Demons in the Snow: The anger of the establishment at Donald Trump

I can only think of the mountain climbing scene from Akira Kurosawa’s fantastic movie Dreams, where the ghostly goddess vanished into a snowstorm leaving the crippled mountain climbers for the first time unencumbered emotionally because the apparition had been luring them to their very deaths and was in fact a demon.  Watch the really beautiful scene below.  I’ve used this metaphor before, but it certainly applies to those against Donald Trump in the wake of the Nevada caucuses.  It’s hard sometimes to tell who the villain is and who is true when life has a way of beating us all to death day in and day out.  The reaction the media collectively had when Donald Trump won Nevada as I flipped through the channels at 2 AM was the same as the frustrated demon trying to use a beautiful face to disguise its true intentions.  A similar demon has been trying to kill America and after the Nevada results poured in, the spirit which possessed all our media pundits from all sides of the political spectrum lashed out in anger because they had lost their grip on the mind of mankind for what looked like the first time in centuries.  It was a magnificent scene and I stared at my television in the quiet hours of a Wednesday morning wondering if it had ever been real—as the demon disappeared into a wisp of spectral smoke and vanished in shame.

How big was Donald Trump’s win in Nevada?  Well, in Ohio, it is extremely important to pay attention to all the local races—the 8th congressional race, Ann Becker for State Central Committee, all the senate races, the school levy repeals, voting down all taxes that one can.  Even better it would be for Donald Trump to beat John Kasich in Ohio for all the lies that governor espoused to win his office then turn into a hugging monstrosity of a former man sulking in the husk of a body once defined by testosterone.  Just for his position on expanding Medicaid through Obamacare, Kasich deserves to be embarrassed in that March 15th election notoriously.  Before Nevada it looked like Trump would do well nationwide—and would likely win the GOP nomination for president of the United States.  After however, with Trump’s above the poll turnout—it looked certain.  The pontificators of mediocrity had to hold their faces to keep them from melting off—and it made me very happy. That momentum will obviously define the 2016 election cycle and of course Ohio is right in the middle of it.  On that March 15th day, a lot will be happening and all signs point to a complete revolution without guns toward a new type of government not rooted in either political party—which would be a great thing.  A seismic shift in political priorities occurred after Trump won Nevada and it would be changed forever.

I see the battle taking place on many fronts.  Trump needs to win on the national stage, and people like Ann Becker need to do well in the trenches.  It’s unlikely that everyone will win their positions, but the totality of the attempts equates to the greater sum of just one front being attacked toward positive reform away from the socialist trend we have been witnessing for far too long.  Often the fight is better than the results because the assertion of intention changes the behavior of the enemy.  The enemy in this case is those who have tried to use government to steal more wealth from hard-working people, cheapen the United States through open border policies, and allow the communist intentions enacted since 1958 to maintain their grip on both political parties and the mainstream media.  Year by year they have pulled America toward a United Nations controlled one world government.  The people doing those things to our country deserve to feel horror at what they saw in Nevada.  It was an impossible victory by an impossible candidate that nobody had given any credit to up to that point.  Now the realization was that he was for real and he had momentum that looked impossible to stop.

But the real fight across the nation is on Super Tuesday, a week after the Nevada win, then of course there is Ohio two weeks later where if Kasich holds on that long—he will likely be very embarrassed which would finally bring justice to those of us he betrayed so flamboyantly.  Analysts from Trump’s big Nevada win could only sum of the word “anger” to express why the New York billionaire was doing so well.  What they failed to identify properly was the source of that anger.  For instance, in Ohio, we elected John Kasich as a Tea Party conservative—because that’s how he sold himself.  We also stuck with John Boehner for a long time—long enough that he was able to graduate into the Speaker of the House seat—which was the third most powerful in America.  Within a year both of those idiots were out on the golf course with President Obama getting neutered by the progressive activist and quickly changed their tune into Beltway boys.  When we raised our concerns about the issue the Republican Party went on a search and destroy mission to destroy the Tea Party—which turned out to be a really bad idea.

After Kasich lost the Issue 2 election where he challenged the public sector labor unions and lost, I took up the task of becoming the ground leader for making Ohio a right to work state as a next step.  Many friends that I had at the time turned against me because the mandate from the head of the Republican Party—Kasich– wanted to run for president and put his political ambitions ahead of the needs of the state.  Under the tutelage of Bill Cunningham—who is a long time friend of the governor, Kasich softened himself up into the kind of progressive that Cunningham really is off the air.  On the radio he plays a strong conservative, but off—he’s still very much a Kennedy democrat, and he helped sway the wounded governor into taking much more progressive positions, and that included stacking the deck against me personally through the local Republican Party because of my involvement with Right to Work in Ohio.  My role in the whole thing was an obvious solution to the continuous tax levies that public schools were asking for to cover the extreme costs of teacher salaries that were statistically too high because of their collective bargaining agreements.  That is where my support of Kasich started to end.  It was finalized when he expanded Medicaid under Obamacare siding with the president in expanding the treacherous and unpopular government takeover of health care.  The establishment Republicans showed me personally that they were more interested in the collectivist aims of a sitting governor than the strategic advancement of conservative value.  Even though Trump wasn’t yet running for office, I became a supporter of the next person who would step beyond the GOP platform established by people like Boehner and Kasich and re-establish those lines based on actual conservative positions—like border security, Second Amendment protections, and a strong dollar domestically.

Glenn Beck just before Nevada really betrayed his audience by calling Trump supporters brownshirts, and declaring that Trump would win because he had a giant phallic symbol right in the heart of Las Vegas.  He went on to proclaim that Trump was somehow morally unfit to make America win again because he was one of the first casino owners to put strippers in them—according to Beck’s radio show on caucus day in Nevada 2016.  Beck completely missed the point of Trump’s dominance.  People are so sick of losers who lie, manipulate and talk out of both sides of their mouth, that they are willing to overlook things to have a chance to win again in America—that is how morally depraved we have all become.  Some people are willing to do anything to taste victory again.  And what is Beck’s proposal—a person who claims to be a libertarian with a live and let live attitude about things—who is morally repulsed by strippers and casinos—but then looks at Trump in a biblical way as being the anti-Christ.  That doesn’t sound very libertarian to me.  I’m not a fan of casinos or strippers—but Trump is a lot more moral in his behavior than Glenn Beck—and Ted Cruz.  Trump is open and has made his life a clear window into his soul.  The validation of that is in what he produces.  With all the gifts Beck was given, he hasn’t been able to really do anything with them.  He has a movie studio in Dallas—and has failed to really put his money where his mouth is—he could have been a modern Walt Disney—but he has essentially failed at that. Trump doesn’t fail.  He does what he sets out to do—he takes risks—big risks, and most of the time he comes out on top.  Statistically he wins much more than he loses.  The few things that people like Cruz, Rubio, and Beck point to as failures are only loses in relation to their lives which have yet to be filled with big successes.  Trump has had many more successes than failures and that track record can be seen.  The evidence is on the skyline of New York, Chicago, and Las Vegas.  Where are the Cruz successes?  Rubio had trouble with traffic tickets.  How’s he going to do anything on a scale where the nation can benefit?  I mean both men are still young, Cruz and Rubio, but they are untested in the matters of the world.  They may have had little legal successes, but what have they built?  Trump has lots of successes and people can see them.  They are part of so many American skylines.  They can walk up and touch them—they are real.  And people need that right now.

http://www.nytimes.com/politics/first-draft/2015/06/05/marco-rubio-and-his-wife-cited-17-times-for-traffic-infractions-2/

Even with Trump being a casino owner and someone who has supported the use of strippers in them to create the kind of environment that Las Vegas visitors expect—he is far more moral than the long faces who have been selling out our country to foreign interests for so many years.  I am actually surprised that Glenn Beck and many others are so angry at Donald Trump for having such success.  If they really wanted to fix the country, wouldn’t they think the same way as I do?  I’m not a “brown shirt.”  I’m not part of Hitler’s army.  But I’ll tell you what I don’t like, and yes I do get angry when I meet them.  I don’t like people who lose a lot and makes excuses for it.  When things got hot for Beck, he left New York and retreated from the scene—pretty much.  When things got tough for Trump, he dug in and fought harder in one of the most competitive cities in the world.  When Trump supporters harassed Beck at a caucus site in Nevada—it wasn’t because they were “brown shirts.”  Rather, they were people who are sick of losing and tired of people like Glenn Beck and other pundits trying to whisper us all back to sleep again—like a demon from Akira Kurosawa’s movies.  If something is out there trying to steal your very life from you—we have a right to get mad.  And we are.  I certainly am.  Short of an armed revolt, Trump is the next best thing that can right elections without open warfare.  If Beck really wanted America to return to a constitutional republic he’d understand the root of that anger—and realize that in the eyes of the hardy and strong across America that he is the new Cleveland Browns of politics.  He loses all the time and can’t seem to understand how to win even when he has all the resources to do so.  Trump on the other hand is like the New England Patriots or any team that Payton Manning is playing on.  They just win.  And when the demons can’t beat them—they accuse them of being less than honest.  But the results tell the whole story.  In America, results matter.

Meet One of the Greatest Americans, the Frenchman Philippe Petit: A love letter to the Twin Towers

I was on a long oversea flight when I noticed the 2015 movie The Walk was one of the few listings that actually looked interesting to me.  I had avoided it in theaters because honestly, I get tired of all the sad stories about the Twin Towers destroyed in New York in 2001.  The topic started to feel like a perpetual funeral a long time ago—and I don’t like funerals.  I was a kid when Philippe Petit performed a high wire act by walking across the two skyline monstrosities breaking the law, yet winning the hearts of the world—so I vaguely remembered the incident.  Being stuck on a plane for 13 hours and having finished a book I was reading, I thought I’d give it a chance.  What I discovered on the Robert Zemeckis directed film was a love letter to what the World Trade Center towers represented before that terrible day on 9/11—and it gave me new respect for the anger that New Yorkers—like Donald Trump—still feel when talking about them.  Everyone promised not to forget when the towers were destroyed by radical Islamic terrorists on that fateful September day in 2001—but by the time The Walk had finished playing on the plane long over the Pacific Ocean coming down along the coast of Russia, I realized that Zemeckis had captured perfectly the critical issues on why legal immigration to the United States was part of the American experience and had properly identified without saying it why the terrorists had attacked those particular towers—because of what they represented to the rest of the world.  I found that The Walk was a movie that every American should see at least once because even thought Petit was a Frenchman, what he did and why he did it perfectly embodied why America is a special place and continues to be.  At the heart of the movie was a defined embodiment of the current political turbulence and a desire to recapture America’s spirit before 9/11 ever happened.  It was marvelous.

Philippe Petit (French pronunciation: ​[filip pəti]; born 13 August 1949) is a French high-wire artist who gained fame for his high-wire walk between the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, on the morning of August 7, 1974.[1] For his unauthorized feat (which he referred to as “le coup”[2]) 1,350 feet (400 metres) above the ground, he rigged a 450-pound (200-kilogram) cable and used a custom-made 26-foot (8-meter) long, 55-pound (25-kilogram) balancing pole. He performed for 45 minutes, making eight passes along the wire. The next week, he celebrated his 25th birthday. All charges were dismissed in exchange for his doing a performance in Central Park for children.

Since then, Petit has lived in New York, where he has been artist-in-residence at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, also a location of other aerial performances. He has done wire walking as part of official celebrations in New York, across the United States, and in France and other countries, as well as teaching workshops on the art. In 2008, Man on Wire, a documentary directed by James Marsh about Petit’s walk between the towers, won numerous awards. He was also the subject of a children’s book and an animated adaptation of it, released in 2005. The Walk, a movie based on Petit’s walk, was released in September 2015, starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt as Petit and directed by Robert Zemeckis.

He also became adept at equestrianism, fencing, carpentry, rock-climbing, and bullfighting. Spurning circuses and their formulaic performances, he created his street persona on the sidewalks of Paris. In the early 1970s, he visited New York City, where he frequently juggled and worked on a slackline in Washington Square Park.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philippe_Petit

I can’t promise by the time that you’ve read this article dear reader that the below film, Man on Wire will still be playing on YouTube.  If it’s not, you should find it and watch it.  If it is still up below, then take a few hours and watch it now.  I had not seen the film prior to the Zemeckis movie but instantly sought it out wanting to confirm that what I had seen in The Walk was real—which it was.  It is an inspiring documentary that serves as a fine complement to the 2015 feature film.  As spectacular as that event was in 1974 walking across the massive precipice of the World Trade Center from such dizzying heights, it was quite a relief to discover that the story was true and the real passion of Philippe Petit was not overstated.  The actual guy is just as passionate and authentic as the 2015 movie on him.   Petit was a modern immigrant who came to America because of the opportunities it provided him, and he stayed and never left.  Even though what he did was in definite violation of the law, New York embraced him because unlike other places in the world, such efforts often go with a reward.  America has always been a place where the law takes a back seat to innovation.  Of course Philippe Petit was arrested for his antics and if he had not been successful, things could have been very bad for him and the World Trade Center building complex that had not yet been opened to the public.  But as it was, Petit’s actions were authentic—driven from a pure heart to live by the spontaneity of his troubadour tendencies and the American continent recognized that effort with foundations of belief rooted in common experience.  Most people in America yearn to live as Petit did—not everyone does—but the purpose of art is to evoke such emotions and in this case it properly put its finger on the root of American Exceptionalism.  Petit is such a fine, raw example of American Exceptionalism.  It’s not something people are born with.  It’s a philosophy that embraces those who have no place else to display their genius—and that is what makes America great.  It’s not a born trait, it’s something you take for yourself—and America along with its entire people—thus benefits.

Petit saw something that at the time could have only been created by American capitalism—the World Trade Center and he took on impossible odds to perform his task.  Part of the difficulty is what shaped the event as being so extraordinary.  If it had been easy it would not have been so amazing.  I can say that I understand Petit’s efforts.   I have experienced similar things—even down to the mysterious stranger who showed up on the roof at dawn and looked him wordlessly to acknowledge his existence then disappeared just as inexplicably.  Who was that guy?  Nobody knows but he never tipped off the law prior to Petit taking to his feat.  I have a saying that I often have told my children that the treasures of life are not found along paved roads lined with signs saying stay off the grass.  If you really want to find the treasures of life, sometimes you have to step off that paved road and look in the high grass and weeds.  Rules and regulations are designed to keep us all on the road so that things can be hidden from us—so another class of insurgent aristocrats can rule over mankind.   That is why in France, Petit wasn’t so celebrated, because they loved their rules and regulations.  They may push the limit in different social ways, but the intellectual ways that Americans do are unique to the continent of North America as established by the Revolution of 1776.  Breaking the law is sometimes a good thing in America—so long as you win.

That message is distinctly different everywhere else in the world.  Rules matter and the people who make the rules must be revered as gods on earth.  In America that notion is laughed at—and that is why Philippe Petit was so embraced by New York after his amazing feat.  He had given meaning to those two steel towers and enemies of America—both foreign and domestic wanted to put an end to that meaning.  So they attacked them for what they represented to all the Petits of the world who looked to America with hope.  The attack on the World Trade Center on 9/11 2001 was not just a shot at American capitalism, but to those who looked at them in pictures and dreamed similar dreams of freedom, anarchy, and spontaneous authenticity.  It wasn’t the buildings themselves they wanted to destroy so much as it was the freedoms they represented.  If Petit had not launched them with bold insurrection to the rules of humanity—they wouldn’t have had the same meaning.  For them to take their place in history properly—Petit needed to have his walk across them.

I was deeply touched by The Walk.  It touched on something that I believe in with extraordinary passion.  I can relate to Philippe Petit and I have to thank Robert Zemeckis for telling such an amazingly simple story with all the complexity of its troubadour origins—which is actually what gave birth to America in the first place from the first daring Europeans who put a zest for life ahead of the orthodox against the church and state.  Even though many had forgotten consciously what the World Trade Center had come to mean to a new generation, because of The Walk, the spirit of that endeavor has been captured and had defined them properly—and it is that spirit the terrorists attacked.

Conspiracies abound as to who was responsible for the destruction of the World Trade Center.  Donald Trump as a New Yorker and a builder of large buildings obviously is still very angry about their downfall—likely for the reasons I just articulated—even though it’s hard to put a finger on it.  The world needs more Philippe Petits and when those towers went down it wasn’t just lives lost that made everyone so sad.  It was the good memories of what they meant to the New York skyline and how they were launched to the public in such a grandiose way.  All that was erased forever and what was left was not just ruins, but an intentional jab at all the potential Philippe Petits of the world contemplating the fulfillment of their dreams.  The message from those treacherous insurgents was—yield your individuality to the deities and laws of the world.  Do not follow your individual passions as Philippe Petit did.   The direction we moved to as a country after 9/11 did exactly what the terrorists wanted.  Try telling a TSA agent you intend to walk across some building in America.  They’d panic and put the entire airport on lockdown just for saying it.  We gave up our free loving troubadour spirit to embrace the safety that only rules can provide to evoke upon us to stay on the paved roads.  CLICK HERE TO LEARN ABOUT THE TROUBADOURS.  That was the greatest crime of all.  For me the most beautiful scene in The Walk was when Petit was going through immigration with all his equipment and he honestly told the border agent what he planned to do.  It was so extraordinary that the man waved him through not with suspicion but almost with a dare to see if the kid would actually do it attitude.  That is America, and that is what we need to get back.

Maybe if Donald Trump is elected president he’ll nominate Philippe Petit as a VP—because he’s still alive.  I can’t think of anybody who is more American than that Frenchman.  That is a guy I understand!

Strategies and Conservative History of Donald Trump: Statements on Apple ahead of gathering under the tent of the Republican nominee

The trick now for Donald Trump is obviously making it so that Marco Rubio’s supporters along with Ted Cruz can jump over to him without feeling they betrayed their candidate.  So a change in presentation is due, especially now that Jeb Bush has announced that he’s out of the presidential race. John Kasich has no chance, Ben Carson has no chance.  Only Ted Cruz, and Marco Rubio—both freshman Tea Party senators who don’t have much of a track record are left to determine who will be the Republican nominee along with Donald Trump—who is also a Tea Party favorite.  Let’s see, I heard several establishment Republicans in Butler County Ohio say in early 2013 when they were trying to stuff out the various Tea Party groups—that it would all be over by 2014.  Well, that’s not what’s happening.

Because of the vicious warfare a lot of these Cruz and Rubio people will be reluctant to side with Trump—so it will be the New York billionaire’s task to pull over the supporters and finish off these two—which should be rather easy.   There are a lot of things to pick on that could sink their ships really fast if Trump wanted to do it.  Rubio is from communist Cuba.   Ted Cruz had a father who was a communist revolutionary—and he was not born in the USA.  Both have had trouble with their personal finances and listing their paperwork obligations to some degree.  They both speak well, but are obviously above their head in personal experience. They were good candidates when Bush and Kasich were the focus, but now, they are front-runners subject to exposure—and it will be tough for them—there is a lot of easy fodder for Trump to expose over the next few weeks.

For them however, Cruz and Rubio, they will try to paint Trump as not being conservative enough and that is something that will have to be overcome quickly.  Trump was already dealing with that in his South Carolina acceptance speech before the print was dry for the morning papers.  That assertion, which many friends that I have in the Liberty movement support, is laughable.  The definition being used about conservatism has been established in the Tea Party wake of conservatives mixed with libertarians—and it is that criteria that is judging Trump’s viability of conservative values.  It is a political definition largely formed by Glenn Beck’s portion of the conservative Tea Party audience and is not based on actual conservative value—and that is what Trump needs to attack now in order to overcome the younglings—Cruz and Rubio.

If I had to write Trump’s life arch to arrive at this moment it would probably go something like this, Trump was hungry to step out of his father’s shadow—he worked really hard and put his stamp in New York in a big way enjoying a lot of early success.  He was the Michael Jackson of real estate and he worked extremely hard to get there.  The 90s came, and the bottom fell out of many of his investments.  He was over extended and struggling to stay afloat.  His father who was someone Trump leaned on a lot suffered Alzheimer’s disease and finally died in 1999.  Also over this span, Trump went through two marriages, had to file bankruptcies on several of his properties to keep them from sinking everything he had worked for and he had to pound through a lot of public scrutiny—a lot of people who wanted to kick him on the way back down off his 80s successes.  As a developer in New York, where a lot of liberals control things, Trump had to donate money just to play the game.  There weren’t a lot of Republicans in the world he was living in—so he had to do what it took to help his businesses.  He survived the 90s with a lot of personal skill and triumph and faced the next century without his parents, and a company that needed him to bounce back and carry it on his shoulders toward new heights.  Most of the things Trump faced in the 90s would have forced lesser men to jump off a roof, but Trump just buckled down and solved everything with sheer tenacity and intelligence.  In the post parent years, Trump truly broke out to be his own man—and along the way he started the Apprentice on NBC with Mark Burnett and actually refined himself over the course of 14 seasons as he was a teacher to several young people on a very popular television show.  Along the way, he bounced around on political positions, largely because most of the people he was dealing with were liberals—but he never personally lost himself.  He never drank, did drugs or got himself into misdeeds with women even though he could have easily as a single person at the time.  He met his current wife in 2004 and she seemed to be just what he needed as a person.  Since she came along, his personal focus has been surgical and his businesses have grown enormously.  He could not be a liberal in any way because of the way he has raised his family.  His kids show his conservatism, his businesses could not have been raised to the level they are without him being conservative to his very core—because liberals cannot think right to become wealthy the old fashion way.  Trump has been vetted through the harshest fires and he has endured and actually excelled.  I can say that I know what kind of president he’ll be, and I don’t have to worry about him crowning himself king.  He’s far more complex than that—and more reliable.

Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio comparatively have done nothing in their lives.  They are professional politicians without much of a track record and a lot of youthful idealism.  They have not survived the fires of reality all so well—they are actually a bit like Trump was in the 80s.  They have yet to face any hard crashes in their lives—which they will—and you don’t want a person in the White House who might not handle things so well under enormous pressure.  Cruz has been a good debater and argued in front of the Supreme Court, but that’s a rather small thing compared to all the achievements of Trump.  And Rubio in his short career has even been caught on the Gang of 8 mishap with Chuck Schumer—which will be easy for Trump to expose in the coming weeks.  However Trump does get into trouble is with statements like what he made about Apple.

The answer to Apple is not to boycott them, or even to have the government force Apple to unlock the cell phone of the California ISIS terrorists.   Trump’s comment that the government “owns” the phones is incorrect.  Trump the CEO is used to operating as a top down manager which is actually needed right now in the White House because of all the dysfunction—but you have to understand that government is owned by the people.  I’m sure Trump understands that, and his intentions with Apple are good, but he’s wrong in assuming that government could solve the problem of encryption with judicial force.  It just feeds the anxiety that Glenn Beck and Ted Cruz are already feeding about Trump’s conservatism.  The government should not be in the business of telling companies what to do.  In the case of Apple, rather than sitting around like a bunch of sorry losers for two months complaining that they couldn’t break the encryption of the confiscated phone, they should have hired a 12-year-old kid to hack the thing.  If Apple can invent something, then someone else can reverse engineer it and in this day and age, there is a kid out there who can do it.  The FBI should have utilized them instead of looking to impose government rule over a private sector company. Out of all the good things that Trump has said and done on this run for president, the supporters of Cruz and Rubio will take pause with that kind of talk—so it’s best to avoid those types of impulsive statements.  The FBI should not be waiting for a court order to force Apple to cooperate, and nobody should boycott Apple with peer pressure to force their hand.  It is up to the FBI to use all their vast resources to break the code.  I do not believe them when they say they can’t get in.  What they want is an easy way to get at such information in the future.  They are looking to move the Overton Window for all future cases in favor of them—which is dangerous.

Even if Trump doesn’t win in Nevada he’s in good shape to win the nomination.  He’ll do well in Nevada—and he’ll get plenty of delegates.  Marco Rubio didn’t do well in New Hampshire or Iowa, so even if he surges, he’s still way behind in the delegate count and Cruz has consistently been in third place.  He has no support from his colleagues in the senate and that will hurt him at this phase.  He has peaked out.  He’s not going to win, so his supporters need to get their minds around it.  Trump at this point could come in second and third in several of the Super Tuesday races and he’d still be poised to win.  Personally, he would consider it a failure to lose anything—but in the game of numbers, they are all in his favor.  So it’s time to start thinking about the next step.  Trump is far more conservative than Cruz and Rubio—not by what he says—but by how he acts when the rubber hits the road.  And to me, that’s what matters most.  Cruz and Rubio have not been job creators. Trump has, and he has a lot more experience at the hard decisions it takes to actually do things in the real world.  There is a big difference between idealism and actuality.  Trump has had a long career of making success out of hard realities whereas everyone else has simply just talked about it.  Trump would be wise to stick to his experience and shift into that next gear that will make it easier for the Cruz and Rubio people to come into his tent.  They may do so reluctantly, but it’s time for them to start moving in that direction.

Now, one last thing about establishment politics, the NBC/Wall Street Journal poll that excited everyone but Trump supports right before the South Carolina vote was obviously a small sampling of known Cruz/Rubio supporters hoping to turn the tide of public opinion just ahead of the vote.  The Bush campaign floated it out, and all the major news organizations ran with it—even though it was the only one.  That is how deep the establishment is on the process and it should tell voters everything they need to know.  Yet Trump didn’t buckle at all.  He was calm and cool through the whole process.  On the night before the election he held three massive rallies which made news all over the state.  Trump simply out-worked everyone.  With Trump in the White House he will set a new bar as far as what’s expected out of a sitting president.  There is nobody running who works as hard at things as Trump.  And the establishment doesn’t know what to do with him.  They’ve thrown everything including the kitchen sink at him because there is one thing that Trump has that none of them do—including Rubio and Cruz—Trump loves hard work.  They run from it by default.  That is what’s wrong with Washington D.C.—to its core.  We need a president who will make “hard work” fashionable once again—and nobody can do that like Trump.  Calvin Coolidge was a very hard worker—but he couldn’t sell it.  Trump can outwork Coolidge—but he can also sell it—and that is exactly what America needs right now.  It doesn’t need a political definition of conservatism.  It needs a hard worker who can convince America to do the same.  And that is what Trump is after a long life of really hard knocks. He’s not going to lose this election at this point.  Because nobody is able to outwork him to the finish line—so if you are not yet a Trump supporter and you don’t want Hillary in the White House—it’s time to come to terms.

Who Cares about Star Wars 8: How new regimes attempt to erase history

I told you didn’t I—and I didn’t want to be right.  But I was, and to know to what extent, just look at the comments of the radio interview Mat Clark and I did on how Disney ruined Star Wars.  The Force Awakens is the Arachnophobia of modern film.  Kathy Kennedy and the rest of the employees at Lucasfilm were not able to seamlessly replicate the master—George Lucas—not even with the best special effects in the world and the music of John Williams.  The film struggled to make 2 billion dollars at the box office, which it should have easily surpassed if it were a good movie—just as I warned month before it came out.  Now the franchise is a cheapened disaster.  My family actually had tickets to go to the Star Wars Celebration in London this year—well forget that.  Since I have seen The Force Awakens, I have not played a single Star Wars video game, read another book about that particular mythology, or even watched the television show, Rebels.  It was very important in our family and now to me, it’s just a stupid fan film that has ruined the overall mythology established by the expanded universe through hundreds of novels.  I don’t care who Rey’s father is because she’s supposed to be Jaina Solo.  End of story.  The idiot at Lucasfilm who thought it would be a good idea to write out Mara Jade and Jaina Solo in the Star Wars mythology is proof that second generations do not have what it takes to do the work of the primaries.  So Star Wars isn’t a complete loss.  It is making many of the points I have always made about politics and people in general—just not for the reasons they’d like.  This leaves the announcement of Episode 8 an empty husk if irrelevancy.  The movie will do well by box office standards but the next edition will have a lot less interest than The Force Awakens did.  Star Wars has been reduced to just another blockbuster now-because of the mishandling of the franchise and destruction of the literary expanded universe and everyone will be very disappointed with the results of the upcoming films which will fall extremely short of Disney expectations.  It’s their own fault for not listening.

What is interesting however is how Kathy Kennedy and many others have attempted to cover up their own incompetence on the film set—as they are obviously lost behind the camera without George Lucas or Steven Spielberg behind the line, with revisionist history.  It is actually the same technique that our own history books have utilized to try to explain the origins of the human race and even recent events such as the history of America.  If you ever wondered why the destruction of the library at Alexandria was such a devastating endeavor which sought to erase history at that point, or why modern education puts an emphasis on Indians, women, and people of color ignoring many of the great heroics of American expansion, just watch what they are doing with Star Wars right in front of our faces—for those who read.  It’s the same mechanism that Bill Clinton used to stay in office as a disgraced president and the precisely duplicate manner which Democrats used to pass Obamacare on the eve of Christmas and without anybody reading a word of a document which took charge of a fifth of our American economy.  The makers of Star Wars deliberately destroyed a very well-known story line and forced fans to either accept it or reject it—and they took their bets that more people would be willing to accept the revisionist vision than would reject it because they had an intense love for the product.

And some people do have such a love, that Star Wars can do no wrong.  And they will line up for Episode 8 hoping that it will bring some form of nostalgia of the old Star Wars back to their lives.  But in essence, all they’ll get are the sights, sounds, music and maybe some old characters—but the heart is missing.  It’s very similar to when David Lee Roth left Van Halen and Sammy Hagar attempted to carry the banner—but it never really worked, because Roth had become the embodiment of the musical essence of Van Halen.  Michael Jackson was able to leave the Jackson Five, but the other brothers were not able to carry on without him.  Apple is not the great company that it was without Steve Jobs.  People still buy the products out of nostalgia for the past, but the impact is never the same.  There was only one way that Star Wars could have saved itself and that was to follow the formula of the expanded universe—which was to have Han Solo’s daughter Jaina become the Sword of the Jedi and take everything up to a new level.  But with Harrison Ford out of Star Wars and this Rey character an unknown whatever, the juice behind the mythology is lost like much of the history that is now taught in public schools—watered down political crap.  Lucasfilm has arrogantly moved forward abandoning their long time fans nurtured through the expanded universe expecting everyone to just follow behind them.  But they should have known better.  That is like asking fans of the Rolling Stones to accept the band without Mick Jagger—which I know they understand.  They could have written out Harrison Ford, but they needed his child to carry things on—and they didn’t do that.

Without the mythology as it was, before the fan film revisions of post George Lucas ownership, Star Wars is just another science fiction film on par with the latest Star Trek movies, or even Independence Day rip offs.  And by Independence Day, both the one done in 1995 and the second one coming up, those were rip offs of all the great movies of the 80s—they were not themselves good films.  Star Wars has lost its meaning and is just a soap opera for people who don’t know better—because they either didn’t read the books or they did, but want something meaningful in their life and will compromise anything to get it.  And that says a lot about why people accept certain things that are obviously lies which the government to this present time tells us, like America was bad because of slavery, that mankind evolved out of the African continent without the infusion of an advanced species which accelerated the process around the world as Neanderthals were banging rocks together just to make a loud noise.

These Star Wars movies, the proposed episodes 7, 8 and 9 are an insult because they deliberately ignore the actual story that came before it.  Disney really screwed up.  The Expended Universe was all real Star Wars fans had for a long time and it lived on in gaming, novels, and other media for several decades.  Disney took ownership and decided to re-write the history of Star Wars and make it into some board of director’s film instead of the vision George Lucas always intended.  I’m sure from his point of view; he’s just happy kids can still enjoy it—even though it’s not what he created any longer.  Unfortunately Star Wars now is just another Power Rangers episode.  It has lost its sanctity.  At least it did for me.  I really enjoyed it, and since watching that monstrosity at the movie theater on December 17th I have rejected Star Wars in just about every fashion.  I just dropped it like a rock in the same way I do what history of diffusion that scientists try to utter through modern education ignoring the role the Chinese had as a great navy of the world advanced beyond the years of Europe by several centuries.  Great civilizations existed in Siberia, China and now submerged areas around Indonesia.  Additionally, North America was a hot bed of human activity long before the Jews escaped the Pharaoh in Egypt.  And forever Jaina Solo was the star of the Star Wars universe before revisionists sought to change everything and turn the story into a much more progressive tool than it otherwise had been.  And that is just a shame.  It won’t be the first time, and it’s certainly not the last.  Disney will learn their lesson on the next films.  But unfortunately, the human race makes the same mistakes time and time again—and they show no signs of learning anything from the past.

The Blackmail of Jim Spurlino: Attack, attack, and attack until the person who did it to you is having nightmares

Jim Spurlino’s campaign manager called me to clarify that the issue his candidate for Ohio’s 8th Congressional District was facing was not sexual impropriety, but was in fact a child support dispute.  I did a review about a ‘meet the candidates’ night I videotaped for the West Chester Tea Party and provided my opinions based on the performance—of which Spurlino wasn’t present.  CLICK TO REVIEW.  I liked Jim Spurlino because of this following USA Today article. 

If Donald Trump needs any help fulfilling his promise to build a wall along the U.S-Mexico border, he’ll find a volunteer in Ohio.

Jim Spurlino, owner of Middletown, Ohio’s Spurlino Materials and a candidate for Ohio’s 8th Congressional District, offered to send his company’s “mobile concrete plants” to the border to build a barricade that prevents immigrants from coming across illegally.

“The nation needs a concrete-strong border to protect patriotic Americans from foreign terrorists and illegal job-snatchers,” Spurlino said in a statement Monday.

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/onpolitics/2016/02/01/jim-spurlino-ohio-trump-border-wall/79650152/#

I thought that was great, but then out of nowhere Spurlino released this information:

“These professional politicians must fear me,” Spurlino said. “I’m not perfect, but I’ll be honest with the voters.”

Spurlino, the owner of Spurlino Materials in Middletown, did not elaborate on what details could have ruined his reputation. He did say it stemmed from the end of a previous marriage.

Spurlino has been divorced twice, according to court records. His most recent divorce came in 2013.

“I would hope that this campaign and my opponents would stick to the issues,” he said. “That’s what I know the voters want to hear about.”

Spurlino called the tactics “cloak and dagger crazy stuff,” before alleging one of his opponents also has stalked his 16-year-old daughter on social media.

“I really can’t believe that kind of stuff happens,” he said.

Spurlino says in his campaign website he and his current wife have raised eight children together.

Neither Spurlino nor anyone on his campaign staff was immediately available for comment.

http://votespurlino.com/

http://www.cincinnati.com/story/news/2016/02/10/congressional-candidate-says-he-blackmailed/80100384/

Talk about mixed messages.  On one hand Spurlino appeared to be a Trump-like candidate, who was ready to fight, but then he was a victim of blackmail playing a sympathy card.  It seemed like two different people who is a huge alarm to me.  I was relieved in a way to find that the situation wasn’t some kind of embarrassing sexual indiscretion because that is a major no, no for me.  If a man can’t keep his house in order at home, they won’t be worth anything as a public candidate.  Child support can be a serious issue as well, but often that kind of thing can be screwed up by government accounting, which happens more than people might think.  I have a big problem with our social trend toward the courts mediating in family affairs.  I mean just recently a Butler County judge favored a swingers club in West Chester ruling against the trustees—so the courts can be just as screwed up as anybody.  The best way to avoid it is to not get divorced.  Spurlino has been married three times and that is a problem, but so has Trump—who I do support.  So if I believe in the candidate, I can overlook some things.  But once you let the government-run your family and divide up finances, it’s over, they rule over your family and its affairs and I can see how someone could end up in trouble with a government-run child support agency controlled by incompetent employees like those found at the BMV.

http://www.mydaytondailynews.com/news/news/records-8th-district-candidate-was-past-due-on-chi/nqRLJ/

I spoke to Jim’s campaign manager for a while and we talked about a lot of things, including who he thinks sabotaged Spurlino with the alleged blackmail and I can believe it.  If Spurlino brands himself as a Trump-type candidate strong on immigration, there are a lot of establishment types in Butler County who would have a big problem with him.  I can see them trying to destroy a candidate who made big news for a local race in USA Today.  I remember when I made it into a Forbes article over a political issue and saw how the other side reacted with an eye bleeding vengeance filled with panic—there was never a more ruthless attempt to destroy a person just for being a good person.  If Spurlino could evoke that kind of anger against the establishment, he’d do a good service to conservatism.  But he can’t do that if he puts out a couple of campaign videos trying to apologize for something to get out ahead of a story that appears not to be a very big deal—it’s a family issue that looks like it’s been resolved within the family.  The courts might be in a fuss, but that is likely because they are idiots.  By trying to deal with the issue in a clandestine fashion it provoked a liberal Dayton Daily News reporter to do a lot of digging to find out what the big secret was—which turned out to be far less scandalous than it might have otherwise been.

Just a bit of advice and this goes for anybody.  If someone slips an envelope under your door trying to hang you for something—well the best thing is to be as squeaky clean as possible so you never have to worry about such a thing.  But if it does happen, attack.  Attack, attack, and attack until the person who did it to you is having nightmares about you.  Never let up and drive them into the ground so that they can never get up.  That is my policy and a lot of people have had to learn the hard way.  They read here every day hoping that somehow some way that I’ll stumble and fall so they can peek their heads above the ground in some way once again.  And I’d say to Spurlino, if you are a tough guy, then be one.  Don’t play politics with losers and let your aggression fly loose.  If you have what it takes to work in Trump’s wake, then be bold and hit hard.  If you don’t get elected this time, so what.  Just don’t play it safe.  We have enough people who have been elected to the 8th District who were just pacifists looking for a stable job.  We need fighters in modern politics and the best test of that is in how you deal with people who try to challenge you on the campaign trail.  If someone did you wrong—destroy them.   Don’t complain about it, just take care of it.

John Kasich’s One Fan: The typical voter of Ohio’s biggest RINO

Judge Craig Hedric and Larry Flint–One in the Same: The Champagne Club trying to bring evil to West Chester

 

Apparently Judge Craig Hedric from Butler County loves sexually charged environments intended to corrupt the morality of the human race through sheer decadence and meandering ambiguity.  While the Champagne Club from the god forsaken hell hole of Ft. Wayne, Indiana could have more appropriately located their swingers club in the diabolically ruined neighboring Fairfield area, they picked West Chester just across the border to take a swipe at the family wholesomeness that the people and management there have carefully nurtured for over three decades.  Sadly, Judge Hedric, who is nearly a neighbor of mine and is an avid sports fan decided that he wanted to allow a progressive intrusion into the neighboring southern township—perhaps for closer proximity.  You just never know about people these days, even judges from conservative areas.  West Chester trustees wisely tried to fight back the intrusion but the law was interpreted by Hedric in the following fashion as reported by Channel 9 News.

WEST CHESTER TOWNSHIP, Ohio — Butler County Pleas Judge Craig Hedric ruled Tuesday that West Chester Township officials improperly rescinded a permit for a planned swinger’s club.

After a swell of community outrage surrounding the upcoming opening of the Champagne Club, West Chester Township trustees approved a moratorium on “sexual encounter establishments” in November.

The West Chester Board of Trustees considered and approved a moratorium on the licensing and permitting of “sexual encounter establishments” and similar uses in the Township, according to spokeswoman Barb Wilson.

The owners of the Champagne Club out of Fort Wayne, Indiana, wanted to open a second location in West Chester Township before 2016, but the moratorium barred them from obtaining a permit to do so.

“Our clients, when they went in there, were very open — they said precisely what it was they were going to do,” said attorney Tim Burke, who represents the Champagne Club’s owners. “They were assured they were in compliance, then the trustees got public pressure from folks who didn’t like, who didn’t think this was a morally appropriate use.”

In response to Tuesday’s ruling, West Chester Township Administrator Judi Boyko issued a statement saying “In all things, West Chester endeavors to execute in good faith, in compliance with all laws and rules, and with the best interests of the community in mind.

“West Chester respects the judicial appeals process and today’s ruling by the judge will be taken into account moving forward. With regard to the specific details of this case, West Chester does not comment on litigation.”

http://www.wcpo.com/news/local-news/butler-county/west-chester/west-chester-judge-permit-cant-be-revoked-for-swingers-club

West Chester might respect the judicial interpretation of the law, but I don’t.  The only way someone could possible side in favor of such a skanky low class-operation as the Champagne Club is if they sympathize with the swinging lifestyle.  I remember specifically how Larry Flint targeted Monroe with his Hustler of Hollywood store after he played out his years in jail after the fight with Cincinnati over his Hustler stores there.  You might remember the movie The People VS. Larry Flint, which showed the issue from the point of view of Flint and his diabolical desire to erode away morality under the flag of free speech.  Monroe tried to fight him, but they lost in a similar fashion being forced to host the embarrassment that has forever limited Monroe as a city.  Even though the little town along I-75 has tried to bring in classy establishments like the Cincinnati Premium Outlets, Richards Pizza, and the famous Touch Down Jesus statue, it is still an exit with a prison, a casino, and an adult sex shop—making it forever nothing but an overly glorified truck stop.

Newport on the Levy tried to revitalize the horrendous reputation of that city across the river from Cincinnati, but has fallen well short. There are still strip houses and illicit activity in Newport and that has permanently put on the handcuffs of profitable growth going into the future, because their reputation was and is so bad.  You can’t polish a piece of shit.  You can dress it up nice, and Newport on the Levy is very nice.  But outside of quarter-mile of that shopping destination, Newport is still little Vegas—as it was when the mob ruled it years ago.  It’s just a much more watered down version.

People don’t want sex in their backyards.  I’m sure there are plenty of West Chester couples who go to Cancun for scandalous vacations at the Temptations resort or to Vegas for three-way sex with some object of their desire.  Many people in West Chester and Liberty Township routinely go to New York where on Times Square women now walk around topless not caring if children see.  The internet is crawling with sex, so who is Craig Hedric to judge when the law presents an opening to favorable interpretation?  Well here’s the difference Hedric, the Champagne Club’s advocates are vile, evil, parasites seeking to lick the rot off the weaknesses of some of the best people of West Chester and they picked that location to stick it into the eye of all us wholesome moralists who seek refuge in one of the greatest places on the planet, the Miami Valley specifically of eastern Butler County.

I view swingers as sick people.  They typically are losers who get bored easily and put entirely too much emphasis on sex in their relationships.  It is low-level spiritual ambitions that I consider intellectually equitable to a baby in its first few months out of a mother’s womb.  Actually it’s worse.  A baby only wants what its biological impulses desire, to eat, to dispel of digestive activity, and to be cared for by someone who can move it around until it can do so on its own.   The sad thing with children occurs when their sex drive kicks in during adolescence and their brains no longer function toward intellectual growth, but toward sexual fulfillment—to satisfy the biological urge to procreate.  The smart thing to do in life is to never allow your mind to stop growing and to develop healthy attitudes about sex.  Have it, enjoy it, but don’t wrap your life around it. Not just marriage, but sex should be between a man and a woman end of story.  Anything else and you are spending too much time on sexual activity.  If sex occupies more than 1% of your total week, there is something wrong with you.  You can have sex with a spouse four or five times a week for an hour or so and be perfectly fine.  But if you are going to someplace like the Champagne Club for three or four hours on a Friday night, then spending an additional two or three hours with somebody else’s spouse, you are wasting too much time on sex and it is bringing imbalance to your life.  Sex then becomes an extremely disastrous enterprise at that point.

Who in their right mind would want something like that in one of the best places to live in North American—and West Chester is—along with Liberty Township—where Hedric lives.  Dayton is already a dump and there are several swinger clubs there.   They help keep that region an armpit of disgust.  Why would you want it in such a nice area?  The only answer that there is comes from the actions of the perpetrators.  They, like Larry Flint, want to spread their corruption to a new recruiting base to destroy and ruin many more people to fulfill their selfish and infantile needs for physical gratification through sexual action.  So to me Larry Flint and Judge Craig Hedric are one in the same.  Both used the law to destroy morality because they could–rather than functioning from the higher thoughts of philosophy rather than the primal desires of sex.  Swinger clubs have an impact on real estate values.  They have an impact on commerce.  And they have an impact on the sanctity of a region.   I often entertain people from out of the country and let me tell you this; it would be embarrassing to explain to them that there is a swinger club in West Chester.  When visiting their countries you never see it.  Sure it’s there—but it’s carefully hidden because it is shameful.  It’s shameful for a reason—because adults should be smarter than a bunch of hormonal teenagers who just want to stick their stuff into whatever presents itself.

Therefore, knowing all that, the owners of Champagne Club want only one thing by locating in West Chester and not some more appropriate armpit of a slum like Springdale, Evendale or Forest Park—they want to attack the integrity of West Chester morally, economically, and structurally in every phase.  And such an attack should be viewed as a serious imposition to the security of all our homes and chosen lifestyles.  It’s not a no harm, no foul environment, it’s a sexually scandalous place that only deviants would enjoy, the worst of our species, the pot heads, the sex addicts, and the terribly bad parents who are probably all school levy supporters as well.  And if the judge won’t protect our community from this insurgency of evil, then we need to explore other avenues—because apparently Judge Craig Hedric is up for something else besides the job he was sent to do as a Butler County Pleas Judge.

Lisa Wells of WLW Arrested: Probably shouldn’t have went to the political center, Chuck

I’m not surprised.  Chuck and the gang at WLW picked Lisa Wells once Darryl Parks was out-of-the-way.  Looks like they made a pretty bad decision.  

She was a drug user according to her arrest records and a Lakota levy supporter–which is kind of the same thing.  She was WLW’s way of becoming more “inclusive” to a new demographic that hasn’t typically listened to talk radio.   Why do these things keep happening to WLW? 

Sounds like a management decision to me–the wrong people are in charge and they keep all the wrong people around.  They appear to let knuckle-dragging losers who get stuck on their own roof make decisions based on boobies and tax increase support instead of good hard logic.  CLICK TO REVIEW. 

For context to my statements, watch this video at about the 8:45 mark.

Patti Alderson’s Butler County Zoo: Featuring RINOs who eat a lot of green

Southern Ohio, specifically Butler County isn’t known for its wildlife—but there are enough RINOs migrating around that it rivals only the Serengeti of Africa.  This is largely due to the State Central Committee seat that the socialite Patti Alderson holds which keeps those RINOs in seats they otherwise wouldn’t be able to hold.  Ann Becker is running against Patti Alderson to attempt to set things right in Butler County and if you listen to the broadcast Ann did with Brian Thomas on 55 KRC below, you will begin to understand how Patti has loaded Butler County full of so many RINOs and learn what you can do about it.  What’s even stranger, given the sometimes intense anger that the Liberty Movement is uttering these days toward the establishment commitment toward RINOs (Republican In Name Only—people like Don DIXON) is that Patti listed them on her promotional website as a badge of honor like her own zoo listing.  That’s how out of touch she is.  Now a few names on her list, also shown below, are decent people—like Margy and T.C. Rogers.  Roger Reynolds most of the time is like a tennis ball being knocked over a net from Liberty to establishment—so he’s sort of on the fence—but most of the rest are clearly RINOs.  Not that they are bad people, but they are definitely establishment anchors who lean far too left for the current Liberty tide that is emerging.  To prove it, just click on the hotlinks below, and you will see the evidence.  Here is the information that Patti listed on her website promoting her ability to maintain the status quo by continuing to feed the RINOs of Butler County.https://t.co/3jNX1vRG7N

— Nancy Nix, CPA, Butler County Treasurer

— Todd Hall, Butler County GOP Executive Chairman

The Black Rhino of the Serengeti are herbivores who mostly eat greenery—brush, grass and other plant life.  The RINOs of Butler County eat lots of greens as well, but this often comes in the form of paper money.  All the RINOs listed on Patti’s endorsement page are zoo feed RINOs who come to her home and charity events to be fed and have largely been domesticated by her.  She controls them, she keeps them fat, dumb, and happy, and she maintains her grip on their existence with her seat on the State Central Committee.

The Black Rhinos of Serengeti are almost always on endangered lists because they have been overly hunted.  To this day, they are a protected species.  The RINOs of Butler County are also a protected species—they are protected by the State Central Committee but in reality they need to be hunted and thinned for the sake of Liberty.  Because, they are over grazing and stripping away all the wonderful resources our fine county provides with a bottomless pit of hunger that always needs to be fed. If Patti weren’t so rich with what they want to eat, they’d erode away with the desire to have full stomachs that could never be filled.  So while we want to preserve the Serengeti Rhinos we want to hunt the Butler County RINOs to near extinction for the good of all of us.

Patti lists them above the way an African hunter might mount the head of her trophies on a wall for the admiration of her peers.  As she poses next to each picture of all her trophies she looks like a Cabela’s ad for new hunting gear.  Except Patti doesn’t just mount those RINOs on her wall, she breeds them first and is heavily responsible for the over population of RINOs in Butler County that we currently have—the insidious money hungry establishment types who are stripping away everything our county offers in favor of their full bellies.

If you want to hunt them and thin out the herd of RINOs that are migrating all over Ohio, then vote for Ann Becker to return the county of Butler to its natural beauty by preventing the overgrazing of the RINOs that Patti Alderson feeds so passionately.  Put a stop to Patti Alderson’s zoo full of overgrazing RINOs—and vote to preserve Butler County.

You can early vote NOW!

Why Patti Alderson is Terrible for State Central Committee: Vote for Ann Becker and make the world a better place

As I have been advocating for Ann Becker to replace Patti Alderson on the State Central Committee seat it’s important to understand who the socialite is and why she needs to be replaced.  I often say there is a lot you can learn about a person by the way they dress.  Well, further you can tell a lot about people by their biographies and resumes.  Personally, I have found this particularly difficult for me to display myself because I have such a colorful background with so many aspects to attempt to cover.  In publishing for instance they want you to zero in on just things that are specific to the relevancy of your published work.  So I’ve never enjoyed doing them because they feel like I’m always leaving out bits of myself.  The same holds true for professional tasks—things you get paid for.  If you are doing high level work people don’t necessarily care if you like to read and climb mountains for recreation.  They just want to know what you can do for them and how much money you can make.  However, a phony is someone who tries to include everything they’ve ever done to attempt to pad their experience into appearing vast when in fact they are just social monstrosities who have only obtained anything in their life through their marriage and the luck of the draw financially.  That likely is the situation with Patti Alderson as she exhibited quite gloriously in the bio she provided on her campaign website.  Notice how she includes just about everything she’s ever done for anybody, almost as ridiculous as including going to restroom, taking out the trash, and hosting latté sipping meetings with Lakota levy supporters for the purpose of raising property taxes on residents not as rich as she is—then calling herself a Republican because the candidates gather at her house looking for a donation to their war chests.

Here’s the problem with this listing, if I listed everything I’ve done over the last 30 years—like she has—I couldn’t contain the contents on less than ten pages of similar exhibition.   I mean she lists things like her involvement in the West Chester Tea Party and her husband’s political endeavors as parts of her experience.  She also listed a phone bank on Election Day for George Bush.  Those are ridiculous things to mention.  For instance, and I only mention it because its relevant to this blog site and concerns Patti directly because of dealings I’ve had with her through mediators—but I would never consider mentioning the $10,000 that was donated through Yes to Lakota Kids and all the media work I did for that campaign as part of my “history” even though it was more than successful.  If I listed every little thing the way she has it would be a small booklet.  Patti’s involvement with the West Chester Tea Party is interesting—I went to nearly every meeting they had from 2010 to 2013 and she was never there.  She contributed some space she had in one of her properties to Ann Becker so that she could keep tabs on the group, but withdrew that support after Ann went after John Boehner’s speaker seat for being an ineffectual RINO.  The West Chester Tea Party was then booted out to the street to find another location as area establishment Republicans went on a quiet crusade to destroy the group.   I don’t see that Patti mentioned anything about any of that.  She just mentioned the West Chester Tea Party on her bio as if she were some kind of member. That certainly lends speculation to the relevancy of all her listings.

What I see when reading all this is a modern woman who is struggling to appear as a liberated female from behind the rather large professional shadow of her husband.   She doesn’t have much experience at anything except what the money they’ve made has allowed her to enjoy from strictly a top down position.  It’s easy to sit on boards of directors when the people who put you there only want the money and resources that you could provide them with.  It’s quite another thing to slug it out on the ground level the way that Ann has had to do—and earn everything that they’ve ever achieved the hard way. Patti’s bio is quite clearly one written by a woman wanting to appear as a self-achieving feminist who wants to be socially enamored.  Now that is specifically something she needs to resolve within herself and her family—but she includes everyone in her district when she runs for private office with public motivations that have an impact on elections with an obvious neurosis not founded in self-reliance.

I have seen Patti and her husband at a Tea Party event in Liberty Township where Susan McLaughlin and Katy Kern were singing praises to her for some contribution she made.  Patti seemed pretty happy to be put in the spotlight that way, which I suppose was nice.  But at West Chester, she shortly withdrew her support of Ann Becker’s West Chester Tea Party after the 2012 elections when Becker came out against John Boehner and John Kasich—because neither politician had shown themselves to be “conservative” enough.  About that time Susan moved in the direction of Patti, membership declined dramatically in Liberty Township at the Tea Party group there, and a small little war within the Republican Party emerged with people like Ann and I on one side, then Patti and Susan on the other.  Of course Patti is friends with everyone, at least socially.  However her actions behind the scenes can be quite scandalous.  Nobody of any authority has called her out on anything, because essentially they all wanted to be invited to her next event—for the opportunity to solicit funds for their future campaigns.  That’s not to say she’s a bad person, but from personal experience, I can’t say that she has anything of any experience to dictate that she’s anything but a socialite who sways to the political left, and intends to hold the Republican Party of Butler County in that philosophic position with her influence gained exclusively through campaign contributions.  Her padded bio adds fuel to that fire by confirming her vast insecurities as a modern woman who wants to be everything to everybody but can’t hide the fact that she just got lucky and married the right guy.  That might make her a nice neighbor and charitable donor—but to sit on an important seat in a significant Central Committee position that makes decisions for the future of the Republican Party—Ann Becker is by far the best choice.

By the way, I’ll never forget the events that led up to this.http://www.lakotaonline.com/videos.cfm?vid=10436

We made a deal before this meeting to not put the levy on the ballot which I was largely responsible for, along with others.  Patti was working with the board to advance a tax increase on private property.  And she wants to run the Republican Party?  She needs to put that on her “bio,” that she supported tax increases on property her friends develop.  She put everything else on there.  Why not that?  Because she’s a Republican in Name………………………..Only.
