Trading Government Jobs into Real Jobs: It will be stunning, but it should have happened a long time ago

First of all, most of the government jobs that have been created over a long period were not real jobs.  They were placeholders for administrations that wanted to look like they were creating jobs in the economy, such as the jobs reports we’ve seen over the last several years with the Biden administration.  But they weren’t real jobs driven by absolute value, so they were always dangerous.  Most of the jobs in the federal government never should have been created and were always useless.  So the talk that is going on now with the new Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy effort with the Department of Government Efficiency, otherwise known as D.O.G.E., where entire departments will lose their jobs, is a task we should have been utilizing for a long time.  Aside from saving a lot of taxpayer money, one primary reason for doing it is creating actual value jobs rather than placeholders.  For instance, 1.3 million federal workers are currently approved for telework, according to the Office of Personnel Management.  Only six percent of federal workers are working full-time in their offices.  Thirty percent are fully remote.  Suppose you are a government employee working from home in any capacity. In that case, you aren’t working hard enough for a value-driven job, and your position needs to be eliminated for lack of effectiveness.  There is no such thing in my mind as “work from home.”  I call that a vacation.  If you are not out there talking to people and driving work toward some objective, you aren’t working.  You are just talking.  In the United States, there is about to be a massive economic boom, and we need all the workers we can get to fill actual roles.  I also don’t define a work week as 40 hours or 5 days a week.  The government does not have the correct demands on their employees to fulfill the needs of the top economy in the world, and it shows.  And that has to come to an end. 

One of the reasons we have stagnation in our economy is that we have too many people working too few hours in jobs that mean next to nothing.  And when you study the amount of money that flows through Washington D.C. to prop up fake jobs that do nothing but give people a paycheck because there are no actual demands for the services those jobs provide, it’s no wonder why things in life take as long as they do.  The government is inefficient and has no desire to be otherwise or to justify their jobs through competition, and in the wake of all that, it has become a real weight on the American economy. Too few people are chasing real meaningful employment options and, instead, are pushing for a universal wage mentality where people are paid just to exist, which has really ballooned with the post-Covid stay-at-home culture.  It was always a dumb idea and would need to be reformed at some point in time.  The system was so abused that not cleaning and fixing the house would result in massive layoffs by the millions.  And what are those people going to do?  The job reports for a while will be very negative because all this time, they have been propped up by phony statistics justifying phony needs.  But as a good measure, if you work less than 6 hours per day, you aren’t working a real job that can be replaced and should be replaced by a real job that works much more.  Generally, it would be best to work a job where people scream for you to work more than 40 hours per week.  If you aren’t, whether in the public sector or private, you should be looking for a job that needs you more.  Not one that pays you to be a slot on a spreadsheet to show justification for a government office. 

I would say I have vast experience with this topic.  Recently, while I was a grand jury foreman, I spent much of the summer of 2024 at the courthouse every day, and I was stunned at how many good people were seriously under-employed.  No wonder many people want a government job; those jobs pay too much for insufficient work.  And they aren’t driven by any efficiency measure.  While I was in court all those days, the courthouse of Hamilton, Ohio, was very active from 9 AM until lunchtime.  Then, the place started clearing out, and the parking garage emptied.  For everyone, this was a typical day of work.  For me, it was a lunch break.  I typically work at least 10 hours per day on something.  Often, I put in 20-hour days that last all around the clock.  I sleep when I can, but the work comes first.  So, this court culture of government workers was stunning because I usually avoid those kinds of people.  I wouldn’t say that they were lazy.  But their expectations of employment were way off.  It is not even close to what reality demands of an employed position. There were very few people working from 9 to 4 PM.  And indeed, nobody was working more than that, which should have been considered normal.  The actual crime is that these government positions drag down the expectations for private sector work where the real need for one employee to do one position should exceed a 12-hour workday.  The labor movement in America, driven by a global communist movement, has impacted productivity in detrimental ways, and the most apparent jobs are government workers who aren’t realistically in the ballpark. 

There are around 168 million workers in America as of September of 2024 to maintain a 19 trillion dollar GDP.  To pay off the 35 trillion dollars in debt we have now, we need an economic expansion of at least double that, perhaps to triple that.  And we can do it with a combination of things, starting with the energy sector, to export energy to the world by stopping the war against fossil fuels.  That is the quickest way to ignite cash back into our economic system, which has been artificially suppressed.  Then there is the upcoming space economy that is worth trillions on its own, and all these jobs will need employees to manage them.  So we need more workers than that 168 million people to expand the economy, and we don’t need a bunch of slugs wasting their lives on a government job, working from their living rooms, feeding their cats.  Government employment must become private sector-driven toward real economic growth, not fake government statistics.  Much of that gap will come from robotics and artificial intelligence, which will help expand the amount of work we can do.  But humans in jobs aren’t going away anytime soon.  Likely, not in this century.  So we need to switch government jobs into real performing jobs in the private sector quickly and stunningly over the next two years of Trump’s next term.  And it will be shocking to many.  But remember that many of those jobs should have never been created by the government.  Many lazy people will lose jobs that weren’t that important, selling their expensive homes in the suburbs of Washington D.C. for a while before they learn to be productive with a real job.  But that whole mess should have never been propped up, and the actual value suppressed under phony jobs reports that were only lines on a spreadsheet to make people feel good about essentially nothing.  And in the new economy of tomorrow, we need to turn nothing into something quickly.

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

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

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

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

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

Steve Bannon is Out of Jail: What happens next is the fault of those who put him there, they can only blame themselves

I’m just going to say it bluntly, I will never forgive the people who put Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro in jail during the year of 2024.  The congress that threw them in jail with a corrupt Biden DOJ were obviously crooked, but what was done, purely for political reasons was the loss of freedom for people of a respectable Trump White House.  When Bannon and Navarro were thrown in jail after spending many tens of thousands of dollars defending themselves from a prosecution that was completely politically motivated, only to end up in the disgraceful loss of personal freedom that they had to endure for more than four months in jail.  Nobody had ever gone that far before and had always respected Executive immunity when it comes to administration business.  What Eric Holder and Lois Lerner had done previously, even Barack Obama, was far worse than what Steve Bannon did, or Peter Navarro.  But the Democrats went there, and so did many Republicans who showed to the world that they might not agree with it, but did little to nothing to stop it.  These members of Trump’s Executive White House team were good people and they were thrown in jail like dogs to have to lose personal privacy completely.  Going to jail is no small matter, going to the bathroom in front of people all the time without a door to close would be terrible, and to have to do it day after day after day.  There was no reason for it and the people who did it to them can never be forgiven.  And I personally never will.  I personally like Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro, and I think the only way to make things right in the world is to prosecute their prosecutors because they started it and abused the government for their own political purposes, and they have to be paid back.

I know the Trump campaign doesn’t need nor want to get pulled into a lot of controversy, they have an election to win.  But logic says that Trump is going to be back in the White House and when he is, a lot of bad people have to be punished for what they did.  If people didn’t want a revenge tour, they never should have started it.  As I keep saying to everyone who is asking me, if they want someone to blame for what is going to happen to them, they only need to look in the mirror.  Steve Bannan as of today is now out of jail, October 29th 2024, and I’m very glad to see it.  Nobody has suffered really more than the people at the Warroom, people like Grace Chong, Mareen Bannon, and Natalie Winters who have done what they good to keep the popular podcast going while Steve, the primary host, was doing time in jail.  They have put on a brave front, but it hurt them what happened to their friends, just because they happened to run the most popular political podcast in the United States.  Looking back over the last four years, what happened to people like Sidney Powell, General Flynn, Roger Stone and Rudy Giuliani has been disgraceful, and it was all done for purely political reasons, to use the power of government to destroy people who didn’t agree with the party in power.  Never forget the mug shots of the people in Georgia for which Trump was one, who were being prosecuted for questioning the results of the election there.  And nothing more.  Remember Jenna Ellis crying like a baby in front of a judge and turning on Trump to appease those powers that were in office when we talk about revenge in the coming months and years.   It’s not just that they started it and now we have to finish it, but if we want to have a great country we must have justice and people must be punished for the bad things they did.  They don’t get to point at Trump and declare that he’s going to put his critics in jail and prosecute his political enemies when it was they who started it.  They have to be punched in the face, at the very least.

I had quite a few friends who attended the RNC Convention this year in Wisconsin and they wanted to know who I wanted them to get pictures with, and my only real response was that I thought Peter Navarro getting out of jail and going straight to speak at the RNC was one of the most important themes of this election cycle.  There are a lot of things that need to be fixed, but this weaponization of government is the key to so many horrible things that we must rectify.  When we talk about the basic Bill of Rights, they were written because humans have a tendency to do these kinds of things to each other when they gain power, and at the core of all arguments about leadership and the role government plays in society is mitigating the failure of human beings who fall off the rocker.  We cannot have a big government with too much power that can use that power against us for their own profit.  And that is what happened at the very least to Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro.  They were being forced to acknowledge a criminal government or be thrown in jail.  And to show that power over them and the general Warroom audience, they lost their freedom and were insulted with a lack of privacy.  It’s as bad as it gets aside from actually killing people.  And because the bad guys had to respect the law to some extent, they only managed to put Bannan and Navarro in jail for four months.  In other countries, they could have easily been killed.  This is exactly why we have a Second Amendment and free speech at the heart of all our law and order.  Because without those checks on government power, the government would be killing off their political rivals without fear of ever having the tables turn on them. 

It is too much to expect government to be honest.  And when people popularly elect an administration as they did with Trump and his team in the White House as Bannan and Navarro were and will be again, a government that attacks that pick of the people broke and  the law in the most fundamental way, they sought to override a government by the people for the people, and to change it into something else.  Something ominous and oppressive.  And I don’t want to hear the crying for all the paybacks that have to occur.  All those bad guys out there should thank God that so many people have been willing to turn to an election for their redemption and not grab guns and take to violence against their political enemies.  Of course, that threat is always looming in the background and it’s the only thing that keeps bad people honest.  People cannot be trusted to act on their own to do what’s right.  They must have the fear of personal destruction to keep them in check.  And in the case of what was done to the Trump team over the last four years, since the bad guys did go too far, is the tables have to be turned, otherwise there is no hope at justice for the years to come.  We cannot have a good country unless those who truly did wrong are punished.  And now that Steve Bannon is out, and the election is happening, what happens next must happen.  The bad guys are bad people for a reason.  And they cannot molest our society without consequences, and the fault for that is entirely on their shoulders.  They did it to themselves.

The ‘Soylent Green’ Effect: Stepping away from the cannibal medical industry of socialized medicine

Cannibals are common in our past, and present.

My daughter and I were sitting in the backyard of her Liberty Township home and looking at the homes that were all around her property. Most were valued at a million dollars each, and we wondered how all those people could afford those homes.  What jobs could they possibly be doing?  And sadly, the answer is that they mostly all work in the medical industry to some degree.  Many of them are in the sales business, whether selling syringes that cost .35 cents to make to a hospital for $200 or X-ray machines and other medical equipment with massively inflated costs.  The markup in the entire medical profession is extraordinarily high, and nobody cares or does anything about it because the cost of all that waste is covered by health insurance.  So, the two industries feed off each other horrendously inefficiently, making everything cost a fortune.  Most of the Liberty Township, Ohio population currently living in those big homes have incomes that can even think about living in those expensive homes because they work in the medical industry or in insurance, making all that funding possible.  There is no way that kids just getting out of college can afford one of those homes, so what is going to happen next to a country that is already struggling with debt, held down by it in grotesque ways?  Well, that’s when I talked about the miracle of the recent SpaceX flight and the upcoming election win of Trump back into the White House, where many of these medical problems will be the subject of his next administration.  And the Kamala Harris people have been trying to use the health insurance issue as a way to scare people away from Trump because, as they say, the President doesn’t have a plan.  Well, the fix to the medical industry is more capitalism, not this socialized medical model we have today that only exists so that people can profit from the prolonged death of people.  I call it the Soylent Green model if people remember that famous movie with Charlton Heston. 

Soylent Green was a dystopian thriller from 1973 where old people were essentially put in a room upon their death and shown all kinds of heavenly images while they died off to give them comfort.  But the moment they died, their bodies were carted off to be chopped up into pieces and processed into food for society to eat.  That is essentially what our current medical industry is; it’s just an extension of the kind of human sacrifice that is common in all leftist cultures, particularly in the Near East with the ancient Canaanites.  The Aztecs, the Cahokians, and the Maya were killing people everywhere worldwide as part of their cultural belief system.  The consumption of human life is to sustain the up-and-coming lives, whether it be in the belief that gods would make it rain for that society or that the old need to be killed off for the young to eat.  The belief system is as old as time, and we have options as a human race with science as a tool only now.  Lots of options.  Using those same biblical references where God wanted the Israelites to kill off the people of the land of Canaan, it was because they were so wicked that Yahweh was disgusted with them.  And we are faced with the same moral dilemma today.  And many of those biblical characters lived for over 100 years.  In some cases, they lived for nearly a thousand. 

Notice how we haven’t talked about STEM cells in a while.  During the 90s, after Jurassic Park came out, people were always talking about cloning and rebuilding human tissue with stem cells.  The sad truth is that we are dealing with a medical industry that has turned to socialized science to produce a Soylent Green effect, and they don’t want to heal people, they want to feed off them.  They want to prolong their deaths so they can profit off their demise as just a modern form of human sacrifice.  Nobody needs to get sick and die the way we currently do.  But even down to the mortuaries, if we apply the same kind of science to the health of our society, a lot of the people who make fortunes off the death of the elderly will suddenly be out of a job.  We have an economy of death that is built on the notion of human sacrifice, and we don’t have to.  Suppose we applied the exact science that allowed SpaceX to land that excellent Super Heavy Booster on October 13th, 2024. In that case, we can also stop aging and heal people back to their prime selves using technology that allows cells to repair a person instead of gradually depleting them.  And the good news is that with a Trump victory, that is the answer to the health insurance problem.  Why would we continue to throw money at a health insurance industry that charges $200 for a little plastic syringe?  When Kamala Harris says she has a plan to help people pay for their medical costs with socialized Obamacare or Medicaid expansion, what is needed is a medical industry with a lot more capitalism in it and the goal of curing cancer and all aging diseases.  Not to sustain them long enough to live a ten-year life of gradually more medical bills paid for by insurance so that younger people can live in million-dollar homes for a while before they go through the same process.  What our current medical industry is cannibalism and just as stupid as every ancient culture that practiced it, which is the foundation of all liberal thought. 

Here’s the other math problem, and Elon Musk knows this all too well.  At this point, for the big picture, we need as many human beings to live as long of lives as we can get them to, and that is not part of the current health insurance discussion.  There is a belief in that same cannibal liberalism that we need to save the earth from those pesky humans, which is part of a mass killing plan that comes up with Big Pharma and the beliefs of The World Economic Forum.  People need to go away so the earth can live; that’s what people like Bill Gates believe these days.  But what we need is the opposite.  We need more people to live longer to colonize space and survive as a species.  The exact needs were present when the Bible was written by people who needed to survive long enough to carry intelligence to the future.  We are in the same situation now.  We are all there are for now because of low birth rates and the fact that it would take a century to produce the number of people needed for this space fairing enterprise.  And we all need to survive for a lot longer lifespans.  So when Trump is asked what his plan is for health care and he says he will plan to bring more competition to the industry, which a lot of short-term thinkers are terrified of because it will destroy the $200 syringe business, the truth is that we have to entirely scrap the old system and embrace a medical approach that heals people and keeps them working longer, having children longer and living as long as they can to transfer their lifetime achievements to future generations more effectively, directly.  The economy will have to change toward invention and preservation instead of decaying human flesh and profiting off the demise.  But first, we have to have courage, elect Trump, and change our entire society away from the Soylent Green model and toward proper restoration and preservation for thousands of years into the future.

What We Learned From the ILA Strike: We need more automation and robots to do the work that lazy people won’t do

Most things that are wrong in our modern economy is the fault of communism; it’s the process of thinking that comes from the ridiculously stupid philosophy of Karl Marx.  And that’s precisely what the International Longshoremen’s Association was during a recent strike, raw communism.  When it comes to these unions, notice they always start with “international.”  These are not American efforts rooted in capitalism.  They are globalist enterprises.  A few weeks ago, the dockworkers at ports of entry for shipping all along the east coast down into the Gulf along Texas walked off the job, which essentially crippled American infrastructure and it was all over pay.  This forced the shipping companies to throw a lot of money at those losers to prevent a complete halt of our economy, which amounted to an average of 4 dollars per hour for each six-year contract with an opportunity to raise wages by 62% over the life of the contract, which previously had an upward pay scale of $39 per hour or 81K per year.  And that is on straight time.  In truth, many of these people are making 300K per year once they had the overtime before this strike, so these dock workers are getting rich off an extortion racket that is essential to the American infrastructure and economy.  Their malicious timing was to perform this strike while a weak president, Joe Biden, was sleeping on the beach before Trump’s next term. They took advantage of the situation while they could and put everyone at risk with a hostile attack on our supply chain. It was reprehensible on a good day and detrimental in their intent and malice.  Fortunately, people learned pretty quickly what the leaders of the strike were up to; they were living in mansions and were not hurting for money for a job that wasn’t that skilled.  In the vacuum of a communist bubble, they had thought themselves something better than what they were, and they took advantage of America for their benefit, and it’s disgusting. 

I don’t like union workers of any kind on a good day.  I think they are worthless slugs rooted in Marxist ideology and have no place in American society.  I know these days, many union workers are breaking away from their leadership and voting for Trump for president, which makes us all friendly under a big tent of politics these days.  But it doesn’t change what they are.  Trump has successfully dealt with unions as a builder, and if you have a good personality, you can deal with reasonable people. Most of the time, union workers think they are doing right.  They don’t think of themselves as communists or detriments to society.  However, as a mob of insurgents who threatened to take away the need for labor if they didn’t collectively get what they wanted, everything they were was born on the pages of Karl Marx.  I think it should be illegal and punishable with years in jail to walk off a job that is critical to American economic infrastructure.  If I didn’t know the teaching profession was so worthless, I’d associate that field with the same sentiment.  But teacher unions have made themselves worthless with their brand of Democrat politics baked into everything they do, which is useless to a conservative family with children attending a school.  From top to bottom, there is no place for communism in our labor force, and the ILA didn’t care.  They wanted to take advantage of desperate people to extract even more money from the process while political disorder was a raging fire.  And what they did will cost us a lot more money in terms of shipping costs.

I don’t respect these ILA workers or most union jobs.  I have seen firsthand how unions destroy a company, and I have been in many fist fights in parking lots myself for breaking strikes in what they call a SCAB.  I, for the fun of it, made a living breaking strikes, one at a company in Cincinnati called Cincinnati Milacron, which is no longer there because of radicalized unions, and a company that built conveyor belts in the 90s for Amazon, well before anybody knew what Amazon was.  I was never one to join with group behavior, and when I disagreed with the behavior, the union stewards wanted to fight, which they regretted.  Many people from my past are ashamed of what they did and what I did to them, just to put it nicely.  I could tell stories about some of these antics that sometimes got bloody for quite a long time.  So, my hatred for these labor unions runs very deep.  To say I hate them isn’t a strong enough word.  But I do have much experience as a blue-collar worker, and I’ve watched the crane operations at the shipping docks who just went on strike, and I can say that it’s an easy job.  Certainly not worth 300K per year.  I’ve done lots of comparable work with cranes and jigs with very expensive hardware, and while it takes some skill to operate, it’s not worth the kind of money these unions extract for it.  They are only paid so much because companies fear through radicalism that all the workers will collectively leave their jobs and cause a work stoppage.  Even though Trump has successfully dealt with unions, everyone who has dealt with them can’t hide the fact that collective bargaining agreements harm enterprises by making them too expensive or taking too much time to do the task.  And very little good comes from a unionized workforce. 

One of those stories I could tell involved three union stewards who thought they were tough guys and wanted to fight me in an empty parking lot near our plant at 3 PM when the first shift ended.  I guess they didn’t think I’d show up, and let me say politely, they didn’t win.  The whole plant showed up to watch the fight, which was very embarrassing for the union stewards.  And that particular plant, once management figured out that the union couldn’t be dealt with, shut down within six months.  I knew it then, and I know it especially now: unions had no place in America, and they were dying.  And that is certainly true today.  Already, robots could do a much better job than many of the crane operators working these docks, and they never call off work or get sick.  Labor in an economy is always needed, but that labor doesn’t need to be a human.  It needs to be intelligent, and with A.I. these days, they are far more intelligent than these dock worker slugs.  I’ve known them from personal experience, and believe me, if you pay them more than $10 an hour, you are paying them too much.  Unions have made themselves worthless, which is the case with the ILA strike.  It only lasted a few days, but it shouldn’t have happened at all.  I would encourage all those companies involved in shipping to invest in robots for their future work.  And don’t waste your time on these slugs that affect our economy.  There is no reason these days to overpay for labor and to throw money at these people.  The ILA strike broke once people realized how much money these employees made.  America was not sympathetic.  They just wanted their stuff shipped to them to arrive.  Globalism has given these international unions leverage through a monopoly status.  And it’s time we change that, for good, with automation and robotics.

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

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

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

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

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

The FAA Has Held Up SpaceX Too Long: Government is holding the human race back from going to Mars

Just a little memo for everyone out there, especially those who thought compliance with government authority was going to be the future trend, they were wrong.  I’ve listened to complete idiots tell me for more than two decades now that compliance with government authority was only going to increase year by year, and I have argued with them to the contrary.  COVID destroyed people’s tolerance for government pinheads forever.  Government power had been abused, and people were finally pushed too far.  And that’s why Elon Musk was on stage with President Trump in Pennsylvania, cheerleading on a Republican administration that promises to cut down on government red tape dramatically.  Musk is not a Republican or a conservative.  However, the FAA process denying him approved applications for his next space flights for Starship 5 has pushed him into Trump’s corner.  Just as they have with many Democrats who have now crossed over and joined supporting Trump, a common theme has emerged.  The government has become too big and has all the wrong values, and people are tired of interrupting their lives needlessly.  That is certainly the case with Elon Musk, who has to file a lot of permits for the launch of each of his Starships which he is working through his company, SpaceX, to prove the landing of the largest vehicle to ever enter space and return to earth.  What the Starship 5 mission proves to do is re-land the Super Heavy Booster rocket back at Boca Chica with their chopstick system.  From there, refueling and reentry into space will become a common occurrence.  But first, SpaceX has to stick the landing of the Superheavy rocket to prove the whole capture system works.  So, there is a lot of urgency to increase the innovation rate to meet the missions’ needs because Starship is a key to NASA’s programs of returning to the moon, and this application process with the government is holding everything up needlessly. 

To make matters worse, and to my point, you can’t put the heads of lazy people in compliance authority to the genuinely heroic efforts of manufacturing.  It was never a math problem that would work, and Elon Musk has tried to play nice his whole life.  And the Federal Aviation Association did pretty well with SpaceX until the second part of 2024 when Elon Musk formally endorsed Trump for president.  Two iconic photos tell the complete story of the 2024 election cycle and precisely, this problem.  The first is the attempted assassination of President Trump, where he is pumping his fist in the air with blood running down his face after just being shot in the head.  Within moments of that picture hitting the public, Elon Musk formally endorsed President Trump for president, stepping away from years of supporting Democrats such as Joe Biden and Barack Obama.  Elon Musk is hardly a conservative.  But then again, neither is President Trump traditionally.  But what they all have in common is the difficulty in dealing with government bureaucracy where entire groups of worthless people get mall cop authority over the titans of industry with the stroke of a pen.  From there, the FAA stopped approving Musk’s applications for SpaceX flights, as if to punish him for supporting President Trump in any fashion.  It all essentially started with that photo of Trump right after the assassination attempt, which has backfired massively in the intention of getting rid of Trump.  Instead, it solidified him into the world’s consciousness in ways no political campaign could have done otherwise. 

The other photo to come out of all this is when Trump returned to Butler, Pennsylvania, to finish what he started, which was interrupted by that assassination attempt.  This time, Elon Musk came on stage to speak on behalf of President Trump.   And Trump was in the picture standing at the podium calm and resolute, in the same spot where an assassin’s bullet had narrowly missed him just a few months earlier.  And there he was, standing boldly to the possibility of death.  Elon Musk, the wealthiest man in the world and one of the smartest who has declared himself to the task of carrying human civilization to space to colonize other planets, was jumping around on the stage like a little kid, excited about being there.  The picture that was instantly famous is of Musk jumping in the air with joy at the prospect of Trump winning and deregulating his industry to the point where it has crippled his efforts in a way government pinheads only can.  The joy is evident on Elon Musk’s face, the empowerment of taking back the government from the hands of the truly terrible, the people who are worthless in life and have only defined themselves as demanding that good people adhere to some government mob. Otherwise, punishment will follow.  If you look across the world, especially across the regulatory industry, this communist push to make centralized government appeased has gone too far.  And now there was proof that even the friendly and compliant Elon Musk would be punished if he didn’t support the tyrannical mob in government to the point that they would stonewall the permit process for his life’s work.  That is why you can never give the government too much power over you; they always abuse it.

We’re not talking about making the world unsafe.  There will always be a need for the government to provide some regulatory bumpers to hazardous conduct.  However, the lesson everyone has had to learn is that capitalist practices are a far better regulator than government pinheads.  Market conditions are far more potent because failure has a more significant impact than some regulatory committees.  The case of the FAA holding up the next Starship flight has to do with concerns over the water system used for fire suppression having an environmental impact on the local wildlife.  People have had it with this EPA argument.  The earth serves humanity’s needs, not limit them to appeasement like a bunch of primitives sitting around a campfire throwing sticks at every noise in the dark.  And that is what the government has been offering with its ridiculous rules centered around EPA concerns, which has just turned out to be a cover story for outright communism.  And the mob mentality of the government these days who put their political opponents in jail and deny permits as punishment to those who don’t support them politically.  Over the last four years, Biden has pushed too far and tyrannically, and his relationship with a former supporter, Elon Musk, has shattered.  Musk was so happy about the revelation that he was glad to be on stage with Trump and put his entire support behind electing the President back into office so that he could get his company, SpaceX, moving again and not sitting around like a bunch of idiots waiting for the FAA to approve their launch application.  If the permit process for these launches takes more than a few hours, it’s too long.  And that holds in every industry.  More compliance to senseless mobs of government power is not the wave of the future—quite the opposite.  When Trump wins, he will put Musk in charge of improving the government’s work, including the ridiculous permit process holding SpaceX back.  Elon Musk will finally be able to solve that problem directly.  And he is jumping for joy, literally.  And who will there be to blame in the end, the government that pushed too much and too far to advance tyranny and compliance to a bunch of worthless people who should have never been part of the process, to begin with?  They will only be able to blame themselves for what they did.

If You Don’t Have People Trying to Kill You, You Aren’t Working Hard Enough to do Good in Life: President Trump is tough and understands

I have another saying that I use a lot.  I probably say it several times a week to somebody, and that is, “If people are not plotting against you or, in extreme cases, trying to kill you, you aren’t trying to do enough good in the world.”  It was a bit of a running joke the other day as I talked to one of the gun range instructors there with my wife while we were all shooting, and my lifestyle came up.  We were talking about my choice of concealed carry weapons, which I take everywhere with me at all times, and that is my .50 caliber Desert Eagle and my Smith & Wesson .500 Magnum.  My wife joked to the instructor who was pretty shocked to hear all the stories.  It’s not something I advertise, but as she said, “Everyone is trying to kill my husband.”  And it’s true, I wouldn’t say everyone, as I corrected her, but I would say many people.  Most people won’t go to that extreme, but it all starts with plotting and scheming for your demise.  And when they get frustrated with routine failures to remove you from their life, then they start plotting to kill you.  And to that point, I have an unusual life that I don’t talk about very much; during the day, I seldom take the same roads to places.  I usually find three or four ways to get where I’m going because back in the day, I had several personal friends who were hitmen, and they would tell me how they got rid of people, and I have remembered those things for my own life.  And getting caught at a traffic light thinking about other things is a good way not to come home that day.  Hit squads do and will case out a route they believe you’ll be on, and they will try to take shots at you while you are at traffic lights because, usually, those are very vulnerable times.

And I say the same thing about President Trump, I am not at all surprised that there are plots to kill him.  He has done an excellent job as a leader, which usually means there are many people who want to do bad things in the world and want to remove you as a pressure mechanism of expectation in their life to do better.  In a lazy world, people who don’t want to live up to the example you set as a good person will always ultimately try to kill you.  It’s a fact of life.  But the other thing that I say all the time, and have proved accurate many times, is just because people want to kill you, it doesn’t mean they can.  You can do many things to turn the tables on them and ruin their lives for their ill intentions toward you.  And most of those things don’t involve guns.  It’s great that President Trump survived the assassination attempts against him, but even as people were talking about them, my first thought wasn’t, “Did he survive.”  I expected him to survive. I would have been surprised if they had hit him because I understand the power of positive thinking, and Trump embodies that.  So, having excellent luck is part of that kind of mind.  I would say another 100 plots against Trump could be attempted, and he would likely survive every one of them because of his tendency toward luck, providence, or personal persuasion skills.  Ultimately, it is hard to kill people, even among the professional types, especially if the target is aware that attempts are active.  Once a person comes to terms with “death marks,” it is much harder to bring a person down, unaware.  It comes with being a tough guy, and Trump is, that you come to terms with the intentions that people have for your personal destruction, and part of the game of success is in denying them of their wishes. 

One of the great sins of our modern times, and even in our ancient past, was the corruptive power of appeasement that most people utilize to take the edge off those who would love to kill you.  Too many people who intend to do good in the world work very hard to make friends with people who don’t deserve that friendship.  Our society tries to make friends with its attackers rather than turn the tables on evil.  If a person resists the temptations of evil, there will be plots and schemes attempting to destroy you in any way possible.  There is no way to make friends and appease evil.  Evil must be fought, even to the death.  Giving people a chance to meet you on your terms of goodness is nice.  But it is evil to compromise with evil for your self-preservation.  Another thing I say all the time (I’m saying many things today that I say all the time, literally dozens of times per week) is why God said to put on his armor and trust him when things get scary.  He told the Israelites to take the land of Canaan, but they were scared of all the reports of giants in the land as their adversaries, so they hesitated rather than trusting God to take care of them when they had to face down a superior enemy with much more deadly force.  Ultimately, that is the story of Joshua. Once the next generation had died off, a new one led by the descendants of Moses finally attacked.  God had their back, and miracles of survival happened abundantly.  Another thing I say a lot, several times a week, when they tell me, “How do you know God exists?”   And I always reply, “Follow me around one day and watch what happens.  You’ll believe in God by supper.” 

And Trump learned this attitude a long time ago.  You don’t run around chicken of every insult and intention against you.  If people like you, then there is something wrong because most people don’t just like other people and suddenly want to hold your hand.  And there isn’t a government ever created on earth that can protect you from ill intentions.  The best way to protect yourself from the world’s evils is through competition, where the bad must compete with the good in open warfare.  Evil people often turn to plots to kill their antagonizers when they lose and have no redeeming path to success.  So when people are plotting to kill you, you should take that as a compliment.  It means you are doing an excellent job in the world.  If you are trying to appease those plotters with kind words and gestures, then you are sacrificing integrity for the possibility of living through the day by calling off their goons.  It’s not like you get up every morning looking for trouble, but if you plan to live your life free of other people, you will likely gain enemies and lots of them.  And when they profess and act in ways to kill you, then that is the ultimate compliment that you are doing an excellent job in the world.  It would be best if you never feared it.  But instead, knowing that should put a smile on your face.  I see that Trump understands it.  And now people who wonder why I am always smiling, well, you know why.  I love that Trump is genuinely a tough guy.  I always thought of him as one, but now that he has survived several assassination attempts, he’s part of that unique club that I respect more than any other trait in the human race.  And because people are trying to kill him, it means he’s doing a great job as President of the United States, unofficially at the moment.  But soon, officially.

What to Believe About 2024 Polling: The machine is protecting itself from a revolution against their control

Don’t forget that we are dealing with a massive criminal syndicate that has taken over the levers of government power and is using that power to stay in control.  And those looking for the easy money that comes with corruption are facilitating the enterprise, which is undoubtedly the case with the warnings The New York Times has been saying about election results.  Of course, they plan to cheat again when they say that we should not go to bed expecting a winner on election night.  It might look like Trump won, but as they did in 2020, the plan is to keep counting mail-in ballots, especially from overseas, until they reach the number to push Kamala over the top.   That’s what they did with Biden.  But this time, it will be much harder for them because so many eyes are on this election, and they won’t have COVID-19 as a cover for deviating from traditional election counting procedures.  But just as a baseline, we are a highly technical country; modern tools allow us to know and do things better than ever before.  However, suppose we can’t get a result on election night. We are witnessing incompetence driven by a need for theft and a whole bunch of problems that an established order has in controlling mass society with election fraud.  The New York Times is well aware of this.  Never forget that the company that owns The New York Times went about in the 1990s buying up a lot of media companies, particularly KFOR Channel 4 in Oklahoma City, which was investigating the evidence of a third terrorist after the Oklahoma City Bombing, the investigation was essentially shut down after the new owners showed no interest in pursuing the story and a massive desire to contain the evidence from the public.  The same thing happened in Cincinnati with The Cincinnati Enquirer when Gannett bought them, the same newspaper corporation that runs USA Today.  Independent media has been gobbled up by giant corporate conglomerates that are highly invested in global socialism, and they use the media to control populations on a mass scale.  Not to report the news to them but to control what they think.

So don’t expect that same machine to tell you the truth about what’s going on in the 2024 election.  I told everyone you’d see every evil effort during this election season.  And I’ve also said emphatically that Democrats can’t win if they don’t cheat.  And we are at that point in the election cycle where cheating occurs at the suppression polling level.  Suddenly, Kamala Harris, hiding from the world without doing much public engagement, is surging in the polls, creating the illusion that she is poised to win, frustrating Trump supporters with a cold reality that we might end up with a communist takeover of America.  Even Rasmussen has shown a much closer race between Trump and Harris than anybody thought was possible. Just remember, the machine does not want to give up power, and it is doing everything it can to suppress the Trump vote, so don’t take anything for granted.  Do not stay home on this one; get out and vote for Trump.  This is the chance of a lifetime to undo the machine that is visible when we see what BlackRock has done to the world.  There is a lot of money for this criminal class of people to rob us by the means they have been utilizing.  And that criminal class of global Marxists wants Kamala in the White House to continue that criminal enterprise. 

In all likelihood, Trump is doing even better than this. But polling doesn’t capture engagement very well. The date on this map is four days before this article.

It’s not that we can’t trust the polling.  The method is suitable for capturing trends; not everything is a conspiracy.  However, many of the polling companies want a particular outcome because they are part of the media machine, so they sample in the direction of the outcome they desire.  But saying that, Rasmussen is supporting Trump, so if they wanted to show him winning, they would sample more Republicans than Democrats, like many of the others are doing, of likely voters and report the results with the tip of the scales toward their desired outcome, to essentially make reality motivate action at the voting booth.  But as things are, even Rasmussen shows things moving in Kamala’s direction away from Trump, so what’s going on?    That’s why I say engagement is a far better definition for success than just a statistical sampling of likely voters who happen to pick up the phone from a pollster.   Polling how it has been done has significant limitations regarding the new trends from social media.  Traditional media that has been bought up by the globalist companies looking for international Marxism have not yet adopted the modes of new media and independent media that are driving modern culture, so their visibility into the support behind Trump is very alarming to them.  And traditional polling does not do a good job of seeing these trends because we are far from conventional politics here.  But they even say that Trump has the lead in the battleground states and can win the election with Pennsylvania alone.  I think Trump will do well in Wisconsin, Virginia, Michigan, and other Democrat strongholds.   But he doesn’t need to win them all.  It comes down to Pennsylvania this time, and Trump is poised well there because that was the location of the first assassination attempt against him, and looming in the background is a lot of anger toward the established order, thereby the first-time voters and freshly converted Republicans who are very energized to vote for Trump. 

Remember, it’s lot scarier for the Harris people.

If state polling or even national polling is showing a tie or Kamala Harris is pulling ahead by a few points, it comes down to the errors in sampling.  The number that will matter most will be the engagement factor, which is why Democrats are so concerned about mail-in ballots, especially from overseas.   If the election is close, it will be hard for them to steal the results, as they did in 2020.  But in truth, if the polling shows Harris close or winning, it is because polling only picks up a likely voter, not one who is voting for the first time because of Trump.  Their phone number likely won’t show up on a polling list to call.  Nor will they pick up if they don’t know who is calling them.  Traditional polling can give you an insight into trends, but it can’t pick up engagement, which is why polling wasn’t able to see how well Trump would do in 2016 or 2020, where Trump consistently did better than polling showed.  That’s because polling, even at Rasmussen, can’t pick up engagement, the people who are motivated to vote because the candidate is one they feel great excitement for.  But what polling can do is take the wind off of that excitement and hope through suppression results to keep people home believing that voting is pointless.  That is the kind of game we are dealing with here, and we see it every year when The New York Times publishes their probability of victory at the beginning of election night, which points in Trump’s direction by the end of the night.  But it doesn’t start that way.  These international organizations control elections in countries through suppression polling, giving the illusion that something is more popular than it is so that social mechanisms will provide them with the results they seek.  However, Trump functions outside that control, which is undoubtedly the case in 2024.  So keep that in mind when you see polling results, and don’t let them steer you away from voter engagement because that’s the point.  And don’t believe what you hear.  This won’t be easy at any level.  Get ready for a fight, because the enemy is dug in, and corrupt beyond belief.

The World Has Been Run By Stupid People, Like Kamala Harris: Poor people are manufactured by bad decisions and wrong ideas

I’d say you could go back to the first moment human beings gathered together to form some government, but the game has been occurring for a long time.  It’s not new to our modern era.  However, only through the creation of the United States has it been exposed the way it has been, and even created a discussion point about the difference between worthless administrators and those who know and understand how to do work.  And that was the big difference between President Trump and the communist loser Kamala Harris at the presidential debate in 2024.  When people talk about the debate being rigged by the moderators of Disney-owned ABC, they are making an understatement.  It comes down to one fundamental issue I have been dealing with all of my adult life. It culminates in the understanding of free people living their lives to their fullest potential; a massive scam is unraveling.  Who does work, and who is best in a position to lead in some way?  Out of all this, I couldn’t help but think of the very good President Grant, who shared many traits with Trump.  He was a good president who knew how to get things done and made the country far better off.  But his memory is wrapped up in controversy and scandal, and he is remembered as one of the most corrupt administrations in the history of the world.  This wasn’t because Grant himself was corrupt, but because people grew to hate Grant because he was too good and would not bend the knee to an administrative class of bureaucrats, so they smeared his name in history for revenge on how bad and worthless Grant made them feel as people.  The same problem can be found in the ruins of Saqqara in Egypt, where the tombs of their worthless administrators attempted to rival those of the pharaohs in luxury and social impact.  What we see play out is the desire many have for self-worth propped up by the power of government disguised as a social benefit for the sheer desire of self-fulfillment. 

President Trump got where he was by being better than his competitors, resulting from a capitalist system of social enchantment.  Kamala Harris is the product of communist sentiment; she started life as a sex toy side girl who was put into a prosecutor’s office because of how she appeased power.  That is the result of her entire life, which dramatically unraveled on the stage against President Trump.  People thought it was a good debate because she could talk, compared to Joe Biden, who was whisked away to make way for Kamala to sit at the top of the ticket, as Trump said, “like a dog.”  The problem for many is that Trump existed at all as a representative of competence and performance because the Marxists who have been trying to undermine American culture for many decades could not live up to the high example of Trump, so their conglomeration of sentiment manifested by Kamala Harris attempted to throw out all the usual stop sticks that have repealed the human race from success for thousands of years, and Trump wasn’t having any of it.  That made people frustrated with Trump because he was supposed to be more dignified about that disguise, more like Grant was, or the countless pharaohs of Egyptian society, and give the allusion that what the world needed were more bureaucrats acting as village chiefs and ruling through administrative nonsense to give the illusion of leadership. 

And to that point, every single economist and government commentator has gotten the situation wrong, which I ran into firsthand when I was young.  In my 20s, I was invited to many powerful shindigs, with the kind of people that made Kamala Harris the person she became.  They were always radical Democrats, and there was no confusing me with anything but a hard-line conservative.  But, since the beginning, people have tried to use me because of my mouth and see if they might ride my coattails to some successful enterprise based on my gift of gab.  So, I was exposed to many people who ran and taught things, especially college professors and economists.  I’d talk to them at these events about their views of the world as they would explain to me that the future of the American economy would be service-oriented and that all the manufacturing jobs would be overseas where labor was cheaper and workers there were more willing to do it.  I would say to them, “That’s not going to work very well,” they would then laugh and assume that I had a lot to learn.  Well, they all turned out to be wrong, and they were not very smart to begin with, even though they were teaching society through colleges all the same points of view, which all turned out to be wrong.  And all these years later, we see just how bad they were.  And it was their kind of people who were trying to push Kamala Harris under the door, hoping nobody would notice how stupid they were all along.  Trump and his successes make them look foolish because he knows better and doesn’t feel even a bit of desire to politely bend the knee to them to make them feel part of the process.  And that is the essential case Kamala made on their behalf. 

But even deeper than that, from the point of view of my grand jury service in 2024, where through many criminal cases, I could see the totality of this stupidity up close, with my unique perspective of the world and its history.  The primary cause of most crime and the defeat of major cities are the failed policies of these destructive Democrats and their Marxist ideas that never valued work and honor but excuses and victimization sentiment.  To protect themselves from analysis, they have just sought to build a government to hide the folly of their failed enterprises.  And people are tired of the mess they have left behind.  Trump represents achievement and quality without bending the knee to an administrative class of worthless bureaucrats.  Harris provides a mask to all the world’s problems in a desire to perpetuate the scam just a year or two longer for their benefit.  Ultimately, they can’t run and hide forever.  They have been trying for thousands of years.  However, under the premise of a free society in America where power was decentralized and put to good use through capitalism, the surviving characteristic of the human race is emerging in ways that were never actually expressed before.  And, of course, the world is angry about it; they hate President Trump.  But Trump is the unyielding character we all want to see opening up opportunities for everyone else.  This exposes people like Kamala Harris, all the political pundits of the world, and the majority of economists of the United Nations as phonies.  And all the people who taught them all the wrong things along the way.  I saw it firsthand years ago, but at the time, I would tell them, “If you say so.”  Maybe they did know something I didn’t.  I gave them the benefit of the doubt.  But as it turned out, they didn’t.  They were just stupid and sought to hide that stupidity through government expansion and an aristocratic approach to the power achieved through mass collectivism.  The world they have made with those approaches is a failure based on their sheer stupidity, and people are tired of putting up with it.  Perhaps, for the first time in history.
