A Controversial Chuck Yeager Endorsement of Donald Trump: Whether or not he did or didn’t is irrelevant

There is some debate about whether or not Chuck Yeager actually put the following endorsement of Donald Trump up on his Facebook account.  Yeager is someone I personally admire, and I’ve been a fan of him for most of my life.  He’s certainly one of the greatest American heroes we have, not only as a World War II ace fighter pilot, but as a test pilot, most spectacularly being the first person to break the speed of sound. Reading this endorsement it sounded like him.  But, he is a military man, and I can see a scenario where he might have posted it but was told to take it down for all the same reasons that Mitt Romney came out against Donald Trump.  Regardless of its authenticity, it does make a very compelling case in favor of Donald Trump and is worth consideration ahead of the upcoming statewide primaries across the nation.  I’m inclined to believe that Chuck Yeager believes what is aforementioned written, but the words are worth their weight free of official endorsement because they capture the essence quite well of what the Donald Trump phenomena is really about.  God bless the World War II generation for their logic and resolve.

Chuck Yeager’s endorsement is printed below, in full.

Donald Trump……..who he REALLY is….The criticisms of Trump are amazingly missing something. They are lacking in negative stories from those who work for him or have had business dealings with him. After all the employees he’s had and all the business deals he’s made there is a void of criticism. In fact, long term employees call him a strong and merciful leader and say he is far more righteous and of high integrity than people may think.

And while it may surprise many, he’s actually humble when it comes to his generosity and kindness. A good example is a story that tells of his limo breaking down on a deserted highway outside of New York City. A middle-aged couple stopped to help him and as a thank you he paid off their mortgage, but he didn’t brag about that. Generous and good people rarely talk of charity they bestow on others. But as much as all this is interesting, the real thing that people want to know is what Donald Trump’s plan is for America. It’s funny how so many people say they don’t know what it is, or they act like Trump is hiding it. The information is readily available if people would just do a little homework. But, since most Americans won’t do their own research, here, in no particular order, is an overview of many of Trump’s positions and plans:

1.) Trump believes that America should not intervene militarily in other country’s problems without being compensated for doing so. If America is going to risk the lives of our soldiers and incur the expense of going to war, then the nations we help must be willing to pay for our help. Using the Iraq War as an example, he cites the huge monetary expense to American taxpayers (over $1.5 trillion, and possibly much more depending on what sources are used to determine the cost) in addition to the cost in human life. He suggests that Iraq should have been required to give us enough of their oil to pay for the expenses we incurred. He includes in those expenses the medical costs for our military and $5 million for each family that lost a loved one in the war and $2 million for each family of soldiers who received severe injuries.

2.) Speaking of the military, Trump wants America to have a strong military again. He believes the single most important function of the federal government is national defense. He has said he wants to find the General Patton or General MacArthur that could lead our military buildup back to the strength it needs to be. While he hasn’t said it directly that I know of, Trump’s attitude about America and about winning tells me he’d most likely be quick to eliminate rules of engagement that handicap our military in battle. Clearly Trump is a “win at all costs” kind of guy, and I’m sure that would apply to our national defense and security, too.

3.) Trump wants a strong foreign policy and believes that it must include 8 core principles (which seem to support my comment in the last point):
American interests come first. Always. No apologies.
Maximum firepower and military preparedness.
Only go to war to win.
Stay loyal to your friends and suspicious of your enemies.
Keep the technological sword razor sharp.
See the unseen.
Prepare for threats before they materialize.
Respect and support our present and past warriors.

4.) Trump believes that terrorists who are captured should be treated as military combatants, not as criminals like the Obama administration treats them.

5.) Trump makes the point that China’s manipulation of their currency has given them unfair advantage in our trade dealings with them. He says we must tax their imports to offset their currency manipulation, which will cause American companies to be competitive again and drive manufacturing back to America and create jobs here. Although he sees China as the biggest offender, he believes that America should protect itself from all foreign efforts to take our jobs and manufacturing. For example, Ford is building a plant in Mexico and Trump suggests that every part or vehicle Ford makes in Mexico be taxed 35% if they want to bring it into the U. S., which would cause companies like Ford to no longer be competitive using their Mexican operations and move manufacturing back to the U. S., once again creating jobs here.

6.) Trump wants passage of NOPEC legislation (No Oil Producing and Exporting Cartels Act – NOPEC – S.394), which would allow the government to sue OPEC for violating antitrust laws. According to Trump, that would break up the cartel. He also wants to unleash our energy companies to drill domestically (sound like Sarah Palin’s drill baby, drill?) thereby increasing domestic production creating jobs and driving domestic costs of oil and gas down while reducing dependence on foreign oil.

7.) Trump believes a secure border is critical for both security and prosperity in America. He wants to build a wall to stop illegals from entering put controls on immigration. (And he says he’ll get Mexico to pay for the wall, which many have scoffed at, but given his business successes I wouldn’t put it past him.) He also wants to enforce our immigration laws and provide no path to citizenship for illegals.

8.) Trump wants a radical change to the tax system to not only make it better for average Americans, but also to encourage businesses to stay here and foreign businesses to move here. The resulting influx of money to our nation would do wonders for our economy. He wants to make America the place to do business. He also wants to lower the death tax and the taxes on capital gains and dividends. This would put more than $1.6 trillion back into the economy and help rebuild the 1.5 million jobs we’ve lost to the current tax system. He also wants to charge companies who outsource jobs overseas a 20% tax, but for those willing to move jobs back to America they would not be taxed. And for citizens he has a tax plan that would allow Americans to keep more of what they earn and spark economic growth. He wants to change the personal income tax to:

Up to $30,000 taxed at 1% From $30,000 to $100,000 taxed at 5%From $100,000 to $1,000,000 taxed at 10%$1,000,000 and above taxed at 15%

9.) Trump wants Obamacare repealed. He says it’s a “job-killing, health care-destroying monstrosity” that “can’t be reformed, salvaged, or fixed.” He believes in allowing real competition in the health insurance marketplace to allow competition to drive prices down. He also believes in tort reform to get rid of defensive medicine and lower costs.

10.) Trump wants spending reforms in Washington, acknowledging that America spends far more than it receives in revenue. He has said he believes that if we don’t stop increasing the national debt once it hits $24 trillion it will be impossible to save this country. Even though he says we need to cut spending, he does not want to harm those on Medicare, Medicaid, or Social Security. He believes that the citizens have faithfully paid in to the system to have these services available and that the American government has an obligation to fulfill its end of the bargain and provide those benefits. Therefore, he wants to build the economy

The Facts About Trump University: Ambulance chasers and political hacks trying to stop history at the expense of truth

Many people from the Republican establishment hope and pray that the legal issues surrounding Trump University will sink Donald Trump as a presidential candidate.  However, unlike them, Trump has put himself into contact with thousands and thousands of people who want to sue him at the slightest provocation—because he is so incredibly wealthy.  Public sector politicians really don’t understand that kind of risk—yet Trump has thrived in spite of that treacherous trend.  Even so, it is hard to find people out of literally the many tens of thousands who have been in direct contact with him as either employees, or customers who can say anything bad about him.  I’m a really good person and it would be easy for people to find two or three hundred people who hate me and would love to bury me anyway they could.  Trump runs an even greater risk of that kind of attitude, yet even on such a large stage, very few can actually step forward and say anything against him.  Those that do are obvious ambulance chasers and that is the situation surrounding Trump University.  Here is Trump explaining the situation with evidence to provide clarification to the controversy. 

When it comes time to vote for Trump in your state—do it!  It’s not just a vote for a really good guy who doesn’t say enough about all the people he’s helped.  It’s a shot in the hull of a really corrupt band of pirate outlaws holding the GOP hostage—and they need to be driven out.  Trump is our best shot at doing it—so don’t waste the opportunity.  Send this to someone you know who wants to learn more about Trump University and Donald Trump in general.  If they are on the fence—get them off it and into a voting booth to vote in for Donald Trump.

Shooting the Varmints in our Garden: The most peaceful way to end a civil war

I think in the context of history March 3rd 2016 will go down in history as a great battle within the American system of government.  No lives were directly lost because of this battle, because at least in the United States elections still matter and people have them as an option.  For instance there was a debate with Fox News that was on a very large stage nationally, and at each podium was a figure representing various fractured elements of American society.  Marco Rubio represents the old guard establishment even though he came to be as a Tea Party insurgent.  Donald Trump was there as a private sector success story who is ready to run the country as a CEO—which can be good or bad depending on the CEO.  If the CEO is Jack Welch, then it probably won’t be good for everyone—likely just for the company.  If that CEO is like Steve Jobs—which is what I think will happen, then it will be wonderful for every American.  But it’s certainly not a traditional CEO position but it is a private sector presence in a high office that has not been there before.  Ted Cruz represents the type of people who attend C-PAC each year and run the various Tea Parties.  They have helped shape this whole election cycle.  Really everyone on the debate stage got there pandering to the Tea Party—even John Kasich who now represents the type of compromise candidate we’ve had in the past with Mitt Romney and John McCain.  My friend Ann Becker summed up the experience like this on Channel 12 News as she was pushing for some last-minute votes for her own run on the Ohio Central Committee which is on a scale as important as this presidential election—only in a different way.  CLICK THE FOLLOWING LINK FOR MORE.

http://local12.com/news/local/gop-infighting-carries-over-to-butler-county

I have personally tried to work with establishment types for decades, but my summation culminated about this time four years ago into a rather large melt-down that still resonates in my community.  Trump of course is experiencing what I’m talking about on a much larger scale, so I was curious how he’d deal with the severe abandonment of Mitt Romney the day of the Fox Debate.  It was a rather historic occasion, a former presidential candidate whom Trump had supported openly during the 2012 campaign held a press conference type of speech just hours before the debate to discredit Trump in every way he possibly could as a last-ditch effort to destroy the GOP frontrunner to preserve the last remnants of the type of Republican Party that he helped shape.  Trump had even held a very expensive fundraiser for Romney in his Manhattan apartment and had become fairly close to the man.  In 2012 Trump even pushed right to the wire a very important flight to Scotland while Romney was debating Barack Obama because he didn’t want to miss a moment—even in the car on the way to the airport.  So Donald Trump was fairly invested in Romney’s success, which of course history remembers was a failure.  As Romney announced all of Donald Trump’s failures over the years—investments that didn’t emerge victorious—although plenty did—I’m sure Trump would have included Romney on that list.

But you break bread with those people; get to know their wives and you start to like politicians because you think that they are regular people.  You think they are like you are because they sound like you, think like you, and share similar values.  Only, they aren’t like you.  Once they get into public office they turn into something else—because by the nature of a constitutional republic, success in that type of governmental position favors second-handers.  Trump had just come off a week of great successes—Super Tuesday gave him a huge lead over everyone else in the GOP presidential filed and he was showing what a Trump White House would look like as he picked up endorsements of establishment Republicans at an alarming rate-provoking the GOP bosses to attack Trump to his very core in an attempt to knock him out of the race.  That stress showed on Donald Trump at the Fox News debate.  His rivalry with Megan Kelly was in front of him, and two hostile candidates who wanted to unseat him were on each side.  Millions of people were watching to see if Trump would stumble—even world leaders watched terrified of having to deal with the unpredictable businessman from New York.  Trump was pounded and pressed from every direction.  Fox News used televisions to replay old Trump interviews in an attempt to catch him in a gotcha moment—which was hard obviously.  But through it all Trump managed to stand in front of everyone and declare that he had a large penis—literally.  It was the boldest things he could have done at that particular moment and it became the thing that everyone would remember out if this debate, and it was probably the only way out of a day where the establishment had thrown everything including the kitchen sink at Donald Trump ahead of the next round of states voting the following Saturday.

I know how that betrayal feels all too well.  I’ve felt it many times so I felt for Donald Trump being on such a large stage and feeling those emotions.  It won’t be the last time, but it does hurt each time it happens.  The best thing that can be done in those situations is to fight through the disappointment and do whatever it is that has to be done.  The stakes for so much were at full play and Trump did well to stand up there and shoulder it all—which is why I think he’ll be great as president.  The more that moderators and candidates tried to press him from the vantage point of a traditional president, the more wore out Trump looked.  Trump doesn’t plan to be a traditional president.  He intends to run the country like a CEO—as a boss.  America doesn’t elect kings and queens—and doesn’t like to be bossed around.  However, Americans have devolved over the years and presently they do need strong leadership—because they don’t manage their own lives very robustly.  At this particular moment, Trump is the only guy who can do the job.  But it won’t be anything close to traditional.  Trump will hire and delegate many of the presidential tasks because that is the strength of his skill set.  Second-hander politicians do not understand that way of thinking.  And because Trump represents an end to everything they know, they attacked him in the way that a cornered animal might fight for its very life.

 I watched my father and grandparents shoot many varmints that tried to eat food out of our garden, or in their fields.  I always felt sorry for the animals that were shot and killed.  But over time, I learned that the animals were second-handers to the efforts of the person who planted the crops in the first place.  The animals had to be destroyed to keep them from eating everything we worked so hard for.  If those animals had not been shot and killed, they would have destroyed all our efforts.  From the perspective of the animals, they just wanted to survive—and to feed their families.  But, to the vantage point of productive output, they were enemies to that effort.  So they had to be destroyed.  The same can be said about the GOP.  Donald Trump is our rifle that is picking off the varmints eating all the efforts of our careful labor.  Out of desperation, the varmints like Mitt Romney know the end is near for them.  Ann Becker can see it too as she presses on in her desire to unseat Patti Alderson—who represents those old GOP types like John Boehner, John Kasich, and Mitt Romney with financial backing and has helped shape the party into the disaster it currently is.  Ann and I might disagree on how that gun should be fired, but we agree that the crops in our garden must be protected from the second-handed efforts of politicians who just can’t stop themselves from trying to eat and destroy everything.  Donald Trump for me is the twelve gage shotgun; Ted Cruz is a .22 rifle.

If Trump was not running, there may well be an armed insurrection—the situation is that bad in America.  I’ve been covering it for years on these pages.  Trump is my hope of turning everything upside-down and re-organizing the mess into something profitable, and constructive.  It’s my last hope before something more serious happens.  It’s the last chance at an election to resolve a civil war within America—first between conservatives, then across the country in a general election where we are split 50/50 between socialists and traditionalists.  Someone has to do that hard work of converting those socialists to capitalism and laws and executive power just aren’t enough.  The varmints of Washington D.C. have to be eliminated—and Donald Trump is the weapon being presented to do the hard work, and the bloody evacuation of those Mitt Romney types which is required.   But I could see the strain on Trump.  It was hard for him-just as it is for all of us.  And out of all the days of his presidential run when he looks back on it, March 3rd will go down as the worst.  The good news is—it only gets better from here.  Once you shoot the first animal to save the precious crops in your garden, it becomes much easier.  And for Trump, he will learn to do that job very well.  That’s because he’s not a second-hander—and that’s why he needs to be president—because of the chain reaction that will follow.

Panic and Statism in Butler County: Shooting at Madison High School

Not that it’s a massive government conspiracy, but such tragedies do play a role in the desire of all government workers to expand their influence with inflated drama in times of crises.  The shooting at Madison Junior/Senior High School in Ohio—virtually in my backyard, is just such an example—which was a very minor incident that garnered national press.  Here is how USA Today reported the issue.

Four students were injured and a 14-year-old boy was in custody Monday following a shooting at a high school in Butler County, Ohio, authorities said.

Madison Junior/Senior High School remained in lockdown for a short while, but all students were safe, the school said in a statement on its Facebook page. None of the injuries was life-threatening, the statement said.

Two students were struck by gunshots and two were injured by either shrapnel or while trying to get out-of-the-way, Butler County Sheriff’s Chief Deputy Anthony Dwyer said. The shooting took place in the school’s cafeteria.

All schools in the district in Butler County’s Madison Township were placed on lockdown, which was lifted shortly after 12:45 p.m. Roads to the school quickly backed up with parents and relatives trying to get to the school to pick up students.

Bob Hollister, of Trenton, whose grandson attends the school, said he had been sitting in his daughter’s van for about 45 minutes when the lockdown was lifted. He has another grandchild in grade school. He described the morning as “chaotic.”

When he first arrived, Hollister said he saw police with shotguns and assault rifles.

http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/4-wounded-suspect-in-custody-at-ohio-high-school/ar-BBq9NoE?ocid=ansmsnnews11

Seriously, assault weapons—school lockdowns, and general crises and mayhem—over essentially a couple of kids having a fight?  Sure a gun was involved, but it was a relatively harmless conflict that could have been resolved quickly and without so much fanfare.  The kids weren’t killed and the shooter had much more systemic problems to deal with which provoked him to resort to a firearm to inflict harm that all the adults around him obviously missed and didn’t take the time to diffuse leaving all the public officials running around patting themselves on the back for being nearby and making much more of the incident to garner more national attention.  Honestly, the case should have been diffused in the media as it was within moments with the on-site cop.  The threat neutralized—which it was.  And that should have been the end of it.  Everyone should have stayed in class.  All the schools should have remained open.  Sheriff Jones shouldn’t have even been on the radio talking about the issue with Bill Cunningham on 700 WLW dramatizing the issue like it was the end of the world.  Everyone wanted to be a hero as the situation was clearly blown up to make it part of a national effort by progressives to demonize guns and install fear into the weak.

Just a few days earlier I was doing some shooting with some people who don’t spend much time around guns.  I was displaying my Cowboy Fast Draw set-up and how the wax bullets work in target shooting and everyone wanted to know if the gun was real.  When I explained that the .45 Vaquero that I was using was in fact a real gun that would feed real bullets in its current form a slight fear washed over the observers.  That fear was totally unfounded, but was put there by a media culture that has taken issues like this Madison Junior/Senior High School shooting and blown them out of proportion to inflict negative opinion against firearms for the progressive aims of banning them.  Every little issue where shootings come up is highlighted to drive the point home and feed that fear into people not privy to their frequent use.  This shooting at Madison was so small it shouldn’t have been reported outside of the immediate media market—because it was essentially a non story—a dispute among teenagers. But because it happened in a public school and the public police force needed to justify themselves—much more was made of the issue for the benefit of marketing government services to the public at the expense of Second Amendment freedom.

The fault of the issue is in the parents who obviously did not have control of their child and allowed the kid to think it was OK to take a gun to school and shoot some other kids.  Somewhere the parenting broke down to allow the incident to occur, and that is the root cause of the tragedy. But since government has for many years designed their public school system to triumph over parenting leaving neither party to do the job very well—as parents now defer the responsibility to the schools and schools when something like this goes wrong on their watch defer to the parents—kids are raised by media to copy off movies, music, video games, and every panic driven estrogen laced diatribe on the nightly news.  There is no mystery why this 14-year-old shot some kids at a school—it’s because he had terrible parents—and the school fostering peer pressure incessantly missed the opportunity to let some steam off the situation before something like this happened.

Parents of the Middletown School system were even more embarrassing.  Many showed up to rescue their children from the clutches of danger imprinting on the minds of the youth forever the anxiety of that tragic day on a leap year February.  What they should have done was explained to their children that there was nothing to fear, the situation was solved within minutes of the shooting.  But the parents were guilty themselves of making too much of the situation because they wanted to go back to their offices and bloviate how their children were involved in a mass school shooting so that they could garner some sympathy and secret need for attention.  The parents behaved abysmally.

Everyone abused the situation without diagnosing the cause of the quandary.  Instead the situation was perpetuated for the furtherance of statism in all its grotesque forms seeking to profit off the misery of a diabolical tragedy.  At the conclusion of the news cycle on the story guns were made to be feared even more, acceptance of more police presence in our lives made more fashionable, and schools had a chance to show themselves as the umbrellas of safety and decision herding around a bunch of panicky ill-equipped parents under the authority of the “state.”  And the forces of government expansion had a field day exposing the misery of a small town school and a fight between a few teenagers for the furtherance of statism through a gradual decline of the American love of firearms.  The whole scene showed why most people just aren’t intellectually equipped to manage a constitutional republic—and that is the fault of our public education system.

Donald Trump the Alinsky Killer: How to protect the Constitution

So, it’s Super Tuesday and Donald Trump is well on his way to being the Republican nominee.  Along that path, a lot of people have said some really stupid things—the entire process has devolved into a lot of name calling, and the remaining candidates are now lobbying for a brokered convention to justify all the wasted time they’ve poured into runs for president that were fruitless for months now—and were too stubborn to see it.  Some from the Tea Party side of things who have had their eye on Ted Cruz have been mad at those of us supporting Donald Trump as if they knew something we didn’t about the Constitution—and had somehow not considered all avenues.  It wasn’t one specific person, but was the typical Freedom Works crowd who have done wonderful work over the years, but have found themselves only looking at one side of the strategic fight.  Things have not worked out the way they wanted and they are upset about it.  But they better get over it pretty quick.  Things are going to be moving very fast from now on.  History is happening; we are in another American Revolution.  Thankfully this time it’s not an armed revolt.  This time—so far—it’s at the voting booth.   If people let the process work, we should hope that everyone keeps their guns holstered.

The Constitution is just a bunch of things written down on paper if we do not have a society that is committed to honoring them.  For the Constitution to work, American society must not reverse course back toward an aristocracy based on European history—but needs to evolve into its own after over 200 years of evolution.  For the Constitution to work, we must have secure borders, a strong economic system, a sense of national pride, and a sincere resistance to the United Nations imposition that we have been experiencing for way too long.  I don’t spend much time on conspiracies, but without question historically speaking, there is a global government that is trying to emerge and every candidate running for President but Trump is in on the game through finance. Our nation has been sold out a long time ago by many of the people who are angry at Trump now—people like John Boehner, Mitt Romney, Karl Rove and many others.  (Boehner invited the Pope to address congress—who is obviously a global oriented socialist).  I don’t think all those people are bad people, or are even malicious, but they don’t understand the game or how it’s really played.  They only accept their role in Beltway politics and dare not to crawl out from under it.  But someone needs to and it needs to happen in 2017 or we will lose our country forever.  I am 100% sure of it.  If we lose our country, the Constitution and all our history won’t mean a thing.  You can’t be in debt as a country more than a collection of most countries yearly GDP and expect your country’s Constitution to hold value.  Remember, he who has the gold, rules.  If you don’t have any gold, you can’t rule—and if you aren’t in charge, you are subject to the whims of whatever governing body is—in this case the United Nations is positioning itself to become that entity much to American disadvantage.

Trump is capable of conducting himself in the most serious fashion, and I have no concern about him being presidential—and solving really complex problems.  He is not a circus master.  But remember dear reader, I put this dilemma out to area Republicans over four years ago when I said we needed to fight Saul Alinsky tactics with sheer aggression—and many people squawked at that.  We have tried to put the book Rules for Radicals in the hands of John Boehner to read and understand what Republicans are fighting against—but he never embraced it.  John Kasich ignored our warnings—and the Karl Rove Republicans continued to maneuver the party down a path toward continued failure—failing to understand what the real fight truly was.  Again, I have talked about it often.  I’m not the only one who has either.  I’m hardly a conspiracy theorist.  I am in all aspects of my life very good at identifying problems and knowing how the dots connect.  When I was younger and without a track record I could understand that people might have been skeptical—but history has certainly been on my side.

I worked closely with Rob Portman when he was running for congress in 1992.  I have the videos to prove it.  He was full of fire and gumption and he was going to be a Ross Perot reformer.  He reminded me of the type of person that Ted Cruz is now.   I’ve seen all this before.  Well, Rob won his seat in a spring 2013 election and for about four years he held his ground.  After that he became part of the Washington establishment and now he’s pretty much worthless.  He’s a nice guy, but he did not have the fight to hold his ground against the insurrection that is afoot—a silent killer of liberty that comes at conservatives from every side by way of the strategies of Saul Alinsky.  I have watched these traditional Republicans get beat every way possible for three decades now and it’s time to put a stop to it.  A carbon copy of George Washington won’t do it.  We have to identify the fight that is before us in 2016 not 1775, and we have to implement a correct strategy to our current situation, not one from history.  It is good to learn from history—but we also have to be cognoscente that we are living history right now.

As a Trump supporter, I think of him as an Alinsky killer.  Saul Alinsky taught that the white middle class could be goaded into paralysis and indecision by using guilt against them—and that is exactly what has happened.  Trump doesn’t feel guilt, or harbor regrets.  He is very much from the power of positive thinking crowd and he sells it well to others.  That is the best approach to destroying the way the political left has attacked America and it is the only way to save it.  For years I have promoted the Overman concept, which is essentially a graduation of mankind from a kind of meager apologist into a new step—which some consider to be a “superman.”  I’ve even named this site after the concept, Overmanwarrior’s Wisdom—which is now Cliffhanger Research and Development because of a project I’m working on which further develops the idea of an overman within human society.  There is a need for these kinds of people to emerge and take charge of all management affairs across the world.  Nietzsche hit on the idea in his wonderful book Thus Spoke Zarathustra and Ayn Rand further developed the idea in her books on philosophy, The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged.   I am going even further with it in my work which I expect to fully develop over the next twenty years. Donald Trump is the closest yet to this type of person to ever having a hope of getting into the White House so I am behind him on the endeavor 100%.

Donald Trump was not born an overman.  He is not a perfect person.  He has made many mistakes over time—so he is no John Galt from Atlas Shrugged.  But he has learned from his mistakes and who he is after 70 years on earth getting better and better each year is very close to the kind of hero that readers of Ayn Rand know so well.  Trump reminds me of a combination of Ayn Rand characters ranging from the pirate Ragnar Danneskjöld  from Atlas Shrugged to the newspaper mogul  Gail Wynand from The Fountainhead.  I’d even go so far to say that Trump’s love of buildings is reminiscent of Henry Reardon’s love of metal and his need to buy “men” of Washington to stay in business.  Ayn Rand libertarians hearing that will likely have their faces melting off because they see Trump in the way that Ted Cruz and Glenn Beck have painted him—as a circus conductor that uses boisterous presentation to overcome opposition.  I don’t see Trump that way at all.  I see a man who has lived an authentic hero journey and has arrived late in life at a certain place that positions him to be the first of his kind.  And it is my strategic desire to see him give birth to generations of overmen by selling it to the American population over the next eight years.  There is nothing to compare him to, and that is wonderful.

I would encourage those not behind him to get that way rather quickly.  Trump is an opportunity to bring a real life Galt’s Gulch to America—for the first time.  The Republican Party should rally behind him the way that they should have gotten behind Ayn Rand.  For the same reasons—they fought her and the objectivist philosophy as they fight Trump now.  I know many people who are objectivists—actually hard core—and they disagree with me emphatically.  But, they are wrong.  Time will flush all this out—trust me.  Right now—we have to act—and Super Tuesday was just the start.  Even to those who think this is the worst thing to ever happen to them—they will learn in time not to be so timid and to understand that what is happening is what’s best for the American Constitution.  For the Constitution to be truly valid, we must have American sovereignty.  And of all the candidates running for president, only Trump can give that to America.  Overmen are sometimes born in nature—but only in America do we make them.   Donald Trump was made by American capitalism—and its time that we have a president that reflects those values for the rest of us.

Ted Cruz needs to run for president in 2024.  At that time we will need to fix a lot of things that have been broken for over a century.  So it would be good for him and his supporters not to burn bridges.  This fight is far from over—but before engaging, we all need to properly understand the nature of that fight and what it takes to win.  In 2017 we need to dismantle the strategy the left uses that it learned from Saul Alinsky.  That weapon of war needs to be taken from them, and Trump is that weapon.  That is the first step.  CLICK HERE TO LEARN A LOT MORE.

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.

John Kasich’s One Fan: The typical voter of Ohio’s biggest RINO

Look how relieved John Kasich, governor of Ohio, golfer with president Obama, loser to the labor unions, and Obamacare supporter through Medicaid expansion was when his one fan wanted a hug in front of people.  

That is weak.

Lisa Wells of WLW Arrested: Probably shouldn’t have went to the political center, Chuck

I’m not surprised.  Chuck and the gang at WLW picked Lisa Wells once Darryl Parks was out-of-the-way.  Looks like they made a pretty bad decision.  

She was a drug user according to her arrest records and a Lakota levy supporter–which is kind of the same thing.  She was WLW’s way of becoming more “inclusive” to a new demographic that hasn’t typically listened to talk radio.   Why do these things keep happening to WLW? 

Sounds like a management decision to me–the wrong people are in charge and they keep all the wrong people around.  They appear to let knuckle-dragging losers who get stuck on their own roof make decisions based on boobies and tax increase support instead of good hard logic.  CLICK TO REVIEW. 

For context to my statements, watch this video at about the 8:45 mark.

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

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!

Why Patti Alderson is Terrible for State Central Committee: Vote for Ann Becker and make the world a better place

As I have been advocating for Ann Becker to replace Patti Alderson on the State Central Committee seat it’s important to understand who the socialite is and why she needs to be replaced.  I often say there is a lot you can learn about a person by the way they dress.  Well, further you can tell a lot about people by their biographies and resumes.  Personally, I have found this particularly difficult for me to display myself because I have such a colorful background with so many aspects to attempt to cover.  In publishing for instance they want you to zero in on just things that are specific to the relevancy of your published work.  So I’ve never enjoyed doing them because they feel like I’m always leaving out bits of myself.  The same holds true for professional tasks—things you get paid for.  If you are doing high level work people don’t necessarily care if you like to read and climb mountains for recreation.  They just want to know what you can do for them and how much money you can make.  However, a phony is someone who tries to include everything they’ve ever done to attempt to pad their experience into appearing vast when in fact they are just social monstrosities who have only obtained anything in their life through their marriage and the luck of the draw financially.  That likely is the situation with Patti Alderson as she exhibited quite gloriously in the bio she provided on her campaign website.  Notice how she includes just about everything she’s ever done for anybody, almost as ridiculous as including going to restroom, taking out the trash, and hosting latté sipping meetings with Lakota levy supporters for the purpose of raising property taxes on residents not as rich as she is—then calling herself a Republican because the candidates gather at her house looking for a donation to their war chests.

Here’s the problem with this listing, if I listed everything I’ve done over the last 30 years—like she has—I couldn’t contain the contents on less than ten pages of similar exhibition.   I mean she lists things like her involvement in the West Chester Tea Party and her husband’s political endeavors as parts of her experience.  She also listed a phone bank on Election Day for George Bush.  Those are ridiculous things to mention.  For instance, and I only mention it because its relevant to this blog site and concerns Patti directly because of dealings I’ve had with her through mediators—but I would never consider mentioning the $10,000 that was donated through Yes to Lakota Kids and all the media work I did for that campaign as part of my “history” even though it was more than successful.  If I listed every little thing the way she has it would be a small booklet.  Patti’s involvement with the West Chester Tea Party is interesting—I went to nearly every meeting they had from 2010 to 2013 and she was never there.  She contributed some space she had in one of her properties to Ann Becker so that she could keep tabs on the group, but withdrew that support after Ann went after John Boehner’s speaker seat for being an ineffectual RINO.  The West Chester Tea Party was then booted out to the street to find another location as area establishment Republicans went on a quiet crusade to destroy the group.   I don’t see that Patti mentioned anything about any of that.  She just mentioned the West Chester Tea Party on her bio as if she were some kind of member. That certainly lends speculation to the relevancy of all her listings.

What I see when reading all this is a modern woman who is struggling to appear as a liberated female from behind the rather large professional shadow of her husband.   She doesn’t have much experience at anything except what the money they’ve made has allowed her to enjoy from strictly a top down position.  It’s easy to sit on boards of directors when the people who put you there only want the money and resources that you could provide them with.  It’s quite another thing to slug it out on the ground level the way that Ann has had to do—and earn everything that they’ve ever achieved the hard way. Patti’s bio is quite clearly one written by a woman wanting to appear as a self-achieving feminist who wants to be socially enamored.  Now that is specifically something she needs to resolve within herself and her family—but she includes everyone in her district when she runs for private office with public motivations that have an impact on elections with an obvious neurosis not founded in self-reliance.

I have seen Patti and her husband at a Tea Party event in Liberty Township where Susan McLaughlin and Katy Kern were singing praises to her for some contribution she made.  Patti seemed pretty happy to be put in the spotlight that way, which I suppose was nice.  But at West Chester, she shortly withdrew her support of Ann Becker’s West Chester Tea Party after the 2012 elections when Becker came out against John Boehner and John Kasich—because neither politician had shown themselves to be “conservative” enough.  About that time Susan moved in the direction of Patti, membership declined dramatically in Liberty Township at the Tea Party group there, and a small little war within the Republican Party emerged with people like Ann and I on one side, then Patti and Susan on the other.  Of course Patti is friends with everyone, at least socially.  However her actions behind the scenes can be quite scandalous.  Nobody of any authority has called her out on anything, because essentially they all wanted to be invited to her next event—for the opportunity to solicit funds for their future campaigns.  That’s not to say she’s a bad person, but from personal experience, I can’t say that she has anything of any experience to dictate that she’s anything but a socialite who sways to the political left, and intends to hold the Republican Party of Butler County in that philosophic position with her influence gained exclusively through campaign contributions.  Her padded bio adds fuel to that fire by confirming her vast insecurities as a modern woman who wants to be everything to everybody but can’t hide the fact that she just got lucky and married the right guy.  That might make her a nice neighbor and charitable donor—but to sit on an important seat in a significant Central Committee position that makes decisions for the future of the Republican Party—Ann Becker is by far the best choice.

By the way, I’ll never forget the events that led up to this.http://www.lakotaonline.com/videos.cfm?vid=10436

We made a deal before this meeting to not put the levy on the ballot which I was largely responsible for, along with others.  Patti was working with the board to advance a tax increase on private property.  And she wants to run the Republican Party?  She needs to put that on her “bio,” that she supported tax increases on property her friends develop.  She put everything else on there.  Why not that?  Because she’s a Republican in Name………………………..Only.
