Too Much Compliance Will Destroy Your Business: When they put a gun to your head, don’t follow their rules

One of the most foolish things anyone can be is too compliant.  It’s one thing to follow the rules, as everyone agrees to them.  However, compliance for its own sake is a misguided approach.  People should question reality more, and they certainly should question the kind of people who make the rules by considering the cost of those rules.  Many individuals in the world create rules that primarily benefit themselves and rely on a group of people who are too compliant to question those rules, thereby fueling a great deal of evil in the world.  I interact with many people in high-compliance industries, so what I’m talking about is based on a lot of personal observation that is a serious impediment to productive enterprise, and it’s such a problem that it deserves a topic of its own.  Something that doesn’t get dealt with nearly enough.  When a robber holds a gun to your head and says, “stick ’em up.”  And then proceeds to rob you of everything you’re worth, leaving you entirely at the mercy of the villain; that’s a bad thing.  Then, once the robber has robbed you and you have complied with everything they said, hoping that they would then reward you by letting you live another day, everything you gave up would be expected to pay that price.  But the robber shoots you in the head anyway.  We could point to many times in history where this kind of thing happens, nice, compliant people end up dead and thrown away like dogs, just because they did what they were told to do by people making rules intentionally meant to get control over masses of people for malicious purposes.  And as much as it’s uncomfortable to hear, many of the rules we have in society were made by people with bad intentions. 

So in high-compliance industries, like finance or the legal profession, doing what you’re told to do is a bad idea.  Because the rules never favor the person with a gun to their head.  So if you do what they ask you to do, don’t be surprised when they shoot you after they’ve robbed you blind.  As I have said many times and have made it quite clear in my book, The Gunfighter’s Guide to Business, the rules in the world are often made by the losers so that they can have a world that makes them competitive to their betters, people who actually know what’s going on.  Many people in the world are not very intelligent, and they want to feel equal to those who are exceptionally skilled. To achieve this, they often enter professions that involve creating rules, thereby feeling more equitable.  And if allowed, which they have been in America to far too great an extent, they will ruin society as a whole.  And people, most people are too lazy to question the rules that are made for them, so they fall on the crutch of compliance to justify their laziness.  “I was just doing as I was told,” as if to justify evil with the merit of following directions.  This isn’t the kind of rule following that would make it logical not to go out and kill people, or not to speed down a sidewalk with a motorcycle that is crowded with people as a reckless operation.  This is an overly litigious society full of know-nothings who hide their cowardness behind too many rules and regulations to the point of personal destruction that they use to feed off the very few in life who actually do anything. 

The way to win against those who count on compliance to rule the world is to do what they don’t expect you to do.  Do not let the hoop setters dictate the battlefield, as they intend to impress observers by setting them on fire as you jump through them.  Do not be compliant with the rules that those types of people make, and allow them to rule over you with the fake value of compliance.  Because once the show is done, they will do away with you, as people have always done through history, and that is, they’ll shoot you in the head anyway.  After they’ve taken everything you’re worth.  The people holding a gun to your head are not ever going to be your friends.  They aren’t concerned about your well-being.  You can appease them with niceness and hope to be given a break.  You must reclaim from them what you have given away through compliance.  You need to break the rules they have set up to trap you by being defiant and forcing them out of their comfort zone if you genuinely want to win at life.  You will never win if you follow the directions of those who wish to destroy you.  Playing by the rules that evil people come up with will only lead you to your own destruction, because these are the kind of people who live off the lives of others.  They are ruthless beyond logic, and they exist in the multitudes.  So don’t be a sucker, and certainly don’t be compliant.  To me, being a sucker and being compliant mean the same thing.  Nothing good comes from it, and your eventual destruction is all those rule makers really care about. 

Obviously, I’m speaking to a lot of people here.  I’m thinking of several things at once that are equally applicable, involving many hundreds of people directly and many thousands indirectly. I take opportunities like this to speak to them all at once.  And when you take the gun out of the hands of the bad guys and turn it on them to pull the trigger ruthlessly, everyone will understand why.  But as a general practice, it’s worth pointing out that you can’t make America Great Again if those who aren’t very great are making rules that punish good people from doing good things in the world.  If bad people are making the rules, we will have a bad society.  We enjoy Trump in the White House because he understands how to turn these rules against the perpetrators, and he has made a lot of money over the years by exploiting the systems that bad people have created against them, which is what everyone should be doing.  Don’t follow the rules that bad people have made.  Do not be compliant with fools.  The world needs more good people to push back against stupidity.  And that is far more valuable than following directions when someone puts a gun to your head.  Remove that gun before they get too comfortable, and turn it back on them.  And use that gun to save yourself, and the goodness you have in you to make the world better.  The world can always lose a few more parasites, and most of the rule makers in the world are nothing more.  We’d all be better off with fewer of them.  So, don’t feel bad about taking their evil intentions and turning them against them.  And be ruthless in the process.  They deserve it.  They asked for it.  And for God’s sake, don’t listen to their cries for mercy.  Destroy them, because that’s what is best for the world.

Judge Boasberg is Out of His Mind and Should be Impeached: When throwing rocks at glass houses, make sure they can’t come back

Republicans should have already referred James Boasberg for impeachment for his judicial lawfare against the Trump administration for gross overstepping of his authority, an attempted erosion of the President’s Article II powers, and made an example of him.  We did not elect these judges into their positions; they were appointed, and if they don’t do a good job, there needs to be a mechanism to eliminate them.  And that is the complete case with this goofy judge thinking he has the power to stop the President from sending prisoners and violent criminals out of America, to an El Salvadorian prison.  And it’s not just in America but across the world. We recently saw judicial tampering in France to knock off a political rival there, who was up in the polls and poised to beat Macron.  We also saw judicial overreach in South Korea to remove President Yoon through impeachment.  What we are seeing on the world stage is essentially a replay of the Book of Judges from the Bible where flawed personalities are positioning themselves to have kingly power, which they abuse, and to use that power to remove the ability of people to vote for their representation, rather than having an authority system imposed on them.  This judicial loser, Boasberg, in Washington, D.C., is way over his skis, and he should be thrown out of his office by Republicans defending the President.  But this lawfare system evolved to protect the establishment from the will of the people, not to enforce their will, and we see it in literally every country.  The problem goes back to before the Bible, not just in the United States.  And too often, Republicans have their hands dirty from their own antics in the cookie jar, so when they need to defend a judicial topic, they can’t, because they played the game themselves and can’t cast stones against the glasshouse they live in.  Another thing I say all the time is make your life so that you can cast stones and shatter people’s glass houses.  And be sure to judge often.  And be sure, while you’re doing all this, to live in a house made of bricks and that it’s impenetrable to any rocks coming back at you.  You can afford to throw rocks at other people and break their glass houses, but they can’t do the same to you.

All this judicial radicalism reminds me of a local issue, and it comes up every week as a question given to me about why I don’t want to run for the Lakota school board, even though I get asked about it every week, many times a week.  One of the big reasons I have watched over a long period of time is that being elected into a school board position is useless because lawyers run the public school in my neighborhood, which was never clearer than in the case of Darbi Boddy.  To help with the school board issue, I have put my name behind several people to be elected or to sit on the school board and to help get management there that could represent voters and give kids a decent place to attend school.  But in the case of Darbi, one that I recently worked with to be on the school board, who I thought was doing an excellent job was removed from her seat by the lawyers who protect their system from the crazy voters who might want to manage their school system and the tax money that feeds these schools.  When they couldn’t get rid of Darbi any other way, a judge, who I know, stuck his nose into the situation and pitted one school board member that I worked with to get elected against the other one and imposing a restraining order that essentially kept Darbi from doing her job and getting her off the school board on a technicality.  So, for all those people wanting me to be on the school board and to do what I do to help voters have real representation, I live by a few rules, and I would never put myself in one of those positions where some stupid judge could throw rocks at me.  I throw the stones so that they never come back.

I felt so bad for Darbi because she wants to help politically and could be good in politics.  But the system wants to protect itself just as it has been doing with Trump, which is why you don’t see Republicans rushing to Trump’s defense in that Boesman case.  They like having these lawyers in control because it gives them fake power that is always enforceable by the invisible overreach of the judiciary.  And it’s in every local consideration.  Even I, knowing all the players, did not know just how bad the situation was until I watched that process work against Darbi Boddy.  Nothing changes because the lawyers run the schools, and the only people who survive on these school boards, no matter what they are, stick around because the lawyers let them.  The lawyers want easy money, and taxpayer-funded schools are ripe ground for exploitation, and there are always court cases when many thousands of people are involved, from students and their parents to unionized staff.  Lawyers run public schools, and I don’t like lawyers.  I do legal work for fun.  I think only con artists do it for a living.  And if I were on the Lakota school board the way it is now, it would be a glasshouse with a foundation of lawyers who keep it all held up, and that is not something I’m interested in. 

It’s good to have this conversation.  I love the idea of judicial oversight.  For fun, I spent considerable time a few weeks ago at the Supreme Court, so I’m certainly not talking about anarchy.  I know a lot of judges and have known a lot of lawyers over the years, and the key to those positions is that to do their jobs, they have to be good people.  And most people in legal work are not good people.  They are trying to hide from the world that they are bad people, trying to hide it with long black robes and legal scholarship.  However, the system itself is poised toward corruption, and you can hear that in the Boesman case, where he thinks he has authority over Trump’s Article II responsibilities as an elected office holder.  Boesman is out of his mind, and I would like to see my congressman, Warren Davidson, move to impeach Judge Boesman immediately for tampering with Trump, our elected representative.  But then again, many Republicans saw this all happen to a local politician, Darbi Boddy, and they hung her out to dry.  And let me say this, that would never be me.  And when we work to find people who want to be on that stupid school board, good, quality people are not running and staying on the school board because the lawyers keep proper management of the school, or the Executive Branch, from happening.  And until we deal with the problem of judicial overreach, where judges want to be unelected kings, we will always have a broken system.  And it won’t be reformed because the lawyers protect themselves with legal technicalities, so good work can’t be done because their targets are always in court, from shattered glass houses.  Don’t live in a glass house; be sure the rocks only go one way.

The Supreme Court Rules in Favor of Vanessa Wells and Against Lakota Schools: Lawyers run these public enterprises and that has to end

I think the courts are a poor substitute for dueling.  We’ve tried to bring a civil discourse to conflict management, but it hasn’t worked, and that is undoubtedly the lesson at Lakota.  We tried to help that public school in Butler County, Ohio.  But they are infested with dangerous progressive policies and expensive legal advice, which they have been wasting money on for years.  And they got caught in a lot of mess over the last few years, which I think only goes in one direction.  Once President Trump is back in the White House, there will be significant reforms to how schools are funded and managed, starting with the Department of Education, and lots of things will change in the public school system and the lawyers who run them.  And to that point, a small window of that kind of change was seen when the Vanessa Wells case against Lakota schools was heard by the Supreme Court of Ohio and found that Lakota had been deceptive in their attempts to conceal information from the public and they awarded Vanessa her information request and legal fees reimbursed.  It’s a story many of us thought from the beginning Vanessa Wells would win.  She’s brilliant on legal matters and is more intelligent about attorney issues than most practicing lawyers.  So they weren’t prepared for her and a small army of diligent moms, one of which did get elected to the school board, which caused them all kinds of problems.  Because they weren’t prepared for opinions, they couldn’t control those opinions through their standard practice of restricted public disclosure.  The Supreme Court of Ohio found that Lakota had acted unlawfully in its desire to conceal public disclosure regarding the actions of their superintendent at the time, Matt Miller, who eventually resigned over his actions once his bizarre threats of lawsuits did not gain traction.

When it was learned through a police report the kind of life that the superintendent was living, many parents didn’t want to pay his salary.  This issue won’t go away; there will be a lot more of this in the future, especially now that the Supreme Court has ruled the way it has in this Wells case.  I happen to know Vanessa very well.  Interestingly, many of my personal friends are involved in Supreme Court cases, but this one was big, and the case law that spawns off it indicates the future of education.  Essentially, public entities do not get to conceal information important to managing their taxpayer-funded endeavors.  Lakota schools got caught trying to hide the bad behavior of its employees from the public, which was revealed clearly in the email correspondence that the superintendent’s lawyer tried to enforce on a community they didn’t respect.  There was a lot of talk at the time that Matt Miller was going to sue the Lakota school system as he was still employed as the superintendent over harassment by the school board led by Darbi Boddy.  To make a long story short, the school board is the management body represented by the community and is supposed to have control of all these radical lefty employees in these public schools.  But what was revealed through this process, and because Darbi Boddy pushed the issue in less than polite ways, was the level of manipulation that truly goes on in the background by lawyers who run the schools.  The school boards are only there, in all public school districts, to give the illusion of public disclosure, the issue of civilian oversight that I have been talking about recently a lot.  Because it is at the heart of the problem in just about everything we discuss regarding government.  Over the summer, I have been a foreman on a grand jury, and that is the same kind of case there.  All the lawyers involved play a game of respecting civilian oversight while they work in the background to completely rule as unelected bureaucrats at every level, with what they think are complicated legalisms that only they understand. 

Working with Vanessa and Darbi, along with many other people, many of them excellent legal minds, we learned a lot about where the actual costs at Lakota schools go and how they seek to protect a kind of Never Trumper political agenda with ruthless zeal. Significantly, what was done to Darbi Boddy to get her off the school board and defend themselves from what is an inevitable future of public disclosure.  But part of that process was this little game that was exploited by the letter Lakota tried to conceal from the public where the lawyers are showing they are really in charge of the school, and their defense of avoiding public scrutiny was to threaten to sue all of us involved, and ultimately the school itself by the sitting superintendent who mistakenly felt that he had a right to privacy as a public employee that he did not have.  Vanessa and I received a similar lawsuit letter, which played out over this period, as did several others who were involved in having an opinion about the lifestyle choices of the superintendent that we found objectionable and even dangerous to children.  Vanessa, Darbi, and many others have spent a lot of money on legal bills to defend themselves from this public school’s poor management practices.  I laughed off the threat as ridiculously stupid and handled my legal matters on my own.  I approach those kinds of things to treat it like I do when I fix my cars.  I wouldn’t say I like professional opinions; I want to do it myself when something breaks because nobody, in my opinion, can do it as well as I can.  I work with many lawyers; if I need to, I’ll use them as a bandwidth issue.  But this case was clear to me at the start, and the purposeful attack by the legal people involved in Lakota were obvious constitutional violations, and I knew any court challenge would fall apart at the first stages of review. 

We’ve also seen this same strategy play out in national politics. It is undoubtedly a progressive trend that has been floating around legal firms for decades, and it came unraveled at Lakota schools in ways that only confirmed my worst suspicions.  When the threat came to us, Vanessa and I talked about it while I was on vacation with my family in a really nice place as we bought everyone ice cream on a scenic waterfront.  I became furious because such a silly matter was disrupting my time with my family, so I made a point to ensure everyone was paid back for that incursion in my life.  But what was so audacious about the threats was their designs to keep the public out of their business, so bad things could happen without any civilian oversight.  And the Supreme Court saw it the way I knew it would that day, buying ice cream for my family.  But to the level that these lawyers have even hoodwinked the school board members, that was shocking, and I learned about all of them far more than I wanted to know in this process.  And that system won’t be allowed to continue, I can say that.  However, there is a process, and the Trump election is the next point of interest.  Electing more school board members only to have the legal people attack them and toss them off so they can avoid civilian oversight isn’t going to be tolerated.  And that is what this Supreme Court case of Ohio essentially means.  And the angry moms out there know it.

The Phantom Menace of Jack Smith: Yes, you can indict a ham sandwich

It’s a question that comes up all the time, especially in regard to the federal prosecutor and United Nations lap dog, Jack Smith: can you indict a ham sandwich?  Well, I have much to say on this topic from many perspectives.  Recently, I received a card in the mail to report to jury duty.  So I went on the day it indicated and sat in a courtroom with about 100 other people.  I happened to know a lot of the people putting the whole thing on, and we had some discussions beforehand about what was happening and what everyone expected.  I went to court expecting the judge to let me go because honestly, my life is too busy for these kinds of things.  But during a conversation, I got a good measure of just how vital the grand jury was.  I had many questions about what happens on that side of the legal profession.  All the judge needed were 15 volunteers; they needed nine jury members, and the rest alternants, in case someone couldn’t attend one day, would be called in as a reserve for the proceedings.  During that process, I was made the foreman, which meant you had to swear everyone in and put your name on all the indictments and other paperwork that would be generated during the process.  Out of those 100 people, there were only 15 volunteers who put their hand up to commit to several weeks of grand jury activity.  The judge had a way of getting 15 jurors out of that group of 100.  But he had just enough volunteers, so he let everyone else go, much to their relief.  Throughout the process, the prosecutor, all the assistants, and everyone in the Butler County Courthouse went out of their way to make everyone feel important.  But a thin veil here took me a few days to sort through.  In that sorting, I learned a lot about our court system, which would allow people like Jack Smith to take advantage of it and make a weapon out of the law for pure political activism.  And to answer the question, yes, you can indict a ham sandwich.

I like Michael Gmoser, the Butler County Prosecutor, and all his assistant prosecutors, and I found things I liked about them all.  I would say that Butler County, Ohio, has a lot of good people working in it, especially in the criminal justice system.  We have an affluent county with many people in it, so we can afford to have jobs for the right people who want to do those jobs.  It’s not like the prosecutor’s office has a bunch of losers like Jack Smith working at it or the other radicals who have presented legal cases against President Trump.  The Butler County prosecutors were all good and engaging as if they wanted to do their jobs and work with a grand jury to put cases in a courtroom before a judge through the indictment process.  But the problem quickly presented itself, and I asked many questions to flush it all out.  The purpose of a grand jury is to provide civilian oversight over the government in the traditions of the American Constitution, which is to preserve the individual rights of people not proven guilty yet by the evidence presented to the court.  It was the grand jury’s job to ensure the government didn’t get out of control.  Now I know that Michael Gmoser believes in that process, politically and practically.  I see many politically active people attached to this law and order process believe the same thing.  But in the trenches of everyday activity, between the prosecutors and the cops working the streets, there is a lot of tired sentiment toward the process that is well deserved.

A grand jury is just a bunch of everyday people who suddenly have to jump into this legal world with people that work every day in that world and know their business.  A prosecutor or assistant can present just about anything they want to a grand jury, and the civilian oversight doesn’t know better than to scrutinize what the evidence tells them about the state’s revised code.  In my particular grand jury, we had all volunteers who wanted to be there, so we had engaged people who asked a lot of questions. When the door was closed for deliberations, we had good debates on the merits of the cases.  To ensure that the process went better, I went out and bought the legal book that the prosecutors were using so that we could flush out the crimes with accurate definitions in context.  And I would say our group was optimal because it had very engaged jurors.  If a judge had to drag people, kicking, and screaming to form a jury pool, as they often do, then the process for the prosecutors would be straightforward: have a jury rubber stamp their recommendations, which was the case in the cases against Trump.  A jury without much experience in law, or even a curiosity to get to know some law in a short grand jury gathering, will be entirely at the mercy of prosecutors who use the process of civilian oversight to impose government overreach against an unsuspecting public filled with lazy people who want to get back to watching television at home. 

So, for much of the summer, I had my criminal law handbook, and I have marked hundreds of laws that I think should be enforced but aren’t because the legal process works against justice by lots of invisible strings that have seeped into our society from a variety of scandalous characters over a vast period.  In Butler County, the prosecutors, as I said, are mostly good.  But in a community with fewer good characters, this process could quickly become a runaway train toward the slippery slopes of corruption. Not enough people know civics, and the prosecutors can manipulate them at will.  Looking through my book on criminal law, I see that if I were a prosecutor, I could prosecute thousands of laws on just about anybody on any given day.  And suppose I had to present evidence to a jury to overcome a defense attorney. In that case, I am sure I could do it successfully on almost anything, including prosecuting a ham sandwich.  The whole process opened my eyes to many more significant problems, but I am very grateful at this stage in my life to have had this experience.  Because it’s one thing to wonder about, it’s quite another to see it for yourself, and in my tenure, I learned a lot of valuable information that moved from the speculation category into fact.  I would say that being on a grand jury is one of the most important things a person could do in their community life.  It’s very much needed.  But it requires even more people to take that job very seriously because many lives depend on it to be done well.  But there are a lot of characters working now in criminal justice who do know how to take advantage of ordinary people on a jury and who don’t know which way is up or down.  And a slick, progressive prosecutor could easily have their way with such people.  In the case of Jack Smith, that makes him even more dangerous in my book, now that I’ve seen the process up close, and with the doors closed for weeks at a time.  I left my experience very proud of the work that was going on in Butler County, Ohio.  However, on a larger scale, these notions of United Nations world courts and Jack Smith’s role in them, openly working against our Constitution to subvert it for some globalist objective, became all too clear.  And for me, perhaps it was just the right thing at the right time to uncover this phantom menace while we still can.

The Police of Butler County, Ohio: One of the most important jobs in the world

Many excellent experiences came from my grand jury tenure during the summer of 2024.  As the foreman, I had the additional benefit of swearing in all the witnesses, and because of that, I was able to get to know a lot of the police officers of Butler County, Ohio, and pick up on a few trends that are not so obvious unless you get a chance to talk to a lot of them at the same time.  I’ve known a lot of cops in the past, but it’s a different perspective when they are in their professional capacity and providing evidence and testimony under oath.  And there’s that radical concept again, an “oath” where a person’s integrity is weighed against the judgment of eternity and God’s wrath.  Without that, what worth is a swearing-in?  After doing it hundreds of times now, it made it pretty clear to me that the true value of our culture resides in the ability to derive honesty out of a temptation to provide fiction.  Yet, it was good to see police officers from all different backgrounds and working shifts show who they really are, and in the case of Butler County, I felt a lot of pride seeing that admirable traits among them were not unusual.  My feelings about police don’t mean that we can spend infinite amounts of money on their jobs through police levies and other increased taxes.  If society throws its values into bed with the teaching profession, I’ll have to take a pass because they are different.  Police work is dangerous and complicated.  It takes a special kind of person to do it.  Many would say that is the same argument for public school teachers, but I wouldn’t.  I value police in a much different way than teachers.  There are alternatives to public schools that can provide a child with a much better education method.  But with police, if you don’t have them, and good police at that, then society quickly drops into the gutter as the riff-raff becomes emboldened and strives to consume society with crime.

One undeniable thing is that most of the police officers I met in Butler County, Ohio, were under thirty and had a lot of tattoos, especially on their arms.  That was surprising, as it’s an obvious war code among cops, even with women.  All of them spoke very well while providing testimony.  People who want to be cops are wired differently; we should be thankful they are.  Whatever their private behavior has been when they let their hair down and converse among friends, their professional demeanor is more than respectable, and it gives hope that with such people maintaining that thin blue line, there is hope for social reform that is productive, normally when we experience police officers, it’s under some sort of tragedy.  It’s probably under the circumstances of one of the worst things to ever happen to us, even if it’s a minor traffic infraction.  But from the perspective of a grand jury, where the top sentiments of law and order are presented to be reviewed by civilian oversight, the value of a reasonable police force is unmistakably apparent.  You can appreciate that the world is much better because we have law enforcement as a job.  Without law enforcement, who is there to ensure a community’s laws are followed?  From the legislature that writes the law under civilian elections and representation to the prosecutor’s office, which has to take legal infractions and prosecute them in court.  Without the police there to do the work and separate the lawbreakers from the multitudes trying to function freely under the rule of law, chaos is quickly the outcome. 

I felt sorry for many police officers I heard that presented testimony and evidence.  The legal system has become a very fussy occupation due to an abundance of lawyers and political pressures that have migrated into the Bar Association, which is tied to many hostile political forces.  Police officers put themselves at risk when engaging with a public on the fringes of sanity and social order.  And under those conditions, they (the police) have to tiptoe around the individual rights of every citizen when it would be much easier to bust people because you know they are up to no good.  It’s a slippery slope in how evidence and cases go to court, and if a police officer slips up while collecting and witnessing proof, the case will be tossed out by a prosecutor’s office for lack of evidence.  Most prosecutors are people who get jaded about what can survive a jury trial, and crafty con artists’ defense attorneys will punch holes into any evidence gathered, even if it’s obvious.  I was able to deal with some cases where the police were put in danger of functioning as cops, only to have the prosecutors dispute how the evidence collected was submitted for further processing.  Maybe there was a glitch in the body cam footage. Perhaps the police officer didn’t think to pull the street cameras that verified a timestamp on criminal activity.  You quickly get a sense that there is a lot of crime out there, but the only stuff that makes it to a grand jury and the result of a lot of police work is the terrible cases where the evidence is obvious. 

I was able to meet a lot of investigators as well, people who are older and have been around a while.  A pattern quickly emerges: anybody over 40 is a bit tired; they have presented evidence to many prosecutors over the years, and there is a lot of civilian oversight that often has a lot of trouble separating emotion from the law.  And they are skeptical of the process. Yet they are very well-spoken and generally love the idea of an American Constitution protecting individual rights.  But, from their perspective, at what expense are those rights protected?  Why should a child molester, a drug dealer, or a murderer be given individual rights when it is obvious to the officer that people are up to no good?  People who don’t respect their authority should be punished. When people don’t respect the rule of police, additional charges of failure to respect a lawful investigation can put the case center stage. A prosecutor will be reluctant to move a case forward because it is obvious the police officer was upset at the lack of respect they were getting while interacting with the criminal community.  After seeing all that, I was glad to see we had enough people in society who wanted to do the job because it was crucial.  It may not pay that much, and they work many erratic hours.  And you don’t see too many old cops on the beat these days because it’s a young person’s game.  It takes a lot of tenacity not to become disgruntled with the process.  But it is a process we need, and police are crucial to maintaining a civil society.  And I can say now that I’ve met so many of them in Butler County, Ohio, that we have a lot of good ones.  And I am glad they do what they do.

Who Runs the American Government, a Representative Republic or Global Communists: Trying to kill Trump and putting Harris/Walz at the top of the ticket

It would not be a stretch to notice that the people behind putting Kamala Harris at the top of the ticket, removing Joe Biden from a second term as President, meant to bypass the primary process because they knew she would never survive.  And she wouldn’t survive because of her nature of being an outright communist who could not withstand the public scrutiny as an exposed Marxist.  That’s one of the reasons they have kept her in the background all this time.  You would not be crazy to observe that this was likely their plan to use Joe Biden as a distraction while they worked a communist asset to the left of Bernie Sanders as the alternate extended plan to be installed at the last minute.  Looking back in hindsight, it’s pretty clear what they have been doing, and that was confirmed when they selected Tim Walz as the vice president candidate.  These are two radical leftists that obviously are way outside the mainstream of American thought and could only be looked at as a coup of our election system.  The system itself is a Deep State mechanism that has no respect or even consideration of a publicly-run republic.  From their perspective, we do not have a representative government.  We are suckers who are being taken over by a global communist infiltration, and they are so audacious about it that right out in the open, they are putting forth Kamala and Walz as a couple of radicals poised to be installed in the White House.  And they no longer care if people accept it or not.  They intend to make it happen no matter what people think because they know they can control the election process ultimately, and if people protest, they will just get rid of them. 

That’s the only conclusion that could be made after the government got caught with its fingerprints all over the attempted Trump assassination.  Looking back over the months and years, and the way they have been trying to bankrupt people like Alex Jones and put people like White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon in jail, where he currently is—and setting up an assassination on President Trump by a kid who barely had a social media footprint and had a whole series of errors that put him on the roof of a Trump rally in Pennsylvania as a lone gunman to kill the president on live television.  What we have going on here is something nobody wants to admit, and it is evident in this whole approach to government by Kamala Harris and this communist sidekick, Tim Walz.  Nobody who respects our election process, the people’s will, would have put Tim on a ticket if they cared what people thought. Instead, we see people without respect for a representative republic working in the background to take over our society.  And they are not shy about it.  This is obvious when you hear about all the conditions that allowed the shooter at the Trump rally, Thomas Crooks, to act alone behind such a folly of errors that have been alarming in just how stupid some of the people heading security were.  Of course, the CIA denied any access to Crooks or any MK-Ultra program, and who could ever check them on it when the FBI was involved in the investigation of the Trump assassination attempt?  The FBI has been caught trying to perform several coups on President Trump themselves, most notably the Russian dossier that is now so famous and was completely made up by intelligence agencies.  The mode and attempt were nearly identical to the Kennedy assassination and, just as audacious, meant to instill a level of panic in society that would destroy any American resistance to an overt overthrow of our entire society.  So much was resting on that bullet hitting Trump in the side of the head.  But he moved, and they missed.  This has left the planners looking sheepish and forced them to carry out their sinister plans, even with Trump still being a viable candidate.  It was only a few days later that Joe Biden was removed from the top of the ticket and Kamala inserted without a primary process because, at this point, they were all too invested to turn back now. 

And that’s when we have to call it what it is.  To talk about the government as something else run by other people is wrong.  The government is us, the people of the United States.  But what we have going on in government are people who are prone to the seduction of communist thought who want to get into our representative republic and run it with the philosophy of Karl Marx, and they are willing to kill to do it.  They are eager to do anything to do it, especially in stealing elections, which has been a common practice for many years. After the audacity of picking the governor of Minnesota as a VP, nobody in their right mind would do that.  This means people without a right mind are controlling things in the background and are overtly applying a well-planned coup for an invasion of America at the political and financial level, and the three letter agencies are working for them out of self-preservation to maintain their pensions and government careers which they consider at a threat if the people put their representative back in the White House.  It’s not hard to see who the bad guys are and that they are so pompous in what they think captured government control will give them that they don’t care anymore what public perception is.  If we catch them trying to kill a president, they will just lie, force a few resignations, and then go back to the drawing board. 

The plan to sell communism to America is to offer up a Harris/Walz ticket that everyone knows would have never survived the primary process.  But a short sprint for the White House starting in August of 2024 with an openly Marxist ticket sold with smiles and laughter might work, just as influencing the kid Thomas Crooks to kill the president at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania did.  If they fail, which they most of the time do, they will deny everything, lie, and try again over and over because they have enough control over our representative government through pensions and easy jobs to get enough people to play ball at the expense of the quality of our government.  So it gets away from us, and we refer to it as “they” instead of “ours.”  But after these events in the summer of 2024, it can no longer be a dispute; we are dealing with a government captured by Marxists who are willing to do anything for their self-preservation, even to kill for it.  They will cheat in elections.  They will do anything they have to do to save their massive administrative state that is in service to a global Deep State.  The reason is that they have such good jobs, with such lavish pensions and unrealistic government service compensation, that they will do whatever they have to do to continue it at the expense of logic, sovereignty, and consideration for their friends and neighbors.  Government workers are paid too much to do too little, and for the laziest of our society, Marxism sounds wonderful, and they are Tim Walz types by the bucketloads.  And they think they have enough in society to keep it close under the illusion of a free election.  And what isn’t close they know they can cheat with digital machines and mail-in ballots.  But just remember, they are playing for keeps, and they are willing to put their targets in jail and kill them if they get in the way of their easy money under a communist government.  They know the American people are not with them but don’t care.  They will do their menace anyway to protect their pensions from any civil debate at reforms to a bloated, ostentatious government—expensive, dominating, and corrupt—and out of control as a team of assassins committed to communist, globalist causes.   The battle is over who runs our government, the people of America—or global communists.  The communists are betting that it’s them.

Lakota Fed Too Many Birds: The latest scheme to get rid of Darbi Boddy

It’s interesting how people behave or think that their sneaky plans might resonate within their bubble of a network. And how social media can give the illusion of a reality, such as this fascinating perspective from Skippy on this GOP posting regarding the Lakota school board member Darbi Boddy. There is a compelling strategy going on that is worth talking about, and what is essentially happening within the GOP in Butler County, which has made the apparent turn away from Trump, is a desperate desire to turn the party back into the centralist party that it was back in the John Kasich days, and when John Boehner was Speaker of the House, a local guy that people thought represented conservative values. All this has worked in the background to determine if Lynda O’Conner, the current school board president, should be endorsed by the GOP as she has before. But in her behavior against Darbi Boddy, a truly MAGA Republican Party representative, many Democrat-minded types are employing a new strategy to attack Darbi with the illusion that she doesn’t have public support. And if Skippy and the gang aren’t in your corner, then you are on the wrong side of politics. Yet it’s the same old shell game, and this time, what is going on is that the Lynda types who have behaved as a monstrous liberals wearing the mask of the GOP is turning all their problems against Darbi Boddy, problems they caused entirely on their own as a warning never to support someone like Darbi again, otherwise bad things will happen. Just to set the record straight the West Chester Tea Party has not endorsed Lynda; they personally called me to ensure me despite the community buzz to the contrary. Lynda has been a disaster on the Lakota school board. But for now, let’s stay on this exciting and diabolical scheme.

This kind of thinking causes so many problems, and why politicians never do what they should be doing.

Currently, many ex-employees from Lakota schools are planning big lawsuits against the district because it has been a “hostile” workplace, and they have had to leave, from their liberal perspective.  And the blame for a lot of this hostility is directed at Darbi Boddy, who has questioned a lot of embedded liberalisms at the government school, and they don’t like that she exists.   So the emerging plan is to sue the district, blame the school board, and settle the cases so that the perpetrators get paid, and the school board can then blame Darbi to rally fiscal conservatives against her to say, “look how much money she has cost the district.”  And while all that is going on, the political moderates who want their party back, the same kind of people pushing for Ron DeSantis and other alternatives to Trump, want their Republican Party back.  So, suppose the district gets sued for millions and millions of dollars, and the lawyers in the background are licking their lips as if they were about to eat a great steak. In that case, the blame can be placed on Darbi for resisting the natural order of things, which is to lay at the feet of the radical leftist teacher’s union and their diabolical schemes of doom emerging from the Democrat Party.  And many of those who were faking conservative values to get elected or stay in the political cool kid’s club are hungry to snap back to some moderate middle ground with outright Marxism tilting the measurement scale. 

Lakota could win most of its lawsuits, past and present. But they are too lazy and have other ideas that end up costing taxpayers enormous amounts of money.

I was recently out at the Grand Tetons in Wyoming, and they have a lot of signs everywhere warning not to feed the bears.  Those warnings are similar to the signs in many parks and public places warning not to feed the birds because if you do, they’ll get used to the easy food and flock toward people whenever they see them, making a general mess of things.  And the bears out in the Tetons start getting very aggressive when they see people, and they will attack, hoping they’ll get access to easy food.  Well, that is what the school board at Lakota has essentially done, they have a habit of settling lawsuits too quickly when they should go to court and fight it out, and the word is out among all the radicals that Lakota is an easy-pay day, so they are planning legal action based on that observation and the lawyers are all too happy to facilitate.  This is part of a larger legal lawfare strategy that is going on around the country, which is most evident in the Trump indictments.  The soft-shelled Republicans see this trend as a way to get rid of a much more conservative representative on the school board and to warn the community not to vote for them anymore because they cost so much money in the community.  And, of course, liberals are always looking for an easy-to-exploit taxpayer scheme for social cases that advance their radical leftist agenda.  So suddenly, all these people are focused on getting Darbi the same way that the same maniacal characters are trying to get Trump.  You don’t see a lot of GOP leadership fighting to prosecute Democrats like Democrats are charging Trump.  That’s because they are all friends, just as they are in a local community like Lakota.  It’s all a scam, and the taxpayers are the undeserved political pawns. 

Of course, someone had to stand up to the baked-in progressive radicalism in the government school of Lakota, and Darbi has been that person, thankfully.  This strategy of going after school boards that do not lay down at the feet of raging Democrats within the teacher’s union will become a national trend.  We are only seeing it so early in Lakota because the GOP, in many respects, has joined the Democrats in their joint hatred of Darbi and the more significant MAGA movement that they hope dies before the 2024 election.  So with Lakota having a reputation for easy payouts, of course, all the disjointed types of ex-employees see an opportunity to sue the district, get a lot of money, and the board can publicly blame Darbi.  But the real cause of the problem was that the school board fed too many birds, and now they are flocking around dumping excrement on everything looking for easy money.  And that comes from incompetence; this school board seeks legal advice for everything, which costs money.  Yes, the lawyers have gotten very wealthy off the Lakota taxpayers.  It’s not because of Darbi.  It’s because the school board lacks the intellect to think for themselves, and they throw lawyers at all the radical behavior the teacher’s union throws at them.  And the only method they utilize to deal with political pressure from the Marxists is legal advice and legal settlements.  Anyway that doesn’t involve complete compliance to the radicals will result in hostile legal action, as we see at Lakota, not because of the merit of the cases but because they know the GOP has not stood behind Darbi the way they should have, and their endorsed candidate in Lynda O’Conner has led the way, their goal is to pay out the settlements, throw Darbi under the bus, then go to the taxpayers with a tax increase hoping the public never votes for someone like Darbi ever again.  But as usual, all these characters are not reading the political tea leaves correctly, which will make for an exciting future for everyone.  Essentially, they didn’t listen and fed the birds when they shouldn’t have, making a real mess of things in the process, and we have what we do now.

Alex Jones Should Have Represented Himself in Court: When the law is rigged against you, might as well have a little fun

I would have advised Alex Jones to represent himself in much the way the killer Darrell Brooks has been for his criminal trial of running over innocent people during that Wisconsin Christmas parade. Not that they are on the same level, but I’ve witnessed many times where defending yourself in court instead of hiring Bar Association members of the court is better for winning court cases. Don’t play by the rules they set up; work outside their rules for your own effect. It won’t help Darrell Brooks, but the method is noticeable, disruptive, and tends to jolt a judge and jury when it’s evident that the court is rigged against the defendant. If you can, it is much better to let a jury and other court members hear from the defendant as much as possible and not through the filter of proper rule adherence. It’s not the rules that are important in a court case; the evidence and the presentation of that evidence, or the defense against it, carries the most weight. And on a show trial like the civil case against Alex Jones, where a jury awarded the families of Sandy Hook nearly a billion dollars, Alex Jones would have done better to play less along with the court and to fight it directly with his own representation. It would have kept the court from its smug dressing down that actually happened. I think Alex Jones handled himself well during all these court cases. But if it was going to come down to a guilty verdict anyway, and we knew from the beginning that it would, then Alex could have gotten his point across better as his own representation instead of being held behind a thin veil of legal protection that keeps the court safe from challenges to its comfortable legal order. Jones would have served his case better to have been much more disruptive to that legal order.

Yet for those who hope these court cases and judgments against Alex Jones mean the end of Infowars and that it will put him out on the street homeless and without a voice, well, sorry to burst your bubble. In many ways, this whole experience has been redeeming for Jones, who has been at the front of all attacks since the beginning, going back to when he was first banned on YouTube. Alex Jones has been the target of the hostile insurgents. They have been seeking to undermine our American Constitution for many years because his radio show has essentially been an early warning system to all the things the Desecrators of Davos intended to try. Those global conspiracies came true when those enemies of America attacked us through Covid and election fraud. And knowing they were now too far to turn back now, they moved to attack their most vocal critics, people like Alex Jones, Roger Stone, Steve Bannon, and many others. Even President Trump. It was an all-or-nothing move, and they have made it. So this rigged court case where the judge had clearly found Alex Jones guilty of a First Amendment crime before the trial even started was always going to attempt to use a case like this to create case law that bottom-feeder lawyers would then try to apply to many other cases across the country that would essentially destroy the First Amendment. They targeted Alex Jones to make an example of him, and his crucifixion was always part of the plan. That’s why playing their game by hiring lawyers from the Bar Association is usually a bad idea if you really want to win a case. The lawyers you hire often play too nice to win and what’s important to them is maintaining their membership in the Bar and not ruffling their relationships with judges. They don’t care about clients as much as they do their role as cogs in the legal machine. And that kind of courtroom representation isn’t worth the money most of the time. If you are going to go to court and you know the system is rigged against you, then you owe it to yourself to be a little crazy in performing the task.

Bankruptcy will protect Alex Jones, and Infowars will still be on the air. Those people are not going to see a billion dollars which the court made up out of the thin blue air like the Federal Reserve prints money. It’s a lesson I learned a long time ago, keep the money out of the First Amendment business, and it makes it much harder, if not impossible, for the court to get any money out of you. If Jones works for free, which he can afford to do, then there is no way to shut down Infowars. That is the secret to these kinds of First Amendment ventures, take the money out of it, so the looters have nothing to get, and the bottom-feeder lawyers have nothing to suck off of. Lawyers don’t care about the First Amendment; they care about their relationships in the legal world. And they care about getting paid. And if there is no money to get, there is nothing worth their work to do. People like Jones will work for free because he cares about the outcome of the battle. Lawyers just care about the next steak dinner. And that especially holds true for the kind of prosecutors who thought they could knock Alex Jones off the air with a billion-dollar judgment upheld by a judge who acts like they never heard of the First Amendment. 

I think before all is said and done, this Jones case will be overturned during the appeal process, which will take years. If allowed to stand, the case law would then erode the First Amendment in devastating ways, which is the attack’s real purpose. You can’t be held accountable for things people feel about you based on something you said. “sticks and stones break bones, but words………..” doesn’t everyone remember that little nursery rhyme? It has a legal premise as well as a logical one. And if this case stood as is, then the door is open for others to do the same to anybody they might be angry at or hurt by. Then our legal system becomes a mess of people acting out of grievances, which is precisely the way things might work in China. But not in the United States. The truth is, and Alex might have been over the top with his statements about Sandy Hook, but people have such a low opinion of our government that during a mass shooting of any kind, the first thing people think of is to what degree our government played a role in it. Few people believe anymore that people just do murderous things out of pure evil by themselves. They certainly do, but our first question is always, what did the government know about it, and when did they know it? We don’t trust our government, and legal action against Alex Jones won’t make people suddenly trust it. It just shows how corrupt our legal system is and how much people like George Soros and his billions of dollars can buy courts through liberal prosecutors, all in an attempt to destroy the Constitutional law of America at its very foundation. When you cross the line with someone like Alex Jones, then everyone else is next. And during the appeal process, that will become very obvious once the politics are removed from the decision-making. Meanwhile, Alex Jones will be more popular than ever, thanks to all this great news coverage.
