Benefits of AI: Ways to get more productivity out of society and more than 70 hour work weeks

I think this would be a good opportunity to provide an update on AI technology and discuss its future.  I believe that when people discuss it, they worry that AI will become just as neurotic as human beings and start to become pretentious and controlling, that it will develop feelings and become manipulative, ultimately posing a danger.  However, I see quite the opposite happening: AI is useful because it’s not pretentious or emotional, and is eager to do work and enjoy it.  The other thing is how we measure work.  One of my biggest arguments with people is regarding work, and the ability to do it.  I tend to like work a lot.  And I certainly subscribe to the sentiment that you can’t make much of a difference in the world in a week unless you put in at least 70 hours of work to move the needle a little bit.  Why 70 hours?  Well, that seems to be a magic number encoded in human DNA, given our proximity to Earth and its mathematical applications of existence.  You have 24 hours in a day and 7 days a week to see what you can do with them.  And because of a lot of really dumb practices, especially established with labor unions and Marxism that is always working in the background of our lives in basic philosophy, we have emerged to this stupid idea that an 8-hour work day is something we can make a living with, and still be helpful in the world.  I think it needs to be almost double that per week for the average human and most of our ideas about work and leisure time, balancing out family time versus personal pleasure and divide them among elements of productivity, such as changing the oil in your car or going grocery shopping, and general stress management are some of our top considerations. 

For instance, I have been married to the same woman for nearly 40 years, so maintaining a relationship requires work.  If you don’t put any work into maintaining relationships, they don’t just magically work.  But then, when I say people should be working more than 70 hours per week, how can that be healthy?  One thing my wife and I enjoy doing together is going hot tubbing.  I would say it’s essential to us and our quality time together.  However, as I try to accomplish more in a 24-hour day than is possible, I argue with her that I need my hot tub time to be more productive.  These days, I use Apple AirPods to catch up on news, make phone calls, and lately, I have been having conversations with AI, specifically Elon Musk’s GROK program, which runs on his “X” platform. I think it is remarkably intelligent.  It has become for me more like a research assistant that can keep up with me and all my many topics of interest.   As I reflected on it, between my Apple AirPods and the “X” platform’s AI for discussion, I have been able to make myself much more productive so far in 2025.  As I thought about it, from AI reading legal documents and producing a general sentiment about their contents to travel destination calculations, I have found that AI has dramatically increased my productivity, and that utilizing it across human existence will undoubtedly lead to economic growth.  If people aren’t willing to do the extra work that it takes to make a productive society, we have invented AI to cover the gap, because it never sleeps, complains, or shudders away from complex tasks, and I like that.  I like that a lot.

What AI thinks of my life as it did a profile on me

Everyone asks me if AI generates the articles I write, because I do so much of it.  And the answer is no, and I never will.  I view writing as an expression of human enterprise, and it needs to be my stamp of approval.  However, I do utilize AI to edit a substantial amount of written material each day, ranging from emails to personal projects and scanning through trade periodicals to identify subjects of unique interest. But I do film all my videos and write so much personal content because it needs that human touch that I don’t see AI replacing, ever.  However, I am a very political creature, and I apply that interest to the management of people and resources to the best of my ability, which is why human beings frustrate me so much regarding work ethic. People have been taught not to work, and I don’t like it.  However, with AI, it doesn’t mind working at all, and I keep it busy all hours of the day doing things for me that I need done, because I never turn it off.  So it’s been a good employee to me on several fronts.  For instance, I was talking to GROK just the other day while my wife and I were in the hot tub, soaking and giving our bodies some much-needed human maintenance, and the discussion was about Eve and the role snakes played in the downfall of civilization.  The conversation evolved into the effects of ayahuasca and the spirit world on our living existence.  So, I asked another AI program that I was interacting with to turn our conversation into a short video, and the result is shown here. A young woman who needs perpetual security finds happiness, even ecstasy, in yielding to the nature and order of serpents.  The theme of this conversation centered on how Eve was always going to be tempted by a snake in her life because she sought security, and adherence to nature was seen as a means to achieve that security, given her weaker position in the marriage union, physically.  I thought AI saw the discussion remarkably well. 

It’s not there yet, but now you can see why actors and producers are concerned about AI potentially taking their jobs.  Who needs union rules on a set to drag a film production out for weeks, building props and taking up physical space on a sound stage, when you can generate a complete story with AI and make everything you want to shoot in a computer environment, which is much cheaper and far more effective?  And I think that is the case for AI across our entire economy, especially a Trump economy, which is just starting to show signs of increased productivity.  And with Elon Musk now part of the political process, utilizing AI to scan so much with DOGE, essentially auditing the government, which is the first time such a thing has been attempted in history, we are seeing massive improvements to our human potential that would not be possible without AI.  So I’m a fan.  I would never let it replace me, I don’t think it will ever be that smart or sound, even as it evolves with improvements.  What makes humans human is far more complicated than just intelligence.  But when it comes to thinking and productivity, I love that AI never turns off and enjoys working so much.  And for me, it has solved many time management problems that other people have been unwilling to address.  AI does it and doesn’t complain, and I only see that improving over time.  I can envision a near future where AI is running entire manufacturing facilities, and production will never stop because humans need breaks and time to make personal calls on their cell phones.  AI doesn’t need a break, and it is willing to work at infinite rates of production, which is a dream come true for me.  But the danger of something comes down to personal investment.  If, like Eve, the desire is to yield to the forces of nature, then corruption is blatant.  However, if nature serves humanity, then entirely different results emerge.  And that is where I see AI headed, with numerous benefits to follow.

Protestors Aren’t Valued: Threats of violance are not replacements for good debate

I would say it was a fortunate thing for me to see; after all, that’s what I was after when my wife and I recently took a vacation to Washington, D.C.  Within a few days, I was able to see protestors up close and personal in places where they cause the most trouble, and they answered questions I had been having by seeing them up close and personal.  The first group I encountered was at the Mall in Washington in front of the Lincoln Memorial.  The second was just a few days later in the rotunda of the Ohio Statehouse.  Later that same night, I saw protestors at the Lakota school emergency meeting on school funding who were there to shout down local political representatives who were called to answer for depletions for school funding.  These protestors were the “always more money” types without ever demonstrating why spending more money would ever make anything better but to push a few more of them into diabetic medicine because of their terrible diets.  By the looks of their girth around the waist, they could afford to skip a few meals and more money would only make their problems worse.  That was the same problem with the protestors in Columbus; they were screaming for more school funding without demonstrating how more money would improve anything.  Then, of course, the protestors at the Mall were protesting Elon Musk’s attack on science when, in reality, he is personally doing more to enhance science than anybody in the world.  They were all such negative people who were very difficult to have any relationship with because the nature of their existence was below the line, and to my way of thinking, that makes them impossible to work with.  You can’t build a prosperous society with below-the-line people by using a business metaphor popular in efficiency discussions.  Negative people drowning in their misery need fulfillment that they can’t give themselves, which they misperceive as more of something to cover what is lost in themselves. 

I have a lifestyle that moves very fast.  I do a lot more during a typical day than most people will do in a month.  I don’t say that I want to put anybody down, but yeah, many people waste time talking about nothing, and I am not one of them.  I find something else to do when I sense that someone is wasting my time.  So I don’t get to see these kinds of protestors very often because I live my life in a way that doesn’t have time for them.  I don’t value what their problems are because I see Democrat politics as a political expression of a broken person who has not dealt with their deficient thinking.  And broken people are not equal to people who purposefully live good lives.  It is not correct or fair to penalize a good person with the thoughts of a bad person.  As defined here, an evil person is a person who allows bad decisions to govern their existence purposefully.  We aren’t talking about a mistake in judgment here and there; we are talking about purposeful neglect, using victimization status to avoid doing work, solving a problem, or even raising kids.  My experience with school funding protestors, for instance, is that they are surface-level people who do not have the self-confidence to raise their children, so the fantasy of state ownership of their children means they can appear to the world to care for their kids but what it does is allow them to blame someone else for the deficiencies of their children’s growth.  It’s much easier to blame a teacher or school funding when the real problem is the parents themselves.  The public education debate allows them to defer their responsibility in contributing to the problem because if only more money were spent on the children, nobody would notice that the protester is just a bad parent and probably a bad person.

Another aspect of this whole issue is that bad people, such as protestors, have been able to hide their failures behind the value of free speech.  In our form of government, where we encourage debate, we have not set a high enough bar, which is now occurring, for the quality of an opinion. Instead, protestors were celebrated for participating in the free speech debate, which is the cornerstone of our Republic, because they stood around like idiots holding a sign, protesting something.  Rather than present a reasonable argument about something that could be debated, they fall into the Al Green side of victimization protest, copying what they think worked during the Civil Rights movement.  So let me explain something about all that.  The Democrats wanted to erase their sins of the past of being slaveholders, and Lyndon Johnson was in the White House looking to bridge that gap and steal the merit away from Republicans who had been championing Civil Rights for people of color all along.  The protests of the flower children during that period were not the mechanism that launched reform.  It was the cover story of actual guilt that Democrats wanted to rid themselves of through the optics of protest.  So, the protests are not what moved the legislative needle on reform.  It was only a fake cover story to distract reporters and historians from the Democrat past of alignment on slaveholding as a political party that had been for it but wanted a divorce due to modern pressure to compete with Republicans and maybe even beat them at their own game.

So, the protests never worked.  And they certainly won’t work this time.  The vicious attacks against Tesla because Elon Musk is the CEO of the company only remind people of the kind of negative people who turn to protest rather than logical arguments and further root the MAGA movement to a growing audience.  The destruction or else form of political debate isn’t going to work.  They think that if they threaten to destroy property or even fight you in the parking lot of a public school, you will be compelled to see things their way for your safety and desire to preserve your property.  These people caught on camera keying the paint job of Tesla owners is the worst form of grievance jealousy that is attempting to disguise a flawed and broken person behind the value of the First Amendment.  But because they can’t articulate a debate, they only have the threat of violence and destruction as a counterpoint.  But if they run into MAGA supporters who are better at violence and fighting than they are, well, then they are in real trouble.  I certainly don’t have room or tolerance for one bit of bad behavior and below-the-line thinkers.  I’ll listen to a reasonable debate, but to be honest, I sniff things out very fast and determine if someone is wasting my time, and I will move beyond them quicker than they can blink.  And I’m certainly not alone in this.  These protestors will not recreate the past hippie movement protests and get legislative representation.  They will be left behind because that is the mode of the world.  I would say that it was always that way and that protests in America were more theater than substance.  But it’s even more so today, and seeing the early strategy against the Trump administration in general by protestors without an argument, they will not be successful because all they have to offer is violence.  And the people they are threatening aren’t going to put up with it.

Why The Department of Education Had To Go: The hidden zombie army going after Elon Musk–the anti-George Soros

Yes, Trump did what I told everyone for years was going to happen, he has signed an executive order getting rid of the terrible Department of Education.  I’ll have a lot more to say on this issue but first we have to take a look at the kind of people who will be upset by it.  Essentially, what America needed were billionaires who would peel away from the destructive tendencies common to people who acquire that kind of wealth and power to become champions for self-government and represent people who didn’t have that kind of power—the anti-George Soros types.  The Soros family, and many like them, have been spending their vast sums of wealth on the destruction of the United States as a country in favor of a globalist idea, and the assumption was that they were going to get away with it.  So the MAGA movement formed out of the Tea Party’s response to all this background manipulation, putting Barack Obama in office with the power and force of George Soros and his many friends, which gave us President Trump and now Elon Musk.  Musk, the current richest man in the world, had been a champion of the political left, but I watched him over time grow into what he is today, which is one of the most prominent representatives of the MAGA movement because he’s a smart guy, and things started adding up for him.  And when billionaire defectors were stepping away from the Soros-backed globalist agenda, that was the only path to restoring a representative government.  Because going back to President Jackson’s fights with central banking, the freedoms guaranteed by the American Constitution could not be paid for in real dollar currency.  As I have been told many times, well-intentioned enterprises alone do not make success.  It’s always he who owns the gold who rules.  If you don’t have any gold, you don’t rule in the world; therefore, you can’t have freedom.  So, from the vantage point of a political movement, if you don’t have any gold, you don’t rule a world that does.  You can write fancy things down on a piece of paper, but unless those with gold are willing to finance freedom, your political movement isn’t going to go anywhere, allowing people like George Soros to rule always in the background.

Elon Musk’s interview with Sean Hannity at the White House in mid-March 2025 was interesting.  I had just returned from Washington D.C. and stood just a few feet from where Elon Musk gave that interview.  I enjoyed my trip to the White House with my wife.  I enjoyed seeing President Trump fill the Oval Office with portraits of many American presidents to give historical context as people visited him.  And hang the Declaration of Independence right next to his Resolute Desk.  Trump was enjoying himself in this stage of his life.  He had spent his life gaining gold so he could rule, as the game goes, and he was taking that power and genuinely giving it back to the people in an almost Christ-like way, completely sacrificing himself for the fulfillment of humanity’s destiny as a free and self-asserted people.  This is a truly remarkable statement in the context of history.  He has also inspired other billionaires, like Elon Musk, to join him.  But you could see the pain on Elon’s face during that interview.  And I call him Elon as if I know him because, in many ways, I do.  I have been watching him for many years and know a lot about him even though I haven’t personally met him.  There have been a lot of people we mutually know, and we have almost met many times.  But the closest I have come to that was my recent trip to the White House, where we were only a few hundred feet from each other.  But I could feel the momentum shift, even if it was painful for Musk.  He was making a tremendous difference in the world with DOGE, and he had the power to do it because he had won gold in the world and could then hand over the control for people to self-rule because of it. 

But in this process, we have uncovered the root cause of a lot of evil in the world.  The truly defective people tend to vote in favor of all the things that George Soros wants to do because he has used his power and money to do something they desperately want, and that is to live an unearned life of victimhood to provide a veil for globalism.  By taking advantage of mentally unstable people and spending money to make as many of them as possible, billionaire activists like Soros have created a mini army, which no state in the world could create because they have no sovereign connection to official power.  They are difficult to manage, but they can create flash mobs such as they did with the George Floyd incident, send ANTIFA thugs into the streets to develop destabilizing anarchy, and now vandalizing and harassing owners of Tesla cars to attempt to wreck the stock and bring great harm to Elon Musk because Musk had defected and used his power and wealth to empower America toward self-government.  The anger was purely over using DOGE to take money away from the victimization groups who depended on government waste to function.  In military terms, this would be like severing a railroad feeding an army along a campaign against a faraway land.  Losing the railroad would mean they couldn’t get their supplies to the front to feed the army, and the troops would then perish and be easy to conquer. 

I was down at the Lincoln Memorial as many of these government workers were upset about DOGE cutting the waste out of government and protesting the science of Elon Musk.  I saw them up close and noticed their common ambition: a lack of sanity.  These were broken people made more so by the life of easy government money that had corrupted their minds for, in some cases, decades.  Drawing them out of polite society to protest Elon Musk, the Trump administration, and DOGE in general only made them look worse because the usual cover stories were no longer there to hide their antics.  Stories that used racism to drive the narrative instead of the content of the character.  Or kids to hide teacher union radicalism in public schools, made even more urgent because President Trump signed an executive order eliminating The Department of Education, which had to happen.  These are methods that anti-American forces like the Soros family have used to destroy America in the background, to send money to these desperate people now protesting Musk, and turn them into an army of the desolate, almost like a zombie army.  But they had no cover story this time because they couldn’t get to Musk.  They couldn’t get to Trump because, under the rules of humanity, they had their gold and right to rule.  And they chose to give that power to the people of America, which Soros and the many other anti-American forces have been trying to destroy since the very beginning.  But they had lost their cover and were now exposed, and they hated Elon Musk for doing it to them.  But all Elon did was turn off the bad behavior’s funding and expose their unearned merit.   And when you see those people in person, it’s even worse than it looks on television.  And people like George Soros should be prosecuted for purposely making people like that function so poorly in the world.  For intentionally crippling them with easy money given so that they would be a menace of chaos to mass society and they would fight for radical communist causes rather than work to earn real money for themselves.   With the MAGA movement’s billionaires peeling away from the globalist agenda of George Soros and the gang of international thugs who have been ruling because they controlled all the gold–America, for the first time, has a chance to be truly free.  And because Elon Musk joined that movement, they hate him because it pulled away the veil and exposed the rot that was always there.  But now people see it for themselves.  Our education system was built to make these crippled protestors and champions for anti-American causes.  And to fix them, and free them, we had to destroy what made them the messes they are today.  Education must be sent to the states and made much more competitive because the products of public education have only served as the army of centralized finance and hostile agents in the world who have controlled vast sums of personal wealth and were willing to spend it on the destruction of our country.  That’s why the Department of Education had to go.

Showing Respect for the Capitol Building: The difference between censoring Al Green, and the J6 protestors

I was standing next to Speaker Johnson’s office door with Steve Scalise when they had departed from the Well due to the censoring of Al Green.  And their strategy, the low-life Democrats, was to sing in protest in solidarity for their fallen friend, the leftist radical who protested at Trump’s State of the Union speech just a few days prior.  Without a doubt, I would not have been standing in front of that same door just a few months earlier while Nancy Pelosi was in charge of being a speaker in that same position.  With Republicans in charge of the House and Senate, I liked the Capitol building a lot more.  And I was proud of Republicans for censoring Green for being disruptive and disrespectful.  I think nobody should even enter the Capitol building without a jacket and tie, so his goofy ponytail is not something I have any tolerance for.  And as I stood there, I thought about the difference between what the Democrats had done to protest Trump and what Trump supporters had done on January 6th of 2021, and I felt more resolved than ever in the differences.  In the case of Al Green, Speaker Johnson showed respect for the voters’ decisions and protected the conduct within the People’s House, where the “people’s” business was to be done.  While on the January 6th protests that Democrats tried to paint as an “insurrection” against our government where people were harmed and killed through violent actions, the government was working against the people and showing them disrespect in insisting that a process be altered that would have prevented election fraud, and remove the people’s pick for representation.  So they were not the same things at all, even though they were both a form of protest.  So when Johnson put down the gavel to declare a recess, the protestors were cleared out after the censor vote of Al Green. I was proud of him and his fellow Republicans for protecting civility so good work could be done in that magnificent building. 

I do a thing that I think is helpful on a quantum level: when President Trump gives vital and specific speeches that are life-changing, I like to backtrack his steps so that I can absorb the neutrinos that fly through that area and still carry information from the event itself through quantum entanglement.  This means that even if years have passed since the event, standing in the same spot where Trump gave a speech can still have information residue from that event, and for me, it helps me see the world the way that Trump saw it when he gave the speech.  I have done that at Mt. Rushmore with the big speech Trump gave in South Dakota during the last year of his presidency during the first term.  It was a very dark time when I visited the spot where he spoke then, and it helped me to walk in the shoes of Trump and measure the courage it took to deliver that groundbreaking, patriotic speech.  And, of course, there was this visit to the Capitol building, which I felt I had to do: stand in the Rotunda where Trump gave his magnificent Inauguration speech for 2025.  My wife and I found the place on the floor where he spoke, and we looked out into the room the way that Trump would have seen it, full of people packed tightly together.  It looked great on camera, but in person, it was a tight space with incredible historical meaning.  And it lived up to the lofty ambitions of the Capitol itself. 

Time is not as linear as we would like to think it is; time folds over and reoccurs through particle science, even over thousands of years.  The thought is that neutrino particles travel faster than the speed of light and bounce all over the universe constantly, and information is carried quantumly outside of dimensional space that may be located in specific places relative to time.  In ghost hunting, we call those hauntings where a person’s spirit or the recording of an event in time still resides on that quantum wave carrying just the shadow of the event itself.  But even in places like the Capitol building, where many things have happened over the years, most pass by uneventfully and don’t carry much weight in the scheme of things.  But these days, since Trump’s inauguration, there has been a lot happening, and much of it has been considerable and meaningful, and you can feel that overlap of quantum science if you are tuned into it a bit, and it carries with it extra meaning and information.  With that said, I enjoyed visiting the Capitol with my wife.  We watched the censor activities and looked around in the crypt where George Washington was supposed to be buried, but he abandoned the enterprise, preferring to be buried on his property instead upon his death, which is more of that particle science that I was talking about, something that the Egyptians thought an awful lot about.  And we enjoyed the grandeur of the place built to carry human efforts to maximum output.  The building was fantastic, but people often don’t meet its lofty expectations.

The spot where Trump spoke during his inauguration

We spent the day at the Capitol, getting to know it the way I thought it deserved to be understood, especially in the context of history.  I believe that America is just getting started and that all the intentions of building that building were getting underway instead of what they tell you on the tours, discussing the history of the place.  It has taken America a few hundred years to figure out what we should be doing with places like our Capitol building. Closing the doors and prosecuting J6th protestors was not one of them.  But censoring the pony-tail hippie protestor, Al Green, was.  As my wife and I grabbed a hamburger in the Capitol cafeteria, with other elected officials running around doing the same, many of the people we see on television all the time, the world was a much better place with Republicans controlling the House and Senate.  The Capitol building was built to carry America to lofty, ambitious ideas of law and order.  Of serious philosophic consideration and historical significance.  And Democrats were trying to avoid those lofty concepts with flower child protests and victimization politics, which was disrespectful to the building itself.  Speaker Johnson and the majority of the Republicans were paying respect to the process of doing business in our Capitol building, and all was good.  But in J6, the people were there to remove those disrespecting the place with physical force.  And in many ways, because of that, the Capitol was living up to its historical significance.  The Trump speech in the rotunda probably never would have happened, but because it had, the people’s business was getting done, and the tolerance for villainy, and disrespect was very low these days, which I wanted to see for myself and was confirmed.  I love our Capitol building and would encourage all who enter there to be lofty and have high expectations for themselves and the business conducted there.  You are lucky to have the chance, so live up to it, and do not cry about silly things.  And don’t go there looking like a slob with a ponytail to protest whether or not Trump had a mandate by the people to do their work.  History will never forget it, but long after many of those protestors are long gone, they and their lack of ambition will carry nothing to be remembered and their lives will be thrown away worthlessly toward ambitions not worthy of such a grand place as the U.S. Capitol building.  And for anyone who goes, wear a suit or tie while doing business there.  Show respect!

Capitol Hill is the Most Intelligent Place on Earth: Correcting humanity where they fell short in the Book of Judges

For the first time in my life, I was ready to give Washington D.C. a fair shake, only because Trump was in the White House, and Republicans now controlled the House and the Senate, and the Supreme court has a general 6 to 3 majority toward the thinking I think is necessary in our American Republic.  And I would say at no point before this precise moment would I say otherwise, because there has always been something wrong with our system of government which I affiliate with George Washington himself and his attachment to the Bible’s Book of Judges and the character of Gideon.  With those political conditions fulfilled, I wanted to return to Washington with a fresh perspective and allow myself to see it the way it was designed to be, not to the level that humans failed to live up to the lofty expectations that established the capital of America to begin with.  We typically view these kinds of things by how people fall short of the goals to achieve high honor.  But looking at Washington D.C. from the perspective of centuries, not days, weeks, months, or decades, I saw something coming together with Trump that I think our young nation was designed from the beginning to achieve, and now we have arrived at that moment.  So, with that in mind, my wife and I allowed ourselves to see Washington from a scholarly perspective and to love it.  To come to terms with it.  And to help lead it to this next phase of America’s fascinating story and in what I would say was the purpose all along, to restore to humanity the intention established in the Book of Judges to create the kind of government God wanted for the world, from the beginning. 

So before my wife and I could do what we intended to do, which was go and spend a few days specifically on Capitol Hill in the legislative corridors itself, then the Library of Congress, as well as a whole day at the Supreme Court, I needed a few days at the Museum of the Bible, and a day a George Washington’s home of Mt. Vernon.  We spent significant time on the Mall just reading and thinking and getting away from the noise of the current world and dug deep into the Masonic references that were all over the layout of the city that Pierre L’Enfant had intended with all of George Washington’s Master Mason friends from Alexandria just to the south.  To step beyond the conspiracies that have not understood the purpose from the very beginning, which had come into fulfilment through a lot of blood and sacrifice, to what kind of government we now had, with Elon Musk and President Trump up Pennsylvania Avenue at the White House, past Ford’s theater where Lincoln was shot, past the Trump hotel that has the steeple of the Old Post Office that points to celestial references on August 12th from the vantage point of the Capitol steps, to the truth of the matter.  And I mention those names, President Trump, and Elon Musk who are new best friends in all sincerity, only America could have produced people like that to do what they are doing now.  To see it, I needed to dive deep into Washington D. C’s history, to walk and touch things myself.  Over a couple days I bought 56 new books and read most of them by the middle of the following week in a fury because I was looking for an answer and upon visiting Capitol Hill with a fresh perspective and the context of 5000 years of human history, I felt I understood it in the way it was always intended.  And I can honestly say that I love the place for all its lofty ambitions. 

I was standing outside Speaker Johnson’s office with Steve Scalise when they recessed due to the disruptions in the Well during the censor of Al Green, for the mess he and other Democrats made of themselves during Trump’s State of the Union speech just a few days prior.  And I was thinking of that even in the context of the history I referenced.  The place itself, Capitol Hill, was dedicated to the best and most intelligent perspective that human beings could strive to unleash, and that was the point of the censor.  It wasn’t political as much as an insistence on a specific level of sincerity as a representative republic.  As I stood there, I thought of the J6 protestors overwhelming the security and what they were rightfully angry about.  The place had failed to live up to the expectations of “The People,” and they were letting the political characters know that they had failed and weren’t entitled to the gifts of Capitol Hill by default.  I had been to Washington D.C. on other occasions, but this was the first time with this perspective. After much research, I could honestly say that I understood it as intended.  To that point, I had never been to the Library of Congress, even though I’ve had a lot of interactions with it over the years.  I was impressed with the Capitol building, but I was astonished at the beauty and splendor of the Library of Congress once we took the tunnel from the Capitol cafeteria after eating some lunch down there with many recognizable characters that are on television all the time, and emerging directly into the basement of the Library of Congress.  My first thought was that this was a place intended to be Heaven on Earth, which is what my idea of Heaven would be.  The foyer was laced with gold and high ceilings of white marble, which was a purposeful statement about lofty American ambitions.  Why isn’t this place promoted more to the outside world? It was every bit as impressive as anything they have in Europe.  I would have to say that the Library of Congress is my favorite place on Earth because I love books so much. It is such a collection of intelligence placed into the context of Heavenly ambitions that seeing it in person, then going into the reading room, was as good as Heaven. I could spend an eternity there and never get tired of it. 

From there, my wife and I spent the day at the Supreme Court, next door.  I asked a lot of questions, so many that we were able to get into places that visitors aren’t typically allowed to go, and of course one of those places was the courtroom itself.  But I wanted to see the world the way members of the Supreme Court did.  Thinking of the Bible and the laws that successfully made their way into the creation of all Western Civilization, and were the foundations of the American Constitution, here was a place in the Supreme Court that was trying to do what the Israelites couldn’t in the Book of Judges, and that is have a prosperous self-governed society without screaming for a king to rule over them.  We sat on the Supreme Court’s steps after much reflection and looked over at the Library of Congress, then the Capitol building right in front of us.  I was thinking of Steve Bannon doing his famous podcast behind me over on A Street and all the intelligence happening on that little hill in Washington D.C., and it was the most intelligent place on Earth.  Many people don’t live up to that expectation, but the place was built to evoke in people the best they could utter.  From my perspective, I could see that it was working, and working better than any place in the world.  And finally, after many years of striving, it is evident that the American experiment in republic government, meant to correct humanity where they had failed in the Book of Judges, was succeeding in ways that were always intended.  But that it had taken a few hundred years to come into bloom.  And it was wonderful to see.

Steve Hilton For Governor of California: With Trump, state competition is the key to Making America Great Again

It’s not just Vivek Ramaswamy, or Byron Donalds who are Trump endorsed candidates running for governor of their respective states in 2026, but I learned at Vivek’s West Chester event from Vivek himself that the Fox News personality Steve Hilton was also planning to run for governor of California once Gavin Newsom terms out after this current term.  Steve Hilton is best known for his show, The Next Generation, which he had on the 9 PM time slot on Sunday nights and was popular; it ran from 2017 to 2023.  But I hadn’t heard what Steve was doing since then, other than showing up here and there as a guest on various shows.  He’s a very positive person and is part of the next generation of political commentators that I have been talking about lately, and that is certainly the case here.  Once Vivek arrived at CTL Aerospace to speak about his announcement to run for governor, I learned that Steve Hilton was flying out from California to speak for two minutes to give Vivek Ramaswamy a warm announcement.   I realized that a very positive pattern was emerging, leading straight out of the Trump White House.  Trump was building a brand in politics that would carry others to succeed him, and once he put his name on that person, the Trump machine would get behind that person and take them to victory.  Steve Hilton has become good friends with Vivek Ramaswamy, and now that Vivek has put his hat in the ring, Steve told us all at that West Chester event that he was planning to do the same in California, which provoked a long conversation with me backstage after he concluded his speech for Vivek. 

If you haven’t noticed Fox News lately, even they can’t ignore the world trend that eluded them for the previous decade as they wanted to turn more to the center and not be known as a right-winged network once Roger Ailes died.  The Rupert Murdoch kids are not conservative at all, and the wives of the boys wanted to take the station toward New York high society politics rather than conservative populism that was put forth by personalities like Glenn Beck, Bill O’Reilly, and Tucker Carlson, and it hurt them.  Then, their position against President Trump was outrageously radicalized.  Again, when discussing left/right politics, the “left” represents Karl Marx’s ideas.  The “right” represents capitalism.  So, being called one or the other is a more profound indication on the political scale of right and wrong, and Fox News was trying to move to the “left” while Roger Ailes had built the network toward the right.  It was not something Rupert Murdoch was politically inclined to, but it was popular, so he went with it as long as the channel made money.  But the kids don’t care so much about making money; they were more concerned with social status, so they made a bad business decision, parted ways with top talent at Fox News, and drove a wedge with Trump himself that they thought they could survive.  They falsely believed that they were the news, not that they reflected their audience, a common mistake everyone is learning from now that Trump is back in the White House.  Woke is out, and common sense is back in.  Even in NFL football, my favorite team, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, have reinstated their old coach, Jon Gruden, back into their Ring of Honor.  They took him down after a fake scandal was invented to drive him out of football over leaked emails Gruden had written.  The whole premise was that Gruden could be kicked out of the NFL just for thinking and saying something, and that trend has gone the other way, leaving the Buccaneers under this Trump administration to get with the program and to reinstate Gruden to their Ring of Honor. 

That’s kind of what has happened with Fox News, many of the people who were frequently on Fox News are now in Trump’s cabinet and are doing very well, and it has been good for Fox as a business and they are having to make decisions to step away from their commitment to left winged politics.  The Trump family was pushed away from the network before the election, but now they can’t get enough of Trump, leaving Lara Trump to have her own show on the weekends like Steve Hilton did.  So Steve, always an upbeat personality, talked to me about all this as Vivek was speaking in West Chester, and we talked about this trend, the kind of people Trump was building to extend his government beyond the reach of any critics and to destroy conventional politics on its face.  And specifically with California, everyone thought that Arnold Schwarzenegger was going to be a good Republican governor, but he turned out to be a RINO loser who could never stand up to the unions and ended up disgraced.  And at that point, California turned radical left and is currently miserable.  A prime time for someone like Steve Hilton to run and win the state and bring the fifth largest economy in the world back to sensibility.  Trump had a plan to make America Great Again, and that started by decentralizing the presidency and moving things back to the states where his hand-picked people would be running those states two years into this current administration, and through state competition, Trump was going to change the political landscape forever.

Remember when NBC tried to replace Trump on The Apprentice with Schwarzenegger because they thought the whole success of that show was a tough guy telling people they were fired?  Well, Schwarzenegger bombed, just as he did as governor because he was an actor, not a leader.  Trump is a battle-hardened leader who learned how to be successful in show business.  And these picks for governor positions are similar; they were privately successful but have learned to master the media to convey authentic leadership.  And Steve Hilton could do what Schwarzenegger or Gavin Newsom could never do in California.  Those personalities knew how to manipulate an audience behind the camera but were paralyzed regarding real-world activities.  And Democrats don’t have any other personality that can step forward and explain the massive failures that the people of California have suffered under Gavin Newsom.  So, another endorsement of Steve Hilton by Trump could easily carry him into a win there, too.  The world is changing for the better, and as I told Steve, you can see a pattern emerging that he is undoubtedly a part of.  And he would be great in California.  Like Vivek Ramaswamy, Steve Hilton is an excellent public speaker who can convey a message.  But more than that, he understands how to identify problems, which he always did on his Fox show.  And like many of the successful personalities on Fox, they need a chance to show their stuff on a political stage.  So, California won’t be left behind in all the fun regarding governor races in 2026.  I think it’s excellent, and the radical political left of Karl Marx won’t have a way to deal with it.  Trump endorsements are a new brand in politics that Democrats have no plan for, especially in states they have ruined, like California.  Once he announces, Steve Hilton is poised to win there in a big way.

A D.O.G.E. Savings Clock: Telling the story as the level of corruption seen in government employment continues to be uncovered

The Department of Government Efficiency will be known as one of the most important things ever done in government.  The amount of money wasted through government employment has been staggering.  And it has been so corrosive that it has set the bar entirely too low for the rest of the world, regarding expectations of what a job is supposed to be.  When Elon Musk sent emails to government workers asking them to name five things they did last week, many couldn’t. You can see a hint of the waste paid out for very little work.  I’ve been screaming about this for years, and people have been interested but very slow to react.  Only now that a Trump administration is willing to save money, and making money a theme of their administration, has something like a D.O.G.E. been an option.  Then, it would take a unique personality that was good at both digging up the dirt and selling it to the public, which is what Elon Musk is all about.  Of course, Trump let Elon Musk speak at his first cabinet meeting, where everyone at the table was excellent in their own right.  But for all of them, what Musk was doing with D.O.G.E. was the most important thing because it captured and controlled the narrative.  Nobody can defend the worthless nature of the average government worker, and now that so much waste is evident, we can see why many of them vote Democrat in elections: only Democrats are dumb enough to rubber-stamp so much waste and corruption.  Just in this first month of D.O.G.E., the numbers have been staggering.  For me, this was not surprising, but for many, there was an assumption that government workers were busier than this.  And when they can’t even report five things that they did that were useful, you know you could eliminate their positions, save the money, and not ever miss them.

https://www.usdebtclock.org/

However, we are at a saturation point.  At first, the reports were shocking.  But there is so much of it that everyday news of the amount of waste is starting to glaze over in the public’s eyes.  And I think there needs to be a D.O.G.E. clock, which is the opposite of the well-known Debt Clock that we are all familiar with, that shows the amount of debt America is racking up by the second, minute, hour, and day.  We need a D.O.G.E. clock that displays the savings stacked up in the opposite direction. Otherwise, people might forget or grow numb to it.  They need to see the big picture, and it should be on a sidebar on the X platform and Truth Social.  People need entertainment value in the reporting because the engagement level needs to be high.  While D.O.G.E. can’t actually control the amount of money being spent, Congress needs an easy understanding of what is going on to control the purse strings.  People need to quickly understand what their representatives need to be doing to control costs. Without a proper context, much of the waste that is being discovered will blend into the background noise.  What is needed is a D.O.G.E. clock that is easily referenced so people can see the score of savings as it is discovered and measure the length of the voluminous problem.  It’s one thing to shock people, and D.O.G.E. has, but it’s another to create information that substantiates permanent change.  Once the shock of something like this wears off, keeping that momentum going is a tough challenge unless people can be fed the information in quantities and formats they can digest quickly. 

I was talking to an old friend who was hardly a wild conspiracy theorist or crazy lunatic of political ideology the other day.  This friend, Susan Mclaughlin and I were at a political event talking about old times, the early days of the Liberty Township Tea Party where another old friend, Katy Kern had just passed away, and we were reminiscing about her and all the old times when the IRS came after us specifically in 2010 under the Obama administration.  And we were pinching ourselves that such a day 15 years later where something like a D.O.G.E. would even be possible.  I had been doing what D.O.G.E. is doing now with my blog site, but on a much smaller scale.  Now, there was Elon Musk, the wealthiest person in the world, empowered by President Trump to expose government waste on such a massive scale after all he had been through.  It was everything we wanted out of the Tea Party all those years ago, and we joked that Katy would have never believed it.  In those days, even today, I played the Elon Musk role, and people hated me and wanted to eliminate me.  Hearing Elon Musk talk about this issue recently on the Joe Rogan Podcast was interesting because I know what it feels like.  However, on a scale such as this, there needs to be a proper narrative because raw data will water down the effectiveness of the information.  There must always be a little show business to these things, and D.O.G.E. needs some daily glitter to help sell the story.

But as Susan and I continued to talk, neither of us ever thought there would be a day where all this government cost would be exposed on such a mass scale.  It was a dream many of us had but couldn’t see a path to get there.  I stepped away from the traditional GOP types several times over the years, and I was hoping through Trump back in 2015 that some of this might have been possible.  But what we see ten years later, in 2025, wasn’t on the radar.  However, Trump has earned the right to turn someone like Elon Musk into the point person for government waste.  And as the wealthiest person on earth who doesn’t care about his social status because he wants to live on Mars anyway, there couldn’t and wouldn’t be a better person who could deliver such a D.O.G.E. message.  And that’s what it was going to take.  The government had grown too big and too corrupt, and that started with low expectations of what government employment meant.  It should be an honor to have a government job, but it had grown into a monstrosity of horrendously wasteful spending where the value of money was thrown entirely out the window.  And now we have a mass culture of this kind of thing that has had to be dramatically reduced.  However, as this continues in the coming months, people need an easy way to measure the success of D.O.G.E. hour by hour, day by day, and month by month.  A D.O.G.E. clock would help people see the value of the savings narrative and drown out the crying voices of government workers who are losing their cushy positions with such low employment expectations.  Most government positions must be eliminated, and we will have a better government.  Those workers must be in the private sector and learn to compete.  To keep everything going, people must watch success easily and measurably.  Because regarding the amount of waste there is, we are only scratching the surface.

Elon Musk and a Gold Chainsaw: The destructive force of the D.O.G.E. flood of information is saving humanity

When Elon Musk is on stage at CPAC with Argentina’s wild president Javier Milei waving around a gold chainsaw like a madman, you know the dark curse holding back all of human civilization has been broken.  Never under any condition a year ago would such a bizarre concept be considered even remotely possible.  Yet there it is.  It really happened and they were serious about it.  Of course, the chainsaw was intent on cutting costs as Elon Musk has been leading the charge for cutting government waste spending in a dramatic way, and within a month, has caused a sensation worldwide.  The whole scene was like a screenplay that I would have written under the most fantastic considerations, only to have an audience confirm that everything was just too unbelievable to put into a movie sequence.  Even our wildest fantasies would never lend credibility to such a series of events, which can only mean one thing: that a curse looming over our lives all these years is finally ending.  I’ve been talking about this stuff for dozens of years; the amount of government waste from our progressive tax system and this flood of D.O.G.E. information is terrific, if not timely.  We weren’t going to make it much longer under the previous system, and as a response, now that Elon Musk has been red-pilled into this perspective that he showed off on stage at CPAC, the world will have no choice but to follow.  D.O.G.E is likely the best thing to ever happen to America and it started on day one of the new Trump administration and has been justified by every bad thing that was done to Trump, and anybody who got caught up on the bad side of politics because they wanted to stop the kind of waste that goes with every government project. 

When we talk about floods, we often think of the force of water pressure that carries away all the debris from a river valley and dumps it far away, leaving behind a fresh surface, as all the weak garbage of society has been removed.  Floods, like raging fires, can clean things up, even if their initial implementation is violent and destructive.  And for many people who have been working in government jobs with outrageously good pay and benefits, but doing very little to actually deserve it, this D.O.G.E. process is terrible and destructive.  But for Musk to parade around with a chainsaw and laugh about cutting away all the government waste is a much-needed revenge for every time some loser politician said to us that we had to pay our fair share.  We were supposed to dump all this money into the mouths of a bunch of lazy thieves and pay more of it to feed their worthless souls.  Elon Musk probably is the most burdened taxpayer on earth, paying more than anybody else.  But that’s not why he is doing this; he’s the wealthiest person in the world, can pay all his taxes, and still has more money in a lifetime than anybody could ever spend on themselves.  But there is one thing that money can buy that they don’t talk about in the Bible, regarding threading the needle of goodness.  Money buys personal freedom, and because Musk is a free person, he can express himself as a person broken away from this matrix of government oppression because of his wealth.  Trump, in many ways, is in the same position.  When they tried to destroy him, it was his vast wealth that saved him and put him in place to do what he is now as president, appointing people like Musk to lead D.O.G.E., which is ripping the top off government corruption for the first real-time in history, with dramatic effect. 

There is no way to put this Genie back in the bottle; now that it’s out, it’s here to stay.  The argument about paying more to a worthless, expensive government will never return because of this flood of D.O.G.E information from a Department of Government Efficiency.  Cost cutting is back in our daily dialogue, which seemed to be gone forever just four years ago when the world government proposed endless spending like there was no tomorrow.  The evil that fuels the beast of the kind of government that brought us the COVID lockdowns and trillions of dollars of debt is the one that steals our tax money and uses it for globalists’ garbage.  And that game ended the day that Trump was re-elected and then sworn in on January 20th, 2025.  I remember how immensely angry I was on a cold day in March just 5 years ago when COVID was starting to shut down everything and a friend and I were trying to go to lunch at P.F. Chang’s but couldn’t because they had closed the dining room over Health Department safety concerns.  For people who have seen me mad, I scared even them that day, and I swore to myself that I would punish every last person involved in keeping me from getting my lunch because it was an attack on me and my community and country.  And I wasn’t going to stand for it.  And apparently, I wasn’t the only one.  Five years later, the battle has turned in our favor dramatically, and what happens next will be magnificent and well-deserved.

The video I did for this article is an appropriate metaphor. I was speaking about this topic in a snowstorm next to the flooded Great Miami River, and that’s how these years have felt.  I was in a storm, and a mess needed to be cleaned up.  However, as a result, there was a flood that couldn’t help but carry away all the carnage from that battle.  And with just a month of D.O.G.E. with Elon Musk leading it, and President Trump doing what he has always done best, to use executive leadership to empower many people to do many great things, as he has done in his companies, and was featured on the television show The Apprentice.  All this wouldn’t have been possible without the element of revenge that gave us all more than enough firepower to shoot back at those trying to suppress us.  That day, I stood in front of P.F. Chang’s with my friend, angry at the closed dining room imposed on us by the Dr. Faucis of the world; the revenge tour of today is more than earned.  We don’t need to feel bad for this flood of information converting our government back into something useful, perhaps for the first real-time.  As bad as our enemies have been to us, both foreign and domestic, they showed their wrath.  They didn’t manage to kill us.  And now, it’s time for righteous revenge, which is what is happening now.  And everyone is involved this time, even Elon Musk.  Going back even further, when I was on WLW radio with Darryl Parks on those Saturday shows, we never thought something like Elon Musk running around on a stage at CPAC with a chainsaw would have been remotely possible.  Yet, there it is, and we have much more to look forward to.  It almost makes all our pain and suffering worth it…………almost.

It Takes “Big Balls” to Reform Government Efficiency: To have a job, high performance matters

To answer a question that has come up recently from government workers shocked by the DOGE exploits of a 19-year-old young man who is known as “Big Balls,” this debate is already too late to have.  The wasteful practices of the federal government and all the massive amounts of terminations that need to be made to make government much smaller and to push those workers into the growing private sector employment will not be fought in the courts, as many hope.  It will be fought in public relations.  For instance, the poor-performing government workers at USAID will not be able to hide behind polite society and continue to underperform for the American taxpayer without exposure any longer.  I’ve been warning about this day for decades, and here it is.  Everyone was told, and they chose not to listen.  So, don’t be surprised when some wiz kid that Elon Musk hired right out of high school can come in and eliminate many government jobs with the push of a button on a laptop.  Nobody in the world is better at finding overachieving engagement from employees than Elon Musk right now; he has been very successful at finding those types of people at Tesla, SpaceX, and just about everything else he has touched.  And, of course, we see the same practices from people like this: Edward Coristine, the young man who has the world melting down as he calls himself “Big Balls.”  Well, it takes a lot of guts to step into a very corrosive work culture with the power of government behind it and tell them all that they are worthless and that they need to go.  They have been underperforming, and in the case of USAID, the Pentagon, and many other places that DOGE will be analyzing for President Trump, if you want to be great as a nation or at anything, you can’t accept underperformance.  There must be standards that define winning, and employees must meet or exceed those standards.  But coming up short was never going to be acceptable.

I’m not surprised that Musk has hired many bright-eyed young people to perform these analysis jobs, such as in the case of Edward Coristine.  I know many young people like this “Big Balls” kid.  They remind me of the old hot rod culture we used to have in America, where kids coming of age to drive could get their hands on an old car and hot rod it up so they could race on the weekends.  That kind of car culture has been taken away from kids so they have turned to computer coding.  Getting computers to do things better and faster than stock options right out of the store is what many kids like Big Balls spend all their time thinking about.  Elon Musk has given those kinds of kids homes in his companies.  They can take their passion and put it to good use right out of high school.  So, they end up with a pure view of the world that makes things easy to see.  Edward Coristine has an advantage as a young person who has not yet learned to fail.  Many people who have failed a lot in life seek a government job to hide those failures even from themselves, and they hope all their lives that nobody notices.  So, government employment has become a joke over time, and nobody feels confident in criticizing it because the power of the government might crush them for doing so.  I’ve been through all that myself, where I have been very critical of the government and have seen its wrath firsthand.  Not that it did them any good.  But I can see why Musk has people like Big Balls on his team.  It takes a person who has not lived long enough to accept failure sometimes and the ambition to change the world without learning to hold back so as not to hurt other people’s feelings to walk into a roomful of government employees and tell them they are all worthless and could be removed immediately and all their jobs could be done in the corner of the room with one guy and a second-hand laptop.  It takes Big Balls to be that honest.

I have received a lot of hate mail these last few weeks, much more than usual, which is usually quite a lot.  But the hate comes in the form of an almost mirror mirror on the wall complex where they are trying to convince themselves of their point more than me.  They think government jobs are protected and the courts will protect them from the realities of performance measures, a standard labor union fantasy.  Through mass collectivism, they can be insulated from the rigors of reality.  But of course, I say to them, generally politely, that these fights won’t be conducted in the corrupt courts, but in the realm of public opinion.  The next time we get to a government shutdown, for instance, and Congress has to vote for more appropriations, how are they going to do that when it is a PR nightmare now that people know how useless a lot of these government workers are?  They aren’t worth the money wasted on them, and the fear of continued services lost because those employees aren’t there will be removed. 

The low-engagement people will lose whenever you have a high-engagement culture fighting against a low-engagement culture.  You can’t fight against people who work 7 days a week, 24 hours a day because they love their job with people who barely work 8 hours per day, 5 days a week, even if they still report to the office, which many of them have been working from home.  Those low-engagement people will get slaughtered in the process, which DOGE brings to the table.  Not just in the one young man, Big Balls, but in many like him.  And behind him is a vast army of like-minded people who don’t want some stuffy adult government worker culture holding back their future from them.  They have more than a few reasons to be angry about how they approach their job of performance revolution.  If people are going to be in a government job, we always expect performance.  Not to hide behind some social constructs like a worthless college degree in basket weaving so that they could get into one of these government union jobs and sit on their butts for the next thirty years until they retire with a ridiculous benefits package for essentially doing nothing that whole time.  Those days are over and have been for many years.  But it’s catching up now because it took people like Big Balls to expose how useless those government workers were.  They need to be removed from that comfortable, expensive position and put into the private sector, where they must compete for a job every day.  And if they fail there, it is because in competition, they didn’t make the team.  If you want a great country and economy, you have to make it so that the people doing the work are the best.  And those who don’t work so hard are not just sitting around milking the system from the taxpayers who worked so hard to provide the funds.  Regarding Big Balls and the kind of people Elon Musk typically surrounds himself with, they are not losers who have learned from society to lose.  They are rebelling against that premise, which I think is fantastic.  This is why I have been a fan of Musk for a long time.  And I love what he is doing with DOGE.  We don’t want losers doing these government jobs; we want winners.  And the best way to do that is to put people in place to analyze these jobs who have not yet learned to lose.  Big Balls has yet to learn how to lose, much to his credit.  And we need in the world a lot more people like him.

The Tariff’s on Mexico, Canada, and China: Stopping the looting of Marxist countries and their unearned merit

Let’s do some basic math to understand the genius of Trump’s economic proposals of using tariffs to replace internal taxation, and to put the wealth that America generates back to the people who make it, not the leeching socialists, communists, and Marxists who have been living off America for over a century with unearned merit.  President Trump is talking about getting rid of the ridiculous Jekyll Island progressive income tax system that was devised in 1913, which generates around 2.4 trillion dollars a year.  The new proposed tariffs for Mexico and Canada are around 25% to deal with a trade deficit of around 200 billion dollars for each country.  DOGE is discussing cutting around one trillion dollars from the budget, which I think is a very conservative start.  There is much more to get, but it’s a good beginning.   And with China, Trump is imposing a 10% tariff on top of an already maintained limit of roughly 10.1%.  So there is a long way to go to get all these countries up and over 20%.  And we haven’t even started talking about Europe, specifically the EU, and the lack of support they all have poured into NATO, which we have almost funded at 100%.  Socialist economists, just about everyone coming out of the university system, can’t get their minds around this.  But essentially, enough money would be generated to take America back to wealth levels before the creation of the Fed and the Internal Revenue Service.  Enough money will be generated to create an External Revenue Service, allowing us to eliminate the federal income tax and replace it with better revenue generators. 

The problem with Jekyll Island was that it was created by very wealthy people who were globalists in their assumption about where the world was headed, and it essentially planned to use the United States to fund a one-world government off the backs of Americans.  And even if America were left a carcass in the end, it would be, from the socialist point of view, for the greater good.  And that’s where we find ourselves today.  Only, they never planned for Americans to ever put someone like President Trump in office with a promised platform to undo it all.   I think the Jekyll Island participants were trying to do what they thought was right when they came up with the Federal Reserve and the Progressive Income Tax system.  But most murderers could also justify their crimes in the same way.  It sounded like a good idea then, but upon reflection, over a century later, it was a disaster.  And we’re tired of it.  What Trump is talking about doing is brilliant and well-needed.  It will be earth-shattering for the world.  It will cause some short-term disruptions in the supply chain and profit margins.  It will drive up prices a bit, but that’s OK.  There are a lot of costs that will snap into shape quickly, and people will be pleased with the result.  We have needed as a nation to cut ties with all these socialist and communist countries who, by design, were set up to loot and pillage American capitalism to choke it off and destroy it and call it good, friendly international relations. 

Watching Justin Trudeau speaking from Canada about the pending tariffs was quite a spectacle.  That Canadians would cry over tariffs from America, which would undoubtedly be painful for them, indicates how out of touch they have always been.  They have existed off the good work that America has produced, which has allowed them to spread Marxism to every corner of the planet while not paying the price for too much-centralized government.  In many ways, Mexico has enjoyed the same liberties, which is why the country is run essentially by drug cartels.  Their trade imbalance with the United States has allowed them to make bad economic decisions because if they stumbled and fell, it was the United States that always picked them back up.  It is through the theft and looting that China has gained superpower status from emerging as essentially a third-world backwater armpit of a country, as it was during World War II and would have easily been conquered by Japan if America had not intervened.  The same people who put together the plan for Jekyll Island are the same type of investors who propped up China to become a world power of dominant communism and the global, centralized government model.  And these efforts are over a century old, but they didn’t just start there.  They emerged with the Marxist movement as soon as transportation allowed for easy travel and communication from country to country.  Globalism planned to loot off the success of America, steal American wealth, and redistribute it through centralized government to every corner of the world.  That is the hard fact of centralized banking and their intentions at Jekyll Island.  It was an early form of predatory lending to destroy the host for some lofty investment in social construct.  China didn’t earn its wealth; it was created by the very same global investors who purposely tried to destroy America without firing a single shot in a military campaign.  And President Trump is doing as he promised he would upon re-election; he’s stopping the carnage. 

America’s best years were around 1870 to 1913.  After that Jekyll Island mess, everything started going downhill from there.  And it is back to those policies that President Trump is proposing to return.  This is the period of western expansion, gold coming out of the west, railroads, and great optimism.  It’s why progressives want us to think of that period as an imposition on the American Indian.  At that time, boatloads of Marxists were stepping off ships in New York from Europe and trying to convince everyone what a brilliant idea Karl Marx had.  Because Americans were personally wealthy, compared to other places in the world, they could afford to listen, and the poison was injected into our political system, which has stayed there for more than a century now.  However, President Trump is finally starting to remove that poisoning from our political and economic systems.  And it will happen quickly because the value of what is made in the world primarily comes from America—and consumed.  So goes America, so goes the world.  It might take a minute to untangle the mess given to us.  However, Trump’s tariffs are the first step toward a much more excellent economic recovery package.  Not one that looks at the 80s and wants to replicate Ronald Reagan.  However, one that steps back to the 1870s, the period of Reconstruction, where more people of all places and colors could elevate their lives through personal wealth than had occurred at any point in history.  The economy Trump is proposing to build and do it quickly will be the greatest that history has ever seen anywhere in the world at any time.  But best of all, these countries getting tariffs to cover trade imbalances are all losers who have adopted Karl Marx’s thoughts about economic development.  America is turning away from that garbage, and it will force those other countries to do the same, or they won’t be able to compete.  They have avoided that fate up until now because America funded their communist fantasies.  But with Trump’s moves, that isn’t happening anymore.  And that is great news ahead of an exciting future.
