Its Just Another Communist Trick: Vote No on Issue 1 in Ohio

Probably the most asked question I get is on Issue 1 in Ohio during 2024, the gerrymandering issue proposed by a group called Citizens Not Politicians.  I haven’t heard anybody from any side on that Ohio Constitutional Amendment adequately explain what Issue 1 is.  Maybe they don’t know or are afraid to say it because they might incite inflammatory rhetoric.  I’ve heard countless hours of proposals advocating for Issue 1 and against it, and I suspect that the Citizens Not Politicians group themselves don’t understand what role they are playing in the attempted destruction of America.  People who favor Issue 1 in Ohio during 2024 are the same kind of people who supported the legalization of pot last year and who supported drive-through window abortions after Roe v. Wade went down in flames at the federal level, so that should tell you all you need to know.  However, there is some menacing intent behind Issue 1 that everyone should be talking about, and that is the communist intentions of the proposal, which essentially states that corrupt politicians are gerrymandering electoral constituency to favor one party over the other.  And that this Issue One proposal will make everything more fair in the future.  The accusation is that once they gain power, politicians can keep power by manipulating congressional districts and other boundaries on a map to favor a powerful party. And in Ohio, Republicans have super majorities that don’t look to change anytime soon.  Democrats just aren’t very well-liked in Ohio, and it has nothing to do with gerrymandering, but that they are a terrible party that does not represent what people want.  So the gerrymandering has turned out to be an excuse for the rejection of Democrats in Ohio, and the hope is that if they can redraw some of the districts, more Democrats might have a chance to get into political office. 

So when I say that this whole process is a communist scheme, I mean it in that it’s the philosophy of Karl Marx that has given birth to it, even if the perpetrators have no idea what’s going on. Making things “fairer” sounds nice. After all, we can’t trust those pesky politicians. They are the evil bourgeoise, an aristocratic class of our betters who do everything out of greed and malice.  But in truth, what the Citizens Not Politicians group is proposing is to attack our style of government itself and replace it with another committee of worthless bureaucrats to make decisions about congressional districts under a mask of fairness, but an intention of eroding our representative government in its essential design.  We already have a system that does what they propose to do: elections.  And they are blaming Republicans for the lack of Democrats in elected positions because people don’t want what the Democrats are offering.  But to avoid that issue, the Citizens Not Politicians are offering a 15-member committee of 5 Democrats, 5 Republicans, and 5 Independents to make the decisions our elected representatives should be making.   And, of course, when they try to make it appear fair by including Republicans, they aren’t talking about MAGA Republicans, as the trend is pointing, but Liz Cheney types and soft-shelled tacos like John Kasich.  What is being proposed by Issue 1 is ridiculous and a blatant attempt to change our representative style of government to benefit insurgent personalities who can use just another worthless committee to weaken our constitutions at the state and federal levels. 

I will vote no on Issue 1 in Ohio.  You must always be suspicious of any government activity that proposes more government to solve the problem, and in this case, why would we add 15 more people to perform a task that our elected representatives were elected to perform because we can’t trust them to do the job?  If you don’t like the job your politicians are doing for you, then vote them out of office.  But look here what is really behind this gerrymandering strategy. In that case, the real issue is a political platform that people rejected with their vote, which is how Republicans got so much power in the statehouse to begin with.  That is the nature of politics: to gain and stay in control.  Democrats are looking for a way to erode that power without trying to win over voters to their terrible position.  So that is what is behind Issue 1 and the intentions of Citizens Not Politicians, who publicly state that they are bipartisan.  When, in fact, their intentions are straight from the pages of Karl Marx and would be more suited in communist China than in a freedom-loving America.  When the word “fairness” gets tossed around, it is always the word “communism” because, essentially, it’s the same trick they use in China to sell communism to the public, such as in “The People’s Republic of China” where it is stated that communism is for the people, not those craving centralized government.  In the case of Ohio, the goal is to weaken our representative government and put people in charge under the mask of fairness to erode the power that people have elected into place because of their preferred Republican policies over Democrat monstrosities.  The desire for government to grow is the entire point of Issue 1 in Ohio and to weaken our constitution along the way.

I hate to be that guy who is pointing out communism these days behind every darkened hallway, but that’s what it is.  Chinese communism is the strategy of the globalist world, and it is intended for every corner of the globe.  And because it’s a big no, no word in America, they disguise it with names like Citizens Not Politicians, to make it sound like something else.  But what it is is garbage, maliciousness, and an attack against our constitutional republic and representative government as it was intended.  If people want to win more seats, then win more honest elections and stop trying to rig them in all kinds of ways to put communists in power in ways that the elected government would prevent.  For the bad guys, it’s far easier to control five Republicans on a committee than the randomness of hundreds of politicians who are always coming and going.  The Citizens Not Politicians group wants to put the gerrymandering issue into the same approach we have on our state school boards, and we’ve seen what a failure that has been.  What Issue 1 offers is just as stupid.  But what’s worse is their intent and willingness to lie to themselves and everyone else about what they want.  They are crying for communism and a big nanny state where the government becomes the parental role of society.  The message here is that those mean, greedy politicians are out of control, and the “people” need to take back control over them with another worthless committee.  Ignoring that we elect those politicians in the first place, why do we need another committee?  See the problem?  And the intention.  All communist insurrections start this way by making it sound like “the people” are taking back their government from the greedy politicians of the aristocracy.  And some people are too stupid to know better.  But we set up our government with this whole decentralization of government in mind, where elected representatives “represent” the people.  And that is the trick at play here; the bad guys are pretending to represent the people when the people were always in control.  And they picked Republican supermajorities.  And Democrats have no answer, so they are supporting Issue 1 to erode our constitutional system, which is yet another grab for power and an expansion of government toward perpetual ineffectiveness so that people eventually will give up on it altogether and fall to the whims of communism and the skirts of a jealous, government mother.

Bernie Moreno is Up 2 Points Against the Diabolical Sherrod Brown: The Senate Republicans are poised to win control

The last time I spoke to Bernie Moreno, a few weeks ago, he felt he had his campaign for the Ohio senate seat against long-time Senator Sherrod Brown well under control.  And regarding ad buys, you can’t turn on the TV or the internet without getting bombarded with a positive Bernie Moreno ad.  Bernie and his team are indeed working hard, which is what he told me way back in September of last year, way before this election of 2024.  I had just stepped off a plane from Japan and privately sat with Bernie and his people about this upcoming election.  At the time, I wasn’t convinced that Bernie Moreno would be able to beat Sherrod Brown, let alone win in a three-way race with two other Republicans in an upcoming primary.  At that time, I supported Frank LaRose.  But after many questions and measuring how Bernie Moreno answered those questions, I became a supporter. Now, here we are a year later, and most of the polling shows Bernie overtaking Sherrod Brown by two points, which is quite a feat in and of itself.  Bernie Moreno has essentially done everything he told me he would do at that little dinner, and I’m very happy about it.  I’ve wanted to see someone knock off Sherrod Brown in an election for a long time, and now someone is poised to do it.  Sherrod Brown has held that senate seat for over 30 years, and his voting record is among the worst progressives in government.  However, he was very popular among the labor unions until the past couple of years when Trump broke that wall in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Michigan due to the massive letdowns in the car industry and the Biden EV mandates.  The unions have pulled away from supporting Sherrod Brown, and now there is a real vulnerability to losing his seat from Bernie Moreno, who is looking great for election day.

Again, we don’t want to take anything for granted when we talk about polling.  But it’s much better right now to be Bernie Moreno than Sherrod Brown.  Brown would be in a prevent defense if this were a football game, hoping to hang on to a lead.  Bernie Moreno is the hot-handed quarterback who can’t miss and is driving down the field to score a last-minute field goal with no time on the clock to win the game.  One thing that impressed me at that dinner a year ago was that he told me weeks before it happened that Don Jr. and Kimberly Guilfoyle would endorse him and that he was friends with them.  That I thought was astonishing because one thing the Trumps are, they don’t have a lot of tolerance for losers.  And to have personal affiliations as dinner friends means they didn’t think of Bernie Moreno as anything but a winner.  So that was impressive.  And Bernie also told me that Charlie Kirk and J.D. Vance would endorse him, which impressed me even more.  And now, over the last year, I have watched J.D. Vance personally put his arm around Bernie to carry him with direct support.  I’ve seen J.D. Vance and Bernie Moreno together many times since, and things have been lining up nicely for a major upset in the Ohio Senate race.  To make matters even better, Trump has not had to come to Ohio to defend himself or Bernie because the internals show that Bernie Moreno is well positioned to win, which Trump personally cares about.  That he hasn’t had to do many Ohio rallies says a lot about how good the Bernie Moreno ground game has been. 

The math works, as I have said about the Trump campaign nationally.  It will all come down to voter engagement and Democrats; all Democrats would have a hard time showing their numbers in 2020 this time around.  There aren’t that many voters out there who can do what they did to beat Trump the last time.  I’ve said since then just about every day that the Democrats cheated with mail-in ballots, and their loose COVID rules at the time allowed for the introduction of mass chaos, which they exploited to win several races across the country and push Trump out of the White House.  But now they have a problem, they have to at least perform at the 2020 levels.  Trump can; his voter engagement is excellent; we know at least 75 million people across the country will show up to vote for Trump.  In Ohio, Trump is somewhere around +8 in head-to-head polling. This means voter engagement for a much more exciting candidate will increase.  In most cases, people who show up to vote for Trump are also going to vote for Bernie Moreno.  Even Democrats who typically would vote for Sherrod Brown will likely cross over and vote for Trump and, subsequently, Bernie Moreno.  There won’t be many who will vote for Trump but then Sherrod Brown.  Because Brown is associated with Kamala Harris and Joe Biden by default, the union vote is peeling away toward all Republicans. 

During that nice dinner with Bernie and my head clear from travel in Japan, where I could step away from the American news cycle enough to see things with the big picture, we talked about this EV mandate issue that Sherrod Brown had been affiliated with.  And a year later, the results are pretty obvious.  The EV mandates were a killer for Brown; he didn’t try to protect Ohio jobs from an overreaching Joe Biden administration.  They thought they would never have to win another election at the time, and Brown got caught up in the hype.  And here was Bernie to break him by winning a race with Trump supporting the heavy lifting.  And the whole way, because of his relationship with Don Jr. and the future Vice President of the United States, J.D. Vance, Bernie has worked his ass off.  He has been great on the campaign trail, so things look great for him to win.  To be two points ahead, but even better, to be on the plus side of the engagement gap, show Bernie is well positioned on election day to beat Sherrod Brown.  People still need to vote in vast quantities, at least as they did in 2020.  But if they do, Republicans, not just in Ohio but all over the country, are going to destroy Democrats.  Because they cheated in 2020 with mail-in ballots, they won’t be able to duplicate that effort again.  Too many people are paying attention this time to get their total vote count much higher than in the 60 million range.  Essentially, at this point, for Democrats, it becomes a math problem, and they don’t have enough heads for the math.  As things look, Republicans can pick up 13 senate seats added to the 38 that are not up for reelection this time, putting them at 51, gaining control.  And Bernie Moreno is poised to be one of them and to bring with him support of the Trump platform in spectacular ways that seemed impossible a year ago, but now, he is poised to do great things just as he told me he would do way back then.  What I have learned about Bernie Moreno is that he keeps his word and does what he promises.  And I can’t wait for him to be Senator Moreno with a solid majority.

The Astonishing Trump Rally at Butler, Pennsylvania: Christopher Macchio gave the MAGA movement a soundtrack

It’s been a few days since the event, but I think it was one of the most pivotal events in all political history, President Trump’s return to Butler, Pennsylvania, where an assassin tried to kill him and almost succeeded.  Shots were projected, and people were hurt in the crowd, and a person died.  It was serious stuff, and in this overly litigious world where the safety nazis are ruining everything with a mind-numbing existence of compliance to the authoritative experts of the world, it just doesn’t happen where tragedy is overcome by dramatic optimism.  But that was the message Trump brought with him for this return to the site on July 13th, 2024.  For Trump to return to the scene of the crime and dominate it with an optimistic speech that was attended by a larger group than before was breathtaking.  This second speech on October 5th, 2024, was something America needed to see, and it was probably expressed best by Elon Musk, who attended and spoke, jumping around on stage like a little boy happy to go to a baseball game with his father.  There was an innocence to the wealthiest man in the world and one of the most successful acting like a young kid happy about the future.  It was a sincere moment that history will never forget and Trump set it all up by returning to a place of doom with an optimism very few people in the world could ever hope to achieve.  Yet that is what Trump has been offering: a way to defeat the machine of communism that is present in our current captured government and to rise above it by pushing fear aside and leading the world back to health.  But in the wake of it all, there are a few things to think about that are unique and life-changing and that everyone should be aware of. 

First of all, the crowd defied modern conventions.  It was like the day of the assassination attempt, with bullets flying around everyone, and nobody knew where the shots were coming from or even how many shooters there were.  Essentially, in the middle of a large crowd, there was a shootout because a well-placed sniper did get the shot off that killed the assassin.  People in the audience were hit and killed, and there was blood everywhere.  It was a significant tragedy.  But the Trump supporters didn’t run from the area like a bunch of cowards.  Instead, they ducked, they looked around, and they remained calm.  This is a reaction that years of Hollywood productions by skinny pants losers from Santa Monica screenwriting don’t understand about real Americans.  Not the latte-sipping sissies of Democrat areas, but the meat and potatoes people from the flyover states who aren’t afraid of their own shadow.  People under fire weren’t cowards and did not leave Trump’s side when, at that time, they had to assume he was killed.  Elon Musk was watching from afar and had the same reaction that everyone else did once Trump stood up and pumped his fist to the sky, saying fight, fight, fight with blood running down his face in defiance of the killer’s intentions.  That is the American spirit, and it was at that moment, Elon Musk decided to endorse President Trump, which was something I didn’t think would ever happen.  Given that Musk is a Democrat and had been trending toward Republicans over the last few years, supporting Ron DeSantis early in the process.  Trump’s courage under fire and real danger inspired Musk and many others to join the effort to reelect the president, which was a story that Musk retold while on stage to a captivated audience. 

But knowing what happened the first time, why would people want to come back and stand in line for more than 24 hours only to hear the same speech repeatedly?  Why would people even want to risk their lives to attend an outside rally where there are people who want to kill Trump, and they might be killed themselves in the process?  This was like having people return to the Kennedy assassination after it had happened and give a motivational speech about America from the spot of the killing.  What would provoke people to want to do such a thing?  Most people, including conservative commentators, had no idea how to answer that question.  Yet the rally had people there, many more than the previous time in July, as far as the eye could see.  People wanted to be there and tried to put danger on notice.  They were not going to be afraid.  They wanted to support Trump, be near him, and be a part of history, which was a magnificent occasion after all that has happened over the last several years.  The event was live-streamed to over 5 million people on social media, but millions would see it and witness a unique historical event in the days that followed.  The plans for America’s demise were failing, and people could feel it in the air. They wanted to play their part in recapturing our country from the clutches of vile globalism.  It was more of a military occasion without the bullets flying toward an enemy, but the impression was the same.  If global communism ruled with fear, these people defied that intention by attending and participating in that rally. 

However, Trump understood that he had brought something new to his typical rally format before the rally started.  He invited the noted tenor Christopher Macchio to perform before and after the speech in a display that I thought was jaw-dropping audacious.  And for Trump to flex that celebrity muscle then was ominously bold.  Macchio has performed for Trump before, most recently at the RNC event in Wisconsin, but again at the White House.  However, for Macchio to perform at the Butler, Pennsylvania Trump rally was a touch of class that could only come from the Trump Organization as a statement.  It was a statement that wasn’t needed, yet Macchio brought opera to a culture that doesn’t usually get exposed to that kind of thing.  And Macchio performed several songs after the rally; once the typical YMCA song ended with Trump dancing on stage, Christopher sang “Nessun Dorma,” “How Great Thou Art,” and “Hallelujah” to a stunned crowd.  I was stunned.  I thought it was incredibly classy and bold.  Obviously, like Musk, this very talented and rare individual and a top New York celebrity was full-throated in support of Trump.  Christopher Macchio was jumping around on stage in his own way with a compelling performance that was cheerleading Americans in the ways of the Power of Positive Thinking to overcome years of massive tragedy and to restore America to health in ways that people are just now coming to understand.  That was essentially what Trump was offering with this rally: not just returning to the spot to overcome the attempted fear but also overcoming it and overwhelming it by laughing at danger, even dancing on top of it.  But boldly, we continue our triumph over evil the way only opera as an art form could even be conceived.  Yet there it was, and now the MAGA movement had a soundtrack to march to, to take back our country from those who have been stealing it away for a long time.  Now, there was music to give life to the movement captured so wonderfully by Christopher Macchio.  And the world will never be the same.

A DARPA Weapon Hitting Trump Zones: Would the government want to kill innocent people–the evidence says yes

I’ve seen what a category 3 or 4 hurricane can do inland, a hundred miles or so from where they hit. One of my many job experiences was working as a clean-up person when Hurricane Fran destroyed Wilmington, North Carolina. I flew into Raleigh, Durham, and the University of North Carolina to clean everything up.  I personally love Tampa Bay.  I love the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the city quite a lot.  My wife and I have great memories there.  And a direct hit by a hurricane like what Hurricane Milton is poising to do is just terrible.  Now, I’m not typically skeptical of hurricanes.  But I am of this one, Milton.  The way it went from an obscure tropical storm in the Gulf of Mexico and quickly jumped up to a category 5 in a very short time to travel east from a west position is highly unusual and has prompted a lot of people to wonder if this particular hurricane, as well as the previous one that just hit Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and Tennessee, is a DARPA weapon, I have to reply that I think there is a lot of evidence to that suspicion.  Our first act is to investigate the DARPA program and see if we don’t have there, as we have discovered at the head of the FBI, a lot of anti-Trump activists who have their hands on such a terrible weapon and would use it to punish people they know will be Trump voters.  There would be no greater election tampering than to frustrate potential voters and completely wipe out their infrastructure and their homes in general.  And that is what looks to be happening in Tampa.  Kamala Harris will not do well along the coast of Florida; those are Trump voters.  And three weeks before the election, they will be wiped out.  I’ve seen too much in life to think that these are all coincidences. 

So, let’s prioritize answering the first question. With cloud seeding technology, could DARPA or some other scandalous government enterprise create hurricanes to level 5? I would say yes.  Hurricanes traditionally come from the coast of Africa and, under certain conditions, form hurricanes just as they have for thousands of years.  But maybe over the last 20 years, especially the last 10, plenty of technology could agitate those hurricane conditions when they are forming under human control of their growth.  It takes a lot of energy to make a hurricane, but if you’ve ever made a whirlpool in an above-ground circular pool, you have seen how manipulating the flow of the water quickly can multiply the force into a massive effort.  By heating elements of the upper atmosphere where hurricane conditions are close, warm water in the gulf and cool nights in the atmosphere, hurricane conditions should be able to be manufactured with a push by human hands.  To me, this one, Milton, looks like the election fraud of 2020.  It was made by desperate people motivated by politics to punish an area that is poised to vote for Trump ahead of an election that is quickly getting away from Kamala Harris.  If you study the weather for an extended period, these two hurricanes that have hit so close to each other in Florida look politically motivated and not a natural disaster.  But how can we say such a thing?  The evidence says we should consider such a terrible thing a reality.  And by the way, the government reacted to Hurricane Helena destroying so much Trump country and wiping out Ashville, North Carolina, with the complete lack of FEMA support, something very fishy has been emerging. 

It sounds like science fiction, but we must be cautious of a government that builds technology under a cloak of secrecy and then uses it to drive political motivations.  And I’m not talking about hurricanes now; I’m referring to COVID-19, created in a lab in Wuhan, China, for a bioweapon made for globalism and unleashed in an election year to impact global politics.  We know that was the case because the evidence has been uncovered, and people are still trying to wrap their minds around such an evil intention.  Could people work in our government, at the DOD precisely, and with Dr. Fauci knowing all about it and Bill Gates being involved who wants a zero energy world, would they kill people with a purposeful bioweapon?  And the answer is yes.  They did.  COVID-19 is a case that still needs to be prosecuted for what many people did to purposefully kill people for political reasons of control over mass populations.  Most of the people involved are radical communists, socialists, and American globalists trying to tip the scales of the economy toward a Great Reset by the World Economic Forum, governed by the United Nations.  And while that might sound like the plot of some menace from Atlas Shrugged or the main villain in the first Star Wars movie, it’s a real thing that was so vastly evil that it has remained hidden from people who can’t imagine anybody being that terrible.  But that is part of the disguise.  The only reason that Covid has not yet been prosecuted is because people just can’t imagine that humans could make such a thing to kill other humans.  And that any part of a government would be that malicious. 

But then you see how the government reacted with FEMA in a known Bible Belt town of west North Carolina, Georgia, and Tennessee where the people are Trump-supporting Appolacians.  FEMA didn’t rush to rescue anybody when hit by a devastating hurricane.  And Kamala Harris was slow to make a campaign stop, which was bizarre behavior for a state she supposedly wants to win.  We saw from the Biden administration a strange disconnect on one of the most devastating tragedies in modern times.  And the government was happy to let people rot without services for maximum impact.  And then things start adding up.  And on the heels of all that, another hurricane was brewed up in the Gulf and sent to one of the country’s most populated and economically prosperous areas, Tampa Bay, Disney World in Orlando, and the space coast between Cocoa Beach and Daytona Beach.  So when asked if I think DARPA could be behind these hurricanes, I think it’s very possible.  We certainly know that the intent to harm Trump regions is there and that radicals in government with their hands on such weapons, as with Covid, will use those weapons for political reasons if they kill a lot of people and cause billions of dollars in damages.  They certainly didn’t care. When COVID was unleashed, the global economy was shut down, and millions of people died from the gain of function virus that was made to transmit from animals to humans artificially.  The same could be said of hurricanes; they exist but can be tampered with to be made worse and to act purposefully rather than randomly.  And that these devastating occurrences are more than accidental.  They are purposeful and yet more evidence of a government that has become weaponized and dangerous.  This Hurricane Milton is, for many, a loss much more significant than the damage it will do.  It has irreparably damaged people’s trust in these fields of science, which are only exacerbated by the vast disappointments left in the wake of COVID-19.  But that is what we are dealing with in these people.  These are truly evil people, and they cannot have access to these kinds of weapons.  Because they are in political turmoil, they will use them to attempt to change the world or punish those standing in their way.  And no matter what damage it causes, they don’t care.  And before we do any cleanup in Florida in the wake of these storms, we should investigate DARPA and their affiliates for whatever actions were taken ahead of these storms and deal with the true menace as the root cause.

The FAA Has Held Up SpaceX Too Long: Government is holding the human race back from going to Mars

Just a little memo for everyone out there, especially those who thought compliance with government authority was going to be the future trend, they were wrong.  I’ve listened to complete idiots tell me for more than two decades now that compliance with government authority was only going to increase year by year, and I have argued with them to the contrary.  COVID destroyed people’s tolerance for government pinheads forever.  Government power had been abused, and people were finally pushed too far.  And that’s why Elon Musk was on stage with President Trump in Pennsylvania, cheerleading on a Republican administration that promises to cut down on government red tape dramatically.  Musk is not a Republican or a conservative.  However, the FAA process denying him approved applications for his next space flights for Starship 5 has pushed him into Trump’s corner.  Just as they have with many Democrats who have now crossed over and joined supporting Trump, a common theme has emerged.  The government has become too big and has all the wrong values, and people are tired of interrupting their lives needlessly.  That is certainly the case with Elon Musk, who has to file a lot of permits for the launch of each of his Starships which he is working through his company, SpaceX, to prove the landing of the largest vehicle to ever enter space and return to earth.  What the Starship 5 mission proves to do is re-land the Super Heavy Booster rocket back at Boca Chica with their chopstick system.  From there, refueling and reentry into space will become a common occurrence.  But first, SpaceX has to stick the landing of the Superheavy rocket to prove the whole capture system works.  So, there is a lot of urgency to increase the innovation rate to meet the missions’ needs because Starship is a key to NASA’s programs of returning to the moon, and this application process with the government is holding everything up needlessly. 

To make matters worse, and to my point, you can’t put the heads of lazy people in compliance authority to the genuinely heroic efforts of manufacturing.  It was never a math problem that would work, and Elon Musk has tried to play nice his whole life.  And the Federal Aviation Association did pretty well with SpaceX until the second part of 2024 when Elon Musk formally endorsed Trump for president.  Two iconic photos tell the complete story of the 2024 election cycle and precisely, this problem.  The first is the attempted assassination of President Trump, where he is pumping his fist in the air with blood running down his face after just being shot in the head.  Within moments of that picture hitting the public, Elon Musk formally endorsed President Trump for president, stepping away from years of supporting Democrats such as Joe Biden and Barack Obama.  Elon Musk is hardly a conservative.  But then again, neither is President Trump traditionally.  But what they all have in common is the difficulty in dealing with government bureaucracy where entire groups of worthless people get mall cop authority over the titans of industry with the stroke of a pen.  From there, the FAA stopped approving Musk’s applications for SpaceX flights, as if to punish him for supporting President Trump in any fashion.  It all essentially started with that photo of Trump right after the assassination attempt, which has backfired massively in the intention of getting rid of Trump.  Instead, it solidified him into the world’s consciousness in ways no political campaign could have done otherwise. 

The other photo to come out of all this is when Trump returned to Butler, Pennsylvania, to finish what he started, which was interrupted by that assassination attempt.  This time, Elon Musk came on stage to speak on behalf of President Trump.   And Trump was in the picture standing at the podium calm and resolute, in the same spot where an assassin’s bullet had narrowly missed him just a few months earlier.  And there he was, standing boldly to the possibility of death.  Elon Musk, the wealthiest man in the world and one of the smartest who has declared himself to the task of carrying human civilization to space to colonize other planets, was jumping around on the stage like a little kid, excited about being there.  The picture that was instantly famous is of Musk jumping in the air with joy at the prospect of Trump winning and deregulating his industry to the point where it has crippled his efforts in a way government pinheads only can.  The joy is evident on Elon Musk’s face, the empowerment of taking back the government from the hands of the truly terrible, the people who are worthless in life and have only defined themselves as demanding that good people adhere to some government mob. Otherwise, punishment will follow.  If you look across the world, especially across the regulatory industry, this communist push to make centralized government appeased has gone too far.  And now there was proof that even the friendly and compliant Elon Musk would be punished if he didn’t support the tyrannical mob in government to the point that they would stonewall the permit process for his life’s work.  That is why you can never give the government too much power over you; they always abuse it.

We’re not talking about making the world unsafe.  There will always be a need for the government to provide some regulatory bumpers to hazardous conduct.  However, the lesson everyone has had to learn is that capitalist practices are a far better regulator than government pinheads.  Market conditions are far more potent because failure has a more significant impact than some regulatory committees.  The case of the FAA holding up the next Starship flight has to do with concerns over the water system used for fire suppression having an environmental impact on the local wildlife.  People have had it with this EPA argument.  The earth serves humanity’s needs, not limit them to appeasement like a bunch of primitives sitting around a campfire throwing sticks at every noise in the dark.  And that is what the government has been offering with its ridiculous rules centered around EPA concerns, which has just turned out to be a cover story for outright communism.  And the mob mentality of the government these days who put their political opponents in jail and deny permits as punishment to those who don’t support them politically.  Over the last four years, Biden has pushed too far and tyrannically, and his relationship with a former supporter, Elon Musk, has shattered.  Musk was so happy about the revelation that he was glad to be on stage with Trump and put his entire support behind electing the President back into office so that he could get his company, SpaceX, moving again and not sitting around like a bunch of idiots waiting for the FAA to approve their launch application.  If the permit process for these launches takes more than a few hours, it’s too long.  And that holds in every industry.  More compliance to senseless mobs of government power is not the wave of the future—quite the opposite.  When Trump wins, he will put Musk in charge of improving the government’s work, including the ridiculous permit process holding SpaceX back.  Elon Musk will finally be able to solve that problem directly.  And he is jumping for joy, literally.  And who will there be to blame in the end, the government that pushed too much and too far to advance tyranny and compliance to a bunch of worthless people who should have never been part of the process, to begin with?  They will only be able to blame themselves for what they did.

‘The Art of Survival’: Winning as Americans

After the last election, I knew that people were scared and needed a voice through the darkness.  And I can write and talk even under the worst circumstances.  So, every day since that stolen election in 2020, where Biden was inserted to push out Trump with an obviously government-sponsored coup, I have written an article every day and filmed a video to go with them, and many millions of people have directly benefited.  If you have been paying attention, if you listen to a lot of talk radio on AM stations all over the country, podcasts, and cable news segments, it’s pretty normal for them to pluck ideas off my blog postings, which many influencers watch every day.  They need content, too.  I have been writing these blogs for many years, and I have put up an article every day, now for over 14 years, since 2010.  It was so successful that since about 2014, I just stopped doing personal interviews as a guest on radio and television; I just put my energy into being a content creator with my eye on providing a voice of reason to producers looking to fill airwaves with material that could help America get going again because the bad guys out there were playing for blood.  I thought about quitting the daily articles a few times during Trump’s first term.  But after he was removed from office, I doubled down to do everything I could in the background to keep the roots of our republic healthy because people, even the strongest people, have needed it.  But now that it’s coming to an end, now what?  I’m not sure, but I aim to do everything I can to help win this election, especially for Trump.  So, I have been reminiscing a lot lately and going back through all the Trump books I have read over the years, which inspired me to support Trump in the first place.  As I was watching Trump return to Butler, Pennsylvania, for a rally after the assassination attempt was applied to him there, I kept thinking of a much more little-known book of his called The Art of Survival, which is one of my favorites.  And I think many of you would enjoy it right now.  Because America is about to knock out its rivals, foreign and domestic, and a new day is dawning for us, it’s important that everyone understand what’s happening.

When The Art of the Deal happened, Trump was at the top of his industry, a very successful businessman, and he had crossed over to become one of the biggest celebrities in the world.  However, the wheels came off shortly after that book published in 1987.  After Reagan left office, the economy tanked.  I was so mad at George Bush Sr. as a 19-year-old kid that I began a crusade looking for a replacement, putting me in the Ross Perot house with his daughters on adventures that would fill several books themselves.  Along the way, I met people like Rob Portman, who I set up on a big town hall debate on WLW radio that helped him win his first congressional seat.  I did many other things to help, too, which could be an entire book of success similar to Trump’s writing about his life experiences.  But during this period, the wheels came off in life for many people.  Me included.  Trump lost his first wife, he lost several businesses, and he was looking like he was going to be bankrupt and broke for the rest of his life.  Later, in 1997, he wrote The Art of the Comeback, which I have said is the playbook for this second Trump term and an essential book that describes how he went from being many millions of dollars in debt, much poorer than a typical homeless person, and climbed back on top to become one of the world’s wealthiest people.  There was a book called The Art of Survival that was infinitely fascinating, and I saw that attitude fresh and again on the stage at that Butler Rally, and with the musical contributions of Christopher Macchio, which were just jaw-dropping fantastic.  Stunning!

Trump didn’t need to write another book or open a door to his personal life while everything was falling around him during this period.  But The Art of Survival is such a marvelous book about perseverance that even in his darkest hour, he wanted to help people pull themselves up when they were down and be better people.  It inspired me during that period to keep fighting, and fighting, and fighting, which I have always done in my life, too, including writing these articles every day, even when I don’t feel like it.  Because I see the hits I get on all this stuff, and hundreds of thousands of people per week consume my material daily.  And over a month, millions.  That’s a lot of people looking for a light in the dark.  And Trump always felt responsible for being that cheerful voice, even when it wasn’t good for him.  You can make some money with books, but not a lot.  So he didn’t write that Art of Survival for himself; he wrote it for people who look to him for leadership. 

Essentially, The Art of Survival is a lesson on why “The Eye of the Tiger” from Rocky III is an essential song for the American consciousness.  One of the prominent features in that book that was devastating for Trump was the fight of Mike Tyson losing to Buster Douglas.  It was devastating to Trump, who was getting into the business of promoting the young Tyson as he looked to be invincible.  And now he was a loser, and it hurt Trump.  I would say that out of everything that was happening badly to Trump during this period, Mike Tyson’s loss to Buster Douglas was the worst because of the psychology involved in winners becoming losers.  But Tyson would fight again and win most of his fights.  Trump would claw himself back from devastation and marry one of the most beautiful women in the world, and they would live a good life in a golden palace overlooking Central Park in New York.  Trump would become more successful than he achieved in the 80s under President Reagan.  As an older man who had seen the worst that the world could throw at him many times over by a powerful and corrupt government to keep him from running for president once again, he was there in Butler, Pennsylvania, as a champion of the world, and he was spiking the football in a much-deserved way.  That power of positive thinking caught the ear of the wealthiest person in the world, Elon Musk, who was excited and very boyish in his enthusiasm for supporting a second Trump term.  And I thought of that book.  If you can get a copy, you might want to read it because we live in an exciting moment in history, and I think you will find in The Art of Survival the critical ingredient for what comes next, and we will all enjoy it quite a lot.

6 Out of 10 Employers Want to Fire Their Gen Z Employees: If you want good productivity, you have to think out of the box

I wouldn’t just say I love foreign people from other places; I don’t think that tells the whole story.  I love people who like to work hard.  I work hard; I always have.  I love good work and people who want to do it.  I don’t care what their skin color is or their sex; if they like hard work, I will likely have something in common with them.  Even political differences aren’t so different if I feel the person I am talking to is a hard worker.  It just so happens that people from other places work harder than Americans.  And this isn’t something recent for me.  My kids are from the Gen Z generation, and I was so upset about their dating choices when they were teenagers that I encouraged them to date boys from places that still worked hard.  To me, it is reprehensible to be lazy.  I hate lazy people.  But I love hard-working, polite people, and that is how my oldest daughter managed to marry a young man from Canterberry, England.  Going to their house in Liberty Township these days is a real pleasure for me because I get to see the benefits of a couple of people who work hard together.  The results are obvious.  But to say the least, I understand what 6 out of 10 employers say when they indicate they would like to fire their Gen Z employees because they are too lazy and pretentious.  If we want to Make America Great Again, we must start by making Americans want to work again.  Because for many reasons, especially Gen Z, they have been poisoned as children into growing up and becoming problematic as employees.  And so much so that they threaten our current national security.

Not that all Gen Z types are wrong, but most of them are victims of a terrible public education system and college experience that was not academically inclined.  Most education produced in the United States these days has been infected with radical leftist politics.  That doesn’t mean that kids will all be corrupted.  If a kid comes from a good family, that might mitigate some of the impact.  But for children from broken homes or homes where the parents are just stupid, many of the kids from the Gen Z generation don’t have a chance.  I watched this problem start brewing while my kids were growing up.  Now, my wife and I were fantastic parents.  Kids always find something to complain about, but to a large degree, we kept the infection of social conformity from ruining their minds while they were growing up.  They turned out to be pretty good kids with sharp minds and intellect.  But it has been challenging for them to deal with other people from their generation who are just too lazy and pretentious to have a decent relationship.  It’s not just about dating and marrying different people but about having basic social interactions.  Gen Z, in my eyes, are the poor victims of a global menace rooted in globalism that intentionally poisoned American youth in detrimental ways to cripple our economic engine.  Like many things I have been pointing out going into 2025, every kind of attack that could be imagined upon the intellect of the average American youth has been let loose, and their poor, miserable lives show it for the sad tragedy that it is. 

My advice to the employers out there who are looking for labor for their enterprises is that you can find Gen Z employees who will do a good job.  But don’t just look in their direction.  I would say that many of the foreign immigrants who are legally trying to be a part of the American way of life will do a far better job than the kids coming out of American high schools and colleges these days.  It’s not about cheap labor that foreign employees have the most significant benefit.  If everyone is paid the same and fairly, the foreign employees, compared to the domestic ones, will far outperform expectations.  That is because foreign employees usually have a better family structure behind them, which leads to healthy living.  When people know family members love them, they tend to be less insecure in their relationships, even with co-workers.  So, when hiring new workers, one qualifying characteristic is family life.  If a potential employee can at least have a healthy family relationship, they are inclined to work well with a team of co-workers.  Gen Z in America were trained to grow up and be political weapons.  They were taught to be activists toward leftist, communist causes, like climate change, or to rally against toxic masculinity, and to toss young women into sexual deviancy to destroy their ability to raise proper American families.  I had several people this week ask me why I like to work with so many people from all over the world, and my reply to them was that they reminded me of the work ethic my grandparents had.  But I have very little personal respect for the slack-jawed losers of the subsequent generations, including the baby boomers from my parent’s generation.  The mess started with them.  But Gen Z is just ridiculous.

No wonder our federal government costs so much; they hire anybody with a pulse and turn them loose with high-cost burdens to do very little work.  And that trend is why so many employers are looking to dump their Gen Z employees wherever possible and replace them with automation.  I’ve worked with many Gen Z kids over the years, and out of every 100, I can usually get two or three of them to do good in the world.  The rest are just disasters.  It’s not like I haven’t tried, but if people don’t have the basics, a stable family life with parents and grandparents who have set them with a proper foundation of thought, the chances at success in life are scarce for anybody, especially Gen Z that has had just about everything placed against them from the start.  Bad families, horrible education, detrimental entertainment options, terrible diet, faulty philosophy, and confusing religious assumptions, everything about Gen Z has political radicalism in it, so to grow up to be helpful in anything is a far cry.  That doesn’t mean that we should stop trying with these kids.  I certainly do.  But 98 times out of 100, you will be disappointed by the results.  To cover what you need, we will have to look to people from other places where the foundations of family are much better.  When I travel to Japan, I am constantly reminded that success starts with the family structure.  They love their kids in Japan much better than in the United States or Europe.  And much of that comes from radical left politics that has sought in America to destroy the family structure for military reasons.  So, there is no quick fix to it.  Japan is largely successful because it raises children in somewhat healthy family structures.  And success follows those types of people accordingly.  But you can’t, as an employer, hire some slug from Gen Z and expect productivity to be good.  If you want good things to happen in your companies, you must hire good people; Gen Z doesn’t have them.  Maybe the next generation who grew up in the Trump years will be better.  But as of now, it’s not a surprise that so many employers are disappointed with the Gen Z generation and are trying to figure out how to get decent employees from them.  And to tell the truth, if you want good employees, you’ll have to think outside the box.  Because regarding Gen Z, what’s in the box is mostly garbage and frustration.

Why ‘The View’ Hates Melania Trump: Making American Great Again by making woman beautiful again

Typically, there are natural rules, and if you are a slack-jawed loser, you likely won’t have a good-looking woman on your arm at social engagements.  But women on The View are ordinary and easy to get and they tend to get the lazy, useless men who don’t put a lot into their efforts. Most always loser men have an ugly woman like Whoopi Goldberg or Joy Behar as wives, which is why they are all so angry all the time.  Ugly women do not get the same advantages in life, the same access to high-quality, attractive men.  So secretly, deep down inside, the hatred of Melania Trump for marrying President Trump back when he was just a very successful real estate mogul is due purely to looks and physical appearance.  And you can hear that hatred in the voices of the people who talk about Melania Trump.  But it’s not Melania’s fault that she is beautiful or that she was a successful fashion model well before she ever met Donald Trump.  It doesn’t matter about the superficial elements of a marriage, where someone like Donald Trump wanted a beautiful woman to hang on his arm to show sexual domination over rival males; it is just a fact of life.  Nor did it matter that Melania offered herself up in such a fashion so that she could live in a golden palace overlooking Central Park in New York.  Watching Donald and Melania Trump over the years, and meeting them a few times, I have watched them grow together in ways that long marriages tend to, where personal looks and sexuality become much less important over time.  Initially, however, it is everything in life. Successful men need to let rivals know of their sexual prowess by being seen in public with the best-looking women. It is up to the most beautiful women to force a society of degenerate males to step up their game and be the best version of themselves that they can be so that a gorgeous woman might give them the time of day. Attractive women have and always will make the world a better place by making men perform better to live in it.

But Melania Trump is more than just another pretty face.  She is a classy and sophisticated woman too, someone who has deep thoughts about things and for brain-dead slugs who look like used-up toilet paper, like the women who are typically on The View, or as I say about school levy supporters who are much the same, and whom I say often have asses the size of car tires and diamond rings to match as Latte Sipping Prostitutes, ugly people tend to turn toward socialism to try to use powerful central governments to make the world more fair and much less competitive because the last thing they want is to be in a room and have someone like Melania Trump come into it and steal away their husbands, which is as good as they are ever going to get.  But once Melania Trump opens her mouth and starts talking in one of her five languages, any hopes of competition with her fly out the window, so all these other women over the last several years since Trump was in office picked on Melania relentlessly out of frustration because they can’t compete with her on any front. Intelligent women are just too much for women who are short on resources, and let’s face it, that’s most of the human population.  It’s not fair to Melania to have been treated as she has just because she’s beautiful.  But changing the way the human race deals with each other won’t be altered overnight.  It will take many thousands of additional years, and likely the ability to become multi-planetary, where fundamental values about success and sexual customs change over time.

When you think of beautiful women, not all are criticized on The View.  Heidi Klum is an interesting case because she is also a former supermodel, even more successful than Melania.  But she is very popular with other women, so why is that?  Well, Heidi takes her clothes off a lot as one of the hosts of America’s Got Talent, but she doesn’t do it in a sexy way; she does much of her nudity in a music festival mosh pit kind of way that makes all the derelicts of the world feel like she is downplaying her looks for their benefit.  And with all her beauty, she is married to a much younger man; the current guy is kind of a beta male guitarist who writes songs that lets other women know that Heidi isn’t looking to steal away their husbands because she is attached to a douchebag just like they are.  Not somebody who thinks his stuff doesn’t stink, who is very competitive like Trump, and puts his woman in a golden palace in New York society to live in or to reside in the summers in Mar-a-Lago.  Heidi Klum sells herself to the public as a typical party girl, and other women who have debased themselves over the years with public intoxication and various states of passed-out undress see her as one of the girls.  But Melania is their worst nightmare because instead of growing older and more compromised, Melania still has an outward projection of herself that has turned inward toward her privacy instead of letting down her guard to be one of the droopy slugs in life like Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar.

All this has come about because Melania Trump is becoming more present in President Trump’s campaign with the release of her new book, Melania.  She took a few years off to raise her son as a stay-at-home mom, which has ticked off the women of The View.  Again, I have very personal experience with this.  My mom was a stay-at-home mom and was deeply ridiculed by other women for it.  My wife’s whole life has been as a stay-at-home mom, and she experienced very harsh treatment from other women for her decisions to stay home and not be part of the feminist movement.  I have never put her in a position to commit herself to a boss and work outside the home.  And my two daughters have the same expectations and are currently stay-at-home moms.  They have their own businesses, but their lives center around their children as their primary focus.  Beyond looks, other women who are not as committed to their children or would like to be hate other women who are.  And when I say “hate,” I think there needs to be a stronger word.  So Melania, as a former supermodel married to a billionaire and having very high standards in life, who stayed home with her son to teach him the traditional way is detrimental to the life choices of below-the-line thinkers, who trend toward socialism as a management of the public.  But many people are reluctant to admit that the roles women have played in our society have been wrong, and they want Melania’s message.  This is coming about just in time to melt the faces of The View and the old Oprah crowd, and for all the right reasons.  It wasn’t so bad during Trump’s first term in office because Melania stayed quiet and to herself.  They made fun of her Christmas decorations in the White House, but otherwise, Melania stayed comfortably in the background.  But not this time.  This time, Melania is presenting herself purposefully in a much more public way, and in her own way, she is uncovering some deep, dark secrets looming in the background.  It’s about time to make America great again by starting with moms and beautiful women.  Nothing improves the actions of others, especially men, than a woman with high standards and the looks to sell it to a hungry public.  And other women know it, and this is precisely why they hate Melania Trump and any other beautiful women because of their personal choices and the states of their personal neglect.  In such a world, they can’t compete, and that is the root cause of most of their anger, which has been holding down our society needlessly.

The 400 Dumb Economists Against Trump: Destroying globalism and their wealth redistribution of looted American value is the top priority

I am happy to argue with any economist, especially the 400 or so who have come out against President Trump’s proposed tariffs on imported goods once he is in for another term of office, that they have no idea what they are discussing.  Or that their hatred of Trump’s tariffs is purely because it goes against their strategy of globalism, where the United Nations would control our managed economy.  Not the United States.  Just because 400 people say something, or even a thousand, it doesn’t change what something is.  And when they say that Trump’s tariff policy will destroy the American economy the first time around and in the future, some context is required to understand what they are saying.  Economics was one of my majors in college.   So was philosophy, and while in college, I thought both were disastrously stupid wastes of time.  I went to college knowing way too much for my good.  I had a very unconventional education up to that point, so it was easy to see what was happening.  Mostly because different kinds of people study economics and philosophy, it was easy for this globalist ruse to be concealed because nobody knew one from the other in their social circles.  But it was obvious to me that Marxism was written into the economic books even as far back as the late eighties when I was in college.  And I knew that because that’s all they taught in philosophy class.  For me, it started with a study of Eastern philosophy, which was meant to open the door to the Chinese way of thinking about the world, and of course, they were outright communists.  So once everyone was taught in college how smart the Chinese were, then students who didn’t know any better would adopt communism as their mode of managing people and, of course, economic activity. 

Western philosophy, starting with the Greeks, was rationalized into failure by discussing empire building, starting with Alexander the Great, and then studying the Decline of the West as Spengler proposed.  So I frustrated the professors of these classes infinitely because I had already read all these books before I ever stepped into their classrooms and had figured out what was going on even then.  And I recognized what was happening with the transition of the Reagan economy and the one George Bush was proposing when he talked about a “New World Order.”  There was money to be made in globalism, and by essentially robbing the capitalist economy of America and redistributing that wealth to other countries that were choking on their following of Marxism, which was detrimental to their economies.  Many people would make a lot of money off stealing American wealth and redistributing it to countries that didn’t have much of an economy, and that is how the communist government of China became such an economic powerhouse.  But it’s also why a country with over a billion people still struggles economically with the United States, which has only a fraction of that number producing goods and services.  The reason that America had so much money was capitalism.  The political left then, as they are now, was very committed to destroying the concept of capitalism so that globalism could occur and wealth would then be managed by a Marxist-oriented government in the United Nations.  Now, let’s fast forward to our present time and note that the head of the United Nations today is Antonio Guterres, who is an outright socialist.  So, things have been moving in that trajectory of thought for many years.  Rob the wealth of America and give it to the rest of the world through wealth redistribution run by Marxist, socialist, and communist governments orchestrated by the United Nations, with the World Economic Forum setting policy in the background.

When Mitch McConnell says that he is critical of Trump’s tariffs and supports “free trade” policies, he is essentially saying that he defines free trade as the looting of American wealth without any defense.  He’s speaking for his father-in-law’s shipping company, which is set up in China and is the source of much of his family’s wealth.  When you have Republicans like him, who needs Democrats?  But don’t forget, just because authorities don’t want to investigate the origins of the COVID-19 virus in Wuhan, China, doesn’t mean that they have a valid reason for it.  Don’t ask the investigators to investigate themselves.  They know as everyone does now, that Covid was a bioweapon constructed to destroy cultures with health regulations, and they were looking to bring down Western civilization with it.  During an election year in the United States, right after Trump clamped down on the trade tariffs against China, COVID-19 was released from China and spread aggressively into the United States.  China never locked down the way the rest of the world did, and they were pretty arrogant about it.  They convinced us to shut down our entire economy while they did very little because they knew the nature of the virus and why it existed in the first place.  And likely the most apparent straw that broke their back was Trump’s tariffs.  They needed to get him out of office so the trade imbalance between China and America would stay in the favorable category toward them, the looting of American wealth and redistributing it into the communist country of China.  It was Globalism 101, taught in the college classes I attended in the late 80s and early 90s.  And it was always an overt attack against America for the ultimately planned destruction of capitalism in general.

So when Kamala Harris says that 400 economists are against Trump’s tariffs against other countries to set things right in the United States, I would happily argue with all of them about how wrong they are.  Just because there are many of them doesn’t mean they are right.  The most valuable thing I learned in college was that most people are wrong.  Just because many people think something, it only means that they were taught all the wrong stuff.  And it only takes one person to set things straight.  But because of my background, there isn’t a single person in the world who can argue with me about the economy.  And Trump gets it; his tariffs are meant to reverse the destructive effect of trade imbalances with America and will restore sovereign wealth to everyone within the borders of the United States of America.  Globalism will fail dramatically because the Marxist minds running the idea must steal American wealth and destroy capitalism as a concept so they can rebuild America under the United Nations with a centralized digital currency they control from Davos or Geneva.  So those against Trump’s tariffs are those working against capitalism, which is essentially free trade driven by market conditions, not centralized socialist governments.  Those in America speaking out against Trump’s tariffs are looking to profit off the planned demise of America by skimming away wealth as a broker to redistribute it in the process.  When pressed, most people will say that they read Spengler’s book and were planning accordingly.  But Spengler’s Decline of the West was wishful thinking, not capitalist reality.  And they now fear what Trump is saying, and they will cry and scream about the tariffs against other countries.  However, it would be great for America if Trump put his tariffs in place quickly and aggressively; it’s not the American economy that would be destroyed.  Trump’s tariffs will destroy globalism and Marxism and put the value of American capitalism on the world’s stage in ways they have always feared.  And it will be great for the world.

‘The Art of the Deal’: Trump’s magnificant historical significance

With Trump about to re-enter the White House, after all that he has been through, and all of us, I am thinking about the road that brought us all here quite a lot lately.  A lot of it feels providential.  Especially when I think back on the many books that Trump wrote that were self-help in nature.  And if the question had to be answered as to why Donald Trump wants to be president, I think he told himself and everyone else the answer to that question in his very first book and his most famous, The Art of the Deal.  That is a book that I love a lot, and I have read it many times over the years.  The copy I have in the video is one I bought in 2015 when he was running for president, and I’d carry it around with me in case I had a chance to get him to sign it, which I had an opportunity to do at least twice.  In 2015, it wasn’t so hard to get access to him.  It was nearly impossible after he became president.  But in 2015, when nobody, including most area Republicans, thought he had a snowball’s chance, I was one of his early cheerleaders. I was heavily involved in his early rallies, especially at the Savannah Center in West Chester, Ohio.  Then again, I was at the Sharonville Convention Center, where I was given VIP access to that event.  But I’m never that guy who worships celebrities.  Later, I would learn my lesson on being so discreet with Vivek Ramaswamy and J.D. Vance on getting my books signed.  If I get another chance, I’ll have Trump sign my current copy of The Art of the Deal because of its enormous historical significance.  I read a lot, and my grandchildren, my great-grandchildren, and their children will most likely remember me for my books and love of reading as they go through my things over the next hundred years; I think some of these signatures will be important to them.  Perhaps inspire them to reach their own levels of greatness by example.  And President Trump’s signature on anything will say a lot about this current age. 

The Art of the Deal is a book I have loaned out to many people over the years who have asked to borrow it.  I have an extensive collection of books that have always been the ones people ask me to read.  But it’s also the book they are least likely to bring back.  The 2015 edition was released after Trump left The Apprentice and launched his presidential campaign.  But since then, publishers and media companies have been trying to pull Trump’s books off the market by not replacing the ones out there so they can pretend that one of the most well-known celebrities in the world doesn’t exist.  But with that one, I didn’t complain much; I would buy another one after people didn’t bring it back because I felt that more of those books floating around out there were good for the country.  This is, of course, before Trump was president and why I was an early supporter.  I first read The Art of the Deal when it came out and was on the top of the charts at number one in the fall of 1987, which was an extraordinary time for me.  It was my first year out of high school; I was engaged to my wife and trying to find ways that I could bring success to our family.  Trump was the hottest ticket in the world toward self-help success and the embodiment of achievement during Reaganomics.  My wife and I would spend most of our evenings at her parent’s house, and they were very successful.  So there was a lot of pressure on me by the nature of expectation so I had to learn a lot, fast.

We were planning a fancy wedding at the Beckett Ridge Country Club, where they were members.  There was more going on here than just kindness.  My wife was a fashion model at the time, and she was being groomed for New York society in that industry, and I was in the way of that.  So, the expectations for me were very high, so I would sit each night and read many books about success and how to get it because that was the world I was stepping into to have a wife like that.  Trump had some wise words based on his personal experience.  Out of all the books on success and finance, I read that year under those conditions, it was The Art of the Deal that most spoke to me and gave me the impression that it would be an essential book someday, even beyond the measure of a New York Times bestseller.  As I read the book, I thought this guy would be a good next president.  The Reagan years were ending, and George Bush offered to continue the goodwill.  But I was suspicious.  It would take someone with a lot of energy who loved talking to people and making deals who would need to continue Reagan’s excellent work.  That line of thinking would later encourage me to step away from Bush and the other Republicans at the time and go on quite a young adventure with Ross Perot and his daughters down in Texas, but that’s a whole story of its own. 

What is most evident in The Art of the Deal is that Trump is doing all this running-for-president stuff for more than revenge after all that has been done to him.  He is one of the most positive people functioning in the world today, and he has a unique sense of business and communication that few people ever master, and he loves bringing people together.  He likes people a lot more than I do.  He enjoys making deals, so The Art of the Deal was an important book.  Before Trump came along, I didn’t know that any successful people enjoyed making deals like Trump did.  As President of the United States, he would get a chance every day to have the life he talked about at the beginning of that now-famous book.  Trump is happiest when every minute of every day is filled with talking to people and helping them succeed.  And making deals with people doesn’t mean screwing them over, but finding mutual benefits in working together that they might not see themselves.  And that Trump could invent that role for himself lent directly to this idea that he would be a great president.  And as the years would tell, he was.  And now he’s poised to do it again.  And if I had to do it again, I don’t have many regrets, but the times that I met Trump, I just stood there cooly, not getting wrapped up in his celebrity; in the context of history, I’d get him to sign The Art of the Deal for me.  It’s been a long history, and the significance of that book can’t be underestimated, especially in the context of this second term.  I think I do love President Trump.  I don’t feel that way about many people in the world, and my support of him started with that book many years ago.  Ross Perot was the next best thing for me in those early years, which began with The Art of the Deal and my need to be successful in life because I was expected to be successful because of the person I married.  But more than all that, The Art of the Deal was an insight into the future before the rest of the world realized how important it would be and how the future of all human civilization has formed around it uniquely.  And it’s been a journey I have enjoyed being a part of.
