Defrauding the American Government: How the Supreme Court is poised to rule against the Biden administration

Don’t let the con people fool you. The facts of the matter are this: President Trump and his administration, one of whom Peter Navarro, is currently in jail for no reason other than his association with President Trump, were the legitimate government in 2020, leading up to the transfer of power to Joe Biden, by force and manipulation, in January 2021.  The events that removed President Trump from office were a purposeful and malicious defrauding of the American government by insurgents who associated with global Marxists, outright communists, and European socialists of every order.  They broke the law and declared war on the American Constitution, and under the rules of our Republic, President Trump had presidential immunity to protect that government from hostile enemies, both foreign and domestic.  And that was the essence of the line of questioning at the Supreme Court by three of the justices to lawyers from both sides, the Jack Smith case and Trump’s defense team.  As the elected government at that time, Trump had immunity in his actions to defend the nation from hostile invaders.  Now that the smoke has cleared from those events, there is no question about what Trump was doing and the intentions of those attacking.  At best, the hostile agents intended to defraud the United States of America.  And what happened thereafter clearly shows the strategy to wreck the economy of Western civilization purposefully to continue a socialist plot started by the Obama administration, who was still whispering in the ear of Biden and his despots of doom, and compromised assets of the Chinese communist government.  There is a lot of evil that occurred in 2020, but regarding the issue of President Trump’s actions, he was defending a legitimate government from hostilities against the wishes of American voters, and those forces are now deeply entrenched in our culture for destruction. 

Really, the only choice that the Supreme Court has on the immunity case before it now, is to punish the challengers against Trump severely, which looks to be where the court is headed, with likely at least a 5-4 decision or perhaps even a 6-3, in favor of Trump.  Democrats are the ones who started this process of lawfare and insurrection using election fraud to perform a massive crime against our country.  After all, they are progressives who intend to “progress” beyond our Constitutional Republic fully.  What is the greatest threat to democracy?  Democrats.  They have no intention of having free and fair elections.  They are trying to rig the game to grab power so they can use that power to commit massive crimes using the power of government to do so.  It’s about as bad as it gets regarding defrauding the government, the Trump government that we elected to handle our business and protect our country from its enemies.  This is why we have a Supreme Court: without the protection of the basic premise of the law, on constitutional principles, we have no country or values to protect.  This is the apparent strategy of the hostile agents of the world who want an end to America, for which the Biden administration is a creation.  The intent to commit the crime was never more apparent, and the Supreme Court is the backstop to stop that crime when all other measures fail, which they had up to this point.  However, it was not surprising to hear how they set up the case after hearing from the Jack Smith lawyers.  The prosecution’s case against Trump was even thinner than many thought it would be because the foundation of their case is meant to hide that the Biden administration and their Department of Justice, as insurrectionists who gained power through a stolen election, committed an intentional defrauding of our government in their pursuits for power and control.

Of course, in the aftermath of the Supreme Court presentations of the case and their reaction to it, the communist news media and global insurrectionists had their faces melting.  They weren’t getting away with their fraud and people were on to them, as best represented by a majority of the Court.  Leftist radicals had taken over most of our institutions and controlled the lower courts, and now this Supreme Court was ruining their plans to defraud our government with maliciousness, and they were already thinking about the next steps.  Study communist takeovers worldwide, especially after World War II in China. You will see precisely the same thing going on in the United States by big government types, Republicans and Democrats for several decades.  And their efforts were well on their way under the Obama administration, and the American people, not constantly aware of the severity of the problem, picked Trump as their representative, which screwed up the communist plans.  Most people don’t think about these things; they just want to live their lives and be left alone, which was part of the strategy of the communists who put Joe Biden in power as a compromised asset who would do their destruction to keep his own family out of jail.  The best way to do that is to control the Department of Justice as inserted President of the United States.  There was nothing legitimate about any of it.  They defrauded the United States of America over many years and conducted a massive insurrection with Covid-driven election fraud to acquire power from a legitimate American government against the American people.  And at best, they broke the law in detrimental ways. 

We are dealing with people who have already tried to kill congressmen at baseball games and made death threats against Supreme Court members, only to receive a slap on the hand for their efforts.  That is part of the defrauding process, to control our political mechanisms so they can determine the rule of law and, in this case, ignore the law for their acquisition of power.  But to then use that acquired power to prosecute their political enemies, such as what they have been doing to President Trump, to keep him in exile, they forced him into.  Because they know that the people of America picked him the first two times, and they will do it again.  So their only option is to go all in with insurrection, play this game with the legal levers of power, and hope that people don’t notice.  If they could get rid of the Supreme Court in some way, either through court-packing or some other measure, they would do it if they could hold power through sheer force and intimidation.  But what’s important to remember is that they are not a legitimate government, and they don’t care that you know that.  All communist governments have their challengers, so how to deal with them is well known.  And they have no fear of defrauding the American government because they intend for America to be eradicated, crushed by debt and corporate control.  As progressive communists, they have “Moved On,” which is the name of the George Soros organization that is behind most of these purposeful intents to defraud America.  And why people like him have not been arrested and thrown in jail to stop their menace tells you why the problem persists.  Too many compromised people are willing to take easy money to sell out their country, and such a problem falls into most of our population.  But that still doesn’t change what it is: the defrauding of the American government by hostile enemies, foreign and domestic.  And they are going to lose that immunity case against Trump.

Getting Out of Bed to Fight for Your Country: Most people don’t have the guts to be President Trump

There are a lot of sunshine patriots out there who will fly the American flag over the Fourth of July and cook their hot dogs on a grill. But when it comes time to do any kind of heavy lifting and to stand for something, they are nowhere to be found. Most people bootlick their way through life, and they will do so to make the most money possible while doing as little work as they can. And when times are tough, they hide under their covers and turn off the alarm clock until the danger is averted. The world is full of such people. And it is because of them that there is so much evil in the world, empowered and doing what they are doing to destroy the world. I have been warning about these things for most of my life and as people ask me about some of the chapters in my book of life and wonder about all the carnage and hurt feelings, it points back to this essential issue. When times were tough, who got out of bed and did something about it. And one thing I can say, with all the violence and debate, I did not turn off the alarm clock and go back to bed while it was storming outside. I got up, went to where the trouble was, and did what needed to be done. When I fly an American flag, I do so knowing that I have done all I could to make it proud, because the fights to have the right to fly that flag are always under threat by hostile enemies foreign and domestic. It would have been easy to just do like everyone else, take a nice vacation, go to fancy dinners, and play golf without ever talking about anything too serious. But that would never be enough for me, because there was always a lot of work to do, and America needs as many people doing it as possible.

And I saw in Trump many years ago, 2012 to 2014 a person who had achieved a certain place in life where he wanted to do the work that it takes to keep America alive and well. I would point out even back then that Obama was a socialist, and that his birth certificate had major problems and that he probably was not qualified to be president. Which at that time sounded crazy. I remember what I was doing on 9/11 when terrorists attacked the symbol of American capitalism, the World Trade Center. I sent my wife to pick up my kids from school as everyone around me was as floored as everyone across the country and our skies stopped having air traffic for a couple of days. But I never believed the narrative, what made those terrorists think they could get away with it. Globalists looking to topple America are always involved, and they are sloppier these days than back then when people still had some trust in authority figures. 9/11 was a provoked terrorist attack meant to expand government and to give the FBI, and the CIA more authority, which they have obviously abused. And it all happened right under our nose, while people went about their lives worrying about being too controversial, because they might become social outcasts. But out of all that came a few people here and there, like President Trump, who were able to do something to help the flag, so he started thinking of running for president and he was visiting Tea Party groups to build up his brand in that direction.  And I was a supporter, because I knew what kind of work really needed to be done in America, and most people were not willing to do it.

When history looks back on this time, it will remember all the sunshine patriots who sat on their hands and never engaged the enemy, which empowered that enemy to the levels of menace that we are seeing now. Their neighbors might think they are swell people. At the local wine tasting where everyone is talking about sending their children to college so they can learn about Karl Marx, essentially, people might complement the high heels of an attractive woman, but talk behind her back at all the men she is sleeping with, while an American flag flies outside looking for someone to defend it from the tyranny of a jealous world.  But it will also remember that it took 12 years of Trump to return our country back to all those worthless people who should be more grateful than they are. Everyone will be grateful in hindsight even though they did extraordinarily little to help along the way, including most of the current Republican Party. They talk tough, but when it comes time to go out into the rain to engage the enemy, they stay where it is safe, and let others do that. The very few others. Trump is one of them. Thank goodness he won that first term in 2016. And in many ways, what happened in 2020 had to happen because people needed to see just how bad this current government of criminals really was. How deep the rot really extended. They did not believe me when I told them in the 1990s, then the 2000s. And of course, in 2020. But now, because Trump was essentially a president in exile in Mar-a-Lago, and all these horrendously bad people have come after him to destroy him, do people finally see the danger. 

It was always going to take three terms of a presidency fully committed to the preservation of American life to do the job. And Trump seemed poised to do that job going back to the Reform Party. I am not new at this. I remember talking to Ross Perot’s family in the parking lot of their Texas company on the eve of the 1992 election about all this. And most people just would not get out of bed, they wanted to stay asleep. I did all I could, including being in that parking lot with the Perot family in Texas, and 19% of America knew something had to be done and supported Ross Perot anyway. That number has grown over the years to around 38% who would stand by Trump no matter what, because they get it. They are out of bed with the alarm clock off. And I think now, because of these previous two terms of Trump, one official, one in exile, that a third Trump term will put that number closer to 60% of America will finally get out of bed and do the work of patriotism that is required. And as bad as it is for Trump, he has inspired others to finally get out of bed and to fight for our flag. Sometimes it takes a person like President Trump, or a Ross Perot, people who have achieved a certain level of success in life to turn away from polite society, roll up their sleeves, and fight for their country in ways that very few have the courage to do, because they are too busy trying to build a life for themselves to get to some level of independence.  I know what it has cost me, and many people just will not do it, because they do not have the stomach for it. But that did not take away the requirements of the job. It will take three Trump terms to start to fix our country from the hostile communists who have been attacking it for most of the last one hundred years. And it will take another decade or two to implement patriotic policies to restore America to greatness. But we are seeing that process play out now, and thank goodness for people like President Trump, and an exceedingly small group around him who are doing the right things for all the right reasons. I have a lot of respect for them because I know how hard it is. And everyone should appreciate the effort for many thousands of years to come, because it was necessary.

The Top 1% Are Broken People, Not Elite: What many think is a virtue is really a social dysfunction

There is a kind of permeating fault wired into the human race that necessitates a need for the aristocracy to have meaning and importance over their peers in the destructive pursuit of self-importance.  To my mind, the need for it is like potty training a puppy; the rebellion of defiance of pooping on the floor and then jumping around happily once being scolded that comes from the behavior.  They are undeveloped minds broken toward advanced concepts.  Unfortunately, human beings have not yet developed a proper understanding of the value of such people because we are still struggling with that emotional development, where praise from our parents and peers in society is all important to us.  So, until it’s usually too late, do we come to a proper understanding of the all too tempting notion of measures of importance as understood culturally?  When in reality, the opinions of the masses are rooted in an undeveloped brain functioning from elements of insanity.  We’re talking about the top 1%, as they are often called, or the “elite,” as the media calls them.  They are usually the people most successful in some measurements, but they all have social dysfunction in common.  A switch in their minds that never fully develops gives them the appearance of social maturity, but in practice, they are still unrestricted with critical thinking, which might otherwise guide them toward other decisions.  And because we have never come to grips with this fundamental insecurity that most people have, the social illusion that is the byproduct is that these people are more critical in a social hierarchy, which then promotes these same people to obtain an aristocratic status with ruthlessness and destructive utterances.  In my experience, people who are in the top 1% in our society economically or politically tend to have severe problems in emotional development where the parts of their brains that tell them their problems shouldn’t do something, is undeveloped making them a liability, not a true asset to all social discourse. 

Because we mistake those traits for power and control as virtues, we have not dealt with the core problem of these people other than modes of philosophy that are just as destructive toward a prosperous society, such as Marxism.  The struggle for personal power and its impact on the rest of the world is a long struggle that has always been with us.  But to my mind, our present time is turning the corner toward those assumptions, which is the real merit behind all populism occurring worldwide.  The old idea that a few ruling elites, whether it be a king, a CEO, a politician, a business tycoon, or some other single-point personality, would rule over the masses of society like a shepherd over a flock of sheep is finally dying in our present time, and that has led to mass confusion about the merits of leadership.  What is it, and how does society function with it or without it?  For all this time, the traits that built an aristocracy were valued as special and unique when, in fact, they were essentially broken people who had not yet entirely developed the aspect of their emotional development where such peer acceptance and yearning were not part of a functioning intellect.  As in the example of the puppy, they are not yet potty trained in the world, and their minds are not yet ready to guide anybody toward anything.  That was one of the most important developments of the American system of government, to decentralize authority so that the ill effects of that broken 1% would have less impact on mass society than in other places in the world at different times throughout history. 

Generally, as a culture, Americans resent being told what to do by a centralized figure, more so than other places in the world that have not yet tasted full autonomy of thought.  So they have not yet realized how much better a society is when aristocratic fools are not guiding it from a monastery or corporate influence where the desire for power over many people corrupts the minds of the few in rule over the masses and the perceived power that comes with it.  A truly developed mind with a healthy intellect doesn’t crave that kind of power, so a lack of aristocracy is far more beneficial than having one.  It has taken a long time to arrive at this place, and it took America to give birth to it, but finally, in the world, populism has grown into this expansion beyond the control of the few over the many that have always previously persisted.  So now it is fashionable to question authority and the “elite” who have been running things as long as humans have attempted to organize mass society.  When you get a human being that does not crave power over others, you can be said to be a culture that is being born into a healthy intellect, and its evolution is quite natural and inevitable.  But it’s devastating to those who thought it was acceptable, even those who desired to be those undeveloped few who craved power to fill the vast vacancies of their emotional learning in society.  What is happening now is truly terrifying to them.  But then again so are little puppies terrified when they are scolded for pissing on the carpet.  Just because the puppies are cute doesn’t mean they don’t get hit with the newspaper for leaving their bodily discharge in the walking path of the true owners of a home. 

So, most of the crying that is going on now comes from those little dogs of our society who are whimpering from being scolded.  They thought they were in charge, just like all undeveloped minds assume until they learn the truth.  And for those broken adults who never quite develop, this behavior is more of a retardation, rather than a value.  Still at wine tastings and other social gatherings usually assembled by Democrat types of personalities, the old aristocracy is still a valued commodity, and they crave the leadership of a shepherd in their daily affairs because they, too, lack the confidence to approach life on their own merits.  They prefer to have someone to think for them, and there are always these undeveloped 1% types, “this elite,” who step forward to take on the role.  But most people grow out of such needs to be led and rule over others because their minds no longer value such things once they fully mature.  Yet, such a distinction would have never been made if not for America to provide such an example, where aristocracy and rule over others was not a value system but a rejected premise.  It continues to be the guiding light for populism worldwide, where more people crave to be wolves in their own right, not sheep looking for a shepherd.  Those craving to be our shepherds are often let down by personal failures, which then prevent a healthy society from reaching its true potential.  It was always the perceived “elite” who were the broken minds who got in the way.  And now, in the long evolution of the human race, we are finally growing away from such immature desires.  And our society is improving, even if it is scary to those who thought they were in charge all along.  They are finding out that they never were and never will be.

Bernie Sanders Dumb Idea for a 32-Hour Work Week: Socialists and Communists are Lazy, dope-smoking losers

This is a long-term gripe from me and one of the most significant reasons to never listen to socialists and communists.  Communists are lazy people by nature; that’s why they want big government to confiscate the wealth of others and redistribute that income to them while they sit around all day smoking pot and playing video games.  We can see socialists a mile away, and their work ethic exposes them.  Lazy people tend to favor the works of Karl Marx.  So it is unsurprising that Bernie Sanders, the socialist senator who has been in the news a lot over the last several years, has proposed a 32-hour work week.  I missed the news in a form I could comment on because I was traveling through many airports and happened to be in Japan waiting on a driver sent to pick me up when I heard the news.  I watched a video clip of this ridiculous proposal as my Japanese driver ran down the road to get our car.  He was running because he didn’t want me to wait an extra 15 to 20 seconds and to be guilty of giving me an inefficiency problem that day.  So, the news was particularly powerful at that moment because of the excessive contrasts.  They like to work in Japan, and they want to work hard.  So do I.  Out of a 24-hour day, 17 of them are dedicated to working.   I don’t have much time for silly chit-chat and wasting time on stupid things.  And I also work Saturdays and Sundays most weeks.  And I like it.  I love Mondays, I see Fridays as just another day in the week.  And I expect the people around me to work hard, too. Otherwise, I don’t get along with them.  No matter what people think about politics, sports teams, or religion, I can find common ground to build a relationship if a person likes to work hard. 

They work hard in Japan

But this idea of Bernie Sanders was one of the dumbest things I have ever heard.  America was trying to dig out of several years of bad economic policy during the third term of Obama’s presidency.  During Trump’s first term, America had three years of prosperity, but Biden quickly turned all that into a disaster, and America needs to work its way back to greatness.  And here is this idiot saying we must work a 32-hour workweek.  What will people do in all those other hours? Look out the window.  Have more leisure time.  How long must people sit on a beach and look at the water?  It reminded me of the many things that I don’t like about Europe.  They have too much vacation and have a daily expectation of doing too little.  It’s common in Europe to only work three days out of five and to have frequent breaks.  And to be honest, it disgusts me to my very soul.  What a wasteful existence.  America has been great in the past because the people weren’t afraid of hard work.  It was hard work that built a great country, and it was hard work that made any culture prosperous.  And here is an old hippie socialist advocating for Americans to work less.  It’s probably the dumbest idea in the history of dumb ideas.  It’s a general attitude you can easily observe in communist and socialist countries; their social centers are often crowded with people walking around aimlessly eating food and sitting anywhere available because they aren’t working enough.  And they wonder why they have poor GDP numbers. 

That isn’t unique; in my experience in Japan with the driver, it’s expected.  Japan has the third-largest economy in the world for a reason.  They work hard there, and they don’t complain about stupid things.  When there is work to be done, they pull together and get things done quickly, and they aren’t in love with the hours of the day.  If it takes longer to do a task than the usual hours of a business day, they stick around and finish it, making tomorrow always filled with completed work, waiting on new opportunities.  I am always impressed by even ordinary people on the street who are overtly ambitious and gratified for an opportunity to work.  Whether it’s a clerk at a convenience store or an attendant at the airport, when work is faced, or the chance to do business with another person presents itself, they honor that opportunity with a deep bow to revere the work and the opportunities that come with it.  You are in for a treat when you fly to Japan on any Japanese airline with an all-Japanese crew.  They work hard and treat everyone very respectfully.  They really care about the work and it shows as they enter the work zone, they bow to the public and bring real diligence to the effort.  But often, when you return home on Delta, United, or some other American airliner, you get a menagerie of lazy characters brought to you by Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, and they are ridiculous to deal with, especially on a long flight.  Even in premium seating, they make the experience miserable because they are usually lazy, overweight, and can barely fit between the seats, and you can tell they are always in a hurry to sit back down and waste their life away somewhere.  With the Japanese airlines, everyone is in a hurry, but for the opposite reason, so they can do more work. 

Bernie Sanders lists himself as an independent who caucuses with Democrats.  And he’s had a few good runs at the presidency, headed off by the Democrat’s cheating machine who would not let him near the White House.  But as a result, Democrats have steered hard left on Bernie Sanders types of communist policies.  Sanders is technically a socialist, and there are many like him in the Democrat Party; they don’t refer to themselves as such.  Much as in the Republican Party, there are Democrats who know they could never get elected if they called themselves what they were.  Socialists and communists in America have been changing their name to Democrats, trying to hide their real nature.  These days, they feel more comfortable revealing what that nature is than they were in the past.  And it’s communism that is behind the effort to have America work a 32-hour work week.  I think Americans need to work a 70-hour work week, at minimum.  I never have any compassion for someone who says they don’t have enough money when they are barely working 40 hours a week.  It was labor unions who gave us the stupid 40-hour work week, and that just isn’t enough when you have a productive culture filled with opportunity. What are people expecting to do with all that time off?  Why not work and make more money?  In my life, I have often worked two full-time jobs of 40 hours each, and held a part-time job on weekends, four or five hours a day on Saturdays and Sundays.  And I always spent time with my family.  I had time to play video games, read books, and watch movies.  People waste a lot of time in life, depending on the political philosophy that governs their society.  And if Americans want to Make America Great Again, they need to learn to work hard again.  And to stop listening to ridiculously stupid socialists, Marxists, and communists who just want to sit around smoking pot, living off welfare, and wasting their lives away with scratch-off lottery tickets, hoping to hit it big so they can work even less.  Those kinds of people are the slugs of society, and any culture that wants to be better needs to make fewer of them.

Trump Was Always Protected Under the 8th Amendment: Playing chicken with the federal government, and winning

All you need to know about America’s domestic enemies and that they are a Marxist insurrection is in the case against Trump in New York, where the attorney general, Letitia James, pushed for an obviously unconstitutional bail amount in an effort to enforce a default and confiscate the President’s property.  This is a funny story, even as sinister as it is, because it’s the guide for how all these cases will go against Trump, but it holds for any of us.  Luckily, Trump, with the amount of wealth he has amassed over the years, is willing to play chicken with these guys and expose them from the platform of the American Presidency.   His willingness to do so has brought to the surface this obvious communist strategy so audaciously, that everyone can understand it.  However, this notion that Letitia James was going to be able to take Trump’s property and bankrupt him was never going to work.  As the radical left made up the scam, they assumed that people would abandon the American Constitution well before now, but that hasn’t happened.  By the time everyone entered the last week of March 2024, and the media speculated on the awesome power of the federal government, with all its infinite resources and ability to destroy people’s lives, the truth ended up as a lesson in civics.  Trump was, and has always been, just as we all are, protected from the government under the 8th Amendment.  This indicates that any excessive punishment imposed by the government, along with outrageous bail, was prohibited.  And given that Letitia James and Judge Engoron set the bail for Trump’s real estate case at 454 million dollars, essentially half a billion dollars, it showed that they weren’t serious about the law but were trying to do something they were legally prevented from doing.  There has never been such a bail cast against an individual before, so the definition of “excessive” was easy to establish. 

It’s pretty clear

Of course, the appeals process reduced the bail amount to something more manageable, although still excessive, but it was easier for Trump to get his hands on raw cash.  And once that occurred, the New York case fell apart, and the theatrics were concluded.  It is actually funny that Biden began to call Trump “broke” on the campaign trail because his handlers wrote it that way, according to the Marxist script they had all been following.   Trump’s attornies pleaded during the ruling because they had to, that Trump didn’t have $454 million lying around and that it was an unusual hardship.  The appeals court lowered the amount to $175 million just as Letitia James moved in to put a padlock on Trump Tower in New York to accommodate the ridiculous bail amount.  The abuse couldn’t be more apparent to the world and it ended up being a great example of the Marxist invasion of our country that a lot of people were not willing to acknowledge.  However, during this process, Trump received considerable money from his social media platform, Truth Social, so he quickly had the cash to pay the lowered bail amount and move on.  Even though even that amount will be considered “excessive” and unconstitutional in the end.  For now, Trump just pulled out a wad of cash and paid off the communists and, in the process, doubled his wealth.  Any hopes that the radical left had about Trump going broke and being forced to sell off his assets along the New York skyline were averted, and Trump entered a new era in the world of politics that nobody had ever seen before.  He had won the standoff with the federal government, which nobody had expected. 

Except I had been saying for a few years now that the 8th Amendment prevented the government from doing precisely what they were doing to Trump.  I knew what the Trump legal team was doing when they declared hardship on the excessive fine imposed by Engoron because they had to get it on the record for the appeals process.  Trump could have paid the fines and fees, but should he?  That was the real question.  But the political left gave away their fantasy of a communist world with an out-of-control government running loose and, taking people’s property and throwing them in jail without due process.  This happens everywhere, especially with the Peter Navarro case and what happened to Alex Jones, Rudy Guiliani, and Sidney Powell.  All the J6th protestors.  I find it astonishing that more lawyers didn’t catch on to the unconstitutionality of these impositions quickly.  However, before the March 2024 property confiscations, the Trump legal team finally got specific about the 8th Amendment.  And once they did, the appeals court had no option but to reduce the bail and favor in the direction of Trump.  I think this whole argument could have been destroyed in the New York case months ago by citing the 8th Amendment protections, but Trump likely wanted to bait them along like the excellent negotiator that he is, for as long as he could get away with it, pushing them to overplay their hand.  Which they did, only to drop the bomb with them at the end of the case to make a point.  And in that process, the political left salivated at the destruction of Trump and showed the world who they were. 

I would have advised Trump to destroy his enemies in the very beginning and to never let them up for air.  All these cases against Trump have the same primary objective and fall under the same constitutional protections.  But Trump is playing this as a sportsman who might fish for those big guys in the water deep under a rockface.  The point of the Constitution that is important is that it limits government and takes away the kind of power the left is addicted to, which is Chinese-style communism centrally controlled.  The entire American legal system, including all Supreme Court cases, uses the Constitution to prevent the government from doing things it might want to do against people, with property rights and wealth creation being the center of proper social norms that sustain a functioning economy.  Without that stability, you end up with an out-of-control government, which Trump wanted to show with all these theatrics.  The Trump legal team let the dumb Letitia James make a fool out of herself with excessive abuse to show the world what she was really up to.  Then, when things got serious, the Trump team played the 8th Amendment card, and that essentially destroyed the case.  But Trump was never in trouble.  Trump played the situation wonderfully and took the criticism in the media to full effect, letting everyone speculate on his destruction, even as Letitia James coordinated all this government abuse with the Biden White House.  Because they were communists, they assumed that society would “progress” beyond the Constitutional limits of the American rule of law in favor of some ridiculous United Nations model of law and judgment.  But that’s not how it is in America, and now Trump has established a new value on that law that will solidify these court battles for many years to come.  For this reason, we are all much better off.

Lessons From George Lang’s Primary Win in Butler County: Political terrorism isn’t the way to win people over

It was not surprising to me that George Lang won in the primary for the 4th District Senate seat.  He was the best person for the job and is an integral part of the MAGA movement in Ohio politics.  And I like the guy quite a lot.  However, some things happened in this primary that need to be discussed, particularly concerning Candice Keller, who ran against him.  I thought it was a huge mistake when I first heard that she would.  I personally like Candice, her husband, and her supporters.  However, my relationship with George was founded on years of built-up trust, so everyone should know where my support would go.  But I did get some nasty campaign utterances against George, which I could care less about.  But I heard from people who questioned me because they wanted to say that George Lang was a RINO just because they lacked the extra gear he has in politics.  I think there are all kinds of people needed in political efforts; there are people who throw rocks.  And some people make deals, and all sorts of people in between.  Just because a politician like George has skills that other people don’t have, it doesn’t make him a RINO.  As I said on election day, George Lang never ran away from Trump, where many people in Ohio did; he even put a picture of himself next to Trump on the slate card in Butler County.  I have known George for a long time, and his support of Trump goes back as long as mine does, well before many of the modern tag-alongs saw the light.  I’ve been involved in many scenarios with George Lang where I know better than most what kind of person he is, so my endorsement of him came with that knowledge, which should have been the end of the story.

Always stand by your people, and never let the mob impact your opinions

Yet, right before the election, another friend of mine, Jennifer Gross, a representative from the 45th District, had called George to let him know that she couldn’t publicly endorse him because all the Candice Keller people were giving her a rough time.  In general, some kid running against her got ahold of the recording and published it to embarrass her.  Jennifer is of the rock thrower variety in Columbus and tends to have much of the same support as Candice Keller.  By talking in a friendly way to George and not being antagonistic toward him, she somehow betrayed Candice.  By default, if you wanted to prove you weren’t a RINO, you had to support Candice Keller.  Jennifer should have been able to help George Lang with an endorsement and to do so without fear.  But that she did fear the Candice Keller people says a lot about what’s wrong in politics.  If one politician has a better platform than another, then that is a free market appeal toward politics.  But forcing people to vote for someone else is the same kind of garbage that the radical left communists do.  That came from the Candice Keller people, mainly as it was applied to Jennifer Gross.  This is precisely why Candice Keller lost her previous seat where she was in the State House.  It takes guts to get into the arena but more skills than that to stay in it.  She got into trouble and didn’t work to build the right alliances, and she soon found herself on the out.  Which is her fault, and hers alone. 

George Lang never turned away from Trump, while many others have

I like the kind of trouble Candice Keller gets herself into as a rock thrower.  She was the one who caught Cindy Carpenter campaigning for Democrats in Middletown, so her brand of politics has its place, which keeps everyone healthy.  Regarding George Lang, she doesn’t know him like I do.  And it was her choice to run against him, and if she wanted to be in the arena of politics, there were other positions she could have picked.  Instead, she tends to want to run against George Lang and see how much power she has within the evangelical community to pull votes away from one of the top Republicans in Southern Ohio.  That’s a choice she made that isn’t rooted in good tactics.  It might be interesting.  But the effort isn’t serious beyond rock throwing, with all things considered.  If we didn’t have George Lang to pick from, I would happily vote for Candice.  But when there is a George Lang in a race, George is better in many categories and would get the vote and public support.  Jennifer Gross should have felt she could publicly support anyone without harassment.  But she was harassed, which led to that phone call to George, and was recorded by political rivals trying to make a name for themselves.  When it comes to party politics, everyone either wants to win, or they want to make noise.  In this case, support for President Trump should be the establishing criteria.  Everyone should be able to agree on that as a baseline in politics and work from there. 

Just because someone is successful or has more skills in a field than other people doesn’t mean they are wrong.  George Lang, in my experience with him, is far from a RINO.  He might be able to work with RINOs and Chamber people.  But he’s always the same guy at the end of the day, and I know his politics.  Making deals and getting along with people is only bad if you compromise who you are, and George doesn’t.  There is a lot of evil in the world, and just taking a hard line about a progressive topic such as transgenderism might make sense from a biblical perspective, but in general politics, not everyone is driven by such motivations.  And at that point, politics is not an evangelical enterprise.  If the goal is to use politics to enforce scripture, then you will lose support from the public, not gain it.  Whereas, if you are accommodating people’s viewpoints, even if they are evil, you might end up with a few more people in the pews on Sunday looking for leadership in their otherwise rudderless lives.  Trying to intimidate people into submission isn’t going to do the work for God.  God sells himself.  Doing an excellent job for people who need it, politically, is the way to go, and we should always pick the best people to perform those tasks.  And not try to intimidate people into support through fear of peer pressure.  There were a lot of primary positions that didn’t have challenges, such as Sheriff Jones’ seat, which I think he’s very vulnerable.  It was a choice to go after George Lang, so there will always be costs in the aftermath.  However, people should be able to express their opinions for or against candidates in a free market way.  Otherwise, the tactics are the same as the terrorists from the Karl Marx left.  And we should all be able to agree on how we feel about them.  Yet the harassment of Jennifer Gross shows a deeper problem that, until fixed, will continue to keep us from winning the way we need to, where the evil truly resides, in collectivism that both sides utilize to cover a lack of political skill whenever they are at wit’s end.

‘Remember the Alamo’ at Lakota Schools: Fake news hiding lawyer activism toward progressive politcs

“Remember the Alamo” is all I could think of as I saw Julie Shaffer’s signature on the notification that was sent to Darbi Boddy, hand-delivered at 7 AM on Monday, the 18th of March, 2024.  The letter was to notify Darbi that they were going to vote on the Lakota school board to vacate her seat since she had not been attending meetings, and now that a 90-day period had occurred, they were going to act on it on Wednesday the 20th.  What they failed to disclose to her or the media in the wake of the incident was their complicity in the occurrence.  Darbi wanted to attend the meetings as a popularly elected school board member but couldn’t because of a court-ordered restraining order that prevented her from being 500 feet from Isaac Adi, another school board member.  So Darbi was prevented from attending the meetings by activism from that same school board, which did not work to resolve a condition they caused under advisement from Lakota’s lawyers and little Judge Lyons.  And I emphasize “little” because it exhibits a common trait many of these people get into politics for, to begin with, the power the office brings and what they are willing to do with that power.  In this Darbi Boddy case, abuses of power are everywhere, and it was interesting to watch.  But as I looked at that signature and listened to the lies that the various school board members told the public about the incident, I couldn’t help but wonder what kinds of lies Julie Shaffer told people in the wake of her famous “Remember the Alamo” dancing panties party at an education retreat where she had to be put back together again by another school board member after a night of scandal and degradation.  And here was this same person signing the notification to Darbi Boddy, her political rival on the board, to using legal gymnastics to remove her from the board, then lie about it to everyone in the wake.

Like I always say, the rules are often made to protect the incompetent

Of course, the actual Alamo that occurred in Texas during the Spanish-American War involved a mob of parasites who overran the outpost there on the wild frontier, and some of America’s greatest heroes were killed in the bloodbath.  That is what is happening at Lakota schools; only Darbi Boddy will live to fight another day.  What was lost was a seat that was worthless as there an onslaught of parasites converged under the pressure of radicalism to take back their school from conservative influence.  The most significant value in Darbi’s term in office was that it revealed all the bad things I have always said were there and showed them to the community for what they are.  I wanted the election process to work, and I worked with many people I usually wouldn’t talk to for the school’s good to help make it happen.  But upon seeing that letter given to Darbi, I felt relief and freedom from playing nice with people who didn’t deserve it.  It wasn’t the first time I was willing to work with people who were not precisely as conservative as I am to do something good for Lakota.  But I get tired of being let down by them because they don’t have the guts to follow through, and they always compromise with radicals.  Ultimately, many people like to drink and get disgraced at some of these public events.  Everyone knows the Julie Shaffer story of her “Remember the Alamo” event, yet she was in a position to play her part in removing a school board member to protect the real people who run the Lakota school board, the lawyers, and the courts. 

Very true stuff. Revenge is the balance of existence. Always remember the battle cry of The Alamo and the giggles of drunken fools saying the same

Until Darbi was on the school board, I hadn’t noticed how much the Lakota school board punted everything to legal advice.  We always assumed we elected school board members and they worked on our behalf to run a community school.  We didn’t know that the school board was but a front group for lawyers in the background who are very progressive.  I know many of them, and they are not bastions of conservative value, especially those in the big law firms.  They are very much aligned with the Larry Finks of the world, politically, so when Darbi or anybody would speak in public to stop political activism from infecting our children, these lawyers work in the background to advance their cause on the radical left.  And the value of school board members to them is to pave the way for political activism.  And anybody who stood in the way of that would be eliminated.  The public election process was only an illusion to keep the tax money flowing through what people thought were honest elections.  But when someone like Darbi got elected, this was how the system protected itself.  If they couldn’t be controlled, they’d be eliminated.  In this case, they found a complicit victim in Isaac Adi to play his role, just as Julie Shaffer has, and the new Bobblehead Doug Horton and the outright communist, Kelly Casper.  That school board doesn’t represent the public, but it does the dirty work for the lawyers and keeps money flowing to them with easy cases and billable hours.  Because they are too stupid to think on their own, the legal bills add up for the law office with easy money that they protect with viciousness, obviously present in this Darbi Boddy case. 

And many of the characters involved are so stupid they don’t see the obvious, much like the Remember the Alamo moment in history, or Julie Shaffer’s personal disgrace, the comfort of the mob mentality often hides them from reality.  They think they can build a five-member board with hand-selected advocates for a new facilities plan and that they’ll put forth a tax increase that the public will support.  Yet, just next door in Fairfield, they just tried for another levy, which was shot down rather spectacularly.  And they forget that Darbi Boddy was popularly elected in their drunken binges where clothes are undoubtedly optional, and they giggle about it within the power of their networks of misfits.  And that she is still popularly supported.  What they have done to her will be remembered, certainly.  I think Darbi is far better off.  We learned what we needed to learn from her being in that seat, and it exposed people I had previously thought were decent people.  But it’s better to know who is doing what and why they did it, which we know now.  Like that classic battle in Texas, the short-term mob behavior overran the fortifications.  But soon after, the entire war effort collapsed under its own weight.  This is what I see happening at Lakota schools as a direct result.  The politeness was gone.  Fake news was presented for all to see because they knew the truth of what the school board did to Darbi under the guidance of the lawyers who ran everything against the taxpayer’s wishes.  And yes, we will “Remember the Alamo.”  We now have the freedom to act on what we know, which we didn’t have before because we had to work with the system to prove that we could and were willing.  But now we are free of that burden, thankfully.  We can “Remember the Alamo” and apply justice without regret.

Frank Herbert’s ‘Dune’: The kind of political philosophy that will take mankind into a space economy

I spend a lot of time thinking about the challenges of becoming an interplanetary civilization.  When people ask me why I do what I do, I tell them it’s not for money, it’s not for popularity, and it’s certainly not for a platform for politics.  I am interested in philosophy as Socrates exhibited it, specifically, the thinking it will take to move humanity off the Earth and become a multi-planetary species.  This past week, two things happened that reminded me of this task. The first was the Starship launch, which was very successful with SpaceX.  The second Dune movie did very well at the box office, showing continued interest, which I think is terrific because it gives people access to the old Frank Herbert books, which I think are masterpieces on a biblical scale, as opposed to just science fiction.  I have been thinking a lot about Frank and his books lately, the six he wrote, then the final two in the original series that his son continued to conclusion. 

If we want to be an interplanetary civilization, we must first solve some fundamental problems. One of those is the problem of power and why people crave it. One great example of exploring that problem is the novels by Frank Herbert in, Dune, the eight-book analysis introduced to the world through the latest movies, which are very good. But just the start of quite a journey.  More people would better understand our current circumstances if they read Frank Herbert’s books because he deals with a lot of serious stuff in that fantastic series.  Yes, as in the movies, they are dealing with the human race as they have colonized space, all over the universe space, not just a regional galaxy, 10,000 years in the future.  The politics are very similar to the concerns of the Old Testament, with bloodlines and kingdoms at the heart of the story.  Frank is very concerned with the nature of politics, so these Dune books are more about sociology and politics than they are about science or fiction. In the movies, the one from 1984 and now these recent ones, the lead character rises to greatness to become the new emperor, and that’s the end of the story.  That fits a typical narrative for a Hollywood movie.  But Dune is much more than these things, so these stories have been hard to make into movies.  The point in building up the lead story and characters is that the rest of the book rips them apart in a kind of libertarian study of the human race and how power corrupts, or does it?  One thing that Frank does that I am very interested in, that very few anybodies has ever touched, is how the spirit world influences the politics of humanity.  It’s an offering of the kind of Divine Council discussed in Psalms 82 and certainly reflects what Paul talked about in Ephesians.  Who rules us from beyond the grave, and how far down the rabbit hole does it go?  In those Dune books, Herbert even calls his work a prediction, not fiction, as he sets out to study ecology.  I think of our political life as just the surface reflections of much deeper forces at work, not all of them human as we think of the word.  And not just spiritual as we think of Casper the ghost or the Holy Spirit.  We must look at the spirit world as it strives to exist outside our known universe and expect that they are using self-interest to manipulate our lives to their advantage.  Frank Herbert deals with that level of political management, and it’s fantastic and can’t really be captured in the movies. 

As crazy as our political system is, I consider it a healthy necessity.  What America is going through is needed for global management of political systems that can then carry over into off-world colonies, which are coming at us much faster than people realize.  And we must solve some of these problems before we come to that impasse.  We must have a political system based on a healthy understanding of capitalism before we start moon colonies and cities on Mars.  Too much micromanagement of adventures into space will stop progress, and as Herbert assumes in his books, humanity reverts to the biblical necessity of royal bloodlines through the Vico Cycle.  I disagree with a lot about Herbert, especially regarding drug use.  But like the work of Graham Hancock that I have talked about in using ayahuasca to communicate with the spirit world, the spice in Dune is essentially the same kind of thing, and I think Herbert is on to something essential as far back as 1965.  Many of the Baal worshipers of Canaan also used psychedelics in their rituals, and in that context, it is likely the cause of the frequent turning away from God that is a majority of the narrative in the Bible.  Frank Herbert in Dune explores why this is the case and when drugs are used to speak to other spirit beings, who they are, and what they are motivated by.  And by coming to terms with that, you can then understand the kind of evil that is loose in the world now, and understand it with some perspective. 

Herbert goes so far as to place political motivations for spiritual influence in his many Dune books and migrates beyond universal influence, which is pretty impressive as a work of fiction.  I would put it on the level of Atlas Shrugged and other Ayn Rand works.  I don’t agree with everything she does either, but the thought process is beneficial.  Somewhere in these intellectual works are the answers we need to become an interplanetary species, so I don’t get too excited about transitory elections.  What we are all fighting against each other to achieve is the war of ideas that survive into the future, and I tend to think of these efforts in the most extensive picture possible. The trajectory of change will far exceed standard election cycles.  It’s why people win that matters, why certain people are attracted to power, and how power corrupts or is helpful to society.  And how a tyrant today might be a benefactor tomorrow.  Morality is often not so much determined by what we see but by what we are growing to understand and how that understanding is influential across over 22 dimensions.  And as we continue to build nations and colonies in space, what kind of political system should they have to accommodate with all considerations available, as we can know them, through science or fiction.  The Dune books have some magnificent things to say along those lines, and I think it is wonderful that the movies are doing well and that people are learning about the books for the first time.   One thing that space travel needs is a healthy appreciation of government systems that embrace capitalism.  Future religions must be joined at the hip; otherwise, their value will fall apart.  So, it’s not enough to build a Starship and start moving people into a new space economy.  We must work on the deep philosophical problems that have permeated the human race since the beginning.  And we have to solve them with something fresh, and America is the leader of that movement.  In the long run, it will make much more sense for people.

Why Democrats Must Cheat in Elections: They have run out of people, and need illegal immigration to replace who they lost

The hard truth about Democrats wanting illegal immigrants to vote for them with free giveaways goes deeper than just trying to rig elections with unregistered voters.  When Merrick Garland put his opinions behind a recent Arizona judge who stated that voter ID and undocumented voters could not be pulled off the voter rolls in that state, they were trying to hide a huge problem for them.  They have only managed to cover this ruse with massive election fraud over several years, not just recently.  And that truth is that Democrats simply don’t have enough voters to keep their dumb, Marxist ideas in power without election fraud, and the illegal immigration attempts are far more than just a George Soros globalist plan for open borders.  Democrats are out of voters.  And without illegal immigration, they are not competitive in elections.  They got away with a close election in 2020 because they turned to open election fraud with mail-in ballots to perform the task.  But 2024 won’t be so easy, so the Biden administration, knowing that they did not have 81 million voters in 2020 has turned to the open borders concept to hope to get enough unregistered voters on the books to keep them in power not just in the White House, but on all the down-ballot races as well.  Only with unregistered voters from illegal immigration and the avoidance of voter ID can Democrats hope to keep some of their seats in elections and present themselves as a two-party country.  But I’ve been everywhere in this country, and I can say we are not a two-party country.  We have some blue areas in cities where Democrats gather together in a group huddle of Marxism while they sip lattes at Starbucks and complain about the rain.  But they do not equally represent America, not by a long shot.

The concept of illegal immigration has always been a scam for the Democrats, and even with the tens of millions of migrants and the Cloward and Piven strategy to overwhelm America with a welfare state disguised as compassion, in reality, being all about voter engagement because Democrats have lost their voter base.  It’s not lost on me that President Trump used to be a Democrat, as well as Kari Lake, even Elon Musk these days.  Most of the people running the MAGA movement are not hard-line Republicans.  Even Ronald Reagan was a Democrat who converted to Republican.  Most of the noisiest Republicans these days were former Democrats, and I welcome them to the party.  The Republican Party is indeed a big tent party, and there have been a lot of changes lately in it.  Many people say that Biden can’t hope to win this upcoming election in 2024 because he’s underwater in Michigan, and his EV policies have killed his support in the auto industry.  The union vote will vote for Trump, and they typically vote Democrat.  And it’s that way in most industries: because Democrats represent tyranny and centralized control, people who used to call themselves Democrats have converted to Republicans.  I would argue as well that many immigrants that Democrats are counting on to vote for them will tend to vote for Republicans once they figure out what’s going on.  Most immigrants are pro-family, and the Democrats are anti-family.  So, it’s not good math for Democrats trying to hold power through competitive elections.  Without election fraud, they know they can’t win anything. 

That’s also been the push by Democrats to get rid of the Electoral College and go to a popular vote.  Suppose they can get illegal immigrants to load up the opportunities to vote in California and other border states. In that case, they might be able to get a popular vote count, as they have over the last few elections when they say, “Trump didn’t win the popular vote.”  That is because illegal aliens voted in those elections, and Democrats want those counted for justification for their political existence.  However, if they had policies that worked and had not moved to the hard left over time, they would have built their political platform rather than pushed people away.  As it stands, Democrats are either dumb people, pot-smoking losers, welfare recipients, or they don’t understand American politics because they are new to the country.  Or, they are anti-God, anti-Israel heathens trying to go back to the sacrifice of their first-born children to Baal at the high alters of Canaan.  Democrats have played a victimization card to inspire compassionate Republicans’ ability to cheat to make things close.  But in truth, it has never been close.  It has taken Democrats a combination of digital machines connected to the internet for Deep State intelligence agencies to keep Democrats in power, on paper, to keep supporting the big government Beltway unions, and illegal immigration to stuff ballots in the state and local races across the country to give an appearance of a 50/50 nation.  But they have gone too far, run out of people, and have no plan B.  Besides illegal immigration, to give them new voters to replace the ones they have lost, they have no hope of keeping power.  And that’s the future of politics in America; it goes far beyond populism.  It’s not something they will be able to continue to utilize to give the illusion of a two-party country.  They are out of tricks, and it shows in their desperation.

So it wasn’t surprising to see Democrats moving back toward election fraud as their only means of winning anything in 2024.  They must have illegal immigrants, and they can’t afford to have voter ID, which should be mandatory.  If you are voting for a representative in a country, you must at least show that you are a member. Otherwise, nobody is serious about honest elections.  But Democrats can’t afford to be.  They do not have a political base to stand on; they have lost members of their party, not gained them.  It’s the Republicans who have gained members, and now that minority groups and women are voting Republican, the Democrats don’t have a leg to stand on.  So, they are trying to replace the voters they have lost in America with illegal immigration.  I’ve always been a Republican.  Not some slack-jawed dope-smoking libertarian.  And certainly never a Democrat.  I have been against labor unions as communist-based antagonizers hostile to American industry.  And I have found them all disgusting.  But, they are more and more joining the Republican Party as a safe place for politics because the Democrats have been horrendous and driven away their members.  Election fraud is their only hope.  So, I welcome the big tent of the Republican Party to those seeking refuge.  We might not agree on much, but we can at least get behind some of these new Republican candidates, like Trump and others who are now part of that big tent.  But don’t kid yourself on the illegal immigration scam.  It’s not about compassion for the advocates of it or even the open border policy intent on a one-world government.  In America, it’s desperation to replace the voters they have lost because their policies are so grotesquely bad.  And the only people who are voting for Democrats these days are people who don’t know better until they learn and then decide to vote Republican as the only choice for a strong nation.

Sheriff Jones on Glenn Beck: Talking out of both sides, especially when it comes to Darbi Boddy

As much as I think we all want to get behind Sheriff Jones’ terrorist watch initiative in Butler County, Ohio, I couldn’t help but wonder if the same guy talking on the Glenn Beck Radio Show was the person who had stripped away the CCW of school board member Darbi Boddy, over a bogus civil protection order filed against her.  Anybody with any logic knows that Sheriff Jones has played his part in allowing another school board member, Isaac Adi, to file a motion of protection against Darbi Boddy essentially over pure politics.  The lawyers who run the Lakota school board don’t want someone like Darbi, a staunch conservative MAGA type of community representative negotiating labor contracts with the radical leftist teacher’s union, so they have all worked in the background to find some way to remove Darbi from the school board by some legal nonsense such as this civil protection order that Isaac filed against Darbi, constructed on the back of a napkin and abused by several political figures in the know.  This is a clear case of abuse of government power to subvert the will of the voters who put Darbi in office.  But because these political figures, and their legal handlers reject who the voters put in their political club, they have turned toward the power of abusive government to edit that decision in a vile and disgusting way.  So when Sheriff Jones, who is at the center of the case, says to Glenn Beck, “The sheriffs work for the people, and if the people don’t like the job they do, they can vote them out.”  That clearly isn’t the message in the Darbi Boddy case.  The unsaid statement from politicians like Jones is that we control the law, and we can come up with anything to destroy you, including taking away your CCW over a phony political charge meant to keep an elected officeholder off her duties for 90 days so they can appoint some weak loser they can control for contract negotiations.  Essentially, the local version of Joe Biden, to join the others they have allowed on the school board.  Wherever there is a lot of money, we should expect this kind of corruption.  But what is new is that we learned the lawyers are actually the activists behind election fraud, which is what all this is: the removal of a public pick for office to manage the affairs of the community. 

Sheriff Jones had a pretty good meltdown at a nomination interview with the Central Committee types at the end of 2023, where he did not get an endorsement.  His response was anger in stating that he didn’t need a party endorsement, and his response for his upcoming re-election was to go it alone.  So he has picked this immigration issue, which we all agree on, and booked himself on several big national shows to bring celebrity representation into Butler County, which we also like.  I like seeing my sheriff on the Glenn Beck Show and other places discussing important counter-terrorism topics.  But we also expect to walk the walk and not just talk about it.  Jones was in trouble with the Central Committee people because of how he handled the Darbi Boddy situation and Lakota school politics in general, especially the behavior of the previous superintendent.  Then there is the Roger Reynolds case; Jones has been caught many times trying to destroy his political rivals over the last several years, so there wasn’t an option to vote him out of office.  He destroys anybody who might try.  After I learned from several people who knew what happened between Jones and the Central Committee, I thought we probably should have put up someone to run against him.  But people liked him enough to give him the benefit of the doubt, so in that way, Jones sabotaged any rivals before they could be put forth. 

So, the guy we heard on the Glenn Beck Program was not the same person we are dealing with in our community.  I wish it were. I like that Sheriff Jones who can do media and represent us nicely to the rest of the world, and I’ve told him that directly on more than one occasion.  But this activist who uses the power of office to abuse that power and take down political rivals, such as what is happening against Darbi Boddy, is what makes the world a much worse place.  In Darbi’s case, the sheriff who pulled her CCW is a sheriff by the name of David Duchak from Miami County.  But all these sheriffs know each other, especially on this issue. Sheriff Jones has allowed it to happen and done all he could to blow on the embers of discontent, only not directly to maintain plausible deniability.  My statement on who cares about a Concealed Carry Permit, we are a Constitutional Carry state for just this very purpose.  We can’t ultimately trust the government not to abuse its power, so gun rights are a check on that power, and the police don’t get to use the machine of politics to disarm the public.  I view a CCW as a good practice and will continue to maintain one.  But in Ohio, it’s not necessary.  This is also the problem with red flag laws.  When it can abuse its power, as it is against Darbi Boddy, to remove her from an elected office they don’t want her in, the government can use the law to destroy people, including disarming them under some bogus suspicion generated by that same government.  Who believes a big man like Isaac Adi is terrified of a 110-pound Darbi Boddy dripping wet?  (Which is why most women don’t like her) Yet because Isaac made an accusation, the powers of government have been allowed to ruin the life of Darbi Boddy in very destructive ways, particularly on gun rights. 

Meanwhile, the terrorists are a real threat, and we do need to do what Sheriff Jones is saying, at least to the media.  Private people are the fine line between success and failure, which we just recently saw when young thugs at the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl party opened fire into the crowd of a million or so and were stopped by private citizens bold enough to put an end to the senseless violence.  The police were then called to come in and clean up the mess.  And now that the Biden administration has allowed many terrorist cells into our nation through his open border policy, we have a lot of similar threats that are undoubtedly going to continue.  And our best hope of minimizing casualties from this threat is to have private people helping law enforcement manage the danger.  And Darbi Boddy is one of those people with whom Sheriff Jones should be aligned, not antagonizing over political power.  You can’t talk out of both sides of your mouth.  You either want to stop terrorist threats with community involvement, or you just want to go on Glenn Beck and other shows to talk a good game to get re-elected so that you can just abuse the power of elected office to bring meaning to a life otherwise lacking.  But you can’t have it both ways, which is why the Central Committee was hesitant to endorse him in the first place.  Sheriff Jones’ performance had come into question, and people have been thinking about firing him.  Yet it’s not nearly as simple as he tried to make it sound to Glenn Beck.  But we don’t have anybody to rival him because he has used government power to push away rivals and maintain himself as the only choice.  But if anything, that lack of community unification has made us much more vulnerable to terrorism than anything else, and Sheriff Jones has undoubtedly played his part in that discontent.
