How to Beat a Radicalized Judiciary: Why the Ninth Circuit of Appeals judges are so incredibly stupid

I have a lot of experience with judges.  I’ve known them very personally, and I’ve been in front of them…………a lot.  I know a lot of lawyers too and I have watched over the last 25 years or so the severe degradation of the legal professions due to the declining intellect of those who would seek such occupations.  But never have I heard such sheer stupidity reflecting the destruction of the American intellect to such an extent as I did in listening to Judge Friedland, Judge Clifton and Judge Canby of the Ninth Circuit of Appeals as they considered solicitor general Noah Purcell’s argument that President Trump’s Executive Order calling for extreme vetting from seven countries seething with terrorist plots was justified.  After listing to the following oral debates, if I were President Trump I’d simply write another executive order that goes far beyond this current one and keep these guys busy in contemplation for the next year to simply wipe them out-of-the-way.  Because these guys weren’t interested in the merit of the Executive Order or the rights of the president—they were simply using case-law as a means to rewrite the intent of the Constitution which grants a president of the United States the privilege of protecting our borders from hostilities interpreted by him.

Being a judge and even an attorney of the legal profession—the way that John Adams practiced it, was a noble profession which required ceaseless reading and a yearning for the blindness of justice from the philosophic position of high ethics and personal nobility—when a person decided to become a judge, or an attorney, they were dedicating themselves toward the intelligent pursuit of scholarship for life.  The best of them would stay up all night reading briefs and case-law always yearning to understand a foundation argument to solidify a baseline philosophy of justice as understood by the architecture of a civilization’s common understandings.  That is not the quality of any of the minds arguing the immigration executive order from Donald Trump.  Not a single person on that call was what I’d consider an intelligent person which perfectly illustrates the deplorable condition of our current legal system.

Those participants were either activist judges seeking to make their mark in history by defying a president they politically disagreed with or they were just incompetent for a job of this magnitude and had become soft over time intellectually because they had spent their careers essentially unchallenged.  It is quite obvious that these judges around the country are planning to be activists that reflect the political left and see themselves not as stalwarts of justice, but as soldiers for the Ideas of Woodstock which emerged in 1969 upon a muddy field of degradation and anti-Americanism.  These are not the type of people who can sustain a republic such as what we are in the United States.

Those in our legal professions need to be the best and brightest of our young people.  They need to love the idea of justice and the role of articulated philosophy tested against other bright minds in pursuit of the purity of deductive thinking—or otherwise the Socratic principle of oratory discrimination so that the stupid are slapped away from the gates of judgment and only the best and brightest among us write the laws for which the philosophy of our nation grows.  The members of the Ninth Circuit of Appeals in San Francisco on this highly contested case are not those types of people.  They are terrestrial slugs meddling among the animal desires of mankind seething with an artificial compassion rooted in liberal activism without the merit of sustained thought to challenge their premise. They just assume by default that their method of thinking is the blind eyes of justice—only because they have closed their eyes not to the facts, but the illusion of sentiment.

If I were Trump and I heard the condition of the current Department of Justice attorneys available to argue this case since he has not yet had time to reform that corrupted arm of the law—destroyed literally by Eric Holder and Loretta Lynch recently—I’d write several executive orders that essentially do much the same thing and I’d overload these courts with mindless debate for years crushing their minds with their own mundane yearning for starlit success and a gravestone that indicates they fought against Trump.  Because that’s all they really want to do—is defy Trump.  They don’t care about the intelligence reports available to Trump that they don’t have access to.  They don’t care about the covert operations that are going on in Yemen, Libya and Iraq as I write this, that might spark retaliation against our domestic interests.  They only want to be on the record in defying the president of the United States so that the judiciary can make their claim at running the country and setting the stage for a future battle in the Supreme Court over Roe v. Wade.  If they win this fight—they think—then Trump’s appointees may have second thoughts of overturning that unconstitutional ruling which was allowed by these same type of activist judges to interpret the facts to suit their liberal sentiment painted with a modern brush against the tapestry of stupidity.

What these judges really fear is work, so give them so much to discuss at such a pace that they don’t have the man-hours to possibly ever do it all, and crush them with their own mediocrity.  That’s what I would do if I were Trump.  I wouldn’t wait for these idiots to rule in your favor or even to challenge them in the Supreme Court.  I’d just overload their plate until they choke on their own inefficiencies.  Write an executive order that calls for extreme vetting for all countries so that they can’t proclaim that the issue is one of religion.  And let people complain to the courts that they’ve been inconvenienced by a radical court system that forced the issue for the security of the nation.  We’ve never said that President Trump’s Executive Order denied people entry into the United States—instead it was “extreme vetting.”  Well, that could apply to anybody.  If the courts want to make a big deal about religion, well take away that excuse and make it about everyone.  Why not, the TSA already does that with every hot woman who goes through their scanners, and white guy who looks like they won’t beat the shit out of them for trying to look like they are doing their jobs while they let a turban headed migrant with a full beard carrying a Quran marked up with “Death to America” written across its cover to walk right on by without incident because they don’t want to be blamed for being “insensitive” to a “religion.”  Make the next executive order not about the 7 most suspect countries but include all of the current caliphate countries including those of the central African nations—and let’s see where that puts us.

There are more ways to skin a cat folks, and when we are dealing with people who are this stupid, they are easy to beat.  So let them argue this case in court for the next two years.  Meanwhile, let’s load them up with so much work that they just throw up their arms and beg for retirement.  Because we don’t need people with such low intellectual ability to be making such important decisions on our behalf because it weakens the success of our republic—which stands on the foundations of law and order.  Such people are not capable of interpreting either and they need to be forced into retirement so we can appoint people of a higher intellect, because they are out there.  But they are sitting on the bench waiting for these lifetime appointments to expire who were given the job due to their political activism in the first place like that Judge Friedland joke appointed by Obama.  Give them so much work to do that they are forced to retire and give up the seat so that Trump can appoint much more sensible appointees.   Attack them at their true weaknesses—their lack of real intellect and their inherit laziness—and that is how to beat a radicalized judiciary. Load up the scales of justice so that they are forced to lift up the blindfold across their eyes so they can see that where they are standing is not in the republic of the United States, but the eroded away ideas of Oxford and the last remnants of the Roman Empire as it slowly crumbled away in modern Europe where judges like these have already destroyed that culture.  And force those judges aside so that much more intelligent legal minds can emerge and do the job that is required to sustain our sovereignty against the failures of the current world.

The Weakness of Judge James L. Robart’s Position: How to beat that bow tie wearing loser into oblivion and protect Trump’s E.O.

As we look around to the villains who have caused so much destruction to the American way of life over the last few decades the mechanisms of tyranny have certainly showed themselves publicly after Donald Trump’s inauguration.  Many of us who voted for Trump suspected the depth of the situation, but I think we are all surprised at how radical and openly anti-American they truly have been—and the case of Judge James L. Robart is a perfect example.  As an appointed U.S. District Judge from the socialist utopia of Seattle, Washington he took great pride in thumbing his nose at the civilian appointment of Donald Trump to the Executive Branch stopping the Executive Order temporarily that aggressively investigates refugees from terrorist inspired countries to prevent their border transfer like a Trojan Horse into our domestic concerns.  And to read his reasoning as objectively as possible the only determination that can be made is that he’s simply a radical left-winged loon that has a sole function protecting the open border concerns of the globalist left-leaning insurgents who have targeted the United States as the last bastion of freedom. Two sources that talk about this issue are listed below to provide some backdrop along with some specific text to explain why the Department of Justice was blocked by an appeals court preserving the Judge’s attack on Trump’s Executive Order. Then I of course outline how this case can be won since the Department of Justice wavered in its oral arguments on February 3rd.  Since they can’t figure it out on their own I tell them how to win this case in favor of Donald Trump.  (Get with the program people, these losers are easy to beat)

https://www.wsj.com/articles/seattle-judge-used-broad-power-to-halt-executive-order-1486232039

Judge James L. Robart did not have to actually rule on the legality of President Donald Trump’s executive order barring people from seven countries from entering the United States.

In granting a temporary restraining order, the judge essentially had to decide that the plaintiffs (the states of Washington and Minnesota):

  1. were likely to succeed at a later date
  2. that people in those states could suffer irreparable harm if the ban continued
  3. that blocking the President’s order was in the public interest.

In other words, he decided there was more harm letting the ban continue than there was blocking it until the full case could be heard.

He questioned Department of Justice lawyer Michelle Bennett, who was representing the Trump administration, asking, “How many arrests have there been of foreign nationals from those seven countries since 9/11”?

The Sept. 11 attack was one of the rationales behind the executive order, according to the Trump administration.

“I don’t know the specific details of attacks or planned attacks,” said Bennett, who is from the DOJ’s Civil Division.

“The answer to that is none, as best I can tell,” said the judge.

“The rationale was not only 9/11,” Bennett said. “It was to protect the United States from the potential for terrorism.”

Congress gives the president wide latitude in foreign affairs, which includes granting visas.

“The court doesn’t get to look behind those determinations,” she added.

But the judge answered: “I’m also asked to look and determine if the executive order is rationally based. And rationally based, to some extent, means I have to find it grounded in fact instead of fiction.”

Temporary restraining orders generally last up to 14 days. They can be extended, but the idea is to hold a full hearing on an injunction instead. Of course, a higher court can overturn the restraining order in the meantime.

Robart has a history of saying what he thinks. He was nominated for the federal bench by President George W. Bush in 2003. He was confirmed unanimously in a 99-0 vote by the Senate in June 2004.

Before that, he was a lawyer in private practice in Seattle. He has worked with at-risk youth in that city and, before becoming a judge, Robart represented refugees from Southeast Asia.

Last year, Robart presided over a case alleging excessive force by Seattle police brought be the Obama administration’s Justice Department. During a hearing, he used FBI statistics to note that police use of deadly force in cities in the U.S. involved 41 percent of black people, despite them being only 20 percent of the population living in those cities.

Robart took a breath and said, “black lives matter.”

 

http://www.npr.org/2017/02/04/513446463/who-is-judge-james-l-robart-and-why-did-he-block-trumps-immigration-order

Essentially what all that means is that the swamp in Washington D.C. extends well beyond into every aspect of our legal system and has been corrupted there by many years of liberal instruction in our university system for which our law schools are grossly left-leaning.  So the first step is in forcing radical judges to reveal themselves as this Robart guy has, then taking action to minimize their assault against American interests.  People like this Judge Robart lunatic are like cat people who take in every stray animal on the street then wonder why they piss all over the house, and nobody wants to date them for the odor and narcosis of their bad decisions.  As well-meaning as Robart thinks he is, the ultimate meaning behind his actions is defiance toward national sovereignty with an emphasis on spreading the world’s problems to every crevice of society.  And if the first function of government is to protect the American people from threats foreign and domestic—which is what Trump has done with his Executive Order.  The actions of this judge are a hostile action taken against our Constitutional government.

As is clear from the provided text in the NPR report Judge Robart is a “black lives matters” supporter which is another extreme radical organization sponsored by communist insurgents designed to overthrow order in our cities where the minority population of only 20 percent do most of the damage involving crime, murder, and consumption of law enforcement resources.  So this Seattle judge has “change” in mind, not “order” while making a determination if Trump’s Executive Order is rooted in “fact” instead of “fiction” based on using 9/11 standards as the foundations for determining terrorist patterns of attack. The fact of the matter is that future terrorists will likely come from other places—such as the 7 scrutinized countries identified by Trump’s E.O. and not those from the past leaving strategic assessment to be based on incoming intelligence which Robart doesn’t have and could never have—so his scope of the facts are tainted negating him from even providing a judgment on the matter.

Not to tell Department of Justice lawyer Michelle Bennett how to do her job, but, seriously, Judge James L. Robart based his entire challenge on the foundations of fiction because only the Trump administration had the facts to make such determinations which created the language of the Executive Order mentioned.  Some radical loon from Seattle doesn’t get to decide national security so the argument had nothing to do with an executive order being “rationally based” as determined by the cast of Saturday Night Live for which the Judge is obviously a fan.  (He’s actually funnier)  He has simply overstepped his authority, the appeals process has shown that it is in lockstep with the radicalism of these circuit judges—making decisions on activism desires and not legal necessity.

http://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/politics-government/national-politics/article130501609.html

If the Department of Justice would like me to argue the case for them I’d be happy to, and additionally would enjoy blasting the reputation of this fool Judge James L. Robart into oblivion in the process.  I’m sure Michelle can turn this situation around now that the shock of the arrogance of this ruling has been revealed and the chess moves by the political left have been witnessed-from the press conference to the way outlets like CNN ran with the story.  It is easy at this point to destroy the Robart case for his preservation of terrorist expansion from the war-torn regions of the world and onto our door steps because he’s working from a corrupted mind polluted with liberal values and talking points—like “black lives matters” rhetoric.  Such a person shouldn’t even be on any government payroll because he fails to do the first function of government—protecting the American citizens.  In order to do that you have to define America’s borders and begin from that basic foundation which leftists seek to erase allowing judges like Robart to act in such a way without detection of their true intentions.  But now that this issue has been exposed, President Trump can act accordingly in his future judicial appointments.  After all, we now know that James L. Robart was appointed by George W. Bush so over Trump’s years in office a lot of this radicalism can be undone with his future appointments.  Bush was a globalist and part of the mistakes of the past and Trump has been the answer.  Fixing these issues are part of draining the swamp—but as we can see—that process extends well beyond Washington D.C. into the target audience of the average Starbucks consumer—in Seattle, Washington where they are out of control under a socialist city council and a progressive civil war with the more rural residents of their state.  And we are just getting started.

It is important to understand that Trump’s Executive Order was not unjustified; it was just weakly protected by Michelle Bennett from the Department of Justice.  She obviously got jostled in her arguments by a bunch of radical lunatics.  If she’d like help, just call me.  I’d love to argue the beard off that fat face of a bow tie wearing bitch and disgrace him verbally to such an extent that he’d be haunted into the netherworld of the hereafter. The judge and the state did not base their opinion of the Executive Order based on the facts of the intelligence available to Donald J. Trump and that invalidates their criteria.  So get in there on Monday and give these idiots hell, because they deserve it—and then some.  Additionally, understand that you can never trust a person who wears a bow tie.  Like mustaches, bow ties indicate that something is wrong with the person wearing it—so you cannot trust their sanity. Remember that during the next oral argument.

The Berkeley Protests: Dealing with the failures of public education and college

I told you, I told you……..I told you dear reader—for many years now. What we witnessed during a protest at UC Berkeley over a scheduled appearance by right-wing provocateur Milo Yiannopoulos turned fiery and violent Wednesday night, prompting police to cancel the event and hustle the Breitbart News editor off campus.  Many of the kids in that protest were freshmen and even still in grade school when I was doing radio interviews indicating that the educations they were getting in public school were communist leaning and radical.  After all, what is a teacher’s union but a radical organization constructed around the philosophy of socialism and communism—straight off the pages of The Communist Manifesto?  When I said these things publicly in 2010 angry public education supporters would write the newspapers and radio stations angrily protesting that “they” (the media outlets) were “normalizing” people like me for providing coverage hoping they would stop.  Meanwhile, this is what those same radical lunatics were up to—programing all these delicate youth into radicalized anti-capitalists who would act aggressively against any proposed economic theory but Marxism—or some derivative of it.

http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Protesters-storm-Milo-Yiannopoulos-event-at-UC-10901829.php

It didn’t matter, I had my own publication and didn’t need the mainstream press, so I continued doing my thing warning people of what was happening in our education institutions—public schools and colleges, as I saw fit—and the effect has been a positive one. Publications like my Overmanwarrior’s Wisdom have done their jobs—similar as Breitbart which has exploded in readership over the last half decade—even to the point where the latest leader is now next to the President of the United States in the White House.  So the protests and threats of violence from the political left has done nothing to stop people like me and those at Breitbart, and other places from speaking the truth of these very important matters.

Much in the way that Betsy DeVos is barely able to clear confirmation in the Senate, people like Milo Yiannopoulos have been decried as “anti-education” when the fact of the matter is quite the opposite. The communist lovers have controlled public education for a long time and they still have sympathies in that direction which run deep which is why Betsy DeVos is a tremendous threat to the natural order of things.  Her confirmation into Trump’s administration is a death-blow to the type of education that created the radicals running around Berkeley—because they want to keep things the way they are now—producing the kind of idiots that protested at Berkley over Milo Yiannopoulos.  Our education system needs to be much better than it is now, and I consider it an insult, and a theft to take my tax money and spend it on these idiots—because the system obviously doesn’t work.  You might say I’m not anti-education, and that would certainly be true of Betsy DeVos—but that education reformers are anti-stupidity.

I wish terribly that we lived in an American culture where three syllable words were normal conversation attributes—that belching, farting, and bad personal conduct were not celebrated within our public schools as acts of animal barbarism and teachers inspired students to actually reach for the stars and be better people in all aspects of their life. I wish people liked to read more, and built their lives around acts of intelligence instead of the lowest animal actions that we have now as human beings. Plato’s Republic is one of my favorite books and I yearn for a society that has the kind of debates on all sides of a problem that were exhibited in that great classic piece of literature—even though I’m more of an Aristotle person myself.

To me Plato was kind of a hippie, but he did good, intelligent work and I love it.  But what is going on now in education is nothing like what I expect it to be and I started being let down by it as early as kindergarten.  I personally never liked public school because it fell short of my expectations for it.  I always viewed it as a place that parents who didn’t “really” love their children dropped them off to be rid of them for the day time hours—and I feel that way now more than I did as a kid because now I have four decades of evidence that supports it.  Our public education system is a disgrace and the sum of our endeavor was grotesquely obvious when a skinny pants little brat hippie kid stood yelling in the streets of Berkeley waving a communist red flag that he probably learned about while watching the film Les Misérables. These kids have no idea what our history is or what they should think about anything because what they were taught were not facts—but liberal ideology—and they were also taught to shut down differing opinions so that their reality couldn’t be challenged—which is why those idiots were protesting at Berkeley. They didn’t want to hear from Milo, they wanted to threaten him and those who did want to hear some other point of view—which has been the theme of everything that has come from the political left in the wake of the Trump presidency.  They only want to shut down voices of opposition—they don’t want to reconsider their opinions and they threaten violence if pushed.

Trump is 100% right to threaten to pull federal funds from Berkeley because our tax money should never go to educating people into any form of Marxism—because it is counterproductive to the American way of life. And Betsy DeVos is the only hope we have of changing the public education monstrosity that we have now.  It is my hope that she will soon be allowed to do the job of undoing this whole public education mess and to replace it with something much better than we have now. A pile of shit would be better than we have now, so the bar for her achievement is pretty low in my eyes.  But it needs to happen now, not later because these stupid kids are growing up believing all the wrong things, and the next generation behind them is even worse off.  The time for action is certainly now—because there isn’t much time to fix it before those idiots dominate the voting blocs.  They want communism because they were taught in their public educations to think so.  And I warned you people for decades—and only now do you see it.  So don’t wait any longer.  Save them while we still can.  They might cry about it now, but they’ll thank you later.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Hyperloop Competitions at SpaceX: Let’s make this happen!

Although the political left does not like Donald Trump as president including Elon Musk, (who I think is a wonderful person) I would have never entertained an idea like the Hyperloop before the Trump inauguration.  Now after the first week of Donald Trump’s presidency the Dow closed at over 20,000 for the first time and many big ideas started moving forward, then the wonderful company of SpaceX hosted the Hyperloop competition in Los Angeles at their facility inviting colleges and engineering organizations from around the world to compete with designs of their own fresh perspectives in a very capitalists manner.  The Hyperloop is a radical transportation innovation that is wonderfully revolutionary.  When I was a kid I had something I played with like this design called Rocket Tubes for the Micronaut toy line.  Now under the sponsorship of Elon Musk the reality of Rocket Tubes is coming to life and taking its next evolutionary step.  Prototype designs have been gathered at SpaceX during the weekend of January 28th and 29th to see which works best in head to head competition.  Before Donald Trump’s presidency I couldn’t see any path forward for these liberal leaning dreamers—but under Trump’s presidency and perhaps his daughter Ivanka taking over in the years to come to keep continuity in the White House—Hyperloop as a transportation device may happen on a large continental scale.

http://www.spacex.com/hyperloop

Hyperloop is essentially a large rocket tube that allows passengers to travel at around 1000 miles per hour inside.  That means travel to Disney World in Orlando from Cincinnati would be one hour from a Hyperloop station in theoretical Monroe in the northern suburbs to the Kissimmee station at the gates to the famous theme park.  There are already plans for a Hyperloop line from Columbus, Ohio to Chicago, which would only take 30 minutes of travel time.  There is another proposal for a line from Columbus to Pittsburg in less than 15 minutes.  So for Ohio residents wanting to attend a Steelers game, just get on the Hyperloop and you’ll easily be in Pittsburg within 15 minutes. It takes longer to walk across a parking lot once you’ve parked at a stadium.  But first there are thousands upon thousands of engineering feats that have to be invented and that is the purpose of the Hyperloop competitions mentioned at SpaceX. As you are reading this just click the link above and you can see what’s left of them since most of my readers are on the east coast and will still have time to view the last entries of the day at that link.

In my old toy Rocket Tubes there was a large compressor that injected air into the tubes to move a little Micronaut man in a capsule through the tubes on a bed of air.  The compressor filled the tubes with airflow that actually overtook the weight of the capsule holding the man.  I played with that thing for hour and hours year after year.  I think I got the toy around 10 or 11 and it still worked when I got my first car at 16.  I loved it because it appeared to be a vision into a world of tomorrow.  Now the Hyperloop is that next generation of thinking and instead of just using compressed air to create a bed of air to ride on, the vehicles are expounding on the levitation magnets used in other high-speed rail around the world.  But, the Hyperloop technology further utilizes the removal of that air to create a close simulation to the vacuum of space to take away that wall of resistance that would otherwise build up at the front of the vehicle.  That is how the speeds can be so extremely fast.  Inside the car even at such high speeds you could sit as you would a train with a little drink on a table in front of you and watch the world literally go by outside at a 1000 miles an hour—and your drink wouldn’t spill.  Pretty cool.

As I’ve said about the sky car projects that are now becoming a quick reality which will take traffic to the air as opposed to ground congestion through major cities—having a Hyperloop line would be a tremendous asset—particularly for the shipping industry.  It would really benefit DHL, FedX, and Amazon by getting products from the west coast to the east in the same day as opposed to the expense of flying it against the weight restrictions of air travel.  And many of the Hyperloop lines could exist along existing highway routes—that big grassy area that sits between north and southbound lanes, or east and west, could easily hold a Hyperloop line without disturbing property owners with new acquisitions of property to get a nice network across the country within a short period of time—a decade or so.

Around the world I can think of fine examples of how the Eurostar has greatly helped transportation in Europe, which I plan to visit very soon to see for myself.  And then there is the bullet trains in Japan which I have some personal history with.  For instance I was meeting people for dinner recently in Kobe, Japan who were from as far south as Himeji.  I was staying at the Oriental Hotel and was meeting at the Ikuta Road steakhouse for dinner. By highway Himeji was about an hour to the south so I was emailing my guests as they were about to board the bullet train thinking that I’d get to the dinner location way ahead of them–after all I had a driver picking me up as I was heading to the elevator and from there the drive was only about 5 minutes. By the time I made it down to my car, spoke to a few people, drove down all the one way roads to arrive at the steakhouse, my guests were there, very relaxed and unhurried.  Those same people could easily get up to Tokyo for a night out by the same means, the train works very well in Japan—and its fast. I’m not big on big mass transit projects and traditional rail is just too slow and cumbersome.  But when it comes to the examples listed there are times when it’s just the right thing.  The Hyperloop would be the next generation of these transportation systems and could let us take advantage of great distances for further economic expansion.

Before Donald Trump the cost of the Hyperloop would have been prohibitive.  With 20 trillion in national debt and a world spinning out of control economically with China controlling all the chess pieces, there wasn’t much chance of the Hyperloop getting funded in America.  Too much regulation and bureaucratic red tape would have stood in the way.  Its one thing to dream of these things at SpaceX but quite another to get politicians to see the reason to fund it—the political will just hasn’t been there.  For instance, the Eurostar was privately funded, but it is still upside down and shows no sign of recovering the cost because there just isn’t any way to have enough people travel on it per day to justify the enormous cost of digging under the English Channel and building all the infrastructure to make it happen.  It’s a technical marvel—but was entirely too expensive for two economies that have been stagnant for years—the socialist country of France and the heavily restricted economy of England.  But in the United States with a projected economic expansion rate of over 5% with Trump’s policies, there may be a huge chance to pay down our debt, and actually come out ahead for the Hyperloop network in the 2020s—about the time that the engineers from this Hyperloop competition work out all the bugs with technical innovation.  It won’t take long.

My advice to Elon Musk is to drop all the discussion about carbon taxes and environmental thinking when talking to Donald Trump at the White House because that’s not going to happen.  It would also be good to stop complaining about his immigration policies.  The borderless world concept is done in America so if you want people to embrace Tesla, and to give Hyperloop a chance, you have a friendly president to those technologies so long as you don’t use more regulation to move people from oil based vehicles to electric ones.  My next car may be a Tesla and I’m not a green economy advocate. I would just want a Tesla because it most intelligently applies power to the wheels that hit the road as opposed to what’s out there.  I think the Tesla is a wonderful rethinking of the personal car.  I fully support Trump opening up the coal mines and drilling for oil in the United States so that we can have an economic renaissance like the UAE is experiencing with excess cash from their oil industry alone funding exciting new projects.  But I am open to new methods coming along to replace what we’ve had.  I am ready to see a leap in technology from a combustion engine to a Tesla, or from a commuter train to a Hyperloop—so long as what comes next advances our civilization.  The carbon tax issue and other environmental concerns from the political left will work themselves out if we truly move into space as a human race—where there are full cities on Mars within a hundred or so years and the moon becomes a base of operations for deeper space travel.  We can’t restrict ourselves on earth economically, technically, and politically by fighting the wrong battles.  The human race has to leave the earth and these kinds of technologies take us to that point.  So keep the politics out of the Hyperloop and we could very well have them all over the United States over the next thirty years because they make sense.

With that said the Hyperloop races were very inspiring and provided a glimpse into the kind of nation and world we can become.  I know I’m ready for such a world.  I would love to leave for Orlando at 8 AM in the morning after grabbing a quick breakfast at McDonald’s and arriving an hour before Disney World opens so I could take advantage of the early open to pass holders.  After a day of fun I could be back with my family for dinner and never feel like I had just traveled all day needing to recover after sitting for so long.  The Hyperloop would make such a trip as common as driving to the grocery store for milk, and that would greatly expand our internal economic output, and GDP.  For instance it would greatly benefit me professionally to be able to same day ship from California to West Chester, Ohio because often lead times on things I need mostly involve transit times and ridiculous shipping costs by air.  Hyperloop could dramatically reduce those costs—so it’s very exciting.  But first, we have to get through this infancy period with a president who gets it and can sell it to the politicians.  And that’s what Donald Trump can do that others had no chance at before.  So make friends, keep dreaming, and let’s make this happen!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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