What is Required for a New Lakota School Board Member: Its a system that needs to die

Coming up in the Lakota schools soon is an opportunity to elect three more conservative school board members, and to answer the question I have been asked regularly: am I running for one of them?  Because many people want me to.  Not to give a politically worthless answer, but in my opinion, people who genuinely appreciate the system should be the ones to run it.  I do not like the system, and I have no interest in working with people like that.  I view education as a reform effort, and I believe the amount of time required to fulfill a school board role exceeds 70 hours per week.   It’s not a helicopter position as it’s now for many people who are currently in it.  So I would advise people who want to help fix the system and are willing to do that level of work to let us know, and we’ll help you connect the dots.  But as far as one of those people being me, that wouldn’t be a good idea for those wanting to save the system in some regard.  I’m accustomed to being entirely in charge of the things I do; I’m not a very good consensus player.  I don’t even think the design of school boards in public education is correct; it needs a strong CEO-type to oversee these radical superintendents.  I don’t like the lawyers.  I don’t like the teacher’s unions.  I don’t like the way they are funded.  I don’t like what they teach.  I don’t think they work long enough hours, regardless of the level of employees, administrative, or the teachers themselves.  I support scrapping the whole thing and starting over.  However, there are many parents with school-age children who want to make the best of a difficult situation, and these are the types of individuals who should be leading the school. 

As far as holding on to the way things were in the past?  There is no chance of that.  I was watching the protests this weekend at the Statehouse against Trump and Elon Musk over their fears that Social Security will be cut, which isn’t even on the table.  However, the level of stupidity exhibited by some of those participants is genuinely overwhelming.  There is no talking to people like that with reason.  They can’t understand anything that needs to be changed, so, in my opinion, they should all be scrapped.  They are not prepared for what needs to be done.  I would argue that they aren’t even qualified to be parents.  I feel sorry for the children born into families with the kind of parents who go to these anti-Trump protests.  It’s not their fault their parents are idiots.  But I see no hope in any of those people; they are the result of a society that has experimented with Marxism, and they accepted those thoughts as a new reality.  And that is not the future of education.  There is only one way things are going, and no amount of crying like a baby is going to change anything.  The funding of public schools needs to change; it will change.  The government funding of schools, with unmanaged money moving from the federal government back to the local level, is not a future prospect.  It can’t be, and it never should have been.  People have seen what that system gave them, and they aren’t willing to continue with that method.  The per-pupil costs of educating students should be at least half what they currently are.  When I talk to people who are out there carrying signs in favor of preserving that system, they don’t understand it, and they never will.  Education has to be competitive; we need competition with other teachers, with other districts, and with other states.  The teacher’s union model of everyone getting a collective bargaining agreement for subpar work is over.

And as I say that, people will tell me tomorrow, and the day after that, and the week after that—that’s why I should be on the school board.  Consider what you’re saying and think about what you know about me.  Yes, I can speak very politically, and I work very well with people who hate me and plot against me with everything they can come up with.  My life is far more complicated than the most ostentatious Shakespeare play.  There isn’t any way for my life to be reflected in art because nobody would believe it, including the most conspiratorial of Shakespeare’s works.  My idea of the perfect school board member was and is Darbi Boddy.  She genuinely cared about making the school a great one, and she represented a sizeable demographic group within the Lakota school system.  And people from all political sides conspired to get rid of her.  Who in their right mind thinks I would put up with that?  Darby handled things very well and played by the rules, paying her legal fees to defend herself in ridiculous ways.  She never should have had to do that.  And I can say, I wouldn’t.  I would burn the whole system down from the inside out, along with all the people associated with it.  So be careful what you wish for.  I want what’s best for the people of my community.  However, what’s best for me is what people who deal with me receive, and I’m not sure people can see past the results they want, which are undoubtedly attainable.  But what would they do with the wreckage in the aftermath? That’s where the real trick is. 

I think there is a way to do it, but as I mentioned, I believe the job of a school board member at Lakota schools requires at least 70 hours a week.  It takes that long to read everything you need to read and speak with all the people you need to talk to.  The school board meetings need to be more prolonged, more frequent, and include more detailed information.  And the people working together need to build a team, not to resemble a Shakespearean drama.  And when I say that, we need three school board members who will work together, not against each other, and merge into the political faction of the teacher unions.  I have a very dominant personality in personal conduct, and I excel when I can give orders.  But consensus building is not my thing, and it never will be.  I’m the one you call to take the head shot.  Not the one who cleans up the mess.  And Lakota schools are a mess, and there is a lot to clean up.  And the people doing that need to like each other and to represent the community in the best way possible.  But there will be a lot of hard talks and times in the next two to three years.  Really, until Vivek Ramaswamy is governor of Ohio, we won’t be able to truly fix public education for good with competitive models and funding tied to the child, not the uncompetitive local school.  The property tax racket has to come to an end.  It has given us a garbage product taught by garbage people who are worthless in every category, and it’s time to put all that to an end.  As those protesters increasingly do in places like the Ohio Statehouse, they aren’t in the realm of reality, and that isn’t the fault of the rest of the world.  It is their social dysfunction to think that a school system can continue to get unlimited funds to sponsor a poor work ethic and to teach Marxism to the next generation isn’t even a consideration for the future.  I will not say everyone but me should do such a hard job.  But when it comes to delivery, be careful what you wish for.  My bedside manner on this topic does not come with any handholding.  I’ve been ready to pull the plug on the patient for a long time.  It’s a system that needs to die.

The White House Called Me: What I said

Ahead of Liberation Day, on April 2nd, the White House called me to ask my thoughts on how Trump’s tariffs would be beneficial.  They were compiling a list of names for people to attend Liberation Day, and at that time, they were thinking more in terms of a town hall presentation. However, what they ended up doing was more traditional Trump.  In that process, they called me as they were setting up for the day, and I was more than happy to share my thoughts, as always.  I usually don’t discuss those kinds of things when they happen, but this was an excellent conversation that I think is a fitting follow-up to what they ended up doing at the White House for Liberation Day.  And that is the discussion about supply chains, which is the number one issue hidden behind the noise of personal investments.  It’s one thing to complain as a company that has invested in globalism to be afraid of Trump setting tariffs to defend our values from a world built on socialism.  So many countries have completely sustained themselves off American capitalism, then throw all that money into a dumpster fire of losses caused by Marxist politics.  Many investors, to their shame, have invested a lot of money in bad ideas and hoped that somehow it would all work out.  And they’d make up for it patriotically on Memorial Day or the Fourth of July by cooking an extra hot dog on the grill for the holiday to celebrate American independence.  But many financial firms have been looting our system for years and hiding their treachery behind an American flag, hoping nobody would notice.  But we have, and that is precisely why Trump had to liberate America from the terrorist implementation that has been quite ostentatious in the background. 

The main problem I conveyed to the White House was that, with all the transfer of wealth, the world has become complacent with its supply chains, taking too many vacations, and has lost its sense of providing a service to customers due to the accumulation of unearned merit.  What I said specifically was that the world was now filled with a bunch of slack jawed losers who have gotten used to easy money given to them for wealth redistribution, stolen from the value of capitalism and given to the looting nature of Marxism, and they no longer feel like they have to compete to earn the money, because governments have given it to them for nothing.  When you need something in the world, given all this global trade and the numerous time zones, what you get more than ever now are excuses.  In France, I think they are only working about 20 minutes a week now, and they are always on vacation. Most people have 6 weeks of vacation, it seems, and are rarely in the office.  There is no expectation to even pick up the phone while on vacation; the world is suddenly allergic to all forms of work, and it is a global crisis.  As a result, if you need something from Malaysia, what used to take four or five days to arrive is now six months or more.  And in many cases, if you think you need something for manufacturing, you have to order it more than a year in advance. Even then, the supplier is likely to push out their schedule multiple times, without even having any expectation of fulfilling their timeline targets.  As I told the White House, this is the biggest crisis in the world that nobody is talking about: subsidized laziness and the perpetuation of lazy people to profit off the demise of the world.  Trump’s tariffs would immediately help that condition, and it couldn’t happen sooner. 

Now I understand, and we discussed it on the phone, that this kind of thing takes longer to explain than a typical media snippet on tariff talk.  Our media is why the White House has shifted its focus away from the traditional establishment and toward alternative media to convey its message.  We have a lot of people in the same category as the global slack-jawed losers who are lazy and have an expectation of not working nearly enough.  Many of these types now work in traditional media.  So they can’t delve deeply into the tangible benefits of the Trump tariff necessity for a Liberation Day.  A liberation from lazy, slack-jawed losers who order their lunch for the business day at 9 AM and by noon are already checking out and getting ready to pick up their kid at day care and thinking about how they can call off for the rest of the week and still get paid.  If you’ve ever dealt with government, and this is the case with all of Washington D.C., they are very eager in the morning to get to work and park in their parking garages between the hours of 8 and 9 AM.  But by 1 PM, the parking garages are mostly cleared out.  Government workers, if they go to work at all and aren’t working from home, are only putting in 4 or 5 hours of work per day and expecting to get paid a king’s ransom in wages.  This is the hidden cost of globalism, and it is a real problem.

I’ve said it a million times, and I’ve certainly discussed it with the White House, but supply chains before COVID and after are entirely different.  If you needed a fuse or a new alternator for your car, it was always readily available on the shelf before COVID-19.  However, it has taken months to obtain it afterwards.  If you wanted to have a special Corvette built from a dealer, it was usually on the lot, or you’d get it in a few weeks.  Now, it might take a year, and everyone seems to be okay with that, as if that’s the new normal.  No, that is not acceptable, and it has been detrimental to all economies worldwide.  And it all starts with globalism, rather than competitive nationalism, and these tariffs had to happen to reset the world order established after World War II.  People all over the world need to work harder, longer, and much, much faster.  And when you call them, they need to pick up the phone because they need the money.  Not to have an arrogant attitude, as they know their socialist government will compensate them anyway with the proceeds from the trade imbalances.  That’s certainly a more profound discussion than just talking about the price of eggs.  It’s more of a psychological problem of wealth redistribution, which, to Trump’s point, we have been getting ripped off.  And it has to stop; Liberation Day is the moment in history when it did.  And the world will thank us later for forcing them not to be a bunch of slack-jawed, entitled losers short on ambition and full of excuses as to why our supply chains are too slow and inefficient.  And for the Trump people at the White House, it was nice speaking to everyone.  I’m happy to do it anytime.  Trump is doing great, and if he needs anything, don’t hesitate to call.  Liberation Day was great, and very much needed!

Why ‘The Chosen’ is Successful and ‘Snow White’ is Not: Understanding basic ecnomics

I am a little bit baffled by some of the fear surrounding the Trump tariffs. What did anybody expect to happen?   While this is a topic in its own right, economic understanding in general appears to be lost entirely on ordinary people; they don’t understand basic concepts, let alone complex ones.  The same mentality also applies to movies.  It’s a different business, but it’s all about generating revenue within an economic system that provides entertainment to people.  This Snow White Disney story is a microcosm of the general global trade understanding.  What was Disney thinking in making that stupid live-action remake?  And spending so much money on it.  You could say the same about trade imbalances that favored China over American imports and exports.  Why did the world make the dumb decisions to push international wealth redistribution, which is unmistakably present in financial transactions?  Incentives for foreign trade versus domestic production have been in place for a long time, and they were costly and detrimental; now someone has to pay for all that foolishness.  Why is that so stunning to people? Surely, they can’t be that stupid?  Yet they are, and in incredible ways.  In the first week of April 2025, the streaming show The Chosen Season 5 was released to theaters and did so well that it came in third at the box office, just behind Snow White.  That says a couple of things: that The Chosen is doing really well, and that Snow White is doing really badly, because these are not apples-to-apples movies.  Snow White has a budget of around $ 300 million, whereas The Chosen is designed to be a streaming show that plays in theaters as a dedication to Easter, giving fans a big-screen experience during the Holiday.  It will have three theatrical releases leading up to the Easter Holiday with a total budget of around $45 million.  The Chosen is monstrously successful on paper, whereas Snow White from Disney is a dismal failure on every measure.

My wife and I like The Chosen show. We’ve watched it on several streaming platforms over the years and look forward to every season, which I think is surprising.  It’s not as if people don’t know the story of Jesus; it’s very well-documented.  However, the director, Dallas Jenkins, and his wife, Amanda, have done a fantastic job with the show, telling the story of Jesus in a way that I have never seen or heard before.  They love the material, and they love each other, and it shows on screen, even on the big screen.  You can see The Chosen’s previous four seasons on Amazon Prime. I’ve also watched it on Roku.  And we liked it so much that we went to the theater to see Season 5, because we enjoy it that much.  There are planned 7 seasons in total, as this Season 5 is leading up to the crucifixion of Christ, and by Season 7, it will be the resurrection and an exploration of what happened in the years following Christ’s death.  The way they are presenting the material is well done.  I think it’s the best television in years, much better than anything else on the big screen or small.  It reminds me of Little House on the Prairie from the 1970s in many ways, with well-told stories that encompass all the things humans genuinely desire from the world, including goodness.  You would think that this would be obvious to more people and that more of these kinds of projects would have been made over the years, but Dallas Jenkins was pretty much ran out of Hollywood, as most faith based filmmakers have been forcing him to take his skills to the smallest venue possible, because he had been rejected from the business in Hollywood.

The Chosen began as a project for one of Dallas Jenkins’ friends, who wanted to create something for his church in St. Louis.  It was essentially a small film project that would be shown on a YouTube-like platform for a tiny audience.  And the project just grew from there, becoming the first season of The Chosen, which was produced on a minimal budget by a large group of people who were passionate about the project.  Nobody was getting rich off this material; they just did it because they loved it.  But ironically, even though everyone thinks they know everything about the life of Jesus and his disciples, The Chosen goes several steps further, and each season has grown in popularity and budget.  Season 5 was pretty big stuff, as much of it takes place on the Second Temple in Jerusalem and deals in great detail with all the politics behind the killing of Jesus in ways that have never been done before on such a scope.  Solomon’s Temple looks fantastic, as does everything else.  It is a stunningly good show with great acting.  A lot is happening with it that has tremendous social value, both politically and personally, and I am pleased with it.  I love seeing stories like this both in front of and behind the camera.  I want the world to have more people in it like Dallas Jenkins and his wife.  They are a good family who want to do good things and have the courage to do them without fear.  And if I had to put investment money behind something, those are the kind of people you want to invest in.  Those who took action early on are now seeing the benefits.

This Chosen project reminds me of the Atlas Shrugged movies from 2010.  People who have read me for a long time remember my involvement in that project.  I wanted to see John Aglialoro succeed in adapting that famous novel into a movie that Hollywood had rejected entirely.  The unions caused all kinds of problems, ensuring that each section of the movie’s releases never featured the same actors, which was brutal.  I thought the movies were pretty good and I talked them up as much as I could.  They tell the story quite well, based on the famous book.  The Chosen is similar in that it took a small budget approach that exceeded expectations in its delivery.  However, where Atlas Shrugged was unable to overcome production difficulties without being a bit resentful in the process, Dallas Jenkins gives viewers of his production no sense of trouble at all.  People can enjoy Jesus bringing the New Testament to life in all its glory on the screen, shot by shot.  Where John Aglialoro struggled to recover his massive investment in making the Atlas movies, The Chosen will likely turn out to be extremely profitable, a message that Hollywood cannot ignore, especially as Mel Gibson enters production on his Resurrection movie.  I tend to think that if Aglialoro had made the Atlas films more like Jenkins’ The Chosen, he would have been a lot more successful.  However, we’re dealing with the Trump years, as opposed to the Obama years, and things are pretty different now than they were then. People have a hunger for goodness that they didn’t have even back then, when they took a lot of things socially for granted.  But now with The Chosen, people are finding themselves again, almost as born-again Christians do.  And it’s showing up at the box office.  It’s not that the box office is failing because people aren’t going to see movies.  They don’t want the kind of movies Hollywood wants to show them, like woke adaptations of Snow White.  They want The Chosen, and those who provide that kind of content will be the ones who make the most money.  It’s not rocket science.

More Kristi Noem Please: The best torture of drug cartel members is to have to look at the Secretary of Homeland Security in those tight pants

I was surprised by Megan Kelly’s obvious girl jealousy of Kristi Noem when the Secretary of Homeland Security went to the El Salvador Terrorism Confinement Center maximum security facility and stood before the recent prisoners there, just dropped off by Noem and the Trump administration for their terrorist connection to the government of Venezuela in the form of drug cartels.  I thought it was great; one of the reasons I wanted Kristi Noem to be Trump’s VP was that she has a great sense of style.  I will never forget how proud I was of her for riding her horse onstage at the town square in Deadwood, South Dakota, during the Sturgis motorcycle rally, carrying an American flag and waving it proudly in the air.  Kristi Noem gets it, and I am glad that President Trump put her in a position to utilize her talents for the security of America.  After all the controversies over those prisoners and whether or not a district judge had the power to intrude on President Trump’s Article II powers, Kristi Noem had the guts to visit the prison personally dressed in skin tight jeans, a very tight shirt to highlight her female attributes, while wearing a $50K Rolex and forced all those shirtless, tattooed drug gang members to look at her from behind knowing they weren’t going to have any female company for a long time, and listen to her spike the football right in front of their faces.  As I like to say, that is how you make spaghetti in the kitchen.  That’s the only kind of language that these violent drug cartel members understand, and it’s about time that we start playing the game better than them.  Kristi Noem was wearing lip gloss and had her hair nicely styled, further demonstrating her excessive femininity. As a result, the world came unglued, including Megan Kelly, the former Fox host and current podcast commentator. 

Let me go on to say that with all the talk about Noem’s costly Rolex watch, there is much more to that than anybody wants to admit.  The jealousy among various members of the media society, raised on Marxism, was overtly ostentatious.  Kristi Noem is a successful person who has survived numerous hardships, and she is now in her grandmother years, looking like a pretty hot tamale.  She hasn’t let herself go like many women of her age, and to all those who have, and look like rotting potatoes left two weeks too long in the cellar, Kristi Noem has exposed the heart of the problem.  That when we talk about girl power and all this equality nonsense, the real motivation isn’t for excellence, but it’s to bring down all the pretty women in the world to the level of most everyone else who don’t look so good.  It’s a communist assumption that expresses jealousy for those who have and the mob’s ability to take it and to destroy it, or redistribute it under the flag of equality.  Where everyone is equally ugly.  Megan Kelly’s reaction was the jealous socialite who is concerned that a woman like Noem might steal her man with expressions of feminine charms, so she thought she needed to pile on to all the left leaning media attacks, because as the head of Homeland Security Kristi Noem looked like too much of a woman and not enough of an authority figure.  Sure, Noem could have worn a baggy jacket to cover her body, but she wanted to show off a bit, just as she does at rodeos and public appearances like motorcycle rallies.  She knows what America likes, and they like women with very tight jeans, tight shirts, long hair, and lip gloss.  And to rub a little salt in the wound, Kristi wore her charming Rolex watch.

Who are we trying to impress with a less-than-excellent appearance anyway?  Playing down to the crowd and trying to look more “professional,” which in this case is the same as saying, “more average” lets other people know that you are just like them, butt ugly, lazy, and broke.  But that’s not the message here.  Kristi Noem is a good-looking woman who knows she’s attractive, and she took to the streets to lead raids against dangerous drug cartels, helping to make America safe again.  Most of the prisoners she was standing in front of are dangerous people.  It sounds like there were a few mistakes mixed into that prisoner population, but so what?  What matters is that we commit Homeland Security to get rid of drug cartels who are operating as a hostile foreign insurgent within our borders and openly trying to poison Americans for conquest.  Sheriff Jones once tried to get me to do an article to show just how bad the border violence is, where these drug cartel members are in open war with border property owners and openly cut off the heads of people who stand up to them and stick them on fence posts.  And if they see a woman they like, they take her and rape her and dare anybody in law enforcement to do something about it.  And it happens every day along the border.  That’s the kind of stuff that Megan Kelly should be worried about.  Not how good Kristi Noem looks as a very hot grandmother.  When I see Kristi Noem, I think of American pride.  When I see Megan Kelly, especially after her reaction to Noem, I see a woman who appears to be jealous and insecure about her ability to keep the men in her life interested in her, which is at the heart of the criticism.

I told the Sheriff that I couldn’t use the violent pictures he showed me, because they were just too horrible.  As a media contributor, that is my editorial judgment because it crosses the line.  I don’t mind writing about it, but the visuals are horrible and more people should see them.  There are ways to do so, but the media’s responsibility is to let people know that the border violence that happens with these drug cartels is open warfare.  And it’s not just on our borders anymore, it’s in the middle of America, in just about every city in North America.  They are a purposeful invasion of our country, and we should rub it in their faces when we catch them, deport them, and put them into maximum security prisons for containment and punishment.  And yes, for a bunch of dudes stuck in a rigorous prison system, having to bunch together with a bunch of shirtless dudes and stare at the back of Kristi Noem’s tight jeans is torture in a good way.  And I’m glad Kristi Noem had the guts to do it, and the showmanship.  The Secretary of Homeland Security has written best-selling books and achieved great success in life.  What else is she going to spend her money on?  A Rolex is a symbol of success, and she should wear it proudly and audaciously.  Especially if it makes lazy people jealous and insecure people reveal who they are. Which is what Megan Kelly revealed about herself.  Women, no matter who they are, tend to be very jealous of women they think are prettier than they are, and they adopt levels of Marxism in their lives to make things “fair” for them.  So they can go to the grocery store without makeup and dress in sweatpants and a dirty old T-shirt without feeling bad about themselves, until Kristi Noem walks by in a cowboy hat, tight jeans, long cowboy boots, and a perfumed body, complete with gleaming lip gloss.  And when their men look and admire how attractive Kristi Noem is, women like that punish their men for all the things they didn’t do, and want the world to be just a little bit lazier so they don’t have to feel bad about themselves.  Nope, that’s not how we make America great again.  More people like Kristi Noem do, however, and I am very proud of her for what she has done and plans to do in the immediate future.  More Kristi Noem, please!

The Alien Enemies Act of 1798: Its all about “predatory incursion” 

District of Columbia Judge Boasberg had no right to dip his toe into the Executive actions of the Trump administration when it came to the deportation of 200 Venezuelan gang members from Tren de Aragua to the El Salvador Terrorism Confinement Center under the Alien Enemies Act of 1798.  The whole debate about who has the right to do anything clearly falls on the side of President Trump, and I say that after just spending an entire day at the Supreme Court and being in the main courtroom extensively thinking about these kinds of things in context.  A district judge does not have a check on power for a newly elected representative in the Executive Branch that represents the people who put him there.  I know Justice John Roberts and Amy Coney Barrett will want to consider the Supreme Court’s role in cooling the actions of what could be viewed as an out-of-control Executive Branch, which is the traditional role of the Supreme Court.  However, like the election fraud cases and other serious infractions to our legal system over the last few years, real trouble has been written into the strategy itself.  Many enemies of America are trying to take advantage of our legal system and purposely place the Supreme Court in the middle of the fight with an eye toward checks on power by inspiring radical judges like Boasberg to test the legal waters and attempt to win cases against a president that radicals desperately want to stop.  The temptation is to enforce the law in a way that states that no president can enforce the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 because it requires Congress to declare war; a president can’t do so himself.  The win for the President will be under the deportation of any non-citizens deemed dangerous to the peace and safety of the United States with a “predatory incursion.” 

What everyone is missing in this case is that last part: hostile characters from foreign countries do not have First Amendment coverage as noncitizens, and they certainly don’t have the right to predatory incursion meant to overthrow our country.  That’s why the Federalists, with John Adams at the time, pushed to create the act, which continued while Jefferson and Madison were presidents leading up to the War of 1812.  At that time, after the Revolutionary War, the English, the French, and the Spanish were all fighting each other with America in the middle, and many of those foreign countries were working desperately in the background to topple the new nation from the inside out.  The tactics used during this time were very much like what we see today with the efforts of globalism and finance trying always to erode away the ground under our feet. And when it came to the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, the Federalists wanted to remake America into Great Britain, while the Anti-Federalists were very cozy with the French.  However, the English and French were at perpetual war, and they found that America played a great neutral ground in undermining each other, with both betting that the other would topple and take the new country of America with it.  And the Spanish gambled that they would be nearby to pick up the pieces once everyone else collapsed.  So, for our country to function, foreign influences had to be removed because they intended to weaken our country before it started.  Those same tactics have been learned and used by modern countries and even individuals hostile to our system of government who want to see a one-world rule that erases away the Constitution and reforms American law under a United Nations charter.

But Nicolas Maduro of Venezuela is certainly anti-American and, specifically, the Trump administration.  Always lingering in the background on attacks against immigration fairness is the radical leftist hope that with migration, socialism and communism will seep under the door to immigration policy and destroy the capitalism of America and our economy, which is certainly a fantasy of Maduro who wants to be able to control the price of oil, one of their most significant exports, and using chaos to control those prices.  But he and dozens of other little nations wrapped around the axil of communism would never directly declare war on the United States with its ominous military, instead they would try a much more passive-aggressive strategy by supporting state-sponsored terrorism that couldn’t easily be traced back to the host country, and that’s what Tren de Aragua gang members are, cartel terrorists meant to poison Americans with drugs, and to harass our legal system beyond the controls of our law enforcement, hiding terrorism behind illegal immigrations and the no man’s land enjoyment they fully utilized during the Biden administration to expand their network vastly.  Under the dialogue of law for our young country, our history in dealing with purposeful “predatory incursions” is why laws like this one are still on our books because we have had to use it several times to enforce our border security and to keep the enemy from undermining our society from the inside out, we’ve used it during the War of 1812, World War I and World War II, and we have to use it now for what is an attack on the basic infrastructure of our country and the fundamental concept of rule of law. 

The hope is that ambiguity on border policy might swing a few wobbly judges like Roberts and Barratt in the direction of the many hostile representatives operating in our country under a strategic desire to topple our country toward globalism from the inside out.  However, under the President of the United States, border security is a clearly defined obligation of the Executive Branch, and he does not need Congress to declare war.  All he needs is “predatory incursions” that threaten border security, and the drug cartels of Mexico and Central America are intent on doing just that.  And for District Judges, Justice Roberts is wrong on this; those who purposefully test the fences to attempt to erode the powers of the Executive Branch in favor of known hostilities must be punished.  We have trusted judges too much, and we see lots of radical actions by the Bar Associations that have sought to undermine our country as we know it for an order in which they had more power and control.  What Judge Boasberg did was essentially no different than what the socialist tyrant Nicolas Maduro was doing with the Tren de Aragua gang members, and that is to provide a predatory incursion on the daily life of the American people.  They have to be punished for an act of revolt against our country, and in this case, to create instability in enforcement among the Executive Branch.  Globalists in the form of domestic enemies, which is what Judge Boasberg made himself into, are terrorists when they try to attack the sovereignty of a country by saturating it with illegal immigration and then putting those rights onto the newcomers without earning that right with the purposeful intent of allowing our legal system to be overcome with a menace.  This is precisely what Judge Boasberg, appointed by the domestic terrorist Barack Obama, was trying to do to Trump, to tie up his hands in court so that the Maduro strategy through undeclared war through drug cartels could undermine our society in ways that a military never could, by destroying us from the inside out, a “predatory incursion.”  And that by the time we figured it all out, our country would be gone, killed by kindness.

Marc Elias and Mark Pomerantz Committed Sedition Against America: They have to be punished and more for what they did

It can’t be forgiven or forgotten what Marc Elias and Mark Pomerantz did to President Trump to commit election fraud.  It’s not enough to deal with what they actually did, but we have to consider the intent, just as any legal matter would traditionally, and justifiably, be settled.  Because unless we punish them, and punish them hard with years in jail, a loss of their incomes and reputation, and perhaps even worse, these people and many others will do it again.  We’re talking about what Trump said about them when he gave his recent speech to the Department of Justice.  And I’ll go one further: they would have gotten away with it if it wasn’t for January 6th and the anger over election fraud.  These people had to somewhat play by the rules they intended to break because they were scared of people coming uncorked on them because of what they saw once Trump was removed from office.  So they at least tried to give the illusion that they were playing by the rules.  But at a minimum what the Democrat lawyer Marc Elias did to support Joe Biden’s election theft of 2020 can only be viewed legally as sedition and a conspiracy against our nation.  To further cause massive abuse of the power system in place, Mark Pomerantz left his job as a federal prosecutor and joined the Manhattan District Attorney to go after the Trump Organization itself and destroy the past and future president’s access to income.  It should never be forgotten that if Trump had not won the 2024 election, he would have been sentenced to hundreds of years in prison and would have been driven to bankruptcy.  Both of these guys went for Trump’s jugular without even thinking about what might happen if he were to win another election and be restored to the White House.  They intended to destroy Trump and to send a message to the rest of us never to play in their sandbox of Washington, D.C., again.

We all know attorneys like Marc Elias and cutthroat losers like Mark Pomerantz.  They knew Trump won the election, so they openly sought to suppress the evidence and to run out the litigation methods in the courts by using time against the concept of justice, knowing full well what they were doing.  And to keep the cover-up going, they had to destroy Trump so he could never afford to run for President again.  The message was that they had control of the system, not the voters and that they were going to use the legal system to remove a president from power.  There were a lot more people involved than just these two, but they willingly played their part in a coup of a people’s pick in the White House.  And at a minimum, they committed sedition against the United States. Sedition by technical definition, is defined as conduct or speech inciting people to rebel against the authority of a state or government.  It typically involves actions or words intended to undermine or overthrow established governance, encouraging resistance, insurrection, or disloyalty among citizens or officials.  Sedition differs from treason in that it doesn’t require an act of war against a state but only a mere advocacy or conspiracy to qualify.  And by that definition, Marc Elias and Mark Pomerantz committed sedition against the sitting government, which was the Republican President Trump.  Our means of resolving political disputes are elections, and they sought to tamper with them, in one way by fighting challenges in court because the process exceeded the timelines, so Elias could run out the clock in court filings because of the need to put Biden in as president was faster than the courts could process the evidence.  Elias also knew that the courts and the political machine itself could not afford to let people know the truth about the election fraud they had used to get rid of Trump.  They didn’t like Trump and they all did what they did to remove him from office.  They didn’t expect people to know what they were doing and stay angry about it for the next four years. https://youtu.be/3TRkuSGkx9c?si=FXzMhXZLkjmsZ8Mp

And Mark Pomerantz was going to validate what Elias was doing by ensuring that there was never another head-to-head matchup that would show what they did to cheat in the election.  In 2020, COVID-19 was used to change election standards, which allowed for massive cheating, which they couldn’t do again in another election.  So, the big fear, once Trump survived everything, was to get rid of his ability to run again with court challenges that would destroy him as a person because they had to maintain the coverup of the 2020 election fraud.  Once Trump was on stage with Biden for that June 2024 CNN debate, everyone knew, especially Marc Elias, that they would not be able to get 81 million votes for Joe Biden again.  They didn’t get it the first time because they had allowed voter irregularities to be counted as actual votes, and those people weren’t real.  And with all the eyes on the situation, they knew they had to try something else, so they put Kamala Harris in the role and pushed out Joe because if they had a head-to-head matchup, it would be obvious what they had all done four years prior, and they couldn’t afford that.

So don’t imagine that everyone has suddenly become cooperative and that Marc Elias and Mark Pomerantz are victims looking over their shoulders at a president who named them precisely at a speech at the DOJ where there is a new, aggressive Attorney General. And that it’s unfair to go after political enemies.  No, these guys are more than political enemies.  They inspired sedition against our country, against our election system, so that they could erode trust in our election system at the most fundamental level.  And they weren’t just trying to destroy Trump and his family.  They were sending a message to everyone who supported him that we didn’t have control of our government.  They were in charge, and if they had been allowed to stand, if they had succeeded in keeping Trump from running again, which they tried everything in their power to do, we would have officially lost our government to this fourth branch Deep State government where lawyers like these two seditious characters ran cover for a corrupt system that steals money from the people and gives it to themselves as the corrupt aristocracy of nonrepresentative government.  And they all got caught, and they are only being friendly and cooperative now because they hope their guilt is never revealed.  But Trump called these two out because they must be an example.  And he will slow cook them, let them sweat it out because they deserve punishment and more.  They are evil people, and any capacity for compassion toward their intentions has long expired.  And they have to be punished for the sedition they utilized against the United States of America.  Not because they went after Trump.  But they tried to steal our government from us and then cover up their crime with further crimes.  And we can’t have that.  So they must be punished in a way that will give pause to the many others lingering in the background, thinking of doing worse if they can get away with it.

Protestors Aren’t Valued: Threats of violance are not replacements for good debate

I would say it was a fortunate thing for me to see; after all, that’s what I was after when my wife and I recently took a vacation to Washington, D.C.  Within a few days, I was able to see protestors up close and personal in places where they cause the most trouble, and they answered questions I had been having by seeing them up close and personal.  The first group I encountered was at the Mall in Washington in front of the Lincoln Memorial.  The second was just a few days later in the rotunda of the Ohio Statehouse.  Later that same night, I saw protestors at the Lakota school emergency meeting on school funding who were there to shout down local political representatives who were called to answer for depletions for school funding.  These protestors were the “always more money” types without ever demonstrating why spending more money would ever make anything better but to push a few more of them into diabetic medicine because of their terrible diets.  By the looks of their girth around the waist, they could afford to skip a few meals and more money would only make their problems worse.  That was the same problem with the protestors in Columbus; they were screaming for more school funding without demonstrating how more money would improve anything.  Then, of course, the protestors at the Mall were protesting Elon Musk’s attack on science when, in reality, he is personally doing more to enhance science than anybody in the world.  They were all such negative people who were very difficult to have any relationship with because the nature of their existence was below the line, and to my way of thinking, that makes them impossible to work with.  You can’t build a prosperous society with below-the-line people by using a business metaphor popular in efficiency discussions.  Negative people drowning in their misery need fulfillment that they can’t give themselves, which they misperceive as more of something to cover what is lost in themselves. 

I have a lifestyle that moves very fast.  I do a lot more during a typical day than most people will do in a month.  I don’t say that I want to put anybody down, but yeah, many people waste time talking about nothing, and I am not one of them.  I find something else to do when I sense that someone is wasting my time.  So I don’t get to see these kinds of protestors very often because I live my life in a way that doesn’t have time for them.  I don’t value what their problems are because I see Democrat politics as a political expression of a broken person who has not dealt with their deficient thinking.  And broken people are not equal to people who purposefully live good lives.  It is not correct or fair to penalize a good person with the thoughts of a bad person.  As defined here, an evil person is a person who allows bad decisions to govern their existence purposefully.  We aren’t talking about a mistake in judgment here and there; we are talking about purposeful neglect, using victimization status to avoid doing work, solving a problem, or even raising kids.  My experience with school funding protestors, for instance, is that they are surface-level people who do not have the self-confidence to raise their children, so the fantasy of state ownership of their children means they can appear to the world to care for their kids but what it does is allow them to blame someone else for the deficiencies of their children’s growth.  It’s much easier to blame a teacher or school funding when the real problem is the parents themselves.  The public education debate allows them to defer their responsibility in contributing to the problem because if only more money were spent on the children, nobody would notice that the protester is just a bad parent and probably a bad person.

Another aspect of this whole issue is that bad people, such as protestors, have been able to hide their failures behind the value of free speech.  In our form of government, where we encourage debate, we have not set a high enough bar, which is now occurring, for the quality of an opinion. Instead, protestors were celebrated for participating in the free speech debate, which is the cornerstone of our Republic, because they stood around like idiots holding a sign, protesting something.  Rather than present a reasonable argument about something that could be debated, they fall into the Al Green side of victimization protest, copying what they think worked during the Civil Rights movement.  So let me explain something about all that.  The Democrats wanted to erase their sins of the past of being slaveholders, and Lyndon Johnson was in the White House looking to bridge that gap and steal the merit away from Republicans who had been championing Civil Rights for people of color all along.  The protests of the flower children during that period were not the mechanism that launched reform.  It was the cover story of actual guilt that Democrats wanted to rid themselves of through the optics of protest.  So, the protests are not what moved the legislative needle on reform.  It was only a fake cover story to distract reporters and historians from the Democrat past of alignment on slaveholding as a political party that had been for it but wanted a divorce due to modern pressure to compete with Republicans and maybe even beat them at their own game.

So, the protests never worked.  And they certainly won’t work this time.  The vicious attacks against Tesla because Elon Musk is the CEO of the company only remind people of the kind of negative people who turn to protest rather than logical arguments and further root the MAGA movement to a growing audience.  The destruction or else form of political debate isn’t going to work.  They think that if they threaten to destroy property or even fight you in the parking lot of a public school, you will be compelled to see things their way for your safety and desire to preserve your property.  These people caught on camera keying the paint job of Tesla owners is the worst form of grievance jealousy that is attempting to disguise a flawed and broken person behind the value of the First Amendment.  But because they can’t articulate a debate, they only have the threat of violence and destruction as a counterpoint.  But if they run into MAGA supporters who are better at violence and fighting than they are, well, then they are in real trouble.  I certainly don’t have room or tolerance for one bit of bad behavior and below-the-line thinkers.  I’ll listen to a reasonable debate, but to be honest, I sniff things out very fast and determine if someone is wasting my time, and I will move beyond them quicker than they can blink.  And I’m certainly not alone in this.  These protestors will not recreate the past hippie movement protests and get legislative representation.  They will be left behind because that is the mode of the world.  I would say that it was always that way and that protests in America were more theater than substance.  But it’s even more so today, and seeing the early strategy against the Trump administration in general by protestors without an argument, they will not be successful because all they have to offer is violence.  And the people they are threatening aren’t going to put up with it.

The Mansions of Fairfax County: Understanding just how worthless the CIA is

Like most things surrounding Trump’s election and occupation of Washington, D.C., I like the government much more than I did prior, especially regarding the CIA, where Trump’s appointee for Director of the Central Intelligence Agency was sworn in on January 23, 2025, John Ratcliffe.  I still think the CIA is a ridiculous organization of unpatriotic losers who cause trouble in the world, lie to the American people without accountability too often, and blame their habit on “national security.”  However, I think Trump has a better handle on them than any other president, so as I did all around Washington D.C., my wife and I spent a lot of time checking out the CIA from the employees’ perspective.  I wanted to live where they lived and shop where they shopped; I tried to eat where they ate and see the world through their eyes as much as possible.  In general, because it always comes up regarding politics, I wanted to understand the politics of Fairfax County, where the CIA is located, and understand what being the wealthiest county in the United States looked like. Loudoun County just to the northwest of Fairfax, is the richest, but we wanted to be as close to the CIA headquarters in Langley as possible so my wife and I camped our RV at Fairfax Lake for over a week and used that as our base of operations for exploring Washington D.C., since it was so close by from that location.  These affluent areas are not from mass productivity and a diversity of economic output.  It comes from employees with high-paying but otherwise useless government jobs, especially at Langley and the Pentagon just down the road.  I can’t say enough about the benefits of RV camping to investigate areas like this, where you have all your stuff and resources, and can get far enough away from the topic to gain an objective opinion.

Every day, we would take the Washington Memorial Parkway into the city, so we got to see a lot of how Fairfax County lived from our base camp, essentially at Tyson’s Corner.  We shopped at that Walmart for our stay, visiting there several times, which I enjoyed as it was the first one in a skyscraper I had ever been to.  Walmarts are generally prominent places with big parking lots outside of cities.  So we expected a Tyson’s Corner Walmart to be one of the biggest and wealthiest stores in the country.  But this one was smashed into the first floor of a high rise, and all the parking was in a parking garage, so it was different.  I enjoyed going there to get our groceries, which prevented us from wasting a lot of time eating out during our stay, which is a giant time killer.  You don’t get to do nearly as much when you waste time on necessities like food.  On road trips, which we do frequently all over the country, we usually eat in the morning at our RV, in the comfort of our own space, and then again once we return to the camper that night.  Everything is much more comfortable than a hotel room, and it’s incredible how much you can get done when you decouple from excess human interaction.  But to feed that, you need access to a good grocery, so the Walmart at Tyson’s Corner took care of all our needs and gave us a nice window into the kind of people who lived there.  We were camped as close to the CIA headquarters as anybody could get, and I could begin to see what daily life was like for those employees. 

And let’s say I have never seen so many mansions in all my life, anywhere in the world.  The drive to Washington, D.C., from our campsite was under 20 miles, and it didn’t take long to go back and forth.  But if I had to compare it to a region, such as Indian Hill in Cincinnati, Ohio, which is the wealthiest area in that location, the mansions in Fairfax County went on for dozens of miles consistently, whereas Indian Hill is only a few miles with some hodge podge real estate here and there that was less than optimal.  In Fairfax County, the people were swimming in loot and had a skewed impression of life and the government’s role.  They were being paid a lot of money to be part of a big machine with questionable value.  You could see how much people would have been threatened by the proposal of President Trump and used the power of government to protect their jobs in the Deep State because they weren’t going to replace their careers with a private sector one of equal value because they were being paid way too much to do way too little.  Driving down their streets and seeing how they lived in very opulent settings, all that government power would and had gone to their head.  However, the area was also much smaller and less scary once you could see everything from a reasonable perspective.  I measured such things, for instance, by traveling from the Breitbart Embassy, where Steve Bannon and the gang do the WarRoom podcast, and driving back to our campsite, going right by the Pentagon and the CIA headquarters, and suddenly, some of the biggest influences of the world are put in perspective relative to each other. 

Yes, the Deep State was real.  But it comprised of people in big government jobs who had created a fourth Branch of government to protect their high incomes.  Not to take over the world so much.   But to maintain an illusion given to them by being brokers of the broken world of too much government power funded by looted tax money and not actual industrial enterprise. Prominent celebrities and ostentatious personalities did not own most of the mansions I saw in Fairfax County, as you might find in Beverly Hills—or even people you see reporting on the government with news coverage on television.  No, there were way too many mansions for that.  Most of the occupants were high-level employees at the CIA and Pentagon who were making a lot of money brokering in national security, and they were able to hide their worthless jobs behind a need for “national security.”  Whenever taxpayers questioned their worth, they would release another UFO story so that our fear of an alien attack would keep us from pulling support for the CIA, which was getting most of its money from black budgets without congressional oversight because of the need for “national security.”  However, they shop at Walmart just like everyone else, hoping nobody notices that what they do isn’t all that important.  And America could do wonderfully without them.  That was my perspective from our campsite and our RV, considering many hours of contemplation from our experiences.  It was a town built on looted money, and a branch of shadow government had formed to protect the illusion of value they were hiding from even themselves.  But the truth is all those government jobs could go away tomorrow, and the people throughout the rest of the country wouldn’t even notice.  So, to pave the way for their continued illusion, they spend their confiscated wealth on lavish furnishings and residences, hoping that reality never comes knocking on their door to tell them just how worthless they are.  Which is why they hate and despise the President and his supporters.

‘Serpent in Eden’: Whats really behind all the foreign meddling and partisan politics

I read a great book while on my recent trip to Washington D.C.  It wasn’t a book specific to Washington politics and history, and it is generally available by Tyson Reeder called Serpent in Eden.  I found it at Mt. Vernon, Washington’s home, and it seemed like something I’d be interested in since it dealt with foreign meddling and partisan politics in James Madison’s America, a kind of not much talked-about period between the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812.  A lot of political activity during this period got lost in the various wars that essentially shaped America as a new nation that is worth discussing.  I think people assume that they know American history if they know the basics of the Revolutionary War, that the Constitution was signed soon thereafter, and that George Washington was the first president.  But that really doesn’t begin to cover it all.  The Serpent in Eden is a really remarkable, tightly packed book with a lot of detail and would take a general understanding of history before really absorbing it.  It views the world through the eyes of James Madison, the tiny man but brilliant mind who shaped the Constitution and served as the fourth president of the United States.  But he was writing the Constitution as America was trying to figure itself out, and Washington was trying to preside over everything as a country was trying to start from scratch on an idea of individual liberty, which was a completely foreign concept at that time.  In many ways, it is because of one straightforward term: “We the People.”  The world didn’t understand what that meant, so they didn’t have much respect for the new country.  They did respect George Washington, but they didn’t understand the idea of willfully giving up power and returning to the farm after service to the people was completed. 

To understand the problem we have today with foreign meddling, which George Soros would be a good example, and just one of many, this particular period at the start of the country is an interesting story.  Because America had its original 13 colonies that it was trying to make a country out of, but there were still French holdings along the Mississippi River, Spanish in Florida, and England smarting from their Revolutionary loss and plotting to retake its colonies once a few years wore down the rebels hanging out in Canada, where the French were still hostile and had alliances with the many Indian tribes.  All those forces were plotting and scheming to use America to leverage their enemies, specifically the French against the English, and all early politics centered around these factions of Anti-Federalists, who became Republicans against Federalists, the early version of the big government advocates.  The trick was how to have a big enough government to deal with all these hostile countries that weren’t too big to suppress the will of the people it was supposed to serve.  The English and French thought such a concept was hilarious, so they posed a constant threat by looming in the background attempting to tamper with elections to swing policy in a direction of their liking.  There are a lot of lessons in the truly remarkable story of how America survived all this tampering to win the War of 1812 with Madison in the White House and having to escape before the British burnt it from the inside out.  It was a tight walk on a razor’s edge to build the kind of government we see today, and given the ambitions of globalism and not wanting America to exist at all, you can understand the real problems of our day by seeing how people saw things from the very beginning.

I was in the right mood to read Tyson’s new book, as it had just recently come out.  It was available at all the leading book outlets, but Mt. Vernon has a wonderful gift shop, as you would expect, and it was the kind of book you could get as a souvenir that captured the area and circumstances of America’s birth.  I was at Mt. Vernon trying to see the start of the country the way that George Washington would have seen it.  Not the way that historians with a very shallow grasp of history would have.  These were real problems that reside in the hands of our current Supreme Court as they try to keep our country as close to that razor’s edge as possible.  But it’s hard on a good day because America was never respected, and it still isn’t today.  What is respected is our version of capitalism, which produced a lot of wealth, and people around the world wanted a piece of that wealth.  But our system of government for the people was never understood.  Because nations were built around the concept of sovereignty, such as Napoleon Bonapart, who was Emperor of France, he could speak as a representative of the whole French people.  Or King George in England.  If George Washington was going to give power back after two terms in office, then who represented the government?  These fighting politicians in Adams, Hamilton, Jefferson, Madison, and others?  So, of course, in the chaos of all that political contemplation, the nations of the world plotted our demise, as they still do because they don’t understand how a government can serve the people rather than the people serving the government as one people who then dealt with the world.  It was not an easy idea to flush out.

So, the Serpent in the book is all these foreign whispers trying to steer America in a direction beneficial to them, just as the serpent tempted Eve to eat from the apple.  So, too, is the business of foreign lobbying, which is a big problem today and is at the heart of the tariff war Trump puts forth.  But there’s a secret in the background of all that, which really emerged from this period with Madison and the War of 1812.  And the Louisiana Purchase and Westward expansion in general.  The world does not know what to do with free people, who a regional monarch or emperor can’t control.  It hadn’t ever been done in the world, and it’s still perplexing to all nations.  And their only defense against it isn’t armies, but in political narrative.  They had infiltrated both political parties in America. As a result, essentially leaving “We the People” without any accurate representation, violating the Constitutional merits Madison and others worked so hard to perfect and for our Supreme Court to hold so tightly to the vest, as a matter of principle.  The defense against the various serpents in our political system of foreign meddling and influence was that the American concept was too big to alter.  That’s how Jefferson ended up with the Louisiana Purchase.  Napoleon never thought America would survive long enough to do anything with the land, so he thought it was a safe bet.  But he lost power before America fell.  The English were trying to push everyone into decline and never thought a country without a military could win a war against them, but Andrew Jackson ruined all their days, and the Spanish too.  All the hostile elements, including the conspiring Indians, were betting on America to fail, but it survived anyway.  Because the brilliance of the Constitution made us too big as a country to fall into such minor grabs of power.  The idea was more significant than the military plots of conspiring nations, which makes us more important than other nations.  Our ideas for personal freedom are more lofty than any other government on the face of the earth or in human history.  It is extraordinary and a big step for the human race.  And it was a real work of a miracle coming from human minds during a very tumultuous time.

Why The Department of Education Had To Go: The hidden zombie army going after Elon Musk–the anti-George Soros

Yes, Trump did what I told everyone for years was going to happen, he has signed an executive order getting rid of the terrible Department of Education.  I’ll have a lot more to say on this issue but first we have to take a look at the kind of people who will be upset by it.  Essentially, what America needed were billionaires who would peel away from the destructive tendencies common to people who acquire that kind of wealth and power to become champions for self-government and represent people who didn’t have that kind of power—the anti-George Soros types.  The Soros family, and many like them, have been spending their vast sums of wealth on the destruction of the United States as a country in favor of a globalist idea, and the assumption was that they were going to get away with it.  So the MAGA movement formed out of the Tea Party’s response to all this background manipulation, putting Barack Obama in office with the power and force of George Soros and his many friends, which gave us President Trump and now Elon Musk.  Musk, the current richest man in the world, had been a champion of the political left, but I watched him over time grow into what he is today, which is one of the most prominent representatives of the MAGA movement because he’s a smart guy, and things started adding up for him.  And when billionaire defectors were stepping away from the Soros-backed globalist agenda, that was the only path to restoring a representative government.  Because going back to President Jackson’s fights with central banking, the freedoms guaranteed by the American Constitution could not be paid for in real dollar currency.  As I have been told many times, well-intentioned enterprises alone do not make success.  It’s always he who owns the gold who rules.  If you don’t have any gold, you don’t rule in the world; therefore, you can’t have freedom.  So, from the vantage point of a political movement, if you don’t have any gold, you don’t rule a world that does.  You can write fancy things down on a piece of paper, but unless those with gold are willing to finance freedom, your political movement isn’t going to go anywhere, allowing people like George Soros to rule always in the background.

Elon Musk’s interview with Sean Hannity at the White House in mid-March 2025 was interesting.  I had just returned from Washington D.C. and stood just a few feet from where Elon Musk gave that interview.  I enjoyed my trip to the White House with my wife.  I enjoyed seeing President Trump fill the Oval Office with portraits of many American presidents to give historical context as people visited him.  And hang the Declaration of Independence right next to his Resolute Desk.  Trump was enjoying himself in this stage of his life.  He had spent his life gaining gold so he could rule, as the game goes, and he was taking that power and genuinely giving it back to the people in an almost Christ-like way, completely sacrificing himself for the fulfillment of humanity’s destiny as a free and self-asserted people.  This is a truly remarkable statement in the context of history.  He has also inspired other billionaires, like Elon Musk, to join him.  But you could see the pain on Elon’s face during that interview.  And I call him Elon as if I know him because, in many ways, I do.  I have been watching him for many years and know a lot about him even though I haven’t personally met him.  There have been a lot of people we mutually know, and we have almost met many times.  But the closest I have come to that was my recent trip to the White House, where we were only a few hundred feet from each other.  But I could feel the momentum shift, even if it was painful for Musk.  He was making a tremendous difference in the world with DOGE, and he had the power to do it because he had won gold in the world and could then hand over the control for people to self-rule because of it. 

But in this process, we have uncovered the root cause of a lot of evil in the world.  The truly defective people tend to vote in favor of all the things that George Soros wants to do because he has used his power and money to do something they desperately want, and that is to live an unearned life of victimhood to provide a veil for globalism.  By taking advantage of mentally unstable people and spending money to make as many of them as possible, billionaire activists like Soros have created a mini army, which no state in the world could create because they have no sovereign connection to official power.  They are difficult to manage, but they can create flash mobs such as they did with the George Floyd incident, send ANTIFA thugs into the streets to develop destabilizing anarchy, and now vandalizing and harassing owners of Tesla cars to attempt to wreck the stock and bring great harm to Elon Musk because Musk had defected and used his power and wealth to empower America toward self-government.  The anger was purely over using DOGE to take money away from the victimization groups who depended on government waste to function.  In military terms, this would be like severing a railroad feeding an army along a campaign against a faraway land.  Losing the railroad would mean they couldn’t get their supplies to the front to feed the army, and the troops would then perish and be easy to conquer. 

I was down at the Lincoln Memorial as many of these government workers were upset about DOGE cutting the waste out of government and protesting the science of Elon Musk.  I saw them up close and noticed their common ambition: a lack of sanity.  These were broken people made more so by the life of easy government money that had corrupted their minds for, in some cases, decades.  Drawing them out of polite society to protest Elon Musk, the Trump administration, and DOGE in general only made them look worse because the usual cover stories were no longer there to hide their antics.  Stories that used racism to drive the narrative instead of the content of the character.  Or kids to hide teacher union radicalism in public schools, made even more urgent because President Trump signed an executive order eliminating The Department of Education, which had to happen.  These are methods that anti-American forces like the Soros family have used to destroy America in the background, to send money to these desperate people now protesting Musk, and turn them into an army of the desolate, almost like a zombie army.  But they had no cover story this time because they couldn’t get to Musk.  They couldn’t get to Trump because, under the rules of humanity, they had their gold and right to rule.  And they chose to give that power to the people of America, which Soros and the many other anti-American forces have been trying to destroy since the very beginning.  But they had lost their cover and were now exposed, and they hated Elon Musk for doing it to them.  But all Elon did was turn off the bad behavior’s funding and expose their unearned merit.   And when you see those people in person, it’s even worse than it looks on television.  And people like George Soros should be prosecuted for purposely making people like that function so poorly in the world.  For intentionally crippling them with easy money given so that they would be a menace of chaos to mass society and they would fight for radical communist causes rather than work to earn real money for themselves.   With the MAGA movement’s billionaires peeling away from the globalist agenda of George Soros and the gang of international thugs who have been ruling because they controlled all the gold–America, for the first time, has a chance to be truly free.  And because Elon Musk joined that movement, they hate him because it pulled away the veil and exposed the rot that was always there.  But now people see it for themselves.  Our education system was built to make these crippled protestors and champions for anti-American causes.  And to fix them, and free them, we had to destroy what made them the messes they are today.  Education must be sent to the states and made much more competitive because the products of public education have only served as the army of centralized finance and hostile agents in the world who have controlled vast sums of personal wealth and were willing to spend it on the destruction of our country.  That’s why the Department of Education had to go.
