Australia’s Dumb New Law: Right to Disconnect

In the spirit of Labor Day, which is the holiday I hate the most, we need to have a talk about the ridiculously dumb Australian law, Right to Disconnect which they just passed there at the end of August 2024.  The world needs to be working more, not less.  And this socialist trend of encouraging people to sit around looking at the walls all day is a terribly destructive one.  The world doesn’t need more dumb laws like this one that enables the world to be lazier.  Labor Day, to me, is essentially a celebration of laziness, a union concept of work stoppages holding productivity hostage unless management recognizes the workers’ limits to performing tasks.  It is poison to the human race to think such things, and at the core of all these ridiculous laws are horrible people fighting for the right to be unproductive. Instead, I think we need to be going in the opposite direction.  We need to work harder and more often.  We need to extend our work day hours and work more days of the week than we do now because productive enterprise is very much needed.  Additionally, I think our five-day workweek is ridiculously short.  And I think people should work more than 8 hours per day.  I have always worked more than 8 hours per day.  I often work seven days a week, so let me say I am a happy person.  Leaving work undone is what makes me unhappy.  So, I can’t imagine a happy world restricting itself in productivity.  It’s the wrong message, and anybody suggesting such a lazy life should be ridiculed.  The Australians proposing this Marxist trend of disconnecting from work to produce a sane society shows just how out of touch they are with the needs of the world. 

What to tell lazy people using Marxism to get out of hard work.

As usual, free market enterprise should be at play here.  Those who work more often and spread out among the population should be rewarded appropriately.  If people want to work more, they should be rewarded with more stuff.  And again, this idea that “stuff” can’t make you happy is more communism and Marxist ideas from people who are at their heart lazy and not the kind of people anybody should be listening to.  It’s essentially the government restricting their productivity through mass collective effort.  Whenever workers propose less work or else, we see a terrorist incursion to our means of production, and the intention is to manage all such rights under the power of collective government to restrict output.  And if people want output, then demands under collective bargaining must be met.  However, not all people are the same.  Some people get tired of sitting around looking at the walls doing nothing, and they want to do more work.  They want to go out and earn money.  Because they want more stuff, they want to pay off their house.  They want a nice car.  They may want a more attractive spouse.  Who wants to be married to a slug?  Someone who would rather play video games all day rather than work and make money?  People need to work more so that a country can have a better GDP.  However, this Australian strategy encourages the world to work less so everyone can be less productive.  That’s the spirit of their new legislation.  No wonder they are an armpit down there and only have any population on the east coast.  What a waste of good land and space. 

Oh, I’ve heard it before: ” If not for the labor unions, those big mean companies would work people to death.”  Wrong. What kills people and society is less work, not more of it. People need to be productive to truly feel good about themselves. This notion that people need all this downtime is ridiculous.  I often love traveling in Japan; people there work hard.  Even when you have a taxi pick you up at the airport, the drivers universally run to open the door for you and make sure you get where you are going without much delay.  Because they appreciate hard work there, which is common in Asian cultures, don’t mind working hard, and usually, they have strong families as well because they work at it.  And that is never going to go away.  When people in the West profess to work less, they are cutting their throats, and the Marxists, I would say, are well aware of it.  Most still hope the globalist union movement will put them on top of world management and central government.  But what will end up happening is that they will end up behind as a result, and Asian cultures, through wealth redistribution, will fill the market void with actual hard work.  The human need for work can be filled with robots and AI, but the demand for things to happen will always be present.  The most successful cultures will be those who do the most work and can maintain their sanity best. Presently, especially in the West, there are too many lazy people playing video games and smoking pot, which is the point where we should consider it a national security risk under every definition.  Who needs a military invasion of a country when you can destroy it from within with more laws against work?  The primary reason America conquered other nations in World War II was that we could out produce against the rest of the world.  And that is still the reason America has the top GDP of any country, even though there are fewer people to do that work. 

I mentioned video games a few times here. I have been playing a lot of Call of Duty lately because I have grandchildren who like to interact with my wife and me through video games.  And I take time to play them to spend time with them.  But it’s evident to me how dangerous this modern video game culture is; we’re not talking about Pac-Man or Space Invaders here, where you play the game for 15 or 20 minutes.  Then you go back to your life.  No, these are all-day excursions, and people work hard to level up on these modern games.  People are taking the effort very seriously.  And I can’t help but think how misapplied it all is.  The natural state of the human being is to be thoughtful and productive.  Whenever you repress those notions about life, you find unhappy people who develop all kinds of emotional problems.  This video game culture represents the need for hard work in every human being’s life, which has replaced effort with waste.  Some people get good at these video games, but to what end?  Will they be able to buy a new house or a new car?  Put savings in the bank?  Of course not.  And for a government to tell its people to work less.  We will penalize employers for providing opportunities beyond eight hours of need per day or more than five days of working per week.  And when people go home, you can’t call them to harass them over work matters.  I’ve been on vacation in exotic places and always took the time to have a business call.  If my family was with me, they could do some shopping while I worked through issues.  After 20 minutes, we’d be back to our vacation and happy.  And work was done.  This idea that people should disconnect from work to be satisfied is insane.  But it’s what the Australians are proposing for their life.  And I would say in response that it’s no wonder they are such losers.  They don’t want to work, and no wonder they are an armpit of a country that is last in just about every category of human endeavor.  They need to be working more, not less, as is the case with most of the human race, except the Asian cultures, who aren’t going to pass “right to disconnect” legislation any time soon.  Likely for them, never.

Sheriff Jones is Right about Security at Liberty Center: The Mall needs to hire big, tough guys to bust scum bags and criminal losers

Before we get too far along on this one, just remember the management of the Liberty Center complex in Butler County, Ohio—you had to be told to reopen the playground after COVID.  You didn’t do it alone; you had to be talked to.  There were a lot of moms who wanted to take their kids out to the mall, and there were lots of moms who wanted to talk to other moms and enjoy the benefits of the excellent food court there.  But for almost a year too long, after the rest of the world came back on after all the dumb Covid lockdowns, Liberty Center still had the lights out at the playground and marked it off as closed because of fear of the local health agencies getting angry over it.  So, the management of the Liberty Center Mall complex is not the brightest in the world; they are following the same destructive woke policies as everyone else.  What makes Liberty Center great is its location, and the people who have fled all the blue-run areas in Cincinnati settled in the region around Liberty Center because they don’t want to be impacted by a bloated, intrusive government.  I love Liberty Center; we always go there as a family.  I think it’s a wonderful thing to have in our community.  But it could be vastly improved if management was better.  Just think of how much lost money occurred because they were too slow to open the playground.  I didn’t say anything about it at the time or my role in it because I didn’t want to embarrass them.  However, regarding this recent Sheriff Jones story, there is some history of woke management practices from corporate firms getting their marching orders outside of our community, and that is a problem we need to discuss. 

You might have heard, and I agree with him absolutely on this one, Sheriff Jones is charging Liberty Center for the reward money that ended up capturing a couple of shoplifters who were caught by some excellent police work done at Dick’s Sporting Goods.  Based on the evidence presented, a couple of women look to have taken several thousands of dollars in theft.  And this is a national trend everywhere these days, especially in communities particularly impacted by the rhetoric of Marxism that believes private property should be abolished, and one of their methods of social destruction is to find suckers who will then turn to the streets and rob property owners of their goods and services.  Sheriff Jones has to send a message that Butler County is not open for crime because it isn’t.  I have noticed that there are a lot of gang bangers and criminal thugs who have been flocking from regions around to the glory and sentiment of Butler and Warren Counties due to this same Marxist trend.  These criminal-minded types believe that if affluent people have something, then they have a right to take it.  So, if we don’t crack down on even the most minor infraction, word will get out that Butler County is an excellent place to go and commit crime.  And we can’t have that.  So these women had to be arrested for being caught doing what they did at Dick’s Sporting Goods.  Sheriff Jones needed to make an example of them.  And he knows it because I’ve told him.  It’s not because we don’t have enough police to cover the job.  We do, and then some.  But if he needs help, I have my hand way up.  There was a gun store near my home that was recently hit with a break-in, and I would like to see that kind of behavior discouraged intensely.  Civilian oversight is the ultimate backstop on these kinds of things.  So it’s not just this recent theft at Liberty Center; there is a lot of stuff going on behind the scenes that indicates a larger crime spree brewing by the actions of Democrat policies from everywhere.  And we have to meet it with aggression; otherwise, it will just get worse.

Sheriff Jones is sending the bill for his police work to Liberty Center to pay, and I think that is a good idea, given the situation.  I would advise the Liberty Center management to drop all the woke garbage and get on to the Make America Great Again plan.  That’s where the rest of the world is heading after this next election, and it will be very costly to cling to any form of wokeness very shortly.  I would get rid of the skinny pants mall cops who are allowing too much riff-raff to form there.  The Mall is private property, so they can tell people to leave.  Failure to do that will result in the same fate as Tri-County Mall to the south and Forest Fair Mall to the west along I-275.  People stopped going to those malls because of the thugs and crime that occurred.  Mall management was slow and reluctant to draw the line because they didn’t want to end up in court over profiling issues, which is not something that will hold up to legal scrutiny.  If the security at Liberty Center intends to break up a group of three or more dangerous-looking teenage kids from just looking stupid, they can.  And they should.  If Liberty Center security does not protect the moms who like to go to the mall with their children, then what happened to other malls in the country will occur to Liberty Center, too. 

I would suggest hiring the kind of security guards at the GOP Lincoln Day Dinner a year or so ago when Ron DeSantis came to speak.  To get into the event, they had huge, muscle-bound tough guys between 6’2” to 6’5”.  They were huge and menacing, which I thought was too much for that kind of event.  But they were trying to make a point for a person running for president.  Anthony Munoz from the Cincinnati Bengals was right behind me, and he looked like a baby being patted down by these guys to go through security.  They were too much for that event, but I would hire them to do the same security at Liberty Center.  They may cost more for wages, but they will more than make up their worth in added lease space and dollars generated.  If people don’t feel safe, they won’t go to the mall, and moms set the family schedule.  To avoid criminal scum bags and those looking like they want to be those types, moms will stay home with their kids and order from Amazon.  So mall security must protect those who go on a limb to invest in a brick-and-mortar store.  That is their first and most important function, not in being fair to everyone and not profiling losers and bums but creating an atmosphere that makes moms feel safe.  I would hire serious, tough guys who project confidence and will back it up with action.  And if Liberty Center Mall security punts to the local police departments, then they should pay for the cost of good police work.  I would encourage Sheriff Jones to get rich by doing so because it is worth the money to crack down on crime.  Otherwise, and this is the Marxist political plan by encouraging all these dumb people to commit crimes in the first place, there won’t be any money left to steal.  Petty crimes and significant crimes need to be prosecuted aggressively.  Otherwise, society will fall apart quickly, especially at Liberty Center in Butler County, Ohio.  It’s OK to be mean to scum bags and criminals.  And I’d suggest that Liberty Center listen to Sheriff Jones and do their jobs as required.

The CIA Funds Itself Through Illegal Drugs: Without civilian oversight, corruption always occurs

The first problem I had with the world after the first Trump White House administration was that so many characters, including many domestic conspirators, were not at all concerned about breaking the laws of our Constitution.  And our legal system, led by our three letter agencies, was working against it, as clearly, the FBI did in its work to perform a coup against a sitting American president.  Then, there was the CIA, which was actively involved in many controversies.  But what sealed it all for me was when I had a chance to talk to Mike Pompeo, who ran the CIA under Trump, and I had him alone for a moment to ask him what he thought about the 51 intelligence officers who had come out and dismissed the Biden laptop and called it Russian disinformation.  He was careful with his answer.  I think he did an excellent job as the CIA Director.  I was a kid who used to have a CIA ball cap that I wore everywhere.  I love law and order and the idea of a protective agency that is out there in the world fighting the bad guys.  But the more I learned about the CIA and the rest of the intelligence agencies, the more obvious it was that they “were” the bad guys.  They weren’t patriotic Americans fighting to do what’s right.  With all these elements in my mind, I allowed myself to ask the question about their integrity because it was a long process; the evidence had to take me to the answer because I wasn’t looking for it to be so sinister.  I wanted to think that reform of the CIA was possible and that if only we had the right kind of leadership, they could be salvageable. 

Then, I heard the root cause of the problem from a prosecutor while serving on a grand jury.  We were talking about the Constitution and the typical visits they make in Butler County to the local jail to see how criminals live and are processed because many of the decisions we had to make would impact that system.  It was one of those let your hair down kind of discussions, and he let it slip that we did that with grand juries in Butler County, Ohio because we were still old-fashioned regarding the law and wanted to pay tribute to the concept of civilian oversight.  That hit me because, to my mind, that was the whole point of what we were doing on the grand jury.  But then I looked over the weeks of cases we had been judging, and many were not the significant, serious crimes out there.  Many of those were left unresolved because the Feds were usually involved in those and took over once the borders of our community were imposed upon by outside elements, which, when it comes to significant crimes, is just about everywhere when it comes to drug cartels.  My experience on the grand jury was frustrating regarding drugs because I have a profound hatred of all mind-numbing intoxicants, even those prescribed by doctors.  To say I don’t like drugs is not severe enough to describe how I feel about them.  Hate isn’t a strong enough word.  But a pattern was emerging that was at the root cause of all this bad behavior, and I did a lot of research to uncover what I had been learning about the process of law and order from the perspective of prosecutors and why these drug cases weren’t being punished enough, and why the big dealers were never messed with. 

The problem with the CIA is that they do not have civilian oversight.  And they have been working against voter-picked White House occupants for many decades now and have involved themselves domestically in election fraud, just as they do around the world when they set up governments to topple countries considered enemies of America.  At least, that’s what we’ve been told.  Instead, what has happened is that they have formed their fourth branch of government that does not have any elected representative oversight.  They do not report to Congress, where the American people have their representatives overseeing their government.  And if they do a terrible job, we can elect new representatives.  Just as the Butler County prosecutor let it slip that they have to pay reverence to the concept of the American Constitution and the idea that the whole point of a grand jury was to have the community oversee the behavior of law enforcement to make sure they weren’t getting too big for their britches.  Because most of the world doesn’t respect America anymore due to the open border movement, they certainly don’t respect our legal system domestically and have no problem breaking laws with immunity.  In addition to all the experiences with various people that I mentioned, in my youth, I had experience with mob crime families, and I always wondered why the police and FBI never seemed to bust them.   I knew where they were and who they were.  But unless it was a rival crime element, the feds and police never seemed to arrest them.  Why were all these things happening?

The answer for me was a long one, but an excellent package of the truth can be found in the book by Paul Williams called Operation Gladio, which gives a history of the creation of the CIA after World War II and how it interacts with the sovereign government of the Vatican and the Italian crime families.  It’s much more complicated than all that. It involves banking families with their hands in all kinds of global activity, but it all points to one essential problem.  There is a tendency toward corruption in any organization that does not have to be accountable to the people it is supposed to serve.  That was the key ingredient to the American Constitution; that was the purpose of our grand jury and jury system.  But even our prosecutors see that our legal society has been washed away into globalism concepts without respect for American policy.  They don’t even respect our borders, let alone our laws.  Prosecutors know all this and only go after the kind of crimes they are allowed to prosecute, allowed by the presumption of global politics, not domestic management.  The reason that the CIA has always been rumored and confirmed to allow the drug trade to flourish was that it has funded its budgets, which keeps them from getting money from Congress and avoiding that need for civilian oversight, with illegal activity in the drug trade.  And that was a mistake, assuming they could operate in secrecy and not lose themselves to corruption.  And, of course, they would not allow a President elected by vote to diminish their power even if they had to kill to do it, which they have been willing to do, as the Kennedy assassination displays with history in hindsight.  We have a government agency that operates on its own and is funded by illegal activity, a global drug trade that started in China during World War II but has migrated into a worldwide enterprise connected directly to international mobs and religious organizations that ran a cover story, for which the entire purpose was to have all the power of a government without any oversight.  The point of all the crime was to fund their activities without having to beg Congress for funding and report to them the value of their work.  When pressed, they would point to nuclear threats and declare any oversight could result in World War III.  Or that aliens might come down and kill all of us, so we had to support the secrecy of the CIA and FBI for our own good.  Otherwise, we might all die if we ask too many questions.  And sadly, that’s why we have to get rid of them. They don’t have civilian oversight and are willing to fight to maintain that status, which makes them very dangerous and is the greatest threat America faces as a nation.  It’s not other countries that we have to worry about.  Without any civilian oversight that controls its government agencies the process is doomed to fail from the start and that is the story of the CIA.  They are guilty of working against the Constitutional parameters set up to prevent them from becoming just what they are today: a fourth branch of unaccountable and dangerous government that has turned to illegal activities for their sustenance and intentions for a global government that is corrupt beyond measure and a menace to us all. And they can’t be allowed to continue as they have been.  They kill, they steal, and they corrupt in ways that are dangerous to the human race and we can’t ignore their destructive behavior any longer.

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

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

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

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

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

Mental Health and Crime: Why what Jack Smith is doing is treason and sedition as viewed from Jolly’s Drive-In

I think the best thing that could have happened to me, given my unique role in life, is that I had an opportunity over the summer of 2024 to be the foreman for a grand jury in my community, and during that tenure of many weeks of service, I learned things from an essential perspective.  Before that experience, I had a very high exposure rate to the legal profession, so the neutrality of a grand jury experience where you get to interview a lot of law enforcement and get to know them from a civilian oversight position and speak with prosecutors over many days and lots of hours every day, I feel I have an excellent grasp on several important issues regarding our law and order society.  And I can speak on this federal case with Jack Smith and these new charges he has come up with from the perspective of a prosecutor for the United Nations, and now trying to impose some anti-free speech mess to President Trump with much more authority.  Not that there was any doubt, but now I know for sure that what Smith is doing is treason and sedition, and openly using a grand jury in Washington D.C. to attempt case law from a legal perspective that is anti-Constitutional.  That is why we have civilian oversight and grand juries: to keep people like Jack Smith from abusing the law the way he has been.  But grand juries are made up of people who do not have much exposure to the law, and I’ve now seen firsthand how that process works very intimately; I can see how these prosecutors play the game, and that is undoubtedly what Jack Smith is doing, and the others who have attacked Trump through legal lawfare.  What he has done, and what the general state of our legal society has experienced, is intolerable and worth the kind of civilian oversight that has been needed for far too long.  No United Nations court will rule over an American court, which Jack Smith and other progressives assume will be the case.  And I know how to fight this fight better than ever before, which, to say the least, what they have been doing will not be permitted.

In that experience, as a foreman on a grand jury, I referred to a clear pattern that has emerged in the background of the foundations of our entire society, indicating what we must do to conduct a proper civilization.  Also, uniquely for a person like me, I travel a lot and speak to people from all over the world daily and weekly.  As I said, some of my kids are returning from Europe, where they have been visiting and sending pictures daily; that is usual for my family.  So, talking about cultures and how they do things in other places is not unusual.  I do not live in some social bubble of Appalachia in Hamilton, Ohio, where I only understand regional concerns, such as how long in the year will Jolly’s Drive-In be open, the little root beer stand that sits at the entrance to the city of Hamilton on Rt. 4.  Rather, I did go and get a footlong there the other day and had a friendly root beer while I listened to the news on the radio from around the world and let me tell you, that was sheer Heaven.  I know Heaven exists because of experiences like that.  But regarding perspective, I have plenty of it and can say with authority that the biggest problem in our criminal justice system is our level of sanity and how people from around the world are using social pressure to challenge people’s sanity into committing crimes that then benefit their social narrative with the specific strategy of toppling our nation from within. 

As I was eating that Jolly’s footlong and thinking about all the cases from my personal grand jury experience just a mile or so down the road at the courthouse, where I have now become all too familiar, most of the cases I had for consideration involved some level of insanity that reminded me of the fantastic board game Arkham Horror that I have referred to in the past.  Unlike a game like Monopoly or Life, Arkham Horror deals with sanity points.  As you start the game, you are given five brain tokens representing your mental health.  And as you experience tragedy throughout the game, you lose those brains.  When you no longer have any brain tokens, you are then considered insane and have to be committed to a mental institution.  I can say that this isn’t just a game in Arkham Horror; this is a deliberate strategy that the enemies of America have purposely imposed upon us as a country for the purposeful dismantling of it.  And you can see it clearly, if you know what to look for, in the charges Jack Smith is attempting to hang on the neck of President Trump.  Of course, it won’t work; there is nothing Constitutional about anything Jack Smith and the other prosecutors are doing to President Trump that is even remotely legal.  But their strategy isn’t in case law but in pushing society toward a level of insanity that makes a United Nations overthrow of our entire American legal system a strategic enterprise rooted in blatant treason and sedition. 

To fix many of the problems I heard from the perspective of a grand jury would be not just to commit ourselves to improved police coverage or jail space to put all the criminals but to deal with the social conditions that are causing so many people to lose their sanity.  Not that any of that explains criminal conduct; everyone has an obligation to the maintenance of their own mental health. Most of the cases I heard on a grand jury trace back to sanity maintenance, and many people who find themselves in criminal conduct are dealing with sanity problems.  Maybe they had lousy family experiences or are biologically disposed toward poor mental health.  However, there are many ways that humans need conditions to maintain their sanity, ultimately creating a much better society with much less crime.  But we have progressive social elements that are purposely trying to cause mental depletion to overload our criminal justice system and, in the end, topple the United States as a sovereign nation.  Where before, I might have just speculated on such a thought. I am sure it is happening now, and I understand how it occurs.  So, the solution to better mental health is what we need to think about as a society.   The movies we watch, the food we eat, the way we raise our families, and what values we have.  You can’t be a reckless person hell-bent on self-destruction and have many people who love you go through a busted-up life and expect everything to come out well.  We must all maintain our sanity points with care and understand how we impact other people in that process if we want a good, legal society.  But there are real bad guys, like Jack Smith, who are globalists and have embedded themselves in our highest levels of the legal profession, and they want to topple our legal system from a captured asset perspective.  After weeks of serving on a grand jury, it’s pretty straightforward and made more apparent while eating a footlong at Jolly’s Drive-In in Hamilton, Ohio.  Much of the social insanity we have been dealing with is a purposeful attack on our nation, and it is time we treat it that way and punish the real villains who think they have immunity as sovereigns of the United Nations and can’t be touched by domestic, American law.  They have another thing coming.

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

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

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

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

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

Trump is the Best Salesman in the World: Unless the President is back in the White House, people will not accept the results of the election

So, to answer the question that I have been asked by many people, including people who work on the inside of several campaigns, including Trump’s, what can Trump do to beat the machine?  How does he answer the campaign of keep away that Harris is playing, knowing that the election is rigged and that the media is in the tank for the Democrats?  Should Trump put together the old 2016 team?  How should he answer the challenge, assuming free elections are still possible?  I would add to all that the essential problem is that the Deep State cannot afford to lose this election.  And what they are doing with Kamala is not enough to win.  The polling with rigged elements is trying to keep it close, but in reality, it’s not close.  I think Trump could walk to the finish line doing nothing and win this election.  But what can be done by Trump to help ensure he can win?  Well, my response is to dig back to his roots, at the Power of Positive Thinking by Norman Vincent Peale, and turn all the negatives into positives.  Kamala Harris is such an evil character who is trying to be overtly positive; their only option since they have such a terrible record comes out as phony.  And people are naturally repulsed by her.  The goal of the bad guys is to try and make it look close so they can cheat, which Merrick Garland has already started alluding to.  Unless it’s Trump winning the White House, people are not going to accept the results of this government-counted election where the Deep State is trying to protect itself from the massive reforms that are coming, whether they like it or not.  Those reforms will happen through peace, preferably an election, or force.  But they will happen.  The Deep State of global communism, which Kamala Harris represents, is only hanging on by a thread at this point.  People are not choosing them by default as they have in the past.  Now, people are on to the game.

Trump is one of the best salespeople in the world and is certainly the best in terms of his massive social brand.  When people talk about Trump as a con man and not an astute businessman, they are talking about his ability, which is a skill, to turn negatives into positives.  One thing that is very evident in Trump’s books, which I have collected for years, especially these new ones, such as Our Journey Together from Winning Team Publishing and this new one coming out, Save America, is the quality of everything that Trump does.  The Trump Organization, well before they were ever in politics, knew how to sell a good experience, which showed in their products.  Going through some of those Trump books recently, mainly Our Journey Together, sells American exceptionalism independently.  Trump doesn’t have to work very hard at it.  What this election will come down to, as they usually do, is the economy.  Do people have money to work with? In this case, everyone attached to the Biden administration in some way or another has been suppressing a depression, not just a recession.  Driving down gas prices here at the last minute isn’t enough to put juice back into people’s pockets.  The cost of inflation has already done the damage, and there is no way to hide it from people.  When it comes to voting, people want a change primarily due to money and the lack of it in people’s pockets. 

Trump knows how to sell the brand of a better America through the Power of Positive Thinking.  He doesn’t have to answer Kamala Harris on anything.  Trump has set the stage and controls the message, which are all the key points any campaign wants.  The only question remains whether we can still choose representatives through our elections.  Trump knows the key to that is too big to rig approach where even with the manipulations of voting machine data and drop box stuffing, people know how they voted and they aren’t going to put up with a spike in the middle of the night of Biden drops while people were sleeping, then say, “presto, Biden won,” as they continued to count for weeks after that.  It’s kind of the situation at the end of Beetlejuice where he stole the number for the line wait from the shrunken head witch doctor.  Only for the doctor to notice and shrink Beetlejuice’s own head.  The criminal elements of our government do think we are all stupid, and like that Beetlejuice character, they are going to try to take advantage of us any way they think they can get by with.  But people are now looking out for the trouble in ways they never have before.  So, Trump doesn’t need to run a negative campaign.  He has his core base, and they get it.  Trump doesn’t need to be negative in any way possible.  He does not need to play the victim card.  All he needs to do is peel away the middle grounders, which is happening already with Elon Musk and Robert F. Kennedy, known democrats who are now joining Trump for a big-tent Republican Party. 

I am looking forward to Trump’s new book Save America, which features him being shot in the head on the cover and pumping his fist to the sky in defiance with blood running down his face, and it comes out on the first of September 2024.  As I said, Trump and his team understand what they are doing, and these books during his presidency are very high quality and have an extremely positive message.  These are the same Trumps that had Melania selling jewelry on late-night infomercials before any of them got involved in politics.  Selling a positive message as to how America can be Great Again is something they know how to do.  These books alone will not put Trump over the top in this election.  Melania Trump has a book coming out in October, which I will undoubtedly be one of the first to get and read, and I think it will sell her in a way she doesn’t usually give people access to.   What’s happening here is that Democrats who see the writing on the wall, such as Musk and Kennedy, are stepping toward Trump, as many others are also.  This is what was happening to the Trump administration during its last days before the Deep State launched COVID-19 to stop the bleeding.  Democrats were stepping over and joining Trump’s positive message.  So, Covid was released as a bioweapon.  Hey, don’t take my word for it; Bobby Kennedy and Rand Paul will tell you all about it.  It was the biggest crime in the world’s history, and many people still have to pay for it.  But Trump doesn’t need to cry and whine about it.  He has to stay positive, and that will make it too big for the bad guys to rig this election.   I didn’t just start loving Democrats, but we’re looking at a big picture here, and Trump gets it.  It’s in his books that he is bringing America together again no matter what the skin color, sex, or political affiliation is.  And it’s all about the Power of Positive Thinking.  The platform is in Trump’s books.  People are jumping on for their own self-preservation.  This is something Kamala Harris and her Deep State controllers could never do with any amount of money and propped up polling if they wanted to.  They just can’t, and people know it, which is why Trump is poised to win, even beyond the controls of cheating that are looming in the background.

RFK Jr. Endorses President Trump: Never Forget, COVID was a created bioweapon, and we have to fix what happened

They killed innocent people. We can’t just move on.

Notice for the first time since Trump started in politics that nobody is talking about Never Trumpers?  I saw this coming long ago; I could tell by reading his books.  However, the RFK Jr. speech endorsing President Trump was a history-making dream come true for me.  Not because the big tent party of the Republicans was opening the door to more liberals in it, but that there was a lot of good with Kennedy that perhaps only President Trump could unlock.  The ability to work with people who do not think exactly like you is a powerful skill.  One of the things that Trump has been able to do over the years that made him the most successful was getting people who don’t think like him to do what he wants them to do.  Usually, when rival presidential candidates step away and endorse someone, we never hear from them again, but in the case of RFK Jr., that would be a shame because he has done so much good with the Children’s Defense Health network.  Trump is not a micromanager and in many ways; under the Trump Administration umbrella, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will get the opportunity to do more good that he has dedicated his life to than he would have ever imagined otherwise.  For a radical Democrat to come into the Republican tent and endorse President Trump on the first Friday after the DNC convention was quite bold and a magnificent strategic move.  And one that makes it very easy for other Democrats to support Trump, too.  After the Kennedy endorsement, several actors and sports figures have done the same, which is good.  But any fear that Never Trumpers were not going to vote for Trump and that they would empower Harris by some other means is now long gone.  There are plenty of Democrats who are crossing over and voting for Trump.  In every category, Trump is winning and bringing the country together for a common cause in a way that has not been seen since Lincoln and reconstruction after the Civil War. 

Kennedy’s books, The Real Anthony Fauci and The Wuhan Cover-up are serious legal arguments for creating the bioweapon Covid and how it was unleashed upon the world, and they deserve severe public policy scrutiny.  Trump sees the need to include Kennedy in his administration which says everything about what’s possible with this upcoming White House, which is the exact opposite of what we have been experiencing.  I have talked about those two books extensively over the past few years, and I proposed that Kennedy join Trump as a VP in the future because of them.  But at that time, nobody knew what was going to happen to Trump, let alone Kennedy who positioned himself as a severe threat to the established order, especially with his resistance to vaccinations.  For all the people who feared Big Pharma running our government, which was obviously a problem with the Biden administration when they mandated vaccines for Covid, or that the World Economic Forum already had America divided up and the assets sold off to banking interests, suddenly things look a whole lot different on the battlefield.  We have not forgotten about what they did with COVID-19 to us all.  But it’s a much larger problem than even that.  To have Kennedy in the Trump administration as the head of Health and Human Services would be a significant step in correcting severe issues that have been occurring for many years and it’s harming people in terrible ways.  I’m a supporter of capitalism, and I generally like corporations, but I don’t like what happens to them under government partnerships and a lack of competition.  And to that point, that’s the problem.  If they poison our food and give people too many drugs without competitive alternatives, they have too much power over our lives, which is what we have been seeing, and it’s making people miserable. 

Think of some of these dream team participants coming into the Trump administration, not just to mention Kennedy but Elon Musk.  Vivek Ramaswamy could also be involved in economic recovery.  And a Vice President in J.D. Vance and all that comes with that.  And some of these senators who are replacing the old guard, specifically Kari Lake, and in Ohio Bernie Moreno, we are looking at an optimistic administration and other branches of government that can support it and give people something we have never had in America.  It will be the opposite of what we’ve been experiencing, which has been dismal.   But first, we have to get rid of the resistance of the Administrative State, which has been working for a global Deep State for a long time.  We have to have the guts to cut them off and put them out of control over our government. We certainly know that Trump is willing to do that, but now, with people like Bobby Kennedy in on the effort with Elon Musk, all former Democrats, we are talking about a process that we likely had to go through in America to get to the good stuff.  Until people realized just how bad it was, this combination of forces that we see behind Trump would never have happened.  People needed to see all this for themselves before there was ever any serious consideration of joining together to solve real American problems. 

It was never an option to walk away after all the bad things that were done in 2020 to Trump and the rest of us.  Just as I called the need for Robert F. Kennedy to be involved with the Trump team years ago, especially after reading The Real Anthoney Fauci, I said on day one of the COVID crisis that it was a fake bioweapon.  Nobody else wanted to admit to it, so I compared it to an attack on America similar to Pearl Harbor.  It was an act of terrorism like the Oklahoma City Bombing and 9/11.  It was an overt assault of globalism against us all, and our government got hoodwinked.  Trump was in office when it happened, and he certainly learned his lesson.  And few people have worked as hard to expose the invasion as RFK Jr.  So yeah, there are a lot of bad guys who are going to be very worried about Trump joining forces with RFK Jr. and other Democrats who are stepping away from Kamala Harris and stepping into the big tent of the Republican Party.  Trump is the kind of executive who can work with people who don’t agree with him on everything but do great work in their specified fields.  And under no other circumstances would a partnership like this be possible.  In a lot of ways, a spell is being broken that has hindered our nation for many years, and the poverty hostilities we have seen by Democrats and global communists over the past decade have set the table for these extraordinary events.  Before people could understand it, they had to see how bad it was out there, and we have now.  People have seen what the world would look like under the rule of globalists at the World Economic Forum.  And they are ready to reject that world.  And they are also bolder than ever to embrace a much more productive world that is coming together under the Trump administration for history as it has never been seen before.  And there is a lot to be excited about.

Roger Reynolds is Found Not Guilty Again: But What’s Next, managing a big tent party

Yes, I am happy that the Ohio Supreme Court declined the state’s request to appeal former Butler County auditor Roger Reynolds’ appeal of the utterly unfair conviction thrown his way for the improper interest in a government contract.  What it all amounted to was a political squabble imposed on Reynolds, who was doing a great job as an auditor, and despite the charges tossed against him, he was still popularly elected.  However, while there was a conviction initially in court that had to be overturned, Roger Reynolds had to resign from his position.  It looked like he might have had to spend jail time over the charge at that time.  But Roger won his appeal, as I said he would.  I knew the facts of the case and the personalities involved, and my thoughts toward Roger’s innocence never wavered.  And neither did our mutual friend Nancy Nix, who had been treasurer and resigned from her position to fill the auditor position, being left open by Roger as he dealt with all these legal issues.  Nancy came to court most days while Roger was going through his ordeal to support her friend.  Her first thought about the whole matter was to ensure that the good policies utilized for the county’s people under Roger’s direction could be maintained in his honor, which she has done.  However, Nancy Nix is a good person for that job in her own right, and now, some time has passed since she has been doing the auditor job very well.  Her old treasurer’s job has been filled by another person doing an excellent job also.  Butler County, Ohio, is one of the few places in the world where the budget operates in the black, above water.   And that is a trend we want to continue now that Roger can serve again in a public office.  The most important thing is the quality of the government given to the people who need it and the viability of the big tent party of the Butler County GOP. 

I have been reminded how much I have liked Sheriff Jones recently, as we have talked on several occasions.  We’ve been on opposite sides on several issues, most recently this whole prosecution of Roger Reynolds, which cost Reynolds a lot of money and lost reputation over what I would consider a purely political issue that happens in the background more than it should.  It’s tough to run races in primaries and between presidential years, where a party tends to come together nicely if there is a strong personality at the top of the ticket.  And a few years ago, when the Butler County GOP was going through an identity crisis, nobody knew what was going to happen to Trump, if he’d even be back; a lot of Republicans strayed back to their corners of influence and placed their bets toward the political direction they thought would set priorities.  So everyone entered a kind of primary mode where Republicans battled Republicans for public attention, and brand damage to those candidates and the party in general occurred and, at times, got out of control.  Well, I knew where the politics were going, and I said so all along, and it’s shaping up just as I thought and said it would.  I wish more people listened.  But here we are, and people did what they did to each other. I want everyone to thrive.  I was happy to hear that Roger’s appeal on his conviction was held up under Supreme Court scrutiny.  I am proud and glad that Nancy Nix has been running Butler County as an auditor.  And I was thrilled to see Sheriff Jones with Hulk Hogan at the Liberty Township Kroger, bringing a lot of joy to people in Butler County who desperately needed it. 

The can was kicked down the road for a long time, and Nancy has had to deal with the hard stuff.

While all this was happening, I watched the speech at the Trump rally in Arizona, where Robert F. Kennedy Jr. endorsed Trump in what I thought was a jaw-dropping speech.  But, again, I called that one almost two to three years ago when nobody in the nation saw that coming.  (I did!)  And I was enormously proud of Trump, who just survived an assassin’s bullet just a few weeks ago, making the Republican Party such a big tent that even an ultra-liberal Bobby Kennedy Jr could join our fight for what’s right.  Because I do like Bobby Kennedy, even though my typical position on Democrats is to destroy them, hook, line, and sinker.  Bobby Kennedy would be great for Trump’s administration in many ways, and it took guts to join Trump and for Trump to open up that tent to accommodate him.  Polling-wise, Trump didn’t need to.  However, Trump did what was best for the party and sought to bring in as many people as possible who could fit into the GOP tent, which is what the game should be about.  Thinking of a big tent, I couldn’t help but think of Nancy Nix, who I have watched go through the same challenge in Butler County.  It is hard to deal with so many strong personalities and be sincere to them all.  And while Roger was going through his horrible ordeal, Nancy never left his side.  She was genuinely loyal when, politically, it would have been better for her not to be.  It took real guts and sincerity. 

So what happens now, with Roger Reynolds able to run for public office again, is that he wants to be vindicated and restore his name to righteousness.  And I have wanted to see that happen for several years now.  I want to help him do that personally.  As I have talked to everyone about these issues privately, to me, it comes out as the kind of family scabbles that have to be resolved ahead of a Thanksgiving dinner where everyone is arguing about the football teams playing between the Detroit Lions and the Green Bay Packers, who is better, who should go to the playoffs, and which team will win that day.  It’s all the NFL as far as I’m concerned, and nobody should try to kill each other over the outcome.  But those kinds of conversations get heated when people start arguing, especially when millions of dollars are at stake and the personal reputations of so many people.  Ultimately, what matters in politics is that people get good government from people willing to do the job.  I see a path for Roger going forward, but he can’t reset the table and have Nancy move back to the treasurer job, and he just slides back into his old auditor job.  There must be a primary process where he could challenge Nancy for that seat in the next term.  The people of Butler County are getting excellent work out of that auditor position, and Nancy made a productive tag team effort to make sure they didn’t miss a beat.  But we don’t need more personal destruction, especially with the great opportunities coming from a second Trump term.  I would encourage everyone to look at the big picture and play the cards they have, and not the ones you wished you had.  Play the hand you’re dealt and do good things with them.  And in the scheme of things, I love Nancy Nix.  Especially when things are not hunky dory, Nancy has shown that she is a good person even when it doesn’t pay to be, and I like that in people.  In my way of thinking, she is the kind of person around whom you build a political party.  Everyone needs to find their way to the kitchen table she sets and get along for the good of Butler County, Ohio, and an excellent Republican Party that people can and should be very proud of.  And it would be my advice not to fall in love with job titles.  But in the good work that needs to be done, no matter what it is.

Elon Musk’s Highly “Unscientific Poll”: Deregulating the world under a new Trump administration

Let’s talk about Elon Musk’s highly unscientific poll on his “X” platform, which had nearly 6 million real people voting for President Trump or Kamala Harris.  This is why the Democrats at their convention are obsessed with beating President Trump because the internals, the cross tabs of all the national polling are pointing in the same direction.  However, this is the power of Elon Musk’s endorsement and his support of Trump on “X,” formally known as Twitter.  The poll showed that 73% of “X” users wanted Trump as President instead of Kamala Harris.  Now, I would not call “X” a right-wing platform.   And I would not call Elon Musk a right-wing guy.  Only a few years ago, he was the face of the World Economic Forum and a spokesman for globalism and climate science concerns.  Heck, his main revenue stream is in making electric cars.  He wants to power the earth with solar panels.  Well, something incredible is happening that is worth taking note of.  And it all started with that assassination attempt on Trump.  Elon Musk has been leaning toward Trump, especially after all his experiences with the Biden administration’s regulatory burdens.  Even a few months ago, when I was reviewing Elon Musk’s most recent book, it seemed unfathomable that Musk would endorse Trump for president.  Musk was a DeSantis guy, a recent development for one of the wealthiest people on earth.  So for Musk to buy Twitter and turn it into an actual free speech machine, essentially destroying the long-held gains of media control by a centralized government, a lot more than just a political stunt happened, and it came unleashed during a “Spaces” interview that Musk did with Trump that was spectacular.  When the smoke clears from this 2024 election, it will be “X” as a platform that shows the natural way of the world with true consumer sentiment.  The government propaganda that is the push behind Kamala Harris never had a chance. 

I thought the “Spaces” interview that Elon Musk had with Trump was one of the most important things to happen in the world at any point in history.  If you’ve ever been to Hyde Park in London, England, there is a tiny part of the park called Speaker’s Corner, where open debate and free speech are somewhat encouraged to take the edge off protestors and social discontent.  But most of the world is under the thumb of some bully administration of government that suppresses the expression of free ideas.  Not so suddenly, Musk bought Twitter and turned it into “X” to solve many of the problems of tyranny in the world.  Twitter was an asset to the various intelligence agencies seeking to control free speech and gather information on people who might cause them trouble.  I am still heavily shadow-banned on the “X” platform, even with Elon Musk owning it.  But listening to that 2-hour interview with Musk and Trump just talking to each other was remarkable, and it was shattering many thousands of years of oppressive government regulation in multiple cultures.  And the beauty of the American Constitution played out in how it was designed.  Having that conversation, unregulated and free of burden, was remarkable.  And it was the game-changer in this election.  Yes, it started with Truth Social.  If Trump hadn’t built that social media platform from the ground up, it’s highly likely that Elon Musk never would have bought Twitter and turned it into “X.”  But now that he has, the world’s governments have lost control of their gains by controlling free speech in a way that the world has never seen.  And those polling results are precisely what terrifies them and have Democrats horrified of President Trump, which, after all they have done, they should be. 

There is no more powerful news media company now than Elon Musk, who controls the “X” social media platform.  And as I’ve been saying for a long time, this conversion of Musk to Trump didn’t happen overnight.  Elon Musk didn’t just decide yesterday to become a conservative.  This is a transition that has come over time and experience.  Out of necessity, Musk dedicated his life to taking humans to Mars, and there was only one way to get there.  And I’m not talking about rockets.  Humans can build just about anything.  Invention is not the problem.  The problem is that humans also penalize themselves with timidity, so we give governments too much power by default.  And we allow them to create too much regulation, which is currently the world’s biggest threat.  Elon Musk sees through Trump a path to solving that problem by making himself the head of the Department of Government Efficiency with a President Trump appointment.  Under Trump, the thing that has to happen is massive deregulation and a shrinking of government in every way possible.  All those ridiculous government jobs that are out there need to be private sector positions, so a massive transition has to occur, and Trump is the best way to get there.  And Musk knows it’s in his best interest, given his dedication to the cause, to help Trump. 

We’re seeing the same thing going on with RFK supporting Trump.  When Democrats are moving into the GOP tent, that’s a good thing.  We may not be all ideologically aligned.  There is a lot with Elon Musk that I would say is way too progressive for my way of thinking.  But I can deal with people who disagree with me.  What I can’t deal with are people trying to destroy my country and attempting to kill or control the entire human race.  We have seen just such characters at the World Economic Forum.  Thinking back to an old friend at Clear Channel Radio in Cincinnati, Darryl Parks, he predicted that someone like Elon Musk would come along and change how radio broadcasts were done.  Through “X,” radio has changed forever through its “Spaces” utilization.  That interview between Musk and Trump reached over a billion people 24 hours after it happened, which is phenomenal.  But it’s also the way of the future.  As humans colonize space, it’s through communication through “X” that people will keep up with media and exchange ideas.  It won’t be the traditional print and FCC-controlled wave broadcasts.  Hosting a podcast on “X” is far more potent than being booked as a guest on a cable news station.  I learned that myself years ago after I did a stint on CNN.  My blog platform reached many more people over a long period than the bits you can do on traditional television.  Now, Musk owns that formula for perpetuating the human race into a change state that will make human beings interplanetary.  Musk has spent billions of dollars making his vision for humans migrating into space possible.  And at this point, the only thing standing in his way is the Democrat party and their governments of global communism and stifling regulatory burdens.  And with Trump back in the White House, Musk can play a substantial massive role in making the government less intrusive, as he has done with his management style at Tesla and “X.”  And I think it’s inspiring and fascinating, the complete opposite of what we have been seeing out of government.  And it is more than within reach, according to that “unscientific” poll, which looks far more accurate than anything else.
