Judge Merchan Must Be Punished: We can’t have lawfare in our system of justice

When Judge Juan Merchan decided to sentence President Trump over the ridiculous business-related charges in New York, he was making some admissions that were uncomfortable for mass society to make.  That was only reiterated in the documents released in the final days of Jack Smith, the outgoing prosecutor for the DOJ who personally tried to lure Trump into a jury in a profoundly blue area and snag a conviction for a crime that they clearly understood could only be interpreted regionally, rather than culturally.  Marxism had become so prevalent in neighborhoods like D.C. and New York City that it was impossible to get an impartial jury of our peers in modern society, and at the heart of that was a prosecution scam that understood that they could use lawfare to destroy political rivals.  And they were willing to use it.  In both cases, the one with Jack Smith and Judge Merchan, the election of 2024 took away from them that power because people put President Trump back in office anyway.  And in so many ways, the human race grew up a bit and outpaced the regional confines of the small-minded and power-hungry.  And when Judge Merchan spoke to Trump, it was almost a plea to respect the system for which they had abused so much power so needlessly and to ask for mercy.  This resulted in a no sentencing outcome which was highly unusual.  A plea to respect the law and judgments of a jury of Trump’s peers when, in truth, the jury pool had been contaminated with Marxist movements and social tampering in a way that made Trump have nothing in common with his peers because it had become a system meant to fight against capitalism, and this was a business case against one of the world’s wealthiest people. Merchan and Jack Smith intended to pit against Trump the jealous, down-and-out, and scandal-driven to take revenge on all those who were doing better than the jury at life. They had made the legal system a retribution for the obvious laziness of that jury of peers. 

With some insider knowledge, I understand how these prosecutions can go bad.  I live in a very nice community with great police and prosecutors.  Even better, a jury of my peers in Butler County, Ohio, has more in common than in deep blue voting blocks like New York, Los Angeles, or San Francisco.  When we set up our legal system, human beings were supposed to at least have enough in common to serve as a jury of their peers.  That common attribute might be a relationship with the Bible.  Or a love of a sporting event.  Family ties.  Something.  But what has often happened, and the various legal circles are very aware of this, is that people have less in common now than they ever have, and it has almost nothing to do with money.  There have been power groups who have exploited the weak and lazy toward gifts that only a government with the ability to confiscate wealth could distribute to them for unearned benefit.  And for those who might otherwise choose to be thieves in the world and rob the rich so that they don’t have to work themselves, a new kind of victimization politics has emerged.  Once the power structure had their advocates looking for easy money and to be the ground troops for their movement, they could taint these juries with left-leaning losers more concerned with taking the whole system down rather than seeking justice.  And that was what Judge Merchan and Jack Smith were caught doing, and it blew up in their faces.

In 2024, I was the foreman for a grand jury in my community, and it was a very eye-opening experience.  I got to know some of our local prosecutors very well and learned that they were not like Jack Smith or Judge Merchan as these Trump cases were in the news every day, and it wasn’t so clear what Trump’s future would be as a result.  When I served on the grand jury, the odds that Trump would win the election seemed very remote, almost like a fantasy that had no hope of ever coming true.  But I saw firsthand where opportunities to corrupt the jury and manipulate the court system could quickly have happened.  I was able to tour our local jail system and meet some inmates, and I thought about Trump a lot during all this time.  This system of justice, if it had people any less value-driven, could quickly put innocent people in jail and destroy their lives with lawfare.  Always in the background do we need to make sure we have a healthy society that can function from things they have in common, rather than specify the things they are different from each other and that power politics would use those differences to gain political power for themselves by using innocent people as the means and method.  We must always use common ground to base our society, which is a challenge at the heart of a thriving civilization.  That is not what Judge Merchan or Jack Smith was up to in prosecuting Trump, and they never thought that people would unite behind an effort to elect Trump back to the high office because they felt they had control of the system at the most fundamental level, and that they were the rulers of society.

Knowing all that, there is no choice but to turn the tables on Judge Juan Merchan and all the prosecution attempts against Trump from 2023 through 2024.  They tried to destroy our political order through lawfare, something they always knew was in their back pocket of power and gave them the smug impression that they were ultimately in charge.  And they knowingly abused their power.  I have always wondered about this, but until my personal experience on a grand jury, I wasn’t sure if the system could be so easily abused.  And the answer is that it can be.  And obviously, it is often.  What Judge Merchan did was what we can’t have legal people doing in a healthy society.  Merchan wasn’t standing for law and order.  He was using disorder to manipulate the law so that political power could use victimization politics to establish an order of overthrow against a system he didn’t like.  By exploiting the stupid, the broke, the lawless, putting them on a jury, and calling them peers of the healthy, wealthy, and wise, a knowing war of personalities was fused with purposeful intent to overthrow our entire system of government.  And we can’t forgive that.  Because they got caught, Trump’s DOJ will have no choice but to prosecute these prosecutors for their abuse of the law and the willing exploitation of people used like chess pieces to overthrow our entire established order and to call it justice mockingly.  We came very close to never having a fair election in America again, but only because we did was this escapade exploited for the crime that it was.  And we can’t forget what happened; we must send a strong message to the future that such behavior is inappropriate.  Judge Merchan and many others must be punished as much as possible so that others will never think of attempting such a thing again for fear of what might happen to them.

Good Leaders Don’t Share the Spotlight: What Elon Musk means by a Direct Democracy on Mars

I understood what Elon Musk meant when he expressed that a government on Mars should be a Direct Democracy as opposed to what we have in the United States, a Representative Republic.  Many people took that as a knock against our current form of government, which many would consider the best in the world.  But I think the point of the matter is to regulate what you want the government to do.  I would say that in America, we just voted for a strong CEO type, and coming from the wealthiest man in the world who runs a lot of companies, of course, that would be his recommendation.  When we set up a government on Mars, we should give people the right to vote for a strong CEO type of leader.  Not a government with checks and balances that are meant to keep the brakes on government activism by making it hard to pass things that can slow down your society.  A mature government in a fully functioning country will have different needs than a remote colony of struggling adventurers, so context is everything.   But it’s important to consider how leadership is advanced or suppressed in a culture, depending on the kind of government you want to have.  Personally, I get asked at least two or three times a week when I am going to run for elected office, and my reply is always that I don’t have the tolerance for all that hand-holding.  Politicians have to be patient and need to serve the task at hand.  Where I am a very imposing person.  I expect people to do things my way or to take the highway.  I am not very interested in people who don’t do what I tell them.  And I certainly am not a group consensus kind of facilitator.  Elected office would be very frustrating because it involves too much working with other people to get anything done. 

I certainly understand the need for a time and place to give everyone a seat at the table.  In my own family, I get very frustrated in trying to get anybody to agree on anything when we coordinate events together.  There is always somebody working, there is always someone sick, there is always someone who wants to do something else.  And when it comes to those things and community events, I tend to sit on my temper and let everyone talk until they figure it out.  At those times, I sit back and sit on my hands and wait for everyone to get their minds right.  It drives me crazy, but its what you have to do sometimes when the people you are working with want to think they are all equally able to express an opinion and desire for an outcome.  Our representative government in America is good because it only gives it limited powers to do the bare minimum.  However, innovation and exceptional output come from individual leaders who are very strong-willed and can put people on their backs and take them to the promised land.  That’s the kind of thing I’m interested in.  That is undoubtedly what America voted for in putting Trump back in the White House.  We didn’t vote for a continued bureaucracy of three branches of government checking each other’s power.  As  a strong CEO, we want Trump to impose his will on the executive branch and make everyone else see things his way.  Which is the way we voted for.  That is the kind of thing that Elon Musk is talking about setting up on Mars.  I would say he’s new to this kind of thinking and has the right idea.  But as to government, you don’t want your leadership on Mars to come from the government.  You want a bunch of innovative CEOs competing with each other to drive culture forward.  You want just enough representative government to keep the power and water supply flowing.  The basic infrastructure that the government can provide for a society.  But nothing more.  Our form of government was so powerful because it decentralized the concept of a king.  But in a strongly run company, a CEO is essentially a king.  So, one thing we have never quite figured out in a capitalist culture is how to have a decentralized government that empowers kings to run good companies and give people options through at-will employment.  If they don’t like one company, they can work for another.  If their king is a tyrant, they can leave and work for someone much better.  Meanwhile, the water works, the power runs, and the basic infrastructure needs of society are handled by a government just powerful enough to do so but not so powerful that it takes over everything. 

I fall asleep with all the consensus-building that has been imposed on us by collectivist-based philosophies because they were never going to work.  I’m glad people are doing those jobs for school boards, trustees, and commissioners.  But I am only ever happy when I can point at someone and tell them to do a task.  They perform the task, and everyone celebrates victory.  Rule by Consensus is an academic fantasy by the fans of Karl Marx.  It’s as practical as unicorns and dragons from fantasy and has no business being discussed along with leadership concepts.  Human beings follow strong leaders.  Elon Musk, the world’s richest person, knows through experience what a good leader looks like.  And when traveling to other planets and setting up civilization there, strong leaders will be necessary.  Stalled government concepts will only slow down progress. 

When we talk about why we can’t do things anymore, and everything costs so much money, it’s because our government approach has been wrong.  When we try to build a bridge or a highway, if we look to the past, there was always some strong personality type that was able to wrestle all the alligators and make boots out of them.  This is opposed to the consensus-building approach, in which everyone treats the effort like an Alcoholics Anonymous session.  That approach costs money and time and seldom ever gets anything done.  And I have never been interested in those interactions with other people.  And people who are good leaders check out and do something else.  If you want success in a society, you have to give a means to firm leadership to work their magic.  We didn’t elect Trump to get along with other people.  We elected him to impose his will that we voted for.  He told us what he wanted to do, and we empowered him to do it.  That is what Elon Musk is talking about for Mars and space travel in general.  You never want the government to have too much power.  Our current Representative Republic keeps elected officials talking while the real leaders of the world run companies that employ people for everyone’s best interests.  We don’t look to the government to provide that leadership level, and we never should.  Even though we admire people like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Ronald Reagan, they are exceptions to the rule of a government that needs to have its power regulated and stalled so that a centralized authority doesn’t encumber authentic leadership.  And that is a trick we are still working out on earth.  We see good examples here and there; Elon Musk is undoubtedly one of them.  Trump has always been a successful and influential CEO.  But he doesn’t share the spotlight with anybody.  He has always been the top dog in all his endeavors.  And people dealing with him know it.  I’ve never seen authentic leadership share the spotlight of authority and work.  Rule by committee does not work.  Only strong leadership by influential personalities works.  Typically, those are not the people you want running the government.  You want them out there making money and employing people so that society has options and innovation to build from.

Elon Musk the Reporter: Free speech will destroy tryanny every time

I figured it out long ago, and Elon Musk can now do it at a much larger level.  Free speech and citizen journalism are tremendously powerful tools and are the key ingredients to a prosperous society.  If left alone, in most cases, people in collective masses become corrupt and dangerous.  So all this anger toward Elon Musk is understandable, for the way he expressed himself during the budget battle in Congress over the continuing resolution that started at over 1500 pages and ended up being just a few hundred by the time it was all said and done.  I explained to everyone that this was how D.O.G.E. would be effective.  They didn’t need to have an office somewhere where they stamped approval in some bureaucratic way, like everything else in government.  No, D.O.G.E. initiated by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy would be more like reporters, doing the job the media should have been doing all along.  And because Musk bought Twitter and turned it from a three-lettered mind control device into a platform of free speech where he has over 200 million direct followers, a lot of this has caught the radical left and deep state establishment figures off guard.  No, they will not be able to control any of this.  They lost their power long ago and were only propped up by legacy media looking to do their dirty work.  But free speech was always the key to our personal Constitution in the United States, and it has been the killer of globalism for many decades now.  All people needed to do was figure out how powerful their opinions were.  This is why I put so much work into my own efforts; it has worked for many years and made things better where they otherwise would languish in obscurity. 

I used to participate in a lot of media, write for newspapers, and appear on television.  I did a lot of radio.  I was even in a few movies.  So, I understand the entertainment culture and news broadcasting that most people use to interact with information very well.  I am that guy who used to show up and give speeches at public gatherings, especially at school boards.  And there was just something wrong with speaking to people who gave you only 3 minutes to speak.  Newspapers would only give me 250 words to make my point.  Radio would only put you on for around a 15-minute segment.  Millions of people heard it, but the information was often lost to people before the next segment started.  I learned a long time ago because I saw how things were cooking in the kitchen, and letting the bad guys determine how long you speak in public and how much you could write regarding news and opinion was wrong.  And it kept people from speaking freely to other people.  So, I gradually started my own blog site and launched this news and opinion effort that has been very effective for over fifteen years.  I learned what worked and didn’t, and I gradually stopped appearing on other people’s radio and television shows and just started doing my own where I could write as much as I wanted and say as much as I desired about anything and everything under the sun.  If you didn’t care about making money that other people would pay you for the work, then freedom would become the primary currency, and people would get different perspectives from what they previously didn’t have. 

When Elon Musk bought Twitter and converted himself out of political necessity away from a left-of-center globalist to a MAGA Republican who has been accused of either being one of Trump’s kids because they have become so close after the election of 2024 or the president himself, Musk bought a free speech platform that had been used to shape public opinion and turned it into something that reflected what people actually thought.  And what tyranny cannot live up to is public scrutiny.  So, in many ways, Elon Musk became much more potent than any figure on planet Earth, including the President of the United States, because he could evoke what people thought about something instead of limiting what they could see and hear in a way to push them into a thought process that reflected the values of institutionalism.  It was never going to work.  The crazy authority figures of the world should have known better and learned their hard lessons from the Berlin Wall and the many control mechanisms they have in China.  Free expression is a powerful weapon, which is why it’s the first of the Bill of Rights in the American Constitution.  And if you are Elon Musk thinking about how to have governments functioning properly on faraway planets so human civilization can thrive, we must solve this problem once and for all here on Earth, here and now.   We can’t allow tyrants to rule through limited knowledge and control over opinion.  And that’s how these crazy, debt-ridden CRs have been passed by our government for years.  They are full of garbage that nobody knows about and sold to the public with a gun to the head, saying essentially, “Pass this bill to get funding for cancer research by ignoring the funding of bio labs in Ukraine and all kinds of other dangerous stuff that the lobbyists have stuffed in there with goodies and corruption galore.” 

The power Elon Musk used in December of 2024 was not the power of a president or a government insider.  It was the power of opinion, and he was using free speech in the way it was designed to educate the public and let them make decisions about things themselves.  And for all that, the Beltway culture withered in pain over the CR debate.  And people haven’t seen anything yet for all the pain it caused.  This is precisely how D.O.G.E. is going to work.  It won’t be from policymakers and long meetings with peer review that government reform will be done.  It will report what is happening and build public pressure to reform through free speech.  I can report on this matter from my personal experience.  There is nothing that any of the bad guys can do about it.  They won’t be able to stand up to it, and they won’t be able to stop it.  Short of turning to violence themselves, which I have had to deal with myself on many occasions.  Once they realize that violence won’t get them what they want, it will make it much worse for them, and they will become very frustrated with the results, much like the way many reacted to Elon Musk during the CR negotiations in 2024.  Musk doesn’t need to be president.  All he needs to do is allow people to have an opinion on something and give them things to think about through his X social media platform.  So what happens next will be bewildering to many people.  But there is nothing they can do to stop it.  Free speech is the check on power that it was designed to be.  Unfortunately, in years past, too much free speech was controlled through various corporate controls directly connected to the political structure.  And that allowed bad guys to do bad things.  Well, not any longer.  That is why 2025 will differ significantly from any other historical period.  The debate over the 2024 continued resolution for congressional spending hasn’t seen anything yet.  And it’s about time!

The Greatest Sin of All: God does not want low ambition, weak, people, he wants Heaven on Earth and warriors to defend it

The greatest sin of all mankind, I think, is choosing to be a loser and a meek participant in the world around you.  This was a topic of conversation during dinner recently. It was a Christmas gathering of brilliant and religious people. Of course, the topic of Trump came up and why God had picked him out of all people to save the world.  Because what is happening is nothing short of revolutionary, and there is a science to it. If you read the Bible carefully and free yourself of the many human interpretations of it that necessitate worldly politics in convincing people to be sheep and to flock to the shepherds of government for the global control of mass social movements, you’ll see that there is more to our usual thoughts on the matter.  I argue often, and I did at that dinner for a lengthy diatribe about biblical understanding that my take on God is that he wants and despises meek losers who grovel at a sacrificial monument and strive to cover their nakedness.  Of course, that point of view gets a lot of looks and even provokes anger.  Sometimes, a lot of anger.  But that wouldn’t make any of it any less accurate, and I explained why God picked Trump to save the world.  And it had nothing to do with being a good boy who followed the Ten Commandments, went to church every Sunday, and obeyed all the church rules of worship to earthly terrestrial figures.  No, it is because Donald Trump, the current President, and who has been for many years now psychologically dared to be something that few in the history of the world have had the guts to be, and that is to rise to the greatness of Heaven that God always intended for the humans he created.  And because Trump dared to rise above the station of humanity and its meekness, he has been rewarded in many ways and put in place to do all the great things we are now seeing. 

When God asked for Adam in the Garden, he couldn’t find him because his first man hid in the woods to cover his nakedness. God asked him why.  “How do you know you’re naked, Adam? Who told you thus?”  After some coaxing, Adam blamed it on Eve, his woman, and revealed that the lowly serpent had tricked them into eating from the knowledge of good and evil.  And that they were no longer qualified to reside in the Heavenly garden, and the cherubim cast them out and prevented them from returning.  The same cherubim  atop the Ark of the Covenant kept ordinary people from gazing into it to read the Ten Commandments for themselves.  The use of fear to keep ordinary people from seeing reality is a common theme in the Bible, and it’s not for God as if the rules were intended to be followed, but that they were designed to provoke in humanity a lofty disposition toward the preservation of Heaven on Earth as God created it.  These problems would arise again throughout the Bible but would most culminate in what I consider to be the two biggest sins noted in the Bible: the failures of King David and his son, King Solomon.  Even after all that God did to forgive them and prop them up with riches and power on earth, they both fell short because of their insecurity with women and did not live up to the lofty goals God intended for them.  Israel would never rise again to its former glory because God punished his chosen people for their meekness, the greatest sin that there is.

In King David’s condition, it was when he plotted to kill the husband of a woman he was watching bath, and he wanted her for herself, Bathsheba.  David had many wives and could have had any woman he wanted.  But he wanted this one who was married to a military man whom David had control over.  So David plotted his death to marry the woman, and all kinds of problems arose because of this scheme.  God wasn’t happy and decided that David wasn’t qualified to build a temple on earth to represent Heaven’s presence, so he left it to David’s son, Solomon.  King Solomon had wisdom, women, and wealth; God put it all at his feet.  But Solomon found maintaining all his wives difficult, and he built temples for their crazy gods, too.  And it upset God, Yahweh, so much so that God told Solomon that his kingdom would end with his death and be split in two by his sons.  And that Israel would never recover, which it never has.  But the sin was not so much in following God’s instructions, just as Moses had to be pushed into doing his great deed of freeing the Jewish people from slavery in Egypt only to stagger in front of the giants of Canaan because they doubted that God would give them a victory over such a terrible foe.  So they were punished with 40 years in the wilderness for doubting in themselves that God would grant them protection.  For that doubt, they were punished.  So, we see the trend in the Bible that God expects his chosen people to rise above and push forward and not fail to meekness. 

When Jesus said upon the cross, “My god, my God, why have you forsaken me,” many interpret that as the fulfillment of an ancient prophecy.  But it’s just another abandonment of God of those he put his hand on who fell short in life and did not rise to the occasion and stand against the tide of evil.  It was the meek who interpreted the act as a sacrifice to wash away the sins of humanity, when in truth, God was always God, and he wanted to defeat his foes in the world who were trying to destroy his concepts of Heaven on Earth and that humans would be his direct representatives in this dimensional reality.  And yes, of course, I get a lot of nasty looks when I say this, and I certainly did at that dinner.  That kind of talk rocks the foundation of everything people want to believe about their relationship with God.  But with Trump, he didn’t back down and surrender his ego to meekness.  And no matter how much the world persecuted him, he kept fighting and never surrendered himself to the naked truth of existence.  Trump didn’t hide behind a tree.  It might have taken him three wives to figure it out, but he learned not to look out the window and plot the death of other women’s husbands.  There are better things to do.  And he didn’t let a woman distract him from the pursuit of building Heaven on Earth.  Through his companies, Trump has tried to develop his idea of Heaven in all his buildings and golf courses with an elevated sense of human accomplishment.  And when an assassin’s bullet missed as it did in July of 2024, God spared Trump by the literal grace of God.  When Trump was put before his version of Pontius Pilate, he didn’t say, “You have said so, that I am the son of God, the Messiah.”  Instead, Trump said, “Yeah, so what of it? I’m your president, and I’m coming for you next.”  And finally, God had someone who wouldn’t hide his nakedness in the Garden.  And wouldn’t blame women for his shortcomings.  And he endeavored to elevate himself above the standard, meek and weak, and to lead others to their lofty exploits.  And to the way I look at things, God was finally happy with someone who dared to trust that God had his back and would behave with divine understanding.  And would not hesitate to attack the Land of Canaan, filled with ancient giants that far outnumbered them.  Trump gets it, and God is happy about it.  And that happiness we are all feeling after this 2024 election.  That’s what I said anyway, and all my dinner guests got up and left and refused to speak to me for the heresy.  But deep down inside, they all know I’m right.  So I paid the check and went back to my books.  Truth isn’t what we want it to be; it is what it is.  In this case, it requires audaciousness, which God wants, to be seen.  Based on a straightforward reading of the biblical text, the greatest sin in the world is in striving to be a loser when God tried to inspire humans to greatness, to be representatives of Heaven on Earth.  And it takes a lot of courage to do so.

The Biden Crime Family: Rudy Guiliani wrote the book, now we must have the courage to prosecute

I’ve always been a big fan of Rudy Guiliani, and I took what was done to him after the Trump coup in 2020 with massive, government-sponsored election fraud and sought to personally destroy him in every way, shape, and form as a very personal attack.  Rudy is one of the best law enforcement officers we have seen in this country, America.  He is much bigger of a figure than Elliot Ness, who took on Al Capone and the Chicago mob.  In New York, Rudy Guiliani took on all the big crime syndicates in the 80s when it was tough to do so.  They were bleeding the city dry, and Rudy came along and cleaned it up, especially going after the Gambino crime family.  Rudy knew what organized crime was and knew it early on with Joe Biden, which all turned out to be true.  Rudy was the first one to get his hands on the Biden Laptop from Hell, and he was all over the election fraud from 2020, at a time when no lawyers in the country dared to come to Trump’s defense.  Rudy was there, and his fight for justice has cost him dearly, as the BAR has taken away his law license for defending Trump, bankrupted him in court for questioning election fraud, and destroyed a reputation it took a lifetime of good work to build.  Over the last four years, they have left Rudy Guiliani, the great crime-fighting mayor, destroyed in every way except the one that counts most.  They have not destroyed his spirit.  Instead, Rudy, under a vicious attack from government mobsters, sat down and wrote a book about why the Biden crime family should be prosecuted, and he played it all out for any court of law to get their minds around.  And the book came out just before the 2024 election, at the end of October.

The book was published by WarRoom Books, which is Steve Bannon’s group that runs the very famous podcast, and I would recommend it to anyone.  It’s called The Biden Crime Family: A Blueprint for Their Prosecution, and it’s a good read that is important for our times.  My first statement about the book and why I got it was to put some money back in Rudy’s pocket.  He more than deserves it.  He was nearly destroyed trying to do the right thing.  I’ve spent many hours explaining to people why and how the mob elements of our society moved into government, and this case against Rudy is more than just political activism.  It’s revenge because Rudy was successful in putting away crime families.  The Biden’s know the type of people they have feared most, so using government power stolen through massive election fraud, they went after one of their enemies that was most threatening to them, and they sought to utterly destroy him and Trump.  And anybody connected to Trump directly or indirectly.  And just to rewind the tape, that was the case up to the assassination attempt of Trump in Pennsylvania during the summer of 2024.  When the bullet missed Trump, the country rallied behind him, and the tables suddenly turned in a different direction.  By then, this book was written.  Trump won the election.  Many people are inclined to let Biden go off into a corner and hide from the world for the rest of his life, which is about five more minutes based on how he looks and acts.  Most people have a sentiment to move on from the nightmare that was the Biden administration and the Democrats who ran him in the background, like Barack Obama.  Americans tend to live and let live.  But I would caution against that action because the Biden crime family committed significant crimes, and they have to be punished. 

The crimes were influence peddling, and many people in government still do it.  Biden started selling off influence using his family as a broker when he was a senator.  He was the check valve for the Obama radical that Democrats used to keep the system intact at the time.  But most of those in government at that time and some in the present have been selling influence to those willing to buy it essentially since the start of our republic.  And the Biden crime family has been one of the worst, operating essentially the same way crime syndicates did.  And the evidence is all over the Biden laptop, which the FBI purposefully kept from the public, just as they did Anthony Wiener’s laptop and all the deleted emails of Hillary Clinton.  When organized crime moves into your government positions, you have a big problem, and we certainly did.  Joe Biden, with his son Hunter, sold direct influence to foreign actors while he was Vice President.  That went on while he was president, and the family used Joe as their primary revenue stream.  People worldwide would essentially pay for access to the White House, which went on for more than 12 years.  But that’s not all.  In Rudy’s book, he chronicles what the Biden family knows about Joe Biden’s diagnosed dementia, which is a significant security risk.  But through their fear of losing their money racket of influence peddling, they have tried to keep that from the public, which is a serious case of elder abuse.  The knowing mistreatment of an old man and concealing the condition from the public to avoid questions of security compromises is highly illegal and very serious stuff.

And we can’t forget what was done; we certainly can’t forgive.  We might want to move on, but this criminal government tried hard to destroy anybody who stood in their way, especially Rudy Guiliani.  And they can’t be allowed to get away with it.  Rudy deserves to have his reputation completely restored; he needs to be able to practice law unrestricted, and the Biden crime family needs to be punished as an example for others doing the same thing.  The lack of desire to avenge the Biden family is because most other politicians around Joe Biden are doing the same thing.  How else could they have become wealthy while their primary income was in public office?  It has been a dirty game.  We are cleaning it up with a freshly elected Trump administration that has earned the right to reform this criminal-oriented government completely.  But we can’t go soft on the old man because he was just the figurehead.  There are a lot of characters in the background who used Joe Biden to do their dirty work, and they need to pay for their crimes.  To live in a law and order society, you must punish criminal activity aggressively.  And there is no bigger target presently than the Biden crime family.  Many evil people are watching and seeing what we do about it now that we know.  Rudy wrote out the case with great clarity in his book for more reasons than well-deserved revenge for all that has been done to him.  It’s out of a sense of justice that he wrote that book.  And one that people should read and act on so that it never happens again.

Why Trump Won: Brand building is the key to establishing and maintaining relationships

So many important lessons can be learned from the Trump election of 2024.  But, the reason Trump won has yet to be talked about much.  The assumption is that Elon Musk came in at the last minute, after the assassination attempt in July, and put many millions of dollars into Trump’s campaign as the world’s richest man.  But to assume that, you would have to believe that money wins elections and that those who raise the most money and spend it will win the election.  Of course, the media, which sells ads and makes its money off politics during elections, wants everyone to think that.  But it wasn’t true.  Kamala Harris spent on her 2024 campaign 1.5 billion dollars and ended up, at the end of it, millions of dollars in debt.  She spent more than she had, which was a lot.  Who in their right mind gave her money who had that kind of money?  I could have told them they were wasting their time.  Wait, come to think of it, I did tell them.  But they didn’t listen.  Reports say that Trump spent much less than that, hovering around the 1 billion dollar mark, which is what many think it takes to run for president these days, but I’m not even sure that is the case.  But the bottom line is that Kamala spent a lot of money and didn’t move the needle in any kind of positive direction.  So why?  That’s the most critical question.  If Trump and Kamala spent even more money, why did the money spent work more for one, not the other?  So you can’t say that Elon Musk bought Trump the election, that would not be accurate. Instead, something much more important happened, and Trump did a masterful job at it, as we would all expect. 

A person’s brand is one of the most essential attributes of their personality; it’s how people come to know you and what they think of you when you aren’t around them anymore.  In everything you do in life, you must build your brand and use it to gain cooperation from your peers.  I have a very strong brand presence on many fronts.  For instance, I was having a fancy dinner with many people with strong opinions about my brand.  We were all ordering dessert, and the people with us at this dinner were from all over the world.  So I ordered a cake with many special effects to demonstrate how extraordinary the desserts were at this dinner and encourage our guests to be a little daring.  After all, I figured my brand was so good that I could handle a little wildness.  So I ordered a special cake, which came out with dry ice spewing everywhere. A tree made of cotton candy came out on top of it.  Those combinations of things made my dinner guests laugh because of the contrasts.  They were not very “manly” things to do and seemed like something they would never expect coming from me.  But that’s also why the Trump Dance works for Trump at rallies; it contrasts his tough guy image.  That image is his brand, and it’s how people learn the nature of the values of the advocate.  Without a brand image to maintain, my ordering the cake and the reaction to it would have just been about food.  But I made it into something else to advance why we were having the dinner together in the first place, as a team-building event that people would not soon forget. 

Trump has been one of the best in the world at building and applying brands.  His family name, Trump, is recognized worldwide and establishes quality and luxury for those who see it.  Trump built the brand over a long period and, about ten years ago, decided to use it to put America on its back and to Make America Great Again.  When people saw the Trump Brand anywhere in the 80s and 90s, they think of wealth and luxury, which is a way for Trump to take The Power of Positive Thinking and apply it to wealth generation.  So when Trump decided to run for office in 2015, he just brought his brand with him and beat Hillary Clinton based on the strength of his brand, as he spent a fraction of the money most campaigns would to win such a high office.  When he disrupted the system and everyone in the world came after him, Trump used his brand to rise above the critics in a way only his extensive, positive brand would have allowed.  Like my story about the cake, if you have a strong brand, you can provoke much action that either supports or contrasts it.  For my dinner guests, expecting an uncompromising gunslinger to shoot anybody who does injustice is a sharp contrast to sitting there eating a chocolate cake with pink cotton candy all over the top.  Showing such a moment of comparison within my brand earns trust because it contrasts my customary behavior.  But without the brand, there wouldn’t be any opinions or jokes to evolve a dialogue of trust that was needed for such a moment.  On a much larger scale, Trump used his brand to carry the lofty goal of Making America Great Again into a value system people felt they could invest in.  And they did.

One of my favorite campaign items from the 2024 election is a Trump 2024 switchblade.  I obtained it under unusual conditions, and it was undoubtedly one of the best souvenirs of Trump I had ever seen during the election.  Trump’s name was on everything, from knives to hats to shirts, flags, glasses, anything and everything.  And that was because Trump had built a brand that gave value to obtaining those items.  That Trump knife would be just another knife if it didn’t have Trump 2024 written on it.  On the other hand, Kamala spent a lot more money trying to create an impression, but her brand didn’t have roots in which people could invest.  So, as she tried to make an impression on voters, she did not have a brand that people could understand and invest in.  Nobody was rushing out to buy a Harris hat or shirt.  But people were flocking to buy a Trump hat.  They couldn’t make enough of them.  And in the end, that is what ended up mattering most.  Even though Elon Musk spent hundreds of millions of dollars on the MAGA movement and Trump himself, it was Trump who built a brand worth investing in.  Without the brand, the money was tossed to the wind like drunk gamblers in a casino late at night. The brand allows people to invest in the person who built it, for better or worse.  But once you have the brand, you can use it to sell ideas to people who have enough rooting to grab on and take action.  And the Democrats, they didn’t do any of that.  They tried to create impressions but had no substance behind their brand to sell an idea.  That caused them to toss much money at the effort only to have it wasted because there was no brand worth investing in.  So the ideas that Democrats had couldn’t be sold to a public so empty that they’d buy any impression.  When it came to Trump, people bought into a brand he had built for over 4 decades, and he put it all at risk to become president.  And as a result, the brand outlasted the attempts to destroy it.  Now, with that brand value, America can do as Trump’s brand indicates: to Make America Great Again.  When people see that term, they think of quality, wealth, and tenacity.  And the nation can rally to the cause because a brand can sell the idea and sustain the results.  Rather than just creating more false impressions that people have become long weary of.  And this will be the case for politics over the coming century.  It’s not enough to spend money. Instead, the money has to have a brand that people want to invest in and make it their own.

We Have Free Elections Because of Guns: Criminals know who has them, and who doesn’t

When on Meet the Press recently, President Trump was asked why Democrats didn’t steal this election, too, as they had the one in 2020, as if to insist that his statements about that previous election were a provoking conspiracy theory.  Trump said simply that he thought the election was too big to rig this time, which is a good, honest statement.  But it’s not the rest of the story.  It’s only part of the reason why Democrats were not able to steal this 2024 election the way they had 2020, and likely, many other elections leading up to Trump’s first term in the White House.  The truth is, it’s guns that make a free society possible.  Without the threat of guns, our government, especially this last one run by Joe Biden and his gangs of thugs and criminal-driven losers, would have taken over everything.  Without a society of guns, there would be no freedom.  The bad guys would move to take over all of society and rule from fear if given even an inch of opportunity.  So, to answer the rest of the question regarding Trump’s Meet the Press interview, why didn’t Democrats steal this last election, or that they tried but couldn’t get away with it this time?  Or, why was the election too big to rig?  What kept the election too small to overcome Trump?  And that answer is guns.  A society that has high gun ownership and is willing to use them at a moment’s notice.  Guns force the government to stay somewhat honest, not because they are inclined to do so, but because they fear a public that shoots and kills them the moment they get out of control.  We cannot have honest elections without the bad guys fearing an angry public that is willing to use guns to stop their evil intentions.

I had the opportunity to host many people this past week who are not from West Chester.  They came from all over the country, and guns were in the news.  One of the news stories was the UnitedHealthcare CEO, who was gunned down in the streets of New York.  That provoked a conversation about West Chester, Ohio, considered one of the safest areas in the nation.  But there was an attempted break-in and the resident shot the perpetrator just for standing on his balcony at an apartment complex.  And the comments were, “West Chester isn’t very safe because there was just a shooting.”  And speaking from much experience, I clarified that guns were critical in both cases.  There are many criminals who would love to break in and rob people blind in Butler County, Ohio, and Mason, places criminals know have much money and lots of things to steal and innocent lives to ruin.  But they don’t because they are respectful of the law, leaving everyone alone.  No, they are bad, vicious people who would rob, rape, and murder anybody, anywhere, anytime, if they could get away with it, just as there were plenty of people who would have stolen this 2024 election if they could have gotten away with it.  But the bad guys know that fundamentally, Americans have many guns, and if they do break the law, it’s not the prosecution of those crimes that is their most significant risk; it’s surviving the crime.  And that West Chester is safe because guns provide a deterrent.  I had just returned with my guests from downtown Cincinnati, and they were talking about the news stories they had noticed upon visiting. I had driven them through some of the worst neighborhoods in the city to show them the policy contrast.  Places where there was a lot of gun ownership.  And places that had policies against guns that had allowed, by default, crime to grow in the power void. 

The killing of the  UnitedHealthcare CEO was another example.  It is foolish, no matter how civil you think society is, to walk down any street, anywhere, without a gun.  Now, in the case of  Brian Thompson, the killed CEO, he was shot in the back deliberately, and it’s hard to defend against that kind of attack.  He was just walking along the sidewalk, and he was shot unexpectedly and without warning.  He should have been more aware of his surroundings.  But part of the scouting report on making a killing like that is whether the shooter believes they will get away with the crime if they perform the task.  The shooter was not concerned that Brian Thompson would have turned around and shot back if he missed or didn’t hit his target ruthlessly.  People are not honest; you cannot have a lawless society based on trust.  To have rules, you must be able to enforce them immediately at the point of occurrence.  The court system is not fast enough to deal with all the crimes, and the criminals know it.  Too many criminals work hard to be bad people and hope to take advantage of your trust to commit crimes and enrich themselves at your expense.  It isn’t brilliant to expect otherwise.  There should always be a preparedness for violence against you by anybody.  And the best way to stop it is by carrying deadly force everywhere.  And forcing the bad guys to stay honest and to leave you alone.  If Brian Thompson had been carrying a gun and were willing to use it, he would probably be alive right now.  When the target is armed, it is much harder to shoot them for many reasons. 

That goes back to our discussion about why one region is safer and why the ratio isn’t that one place has better laws than others.  It comes down to how much gun ownership is available and to what reach people have them.   Gun-free zones are hazardous places, statistically.  The more guns you have in society, the less violence you have.  And to my point, that story about the break-in in West Chester was good.  It reminds other criminals of what they already know but makes it fresh in their minds.  That if they are just standing on someone’s balcony at an apartment complex, they could be shot and killed.  Protection of private property is the key to a civil society, and the word gets out quickly.  Don’t abuse people’s property and their sense of self-preservation.  Or they can, and will, be shot and killed.  So that news story was helpful.  Occasionally, bad guys do need to get shot to remind the hoards of other criminals that they should not break into people’s homes or inflict violence upon them in any way.  Because without guns around under the care of private citizens, criminals get pretty bold.  And that is the same regarding honest elections.  Those who would seek to steal a vote and alter the nature of a free people to pick their government will try to steal elections if they do not fear people with guns preventing them from doing it.  And that this 2024 election was too big to rig because there were too many guns from angry people who were onto the scam.  So, Democrats couldn’t get enough votes to steal this election as they had others in the past.  The limits to their power were in gun ownership, and that kept the bad guys from stealing this last election, and why we finally have President Trump going back to the White House.  We have free elections because of guns.

Jill Biden Has Eyes For Trump: What could have been if only she had the courage

For good reason, there has been a lot of talk about that picture with Jill Biden and Trump at Notre Dame.  With her daughter, Ashley Biden, sitting next to her, the camera caught a moment that Jill revealed a lot in just a look.  And wonderfully, Trump turned it into a new body fragrance ad.  But there is a lot to talk about that is essential here.  Here was Jill Biden, an older woman now, with a daughter who had been sexually abused by her father, gazing at a man who was authentic and unlike anything they had ever met; even though, as First Lady, she had met some of the world’s most brilliant and influential people.  There was nobody in her life like Trump—a conqueror who had defeated her husband in the last election.  Being close to the same age, Biden seemed so much older, whereas Trump was almost childlike, and ambitious.  That look by Jill to Trump, who was sitting next to her at the re-opening of the Notre Dame cathedral, has the kind of flirty look that a 4th-grade girl might have before her first kiss.  Many wonder why that was and what she would see in Trump to provoke such a gaze.  And is it that rare in the world for political enemies to put aside their differences for just a minute and enjoy each other?  The answer is obviously “yes,” but it brings up something that is a long and desperate yearning in the human race, and that is the female quest for the best that they can get as a sexual partner based on the fantasies of attraction, which everyone is hard-wired for.  Yet life and its quality come down to a person’s choices, and women often find themselves victims of bad decisions.  And even after a lifetime of them, that innocent girlish smile of first experiences never gets old.

Like many women, Jill Biden had men come and go in her life.  It is entirely possible that she had never met a person like Trump.  There are other men like Trump in the world, very confident, self-assured people who are conquerors in their own right over their destinies, and women tend to love such men for all that they can be and to fulfill the fantasy of using sexual power to have a relationship with one.  But often, it takes personal courage to even entertain such an antisocial relationship, because the rules of society are meant to favor the losers of the world.  And for men, many of our social rules have come about with the expectation that it would allow them to be louses and perform poorly in the world.  So, when a woman meets a man who does not function from such rules, she is going to feel the joy of such elation even if she has been associating with the world’s top people from a social perspective and has acquired the highest social status that a human being could ever hope for.  And it’s highly likely, because of her terrible choices throughout her life, that she had never met a man like Trump.  Because it takes courage to do so, and most women turn away from those opportunities early in their life, yielding to the pressures of social acceptance.  As sad as it is, loser husbands like Joe Biden, who took inappropriate showers with his daughter, and permanently damaged her psychologically, are expected in this world.  Probably because of the kind of social circles that Jill Biden functioned in her entire life, she only met men who would do such a thing and think it okay.

Trump, on the other hand, has had to learn how to beat down all the female advances that come his way.  And it took most of his life to learn to do so.  But yes, when you are an unconquered spirit, you are the fantasy of almost every woman, and that is a power that must be managed carefully.  It can be very tempting to yield to every whim for the affections of a woman who wants to make a lasting impression for a night, a day, a week, or years.  It’s a primal passion that comes from more than just smelling good.  But Trump understands the power of a picture like that and has smartly had fun with it to take the edge off reality, “Buy my new cologne, Fight, Fight, and it will win over your enemies.”  But the truth is that Jill was thinking about all the losers in her life and was wondering if she could even taste such a man for a fleeting second with her husband gone in an exciting city at a place of history, even at her age.  Turn off the cameras.  Get a room someplace.  Could she have such a moment with an unconquered man?  A man who had the entire world try to destroy him, and he bravely brushed away all the danger to sit there next to her, a hero, the most admired man in the world.  And the most hated.  Yet he didn’t feel the pressure to yield to the hate.  Oh, what a look Jill Biden let loose in front of her sexually abused daughter, an abused country, and a world under the thumb of tyranny to think of stealing away a kiss while his wife was not with him. 

It’s not like this would be the first time with Jill.  She left her first husband after he wrote Joe Biden one of his first campaign checks for elected office.  Like most women who find they can use sex to gain power, she jumped from one man to another because Joe looked like he was going to be a winner.  He drove sports cars and was rising in politics, so she left her husband and ran off with Joe.  And likely, she has thought of doing the same thing with many other men over the years.  As a result, she has only known evil men her entire life and never met someone like Trump until that moment in Notre Dame.  And like the long-repressed school girl wondering if the guy she liked might kiss her and that her entire life might be changed at that moment, she joined the millions of other women who have made the same dumb mistakes, and that was to join with just another, average, loser man.  Joe Biden was President of the United States.  He was head of a crime family that sold influence with elected office, going back to selling his office as a senator and Vice President.  But to Jill, he was just another used-up, broken man falling asleep on the beach, waiting to die.  And there was Trump, full of life.  He had beautiful things around him and had the world dancing to his every move. Yeah, she wanted to kiss him. To run away with him.  To undo all her life’s missteps and throw them away for just a moment of impropriety with Trump.  And she couldn’t hide the thought from her face.   Many women secretly go through the same process.  They look on the couch and see their beat-up, lazy husbands hiding behind the feminist movement because they are too lazy to be good.  They become victims to the times and then declare that the day’s fashion is to yield to their women and do whatever they say.  But Trump is his own man, and a few others out there think the same way.  And most women, in some way, wish they could access one.  But most, especially Jill Biden, never had the courage to go on such an adventure in her youth.  And now, as an older woman with all the best things in her life behind her, she could only wonder what could have been.

Why D.O.G.E. Will Be Successful Where Others Have Failed: Vivek Ramaswamy and I share close personal friends, and everyone gets it–this time

Vivek Ramaswamy and I share close personal friends.  I happened to have had dinner with a few of them the other day, and we had an excellent talk about D.O.G.E., this new Department of Government Efficiency, and what it was that would make it successful as opposed to every other attempt in history to reign in government overreach and waste at the expense of taxpayer budgets.  We also talked about their appearance in Time Magazine, a special commemorative to President Trump.  From my own experience, I have been pointing out government waste for a few decades now.  To take on a job like this, you have to have independent wealth to a certain extent.  Suppose you are making money off the system. In that case, it is nearly impossible to reform the system, and most of the political figures that have come and gone through the Washington D.C. culture may have had a lot of money, but they aren’t independently wealthy.  To manage something or to reform it, you can’t be a desperate fool trying to rub two dimes together that you found in a couch to make a penny.  You need to be able to insulate yourself to have objective thought.  That is what makes Vivek Ramaswamy and Elon Musk unique at this point in history; they are independently wealthy.  Trump is independently wealthy.  Most people joining Trump at the White House are independently wealthy, and Democrats have taken notice.  They have an unnatural hatred of wealth which is part of the problem.  At the heart of all government waste are these anti-capitalist, money-hating unions that have a side story of collapsing the entire economic system of the United States, and that is certainly the philosophy behind the labor movement, which is at the heart of the problem.  So I was talking about this issue at a nice, intimate dinner, and I can just tell everybody, this D.O.G.E. thing won’t be like anything else ever done or attempted before.  And, it could only happen because of the independent wealth of the leadership.  Because to do the job correctly, you have to have the objectivity to avoid the face up against the glass perspective that most in government always have.  And solve the problem for good.   I know from personal experience that Vivek Ramaswamy is one of the few who are qualified and able to perform the task.

Of course, I’ve been involved in the background many times to try something like this D.O.G.E., such as SB5 back in 2012, where there was an effort to make public sector unions illegal in Ohio.  This has been a problem for a long time; unions are attached to government labor because you can’t have any meaningful discussions about budget reform with radical left-winged unions running the budgets.  It doesn’t matter if it’s a public school or the FBI.  Too many government agencies are locked in place, and too many labor unions pay people too much to work too little.  So, taking that problem on involves many people who make money off the chaos, including many politicians who built that system.  Many became very rich from insider trading, so once everyone drinks from that cup of corruption, there is no going back, and things get out of control.  The SB5 effort failed for many reasons, but it came down to independent wealth.  Too many people involved in the reform were in their key income-making years and could not be objective about the necessity of government operations.  They feared not making their own money out of that process, so they were too weak to perform the task when the rubber hit the road.

The Tea Party effort tried to work with the system for many years, but the SWAMP was deep, and the alligators and pythons wanted to eat you every time you tried to pull the plug, so they were very vicious.  That means you can’t be a swamp creature and still drain that swamp so that we can make something much better.  I remember when I first met Vivek Ramaswamy through the friends mentioned and others, and we talked about where he was in life.  I understood, and he asked me if I wanted a picture with him while we were talking.  I felt strange about it; I’m not the kind who does that very much.  But looking back on it, it was one of those pinnacle moments.  A year later, I had him sign a copy of his book Woke Inc. because I felt he was on to something unique and special.  He wrote in front of my book, “Speak Freely,” because at that time, he didn’t know what he was going to do.  Maybe he would be a senator or the President, but he would use his independent wealth to try and give something back and fix this government waste problem.  He understood that the way to do that was not to attack the problem where it was most potent, but in other ways, such as through free speech, so he wrote what he did in my book.  Vivek Ramaswamy had earned the ability to criticize the system through his private wealth because he wasn’t dependent on it for his livelihood. 

Ironically, that is precisely where Elon Musk is in his life.  What good is being the wealthiest person in the world if the world is declining in value?  It’s not the stuff you can buy, but it’s what the stuff is worth that matters.  And how D.O.G.E. will work was outlined in Vivek’s books.  I saw this early on and have been very excited about that approach.   I knew it would work and that Vivek was on to something that could have only come from his unique perspective.  And that D.O.G.E. will be very effective, not in the way that the government unions are ready for.  They are not prepared to fight on this front but believe me, we have tried to give them all a fair shake, and they spit in our faces.  Don’t try to befriend people who spit in your face.  If they want to destroy themselves, then let them.  And that, ultimately, is what will happen with D.O.G.E. and why it will succeed while all other attempts have failed.  When we’ve had government shutdowns in the past, it was always what labor took away to extort resolution through pain and suffering, the typical radical labor union perspective.  People are tired of that type of management method and are ready for a barrage of free speech on the matter, which only people who are independently wealthy can afford to utter.  In that way, government reform won’t be done through the front door of legislative control, which Congress can hide behind by saying that the rules of government labor tie their hands.  But that the foundation that all the rules were built to protect the very lazy and corrupt from the merits of judgment reside that will be dealt with, for really, the first time in the history of the world.  And I am thrilled to see it and that Vivek Ramaswamy is at the heart of the reform.  I know it will be successful because he and many others are also involved in very healthy ways in front and behind the scenes.  And it’s about time!

All Trump’s Picks Should Easily Get Confirmed: Democrats don’t have the political capital to take a stand

You must understand that this pushback against Trump’s cabinet picks is purely the swamp defending itself from change. Primarily driven by the same media that tried to insert Kamala Harris as a president.  The final results are that all of Trump’s picks will be approved, and the drama will die quickly in the coming weeks.  But we have to understand what kind of game is being played here; it’s the same high school game of popularity that Democrats and global communists try to apply to every social effort.  If you challenge their static order, you might be called a name.  Or they may not like you, and everyone likes to be liked.  So they use that trend against the incoming President Trump, in this case, to let him know that the Senate is in charge, which, in essence, is the desired belief of the media companies who are run by those financial globalists who want to think they are in charge of everything.  And that public sentiment can rule over their enemies with an iron fist.  This belief is that the Senate will be essentially 50/50 down the middle and that if only a few Republicans peel away as RINOs and stop Trump’s picks from being confirmed, such as Pete Hegseth and Kash Patel, that they will be able to preserve their corrupt Beltway culture.  That notion is a fantasy because many other factors will go into the Senate confirmations, and it should be expected that all of Trump’s picks will quickly get confirmed without much controversy.  Because behind the defense mechanisms of the SWAMP itself is a grim reality: we are a Republic, not a flea-bitten democracy of social butterflies controlled by the popular kids in school.  Quickly, the tough-talking senators who desire to work against Trump will find that the real pressure on their votes will come from public disclosure, not a protection of the Beltway by those who have most corrupted it. 

For instance, let’s review the confirmation of the very corrupt and controversial Merrick Garland for Attorney General.  He won his confirmation easily with a 70-30 vote, meaning a lot of Republicans, many of the same names being mentioned now peeling away from Trump, voted with the Biden administration to give Democrats a fair shake of opinion under the “advise and consent” decree of Constitutional necessity.  And that is generally how it goes in all confirmations.  There aren’t many more controversial than that one, but there were around 20 senators who were willing to give Biden a fair shake, even if they disagreed with the President politically.  They wanted to show the incoming administration and other senators that they were willing to work with the other side to get things done for the American people.  At least by appearance.  They were the minority party essentially and did not feel they could dig in and take a stand against the presidential picks of a political change state.  So Merrick Garland sailed through without much of a hitch.  Most of these senators believe that it is their job to ask questions in public and provide an extra level of scrutiny that might otherwise go unnoticed.  However, they do not feel validated enough to stop a presidential administration from the start, but they feel it’s in their best interest to give the appearance to the public and the president of a willingness to work with everyone for the good of the Republic.  Most of them like being senators, and they don’t want to be thrown out at the next election because, ultimately, they must represent the general opinion of the public, not their personal desires. 

So the media is telling us that not one Democrat is going to vote for any of Trump’s picks and that a few RINO Republicans can completely derail President Trump’s incoming administration.  But the truth is, there are likely a lot of Democrats who will want to vote for Trump’s picks for all the same reasons that Republicans have done so in the past.  And by the time all the smoke clears, it won’t even be close.  And here’s why it is essential to understand this: because what’s been going on is a kind of Saul Alinsky control over the election process for far too long, and it has prevented us in the past from doing what needed to be done because we thought the media and other influencers had a lot more power than they actually had.  But they don’t have much power, really, in the end.  And once you buckle for one of these picks, like the blood in the water was with Matt Gaetz for Attorney General, then the bad guys will think they can character assassinate all the Trump picks and get away with it, such as with Robert Kennedy, who will be very controversial for Senators to consider.  But ultimately, they won’t have a choice.  Most of them have taken a lot of money from Big Pharma, and voting for Kennedy will be hard for them.  However, Republicans and Democrats know that there needs to be significant system reform and that only Kennedy can do it.  Otherwise, they will get wrapped up in all the bad COVID news that’s coming soon, including who knew what and when. And how much damage everyone up front knew the bioweapon of Covid was going to be as it was unleashed from China along a very purposeful trajectory.  Plenty of senators understood the situation and didn’t want to be on the wrong side of history, so they will vote for Kennedy so they wouldn’t be associated with stonewalling a criminal investigation that isn’t going away.  Especially after Brad Wenstrup’s Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Report that is coming out now.  (Don’t say I didn’t tell you all this years ago.  It’s all coming out and a lot of people are in a lot of trouble, as they should be) 

Trump was very popularly elected, and many Democrat Senators are trying to hold seats in states that Trump won.  So, while media leaks might try to show resistance to Trump popularity within their party politics when it comes time to put a vote on paper for the record, things tighten up considerably.  And none of the Trump picks are crazy like many of the Biden picks were, where cross-dressing freakshows were presented with more than a tongue in cheek, and the expectation to vote for them was hard pressed. Otherwise, those senators would be accused of standing in the way.  Many Republicans didn’t want that guilt by association, so they voted to confirm.  And there will be a lot of Democrats in the same boat, especially now that they are in the minority.  They don’t have the numbers to run an insurrection. Otherwise, their minority status will only increase in the negative direction.  The discussion we are having ahead of the confirmation hearings is just a hopeful fantasy of the Beltway SWAMP creatures hoping to stave off reform for as long as possible.  However, the Trump picks are all top of their field types and have a lot of media experience, so they won’t give any senators an easy way to vote no. However, the temptation to vote for confirmation will be pressure from the public to hold a seat on the record against a very popular president.  And nobody wants that.  Who thinks that John Fetterman won’t vote to confirm Trump’s picks?  He’s not the only Democrat Senator looking to survive the Trump presidency.  So, in the end, the few RINO Republicans who are left in the Senate are not going to be able to control the agenda.  It’s all too big for them, and that realization will hit everyone soon.  People are going to realize that we have been a Republic all along.  And being a representative is what matters most, not personal radicalism and ideology.
