The Jezebel Bonnie Blue: What’s so sad about 2000 men who would have sex with her

Let me start by saying that there is nothing Bonnie Blue could do, which would cause me to want to indulge in anything with her, least be one of her latest losers who have such a low self impression of themselves that they would trade away all their integrity for a 30 second sex session on one of her latest conquests.  The OnlyFans pornography spokesperson has been up to no good for a long time, and is positioning herself socially as a modern Jezebelle, deliberately trying to assault the natures of the human race for her own power and control.  Her latest sex stunt intends to be sleeping with over 2000 “people” in one day.  She recently slept with over 1000.  The former corporate recruiter, Tia Emma Billinger, is a disaster of a person who is doing what people like Madonna did before her to appease evil in the name of exploitation of human necessity and a culture’s lack of ability to control itself.  Any man who is willing to share a woman is a pretty major lowlife.  But even worse is a man who will stand in line to indulge in sexual activity in front of other people and to surrender all integrity to personal pleasure, throwing away intellect for the simple effort of bodily indulgence that lasts a fleeting moment, when the memory of it lasts forever.  Bonnie Blue as her porn name goes, intends on June 15th of 2025 to sleep with 2000 humans, men, young barely age kids, and even girls.   I find her disgusting, and if she stripped naked and lay down in front of me, I would step over her without a pause, as all men should.  But unfortunately, the biggest problem isn’t what she’s doing, it’s that there are easily 2000 people who will gladly indulge in this mess that is the real problem, and it’s what the 25 year old porn star wants to exploit in society, for all the same reasons evil has always worked in the world, to desecrate the concept of goodness so that chaos and malicious behavior can control the human race through animal like temptations. 

Psychologically, there is a lot wrong with Bonnie Blue; she comes from a broken family, she has never known her real dad, and was raised by a stepfather.  Her birth mother is supportive of what Bonnie Blue is doing because she is making a lot of money at it, and that power has caused her functioning parents to carry her business cards around and help where they can to promote these sexual publicity stunts.  She is only 25 years old and has come out of a recent divorce with her long-time boyfriend of over ten years.  And apparently, he also works in the background supporting her, although you can imagine how difficult it would be to see her so loosely indulging in her sex practices.  Sex is a value system, and when you are involved in a relationship with someone, typical sexual expression is exclusive, to show that you value the relationship with that person.  So what Bonnie Blue is exposing in the people around her is her flamboyant sexual personality which ultimately comes from a desire to control the world around her, even if desecration is the way to do it, and people who have very low personal standards will still associate with her because she’s making a lot of money doing what she’s doing.  Her basic premise is that sex is something everyone does and that everyone should do it, and she should and can make a lot of money while doing it, is a justification for something much more sinister lingering in the background—the essential social covenant to restrict animal behavior in our lives in favor of intellect.  There is nothing more creepy about a person who will throw their entire life away for something as common as sexual pleasure.  Sex might be a big deal to someone who is just out of puberty.  But by the time you are 25, it should be like brushing your teeth.  There are a lot more interesting things to think about and if you aren’t, you have something broken inside you.

A corporate recruiter is a personality I know very well; it’s the kind of person who is easy on the eyes, the kind you send to trade shows to hand out business cards.  And while having sex appeal is one thing, sexual indulgence is entirely different.  To commonly agree that a beautiful woman can bridge a business transaction with a foundation of agreement, to get people from various business perspectives to see eye to eye on something is not the same as everyone taking off their clothes and taking a turn with Bonnie Blue, with all social pretense thrown out the window.  She is a creation of a pornography culture created by world governments to control mass population through sexual exploitation.  With porn being so easy to get, the apparent goal is to make it so easy to suppress human ambition to the limits of the control groups.  And Bonnie Blue is making a lot of money because she is helping them do it.  Under that measure of cash, the value of it reflects the value of the people involved.  We can say they are disgusting because they will do anything to make money, whether that is Bonnie Blue herself, her mother, her ex-husband, her stepfather, or countless friends who are tagging along.  Listening to her talk, Bonnie Blue reminds me a lot of Gene Simmons from the rock group Kiss, when he stepped away from being a schoolteacher to indulge in acting like a demon on stage, spitting up blood and breathing fire during rock concerts.  Desecration of a Christian culture is their real motivation.

Without question, I think lots of things have let down the young girl, Tia Emma Billinger, in her life; she has daddy issues and a circumstance of major sex addiction.  However, that’s not enough to excuse her behavior.  Society has let her down, and this method of hers of sexual conquest is an apparent attempt to control that disappointment by embracing evil to the point of manipulating it sexually.  When 2000 people line up to have sex with her, she is trying to keep that disappointment in front of her instead of being a victim of it.  She is trying to desecrate the creation of a family by encouraging dads to cheat on their wives and girlfriends for Father’s Day, and for fathers to share her with their sons.   Ultimately, she couldn’t have a good family, or a good dad, or a good husband, so she is going to destroy it for everyone else.  At 25 years old, she can’t know much, yet she has surrendered all integrity for some short-term money to cover emotional feelings she has about being let down by her own family, and she is turning to the most powerful weapon the world has ever known to do it: sex.  And to throw it around so recklessly is a purposeful destruction of our social construct.  And I would say to anybody thinking about it, don’t.  You should feel more self-esteem in yourself than to spend even one second with Bonnie Blue.  Or pornography in general.  There are a lot of women and a lot of kids who need strong father figures in their lives, and they’d love to know that the men in their lives would never stoop so low as to be seduced by Jezebels like Bonnie Blue.  It’s not a desecration of the Bible culture that Bonnie Blue is exploiting, but rather, the reason that we despise such characters in a biblical context, because we know they are working evil in the world.  And there aren’t enough strong men to stand up to that evil, as presented in the form of a seductress of sexual exploitation.  Even when they know better, they can’t help themselves.  I know what I would do.  It’s a shame that there aren’t more men who share the same sentiment.

I was surprised to learn that Bonnie Blue wasn’t in her mid-thirties or even early forties.  By her appearance, I would not have guessed that she is only 25 years old.  Therefore, it is not a wise decision to throw her life away for such a short-term gain, as her blooming flower is quickly wilting, and she will have nothing to show for her life very soon.  That is the fate of Madonna now, who behaved similarly and is now a laughingstock.  But you cannot abuse yourself the way Bonnie Blue is, with such grotesque sexual exploits, and come out of everything well.  She might have a lot of money and fancy sports cars to enjoy in her young years, but the rest of her life will be a joke, and the people she hurts with these antics will cheer on her destruction.  And she won’t be the first or the last to make this mistake.  Appealing to the insecurities of people’s animal natures is a very evil thing to do, and to exploit it is easy.   What is difficult is to make intellectual decisions that turn away from an animal nature, and it is that which makes a life worth living, as opposed to just indulging in pleasure, and going by way of dust back into the earth in death.  Intellect is the immortal aspect of living, and once you have thrown that away, a life is no better than dirt.  And that will be the legacy of the porn advocate, Bonnie Blue.  Much quicker than she realizes, because the effects are already showing, and she will be very embarrassed with her life sooner than she is planning for.  And all those who fell for her Jezebel trap, which will be many tens of thousands of suckers.

Getting Rid of the Wolves of the World: The perfect family

It comes up because holidays traditionally are times when family and friends gather.  And this year, for many reasons, I received a lot of criticism from many people for my family-first approach.  And to be blunt about it, which I usually let slide because we only see some of these people for a few hours each year, this year a lot of vacant people were very critical of me.  But, as I mentioned regarding the new baby in my family, who is my fourth grandchild, there are many people who see happy and successful individuals and, by nature, want to associate with them by default.  However, I don’t like to see my immediate family exploited by people who invest a lot less in building good families. For me and the people in my immediate family, we put a lot of work into it every day.  Much more work than most typical families do.  My wife, for instance, will do anything for her family, or, to put it another way, for her immediate family, including her kids and grandkids, and even the spouses who come with them.  And I work like a madman to make sure that my wife can dedicate more than 100% of her life to that kind of endeavor because I think that is the most critical job in the world, being a loving, and dedicated mother and a patrilocal leader that the next generation can look up to, and emulate while nurturing their traits.  It’s pretty hilarious when people who don’t put in nearly the amount of work that we do insist on sharing my family with a bunch of derelicts who want pictures of everyone with them standing next to them for their Facebook profiles.  They want the looks of a happy family without doing the work.  Given our busy schedule, we often make decisions about this or that, and those who were left out of the process were upset and critical of me, which doesn’t fly.  This year, because we were so busy, we skipped one of the holiday events that had at the center of it a crazy lunatic who is on her fourth husband, has been getting and encouraging her kids to get tattoos, she smokes dope, and her husband is in jail for at least decades over sexual molestation.  And that idiot wants to be in a picture with my wife and kids just to call it a happy family?  I don’t think so.  We don’t waste our time on people like that for a good reason. 

I wouldn’t say I am not compassionate to people who have spent over 50 years making terrible decisions, and that they have to live in that bag of bones they call a body for the rest of their lives, I might feel a little sorry for them.  However, as the leader of my family, I put in the work at a level that I don’t see anybody else doing, and it shows.  For a good example, even though it’s something I consider private, I am posting a video of a recent ghost hunt my family did at Old Man’s Cave in Hocking Hills, Ohio.  I share it because I think of it as the perfect family environment for everyone involved, and we do things like this all the time.  Most people, like the person I described, and those around her, do not come close to building good families.  That train wreck of a person, my wife and I tried to help when she was younger.  She was always a mess, and she would take it out on her kids.  We’d tell her not to hit them in the head as a way to demean them when punishing them.  She took it personally and would be upset with our criticism, especially since it came from me.  And she has always tried to do the opposite of whatever I told her, purely out of spite.  So it’s no wonder now her life is such a disaster. 

However, choices have consequences in life, and many people no longer know what a good family is supposed to look like.  They don’t know what a good person is supposed to be, let alone a family full of them.  However, in my family, I would say that my wife and I put in significantly more effort to create a good family, and it shows.  And a lot of people who don’t put in all that work grab on to them like life rafts in a raging sea for their own benefit.  It might help them out, but it pulls down my kids, and I don’t like it, and I let people know about it.  So if they get upset, that’s fine.  I might write an article like this to explain it.  I wouldn’t say I don’t care at all, I at least care that much.  But you can’t bring people into a family setting like that broken person, with all the connections to her broken life, and expect everything to be okay.  You can have compassion for those who are broken.  But you can’t let their bad decisions cascade into the lives of people who still have a chance.  My policy is that if we are swamped, we prioritize social engagements where all the participants are genuinely engaged and have something to give back, rather than taking from us and leaving us feeling depleted for weeks afterward.  We avoid looters who only care about the pictures so they don’t feel like such failures in life.  But for my family, it’s like crawling through the mud only to find that there isn’t a shower at the end of it, and it’s hard to get clean.  We get nothing out of it but getting dirty.  And we don’t like getting dirty.

It’s not usually a problem worth talking about.  But this year, because we have a new baby in the family, and because of the holidays where people invite us to come, but we don’t, and they get mad about it, I get the blame for having standards that are too high for them to live up to.  They say that I am a super controller and that I keep my family hidden away on an island.  We don’t send our kids to public schools to interact with other delinquents, and since I’m the leader of the family, I get the blame.  But I say to them, don’t live bad lives and be a bad example to my kids and grandkids.  Yes, my kids are adults now and can make their own decisions about things.  But they care what Dad thinks, and I let them know the truth and the whole truth to help them make decisions.  And they usually make the right choices.  However, those who make a poor choice often become upset that I point out what a loser they are, and that I judge them, which, according to them, I shouldn’t.  And as said to me over the Memorial Day weekend of 2025, “Jesus said not to judge.”  And my comment was, “Well, that’s fine for Jesus.  But look what happened to him, they hung him on a cross and killed him.  That’s not going to happen to me.”  And ultimately, if you are leading a family, they count on you to be there for them at all times.  Not just to send text messages a few times a year and to show up for family pictures on holidays.  You can’t just appear to be a good person; you have to be one.  And you can’t use money to hide what garbage you are as a person, and expect people not to see it.  I see everything.  And I offer advice to help people have better lives.  And if they don’t listen, that’s on them.  But don’t expect me to open my doors to the wolves of the world.  My policy is to shoot them on site, because if left alone, they will eat all your children.  And that doesn’t make an outstanding leader in a family.  Some of the people who are most critical of me at this point in their lives let the wolves into their house.  And the consequences are obvious and can’t be undone now.  I can feel sorry for them.  But that doesn’t mean I have time to waste on them, especially if they showed me in the past that they won’t listen anyway.

To put to rest a popular misconception advocated by Hillary Clinton and other progressive, anti-family global communists, it doesn’t take a village to raise a family. It takes two parents, a man and a woman, who are long-married and keep as many corrosive elements from social decay away from the growing minds of children. And encourages the adults to live happy, and healthy lives. And the village can’t do that. Only strong parents and great examples can. If left to society as a whole, it will destroy all in its path, 100% of the time. In nature, life consumes life, and society will sacrifice your children to the chaos of the universe. Stopping that process is an intellectual decision, that only humans seem capable of performing. Which allows a person to grow in ways that otherwise, would never be possible.

Don’t Ever Turn the Other Cheek: Seeing and knowing everything

I would say I’m an easy person to get along with.  As long as you don’t smoke pot, drink too much, cover yourself in tattoos and body piercings, don’t cheat on your spouse, don’t live off the government as a welfare recipient, aren’t a Democrat, didn’t compromise yourself in college hazing rituals, aren’t a sexual deviant, aren’t a godless heathen, aren’t a lazy loser, if there are any people left in the world at that point, I’m very easy to deal with.  But love is not promised, it’s earned, and if people abuse their relationship with me, I hold it against them.  And I have to say that because over the Memorial Day weekend, I heard at least three times that I’m a controlling lunatic who is too difficult to deal with.  I wouldn’t say that. Instead, the people complaining, from friends and family who expected something out of me over the holiday weekend, were unhappy at my lack of appeasement of their wishes.  And that comes down to my very rigorous schedule and people who clearly don’t respect it.  I don’t make time for people who have let me down.  And when I get to that point with people, I don’t even care enough to explain it to them.  I drop them, never to look back, and many people find that unsettling.  But to answer the statement that was brought up to me, that I am so hated that when I die, nobody will come to my funeral, I say, that is fine.  I don’t lower my standards for anybody, and if nobody comes to my funeral, which I have no plan to attend anytime soon, I’m okay with that.  I don’t think it’s important to be liked in the world because to do so, you have to compromise to the weaknesses of others.  I’d rather be alone in the world and have nobody come to my funeral than to lower my standards in any way. 

And to that point, I have instructed my wife that should such a day ever occur, to burn my body and disperse it somewhere so people can’t spit on my grave and have access to me in any compromised way.  I don’t talk about it much.  People wonder what it’s like to be as opinionated as I am, and how it works out.  I would say it isn’t easy at best.  But it all comes down to expectations, how people manage their lives, and whether I choose to make time for them when they want me to.  But here’s the thing: nothing is done in the world that I don’t understand, especially regarding people.  I know all the causes and effects of why people do what they do.  Nothing surprises me.  I see through every scheme, deceit, and misplaced non-verbal communication.  I know everything they try to hide from the world, every wart on a person.  Call it a gift I have from God.  To what purpose can I use it to some good enterprise? It would be easy to abuse that talent.  It takes quite a lot of discipline to keep a skill like that pointed toward justice.  But when you have that ability, people can’t snowball you.  And when it comes to family engagements, where many people just haven’t lived very good lives, and as a result, they aren’t very good people, I see and understand why they do everything they have done and they shouldn’t expect a free pass from me. 

I genuinely let people live their lives the way they want to.  But when they show me they don’t care what their actions do to my loyalty, I show them that I care so little for them that I’ll drop them off the earth without a second thought.  That is a long-standing policy I have, and it wouldn’t bother me if it resulted in nobody coming to my funeral or inviting me to do things.  However, that is not the case; I have too many people in the world who want me to do things with them, and my phone never stops receiving text messages and emails from someone wanting something from me.  But the same thing has been happening to my immediate family, and the kind of advice I give them about people in the world.  When my family members ask me what I think of this and that, I tell them.  I tell them everything, and it turns out to be painfully right every time.   And that makes people trying to do bad things in the world very upset that they can’t operate in the shadows, because I so easily shine light on everything.  And when they can’t manipulate people I care about easily, they get angry with me for removing the illusion they have built their lives around.  I don’t go out of my way to do it.  But if I’m asked, I tell it all.  And it’s always right.  Call it a gift from God.  And I use it effectively and in the way that God designed a skill like that.  But saying that, I’m not like Jesus, I don’t turn the other cheek on anything.  I carry grudges for decades and never get over things when bad things have been done to me.  And I’m not about to start doing so. 

There is a long line of very parasitic people.  I would say most people are.  And when people I care about ask me what I think, and I warn them to watch out for people who want to associate with them because they want to loot off their essence, because they are good people and those looters aren’t good people, to beware that they don’t take your soul away from you.  Always manage the eternal component of yourself with the understanding that you can’t undo a compromised self.  And when people try to control people I care about, and my advice keeps it from happening, there will be a lot of anger.  Tough tootles.  If you don’t want the ramifications of that behavior, don’t do the behavior.  But there is nothing I don’t know about human nature.  And I have no cell in my body that seeks to appease people who have done bad things.  So if that upsets people, I don’t care.  I never forget.  I do hold things against people.  And I don’t turn the other cheek only to have it slapped again.  And if that makes me a bad person, I would say that the value system of the people who feel that way is all messed up.  Of course, a log being burned in the fire thinks the fire is evil.  I can live with that because there are a lot of people who have made themselves worthless so that they can easily be tossed into the fire to be burnt up and disposed of without a thought in the world.  And that might upset them.  But I genuinely don’t care.  People who have done bad things to themselves, I don’t forgive.  And I don’t ignore it when they’ve done it to me and people I care about.  Too many people have lived bad lives, made bad decisions, and wished to hide those things by associating with good people to keep their conduct concealed with mass collectivism.  But that doesn’t work with me.  Never forget, I see everything.  I can read the contents of people’s souls, and I know what’s really there and I use that information with great success in life.  That might make people very angry that I can do that.  But they can only blame themselves for being bad people.  You can’t hide it with money.  With community service.  Or snacks at a family gathering.  I don’t have a tolerance for bad people, and yes, I do judge and judge often.  I never signed up for this stupid notion of not judging people.  That is a dumb political position created by bad people to hide their conduct from the world.  I have the opposite view.  I judge and hold it against people forever.  And that might seem unfair to people who are too far gone. But they should have thought about that before they went there.  Don’t be a bad person, and we’ll get along just fine.

Hitting the Lottery: My feelings about family are closer to the Amish

This is going to sound bad, but I don’t care.  I’m not humble, and I have no plans to be.  When I say that my fourth grandchild was lucky to be born into the family she was, I mean it for how it sounds.  I always like to see little kids born into the world. And as far as I’m concerned, nothing in the world is more important than family.  Our job as human beings is to emerge from the void and to fill it with consciousness.  And long after the shell of a living body dies away, the spirit that emerges lives eternally for all kinds of purposes.  And even though that spirit has its characteristics and is immortal in its conduct, the experience of a physical existence profoundly shapes the content of that eternal character. As I visited one of my daughters in the hospital giving birth to my fourth grandchild, that was what I was thinking as I visited the hospital wing full of optimism, as other families were giving birth also.  And it was a generally happy floor full of hope for the future, and I enjoy places like that.  But as I was holding this new baby, I couldn’t help but think that she had hit the lottery relative to the other families on the floor.  Out of all the random chances of landing in a body that gave birth in such a family as she had, she was one of the luckiest creatures in the universe.  And it made me sad for the other little kids who will never get such an opportunity.  I wish I could be a parent or grandpa to more kids.  Because most of them have terrible families that cripple them usually before life ever starts to get going and its just not fair to them.

I say that because I don’t spend much time slowing down.  I live a fast-paced life full of high stress and chaos.  So a moment alone with family to talk to each other doesn’t come often.  But for us, a couple of holidays are the best; the Fourth of July and Thanksgiving give us great moments that carry us through the rest of the year.  There are many more throughout the year, but those two are benchmarks that we value more than others.  And they are usually very positive experiences.  But when a new child is born, of course, that is an even rarer occurrence, and we take those kinds of things very seriously in my family.  Because we like life and all the opportunities that come with it.  I want kids more than the average person, and I like them a lot until they start showing signs of becoming adults, and if they start taking on the signs of becoming just another loser in the world, then I lose my enthusiasm for them.  I can’t say I like people, so when kids trade away their childhoods for adult behavior, I think they give away a fortune, and the rest of their lives are wasted.   But with kids, those dumb decisions haven’t been made yet, so knowing them is usually full of optimism.  And for my daughter and her new little daughter, there are many very supportive people in their family, and no matter how bad life gets, there is always room to grow and recover in our family activities.  But compared to the rest of the world and their approach, it almost feels like we are an Amish family.   I can relate to them much more than a normal family these days, because we have similar beliefs about the value of family. 

As I was pushing my granddaughter around the hospital floor to keep her entertained while her mother recovered a bit from birth, I had a good look at the other families also having babies.  Especially the dads.  And by their look, they weren’t ready to have a baby.  You could see the fear in their eyes as they held their newborn children at the tremendous responsibility they suddenly found themselves in.  Most of the dads having new babies were going to let down their families in some way, and they would never get the chance to understand what I’m talking about.  Most people probably won’t.  But to see that fear in the faces of people during such an optimistic time in their lives is sad to see, and I instantly feel sorry for the kids born into such a weak family with bad dads who aren’t up to the rigors of the task.  Most moms at least get a connection to a child who grows with them during the pregnancy.  But the men don’t get to have a baby or bond with it during the pregnancy.  So they aren’t so flat-footed when the baby is born; they have made at least some psychological transition that has prepared them for having a baby.  But the men must go deeper to get there, and most never do.  And the kids end up without a positive primary influence.  I am pretty standoffish with most people because I find them insulting that they don’t take the parenting process more serious, and I know that if they screw that up, then most things they do in their lives will also be screwed up and the kids will grow up to be bad people.  And most of those kids being born with my granddaughter don’t have a chance at a happy life, just by looking at their parents’ faces. 

I wouldn’t say it’s challenging to be a good parent or a grandparent, but unfortunately, most people fall short.  I was thinking about this recently during my birthday in April, when we were all at Hocking Hills doing a ghost hunt at Old Man’s Cave with the grandkids.  It was a lot of fun, and as we were doing it, it was nice to see the lights of discovery light up on the little kids’ faces, and many of those memories with family will shape them for a lifetime in everything they do.  And I enjoy my role in that process, and I always give as much as possible so they get the best opportunities out of it.  But most kids are born randomly into life, and they get the parents they get, which is usually not very good.  And most of the time, they are doomed before they ever get started, and that was certainly the case with all the kids born with my granddaughter.  There are always exceptions, of course.  But for the most part, most kids born that day were born into families where the adults raising them would disappoint them greatly.  And I feel sorry for the lack of chances they will have in life because of it.  I don’t think there is a better or more important job than being an adult mentor for a little, emerging child.  But what’s sad is that so few adults feel that way.  And when I have to see and talk to them, it just reminds me how few there are, and I feel sorry for the kids.  I want to help them all, but unfortunately, I can’t because of how families work.  But for my new grandchild, she hit the lottery.

The Value of Frisch’s in Cincinnati: Anti family efforts by lots of bad people show just what they want to do to America

The trouble started for Frisch’s restaurants in the Cincinnati area when they allowed a private equity acquisition from NRD Capital to bring in a bunch of woke ideas that started a chain reaction beginning in 2015 that essentially killed the business during the self-made government Covid crises that sealed the deal.  Sadly, Frisch’s has always been a big part of my family’s life; but these days, they are empty everywhere.  I saw the writing on the wall the day I tried to order a Coke, and they told me they had switched to Pepsi products.  That was in 2015, ahead of President Trump’s first term, and I shook my head at my wife at the impending doom that was to come.  Pepsi tends to support a client base that is more liberal than Coke, which has, over the years, marketed toward more traditional audiences.  And Frisch’s was always about respect for tradition, family strength, and the morning breakfast bar.  It has been very sad to see so many of Frisch’s restaurants closing, especially the one in Fairfield off Seward Road, and the one right in the heart of Sharonville.  A few are still fluttering along, but when I drive by them at 6:30 AM, they are as closed as a barn door to a stable full of wild horses.  A self-imposed exile caused by parasitic lending practices and people in finance who thought they could loot benefit from a solid Cincinnati tradition, when they set up a lease agreement that just financially crushed the restaurant chain that relied on family tradition and a community experience to survive.  Other similar restaurants, such as Denny’s, Applebee’s, and Red Lobster, have all been going through the same kind of challenges.  But adding to the problem were the Covid shutdowns, for which Frische’s never recovered, and changes in social discourse that has an anti-family slant to it, and what we are seeing now with the closure of over 40 locations, 20 of them just in 2024 alone, is the foolish and parasitic imposition of government and short sighted financial institutions destroying American business.

No people at the breakfast bar at 7 AM

I have unique knowledge about this decline as I used to work at Frisch’s as a waiter during the 90s, a period that had crushing difficulty for me.  I was going through a lot of what Frisch’s is now at that time in my life, with serious lawsuits and government trouble that were crushing.  A lot of people would not have blamed me for committing suicide, given the level of pain and suffering I was enduring at this time.  It was so severe and complex that Job from the Bible was fortunate.  People had no idea how I would survive or if I would.  Without being too ostentatious, I can say that it was horrible, and at the time, I saw no way out.  I was acting as my own lawyer in several lawsuits, which did not have a very good track record of success.  Looking back on it, believe what you want about God, but he was testing me, and I passed the test primarily by dusting myself off and becoming a waiter at Frisch’s while I spent the next five years digging out of that bottomless hole with extraordinarily high tips from a public who had come to like me quite a bit.  I was their area philosopher, and people would come to eat at the Frisch’s restaurant that I worked at on Fields Ertle Road to hear me talk and give them advice.  And I learned a lot about people during this critical time that I use daily.  And the wisdom I gained from all that crushing pain was better than all the gold available to the masses of humanity.  And thinking back on it, I couldn’t have had it any other way. 

I picked that particular restaurant to work at because it was where my wife and I went all the time as a young couple, and on the first day that my first daughter was born, coming home from the hospital, we ate there with her all cuddled up in a blanket on the table.  So I picked that moment to make a massive life recovery, and hustled back to health.  I put on a smile and a whole lot of hustle, worked all I could and I won my cases, fought off a lot of very evil people and I made a small fortune in unnaturally high tips because of my personality and the families who came to eat at the restaurant that I was working at to have me work their table.  They would ask for me at the front specifically.  I understood why Frisch’s was such a great place as a host to the family experience, and I wanted to help with that effort any way I could, literally being at the bottom of the barrel myself.  I learned that a healthy dose of optimism can carry you through anything, for a large part, that was the marketing plan for Frisch’s to provide a platform for the public to engage in positive community interaction.  It’s where people went to see their friends and neighbors and to have good food, which started with the Car Hop days, where personal automobiles fused with American lifestyles centered around freedom and independence. 

You can’t live in the past, and things do change.  But what happened to Frisch’s is a massive social breakdown where people don’t go out into the community for a shared experience anymore, and that is a government policy problem attached to the United Nations.  The breakdown of the family structure is very much a globalist trend that interferes with places of business like Frisch’s.  I was also so pro-family that my customers would give me their checks worth of tips to show their appreciation, tipping at a rate of 80% or more, with 100% not uncommon.  Rob Dibble, the former Reds pitcher from the Nasty Boy days used to stop by and eat at my station quite often and would leave me $100 tips for a ten-dollar check, to hear me talk.  People went to Frisch’s for the company and the food.  The globalism that attacked American ideas was against both things that migrated into our local community through hostile lending practices, leaving behind a lot of history and tradition. And Frisch’s and its excellent breakfast bars are now a thing of the past.  And the writing was on the wall when they switched from Coke to Pepsi in 2015.  It was too late when they tried to correct that mistake just a few years ago and return to Coke.  They had blown their market viability and been destroyed by forces that took it for granted that Frisch’s would always have its lights on.  And now people don’t do things as a family like they used to, leaving Frisch’s out of the consideration by a public that used to value those experiences and has not yet replaced the sentiment with other options in the marketplace.  This wasn’t a natural market-driven killing. It was the purposeful destruction of many hidden elements that are parasitic in nature and anti-American at heart.  And Frisch’s was, and whatever survives from all this, a very pro-American family gathering place that shows what the efforts of globalism always intended for them and us as a whole.  Without Trump, America would be just as Frisch’s is now, only a memory with empty storefronts and massive debts as a distant memory of what it once was.

Family is the First and Most Important Form of Government: The Truths of Vivek Ramaswamy

You might have noticed a theme with the incoming Trump administration.  It was very obvious at the Daytona 500, where Trump walked around the track with his granddaughter.  Or with Elon Musk bringing his children into the Oval Office to play while doing press conferences.  I told my very good friend, Senator George Lang, how I thought so much about how he and his wife work together so well and enjoy doing many things as a couple.  A lot of people don’t get to see that side of him, but George has a great family. They love their kids and are just good people from the ground up.  And that seems to be a constant theme regarding people I tend to think are doing a good job in government; they do a good job in their homes, starting there.  That was certainly the message with J.D. Vance at the inauguration, where his children were crawling all over the place during the parade ceremonies.  It was very nice to see.  As I was reading Vivek Ramaswamy’s new book Truths recently, ahead of a big event with him where he is going to announce he’s running for governor of Ohio, he spent a whole chapter on the topic of family and how important it is to the constructs of a good society and good government.  In almost every case, you can’t expect to govern other people well if you don’t have a good family life.  So more and more, the way to sell good government to people is to show everyone that you know how to run a good family, because it all starts in the home.  We have been lied to when it has been suggested otherwise.  To be Great Again, America needs to make families great again as the first layer of good government; from there, everything else flows forward. 

I tell my wife every year that it is her birthday, in late February, to which I always hold my breath and which I most look forward to.  I’m not crazy about the weeks between Christmas and her birthday.  I enjoy the holiday season–Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and the New Year.  There is a lot of optimism that the human race has created for itself during that time of year, and I do love it.  But once the cold of winter hits and there are several weeks of very short days of daylight, I sort of hold my breath for her birthday, which always comes after it, the optimism of spring.  So we usually do something fun as a family for her birthday as a mile marker through a winter hard won.  This year, we celebrated by going to the Fuji House at Bridgewater Falls, and we had a wonderful evening there as a family with my kids and their kids.  It was her pick; it’s an open hibachi-style Japanese place where they cook in front of you.  I get to do that a lot. I’ve been to Japan a few times recently, and they do a lot of that cooking style there, so I’ve seen it firsthand. I have to say, they do a great job at the Fuji House.  It’s the only place my wife wanted to go for her birthday dinner, and everyone had a great time together.  The little kids loved it.  My kids enjoyed the treat, as they work hard, and life has a way of chipping away at people in their thirties and forties, they needed the break.  So my wife’s instincts were correct on that particular place on that particular night.  One thing you always get with Japanese society, in any form, is that they are very family-friendly, and the Fuji House in Butler County, Ohio, is undoubtedly family-oriented, making it fun for everyone. 

As I was watching our cook doing his warrior-like slicing up of our food with fire dancing all around in front of us, I kept thinking about Vivek’s book, about Trump and his kids and grandkids, Elon Musk, J.D. Vance, my friend George and his wife Debbie and there isn’t any way to hide it.  Family is the first foundation for everything; you can’t have a culture of success without it.  Everything starts at home.  You manage your family well.  Only then can you think of managing anything in your community.  I know most of the trustees in the communities I work with, and I can say that in all their cases, family is essential to them.  Most of them have functional relationships with their spouses.  If you control that, you can think about state government.  Then, from there, the federal government.  And if there is anything left after all that, you can think about what’s happening in the world.  But never do any of those things at the expense of your family.  Family is everything, and any experiment from the past that has been said otherwise is a catastrophic failure, and we are paying for it now on many levels.  Sitting there watching our cook put all that well-prepared food on our plate for us to eat with chopsticks, I thought about all the great family moments we have had over the years, and really, those are the only things that ever mattered.  I’ve done many neat things, but time with our family has been the most important.  When I talk about good government and its needs, I always utter it from the perspective of a good family foundation first.

All suggestions otherwise have been wrong and should be viewed as an attack on our basic social structure.  Anything that attacks the pursuit of a happy family attacks the basic premise of values in that culture.  Thinking more about our own experiences, especially over this last decade, as we have traveled a lot as a family, usually with a caravan of RV campers, we have had many great experiences that indeed show up in the little children.  And that is the task of someone like Trump to give his grandkids an idea of what a good life should look like.  Otherwise, how would they know?  If you can’t have a good life at home with your family, how will you do it for community members, state, or nation?  That is what the borderless world people have gotten wrong from the beginning; they are trying to erode this essential Truth, as Vivek Ramaswamy calls it.  The government doesn’t start from the world as a global citizen and then work down to the family.  It’s the complete opposite, which is why Disney as a company has been failing.  They used to understand the family first concept.  But through radicalized politics, they tried to turn that basic structure on its head, attack the premise of family membership, and replace it with being a global citizen.  And that’s just wrong at every level.  So, I again enjoyed my wife’s birthday and dinner with our family to celebrate it.  There was a time not that long ago when we all got on a plane and flew to London to have her birthday dinner at Chef Ramsey’s premier restaurant in Chelsea, which was fantastic.  But in the scheme of things, Fuji House was better.  Not so much in the quality of food, but in the atmosphere.  The family-friendly environment there was just conducive to a good evening; many families there doing the same thing we were, and I saw a lot of evidence of good government in the home and people ready to take those values into their community, which was terrific.  There is hope for the world yet–through the children.  And if the adults let them down, that is a real tragedy.  And the signs of a future lousy government. 

We did it last year; I had just stepped off a plane from Japan.  And I was going to take our whole family to Disney World.  We were planning to spend a whole week at the Fort Wilderness Campground.  It’s a trip I had wanted to do before the grandkids got too old for Disney.  And I wanted them to experience it before the park started to fall off the rails due to their woke politics.  Since I was traveling late from Japan, the rest of my family headed to a little campsite in Georgia with their RV, and the agreement was that my wife and I would meet them there, just south of Atlanta.   I stepped off the 14-hour plane ride from Tokyo and literally got right into our SUV to pull our RV trailer to that Georgia campsite to catch up with my kids, who were already there, to drive 8 hours per day over the next couple of days.  And that evening, when we met up at a table set up between our two RVs, I brought them little treasures from Japan, and we had a great evening together, ahead of a week at Disney World and a Park Hopper pass to all four of their amusement parks for the week.  It was a wonderful day, the best we could ever hope for in a government experience.  Seeing it firsthand, I can say that I know what it looks like and what other people should be doing to get to similar happy places.  And it’s not up for debate.

The Eclipse of 2024 in Ohio: When immortality is observed in all its magnificance

I’ve seen eclipses before, but this one in 2024 was different, especially since it was close to where I live in Liberty Township, Ohio.  The totality band was going to be very nearby, so once we received a decent weather report and had the exact path agreed upon by analysis, we found a good RV campsite in Rossburg, Ohio, to set up a base and make a real thing of it.  My crew is very interested in those things, and it certainly made a difference that all three of my grandchildren are inclined toward intelligent things. Even at age seven, one of them is showing a Thomas Edison level of genius, so we wanted to make this a unique experience for them.  Plus, getting out the campers after a hard winter was a chance to stretch our legs a bit.  For an eclipse, the event was scheduled to occur between 1 and 5 PM on April 8th, with the totality of darkness happening around 3:07 PM.  So rather than wait in some parking lot for that specific event, we took our homes on the road and were very relaxed.  So relaxed that we stayed at that campsite for a good part of the week.  It was also my birthday on the 9th so we made quite a thing of it.  We got up on the morning of the 8th, ready for a front-row seat of a great celestial anomaly.  We didn’t have to get up and go anywhere to observe it, so already that was a good thing.  We had a nice breakfast at our campsite, the kids played fervently, and the adults had some raw downtime to talk in ways there was never time for, so we had a very nice experience. 

It was worth it; by the time the moon had blocked the sun 100%, there was a nice halo ring around the celestial bodies that blocked out most of the light from the sun, and the stars came out.  On all horizons, it looked like a sunset for about 50 miles in every direction.  But directly over our heads, it was essentially night.  I put a video up with speed advanced to see that narrow 4-minute period where day became night, and we had two sunsets on the same day.  That particular part of the world is indeed in God’s country. Our campsite was in a flat open area with no trees close, and our campers were essentially pointed in the direction of the whole event as if it were a giant IMAX screen put there for our entertainment.  For a last-minute campsite, the one in Rossburg was fantastic.  It had a couple of lakes with fish and a beach for the kids to play in, which was quite nice.  And for four minutes of totality, everyone could geek out on science and optimally enjoy the eclipse.  All my kids would be lucky to ever see an eclipse like that again in their lives, and we were happy to have the chance to share it together.  Life has so many moving pieces, and getting so many people together to do something like this is hard.  And the celestial show did not let us down.  Even I found the whole thing to be a bit of a miracle and a sensational opportunity to study science in the field and contemplate larger concepts.  The little kids, my grandchildren, were overwhelmed with the spectacle, which is what we wanted for them, and it was obvious that interests were sparked in them at that moment that would last a lifetime.

During the totality, I couldn’t help but think of Tecumseh when he famously predicted an eclipse and an earthquake along the New Madrid Faultline by St. Lewis.  I also thought of all the conspiracy theories that had led up to the eclipse as people tried to make sense of such a meaningful event to human minds.  For instance, why were their ten towns named after the Biblical Nineveh along the path of the totality in North America?  Did many of the Masons who organized these towns initially know this eclipse would happen mathematically, and they set fate to play host to some celestial significance rooted in ancient astrological belief systems?  What role did this particular eclipse play in Jewish rituals, and how planned were they for this event in 2024?  And what results were produced by the particle collider at CERN, which was supposed to have gone off at that exact moment of the totality band in America?  All that was playing in my mind as we watched the eclipse unfold.  Yet, for me, it looked purely like a regional thing.  We had gone to that location because at home, even though home wasn’t very far away compared to other places that we’ve gone, the whole experience was a regional one.  Obviously, celestial observers witnessing events discussed in the Bible would only be important to those experiencing even the most dramatic events.  Most people in the world wouldn’t even notice that there was an eclipse at all.  The sun would dim a bit, and if you didn’t have special glasses to look at it, you would not see the moon passing in front of it.  And wouldn’t even know what was happening, if anything at all. 

The world did not end, and after that event, I continued to think about how humans bring meaning to natural occurrences to attempt to understand the cosmic significance.  As creatures of nature, we tend to do that, where nature happens, and people may observe it, but the importance may not have any significance other than three celestial bodies interacting with each other, the sun, the moon, and the earth relative to their positions.  Suppose anybody hung around long enough over billions of years. In that case, our Milky Way galaxy will collide with a neighboring galaxy, and there will be all kinds of disruptive, likely destructive, celestial events on a grand, epic scale.  This eclipse was a regional thing that had harmless consequences and reminded all the humans watching it, that there was a lot more to existence that they needed to understand.  And that they attempted to bring meaning to the passage of the moon in front of the sun in very specific places in North America was an interesting observation of relativity, but not much else.  But humans have minds, and they think and observe. So many stories came to their minds saying that they were doing what nature intended them to do, to take nature and make meaningful the occurrences in a way that shapes necessity in interesting ways.  The ability to think was the most miraculous event that day, to see a celestial event and to bring human meaning to it as a greater cosmic significance.  We certainly enjoyed it; we wanted all the kids to have something important to think about and see as gloriously as possible.  And to create memories that would last for years, even longer.  There would be more eclipses, not in that part of the world, but they would happen.  But they would never occur under that collection of circumstances ever again, where meaning was created by the minds observing it.  And what is born of that meaning is better than nature for its own sake and is the stuff that makes immortality such a grand word.

What We Are Fighting For: Adventures that show more than curiosity

I don’t do it often, but sometimes the occasion is right, which is undoubtedly the case here.  I recently did a little article on one of my daughters who had just started a line of coffee that complimented her art business.  While doing the video for that daughter, I talked a bit about my other daughter, who, at that time, was at Loch Ness with her family doing neat things.  Out of curiosity, many people have asked me about elements of my personal life, including my kids.  They must not know what to think about the kind of children I would have raised, expecting something outlandish to come from me.  So, there is a lot of curiosity about the type of people who would come out of my family, not to take anything away from their attributes as individuals.  But to say the least, I am proud of my kids.  Life isn’t always easy, but they handle themselves well and are good people.  I expect that out of them, but given the various doubts about how to have a good family and raise good kids, there are many curious people.  While those questions have been coming in, my oldest daughter returned from her trip to Scotland with her husband and their son (one of my grandsons), and they cut together a nice video of their trip.  And when I say that, I’d say it’s not just a regular home video of their many adventures, but done with a professional flair with the idea of maybe starting a YouTube travel channel kind of show.  They travel a lot, their 7th trip of the year, and spent two solid months on the road going to various places.  Their trip to Scotland, much of it shown in the video, was several weeks in November and was interesting enough to show off here so people could see a bit about my family in a nonpolitical setting to satisfy their curiosities. 

I like my family, and if given a choice, we often travel together.  We were with her on most of the seven trips I mentioned that my oldest daughter had been on this past year.  My wife and I took a few trips, especially regarding competitive shooting schedules.  I have another daughter and more grandkids often included in these trips.  I prefer to have them all come, including their dogs, lizards, and whatever else is part of our family.  Just before the trip to Scotland, we spent the end of September together in Florida at Disney World.  Before that, I had just returned from Japan, which followed several other weeks in places like Mammoth Cave and Land Between the Lakes.  With all that I write here, it’s a small part of my life, as there is always a lot going on, and everything moves quickly.  But I think the pace and the amount of things we all do together showed well in my daughter’s video on Scotland.  My son-in-law and my grandson even excitingly contributed to the video, illustrating what a pleasant, healthy family experience should look like.  When I watched the video, it reminded me of what is essential in all these adventures.  And I was proud of them for living outside the box and showing what a good life and family look like.  Which, as a parent, is all you want for your kids. 

All my grandchildren are homeschooled by their parents, my kids.  And on these trips my oldest daughter views as homeschool experiences.  Even though they were traveling, they still had school on the road.  When they travel in their RV within the states, they often set up a class for a few hours per day in a little room while on the road.  In that way, education is always the key to travel, learning many new things, and treating every day like a field trip to an exotic location.  So literally, as my youngest daughter was doing a video with me about her new line of coffee, my oldest was at Loch Ness touching the water there, as shown in the video, which puts a bit of continuity to the various conversations where little bits of my personal life spill out for the audience to see.  All this reminded me of how inferior the public school experience is compared to what we do as a family.  It always reminded me how little we value the public education graduation experience, as my kids spent their senior years in high school in Europe.  They graduated, of course, but they left school early to get to living life, which has always been essential for me.  They never missed that public school experience, which has carried over into adulthood.  They are unique people, and I would argue they are much better prepared for life than most people coming out of the public school experience.  Additionally, my wife was an honor student in school until she met me.  When we were dating, I told her how stupid the whole school experience was, and she graduated early, just like her daughters, without going to her formal graduation with the cap and gown ceremony.  On the day she was supposed to graduate, she and I were on a road trip, traveling very fast on our own journey during a romantic getaway. 

The point here is this: people assume that my position on things, especially very conservative politics, might produce little monsters of anti-compliance. Instead, I would say my approach to parenting made very thoughtful young people who know how to get around safely in the world.  And to get up in the morning, always looking to expand their intellects.  It’s not always apparent as kids go through their biological progression, but once things settle into their thirties, you see what neat people they often grow up to be.  And in the case of my kids on that Scotland trip, I am very proud of them for being good people in a big world, showing that they are in control and not being swept away by it.  Traveling in that style is no big deal for them, and I think people would be interested in their travel channel on YouTube.  We indeed take enough trips to make it enjoyable.  That was the first time she approached the subject as a travel vlog with full commentary.  Which I thought was very good. But it reminded me of the skills it takes to live such a life and how grateful I am that we did not listen to all the noisy people who tried to get us to raise our children like all the other poor kids running on the treadmill of public school and going through the ridiculous motions of college life.  My kids shown in that video have been married for around 15 years, which often shocks people.  They are good, solid people with good jobs, a good work ethic, a nice home, and the ability to create a functional family.  And it’s nice for me to see them doing good things.  And for the curious who wonder, it’s fun for them too.

Marriage is Between a Man and a Woman, Only: Global governments and their war against family

As the same-sex marriage protections were passed in Congress, one common theme essentially said, “you have a right to marry whoever you love regardless of the color of your skin or the orientation, and it shouldn’t be controversial. Our nation was built on the notion of individual liberty.” Yet, and this is speaking from my personal experience, I’ve been married for over 33 years, and I can say that marriage isn’t about sex. You don’t get married to have sex. You get married to start and to raise a family. And it’s hard work. You get married to go into a partnership with another person that lasts for many years. You don’t get married just to get a divorce over silly disagreements, like one of the marriage partners doesn’t like the color of a new car that is bought. You get married to work out problems together and to teach future generations how to approach life. And even when all the kids are grown up and move away, you stay married, so there is a place for them to go on Thanksgiving and Christmas to recharge their batteries and continue fighting for the creation of their own families. In other words, the creation of a family is the first form of government in modern society, and we should do everything we can to protect it, nurture it, and respect it. And all that Congress has done with the passage of their same-sex protections act is desecrate the basic premise of family creation. Government sees the creation of family as a rival to their form of central government, which is the reason for their position, which is insulting to all those who endeavor to have a good family that starts with a good marriage. 

I’ve always liked the Bible, it is the foundation of law and order for western civilization, so it becomes very obvious when rivals to that law and order come along and attempt to erode away the foundations of that understanding. And the efforts to separate biblical understanding through the separation of church and state have really been about attacking the value systems of western civilization in order to create something else, something more “eastern” in its value systems. So a desecration of all that western civilization has been built upon is a deliberate strategy, and those participants reveal their intentions in doing so. That is clearly the crime of this lame-duck congress upon passing a bill of desecration intended for the American family. From every progressive front, our legal system, which encourages divorce, our entertainment culture that has sought to cheapen marriage to the silly vestiges of sex and sex only, forgetting that the purpose of sex is exclusively in the creation of children, not in the expression and pursuit of recreation. Or even the purpose of the internet, which seems solely to have been built to spy on people and to poison their minds with easy images of pornography to appeal to the animal natures of human beings so that they would be easier to control by centralized governments stripped of their primary purposes in life, which was to create good families, the first foundation of a stable society. The war against the American family, and families all over the world, has been going on for a long time by purposeful desecrators intent on eradicating the premise so that people would be vulnerable to the instigations of an all-powerful government that replaces the concept of mother and father so that children would all share the same home, the ultimate collectivism of communism, the China Model. 

What I like about the Bible are passages like this one from Deuteronomy 22:5 “The woman shall not wear that which pertained unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment: for all that do so are an abomination unto the LORD thy God.” To the kind of people who supported what Congress did on that same-sex bill, they would laugh at that statement and would call it old-fashioned and naive. But what they are really saying is that the notions of such divisions of recognition between the sexes have been successfully suppressed by progressive society, where the destruction of Christian ideas has been all but destroyed. And such Bible references are laughable and out of touch. Then I would say, as a person who has been married to the same woman for many years and raised kids and grandkids, that anybody who doesn’t live their life close to that Bible passage has no chance at a successful life in the creation of families, which is the point of the destruction in the first place. Progressives, global liberals, have always intended to eradicate Christian support from the laws of society so that they would not have to acknowledge the primary foundation of all government, which is the formation of the family. Government wants to be an organism of itself, and it doesn’t want to bend the knee to a family of any kind. Government wants to be like the concept of family in China, where the government is the ultimate mother and father, as a unisex tradition, and all of society are its children. And to perform such a desecration upon their primary rivals in the world, The United States, and in general, western civilization itself, the concept of a traditional family must go along with the Christian foundations which supported it in the first place.

When I was first married over three decades ago, I was surprised at how antagonistic people were to my ideas of marriage. Some really hostile people in my life were against the marriage. They had bit into the poison fruit of a progressive society that wanted to follow the rules being applied, and I simply rejected them. My idea of marriage was traditional and Biblical, with clear divisions between the role of men and women. My wife would be a stay-at-home mother and would dedicate her life to our children. I would do all the strong stuff and ensure the family always had what it needed. I did it if that required working three shifts a day, seven days a week. And even if that sounds like an exaggeration, there were several years when I had to do just that. And I did it without a second car, so I rode a bicycle to work so my wife would have the car to care for the children and drive them to school. You don’t complain; you don’t cry. You don’t bend the knee to the pressures of the universe. You fight back, you fight for the right to raise a family, and you let that family know that no matter what, you are a pillar that holds everything up so they can develop safely within your family. And even when they are all grown up, your home is a safe place for them to return to and always find their footing. Even when you are 90 years old and have been married to the same person for 70 years. You don’t get divorced over sex. You don’t spend your time wasting it thinking about some form of sexual discharge. You don’t waste your efforts on stupid stuff that doesn’t make a family great. And that is what a marriage is, and it’s hard work on a good day. And most of the time, it’s not fun and games. It’s picking a person to spend a life with and solving problems within a partnership, and sex is often not even a relevant question or consideration, nor should it be. Sex is for producing children and for that purpose only. We’ve made it into a recreation, and the government has wanted that to distract us from the goals of family, which they see as rivals for their pursuits of control. And that is why this Congressional push for same-sex marriage is an abomination to the American family and an act of war toward the sovereignty of every household that means our total destruction, and nothing less. And in my view, anything that does not promote family values and the sustainability of a family in any way is completely worthless to the human race.

How Will Electric Vehicles Pull RV Trailers: Climate religious fanatics want to get rid of gas-powered cars, but electric cars aren’t powerful enough for American lifestyles

Videos like the one shown of Castle Rock at St. Ignace, Michigan, would not be possible without the RV lifestyle that is such a big deal in my family. I like my family, my kids, the grandkids, the sons-in-law, my wife, and our dogs, I love it, and we make several trips a year, generally to some remote part of the country to see what is unique there and to return with some spectacular experience and good memories. Recently we took our various RVs to St. Ignace, which I considered an easy drive from Cincinnati. We’ve been on trips where we would do 600 miles per day, breaking camp in the morning and stopping many miles later only to pitch camp wherever that might be. And we would do that for days on end, especially traveling out West. We’ve been on trips out West where not only my whole family but members of the extended family were traveling together in a convoy of RVs, and it’s quite a cool way to see the world yet still have all the familiarity of home. Campgrounds for RVs are unique places with like-minded people who are there for all the same reasons, so the experience is usually always very good. It’s really a great thing to be able to take your home with you while traveling. But the St. Ignace trip to that region of America was what I considered close. We left in the morning and pitched our camp for dinner while family members trickled in at their convenience. And it was in that way that we were able to go see many interesting things in that local region, like Castle Rock, together. 

Usually, on these kinds of trips, I set up a little mobile office outside the camper because I typically get up way before everyone else. And at that little location, I have a little refrigerator and power for my computers, and I can also catch the news. So during that trip, there was a lot of talk on the news about electric cars and California imposing new rules that by 2035 they would make it so that only electric cars would be allowed on their roads. As I looked around from my little portable office at some of the big rigs, the Class As and Cs, and many large trailers like luxury yachts on wheels, I wondered how that would work. Obviously, the people saying such things about electric cars didn’t understand the “trailer” markets in transportation and how important they were to American life, or they just didn’t care. If you stand along a highway and count cars, you will find that about every 15th vehicle is pulling some kind of trailer, whether it’s an RV, a boat, or landscapers dragging around their lawn mowing business. Trailers are a big part of American life. And electric cars can hardly keep up with the needs of just one vehicle traveling more than a few hundred miles. The technology for electric cars isn’t even close to being good enough to hold a charge for a sustainable distance, let alone pulling  a trailer while traveling. When we travel with our RV, we get around 12 miles per gallon, which many would consider great. Some of the big trucks get under 10 miles per gallon, which climate activists find reprehensible. But Americans who prefer to travel with an RV are quite happy to pay for the bad gas mileage because it gets them off the grid enough to relax. There is nothing like stopping for gas and using your own restroom, getting drinks out of your own refrigerator, or doing like my wife and I did at a Cabela’s in Ann Arbor, Michigan, when we didn’t want to waste time on the road to eat at a sit-down restaurant, we just ate in our camper kitchen in the parking lot. I had to stop by and get some shotgun primers, and we were eager to get back on the road. The RV lets us live that way, and it’s one of the best ways to travel that you can imagine. 

I think it’s fair to say that my wife and I have traveled all over the world using all possible means. We’ve had a little bicycle cart pull us along in Paris, we’ve flown in big luxury aircraft, traveled in first-class seats overseas, by train, boat, and everything you can imagine. But there is nothing better than RV travel, and Americans, a lot of Americans, love their RVs. Electric cars cannot pull an RV trailer. If California ever does make it illegal to travel with anything but an electric vehicle, they will hamper their economy to ridiculous levels. They obviously haven’t thought things through, or they think they can eradicate the RV market because they hate it and think they’ll get away with it. But that is a terrible miscalculation. The kind of people who travel by RV are willing to get terrible gas mileage to take their homes with them on a trip because they want to be away from liberals and their liberal grid while on vacation. Campsite owners get it; RV campers like to be left alone. They don’t want a housekeeper. They don’t want to interact with people in the hotel lobby; every time they want to leave. They don’t want to be bothered, and any attempt to take that freedom away from them will result in very destructive political discourse.

The way we like to travel, even with gas behind much more than with just a regular car, is far cheaper. Otherwise, we would have to pay to be entirely on the grid of the Liberal World Order, the hotels, the restaurants, the toll roads, and everything we would do while on a trip we’d have to pay for. Then multiply that times the number of people we usually travel with, which is ten or more people, and you’d have a travel bill of ten to twenty thousand dollars. With the RV, a trip to St Ignace is just a few thousand dollars, which is much more practical, especially if you plan to do it several times a year. Liberals, the climate lunatics who make up all these proposed stupid rules, don’t like families either, so if something they do destroys the American family, they consider it a bonus. But before that happens, the people who use RV travel to vacation away from the Liberal World Order, the TSA agents at airports, the womb to tomb hotel accommodations where your personal space is constantly under siege by noisy people, always waiting in line for restaurants to serve you three meals a day for a week or two, and suddenly travel isn’t worth it. And places like St. Ignace would suffer significantly because it’s only because of RV travel that my family would have considered going there for vacation.   Because of RV travel, we can take the family to many such locations that otherwise wouldn’t get any attention. So this proposal for electric cars attacks more than just the gas-powered transportation industry; it attacks the basic needs that Americans have to engage in travel and adventure. To go to places like the cheesy tourist trap Castle Rock. Which would be terrible because out of all the cool places that we went, when the grandkids and my kids think back on the good memories of our vacation together, it will be the spontaneous stops like we had at Castle Rock that they remember most. And that is what is at threat through the stupidity of liberalism most and why their proposals must be defeated in every way possible at the ballot box.
