TAMONTEN (多聞天): Protecting Betsy DeVos from the demons of public education

I was very embarrassed for the radical lunatics at the Washington D.C. public school that Betsy DeVos tried to visit on this date of February 10, 2017—because what they showed the world was that they could not be reasoned with.  Without any provocation on Betsy’s part, the radicals incited an incident proving that the only way to reform America’s schools was to destroy the grip the political left has on them.  There is no compromise, there is only war with those insurgents and their desire to corrupt the minds of our youth with their collectivist yearnings—much to the detriment of the United States and all things positive that flow from it.

The only image that comes to my mind when seeing the scenes of Betsy returning to her car with sign holding losers protecting the teachers unions within the public education system was of the Buddhist deity TAMONTEN 多聞天, the one who is all knowing, one who hears everything in the kingdom, one who is always listening, completely versed in Buddha’s teachings. Tamonten is said to be the most powerful of the four Shitennō, with the other three serving as his vassals. He was also said to be the richest of the Shitennō, for Tamonten was rewarded with great wealth after practicing austerities for 1,000 years.228

I met Tamonten formally on Mount Shosha in Japan.  Sure I had read many books about the formally Hindu deity who over time was incorporated into Japanese Buddhism.  But I did come face to face with him in the great wooden temple hall of Maniden far removed from the world.  You see, to reach Maniden you must go up a tremendous skylift from Himeji City many thousands of feet below.  Once atop Mount Shosha you have to either walk a reasonably great distance, or be bused to the foot of the temple entrance.  Even then, you must go up a great number of steps to even enter the vast temple. Once inside, you must go through the great hall and the many temple gifts hazed in color due to the many incense sticks burning there at all times to step into the prayer room where you come face to face with the four Shitennō who protect the Buddha from evil spirits.  Many of those Shitennō statues show them standing on the heads of the evil spirits who are attempting to corrupt the people of Japan and it was there that I felt like I was looking into a mirror when I saw the image of Tamonten.  Even though I was warned not to take pictures of the deities for fear that I might anger them—seriously—I took my iPhone 6 out and captured the image seen on this page.  I use that image as my wallpaper on my phone presently so that I can remember that day every day.  I liked Tamonten.  I understood Tamonten.  And it was obvious to me that we needed our own version of Tamonten in America.218

In a lot of ways Mount Shosha reminded me of the Great Smoky Mountains.  Geographically they were very similar.  The mountains were the same rounded type seen in America’s Appalachian Mountain chain, and of about the same height with the same deciduous trees only spread halfway around the world from each other.  If you changed out Tamonten for Jesus Christ and the typical hillbilly redneck with a shotgun in the back window of a pick-up truck for a 5’ 5” brownish looking person of about 120 pounds who rides a bicycle everywhere I’d say the two cultures were identical.  Their religions and remote temples saved them from the corruption of the city dweller that often possesses a neurosis that drives them toward statism to cure their intellectual depravity.  Tamonten’s job was to conquer those demons who possess those poor people who do lose their minds and surrender themselves to chaos.  The temples on top of Mount Shosha are there to allow visitors to leave the world of demons behind and to enter a world where heroes of thought and everlasting enlightenment reside perpetually—without fail.  And thus, you do not see idiots like those protesting Betsy DeVos in Japan thriving in the light of the day attached to our American institutions like leeches from an Amazonian rainforest—sucking up our tax money and draining the lifeblood of education from our children for their own enrichment. Figures like Tamonten exist in our mythologies because as humans we have a need to fight evil in all the forms it presents itself.  And that is why I like Tamonten and like to visit his image many times a day.  I can relate to such figures of majestic reputation. 249

I’m telling you dear reader that we are at war with the broken people from the political left and that the only way to end that war is to crush them out of existence.  There is no coexistence with them.  There will never be peace—because they chose not to live that way.  They must be crushed and we must celebrate that victory the way that Tamonten does in Japan—with our feet upon the crushed skulls of the demons who threaten our society joyously pronouncing our victory—without apology. 223

The violence and antagonism will get worse as Betsy DeVos implements her plans to expand school choice and free children from the chains of the tax supported teacher unions who have destroyed our public education system.  And when that violence happens we must think of Tamonten—and joyfully destroy the demons that control our public education system—because it’s the responsible thing to do.  A society that allows demons to possess their country cannot be righteous.  And a society to be whole must at least agree on the basic foundations of righteousness.  You can’t share breath with idiots like the DeVos protestors and expect a sane society just as Tomonten would never invite demons over to his home for cards and coffee.  He would only want to invite them over to their destruction—and nothing else.  And that is how we must look at these villains of public education who stand against Betsy DeVos. 229

The statue of Tomonten on Mount Shosha was just a symbol, but I did watch many people visit that shrine and pay tribute to the godly protectors of Buddha.  And you know what; they were nice people, everyone I met to and from Mount Shosha even down in the valley of Himeji City.  You know why?  Because the people of that Japanese city at least agreed on the basic premise of good and evil—and they had mechanisms of mythology to enrich their minds to be conditioned to recognizing those aspects in their living life.  And America needs its own versions of that.  Betsy DeVos needs to at least have her own Tomonten to aid her in fighting evil and I’m happy to oblige.  It’s fun fighting evil, and it’s my hope dear reader that you will join the crusade.  Because there is no getting along with demons—and the teachers unions of our public education system is filled with them.  We saw several of them today in Washington D.C.  And before the job is done, we’ll see a lot more.  That’s when we must put their heads beneath our feet and crush them, and to do so with big smiles on our faces for freeing the world of such a tyranny as those who currently possess our public education system.252

Onward Christian soldiers marching as to war…………………………because we are at war with the demons of public education.

Betsy DeVos Confirmed: Finally an evolution beyond the teacher’s unions

What’s better than the great Superbowl from last Sunday night, or that Trump won the presidency—or even a new Star Wars movie?  It was and is the confirmation by the senate of Betsy DeVos for the Secretary of Education under the Trump Administration.  You might recall dear reader that I started this blog site as a means to promote School Choice and other reforms to public education and in a lot of ways, Betsy DeVos is the end game goal for me.  Having her in place to take on the monopoly of the powerful teacher unions is a dream come true—so I am ecstatic.  And in a lot of ways, only someone like Betsy could even think of doing this job because she’s a billionaire herself and can afford to be ostracized from the public for the next decade, because that’s what’s going to happen as she implements reforms to public education.  But as my personal story shows, there is light at the end of the story and Betsy will come out of it fine even as the world around her crumbles down.  It’s the only way that a job of this magnitude can get done.  Here is just a preview from Fox News of the nature of the protests that will come from the teacher’s unions.

‏If her critics are to be believed, Education Secretary nominee Betsy DeVos is a danger to special education, could end public schooling and has plans that “will kill children.”

Think that’s hyperbole?

“That is not an exaggeration in any sense,” tweeted Vanity Fair film critic Richard Lawson, who fired off a series of tweets early Tuesday arguing that DeVos’ confirmation would be deadly for “queer and other at-risk kids” – because of DeVos’ support for voucher programs.

“Voucher programs will create systems in which queer kids have literally zero access to support apparatus bc they are in religious schools,” Lawson wrote. “Meaning voucher programs will lead to more suicides. Betsy DeVos’s policies will kill children.”

DeVos’ nomination is set for a noon vote in the Senate on Tuesday, and, despite the defection of two Republican senators, she’s likely to be confirmed – though by the slimmest of margins. Vice President Mike Pence is expected to cast the deciding vote in his role as president of the Senate.

But critics like Lawson have gone into overdrive in a bid to convince just one more senator to oppose the school choice advocate.

Democrats kept the Senate in session all night into Tuesday morning protesting the DeVos nomination on the floor. “The president’s decision to ask Betsy DeVos to run the Department of Education should offend every single American man, woman, and child who has benefitted from the public education system in this country,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said in a statement.

Schumer’s warning paled in comparison to some of the vitriol aimed at DeVos from the media.

“Betsy DeVos is the worst person to be around schoolbooks since Lee Harvey Oswald,” Bill Maher snarked on his “Real Time” show.

The New Republic urged readers not to “normalize Betsy Devos. Her views are simply much too dangerous.”

The things that excite me most in life are books and ideas—especially outside the box type stuff. When I step into a bookstore or anywhere there are large collections of books I see the various ideas and opinions of the human race hard at work.  I also like children because when they are little they don’t know that things are impossible—so they learn more from age 1 to 5 than they will at any point in their lives, and that is exciting to me.  It always has been.  I like smart people, I personally enjoy using extensive vocabulary when speaking because being smart is fun, and is a privilege specific to the human condition.  So education is probably more important to me than it is most people.   But my idea of education is far different than the typical teacher union member or politician who takes money from their mobster-like organization.

When I was in school I hated it. I hated every day of every hour of it.  I never liked one single year of it and was happier than I should have been to graduate from high school.  I went to college because people told me I should—but I hated it worse.  I felt the people around me were stupid and were not aiming to improve themselves in any regard—and that was the culture established by all public education from top to bottom under the flag of the Department of Education.  Much of what I have learned in life I did on my own by reading books and pushing life to its limits outside of school.  If I didn’t have to go to a public school, I would have likely done much more than I have which for a lot of people is incomprehensible.  But that was my experience.

When it came time to send my own kids to school I didn’t like it. In fact, you could say I hated it.  But I worked with my kids and taught them a lot.  I’d say they learned more from me than they did all their teachers and friends in public school because I made our time together work and filled them with ideas that I had learned from the many books I had read and thought about.  It was never that I hated education—it was that our American style of public education didn’t come anywhere near where I thought it should and it was making bright eyed nice kids into blithering idiots with each year of public school.  My kids were homeschooled for a while and actually graduated a year early.  Each of them spent their 18th years in Europe while their classmates were still planning how to get drunk on their graduation nights.  Both of my children today are exceptional in their abilities and headed toward very good things—one is a professional photographer that many think is the best in Cincinnati—the other is a magnificent illustrator on her way to many open doors which are now in sight and I can say that there wasn’t anything that public school or college did to make them that way.  It was a combination of great parenting and their own natural inclinations that were not turned off by their mom and me.  In fact we nurtured that aspect of their character and now that they are adults—it’s obvious, they are great people in every way.

So it came as some surprise that having raised two exceptional kids into adulthood that I offered my wisdom to other kids who I wanted to help grow up and become better adults. Because as I looked around there were so many stupid people walking around miserable that I felt compelled to help them.  That led me to challenge the public education system which of course unleashed the teacher’s union against me—which in 2010 EVERYONE was afraid of.  Having a history of taking on bullies I decided to fight back at them and I committed myself to that task and have been doing that for a number of years now.  My thinking was that my reputation was such that I didn’t have to worry about the teacher’s union harming me.  When they tried to attack me for being a back-woods hillbilly—the image didn’t stick because people who knew me understood that certainly wasn’t the kind of person I was.  And when they tried violence—well that didn’t work either—because after all—I’m a master bullwhip handler.  What were a bunch of teacher union radicals going to do to me?  So I had them beat both ways and have spent the last 7 years taking them on—sometime quite spectacularly.  I did many of the things Donald Trump is doing now well before anybody had seen it before—and the tactics worked—as I always expected them to.

I remember a trip I took to Disney World in 2013 when WLW called me after Sharon Poe had just been on the air talking about education problems. I was about to go into Hollywood Studios and was speaking to the producer in the parking lot over the phone.  The teacher’s union for Mason and Lakota had been getting bold again and Sharon had warned them over WLW’s airwaves that Rich Hoffman would have something to say about it—which went out to over 500,000 people that morning.  WLW called me for a comment for which I told their news department that if they (teacher’s unions) stuck their heads above the sand that I would crush them in Butler County.  If they tried to strike, I’d come after them.  If they didn’t stop pushing school levies to justify their step increases, I’d come after them.  If they did anything to create a new levy in Lakota or Mason, I’d work with Sharon Poe to fight them to the point they could never show themselves.  That’s when the producer asked me if I wanted to come on and talk about it on the radio and I told them it was up to them.  But that I would likely cause them to hit the mute button a lot discussing how those fat assed bitches who were simply latté sipping prostitutes with diamond rings the size of car tires and asses to match were bringing great harm to the future of our civilization by destroying our children’s minds in exchange for a fat communist inspired paycheck and that they were detrimental to the public education process.  I was about to go into Disney World after all with my family and I had said all this stuff before.  But WLW wondered if I had mellowed out a bit over the years so they could reignite the issue.  They declined to put me on which I was fine with.  I felt I had said everything I could on the issue and wasn’t in the mood to play nice with the school boards and the unions that controlled them.  I knew that only through elections could we hope to see the kind of next step corrections that were needed.

A few years later Trump threw his hat in the ring so I jumped on board because he was the next step I had been looking for—someone who would take all these regional fights we had been having to the next level. Trump of course won then did just what many of use reformers expected him to do—nominate someone like Bessy DeVos to the Department of Education.  She was the end game I had been fighting for and now we can look forward to seeing all the school reforms that people like me had been striving for in an effort to save children from the stupidity of a public education system ran by the teacher unions.

All the things that the teacher unions are now saying about Betsy DeVos are things I have personally heard about myself—but we now know how to break their backs. I’ve done it and the blueprint is now there for everyone to study within these pages—which many in power today have read and modified to their own effect.  I couldn’t be more proud to see Mike Pence cast that deciding vote in the Senate for Betsy DeVos.  It is the greatest news I’ve heard in a long time and gives me great hope that future children—such as my own grandchildren, might finally get a public education experience that does not seek to make them into stupid people—but into thoughtful adults who can carry our civilization into new heights of expectation.  Now good things can finally happen in public education and the unions won’t be able to stop it—and that is what’s good for kids.  Children have a better chance of playing in the street of a freeway in Los Angeles and surviving unharmed than they do in surviving public education with intact minds if the parents at home are not engaged.  And now, we can have a little hope that the danger of that reality will change for children once and for all.

Breaking the Neck of Liberal Peacocks: Saving the world from the Democratic Party and the insanity of their philosophy

One of the primary reasons I write on this blog is to help people frame the dilemma that befalls us as a human civilization—primarily this form of lunacy called “liberal politics” which is a condition of failed philosophy perpetrated by second-handers over many centuries in an effort to feel equal to those who have natural inclinations toward production—producing good children, good marriages, good businesses, (otherwise—good healthy lives.) Liberals are broken people who can barely manage getting out of bed in the morning let alone running anybody else’s life, yet as politicians that is precisely their proposal.  So they engage in all kinds of noisy tactics to fluff out their feathers and appear to be many things they are not.  As liberals recently came out in the masses to protests President Trump on his immigration policies—and other things—many conservatives who are quite intelligent asked me—“do you think they have a point”—or “do you think this will change the way Trump does things?”  My answer to all of them, which I’ll write down here for you dear reader to read, is that liberals are like colorful peacocks—much like the old NBC logo—they fan out their feathers to look large and complicated with their color texturing—but actually they are just scrawny birds with thin necks that are remarkably easy to break.  They hiss and make scary noises which looks and sounds foreboding until you discover that everything about them is a ruse—and that they are very easy to destroy.  So no—what they are doing will have no impact on Donald Trump because he understands what those liberal peacocks really are—just skinny birds easy to turn into dinner.   But often I need to write these situations out so normal people can see beyond the feathers to the skinny and lightweight structure which typically makes up the philosophic liberal and the disease of their existence.

There is word that Barack Obama is considering ways to speak out against Donald Trump as a former president and current head of the broken Democratic Party as a way to rally his troops of peacocks so to preserve their progressive gains made over the decades by being the squeakiest wheel in the room fluffing their feathers at every cause and scaring conservatives by hissing at them over every movement. Conservatives have politely yielded to these liberals out of respect and by taking them at their word because typically, conservatives are driven toward goodness and honesty so have no reason not to believe a peacock is anything short of a menace—because the liberal projects itself as such.  But Trump is another matter for these liberals and they really don’t know how to approach him—because Trump is willing to do something most conservatives aren’t—and that is to push aside the feathers and break the neck of the bird quickly—at the slightest provocation—and that has exposed the liberal left of their most serious weapon.

I thought heavily on these matters as I watched the protests against Donald Trump over the last couple of weeks as the Cincinnati media unleashed hell on a personal friend of mine, Bruce Jones who happens to be the fiscal officer of West Chester, Ohio. The tactics were exactly the same and were being done for the same reasons.  Trump was used to it, Bruce wasn’t and I understand personally how much of an impact liberals can have when they start calling you names that are clearly not reflective of the way conservatives typically live life.  So I write here to provide a sanity guidepost against the obvious tactics of the liberal peacocks out there who attempt to do so much damage just so they can maintain a seat at the tables of political power.  But those days are coming to a close for them and its time that as conservatives we stop putting up with them and just get through those fluffing feathers to break their metaphorical necks and be done with them—because there is no co-existence with their failed philosophies.  It is their task to adapt to the world as it is—not to bend it to their limited skill sets and world outlook.  We must do what we do—especially when the liberal left has openly attacked Donald Trump and good people like Bruce Jones essentially for the strategy of shutting them up and forcing them into a retreat.

The dilemma that Barack Obama and his followers of lost Democrats is that they fear by addressing Trump that directly that they will “normalize him” which sounds very similar to a tactic I saw used against me about five years ago when I was in the middle of the Lakota levy fights with the radical teacher’s union who used all these tactics on me hoping to change my behavior. It might be recalled that I was on the radio all the time, on television and in the newspapers every other week.  After all I was just getting this blog site started so I needed the press to build an audience—so I did all the media that came up as an opportunity.  And it worked very well frustrating the liberal peacocks of our community.  Yet, much like Trump does now, and I am proud of this looking back because I was the first to do it that I know of, I fought them.  And soon I didn’t need the media at all—because I made my own media and it had all the impact I could have ever desired.  I became my own Citizen Kane in the media making and breaking political topics with the natural gift I have of boundless words and infinite vocabulary.  And that’s when the political left had to say “uncle” and start working properly in our community.  The name calling didn’t help them then and it certainly won’t help them against Trump on a much larger stage.  The political left is done for.

You might remember the often quoted Scott Sloan interview that I did on WLW around the time that the women of West Chester came after me the way they have been Bruce Jones of late—and the story wasn’t a local one—it made the news of the entire media market of Cincinnati—so it was an attempt to “de-normalize” me in the eyes of the public using the media as a weapon—much like they are trying to do with Trump now—only Trump knows more about the media than the media knows about itself so it will never work. Anyway, Sloan asked me on the air if I thought I was hurting my cause by fighting fire with fire which brought me down off some conservative level and into the mud with my political enemies.  As he spoke I thought about who was asking the question.  Scott Sloan is a marijuana supporter who occasionally enjoys that product of stupidity.  He’s also a pussy-whipped conquered man who feels he must appease female sensibilities within the context of his marriage in exchange for sex—which a lot of men fall into that trap, the “yes dear syndrome.” That in itself isn’t bad—but it does reveal a lot about the person who falls into such traps—because that’s not what women want as much as they publicly proclaim otherwise.  So here was a person giving me advice on how to position my argument when I don’t have any such failures in my life.  Of course, I politely let him talk—because it was his radio show, and I typically don’t beat people into the ground just for having different opinions than I do.  But behind what he was saying was that old progressive stance of conservatives yielding to liberals on every occasion because somehow it was beneath conservatives to engage in mudslinging.  Yet liberals had no such restriction.  To my rational, which is even more persistent today than it was way back then—if a peacock comes over and bites you—you break its neck and eat it.  It’s that simple.  That was what I was doing to the Lakota levy supporters and what I’ve preached for decades—including on that WLW show with Scott Sloan.

Several years later Scott Sloan had on Donald Trump just before the election and the WLW host was certainly not a supporter—he obviously leaned toward Hillary Clinton. People like that radio host who are essentially beaten people by their wives, and who do not have the inner resolve to live a life free of drugs and opinions of conviction found Donald Trump repulsive—so the radio host took little shots at the future president in much the way he did against me.  And it is those kind of people who take collective stances against Trump marching around like idiots hoping that the squeaky wheel that is loudest will get the grease of politics—because it’s always worked before and it’s the only play they have in their liberal playbook.  The same liberal pile-on occurred when Bruce Jones—who is typically a man’s man—not that he hates women or anything—but he’s certainly a man of testosterone and masculinity who reacts with objection when he sees something obviously wrong.  So none of this is new.

My advice is the same as it’s always been, but now we have more evidence to confirm the validity. There is no reasoning with liberals.  There is no co-existence with them because their philosophy in life is just so wrong for the American way of living that has established the rules of our country.  When the peacocks fluff out their feathers and hiss at us, we just have to reach in and break their metaphorical necks—and just put an end to them.  We can’t let them run our government with chants of hate and disinformation built around emotional fears and a hatred of masculinity—even from those who think of themselves as men.  Chuck Schumer is a fine example of this—what man stands in front of a bunch of people and cries over immigration?  Nobody—at least who think of themselves as men.  Women are allowed to cry over such things socially—men aren’t and those are rules our society has designated for centuries regarding the conduct of the sexes with each other.  But we can no longer allow liberals to define the insanity of other definitions built purely on emotional fragility.  And liberals have to learn the hard lesson—that they are the defeated party and that they either have to adapt, or they will be overcome.  It isn’t our task as conservatives to make them feel good, or to give them a seat at the table.  And if they come up and bite us with their feathers fluffed out—it is our responsibility (metaphorically) to break their necks and put an end to their diatribes for the sake of humanity.  Nothing liberals have to say is worth the vibrations of wind that carry the noise that projects from those throats.  Save the world by putting an end to it—forever.

Rise of the Overman: What makes Donald Trump and how to understand “leadership”

To explain a baffling modern quagmire that seems to  be befuddling most of the world currently we must revert back to a little understood concept about human brain activity and how it learns, to begin to comprehend how an overman has entered the American White House and what impact that will have on future generations.  Notice that the name of this site is Overmanwarrior’s Wisdom—so I obviously lay claim to knowing something about these types of topics—and I actually do, which I practice each day and runs contrary to what many people have learned over 50 to 60 years of their lives combining advanced education exposure to those many years of experience.  They are often befuddled by my concepts of leadership which I developed instinctively, but were later confirmed to me quite scholarly by the fine book by Robert Persig Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance involving the theory of the Metaphysics of Quality.  For more on those definitions CLICK HERE.  But in regard to the present topic of what is happening in the world now that Trump is in the White House read on.

Leadership is not something that can be taught in an academic institution correctly.  When I think of leadership probably the best way to watch it develop was at an old Boy Scout activity I was involved in many years ago called C.O.P.E (challenging outdoor physical experience.)  Today there are leadership conferences that do similar things but for me that was the best I’ve been exposed to because it capped off an unusual childhood that I had around the age of 14 years of age and launched me into my teenage years decades ahead of my peers, it is worth noting here.  At C.O.P.E, myself and several other young people, guys and girls, were invited to participate in what constituted a series of obstacle courses where we had to find a way to utilize teamwork to navigate—like climbing a tall wall without a ladder or backward falling into the arms of other participants from a tall platform forcing us to trust other people—that kind of thing.  But what was intended to be an exercise in developing teamwork under difficult circumstances over an entire weekend in the pouring March rain of Southern Ohio turned out to be a confirmation of the uniqueness of leadership and how it is instilled—or not—in a young mind.

As the weekend progressed I was always the one who led the activities by default and solved the most difficult problems while naturally making other people invest of themselves in the process to feel like they contributed.  And the reason they listened to me—while some of the people were two years older was because I took away the guilt of their lack of leadership—but nurtured their natural inclination to do a good job which was unique to their experience and by the end of the weekend I had all the participants ready to run themselves through a brick wall by my simple request which amazed the event organizers.  My participation caught the eye of the Dan Beard Council Leadership Committee and within a few months I was running for president and had won.  But that lasted exactly one day because a kid was murdered at my school and I was blamed for it—which had some roots in reality.  Politically the Dan Beard Council couldn’t have me at the top of their organization with my name associated with dead kids assassinated by my own personal army of youth dedicated to preserving my name—which was how the newspapers framed the incident. From there I spent the next five years using my unusual leadership ability to wreak havoc among those who dared to know me and at a very young age I had Sharonville judges and the criminal underground listening to me the way the Dan Beard Council had before.  Always there were people willing to associate with the strong and I understood it from a very young age and learned not to abuse it for the benefit of whatever objective needed to be done.

I have since used that ability to do lots of things that people think are impossible which continues to this day.  In my book we are still in the early chapters but it is important to understand that in regard to leadership there is a science to it that is quite obvious.  Those who follow leaders are one type of people and those who naturally take charge of things around them without giving it a second thought are another.  Leadership skills are the most sought after attributes that the world desires.  People around the world value leadership traits in people more than gold and will literally pay anything to be near such people.  As a result of my experiences I live a bit like a hermit keeping my distance because in the past as I was tweaking my own ability I found that the byproduct to people in my wake led to literal insanity, drug addiction, and lots of death because leadership for most people is the strongest kind of drug and people who don’t have that trait desire to be near it often to their own destruction.  So I am very careful with my skills in this area.

Some of what makes young people into leaders is heredity but I am convinced that I could train any young person to be a good natural leader if certain things happened to them during their most conscious years from two years of age until about age 8 or 9. By then the natural inclinations of existence are set and the brain does what it has been programmed to do in the human vessel possessing it—male or female.  And the key ingredient to creating such a person is to not allow their spirit to be conquered in any way during this delicate period.  Babies are amazingly selfish creatures so rather than teaching young people to think of others so early out of the gate, children should be encouraged to continue developing their ability to manipulate the world around them well into those delicate years so that it becomes a natural function of their communication.  By doing this, and not spanking a child for a lack of obedience but instead reasoning with them like they are grown adults forcing them to arise to whatever occasion is being discussed, then their minds will naturally evolve toward leadership ability.  But the key is in not letting their mind, spirit, or body be crushed within their first decade of existence and allowing their ID to come to a nice boil on its own.

Our traditional way of raising children is the opposite, we teach obedience right out of the gate and within a few years our children are nice little dogs who sit, speak, and beg for food like a common household pet.  Then we are surprised when they grow up into adults who follow around other people always looking for someone to give them food or tell them to speak—and this is most of our present society.  Obviously Donald Trump was raised in a way where his personal integrity was encouraged and nurtured—which shows.   He is a completely unconquered human being who has never felt the sting of an ass kicking—which is a great thing for the formation of leadership.  When someone looks at another person and thinks—“they need their ass kicked,” or “they think their shit doesn’t stink,” what they are really saying is that they think such people need to be destroyed so that they can have the illusion of  equality as defined by modern society.  But it is precisely the lack of those elements in a child’s life that make them into great leaders later on.  That’s not to say that young people shouldn’t be challenged with great rigor. But it doesn’t mean that whatever is done to the young mind—they should never have their egos crushed by those in position to do so.  An older person should never crush the mind of a younger person just to satisfy the older person’s desire to be in command of another human being.  And leaders should never abuse their relationship with other human beings to satisfy some inner ego boost to their authority.  If leaders are raised correctly, they won’t feel a need for such things.

So in regard to Donald Trump, he clearly has this natural leadership ability and what makes him most unusual is that he has arrived this far in his life as an unconquered person.  That makes him an overman—a more than human participant in the affairs of the world.  If the average experience of a human being is a combination of submission and altruistic compassion—then the overman is one who lives beyond those measures.  What they do my involve compassion and other respectable observations of the human condition the way a human being might not deliberately trample through a flower garden just to destroy the nicely blooming plants that reside there—but there are added layers of value that only a leader at the front of the decision-making Metaphysics of Quality can comprehend.  That much was obvious from the first week of the Donald Trump presidency culminating in the personal White House meeting with Theresa May.  These meetings with world leaders are easy for Trump because he possesses a natural leadership trait that even those who have similar qualities admire and he uses that for the benefit of all.  Trump has learned over the years to use his ability for good and has mastered it late in life obviously under the careful understanding of a good wife who knows when to yield to it, and when to guide it with her own unique gifts which has made Donald Trump into something very special.  But it’s not what he says that makes him great—it’s what he doesn’t say, or do.

Donald Trump obviously was raised correctly.  His natural leadership was forged with good parenting, obvious genetic gifts intellectually, but carefully nurtured by parents who knew how to be demanding of their children without destroying them in the process by breaking them too early in life.  Donald Trump’s older brother obviously didn’t make it and became a self-destructive person leading to his early death.  But Donald Trump got it early on—and even though he was pushed hard in everything he ever did—he was never deliberately robbed of his natural leadership ability and crushed as a youth with an ass kicking, or an embarrassing public ridicule for which he would never recover.  And what he grew into was something unique and special.  But other young people could grow into the same if only we changed the way we parented children and taught them in schools.  Yet before we do that we have to make a conscious effort as a society to be more than human, and to yearn to be overman in our own way—for the benefit of all the world—by first bending the world to our ID and letting that creative process become something beautiful instead of resented.

Donald J. Trump: The Hardest Working Man to Ever Hit Washington D.C.

In case there are people who haven’t figured it out yet, Donald Trump often puts out controversial comments—such as talking about the number of illegal immigrants who voted against him in the popular vote—or discussing that he will send the feds to Chicago if they don’t get their homicide rate down—when he’s really about to do some big thing such as launch construction of the Keystone Pipeline or committing resources to building the border wall between Mexico and the United States, as he did today. He is the absolute opposite of Obama who used to say nice things in public then do bad things behind the scenes with sinister intentions.  Donald Trump says crazy things in public getting everyone to discuss those adolescent topics in a frenzy as he does very carefully planned strategic activity behind the scenes.  What has resulted, and what we can expect going forward, is fury of executive activity that will put to shame any previous president.  What we have now is a president whose primary hobby is working and he’s in a dream land of his own making—he’s retired from private sector life, he has infinite resources to work with virtually, and he literally has a pile of work to do that will never run out. While the press is still stuck on things Trump might have said three days ago or three weeks ago, they miss the details of the latest big action he is now taking daily and not even a multi-station 24 hour a day news cycle can keep up with him.  The Trump administration is running circles around the media and the established politicians and there is absolutely no sign of slowing down.  And Trump is just getting a feel for the job.

I was surprised to learn that I played during 2016 on the Playstation 4 game system 784 hours’ worth of gaming—344 alone on the popular Star Wars game Battlefront. I also read several books in 2016, played with my grandkids a lot—binge watched many Netflix series with my wife—traveled—worked with my many hobbies which included Cowboy Fast Draw.  I didn’t think I played Playstation so much, but as you can see the hours do add up.  The reason all that is remarkable is that I work an average of 12 hours professionally every day, sometimes even on the weekends—and I do quite a lot of work from home.  I’m a very busy person and I squeeze out of every day as much as possible.  I don’t sleep much.  On weekends for instance I get up around 4:30 AM to start my day and I usually don’t go to bed until around 11 PM or even midnight.

I point all that out because honestly I love to work—and I love to play—and my days are full and I get a lot done. With Donald Trump I don’t think he has many hobbies—I don’t think he plays Playstation—or reads many books—but I think he loves to work and is willing to do it 18 to 19 hours a day which adds up to a lot of productive endeavor.  I also think that in the private sector he got bored a lot.  His company started jobs and finished jobs and in between there were things to do, approve and scrutinize plans, zoning problems and other issues.  Occasionally he would be able to attend court and sue somebody or defend a lawsuit against him—but after 30 years of this ebb and flow he was looking for the ultimate challenge since he had mastered all that other stuff—and something where the workload never diminished.  So he ran for president.

Now Donald Trump is in a dream job, he has a good office to work from, resources where the American people have assumed the risk, and he can do what he loves to do most—his ultimate hobby—making deals each hour on the hour if he wants to—and the work never goes away. While some men of 70 might retire to the basement to work on model trains or build ships inside a bottle—Trump just wants to make deals because that is his hobby and it just so happens that being president of the United States requires lots of deal making.  So he’s very happy and truly in his element perhaps for the first time in his life—and he’s done pretty well up to this point.

So here Donald Trump is with a pile of work to do and seven days a week, 24 hours a day to do it, and he’s looking across his desk already in the Oval Office and he sees politicians like Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer winded by the increased activity—and he knows how to play this game with all the joy of a young boy. Only this work needs to be done on behalf of the American people.  He is quite literally catching America up on over 200 years of neglect.  So everyone is happy except for the people who got into politics to have an easy job.

I would dare say that most elected representatives on Capitol Hill only do about 5 hours of work per day and the same holds true for their various staffs. Even with the interns who do most of the bill reading, there are lots of opportunities for leisure, so there are many lost production hours each week that go unfulfilled in Washington D.C.  By the time they arrive at their offices—get their coffee—read a few emails—have a few meetings then take an hour or more for lunch, then return to their offices for whatever they have planned in the afternoon—5 PM comes quickly and everyone goes home uneventfully only to return the next day to do it all over again.  They get used to things taking a long time in Washington D.C. because nobody really expects to ever do anything.  But Trump isn’t like that.  He expects to accomplish things and he expects to do new things the next day.

It will be very interesting to watch how long the media and the politicians will try to keep up with Donald J. Trump. This horse race just started and Trump is already pulling way out in front and he continues to throw things back at his boot lickers and social parasites to divert their attention away to easily digestible topics suited for their limited intellect while he works on his infinite pile of blissful work unencumbered by their lack of understanding.  It is neat to watch for a lot of reasons.  It’s nice to see a president who truly loves to work for one—but it’s nice to see that pile that’s been sitting there for decades of things that needed to be done actually getting attention.  There is no way to know what happens next—but at least work is happening—and that’s always a good thing for a productive country full of people in need of that necessity for output.

Radical Women Protest Trump in Washington D.C.: The alligators in the swamp cling to life as the water which hides them evaporates

It looks like the Trump inauguration scared all the progressive groups—feminists, socialists, government employees, union workers, what’s left of the Democratic Party, Hollywood actors, losers and in many cases combinations of all those categories.  So there are larger demonstrators in the various cities—particularly Washington D.C., than were originally planned for—which isn’t necessarily a bad thing.  By the look of many of them, they could use some walking because they need the exercise.  The truth of the matter as I listened to a few of their speeches is that there are some happy men at home—boyfriends and husbands because their women are gone marching and not talking their heads off.  Likely those grateful men will vote for Trump in 2020 because he gave them a Saturday afternoon free of the neurotic, fearful progressives gripping desperately to the failures of the past.  There were some pretty good college basketball games on during this march and the men were able to enjoy those games while their protester women were working off some extra weight on the Washington Mall.  So everyone won.

But the news media wanted to compare the crowd size of Trump’s inauguration numbers to Obama and these progressive women attending essentially a free Madonna concert.  Those women obviously forgot that Madonna offered free blow jobs to their men hoping to get them to vote for Hillary—which didn’t work.  (CLICK HERE TO REVIEW)  But like a bunch of idiots they forgave Madonna and went to listen to her old liberal ass bloviate like a used tampon.  It wasn’t the Washington D.C. culture that showed up to the inauguration—it was out-of-town people who went with great expense to D.C. to see their guy become president.  The nutty government worker from Fairfax fearful that they might lose their job under a Trump administration once the federal budget cuts come were highly motivated to hit the Mall on Saturday as opposed to the rain on Friday—because they are with like-minded people at the Madonna concert.  On Friday it was those scary people from the farmlands of Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky that were there—and they certainly didn’t want to be around them.  So they showed up on Saturday.

Another thing that hurt the crowd for Trump were that leftist radicals running around the streets of D.C. near K-Street attacking Trump supporters, burning cars and breaking out windows—and they were allowed to do it.  I know many people who didn’t want to go to Washington D.C., because they were concerned over the potential for violence.  So that combined with the spotty rain reduced the size of the crowds—but that didn’t matter.  Trump had a great inauguration and it was one for the history books.  After all, he came to Washington to “drain the swamp” and these protestors are the murky ones who live off what’s in that dirty water.

The Trump administration will prove to be one of the best for women rights—and his background proves that to be the case.  The protesters around the country hiding behind this Women’s March largely acting out of fear fanned on by the mainstream media and many other progressive outlets hoping to stop what Trump talked about in his Inauguration Address.  After a few years, they will be voting for Donald Trump and not marching around as they are now fearful of tomorrow.  They will at that time learn that they are pawns to a larger game and they’ll be ashamed for the role they played in it.

So men, enjoy the day off from those noisy people who share your beds—hopefully they come back in better shape and quieter. If all goes well, you may get a few days of peace and quiet while they recover.  But for Trump supporters, don’t worry about the numbers.  That’s all the swamp dwellers have and if they all didn’t mostly live nearby in progressive communities—they wouldn’t be attending.  After all, when you start draining that swamp, the alligators won’t be happy.  And by the size of the mouth of a lot of the protesters, the alligators are already out of the water.

Jane Timken Wins Ohio Republican Party Chair: Gold diggers, mistresses, the media and Matt Borges

Let’s just say this—I told people right here on this blog site—which quite a few in the media around the city of Cincinnati read—often—that Matt Borges was out of power essentially on October 16th just a few weeks before the great election of Donald Trump on November 8th.  CLICK HERE TO REVIEW.  That information came from inside the campaign by people who know Matt best and the writing was on the wall.  However, the media chose to use the conflict between Trump and the Ohio governor John Kasich—for whom Matt Borges was loyal to—as a way to demean Trump’s grip on Ohio.  Well, as everyone now knows—which I predicted all along, Trump won Ohio by nearly 10 points all across the state in spite of the ankle-bitter tactics of John Kasich and now Matt Borges has been replaced as the Ohio Republican Party chair with Jane Timken.  Jane was a Trump supporter, Matt worked behind the scenes to sabotage Trump so to preserve a chance for Kasich to run again possibly in 2020.  After all, John Kasich started running for president in 2013 right after he lost the SB5 Bill to the labor unions and he moved to the political center—even left of center at times.  He expanded Medicaid for the Obamacare exchanges which went against the Ohio Health Care Freedom Amendment and he set himself up as a political progressive—which is what he was all along—only he hid it from us.  Many Republican leaders lashed out at all of us reform Republicans for several years chronicled on these pages and one by one they have all fallen from power.  And now Matt has joined them because he picked the wrong person to back and as I said months ago—the Republican Party in Ohio is now firmly in Trump’s corner.

Matt tried to sell himself as a unifier of the Republican Party and under his leadership more would be elected—but as we have seen—the best unifier is victory and Trump is the master of that.  Under Trump—there will be more Republican seats won in all positions from federal, state and local bids than at any other time in American history—so Matt and his buddy John Kasich are now on the political out—forever.  And they chose that fate.  When Matt leaned recently on powerful local Republicans during a power lunch opportunity—which the media was not to know anything about—he attempted to create doubt in those people by taking a position on the now famous Trump tape saying “he had never heard any locker room talk like that.”  That of course was a lie because anybody with a penis has heard that kind of talk in a locker room with other males starting in the 7th to 8th grade.  What Trump said on that bus with Billy Bush was essentially that—and NBC and the political elite—John Kasich included—attempted to capitalize on it to their own detriment.

Everyone knows that when a man achieves great power in life that some women throw themselves at them—and will let a man do anything they want in exchange for access to power.  Matt knows that, Kasich knows that—Trump certainly knows that and so did all the Republicans at that lunch.  It’s not some mystery in the universe, but what is insulting is when people understand these naturally human traits then pretend we don’t live in that world of reality by taking some progressive stance favoring social engineering which is proving to be quite destructive to the condition of human experience.  If you are a powerful man, some women will let you grab their vaginas almost anytime—but of course they expect something in return.  In the locker room—we call them gold diggers.  You probably know a few of them dear reader—especially if you vote in favor of school levies—because nearly all supporters of higher taxes for schools are these kinds of people—hence my term for them which is “latté sipping prostitutes with asses the size of car tires and diamond rings to match.”  Remember that?  Get a few drinks in those people and they’ll let you grab anything you want—in exchange for a sugar daddy, or a levy vote.  Go to any bar, or nail salon and you’ll see them—even sitting around the dining room of Applebee’s.

Matt as a leader of a political movement is supposed to be savvy enough to know these things.  So playing innocent to such decadence wasn’t becoming because it either showed foolish naiveté or the ability to say one thing and mean another.  Both are bad traits.  So he has lost his seat and he seems perplexed about it—but he should know better.  He picked a loser and there are consequences to those types of actions.

Honestly I am enjoying this trend under Trump to see women taking over these traditional positions held often by men—so I am a fan of Jane Timken becoming the next chair.  As crude as the world knowledge about the way men behave in the locker room—or at the bar sipping drinks and gawking after women as grown adults—women like Kellyann Conway and Jane Timken are remarkably free of that bad behavior that comes with most men—so if you really want to reform politics—it is good to have more strong women who do not behave with such gutter talk in positions of serious contention.  Because another secret to the behavior of men around women is that when they are around women who behave as quality individuals, men tend to elevate their conduct.  Men respect power and women who place themselves above the fray of the gold diggers are admired for all the right reasons, so the Republican Party is always in better hands when such women are a part of it—especially leading it. With Jane, there won’t be all the double talk that we had with Matt and that will be a relief.

When Kellyann Conway said that she could balance her career as a Trump advisor with her many kids and husband at home because she didn’t have a “mistress” this is the kind of thing she was referring to—a lot of men spend entirely too much time on such things and it eats up their productive output.  When they get a taste of success and start having some of those gold diggers approach them in suggestive ways—it can become like a drug because when they were younger and less successful, getting women to pay attention to them was much harder.  When Billy Bush giggled about Trump’s comments it was in admiration for a man who had climbed the mountain and now as a celebrity with a top rated television show on NBC gold diggers where throwing themselves at Trump aggressively and he seemed to be genuinely shocked by the experience.

Rock stars have the same temptations—women and men seek backstage passes so they can let some famous person “mark them” and from there they take that experience to elevate their social position among their peers in whatever dysfunctional way they can.  Successful people who move beyond that kind of nonsense, like Kellyann Conway are the really competent people you want to hold powerful position because they tend to be more productive without being enamored by the terrestrial delights of temptation.

With Jane Timken the Republican Party in Ohio will flourish as the old fades away into nothing and the new comes forward with great ideas and fresh approaches to the old temptations—which adversely will have much less influence on the direction of the party going forward—and that is a great thing.  The conversation of philosophic Republicanism will be elevated and Ohio will be a major player in the Trump administration under Jane’s leadership—but just don’t forget where you heard all this—way back in October when CNN was declaring Trump’s candidacy dead in Ohio and that Kasich would continue to hold the reigns of power—I told you otherwise.  The only thing Kasich is holding now is his bags as he will be exiting as governor soon—and Matt Borges will be with him.  If we really want to fix things and to have a strong political party we have to be honest about things—and people like Matt who say one thing then do another have no place in such a world.  They are after all just another form of that infantile locker room talk where people pretend to be something they aren’t so they can get something from someone else.  In women we call them gold diggers—but in men we call them something else—and they know the term.  And Matt Borges was and continues to be one of them—which is why he is no longer the chair of the Republican Party in Ohio.

Inaugural Balls

Three official inaugural balls are planned featuring appearances by Trump, including one being dubbed the Big Apple Ball in Washington but with New York-themes dominating under Trump’s personal direction, according to TMZ. Details are still developing.

Here’s a list of other, unofficial balls:

Deploraball, 7 p.m. Jan. 20 A $250 per plate event that takes eponymous pride in Trump nemesis Hillary Clinton‘s claim that half of his supporters are “deplorables” is no joke, though there’s a lot of snark and sarcasm inherent in this event and its promotion. The reception begins at 7 p.m. at the Bolger Center in Bethesda, Md., just outside Washington, with a silent auction to benefit veterans and event host Gays for Trump, followed by dinner and dancing at 8 p.m. This event has publicly illuminated growing fractures among Trump’s most fervent supporters among the so-called “alt-right” who helped create the ball via a social media group known as MAGA-3X. Organizers who hoped for an inclusive “big-tent” event have butted heads with event co-founder Tim Treadstone, who has posted homophobic and anti-semitic remarks via @BakedAlaska on Twitter. Milo Yiannopoulos, a Briton who works as an editor for Breitbart News known for acerbic commentary on and off Twitter where he was recently banned, reportedly is scheduled as a guest of honor.

The Russians Didn’t Make Democrats Lose the 2016 Election: Why ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ ratings are down and actors have little value

As it was clear from what I’ve written and spoke about, the Obama administration was joke from the start never showing any signs of competence from day one of his presidency.  It had nothing to do with the color of Barack Obama’s skin, where he grew up, who is mom and grandparents were, not even the fact that we’re really not sure who his real dad was—Obama was an idiot because he was a radical carried through life by other radicals and plopped into the White House to dismantle the “imperialism” of the American way of life—from the point of view of card-carrying communists—like Frank Marshall Davis and Obama’s personal friend the domestic terrorist Bill Ayers.  During the election of 2016 the evidence of what many of us always suspected was revealed through Wikileaks and Obama had his hands all over the embarrassment.  Election night for me when Donald Trump won was one of the best days of my life—my family celebrated extensively, and we will again celebrate when Trump is inaugurated on the 20th of this month because a great evil had been destroyed utterly on that night and it was obvious on the faces of the elite leftist media.  Finally America had come to its senses and voted correctly.  It took the massive failures of Obama to finally wake America up—but at least it had finally happened, and it was cause for celebration.

So regarding this notion that Russia hacked the American election to put Trump in power is just another Obama failure derived from his world view that everyone but him was at fault and the idiot is inclined to incite World War III rather than admit the failures of his party—and of himself.  His behavior in letting the intelligence community, the media which he controls, and his political party blame the Russians for their loss shows to what extent Obama will go to wash his hands of his obvious failures—and declares why that idiot should have never been president to begin with.

Of course Putin wanted someone to be president who was friendlier to his administration—likely the entire world wanted such a thing except for those seeking global communism through the “greenie weenie” movement.  But to say that Democrats lost the presidential election because of Russia is immature, and ridiculous.  Hillary Clinton lost because she was a terrible candidate who had been caught in many lies, and she was up against a rival who didn’t mind getting dirty in the trenches of war.  To suggest that Russia’s Putin manipulated the election is just ridiculous—and hypocritical.  After all, Obama just recently attempted to manipulate the election results in Israel, so who did what to whom?  Trump won because he was the better candidate.  End of story.

But what’s been even more humorous has been the entertainment community’s reaction.  They actually think that they know something that the rest of us don’t.  When a group of silly Hollywood actors put out a video shown on this article demanding that congress stand up to Trump I knew I had seen the highest of audacity among the political left now desperate to maintain any stranglehold on a coming reality.  That reality was very obvious when Chuck Schumer—whom I’m no fan of—changed his tone in the senate this past week to work against Trump’s cabinet picks and the dismantling of Obamacare.  Trump responded quickly that Schumer was the leader of a group of clowns and that’s how it’s going to be people.  Liberals stuck their sticks in our eyes for a long time and we were nice enough to not stick them back—but now—all that’s done.  We’re fighting back, and we’re cutting out eyes, and even tongues if we need to, because Trump represents a peaceful insurgency of Americanism and this is just the tip of the iceberg.  Hollywood actors get paid to say things on-screen, so nobody but the dumbest young person or government addict believes anything they say—so their protests against Trump do nothing but separate themselves from the bulk of American population.  For the millionth time, we are not a “democracy.”  We are a “republic.”  Learn the difference and only then can we start to have a conversation that doesn’t lead to the complete destruction of the political left in America—because that’s where I’m at.

I have no tolerance any more for the stupidity I hear from those idiots—Obama being the most recent leader.  Who cares if some Hollywood leftist doesn’t want to sing at Trump’s inauguration?  Someone will, and they will become famous because they did.  Who cares if a bunch of loser fashion designers don’t want to dress the first supermodel first lady we’ve ever had in America?  Someone will, and they will become blockbusters with success because of it.  The political left and all their media connections have no power—see where I’m going with this.  They believe falsely that they can stop productions of the Trump administration with these tired old tactics, but they can’t.  Melania Trump will have a dress made by someone and she will look like the billions of dollars that she’s worth and whatever leftist designer stays home will soon be forgotten—because the value is in Melania—not the designer.  Same with Donald Trump—he created his own value—the “industry” didn’t make him.  Trump didn’t become popular because of “Celebrity Apprentice.”  Celebrity Apprentice was made great because Trump had a successful career that people wanted to know more about.  NBC didn’t make Trump—Trump made NBC.

Arnold Schwarzenegger was brought in to Celebrity Apprentice because Donald Trump left to become president and the ratings are tanking.  NBC executives are mystified as to why because in their eyes there is no difference between Schwarzenegger and Trump—both are big men who are celebrities who have a history of saying great one liners which appeal to fly-over-state America.  The opening night of Celebrity Apprentice 2017 drew a measly 4.9 million people and was down 35% from 2015’s Donald Trump led episodes.  Executives at NBC really don’t get it but I can tell them.  I watched that last Terminator movie on a long oversea flight recently and it was terrible.  The Terminator films just aren’t very good without Jim Cameron making them.

Arnold Schwarzenegger is a pretty good actor if he has top-level production support, but he doesn’t make a film work.  He works well in films that already work—like most actors.  If I hadn’t been stuck on a 13 hour flight—I would have turned the stupid movie off—because it was that bad.  NBC executives made the same mistake with Schwarzenegger—they thought he could act like a businessman who had built up a life of successes—the way Trump did.  When Trump scowls at a program manager who failed in a task on that show—it meant something because Trump had been there and done that at some point in his life.  But when Schwarzenegger does it—it’s an empty expression.  The scowl means nothing because Schwarzenegger is just an actor.  When Trump scowls it’s because he and the person he’s scowling at know Donald Trump is perfectly capable of doing the job better—because he has—so failure in his eyes mean something.

It’s this kind of competence that Barack Obama is terrified of because Democrats have hooked themselves to his star and within a few weeks Donald Trump is going to outshine everything that these leftists have ever dreamed of by way of radical actions taken against America.   And their only answer to any of it has been to “strike,” to not attend the Inauguration, to drag ass on Capitol Hill, to make blank threats through the media, and to blame the Russians in a pretty hostile way including a very embarrassing visit this past week to congress to brief those representatives from James Clapper himself.  I’m sure Clapper is a nice guy—he reminds me of the kind of guy who should be a Wal-Mart greeter—but to be in charge of American intelligence in any capacity was a terrible hiring choice—because the guy is horrendously incompetent.  And for that idiot to declare to Capitol Hill that the “Russians did it,” was not only stupid, reckless, and lazy—but it was irresponsible.  Democrats did not lose because of the Russians.  They lost because they “suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuccccccccccccccccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They sucked big time in that last election.  They have lost house, senate and governor seats and they will lose a lot more.  Trump knows what he’s doing and not even Republicans are ready for his swift action.  But Democrats like Schumer and those other tired idiots who have evolved under Barack Obama—they don’t stand a chance.  They didn’t lose because of anything that Russia did—but because of what they did, praying to pagan gods as revealed by Wikileaks, putting their fate into a criminal candidate, and not even taking enough time to set up a decent password for their email accounts because at heart they are lazy fools those Democrats—the best of them are lazy fools.  The worst of them are just drug addicted over-sexed losers worthless on the world stage and they have no future as a party.  And those are the facts.

Hillary Clinton Stinks: Podesta says she smells like “a combination of boiled cabbage, urine and farts”

I know a lot of people think the choice of Hillary Clinton as the Democratic nominee for President of the United States stinks—but apparently, she quite literally does.

According to ClashDaily, newly leaked email from Hillary Clinton’s Campaign Manager John Podesta is titled “Hillary actions / unpleasant odor.”

“People tell me that Hillary is acting ‘like a retard’ since her head injury,” wrote Podesta on March 22, 2015. “Frankly, considering her normal behavior, I’m surprised anyone noticed! (this is a joke!) Have someone talk to her doctor and see if there’s anything he can give her.”

“Also, I’ve noticed she’s had an ‘odor’ lately,” he continued. “It reminds me of a combination of boiled cabbage, urine and farts. I’m guessing it’s either connected to her fall or simply the fact that she rarely bathes.”

“Outside of encouraging her to take a shower once in a while, I don’t know what to do about this. — any suggestions would be appreciated.”

That is the kind of thing that Hillary’s friends say about her.  What does that tell you–beside the fact that she smells like boiled cabbage, urine and farts.
