The Disqualification of Hillary Clinton for President: What we have learned from Wikileaks

Just today I read an article from The Washington Post illustrating that Trump is setting the stage to never concede the election to Hillary Clinton.  My response was why would he?  Even though at this point the “scientific” polling has Trump in striking distance just about everywhere over the next three weeks, the real issue is that Trump is essentially running without a competitor.  Hillary Clinton, has shown herself to be a criminal on such a magnitude she would make Al Capone blush at this point, which was revealed through the Wikileaks emails of her longtime aide, John Podesta.  No wonder she deleted her 33,000 emails and wiped her server with bleach bit to destroy the evidence that she had on her personal computer.  What has come out from Wikileaks has been absolutely damning, even more so than people opposed to her politics would even consider a possibility.  The corruption is so deep, and so revealing that the current POTUS is even involved.  What we know right now is far worse than what sunk the presidency of Richard Nixon.  The crimes committed by the White House, the Department of Justice, the Clinton campaign, and the DNC are so vast that there simply isn’t any way Hillary Clinton could ever be president.  Here is just a short rundown of those crimes and their enormity.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/10/14/donald-trump-is-setting-the-stage-to-never-concede-the-2016-election/?tid=sm_tw

For those around in the 90s when the Clintons were in the White House this is how it was all the time.  From the time Bill Clinton took office this was the level of deceit and corruption that was blasted on the airwaves daily.  It was essentially the Clintons which gave rise to talk radio as a response to the vast amounts of corruption and death the First Family always seemed to be around.   If it wasn’t White Water down in Arkansas, or the Ruby Ridge Massacre, Waco, Oklahoma City—which given what we know from those emails it is easy to see how such domestic terrorist plots would be created as false flag incidents—or Bill’s multiple sex scandals—which never abated over the eight years they were in office—not by a single week.  The Clintons were corrupt from the start and they only seem to have gotten worse over the years climaxing to the mess they are now.  If Hillary would be elected president of the United States, it would only be to impeach her.  She’s not going to do anything but be a distraction from the inevitable.

The reason Barack Obama and Bill Clinton are hitting the campaign trail for Hillary and declaring her the “most capable” person to ever run for the White House is because that is the only way they can hope to not get dragged through years of court problems as a result of what we have learned about the Clintons emails through Wikileaks—what wasn’t destroyed off of John Podesta’s computer.  That is the reason for the constant personal attacks against Trump—especially by women.  Much to their frustration, none of it is really sticking—because it wasn’t true.  Trump likely flirted with women over his entire lifetime, but to outright assault them—that’s not Trump.  That is the behavior of Billy Clinton whose wife is running for President putting him back in touch with thousands of young girls working around the Washington D.C. area while his wife does daily cover-up making a plot from House of Cards look like a kids cartoon.

Without question Hillary Clinton’s team is considering ways to cheat the election by any means possible and the media is complicit in the action because all their lives depend on her winning—otherwise they’ll have legal trouble for the rest of their lives if Hillary doesn’t control the Department of Justice.  This is massive corruption well beyond the imaginations of even the most seasoned conspiracy theorist, and people are awake to it.

Hillary Clinton at the very least committed perjury when she destroyed her emails under a subpoena from congress—and that carries jail time.   To make matters worse, Obama knew what was going on and lied about it.  His DOJ worked with the FBI to conceal the evidence and keep Hillary on the presidential ticket causing what has turned out to be massive corruption at the highest office.  And the media is involved in trying to steer the American people away from such a damning story—but it’s not going to go away folks.  As things stand today this is far worse than anything we experienced from the Clintons in the 90s.  There will be books, talk radio, television coverage of this election for years and the massive international syndicate Hillary is at the center of will be discussed daily to the point where Hillary won’t be able to do anything as a POTUS effectively—except load the Supreme Court bench with liberal judges.  Otherwise she will be hid away in the Oval Office by her handlers until the inevitable disgrace removes her from office with more fanfare than her husband experienced when he was impeached by congress before his term ran out.

I live in an area with a lot of Trump signs and not many Hillary yard signs.  The ones you do see are in poor neighborhoods where a lot of people are addicted to government welfare programs, or at homes where people work for the federal government and want to maintain the status quo—homes of school teachers particularly who want their teacher unions to continue running up high costs against tax payers without results to back up the expenditure.  Otherwise, there are Trump signs everywhere displayed with a lot of passion—because those people see what’s going on.  But the Hillary people are living in a fantasy world.   For them to not see the criminal empire Hillary has put herself at the center of is for them to just ignore basics of reality in favor of a fantasy which will never come true.  There will never be a third term of Obama—which is what they are voting for.  Obama’s administration has already collapsed; they are just hoping to run out the clock before everyone notices.  Hillary will bring with her scandal that will instantly marry economic collapse on a scale the world has never seen before—and that will literally happen the moment she hits office.  When I see a Hillary Clinton yard sign I know that someone wasn’t very smart who put it there—because nobody with any kind of working mind could rationalize otherwise.  They are people in serious denial.

Hillary is literally running for her life.  Without controlling the DOJ she and all her contributors—including Obama—are poised for years of pleading the “fifth” in courts of law as justice will pursue them for the rest of their living days.  It will take years for people to sort through the Wikileaks documents just released this week and there are even more on the way.  For Clinton, a successful political career is over—there is no prospect of success now.  Stupid people will supporter her for the free stuff—but nobody of right mind will ever look to her for leadership and she will have legal problems for the rest of her life at a minimum.  So when Trump says she should be in jail, he’s not being rambunctiously “politica,l” he’s stating a fact.  She committed perjury that we know of, and likely much worse—and roughly 80% of the media is in on the game.  This is such massive corruption that they hope nobody will believe it—they are trying to hide these many crimes beyond such enormity of violation that people just can’t wrap their minds around it—and that is their only defense.  But with several weeks to go and a very smart Kellyanne Conway running Trump’s campaign—this information is a gift.  It’s also a gift to the American people before an election because it would truly be a tragedy to elect someone to office only to have them removed with scandal just a year later—because that’s what these Wikileaks show—a ridiculously corrupt government that would have to be removed by force if our legal and election system didn’t do the job first.  Trump is the only legal candidate running.  And those are the facts.

I still trust that the election process will allow the American people to perform justice even as our government attempts to hide its many crimes behind the antics of Hillary Clinton.  If it doesn’t then that is why we have a 1st and 2nd amendment—so that we can take possession of our government when it gets out-of-control, like it obviously has under Obama/Clinton over the last eight years.  Four more years just isn’t possible at this point especially given these dramatic revelations.  The information just provided on this article is enough to sink Hillary Clinton forever—by her own doing.  But it’s much deeper than that.  That leaves Trump essentially unchallenged and a media that will have to come around to that reality—or they will go out of business.   Jail or perpetual court cases from law suits is the only future Hillary Clinton has—because she is a criminal who has committed atrocities born from gross negligence.   And by every legal definition, she is disqualified from running for POTUS.  If she were not artificially propped up by the media, she would right now be either in jail, or in the process of being convicted.  It’s that bad folks.

Everything is Awesome: The Key to Donald Trump’s success in politics and why the controversies are irrelevant

I watched with the fascination of a scientist the oddly chaotic admonition of Donald Trump on Saturday October 9th over comments he made about women eleven years ago.  It didn’t matter to me in the least—perhaps even less.   I wouldn’t care about such things if the event happened yesterday or there were stacks of similar tapes—it certainly had no impact on my support for Donald Trump.  So I found it very strange that the entire media and so many established politicians quickly turned on Trump and were actually calling for him to step down while his counterpart on the other side—Hillary Clinton actually broke the law—many times in her campaign—and hadn’t received anywhere near the same level of outrage.  What was going on was something that I was aware of, but it was something that sort of resides on the subsurface of our American existence and now it had emerged from the shadows disguised as something else entirely and showed its fangs.  During the Saturday after Trump made an unneeded apology we were able to smell the vile breath of this new American villain—the direct assault of progressive politics aimed at destroying the American male completely and replacing him with some scribbled mess of academic creation—a Frankenstein monster assembled in think tanks around academia to allow liberals around the world to steam roll the newest form of communism across the face of planet earth.    It wasn’t Trump they were after so much as it was the representation of alpha maleness he has been restoring in America which terrifies the political left because this has been a long time in the making.  What was happening was their last-ditch effort at maintaining their strategic trajectory before it was too late and that epitome of “maleness” was in the White House.

It was just a few days earlier when conservatives were outraged at the openness that Duke University feminists established a new program called The Man’s Project which is designed to essentially further feminize men out of existence with a nine-week program aimed at destroying traditional role models men play within our society.  This has been going on in public schools of all kinds for essentially the last forty years but has picked up a lot of steam over the last 15 or so and the results have been catastrophic.  Divorce rates are too high, role models of men to their sons and daughters has been woefully eroded away greatly harming children psychologically—which was always by design because in the wake of the strong man of the house and neighborhood was always the promise that father government would be there with a welfare check.  Essentially government has been seducing our women in America for generations with promises and whispers in their ears through television programs like Oprah, and Dr. Phil—setting up for the complete eradication of male ownership of children and wives within traditional family structure to be replaced with a second marriage to big daddy government and all the empty promises a typical sleaze bag doing such a thing might promise.  And the only way they can pull off such a ruse is by getting men out of the house—and break them down completely then rebuild them from the ground up under progressive direction.  Programs like this Duke University class are now spreading all over the country and is a major problem for upcoming generations if we don’t correct the matter now—and that is part of what a Trump Presidency promises much to the fears of progressives behind this movement.

http://dailycaller.com/2016/10/02/duke-university-now-offers-safe-space-for-male-identified-students-to-contemplate-porn/

When I was first married in the late 80s I experienced a version of this radical hatred of alpha maleness firsthand.  Family and friends of my wife who was a budding fashion model when she met me and had all the promises of having a career in New York on the cover of major magazines did not like my unusual maleness, even back then when it was far more common than it is today.  One of the reasons my wife and I married so early was that she wanted a family and so did I.  She didn’t want a career where she served some boss in some corner office—she wanted to work for herself building a traditional family—and that was essentially all she cared about as a biological woman.  We shared that sentiment and against the wishes of virtually everyone—we married and started having kids in a traditional manner.

You would have thought that I had committed the worst crime of the century and for really the first ten years of our marriage “the world” came down on us hard.  After all, a woman knows her family for at least two decades before she gets a husband so every time there was some challenge in our marriage—where I needed to work more overtime to cover our costs, or child expenses forced us to decide whether or not to get a jug of milk or purchase baby food—there was some friend or family member trying to pull my wife into a more progressive version of family construction—where big government was at the center of her life—where a woman didn’t need a “man” because there were programs for her “independence” and people openly encouraged her to leave me over little things—normal life events that came at us at an alarming rate.  To make matters worse my wife was strikingly attractive and virtually every man on planet earth tried to seduce her—especially older ones who were comfortable in life and had a lot to offer a woman with a few kids and a lot of headaches.  The pressure was immense and I spent many, many evenings so deep in hard feelings that suicide was a constant temptation—and we’re not talking about a few weeks or months of tribulation—I’m talking about years and years of no light at the end of the tunnel.

However, if you’ve ever heard the song from The Lego Movie, “Everything is Awesome” that is essentially my calling card to success in just about everything I do.  It is the way I live my life every day—I have an extremely positive outlook on life and I can find joy in the deepest wells of sorrow.  I’ve had that ability my entire life and it never served me better than in those hard years of my 20s and early 30s over this issue of outside elements attacking my family essentially for insisting on being a traditional role-model for our children.  So instead of committing suicide which anybody in my situation would have justifiably performed many times over—I woke up every single morning essentially singing that song to myself—even though it hadn’t been written yet—and I attacked my many problems within that framework.

I spent ten years studying Joseph Campbell’s power of myth studies and I learned that the roles the sexes play in their relationships, however transitory it is to our life on planet earth—has a major impact on the way culture shapes itself to our evolution.  Campbell was what I considered a “super academic” who was a maverick in thinking but read on the scope of the world’s greatest scholars and after reading him I was sure that the solution to my problems was to be an epic male and that through the power of myth that I could hold my family together and that in the end everything would work out because psychologically, everyone involved in was essentially looking for a strong male in their lives, or they were trying to get rid of it so that they could take control of my family—and so long as I understood that the strategic objective was my “maleness” then I knew what I had to defend to obtain victory—which I of course did.

My victory, which was extremely hard to see in the early 90s, gradually destroyed my many enemies by their own volition–those assailants who had attacked my family from the get go and they are now miserable heaps of human flesh—if they lived long enough.  Some didn’t live and they collapsed under their own misery and all I had to do to destroy them was hold to my values.  They wanted me out-of-the-way so that they could destroy what I built and take possession themselves of my efforts as parasites—which is essentially what is happening to Donald Trump now.

Trump’s campaign at its core is about alpha maleness fixing the rot for which the progressive experiments of our age of have destroyed—the massive debt, the poor economic growth, the loss of integrity that comes from a wimpy political class—Trump is an alpha male that has arrived on the political scene completely uncorrupted by weakness to find our nation overrun by despots in the wake of strong male influence—which world mythic study informs us is a key ingredient to a successful society.  That isn’t to say that women have no role in the modern world—but the problems of our time are specifically caused by the destructive experiments by the progressive left in eradicating “male presence and influence.”  For men and women to truly be equal, women would have to fill that role traditionally held by men as the strong anchor for which families take root.  Some women do perform this role nicely, but such thinking is genetically attached to men so it traditionally comes second nature.  The failure comes from government’s attempt to replace the family completely—by micromanaging families into sending the woman into the workplace to serve a master, and sending the man into the workplace to serve another master—and then sending the kids at 3 and 4 years old to pre-school to learn to serve a different master leaving the family pulled in many different directions all controlled by a centralized government.

Trump is the last of his kind essentially—he represents a time when alpha males were much more common and to be one you had to essentially beat out other men for the top prizes—and that sometimes meant stealing away their wives to prove that you were the top alpha in your region—that you had the best house, the best cars—the best businesses.  Those are all vile things to the capitalist hating political left—but they are all inventions of the human race who have dreamed them up and put them to use—and are now part of our biological concerns.  The political left recognizing this has sought to reverse the human race from reaching to the stars to looking back to the ground for which they stand with environmental concerns about “mother earth” hoping to put a halt to the inventions derived from capitalist excess which naturally weakens the need people have for a centrally controlled tribal leader in the form of elected officials.

What Trump has is similar to what I have—and these things are similar to what most men had back in the day when men were men, women were women and everyone knew what their roles were specific to their families—which made them all stronger.  Having indomitable spirit to always preserver no matter how bad things are traditionally is the optimism a powerful alpha male brings to his family and is something they can count on to always outlast any kind of tribulation.  And this is why Trump is able to wake up on a Sunday after a day like he had yesterday where essentially the entire political world crashed down around him because as a strong alpha male who has literally weathered every storm most people could ever hope to endure—because his existence is not predicated on the controls of the political class—but extends to the roots of his entire being—and step into this upcoming debate with a swagger that most find unimaginable.  In this case Trump is the King Solomon of our time—the vessel of God himself—in all his glorious maleness to give birth to a nation that progressives wanted to see aborted before it was even out of the womb—then to take that nation and teach it to be an alpha in the world and eventually to the galaxy at large as the human race migrates into space.  Trump is bigger than the political class and it terrifies all those who have hooked their stars to that thinking—because Trump as president will dominate that star by his very presence.  So understand dear reader that is what is going on over this rather trivial issue about Trump’s “past” comments.  The outrage only exists among those invested into this new progressive thinking where traditional family structure is intended to be replaced by daddy government—the other man who wants to steal our wives, enslave our children, and dominate every phase of our existence.  And Trump, like me, obviously has the great gift that all pillars of strength have within their families and businesses—the ability to look at any problem—no matter how troubling—and to think—Everything is Awesome—because it is.

Enjoy the debate.   It will be one for the history books!  We’ve never seen anything like it in the history of the human race, from the mythology of the great alpha male Zeus to the king facing the ultimate goddess of Tubber Tintye.  In fact, as I read Melania’s statement yesterday it was quite clear that she served the Tubber Tintye role for Donald Trump perfectly—which is the real role traditional women have had.  They have always had the ultimate power.  I wouldn’t have worked so hard for my wife if she was not my personal Lady of Tubber Tintye and obviously Trump has his Melania—the only woman really worth fighting for to step beyond the average concerns that typical alpha males typically experience except for those who keep reaching for that ultimate boon residing on that spinning golden couch which hold within her the solutions for the human race.  Trump had the courage to go there—and it has obviously transformed him over the last decade—and that makes him ripe to be president.  In case you don’t know that story, click here and I’ll tell it to you.  It’s certainly worth your time.

Trump and Child Care: Making families great again

Remember dear reader that I predicted the end of the Democratic Party on Matt Clark’s radio show early in the 2016 election.  I specifically said far before Hillary Clinton became the train wreck that her campaign has become that the Republican Party would split into two and that Democrats would cease to be and that the overall nature of the entire country would move to the political right.  Once that happened Trump, who as of now is considered one of the most radical right winged candidates in the history of the presidency, will be considered a liberal and that the critics of Trump’s recent child care rebate speech launched brilliantly at just the right time in the campaign, would launch themselves into a new conservative party yet named and headed by the likes of Glenn Beck and Ted Cruz.  I said on WAAM radio that I thought it would take a few years to occur but that the foundations were already present—the end of the Democratic Party is coming. Trump is about to destroy them and I love him for it.  Good riddance!

I am of the mind that Trump’s proposals greatly benefiting women and their child care expenses isn’t just another giant government program spreading big brother even more to the far reaches of our country—it’s the first step of a master negotiator to begin walking back the massive damage progressives have done to the American family.  I was just a little stunned by Trump’s proposal for the first time in our nation’s history that a tax credit the value of yearly child care would be provided to women who stay home with their children as well as those who decide to enter the workplace.  Whereas Trump’s proposals led by his daughter Ivanka look like the type of policies a Democrat would propose, the heart of the effort is distinctly conservative.

I’ve been saying it for over 40 years—women who stay home with their children are taking on the most difficult occupations of our society and the most important—the raising of our youth.  My mother was ridiculed to hell and back for being a housewife who was always home while I was growing up and my wife had it even worse—because she did the same.  Now my kids are staying home with their children.  They have professional occupations, but they work from their homes and they put their children first—which is hard to do.  Being a mom—not a neurotic mess like most school levy supporters are—not a panicking soccer mom or busy body latté sipper—but a mom is the most important job in the entire world and it’s about time that “government” recognize it as such.

Government run by progressives have been at war with the American family for the last seventy years—likely longer—and the quality of our people shows the negative results dramatically.  I can spot a person who had a stay-at-home mom a mile away—even as old shriveled up raisins themselves playing golf.  You can tell when a person was loved as a child by a mother.  It shows in how they walk, talk, and process information.  You can also tell who had chaotic childhoods that were raised in day care facilities.  Their minds are scattered messes—and sadly, many people reading this are of this experience.  This has been the fault of government.  It has attempted through public education to replace the parent at home with big government ideas that perpetuated lifelong entitlements—for which the paternal government would provide through wealth confiscation and redistribution.   Many years of this behavior has essentially destroyed our nation intellectually.  The starting point for fixing this problem is to incentivize the American family to remain intact and to nurture each other toward prosperity—because the top down government model has failed miserably. 

Not exactly a friendly crowd in that clip, but he handled things unusually well–unscripted, informal, and competent.  So it was quite a statement to acknowledge that stay-at-home moms would qualify for a tax credit worth the cost of child care.  That I think is huge, and extremely conservative.  For a change, a Republican is taking a conservative idea and dressing it up to appeal to moderates and Democrats and selling it in an appealing way.  But in so doing Trump is putting the American family first in a way that I’ve never seen done in politics before—and this is very encouraging.  Under Trump’s proposal, both of my daughter’s would qualify for a tax credit because they have stayed home to care for their children in a traditional way—instead of being penalized the way families have been in the past.  

These Trumps mean business—and continue to show what kind of Executive Branch they’d maintain every day while in the White House.  Nobody has worked harder on more hard policy innovation than they have just during this campaign—and given Donald Trump’s track record—I have no doubt that he will work even harder knowing that history is judging him—because he seems to really care about those types of things.  Trump from every direction seems to be doing exactly what I have been dreaming of in a presidential candidate all my life—and he expects himself to actually do the things he’s talking about.   Trump, he is a hard worker, he’s innovative, and he expects to accomplish things.  He also has the establishment scared to death—which is wonderful for a change.   He is a sign of real change and ultimately, I think the biggest impact will be on the two-party system.  When that happens, remember you heard it from me first, the Democratic Party is about to become extinct.  

The Trumps and the people of their campaign—some of which I know, are the best of what is produced in America.  Trump is planning to invest in the future not only fiscally, but emotionally by making the family the center of all our values once again—and that is a wonderful thing.

Trump International Hotel Washington:The biggest story of the week–Ayn Rand’s heroes are no longer fiction

The biggest news of the week after Hillary passed out at a 9/11 ceremony ahead of a big election wasn’t her criminal activity involving her emails.  It wasn’t even the start of an NFL season.  It was the quiet and unpretentious trump card that Donald Trump unleashed with a soft opening in Washington D.C. featuring his new hotel and likely one of the most prestigious destinations on planet earth—and that includes the many fine hotels of Abu Dhabi.  Trump and his team delivered in a big way on time and ahead of schedule essentially a masterpiece of modern architecture proving what I’ve said from the very beginning—we are electing into the office of president—finally in America, a hero from one of Ayn Rand’s novels which will perpetually change the political landscape for the better from here on.  While most politicians would be completely focused on their campaigns in these final days Trump was able to perform all those expected functions doing interviews with Fox and Friends—wishing good health to the ailing Hillary Clinton before jetting off to Alabama to a massive rally planned later that night.   In between Trump stopped by his latest building masterpiece to launch the soft opening and speak to his employees with this little speech.

What we are seeing dear reader is a man of high expectation at the height of his game and he has proven himself a master in the arts of mass utilization.  He’s an unrivaled spectacle of his own making and is the closest thing to the real life Howard Roark from the great American novel, The Fountainhead that we’ve ever seen—only he’s better.  Where Roark was uncompromising and socially awkward—the way Ayn Rand herself was—Trump is confident and can give a little in public to earn people to his side—but in the end he gets exactly what he wants without being a victim to social circumstances the way that the fictional Howard Roark was—where he had to blow up his own building to take ownership of it.  Trump just dominates whatever he does keeping himself from ever being a victim, and that is exactly what we should have as a presidential representative of the United States.   He’s his own kind of man and is certainly a product of American capitalism in a very positive way.

Not since Walt Disney has an American personality essentially taken on the status quo of virtually everything and elevated it for all who follow and Trump has done that in politics by performing the effort so leisurely without taking his foot off the petal of his professional interests.  As I’ve said all along, when Trump has his hard open to this grand D.C. hotel later in October—after the kinks of the soft opening have been worked out—the lead story going into the election will be that Trump can do for America as a country what he did to the Old Post Office on Pennsylvania Avenue—next door to the White House.   With ceilings more than twenty feet tall in some of the rooms the luxury hotel is a testament to excellence—and uncompromising integrity, a symbol of what’s about to happen in Washington D.C.—then across America.

Trump’s plan which has obviously been in the back of his mind for a long time was to use that hotel to raise the bar in the ailing United States capital and to fix policy from the White House that will correct the course America is presently on and bring it to unprecedented levels never before thought possible—and this hotel is the evidence of what can really happen when Trump and his family put their name on something.  The Trump D.C. hotel was essentially a project of Ivanka and she truly did deliver—and I honestly think it will be she who will be the first female president once she’s completed a few more of these massive real estate endeavors stepping out from under her father’s massive shadow.

With the hard opening in October displaying all the glamour and glitz that is expected from a capitalist country awing the media just before the election Trump will get a bounce that will be better than his RNC event and that will be the last impression voters will have going to the voting booth on November 8th.  That doesn’t mean you can stay home dear reader, the Democrats always have a few tricks up their sleeves.  But their act is a tired one—and they can’t hold a candle to Trump and his glorious escapades of which the Trump D.C. hotel is but the latest.  The media covered the soft opening with a focus on a few hairy socialist protesters outside the grand building, but the magnificence of the event overshadowed their efforts valiantly—and that scared the media—such as Reuters and the AP.  Talk about an exclamation point at the end of the most unusual presidential candidacy in American history—there really isn’t anything Democrats can do to compete with the Trumps from New York.  During the soft opening the polls were slightly in Trump’s favor.  From here on out, he will gradually pull ahead and Hillary will not be able to play from behind.  Her health won’t allow her, and she is too top heavy organizationally to adapt.  Trump has beat them with the cards in his deck and the Trump D.C. hotel is the last hand needed to win the presidency—and everyone on the inside knows it.  Once the American voter learns about it—the election will essentially be over.  Do not take anything for granted—show up on that first Tuesday in November and VOTE.  But Trump has essentially played his last card for a victory and it is the Trump Hotel in D.C.  What a masterpiece!  Ayn Rand would be very proud.

Likely such a supposition will fray the skin of people like Glenn Beck, and John Stossel who are big supporters of Ayn Rand’s Objectivism and would point at Trump and declare that he is no John Galt.  But Trump has been his own engine of the world—and he’s done it the traditional way through real, tangible assets and hard uncompromising work.  Objectivists all across the various political philosophies would disagree with me—but I know something they don’t.  Objectivism doesn’t go far enough as a philosophy to carry the human race forward—there are other aspects that need to emerge into practice as foundational principles friendly to a capitalist nation.   Objectivism is fine for foundations, but Trump is in a league of his own—I would call him a sequel to Ayn Rand.  He is an engine, but his definition and integrity are defined largely by him and his value than by what some philosopher has framed for him—and that makes him something truly special, and unique.

People like Glenn Beck have let down a lot of people over just this last year.  When he pleaded on Fox News over nearly six years ago for the world to unleash its real Hank Reardons he really didn’t mean it, because Trump is now before us.  His hotel in Washington D.C. is a shining example of what America can do if it unleashes its best and brightest, and in this case it is the Trump Organization which shines brightest in the dimming light of the Washington skyline.  And it’s about time that we have an engine of the world in the White House to unleash all that pent-up potential so that a decade from now, the Trump D.C. will look rather average for America—and not so exceptional—because the level of expectation will finally be raised to where it should be.

Hillary Loses her Mind Again, and her Shoe: Is the presidential candidate looking for a doctor’s note to get out of the debates?

By now dear reader you’ve probably heard, Hillary Clinton nearly passed out at a 9/11 ceremony even losing her shoe as her entourage ushered her into her motorcade before the cameras could capture her despair.  By all appearances Hillary Clinton looks ill—like she’s a very sick person.  And factually, that’s all we have to go on.  But beware of the scheming Hillary Clinton—the criminal—who will stop at nothing to cover her trail and do what she has to do to survive another day.  Consider that just before the Benghazi hearings, it was this same Hillary Clinton who supposedly had a concussion and couldn’t attend the congressional hearings for quite some time delaying the efforts.

Many—such as yours truly—believed she was faking the injury to delay justice—until public sentiment had worn out on the topic blunting the effect on her professional life—which worked to some extent.  I believe this is the same kind of “injury.”  Hillary does not want to debate Donald Trump.  I believe she is looking for a doctor’s note getting her out of the upcoming events and that she is trusting the element of sympathy and a friendly media to carry her over the finish line.

She knows that she has better chances at the presidency if she avoids the debates than if she will if she gets pounded on her emails during them.  The only way she can hope to endure the ridicule of the Wikileaks email releases and the public embarrassments Trump will unleash on her are to avoid the debates all together.  And to get away from that—she needs a doctor’s note and a whole lot of progressive sympathy.  Be very careful of the wounded animal that whimpers until you get close enough for it to swipe at you one last time.  Hillary is a criminal, and nothing she does can be trusted at face value.

Donald Trump Speaking on behalf of Phyllis Schlafly: Leadership and honor even at a funeral–which is expected

As the world was concerned about other things, conservatives respectfully sent their wishes to the family of Phyllis Schlafly, as the Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump was given a standing ovation at the St. Louis Cathedral Basilica at the funeral for Phyllis Schlafly. The congregation stood to its feet and applauded Donald Trump after his wonderful remarks. I thought it was interesting, and revealing to the type of President Donald Trump will be to show what the press virtually ignored.  Trump even under grim circumstances projected strength and honor in the face of gloom bringing the entire room up a level as we all walk the precipice between life and death.  Nothing is worse than a funeral, yet Trump’s energy for life uplifts everyone, which says a lot in defense of what kind of conservative leadership he possess, which Phyllis believed in.

Schlafly was a constitutional lawyer, conservative activist, author, speaker, columnist and founder of the Eagle Forum.

Phyllis was active promoting conservative agenda until her passing. She wrote a weekly column for over 50 years. Schlafly released a book in August, “The Conservative Case for Trump,” with co-authors Ed Martin and Brett Decker – The Conservative Case for Trump.

In March Phyllis Schlafly endorsed Donald Trump for president at the Peabody Opera House in St. Louis.

The Truth About Hillary Clinton: Beaten in every way

Looking objectively at the issue of Hillary Clinton—at just the evidence before us without the speculative motivations—we see a candidate in peril.  As I’m not a Democrat and think that their ideas are inherently un-American leaning too far toward socialist Europe and not the capitalist bastion that is expected out of the North American continent, I can at least observe with bland factuality the reality of the Clinton campaign which just after Labor Day 2016—as I predicted—Trump is ahead in the national polls by two points according to CNN with bit lips and behind the scenes curse words.  On the first Tuesday after Labor Day, just two months before the presidential election Clinton tried to shrug off her botched airplane press conference which ended in a coughing fit seeking water—her health in question, then turned down the invite to Mexico stating that Trump had already tainted the water—and therefor she would not participate.  This after the news dump on Friday revealed in her FBI testimony that she literally couldn’t remember anything pertinent to her case.  As a lawyer we all know that she will not say anything incriminating so to plead the fifth is an appropriate defense in the world of law—but in the court of public opinion it shows clearly that she is either too physically ill to be president of the United States—or she is too deep in a cover-up much larger than Watergate—and should be going to jail, not the White House.

I could see it on her face during the airplane press conference, she doesn’t have what it takes to run for POTUS.  The first question that arises is why couldn’t she find the time on the ground to have a press conference—why in the air on her “new” campaign plane?  She had just partied with Bon Jovi in the Hamptons at several fund raisers—why would she wait to have a press conference on an airplane rather than wait for some point on the ground?  The answer is a simple one, Hillary Clinton doesn’t have anywhere important to really go and when she gets there the crowds are small and unexcited.  If she held a press conference on the ground the background noise would be embarrassingly silent compared to the Trump press conferences where thousands of people show up just to watch him get out of his motorcade.   The Hillary people wanted her to look presidential, and busy so they held the press conference on the plane.  Additionally, they also wanted to control the press, to limit it to a small group which the airplane did for them naturally.  Only a few reporters therefor could get access to Hillary meaning there were fewer opportunities to open her mouth, which the more she does, the less people like her.   Her people know that so they are trying to compete with Trump without showing how weak their candidate really is.  But we can all see it, and its showing in the polls.  Then, to make matters worse, she couldn’t even get through that without having to stop due to her incessant coughing.

On the ground later Clinton tried to explain the reasons she refused the presidential invite to Mexico by stating that Trump had already “choked” in his visit last week and that she didn’t want to make matters worse.  Everyone around the world saw Trump meeting with the Mexican president and the visit was hardly a “choke.”  On the contrary, it was very presidential and backs everything that Trump had been saying we could expect out of his White House—a strong position that puts America first.  What Hillary revealed was that she couldn’t match the effort so her people decided that it would be better not to show up than to look less presidential than Trump rationalizing it would be better to not have an impression than to have a bad one that didn’t measure up to her rival.  That is the clear sign of a team that is already playing from behind.  How many football games have we all watched where a clear team jumped out to a big lead then went to a prevent defense then lost to a team much hungrier.  That is what is happening to the Hillary Clinton campaign and it won’t get any better from here.

She doesn’t have the endurance for a competitive race, and Trump has made it competitive.  She is not creative enough to out-maneuver the lean thinking Trump who is incredibly fast on his feet.  Hillary thinks like a lawyer and runs everything through a huge team and while that process is happening, Trump thinking like a CEO who is always in charge is dancing though fire without sustaining any burns.  She just can’t compete in a toe to toe matchup.  Then there is her health.  She is obviously not the most vigorous person on earth compared to a Donald Trump who appears never to sleep—and if he does—it’s between meetings and activities.  Trump has been putting in 20 hour days on the campaign trail several days in a row, working weekends, Holidays and hosting three rallies a day filled to the brim in cities all across America—whereas Hillary can only do one or two, then has to take a weekend off to recover as her stamina quickly diminishes.  Her running mate Tim Kaine has had to do more heavy lifting than any VP candidate in the history of the United States and there is still two months left in the race.  He can’t continue like that covering for her—without people noticing.  Then there are the obvious criminal misconducts of Hillary Clinton involving her email problems.  At best she can only claim to be not technically savvy enough to understand what “classified” designations are—which should under any logic disqualify her from the POTUS position.  At worst—which is most likely—she deliberately destroyed incriminating evidence, lied to the FBI, and lied to congress—which holds a mandatory prison sentence. This is a lady with big, big problems and as the pressure cooker increases in the coming weeks, things will only get worse for her.

Watching her I find it astonishing that the Democrats actually thought they’d get away with putting Clinton up for the POTUS job.  Evidence of this trouble showed two years ago—and now that house of cards is not just falling down—but the entire deck is burning by self-inflicted fire.  It was terrible judgment by lot of people to even think that Hillary Clinton could run against the Republicans and win.  It just goes to show how little respect they had for Republicans.  But the Republicans for a change—not by party consent, but by the people who vote for conservatives in general, decided to make a major change in direction and they nominated Trump.  The Democrats did not have an answer, and now they have to pay for that debacle.  They destroyed their answer with a massive scandal that rocked their party in a cover-up which they still haven’t recovered from.  Now they are stuck two months out with an unhealthy, self-entitled, criminal with a checkered past and an unlikable personality and the doom is clear as a glass window freshly cleaned.  Hillary can’t win unless there is massive election fraud and that is the last great hope for Democrats—that Homeland Security will protect them from reality and rig the election.  And that is the state of the Democratic Party—on the cusp of extinction.  Remember—you heard it first from me on Matt Clark’s radio show several months ago—and it’s all coming true—right on schedule.

How the FBI is Assisting the Criminal Hillary Clinton: A pattern of behavior that requires action

Remember everyone, the FBI would not allow the San Bernardino terrorists to be called such until the media leaks became so intense they had no choice.  Then, they released the crime scene to the media after just a few days of investigation.  The Federal Bureau of Investigation is guilty of complacency in many crimes by their deliberate misleading of the public and when it comes to Hillary Clinton, they are at it again—assisting an open criminal on a crusade to evade justice in favor of maintaining a status quo culture in Washington D.C., which favors their big government desires.

Here is the damaging evidence you NEED to know:

  • A Clinton Foundation aide used a hammer to destroy Hillary’s old phones
  • Whereabouts of Hillary’s old phones would “frequently become unknown”
  • Clinton’s emails were erased just afterit was exposed that she used a secret server

And WORST of all, she told the FBI she couldn’t “recall” being trained on how to handle classified material even though she signed a form acknowledging that she received the training.

Hillary Clinton has lied to the American people, lied before Congress, and jeopardized our national security. She cannot and must not become our next president.

The Good Old Star Wars as Opposed to the New: Battlefront and the new stepdad

I was with a VIP catching a flight at O’Hara International Airport toward a destination that would take me along the coast of Russia and a spit in the wind from North Korea when I was asked about my thoughts on The Force Awakens, the Star Wars movie Matt Clark and I had brutally reviewed on his radio program just a few weeks prior.  CLICK TO REVIEW.  Along the concourse that headed toward the big oversea flights was a lit up advertisement for the new Star Wars movie and the man with me knew I liked Star Wars and wanted a referral.  I pointed him to the podcast of the WAAM radio show which he could download before we took off on what would be a very long flight because I didn’t really want to talk about it more than I had on that broadcast.  Star Wars was always something my family enjoyed together and this new generation felt like a family with a new step dad in it that wanted to replace our old dad.  The new dad was much more progressive than the old traditional dad and I found I didn’t like him, even though he was full of good intentions.  They were intentions that didn’t feel conducive to what Star Wars meant to my family—so I put it out of my mind.

As I sat with that VIP at a bar having a 9:30 AM beer and some nachos we looked through the big window onto our big 747 that was being prepped for our journey and he thought it was funny that probably for the first time in my life, I didn’t want to talk about Star Wars or the importance of its mythology upon the world stage, which I tend to do.  Our conversation drifted off onto other things happening at that time, the NFL playoffs, whether or not Trump would make the Republican nomination, and the goals of our travels.  But lingering in my mind was that bad feeling about the direction Star Wars was taking—a much more Huffington Post—Star Wars, as opposed to the dystopian THX-1138 version that I feel in love with as a kid—the small government, pro-freedom imagination fueling engine that really changed science, mechanical engineering, and philosophy for the human race under the guidance of George Lucas.  For kids, Star Wars was great because it combined two of their favorite things—guns, and cool machines into one movie.

The new Star Wars writers, directors, and producers were more concerned about social inclusiveness—ethnic diversity, sexual empowerment, and a hippie like love of the “Force” than the hot rod inspired George Lucas had been as a former race car driver who took his love of mechanics and applied them directly to an unlimited free market tapestry of a galaxy functioning as a Laissez-faire capitalist bastion which was carrying that society toward a type two evolutionary threshold.  After all, that was what made the original trilogy such a tragedy was that the oppressive Empire was seeking to control the entire galaxy from a central government through force.  Even as George Lucas become more progressive the older he became, that original essence stayed with him on every Star Wars project he worked on through The Clone Wars animated series.  Noticeably in the Rebels television show and now with The Force Awakens, it was obvious to me that George Lucas wasn’t calling the shots anymore, it was now a bunch of progressive San Francisco residents with body piercings and tattoos who had much different values in life than I had, and it bothered me.  It was like our metaphorical mother—Star Wars—had married an old hippie with a bald head except for a long ponytail of fringed gray hair stained with the smell of pot smoke informed us that he was our new dad—and I didn’t like him.

I didn’t have a history with this new dad.  I did with the old one, I had read every book, every comic and followed most everything that happened in the Star Wars storyline for thirty years and now this new dad was throwing out a bunch of stuff that reminded him of the old dad so that he could have sex with our mom and not think of what was there before him.  For me the final straw was when Disney tossed out the expanded universe books which my wife and I had read for two decades and proposed that their future stories would “borrow” from those books, but that from now on, the new dad would be calling all the story shots—which was noticeably less exciting and filled with original thoughts.  This new dad was not better than the old dad—he was different—and I have been rejecting him.

About a month before The Force Awakens came out the videogame Battlefront was released to the PlayStation 4 counsel and it was reportedly a dream for Star Wars fans.  I love Star Wars games for all the reasons little kids love the movies and toys—because there is a lot of energy, strategy, and imagination in them which I find is like a personal vacation for me to visit those places to step out of the daily pressures of my life—it has become for me kind of stress management.  I enjoy visiting big concepts in that boundless universe–conceptually.  Star Wars has always given me hope that mankind can step away from the limitations of our past into a future full of opportunity.  The games always make it easy to visit that world—especially through the Fantasy Flight Games products and the video games that have been produced over the years.  But with Battlefront, I wasn’t sure I was going to accept this new dad in Star Wars who was throwing out all the things I had spent time getting to know over several decades.  So even though my kids, and Matt Clark along with many others were pushing me to get the new Battlefront game so they could play it with me online—I was being very stubborn about it.

Shortly after that oversea trip my wife and I bought a next generation entertainment system with a 4k 70” television that is as crystal clear as anything I’ve ever seen.  Since we’ve had it we have purposely watched anything filmed or created to fulfill the market parameters of the 4K technology except the new Star Wars products.  I didn’t buy The Force Awakens at first when it came out on Blue Rey, I gave up on the Rebels television show, and I refused to buy Battlefront even when our television salesman offered to give it to me for free for spending so much money with him.   I said no because I didn’t want to deal with the new ponytail hippie dad that Star Wars had become to me.

After a few months of dancing around the issue the news that Battlefront was releasing a VR experience for on their upcoming PlayStation VR system made me look seriously at what was going on with Star Wars Battlefront.  I had already become used to what the 4K television experience could provide and I consumed all the media I could without any of it being Star Wars—but finally knowing that I was going to participate in the VR PlayStation release, I decided I wanted to pick it up Battlefront and learn to play.  Softening my position on Star Wars also was my grandson who has discovered all my old collectibles that I have from nearly four decades ago, and they are his favorite toys to play with bridging generations with some common ground to work with.  So I purchased the game and was just a little blown away by the experience.

I last remembered Battlefront 2 on the old Xbox so it’s been about five years since I really paid attention to what’s going on in the platform video game market.  As I have said before, my wife and I played The Old Republic online for a few years and I have been into the Fantasy Flight Games tabletop releases—so I haven’t had much time for other things.  I have a busy enough life; I have to pick my leisure events carefully.  So I never picked up a PlayStation 3, as I stated when recently discussing the Uncharted games.  I went from watching the PS2 graphics to essentially the latest and greatest in PS4—which is essentially 7 years of technical development.  I really never thought a game like Battlefront would have been possible.  Some of the levels such as the ATAT Attack in the Endor forest where an All Terrain Armored Transport makes its way down a creek bed to destroy a Rebel Transport before it can take off complete with rich vegetation, slowing running water and insects flying around were simply astounding—bewildering good graphically.  Then there was a moment at the Rebel Depot where a Millennium Falcon was sitting in a hanger and the battle takes place around it where I had to catch my breath and just think how cool that ship was sitting there.  The vehicle was nearly photorealistic and was something that was a childhood dream for me.  Essentially, after those two battle modes my position on Star Wars softened a lot.  Not completely, but I found enough value in those experiences to heal some of the betrayal I felt for the abandonment of the Extended Universe to essentially reboot for a new generation that was noticeably much more politically progressive.  Yet what I was seeing on Battlefront was something I observed on the multiplayer modes of Uncharted, a very laissez-faire capitalist economy that rewards the best and most hard working and provides equal opportunity for everyone who wants to be the best they can be.  That is why I found myself enjoying that environment and seeing a new level of benefit in the Star Wars franchise that certainly wasn’t available when I was a kid.  It’s not just about movies anymore, but the extended experience that takes place in our everyday lives.

My favorite mode is Fighter Squadron where players can fly Star Wars ships in combat over ground targets, through smoke, clouds and vicious firefights.  Graphically, everything is very photorealistic. It reminded me of the countless flight simulators I’ve played over the years—but it was by far the best.  It didn’t take me long before I was flying against other people—many who seem to always be playing the game 24 hours a day—and I was on the top of the leaderboard with 34 ships shot down in one match and I was only a level 11 at the time.  It was a lot of fun for me to get into something that was so familiar, yet so new and polished that I saw the great benefit that was happening intellectually, and philosophically.  As I was shooting down other pilots from all over the world at 4 AM in the morning with a vicious firefight that only history pointed to as a similar experience, and I noticed how some players tagged onto my wing to provide assistance without being asked and people were working together to achieve objectives because it was in everyone’s best interest to do so—I saw many good things happening to people that they aren’t learning in school.  Thinking of the other players online with me, some who were very good showed that a new evolution was clearly taking place and it was a global phenomenon which transcended traditional political parameters—and it centered on laissez-faire capitalism as a foundation.  Video games by their very nature are very free market entertainment options, and based on the behavior of that very vibrant world, it was working and people were enjoying it in every time zone on earth—together.  A lot of people have come to take this kind of thing for granted, but for me, it wasn’t that long ago where I was on the Spaceship Earth ride at Epcot Center in 2003 when my daughters and I first learned about the possibility of global communication through web browsers.  I think at that time we still had to pay a usage fee for internet use.  Gaming with all the information that travels over the various internet connections involves a tremendous amount of information that a 4K 70-inch television that can be bought at Costco for the price of a house payment, can show.  I wouldn’t say that I’m old, but I certainly have had a front row seat to all this development both on the Star Wars front, and on the technological part—and the mythology, and the philosophy of economy was certainly inspiring.

It doesn’t feel like it was that long ago that I was playing the very first computer game, X-Wing which was a DOS based game which came out in 1993.  In 1994 I bought my very first powerful PC which could play the game, and I was in love with it—I really never forgot the experience.   I stayed up many nights playing it with my nephews and we had likely some of the best times of our lives with that game and some of its sequels which started toying with the idea of online play which was attractive to us since they lived in Florida at that time.  But it was nothing like the smoothness of Battlefront—so I was a little bit enchanted with my experience and maybe not so critical of the new step dad.  I don’t think the new makers of Star Wars are even close to being able to make movies as original as George Lucas did.  At best, they may copy elements of the original series and the films will be enjoyable.  But if that’s the best that we get, it’s still a lot more than a world without Star Wars—which is changing the philosophy of the human race a little bit each and every day in a positive way.

Star Wars Battlefront is just one online experience—there are in fact hundreds of possible titles all fighting for attention in a very exciting marketplace.  Battlefront has the advantage of being associated with a popular space saga that has already captured the imaginations of several generations and speaks a universal language that transcends established trends, even religion—which is why to me it is such a nice vacation for my mind.  When time prevents a real vacation, I have for years vacationed in the world of Star Wars and enjoyed it for all that it brings—primarily the fighting and hot rod space ships.  For others, they like the philosophy of the Force.  For me, that is too much kid’s stuff.  I like the strategic combat that is involved in the wars of that galaxy far, far away.  I’m not ready to give the step dad a hug, but I’m at the point where I might not leave the room.  We’ll see how good the new Rogue One movie is.  That will decide a lot.  But for now, Battlefront was just spectacular and a real treat of a sandbox video game that I found I liked a lot more than I would have thought.  I not only enjoyed it for what it is—a technical marvel, but for the evolution of philosophy that it offers players on such a grand scale.  There are some very special things going on in that gaming industry and it is fun for me to not only watch, but to participate in.  I enjoy sharing those experiences with my kids, people like Matt Clark, and even my grandson who spent most of the weekend mesmerized by the images on the screen.  I have gotten used to the big television now, but to him it was like looking into another bright world full of energy and excitement.  It was fun for me to just see the excitement coming from him.  So in that regard, I’m liking Star Wars again.  Hopefully the people at Lucasfilm and Disney don’t screw it up any further.  Because there is an opportunity here to do something very special—and I hope they don’t blow it.  If Battlefront is a sign of things to come—that looks to be a concern I don’t need to have.
