Defending Donald Trump’s Labor Practices: Politicians don’t understand what makes a good worker

Even as a Trump supporter I was willing to give Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz a look if they were to become the GOP nominee eventually, but not after the debate on Thursday February 25th, 2016 on CNN.  Cruz and Rubio showed a vast amount of ignorance when they tried to pin down Trump on hiring illegal aliens to build Trump Tower back in the 70s.  Cruz and Rubio both of Cuban decent supposedly representing Tea Party type values tried to attribute Trump to committing to hiring only “American” workers on his many projects.  Specifically they brought up Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach where he tends to hire foreign workers there for the seasonal social events that take place about four months out of a year.  Reports are that over 300 people have applied, but they weren’t qualified because as Trump says, most American help doesn’t want the part-time work—and those that do—(and I’ll add this for him so he doesn’t have to say it) don’t bring the kind of energy for the job that such a resort requires.  So he fills the vacancies with foreign workers with the right attitude who will do the seasonal work of one of the most exclusive resorts in the world.  I understand completely and I am one of the most patriotic people on earth.  But apparently, Rubio, Cruz and the entire media doesn’t understand the problem.  So let me illustrate it for everyone on behalf of people like Trump who find themselves unfairly ridiculed for elements beyond their control.

Of course such a controversial piece requires context, so let me provide it from my perspective.  If anybody does currently or ever has worked harder than I do, I’ve never met them—and I have met many thousands of people all around the world.  I’m far from a hermit living under a rock or writing articles from my mother’s basement.  Those descriptions do not apply to me in any way, shape or form. I know a lot about people and different countries, their religions, their histories, and their philosophic elements.  I am very good at seeing what is in people’s hearts because over time I have learned to read them by the kind of work they produce.  You can tell a lot about people by what they make in life—and work is something that most people reveal about themselves.  If they don’t like to work, they are typically very lazy people who can’t be trusted. If they work hard they tend to be good people in all aspects of their lives.  Hard workers therefore are good people, bad workers are not.    I have spent thirty years working every odd job that I think exists at every level of society.  I’ve at many times worked two full-time jobs at separate places for years on end, with only one car in our household.  During those periods I rode a bicycle to work all year-long in every possible weather condition.  Additionally I am seldom late or miss work, and I always give at least 100% to whatever I’m doing whether it’s flipping burgers or arranging multi-million dollar deals.  I like to work, I like to make things, and I love outperforming the people around me.  And I never let anything stop me from an objective—death, sickness—anything.  I’ve actually been in fistfights with people who felt so guilty by my work ethic that they’ve wanted to fight me to bully me into not making them look so bad.  This has actually happened a lot, and I’ve worked in some of the toughest types of places that there are—machine shops, union driven assembly plants, down-and-out fast food workers, janitors, tree trimmers, I actually did car repos for a time and have performed work as a body guard—so we’re not talking about powder puff golf club types or weekend warriors.  I’ve hauled around popular sports figures and helped them through tough times at late night parking lot brawls when they ran their mouths too much—I’ve been there and seen it all.  Saying all that, nobody from my past can come forward to say that they got the better of me in any way.  Nobody was able to bully me into some sort of compromise—on any topic large or small, and nobody can say that they worked harder at anything than me.  That may sound bold, and arrogant to people, but it’s a fact of life.  At 47 years old there are no demons in my closet anywhere in the world who can say otherwise.  That makes me uniquely position to say what I will next.

Just because some slob from a local trailer park who would rather watch Jerry Springer all day while on welfare applies for a job to keep their checks coming as a minimum requirement to receive their government money applies to a job like Mar-a-Lago it doesn’t mean they are qualified.  A warm body does not constitute a good hard worker.  Often you have to interview hundreds of people just to find one good worker.  It is very tricky business and it takes a lot of discretion and personal honesty.  Government people, and Rubio and Cruz certainly fall into that category now in my mind—assume that if an applicant applies for a job and they are American citizens that they are automatically qualified as a warm body for that position.  Not so.  Let me tell you.  All workers are not equal, in spite of what the government and the laws they write try to pretend.  Some are great, some are terrible, some workers are just flat-out lazy and want to collect a pay check for doing the absolute minimum.  When you are at Mar-a-Lago, if you are Donald Trump you want someone who says, “yes sir,” “no sir,” holds the door open for people, is generally of good hygiene and competent.  You expect quality. If all 300 of those reported applicants are not of good quality—they will not be good for the job.  A lot of times these deficiencies force big employers like Donald Trump to look outside of the country for good help. 

I personally love people from other countries because they remind me of my grandparents.  Both my grandparents had working farms and they were very hard workers. I grew up with great examples of people who weren’t afraid of hard work and they judged lazy people as worthless.  It certainly made an impact on me—I took many of those lessons to heart at a very young age. I never liked my teachers in public school or in college—but I always found I got along well with employers.  Teachers were people who often couldn’t do things in the real word and I knew that—so I fought with them incessantly because I deemed them too lazy to face the real world outside of the classroom.  Employers made things happen and I always respected that. The only people who I find these days, after two generations of complete social destruction by our education system who think the way I do about work ethics often come from other countries.  Immigrants from Europe (East Germany, Romania, Poland), Africa, India, Mexico and Asia generally work their asses off, and they actually enjoy it because they feel it reflects the quality of person they are.  They work hard in America because for most of them unlike their country of origin they get to keep their money—so they have no trouble working 12 to 14 hour days because they actually enjoy amassing wealth.  Many foreign-born Americans I know who have only been in America for a decade or so have their cars and houses paid off, and they still work a full-time job and a part-time job while they put their children through college with cash.  I love and respect that approach—like I said it reminds me of how my grandparents used to think—which is how all Americans should think. 

But many Americans who were born and raised within the United States and went through public education only to be trained to think incorrectly about most things don’t get it.  When they apply for a job, they think they are entitled to something. My generation starting getting bad about that attitude in the 1990s and the Millennials have taken it to a whole new level.  I am of a mind that I don’t even think we should have weekends.  If I had things my way Americans would have their companies operating three shifts per day seven days per week all days of the year except for perhaps Christmas—because that is a productive way to live life.  Work, play, and a healthy lifestyle all go hand in hand in my life and I expect that to be the case with everybody.  But too many people American born have been taught that a job is some kind of entitlement, that weekends are entitlements—and that sitting on their ass doing little of nothing but watching television is a right.  They forget that leisure time is not a reward for hard work performed, they assume that it’s a right to the essence of their very souls—and that attitude was adopted from the socialist trends in Europe that are just now catching up to Americans in the States. 

These days you have to interview a lot of American born people to find one good hard worker.  The best way to find them are people who were raised on farms because there is a good chance someone taught them early in life to work hard to some degree.  The worst tend to come from areas swarming with welfare recipients—it doesn’t matter their skin color.  There are always exceptions and it’s good to try to find them, but as a basic rule, that’s the way it is.    Politicians like Cruz and Rubio over the years have made labor laws assuming equality and opportunity to all—so there are legal restrictions to what you can and can’t do with employees especially ones that turn out to be less than spectacular.  But reality dictates flexibility and some method of recharging our education system into producing good workers who learn to live in an American economy instead of becoming socialist activists for a new generation—as they are today and have been for about three decades—at least. 

So you are Donald Trump and you need to complete a project ahead of time and under budget—you need workers who won’t drag ass like some dog with an itch.  You need people who will buckle down and get it done and then some.  Good work is worth more than money—finances are just a form of compensation. Trump needs people who will reach deep and pour their souls into one of his projects—and if you limit yourself to some limits a knuckle-dragging, banana eating political loser has established as the law from the perspective of know-nothings, who have never done anything productive in their lives—he might as well do as most people have and throw their arms up in frustration—buy a condo in Florida and play golf the rest of their lives—because unless you love to work hard—the pain in the ass that it is to make ANYTHING in America these days is unbearably difficult.  You almost have to be insanely hard-working to even try. 

When Trump says he wants to bring back jobs there is a two-part strategy that is far too complicated for someone like Rubio or Cruz to understand.  Nobody in government understands unless they have been in the trenches and actually done private sector work.  First you have to bring back the jobs that were sent overseas through corporate inversions.  Then you have to change the education system to produce workers who can actually perform those tasks.  It’s not so much about giving someone a job in America that Trump is talking about—it’s the wealth that comes with the productivity of those jobs.  Jobs in themselves don’t make anything.  But people do, and not all people are equal—even though politicians want to believe it because their pandering statements make the toothless chain-smoking, trailer trash, casino addicts think they are equal to a worker who wakes up looking forward to a productive day and hesitates taking a break because it makes them feel they are wasting precious time.  Any successful person understands this basic discrepancy.  Trump certainly does and he has worked within the law to find the best possible workers for his various projects.  But back in the Trump Tower days, there was no other option with the way labor unions try to bend you over backwards every five seconds.  You have to have competitive labor to protect yourself from socialist union activism.  Politicians created that limited labor aspect through their laws and policy which using the Department of Labor, heavily favors labor unions.  So if you want to build something, you have to think outside the box within legal parameters of course to find the best people for a project—whether the job is big like Trump Tower or small like job Mar-a-Lago.  Productive enterprise cannot be constrained by law and political short-sightedness to believe that a job of any kind can be filled by any ol’ warm body.  It can’t.  Jobs are opportunities for productivity, and that is a magical thing—and not everyone is capable of comprehending that magic and the wonder it often brings when it’s done well. 

Rubio and Cruz clearly didn’t understand the definition of good labor at that debate—but then again, few people really do.   But they do know big labor and how to make a pitch for their monopoly on productive work and the ability to shut down effort to drive up costs due to a lack of competition by the more ambitious.

Demons in the Snow: The anger of the establishment at Donald Trump

I can only think of the mountain climbing scene from Akira Kurosawa’s fantastic movie Dreams, where the ghostly goddess vanished into a snowstorm leaving the crippled mountain climbers for the first time unencumbered emotionally because the apparition had been luring them to their very deaths and was in fact a demon.  Watch the really beautiful scene below.  I’ve used this metaphor before, but it certainly applies to those against Donald Trump in the wake of the Nevada caucuses.  It’s hard sometimes to tell who the villain is and who is true when life has a way of beating us all to death day in and day out.  The reaction the media collectively had when Donald Trump won Nevada as I flipped through the channels at 2 AM was the same as the frustrated demon trying to use a beautiful face to disguise its true intentions.  A similar demon has been trying to kill America and after the Nevada results poured in, the spirit which possessed all our media pundits from all sides of the political spectrum lashed out in anger because they had lost their grip on the mind of mankind for what looked like the first time in centuries.  It was a magnificent scene and I stared at my television in the quiet hours of a Wednesday morning wondering if it had ever been real—as the demon disappeared into a wisp of spectral smoke and vanished in shame.

How big was Donald Trump’s win in Nevada?  Well, in Ohio, it is extremely important to pay attention to all the local races—the 8th congressional race, Ann Becker for State Central Committee, all the senate races, the school levy repeals, voting down all taxes that one can.  Even better it would be for Donald Trump to beat John Kasich in Ohio for all the lies that governor espoused to win his office then turn into a hugging monstrosity of a former man sulking in the husk of a body once defined by testosterone.  Just for his position on expanding Medicaid through Obamacare, Kasich deserves to be embarrassed in that March 15th election notoriously.  Before Nevada it looked like Trump would do well nationwide—and would likely win the GOP nomination for president of the United States.  After however, with Trump’s above the poll turnout—it looked certain.  The pontificators of mediocrity had to hold their faces to keep them from melting off—and it made me very happy. That momentum will obviously define the 2016 election cycle and of course Ohio is right in the middle of it.  On that March 15th day, a lot will be happening and all signs point to a complete revolution without guns toward a new type of government not rooted in either political party—which would be a great thing.  A seismic shift in political priorities occurred after Trump won Nevada and it would be changed forever.

I see the battle taking place on many fronts.  Trump needs to win on the national stage, and people like Ann Becker need to do well in the trenches.  It’s unlikely that everyone will win their positions, but the totality of the attempts equates to the greater sum of just one front being attacked toward positive reform away from the socialist trend we have been witnessing for far too long.  Often the fight is better than the results because the assertion of intention changes the behavior of the enemy.  The enemy in this case is those who have tried to use government to steal more wealth from hard-working people, cheapen the United States through open border policies, and allow the communist intentions enacted since 1958 to maintain their grip on both political parties and the mainstream media.  Year by year they have pulled America toward a United Nations controlled one world government.  The people doing those things to our country deserve to feel horror at what they saw in Nevada.  It was an impossible victory by an impossible candidate that nobody had given any credit to up to that point.  Now the realization was that he was for real and he had momentum that looked impossible to stop.

But the real fight across the nation is on Super Tuesday, a week after the Nevada win, then of course there is Ohio two weeks later where if Kasich holds on that long—he will likely be very embarrassed which would finally bring justice to those of us he betrayed so flamboyantly.  Analysts from Trump’s big Nevada win could only sum of the word “anger” to express why the New York billionaire was doing so well.  What they failed to identify properly was the source of that anger.  For instance, in Ohio, we elected John Kasich as a Tea Party conservative—because that’s how he sold himself.  We also stuck with John Boehner for a long time—long enough that he was able to graduate into the Speaker of the House seat—which was the third most powerful in America.  Within a year both of those idiots were out on the golf course with President Obama getting neutered by the progressive activist and quickly changed their tune into Beltway boys.  When we raised our concerns about the issue the Republican Party went on a search and destroy mission to destroy the Tea Party—which turned out to be a really bad idea.

After Kasich lost the Issue 2 election where he challenged the public sector labor unions and lost, I took up the task of becoming the ground leader for making Ohio a right to work state as a next step.  Many friends that I had at the time turned against me because the mandate from the head of the Republican Party—Kasich– wanted to run for president and put his political ambitions ahead of the needs of the state.  Under the tutelage of Bill Cunningham—who is a long time friend of the governor, Kasich softened himself up into the kind of progressive that Cunningham really is off the air.  On the radio he plays a strong conservative, but off—he’s still very much a Kennedy democrat, and he helped sway the wounded governor into taking much more progressive positions, and that included stacking the deck against me personally through the local Republican Party because of my involvement with Right to Work in Ohio.  My role in the whole thing was an obvious solution to the continuous tax levies that public schools were asking for to cover the extreme costs of teacher salaries that were statistically too high because of their collective bargaining agreements.  That is where my support of Kasich started to end.  It was finalized when he expanded Medicaid under Obamacare siding with the president in expanding the treacherous and unpopular government takeover of health care.  The establishment Republicans showed me personally that they were more interested in the collectivist aims of a sitting governor than the strategic advancement of conservative value.  Even though Trump wasn’t yet running for office, I became a supporter of the next person who would step beyond the GOP platform established by people like Boehner and Kasich and re-establish those lines based on actual conservative positions—like border security, Second Amendment protections, and a strong dollar domestically.

Glenn Beck just before Nevada really betrayed his audience by calling Trump supporters brownshirts, and declaring that Trump would win because he had a giant phallic symbol right in the heart of Las Vegas.  He went on to proclaim that Trump was somehow morally unfit to make America win again because he was one of the first casino owners to put strippers in them—according to Beck’s radio show on caucus day in Nevada 2016.  Beck completely missed the point of Trump’s dominance.  People are so sick of losers who lie, manipulate and talk out of both sides of their mouth, that they are willing to overlook things to have a chance to win again in America—that is how morally depraved we have all become.  Some people are willing to do anything to taste victory again.  And what is Beck’s proposal—a person who claims to be a libertarian with a live and let live attitude about things—who is morally repulsed by strippers and casinos—but then looks at Trump in a biblical way as being the anti-Christ.  That doesn’t sound very libertarian to me.  I’m not a fan of casinos or strippers—but Trump is a lot more moral in his behavior than Glenn Beck—and Ted Cruz.  Trump is open and has made his life a clear window into his soul.  The validation of that is in what he produces.  With all the gifts Beck was given, he hasn’t been able to really do anything with them.  He has a movie studio in Dallas—and has failed to really put his money where his mouth is—he could have been a modern Walt Disney—but he has essentially failed at that. Trump doesn’t fail.  He does what he sets out to do—he takes risks—big risks, and most of the time he comes out on top.  Statistically he wins much more than he loses.  The few things that people like Cruz, Rubio, and Beck point to as failures are only loses in relation to their lives which have yet to be filled with big successes.  Trump has had many more successes than failures and that track record can be seen.  The evidence is on the skyline of New York, Chicago, and Las Vegas.  Where are the Cruz successes?  Rubio had trouble with traffic tickets.  How’s he going to do anything on a scale where the nation can benefit?  I mean both men are still young, Cruz and Rubio, but they are untested in the matters of the world.  They may have had little legal successes, but what have they built?  Trump has lots of successes and people can see them.  They are part of so many American skylines.  They can walk up and touch them—they are real.  And people need that right now.

http://www.nytimes.com/politics/first-draft/2015/06/05/marco-rubio-and-his-wife-cited-17-times-for-traffic-infractions-2/

Even with Trump being a casino owner and someone who has supported the use of strippers in them to create the kind of environment that Las Vegas visitors expect—he is far more moral than the long faces who have been selling out our country to foreign interests for so many years.  I am actually surprised that Glenn Beck and many others are so angry at Donald Trump for having such success.  If they really wanted to fix the country, wouldn’t they think the same way as I do?  I’m not a “brown shirt.”  I’m not part of Hitler’s army.  But I’ll tell you what I don’t like, and yes I do get angry when I meet them.  I don’t like people who lose a lot and makes excuses for it.  When things got hot for Beck, he left New York and retreated from the scene—pretty much.  When things got tough for Trump, he dug in and fought harder in one of the most competitive cities in the world.  When Trump supporters harassed Beck at a caucus site in Nevada—it wasn’t because they were “brown shirts.”  Rather, they were people who are sick of losing and tired of people like Glenn Beck and other pundits trying to whisper us all back to sleep again—like a demon from Akira Kurosawa’s movies.  If something is out there trying to steal your very life from you—we have a right to get mad.  And we are.  I certainly am.  Short of an armed revolt, Trump is the next best thing that can right elections without open warfare.  If Beck really wanted America to return to a constitutional republic he’d understand the root of that anger—and realize that in the eyes of the hardy and strong across America that he is the new Cleveland Browns of politics.  He loses all the time and can’t seem to understand how to win even when he has all the resources to do so.  Trump on the other hand is like the New England Patriots or any team that Payton Manning is playing on.  They just win.  And when the demons can’t beat them—they accuse them of being less than honest.  But the results tell the whole story.  In America, results matter.

The Best Reason to Vote for a President Trump: Breaking down conspiracies and unleashing new technological economies

Not only with Donald Trump as President of the United States do we get a guy who will end common core, bust through EPA regulations which prevent new construction in America, literally take the lid off the economy, close off the open border insurgency that is currently taking place, be pro military around the world, take a stand against drugs, rearrange the trade imbalances created through devalued currencies globally, expand the second amendment, and stop the process of corporate inversions by restructuring the tax code to lower the taxes which inspire valuable companies to flee to less top-heavy cost countries—by design, but we get a guy who will actually take on serious challenges like the one shown about 20 minutes into the following Alex Jones video.

Obviously, anybody with a brain knows that there are shadow governments running global politics and they work through lobbyists in Washington D.C. to advance the strategies decided behind very closed doors throughout the European theater.  If America wants to survive into next century, that influence has to stop, but unfortunately most political candidates in American politics need money to get elected, and they can’t get that money unless they work with these shadow governments.  What is very interesting about Donald Trump is that even as a front-runner he has been willing to do interviews with Alex Jones who has a reputation as a conspiracy theorist.  Surely not everything is as Alex proposes, but where there is smoke, there is fire, and Alex points to a lot of smoke.  Trump, being a mover and shaker in very high places and a political donor himself knows all the characters involved and he knows what the real fight is, and he is obviously a fan of Alex Jones.  This leads to a lot of very productive possibilities under a Trump presidency regarding the influence that shadow governments have on our political process.  I’d like to see someone put an end to the practice, and Trump is poised to be that person who can finally do so.  Better yet, he has shown that he’s actually willing to take on that shadow government for the sake of American sovereignty—and that is probably the best reason to vote for him.

I have written myself about the problems with 9/11.  There is something very fishy about the whole thing—particularly regarding building seven.  No plane hit it yet it went down among all the other terrorist activity at the time.  CLICK HERE TO REVIEW.  The establishment has labeled people who talk about 9/11 with anything but patriotism “truthers” which is to throw them into a tin-hated conspiracy theorist category like Alex Jones.  Well, as Trump indicated in recent debates, there is something wrong with the Bush family relationship to 9/11 and likely the responsibility for the whole thing is likely the responsibility of Saudi Arabia.  Trump obviously feels compelled to reveal that truth to the American public and as president I think he will, which will go a long way to sticking a dagger into the shadow governments that are controlling oil prices and motivating trade imbalances around the world to “redistribute” wealth.

Under a Trump presidency, I think we will find cures for cancer, leaps in technological advancement and entirely new economies forming around invention.  Saudi Arabia is holding down the world with OPEC and secret agreements that keep the Middle East a major player in world affairs because of dirty energy.  As I’ve said before Thorum is a much better energy alternative and the only thing holding that back is essentially government regulation—which someone like Donald Trump could put an end to.  The way to shut down Saudi Arabia is to deregulate energy and lower the value of their oil through competition.  All these good things would happen because of Trump’s free market capitalism approach.  It would be better than the 80s were, it would be something America has never experienced before.  But better yet, it would truly end some of the terrorism that Saudi Arabia sponsors against the United States.  After all, they can’t bring much harm if they don’t have the money to fund illicit activities against us.  The best way to destroy the shadow governments of Europe is to defund them—to take the money they use against us out of their pockets and put that wealth back to where they looted it from—American GDP.  

Many of the good things mentioned above technologically exist right now—CLICK TO REVIEW, particularly in the field of regenerative health.  Virgin Galactic has recovered their SpaceShipTwo just ahead of the South Carolina primary and they are moving toward commercialized space flight very quickly.  For that to happen properly, and the huge burst of economic activity that will follow it, the shadow governments that present are holding back our civilization have to be eliminated.  If there is no better reason to vote for Donald Trump, it is for him to do his job of ushering in this new generation of technologically oriented economic activity.  So long as stupid little things like 28 pages of a 9/11 report are missing there are still too many secrets influencing the management of our country to protect people who want to hurt it with strategies designed by those who want to smooth America out across the world the way they’d apply butter to bread—not caring at all for what that does to American sovereignty.

It’s not enough just to have a constitutional oriented president in the 2016 election.  We need someone with the courage to take on the shadow governments and Trump is the only person in well over a century that has shown a willingness to consider it.  Trump when he had a lot to lose risked a great deal to take on Jeb Bush in the South Carolina debates and just a few days later, took on the one world government aims of the Pope.  Trump has a way of striking without making it so he can’t deal with people in the future.  Trump masterfully put the Pope in his place within the Vatican and he essentially knocked Jeb Bush out of the presidential race.  I would love to see a Donald Trump standing in front of the United Nations busting up the shadow governments that drape off it—then working with Richard Branson to get Virgin Galactic into space with commercial destinations, such as what should have already been built on the moon.  But before that can happen all the stuff on the moon that is classified, such as the reasons the world stopped trying to go to space in the 70s—needs to get out on the table and be dealt with.  I personally want to visit a Holiday Inn or even a Trump Tower on the moon within twenty years.  There’s no reason we can’t have such a thing—only the self-imposed limits we make for ourselves which governments and religion use to hold us to the control of shadow governments of European motivation.

We are on the precipice of the greatest advancements the world has ever seen—or we’ll fall behind and languish in failure.  Donald Trump represents more than just an immediate opportunity to repair American sovereignty.  He represents much more than that.  He could literally pull the lid off many big things that have always been there but are hidden behind scandalous incidents like Saudi Arabian relationships deep within our own government influenced completely by the money given to them by OPEC deals creating false oligopolies—making them insanely rich by shadow governments that benefit directly from that relationship—which goes all the way back to the stupidity of the Sykes-Picot agreement after World War I.  Trump more than anybody shows an inclination to unleash these old conspiracies and put them on the table to dissolve so that a new economy can emerge which would be beneficial to everyone—except the old money shadow government types.  If you have ever read The Great Gatsby dear reader you know how jealous old money can be of new money.  That is the case with the world against the United States.  There is a reason Richard Branson of the United Kingdom has Virgin Galactic in the United States and not in Europe.  We need a president who will protect that reason and pull away the veil for the good of the world.  But now you know why the establishment fears him so much.  And they should.  Because they have been up to no good for far, far too long—and when people find out about it—they’ll be very angry.

Most of the limits we face early in this 21st century are entirely artificial.  Those limits need to be removed by the next President of the United States.  Watch all the videos included above for support information.

Strategies and Conservative History of Donald Trump: Statements on Apple ahead of gathering under the tent of the Republican nominee

The trick now for Donald Trump is obviously making it so that Marco Rubio’s supporters along with Ted Cruz can jump over to him without feeling they betrayed their candidate.  So a change in presentation is due, especially now that Jeb Bush has announced that he’s out of the presidential race. John Kasich has no chance, Ben Carson has no chance.  Only Ted Cruz, and Marco Rubio—both freshman Tea Party senators who don’t have much of a track record are left to determine who will be the Republican nominee along with Donald Trump—who is also a Tea Party favorite.  Let’s see, I heard several establishment Republicans in Butler County Ohio say in early 2013 when they were trying to stuff out the various Tea Party groups—that it would all be over by 2014.  Well, that’s not what’s happening.

Because of the vicious warfare a lot of these Cruz and Rubio people will be reluctant to side with Trump—so it will be the New York billionaire’s task to pull over the supporters and finish off these two—which should be rather easy.   There are a lot of things to pick on that could sink their ships really fast if Trump wanted to do it.  Rubio is from communist Cuba.   Ted Cruz had a father who was a communist revolutionary—and he was not born in the USA.  Both have had trouble with their personal finances and listing their paperwork obligations to some degree.  They both speak well, but are obviously above their head in personal experience. They were good candidates when Bush and Kasich were the focus, but now, they are front-runners subject to exposure—and it will be tough for them—there is a lot of easy fodder for Trump to expose over the next few weeks.

For them however, Cruz and Rubio, they will try to paint Trump as not being conservative enough and that is something that will have to be overcome quickly.  Trump was already dealing with that in his South Carolina acceptance speech before the print was dry for the morning papers.  That assertion, which many friends that I have in the Liberty movement support, is laughable.  The definition being used about conservatism has been established in the Tea Party wake of conservatives mixed with libertarians—and it is that criteria that is judging Trump’s viability of conservative values.  It is a political definition largely formed by Glenn Beck’s portion of the conservative Tea Party audience and is not based on actual conservative value—and that is what Trump needs to attack now in order to overcome the younglings—Cruz and Rubio.

If I had to write Trump’s life arch to arrive at this moment it would probably go something like this, Trump was hungry to step out of his father’s shadow—he worked really hard and put his stamp in New York in a big way enjoying a lot of early success.  He was the Michael Jackson of real estate and he worked extremely hard to get there.  The 90s came, and the bottom fell out of many of his investments.  He was over extended and struggling to stay afloat.  His father who was someone Trump leaned on a lot suffered Alzheimer’s disease and finally died in 1999.  Also over this span, Trump went through two marriages, had to file bankruptcies on several of his properties to keep them from sinking everything he had worked for and he had to pound through a lot of public scrutiny—a lot of people who wanted to kick him on the way back down off his 80s successes.  As a developer in New York, where a lot of liberals control things, Trump had to donate money just to play the game.  There weren’t a lot of Republicans in the world he was living in—so he had to do what it took to help his businesses.  He survived the 90s with a lot of personal skill and triumph and faced the next century without his parents, and a company that needed him to bounce back and carry it on his shoulders toward new heights.  Most of the things Trump faced in the 90s would have forced lesser men to jump off a roof, but Trump just buckled down and solved everything with sheer tenacity and intelligence.  In the post parent years, Trump truly broke out to be his own man—and along the way he started the Apprentice on NBC with Mark Burnett and actually refined himself over the course of 14 seasons as he was a teacher to several young people on a very popular television show.  Along the way, he bounced around on political positions, largely because most of the people he was dealing with were liberals—but he never personally lost himself.  He never drank, did drugs or got himself into misdeeds with women even though he could have easily as a single person at the time.  He met his current wife in 2004 and she seemed to be just what he needed as a person.  Since she came along, his personal focus has been surgical and his businesses have grown enormously.  He could not be a liberal in any way because of the way he has raised his family.  His kids show his conservatism, his businesses could not have been raised to the level they are without him being conservative to his very core—because liberals cannot think right to become wealthy the old fashion way.  Trump has been vetted through the harshest fires and he has endured and actually excelled.  I can say that I know what kind of president he’ll be, and I don’t have to worry about him crowning himself king.  He’s far more complex than that—and more reliable.

Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio comparatively have done nothing in their lives.  They are professional politicians without much of a track record and a lot of youthful idealism.  They have not survived the fires of reality all so well—they are actually a bit like Trump was in the 80s.  They have yet to face any hard crashes in their lives—which they will—and you don’t want a person in the White House who might not handle things so well under enormous pressure.  Cruz has been a good debater and argued in front of the Supreme Court, but that’s a rather small thing compared to all the achievements of Trump.  And Rubio in his short career has even been caught on the Gang of 8 mishap with Chuck Schumer—which will be easy for Trump to expose in the coming weeks.  However Trump does get into trouble is with statements like what he made about Apple.

The answer to Apple is not to boycott them, or even to have the government force Apple to unlock the cell phone of the California ISIS terrorists.   Trump’s comment that the government “owns” the phones is incorrect.  Trump the CEO is used to operating as a top down manager which is actually needed right now in the White House because of all the dysfunction—but you have to understand that government is owned by the people.  I’m sure Trump understands that, and his intentions with Apple are good, but he’s wrong in assuming that government could solve the problem of encryption with judicial force.  It just feeds the anxiety that Glenn Beck and Ted Cruz are already feeding about Trump’s conservatism.  The government should not be in the business of telling companies what to do.  In the case of Apple, rather than sitting around like a bunch of sorry losers for two months complaining that they couldn’t break the encryption of the confiscated phone, they should have hired a 12-year-old kid to hack the thing.  If Apple can invent something, then someone else can reverse engineer it and in this day and age, there is a kid out there who can do it.  The FBI should have utilized them instead of looking to impose government rule over a private sector company. Out of all the good things that Trump has said and done on this run for president, the supporters of Cruz and Rubio will take pause with that kind of talk—so it’s best to avoid those types of impulsive statements.  The FBI should not be waiting for a court order to force Apple to cooperate, and nobody should boycott Apple with peer pressure to force their hand.  It is up to the FBI to use all their vast resources to break the code.  I do not believe them when they say they can’t get in.  What they want is an easy way to get at such information in the future.  They are looking to move the Overton Window for all future cases in favor of them—which is dangerous.

Even if Trump doesn’t win in Nevada he’s in good shape to win the nomination.  He’ll do well in Nevada—and he’ll get plenty of delegates.  Marco Rubio didn’t do well in New Hampshire or Iowa, so even if he surges, he’s still way behind in the delegate count and Cruz has consistently been in third place.  He has no support from his colleagues in the senate and that will hurt him at this phase.  He has peaked out.  He’s not going to win, so his supporters need to get their minds around it.  Trump at this point could come in second and third in several of the Super Tuesday races and he’d still be poised to win.  Personally, he would consider it a failure to lose anything—but in the game of numbers, they are all in his favor.  So it’s time to start thinking about the next step.  Trump is far more conservative than Cruz and Rubio—not by what he says—but by how he acts when the rubber hits the road.  And to me, that’s what matters most.  Cruz and Rubio have not been job creators. Trump has, and he has a lot more experience at the hard decisions it takes to actually do things in the real world.  There is a big difference between idealism and actuality.  Trump has had a long career of making success out of hard realities whereas everyone else has simply just talked about it.  Trump would be wise to stick to his experience and shift into that next gear that will make it easier for the Cruz and Rubio people to come into his tent.  They may do so reluctantly, but it’s time for them to start moving in that direction.

Now, one last thing about establishment politics, the NBC/Wall Street Journal poll that excited everyone but Trump supports right before the South Carolina vote was obviously a small sampling of known Cruz/Rubio supporters hoping to turn the tide of public opinion just ahead of the vote.  The Bush campaign floated it out, and all the major news organizations ran with it—even though it was the only one.  That is how deep the establishment is on the process and it should tell voters everything they need to know.  Yet Trump didn’t buckle at all.  He was calm and cool through the whole process.  On the night before the election he held three massive rallies which made news all over the state.  Trump simply out-worked everyone.  With Trump in the White House he will set a new bar as far as what’s expected out of a sitting president.  There is nobody running who works as hard at things as Trump.  And the establishment doesn’t know what to do with him.  They’ve thrown everything including the kitchen sink at him because there is one thing that Trump has that none of them do—including Rubio and Cruz—Trump loves hard work.  They run from it by default.  That is what’s wrong with Washington D.C.—to its core.  We need a president who will make “hard work” fashionable once again—and nobody can do that like Trump.  Calvin Coolidge was a very hard worker—but he couldn’t sell it.  Trump can outwork Coolidge—but he can also sell it—and that is exactly what America needs right now.  It doesn’t need a political definition of conservatism.  It needs a hard worker who can convince America to do the same.  And that is what Trump is after a long life of really hard knocks. He’s not going to lose this election at this point.  Because nobody is able to outwork him to the finish line—so if you are not yet a Trump supporter and you don’t want Hillary in the White House—it’s time to come to terms.

Who Cares about Star Wars 8: How new regimes attempt to erase history

I told you didn’t I—and I didn’t want to be right.  But I was, and to know to what extent, just look at the comments of the radio interview Mat Clark and I did on how Disney ruined Star Wars.  The Force Awakens is the Arachnophobia of modern film.  Kathy Kennedy and the rest of the employees at Lucasfilm were not able to seamlessly replicate the master—George Lucas—not even with the best special effects in the world and the music of John Williams.  The film struggled to make 2 billion dollars at the box office, which it should have easily surpassed if it were a good movie—just as I warned month before it came out.  Now the franchise is a cheapened disaster.  My family actually had tickets to go to the Star Wars Celebration in London this year—well forget that.  Since I have seen The Force Awakens, I have not played a single Star Wars video game, read another book about that particular mythology, or even watched the television show, Rebels.  It was very important in our family and now to me, it’s just a stupid fan film that has ruined the overall mythology established by the expanded universe through hundreds of novels.  I don’t care who Rey’s father is because she’s supposed to be Jaina Solo.  End of story.  The idiot at Lucasfilm who thought it would be a good idea to write out Mara Jade and Jaina Solo in the Star Wars mythology is proof that second generations do not have what it takes to do the work of the primaries.  So Star Wars isn’t a complete loss.  It is making many of the points I have always made about politics and people in general—just not for the reasons they’d like.  This leaves the announcement of Episode 8 an empty husk if irrelevancy.  The movie will do well by box office standards but the next edition will have a lot less interest than The Force Awakens did.  Star Wars has been reduced to just another blockbuster now-because of the mishandling of the franchise and destruction of the literary expanded universe and everyone will be very disappointed with the results of the upcoming films which will fall extremely short of Disney expectations.  It’s their own fault for not listening.

What is interesting however is how Kathy Kennedy and many others have attempted to cover up their own incompetence on the film set—as they are obviously lost behind the camera without George Lucas or Steven Spielberg behind the line, with revisionist history.  It is actually the same technique that our own history books have utilized to try to explain the origins of the human race and even recent events such as the history of America.  If you ever wondered why the destruction of the library at Alexandria was such a devastating endeavor which sought to erase history at that point, or why modern education puts an emphasis on Indians, women, and people of color ignoring many of the great heroics of American expansion, just watch what they are doing with Star Wars right in front of our faces—for those who read.  It’s the same mechanism that Bill Clinton used to stay in office as a disgraced president and the precisely duplicate manner which Democrats used to pass Obamacare on the eve of Christmas and without anybody reading a word of a document which took charge of a fifth of our American economy.  The makers of Star Wars deliberately destroyed a very well-known story line and forced fans to either accept it or reject it—and they took their bets that more people would be willing to accept the revisionist vision than would reject it because they had an intense love for the product.

And some people do have such a love, that Star Wars can do no wrong.  And they will line up for Episode 8 hoping that it will bring some form of nostalgia of the old Star Wars back to their lives.  But in essence, all they’ll get are the sights, sounds, music and maybe some old characters—but the heart is missing.  It’s very similar to when David Lee Roth left Van Halen and Sammy Hagar attempted to carry the banner—but it never really worked, because Roth had become the embodiment of the musical essence of Van Halen.  Michael Jackson was able to leave the Jackson Five, but the other brothers were not able to carry on without him.  Apple is not the great company that it was without Steve Jobs.  People still buy the products out of nostalgia for the past, but the impact is never the same.  There was only one way that Star Wars could have saved itself and that was to follow the formula of the expanded universe—which was to have Han Solo’s daughter Jaina become the Sword of the Jedi and take everything up to a new level.  But with Harrison Ford out of Star Wars and this Rey character an unknown whatever, the juice behind the mythology is lost like much of the history that is now taught in public schools—watered down political crap.  Lucasfilm has arrogantly moved forward abandoning their long time fans nurtured through the expanded universe expecting everyone to just follow behind them.  But they should have known better.  That is like asking fans of the Rolling Stones to accept the band without Mick Jagger—which I know they understand.  They could have written out Harrison Ford, but they needed his child to carry things on—and they didn’t do that.

Without the mythology as it was, before the fan film revisions of post George Lucas ownership, Star Wars is just another science fiction film on par with the latest Star Trek movies, or even Independence Day rip offs.  And by Independence Day, both the one done in 1995 and the second one coming up, those were rip offs of all the great movies of the 80s—they were not themselves good films.  Star Wars has lost its meaning and is just a soap opera for people who don’t know better—because they either didn’t read the books or they did, but want something meaningful in their life and will compromise anything to get it.  And that says a lot about why people accept certain things that are obviously lies which the government to this present time tells us, like America was bad because of slavery, that mankind evolved out of the African continent without the infusion of an advanced species which accelerated the process around the world as Neanderthals were banging rocks together just to make a loud noise.

These Star Wars movies, the proposed episodes 7, 8 and 9 are an insult because they deliberately ignore the actual story that came before it.  Disney really screwed up.  The Expended Universe was all real Star Wars fans had for a long time and it lived on in gaming, novels, and other media for several decades.  Disney took ownership and decided to re-write the history of Star Wars and make it into some board of director’s film instead of the vision George Lucas always intended.  I’m sure from his point of view; he’s just happy kids can still enjoy it—even though it’s not what he created any longer.  Unfortunately Star Wars now is just another Power Rangers episode.  It has lost its sanctity.  At least it did for me.  I really enjoyed it, and since watching that monstrosity at the movie theater on December 17th I have rejected Star Wars in just about every fashion.  I just dropped it like a rock in the same way I do what history of diffusion that scientists try to utter through modern education ignoring the role the Chinese had as a great navy of the world advanced beyond the years of Europe by several centuries.  Great civilizations existed in Siberia, China and now submerged areas around Indonesia.  Additionally, North America was a hot bed of human activity long before the Jews escaped the Pharaoh in Egypt.  And forever Jaina Solo was the star of the Star Wars universe before revisionists sought to change everything and turn the story into a much more progressive tool than it otherwise had been.  And that is just a shame.  It won’t be the first time, and it’s certainly not the last.  Disney will learn their lesson on the next films.  But unfortunately, the human race makes the same mistakes time and time again—and they show no signs of learning anything from the past.

Judge Craig Hedric and Larry Flint–One in the Same: The Champagne Club trying to bring evil to West Chester

 

Apparently Judge Craig Hedric from Butler County loves sexually charged environments intended to corrupt the morality of the human race through sheer decadence and meandering ambiguity.  While the Champagne Club from the god forsaken hell hole of Ft. Wayne, Indiana could have more appropriately located their swingers club in the diabolically ruined neighboring Fairfield area, they picked West Chester just across the border to take a swipe at the family wholesomeness that the people and management there have carefully nurtured for over three decades.  Sadly, Judge Hedric, who is nearly a neighbor of mine and is an avid sports fan decided that he wanted to allow a progressive intrusion into the neighboring southern township—perhaps for closer proximity.  You just never know about people these days, even judges from conservative areas.  West Chester trustees wisely tried to fight back the intrusion but the law was interpreted by Hedric in the following fashion as reported by Channel 9 News.

WEST CHESTER TOWNSHIP, Ohio — Butler County Pleas Judge Craig Hedric ruled Tuesday that West Chester Township officials improperly rescinded a permit for a planned swinger’s club.

After a swell of community outrage surrounding the upcoming opening of the Champagne Club, West Chester Township trustees approved a moratorium on “sexual encounter establishments” in November.

The West Chester Board of Trustees considered and approved a moratorium on the licensing and permitting of “sexual encounter establishments” and similar uses in the Township, according to spokeswoman Barb Wilson.

The owners of the Champagne Club out of Fort Wayne, Indiana, wanted to open a second location in West Chester Township before 2016, but the moratorium barred them from obtaining a permit to do so.

“Our clients, when they went in there, were very open — they said precisely what it was they were going to do,” said attorney Tim Burke, who represents the Champagne Club’s owners. “They were assured they were in compliance, then the trustees got public pressure from folks who didn’t like, who didn’t think this was a morally appropriate use.”

In response to Tuesday’s ruling, West Chester Township Administrator Judi Boyko issued a statement saying “In all things, West Chester endeavors to execute in good faith, in compliance with all laws and rules, and with the best interests of the community in mind.

“West Chester respects the judicial appeals process and today’s ruling by the judge will be taken into account moving forward. With regard to the specific details of this case, West Chester does not comment on litigation.”

http://www.wcpo.com/news/local-news/butler-county/west-chester/west-chester-judge-permit-cant-be-revoked-for-swingers-club

West Chester might respect the judicial interpretation of the law, but I don’t.  The only way someone could possible side in favor of such a skanky low class-operation as the Champagne Club is if they sympathize with the swinging lifestyle.  I remember specifically how Larry Flint targeted Monroe with his Hustler of Hollywood store after he played out his years in jail after the fight with Cincinnati over his Hustler stores there.  You might remember the movie The People VS. Larry Flint, which showed the issue from the point of view of Flint and his diabolical desire to erode away morality under the flag of free speech.  Monroe tried to fight him, but they lost in a similar fashion being forced to host the embarrassment that has forever limited Monroe as a city.  Even though the little town along I-75 has tried to bring in classy establishments like the Cincinnati Premium Outlets, Richards Pizza, and the famous Touch Down Jesus statue, it is still an exit with a prison, a casino, and an adult sex shop—making it forever nothing but an overly glorified truck stop.

Newport on the Levy tried to revitalize the horrendous reputation of that city across the river from Cincinnati, but has fallen well short. There are still strip houses and illicit activity in Newport and that has permanently put on the handcuffs of profitable growth going into the future, because their reputation was and is so bad.  You can’t polish a piece of shit.  You can dress it up nice, and Newport on the Levy is very nice.  But outside of quarter-mile of that shopping destination, Newport is still little Vegas—as it was when the mob ruled it years ago.  It’s just a much more watered down version.

People don’t want sex in their backyards.  I’m sure there are plenty of West Chester couples who go to Cancun for scandalous vacations at the Temptations resort or to Vegas for three-way sex with some object of their desire.  Many people in West Chester and Liberty Township routinely go to New York where on Times Square women now walk around topless not caring if children see.  The internet is crawling with sex, so who is Craig Hedric to judge when the law presents an opening to favorable interpretation?  Well here’s the difference Hedric, the Champagne Club’s advocates are vile, evil, parasites seeking to lick the rot off the weaknesses of some of the best people of West Chester and they picked that location to stick it into the eye of all us wholesome moralists who seek refuge in one of the greatest places on the planet, the Miami Valley specifically of eastern Butler County.

I view swingers as sick people.  They typically are losers who get bored easily and put entirely too much emphasis on sex in their relationships.  It is low-level spiritual ambitions that I consider intellectually equitable to a baby in its first few months out of a mother’s womb.  Actually it’s worse.  A baby only wants what its biological impulses desire, to eat, to dispel of digestive activity, and to be cared for by someone who can move it around until it can do so on its own.   The sad thing with children occurs when their sex drive kicks in during adolescence and their brains no longer function toward intellectual growth, but toward sexual fulfillment—to satisfy the biological urge to procreate.  The smart thing to do in life is to never allow your mind to stop growing and to develop healthy attitudes about sex.  Have it, enjoy it, but don’t wrap your life around it. Not just marriage, but sex should be between a man and a woman end of story.  Anything else and you are spending too much time on sexual activity.  If sex occupies more than 1% of your total week, there is something wrong with you.  You can have sex with a spouse four or five times a week for an hour or so and be perfectly fine.  But if you are going to someplace like the Champagne Club for three or four hours on a Friday night, then spending an additional two or three hours with somebody else’s spouse, you are wasting too much time on sex and it is bringing imbalance to your life.  Sex then becomes an extremely disastrous enterprise at that point.

Who in their right mind would want something like that in one of the best places to live in North American—and West Chester is—along with Liberty Township—where Hedric lives.  Dayton is already a dump and there are several swinger clubs there.   They help keep that region an armpit of disgust.  Why would you want it in such a nice area?  The only answer that there is comes from the actions of the perpetrators.  They, like Larry Flint, want to spread their corruption to a new recruiting base to destroy and ruin many more people to fulfill their selfish and infantile needs for physical gratification through sexual action.  So to me Larry Flint and Judge Craig Hedric are one in the same.  Both used the law to destroy morality because they could–rather than functioning from the higher thoughts of philosophy rather than the primal desires of sex.  Swinger clubs have an impact on real estate values.  They have an impact on commerce.  And they have an impact on the sanctity of a region.   I often entertain people from out of the country and let me tell you this; it would be embarrassing to explain to them that there is a swinger club in West Chester.  When visiting their countries you never see it.  Sure it’s there—but it’s carefully hidden because it is shameful.  It’s shameful for a reason—because adults should be smarter than a bunch of hormonal teenagers who just want to stick their stuff into whatever presents itself.

Therefore, knowing all that, the owners of Champagne Club want only one thing by locating in West Chester and not some more appropriate armpit of a slum like Springdale, Evendale or Forest Park—they want to attack the integrity of West Chester morally, economically, and structurally in every phase.  And such an attack should be viewed as a serious imposition to the security of all our homes and chosen lifestyles.  It’s not a no harm, no foul environment, it’s a sexually scandalous place that only deviants would enjoy, the worst of our species, the pot heads, the sex addicts, and the terribly bad parents who are probably all school levy supporters as well.  And if the judge won’t protect our community from this insurgency of evil, then we need to explore other avenues—because apparently Judge Craig Hedric is up for something else besides the job he was sent to do as a Butler County Pleas Judge.

Patti Alderson’s Butler County Zoo: Featuring RINOs who eat a lot of green

Southern Ohio, specifically Butler County isn’t known for its wildlife—but there are enough RINOs migrating around that it rivals only the Serengeti of Africa.  This is largely due to the State Central Committee seat that the socialite Patti Alderson holds which keeps those RINOs in seats they otherwise wouldn’t be able to hold.  Ann Becker is running against Patti Alderson to attempt to set things right in Butler County and if you listen to the broadcast Ann did with Brian Thomas on 55 KRC below, you will begin to understand how Patti has loaded Butler County full of so many RINOs and learn what you can do about it.  What’s even stranger, given the sometimes intense anger that the Liberty Movement is uttering these days toward the establishment commitment toward RINOs (Republican In Name Only—people like Don DIXON) is that Patti listed them on her promotional website as a badge of honor like her own zoo listing.  That’s how out of touch she is.  Now a few names on her list, also shown below, are decent people—like Margy and T.C. Rogers.  Roger Reynolds most of the time is like a tennis ball being knocked over a net from Liberty to establishment—so he’s sort of on the fence—but most of the rest are clearly RINOs.  Not that they are bad people, but they are definitely establishment anchors who lean far too left for the current Liberty tide that is emerging.  To prove it, just click on the hotlinks below, and you will see the evidence.  Here is the information that Patti listed on her website promoting her ability to maintain the status quo by continuing to feed the RINOs of Butler County.https://t.co/3jNX1vRG7N

Patti is one of the most upstanding, hard-working leaders I’ve ever known.  She is a tireless community volunteer, philanthropist, and a top-notch civic leader.  Patti is one of those rare individuals who never stops “giving back.”  I wholeheartedly ask for your support for Patti Alderson!”

— Nancy Nix, CPA, Butler County Treasurer

— Todd Hall, Butler County GOP Executive Chairman

http://www.aldersonforohio.com/patti.html

The Black Rhino of the Serengeti are herbivores who mostly eat greenery—brush, grass and other plant life.  The RINOs of Butler County eat lots of greens as well, but this often comes in the form of paper money.  All the RINOs listed on Patti’s endorsement page are zoo feed RINOs who come to her home and charity events to be fed and have largely been domesticated by her.  She controls them, she keeps them fat, dumb, and happy, and she maintains her grip on their existence with her seat on the State Central Committee.

The Black Rhinos of Serengeti are almost always on endangered lists because they have been overly hunted.  To this day, they are a protected species.  The RINOs of Butler County are also a protected species—they are protected by the State Central Committee but in reality they need to be hunted and thinned for the sake of Liberty.  Because, they are over grazing and stripping away all the wonderful resources our fine county provides with a bottomless pit of hunger that always needs to be fed. If Patti weren’t so rich with what they want to eat, they’d erode away with the desire to have full stomachs that could never be filled.  So while we want to preserve the Serengeti Rhinos we want to hunt the Butler County RINOs to near extinction for the good of all of us.

Patti lists them above the way an African hunter might mount the head of her trophies on a wall for the admiration of her peers.  As she poses next to each picture of all her trophies she looks like a Cabela’s ad for new hunting gear.  Except Patti doesn’t just mount those RINOs on her wall, she breeds them first and is heavily responsible for the over population of RINOs in Butler County that we currently have—the insidious money hungry establishment types who are stripping away everything our county offers in favor of their full bellies.

If you want to hunt them and thin out the herd of RINOs that are migrating all over Ohio, then vote for Ann Becker to return the county of Butler to its natural beauty by preventing the overgrazing of the RINOs that Patti Alderson feeds so passionately.  Put a stop to Patti Alderson’s zoo full of overgrazing RINOs—and vote to preserve Butler County.

You can early vote NOW!

Proof Trump has always been a Republican: A 1988 CNN interview where “The Donald” was a personal guest of the Bush family

After several politicians attacked Donald Trump for not being a conservative during the CBS debate on Saturday February 13th 2016, have a look at the facts percolating from history.  Ted Cruz was about 4 years old in 1988 and Jeb Bush was still trying to leave his mother’s side.  Marco Rubio was playing in coloring books and John Kasich was still trying to figure out if he was a democrat or something else.  Yet Trump, who at the time had no real desire to be President of the United States was on top of the world and had done what many thought was impossible.  Well, here is a video from CNN with Trump talking about being a personal guest to the GOP convention of the Bush family and talking about why he was a Republican. 

Pass this video around to your friends this week when those struggling establishment politicians try to say that Trump is not a conservative.  The Bush family may be nice but they screwed up the economy and the whole situation in Iraq.  They brought us Clinton and the debacles that followed.  Trump had a reason to withdraw his support from the Bush family.  He knew them personally, and they let him down.  The evidence is in these videos.

Share this with everyone you can ahead of the South Carolina primary of 2016. The facts are the facts.   Watch these videos and let the truth fly free.

It’s RINO Hunting Season in Ohio: Vote out Patti Alderson and pick Ann Becker in her place on March 15th

If you ever wondered why nothing much changes in politics over the years it’s because the same type of people run State Central Committee.  The State Central Committee is the governing body of the Ohio Republican Party.  There are two representatives from each district embodying the 33 senate districts in Ohio who manage all the party affairs including day-to-day operations, fundraising, and deciding on which candidates to support and provide resources to.  They are the reason that certain people once elected are almost impossible to remove and are instrumental in maintaining a mundane status quo.  Currently in the Butler County region, which is one of the most conservative areas in America, Patti Alderson is the representative most responsible for preserving status quo politics—like supporting John Kasich—who might as well be a democrat, and John Boehner.  Patti has held the position since 2012 and has for years been a large political insider donating vast sums of money to political candidates.  Around Butler County, if someone wanted to run for a Republican office, they had to get to know ol’ Patti.

Patti and I don’t like each other.  It goes way back to the Lakota levy situation where I called her massive swarms of pro tax neurotic, guilt plagued area mothers latte sipping prostitutes.  Actually, it goes back further than that.  Her husband, who made all the money that Patti now enjoys as one of the wealthiest people in Southern Ohio was a supporter of mine in the No Lakota Levy effort to keep down the taxes in one of Ohio’s largest school districts in one of the most affluent areas.  Patti, being completely disconnected from the realities of how taxes might influence the bottom line of her husband’s business, was a massive tax and spend liberal type siding with the progressives advancing the incursions against property values.  To be honest I felt really sorry for her husband who I measured as a good man caught in a classic struggle with a wife who was out of touch with what her spouse did to make all the vast wealth she enjoyed.  He never complained to me about it, but I could tell from a distance what the situation was, and I felt sorry for him.  A powerful man like he was shouldn’t have to provide me with cloak and dagger financial support while publicly supporting a wife who was pretending to be a Republican while at the same time advancing all the traits of a ranting progressive.  It was clear to me even before Patti was elected to the State Central Committee that the kind of watered down politicians we were getting into elected office were because of people like Patti who were liberals in how they lived and only played the part of Republicans because regionally, it’s a conservative area and is required for anybody who wants to hold a prominent position socially. (COUGH, DON DIXEN.  CLICK TO REVIEW.)  

It came to a head between her and me when her tax increase supporters started taking personal shots because they were getting frustrated that they couldn’t win an election against my group, No Lakota Levy.  Several members who worked with me on that tax resistance group also worked with Patti at the Community Foundation, which is a charity group and she was using that to try to undermine my group internally.  So we proposed an offer to donate money to kids suffering from the political stalemate and pay for their high sports fees.  The Community Foundation at first was receptive, but then because the goal of Lakota schools in having the sports fees in the first place was an extortion tactic, Patti withdrew her support basically using me as her reasoning declaring that I was too controversial.  That forced me and my partners to create our own Foundation, which we did.  I put together a press release and we donated $10,000 to poor kids who couldn’t pay the sports fees at Lakota.  I gave the Enquirer an exclusive, did the usual WLW interviews and did press for Channel 5, 9 and 12.  Shortly after that Patti came after me directly joining with the Lakota school board to discredit me any way she could.  They went for my jugular.  If I had been a normal person, I might have been totally destroyed—and that’s the way Patti Alderson rolls, and how Republicans in Butler County have held on to their seats of power.  She’s not alone, but she’s a major player—because of the wealth her family enjoys now.  I said what I said about her supporters because it was obvious she was working with Lakota to use children to drive up tax increases and it personally made me sick—because she called herself a Republican.  Most of the men went along with the tax hungry wives because they wanted peace in their households so I needed to illustrate the situation the way I am uniquely positioned to do.  CLICK HERE TO REVIEW.

Well times change and now my friend Ann Becker and a partner of her acquaintance Walter Simms are running against Patti to unseat her. I know it’s hard for Ann because she and Patti were always pretty good friends but the big difference is that Ann cannot pretend to be a Republican—she just is to the core of her personality.   Being a Republican to Ann actually means something—it’s not a social-climbing device intended to get into the latest charity parties hosted by the Chamber.  To Ann, being a Republican is serious business and it has been her mission since I’ve known her to return our government mechanisms to a constitutional republic, not a society of bootlickers trying to appease people like Patti who want to be everything to everybody.  So guess who I’m supporting for State Central Committee?

Dear reader, if you want to make me happy—if you’d like to pay me back for all the years you’ve enjoyed reading these words and all the antics on radio broadcasts, and calling it like it is—then show up to vote to destroy Patti Alderson politically.  Can you do that little thing for me?  Vote for Ann and be sure to utterly destroy Patti Alderson.  Patti is not a Republican.  She was one of the first people we identified as a RINO way back leading up to 2012.  The more I learned about her the more obvious it was.  If she wasn’t she wouldn’t have worked so hard to personally destroy me just for standing in the way of higher taxes she desired.  What she did I will never forget or forgive and I’m absolutely sure I’m not the only one.  I don’t wish her and her husband harm physically, but Patti shouldn’t be involved in politics unless she wants to host a fund-raiser.  She should not have her hands on the daily operations of the Republican Party in any legislative fashion.  She is a Kasich supporter; it is because of people like her that we have Jeb Bush still thinking he should run for president.  She helped keep Boehner in power longer than he should have been and helped swipe away challengers to his seat with mechanisms of similar manipulative aggression as she showed to me—just for being in the way of what she wanted.

I know Ann inside and out—I know her very heart and I am certain that she can be trusted with such an important seat of power.  Honestly we need 66 Ann Becker types on the State Central Committee but I can handle two for now, Ann herself and her partner in this endeavor Walter Simms.  I met Walter’s wife just the other day and I could see on her face that Walter had her permission to be a real fighter for the sanctity of the Republican Party.  When I saw her face I actually thought of Patti’s husband and how he projected the opposite sentiment.  For his sake, I wish Patti hadn’t made the decision to become public property by running for office—because a lot of this is embarrassing for his family.  For his sake I wish they could just stay shadow donors—because then stories like this could just stay in the kitchens and living rooms of Butler County.  But she decided to be a public person, so that puts the issue out there for debate, and her character and motivations certainly deserve scrutiny, because she sells herself as one thing yet advances an entirely different philosophy.  Regarding the old friendship between Patti and Ann—I’m sure it hurts to consider but it’s good strategically to keep you enemies close so you might influence their behavior.  Fortunately for all of us, Ann was never seduced into the manipulative arms of the latté sippers which made up Patti’s core group of levy supporters and progressive social insurgents.

Another name who was on No Lakota Levy with me was Todd Hall, who now runs the Republican Party.  I liked Todd, but we haven’t spoken much since that time because when Patti put down the gauntlet on the men in the Republican Party at the time they had to pick sides.  His attitude toward me was like the kid who was playing with the neighborhood rebel and his parents were putting a stop to it.  I understood of course.  It takes courage to stay by the side of people who are going against the grain.  Unfortunately for the Republican Party, the same kind of thing happens every day, whether the target is David Kern of Liberty Township, or J.D. Winteregg who was challenging John Boehner’s seat a few years ago.  Or, Ann Becker herself being booted out of a John Kasich Rally for protesting Common Core.  Todd was just doing what his bosses told him too—even though he was supposed to be running the party.  The sad thing about that is Patti let that happen to her old friend in such an embarrassing way.  If that’s how she treats friends and in my case, neighbors who her husband supported—just think of how she’ll treat people she doesn’t care about.

Do the Republican Party a favor—boot her ass out on March 15th.  Early voting begins on February 17th.  I’ll likely be in line to cast my vote in favor of Ann first.  She’s a great person and someone who is tested under fire.  She is unflappable.  She cannot be corrupted.  She may be a bit too idealistic at times, but that only helps her in this kind of fight.  Patti is entrenched and it won’t be easy to get rid of her. So it will take everything you’ve got dear reader to dispose of her politically.  But this is your chance to do so.  Don’t blow it!  Vote for Ann Becker and Walter Simms for District 4 State Central Committee and take a very important step toward fixing the Republican Party for the next generation.  It’s RINO hunting season and Patti is the mama bear.  With her out of power, the cubs will be easy—metaphorically speaking of course.

A Review of the 8th District Congressional Representatives: Learning from Boehner before deciding who will hold his old seat next

Gosh, it’s been around 6 to 7 years of effort, but you can clearly see how the Tea Party has shaped local and national elections.   I remember how it was back then, and I can clearly see it now.  On the national stage Donald Trump, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz and Rand Paul were all heavy Tea Party candidates and three of those four are current front runners as the primary season is starting.  Old traditional politicians like John Boehner under great pressure vacated his 8th District Congressional seat in Ohio—to a large extent because of the Tea Party, especially in his home town.  A silent insurrection has been taking place on the Republican Central Committee behind the scenes and the politics under the feet of Boehner changed into something unrecognizable to him and his donor base.  It was never anything against Boehner, but he made himself a public person, and that meant he had to make a choice.  The West Chester Tea Party expected him to be authentic, even if the Washington lobbyist culture was fine with people who were Republican in Name Only.  So John resigned and now in early 2016 there will be an election starting on March 15th to fill his seat.  And out of all the forums to flush out the new candidates, the West Chester Tea Party was at the heart of vetting those future politicians.  Not everyone running showed up, but the most relevant did and they can be seen in the following video.  It is interesting to watch how the political dialogue has changed over that relatively short period of time.  A lot of the things discussed in this video would have been avoided before 2010 by all politicians.  Things have certainly changed.

So who’s my pick after watching that video, well for me it’s quite clear—it’s Warren Davidson.  I would have liked to have had J.D. Winteregg and Jim Spurlino speak at the event, but they were no shows.  In the past I have supported J.D., but if you can’t make it to the West Chester Tea Party events in the south of the 8th District, then those candidates don’t really want to win.  You have to get those people on your side, or you won’t win the 8th District.  Just some friendly advice—guys.  Warren Davidson out of all the candidates on stage at Butler Tech was the clear front-runner.  There were things about some of the other candidates that I liked, but they weren’t the type of people who could hope to survive in the emerging Washington landscape.  I watched Warren even when he wasn’t speaking.  He didn’t make any disrespectful faces when the other candidates were talking—even when what was sometimes said came out bizarrely.  With Warren, it’s what he didn’t say that told me he was ready to stand up against the lobbyists of K-Street and represent the 8th District correctly.  I spoke to him after the debate and measured that he was the type of guy who would still be a good representative even after a few years in Washington.

I liked Terri King, but she came across to me as an amateur.  She dressed professionally, except for her shoes yet had a down-to-earth approach.  That might be fine for a public relations person working at the county fair, but representing the 8th District in a far away land wraith with evil takes a thick skin and a steady hand—and Terri didn’t show me that she could do anything but complain like a born again Christian at the treachery before her.  You can tell a lot about a person by their shoes.  With her, high heel shoes would have been better, or work boots if she wanted to come across as approachable.  But the slippers with the suit just didn’t work.  I liked what she said, but she projected to me that all she could do was complain.  When it came time for action, she reminded me of someone who would hesitate in a moment of indecision—for instance, it’s a late night vote before a government shutdown.  She has campaigned on the issue and knows she’s expected to stand by her platform.  But she’s in Washington making over six figures a year.  The media are camped outside her office door hounding her every time she heads to the elevator. And she doesn’t want to reveal that she’s ready to cave on the vote-because she likes the money that is showing up on her doorstep every day—for really the first time in her life.  The suit she wore shows me she knows how to impress at a first glance.  But the slippers said she wasn’t ready for a real fight.  I don’t care if she has issues with her feet, if she can’t wear proper shoes; she’s not ready for the hostile environment in Washington.  You have to be ready for war on every level, from the street fights to the most subtle psychological warfare and not betray the 8th District.  She’s not ready or able.  She might do better with some local seat in the safety net of Butler County, but in Washington, she’d be eaten alive the first week.

I met Kevin White before the West Chester event and thought he was a nice guy.  He was very polite and conscientious.  But he is entirely too systematic to be a congressman.  His military life has made him unable to think very nimbly.  He struck me as someone who would happily fall in line with House leadership and do as instructed—which might not always be bad depending on whom the leadership is at the time—but as an individual, he didn’t have the mind to represent the 8th District.  Through his handshake I could tell he was much better at taking orders than thinking on his own.  I’d hire him to be a pilot in less than a second—he comes across as very competent and procedural—but not someone who can smell a rat in a conversation with a lobbyist from a powerful pharmaceutical company.  To represent the 8th District of Ohio after the way that John Boehner caved to so much pressure embarrassing us thoroughly on a national stage, White is too much of that old type of politician, a guy trying to get elected because of his service in the military and little else—because of his willingness to “sacrifice for the “greater good.”  That is a bad recipe for a congressional representative because once a lobbyist can make a case for the greater good whether the topic is war or health care—people like White will lose.   I may support Donald Trump for president who sometimes says that things are for the “greater good,” because I expect congress to stand in the way if things get too rough to keep our constitutional republic in check.  We don’t need a bunch of softies in tomorrow’s congress.  We need tough people who are smarter than whoever is in the White House.

The questions presented by the Tea Party audience did a good job of shaking the candidates off their talking points and forcing them to think on their feet.  That style of debate likely kept some of the other candidates from participating.  The ones who did stumbled a lot—which wasn’t bad.  They may have felt they came across weak, but we had to see how they handled some curve balls.  Some of them didn’t come across strongly at all and they were clear amateurs not ready for such a high office.  I’m not going to embarrass them—they know who they are.  Even though I could say the same about Warren Davidson’s military record as I did about White—there was clearly another gear to Davidson.  He showed an ability to think quickly and improvise that was missing from the other candidates.  Honestly, that will be the most valuable trait for the next 8th District congressional representative.  Whoever it is will have to be able to walk literally into Hell and still maintain themselves as a frosty white honest conservative who can dish out the hits as well as take them without having ruffled feathers.  Davidson clearly showed that he had that ability.

Probably the most interesting candidate was James Condit Jr., who showed up late looking like he had just fallen out of a bus that he was sleeping in.  He positioned himself on the side of the stage sitting behind the curtain half the night.  I’m sure I had heard his name before, but my impression of him was that he was barely hanging on to reality.  However, he was very articulate and intelligent when he spoke.  He was the most at ease in front of a crowd and had great command of his tonal inflections.  He was either a very slick salesman, an Alex Jones loon, or a highly intelligent eccentric.  I can’t say that I disagreed with him even though he dropped some bombs during his speaking moments.  I’ve written about some of the things he brought up, as I sometimes agree with Alex Jones.  Sometimes reality is stranger than fiction and Condit was clearly functioning from that zone of thought.  But for the purpose of this article, it was clear to me that he wasn’t serious about representing the 8th District.  He’s only running for office to get some media coverage to play his part of Paul Revere announcing the conspiracies that are not only coming, but have already long been here.  Condit wants to be on stage, so he’s running for office to get a platform.  He’s not serious about the office—otherwise he would have been on time and would have presented himself differently.

I personally know J.D. and thought he should have come to this Tea Party event regardless of whatever was on his schedule.  It was important.  For what he went through to challenge John Boehner just a few years ago, I would have expected him to be there.  But he wasn’t, and Warren Davidson showed himself as a more than viable candidate.  As for Jim Spurlino—I like some of the things he has been saying, particularly in relation to Donald Trump, but he should have been there too—but wasn’t.  If he really wanted to shake off the controversy of the mystery envelope that showed up under his door—which I’ll cover in a later article, he should have showed up to defend himself.  To my mind, if he made mistakes that put him in a compromising position, he shouldn’t be running for congress.  If he can’t handle little temptations between marriages—he won’t stand a chance in Washington.  The girls like powerful men, compromises will be presented to him every day and you can tell in his campaign ads that his wife wants him to congressman too much.  This 8th District job isn’t for softies or guys who like tits and ass at gentlemen clubs.  I know lots of construction guys and I like working with them—and I understand the culture—they are the real men who build America.  There is a place in the world for New York New York in Franklin and burger places like Hooters.  Hard core helmet busting construction guys who work for people like Spurlino sometimes need that kind of environment.   It’s not good for family life at home, but it helps to bust knuckles over steel and concrete in the company of men.  I don’t do things like that, but I understand the personality type.  But in Washington, T&A comes with lobbyists hooks connected to them and if Spurlino made that mistake even once in his life, he’s disqualified in my mind—because K-Street is a thousand times worse.   A candidate in the 8th District has to be able to walk through the fires of Hell unscathed with their integrity intact every day, and looking into the eyes of all the people on stage that night, only Warren Davidson has that ability.

In 2016 with all that’s going on and will happen over the next four years, the representative of the 8th District in Ohio needs to be a tough guy who can shoulder temptation without yielding to it.  And he’ll need to have the same tenacity after four years in office.  Whoever it ends up being better be ready to wear the proper shoes, because the fight will not be easy—in fact, it will likely be the hardest thing they have ever done in their lives—and that includes life and death situations.  This is not a light election cycle. It may be the most important any of us will face for another century.  So you better make it count.
