what we only previously suspected—and the left-wingers are on the way out—largely in thanks to Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe.

I have stated that President Obama wasn’t my president—and I never thought of him as such—except for the first few months of his administration. Even though I was against him, I did give him a chance—but when he failed after a few years, I got involved and the rest is history.  I will celebrate on Friday audaciously—because I’m very happy about it.  I am proud of the part I have played in the creation of Donald Trump and all that is happening right now.  The left has been exposed and they really don’t know what to do.  That ladies and gentleman is called a “checkmate.”  They have already lost, and they know it—and all these temper tantrums are a result that they know life will change for them and likely by the end of just 4 years of Trump—their plight toward radical socialist aims will be erased from the fabric of America which took over 100 years for progressives to advance.

It’s almost funny how when people like me pointed out years ago, every little disparity of Barack Obama we were called such mean names—even to the extent of dismissing everything as a “conspiracy theory.” But as it turned out we were all right about Obama, the intelligence community, and the rest of the massive corruption seeping out of Capitol Hill.  Yet, now the mainstream media that made fun of us just a few years ago, have hooked themselves to every conspiracy theory that the slightest gutter slut could dream up during a heroin high.  And they don’t even care if there is any truth to any of them—and we know their playbook largely because of Wikileaks and Project Veritas.  They were exposed to such an embarrassing degree that they will never be able to redeem themselves.  It won’t take long for the lefties to run out of gas as the realities of the new economy hammer them like a rusty nail into rotten wood.  What we are hearing from them today is the last howling cry before their death as a party.  They are finished and I say good riddance to them all.  They don’t yet know they are finished, but trust me, they are done.

Yet let’s consider what we have heard from Project Veritas in regard to a losing political party against the next president of the United States. These people are threatening terrorist activity and nobody I know attempted to do anything like that during Barack Obama’s inauguration.  I was in certain circles of people who wondered why nobody had tried to assassinate the occupant of the White House during the Obama years—and I’d correct them and say—“you can’t say that.  They are listening to you and will use it against you in court whether you mean it or not.”  But other than that—conservatives just went to work putting better people in place at the congressional level and in the governor seats.  When Obama did something wrong, people like me would point it out in the theater of ideas, but we never threatened to shut down Washington, incite violence, or do anything malicious.  Never.  So why is this different?  Why is it aright with everyone in the establishment that the political left has openly proclaimed that they are willing to shut down Washington D.C. hoping to stop the Trump Inauguration?

Here’s the thing, and this is to the leftist protestors who are against Trump now and have harassed people like me over the years with the assumption that they were in the majority—politically, and were very happy to tell me that my way of thinking was dead. They really shouldn’t have provoked me, and the many others who have put up candidates like Donald Trump to undo them forever in the battle over American philosophy.  I wasn’t going to just surrender to a bunch of cry baby liberals I was always going to fight them first with a superior philosophic outlook and if it came to violence, then I was prepared to deal with them at the level too.  But surrender was never an option—ever.

So these mindless little threats hold no fear to people like me—and after four years of Trump, there will be many more who think the same way—because everyone likes a winner.  Trump and now the Republican Party are winners and the Democrats are the losers who are screaming foul even as the lights on the field have shut off and the fans have left the stadium.  They no longer have any power of persuasion and that holds true for ABC News, CBS, NBC, CNN The New York Times and everyone else considered to be the mainstream media.  They are being replaced by new means of media by new names who make the news.  Hollywood has additionally destroyed itself with its obvious support of all this liberalism and that will hurt them desperately.  Hollywood won’t be the same place at the end of Trump’s first term.  Mark it on your calendar.

People are tired of terrorists running their government and that is the bottom line. By default all liberals have put themselves in the category of “fake news” because the proof was provided to us by many sources recently—largely the great work by Project Veritas.  And now that liberals have that stigma, they’ll never get rid of it.  Nobody is believing their fake news and nobody is afraid of their threats of violence because honestly, America is ready to kick the shit out of them.  Just see how much these little snowflakes will accomplish in Washington D.C. as the Bikers for Trump group ensure safety beyond the police who will keep the snowflakes from falling in such a way that they have any impact on the inauguration.  Nobody any longer cares about these leftists and their fake news and their fake polls.  They have lost their relevancy and that will be evident on Friday January 20th 2017.

Saturday Night Live is Terrible: Their hatred of Trump will be their undoing

Donald Trump has a point, Saturday Night Live is terrible lately because they have taken political satire and turned into activist aggression.  I’ve watched SNL for many years and I generally have liked it even when they don’t agree with me politically.  But since the election of Trump, they seem to have lost their minds.  We always knew they were left-winged radicals at SNL and the producers at NBC were socially liberal—but what they are doing to Donald Trump is attempting to weaponize their airwaves which of course will backfire.  But just look at this terrible production during their opening on January 14th–it was horrendous.  Terrible writing, terrible execution and the satirical attempt would need to be rooted somewhat in reality—but this skit doesn’t even resemble the actual press conference Donald Trump did just a few days prior.

It’s hard to understand the minds of these liberals.  Surely they know that now that they’ve revealed their true political radicalism typical fans of the show—like myself—will watch something else.  For instance, normally my wife and I watch SNL from our bed as we close out a Saturday.  But this week, because the previous shows since the election were so terrible, I recorded it and watched it during breakfast before my wife even got up on Sunday.  After that opening act I turned it off and deleted the rest of the show in favor of spending my time on something else.  I’m sure I wasn’t the only one.  And how can SNL afford to alienate half the country and still hope to produce stars for motion pictures and kings of the comedy world?  They are blowing it with this political theater.

The radical left wingers attempted to make Ronald Regan look stupid in their comedy back in the 80s and they are trying the same thing with Donald Trump, and Alec Baldwin’s mocking of Trump on SNL completely depends on painting the newly elected president as a complete idiot.  But, Trump isn’t stupid—he made a lot of money being smarter than other people and he’s wrote a lot of bestselling books based on his accomplishments—well before he was ever in politics.  Painting Trump as a stupid fool just won’t work with Trump and if the SNL people were really so smart, they’d know that.  But obviously, they don’t, and that will prove to be their doom.

I mean they called Trump’s kids Bevis and Butthead.  What did they think was going to happen?   Don and Eric are nothing like those idiots that used to be on MTV.  That kind of mean-spirted writing is a huge turnoff as entertainment because its not even satire–its just stupid.

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 7th or 8th 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.

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!

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 16th just a few weeks before the great election of Donald Trump on November 8th.  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 7th to 8th 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.

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.

Atlas Shrugged, the Sequel: The Trump Way

The best way to describe the situation now transpiring in Washington D.C. politics is as a sequel to the famed American novel Atlas Shrugged—where the engines of the world came down from their mountain hideaway to save society from the depots of statism—once of course that those politicians had surrendered their authority to John Galt at the climax of the novel.  As Rex Tillerson the CEO of Exxon was announced as the next Secretary of State as kind of bookend to the previous week’s nominations it was clear that what was about to happen under the Trump administration was a new classic American novel being written before our very eyes which would change the nature of politics and human philosophy for all time.

Watching the very good series The Crown on Netflix it captures wonderfully the problems of our thus far human history.  We most define our human existence with the thousand years or so of domination from Great Britain and how that island country shaped European history.  But essentially, they are a carryover of the Roman Empire which was a spawn of Greek, Egyptian and Mesopotamian life.  Then of course is the orient and their variety of god-like kings and queens who have ruled in much the way of the British monarchy—so by watching that one Netflix show—a novice viewer can get quite a grasp which was displayed I thought brilliantly during Queen Elizabeth’s coronation, of the trouble between religion, aristocracy and the management of government with the “commoner” stuck in the middle.

Communism was a philosophic invention along the lines of Immanuel Kant and had appeal to the “commoner” who simply wanted to be free of that impossible situation stuck between monarchies, state governments and religious institutions so they sought to level the playing field—justifiably so.  Governments of the day, at the end of the 19th century into the 20th recognized that communism would cripple the economies of their enemies, so they purposely shipped it to Russia to keep them out of future world wars and the land acquisition that came with kingdom building.  Then they sought to spread it around the world to pull free countries like the United States back into that control of the state, religion, and a society of aristocrats acting as “fighters for the people” when in fact they were just another royal class of despots seeking power on the backs of the “commoner.”  Atlas Shrugged was essentially an argument against this behavior whereas this new sequel under a Trump presidency is a proposal going forward for how things should be.

Of course people who sympathize with the communist philosophy do not like Atlas Shrugged or Donald Trump—but that’s good—because it has been their thinking which has threatened to throw the world backwards—essentially to the European middle-ages all along.  The new religion of their control is not Catholicism this time, but “environmental regulation” which is the modern term for religious control and statism typical of the monarchy driven European mentality so evident at the end of the Roman Empire and the start of the Inquisition.

In that context the political nomination of Rex Tillerson as Secretary of State is quite extraordinary.  As demonized as oil executives have been over the years, largely by the communist/environmentalist movement, to put one in charge of such an important diplomatic role from the Executive Branch is one of Donald Trump’s boldest picks yet.  Tillerson is one of those “engines of the world” a person who makes things happen and for the first time in known history—these kinds of people will be running the affairs of the United States—a young country that has deliberately turned away from the statism of Europe for an opportunity under capitalism to evoke a new philosophy utilized by the human race rooted in freedom.  In America aristocratic concerns don’t matter as merit defines worth and that is largely the type of people who are making up Trump’s cabinet.

Where up to this point the understanding of what built an economy or generated a nation’s GDP was ill-defined as would-be aristocrats hemorrhaging the political class of its ethics hid the truth behind Kantian philosophies—the big switch now is that it will be forever clear who and what those engines are—and there will be no going back. Currently the reaction from the liberal-minded is fear at Trump’s picks because they have been trained to be essentially stupid people—purposely handicapped to play their social roles—in much the way that Queen Elizabeth II in the Netflix show, The Queen was purposely educated only in matters of the Constitution and little else, to keep her properly in check within the various balances of power between the State and the Church.  Millions upon millions of children have been purposely handicapped through their public educations to be enormously stupid adults illiterate in basic functions to essentially prevent them from discovering the truth that the Trump presidency will reveal—that the engines of the world are businessmen and those engaged in commerce from first the creative side, then the ruthless competition which forges only the best to emerge followed by-product fulfillment—the boons it brings to a society are born.

Recently I was on a flight from Tokyo, Japan to Osaka and I sat next to a young Japanese girl who was quite impressed with the suit I was wearing.  You see, in Japan their youth had not been taught to hate business, but instead saw it as an extension of the samurai philosophy from their 1600 A.D. feudal period.  She bowed deeply before sitting next to me and thanked me for bringing business to her country.  She couldn’t have been any older than 21 or 22 years old, so she was just a kid, but I was quite surprised how sincere she was about seeing a businessman on an airplane. That goes a long way to explaining why the Japanese are so successful with a much smaller country than say China or even Korea—because they revere business and commerce as a natural extension to their warrior past, and they value it.  That value is reflected in their culture and young people don’t think anything of bowing to a foreigner on an airplane dressed in a suit because they have been taught that businessmen and women make the world move forward.  It is something to respect.  Now the fool might say the girl was looking for a sugar daddy, which couldn’t have been further from the truth.  People who think like that are stupid and there is no way to salvage their lives for goodness.

Watching Saturday Night Live since the Trump election it has been grotesquely obvious that our youth do not understand Trump, business, or the politics of economic necessity.  All they’ve ever been taught is to hate capitalism and to adhere to the new age religion of global warming—as a backdoor means of communism repackaged for our modern youth.  The jokes on Saturday Night Live have been horrendously flat because the writers and actors clearly do not understand the world revealed to them by the Trump election so they only know to grapple with it through demeaning means.  The root of their failure is that they don’t understand or respect merit—therefor they have no appreciation for value.  For instance, two weeks ago from this writing they proposed a skit about young children who desired a Fisher Price Wishing Well—gifted children who wanted to step over childhood and enter adulthood where they could announce their great achievements to the world perched atop a great balcony, and the wishing well was a toy meant to appease their anxiety at being trapped as children to inexperience.   Honestly, they were essentially attacking my own childhood, because I was living the punchline of their joke only it didn’t come out funny—it was spiteful, even to people who couldn’t personally identify.  SNL was mad at the type of children who know they are too smart and good for the social standard and couldn’t wait to grow up and become great John Galts.

This past Saturday was yet another really pathetic skit about a day in the life of Donald Trump where the writers completely failed to understand the president-elect except through the lens of having deficiencies which portrayed him as an out-of-touch bourgeoisie—the only public education definition given to them to understand wealth.  The sad irony is that before Trump the writers were free to make jokes about the political right because we don’t take things too serious.  After all, we’re used to not being represented in popular media, so we have no choice but to support liberal artists if we want some culture.  But the political left don’t know how to do the same for us because they’ve always functioned from the aristocratic assumption that their way of thinking was in the majority.   It wasn’t and now they are having a hard time understanding how to cope.

The truth of the matter is that it is extreme minorities who make everything in the world work—and those are the best of us determined to be so through intense competition, merit through education, and those who just out-work everyone else.  In Trump’s new world the engines of the world will be free to do their justice and those opponents which have guarded against innovation through statist controls are having their voice taken from them in a social context.  The engines of the world now carry the torch for the first time, and that is quite an achievement.  One that will have lasting, and deep consequences right out of the gate in 2017.  And that is a very exciting prospect.  For those who love the original Atlas Shrugged, novel, finally they get to write the sequel.  This time it won’t come to us through the great American novel, but through the Executive Branch.   And that will be a story that will literally change the world for the better.

10 Seconds of Sheer Bliss: ‘Star Wars’ transcending politics and the #dumpstarwars movement

Obviously, many of the makers of the new Star Wars film, Rogue One regionally identify with San Francisco politics, because after all, that is where George Lucas moved his Lucasfilm company just prior to selling his empire to Disney in 2012.  They are not Donald Trump fans and have foolishly engaged in a progressive campaign against the president-elect adopting the same slant as Saturday Night Live has—lampooning Trump and the supporters of the new rebellion in America which they’ve associated as racists, bigots, and homophobes.

Where they’ve gone wrong is in assuming—including Mark Hamill, (Luke Skywalker himself) is that the meaning of Star Wars was always about diversity and togetherness in a collective kind of ooze, as opposed to what the masses actually cleave to making it one of the most popular modern stories of all time.  They obviously don’t understand why Star Wars is successful, and they don’t necessarily need to so long as they stick to the formula that George Lucas started so many years ago.   Rogue One is a war movie inspired from the World War II era, and that involved European politics from a time when nations came together to combat the evil of Hitler—and that is a universal theme everyone can get behind.  I personally like Garth Edwards as a director—he did a great job on the recent Godzilla film, and now that I’ve heard the Michael Giacchino soundtrack for Rogue One, particularly the section shown below at the 1:40 mark, I am getting very excited for the new film.  I wish I could have an hour-long soundtrack of just that kind of music because it reflects how I personally think.  If you could put music to my way of thinking 24 hours a day seven days a week—it would sound like that—that’s it!

I’ve went to the trouble of warning these modern Star Wars makers, like the Rogue One writer, Chris Weitz to story group leader at Lucasfilm Pablo Hidalgo and the director of Episode 8 Rian Johnson through Twitter that they needed to can their opinions because they don’t understand Star Wars in an ethical way so far as it relates to the world outside of Lucasfilm—by way of its art.  I think they are too young and as natural second-handers to George Lucas, they don’t get the appeal because they live in a filmmaking bubble.  Even George Lucas didn’t understand it for most of his life—if he ever did.  In fact, Lucas may have only understood Star Wars after he survived the car crash that nearly killed him and ever since—he has been losing that understanding year by year.  As an artist, he tapped into something by accident and that became something that changed the world philosophically and when film industry employees seek to bring modern political meaning to Star Wars, they cheapen it.  For instance, as Chris Weitz stated about Trump supporters—foolishly—the empire from the Star Wars movies were racists white supremacists and that the villains from Rogue One were much like those who put the New York billionaire into the White House over the corrupt Hillary Clinton—whom many at Lucasfilm were openly supporting.  I reminded all those mentioned above that Finn was a black guy and that Captain Phasma was a woman and as my friend Matt Clark pointed out recently, all of the Clone Troopers were copied from the DNA of Jango Fett—who certainly wasn’t a “white guy.”  So I told Chris that if he thought that’s what made Rogue One tick as a movie—as the writer—then the film would likely suck.

http://www.businessinsider.com/trump-supporters-star-wars-rogue-one-boycott-2016-12

What those Lucasfilm employees obviously don’t understand is that most of the people I know who ran the Trump campaign on the ground level all loved Star Wars and that from their perspective the evil empire was the Democratic Party and the villains were clearly the Clintons.  The destruction of the second Death Star was election day 2016 and we celebrated by pulling down the statue of the evil empress Clinton in the city square of a metaphorical Coruscant.  So we are clearly at odds with each other and our definitions of things are defined by regional relationships—Lucasfilm by the progressive views of the coastal cities of New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles—and the Trump rebellion from the flyover states like Ohio, Georgia, Texas, Indiana and Michigan.  One thing that Star Wars taught me as a young person, which the modern Lucasfilm employees have not yet mastered is that the space opera is best defined on wings of art—the kind James Joyce participated in—which tapped into ancient roots of human experience and that it is there that the keys to understanding the power and success of Star Wars is best applied.

It was only because of Star Wars that I was inspired as a young twenty-something to read the great European classics like The Canterbury Tales and Finnegan’s Wake.  One of those is actually medieval literature while the other is an attempt at preservation of life before the Catholic takeover of Europe specifically in the British Isles.  Star Wars is all about that kind of thing mixed with oriental cultures.   Lucas properly took all of the world’s mythologies and placed them on an infinite tapestry of galactic magnitude and benefited it even more by setting the story long before our modern human history.  The genius of that was to remove the audience from the here and now and place it comfortably in the past so that reflection was possible without the immediacy of modern troubles.  So I literally have spent the last thirty years reading classic literature from around the world because I was inspired by Star Wars as a kid to do so—and I am far better off for it now.  With these new Star Wars films I am hopeful that the same thing happens to millions of other people over the coming decades because there is a real hope that I have that this art of Star Wars will carry mankind to a new level of understanding even in spite of Kathy Kennedy’s immediate desires to find female directors and stick progressive causes into Star Wars which rips the mind away from the transcendental nature which evokes the magic in the first place.  She and Lucasfilm in general understand I think enough to get by.

For instance, Rogue One is really a classic spin on an old World War II movie.  The upcoming Han Solo film which goes into production at the turn of the year 2017 has the art department looking at old Frederic Remington paintings to get the look of that movie to reflect a classic western, so these guys get it, and I look forward to seeing what they get up on the screen.  I understand that we will see a newer Millennium Falcon with some cool paint schemes on it, which will be wonderful as Han Solo is my favorite character.  He’s a very Ayn Rand type of hero.  I am so excited about that project that I’m planning to visit the studio where they are filming while they are there in the first quarter of 2017—because it’s wonderful as a work of art to see those types of elements being put together in something that will inspire the world.  I’m not saying anything more about the Millennium Falcon because it’s all kind of a secret and I respect that.  We’ll all see it soon enough.

The success of the new Han Solo movie will largely depend on how well Rogue One does, so I am rooting for the film to do well.  I won’t be boycotting Star Wars just because the filmmakers at Lucasfilm don’t understand the presidency or modern necessity of Donald Trump.  They’ll get it in hindsight, but if they don’t see it now—I won’t fault them for it.  They have an important job to do in my mind and they need to stick to it.  I will say that I am encouraged by what I’ve seen so far, like that Michael Giacchino film score, and the recent update to the video game Battlefront where there is a DLC featuring Rogue One events which came out this week.  I’ve been playing it and let me just say—it’s quite astonishing.  Additionally, this past week the new VR Mission for X-Wing came out on Playstation and it was jaw dropping cool.  The neatest video game experience I’ve ever had.  There isn’t even a close second and all this is a result of Star Wars newest film Rogue One which has resurrected the science and ambition those films evoked in the 1980s.  I never thought in my wildest imaginings that I’d be able to sit in the cockpit of an X-Wing Fighter and perform dogfighting with other ships around a massive Star Destroyer on the edge of an asteroid field in the most perfect 3D imagery I’ve ever seen.  I say that from the perspective of working with the RealD 3D guys back in 2008 when they were perfecting their cameras for the revolution we see now in movie theaters.  I can only imagine what kind of technical breakthroughs we will see over the next few years as Star Wars continues to inspire science and art to push human understanding and the Trump presidency opens up the purse strings of capitalism to make those ideas happen.  If everyone can’t yet see the big picture—I can deal with that.  But lack of vision doesn’t make people correct in their assumptions.  Chris would do his project and Lucasfilm a tremendous service if he’d just keep his mouth shut and do his job within that context.

Meanwhile I will be one of the first to see Rogue One.  I ordered the soundtrack from Michael Giacchino based exclusively on that clip.  I will now go listen to those few seconds of music at the 1:40 mark for the rest of the day because it’s that kind of thing which feeds my brain—which is my favorite part of my body—and it likes to eat.  Matt Clark and I are planning a Star Wars special on 1600 WAAM on New Year’s Eve and we’ll review the new Rogue One movie and elaborate on all these topics more, once we have had the benefit of seeing the movie and comparing it to the history of the franchise which are shaped in translation by the politics of our time.  So we’ll see.  I’m hopeful, but will reserve my judgment on the product presented.  And as of now, I’m enjoying the possibilities that come with Star Wars and the hope for the human race that often trails in its wake.  I will say this, thank you Michael for that 10 seconds of music shown in the Rogue One scoring session.  Because I love it!
