The Downfall of the Credentialed Class: When people can’t purchase their value to society, and have to earn it

While it’s true, this is a fight that has just begun to be fought, and things are far from over. The truth is, something very specific died on election night in 2024.  It is a problem that goes back to the first human civilizations on earth, to Mesopotamia, and their social structure, which has rebelled for over 5000 years.  It is the long fight between personal initiative and sacrifice to great universal forces.  Along the way, many power brokers have sought self-importance by being the broker between life and eternity.  There was always a class of people who stood between daily life and a relationship with the eternal and claimed to interpret what reality was based on by their power-acquiring perspective.  Trump’s first term was a threat demanded by free people, even to conceive the concept of abandoning those power brokers because the American Constitution dared to give a country of people that kind of power.  Or rather, to not give the government the assumption of that power.  But we have never really understood the Constitution.  I tasted this valiant effort a few years into Biden’s time in the White House when I took my family to visit Mt. Rushmore.  I had wanted to do it for a very long time, and we just decided to get away from Biden’s world and get out into the deserts and mountains of the Wild West.  And we made a family pilgrimage to Mt. Rushmore, which is something I will never forget; I’m glad we did it.  It was hard to do with so many people from my family.  I had read the Constitution many times and been a part of Tea Party groups for over a decade, but it was really at Mt. Rushmore where it all came together for me. 

The difference between the right and left and who should rule society in general.

What died on Election Night 2024 was the credentialed class, those people who believe in life that performance is not as important as purchased merit.  The kind of people who think they can buy their way to success in life, whether buying a college education at a particular school and that alone would give value to the person attending.  Or even buying a new set of golf clubs, where purchasing the items would be enough to be accepted into peer groups without being good at the game.  The Kamala Harris campaign team started their run for the presidency in the summer of 2024, and over four months, they wasted over a billion dollars of campaign donations believing that the merits of running for President of the United States could be purchased, not earned which ended up being the ultimate failure of their campaign.  And buzzing in the background, the anxiety for the government efficiency group being headed up by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy is the shattering of the belief that a credentialed class of people would continue to rule over humanity.  Those who bought a college degree and used it to buy their way into a government job that paid well, had lots of time off, and didn’t require anybody to do anything productive were going to be the continued way that humans did business, have had their realities shattered.  But if they had been paying attention, they would have known what I did and what was displayed at Mt. Rushmore in South Dakota.  I consider it one of the best holy pilgrimages I’ve ever taken, and it was a clear hint into the results of the 2024 election. 

Trump ran a campaign for a fraction of the cost that the Kamala team spent, and that goes along the line of credentialed belief that the political left has built their entire party around, which is the essential debate between the Hebrew people and the people of Canaan.  Did the Canaanites have a right to exist as indigenous people of that land or be driven away by the chosen people, the Hebrews, just because God freed them from slavery in Egypt and decided to give them the land that is still under dispute by all the same kinds of people?  How could people earn land and be given it, as the credentialed types ask, because to earn something, you have to have an asserted value that is not shared by some communist view of the world, where everyone owns everything and to gain power in a culture like that you have to be given by that society a credential?  And the way things have been, if you bought a credential and threw money at the system, whether it be a college education or the political gatekeepers in the media, you would be given power.  You didn’t have to earn it.  But that was always wrong; America was designed to free people of a credentialed class, even though, at the time, Founding Fathers like George Washington were creations of a credentialed class.  They could at least conceive what abandoning that long-held belief would look like and fought it out into a Constitution and Bill of Rights, which was quite an extraordinary document.  And yes, it has taken everyone another 250 years to figure it out, and the presidency of Barack Obama shook everyone to their foundations enough to put Trump in office as a direct response. 

Trump won the election for many reasons, most of which was the freedom to vote by a people who wanted to self-govern and not support a credentialed class of people who would otherwise rule over them as overlords.  The Kamala Harris people altogether and arrogantly ignored any notion of winning elections other than control by a credentialed class being given power rather than earning it.  Trump provided a brand from his Trump Organization that professed personal value and effort and to enjoy the finer things in life by working personally hard and smart individually.  When Trump sells luxury, it’s an individual experience, not a collective one.  And anybody who worked hard would have a shot at the good things in life, rather than a society of overseers who come into power through credentials they purchased but didn’t earn through merit.  And the Kamala people never planned to earn anything.  They spent money like a drunken sailor on everything to buy the presidency and never thought for a second that they had to earn that right.  And now that it has blown up in their face, they fear the same rules will apply everywhere, in every job, in every layer of society for which they have built their lives.  And my answer to them is that it was always a house of cards, even though humans have been doing it for a very long time.  It took America to come up with the idea of running their society without credentials but by merit.  And it took even longer to recognize what a merit-based society looked like, which was captured artistically at Mt. Rushmore by not only the sculpted faces but the location and story of their creation, from Washington to Jefferson, Lincoln to Roosevelt, these were presidents representing an extended period, and each specifically worked to free people from the chains of a credentialed class, and to set America loose based on personal merit and the treasures that come from such a pursuit.  And Trump was able to free people most of all by taking on the credentialled class and beating them after they threw everything they had at him, yet still lost.  Because ultimately, in America, people pick their government and their representatives.  They don’t rule them.  People select them, a concept that the credentialled class never understood, nor that they could do anything to stop people from wanting a divorce from those personal limitations.  They thought they could hide their lazy natures and their lack of developed skills from the public with the mask of credentialed value and that they wouldn’t be made into fools by people better than them, who outperformed them at every juncture.  But America was designed to create competition and to allow the best person to win, and to reject credentials and fuel innovation with personal input, removing those barriers for personal growth in order to perpetuate the human race in ways not yet realized but perpetually yearned for since the first person ever born took their very first breath.

Rebels, Rogues, and Outlaws: Without a piratical effort, corruption would have won in 2024

I’ve been telling conservatives since before even the Tea Party movement that they needed a piratical effort to fight conventional politics.  The reason they kept losing to an inferior socialist global plot was that they did not fight back.  They might have had good ideas, but they couldn’t defend them from radicalism, and Saul Alinsky understood that and used that knowledge to build the Democrat Party on very loose sand on a beach.  But they survived because they essentially turned off the water of ideas, so there was never a high tide of ideas to wash away the sand castles of assumptions that they had built.  So they could appear strong and superior because they controlled the water, not the ideas that propelled society, keeping their dumb ideas from washing away.  But the first thought I had when Mika Brzensnski and Joe Scarborough flew to Mar-a-Lago to have a meeting with President Trump, after all the trouble they have caused him over the last 8 years, I put the credit more toward the WarRoom audience of podcasters who had formed to create alternative MAGA media, more than the valiant efforts of President Trump.  Not to take anything away from Trump, he needed to be tough and drive through all the opposition to win this massive election of 2024.  In this second American Revolution, he will go down in history as the modern George Washington, and nobody can take it away from him the day he was shot in the head, and his first instinct was to stand up and pump his fist in the air yelling fight, fight, fight, to a roaring crowd.  Nobody worked harder than Trump, but he couldn’t have done it alone. Instead, what had been missing from these rebellious enterprises is the pirate element of the modern versions of John Paul Jones, which is precisely how Steve Bannon sees himself, and the work of the WarRoom podcast over the last four years that has become a powerhouse in media.

Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro spent the summer in jail for defying a corrupt January 6th Congressional Committee that was attempting to hide election fraud and the crimes of Covid behind some government insurrection they created to have a coup against President Trump and to send a warning across the bow of all Trump supporters the Department of Justice prosecuted many of the people shown in the new book by WarRoom Books, Rebels, Rogues, and Outlaws released right around the election to commemorate all the great work done by the people who set up and became the voices of the WarRoom posse, as they like to call themselves.  I rushed out to get the book because, like the Trump coffee table books, this is a big book that is mostly pictures but one that captures this period of history extremely well.  The people celebrated in the book are some of the people who, if they didn’t do what they did, there wouldn’t have been a successful MAGA media to challenge the mainstream media and their capture of everything people saw and heard.  Like John Paul Jones harassed under the guidance of Ben Franklin, the most powerful navy in the world during the First Revolution, the equivalent these days was the global mainstream media, and what was done by the WarRoom during this Second American Revolution was on the same scale.  We needed a place in the media where the rebels and outlaws could help the American cause of preserving the Constitution and selling it to the world.  That is precisely what was captured in this new book: the efforts of many people who did not do the safe thing and sat on the sidelines.  They worked the behind-the-scenes stuff to a massive effect.  One of the reasons that election fraud was managed better in this 2024 election, and we did learn that Trump won during the prime time hours and that cheating didn’t go on to keep him out of office in the days after that, was because of the pressure of the WarRoom. 

I’ve seen this pirate effect work up close and have been doing it myself for a long time.  So, I have been telling thousands of people how to do it.  And Steve Bannon was just the kind of guy to do it, as he had done over at Breitbart after Andrew died suddenly.  Steve carried that alternative media to significant levels and was recruited by the Trump team during the first term as a key strategist.  However, the pressure mounted by the traditional forces and Steve left the White House and essentially started the WarRoom podcast, which reported news twice daily and even on Saturdays, far better than anything the mainstream media was doing.  What the WarRoom was able to do was essentially replace The Drudge Report with alternative news and The Rush Limbaugh Show for the conservative audience once he died shortly after Biden took office in 2021.  Those were some very dark days.  I continued doing my own pirate efforts, and they worked very well.  But there weren’t many places to go for news until the upstart Real America’s Voice provided a place for people who were sick beyond sick with the betrayal of Fox News.  And the WarRoom started partnering with them to provide what many have since called MAGA media. 

Good, it will save us from firing them

But this isn’t just about a successful media enterprise. Many of the people pictured in that book were openly harassed by an established order of criminal-level government that grotesquely abused their power. This is one of the reasons that Trump has indicated that he has no other pick for Attorney General other than Matt Gaetz, who is also featured in the book.  Many names, like Mike Lindell, who had very successful companies, were personally sought after to be destroyed because they supported President Trump and were the kind of people who stuck with it every day and fought back with everything they had.  Alex Jones is in the book, and we all saw what they tried to do to him.  So is Rudy Guiliani, who, as of yesterday, had lost everything he had but a good cigar and openly laughed at the forces of evil that were trying to destroy him with bankruptcy utterly.  No, Trump is going to support those who fought hard in the background to put him back in office, and to a large extent, that is why the Morning Joe crew at MSNBC had to bend the knee to Trump, as is most of the media.  Oh, don’t get any fancy ideas of reconciliation.  These people are out of gas and are in that condition mainly because of the WarRoom as a media outlet.  Charlie Kirk is one of the brightest political minds of modern times, and he is featured in that book.  And I love the book because history will look very kindly on all the people in it and many who didn’t make it.  I think people like Grace Chong should undoubtedly be in it, but probably isn’t because she doesn’t like to draw attention to herself.  There are many more who aren’t in the book, but those who are are examples of how to do these things in the future, and we need to remember who they are and what they did to help save America.  And the effort that actually requires people to fight back and not just take what an established order gives you.  And without these outlaws of a criminal government, we would not have had the election win of 2024 that we did have.  This is why the book Rebels, Rogues, and Outlaws is such an important book to remember of these very dark times.

Matt Gaetz is an Excellent Pick for Attorney General: People can have their faces melt all they want, but justice is coming–it has to

First of all, I think Matt Gaetz is an excellent pick for Attorney General.  He has proven to be one of the few in elected office who is fearless and ready to do the right thing for the sake of it in Washington, D.C.  To many, that makes him a joke, because he is an uncompromising figure.  This sex scandal talk is just an attempt to paint him with some controversy in having a relationship with an underaged girl; we are dealing with a Biden administration where gay people had sex and filmed it in government buildings.  Outrage is a false alarm with that Beltway culture.  First of all, I don’t believe the accusation; it is similar to the kind of high school politics that Trump has been a victim of, where witnesses lie entirely about the content in an attempt to drive a national narrative.  People have seen enough now to know how to distinguish that kind of thing.  People lost faith in politicians upholding some moral standards a long time ago; what they want now is people who will at least do the job they were elected for, and Matt Gaetz has certainly shown that he is.  Because of Gaetz, Speaker McCarthy was removed, and Speaker Johnson is there now.  But how would Matt Gaetz be any less severe than the radical Eric Holder and the more recent lunatic Merrick Garland?  The humor is that there are some standards to apply that would make Matt Gaetz appear like a fringe candidate for the highest office of the Department of Justice.  To my eyes, Matt Gaetz is one of the few who have committed to the rule of law, which is why many of those Beltway types have been trying to get rid of him from the start.  No, I think Matt Gaetz is a great pick and shows a deep commitment to fixing the Department of Justice from its present state, a weaponized organization that is one of America’s greatest present domestic enemies.  People have arrived at that conclusion based on what they have seen. 

I think picking Matt Gaetz is a negotiating move.  That doesn’t mean that Trump doesn’t want him, but he might want to use Gaetz to draw fire while some of his other picks benefit from less scrutiny.   As Attorney General, Matt Gaetz is the most controversial of all Trump’s picks for his cabinet.  So I could see trading Gaetz out later for a more conventional or less controversial pick, such as Mike Davis of The Article III Project. The message here is that a member of the WarRoom podcast will be the Attorney General because many wrongs must be corrected.  The Department of Justice has been very disreputable, and it’s time for all that to change.  Don’t forget what the Department of Justice under Biden did to their political enemies.  Much of that wrath was thrown in the direction of Trump’s most trusted supporters, his former White House members, who formed the WarRoom during his last year in office to help with his re-election.  Several of them were thrown in jail by Merrick Garland, and Trump himself was harassed ruthlessly.  Incredibly, he survived, given the amount of power and unchecked menace that the Merrick Garland Department of Justice utilized even up to this last election.  And what’s worse, so many Republicans sat by and allowed it all to happen, hoping that Trump and his team would be gone for good.  We still have the utterly unconstitutional holding of the January 6th prisoners from 2021 to deal with.  There is quite a mess to clean up; it will take a personality like Gaetz.  And perhaps, the way Trump thinks, people will be so outraged by Gaetz that they’d be happy to get Mike Allen, who may not be as controversial on paper because fewer people know him, but he’s every bit as committed to the rule of law and the protection of that standard under the Constitution.

But there is no going back to normal for the Beltway culture, where they commit significant crimes and then sweep them under the rug to be protected by favors and nonsense. An Attorney General who keeps the investigations out of Washington D.C. and then will act to destroy any challengers to their easy money shake and bake system of international extortion and sinful enterprise.  It’s not a matter of revenge for Trump, but what did anybody expect?  Trump was let down by Jeff Sessions during his first term and then later by Bill Barr toward the end.  Trump has had a lot of time to think things over, eight years, and he will make this Attorney General position count.  It’s one of his most essential picks, and he won’t waste it on a typical Beltway politician.  So even if it turned out not to be Matt Gaetz, there are plenty of names just as good that Trump will put in that job.  The expectation is going to be complete reform because Trump and the people loyal most to him have suffered terribly under previous corrupt AGs.  People voted for this kind of change; they want control of the Department of Justice, not what they have seen from that position over the last several decades of vast disappointment. 

Yes, Matt Gaetz is a firebrand who runs a podcast by that same name.  His political brand is all fire and brimstone, the way that the WarRoom audience expects it.  And knowing the situation the way I do, Matt Gaetz would never trade away his ability to use that firebrand to do good in exchange for some sexual temptation.  Many other people in Washington, D.C., would, but that isn’t the kind of person that Matt Gaetz is. Instead, people hate him because they know what they have done themselves and are guilty of.  And they know they won’t survive if Matt Gaetz is the Attorney General.  Few people will, and that’s the way things need to be.  Actually, for those who have been counting, there are a lot of Democrats in Trump’s picks, Tulsi Gabbard, Elon Musk, Robert F. Kennedy, the kind of people that many people would squawk at previously as “liberals.”  And that would include Trump himself.  But Matt Gaetz is the red meat that makes putting up with all those liberals worth it and is part of the deal Trump has with his voters.  Trump might have softened up the Republican party with a bunch of converted Democrats to make the tent bigger and much more challenging to beat, winning the black and Latino voters.  But he is doing all that to get to this election cycle’s real meat and potatoes: controlling the Department of Justice and making the rule of law Great Again.  On that front, we have a target rich environment where corruption has been ruling the day.  And Trump has been a victim of it for more than eight years now.  And now it’s his time to fix it for good, and he won’t waste that pick again knowing what he does now.  And people can have their faces melt all they want.  But, they brought all this on themselves.  Having Matt Gaetz or another WarRoom personnel heading the Department of Justice is the point of winning the presidency, and people gave Trump a mandate that he will not throw away to preserve a system that is obviously out of control.  And there is no way to reform them now, only to get rid of them and prosecute them ruthlessly, as they have shown themselves to be if left unchecked.

We Just Had A Revolution, and Democrats Lost: Don’t cry about it now that justice must be enforced

You can hear it in my voice if you go back to the first videos of my Rumble account, watch my face, and study what I was saying.  Especially after January 6th, which I commented on right away before the sun was even up in the aftermath, I noted that many of the federal people at the Capitol were lucky more people didn’t get hurt.  I talked to many people about an open revolution in those cold, dark months of 2020 and 2021.  I told them to follow the rules of our republic because if you break the rules, you can’t use the rules to gain power again without significant violence as a contributor.  And I’m very proud of those statements because look where we are.  I was so upset about that election that my wife and I went into the desert of New Mexico and many other desolate places out West, and while I was out there, I wrote a book, which I finished in a snowstorm in Roswell, New Mexico.  It was a very dark time, but I preached peace to many people who were ready to pull the trigger, hoping to get to this day when Trump had a chance to get back in office.  I always saw the path, but I did wonder if the country would hold it together long enough to make it.  In many ways, because people held their cool, we were able to expose massive corruption, which we now have to deal with.  But to those Democrats who are now saying that they want a revolution in the streets to oppose President Trump, let me tell you, we already had that revolution, and it was Election Day.  We had to put up with what the Democrats did to us, which was terrible.  And what happens next is the only peaceful resolution.  Anything less would be open warfare against the Deep State, and they aren’t prepared for that.

That look on Joe Biden’s face when Trump returned to the White House was priceless.  The machine screwed over Biden himself, and he became a Trump supporter in the end.  So what we saw was a complete rejection of the globalist, Democrat party communist machine.  And Trump is doing precisely what he was elected to do: pick people for government positions that will do what the people want.  And they have every right; they always did.  I always said before you grab your guns, use every method available to avoid violence.  Vote and protect your vote, and see what happens before you turn to the streets to overthrow your government with violence.  Take back your government and get control of it.  And I said this to many thousands of people at a time when it didn’t look like we’d ever get another chance.  It wasn’t apparent that we’d ever get a chance at another election.  But we made it to the 2024 election, and the results were dominating; not only did we win the White House back, but also the House and Senate, along with the Judiciary.  And Republicans picked up more leadership positions nationwide, from state houses to governors.  The Democrat platform was rejected everywhere, so there was never a more boisterous mandate for revolution than what the 2024 election provided.  And if I were members of the Deep State and the Administrative State, I’d consider myself lucky that you still have your heads.  It’s fantastic that we live in a country of rule of law where such a thing is possible and that people who do such evil things can at least get an honest day in court instead of being shot in the head by a pack of angry voters who had their lives ruined by Democrat politics.  As they look at the Trump government picks, they should consider themselves lucky. 

Trump returning to the White House and sitting down with Biden, with the Bidens both smiling, was a very narrow tract of victory, and many things had to happen correctly to make it occur.  But I walked everyone through it, and now here we are, and it happened.  As Elon Musk says, this will be the most consequential revolution the world has ever seen.  Nobody has to get hurt, and you can see that Biden is quite well aware of how the chess game has played out.  The Obama terrorism lost, the globalists lost their control over the people of America, and they get a chance to at least have an honest day in court, whether or not they deserve it.  But letting everyone off the hook was never an option.  Slow-walking Trump’s agenda by the RINOs in the Senate and everywhere else isn’t an option.  They all must accept Trump as our representative and the value of the vote behind what put him back in power.  Or, engage in open warfare much worse than anything they saw on January 6th.  Many in the Deep State pushed and shoved people toward hopelessness, hoping to topple our country into chaos essentially to hide their crimes.  They were hoping for the downfall of our country so they would never have to pay for their crimes, much the way things went with the French Revolution, where their society fell apart, and they fell under the control of an emperor as a result.  Many in the American government wanted to see the same thing happen in America.  But we stuck with the power of the vote, and now we have the opportunity of many lifetimes.  And we’re going to use it to full effect.

And what the Democrats lost most was their ability to manipulate the public with bottom-dweller sentiment.  As I have said all along, if you keep Democrats from cheating, they can’t win.  Now that we’ve survived this revolutionary period, we can reform voter laws back to ID and paper ballots and cut the globalists out of the process.  And that will give us more House and Senate seats in 2026, furthering the majority.  People will like what Trump is doing, and it certainly won’t cost him power.  So don’t fear elections, embrace them.  Make them fair and honest and use them to avoid open warfare.  But don’t be stupid and expect people to have as much patience as they did in 2020.  That was a once in a millennia kind of thing.  People were agitated, and their tempers only cooled because Trump could operate an exiled government from his home in Florida while we sorted out all this other stuff.  But now that we have survived it, people want justifiable revenge, and anybody who wants to survive well into the future should give it to the people without holding back because justice has to happen on many fronts, and Trump, as our representative, was sent to the Executive Branch of our self-government to get control.  Not to yield power.  I am most proud of my role in keeping people from turning to violence when, in truth, they had every excuse to do so.  They didn’t take the bait, and now we live to see this extraordinary time.  But as far as discussing a revolution from Democrats.   People won’t tolerate the kind of crap we’ve seen for the last 8 years of open warfare from them against us.  The election map for 2024 has a lot more red than blue, so Democrats are a vast minority.  And people are no longer willing to give them the benefit of doubt.  And I would remind them that they should consider themselves lucky to remain alive.  Only in a tremendous constitutional republic like America can such bad people get a day in court, to be fair.  The bad guys are lucky that America is so friendly and just.  But still, the criminals have to pay for the many crimes they committed.  There is no forgiveness.

Why Trump’s Economy Will Be Explosive: Too many government rules hold back financial opportunity

There has been a lot of consternation over the notion that Trump can wave a magic wand and fix so much in the economy so quickly.  It was as if everyone was delusional about wanting to return to 2017 when everything was going well and that Trump wouldn’t be able to do anything now, in 2024.  Well, here’s the thing: the inflation, the recession, and the depression that we have been experiencing are all a direct result of too much government tampering in the economy by people with too much micromanagement.  In general, the more freedom people have, the more that money flows, so when a government is too top-heavy, the flow of money is significantly reduced.  This is how economies have been since the beginning of time, and much of what we have been experiencing has been artificial, created by a government that micromanaged people too much.  The government under Biden was much more interested in micromanaging people and their behavior rather than letting the economy measure behavior and fuel the interests of various people.  So, when we talk about stagnant economic activity during the Biden years, it is because too much policy was intended to control behavior rather than supply happiness.  When a government takes the role of a parental figure, the entire society retreats into the state of a child dependent on top-down rule rather than self-initiated creation.  And in that way, an economy falters.  When we look at poor people around the world and study why they have a lack of money supply, the root cause will always point back to too much authority government getting in the way of happiness, which then is measured by economic activity.  The flow of money is directly proportional to a society’s level of freedom. 

The Biden administration was obsessed with micromanaging every aspect of people’s lives, and ultimately, when they study why they fell out of favor with the American public at every level of society, it will be because they were too involved in people’s lives, such as telling them they had to buy an EV car and that gas-powered cars would be a thing of the past, not because the market decided, but because of some pin-headed politicians worshiping some climate god of liberalism.  There were brownouts in very liberal states that got rid of fossil fuels in exchange for renewables.  While Biden staff members openly had sex in government rooms and recorded it, and many were promoted as transexuals, the illusion was that sexual behavior was the kind of behavior that would be tolerated and that decadence in the social rules would replace the yearning for economic viability.  People would forget about the cost of food and energy if they could have reckless sex without being judged by society.  And when those priorities became the standard, massive social unhappiness resulted.  And money did not flow properly.  It was the nanny state that Democrats put forth, going back to Obama.  Micromanaging social policy through regulations and then trying to distract mass society into sexual deviancy as a replacement for happiness turned out to be devastating, as reflected in economic output.  Of course, the communists in charge globally tried to hide the bad economic numbers with phony jobs reports and interest rate management by the Fed, but in truth, the damage was well done before Biden went too far and came up with a vaccine mandate where everyone would have to participate in buying medicine with a horrible alliance between government and big pharma. 

Trump’s economy will quickly supercharge the world because it will be fueled by pent-up energy.  Immediately, the amount of power held back in Biden’s war against fossil fuels will stimulate economic activity within weeks of taking office.  And it is that easy.  The desire of the Biden government to connect to the World Economic Forum socialists was artificial.   People want the lights to come on when they turn them on.  They don’t care if the energy comes from fossil fuels, solar, or wind.  They want things to work when they want them.  So, the conditions we have today are artificially bad due to government tampering with our power needs, not for practical reasons but policy rooted in crazy beliefs.  Trump is going to cancel the Paris Climate Accord and many other Democrat politics that directly carry over into economic behavior, and quickly, the money flow will return to the rate of necessity.  Only during year one of the Biden presidency were we told that the last gas-powered Mustang from Ford had been produced.  Who wants to rev up the engine of an EV car?  That doesn’t sound very cool.  For many, revving up a powerful car’s engine and attracting females sparks a lot of economic activity.  A lot of money is spent on clothes for a date and colognes. Going out to dinner.  And ultimately mating practices.  Something that the EV car robbed everyone of.  It just wasn’t the same kind of exciting experience.  When you artificially constrain supply with too many rules, the cost structure of everything will be disrupted, making money flow much less on a social scale.  Trump’s economy will flourish by eliminating the artificial rules created to control human behavior and allow market values to determine social happiness. 

These are rules for economic activity that are always true.  Financial stagnation is a choice, and in America, we had that choice robbed from us with election fraud in 2020.  The hope was that after just a few years, Americans would accept these new economic standards of replacing happiness with parental micromanagement.  And that’s not what happened. Instead, people held their breath and waited for their next opportunity to make a change, which came from the 2024 election.  People can’t wait to have the nanny state gone so they can buy cars, spend money on going out to eat, and enjoy Christmas again.  Putting up with a micromanaging government was not by choice but by capture, and people never accepted the new rules.  They planned to replace that government with one that reported to them rather than vice versa.  And under Trump, the fossil fuel economy will flourish, leaving the rest of the world committed to goofy climate change, unprepared, and at a severe market disability.  And it will happen quickly because the pent-up desire has always existed.  The EV mandates were never going to work, and most of the economic downturns we have been experiencing were by choice and not driven by market necessity, but the role that government played in the lives of free people toward social concerns shaped by sentiment, not logic.  When you hear someone giving a big engine Mustang some gas, the roar of the engine says a lot of things: that the owner has a powerful car, that he’s potent as a sex partner, that he will work hard to make a family, cut the grass on Saturdays, and build a new door when his woman wants one.  Because the powerful car says he wants to be influential, he’ll spend a fortune projecting that sentiment.  What the Biden administration did was cheapen all that with micromanagement.  And they replaced all that with sexual heresy, which took away the value of all the mating customs.  Which were drags on economic activity brought on by too much government regulation.  So when all that is taken away, the economy will flourish and do so explosively.

How To Get Rid of Jerome Powell: One thing we must have is civilian oversight of America’s money supply

This is something that has never been resolved in America, and it has always been headed for a collision course.  The question hasn’t been asked well for over a century now, because we allowed too many presidents to be picked for us by the established two-party system controlled through international finance and foreign tampering.  But if you heard Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell the day after President Trump was elected, you get a sense of where it’s going.  President Trump was the people’s pick, as it should have always been.  But not since President Jackson has a president been willing even to challenge the authority of the centralized banks, and based on what we know about how they have mismanaged our affairs, it’s long overdue.  However, this problem goes back to Alexander Hamilton and his great fights with Thomas Jefferson, who advocated for a strong federal government and a centralized bank to run the money supply.  Many will say that America would have never gotten off the ground without Hamilton’s policies.  However, to Jefferson’s point, Hamilton only made it so that a country of free people would always be ruled over by those who control the money supply.  So, this problem was never solved in the American Constitution and has been kicked down the road to our present time.  Ultimately, this is one of the reasons that Trump has so much support.  However, in regard to the Federal Reserve and its creation in 1913, it might have had good intentions.  Someone has to manage a country’s money supply; it can’t just be ruled over by chaos.  But, there must be rigid civilian oversight of the economy by the nation’s people, which was never the intention of the Federal Reserve. 

To answer the question for all the legal people out there, I’ll be happy to provide it; if there is going to be a Federal Reserve, it must be managed by the Executive Branch, a president picked by the people to do their business.  A president does not just appoint someone to it to appease the people; the Executive Branch must manage the money supply.  Even if the Constitution doesn’t spell it out word for word, the spirit of the Constitution indicates that the president has the responsibility for the nation’s security, and nothing makes a country more vulnerable to foreign attack than control over the money supply.  However, when a reporter asked Jerome Powell if he would step down if President Trump asked him to, Powell quickly (too quickly) said no, that his term was in place through 2026, and that was the end of the story.  The implication is that American Presidents are free to deal with other issues in running the nation; they can ask for more money for a military or crusade to save a turtle trying to cross the road in California.  But they are designated by mandate to stay out of the money supply, and we are all supposed to sit on the edge of our seats and wait for the Fed Chairman to tell us whether or not the economy will have interest rates raised or lowered based on what the central banks decide in Jackson Hole at the annual retreat that the Federal Reserve has there to discuss these matters.  As I said, the intentions for creating the Federal Reserve may have been good, but it has turned out to be catastrophic for our national security and sovereignty.  Even though Trump appointed Jerome Powell during his first term, Trump’s lack of control over him quickly caused the President to consider firing him.  However, there was much ambiguity over whether Trump had that right.  So Trump needed another term to deal with the issue, which was taken from him with the insertion of Biden in the Presidency.  In many ways, to preserve these central bank-run institutions like the Federal Reserve, they don’t want a meddlesome president asking too many questions. 

But as often happens, the people who end up in these positions are bleeding-heart liberals who support globalism, and the Fed has dug itself into a deep hole that it hoped nobody would ever get into the details enough to manage.  But this is the heart of the argument of Ron Paul and his End the Fed campaign that has only gained steam over the years.  There has been an increasing desire to attack the premise of Alexander Hamilton’s fiscal policies and to start all over, and that is where Trump is heading.  The Federal Reserve is not independent of American management; it is to be ruled over by the Executive Branch.  Not just appointed, then turned loose like some dog in the field.  But managed and fired should they stray away from the needs of the country they are to serve.  One of the reasons that the Broadway play institutionalists advocated for Hamilton during Trump’s first term was to attempt to prop up Hamilton’s stature as a Founding Father and tear down Thomas Jefferson and his Anti-Federalist ideas.  They didn’t just pick that Founding Father to feature out of thin air, they had a point to it.  It’s that same preservation of institutional value as opposed to civilian oversight behind Jerome Powell’s refusal to step down should Trump ask him to once he returns to office in January 2025. 

Over the last few years, a lot of smart cookies have asked the right questions about the unreasonable imposition of central banking connected to international finance that has eroded our sovereignty in the background, and they aren’t going to let the Fed stand unmanaged, as it has now for over a century.  Jerome Powell and his predecessor Janet Yellen, who was the economic advisor for Joe Biden and is a contributor to the World Economic Forum in Davos, have made terrible financial arrangements with Larry Fink of BlackRock to funnel money printed through Modern Monetary Theory and washed through Wall Street 401K plans that have allowed those prominent money managers to buy up many of the largest corporations in the country which were spelled out very well by Vivek Ramaswamy in his book Woke, Inc., And Vivek is going to be a part of the Trump team in the White House.  So, this issue is coming back to the table and is not in favor of the globalists.  Larry Fink, through his arrangement with the Fed and Jerome Powell specifically, should have never gained the kind of power he has over people, which is quite evident if you’ve read Larry’s ridiculous letters to the CEOs of America that are worth less than used toilet paper.  But the intent to run America through its money supply and force companies to hire more liberal CEOs to appease the gods at the Federal Reserve through Larry Fink and the gang of Democrat-minded thugs from Wall Street, going back to the accusations that were leveled at Hamilton, to have the nation’s money ran by speculators and gamblers for the moral impurity of womanizers and con artists, which was undoubtedly the case.  Those kinds of people need civilian oversight, not just a cosmetic president, and Trump was not put back in the White House to be just an ornament.  No, a real standoff will happen, and the rule of law says that the elected President must manage the money supply for the nation’s security.  And for Jerome Powell, he doesn’t get a vote on the matter.  If Trump wants him gone, he will go because people are backing Trump and putting him in the White House to do this job and many others.  And it’s either this, as was evident by the recent landslide election against all odds, or the physical removal of people like Jerome Powell by an angry public.  And I don’t think he wants that.  So the way to get rid of Powell, just for those paying attention, is to exploit the irresponsible management of money through Larry Fink and Jerome Powell’s involvement in that scam, with full knowledge of what he was doing, which ultimately was criminal in destabilizing American sovereignty.

Some of the Worst People are the Nicest: When murderers, scum bags, and thieves use kindness to hide their crimes

Many people are being very nice to Trump now that the election is over.  Trump gets it and so do people who enjoy my book and my statements on one of its most essential parts.  It’s the gunslinger in the bar metaphor that I tell the story of dozens of times a week to countless people.  It’s how people of real value must navigate the treachery of day-to-day life.  When you have something other people want, no matter what it is, you will find that they are very friendly to you.  But when you have nothing they can take, they are mean to you.  Generally speaking, when people are mean to others, the targeted personality doesn’t seem to have anything that the other person deems valuable.  But when you’ve been through all that Trump has, and so many people have openly come out against you, and suddenly you have power, well, that’s when the bootlickers come out and clean all the dust off your shoes.  If you managed to watch Saturday Night Live right after the election, for instance, where for years they have worked to destroy Trump in every way that a media enterprise can, you’ll see a good example.  However, after all their efforts, Trump was elected president again, showing the SNL crowd that they were no longer the popular kids.  And they want to be, so they are trying to appease Trump so as not to feel his wrath, which they fear, because they are guilty of trying to destroy him and hope that he’ll forget about it.  And that’s the case with just about everyone who has worked against Trump over the last 8 years.  Suddenly, they are being very nice to him.  Why do you think that is, other than my metaphor on the gunslinger at the bar with his back-to-the-room example?  They don’t try to kill you when they hope they can get something out of it.  In many ways, when that assassin’s bullet almost hit Trump in the side of the head on July 13th, 2024, it wasn’t just Trump who was saved; for America, it was the best thing to ever happen to us.

If you’ve ever been involved in murder cases where you investigate or interview the suspects of a murder, you see this kind of kindness all the time.  Usually, when people kill someone, they have regret and wish they could go back and do things differently.  They aren’t usually like Aaron the Moor from Shakespeare’s play Titus at the end of the story just prior to being hanged for the many crimes he committed during his life.  Most criminals have regrets and become very friendly, hoping that someone will give them a second chance, not because they are good people but because it’s their only option.  I saw that kindness at a jail I toured recently where all the inmates were very nice, as they were looking for a chance to change their circumstances and used kindness as a bridge to opportunity.  Many of those people were killers and rapists, and worse in many cases, but they were very nice while speaking about their current condition.  The situation would have been much different if they were on the other side of a gun in the comfort of their own initiative.  I had the opportunity to interview people involved in a horrible murder where they cut up their friend to kill them and put them in a garbage can so that they could hide the body.  They didn’t even go into trouble to take the body very far.  They put the trash in the back of the house and left it to decay for weeks before anybody noticed.  The cause of the murder was a dispute over drugs, which they were all on as they occupied a drug house together. 

When you talk to people like that who have essentially ruined their lives with horrible life choices, they have regrets, and they suddenly become very nice because it’s all they have left.  But don’t let that deceive you.  And Trump gets it.  His idea to help the Democrats pay for their massive debt after the election isn’t kindness; it’s leverage.  He says to them, “We beat you, and we still have money left.  You lost, wasted over a billion dollars, and you are still millions in the hole.  So here’s a little money, don’t say we weren’t nice to you.”  I’ve been saying it for a while since that assassin attempted killing in Pennsylvania. Trump won a lot more than his life that day.  He won the cooperation of all the horrible people who have been planning his death or, thinking about it, who are now on the wrong side of history.  Trump would do far better if he used that to his advantage and turned to what he does best: sell positive ideas to people to see vision for the optimism that it is.  Since he did that, Trump has been unstoppable.  That is how going into his next term will be for him and America.  Trump proved everything he had to prove; many people have eggs on their faces.  And to Trump’s benefit, his enemies have no choice but to be nice to him. 

The trick with this understanding is that many people want to be liked, which gives terrible people leverage over the outcome.  Because of the human need to be enjoyed and loved, criminals have learned over time that the best way to appeal to others when it’s their last resort is to turn to kindness for relief from conviction.  Appeal to the judge, appeal to the jury, appeal to everyone you interact with so that they might doubt that you did all the horrible things you did to get in trouble.  Mass society is going through that with Trump after an unquestionable election in which Trump was the most influential politician in the world.  That’s what we meant when we said all along that support for him needed to be too big to rig.  And that happened: Trump will win the popular vote by an astonishing millions of voters, pushing his final count into the upper 70 million.  A ceiling that Democrats really couldn’t hit with anybody on their team if they wanted to, under any conditions.  That leaves all of them who have plotted and schemed against Trump and the MAGA movement in general with no choice but to be nice to the victors and hope that compassion will give them some second chances.  But make no mistake about it: they hope for a second chance that they don’t deserve, just like those murderers I referenced.  All of them participated in cutting up their friend and putting them into a trash can but regretted it.  But the deed was done; there was no coming back from that horrible evening under the influence of a drug-induced frenzy. Flawed life choices last.  And the only path to a second chance is kindness.  So, in that regard, some of the worst people in the world are the nicest people.  This is a lesson many people would be wise to observe and preserve their senses from an assault of villainy hiding behind a smiling face.  Never, ever, trust it.

Trump Wins, Rage Against the Machine: Kamala Harris was always meant to hide election fraud

Down the stretch, it was all about covering up the election fraud from 2020.  Kamala Harris was dismal, and they knew that when they put her in to replace Joe Biden.  However, unless Biden performed well in that June debate with Trump, they would make the switch because it was all about math.  They cheated with fake people in 2020 to put Joe Biden over the top under the cover of COVID-19.  And they were never going to be able to duplicate those numbers.  Too many people were watching this time.  They had to put a variable into the mix and blame that for the different results rather than have a direct rematch between Trump and Biden that would have revealed the gloom and crime of a fixed election.  Communists have been rigging elections all over the world for years and it was just unfathomable that it was happening in the United States.  People couldn’t accept it and have been slow to get their minds around the idea.  But it’s been a problem, and this election had to be too big to rig because cheating has been such a persistent problem.  And Kamala, as unpopular as she was, was put out as a last-minute Hail Mary, hoping that race and gender would still carry an election, but she was just horrible, giving people little to vote for.  But it was never about winning for the Democrats, it was about covering up a crime.  The 2020 election was a crime, and that evidence had been deeply suppressed by many thousands of people who acted in a very treasonous way toward our country.  And the 2024 election was poised to reveal all that with a head-to-head matchup where the results could never be duplicated because many of those who voted for Joe Biden never existed.  They weren’t actual voters.

The line for voting at 6 am where I vote

Even the garbage comment by Biden is evidence of the essential problem.  Many have noticed that Joe Biden has been doing lots of little things to sabotage Kamala Harris, and it’s very likely he called Trump supporters garbage, knowing that it would rally them to vote, hoping it would harm Kamala Harris in the process.  He didn’t like the way they removed him from office and put her forth as a replacement.  But then again, they told him he won the first time and didn’t let him know all the work they put into the fraud of the 2020 election, which is a crime that still needs to be prosecuted.  While we’d like to think of the comment as a gaffe made that was a slip revealing what they thought of us, Democrats and the MAGA movement, in this passive-aggressive world, it was far more purposeful and meant to undermine Harris and energize Trump voters to flooding the zone so that she wouldn’t win either.  In politics, there is very little that isn’t known and off the cuff.  Everything is purposeful, even if it’s purposely deceitful.  People can, and often are, very deceitful because they don’t want to suffer the consequences of their actions.  But they also don’t want to get punched in the face for their evil deeds.  So, in most cases, learning to manipulate things in a passive-aggressive way is the choice of politics.  Joe Biden represented a machine that he believed was a free choice and that he had earned the position.  But they took it away from him just as quickly as they gave it.  And all he could do about his feelings on the matter was try to undermine the system behind the scenes, like so many people who find themselves in such a perilous situation.

Watching Trump dancing at the end of his last political rally as a candidate for high office at 2 AM in Grand Rapids, Michigan, was fascinating.  Trump brought so much hope to politics, and the people in the audience watching him couldn’t help but be wrapped up in his energy.  There will never be anybody like Trump.  But what he has been to politics is the exact opposite of what Kamala Harris represented and, ultimately, Joe Biden.  Controlled candidates run by a machine out of reach from ordinary people.  Trump gave people the feeling that the machine was still in their control, and based on the output of voter support, he challenged the machine in a way they weren’t prepared for.  They weren’t prepared for it in 2016 when he snuck in through fixed election rigging that was beyond the scale of their ability to cheat.  And that was the strategy this time, in 2024, to make everything too big to rig.  But never forget, this is a communist machine that was put in place to usher in Barack Obama, and it started even well before him.  This machine has long been at work for many decades, and it’s certainly not unique to the Democrat party, which is poised to do everything it can to rid the world of people like President Trump because he is a threat to that machine.  Because he empowered people.  That machine did everything it could to stop President Trump, and he triumphantly danced the night away in that last rally on the previous day before the election of 2024 in the middle of the night.  It was an incredible exhibit of historical significance.  And the results of it will last for a very long time. 

Never, never, never, forget! They committed crime and treason

But because Trump survived all the perilous traps that the Democrats and the machine, in general, had thrown at him, it forced the ultimate problem to be unveiled, and that is the crime of election fraud from 2020.  Just having Trump back on the ticket to run again threatened the revelation of the crime because so many thousands of people conspired to never allow it to happen.  Yet there he was, and on election day, he was on the ballot, changing the entire narrative the machine wanted to control.  And people learned that they had much more power than they thought.  And even in his own way, Biden raged against the machine by being a passive-aggressive provocateur for Trump by inciting his base against Kamala, his replacement.  Even as an old fool, Biden isn’t that dumb.  He did it purposefully because he believed he won the presidency the first time and could do it again.  But the machine knew otherwise and couldn’t have him messing everything up.  And certainly couldn’t allow Biden to be the breadcrumbs that led directly to prosecuting the many crimes of the 2020 election.  So they removed him and gave the world Kamala Harris, hoping that the differences in voter turnout would be blamed on her horrible campaign for which she would take the blame.  Not the machine.  And when you build a machine on a foundation of so much treachery, we will always get a mess.  Thank goodness we had President Trump come along and show all this horrible behavior.  And to give America a chance to live again with so much energy and sheer tenacity.  The machine is much less relevant now than in 2020, and people now see how deeply it works in our culture.  And on election day, 2024, for the first time in years, they were able to strike back at it with a vengeance.  And Trump WON!

The Epic Joe Rogan Interview with President Trump: Dreaming big again

I am very proud of President Trump.  Many people around him, including Elon Musk and Melania, for her fantastic entry into Madison Square Garden on the 27th of October, showed their best selves as a result of a fantastic campaign by Trump at the close of the 2024 election season.  That’s how you win, and it starts with effort.  And nobody in the history of the world, looking back, or forward will ever perform what President Trump has over these last four years.  Talk about resiliency.  He has made me very proud and has set a standard that will never be forgotten.  And even though the campaign still has a week or so, what the Trump campaign did at Madison Square Garden was epic and unforgettable.  It was astonishingly good.  However, that wasn’t the most significant thing that Trump could have done to secure his domination in this election cycle.  It was the Joe Rogan Podcast from that previous Friday, October 25th, 2024 where Trump sat down with the hottest podcast in the nation and just talked for three hours straight with no interruptions, no breaks, no notes.  Trump just sat down and spoke to Joe Rogan unscripted for three hours, something very few people could have done.  And Trump was fantastic.  When you add it all up, the week leading up to that podcast, then what was done at Madison Square Garden in New York City, of all places, for a Republican to campaign in what is considered forbidden territory, the sum of it was just jaw-dropping.   Talk about a guy who likes to win and has done everything to do so.  And even those hardened to him couldn’t help but admire the effort.  I think we aren’t just talking about a win with this effort against Kamala Harris, but Trump is playing to have the biggest win in the history of elections, including the dominating win Reagan had over Mondale in 1984. 

Leading up to the Madison Square Garden rally, I was at Kings Island with my family, and specifically, as I reviewed the clips from the Joe Rogan Podcast, I had a fascinating conversation with one of my grandchildren, who is 12.  I was about his age in 1984 when Reagan won in a landslide, and it had a feeling about it, like what we see today with Trump.  Only Reagan didn’t go through nearly what Trump has.  I am excited for my grandchildren, and I was able to explain to him that if everything goes well with this election on November 5th, and we have every reason in the world to believe it will, there is an opportunity for magnificent growth in America that is more than just a little bit, well deserved.  A few short months ago, I didn’t think there was a chance Elon Musk and President Trump would ever do anything together, so having the world’s richest man directly connected to Trump is a massive boost because, as fair or unfair as it is, Musk has brought an enthusiasm that people like George Soros and Jeff Bezos have applied negatively.  Elon Musk has become very effective, and Trump has earned that respect by surviving that assassin’s bullet.  A few months later, I watched this Joe Rogan Podcast as it occurred and listened in wonderment.  There were so many sound clips from that show that made excellent soundbites that even in the hours after, the political left had no countermeasure for.  There was so much said in those three hours that Trump had slammed shut an election victory for him at that moment.  And he wasn’t even done at that time.  Trump and Rogan even talked about aliens in that podcast.  It was quite extraordinary. 

But the promise of prosperity for a young 12-year-old is on the table here.  After all that we have been through as a country, we deserve something good, and as I reviewed the Joe Rogan clips and showed them to my grandson while we were in line for several rides, the enthusiasm was unmistakable.  We were on the cusp of something monstrously big, and Joe Rogan had managed to capture it with an excellent interview.  Trump was his best self during it, leaving in the wake plenty that anybody voting could like and get behind. Trump was swinging for the fences after ten years of some of the worst political treatment anybody has ever had, and it was coming fast not with just one homerun but several that were flying out of the park in a highlight reel nobody would ever forget.  I kept telling my grandson how culture changed a lot in the 80s, economically and socially, once Reagan won that second term; there was prosperity in America from about 1981 to 1989 that came from Reagan’s open embrace of capitalism and the defeat of the Soviet Union through policy that unleashed optimism everyone benefited from.  It was encouraging to see my grandchildren coming to age in this remarkable Trump election that was shaking off so many oppressive elements.  Like Rocky from the movies, Trump could be crawling across the finish line, all beat up and barely standing.  But here was a guy that had gone through all he had and was dressed in his business suit, looking better than ever, and showing himself to be at the height of his power.  At this moment, in line with my grandson, and just ahead of Trump’s appearance at Madison Square Garden, the recent betting odds for Trump to win came out at 94.5%, for the first time. 

Kamala Harris couldn’t have done even a tiny portion of what Trump did, especially the Joe Rogan Podcast.  She’s very unexceptional and has little to say about anything.  And in many ways, that is what Trump managed to crack through all the trouble and present to the world.   As I watched the Joe Rogan clips at Kings Island, I also got a live stream from London where they were having a rally for Trump across from Parliament.  I remember standing in that exact spot in 2017 when Trump had just been elected and watching the world react to it in a very negative way, especially in London.  But now the world was watching this American election and praying for Trump’s return, so this isn’t just America that’s excited.  The world is on edge, hoping for an excellent performance, which Trump has shown them; he has done everything he could to win and win big.  There is a chance for Trump not just to win, but for a period of enthusiasm to come from under the barriers of oppression that has stifled creative growth for over a century, even more.  And Trump had united everyone to his cause, even those like Musk who had been left of center most of his life.  Suddenly, Musk at Madison Square Garden talked about taxation in ways that were even more conservative than the Tea Party’s position.  All of this came because of Trump’s excellent campaign.  We were seeing something epic happening in politics and culture.  And the potential for what comes next for the children coming to age in this period is epic.  In many ways, all this campaign activity from Trump gave the feeling of a great nation overcoming an incredible sickness that had suddenly broken, and everyone felt much better.  And much of that was evident on the Joe Rogan Podcast, which would have been enough; it would have been the highlight of most political campaigns.  But for Trump, it was just another day at the office.  The bar of expectations has been shattered, and everyone has grown positively.  And it was wonderful to see.

Its Just Another Communist Trick: Vote No on Issue 1 in Ohio

Probably the most asked question I get is on Issue 1 in Ohio during 2024, the gerrymandering issue proposed by a group called Citizens Not Politicians.  I haven’t heard anybody from any side on that Ohio Constitutional Amendment adequately explain what Issue 1 is.  Maybe they don’t know or are afraid to say it because they might incite inflammatory rhetoric.  I’ve heard countless hours of proposals advocating for Issue 1 and against it, and I suspect that the Citizens Not Politicians group themselves don’t understand what role they are playing in the attempted destruction of America.  People who favor Issue 1 in Ohio during 2024 are the same kind of people who supported the legalization of pot last year and who supported drive-through window abortions after Roe v. Wade went down in flames at the federal level, so that should tell you all you need to know.  However, there is some menacing intent behind Issue 1 that everyone should be talking about, and that is the communist intentions of the proposal, which essentially states that corrupt politicians are gerrymandering electoral constituency to favor one party over the other.  And that this Issue One proposal will make everything more fair in the future.  The accusation is that once they gain power, politicians can keep power by manipulating congressional districts and other boundaries on a map to favor a powerful party. And in Ohio, Republicans have super majorities that don’t look to change anytime soon.  Democrats just aren’t very well-liked in Ohio, and it has nothing to do with gerrymandering, but that they are a terrible party that does not represent what people want.  So the gerrymandering has turned out to be an excuse for the rejection of Democrats in Ohio, and the hope is that if they can redraw some of the districts, more Democrats might have a chance to get into political office. 

So when I say that this whole process is a communist scheme, I mean it in that it’s the philosophy of Karl Marx that has given birth to it, even if the perpetrators have no idea what’s going on. Making things “fairer” sounds nice. After all, we can’t trust those pesky politicians. They are the evil bourgeoise, an aristocratic class of our betters who do everything out of greed and malice.  But in truth, what the Citizens Not Politicians group is proposing is to attack our style of government itself and replace it with another committee of worthless bureaucrats to make decisions about congressional districts under a mask of fairness, but an intention of eroding our representative government in its essential design.  We already have a system that does what they propose to do: elections.  And they are blaming Republicans for the lack of Democrats in elected positions because people don’t want what the Democrats are offering.  But to avoid that issue, the Citizens Not Politicians are offering a 15-member committee of 5 Democrats, 5 Republicans, and 5 Independents to make the decisions our elected representatives should be making.   And, of course, when they try to make it appear fair by including Republicans, they aren’t talking about MAGA Republicans, as the trend is pointing, but Liz Cheney types and soft-shelled tacos like John Kasich.  What is being proposed by Issue 1 is ridiculous and a blatant attempt to change our representative style of government to benefit insurgent personalities who can use just another worthless committee to weaken our constitutions at the state and federal levels. 

I will vote no on Issue 1 in Ohio.  You must always be suspicious of any government activity that proposes more government to solve the problem, and in this case, why would we add 15 more people to perform a task that our elected representatives were elected to perform because we can’t trust them to do the job?  If you don’t like the job your politicians are doing for you, then vote them out of office.  But look here what is really behind this gerrymandering strategy. In that case, the real issue is a political platform that people rejected with their vote, which is how Republicans got so much power in the statehouse to begin with.  That is the nature of politics: to gain and stay in control.  Democrats are looking for a way to erode that power without trying to win over voters to their terrible position.  So that is what is behind Issue 1 and the intentions of Citizens Not Politicians, who publicly state that they are bipartisan.  When, in fact, their intentions are straight from the pages of Karl Marx and would be more suited in communist China than in a freedom-loving America.  When the word “fairness” gets tossed around, it is always the word “communism” because, essentially, it’s the same trick they use in China to sell communism to the public, such as in “The People’s Republic of China” where it is stated that communism is for the people, not those craving centralized government.  In the case of Ohio, the goal is to weaken our representative government and put people in charge under the mask of fairness to erode the power that people have elected into place because of their preferred Republican policies over Democrat monstrosities.  The desire for government to grow is the entire point of Issue 1 in Ohio and to weaken our constitution along the way.

I hate to be that guy who is pointing out communism these days behind every darkened hallway, but that’s what it is.  Chinese communism is the strategy of the globalist world, and it is intended for every corner of the globe.  And because it’s a big no, no word in America, they disguise it with names like Citizens Not Politicians, to make it sound like something else.  But what it is is garbage, maliciousness, and an attack against our constitutional republic and representative government as it was intended.  If people want to win more seats, then win more honest elections and stop trying to rig them in all kinds of ways to put communists in power in ways that the elected government would prevent.  For the bad guys, it’s far easier to control five Republicans on a committee than the randomness of hundreds of politicians who are always coming and going.  The Citizens Not Politicians group wants to put the gerrymandering issue into the same approach we have on our state school boards, and we’ve seen what a failure that has been.  What Issue 1 offers is just as stupid.  But what’s worse is their intent and willingness to lie to themselves and everyone else about what they want.  They are crying for communism and a big nanny state where the government becomes the parental role of society.  The message here is that those mean, greedy politicians are out of control, and the “people” need to take back control over them with another worthless committee.  Ignoring that we elect those politicians in the first place, why do we need another committee?  See the problem?  And the intention.  All communist insurrections start this way by making it sound like “the people” are taking back their government from the greedy politicians of the aristocracy.  And some people are too stupid to know better.  But we set up our government with this whole decentralization of government in mind, where elected representatives “represent” the people.  And that is the trick at play here; the bad guys are pretending to represent the people when the people were always in control.  And they picked Republican supermajorities.  And Democrats have no answer, so they are supporting Issue 1 to erode our constitutional system, which is yet another grab for power and an expansion of government toward perpetual ineffectiveness so that people eventually will give up on it altogether and fall to the whims of communism and the skirts of a jealous, government mother.
