‘Horizon: An American Saga,’ a movie that is magnificent for all who want to Make America Great Again

It’s a great movie that deserves to be seen in a movie theater, but most of what you have heard about the new film Horizon: An American Saga is wrong regarding the negative stuff.  It’s a big, bold movie that tries to put its arms around American westward expansion and can almost touch its fingers on the other side.  But it does do what many Westerns since the early days of cinema have done, and that captures the vast expanses of the West and American opportunity along the way that is simply magnificent.  This was a western on the scope of How the West Was Won, made by a guy in Kevin Costner, who loves westerns and has built the best parts of his career by making them.  It reminded me of an Alan Ekert novel from the Frontiersman series.  Now, this will not win the Academy Awards.  They will hate Costner for making this movie, so don’t expect any respect from the Hollywood machine for this Western series, which is the first of a projected four.  They are filming the third installment as of the summer of 2024.  The second part comes out in the middle of August.  And I hope they complete part four.  This is not a traditional way of making movies; you watch the first part in a movie theater for over three hours.  Then, once all the primary characters are introduced, you have to return a few months later to see what happens next.  At the end of Horizon: An American Saga Part One, we are just getting started on an epic story about the creation of America as a country, which is vastly ambitious.  I would say, from Kevin Costner’s point of view, this is a love letter to all the blood it took to make America and to make a point about why it was worth it. 

As a business decision, this is not built on the model Hollywood is built on today.  Not all standard measures can be applied.  This movie is made, I think, to try to save movie theaters from becoming the modern version of drive-ins.  There are economic forces out there that are very consciously trying to destroy various American industries through woke politics, and Hollywood has fallen for the trap in many ways, willingly.  The communist left has an agenda, and they have been attacking American Westerns for decades now.  This movie, Horizon: An American Saga, is a purposeful rebellion against that trend.  It is exceptionally well made by the same guy who directed Dances with Wolves.  It has all that size and scope and then some.  The problem with a movie like this is that the union labor costs are so outrageous now that it’s nearly impossible to make any large production without exceeding a 100 million dollar budget.   As I watched the credits until the end, this is a big Hollywood movie with all the big labor that comes with such a production, so the financing doesn’t add up in a traditional way, as measured by The Hollywood Reporter.  When John Ford made westerns like this, the budgets with unionized labor weren’t nearly so out of control.  So they could afford to tell stories like this without all the fast-paced action of a summer blockbuster.  This movie was designed to be presented significantly and for people to go to the theater to see it as opposed to streaming it at home.  It’s so long that it keeps people in the movie theater for a long time buying snacks.  And it could and should be seen several times.  And that people will keep coming back for future installments to see the next parts.  It’s an almost unheard-of financial model where Costner uses his personal money to help get the films out. 

It doesn’t surprise me that the film only made 10 million dollars in its opening weekend.  I mean, who is going to see it? It’s long, and they talk a lot.  There aren’t many action scenes.  It is filmed with traditional pacing; it reminded me of Little House on the Prairie or Gunsmoke in most of the movie.  The camera angles are broad but set, and the actors do a lot of work talking.  That’s not to say that everything isn’t interesting, but this isn’t a Marvel movie designed to be a billion-dollar box office generator.  They aren’t trying to thrill you with a spectacular action scene every ten minutes.  This is a plodding and deliberate movie made in the classic way to return to theaters after COVID-19, a Hollywood product that puts people back in their seats, not just for one event, but several times.  It was an extraordinarily bold throwback to when Hollywood told these kinds of stories often, and for people looking for their country back after years of political turmoil, this movie is a stake in the ground to inspire people to deal with the enormity of creating the greatest country on the face of the earth, and not to apologize for it.  Given the political situation we are all experiencing now, this is a movie for Trump supporters who want to Make America Great Again.  While Hollywood does love Kevin Costner, they certainly won’t be happy with him making this movie; The industry has attacked him for it in every negative reporting avenue they could.  But this is a project that Kevin Costner loves, and it shows.  And it is worth sharing, for sure.

A lot has been made about how Indians are portrayed in this movie.  Although they were brutal, I didn’t think they were shown in too harsh of a light.  People thought of them as savages.  It is the communist left who has told us that we were supposed to be in love with them and to think of them as indigenous people who were here first and that we took their land from them.  I have a very different view of Indian life, and I do not see them as a superior culture who had a right to be in North America and that we took something from them.  This movie, Horizon: An American Saga, gives the Indians more credit than I think they deserve.  In history, they were migrants just like everyone else, looking for a life for themselves.  But this living with nature crap is very much a globalist communist sentiment meant to control human behavior, not to do what humans were born to do, and that is to create.  Horizon is a movie about the need for American expansion and the collision of those forces on one of the last free places on Earth.  And as violent and challenging as it was, why did people do it?  It’s a movie that explains to us through all the lenses a movie can provide.  The effect is simply magnificent and different from any other movie experience that I’ve ever seen in my lifetime.  I hope it works.  It’s a massive gamble by Kevin Costner to put his life’s work into a movie like this and a series meant exclusively to be seen in a movie theater.  Movie theaters need movies like this to stay open, and Costner is trying to start a trend.  But the timing of it couldn’t have come at a better time.  This is a movie for all of us, no matter what your political background.  And America deserves this story to be told for its benefit.  Because ultimately, it’s the main character and the point of the entire enterprise.

Steve Bannon is in Jail: Playing by the rules so the rules can be used the other way

It’s a bit of a head-scratcher watching many on the communist left celebrate Steve Bannon reporting to jail on July 1st, 2024.  What do they think is going to happen next? Indeed, even though we know they are, as I ask the question, they can’t be that short-sighted.  The charges they are putting Bannon in jail over, and this is a member of President Trump’s strategic team from the White House, the same contempt of congress charges that Eric Holder had, and now Merrick Garland, both attorney generals who have abused their power of the office, and are now susceptible to the same.  What are they thinking is going to happen to them now that Bannon is going to jail for four months, starting on July 1st and ending on Halloween, just a few days before the election in November?  The communist left thinks that by taking Bannon off the map for the rest of the election, they will hurt Trump in the election, which is the whole point of the effort.  But don’t they know now that they’ve done this to Bannon and many other Trump supporters that they have justified the same terms in their direction?  It was amazing to watch so many members of the media celebrate Bannon going to jail as if there were no tomorrow and that their grip on power had garnered some celebratory effort.  It was just as stupid as other communist movements in the world, such as when East Berlin used to shoot people trying to cross the Berlin Wall over into West Berlin.  Or in Cuba, where political outcasts were shot and killed, and people were jailed and murdered just for trying to get away from the communist government there.  We are discussing that with Bannon and his fellow White House friend, Peter Navarro.  And they are even looking to do the same to Trump.  What do these idiots think is going to happen next?

We’re talking about a group of people who chanted to lock up Hillary Clinton during the 2016 term of Trump in the White House.  The difference is that Trump’s administration did not lock up his political rivals for obvious crimes that they committed, which his supporters were very disappointed in.  But once Biden was in the White House, they didn’t hesitate to pull that trigger and put in jail their political rivals.  And they’ve done it so audaciously.  Don’t they know the only reason that we don’t have an armed civil war where their mangled bodies aren’t dragged through the streets for what they have done to this country is that Bannon is playing by the rules so that the rules can be used against these Biden administration perpetrators?  If it’s good to apply to us, then the same can be applied to them.  And they have done much worse.  These are not the kind of Republicans of the past.  We are replacing RINOs to have more people like Marjorie Taylor Green and less Paul Ryans.  We want to put Democrats in jail over spitting on the sidewalk, and they have done a lot more than that.  We want them punished severely.  By putting Bannon in jail, the very famous podcaster and media personality who did an excellent segment with ABC News before reporting to jail, they have given us every reason in the world to punish them severely.  We’re not talking about a nation that is willing to have its government taken from them and to sit quietly like a bunch of losers and wait for tyranny to happen.  We have proof of it now, and America wants to act in a way that brings justice to these vile criminals. 

There has never been a communist model that has worked.  The one in China is a propped-up culture built by globalism that only sustains itself through deceit. They try to control what gets out in the media, but things still get out.  That is the communist playbook to show that kind of control over the population, and the assumption is that in America, the same sort of thing will work.  I have nothing against the people of Asia, but Americans are wired differently.  They want and expect justice for crimes against their liberty, which is why “Lock Her Up” about Hillary Clinton was such an essential part of the campaign.  People, even back then, wanted revenge for what they knew to be wrong, and those were the good ol’ days when the government tried to provide an illusion of freedom, at least.  Before they went too far with Covid, the vaccine mandates, a stolen election, and now putting their political rivals in jail over made-up charges, the January 6th committee will be found to have been a violation of congressional authority, and history will remember the Bannon case as a clear case of executive immunity, because he worked directly for President Trump.  Legally, all kinds of things are wrong with Bannon’s case; under no circumstances should he spend one day in jail or a small fortune on his legal defense, as he has had to do.  Only to be put in prison like some common criminal and locked up by a system that thinks it’s in control.  No, and I have had many private discussions about what happens next.  And not by some slack-jawed losers, but with respected members of law enforcement.  All the people who listen to my conversations from the intelligence community know the details thoroughly.  There is only one outcome which will not suit the communists. 

Communism is the right word.  Before this ostentatious effort by the forces of global tyranny, which we have witnessed in all its desperation over these last few years, culminating in this jail sentence, is a communist regime disguised as the Democrat Party enforcing its captured power in all the worst ways possible.  And they think we won’t demand justice in worse ways against them.  They believe that an attorney general who righted all these wrongs wouldn’t happen with Trump back in the presidency.  With Trump, there won’t be a Jeff Sessions part two, or another Bill Barr.  Those were attorney generals Trump put in place to show the world that he wouldn’t abuse his power because people were critical of him because of what the MAGA public demanded.  Trump wanted to win another term and to bring the country together.  The communists were terrified that he might be successful, so they did what they did to exert control over the population, the same as they do in communist countries like China.  But in a second Trump term, it will be expected, especially now, to throw the law books at these members of the communist left and to purge them from our society without compassion.  People will not forget the way the Democrats celebrated jailing Steve Bannon and others.  And they will expect revenge, retribution, justice, whatever anybody wants to call it.  And it won’t come from Trump.  It will come from the people who put him back in office.  The people of America are unhappy, and that anger can’t be ignored or beaten down into submission.  And what happens next, which must occur, is unavoidable.  But believe me, it’s far better to beat our enemies with the rules than at gunpoint.  We’ll try that out as an option.  That’s why Steve Bannon went to jail willingly.  So that we can peacefully enact justice for these perpetrators.  But submission to them isn’t in the cards.  And they will be surprised by how much justice we all expect.  It won’t be long, and they won’t laugh as they did today.  Bannon can be nice and call it justice.  MAGA people can call it retribution.  I’ll call it revenge.  And they have it coming in large doses. 

Bannon earned his man card. Did the show right up to the moment he had to go to jail. That’s how you fight!

What Happens on the Day After: If we find out we don’t have a country

So……………that debate was so bad between Trump and Joe Biden that it left people wondering, what happens if we get through the election and Trump does not end up in the White House?  At this point, it’s obvious everyone is going to vote for Trump.  The Democrats should have never tried to put Joe Biden on stage for more than a few minutes.   He was a mess, a diabolical disaster, Joe Biden.  Going into the debate, Trump was ahead in the polling.  Coming out of the debate of June 27th, 2024, there will be no question.  Biden is the candidate of globalism, which means he’s a guy that the globalists think they can control, which is why they stuck with him for a puppet presidency.  And it has blown up in their faces, leaving the question, why did they put him up there?  They had this debate early, two months before their Democrat National Convention, so they could adjust and get another candidate while there was still time.  But honestly, there isn’t time.  Democrats are stuck with Joe, and now there is a lot of head-scratching from the come lately crowd.  It was never clearer how things should go in this upcoming election.  So people want to know what happens on the day after the election; what do they do if Trump isn’t elected back into the White House, even after the choice was as clear as this and people picked him overwhelmingly more than Joe Biden?  I would argue that this was indeed the case the first time around in 2020.  Biden did not get 81 million votes.  He was put in office, not elected by the people.  When it comes to globalism, it is not an unusual concept.  Joe Biden is good for globalism because they do not want a strong American leader.  And they think they are in charge of the world, especially the results of elections. 

Well, it’s not time yet to grab the guns and charge down the globalists who are behind this mess.  Don’t panic.  These are horrendously bad people who are power-hungry to extremely detrimental levels. For example, Jill Biden displayed after the debate to a wondering, aloof Joe Biden looking around aimlessly with a weird smile, a panic that startled a lot of people.  I would say this is what losing power looks like, and Democrats are losing it.  They wouldn’t have put him out there a long time ago if they had a better option.  But they didn’t because this is how they thought they could get away with all the globalist agenda criteria.  Most of the world has rigged elections.  The United States is unique in that we have stable law and order that isn’t easily toppled, but the Democrats have been caught trying to, and now ordinary, regular, everyday people see what’s going on, and they are going to vote for their own best interest.  But for the first time, the globalist, Deep State types won’t be able to trick people into providing them a cover of legitimacy behind policy disputes, as they have been doing for decades.  The communist left has a big problem, and yes, they will turn to violence to take power and hold power.  They have been rigging elections all over the world, and in the United States, they have been caught, and we are going to have to do something about it.  I would recommend working this out in Congress through legal means.  But if we find out that we don’t have a functioning government, which is what we are talking about, what will we do? 

I would say that this is precisely why we have the Second Amendment.  The only thing that has prevented an all-out war with firearms against communist insurgents is that they have been functioning from the perspective that they could always trick just enough people into following their radical agenda.   And who they couldn’t convince, they acquired through election fraud against an unsuspecting, well-meaning public.  But that’s gone now; there is no way to recover from that previous position.  The world, especially in America, will never return to what the Democrats had previously enjoyed.  They have lost the trust of the people.  Trump is a much more attractive candidate after that debate than before, and the process of trying to destroy Trump with all the weapons of an Administrative State has only revealed the game to the public that has always been going on.  So when the election is held, and if people don’t get Trump, when the pick will be so clear, then what?  Do we say, “Ah shucks, we gave it a nice try, now let’s return to our everyday lives?”  No, that won’t be the thing to do.  We’re going to have to take back our government from the control of these globalist insurgents by force.  It’s a promise we all make to pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America.  And we can’t give control of our government over to these globalist managers.  What they have done is nothing short of an attack on our country and all our lives, as hostile as any military attack in history.  And they have to pay for what they did.  They all have it coming, in as much of a menacing way as possible.  They did it to themselves. 

But what does that mean?  I would put it this way: this is precisely why we had to do what we had to do.  Keep your powder dry and expose all this in the way we have.  It’s much more exciting to go into these kinds of things with guns blazing and a clear winner of good guys and bad guys that can be written about in the context of history.  But we have to play by the rules if we want to win by the rules, and honestly, what we see is never supposed to happen.  By now, the globalists were hoping that there would be a civil war of violence in America so they could tip-toe into the background and hide in the mountains of Davos behind the mask of chaos.  Instead, they have to hide behind this fool Biden and be exposed for their tampering the way they were in this debate.  And if Trump had played anything differently, we wouldn’t know much of what we do know now.  The communist left is in trouble everywhere that globalism has stuck itself into.  They have also been exposed in America through the Biden presidency.  If there was doubt during Obama’s administration, or even the Bush administration, those doubts are now gone.  And the election is clear about how it should go.  And if we find out that we don’t control our elections, and they make a pick for us that we don’t want, we will have to get nasty about it, which we can afford to do because we have played by the rules entirely up to this point.  But the fact does not mean we surrender our country to globalist insurgents.  We have a right and obligation to control our country, and we will do so.  And if it turns to violence, it will be the fault of the communist left.  And I am personally ready for that.  But not before we exert every notion of the rule of law through the election process.  If they take that away from us, as they did in 2020, we must take it back with more than a patty cake sentiment.  But that will be on the day after and not before.

The Ten Commandments in Every Louisiana Public School is a Great Idea: I would say they should be in every government building

I would say almost everyone gets the Bible wrong.  Religion is often a weapon of the controller over the controlled, no matter where it has been contemplated.  To wash away the positive effects of the Bible but to keep the controlling aspects brought to us by the Roman Empire, the Bible spawned two of the world’s largest religions, Judaism and Christianity, and caused a response with Islam, another religion created to unify vast amounts of people toward a set of ideas that outside forces could easily control.  But the Bible by itself is much more than that, and I have always thought that removing the Ten Commandments from any government building, or society in general, was a terrible, progressive idea.  And all advocates for doing so should be punished for their intentional destruction of society.  The Bible is a fantastic book, and it is scary to think that if not for the Greeks, a very organized society that advanced itself with an empire of its own, without their power and purpose of civilization, the Bible under the Septuagint would have never survived the centuries.  The Bible is one of the rare, lost books to have survived that period, before the burning of the Library at Alexandria, and, astonishingly, we have access to it.  Wherever the values of the Bible have been followed, society has thrived in ways that good thinking tends to produce.  And at the core of that thinking is the Ten Commandments, or what I would call the keys to all foundation laws that can build a prosperous society.  What the Jews started with Moses was the essential ingredient to a positive, self-governed society, which is the root of all the success of America.  And that the enemies of America understand this, which is why they want to destroy the Bible and promote a society of godless heathens who worship at the feet of aristocrats and kings power hungry and corrupt beyond reason, and incredibly short-sighted on global affairs. 

This sets the stage for what we are seeing coming out of Louisiana by Governor Jeff Landry, who has signed a law requiring the display of the Ten Commandments in all classrooms in public schools.  I think that’s a fantastic idea, and I would go much further by requiring the Ten Commandments in every government building.  The Ten Commandments, as passed down to us through the Bible, have proven to give rise to a society that can build on itself and survive from one generation to another.  Before the Bible was widely printed and understood by individuals, society could not have shared values that did not come from a regional king or overlord.  So, the publication and dispersal of the Ten Commandments to mass audiences have been some of the most incredible things ever to happen to the human race, as far as individual empowered common cause is concerned.  It makes sense not to kill people.  It makes sense not to sleep with your neighbor’s wife or any wife but your own.  (and yes, you should have a wife or husband and build families as a personal possession)  You shouldn’t steal.  It would be best if you weren’t jealous of what other people have.  Even though common sense should guide your thoughts away from destructive behavior, the Ten Commandments were written down to share with a mass audience who have taken that common thinking and built several successful societies that last to this day.  And those who want to destroy those societies want to take away their strength, so they work against the Bible in any way they can.  That’s why any culture that works against the Bible and the values in it should be considered terrorist in their intentions and subversive and prosecutable.  This isn’t a debate.  History flushes out the correct thoughts quite righteously. 

I will never forget the reverence for Biblical value when I visited the Westgate Tower in Canterbury, England, and saw the jail cell where Robert Cushman, one of the first investors in the Mayflower voyage, was kept.  The Church of England was an oppressive group, and they were constantly at war with the Pope as Catholicism interpreted religious merit.  Cushman was a Puritan from the new Protestant movement, which the king of England was struggling with to maintain control, so as a street vendor and grocer, Cushman was thrown into the Westgate Tower to punish him for his religious beliefs.  The same kind of persecution we see today for the same reasons, such as Steve Bannon, Peter Navarro, and President Trump.  So, the Pilgrims fled England and Europe to pursue religious freedom and start their own colony, which would become the United States.  Whenever we talk about the separation of Church and State, this is the context everyone should understand.  Religious law is the foundation of our country.  Those who want to remove Biblical references, such as the Ten Commandments, wish to destroy the creation of the most prosperous nation in the world.  So, they are using the reason that America was created as a means of destroying America because people don’t understand the context of American law.  Without the Ten Commandments, there is no foundation for a law and order society governed by individual input.  Visiting that cell of Cushman in the Westgate Tower was one of the most inspirational things I have ever done and was much more significant than just a religious reference.  America started in that cell in the Westgate Tower, and thank goodness some people questioned the tyranny of their time from the churches of Europe like Robert Cushman. 

It doesn’t matter what religion people are in the world; they should thank existence that the Bible survived out of that period to be in our hands today.  And America has every right and obligation to put Biblical law at the center of our society.  The world can cry and whine because they don’t want what’s best for a free society.  Not even religious understandings work authentically on this matter as Cushman and his pilgrims fled the Church as a form of state control and used that same Bible as the foundation of their power and control.  But whenever forces are trying to remove the Bible from public consideration, you are looking at enemies seeking menace at the expense of personal freedoms, and that can’t be tolerated.  So, I’m a massive fan of what they are doing in Louisiana.  I’d like to see the Ten Commandments everywhere and much more often because the separation of church and state issue is a complete fiction by hostile agents of evil around the world.  America was created to separate the right to worship the Ten Commandments away from state control of religion in general, which is what they had in Europe at the time and caused many of the miseries that the world suffers from presently.  Such postures are purposeful in their intentions to destroy the human race if they do not fall under the compliance of the latest tyrant on the world stage.  Affirming the Ten Commandments is smart and is the first step toward a civil society that is productive and beneficial to all the individuals involved.  And the Bible itself is one of the most fabulous creations ever to survive.  And it should be revered much more than we do.  Because if we did, the world’s bad guys would become much clearer as a reference.  This is why they hate the Bible so much and seek its destruction as a public consideration.  They want to remain hidden and the Bible flushes them out, for all to see.

How Everyone on Earth Could Get Rich: A Space Economy with 16 Psyche’s 700 quadrillion dollars of Value–what a Trump/Ramaswamy Administration Could Start

The other day, I was talking to some very smart, rich, and well-credentialed people, that I thought was the kind of conversation that a lot of other people would benefit from.  The subject was Vivek Ramaswamy, why he should be the V.P. for Trump, and how he has a definite economic plan that will carry over well into 2028.  In the short run, it’s all about BlackRock’s destruction and strengthening the dollar from this global banking cartel of destroying it in favor of globalism, and for America to be great again, we needed to produce around 57 trillion dollars of value to pay off our national debt, and the lingering costs, and then some.  And where on earth were we going to get that kind of wealth?  That’s where things went sideways because I started talking about space.  Now, some of these people are very rich; some were PhDs and had several Master’s Degrees in various fields, from law to engineering, and they didn’t see a way out.  Their wealth had been built off the traditional model of real estate, where three generations watched the value of a property increase proportionally until everything flamed out and people couldn’t afford the new pricing structure.  Then, the economy collapses, and a new country takes over as the key destination.  Globalism has tried to set that scenario up to be China, and corporate communism has bet everything on that eventuality.  But I told them that space was where it was at.  I said we needed a divorce from globalism.  They said we need each other with interdependence; otherwise, everything would fall apart.  I told them that Vivek had an excellent economic plan to undo the work that BlackRock has done to the world and that while that was going on, SpaceX was going to refine its Starship craft so that in a few years, there would be two or three built every week, and they would be launching into space just as fast.  That left them all looking at me and asking why.

A space economy is a new frontier, and people do not yet see the benefits of it.  And I know that SpaceX isn’t just thinking of a space economy that will make America wealthy again.  Under a Trump/Ramaswamy administration, returning to an oil-based economy will solve most of our problems, quickly.  But what about after that?  They didn’t see why we would even go to space because there was nothing there.  Why would Elon Musk want to colonize Mars, the moon, or any place else?  Again, these are all brilliant, rich, and influential people.  And what I was talking about was science fiction to them.  At least until I told them about the asteroid between Mars and Jupiter called 16 Psyche, which has on its 150-mile surface over 700 quadrillion dollars in gold and precious metals.  And that’s just on one asteroid.  The next great gold rush will be in mining companies who can go to these asteroids, which Starship will make the whole experience very easy, and our entire national debt will be gone with a new value economy that the world is not prepared for.  America would be prosperous; and would forever take humanity deep into space with the wealth gained.  Legend has it that the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter used to be the planet Tiamat.  It was abundant in gold, and once it was destroyed, its occupants left and formed colonies on other planets, like Earth.  That is why all Earth cultures worship gold the way they do as a precious metal: because it is the subconscious reaction to the grief we all feel from our lost homeworld.  And that stories of Atlantis, Eden, and the foundations of all Earth cultures spawned from this lost knowledge.  This is about when everyone stopped eating and wondering if what I was saying was the next great thing or the utterances of insanity from someone who has read too many science fiction books. 

But what wasn’t in question was that 16 Psyche was a massive opportunity from a mining perspective.  We need precious metals on Earth for many reasons, not just direct monetary value, and going into space didn’t hurt anybody.  There were no indigenous people to exploit, as is the excuse of the first few gold rushes on Earth, such as the one where Spain raided Central and South America.  Then, in the western expansion, Americans found gold in California and ran through the Indians to get to it.  On 16 Psyche, there are no Indians or Aztecs.  It’s just a destroyed collection of rocks floating around in space.  You must land on them and pick up enough gold and platinum to fuel Earth’s economies for centuries with a few full payloads.  It’s relatively easy, and given the trajectory of SpaceX and their massive Boca Chica plant in Texas, they will have done their part within ten years.  Starship will be like a trucking line, always in space doing something.  To pay for those things, we know right now that there is plenty of gold and other metals of value to cover the costs.  But first, on earth, we have to put down all these Marxist plots meant to rule the world from the perspective of centralized banking and governments of communism to suppress any competition from limited resources.  The plan I was talking about would completely obliterate all those previous assumptions.  So I spoke about a very different future than they had feared, and they were at least listening. 

The key is to have a friendly administration in the White House and that all these fights between political ideologies have it out and destroy those who are holding back the human race.  There are way too many opportunities for the future to get hung up on anything.  And people like Vivek Ramaswamy get it.  He’s the future face of America, and under this next Trump administration, he’ll be able to shape economic policy with the kinds of opportunities in mind that I was talking about, with a space economy.  And many of the miseries we are experiencing today will be long gone tomorrow if we are smart and play our cards right.  The best thing we could all do is use Trump’s celebrity status to put people like Vivek Ramaswamy in a position to free the lost talent deeply suppressed in the global marketplace and expand the human intellect of the planet and into new horizons for good.  And what I was saying was not science fiction, but are the opportunities for tomorrow, today.  The future is not way out there anymore.  We are living it now, and all it will take to uncover it are some bold personality types to unleash the best that human beings can bring to thought.  We see that unleashed at the SpaceX facility in Texas in many ways.  What they are doing and an excellent economic platform for the next Trump administration are opportunities for infinite enthusiasm.  And we will quickly outpace the communist detriments of globalism driven by aristocrats and not dollars and sense.  Their power is wholly based on limited resources to stay in control.  I mentioned to this group that there was so much wealth that every human being on planet Earth could be very wealthy.  And our future would be out there, not right here.  And while that might rattle previous assumptions, it’s right in front of our faces to grab onto.  If only we dare to do so.

All Mobs and Riots Should Be Prosecuted: They are not expressions of ‘free speech,’ but ‘disturbing the peace’

If there is a lesson we should have learned by now, color revolutions don’t just happen.  They are not First Amendment protests protected by the Constitution; they are occurrences of “disturbing the peace” and should be prosecuted—all of them.  The people who advocate for them should be prosecuted to the furthest extent of the law, and their behavior should not be tolerated in the least, especially if they impact the traffic and enjoyment of the life of other people.  Riots in the streets and all mob activity are provoked into action by the kind of communist radicals who want to use discomfort and terrorism to drive a political narrative that people usually wouldn’t choose for themselves, and if left alone, people don’t think such things.  They don’t think to gather and protest some issues under anger and a show of mass force.  People falsely assume that such things are part of the American life, the life of expressing themselves as a democracy, a people who freely rule themselves.  But all those occurrences are violations of the Republic for which we indeed are, and not some flee-bitten socialist country as they have in Europe where the masses are blown upon by hidden powers from the shadows to express their discontent publically, in the form of flash mobs, burnt buildings, overturned cars, and even worse.  We have a representative republic where we vote for our people to run the government.  If we don’t like their job, we can vote them out.  Color revolutions and violent mobs intend to inflict fear, cause work stoppages, and enforce social change through dissatisfied people who want things to happen faster and more radically than our election process allows.  Ultimately, the participants wish for more from the government’s power than just the routine maintenance of their lives from a distance.  They wanted to force the power of government to do some menace, and there was never any good from the communist activity inspired by Karl Marx’s pages. 

Ultimately, the bill for these social enterprises goes straight to the door of some liberal billionaire and has for years, including the first sign of college riots in the 1940s and 1950s.  Even going back to the labor movement of the 1800s, mobs of collective protest would gather together to show their force of collective action against something they wanted to change, and the threat was by a show of force.  The problem is that people do not do these kinds of things by themselves.  A shadowy few always inspire them.  Where do people know where to gather and protest? Who prints the signs and puts up the social media posts?  It’s not the organizers, that is for sure.  It’s the people who blow into their ears who start all these protests, and those whispers come from the political shadows of hostile agents of the American way of life.  It’s not a right or privilege to shut down a highway.  Or block traffic with hundreds or thousands of losers carrying a sign trying to stir the public toward some social issue.  The purpose of the force is to insight fear with the masses to change a law and order society from the logic of contemplative thought.  The goal is to wear down the boldness and resolution of a society based on laws and to change those assumptions into fearful appeasement of the mobs in question.  And those mobs never just happen.  They are provoked, created, and sponsored by domestic enemies of the peace, and it’s time we admit this to ourselves and prosecute the behavior.  And stop assuming we have some ridiculous commitment to the practice because we never learned the nature of civics.  It’s not a First Amendment expression of a free society.  It’s disturbing the peace. 

All those riots that we saw during the Trump administration were planned hostilities intended to commit harm to our nation and its people with a promise of violence.  They didn’t occur organically.  The protests over police brutality and other issues of race had nothing to do with the victims perpetrated by communist revolutionaries who have taken over poor neighborhoods of color and nationality, who function from tempers and not logic. They are an exploited people meant to do the dirty work of hostile terrorists to America in general, and their purpose during Trump’s term, and what they are planning to do this next time, is to use fear to provoke legislation to preserve their liberal world order, not the logic of a free people working together to run a republic.  Riots and mobs intend to replace logic with fear and anxiety and to topple legislation to appease chaos.  All organized mobs are incidents of disturbing the peace and are attempts to overthrow our elected government, and they must be prosecuted to the greatest severity that the law allows.  The riots we saw with Trump came from the communist left; they didn’t organically form out of self-expression.   They were organized to inflict misery on logic and to scare society into supporting communist left causes through default, and it is time we recognize the practice for what it is, going back to all mass protests in America and all other places in the world.  Riots and mobs are made; they don’t form.  People don’t just sit down and plan them.  They are provoked and built into our culture through the communism of Karl Marx’s work in Europe, which the rest of the world adopted, thinking they were expressions of free speech.  They never work out that way; they are disturbances of sovereign people purposely perpetrated to take away those freedoms through the illusion of mass compliance.

We have to talk about this because we’re going to see a lot of desperate Democrats in the months to come.  Not just from all these Supreme Court cases that have not gone in their direction, they will form up mobs to inspire fear in the courts to rule away from the Constitution and for the communist organizers of flash mobs and violent thugs.  And, of course, once they expire all their legal warfare against Trump and the MAGA march continues and grows, they will turn toward the barely masked occurrences of mobs to promise violence to those who surrender their logic to the power of mass social discourse backed by a promise of social unrest.  And that is against the law and is prosecutable.  Just like a bunch of teenage kids can be arrested for playing music too loud in their cars, mobs of losers can be prosecuted for violating the personal rights of thousands of people who find their peace disturbed by hostile agents of doom.  And whores to a social order where minority communist insurgents working from a billionaire status of resources fund these expressions of chaos from the comfort of their offices and living rooms while dumb fools who don’t know any better hit the streets in a show of force thinking because they aren’t brilliant, that they are participating in Constitutional expressions of the First Amendment when in reality they are criminals harming others and their peaceful existence.  And many people from the first Trump term have yet to be punished.  And they are planning all that and more during a second term.  Isn’t it interesting that most riots have disappeared during Biden’s term?  Why do you think that is?

Supreme Court’s Ruling on Bump Stocks: Without unregulated gun ownership, you can’t have a civil society

Here’s the deal, everyone: gun control is not a thing.  Restricting people’s access to guns by government controls is never going to be a thing in America.  The Bump Stock Ban that was initiated by President Trump during his term, as a bone to the communist left, is an excellent example as the Supreme Court ruled against the banning of the device that simulates automatic fire from semi-automatic weapons, as used in the Las Vegas shooting where innocent concert dwellers were pummeled with gunfire, and many were killed needlessly.  Immediately in reaction to the shooting, the communist left was looking for gun control legislation and a rules-based attack on the Second Amendment, and President Trump caved, thinking that if he threw them a bone, they’d be happy and go away.  That is how we have ended up with a lot of dumb laws and legal interpretations over the years and how the communist left has sought to undermine our entire society.  News flash, we don’t want to be like those crappy European countries, or like Australia, New Zealand, or any country that has lots of gun laws and bans on weapons.  It doesn’t surprise me that the Supreme Court voted 6-3 to leave the ban because the Second Amendment isn’t there as a right granted to the public; it’s there to limit the government’s powers over the people.  And we know now, more than ever, that the government is far more dangerous than guns in society.  Without guns, the government spirals out of control detrimentally, and corruption is soon to follow because they don’t fear the people.  The government needs to fear the people they work for.  Without guns, there is no respect because the government has all the power.  Guns are essential to keep all the human temptations toward sinful behavior regulated not out of respect but out of self-preservation.  And that Supreme Court finally gets it, as they are ruling on more issues that are just as logical.

All mass shootings need to be investigated as actions of government involvement.  Much like they did with the Kennedy assassination, where they pick a loner with all kinds of crazy thoughts and steer them through various means toward an action they want done, is a common problem.  The FBI has a lot to answer to, as does the CIA.  They have a lot to explain about the Las Vegas shooter, which they have never bothered with.  They can’t be trusted to order a pizza, let alone investigate mass shootings, which they often have their hands all over, hoping to create mass carnage in hopes that people will be scared into voting for more gun control.  We have seen ruthlessness of all governments, especially in the United States in recent years, that demonstrates a willingness to kill innocent people to advance political narratives.  And when it comes to all mass shootings, most of the time, they are not so spontaneous.  A tip-off trail is usually there for all to see, such as the trans shooter in Nashville.  But nobody ever stops the event from happening, and immediately after the shooting, we have the communist left demanding more gun control as if we could trust a centralized government that was behind such atrocities, such as COVID-19, for instance, with our very lives.  No thanks; we don’t need the government to act like our long-lost parents.  Just build highways, have a military, issue our driver’s licenses, and shut the hell up and mind your own business.  We don’t want kings and aristocrats ruling over us and deciding what we can and cannot have.  And we need guns to make sure the government doesn’t feel like it can get too pushy.  Because when they think people don’t have guns, they always, 100% of the time, abuse their power.

And this Bump Stock thing was a Trump deal, and people were still against it.  Yes, people still support Trump and will happily vote for him again.  But from the beginning, we knew the Supreme Court would rule this way because it’s the only way to rule.  Only an activist court not following the Constitution would think otherwise.  All these other armpit countries out there in the world would do a lot better if they had a set of laws like we do in the United States, with our Constitution.  However, we have a Constitution in America, and the Second Amendment is one of the critical foundations of law that cannot be tampered with.  Bump Stocks and much more must be available to a population to keep the government from getting too far over their skis in grabs for power.  Just because President Trump supported the ban doesn’t mean people unthinkingly follow some leaders.  Trump got it wrong, as he got a lot of things wrong.  He was suckered by the communist left, in much the way that Dr. Fauci and Bill Gates suckered him over the Covid bioweapon.  It wasn’t just January 6th that was an inside job; most public violence is caused by the government, in service to the government, to trick people into giving the government more power.  And when those same people suckered Trump, most of the public understood what was happening.  That’s why we have a Supreme Court, to provide a backstop to much of this unconstitutional insanity by hostile agents of big government loons seeking problems to advance their social menace. 

Philosophically speaking, I don’t think you can have a civil society without a heavily armed public.  The Second Amendment was never meant for hunting.  It was meant to keep humanity’s greed in check as they moved into government positions and had to stave off the temptations to abuse their power.  There has never been an instance in human history where too much power in the hands of government worked out for the people being governed.  The United States was never created to be like other countries; it was meant to be unique, so we have always been reluctant to get involved in other people’s wars.  We are isolationists because the rest of the world is too stupid to push away their governments and demand their freedom from the tyranny of the corrupt.  We’re talking about the same world that killed Socrates for corrupting the youth.  Who conspired to kill Julius Caesar by insurrectionists in the senate.  And conspirators who killed Jesus Christ just for existing.  It’s not an accident that America has the highest GDP in the world; it’s because the government hasn’t been allowed to stop people’s ambitions in life.  And you can bet, without the Second Amendment, that America would be like they tried to make it with Covid, a power-hungry government that would seek to micromanage the whole world and get in the way of everything, and attempt to rule through fear wherever possible.  An unarmed society would be a victim to government under such conditions, and the only reason we have not yet fallen to such a fate is because we have the Second Amendment.  Because there are more guns than people, and the largest army in the world is the private one shared by property ownership by American citizens.  So it’s great that the Supreme Court saw the obvious.  But that’s just the tip of an iceberg of rulings that must be turned the other way because they were created without the Constitution to limit the government’s powers.  And that’s just how it is and will continue to be.

Sodomizing a 17-Year-Old Girl in the Butler County Jail: When all the adults let down kids

The trouble with stories like this one is that I like many of the people involved.  But here’s the thing, and this goes for all adults: it is a privilege to have the trust of children, and they need us to help guide them into their first functions in life.  The wonderful thing about kids is that they have their whole lives in front of them, so I think trade schools like Butler Tech do great things by giving kids specific skills that will launch them into life.  I am very supportive of Butler Tech in my neighborhood as I live within a few miles of their three major campuses and know many of the people who run it personally.  Putting kids in contact with a valuable skill, or skills in technical fields, is a great way to start in life, so I am very supportive of Butler Tech in Butler County, Ohio, and their mission.  But often, intent does not match reality, and by the time you start putting a bunch of lazy slugs into the mix you end up moving from a dream of conception to a nightmare reality and that is what we learned about on a national story from the Louder with Crowder Show who unraveled an alarming story of national importance right in our back yard, yet again.  Why can’t the adults in these schools behave themselves?  Wait, I know the answer, I’m just being rhetorical. 

So this wasn’t a one-time, oops, where a young 17-year-old girl, who was an intern for the Butler Tech criminal justice program, was left alone with inmates at the Butler County Jail.  This was a systemic problem day in and day out where nobody was managing the poor kid even as she was being exposed to hardened criminals and murderers, freely.  And the best answer to come from Tony Dwyer was, “Well, she’ll be 18 soon, and we hire 18-year-olds at the jail.”   The permissive attitude is going on at the jail where this young lady was able to have sexual relationships with at least two of the inmates and send letters to the extent that they wanted to marry her and were claiming her as their own over the other inmates.  And the sex went to such an extent that she was sodomized, which was all indicated in letters to her from the inmates.  The first problem is that she, as a criminal justice intern, was so unsupervised that she had time to build up all these relationships that led to so much sex.  Obviously, nobody was watching what was going on, and if they did know about it, they were so brain-dead that the atmosphere of permissiveness was a long way away from community expectations.  What was pathetic was that once the Louder with Crowder report hit the national news, all the news outlets from traditional media made the story all about the contraband she helped smuggle into the jail.  Very few news outlets caught the actual crime of the story, in how the Butler Tech structure left this poor kid completely unsupervised and exposed to all these dangerous elements over a sustained period.  This relationship building between the student and these inmates went on for a long time, and once caught, nobody seemed to be responsible, and the only person who got into trouble was the little girl.  They are prosecuting her for smuggling in contraband to the inmates and other poor conduct. The responsibility was the other way around; all the adults who were supposed to teach her criminal justice let her down detrimentally.  And they all embarrassed us in our community by making a good thing bad on a national stage. 

Upon hearing this story, I first thought that Julie Shaffer was now on the board at Butler Tech, along with many other presidents of school boards from our local region.  Lakota schools are the closest to these Butler Tech facilities, so she is just one of the guiding voices on the board.  But all this happened recently, in March of 2024.  Julie just won an election, even though people know about the stories of her out-of-control drinking in public, the loss of clothing at educational events, and being found in embarrassing and compromising ways.  People voted for her anyway, and she played a crucial role in using lawfare to eliminate school board members she didn’t like, who were elected by the community.  And she hasn’t just done that once recently, but on several occasions.  When people make mistakes, she has used those mistakes to pound them into destruction, and she is one of the guiding voices at Butler Tech.  So when we see teachers who fall short of expectations, which we have in this case, it all starts from the top, from the board members.  They all love to play house and use the kids to make themselves feel important.  But when it comes time to take responsibility for anything, everyone else always has the problem.  Never them.  But when the question is asked, why did Butler Tech’s teachers think it was all right to let 17-year-old girls run around in the general population of a county jail unsupervised? Julie Shaffer and the board members are the first to be responsible.  They love the authority of board positions and to be called leadership.  But when someone needed to look out for the well-being of this young girl, they blamed the girl.

Julie has advocated for all kinds of permissive sexual lifestyles, most recently the whole superintendent controversy at Lakota.  No wonder the staff and teachers have such permissive attitudes about sex, especially after the excuses the Lakota school board had while they tried to keep their superintendent even after the public learned about his reckless sexual lifestyle.  They even helped him find another job.  So what could go wrong when many of these same people were responsible for putting a 17-year-old kid in jail unsupervised with murderers and sexual deviants?  All the adults wanted to say to the public was that there was a program to teach kids about criminal justice by giving them access to real-world scenarios.  They left the whole sodomizing out of the story, and when the rest of the news reported the story, it was all to protect the adults from their responsibility in the matter.  It became all about contraband, while sex with minors was pushed entirely to the back of consideration.  And that is the problem with all these education institutions these days; they are entirely too permissible about sexual lifestyles to the point where they can’t see right from wrong, even right in front of their faces.  Is sex that easy in jail?  Who runs these places?  Why do inmates get to call people all the time?  And how could a young girl walk around jail and go behind closed doors and have sex with so many people, and the guards didn’t do anything about it?  And when an independent journalist breaks open the story, the only person, all the adults, wanted to blame was the kid they were supposed to be teaching?  You have to be kidding?  Yet, that is what we are dealing with, and it isn’t very encouraging.  Extremely embarrassing.  When adults have permissive attitudes about anything, this is the result we end up with.  And all these adults, in this case, were way too permissive, and they have let down so many kids who are looking for real mentors to show them the way in life.  In the case of this young girl, they showed her the ugliest side of life and threw her into the deep end, only to blame her when it all went wrong.  How pathetic!

Bird Flu is the Next United Nations Bioweapon: We know what they did with Covid, and now the food supply is their next target

We are getting ready to see a level of insanity that has always been a part of the Democrat Party, the communist left, that we’ve never seen before.  They always had the capacity for evil to do what they do, but we will see the worst of them in 2024 as it becomes more evident that they will lose power.  And I say that in the future state because the only way they have gained and held power is through deception in the years leading up to now.  And they can’t maintain that illusion without deception.  So they are losing control and will lose their ability to have power over other people, and the wheels came off during COVID-19.  They went all in with the Chinese bioweapon from Wuhan, sponsored by the United States and a whole list of whores from Bill Gates’ money supply, along with many others, and they killed a lot of people, harmed many others, and ruined all our lives which many are still digging out of.  At this point, more people are willing to admit all that than at any previous point because it’s such an evil concept that most would have never thought it was even possible, even as it was happening.  And that is what the communist left was counting on: people would be slow to recognize the threat, and by the time they did, the world would be functioning from a “New Normal” after the World Economic Forum’s “Great Reset.”  I’ll repeat it now, as I did then, well before the Trump administration figured out what was happening.  Even Rush Limbaugh, Alex Jones, Tucker Carlson, and all the other popular talk show hosts hadn’t caught on to it yet early in 2020 when we first heard about the bioweapon virus.  On day one of the COVID-19 virus, I said it was an attack on a scale bigger than Pearl Harbor.  And that was how we should have been looking at it.  So I was always right about Covid, and with that track record, I offer that bit of history so that people won’t be suckered again.

Bird Flu is the next bioweapon that the communist left is planning to use to have a COVID-19 part II.  And, of course, they have no other choice as they watch the world turn away from them by the masses.  I think all this is good because these bad guys needed to be smoked out of society in ways they have always been concealed.  And you can see the trends in the cross tabs of polling that have them in a panic.  More people of color are supporting Trump, for instance, than anybody thought possible.  And it’s not older people; it’s the under-50 crowd, which is a big problem for Democrats.  Also, regarding deportation politics, over 50% of Hispanics support that nationalized measure, which was a surprise to many who thought that once illegal immigrants were here, they would support all their friends and families, too, coming in the same manner.  However, most support enforcing border policy away from the current open border strategy.  The communist left is finding themselves surprised at every turn; things are not turning out as they academically planned, and now their fingers have been caught in all kinds of cookie jars, poisoning the cookies.  They will lose on the world stage, not just in American elections, and things will improve.  But there will be a lot of violence and chaos in the meantime because most of these people are complicit in many crimes and the mass death of millions of people, and they have to be punished.  I think it’s good because, at least finally, people have seen the evil behind the friendly masks, and all this horrible activity has inspired them to act toward justice.

And I would caution you, dear reader, I’ll say the same thing to you now that I told John Boehner when he was Speaker of the House, and he laughed like I was just another local conspiracy theorist, anything from the United Nations and its partners, like the World Economic Forum, and the World Health Organization need to be considered military endeavors.  I was right then, and I’m right now.  It was people like Boehner, my neighbor, who made us vulnerable to these attackers, to begin with.  They represent global communism and are on a military effort to take over the world and destroy the United States with the most powerful weapons the world has ever known: propaganda.  Another act of aggression that people have been slow to act on even when the evidence was abundant.  Everything they propose should be considered hostile to the sovereignty of the United States because they do not intend anything good for our national sovereignty.  And their biggest weapon to date was Covid.  What they did with it was no different than dropping bombs on an enemy city in previous wars to force a country to submit to the new threats of power.  It is what Genghis Khan did as a warlord, what Alexander the Great did to expand the Greek empire, what Nebuchadnezzar did to expand the Persian empire, what England and Hitler did, and what has been behind every attempt at global communism since Karl Marx wrote down his collectivist vision on pages of paper and international unions and secret societies sought to expand those management methods of central force community to community.  COVID was their grand fortissimo of thousands of years of attempting to build an international empire controlled by a few elite dominators.  Only this time, it was disguised by hiding the attackers behind white lab coats and academic institutions.  But the greed and power were no different than what we have seen from the worst tyrants of the entire human race.  And in 2024, it’s the Bird Flu that will be deadlier and more transmissible, and a way to hopefully get away from the punishment for their crimes that is coming their way by killing off those that might have the courage to prosecute them.

The giveaway to the effort is the gain-of-function research that made the Covid virus transmissible to humans when it would typically only be regulated to bats in the Wuhan region.  This is why Dr. Fauci and his subordinates are in so much trouble and deserve to be; they made the virus that was natural–unnaturally transmissible to humans.  And for them, it was an experiment because Covid 19 wasn’t very deadly.  It was a practice run for them and a test to see how the world would react.  They didn’t want to kill everyone, just the elderly and weak, which is precisely what they did.  What they did was another form of mass murder disguised as science and economic tampering.  And they had the governments of the world dancing at their fingertips with billionaire money given loosely to build a compliant team of murderers.  The danger with the Bird Flu is that the attack vector looks to be the food supply of the world, so you can starve the human race and force them to pharmaceutical alternatives.  And by creating such a crisis, they hope to avoid an organized world that will prosecute them for their many past sins.   And you can bet they will try because they have no choice.  They either turn to open mass murder, or they are going to be prosecuted by an angry society for what they have already done.  And before they let go of power, they will do everything they can to use it to save themselves from a world made angry and look for much-justified revenge.

The Failure of Bob Livingston and Newt Gingrich: Once you give up moral authority, you lose it forever

I’ve told the story of meeting Newt Gingrich before and how my wife completely insulted him as he reached out to greet her.  However, the context of current events merits revisitation because clarity has to be made as to why that event occurred in the first place.  We are seeing now why politics has changed, why people feel the way they do about Trump, and how the political left has lost forever a trust they abused recklessly.  And so did Republicans.  It goes back a few years for us, back in the 1990s.  My wife and I were young back then but every bit as involved in politics, and I was deeply involved in the antics of the Clinton administration. When he got in trouble for lying under oath over the Monica Lewinsky affair, we knew we had him dead to rights.  Even carrying around his little Bible wasn’t going to save him.  He was going to be removed from office and even possibly thrown in jail, and at that time, Bill Clinton deserved it.  It would have destroyed the Clinton global initiatives, which opened the door later for Barack Obama’s communism, and would have saved the nation a lot of headaches if only they had destroyed Bill Clinton when they had a chance.  Bob Dole was the head of the Senate, and Newt Gingrich was the Speaker of the House.  Things were poised well for Republicans.  Bill Clinton had done wrong with his affair with legal gymnastics that were not going to save him, and we knew the blood in the water meant the end of the Democrat Party.   But then the mistakes were made, and Slick Willy, as Clinton would be called, and the family name would stay with politics, bringing in an era of mob-style politics in the Democrat Party that has brought our nation to its knees now permeated the next two decades once these mistakes were made.  And those mistakes were and are unforgivable. 

The mistake is old, where outrageous evil thrown in front of Puritans locks them up to action, allowing the evil to grow even more, which is a Saul Alinsky tactic.  The mob and Larry Flynt challenging the Supreme Court on First Amendment rights perpetuated this evil, but it was that kind of time when Bill Clinton was caught in so much scandal for the sexual relationship that he lied about to all of us, under oath, which was the actual crime, had the media come to his defense much the way they had with Larry Flynt on the charges on smut peddling.   The media turned the whole story into a sexual one rather than a legal one, and the entire case moved from a crime to the behavior of two people, in the case of the Clintons, most of Washington D.C., behind closed doors.  That’s when the wheels came off the Republican case, starting with the tough guy Newt Gingrich and his second in command, Bob Livingston.  To defend Clinton, Larry Flynt put up a 1-million-dollar bounty on anybody who had slept with a Republican in Congress and that they would be exploited as hypocrites.  The media story about “it’s just about sex” began to swing the other way unbelievably, and my wife and I watched the Republican Party completely lose on the issue when they had all the moral and legal high ground needed to preserve justice.  It slipped right through their fingers because the head of Congress, Newt Gingrich, had been found out to have had an affair with one of his interns. At the same time, his wife was sick with cancer in the hospital, And his do-gooder second in command, Bob Livingston, had an affair with an intern too, and it was exposed, marking him and other Republicans as forever tarnished. Much of that brand damage still occurs today.  When people wonder why Trump, a guy who has been married three times, is leading the conservative movement, it started with soul searching during these critical years in the 1990s.  

Of course, Bill Clinton got off the hook, and the whole story became about hypocritical Republicans who couldn’t keep their pants on. That’s when the entire RINO movement started, and the party needed to be purged of them.  Newt left office in disgrace.  Bob Livingston had to resign, and he did so to inspire Clinton to do the same.  Of course, Democrats don’t feel guilty about anything.  So the reaction from Clinton was essentially, “I’m good; Hillary likes to watch me have sex.  So go suck on that.”  Hillary enjoyed her husband’s affairs; she controlled him with them the way people who like to have dirt on people love such information.  It was the closest Hillary ever became to being President when she could push her husband around every time he got caught with another woman.  She was herself a sexual deviant.  But she enjoyed the power such knowledge gave her over her husband and president.  So the whole thing came up flat and embarrassing because Republicans couldn’t live up to the lofty image they presented to the public when it counted most.  To this day, it’s much worse, and most people can’t have an opinion on morality because they are out there doing the same embarrassing stuff, and the FBI, CIA, and many members of the media know all about it.  So when it comes time to have an opinion, Republicans can’t express it because many times they are just as dirty as Democrats.

Fast forward about 20 years, and my wife and I talked to Newt Gingrich; I shook his hand and spoke to him a bit.  He’s a brilliant political commentator.  And I can talk to people politely and find something to like about them.  Find some valuable attributes to them that can be used politically.  My wife can’t.  If a person is not authentic, she wants nothing to do with them.  She was still mad at Newt Gingrich and Livingston, who had gone on to become a power lobbyist, indicating that he was a party guy in D.C., not a rock of morality, and my wife couldn’t forgive any of them for compromising the Republican Party.  To her point, we didn’t live that way; why couldn’t Republicans in elected office resist the temptations of the flesh and decadence to keep the party on the moral high ground?  Why give that up for anything?  Yet they did, and she refused to shake Newt’s hand when it was just the three of us at an event, making it very awkward for me.  But I understood my wife’s position, and ultimately she was right.  Many Republicans, even now, cannot speak on moral issues because they are committing violations of the flesh as much as anybody.  And God’s forgiveness isn’t enough to save our country.  That’s a lot of the reason we are in the position we are in now, and so much evil has been allowed to grow.  It’s not enough to have opinions about smaller government and taxes and have a pro-business platform.  You must be a good person to your family, community, and country.  And so many officeholders fall short.  And when they do, my wife and I have never forgiven them.  I have lower expectations of people than she does.  But that doesn’t make her wrong.  If only Livingston and Gingrich could have maintained lofty morality when the temptations of the flesh permeated their conduct, the world would be much better off now.  And we wouldn’t have to fight as hard as we do to undo those sins of the past.  Once you give up your moral authority, you can never get it back, and such authority is needed for running a government, which is missing now.
