It’s George Ratterman All Over Again: What the political left has lost, they have lost it forever

No matter how scary it might look, the truth of the matter came out in the Robert De Niro statement that he gave during the closing arguments during the Trump trial in New York, the Alvin Bragg case operating out of the White House in a meager attempt to keep Trump out of the presidential election.  The old rules aren’t working, and as I watched De Niro panic because of the heckling that was going on all around him by Trump supporters, you could tell that all these big lefties weren’t prepared for this world.  Yes, they are panicking, and as I said of the Biden administration, when the best card you have is De Niro, an actor who gets paid to say what other people think of, and this phony court case that will be overturned on appeals embarrassing all who instigated it, you have big problems.  The thing I thought of most was the George Ratterman case in Newport, Ohio, where the mob put knockout drops in his drink, placed him unconsciously in an uncompromising position with a stripper, and took pictures of him to turn the public against the famous Notre Dame quarterback who became sheriff.  People were wise to those old tricks and didn’t have the politeness of humiliation anymore.  And they were ready to fight it out in the streets with these Antifa thugs and any other malcontents that the radical left had in mind.  And when we say “leftists,” we are talking about supporters of the Karl Marx philosophy and other anti-American viewpoints.  Before Trump came along, the left was already losing its power of manipulation; the Obama administration did that.  Polite society told us that he was the first black president, and we had to prove that we weren’t racists by electing him.  In reality, Barack Obama was a product of the Weather Underground, specifically Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, the former cheerleader and graduate of Miami University.  And they were seeking to destroy America from the inside out. 

Books have been written about these observations, and after a few decades of the behavior, America is finally turning away from the mechanisms of evil that come from the radical left political mentality, and that is obvious in the continued support of President Trump.  What is really embarrassing is that the Democrats who represent Marxism in America by name have put so much into these cosmetic tricks.  Just as the mob did with Ratterman.  Through Saul Alinsky, the left had learned to copy mob tactics in their political crusades, most notably led by Hillary Clinton all through the 90s and up to the election of President Trump.  Suppose anybody wants to understand why Trump was elected in 2016. In that case, they need to look at the origin of this mobster mentality left over from Saul Alinsky’s study of Al Capone in Rules for Radicals.  Americans did not want their politics to resemble the mob, and they have been turning away from the left over the last three decades.  Even with the Biden administration putting their whole campaign on this legal case against Trump, to the public, it’s just George Ratterman all over again.  Or any number of similar victims who tried to do well against the organized crime elements of mass society and found themselves in some lawfare battle by captured assets, which Alvin Bragg certainly is connected to the Biden administration so intimately.  When the thuggish tricks no longer work, what will the mob do? I do mean mob because that’s what these government gangsters are.  Instead of regional collectivism organizing to make easy money off the innocent, these personalities moved into government to control their money flow nationally and even internationally.  But they are still thuggish mobsters.  No different than the losers who drugged George Ratterman and took uncompromising pictures of him with a stripper and expected the public to turn away from him.   They didn’t.  Instead, they rallied behind the Newport Sheriff just as people will do with Trump.

You can tell they know this now but have nothing else in the playbook.  What the political left had, they have now lost forever.  Any trust people might have given them is now gone due to their massive abuses of power.  This Biggs case in New York is just the latest.  But over time, the many lies they have told, the extortion, the thuggish bullying of good people, people are long over it.  The political left has lost the trust of the public, and they aren’t ever going to get it back.  For all the reasons that the mob had to go underground and lay low, the Democrats are going to have to do the same.  Only, as a public party that requires public support, there is no underground.  Marxism moved into America as an underground movement.  The Weather Underground by Ayers and Dohrn is just one example, and that they were able to commit terrorist activity and be promoted into polite society as teachers at universities instead of going to jail tells you how deeply the underground Marxist movement has been.  But under the Clintons in the 90s, those old communist radicals made their move, and they slid Obama under the door, for which Biden is a continuation of those policies, and this is their all-in political movement.  They moved from underground to mainstream, and they are now experiencing mass rejection.  That is their fault. 

The political left took their chance and tried to force people into a political sentiment of communism, and the economy has tanked, as we all said it would.  Now, they are experiencing massive rejection due to the continued support of President Trump.  People don’t want the world they are offering, just as the communists of East Berlin never understood why people wanted to run from their communist government.  Or the many migrants to Miami, Florida, who ran from the Castro of communism there.  Those same personalities are behind the Biden administration and support these court cases against Trump.  And people don’t like it.  And now that it’s all out in the open, the political left will never be able to put their movement back into an underground status.  People are ready to run them out of America, and they can only blame themselves.  That sentiment trajectory was well in place before there was ever a Trump.  They are lucky to have Trump because their alternatives are much worse.  But the lefties, like De Niro, can’t look themselves in the mirror and blame what looks back, so they don’t see the obvious.  The support of Trump is a rejection of them and their Marxist backing.  The world does not want Marxism internationally.  And the left is looking for someone to blame other than themselves.  But people don’t like to be pushed around and told what to do, which were lessons that should have been learned during the mob days before those personalities hid themselves behind government power.  They never learned their lessons, and now they are paying for them.  And what they’ve lost as to public trust is now gone forever.  De Niro and others panic because the writing is on the wall, just as Nebuchadnezzar saw.  Anger at the prophets of history won’t change the result.  And the political left is finally getting the payback that they long deserved.  And crying like a bunch of babies won’t preserve their power.  They have lost it for good.

Foreign Money in Ohio, The Rest of the Story: Why Governor DeWine wants Joe Biden on the Ohio ballot

Why would Governor DeWine push to get Joe Biden on the ballot in Ohio?  Why would Republicans again work to help out their political rivals while the other side is willing to cheat, steal, manipulate, and put in jail any of us?  When I first heard about DeWine calling a special session of the House in Ohio to resolve this matter, my first thought was, “No wonder we lose all the time as Republicans.”  And this isn’t the first time DeWine would let me down, acting more like a Democrat than a Republican.  I’m not a fan of Mike DeWine or any of the DeWines, for that matter, even in the Supreme Court in Ohio.  They are way too liberal for me.  But as the media was going crazy with the irony, I was getting more to the story from many people coming straight out of Columbus.  As I learned more, the smoke started to clear, and I found that this is a position in which I support DeWine.  We want Joe Biden to appear on the Ohio ballot for several reasons.  One big one is that Bernie Moreno and J.D. Vance want it because they don’t want to frustrate any Democrat turnout that will turn in their direction.  Bernie has a tough race with Sharrod Brown for the Senate, and Brown is a deeply entrenched political target.  But in hindsight of this upcoming election, none of us want Democrats to claim they lost to some technicality.  So we don’t want to be desperate and hope to win because not enough Democrats showed up. Instead, we want to win over Democrats and tip support in Republican favor because they think, J.D. Vance and Bernie Moreno, need all the turnout they can get to win over Brown. 

Yet, it’s more than that; it’s the essence of this endeavor.  There is still the problem that is quite extensive regarding the Issue 1 loss in August of 2023, where too late, lawmakers noticed that powerful foreign money was coming into Ohio to pass pot legalization with loose abortion laws in the wake of recent Supreme Court rulings, specifically regarding Roe v. Wade.  Once the Supreme Court finally did the obvious, and that is rule that only the states can regulate abortion, then Ohio became one of the prime targets because Constitutional amendments only required a 50+1 vote.  So, Issue 1 in August of 2023 was supposed to pass in a low-turnout election to protect Ohio’s Constitution with a 60-vote threshold.  But it failed, and that led to abortion and pot passing in November of 2023, which has fed the progressive anti-American destruction efforts of globalists and domestic cut-throats infinitely.  Meanwhile, still mending from a House coup that took out a Speaker of the House who would be much more supportive of an America First agenda. Instead, Speaker Jason Stephens was put in place with Democrats and RINOs to soften the Republican agenda in Columbus and essentially erode any leverage the GOP had with their majority.  It was a matter of some filthy politics, and locally, in Southern Ohio, Sara Carruthers got caught up in the mess as a part of the coup to put in place a more “Democrat” friendly Speaker.  And it cost her in the primary for 2024.  She will lose her seat this year because of her affiliation with Democrats.  Instead, it’s going to be Diane Mullins who will face off against the Democrat Vanessa Cummings in the November election for that Representative seat.  In Butler County, the GOP censured Sara because of her role in putting in place Speaker Stephens, a known RINO.  It cost her the party endorsement, which then went to Diane.  Are you following along, dear reader? This is not the kind of stuff you get from the newspapers anymore, if ever, or the radio.  But this comes straight from the halls of the Statehouse, a building I often say is much loftier and nobler than the people in it, but the effort is worth the consideration.

Republicans this time around are looking at their options, and they can make Biden getting on the ballot much easier for him, but they want something in return.  A few bills in the Senate, S.B. 215, have sought to deal with the foreign money problem that defeated Issue 1 with the amendment threshold and allowed so much foreign money to backdoor our political process for destructive purposes and make a deal with Democrats.  The House has a similar bill that is much more active at the moment, H.B. 114, which has been through the House, went to the Senate, and is now back in the House for a concurrence vote.  And that is where the impasse is, which Governor DeWine is well aware of and wants to break loose.  But, people like Sara Carruthers and her RINO-supported Speaker, Stephens, want to keep that foreign money flowing because there are a lot of corrupt politicians who feed off it for their sustenance.  And they don’t want to take it out of Ohio.  DeWine can afford moral clarity on this as he is in the final years of his second term.  So it’s no skin off his back, and the direction of politics is headed more in this kind of MAGA direction anyway.  Democrats have something they want from Republicans: they want Joe Biden on the ballot.  So, Republicans are looking to get foreign money out of the state for future elections.  And that’s where the impasse is. 

No matter what happens, Joe Biden will be on the ballot.  Republicans don’t want to win like Democrats are trying to do with Trump, and that is win in the courts and in a game of keep away.  When you beat someone, you should beat them fairly and squarely, leaving little doubt in the aftermath.  So, Republicans are playing this issue with H.B. 114 very well.  And on May 28th, 2024, DeWine is looking to push the issue toward resolution.  Likely, people like Sara Carruthers will vote to keep foreign money flowing into Ohio because, without it, all the progressive invasions will lose their funding and stall out.  But progressives know what they want to do, and Sara has proven she is one of them, which is how we ended up with Speaker Stephens, a Republican in Name Only—a (RINO).  Many of them would never get elected any other way, and once they are in office, they love access to all that foreign money, so they will fight to preserve it, which is why the issue has stalled out among the Representatives.  They’d rather play dirty tricks to keep the money flowing than make a deal to get their guy, Biden, on the ballot in Ohio.  But yes, DeWine is on the right side of this one, and so are many other Republicans looking to do the right thing in 2024 to beat Democrats fairly and squarely.  In the case of Bernie Moreno, to win Democrats over to Republican votes on the back of a strong Trump ticket that will help all the down ballots, the priority is voter turnout.  This happens best when you get voter representation that is fully engaged and pushes out the foreign influence and soft-shelled RINOs who work with the Democrats to undermine our system of government.  And that is, as Paul Harvey used to say……………..” the rest of the story.”

The Message Behind Putting Steve Bannon in Jail: Refusing to acknowledge that Trump was the official government, which he was

The real danger in the case against Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro from the January 6th Committee isn’t just in the jail time imposed on these former members of the Trump White House.  Of course, this is not the first in history where Congress pushed executive branch members to provide some testimony, and the claim of executive privilege was used to deny it.  Eric Holder was found in contempt of Congress.  So was Lois Lerner, along with many others.  It’s normal to claim executive privilege when another branch of government is seeking information from another.  But there is something far worse going on here; it’s not just an argument about executive privilege that is going on behind all the prosecutions of President Trump and the people who worked directly for him.  It’s a denial that President Trump ever had the right to be president and that anybody from his administration could never claim such a right because they never existed.  That is the essential legal premise that was upheld by the appeals court, which rejected the conviction of Steve Bannon, the former strategist for the White House and the current voice of the Warroom podcast, which is very popular.  We are learning how much our current government is like the mob and how large it is.  The premise of destruction that they are putting forth is arrogant and audacious.  Yet it is their political position to go all in and attack members of the Trump administration, which sets a precedent for all future presidents that will only lead to destruction one way or the other of the other side.  This is more than a political gamble; it’s a desperate attempt to show mass force by the power of government over the representatives of an elected government, and its menace has been overt, to say the least.

When the January 6th event occurred, and the Congressional committee of the same name was enacted to investigate the circumstances, it was a political event.  It had nothing to do with justice, just as the cases against Trump have nothing to do with crime, but in using political force to keep a rival from running for office.  For those doubters about election fraud in the 2020 election, just study the intent behind the January 6th Committee of Republicans and Democrats, and it will become clear that if they could cheat in the election, they certainly would.  And they certainly had the means to cheat massively, because of all the newly adopted Covid rules that were essentially written on the back of a napkin and had absolutely no Constitutional validity.  Democrats had been held in contempt of Congress many times, so when the shoe was on the other foot and Congress put together an investigation into President Trump’s role in what they were calling an insurrection at the Capitol on January 6th, 2021, Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro did what the established behavior was from the Executive Branch perspective and that is to refuse to testify.  If it had been me, I would have testified.  I think they should have testified.  I would have made a mess of their hearing with my testimony in ways that would have been far more destructive to them, the Committee members.  But I get it. Steve and Peter didn’t want to show any respect for a crooked court, and they used their Executive Privilege to protest that power over them as they had an established right to do so.  But, the committee representing the general sentiment of the Beltway culture refused to recognize that right, which is why these contempt charges were different and why Bannon is going to go to jail at a critical time in the election process of 2024, to get him off the table.  And Peter Navarro is already there. 

However, by all legal parameters, and this is where things get very dangerous and will have lasting effects for the future, either way, that same Beltway culture is refusing to acknowledge that the Trump administration even existed.  The purpose of the January 6th event and the following committee was to provide a cover story for a stolen government.  Trump was the popularly elected government at the time and was the authority.  Trump couldn’t have an insurrection against himself.  It was the Beltway culture of lawyers, politicians, political pundits, investors, and globalists who refused to believe that they did not have power over the people and that people would elect someone to office in the White House that they did not have control over.  So, by prosecuting Bannon and Navarro, there is more than a contempt charge going on here.  There is a message to the public that this government that took over through election fraud, a previously established government, was in charge.  And if they, too, didn’t want to rot away in jail, they better get on board and do what they were told.  The message couldn’t be more precise.  This stolen government was asserting power over the previous government by denying its existence and justifying its actions through some fake insurrection accusation when the Biden administration, controlled by globalist interests, had performed the actual crime.  And the January 6th participants who rioted against the Capitol on that day were upset.  They had a right to be.  Their government had been taken from them, and they were given Joe Biden, but they weren’t OK with it.

As with all authoritarian governments, particularly communist ones, shows of force like this are common.  This is not an unusual playbook.  However, through our checks on power and divided government, we have an assumption in America that we can avoid these kinds of problems, which provides a stable platform for a constructive society that is financially viable.  However, the premise behind attacking members of Trump’s White House and Trump himself as he runs for President this third time is that the enemy is perfectly willing to throw the baby out with the bath water to get what they want out of it.  And if that means the destruction of America, that’s just as good for them.  These are evil people using the same audacious display of power and control as we saw among mobsters in American culture, and they have hijacked our legal system as a cover for their intent to commit crimes.  And on this stage, we are talking about crimes through the force and security of global communism.  They don’t care that throwing political rivals in jail might make people mad because they have already declared war against those who voted for the Trump administration.  Like the mob, putting Navarro and Bannon in jail and anybody else they can get their hands on is a warning.  They don’t care about the fairness of it.  Or the legality of it.  They only want to destroy their political opposition by any means.  And that is how we need to talk about this case, and we certainly can’t put up with it.  These are some of the most significant crimes in the history of the world, and we can’t just turn our back on them.  The bad guys have to be punished severely.  And the bad guys are not Peter Navarro and Steve Bannon.  But those who refuse to acknowledge that Trump was the legitimate government from 2016 to 2020.  2024, they will be more popular than ever because people want to pick their government.  They don’t like it selected for them by globalist forces who use the government as a cover for crimes against humanity, as evil people have always sought to do.

The Definition of War: Yes, there are many enemies at war with America, and us

Before you can fix something, you must admit there is a problem.  One of the concealment strategies utilized against our nation is the reality of what has been done to us.  No matter what level of evil we are talking about, which I would say is innate and subconscious, well beyond the scope of human interaction, reality is well-defined if you apply the correct definitions to things.  And that is that America has been at war with many characters who run various groups intent on our destruction, and it’s been that way from the beginning.  And like the Trojan Horse of Troy, the villains purposefully disguised their efforts to catch us all off guard, and they have done that by hiding their malice behind polite society.  And the war they have declared on us resided beyond our social definitions of human behavior.  But yes, we have to understand what’s been happening to us with definitions that matter, and that is grappling with the concept of war and the fact that our enemies are numerous and vicious.  And they are plotting our doom moment by moment and quickly if they can’t make a lot of money off us.  They seek to destroy us for all we’re worth.  Classically, the definition of war is “to overcome the enemy’s will to resist.”  As I saw the stock market results for the second week of May 2024, I didn’t see good news for 401Ks and family planning.  I saw a strategy to put people back to sleep because Joe Biden is losing in the upcoming election, and the enemies of America are attacking our culture with a clear strategy to remove our desire to resist what it is they want to do to America, and that is to convert our entire culture to globalism, Chinese communism style.  And the stock market is just one of their many weapons in the ways that the world is at war with America, and us as its caretakers. 

This is money created through inflation. Not the actual profit of true value. Fake money printed by the Fed to protect Biden from the reality of horrendous fiscal policy in an election year.

Now I get it; people just walking their dog and thinking of a two-for-one special at their local smorgasbord think of war as our involvement in Vietnam.  Or, Iraq.  War involves military action by governments intent on that purpose.  In the past, a general representing a nation or some other sovereignty directed soldiers on a battlefield toward suppressing the enemy and designing victory from a surrender once an overwhelming force had been established and utilized toward victory parameters. Upon such wins, people fly their flags and feel good about their nation’s victory against other countries, much the way we think about sports teams that we cheer on who win.  In that way, war is thought of as something that happens “over there” and is done by “other people.”  We don’t think of ourselves and our lives as being at war because our enemies use the concealment of the true definitions of things to perform their malice.  One way to do so is to subdue people away from their defense of a nation by changing their definitions of what war actually is and why people would be or would not be interested in having war to defend something they value.  The enemies of America, as we have seen often recently, overtly out in the open, is to destroy our desire to resist anything, such as in the transgender movement where even the concept of a boy and a girl is in dispute.  To our enemies, it’s not the sexuality involved that is the issue but the ability to corrupt even simple definitions so that significant attacks are never seen by a society that has lost its ability to have a conceptual faculty.

For instance, the good news that is not such good news on the Dow Jones closing at over 40,000 for the first time in history is a kind of Trojan Horse intent to sneak the enemy deeper into our culture while disguising it as something beneficial to us.  Many people do not realize how powerful BlackRock as a financial institution is in the performance of this scandal, which is relatively simple.  The Federal Reserve, through monetary easing using a clear strategy of Modern Monetary Theory, is doing precisely what crime syndicates have done since the beginning of time, and what is happening now with the war machine pumping large amounts of money into Ukraine behind a fake, and provoked war effort with Russia, and that is to wash illegal money through a legitimate business to give it the illusion of validity.  Not to mention that this practice is the cause of inflation, which is too much money chasing too few goods, and that even with more money in your pockets, it is worth less in what it can buy.  The sudden jump of the Dow over 40,000 isn’t about making money but printing more to represent the same value at a much lower value.  But it’s all disguised to give the illusion of profit by hiding the inflation behind a historic milestone.  In this case, the Fed dumped money into BlackRock and other Wall Street firms to have them distribute the money as if it were real into the economy through person-to-personal investments in the form of 401Ks and other financial strategies to prop up the economy with fake numbers to help Biden not take the blame for the impact that globalism has had on American sovereignty. 

This financial game is just one way in which the enemies have sought to suppress American understanding of the war that has been conducted against them.  Another means of such vile menace is in pornography.  Through the internet, porn has been made accessible to the public to weaken our resolve toward a just and moral society.  By attacking those values and the family creation that often comes from successful family relationships and the production of children who are healthy and independent, the governments of the world have purposely sought to corrupt our intellects so that we wouldn’t be able to resist them in war.  But would instead be addicted to vices of destruction meant to take away our will to resist their intentions.  When you understand how “they” are attacking us, you can know that much of what we do and what happens to us is the result of war, and the intentions of our enemies are pretty vicious and maniacal.  Most of what we experience daily is an act of war against us hidden behind definitions meant to conceal their strategy and keep us from seeing what they have been up to.  And we are stopping them from doing it.  For them, the best thing to do is take away even the reality of seeing what had to happen to resist their desires, which is our destruction, after they have made a lot of money off us in the process.  This has been going on for a long time, and it’s certainly not just a current thing.  Only the plot has been revealed in ways they have lost control of the narrative, and people are talking about it in ways they never dared to before.  But war is our reality, and it’s not something we can hide behind some soldier’s ethical code of battlefield conduct.  This is coming into our homes and neighborhoods disguised in ways we don’t think of as threats of war.  But you can bet they are every bit as such and worse.

One Person in Jail is Not Near Enough: Much of what Democrats have done against America, and God, deserves a terminal sentence

In a recent interview, Hillary Clinton was attempting to paint a negative picture of all the people Trump would throw in jail for a revenge tour.  A tour that Democrats have embarked on themselves.  So there is a real fear by her, and many others, that Trump will target them for jail next, once people elected him for a third time to the White House.  The crimes from the coup against Trump are just the tip of the iceberg in denying the people the pick they made for President of the United States in 2020.  All the efforts Hillary Clinton made to destroy the life of President Trump, the corruption by the Obama administration, and, of course, Biden working actively to put Trump in jail for hundreds of years and millions of dollars in fines to keep him off the campaign trail.  These are not the actions of innocent people who know they had 81 million votes and won the presidency legitimately.  These are criminals who broke the law and have attempted to destroy our country and worse.  And now the shoe will be on the other foot, and they are terrified.  Well, when Hillary Clinton says that one person going to jail once Trump is in office and can then put his political rivals in jail for what they have done to him, I would say that one person would not be nearly enough.  As I write this, Steve Bannon, the former Chief Strategist for the President, has lost his appeal and is facing jail time, joining Peter Navarro, another Trump White House official who is currently in jail, put there by hostile Democrats at all levels of society.  Hey, they started it.  But we won’t be happy with just one or two obvious criminals going to jail, I would say it needs to be in the thousands. 

This is no time to feel sorry for any Democrats who have broken the law and are now facing the wrath of Trump.  I personally think Trump is too nice.  He says the right things and, as an executive in business, naturally understands the tough decisions it takes to get things moving in the right direction.  I think during his first term, he should have drawn first blood and put Hillary in jail because they were always going to try to do it to him anyway.  There was no harm in putting them all in prison because that’s where we have been in politics for a long time.  The politeness in politics between political parties has only worked against Republicans because Democrats have a proven track record of brutality.  That is the foundation of their entire political platform, and we have to admit that all gains they have been making are the tactics of Marxism and not American capitalism.  They are hostile to the American way of life and have no intention to preserve our nation well into the future.  They are criminals and cutthroats at best.  So, giving them the benefit of the doubt as Trump did was devastating.  That’s why they thought they could get away with destroying the American economy with Covid by walking into his office and lying to him about a potential death count, where Covid was made, who was involved, and what the plan was all along for socialist lockdowns and a push to more centralized governments all around the world.  They knew behind all the tough talk Trump was a nice guy, and they did what Democrats always do, they take advantage of Republicans who present themselves as suckers. 

I’m sure Trump would not like to have that tag stuck to him, that he was a “sucker” to Democrats.  But he was.  That doesn’t mean I won’t vote for him again in 2024.   Considering the ominous globalist forces at work here, I think he played the game as well as it could be.  I mean, Fusion GPS wasn’t just Hillary Clinton; it involved John McCain, a well-known Republican at the time, and much of the FBI and CIA who were in on destroying an American president with the same kind of vigor that we now know went on behind Kennedy and Nixon, by many of these same types of characters.  American voters were considered not relevant.  And when COVID was made and released during an election year to provide a cover story for a stolen election, which was the plan all along because they knew what the poll numbers said, Democrats had no fear of revenge for being caught doing what they were doing.  They had no concern that what they were doing to people, by the millions, would put them in jail because they had no respect for Republicans in general.  Republicans talk about fairness and justice.   But when the rubber hits the road, they put up with crime and corruption with the best of them.  They do so because they seek comfort in life; they trust that God will be the one who issues judgment, so they stay out of the business.  And since Democrats hate God and seek to destroy religion, replacing it with state power, then Democrats always have an advantage over Republicans.  They don’t confine their evil to their thoughts because they don’t believe there is a God to punish them. 

I view this effort as being the hands of God in this world, and we were created in his image to inflict justice and bring heaven to earth, wherever possible.  And that starts with punishing people who break the law and harm innocent people.  I think absolute ruthlessness in this category is essential to a civil society that functions well.  When bad people do bad things, the righteous should viciously punish them.  But who is the “righteous?”  Well, those who follow God’s law and the Ten Commandments.  Those who are following Biblical principles.  With Trump, it was good that he embraced the Bible when Marxist thugs were attacking a church right outside of the White House and were trying to burn down Washington.  But he should have done more, and I would expect him to know that he has had a lesson in radical Marxist movements who are not cheerleaders for America.  I would like to see the perpetrators executed for treason against our country, not just thrown in jail.  And so many millions of people are involved that they can’t all be punished.  Well, yes, they can all be punished, and if we have it my way, there will be many thousands, if not millions, who will be punished with more than jail time.  I would hope that after all this, Trump would be more ruthless than he was in his first term and that he would not hold back the power of his office to severely punish those who came after him and his administration so horrendously.  I want to see blood paid for these sins by the truckload.  I do not want to forgive and forget; I want to see the enemies of America punished in a way that would discourage all future action.  And I think many Americans feel the same way, especially after watching what they were willing to do to Trump.  Americans don’t want to see the bad guys get away with all this yet again.  And that is a world that Hillary Clinton doesn’t understand.  But I feel they are all about to learn a lesson in justice that will shock the world.  And they deserve everything and then some, that is coming their way.

Democrats are Planning Not to Certify President Trump’s Victory: The domestic enemies of America are vicious and daring us to fight them

Let me explain something to you fools out there: that little show of solidarity that Speaker Johnston and others from Washington showed behind President Trump on May 14th, 2024, is about three years too late.  Sure, it’s better late than never.  But it clearly shows that many people don’t understand the fight we are fighting.  The Democrats are viciously evil.  They are not your friends.  Even as we speak, they are already making plans not to certify the election for President Trump should they win enough seats in Congress to take back the House.  Or, they are counting on enough RINO Republicans to get squishy and vote their way to not certify the election once Trump wins this November, which he is poised to do, and then some.   Yes, remember all that nonsense about Mike Pence doing the right thing, and certifying the 2020 election with the deciding vote, which put Trump out of the White House and gave us this stupid fool, the criminal Joe Biden, who just this week, his daughter proclaimed that the contents of her diary were true, and that she did shower with her dad as a young girl.  This was not a conspiracy theory.  These are bad, horrendous people, and they are playing for keeps.  And they are not planning to give back the reigns of power over a silly little ol’ election where the people pick their favorite representatives.  No, they are plotting and scheming our destruction moment by moment, and they think you are all suckers.  Even as people from the Trump White House are in jail or going to jail, and now, after many years, there are still many January 6th prisoners rotting away with no prospect at being released.  While Republicans sit around looking for fairness.  They play by the rules while the entire Democrat Party platform exists to break them. 

There are a lot of conservatives who have known for a long time that the game is rigged against us, and we are tired of it.  This placating evil thing has not worked out well, and think about what I’m saying here.  With all the spectacle that there was about getting Trump out of the White House, how Democrats used the rules to essentially establish a coup against a popularly elected President.  Knowing that they will lose power by that same voting system, they will attempt to block that certification process at every step of the way.  When Trump wins in November, the election, Democrats are not going to do what Mike Pence did and go through the routine of certifying the electors toward the politician who received the most votes in the electoral college.  They are going to attempt to burn down cities and send illegal immigrants home to home with a show of violence, hoping to cause as much chaos as possible to punish people for not voting for them.  Democrats are like the mobsters of old.  That’s why we don’t hear about the mob anymore; they went from illegal businesses into government, instead of fearing prosecutors.  They became the prosecutors.  They became the members of the House.  They became the President.  And if you don’t obey them, they will cut off a horse’s head and put it in your bed if they think they can get away with it.  They are ruthless, vicious, and plotting maniacal fools.  They are bloodthirsty.  And they have no intention of giving back power over a silly election.  That power will have to be ripped away from them.  And they will have to be punished tenaciously.

They aren’t intimidated by any Republican solidarity that was shown to President Trump forty years too late; they aren’t shaking in their boots.  They are laughing, because they know what they are willing to do, and they know Republicans won’t do it.  You watch.  It will be the day after the election in November of 2024 and the story will be that Democrats are planning not to certify the election of Trump for a number of reasons.  But it will be their only play after all the court attempts to destroy him have failed.  And all the attempts by the media to disparage him will have shown that Trump even won in heavily Democrat areas and that Joe Biden lost the election so badly that Jimmy Carter will have finally lost that title to the word “landslide.”  Everything will have failed for them, and they will have nothing else but to attempt not to certify Trump to the White House.  They will try to tie it up as much as possible, and in many ways nobody has ever seen before.  Because that is their nature.  They are vicious.  And they have every intention of showing their teeth and doing to us what they accused us of thinking of doing when we had the power not to certify the election and send it back to the states to keep Trump in office.  Democrats won’t just talk about it.  They’ll do it.  And they won’t feel one bit guilty about it as they do.  They will force us to fight them in the streets.  They will be happy to destroy our Constitution because they don’t like it anyway.  They are globalists.  They are communists.  They are thugs, liars, cutthroats, and, on a good day, criminals.  And they have no respect for Republicans because they have observed us for a long time and think they can get away with anything.

Way back in 2015, when people laughed about Trump entering the presidential race when he made the now-famous descent down the escalator at Trump Tower, I would explain all this to them, and they would look at me like I was just a disgruntled rebel who wanted a fight.  That our political system was sophisticated and righteous.  And I explained how far gone everything was to anybody who would listen, and they just giggled under their breaths and thought they knew better.  Well, it had to be Trump for all the reasons we have been seeing, and only now do people seem to understand these domestic enemies that we know as Democrats, finally.  Only now did Republicans show up to show support for President Trump during his New York trial with Fat Alvin and the gang of communist thugs who are running our judicial system there.  Punishment for the crimes that Democrats put forth and intend to utilize in the months to come can only go one way.  It has to be ruthless.  You can’t sit around crying about it, about unfairness, and how sad it is.  You have to get tough.  And you have to be willing to fight it out.  And when Democrats try to steal this election, too, as they did in 2020 when dumb Republicans thought that the real value was in following the rules and preserving our system of a peaceful transfer of power.  When Democrats refuse to leave the White House and all the other power positions they’ve managed to capture, they will dare us into violence, knowing we don’t have the stomach for it.  Which is why it will be likely that it will be our only option.  They’ll make it that way, and as we contemplate that inevitability, they are plotting our destruction with every breath of every word of insurrection that can be applied against the United States of America.  Because they don’t care about the country or its survival.  They only want more power so they can commit more crimes.  That is what we are dealing with, and that’s probably too nice.

Roger Reynolds Has His Conviction Overturned on Appeals: When people like Fat Alvin use the power of government to destroy political rivals

It was a rigged, political case in Butler County. And the prosecutors wasted a lot of tax money on a personal hit job.

I wish people would listen.  I feel like that frustrated parent who has all the answers but has to stand by and watch their kids make dumb mistakes that cause them much pain and suffering anyway.  And if you care about everyone, it can be a harrowing experience.  But essentially, from the beginning, the prosecution against Roger Reynolds, the popular Butler County Auditor, was as flimsy of a case and motivated by the same intentions as the Fat Alvin case in New York against President Trump.  These are purely political cases where the prosecutors are trying to use legal warfare to take out political rivals.  In this case, it was elements of the Republican Party in Butler County, even extending into the Attorney General of Ohio to exert power and position within the party.  It had nothing to do with any actual crimes committed.  Roger Reynolds found himself having the law used against him in a weaponized format, something that happens more often than people would like to think, over disagreements regarding family connections and how tax money is spent, just theorizing on such spending.  And for that Roger Reynolds has had to pay a fortune in legal bills, lose over three years of his life professionally, during his prime income-building years, and was popularly elected into a very powerful auditor position only to be removed from office because of a conviction on a last minute charge tossed over the fence to attempt to get anything to stick against him to get a jury to put him in jail for 30 days and ruin his political career for the rest of his life.  The case had nothing to do with justice but everything to do with power, who controls the legal system, and how they can then use it to take out political rivals.  And nothing more.

On Monday, May 13th, 2024 after many years of fighting for his innocence, a 10th District Court of Appeals in Columbus reversed the conviction against Roger Reynolds from a few years earlier, bringing somewhat to an end the long ordeal that started for him back during Covid when some of the people from Roger’s office as auditor stopped coming to work over Covid rules.  Now I get Roger’s position. I’ve talked to him about it, and I am even more traditional regarding the COVID rules for employment.  Doctors don’t run our economy and when they stuck their noses into our business with all these new globalist Covid rules, they were way over the line.  It was the job of science to figure out how to stop COVID-19 and its spread with science.  Not to shut the world down with a bunch of new rules to establish a new normal.  And some of these kids then, and now, thought that meant they could all work from home to avoid spreading the virus.  When Roger had to deal with that trend in his office, he let people go for not coming to work, and that made people mad.  People then promised their family members that they had the power of the law at their back and could get revenge on Roger.  At that point, an attendance issue then became a big labor one where communist policies seep into the assumptions of a government workforce, and the power of government is then weaponized against that assumption. 

At that point, Sheriff Jones made it his mission to go after Roger Reynolds, spend money on investigations, and waste a lot of money in court proceedings to destroy Roger Reynolds’s life in court.  Many different charges were thrown in Roger’s way, with the power of the Attorney General being added to the mix, trying to make the former auditor look like a corrupt official who had abused his power of office for personal gain.  But nothing was sticking, and Roger was found innocent of all charges.  At the last minute, this issue with Lakota schools and a country club golf connection came up, and Roger suggested to the treasurer that some tax money being returned to the school be applied to a venture that he thought would be a good idea.  It was just a discussion about how to spend tax money.  But Sheriff Jones and the prosecutors threw the weight of their office to destroy the life of Roger Reynolds in precisely the same way that Fat Alvin has been doing to Trump.  Over the last few years, we’ve seen it happening more and more as these same tactics have been used nationwide.  It has been the collision of why people pursue big government jobs to have immense power over innocent people, which is the problem.  When government is sought and used to give power to people who otherwise wouldn’t have it, abuse of government then becomes the subject, and the warning of why we never want to give any people, no matter who they are, too much power through government to abuse others over a quest for power.  In most cases, even if the prosecutors get a conviction, they are being overturned on appeals.  But by the time a defendant spends years trying to prove their innocence, their lives are destroyed in the process.  So, even if they don’t go to jail, they are destroyed in the process.  Now that Roger Reynolds has had his conviction overturned, where does he go to get his reputation back?

I am proud to call Roger Reynolds a friend through all this.  I’ve told him this when I’ve seen him throughout this process.  I am proud of how tough he has stayed in proving his innocence.  I want to see him get back into elected office and do good work because when political enemies see you as that much of a threat, I want to see people like Roger sticking it to those powers to keep things honest.  I would hire Roger Reynolds before and after this appeals ruling because Roger is one of the good guys.  And in a world run by evil and malicious people, like Fat Alvin in New York is against Trump, they are the ones who need to be punished and be fired from government work whenever possible.  I remember the day the indictments came down against Roger and the people who called me to talk about it, very haughtily.  These were small-government conservatives who were impressed with Sheriff Jones’s power to drum up charges to essentially take down a rival within the Republican Party.  And I was surprised how many people played along with it because it was wrong.  I knew it was a crooked case from the beginning because I knew all the people involved and understood the rivalry in ways that weren’t reported in the media.  But what surprised me was how vicious the ordeal became, where the lawyers were the only ones who profited.  They are pleased to have millions of dollars wasted on their services over an issue that essentially was just a family rivalry within a political party.  And this is why we must always watch how people use government power, and why we can’t give too much of it to any one person.  Because they can’t handle the temptation to abuse it.  However, in the case of Roger Reynolds, he was always innocent of those ridiculous charges.  And it’s fantastic that the appeals court saw the case for what it was and reversed the conviction.  Justice still works, even if it takes a while, and a lot of money has to be spent on it to get it.  Let’s go back to dueling, as I say more often.  It was a lot cheaper, and the real bad guys usually went away, saving taxpayers a lot of money in the future.

Process Efficiency Through Fast Draw Shooting Sports: How to eliminate communism from any culture

There is a root cause of big government and communism in general, and it essentially all comes down to laziness.  The best hedge a country could have to protect itself from communism is an emphasis on hard work and personal improvement.  If you have an efficient society where personal conduct is rewarded, you will have a better society generally.  And they will not vote for communism and all the various follies of Marxism.  I have figured out that over time by participating in Cowboy Fast Draw, particularly a great group of people I have known for quite a while, many years before I started shooting with them, The Ohio Fast Draw Association.  I think of it as one of the best sports that the human race has come up with, but in making it an actual sport that has very rigid rules and regulations, as most shooting sports do that involve real guns and ammunition, the drive toward speed and accuracy has created a window into the purity of human intellect that I find endlessly fascinating.  And that’s what was on my mind as my wife and I had a wonderful meal at the Punderson Manor overlooking one of the deepest lakes formed by glaciation near downtown Cleveland, Ohio.  We were camping across the lake and preparing for one of the first Fast Draw competitions of the year just a few miles to the north, and economic systems and process efficiencies were most on my mind as I thought about current events over pork covered in honey and garlic sauce.  Out of all the educational institutions and means of human intellect, I think the best representation of efficiency matched with risk formed out of Cowboy Fast Draw and America’s fascination with Western arts and entertainment. 

It was something most obviously revealed during Covid, which we all know now was created in a Wuhan lab and released by China and a lot of other nefarious governments for a Great Reset by the World Economic Forum to spread communist-style government micromanaged by a massive, leftist, Administrative State.  And so many companies and governments were ready to jump on and sign us all up for it by a media poised to spread the news as fast as television broadcasts could put up death graphs on the side of their visuals.  This was the theme of my 2021 book, The Gunfighter’s Guide to Business, which I wrote and published during the first year of the Biden presidency, on the heels of the most ostentatious takeover by governments over private industry using Covid as their excuse.  But I wasn’t happy just pointing it out; I wanted to understand why human beings did this to themselves because that is where the real answers to life are.  That is why people were so quick to wear masks during the Covid crises, which were artificially created.  More specifically, when you look at a process for a big company, you will find that they have too many administrative employees and entirely too many rules.  Incompetent people use rules and large administrative practices to hide their incompetency from the eyes of a competitive world.  And you really don’t see that in people until you hang around people addicted to speed like there are in Cowboy Fast Draw events.  Human beings create a lot of rules and drag on any innovation system because they are timid and weak as personalities who look to shield themselves from risk through legislation.  And it is those kinds of people who make governments restrictive and crave communism and the security of a perpetual nanny state.

Of course, the sport of fast draw, especially The Ohio Fast Draw Association that I shoot with several times a year, is to shoot at a target when a light flashes on it and to draw a .45 caliber single action pistol with a wax bullet, as fast as you can from a holster at various distances.  What I like about the Ohio Fast Draw guys is that they have a variety of combat scenarios that are part of their competitions, and it forces you to find the fastest means to achieve the objective within some rigid rules that are always part of shooting sports.  The endeavor aims to manage risk and competence toward the stated goal.  Not to run and hide from it, as most organizations do where this problem of individual merit isn’t addressed.  In my real life, outside of shooting sports, which I consider a real vacation from the sluggish minds of bureaucracy and considerable government inefficiency, I would say that most people have some element of timidity in them that is open to government expansion over improved processing, I see how a lack of management over personal risk drags the world down in unhealthy ways.  People love their rules, their regulations, and their slow rate of completion in things because they are terrified of the actual responsibility of accomplishment.  At Cowboy Fast Draw events, all people generally agree that the goal is to shoot fast, hit the target, and find the most efficient process to perform the task.  That means drawing the gun from my holster in fractions of a second and shooting as soon as the barrel clears the leather.  There is no hiding the intent behind process rules disguised to protect the incompetent from the expectations of performance.  And I never get enough of it.  There are usually six or more events per year, and I always get a lot out of all of them, but what I get most is time away from the sluggish people of the world and their slow obsessions with administrative practices that hide their grotesque lives from competitive expectations. 

Since my last competitive event with these Ohio Fast Draw guys, I have been to Japan twice to deal with real-world issues of efficiency and competence necessity.  In Japan, they do not run from competitive expectations; they fully embrace them as a mass culture.  They are not in love with the process flow that protects themselves from competitive expectations, which is part of their samurai culture that is still alive and well there.  As my wife and I ate our meal and looked out over that lake, this was May of 2024, and my last competition was September of 2023. During that time, I had a chance to observe Japanese culture up close and personal, including how they eat.  Many lights came on for me as to the cause of human society leaning toward communist governments and why corporations of all kinds were so quick to do so.  Those elements of the fast draw and Japanese society painted across the current events of our times revealed a nasty sentiment holding back the human race for many years.  But the sport of fast draw had purged it out and away from its hiding places, and I have found myself obsessed with the results.  It was the root cause behind all the Lean work that had been developed in Japan with the Toyota efficiency standards, into why people behaved the way they did when work was presented to them, and responsibility for success fell on their shoulders.  It would take America’s gun culture to match up with the most successful economy in the world to evolve the sentiment, which I always cherish at competitive shooting events that tell more than just the story of American tradition.  But peel back the veil to the most wonderful elements of human intellect, the ability to use risk to produce efficiency and innovation that otherwise would never come to be.

The Lies of the Biden Economy: Claiming Covid jobs as economic credit for a Marxist government

Calling someone a liar and a typical political thief is one thing.  But in the case of Joe Biden and his Marxist handlers, to have proof of it is something else.   The economic numbers for Biden are not good and, in many ways, getting worse because not even the communist media will carry water for him as they have.  When they try to tell us that he was legitimately elected, remember what I did as the very first thing.  My wife and I packed up in our RV and went out into the desert to think and get some perspective, which I needed.  I remembered some of this as recently, my wife and I traveled to Cleveland for a fast-draw competitive event and lived out of our RV for an extended period.  We were watching Trump’s speech in New Jersey, where he indicated that he would make a play to win some of those heavy Democrat areas.  It was raining outside, and we had an exceptionally cozy evening together.  We were talking about Trump returning to office and thinking of the first few months of the horrendous Biden presidency, where the shoe was on the other foot.  Since we were so political, we were among the hundred ones, which had been made clear to me.  So we went to the desert of New Mexico to consider what to do next.  I made some adjustments to my life as a result, and then there we were, watching Trump from that same RV a few years later with the rain pouring down outside after a day of shooting and lots of gunsmoke, and the truth was all coming out on Biden.  We knew Biden didn’t win the election with 81 million votes because we had traveled extensively, and they were nowhere to be found.  The Biden people had lied about their election and their presidency, and we were the first to see it.   Now, it was obvious to everyone. 

That same process occurred with Biden’s economic numbers.  We all know we had a much better economy with Trump until the Covid virus was created in a Wuhan lab and released to the world by not only the Chinese but the global communists at the World Economic Forum who wanted to distribute the China model of communism to the world with a Great Reset had wanted to stop that excellent Trump economy hurting him during an election year.  According to Department of Defense reports now, COVID was a bioweapon, and they released it during that year, as they had been planning to destroy Trump’s economy and make their power move for global domination.  Things didn’t work out as they had imagined, and world domination wasn’t happening. All those lunatic billionaires retreated to their hiding places in Davos, and the world tried to somewhat return to normal, hoping everyone would forget about it, even though millions of people had died along the way.  We are all still coming to grips with that tragedy and our government’s role in the scamdemic.  The contents of that contemplation are still considered a massive conspiracy theory, even though the proof is all around us and was all along.   Those same forces wanted a puppet president and found one in Biden. They put him in place with massive election fraud done behind the veil of COVID-19, which allowed them to do so.  This is an element they would not have in 2024, as people are just waking up to deal with all this terrible news, most evident by the Biden economy, which was harming people at every level of society.

Oh, I know, these are hard to think about for people who want to take their kids to soccer practice and buy their next steak dinner off Amazon.  I had a front-row seat, and I think about these things in ways others don’t, so it doesn’t matter when people realize that they have been scammed by a massive government conspiracy centered around the United Nations trying to push Chinese communism to every corner of the world through corporate influence and international finance.  But the truth is easy in this case: the Biden administration has been lying about their economic recovery, saying they had created more jobs than any president in the history of the world, and even skeptical people have been scratching their heads, wondering where they were.  Well, they were the jobs destroyed during Covid, when these same con people convinced President Trump to turn off the economy to save lives, which he did—resulting in the biggest con job the world had ever seen.  And once Trump was out of office, and all the political rivals of Biden had been hunted down, prosecuted, or thrown in jail, the Biden people had to finally give up on Covid as a cover story because the world was coming apart in anger over the issue.  If the Biden people could have, Covid lockdowns would still be happening, with the “new normal,” as they used to say.  But people realized there was a thing called the Constitution, and the lockdowns were illegal.  And the governors across the country were losing their cases and had to reopen the economy. 

Along the way of that reopening, the jobs that the COVID lockdowns had destroyed became open again, and those are the massive job creations that Biden is now claiming his administration has created.  They are saying all this with a straight face and expect the public to accept it without question.  That’s how stupid they think we all are.  And how malicious they are and how much they have lied to everyone.  Even with all the scrutiny, they believe they will get away with lying about their job numbers without the context of a pre-Covid lockdown reality that returned to normal in the years following during the Biden administration.  The Biden economy has been a disaster, as any socialist economy would be, and that has been their policy, and the measures have been obvious.  Their lies about the job reports are much worse because people know better.  But think that if they will lie about these job numbers, what else they have been lying about that is that much harder to prove?  The only thing preventing people from seeing the truth is that they won’t believe it because they can’t imagine that people are that evil and malicious.  Yet, they are, the Biden people.  They are cruel and malicious.  And slowly, people are realizing it.  That’s why people were camped out in New Jersey to see Trump give the same speech over and over, and even Fox News carried the whole thing from beginning to end.  There were over 100,000 people at that Trump event, and it did terrify the political left and the uniparty.  Even with all the crazy court trials, nothing was stopping Trump, and the writing was on the wall.  People knew they had been lied to about Trump and many other things.  And they wanted a change; they wanted their good economy back.  And they were done with Biden and his con artist lies.  They have started to admit to this, which was the first step in solving the problem for good.

Getting Rid of Herbie: Why Trump’s economy will be so much better than Biden’s

This will likely be one of the most valuable things I will ever tell you.  It’s worth a lot of money to many companies all over the world, but not for the reasons they think.  But on the topic of why Trump’s economy will be better than Biden’s or that Biden and Obama’s economy was worse than Trump’s and why, you have to understand the very nature of all communist and socialist governments.  It’s why, even with over a billion people in China, they still have a GDP that is less than America, with 2/3 fewer people. It is one of the most significant crimes happening in the world; it is not strictly against the law, but laws are created to preserve its nature.  That trend is expressed in the classic book on efficiency called The Goal by Eliyahu Goldratt, which deals with the Theory of Constraints and how to deal with them.  Goldratt is the Jonathan Cahn of business books, and he has a series of them that many companies worldwide have sought to improve their lives in some way, and for all the same reasons that people pursue religion.  They don’t necessarily want to fix anything, but they go through the motions, hoping to trick God into letting them into the Heavenly Gates at some point.  And that is the approach that many people have with The Goal.  On the surface, it’s a pretty good book with a fictional narrative about a plant manager with minimal time to turn a company around to start making a profit.  But behind the scenes, it’s a soft sale on communism that has infiltrated the marketplace over the last several years.  The goal is to identify the constraints in your manufacturing process and manage them instead of trying to jam things through them. 

When I talk about The Goal to people, which happens all the time actually, I tell a story from the book where a bunch of backpackers are hiking to a destination, and they have a big fat kid named Herbie who is holding up the rest of the hikers from reaching their destination on time.  Since Herbie is fat, not as strong as the other kids, and has a hard time carrying a heavy backpack through the wilderness on a long trail, the kids behind him bunch up to his back while the kids in front of him pull way out ahead.  They arrive at the destination many hours ahead of Herbie and those behind him, and the goal of the exercise is to have process flow built around team cohesion.  So, the story’s purpose is to find ways to lessen Herbie’s burden on the group and to pace all the activities to those limits.  For instance, don’t force Herbie to carry the heavy backpack because it will just slow him down.  Have those who can take the backpack do it for him because, as the communists say, “those who can, each by their means,” and all that.  Once you realize that people reading the book, especially government types, are using this Theory of Constraints to hide their laziness and incompetence and trying to sell it as an efficiency tactic.  Without question, constraints are a genuine thing.  But how you deal with them is something I’m afraid I have to disagree with most of the world emphatically.  Constraints are meant to be managed, not yielded to, and the point of The Goal is to find out what they are and build everything around them. 

See the problem here, lower your expectations and live with the limits of Herbie

In my worldview, I advocate for removing Herbies from the process. I believe in finding individuals who are about 100 pounds lighter and can carry a heavy backpack. I don’t believe in forcing the rest of the group to slow down for slow old Herbie.  I say remove as many constraints as possible with good, competent people.  But to do that, we must acknowledge that all people are not equal.  Some people are better than others, and in a business environment, this is the opposite of what political trends have tried to create in the world. They emphasize equity and inclusion, not performance and competency.  And you can see this in the performance of the world today, from your local drive-thru to the store stocker at your local grocery.  In my view, the Biden administration is all about creating a society of Herbies. In my world, I would encourage them to be the first to be fired or pushed out of your work culture.  Rather than building around the Herbies, I would say to get rid of them and replace them with someone faster and better. This goes against almost every unspoken rule of our modern world.  However, the government, especially under Biden and Obama, is all about putting as many Herbies into your system, so it’s no wonder their governments are much less efficient and covered with slowness and waste.  They have made it pretty much illegal even to judge the performance of the Herbies of the world. When you want to understand what has happened in the world to slow everything down, The Goal, as a book, has captured the problem well.  But not for the reasons it intended to define the Theory of Constraints.  Lazy losers in the world and incompetent people afraid of competition have been empowered by it to prevent performance from being the measuring criteria and instead made group cohesion the mode of operation as a central value. 

Don’t learn to live with constraints. Improve them or get rid of them all together

During his first term, Trump thinks about Herbies the way I do.  He brought free market capitalism back to the markets where competition drove expectations for about three years until COVID-19 was invented and released to tamper with the 2020 election and get a Great Reset to all global markets influenced by the communists at the World Economic Forum.  And the American economy flourished under Trump.  But the policy of Obama and Biden, which is attached to global communism, China style, and corporate control superseding elected governments, wants a society of Herbies that they feed with welfare checks and entitlements because it gives them more centralized control over mass populations.  If they can sell that inefficiency to the public as “efficiency,” you can bet they will try.   So few people understand why Trump’s economy was, and will be, so much better than Biden’s.  Most economists don’t understand it; they have been taught only one way of viewing economic value, so they are oblivious to what Trump will do, which differs from Biden.  However, the real difference is that any good economy or company trying to implement a process will seek to eliminate as many Herbies as possible. And if they do have them, to mitigate the damage they cause to others by slowing everything down.  Speed is our friend in a thriving economy and successful business.  And rather than manage around our Herbies, we should get rid of them whenever we spot them and replace them with someone much faster and more competent.  That holds of a machine or even a business model.  If speed is not the emphasis, then incompetence becomes the breeding ground of fools, and you end up with horrendous economic numbers, such as we have seen with Biden.  The fix is easy, but it is something the government doesn’t want to see happen as they attach themselves to the global communist movement where Herbies are made, not managed.

A much better world, one without Herbies
