Rich People In Trump’s Administration is a Great Thing: Government serves us, not the other way around

I don’t see any problem with all the wealthy people now involved with Trump’s White House.  The anxiety people feel is misplaced because you must remember that the government has limited powers for a reason.  People in government do not rule us.  They are there to serve us.  So, from my perspective, if a bunch of rich people want to serve us through government in some way, then that can only be a good thing.  When I hear people worry about all these rich people who are suddenly eating out of Trump’s hand when they have been very hostile to him, it’s important to remember what the government is supposed to be doing.  I will never trust Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerbucks, Larry Ellison, or any of those guys.  Bill Gates should be in jail for his role in COVID-19 and the cover-up of where it all came from.  But I’m not surprised that Trump has sat down with him and listened to him.  And I’m certainly not surprised they suddenly want to be Trump’s friend.  Everyone must remember that this is why you want a government that represents you, and you want people like Trump, who have achieved a unique place in life, to represent us freely.  The government is purposefully limited so that wealth and power can’t be captured and used against people like a king might do.  So all this oligarchy talk is a lot to do about nothing.  The more, the better, from my perspective.  Wealth gives people freedom, which is part of the American system and the ultimate resume.  This is proof of a successful life, and when we put people in positions to do great things for us in government, there is no way to fake the credentials of a very public and wealthy person.  The proof is in their life. 

If Trump hadn’t been wealthy, he would not have been able to become president.  It took massive wealth to fight back against a system that was designed to abandon our Constitution and impose tyranny, just as has been the case since the beginning of time.  I know people’s suspicions about wealthy people only increase from a biblical perspective.  Only recently in the West has the idea of self-government been created and imposed through revolution.  Much of that revolution was caused by wealthy people who had acquired a perspective of freedom that comes best from wealth.  So, rich people had to be well connected to the powers of tyranny to have anything during the biblical era.  They couldn’t be trusted.  Yet it’s a much different reference point under the American system where wealth is gained through innovation and hard work.  Wealth in itself isn’t merit.  But it reflects a life of good decisions and social victory as a measure in a free market economy.  However, that measure is very new on the world stage, and many hostile agents worldwide want things to be as they were for centuries, where wealth gained meant to rule over the many.  And Democrats have been playing on those fears for a long time to gain power in that very traditional sense.  However, as is Elon Musk, Trump is different, and many people have attached themselves to Trump’s efforts.  I know from Vivek Ramaswamy because he’s from my area, and I’ve been able to talk to him about it, that as a young and wealthy person, he is attracted to helping people with the money he has gained.  So, he finds himself attached to the Trump administration in many ways.  And I think that’s what we are seeing a lot of now that Trump is the President.

Many of those same names had been attaching themselves to the old measures of wealth understanding.  People were suspicious of rich people because history gave them a lot of reason to be so.  The Bible reflects this fear dramatically.  Rich people like Jeff Bezos, who wanted to go out and use his money to buy a trophy wife and lots of cool toys to play with, wanted to prove that they weren’t bad people, even if, in some ways, they were terrible people living a life of sin and scandal.  However, they gained wealth under the free market system because they did something really well that made them a lot of money.  Like in Jeff Bezos’s situation, he made Amazon the best online retailer in the world, making my life infinitely better.  I would argue that the books sold under Amazon have been a tremendous part of the freedom movement in America.  Even though Amazon tried to become part of the censorship movement in some cases, the freedom of access to information through Amazon has given voice to free market ideas, ultimately leading to President Trump’s election.  Even if Jeff Bezos bought The Washington Post as a blog to destroy Trump essentially, the total sum of all the work made people more accessible to consider uniquely American ideas about wealth representation in government.  In the market of ideas, Trump was picked by the public regardless of what the static order had to say about it.  And Bezos’ actions speak louder than his words because his words were shaped by a kind of deceit formed by a biblical view of the world where he aligned himself with Democrat politics to prove that he wasn’t just another rich guy who wanted to rule the world.  That he was with the people as a social order defined it then.

Rich people have a freedom that we all would like to have, and it is part of the fantasy of the American style of government to provide the best and brightest to the world of merit.  When Biden warns of a Trump administration of oligarchs, that comes from a person who would otherwise be poor if he did not sell his offices to enrich his family, as many people have done in government for a long time, it’s been a running joke in politics.  However, that kind of wealth is not the same kind that someone like Trump has produced.  They might all be rich, but their money came from different places.  Trump didn’t get rich by cozying up to the powerful.  He became rich and powerful by doing a good job.  And we love America because its economic system gives us a chance at just such a life.  So we want to support those who do make it and then decide to use the wealth and freedom they have gained to help others have a shot at the same.  Or at least make life better for people in any way possible.  And that’s what I see happening around Trump.  These aren’t rich people as we traditionally and biblically know them.  These people have had the pretense of wealth socially stripped away and are now free to use that wealth to do extraordinary things with it.  And Trump is giving them access to do just that.   Suspicion of them is natural.  And they are not suddenly good people just because they have money.  But part of what makes America great is that wealth is a scoreboard of success and that it’s always a good thing to have successful people making decisions that can make a country better and improve the world’s condition.  Trump is making that happen for the first time in history, which is ultimately a very good thing for everyone.

SpaceX Does it Again: Crawling out from under Cost-Plus restrictions

For perspective, you can go back through all my writing, millions and millions of words back to 2013 when I wrote an article from Florida about the essential end of the Space Shuttle program and that Obama’s vision for NASA was to partner with Russian cosmonauts for any future space missions.  I was very outraged at the policy, and if I never liked Obama for anything, it was his anti-growth attitude to suppress American exceptionalism as it often presents itself in space travel, that I hated the most.  We were going backward under Obama and Biden, and the only growth we have seen in over two decades came from the four years we had from Trump the first time.  So, I have been very excited about watching the civilian infrastructure for space develop, and anywhere I can help it, I certainly do.  So if I’m more excited these days and very enthusiastic for every day, as many people pointed out to me at a Jags get-together ahead of the inauguration of Trump, I’m sure eventually they’ll understand.  I don’t think people realize what a miracle the week of January 13th was in 2025.  Yes, SpaceX did it again; they landed their Superheavy booster rocket back on the pad it launched from after carrying another Starship into space.  They lost the ship due to a pressure problem that couldn’t gas out fast enough on a new second-generation Starship, and it ruptured the hull, causing the whole thing to break up in the atmosphere.   That was unfortunate but very correctable.  The real trick was repeating the landing of the booster rocket to show that the first time wasn’t an accident.  Watching that rocket capture chopsticks system work now repeatably was a fantastic thing to witness, and it takes us a long way from my complaints about when Obama ended the Space Shuttle program over a decade ago.

But that wasn’t all; just a few hours before SpaceX launched, Blue Origin put their own rocket into space, but this one was carrying a lunar lander from Firefly, a Texas-based company, that was returning to the moon.  Another personal problem I have is with NASA and governments around the world.  I don’t care what anybody found when we went to the moon the first time.  There was no excuse not to have a Hilton there by now so I could vacation on the moon with my family.  This raw, primitive embrace of backward thinking that came to us from both political parties has infuriated me to no end.  When people ask me why I have had my war against public education, it starts with this lack of preparation as a culture to advance people into space.  We should have been doing this since the original moon missions, and as I was growing up, it looked good.  But the Department of Education under Jimmy Carter and the socialist politics that held our society down through labor unions and liberal politics stopped that advancement and I have never been good with it.   If we don’t have a culture pushing for adventures into space, we are deliberately trying to suppress the ambitions of the human race in a very unhealthy way.  So, for me, watching all this space activity just a few days before President Trump’s return to the White House was fantastic and deserved as a subject of massive optimism.  For a culture to produce two space launches like Blue Origin and SpaceX produced, it would have taken NASA a decade to do one of them.  Let alone two significant ones.  We are dealing with good times, finally.

The amount of capacity and bandwidth is the real challenge, and that’s what is changing, which I’ll be pointing out often because I am pretty sure people don’t know what to think of these displays of monumental ambition.  It takes thousands of manhours and intelligence calculations to produce one rocket into space, especially when discussing complicated payloads.  But here we have a culture that did it twice in the same week. Additionally, there are several Falcon rockets that are taking constant payload into space, whether people or satellites for the Starlink system, we have come a long way from the Obama administration sending Americans into space through partnerships with Russia.  As soon as SpaceX realized that they had lost their Starship, they were already planning to pull another out of their manufacturing facility, where several others were waiting, and they were planning another launch next month.  SpaceX expects to launch at least 20 more times in 2025 to develop Starship further.  What they learned from this recent one, even though it burned up in the atmosphere, was extremely valuable compared to the traditional hindrances of a cost-plus company.  The way SpaceX is attacking the problem is the definition of how these things will be done in the future, and it embodies a whole new view of manufacturing that is escaping the clutches of global socialists like Obama, who were deliberately trying to hold back humanity.   It’s one of those situations in which small-minded people have been trying to destroy society to rule over the ashes.  And these new manufacturing methods being developed at SpaceX are a rebellion against that sentiment.  And it’s precisely what space needs for humans to colonize the stars.  Other companies are now moving in that same direction regarding the “rate of resolution.”

Cost-plus companies have been hijacked by all kinds of horrible forces that have held back the aerospace industry since the first moon landing.  When parasitic characters realized they could stall contracts and make money off ignorant governments for more congressional money to be thrown at the trolls to build something, trouble was clearly on the horizon.  That’s why space had to move into civilian care because there was looting politics in government control that held us back with people like Obama.  A setback like Starship had at SpaceX this week would have stopped advancement at a typical cost-plus company for a decade in the past.  Instead, Elon Musk said immediately that the plan was to roll out another Starship and get ready for a second try next month.  The only thing that will hold them back is the speed of government, which will increase dramatically once Trump is back in office.  There is a lot to be very excited about, and I am.  It’s not just about going to space that is exciting; it is about watching the human race crawl out from under a very oppressive political climate and an education system that has sought to cripple us purposely.  Not to inspire us to grow.  And due to all that, we see that the human race is doing big things again, and the American culture, which has produced the world’s wealthiest people, is putting that wealth to good use in adventure and enterprise.  As good as this past week was, and it was, I see under the incoming Trump administration launches like that happening every single day.  I don’t think people realize yet how important all this is and what it will do for us.  But I can see it and am very excited about what’s coming.   In many ways, it’s a dream come true.

The Heart of the Pedophilia Problem: It’s in what we consider to be “adult content”

I’ve been writing these articles daily for over 15 years, and they are changing slightly.  It will probably tick off some people, but that’s OK.  We are trying to make America great again, and that means that we have to shift our focus from fixing things out there somewhere to looking at ourselves and fixing what’s broken within us, which allowed a broken world to occur in the first place.  So my work here is transforming perhaps from a Drudge Report from the classic days to more of a Tony Robbins motivational seminar at an Alcoholics Anonymous session.  That’s OK. When I started doing this, it wasn’t a very popular thing to do, and it made many people very angry.  But they are only angry because they know it’s true.  And that was never more abundantly true than over the issue of pedophilia, the diabolical trend of having sex with children that is such a horrendous problem—much more than most people want to admit to.  Here in my local community of Butler County, Ohio, we have seen sex with children and a very soft reaction to it from the public in general to be a significant trend among well-paid members of polite society.  So this isn’t just a scum bag in the corner with a porn addiction kind of problem.  It’s happening everywhere.  This past year, I was able to serve as a foreman on a grand jury, and I saw lots of evidence of child pornography that showed me the face of true evil manifesting in the world. That is such a problem. I would put it at number one out of all our current issues.  There are people trying to have sex with kids that you know and they are trying to do it right now.  And no child is safe if they interact with five or more people, even within family structures.  But why is it such a problem?  And why is it so hard for us to admit to it?  Well, that’s the heart of the problem.  We were all raised to advance it.

When we were all kids and coming of age, we were told by society that smoking, drinking, and having sex were “adult” content in movies and books and that we were kept from seeing or witnessing the practice.  Before puberty, we teach kids fun things, and we talk about those things as kids’ things.  But when we get to a certain age and want to show that we are adults, we start doing one of those three things: sex, drugs, and drinking to prove that we have come of age.  How many fourteen-year-old girls take up smoking as a means to show the world that they are now ready to be pollinated and have gained the power to use sex as a weapon?  Well, why do they think that?  Because we told them that was how adults become adults.  And they want to be adults and transition from being a kid.  We taught them that the values of being a kid were to be locked in a closet never to return, or to sell all those cute things from our childhood in a yard sale, to trade all the adorable stuffed animals with body piercings, pop music posters, and sexual conquests.  And because we focus on those three things as our gateways to adulthood, we don’t give ourselves any room to grow any further, and most people never mature beyond the age of 15 years old.  By that time, the mistakes of that chosen lifestyle scare people for life, and they never get over all the bad things they did during this age group.

By the time most people turn 50 or 60, they have made so many mistakes in their own lives and then destroyed the lives of their children with the same diabolical practices that they start to go a little psycho and lose touch with reality.  They come across as so out of touch that young people never consider listening to them for wisdom, which makes the situation worse for the older people, and they drop off the map and die quietly while their grandkids and great-grandkids can’t take their eyes off their smartphones during the funeral, caring almost nothing for the somber occasion.  That is a big reason why adults seek sex with kids, either to get back to that innocence or to undo in their minds the mistakes they made their entire adult lives.  Adults are old and broken, and kids are new and fresh, so in a parade of broken people, kids don’t have much of a chance to enter their teenage years without some corrupt influence trying to groom them into horrendous behavior on a path to self-destruction because that’s all the adults know to do and they pass the mess on to the next generation for all kinds of foolish reasons.  And before you know it, the men are taking their adult wealth and secretly flying to Cambodia to have sex with a harem fantasy of 14-year-old girls while the wife discharges her frustrations with growing insanity because women express themselves differently on this problem than men do.  Women feel rejected.  The men seek youth to do it all over again knowing what they do now that they wished they knew then.  Some men stay in the legal lane by getting a new wife in their 20s when they are in their 50s.  But in many ways, that isn’t good.   Nobody escapes intact, and everyone’s lives are ruined in the process. 

This ruin is on such a scale that we can’t deal with it.  So when we find out that our school superintendent is essentially selling his wife for sex-ploits with the world because of a severe porn addiction, and that addiction is taking them into sex with kids in their school, we act surprised.  But when that incident actually happened, most everyone sat on their hands and said nothing about it because deep inside, they were just as guilty.  They didn’t yet do the deed.  But they were thinking about it.  This trend to decriminalize sex with minors is more than just a desire; it’s the direction a society like ours goes when sex, drugs, and reckless behavior are the only things that we identify as proper to be an adult.  So, our values never progress beyond those traits, and we wonder why we have the problems we do.  Well, it all starts by telling kids that “adult content” is a forbidden fruit, and that’s their path to proving they are no longer children.  And we wish we could say to them that when they are 50, 60, and 70, they will want to have held on to their childhoods a lot longer and not be in such a rush to pick one or all of those three things to show the adults they were ready to grow up.  But that is why we have a pedophilia problem. We have baked it into our social order, and until we change that, it will continue to be a massive problem.  Kids don’t have much chance because the adults of their lives never figured it out.  Because they, too, were taught all the wrong things and, as adults, don’t know any better how to behave.  And it’s not just a few people; it’s most people of all ages and classes.  They all have the same fundamental problem: how they entered adulthood, thinking one of those horrible things was the means to get there.  Only to discover they should have held on to their childhoods much longer.  And if they had, they would have been much happier and intellectually sound as older adults than the empty lives they were given to live and never otherwise questioned.

Catherine Herridge Delivers the Goods: A CIA whistleblower reveals how they kill people with energy weapons

There is a lot wrong with the Matthew Levelsberger case, where he supposedly drove a Tesla Cybertruck to the front lobby of the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas and detonated a car bomb on January 1st, 2025 and we are all supposed to believe that it wasn’t connected to the terror attack in New Orleans.  And that the driver shot himself in the head with a Desert Eagle moments before the explosion and that all kinds of evidence was found at the scene that makes a nice story for quick FBI resolution. But for the fact that he emailed a letter to some media personalities that said that he was in trouble as a whistleblower and that he didn’t think they’d let him flee to the Mexican border.  Then, of course, everything could be untrue and part of a plot of deception to hide the real villains and causes for the intended violence.  But let’s not speculate here because we have been given a lot to speculate about, and that is entirely likely the point.  I happen to carry a Desert Eagle as my concealed carry weapon so I know how powerful it is.  It’s not the kind of gun you hold with one hand and shoot and still have a head after.  We now know that there was a driver in the car already there moving his head just before the explosion and that the head was still in one piece, which a .50 caliber bullet hadn’t yet made a mess of.  The attempt to create a public relations sensation and connect all this to Area 51 somehow shows a CIA amateur hour that reminds me a lot of the Oklahoma City bombing and the concealment of the third terrorist.  Of course, that all was covered up by the more horrible terror event 9/11, which happened just a few years later and involved even a deeper level of cover-up.  I think the safe thing to say is that the terrible people who have been in charge of our government never thought that the Internet was going to create free speech. Rather, it would serve as a propaganda vehicle for big global government, and they have now lost control of the message, just ahead of Trump’s inauguration for a second term. They are getting desperate and trying all the old tricks, but people are figuring them out in a way they aren’t prepared for.

So, let’s discuss what we know about this level of deception, which came from Catherine Herridge, the former Fox reporter who is now doing independent journalism. And she was always one of the good ones, a classic reporter who does things for the right reasons.  Just a few days before this terrorist attack at Trump’s Vegas Hotel, she did a significant segment that was on “X” about a CIA whistleblower that got to the real meat and potatoes on this terrorist subject and to whom the CIA is actually loyal, the concept of a domestic America or a global one world government for which they are a front-line military effort of overthrow?  And to that second point, what are their weapons hidden behind conspiracy theories, most of which they create to keep people through deception from knowing what they are up to?  And to that point, Catherine Herridge is no conspiracy theorist.  She is among the last of the mainstream media who worked well in that world and is the best they have to offer.  She’s not a wild and crazy Alex Jones.  She is the kind of woman who was a senior investigative correspondent for CBS in Washington D.C., And here she was with a CIA whistleblower around Christmas of 2024 with a story revealing that the CIA uses energy weapons to get rid of people they don’t want talking about their actions. 

When we talk about energy weapons, in this case, it’s an AHI energy weapon, an Anomalous Health Incident.  It’s where an energy wave can be fired at your body, and the effects can scramble your cell structure and rip away your immune system so that all the parasites already in your body can run free and destroy you with advanced illnesses.  And here was Catherine Herridge showing proof in a proper way of a real CIA whistleblower about how she had outlived her usefulness to them, and now they were trying to get rid of her by scrambling her brain.  And it’s not just this one person; there are a lot of whistleblowers coming out about this blatant abuse of employees by the CIA to close up loose ends on the kind of people who gain a career’s worth of secrets only to become dangerous and disposed of early in retirement before they get a chance to talk too much in old age.  Based on the evidence, this is a policy among the CIA to keep former and current employees quiet about the classified projects they work on.  And I believe the whistleblower in Catherine’s interview.  I have always thought that’s how they killed Andrew Breitbart.  Steve Bannon says no, that Andrew already had pre-existing medical conditions.  But I would say this is how the CIA likes to kill people through the appearance of natural causes, as they do with the heart attack gun, which is a little dart of ice that, once it enters your body, melts and releases chemicals that send people into cardiac arrest.  I’ve always thought that was the cause of the heart attack with the film director, Stanley Kubrick, because the elites featured in the movie and their Ishtar-based sex practices didn’t want people to see what they were up to, and they sought to send a message by killing the director during the rough-cut part of the film’s production of Eyes Wide Shut.  Steven Spielberg took over the cut of the film advocated by Tom Cruise and his wife, Nichole Kidman, and the film was released, shocking the world with a peak under the curtain of polite society.  And none of those Hollywood people were ever the same again.

Energy weapons could scramble your nervous system from a remote location that would never trace the aggression to the aggressor.  And all that the victim would see was that they suddenly became sick.  These weapons could be used to advance cancer growth, diabetes, brain disease, and all sorts of health conditions that would appear to be natural causes.  But in all truth, there are murders and political hits to preserve a view of the world driven by globalism and all kinds of flawed characters who want to destroy our concept of an American representative republic.  That’s how they have been controlling the herd, as they see us that way, not as people they serve but as those they must make submit to their authority, as a black budget enterprise that is not accountable to our mechanisms of government.  And this story about these energy weapons came out just a few days ahead of the terrorist events of January 1st.  And ahead of the threat of President Trump declassifying a lot of these CIA acts of terror so people can know for themselves things like who killed President Kennedy.  And what was really behind Watergate?  And who performed the coup behind getting rid of President Trump the first time.  We don’t need to turn to conspiracy theory for the answer because Catherine Herridge had a real-life CIA whistleblower to tell us precisely what is going on, along with other witnesses.  We only needed a media member to carry the story, which is what Catherine did.  And suddenly, the motivations for terrorist attacks become much more obvious from this desperate band of characters.  And the Las Vegas event was desperate.  It was sloppy and full of holes.  And performed by desperate people facing public scrutiny they aren’t prepared to deal with.  So they are trying the old tricks, and people aren’t buying it.  An attempt to use a government asset that they could probably provoke through an energy weapon, an advanced condition of PTSD, to control a damaged mind, and to try to turn the public against Trump and Elon Musk with this terror attack is a script we’ve seen before.  The Cybertruck could even drive itself to the detonation zone.  But this isn’t the 90s like with Oklahoma City, where the story could be controlled.  Or even the 2000s, where the narrative of the hijacked airlines running into the World Trade Center could be sold as Islamic terror and a chance to celebrate firefighters and patriotism as we sent troops to bomb dirt in Iraq and Syria.  No, this is the age of independent journalism, and Catherine Herridge presented the goods, and the CIA is in deep trouble, as they should be.  They have been up to no good for far too long, and we are at a time where they will have to pay for what they’ve done.  And they are in a panic.  Get rid of the CIA, and many of these problems would disappear.  Whatever we replace them with must be accountable to Congress.  The CIA was a disaster from the start, and it is beyond reform.

Potomac Fever: The cost of reforming government

We saw a bit about what Anthony Scaramucci meant when he warned Elon Musk over the Holidays of 2024 to stay out of the politics of Washington, D.C.  He specifically cautioned Musk not to get Potomac Fever as he had worked for the White House for a while, which caused a rift with Trump that has lasted to the present and he played like he didn’t want Musk to get that sickness.  Looking back on it, and I’m sure this time won’t be much different, there were many people that Trump liked and supported and tried to bring with him to Washington, D.C., that fell apart and off the rocker without too much time.  Steve Bannon was one of those who got caught off the reservation a bit and had to be removed from the administration.  At one level what Scaramucci said on cable news about Musk could have been viewed as a warning.  “Don’t let what happened to me happen to you,” kind of advice.  Politics is a bloodsport, as I say all the time, and things do get bloody around Trump for many reasons.  But looking deeper into the matter, and it only happened a few days later, when Scaramucci said to Musk to run his businesses and leave people alone in government, what happened to Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy over the H-1B visa issue was just a tiny glimpse of things to come.  Surprisingly, the worst critics of Musk’s position were the MAGA people, some of the president’s biggest supporters.  But I wasn’t surprised.  It’s going to get a lot worse than that.  What happened with the H-1B visas was that the SWAMP defended itself from reform, which is what Scaramucci meant as a spokesman for the Beltway’s ruthlessness.  Enjoy your business.  Go live a good life and leave those government people alone.  Or they will ruin your life. 

If you want to do this kind of thing, you have a couple of ingredients that you have to bring with you if you want to reform the government away from the many parasites that are often in it.  You can’t care what people think of you, which Elon Musk doesn’t appear to do in the usual way.  You have to be independently wealthy because the bad guys in the government first pursue your ability to make money as a means to attack.  There are vast evils made daily by people who trade ethics for money, which is why Washington, D.C., has spiraled so far out of control.  That is also why there aren’t more Donald Trumps in the world.  You have to have independent wealth to fight the SWAMP.  When people complain that all these rich people are in Trump’s government, including the come lately types like Elon Musk, you have to understand that you really can’t fight this fight unless you have independent wealth, and in most cases, a lot of it.  If you have just average wealth, that’s not enough because you will be wholly cancel cultured at the bank faster than a bullet from a gun can leave the muzzle.  Yeah, there is a reason that things are the way they are, and the corrupt often end up ruling over everyone else.  Once the bad guys get control of a government and find that they can use the power of it to steal money from everyone through taxation, they aren’t going to give up that racket easily.  So, anybody wanting to challenge that system must be at a place where they no longer care what people think and where the world’s parasites can’t impact their income.  Because they have so much money, people are always willing to be their friends to get some of it. 

But to Scaramucci’s point, yes, these are ruthless and vile people, and if you want to have any kind of good life while fighting them, forget about it.  There is no upside except in doing the right thing; that is the not-so-well-spoken part of the message.  Looking at all the people who came and went within Trump’s orbit over the last decade is truly astonishing.  And when you see how many MAGA supporters were ready to blow up the whole thing over one disagreement over H-1B visas, the immigration issue that is the cornerstone of the entire Trump support system, you get a good idea of the scale of the problem.  To answer the question about America First, what does that mean if the American worker is a unionized slug not willing to do much work beyond the 40 hours a week and leaving a lot of unworked tasks still unfulfilled at the end of a week and call that a lack of capacity, rather than a lack of willingness to be productive?  You can’t build success in the world like that.  So that’s why there is support for immigrant labor, not because they are cheaper, but because they outwork all the unionized slugs, and there are a lot of government workers in Washington D.C.  Most of them belong to some union, and that’s where all the money goes, we pay too much money for too little work.  And because we have brought this big tent into the MAGA movement, there will be a lot of disagreements on policy items.  And if there is anything to exploit, the SWAMP will do so to preserve itself from reform. 

What Anthony Scaramucci said was essentially the old mafia utterance about minding your own business; otherwise, you’d be swimming with the fishes.  The government is no longer, or if it ever was, a representative government.  It’s organized crime under most conditions.  And the crime bosses essentially tell society that if you want a minimal government running your life as opposed to outright anarchy, then you have to pay the price.  A little bit of corruption isn’t going to hurt anything, from their point of view.  Just pay your fee through taxation, and we’ll leave you alone for the most part unless you get some funny ideas about being a hero.  Nobody wants to be a hero.  That is until someone wants to be a hero and save everyone from the system at any cost.  And that perspective often comes from wealth, the kind where they can have anything they want and aren’t concerned about being removed from the Christmas Party list where you get to flirt with the unhappy wives of their typical combover bootlicker husbands and call it high society.  Washington, D.C., is where the Lords of Easy Money set up their racket, and people pay for protection from the very thugs that run the whole outfit, just like the mob.  And Anthoney Scaramucci understands what Potomac Fever is because he’s had it.  And most people get it.  It’s that sickness that people get when they find out they can make friends with people who become powerful because of their access to confiscated wealth and can live a good, easy life if they only join the government union.  Fighting against that union takes a lot of effort, which comes from the defense of that system by those who most benefit from it.  To stand up to it, you have to have abundant wealth and not care about the social impact that comes with it.  What was said to Musk from Scaramucci was more than a warning; it was a vision statement for the government crime syndicate running things.  And that is where the real fight always was.

Trouble With Reservations: How the Biden administration created a national labor crises

This was a hectic Holiday season for me, with many more social engagements than usual.  It’s usually pretty busy, but something happened this year that I have never seen before, and that is I had much trouble booking reservations for dinner engagements, which was very strange.   Because I am usually busy with this kind of thing during November and December, I have a base to say that this year differs from other years.  And that the occurrences were higher than usual indicates that statistically, we’re not dealing with an accident here, but statistical certainty.  But out of the 20 dinners I was involved in over the Holiday season, I had trouble with reservations on 18 of them.  This means that, on the first attempt, the restaurant I was trying to book for a holiday party for social engagements would not accept the reservation due to competing holiday celebrations.  I would have to make a few calls, and in all the cases, I could get a hold of somebody to overcome the apprehension.  But with that process, I also received an explanation that ticked me off.  It’s a trend toward the negative that I have been pointing out to everyone over these last few years, coming out of all the dumb COVID protocols.  That globalist poison attacked our American workforce, and now, under four years of Joe Biden, the impact on the average American worker has destroyed them to such a degree that it was showing up in restaurants and how they staff and handle their employees regarding pressure.  In all 18 cases I mentioned, the general managers explained that they were having difficulty staffing their businesses, especially their kitchens, and were very concerned about overloading them because they were afraid they might quit. 

My idea of a great restaurant is Gordan Ramsey’s signature restaurant in Chelsea, England, just to the south of London along the river.  There are a few great places in the world that I also think about regarding top-tier food.  A steakhouse in Kobe, Japan that specializes in Kobe steak, which is fantastic on every bar you measure.  But that 3 Michelin Star Chef Ramsey place in London is, I think, about as good as it gets.  They know how to prepare food and treat a customer.  And it is hard to make a reservation there.  They purposely have a tiny dining room because they are concerned about the high food quality.  It is an excellent experience if you ever get a chance to go, and it’s costly but well worth the money.  When I was there, they toured me through the kitchen, and I could see how things work behind the scenes, and it was all top-notch.  The workforce was clean, engaged, organized, and efficient.  I can say that I’ve seen the best in the world and understand what it takes to be that way.  That was why I could call shenanigans to many of these local managers in the Cincinnati area when they tried to tell me that they were hesitant to book reservations for fear that their staff might be overworked and start delivering poor food quality.  That was the case in one particularly dumb explanation: a very nice restaurant on the Ohio River overlooking downtown Cincinnati was almost empty on the night that I wanted to entertain guests, yet they were concerned about booking my reservation for more than 20 because they had during that same hour a party of 15 and a party of 10.   

After further probing, I got to the heart of the matter: many people who work in restaurant kitchens doing fine food have become very sensitive to pressure under the Biden administration and the COVID protocols that never disappeared.  While high-quality restaurants were able to hire those kinds of people, their ability to handle stress is much lower than they were just a few years ago, and if pressured in an environment where the demands were intense, these employees were prone to walk off the job rather than fight through the pressure.  So managers of nice restaurants were doing their best to keep that pressure off their kitchens in a rock, paper, scissors game of at least keeping the food quality high, even if it meant a loss of sales at the door.  Cincinnati and areas around the city, especially up in West Chester and Liberty Township, have restaurants that are as good as anywhere in the world, so I understand wanting to keep those high food quality standards by taking the pressure off the kitchen staff.  But the kitchen staff shouldn’t be such crybabies, either.  This was a big problem in my eyes because it’s not just restaurants; this is a major domestic service problem that is the direct result of bad government management by introducing minimum wage increases that were not market-driven and creating workforce shortages with government talk of universal wages and work from home policies of virus management introduced by socialist health departments.  It had taken a few years to get there, but the Biden administration policies had shown up in the reservation systems of high-quality restaurants. The artificial constraint of employees had impacted their businesses to the point where they couldn’t plan to maximize their dining room seating to maximum effect because their staff had become soft and unable to manage high amounts of stress. 

Knowing all this and keeping the managers happy with their dilemma, my approach was to let everyone take two or three hours for dinner so that the kitchens didn’t get stressed out too much and to allow the food quality to be reduced.  My logic to the managers is that they’ll make more money letting their guests wait for the food and buying appetizers and drinks than in trying to pace everything to the artificial constraint of the kitchen staff that was trying to figure out if they’d work that night or call off to play Call of Duty.  If employees are getting paid anyway, why would they work harder?  That is what happens when you take away incentives from the American worker to do more and to do it faster.  Most of these restaurants in Cincinnati are built for speed and large crowds.  This is not like Chef Ramsey’s restaurant in England, which had a purposely small dining room.  The places I was going to were meant to fill every seat, and if they could fit in a reservation, they could book it and keep their dining rooms full.  They needed to push their kitchens to perform.  However, “push” became a bad name under the Biden administration.  Employees have become radicalized and are “pushing back” by saying that they need an emotional safety animal to manage stress so they don’t cry when the pressure becomes too great for them.  The way I think, this is a national security issue.  You don’t see this from workforces when I travel around Asia.  They work hard. In the West, workers don’t work hard anymore, a change from just a few years ago.  Like I said, I do this kind of thing every year.  This year was the first time that I had reservations turned down on nights when the dining rooms were mostly empty, but the managers were purposefully trying to keep the pressure off their kitchens because their employees had become emotionally soft after four years of the Biden administration, and globalism employment practices in general.  And it’s certainly something we need to address as a nation.

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!

Jesus and the Essenes: Regression theropy, past lives, extra planets and the slaughter of rebels

Sometimes, when you read as many books as I do, you run across some real treasures, and that was certainly the case with this old book by Dolores Cannon called Jesus and the Essenes.   It was written way back in 1992 and is considered a classic in New Age explorations, but I wanted to know more about the group that wrote the Dead Sea Scrolls and lived in a community at Qumran on the coast of the Dead Sea and hid their work in the caves once the Romans caught on to them and invaded to kill them all off for being such a threat to society—Roman society.  It was a case of cancel culture that took place in 70 AD and ended on the mountaintop fortress of Masada just a few miles down the sea, where the Essenes fled from the attacking Romans and were forced to commit suicide there before being captured by the authorities.  The Romans were putting down a Jewish revolt, and the Essenes were a radical offshoot who rebelled against the orthodox Jewish communities of the Pharisees and the Sadducees.  They were like the Tea Party of the modern Republican Party, which evolved into MAGA.  All the institutions at the time wanted to kill them off because of the threat they were to the natural order.  I like the Essenes for obvious reasons, and I wanted to learn more, so I read Delores’ book and was rather shocked by the contents.  The book’s point was to show archaeology differently, one that I think is explained by quantum entanglement, a field of study that still has a long way to go.  But Delores presented compelling evidence that she was communicating with a guy who was a member of the Essene community who taught John the Baptist and Jesus Christ at the magnificent library they had there at Qumran, which is what I was after.  And the results were quite remarkable. 

If you strip away the noise of the modern world and all the assumptions that people try to instruct upon your conscious mind for their own political and psychological motivations, we would all find that the way that Biblical characters interacted with the spirit world wasn’t so uncommon.  And that is what my conclusion was about the contents of Dolores Cannon’s fantastic journey and who she spoke with who were in some cases, long, long dead.  What is death anyway? Is it a measure of time, from a living form to one no longer confined to a body of physical embodiment?  Dolores Cannon is a regression hypnotist who was very good at her method.  Not everyone is receptive to it, but in the case of this book, Dolores ran into a young woman in her early 20s named Katie.  And Katie was a good subject for regressive hypnosis.  She seemed to have a personality that was much older than her body, and once Dolores got into her head over multiple sessions that went on for over a year, Dolores found that at least 26 different lives were living in this young woman, so it explained a lot of things regarding Katie’s personality.  I view the human body like a car; our souls drive those cars.  But there are sometimes other souls that ride in our vehicles and can take over if we don’t pay attention to what we are doing, or we give those souls the keys to our cars, and they do drive them.  I think that is a lot of what happens during intoxication when people you know act like people you have no idea who they become while drunk.  Through quantum entanglement, there are always competing spirits looking for a chance to take over and drive your car and we should be very cautious of them.  When someone brags that they were so drunk that they don’t remember what they were doing, there is likely more to it than just memory loss.

I would also say that some of the three lettered agencies, like the CIA, have figured out the political motives of some of these malicious characters, and they can inspire them to take over certain people and get the bodies of people to do whatever it is they want to be done.  However, in the case of this young Katie, who was given a name to hide her identity from her very religious parents, Dolores uncovered a lot of past lives living actively through the young lady.  Most of them were living boring, everyday lives without much going on.  Some of the personalities were men, some were women, and they lived at different times.  But one of the personalities turned out to be very fascinating.  His name was Suddi, and he was a teacher at the Essene community. Dolores talked directly to him during live time during many parts of his life through the host, Katie.  Sometimes, he was a young boy, an up-and-coming community member, and sometimes the teacher of John the Baptist and Jesus Christ.  And sometimes, he was already dead and speaking from beyond the grave.  I think Dolores presented her testimony in a way that showed a diligent scientific method.  This Suddi character could have just been some demonic spirit hanging around in quantum physics wanting to mess around with Dolores and Katie, playing games with them.  But I don’t think so because of the amount of work that was done. Instead, I think it’s another situation where science has to catch up to an observed reality.  And the information was interesting and valuable. 

For me, the biggest revelation was that Suddi described the library there at Qumran, which is a subject of significant fascination for me, and it turned out to be much more elaborate than archaeologists have so far been able to get their minds around.  It was a large two-story enterprise with a working model of the solar system, according to Suddi.  And it had ten planets in it, which Zacharia Sitchen has been saying for a long time.  This idea about extra planets in our solar system is a New Age consideration, just like the impact of astrology on the human mind and other out-of-the-box thinking about what’s expected.  But much of what Suddi described through his host, Katie, live time across thousands of years of perspective has been confirmed by archaeologists in a way that a 22-year-old girl would know nothing about.  So, I found it a fascinating testimony recorded in a remarkable book.  And I think there is a lot to learn from such a method of scientific inquiry and that it’s not such science fiction as many would like us to believe.  I think many powers on Earth have figured all this out and used it to attempt to control mass populations.  They can’t be trusted to use this emerging science destructively because only they have figured it out.  I think in her lifetime, Dolores Cannon broke some of this regression theory code and reported some interesting historical evidence that begins to open the door to quantum mechanics, especially the entanglement that can appear bizarre to our living eyes but make a lot of sense once you start looking at reality, differently.  But what a fascinating place Qumran was, and the role it seems to have played in the life of Jesus and the future of all human civilization through Christianity—no wonder the Romans wanted to kill them all off so severely.  But no matter how hard those forces work to do so, the spirit of rebellion always emerges to challenge the static order.  In modern times, it’s not the Essenes but the MAGA movement.  Only this time, I don’t think we will all be slaughtered on the mountaintop of Masada.  But the slaughter will be on the other foot, and it’s taken thousands of years to reach this point.  And continuously residing in the background are many rebels and rogues living in our cars (bodies) and influencing what happens on an eternal quest for freedom the way a soul wants it.  Not necessarily a living body.  Merry Christmas!

Democrats Tend to Be Bad With Money: The attempt to hide a lack of value behind chaos and emotion

One of the big takeaways when you meet people who have all kinds of psychological problems and tend to lean toward Democrat politics is that they are bad with money.  They don’t understand money, don’t like to talk about money, and tend to have a natural hatred toward people who do have money because of what money represents in the world.  Money is a measure of value; it’s what something means to someone else in an agreed-upon value of exchange.  Then naturally, those who don’t produce much value in the world or are insecure about that value and what people think of it resent money because it exposes them to all their insecurities.  That is why I say that the participants have problems in Democrat politics, which is why they are attracted to forms of collectivism to hide their lack of value from the world behind disguised altruism.  They are broken people who are otherwise detrimental to all existence.  And I don’t say all this to disparage people needlessly, but we have to understand why and how these people have moved into government employment and regulation.  As we move into talks about reducing government employment and the many millions on a government payroll who do too little and get paid way too much, at the heart of the problem is this problem of Democrat politics, the hatred of money, and the desperate effort to use collective services to hide their otherwise worthless, social traits.  Government expansion for the sake of social goalposts rather than the value of a job well done and work performed that people value and want.  The great fear many have about the efforts of D.O.G.E demanding, for instance, that people return to work after years of staying home and getting paid for it has at the heart of it this sense of entitlement that is expensive.  A person exists, and someone needs to pay them for that existence rather than earn their way through life for the value performed that people want.  This makes any government oversight a rejection of people who have decided to be worthless to the world because of their lack of productivity.

You see this kind of thing all the time in business these days, with woke politics and its attempts to embed itself into an American capitalist culture.  Hidden behind the complaints is a genuine desire to conceal their worthless nature.  Companies use money to measure value. In that case, it is that premise that liberalism has used through Democrat politics to hide useless behavior and attempt to disguise it as a value.  For the same reason that Joe Biden is working to sign protection for federal workers before he leaves office, allowing them to stay home under continued employment, by law, the same methodology has been applied to the world of business and attempting to attack profit and loss statements and replace those values with woke compliance.  Once that is the assumed value, all actions that relate to the measurement of money become irrelevant, and it’s not soon after that a company goes bankrupt.  Or at least performing poorly financially.  It has been stunning over these last few years because many of the money haters out there thought things were shifting in their direction to see how many open Marxists have emerged and how much they profess for more government regulation to impose their version of fairness upon the world, that ultimately means, to protect them from value judgments that are traditionally measured in money.  They want more government pay for less work done, and the gig only works if everything takes away the value of money to measure success and replaces those needs with woke politics. 

Karl Marx was always a money-hating despot who wrote his philosophy with an eye toward total social disruption.  And for people who question their value, Marxism gave them a home to hide in from the world in hopes that nobody would notice how lazy and stupid they were.  Karl Marx himself died a very broke person. The only reason his philosophy of communism and, overall, Marxism spread the way it did was that it was a weaponized idea that served the concept of centralized governments.  Over time, these ideas migrated into the human resource departments of most of our companies and their measurement policies of money.  As many scratched their heads about this activity, the attempt was to replace monetary value as a measurement of social compliance scores and to make dog-eat-dog capitalism subservient to fairness measurements imposed by the government for more government expansion.  And under that premise, of course, the government grew in uncomfortable ways and cost too much money to maintain because too many worthless participants were leeching off the system.  That has been my argument about public schools for years. Finally, more people are catching up to it, and we are now having honest conversations about it.  But it wasn’t always that way.  We were told to spend infinite amounts of money on public schools no matter the results because the measurement wasn’t in cash but in creating fairness in the world.  And from there, budgets ran out of control.  Most of the time, when you see a runaway budget, Democrat politics is looming in the background and is seeking to be subsidized by emotional measures to avoid monetary value.

Money has to be the measure to have a healthy relationship with the world.  And everyone should love money for the truth it reveals about people.  And we must have a government that honors and respects money as a measure of value. For instance, the Biden administration is purposely selling off portions of the border wall with Mexico out of spite because Trump is returning to the White House, and they want to make it hard for him to return to building the wall.  The wall itself is a statement of value that people crossing that border are moving from a Marxist government in Mexico to a capitalist government in America, and one is better than the other.  But Marxists want to hide that value measurement from the world with borderless sentiments so that people hopefully won’t notice.  That kind of policy ends up on P&L statements worldwide, slowly destroying everything in the background.  But at the heart of it is a hatred of money because it exposes bankrupt personalities from judgments cast upon them for their worthlessness.  Such people could be given millions of dollars, but they still waste it faster than they get it because they are bottomless pits of destructive personality traits that they attempt to hide from the world through government power and a change in how value is perceived.  In truth, there is only one way to measure value, and money is the agreement among the human race on how to express it across culture and social alliance.  Having a love of money because it measures shared value accurately is healthy and good.  And we must return to it for the good of a productive future.  And not fuel jealousy from those who don’t work hard to be good people and reside behind social policies that point to money as the villain when it’s the other way around.

Kash Patel is the Only Way to Save the FBI: Power hungry, corrupt, and pretentious, government employees need checks on their authority

The FBI was a wasted effort for me a long time ago.  When it was announced that Kash Patel would be Trump’s nominee to direct it, I thought only he could do anything to save the institution from destruction.  After what they did to Trump and many of us over the last decade, there is no forgiving them for their government activism, and really, a terrible job done.  And it’s a problem that goes far beyond the FBI.  I know people who have been in the FBI, and their mentality is very similar to the kind of nonsense we saw with Secret Service Director Ronald Rowe when he was grilled in front of Congress recently over the terrible coverage of Trump during an assassination attempt.  To avoid criticism, he went on the attack and cited his coverage of 9/11 and tried to play the “Hammer Time” card, “can’t touch this” because I’m a patriot angle.  It was embarrassing, but it revealed the same kind of arrogance we saw from former FBI directors, such as James Comey.  When Trump fired Comey for many good reasons, I was part of a panel that CNN called to talk about it, and I remember the attitude of the time.  Here was Jim Comey, who had just let Hillary Clinton off criminal conviction for her abuse of a public office with her email scandal and destruction of evidence, who was spying on Trump’s campaign and going on a personal crusade to destroy General Flynn, because Trump’s people were new and didn’t know all the rules of conduct.  Comey inspired the FBI to go on a witch hunt against Trump that would go on for eight more years and personally attempt to destroy Trump in every way possible.  Comey led a coup against an American-picked president by a civilian government, and his attitude was just like Ronald Rowe’s.  I’m important.  I work for the government.  Don’t ever question me, or I will yell at you. 

Trump fired Comey for his actions against him and Flynn, and he put in a swamp creature to appease his critics, Christopher Wray, and the FBI only got worse.  Trump tried to play the game fairly, and the FBI, from top to bottom, had no intention of being fair back.  They had government power, and they were hell-bent to use it.  And if you questioned them, you might be next for harassment.  And that’s what the CNN producers told me after we shot a spot for Anderson Cooper in the parking lot after I said what I said on the air about Comey after the first year of Trump’s first term.  It was apparent to me what was going on.  This was an out-of-control FBI, and Trump had just fired Comey, and the question at the time was whether Trump could have, or should have done so, based on the evidence at that time.  I used my usual velvet hammer response to talk about essentially a problematic subject matter when they asked me on the air if Comey had lied about his activism against Trump.  I also said that Comey was more like the fiction writer Ian Flemming, the creator of James Bond.  There was more about Comey that was fiction than was factual.  And for that, the CNN people told me the FBI would target me for talking against them on national television.  Of course, I told them I didn’t care; there wasn’t much they could do to me that they hadn’t tried to do up to that point.  I didn’t arrive at my conclusions about Trump recently, but I had a lot of experience with the FBI leading up to that point, and I thought I was being very nice about it.  All things considered.

But since then, the FBI has led the efforts to destroy Trump and his members of the former White House, especially Rudy Giuliani, Steve Bannon, and Peter Navarro.  All of them were good men, and as I told everyone several years ago, Trump would put them back into his second term in the White House.  Fewer good people pursue justice than Rudy Giuliani, who was personally ruined by the Joe Biden White House.  Rudy had the now-famous laptop from Hell that had all the dirt on the Biden crime family, and the FBI tried to cover up that evidence with personal destruction against the guy who had the evidence.  I have watched the FBI many times over the years destroy evidence to drive a political narrative, and I have next to no trust in any of them at this point.  I always think of the Christmas shooting in San Bernadino by a radical Islamic couple as one of the worst examples in American history of an FBI coverup.  Right after the killings, and the couple who performed the acts of terrorism had just been killed, the FBI let the media into the couple’s apartment under cover of “full disclosure” and protecting the 1st Amendment.  But in reality, it was the purposeful destruction of a crime scene by letting the press ultimately contaminate the scene so nobody would learn anything about the terrorists.  I would say most of what the FBI does wrong is purposeful, such as not asking the following next layer questions when the terrorists of 9/11 wanted to learn how to fly planes from a Florida instructor, not to land them.  When you try to pin them down with criticism, they get all emotional and try to play a patriot card, just like that loser Ronald Rowe did.  They try to intimidate away criticism so nobody dares to question their lofty power in Washington, D.C. 

Kash Patel, who had the highest security clearance in government and was a great guy under Trump’s first administration, wrote the excellent book Government Gangsters and was all over the movie Police State.  I think the FBI, in its current form, is more dangerous than open terrorist organizations.  We would be better off without the CIA and FBI most of the time because they have become so corrupt and power-hungry.  Just reviewing the FISA warrant process that they abused against Trump shows the playbook they’d use against any of us to harass us over political disagreements.  Then, when they raided Mar-a-Lago in an attempt to knock off President Trump before he ever had a chance to return to the White House under a legitimate election, give me a break.  The FBI should be dismantled.   The only way to save it, and I mean the only way, is to put someone like Kash Patel in charge of it.  And the people who caused all this trouble don’t get a vote.  We aren’t going to be pushed around by losers like the Secret Service Director or James Comey, who was far more interested in wine tasting than rule of law ethics.  Comey showed himself to be a protector of Democrat Beltway politics at the expense of justice.  And those who came before and after him were no better.  So there isn’t anything to preserve.  Anybody who wants to try to make the FBI work properly would do well to get behind Kash Patel and support him without radicalism.  And be happy that he’s not as evil as most government employees are, self-centered, and corrupt beyond recognition.  I was always right about them, even when CNN pressed me in front of many people.  And I said it as politely as possible, but it doesn’t change the fact that we have never been able to trust the FBI with the kind of power they have had.  And it’s time for them to pay for the abuse of that power so the country can survive.
