Democrats Do Not Respect Civilian Oversight: The disaster of Kamala Harris skipping the Al Smith Dinner

As we get down the stretch of the 2024 election, the big takeaway and primary reason that many Democrats have peeled away from the party only to join Republicans is that a ruse has been exposed that was long concealed.  Democrats with a foundation of Marxism never respected voters’ opinions.  They ultimately adopted the globalist policy of rigged elections to gain and hold power.  They never intended to win people over with a compelling argument about their political platform.  Their entire political strategy has been essentially high school politics; you were either a cool kid or weren’t.  And if that were the case, then you would be cast from society, a society they controlled.  No, what they lost most over the last four years has been their brand.  Nobody wants to be one of the cool kids if what you get is a Democrat.  That was particularly revealing when Tulsi Gabbard announced at a recent Trump rally that she was joining the Republican Party.  Trump has been fantastic at opening up the big tent of the Republican Party in ways that no other Republican in history could have, leaving it indeed a party of the Americans.  When you consider that Robert F. Kennedy joined Trump’s campaign with the intention of a critical position in the White House and Elon Musk suddenly became a Tea Party kind of Republican, the Trump campaign has just been fantastic down the stretch.  Trump has done everything that could be done to bring people into support of him, especially with people of color and among the immigrant population.  There have been a lot of great moments, but I think one of the best will be remembered by the Al Smith Dinner of 2024, where Trump was brilliantly funny.  Most of all, he showed up, but Kamala Harris didn’t. 

Democrats are playing a game they thought would work, and it is consistent with their actions over the past three or four decades.  But Trump exposed it with all his persuasive live performances, especially at the Al Smith Dinner.  When Trump went to the one in 2016, Hillary Clinton was there, and she went and spoke.  She didn’t do very well, but she figured it didn’t matter at that time.  The machine would win for her, so she showed up and did her part.  Trump was great that year, too, but this time, he was outstanding.  But Kamala Harris didn’t show up, and instead sent in a video with a kind of Saturday Night Live skit to help carry Kamala over the top.  Democrats are like that kid who didn’t study for the big test and showed up expecting to cheat on someone’s paper.  Democrats weren’t prepared to run a real campaign for power in America.  They counted exclusively on election theft to win, like all the other Marxist countries in the world presently do, and they were so disrespectful about it that they picked a candidate in Kamala Harris who would do whatever they told her to and run her campaign from concealment the entire time.  Because they have such little respect for the democratic process and the self-government concept of Americans in general, they were not able to compete when Trump made the campaign truly about competency and representation.  The strategies of personal destruction suddenly didn’t work at all with Trump because he didn’t need the Democrats to crown him one of the “cool kids.”  He already was one.  Trump has changed the definition of a cool kid over the last eight years.

The Al Smith Dinner was embarrassing for Kamala Harris because it was so out of step with the nature of the 2024 campaign.  There was no compelling argument to make on behalf of Democrats, causing them to leave the party, such as what Tulsi Gabbard and many others have done.  Just think about how many people have done the same thing all across the country, and they know what will happen in this election.  Now that the close of the election is near, even the big media outlets understand what will happen.  They tried to run the same closet campaign for Kamala that they did for Biden the first time, but people aren’t buying into it.  There is no COVID to cover for their massive attempts at election fraud, and most anybody who isn’t a crazy lunatic of anti-American sentiment is voting for Trump.  And as I have said all along, it will all come down to engagement.  Trump has engaged voters who are excited to vote for him.  Kamala Harris has a few fringed cat ladies and a hamster.  But nobody else.  Trump will break into the seventy millions.  Kamala will be lucky to get out of the sixties.  Trump will win the popular vote because there won’t be the same opportunities to cheat that were so common in 2020.  And the Democrats are panicking over it.  Even CNN has figured out that they will have egg on their face if they support Kamala, who had a particularly disastrous performance there, too, with Anderson Cooper.  When the smoke clears from this one, people will wonder how so many people got it all wrong, and they’ll point to that disastrous Al Smith Dinner with the video contribution by a weird Saturday Night Live skit as the root cause. 

I know quite a few Secret Service Agents, and they report that they can’t see the forest for the trees.  Even with all that I have said, they fear that Kamala Harris will win anyway because they genuinely think the “machine” of politics is truly in charge.  And I tell them they are too close to the situation to be objective.  But plenty of people want to argue with me and believe that Kamala Harris will win as a propped-up asset of the machine, and she thinks so, too.  That is until she was heckled at a recent rally where people broke out into a Trump chant, and she became furious about it.  I hear what everyone says about the machine being in charge.  But in America, that is not acceptable, and Trump has done everything that can be done to unite the country behind the Republican Party, which will have a significant impact up and down the ticket in general for all races.  I see significant losses for Democrats that will wipe them out generationally and even perhaps as a viable political party.  After all this, they may join the Whigs in history as they don’t represent the American people but a globalist ideology that most people find repulsive once they find out what it is.  And the Democrats were exposed through competition for really the first time.  Voters have been looking for someone like Trump to expose this shell game for a long time, and essentially, this is the first time that the stress fractures exposed Democrats for what they have always been hiding.  And it was never more evident than when Kamala Harris skipped the Al Smith Dinner in 2024, even with Chuck Schumer sitting right next to the podium where the speeches were given.  In a friendly venue, she couldn’t even perform there.  But Trump did, and did it very well, leaving no doubt who the winner of the presidency would be.  And history will never forget it.

The Secret to Elon Musk’s Success: His high score on the video game Diablo

I could tell Elon Musk was expanding his intellect as much as a few years ago, and I covered it as I witnessed it.  It was in the kind of books that he was reading, and because of that, I’m not surprised by his support of President Trump.  The only way you can remain a Democrat with Marxist foundations is through ignorance.  When you start learning things, you can’t support dumb politics.  While Elon Musk has always been intelligent and very successful, his political positions are more a result of knowledge than of upbringing or regional considerations.  For him, the realities of running his businesses have driven him to learn more to survive and, ultimately, provide him with a political point of view that facilitates productivity.  Having compassion for other people is one thing.  Destroying the world over compassion is quite another, and I could tell that as Elon Musk dealt with the realities of politics through his businesses, especially the Department of Labor trying to push him to unionize his Tesla plants, he was heading toward more small government than an imposing, all-powerful government that could take everything you own, and sit on FAA permits because you weren’t supporting their political party to stay in power.  For that matter, President Trump also went through the same kind of conversion throughout his life.  That doesn’t make all these people suddenly conservative the way I would be.  I grew up in a conservative area around a lot of conservative people, so I started that way.  As I learned more in life, my roots in conservative thought deepened.  But logic dictates that we all get to the same place once we figure out how the world works and the people in it strive to live in it. 

So, with all that said, people wonder why Elon Musk is so successful and why those who work for him are so engaged.  Now, I talk to many people at a consulting level.  If people listen to me, they are successful.  If they don’t, then they fail.  There isn’t any muddy middle.  There is no consensus on where everyone gets a participation trophy; success is a very rigid standard, and I always get asked about it by compelling people worldwide.   My joint statement toward any successful enterprise is that engagement is the most important and challenging thing to manage in a business.  You can see it in sports when two NFL teams play football.  Usually when one team wins over another given that all the players are the same essentially, they all weigh the same, they are all just as tall and have talented players at all the positions.  The element that determines winners from losers is the coaching staff and their ability to get good engagement from their players.  Labor unions tend to be unproductive because people aren’t motivated to engage in the business through collective bargaining.  They are always fighting the company management they work for to do as little as possible and still get paid wages at a highly engaged value.  Getting people engaged in a project or company is elusive, and the easiest thing that most management turns to is wages, hoping that people will be motivated to make more money and that they might work harder as a result of how much they are paid.  But of course, as I always say, money is not a good motivator.  Throwing money at people does not get people to be more engaged; most of the time, it lowers it as more money often destroys the things that make a person good and strive to be better.  Once a person stops striving for goals in their life, they tend to be less engaged in the things they do, from raising children to buying a new car. 

I thought it was interesting that Elon Musk during the middle of October 2024 had launched new Tesla products, the Tesla Bot and the Tesla Taxi, then a few days later launched with SpaceX, the first Super Heavy Booster into space carrying a Starship, then landed it back at Boca Chica right on target to be captured by the giant chopsticks, to be reloaded with fuel and to launch again.  It was a remarkable feat of engineering by thousands of people, and Elon Musk had created the culture that performed it.  But Musk wasn’t done.  The next day, SpaceX used a Falcon Heavy to launch the Europa Clipper, which is going to Jupiter to study a moon there, and it came off without a hitch.  That launch alone a few years ago would have resulted from a decade of work at NASA.  But after all that, do you know what Elon Musk was most proud of?  He leveled up in the Diablo video game, which he does quite a lot playing video games.  With all his success, he lives in a little shack at Boca Chica, runs around in t-shirts, and plays video games with his co-workers.  He’s one of the wealthiest people in the world, if not the richest, and he has no pretense of measuring success the way we traditionally do, with great wealth hanging from him in a social context.  And he cares about his high score in a popular video game. 

What is expected at Elon Musk companies, and I know this personally, is that he recruits and retains highly engaged people. Business schools have yet to unlock this mystery because everyone learns the same wrong things.  Elon Musk does a lot that goes well beyond Lean Manufacturing techniques, and no consulting firms in the world have yet figured it out.  But I’ll tell everyone here for free because I like you.  The secret to Elon Musk’s success is that he does not, as a management culture, rob his employees of their emotional investment in their work.  By providing a job, they have a means to make a living.  But he does not impose himself on their work and instead removes barriers to success.  Not success measured in monetary value.  Once people can pay for their lives, families, homes, and social engagements, they want to do work they feel good about.  Elon Musk gives them jobs in which they can invest to create high-engagement cultures.  Cultures where people want to work and express themselves through good work.  If you watch employees at SpaceX, you see them highly engaged at all hours of the day, 7 days a week.  Because they like their work, and it shows in what they do. Most companies miss these traits altogether because engagement is challenging to measure.  But once it is unlocked, the results are apparent.  Elon Musk showed how he gets high engagement by not being pretentious at so much success, especially after a week where he started it on stage with President Trump at that now famous rally at Butler, Pennsylvania.  Musk was equally impressed with his high score on Diablo; people see that in him and can relate to him.  When an owner or job provider does not rob people of the value of their work through social conditions that impose a static order upon them, people will then invest in themselves into a project because they want to, for all the same reasons that people play video games with no monetary compensation provided, at all.  People do things because they feel good doing them.  The world is far better off for a business or capitalist enterprise when people are engaged in their jobs because the products produced reflect that engagement.  And when people are allowed to invest in themselves and not be robbed by some cultural stigma, success always follows.   And winning becomes expected, not just some fantasy folklore from some island that time forgot.  But it is available to all who dare to tap into its vast secrets and opportunities for the curious and hardworking.

I Want a Tesla Bot: We need robots to fill the jobs of a lazy workforce and expanding economy

I was very encouraged by the recent product launch of Tesla’s new Optimus Bot, which was revealed to the world just before the SpaceX landing of the Super Heavy booster at Boca Chica, Texas.  Not that the launch event should have taken a back seat to anything, but the SpaceX news was so tremendous that it did.  But to answer the question about the Tesla Bots, I would certainly buy one.  If all they cost is $20-$30K, I could see buying a lot of them because, essentially, they would be like your very own C-3PO from Star Wars, a mechanical assistant to all the things a human just doesn’t have time for.  When Elon Musk said during the product launch that he thought these would be the hottest-selling products in the world, I think he was right.  In the future, they will be as common as a calculator is today.  When calculators first came out, they were a bit of a novelty.  But their usefulness was quickly appreciated.  The Tesla Bots, called Optimus, have been criticized for their flamboyant walking around and pouring drinks for people, as engineers were operating them, but the concept was good.  I’ve seen enough from Tesla AI to know that they’ll get all the bugs worked out and that these Tesla Bots will learn enough from humans to self-navigate and interact with their environment properly.  The ability of SpaceX, another Elon Musk company, to land that Super Heavy Booster back to earth from space with AI technology is essentially much more complicated than teaching a robot to walk around a room and perform basic tasks, so we are seeing something very new being launched here by Tesla that will be tremendously beneficial to the future. 

I enjoyed watching President Trump work a McDonald’s drive-thru. That was a brilliant campaign move, and it showed just how good he is as a person to recognize that something like that needed to be done and that, as a billionaire, he would do it to show people he can relate with them.  Most people work a fast-food job at some point as a first or second job, and I think they are extraordinary experiences.  When I review job applications for opportunities, I look for them to reveal fast food experience since I believe those are great places to learn a work ethic.  Fast-food restaurants are high-pressure environments where speed and quality go hand in hand, and it’s good for people to be exposed to them.  Almost every human being interacts with a fast-food restaurant, likely several times a week.  So, one thing we all have in common is our need for food and the way that food is made and delivered.  So, there was a lot about President Trump working at that McDonald’s in Pennsylvania that was good.  But I talk about them a lot because it’s one of the first places where you can see a weakness in the labor market.  I go to McDonald’s a lot, all over the country, especially in Ohio, as I travel around to fast-draw competitions.  And I see a lot of short staffing in fast food places where most have never recovered from Covid.  I have worked at several fast-food restaurants personally, McDonald’s, Wendy’s, and even Frisch’s, so I know what kind of management decisions go into closing down a second drive-thru window or a dining room over staffing concerns.  I understand why people call off work and why they come to work; I learned a lot during my various jobs in the restaurant industry when I was young.  More than any other source of education.  Until you’ve run the front grill, the drive-thru grill, and the fry station all by yourself at a Wendy’s at the Kings Island location, which was busy all day long, you haven’t yet lived.  But I did that job at the time better than anybody in Cincinnati routinely, and I liked it because it was so challenging.  And for the critics out there, which I have many, I worked that job at the Kings Island location as a second job, working 30 hours per week, including weekends, and my wife and I only had one car.  So I rode a bicycle to get to work through the snow and pouring rain even when the temperature was -10 below zero.  And I never called off.  I never got sick.  And I was never late.  Ever!  My former employers could all testify to those facts. 

The point is that our labor market is permanently damaged.  Even if it were like it used to be, where people had a decent work ethic and showed up for work, we would still have a problem.  Our economy needs to outgrow the limits of a workforce.  Not to be penalized by it.  Meaning we cannot limit our workforce to the limits of labor.  This has been a deliberate scheme by globalists to harm the productivity of American culture and capitalism in general, and we are today seeing the effects of decades of this erosion.  So the future needs an alternative, especially in what I can see as a practical reality in about ten years for the first McDonald’s to be launched literally in space, either on Mars, the Moon, or an orbiting space station.  Don’t laugh; things will move fast once President Trump is elected, and things will happen technologically in a whirlwind. But what we can’t have happen is that our management forces waste all their time trying to call a bunch of lazy kids into work who would rather sit at home and play video games.  I see these Tesla Bots first being applied to industries such as fast food to serve in those much-needed positions.  They run for up to 20 hours, so for basic things like prepping food and delivering it out of a drive-thru window, these Tesla Bots could fill the many job needs that are currently a big problem in the fast food industry.  And they’d be quicker and more efficient than many of the slack-jawed losers currently in those positions. 

Yes, of course, labor unions will have a problem with automated robots doing the work of human beings.  But the economy needs to grow, and labor limits can’t stifle it.  Humans and robots will help each other much the way they do in Star Wars, as natural extensions of human intellect.  What I have often said about Star Wars is that through art and entertainment, the human race has been working out this upcoming reality for a long time.  Now that we have a few generations who understand the concept through fiction, such as Elon Musk, who was exposed to it as a youth, an engineering reality can take place, which we see unfolding in our present time.  The technology is there, the concept has been there, and all we have needed was a President like Trump to come in and take the restrictor plates off the economy to set everything loose.  And that is what we see going on in October of 2024.  I can see these Tesla Bots performing critical tasks in almost all basic manufacturing, and they will cost a lot less than an average employee, but they never stop, only to be recharged.  So, I can see the Tesla Bots expanding sovereign countries’ economic potential and fueling the labor needs for our civilization to move into space.  What would be better to start a civilization on Mars or Europa than a fleet of Tesla Bots going ahead of humans and building small colonies on their own so that when humans arrive, everything is nice and cozy for them to start the actual work?  I think Tesla Bots will be a big part of my life, and I can see buying thousands of them over the next 20 years.  And I think they will tremendously benefit the world we have been preparing for over the last several thousand years, and I’m very excited about it.

Reality Cannot Be Defined By The Lazy Losers: Competition makes everything better

I’ve heard a lot about reality lately, defined by those who are not so ambitious.  Where reality in a proposed Marxist world is determined by the lazy and not very skilled, truth be told, at the age I’m at now, I get asked a lot why I do so many competitive events.  Do I need a few more trophies for my wall and office?  Personally, I don’t.  But I do get involved in those kinds of things, especially in shooting sports, because it tells me a lot about people in general, and I get a kick out of just how much competitors will do as rivals to make themselves better.  When I go to a competitive event, even if I don’t mean malice on my part, I have watched people drive themselves to near insanity with competitive zeal.  And I think that’s a good thing, and I enjoy inserting myself into places where competition is most needed.  And out of all the trophies I have won over the years when I look at them, I don’t so much think of the many victories but of what I was able to do to provoke more competition into people’s lives.  I did get a kick out of a recent shooting competition where there was a not-so-subtle attempt by most of the shooters to distract me from the task of winning.  It’s like a free throw shooter in basketball with audience members waving in the background to divert your attention from the accuracy needed.  But that’s all part of the process, and in the wake of all that competition, things have improved dramatically, which is one of the critical points of my book, The Gunfighter’s Guide to Business.  Capitalism over socialism.  Competitiveness over lazy stagnation.  I consider my work in the world good if I have an army of rivals up all night sweating like pigs, trying to plot some way to beat me.  In that way, I purposely go out of my way to improve the world by making myself a target for that improvement.  And it makes me happy to see people try so hard.

But regarding those shooting competitions, the ones who want to win not by competing, but by some form of sabotage, baked into that mentality are the various levels of Marxism that have so permeated our society.  If people want to win by penalizing you somehow, they aren’t trying to win with a fair fight.  They are trying to win with sabotage.  But even in those circumstances, you can learn much about people and what holds back a culture.  So my interest in shooting sports is to get to that raw essence that is at the heart of all human activity.  Shooters are very competitive and, to a large degree, extremely malicious when left untended.  But they don’t disguise it the way you see in other fields of activity, and it always gives me a good perspective on the human condition.  And that is the nature of reality.  I recently stopped by several McDonald’s restaurants for food while traveling for a fast-draw competition with a particularly intense competitive environment as a backdrop for the whole event.  I noticed that the first window had been abandoned out of the standard two drive-thru windows because of staffing problems.  I’ve talked a lot about McDonald’s restaurants in 2024 because they suffer from short staffing due to a bad Biden economy.  And that the trend of the average worker is to say that such a limitation is “reality.” 

We have allowed Marxism into our world, including the attitude in competitive events where the expectation is to penalize the competitor and to prop up the weak with lowered standards.  When I am in shooting competitions, I love to hear the person beside me breathing deeply and trying hard to beat me like it’s the only thing they have been thinking of for months beforehand.  It is good to be the one everyone wants to beat, even if they have to rig the game.  Because it breaks loose the otherwise mundane existence we see in all Marxist cultures.  When lazy losers and the unskilled try to alter reality with lowered expectations, a great detriment is being imposed on our culture.  I’d rather see people go insane over competition than try to make reality a dismal frontier of bland scrutiny.  At one of those McDonald’s restaurants during that shooting competition, they did not open both drive-thru windows, but the young girl working that second window was trying to keep her times down with great effort anyway.  And when I told her she was very speedy, her face beamed excitedly because she was glad someone noticed.  She would be paid to be fast or slow on that drive-thru window, all the same.  But she chose to go fast, and I’m glad she did because I was in a hurry, as usual.  There is a lot to do in the world; the quicker we can do it, the better.  And that pressure is healthy; people need that pressure.  They need to feel that competitive zeal.  They need to think of hatred for a competitor getting in their grill.  Because in their efforts to defeat you, they will become better people. 

So, in that respect, we don’t accept reality as defined by the lazy losers of the world.  For instance, I showed up at a gun shoot recently, and most of the people there obviously didn’t want me to arrive.  They hoped I wouldn’t come to the event because they would have a better chance of winning if I wasn’t there.  So they conspired to act concerned about some mechanical issue that was going on with my gun during its initial inspection.  So, before I knew it, a small team of people wanted to help resolve the problem, which, to me, wasn’t a problem.  But for them, it was necessary to put doubt in my head and distract me in the confidence of my equipment.  I tried to be as polite as possible during all this because what is looming in the background is a recognition that they are trying to keep reality pinned down to a status quo that facilitates their lackluster speed and endurance.  And it’s gotten so bad over the years that when people find out I’m coming to a competition, they withdraw so they don’t have to suffer embarrassment.  So many games go on psychologically and essentially struggle to keep reality from being defined by the best but by the laziest and least ambitious.  To see it clearly, I go out of my way to compete in many endeavors so that I don’t lose touch with that feeling and that hatred that usually comes from competition that is never really friendly. If people are being nice to you, it’s because they are trying to take the edge off you to make it easier for them with less vigor and expectation.  A competition between friends is a nice concept.  But truthfully, it’s always ruthless, and it should be.  At least honesty, in reality, is defined by the solid and competent, who push the lazy and lackluster to perform better than they otherwise would.  When I look at my many trophies, I think of each one of those occasions and remember that to win meant you had to push other people toward improving themselves for the better.  And in those small ways, big things do happen when competition is stiffest, and you fill the minds of your rivals with fantasies of victory for which they would never even attempt otherwise.  And in that way, reality is defined by those who work hardest and are the best.  Not those too lazy to strive to be anything more than a slug.  When you push yourself to compete at anything, it helps to see the need for competition where it’s needed most.  This is why I spend my time doing competitions rather than sitting in a rocking chair on the front porch waving at cars as they drive by.  Making the world better starts with a good competitive attitude and a lot of hard work.

Nobody Wants Beta Men, Not Even Women: The disaster left behind by progressive Democrats and their plots of doom

Trump was hilarious at the Al Smith Dinner in 2024 by calling various men from the Democrat party essentially women, and people laughed because they knew the truth.  Even women.  This whole women’s rights thing has been a disaster.  Not that we should treat women unfairly and not allow them to vote and own property, but in the more subtle strategy of destroying the American family.  There are a lot of things coming undone in 2024, and this issue of wokeness and robbing society of extraordinary women and powerful women is being rejected as we speak, and Trump gets that trend.  He played on it with jokes that were more than true, making them funny and a forbidden subject that has been taboo in our society.  When Trump told Chuck Schumer, with him sitting right next to him during the speech, that Chuck might still get a chance to be the first woman president, the joke became the highlight of the evening and more than a little bit true.  This discussion has mainly emerged during the campaign season of 2024, with Democrats digging in on toxic masculinity by exhibiting Doug Emhoff, Kamala’s husband, as an example of what the 21st-century man should be.  But as the Harris campaign moved in that direction, people started doing some digging and found out that Kamala’s husband had been naughty to women, treating them in very scandalous ways, slapping them, and forcing them to flirt with him at his law practice.  This brings up the secret behind the entire Democrat party: they often present a public profile to hide what they do in public.  And by talking about toxic masculinity, they hope that the low-information voter will overlook all their evil actions.  Just as they have done with Tampon Tim, the proposed vice presidential candidate for Kamala Harris, as he has promoted tampoons in men’s bathrooms but trying to get the public to think of him as a hunter and gun rights advocate.  Democrats are liars who use politics and the power that comes from it to mask their intention to abuse other people and commit crimes. 

The creation of the beta male has been very destructive for the human race.  Men are typically physically more robust, so fighting with each other tends to be more literal.  Men are quick to anger; they might have a vicious fight in a parking lot, but they get over things quickly and can often become fast friends with their enemies.  Women, though, are more psychological.  Since they don’t have physical strength, they have developed mind games, which often mystifies men.  And that has been going on for many thousands of years.  However, once progressive society encouraged women to enter the workplace, to attack the American family, American business, and the essential structure of how humans engage with each other, what has happened has brought everyone a lot of dissatisfaction, which is lingering behind this current political movement.  Women like men for what men do for them, and men like women for what they do for them.  And that was fine somewhat until progressive in the form of the modern Democrat party, coming straight from the manipulators at the World Economic Forum, started telling people that men can be women, and women, men depending on how they felt that day, and they screwed up everything.  That attitude has also shown up in the workplace.  When people have to do business with each other, there is much less directness than there used to be, making doing business much less effective.  Too few people say what they mean, making it hard to get anything done. 

This poison was purposeful, of course.  However, people in their workplaces are tired of the effects, and the change in attitude toward what the Democrat platform has deeply committed itself to results from massive dissatisfaction.  Yet the Democrats behind Kamala Harris are tone-deaf to it.  They are committed to the communist cause and can see no other way.  That plan meant that toxic men who might stand up to the communist push needed to be removed and replaced in business, politics, and life in general with more people like Doug Emhoff and fewer like Donald Trump. It hasn’t worked out the way it was intended, but the Democrats keep giving us more of them, only to have society laugh at the results.  That’s why Trump said what he said at the Al Smith Dinner; he understands what people think.  Just as when he said on Access Hollywood about women, it was the kind of locker room talk people want to engage in.  Because there is truth in it, men talk about women in superficial ways because that is how they are wired biologically to interact with them.  Women want deeper meanings and can often find they can easily manipulate men to their advantage.  Over thousands of years, we have all developed checks and balances on that power, which Trump understands all too well and has exhibited many times over.  And the dumb people thought Trump talking about grade-A female genitalia were assuming that the progressive mind control message would overcome biology, and that turned out to be a complete disaster.  People being polite entertained those woke rules until they saw what they did to the world around them.  And now they are changing their mind.  But rather than adapting to those observations, Democrats have dug in. 

Turning men into betas has been catastrophic because now nobody tells the truth about anything.  Every interaction has turned passive-aggressive because all fighting has become a kind of sissy-slapping contest.  One thing that Democrats have not looked in the mirror yet to admit to themselves is that Trump is the choice of people who want masculinity to be back in society, especially in leadership positions.  I remember seeing Trump at Tea Party events around 2010 when a small crowd of people who loved his Art of the Deal books would show up to hear him speak.  Back then, much of this progressive woke stuff wasn’t known about its impact on everyone’s lives.  Trump didn’t suddenly arrive on the scene with thousands of people waiting all day to see him.  He became that way because he offered himself up as an alternative to the nonsense of the new beta male rules given to us by vile Democrats who want to destroy the world as we know it.  And we like our world; we like women; we like men; we like tough people; and we like leaders.  We don’t want cry babies who cry their eyes out over a caterpillar squashed on the sidewalk.  We don’t like men who take off for maternity leave.  I say to other men daily, “Did you have the baby?  Your wife did.  You need to get back to work and be a man.  Be tough.”  Work when you’re not feeling well.  Lead when you’d rather take a nap because you are too tired.  Be brutal when it’s hard because people count on you to fight when they are too weak to do it themselves.  And as to these beta males, women don’t want them.   Nobody wants them.  And that was never going to be a thing.  Beta men make the world far worse.  The world doesn’t need where everyone fights like a bunch of women.  Because then, nothing will get done.

Trump is Doing a Rally at Madison Square Gardens: Kamala is so bad, nobody will ever believe she could win

The differences couldn’t have been more clear between President Trump and the ridiculously disastrous presentation of Kamala Harris than at the Al Smith Dinner in New York in October 2024.  Trump was hilarious and spoke well. He attended the live show that traditionally invites both candidates to speak during election campaigns and raise charity money.  While Trump showed that he could have a sense of humor, he demonstrated beyond any reasonable doubt that he isn’t afraid to go into the lair of a beast and to slay it directly.  He was very tough on Chuck Schumer when he told him that “because Democrats are so woke, that if Kamala doesn’t win, that he could still be the first woman president.”  Trump also lit up the former mayor, Bill de Blasio, without any pretense of being friendly.  He doesn’t like him and Trump made it quite clear.  It was a very emotional evening, just a few weeks before voters decided on the direction of America, which indicated a Trump win.  And with all the stakes present, Kamala Harris didn’t go, as she has shown real difficulty in doing live events.  Kamala, as the sitting Vice President, had so little faith in herself and her staff that she recorded a video and sent that to the event, which was horrendous.  Kamala couldn’t do that by herself; instead, she brought in a Saturday Night Live comedian to do most of the talking, which was embarrassing.  Seeing how little Kamala’s team thinks of us was a shame.  But then again, it confirms what we have all suspected all along.  That they believe invisible hands control our presidency and that they don’t have to do events like the Al Smith Dinner.  They can win the presidency anyway with tricks and election fraud. 

So, one of two things is going to happen.  The Kamala Harris team is either dumber than anybody thought or completely tone-deaf to reality, and they will lose in a fiery crash.  Or we have no control over our election system and are going to have to take back our country with physical force.  Trump has gone all in and is putting such an exclamation point on the entire race, pulling well ahead of Kamala in early polling, that he has booked Madison Square Gardens as a campaign rally location.   Internal polling shows that Trump has a chance in areas that typically Republicans don’t, and Kamala is so bad that he believes he has a chance.  Trump even held a rally recently in California, where over 100,000 people showed up.  Kamala has struggled with all live performances, including Bret Baier on Fox News.  The more she spoke, the worse she did, and the public could see how phony she was.  This has left the door open for Trump to dominate in public appearances with no real competition for the public’s need for leadership. The choice couldn’t have been more stark.  So Trump has done the boldest thing possible and gone to places where he was at risk of being rejected, and Madison Square Gardens in downtown Manhattan is one of those statement rallies.  For Trump to fill the arena when Kamala Harris couldn’t even come close is more than just spiking the football after a tough election.  It’s a declaration of winning this election in a “too big to rig” fashion because nobody will believe it if Kamala Harris suddenly wins the election when she couldn’t even show up in a friendly setting to do the Al Smith Dinner. 

With Trump booking Madison Square Gardens, he is filling a venue that psychologically has deep roots in the American mind as one of the largest in the world, and as they used to say about New York, if you can make it there, you can make it anywhere.  And this assumption that New York is off limits to any Republican is being challenged by Trump.  Should things be the way many fear and Kamala Harris did win the presidency with serious election fraud, people will never believe it.  With Trump filling Madison Square Gardens for a rally to hear him speak, when Kamala couldn’t fill a kid’s pool, is a statement to make this election all about too big to rig.  By Trump filling that massive building on the most significant stage in the world, he is essentially showing that he has done all he can do and more to present an opportunity for authentic leadership to the American people.  And they are voting by attending his rallies.  Meanwhile, the real trouble lurking in the background has been exposed, and traditionally, to cover their menace, they have relied on control over the media and public sentiment to hide their ruse.  And under tremendous pressure, they have not been able to answer because Trump has been so good.  Going into the stretch of the election season, Kamala and her people couldn’t answer the call because of the way they have been selling communism to people for decades.  And now it was all coming down around them right in the heart of Democrats’ politics at its core, New York City, first with the Al Smith Dinner, then Trump speaking at Madison Square Gardens.  That the same people who swapped out Joe Biden and put in Kamala Harris think they have that much control over the American people tells you everything you need to know.

Trump, going to New York in the last weeks of the election, says he is confident in the battleground states, especially Pennsylvania and Georgia.  Interestingly, Florida and Ohio aren’t even toss-up states anymore, and Democrats aren’t even trying to maintain the illusion.  This is a stark difference now than it was in prior elections.  If it used to be hard for Republicans to win any election, what Trump has done is flip the script entirely on Democrats, and now the uphill battle is ultimately on their shoulders.  As it looks now, Trump is set to have a blowout win over Kamala Harris and the Democrat Party in general.  They have run out of runway.  Nobody even believes that Joe Biden won his seat.  The Democrat Party has only confirmed the suspicions by the way they have treated him once he showed that he wasn’t going to be able to beat Trump and replaced him with Kamala.  Then, under tremendous pressure at the Al Smith Dinner, knowing they were struggling to sell their message in an honest election, they turned to Saturday Night Live to attempt to sell Kamala to the public.  And it wasn’t working.   So Trump booked Madison Square Gardens to make the election too big to rig.  No matter what happens with digital voting machines and drop boxes, nobody in the aftermath can steal this election.  That doesn’t mean they won’t try.  And if they did present the world with Kamala Harris the way they removed Joe Biden without any votes and tried to give America that mess, clearly Trump has been the president over the last four years, and he was being elected by the people once again.  And that’s why booking Madison Square Gardens was so important.  Suppose they try to give us Kamala Harris on election day. In that case, nobody will believe she won, and a war will be more than merited against forces of tyranny that have seeped into our system of government that can’t be dealt with any other way than by force.  Because we tried peaceful elections, and the Democrats didn’t respect it.

We Are Fighting A Revolution: Celebrities are finally understanding the Banana Republic that we have already become

Don’t mistake the situation; we are fighting a revolution and nothing short.  A lot of celebrities, like Elon Musk and Mel Gibson, are saying these days that if Trump isn’t re-elected, America will fall into a Banana Republic.  I hate to break it to everyone, but we have been a Banana Republic for several years already.  What has happened is that the pretense of communist thought that has always been lurking in the background on just about everything we do has been realized due to its massive failure.  The only thing that has changed is the blankets most people have been hiding under for most of their lives.  As long as they were living well, they didn’t pay much attention, and they could afford to flirt with left-of-center compassions without truly understanding the impact of those decisions.  So long as we were a rich country, we could flirt with evil temptations as there was food on the table, a nice car to drive, and a school to drop off our children.  That is why after Trump was removed from office right after the 2020 election, I sat down and read to everyone from the pages of Cleon Skousen’s famous book, The Naked Communist, because that was the reality of our condition.  And I wanted people to be comforted by that knowledge because what he had to do was nothing short of a Revolutionary War.  We were being tested, and we were going to have to dig deep and find our resolve to take our country back from these evil people.  It wasn’t that we were going to lose it in future tense.  We had already lost it, past tense. When people seem surprised to learn this, they only indicate that they are just now realizing something that has been a fact for a long time. 

Once the smoke clears from all this, history will remember it as a major revolution, and we can only hope that we can fight and win it with a legalized voting process rather than by force.  If you understand the conditions of the American Revolution, it was a lot like what we are seeing today, except the villain is not just an oppressive English rule over some remote colonies, but globalism and its communist intentions by using China as the model everyone else is supposed to follow.  Even a few months ago, Elon Musk was flirting with left-of-center ideas because he could afford to.  Like many celebrities, especially when they are financially well off, they become socially left of center because they have the luxury of compassion, which is one of the perils of success.  How do you keep the “Eye of the Tiger” attitude at winning in life with a full bank account and the realization that there are a lot of needy people in the world, and it makes you feel good to help them by throwing money at them?  It is more of an exploitation of a human need to belong to other human beings than any practical sentiments that might spawn from the exchange.  When people become successful, they naturally want to share that success with their peers so that they will be liked.  And with America’s prosperity, many people have felt guilty for that success compared to other places in the world that are struggling for the basics.  Left-leaning policies are commonly adapted to cover that gap because people feel they have the luxury of excess to entertain those thoughts. 

But when people don’t feel they have an excess, they quickly turn to themselves and their immediate needs for survival.  And that is what we are seeing now ahead of the 2024 election, and people are saying this time, as opposed to at times in the past, that if President Trump is not re-elected as President of the United States, we will fall into a Banana Republic.   Inflation is high, it’s hard for many people to buy gas and food, and their compassion for left-leaning ideas has eroded quickly from 2020 to 2024.  And I said it then, and I’ll continue to say it: COVID scared people because it was the first time that people saw what I have been warning about for years: the intentions of FEMA camps and having their Constitutional rights wholly taken from them.  And to have their jobs taken away, their president, their entire way of life.  It was very traumatic for many people; then, to add to all that an overt stolen election by invisible hands intending to cash in on all the communism that had been imported into our government structure, people were ready to hear what I had been warning about for decades.  Finally, it was natural for them.  And those communist plots are so well entrenched that they believe that in America, the same kind of communist controls were going to be acceptable, which was the whole strategy behind launching Kamala Harris in the first place as an alternative to Joe Biden.  People are finally seeing behind the skin color tricks and the ridiculous notion of the “first female president” when they see what that means during an interview with Bret Baier on Fox News.  It’s silly to think that anybody expected a closet campaign for President to work and that they would have control of the entire media to shape the story.  But they did; it was all in The Naked Communist by Cleon Skousen from the late 1950s. 

To answer the question about voting, yes, we can have this revolution where America retakes its power back from the globalists.  I have been reviewing President Trump’s books on his previous presidency and looking at all the pictures he has put in those books, such as the best-selling Save America which I think is just extraordinary as a work of art.  There are more pictures from that presidential perspective in Melania Trump’s new book too.  What’s unique about those books is that they give the world a seat at the table about who is running things because Trump met them all and knew them.  And what those pictures capture that the conspiracy theories miss is that the people in the world behind the globalist movement are frail and not very smart, which is why they gravitated to communism in the first place as a refuge to their personal deficiencies.  That is what has come out regarding Kamala Harris, who has now been forced to do interviews and abandon the hiding campaign that worked for Biden during Covid in the previous election.  The people behind globalism are not very smart or sinister once you get into a room with them and get them talking.  They are pretty easy to beat.  Their only real weapon has been concealment.  And now they have lost that.  So now that people have confirmed what has been going on with their country, they are willing to fight for it.  This is good because when President Trump is re-elected after what all these evil people have done to them, the American people will reward Trump with the kind of support he did not have the first time around.  Fundamental, revolutionary changes will be made because they have to be.  There must be penalties for trying to take over a country with communism.  And now that people see the truth for what it has always been, without the rosy lenses of compassion clouding their judgment, people are finally ready to do something about it, not just in supporting President Trump for president, but in helping the actions he will have to take to take back our country from the clutches of global communism.  I would say one of the most significant indicators of all this was how quickly the FAA gave SpaceX their permit after the last round of polling came out to show that Kamala Harris had no path to win the upcoming election, and essentially Elon Musk, the guy they had been punishing with government regulation, was going to be their new boss.  So they better stop with the games and give him a permit.  There are many millions of tyrannies like that which impact most Americans, and it’s time to put them all to an end.  And that end will come whether by vote or by force.  But it will come because people finally see its necessity and are ready for a much-needed change.

The ‘Soylent Green’ Effect: Stepping away from the cannibal medical industry of socialized medicine

Cannibals are common in our past, and present.

My daughter and I were sitting in the backyard of her Liberty Township home and looking at the homes that were all around her property. Most were valued at a million dollars each, and we wondered how all those people could afford those homes.  What jobs could they possibly be doing?  And sadly, the answer is that they mostly all work in the medical industry to some degree.  Many of them are in the sales business, whether selling syringes that cost .35 cents to make to a hospital for $200 or X-ray machines and other medical equipment with massively inflated costs.  The markup in the entire medical profession is extraordinarily high, and nobody cares or does anything about it because the cost of all that waste is covered by health insurance.  So, the two industries feed off each other horrendously inefficiently, making everything cost a fortune.  Most of the Liberty Township, Ohio population currently living in those big homes have incomes that can even think about living in those expensive homes because they work in the medical industry or in insurance, making all that funding possible.  There is no way that kids just getting out of college can afford one of those homes, so what is going to happen next to a country that is already struggling with debt, held down by it in grotesque ways?  Well, that’s when I talked about the miracle of the recent SpaceX flight and the upcoming election win of Trump back into the White House, where many of these medical problems will be the subject of his next administration.  And the Kamala Harris people have been trying to use the health insurance issue as a way to scare people away from Trump because, as they say, the President doesn’t have a plan.  Well, the fix to the medical industry is more capitalism, not this socialized medical model we have today that only exists so that people can profit from the prolonged death of people.  I call it the Soylent Green model if people remember that famous movie with Charlton Heston. 

Soylent Green was a dystopian thriller from 1973 where old people were essentially put in a room upon their death and shown all kinds of heavenly images while they died off to give them comfort.  But the moment they died, their bodies were carted off to be chopped up into pieces and processed into food for society to eat.  That is essentially what our current medical industry is; it’s just an extension of the kind of human sacrifice that is common in all leftist cultures, particularly in the Near East with the ancient Canaanites.  The Aztecs, the Cahokians, and the Maya were killing people everywhere worldwide as part of their cultural belief system.  The consumption of human life is to sustain the up-and-coming lives, whether it be in the belief that gods would make it rain for that society or that the old need to be killed off for the young to eat.  The belief system is as old as time, and we have options as a human race with science as a tool only now.  Lots of options.  Using those same biblical references where God wanted the Israelites to kill off the people of the land of Canaan, it was because they were so wicked that Yahweh was disgusted with them.  And we are faced with the same moral dilemma today.  And many of those biblical characters lived for over 100 years.  In some cases, they lived for nearly a thousand. 

Notice how we haven’t talked about STEM cells in a while.  During the 90s, after Jurassic Park came out, people were always talking about cloning and rebuilding human tissue with stem cells.  The sad truth is that we are dealing with a medical industry that has turned to socialized science to produce a Soylent Green effect, and they don’t want to heal people, they want to feed off them.  They want to prolong their deaths so they can profit off their demise as just a modern form of human sacrifice.  Nobody needs to get sick and die the way we currently do.  But even down to the mortuaries, if we apply the same kind of science to the health of our society, a lot of the people who make fortunes off the death of the elderly will suddenly be out of a job.  We have an economy of death that is built on the notion of human sacrifice, and we don’t have to.  Suppose we applied the exact science that allowed SpaceX to land that excellent Super Heavy Booster on October 13th, 2024. In that case, we can also stop aging and heal people back to their prime selves using technology that allows cells to repair a person instead of gradually depleting them.  And the good news is that with a Trump victory, that is the answer to the health insurance problem.  Why would we continue to throw money at a health insurance industry that charges $200 for a little plastic syringe?  When Kamala Harris says she has a plan to help people pay for their medical costs with socialized Obamacare or Medicaid expansion, what is needed is a medical industry with a lot more capitalism in it and the goal of curing cancer and all aging diseases.  Not to sustain them long enough to live a ten-year life of gradually more medical bills paid for by insurance so that younger people can live in million-dollar homes for a while before they go through the same process.  What our current medical industry is cannibalism and just as stupid as every ancient culture that practiced it, which is the foundation of all liberal thought. 

Here’s the other math problem, and Elon Musk knows this all too well.  At this point, for the big picture, we need as many human beings to live as long of lives as we can get them to, and that is not part of the current health insurance discussion.  There is a belief in that same cannibal liberalism that we need to save the earth from those pesky humans, which is part of a mass killing plan that comes up with Big Pharma and the beliefs of The World Economic Forum.  People need to go away so the earth can live; that’s what people like Bill Gates believe these days.  But what we need is the opposite.  We need more people to live longer to colonize space and survive as a species.  The exact needs were present when the Bible was written by people who needed to survive long enough to carry intelligence to the future.  We are in the same situation now.  We are all there are for now because of low birth rates and the fact that it would take a century to produce the number of people needed for this space fairing enterprise.  And we all need to survive for a lot longer lifespans.  So when Trump is asked what his plan is for health care and he says he will plan to bring more competition to the industry, which a lot of short-term thinkers are terrified of because it will destroy the $200 syringe business, the truth is that we have to entirely scrap the old system and embrace a medical approach that heals people and keeps them working longer, having children longer and living as long as they can to transfer their lifetime achievements to future generations more effectively, directly.  The economy will have to change toward invention and preservation instead of decaying human flesh and profiting off the demise.  But first, we have to have courage, elect Trump, and change our entire society away from the Soylent Green model and toward proper restoration and preservation for thousands of years into the future.

What We Learned From the ILA Strike: We need more automation and robots to do the work that lazy people won’t do

Most things that are wrong in our modern economy is the fault of communism; it’s the process of thinking that comes from the ridiculously stupid philosophy of Karl Marx.  And that’s precisely what the International Longshoremen’s Association was during a recent strike, raw communism.  When it comes to these unions, notice they always start with “international.”  These are not American efforts rooted in capitalism.  They are globalist enterprises.  A few weeks ago, the dockworkers at ports of entry for shipping all along the east coast down into the Gulf along Texas walked off the job, which essentially crippled American infrastructure and it was all over pay.  This forced the shipping companies to throw a lot of money at those losers to prevent a complete halt of our economy, which amounted to an average of 4 dollars per hour for each six-year contract with an opportunity to raise wages by 62% over the life of the contract, which previously had an upward pay scale of $39 per hour or 81K per year.  And that is on straight time.  In truth, many of these people are making 300K per year once they had the overtime before this strike, so these dock workers are getting rich off an extortion racket that is essential to the American infrastructure and economy.  Their malicious timing was to perform this strike while a weak president, Joe Biden, was sleeping on the beach before Trump’s next term. They took advantage of the situation while they could and put everyone at risk with a hostile attack on our supply chain. It was reprehensible on a good day and detrimental in their intent and malice.  Fortunately, people learned pretty quickly what the leaders of the strike were up to; they were living in mansions and were not hurting for money for a job that wasn’t that skilled.  In the vacuum of a communist bubble, they had thought themselves something better than what they were, and they took advantage of America for their benefit, and it’s disgusting. 

I don’t like union workers of any kind on a good day.  I think they are worthless slugs rooted in Marxist ideology and have no place in American society.  I know these days, many union workers are breaking away from their leadership and voting for Trump for president, which makes us all friendly under a big tent of politics these days.  But it doesn’t change what they are.  Trump has successfully dealt with unions as a builder, and if you have a good personality, you can deal with reasonable people. Most of the time, union workers think they are doing right.  They don’t think of themselves as communists or detriments to society.  However, as a mob of insurgents who threatened to take away the need for labor if they didn’t collectively get what they wanted, everything they were was born on the pages of Karl Marx.  I think it should be illegal and punishable with years in jail to walk off a job that is critical to American economic infrastructure.  If I didn’t know the teaching profession was so worthless, I’d associate that field with the same sentiment.  But teacher unions have made themselves worthless with their brand of Democrat politics baked into everything they do, which is useless to a conservative family with children attending a school.  From top to bottom, there is no place for communism in our labor force, and the ILA didn’t care.  They wanted to take advantage of desperate people to extract even more money from the process while political disorder was a raging fire.  And what they did will cost us a lot more money in terms of shipping costs.

I don’t respect these ILA workers or most union jobs.  I have seen firsthand how unions destroy a company, and I have been in many fist fights in parking lots myself for breaking strikes in what they call a SCAB.  I, for the fun of it, made a living breaking strikes, one at a company in Cincinnati called Cincinnati Milacron, which is no longer there because of radicalized unions, and a company that built conveyor belts in the 90s for Amazon, well before anybody knew what Amazon was.  I was never one to join with group behavior, and when I disagreed with the behavior, the union stewards wanted to fight, which they regretted.  Many people from my past are ashamed of what they did and what I did to them, just to put it nicely.  I could tell stories about some of these antics that sometimes got bloody for quite a long time.  So, my hatred for these labor unions runs very deep.  To say I hate them isn’t a strong enough word.  But I do have much experience as a blue-collar worker, and I’ve watched the crane operations at the shipping docks who just went on strike, and I can say that it’s an easy job.  Certainly not worth 300K per year.  I’ve done lots of comparable work with cranes and jigs with very expensive hardware, and while it takes some skill to operate, it’s not worth the kind of money these unions extract for it.  They are only paid so much because companies fear through radicalism that all the workers will collectively leave their jobs and cause a work stoppage.  Even though Trump has successfully dealt with unions, everyone who has dealt with them can’t hide the fact that collective bargaining agreements harm enterprises by making them too expensive or taking too much time to do the task.  And very little good comes from a unionized workforce. 

One of those stories I could tell involved three union stewards who thought they were tough guys and wanted to fight me in an empty parking lot near our plant at 3 PM when the first shift ended.  I guess they didn’t think I’d show up, and let me say politely, they didn’t win.  The whole plant showed up to watch the fight, which was very embarrassing for the union stewards.  And that particular plant, once management figured out that the union couldn’t be dealt with, shut down within six months.  I knew it then, and I know it especially now: unions had no place in America, and they were dying.  And that is certainly true today.  Already, robots could do a much better job than many of the crane operators working these docks, and they never call off work or get sick.  Labor in an economy is always needed, but that labor doesn’t need to be a human.  It needs to be intelligent, and with A.I. these days, they are far more intelligent than these dock worker slugs.  I’ve known them from personal experience, and believe me, if you pay them more than $10 an hour, you are paying them too much.  Unions have made themselves worthless, which is the case with the ILA strike.  It only lasted a few days, but it shouldn’t have happened at all.  I would encourage all those companies involved in shipping to invest in robots for their future work.  And don’t waste your time on these slugs that affect our economy.  There is no reason these days to overpay for labor and to throw money at these people.  The ILA strike broke once people realized how much money these employees made.  America was not sympathetic.  They just wanted their stuff shipped to them to arrive.  Globalism has given these international unions leverage through a monopoly status.  And it’s time we change that, for good, with automation and robotics.

The Biggest Thing to Ever Happen to the Human Race: SpaceX performed perfectly with Starship 5

In many ways, the spectacular Super Heavy Booster catch at the SpaceX facility was more significant than when the Berlin Wall came down.  Much more important, politically, scientifically, and philosophically.   It was an awesome display of what human minds can achieve when unleashed, and to say the least, the door to human colonization of space was just kicked wide open.  On an even larger scale, the pages of Karl Marx might as well have been burnt as the most inefficient system of government management ever created.  Capitalism was and will always be the means of managing people and their finances for the future as this incredible event occurred just a few weeks away from the 2024 election, where essentially those are the two choices: abundant capitalism from a sovereign American market or global communism ran by the United Nations.  Elon Musk, the CEO of SpaceX, gets it.  I was probably the first person in the world, including himself, to see Musk turn hard to Republican elected officials as he had in the past been an enthusiastic supporter of Barack Obama and Biden.  I chronicled his change by the kind of books he was reading and pointed it out well before he seemed to have figured it out.  Communism doesn’t work, and it was overt communism that had been holding back this fantastic event of the launch of Starship 5 from Boca Chica, Texas, and the Starbase there with FAA permits that were holding everything up with massive government bureaucracy.   Once they finally had their permit, under tremendous public pressure, the FAA had no choice really; the SpaceX team launched, for the first time in all history, the largest vehicle ever to go into space and have controlled landings in two different locations precisely over their targets, all automated and coming off without a problem.  The countdown to launch was exact and on point, and we saw what routine spaceflights over the coming years would look like. 

America has a choice to make that is very positive: elect President Trump and get a whole lot more toward a massively expanding economy as what people saw from SpaceX on October 13th, 2024.  As I watched the Super Heavy Booster carry Starship into space to land in the Indian Ocean about an hour later, the giant thing the size of a skyscraper turned around and landed back at the same pad it had just launched from.  It returned to earth to be captured by the Megazilla chopsticks at the launch pad precisely and smoothly.  I first thought that we needed to work out the property rights issue that would arise as we settled into space.  The world is getting ready to go through a gold rush similar to what America experienced during westward expansion, and the governing principle will have to be flamboyant capitalism to pull it all off.  One of the very first things that the new Trump administration will have to do is protect property rights on the Moon and other celestial bodies.  It will have to be American economic standards that the rest of the world will have to live up to because we will be the first to arrive and set up colonies.  Starship will make moving into space a practical reality and an economy that will quickly outperform anything ever done on earth, including coal, oil, railroads, shipping, and telecommunications.  We are talking about trillions and trillions of dollars of economic value.  But it’s not about making money that matters; it’s expanding human intellect, and the only way to do that is to embrace capitalism and human expansion into space.  A lot is about to change for the better because of what SpaceX did.  The personal journey that Elon Musk has made politically, out of necessity, is one that the rest of the world will now have to embrace—especially communist China.

While the FAA and other government regulatory agencies were trying to protect environmental concerns in the cooling system of SpaceX launches, and California announced a ban of any Elon Musk launch into space from their state entirely due to his political beliefs, China is plotting to carry their communist nation into space with very aggressive plans.  So, America must be the first to enter these vast realms and establish the ground rules.  The moon needs to be viewed as another continent in our neighborhood that is about the size of Africa, and humans will inevitably go there and use it as a staging platform for expansion into the solar system.  All the typical political models of the past are suddenly irrelevant, which is evident behind the Trump campaign in America.  So many people have come together under Trump, including Elon Musk, that a new direction for the entire world has just unfolded, and the proof of what is possible was just shown by the Super Heavy rocket that landed precisely at a spaceport like something from a science fiction concept.  Only this wasn’t fiction; it was fact.  Over one hundred years of science fiction and fantasy were being engineered into reality, and an explosion of intellect was thrust onto the world stage.  All past philosophies, except vivacious capitalism, would be inappropriate for embracing these massive changes. 

I’ve been a fan of SpaceX for a long time now, and I cheer them on with each launch. They have achieved some new and fantastic engineering breakthroughs.  But I did not expect that Super Heavy Booster to return to the launch pad to be captured like that.  And to answer everyone catching up, why do they have to capture that rocket with the chopsticks? Well, that’s because the Super Heavy Rocket weighs 250 tons, and it would add too much weight to the craft to have legs on it like they do their Falcon rockets.  (the Falcon rockets are named after the Millennium Falcon from Star Wars, by the way, which demonstrates what impact science fiction can have on making it into science reality)  The chopsticks on Mechazilla (also named after the massive mechanical monster in Godzilla movies) are a means to take that pressure away from the Super Heavy craft and place it back on its launch stand to be refueled and relaunched within hours.  See what’s going on here?  The new Giga factory for Starship there at the Spaceport in Texas is planning to build 1000 Star Ships per year, and launches will go up every day, several times a day, to take massive amounts of payload and people into space to live as a routine part of human existence.  Fueled by science fiction books and movies, the imaginations of many brilliant people have found a home under Elon Musk, and now they need an economic system that can unleash their vast potential.  And communism was never going to be it.  The pressure of performance under the upcoming Trump administration will change the world for the better in ways that most aren’t ready for.  But what SpaceX did on Sunday, the 13th of October, was life-changing.  I would say it was more significant than the moon landing because of what it does to the economy of space.  No longer would countries control the realm of space, but it would be the laws of economic reality, imagination, and ambition.  The human race demands autonomy and freedom to think, contemplate, and invent.  And Starship by SpaceX is the means to achieve the greatness of the human race under the potential of capitalism for thousands of years in the future.  And it all starts with a proven concept, which SpaceX has done.  Now, it needs a political system that can make it happen, and that comes with the election of President Trump.
