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.

I Support George Lang Emphatically for Senate in the 4th District of Ohio: Staying strong under intense fire in 2024

With George Lang’s term as an Ohio senator coming up this year, he’s up for re-election in 2024, I happily endorse him for another term.  George Lang has done a great job in the 4th District of Ohio, and I wish every politician were like him.  If they were, we’d be a lot better off as a country.  Yet, many people, especially my readers, have developed a healthy distrust of politicians of all kinds, and I know many wonder why I like George Lang so much, even though he is considered a mainstream politician.  After all, Candace Keller had filed to run against George, which she had done before when it was for a representative seat, and the campaign took a turn for the worse in the mudslinging.  I personally like Candice, her husband, and her family.  I tend to get along best in the world with people like her.  On most things, our politics are very much aligned.  But because she has filed and intends to run against George, I must talk about a few things as to why I am such a supporter of the very powerful senator for the 4th District and explain why he’s not a RINO as is so common a designation for a mainstream politician.  While I am certainly no fan of RINOs, I must set the record straight going into this election year as to why I have always supported George, which sometimes mystifies people.  But from my perspective, it’s an easy decision, because George Lang is a very good person from the ground up and I have known that side of him for a very long time now, around 15 years.  And he’s very much the same person now that I have known all that time, which brings to mind three examples that would put some rationality behind the decision-making process.

Yes, George Lang associates with compelling people and has for many years; John Boehner comes to mind as he was marching toward the Speaker of the House role in Congress.  Along the way, George and I formed a friendship as fellow Tea Party members who were very upset by the direction Barack Obama was taking our country, which goes all the way back to 2009.  Well, all this was before President Trump came along, but in 2012, I had a significant negative news story designed to push everyone away from me.  I was okay with it, but there were a lot of Judas types who were perfectly willing to kiss my cheek in public to be thrown to the wolves, to say it nicely.  We had an event in the back room of a local LaRosa’s restaurant to rally support for me in the wake of intense fire.  Guess who stood with me under the fierce fire in public.  There is a picture of us all at this event, but guess who took the picture?  George Lang came, probably on the same afternoon he was having lunch with John Boehner, Speaker of the House at the time.  My name was all over the media, on all the primary sources so he had a lot to lose.  But he came anyway and was even willing to be in the picture.  It was my suggestion that he take the picture and that we keep him out of it.  So we took the picture, and I learned a lot about George Lang that day, which has lasted for over a decade.  He’s the real deal and he will stand with you under intense fire.  He had much to lose being associated with me, especially by the donors.  But as I have seen many more times than once, George is strongly inclined to do the right things, especially under great fire.

I can also say that I have seen George work with Governor DeWine with the door closed and the pressure very hot.  My thoughts on any management, especially politics, is that you get much more done with the door shut than with dueling press conferences.  And George has been highly influential in these kinds of meetings. A lot goes on in the senate in Columbus, Ohio, that has George Lang’s name all over it, but he never seeks the credit.  And I’ve witnessed it several times personally with Governor DeWine, where just a few people were in the room, and George had to make his point.  These are no powder puff conversations; George is stern when he needs to be and knows what to say and when.  And as professionals should be, George and the Governor were able to shake hands and get things done at the end of the conversation.  I would point to the recent flip-flop by DeWine on the transgender surgery ban for kids as one such example.  DeWine does listen to people when he steps in it.  And George has been one who can shut the door and talk to him without compromising who he is politically.  This is a skill that many people never develop in their lives.  It comes easily to George.  Many people in his position get washed away by the giant waves when you spend time with some of these prominent personalities; it’s easy to happen.  But George can play at a very high level and never lose himself in becoming a RINO.

George has such an excellent personal foundation and can do the things I am talking about because he sincerely loves his wife.  I have known that side of them, and I can say that one of the reasons George and I have maintained a friendship all this time is because he has a great relationship with his wife, which I respect.  I don’t know many people who love their wives and kids like George Lang.  And it has been my observation that this is the key to George’s success.  When you can love a spouse the way George does of his wife Debbie and your kids the way he does, then you can love your country, your political party, your Constitution, your commitment to business, everything with that strong foundation.  And that’s ultimately why I like George so much.  I know a lot of politicians, but I don’t know of many who have such strong foundations as George Lang does.  If you can love a wife the way he does her, and she does him, then you are doing something fundamentally right at the start.  And that can then translate into many good things you do in life.  So, when it comes to other politicians, it may not be their fault that they aren’t as skilled as George Lang is.  And people frustrated that they don’t have those skills might assume that he possesses some voodoo magic in his associations with the very powerful.  But I know him very personally and know that his secret sauce is the love of his family, which allows him to play big ball without losing himself along the way.  Because at the end of the day, no matter what happens, he has his family, which is really all George wants in life.  And that makes him very good as a senator and someone we are lucky to have in the 4th District in Ohio.  I wish we could have him forever, but for now, at least one more term.

They All Have it Coming: The Beltway is preparing for the Trump revenge tour

With all the positioning propaganda against Trump that has come out in the 2023 election cycle, the purposeful Christmas Dinner conversation meant to steer people away from Trump to neocon losers like Birdbrain Nikki; the truth is lingering behind people’s actions. Most notably, the way Marco Rubio and others acted regarding the recent NDAA signage pushed recklessly through the House and Senate for continued spending.  The baseball insiders know what’s going on with Trump and understand that the media will not be able to shape stories as they have in the past and that all these attempts to knock Trump out of the 2024 presidential race will fall flat.  The SWAMP doesn’t want to be drained, and the alligators and snakes are fighting back with a brutal sentiment.  But they all know what’s coming, which is precisely why they put a provision in that latest NDAA bill that will prevent Trump from pulling out of NATO over support of Ukraine’s fight with Russia over border disputes.  They know Trump will be in the White House again, and they are already working to protect their nest eggs, so if it wasn’t already apparent to the world, it is now.  The inside baseball people in politics know that the inevitable is about to happen, and there is nothing they can do about it short of starting a Civil War, which is actually on the table from their perspective.  Before they hand over the reins of government to the MAGA political wave, they are going to pull every dirty trick in the book.  This NDAA thing is just an easy one to spot because it always involves Republicans like Marco Rubio, who are just whores for distributing government money confiscated from taxpayers and giving it to big globalist goals like the support of NATO, so long as America funds it while other countries don’t. 

These tricks have worked in the past because a level of trust came with them.  People trusted the media because they didn’t want to waste their time doubting them, and they trusted politicians enough to let them make up bills like the NDAA NATO supporting horror that it is because it didn’t affect ordinary people very much.  But we had a stolen election in 2020, and we had a bioweapons attack that killed people.  We shut them up in their homes, destroyed their businesses, and broke up families in a truly terrible year, and people have not forgotten.  The arrogant people who perpetrated this attack thought they had it all figured out.  Disney would help them create “global citizens” in America, the media would steer everyone into the slaughterhouse compliantly, and globalism would be well on its way to world domination.  And people wouldn’t be any wiser to it.  All the pinheads in media who can barely write 300 words without consulting an AI program thought they had it all in the bag.  The plan going into the election season would be that lawfare would keep Trump off the ballot, planted news stories around Christmas time would steer the public away from the troubled Trump during the Holiday of 2023, and the bad guys would win once again because the dumb, gullible public would be too busy watching football and unwrapping presents to understand what was happening.  The scam perpetrators, like Dr. Fauci before them, would get honorary degrees and peace prizes and be invited to Davos to speak at the World Economic Forum as celebrities. Leonardo DiCaprio might even sit next to them at a round table event. And globalism would continue to grow unimpeded.

But that plan blew up over that same period, the entire fourth quarter of the 2023 year.  The bad guys were going through the motions, but the results weren’t returning as intended.  Going through the Holiday season, Trump was pulling way ahead of Biden, leaving the other GOP competitors in the dust.  The Colorado story about taking Trump off the ballot was going nowhere.  The Supreme Court was signaling that it wasn’t going to support the Jack Smith insurrection case as a fast track to impact the primary season, which the Colorado story depends on for a Constitutional verdict, and Nikki Haley is not catching Trump the way Fox News tried to sell it.  People who saw these stories said, “We aren’t going to be suckered by you people again.”  And they turned the channel and watched something else.  People are ready to vote for Trump for one primary reason.  Globalism has cost them money, and they are tired of sending money to places like Ukraine while China continues to abuse old man Biden ruthlessly, indicating they are planning to take Taiwan back as a part of their country, putting all of us at risk of losing computer chip manufacturing.  The conversations I was in with people who never think about things like this are concerned about one thing: their money isn’t worth as much now as it was before that 2020 attack against American sovereignty.  When Trump was in the White House before, life was better for them.  What they have seen over the last three years has terrified them.  And they want their country back.  I’m not going to say, “I told you so, all of you,” But “I told you so,” all along.  I can think of many Christmases in times past where I was the only one talking about these things.  Now, everyone is. 

And the Beltway insiders know it too; everyone knows it.  This won’t be an average year for anybody.  People want Trump back in office for normalcy.  Continued ANTIFA riots are only going to make people angrier and less supportive of progressive politics.  Either way, a continuation of the radicalism of 2020 into 2024 is going to turn people away from Democrat priorities, or Trump moving back into the White House will set it in motion with a revenge tour that is perfectly justified.  Lots of people need to suffer for what they did to us all.  And we see it in our bank accounts.  All these globalists who thought they were going to crush the American economy to reset global expectations with their Great Reset forgot that there were people who would be angry about it.  And they were going to blame the globalists, people like Marco Rubio, who plays a Republican on television, but as a senator, sees his role in protecting global military police, NATO, and other partnerships that are grossly one-sided, to impose border disputes on nationalists to make them states of the United Nations.  All those flights of fancy in previous years sounded like ambitious plans that didn’t impact Hometown USA and everyone’s Christmas Dinners.  Plenty of presents were under the tree, and food was easy to get.  But this year, not so much.  Food is costly.  The cost of all goods and services is dramatically higher than during the Trump years, and people are furious about it.  So Little Marco and his gang of government thieves have stuck support for NATO into the NDAA while they still have the power to do so.  Because they know what’s coming, and they are bracing for impact.  And from my perspective, they will need much more than a seat belt.

Second Call Defense May Be the Most Important Thing You Do in 2024: Catherine Herridge thinks there will be a “Black Swan” event, and I think she’s right

Catherine Herridge is one of the only reporters I still respect from the mainstream news, and there is a lot of talk about a recent statement she made about the upcoming year of 2024 when she indicated that she thought there would be a Black Swan event at some point. I agree with her; there may be several. There are a lot of bad guys in the world that have been dramatically empowered by bad laws, weak politics, globalism, terrorism, and eroded values, and the power and money that have come from these activities are not going to be given up easily. I expect a lot of attempts to unleash violence into our society before power is given back or taken back by force. Whatever the case, the bad guys will not just ride off nicely into the night. That’s why they are bad guys; they do bad things and harm innocent people. So I think 2024 will be unusually difficult, much worse than 2020 when color revolutions were unleashed in the streets with a few phone calls from the rich and famous. Sheer whores who will do anything for a buck took over entire cities in 2020 and nearly burned Washington DC to the ground. The media and political figures responsible for the terrible things that happened in 2020 want you to think about the time that people pushed back on January 6th, hoping to erase from your mind everything you had seen and experienced and that some fantasy of normalcy could come from the Biden administration in those early days of 2021. But no, people didn’t forget, and they are voting for Trump anyway; populist movements everywhere are looking for revenge, using the law first to implement it. But that leaves the bad guys nowhere to go, and you can bet they will try every desperate thing to outrun justice.

One thing that has been on my mind is that I had to scold a few of our local news people from the network news who were trying to stoke riots from downtown Cincinnati to come up into West Chester to harass people outside the I-275 loop. A few did come, but it didn’t go very far. My response was similar to what I’m about to say, and in some cases, I walked people I know through the process of buying guns to defend their homes. These were people who don’t usually think this way but were not about to let a bunch of thugs ransack their homes, rape their women, and make a general mess of things in their community. But you can bet that George Soros and all his friends intended for all that to happen even more. What happened recently in Israel could quickly occur anywhere in the United States; the intention of the bad guys is undoubtedly there, and if they aren’t going to respect our laws and enforcement community, then what choice does anybody have? So I helped a lot of people get their hands on guns “just in case,” and the critical riots from Fox 19 News and Channel 5 fizzled out and moved back down the highway to hang out in Over-The-Rhine. Thankfully, it got close to being messy and never quite evolved into a crisis. But people learned from those events that it was possible and needed to be prepared. That’s why I’m recommending to everyone this time membership to Second Call Defense, which is insurance for gun owners who may need to make that second call after a defensive shooting to keep a very corrupt judicial system from destroying your life in the aftermath, which is one of their strategies against the Second Amendment.

We’ve seen how lawfare has been used against Trump, and before all these recent ostentatious displays of law abuse, it has occurred in many ways in our own hometown. Right now, I can think of how the law has been weaponized against Darbi Boddy, who has a bogus hearing on December 29th. She’s the school board member from Lakota who has so many radical elements trying to destroy her life just because she exists, and they want her in jail. And the local Republican Party has been stoking the fires to make it happen—hazardous stuff. I could say the same of what happened to Roger Reynolds, the former Butler County auditor. I just received a very nice Christmas note from Judge Elderstein, a story where the Butler County judges go after their own in really detrimental ways, and this story involves the prosecutor of Butler County, Michael Gmoser, and many other influential people in Ohio who have been engaged in lawfare against political rivals. These law enforcement types cannot be trusted and they are not the people you want to be dealing with after a defensive shooting. Ohio is a lot better on gun laws, particularly Stand Your Ground and Constitutional Carry as a result of our current government doing really good things to make them happen. I’m a permit holder and probably always will be. And yes, because of my lifestyle, it comes up more than you’d like. I had an incident just a few days ago where everyone made it to Christmas Dinner. But gun altercations are more of a reality in a politically charged society as we have now, where radical elements are empowered to bring harm to innocent people, and those innocent people have no choice but to defend themselves. We want to trust the law to do their jobs, but there are many reasons to understand that trust isn’t on the table.

You will get benefits if you use my name to join Second Call Defense.  I know the people involved and I like them a lot.  I usually don’t bring up these kinds of memberships, but I would say, especially this coming year of 2024, to protect yourself with Second Call Defense or an insurance program like it.  I’m not here to sell you insurance.  I have been associated with Second Call Defense for a long time, around ten years now.  Over that span, there have been six times when I almost had to make that second call, counting the recent incident from the other day.  And believe me, before you pull the trigger on an attacker, it does run through your mind.  Because once you do pull that trigger and someone dies as a result, the political hellhounds who want to attack the Second Amendment will be all over you, trying to use that tragedy to destroy your life in every way they can.  With Second Call Defense, you let their lawyers handle your case as soon as the police arrive. They’ll help you get your gun back, and they help with bond money and the kind of procedures that a person without representation would find to be a nightmare.  You don’t want to become a January 6th prisoner or go through what Darbi Boddy is going through now because the law has targeted you for their acquisition of power.  A self-defense shooting is bad enough without having the legal system destroy your entire life for its display of power and political objectives.  So, as some friendly advice, I would recommend everyone who carries a firearm, even in a Constitutional Carry way, to join Second Call Defense, even if just for 2024.  I hope it’s not the case, but things will likely get very rough in 2024, and you want to be prepared on all fronts.  Putting up with detrimental behavior is not an option.  But it would be best to protect yourself with more than a gun.  Insurance certainly helps, and it will rest your mind in those times when you do have to use a weapon and pull the trigger against someone attacking you.  I can’t recommend Second Call Defense more; it may be the most important thing you can do for yourself in 2024.  It’s rough out there; access to good legal representation certainly needs to be part of any strategy that deals with the malicious intent of a society gone mad.

Ohio State Central Committee Members Show the Trend in Modern Politics: Sara Carruthers did not get endorsed by the Republican Party, among others

It’s not just the cosmetics on corporate television; we are seeing some real trends in politics that everyone should take notice of.  What we learned after 2020 was just how much control an invisible sector of a ruling class had over our elections, and in America, we were very far away from a real republic.  It was a kind of dictatorship run by corporate conglomerations who thought that communism China style was the wave of the future and that everyone else should get on board with it.  I read countless books, particularly by people like Ray Dalio, who had already committed to this World Economic Forum view of the world from the power players at Davos early in the last decade, so for them, it was all a done deal.  But as mystified that many are that Trump is headed to be the nominee for the Republican Party and that Ohio was one of the first states to fully endorse him officially, there are a lot of perplexed faces out there from the mainstreamers who thought they had it all figured out.  They didn’t, and the evidence of all that was obvious in a recent Central Committee meeting in Butler County, Ohio, where the actual trends were showing themselves quite obviously.  The mainstream candidates found that they weren’t so mainstream and that the baked-in opposition party approach to mass collectivism, such as the local Sheriff’s commitment to unionized labor, was dramatically out of step with the coming political trends.  No surprise for me, I have watched this evolution since before the Tea Party movement started in 2009, as a direct reaction to the implantation of Barack Obama as a terrorist selection of the Weather Underground party, which many of us pointed out but were not listened to.  It was the same kind of denial that resulted in local politics in 2023 as the Central Committee picked new faces for party endorsements to replace the old ones. Suddenly, the political world took on an entirely new meaning. 

For instance, there has been a lot of talk lately about Sara Carruthers, a state representative for the 47th district in Ohio who had just been censored for not supporting the Speaker of the House that should have been elected, but instead worked with Democrats to put in place a known RINO, last year.  After the defeat of Lynda O’Conner off the Lakota school board in 2023, Sara expressed her views about extremism in the Republican Party to the Journal News quite explicitly, saying that she found them alarming.  For a long time now people have been frustrated by Sara’s obvious leanings toward the Democrat Party and there has been a desire to purge the party of RINOs, (Republicans in Name Only) and that has most percolated within the Central Committee meetings.  Over the last decade, better people have joined these Central Committees and have sought to reform the Republican Party from the inside out because they were frustrated with the kind of Republicans who were running the party, people like John Kasich and John Boehner.  But there was always a lot of strong-arming and intimidation that went with these meetings, so it has taken a while for many members to find their courage and conduct themselves the way that party politics was designed to best represent the voter base of a community.  So Sara didn’t get an endorsement for the Republican Party this time; instead, it went to Diane Mullins.  Shocking in the traditional way of viewing politics, where those who raise the most money tend to have the most power.  That shift has changed since Trump entered politics. Gradually, the Central Committees have grown the courage to fill their roles appropriately instead of being intimidated into voting a certain way. 

Another emerging trend is in MAGA candidates, like Bernie Moreno, who J.D. Vance has endorsed as a partner over Secretary of State Frank LaRose.  Frank LaRose only received 30% of the vote among the Ohio State GOP Central Committee, whereas Bernie Moreno received 70%.  Remember the story about Sheriff Jones, who went on a personal vendetta against State Rep Thomas Hall? It looked like the young man was done in politics because the powerful sheriff targeted him for destruction, along with several other people as well.  Thomas received 100% of the vote.  But when it came time to endorse the sheriff, he did not come highly recommended, which is a direct result of his activism against the very popular Butler County auditor Roger Reynolds, whom the sheriff falsely prosecuted for purely political power-playing reasons.  At this last meeting, according to those there, the Sheriff was very upset about his weak vote and decided to pull his name from the endorsement process.  I recently had a pleasant conversation with Sheriff Jones about his new car in the parking lot of an event we were both at.  It was a nice car.  We also joked about our hats because we both wear cowboy hats in public.  And we kept the conversation light.  The vice mayor of Hamilton, Ohio, was there, and the meeting was a “lofty” occasion.  I may like the Sheriff personally, but he has not shown himself to be a Republican these last few years since Trump left the White House.  And that exploded at this recent Central Committee meeting.  Without a full-throated endorsement, he decided he was done with the whole political party endorsement process and didn’t need it.  After all, who was going to run against him?  As angry as he was, who else could he blame?  He was using the political party to strong-arm the Central Committee for years, and finally, they stood up to him, and he didn’t like it.  But it was based on his actions, not theirs.  It’s in subtle ways like that which politics is changing all across America, and many have not yet figured out just what kind of impact that will have.  Which I say will be dramatic. 

People are tired of corruption in politics, and many good people have joined the Central Committees in their communities to help root it out.  For too long, powerful political characters and their donor backing imposed their will on Central Committee members without much respect.  But that has changed.  Central Committee members in Ohio endorsed President Trump in these same meetings, so the trend is moving in an obvious direction.  And if I had to bet money on it, I would say that all this has the attention of Jack Smith’s case in Washington, D.C.  He knows his case is going nowhere and now he’s looking to shift the blame to the Supreme Court by accelerating the trial for insurrection.  The goal was to prevent Central Committee members from endorsing Trump ahead of the primaries coming up.  But now that Trump is so far out early, these court cases won’t do what they were intended, so Smith is looking to get out of it and place the blame on the high court to protect his reputation.  I’m also sure that there is a way for Sheriff Jones to get back into everyone’s good graces.  He was good in Butler County when Trump was in the White House for the first time.  And now that Trump is running again, the Sheriff can get behind that effort and people can come together again.  But the days of forcing big labor RINOs who would otherwise be Democrats if they ran anywhere else are over.  Central Committees are doing their jobs, not just rubber-stamping some of these political candidates.  And when they do wrong, such as Sara Carruthers has, they endorse alternatives, which is about time and a sign of good things to come.

The Government is Not in Charge: 2024 is all about rebellion against overbearing parents

I have been quoting from the book Behold a Pale Horse a lot more lately for a lot of reasons.  For one, after reading the recent book, The Wuhan Cover-Up, it is obvious that many of the predictions Bill Cooper talked about are true, much more true than anybody would have wanted to believe in the 90s.  The second thing is that a breakthrough that has never happened before, a central media distribution outlet run by one of the world’s wealthiest people, has reinstated Alex Jones to the world of media, now as a mainstreamer.  This is a massive achievement and one that very few people saw coming.  Alex Jones, similar to Bill Cooper, identified threats to the system of government that we have been dealing with for many years.  Cooper was killed in a gunfight on his front porch.  Alex Jones has been killed socially in as many ways as a person can be.  Yet, he has risen again through Elon Musk’s efforts, which I think is completely out of self-interest.  Yet, it is genuine and should be an answer to everyone wondering what comes next.  The other is that Bill Cooper had a brilliant commentary in his book Beyond a Pale Horse that describes the current time very well: that all people grow up to become adults.  As rebellious teenagers, they think they know it all, but by the time they start paying for their own things, a car payment, a house, or giving birth to children, the pressure of those experiences takes most people back to a desire they had as kids for a parental figure.  So they seek a parental figure in government, and they vote accordingly.  These government types have fallen in love with their role as parents rather than representatives, and we have the world we see today.

I am not the kind of person who has ever looked to the government for a parental role.  I have always been the kind of person that many parents hated.  All my friends and girlfriends’ parents growing up hated me.  I mean, they absolutely hated me.  I didn’t do drugs or cuss; I always worked and had jobs, I read books, I did all the things that you’d think people would relish.  But when parents found out that their kids were hanging around with me, which is true in adulthood, they also freaked out.  “Don’t waste your time around Rich Hoffman, he’s a killer; he gets in fights all the time, and he’s dangerous!”  All those things were true, but the perspective was wrong, and I became so used to it that nothing that authority figures have done surprises me because essentially, it all boils down to that little quirk that people have which Bill Cooper identified in people, their lack of confidence in themselves to stand up to overbearing parents who move into government positions so that they can have control over people because they are power hungry tyrants that didn’t get enough satisfaction in such a role when they were parents.  It was so bad for me that many of these tyrant types would prefer people like Bill Cooper and Alex Jones into the media world as conspiracy figures because they at least showed some form of acceptance of parental role models in their lives. Bill was a Navy guy, and Jones was at least a good son.  So when authority figures assess such people and how to deal with them, at least those guys showed signs of being tempered socially if things spiraled out of control, which they eventually did. 

Glenn Beck, of course, has well-known problems; he was a drug addict for several years and reformed himself into the radio host he is today, which is very popular.  And when I heard him recently wondering if the government would even allow us to have an election in 2024, he was speaking from that same role of a child wondering if their parents would let them spend the night at little Jimmy’s place if only he ate his oatmeal.  And I shook my head because millions of people were concerned that the government would take away President Trump again and that the big nasty people at the World Economic Forum might release a new virus to evoke the Great Reset part II.  So let me tell you the dangerous part out loud, that few people in the world understand for all kinds of psychological reasons and something I’ve been telling people for more than 50 years.  Humanity is growing up.  Elon Musk is growing up, which is reflected in his decisions when running his companies.  President Trump grew up from a compliant child who listened to his father to overtake him, and now he wants to bring that same mentality to the government to free people of the dependent nature of a child complaining about an overbearing parent in government.  Our Constitution was written assuming that we didn’t want to spend our lives as groveling children listening to their dominating, worthless parents.  I used to say to kids when I was growing up, about their parents, “do you want to grow up and be like those losers, afraid of everything, fat, slow-minded, filled with fear?”  Or do you want to be your own person?  For that, I was the most hated person on earth, and I learned to like it. 

The government, no government, is in control of us.  We are free people and will decide what we do or don’t do.  Not some parental government.  And that is what 2024 is all about.  Read it.  Think about it.  And watch what happens.  This is a time of graduating from high school and moving out of our parent’s house to live on our own.  To take responsibility for our own lives.  And to be all that we want to be without nosy parents sticking their fearful attributes into our freedom-loving minds.  We are not victims of their stupidity; we are in charge and have a right to be.  I am essentially doing today what I have done all my life: encourage people not to become their stupid parents.  But to be free and live their own lives in their own way.  Don’t listen to your timid governments.  Rebel, live free, and become the subject of your dreams instead of just another fearful adult who got a taste of life and responsibility and cleaved to move back in with your parents for security.  Most of the world has moved back in with their parents, and as they move into their thirties and forties, they try to, but their parents are old and no longer able to give them that childhood security.  So, they turn to the government as the new parental figure.  But guess what, those idiots aren’t in charge, they don’t have any real power.  And they won’t be able to stop what’s coming.  Do you know why?  Because their power only comes from the timid children.  Once the children figure out how much power they have all along, then rebellion is inevitable.  And that is precisely what the political situation will be going into in 2024.  And there is nothing the parents in government can do to stop it.  Only timid children wonder if mom and dad’s government will get mad at them if they don’t arrive home by curfew and eat all their soup.
