Second Call Defense May Be the Most Important Thing You Do in 2024: Catherine Herridge thinks there will be a “Black Swan” event, and I think she’s right

Catherine Herridge is one of the only reporters I still respect from the mainstream news, and there is a lot of talk about a recent statement she made about the upcoming year of 2024 when she indicated that she thought there would be a Black Swan event at some point. I agree with her; there may be several. There are a lot of bad guys in the world that have been dramatically empowered by bad laws, weak politics, globalism, terrorism, and eroded values, and the power and money that have come from these activities are not going to be given up easily. I expect a lot of attempts to unleash violence into our society before power is given back or taken back by force. Whatever the case, the bad guys will not just ride off nicely into the night. That’s why they are bad guys; they do bad things and harm innocent people. So I think 2024 will be unusually difficult, much worse than 2020 when color revolutions were unleashed in the streets with a few phone calls from the rich and famous. Sheer whores who will do anything for a buck took over entire cities in 2020 and nearly burned Washington DC to the ground. The media and political figures responsible for the terrible things that happened in 2020 want you to think about the time that people pushed back on January 6th, hoping to erase from your mind everything you had seen and experienced and that some fantasy of normalcy could come from the Biden administration in those early days of 2021. But no, people didn’t forget, and they are voting for Trump anyway; populist movements everywhere are looking for revenge, using the law first to implement it. But that leaves the bad guys nowhere to go, and you can bet they will try every desperate thing to outrun justice.

One thing that has been on my mind is that I had to scold a few of our local news people from the network news who were trying to stoke riots from downtown Cincinnati to come up into West Chester to harass people outside the I-275 loop. A few did come, but it didn’t go very far. My response was similar to what I’m about to say, and in some cases, I walked people I know through the process of buying guns to defend their homes. These were people who don’t usually think this way but were not about to let a bunch of thugs ransack their homes, rape their women, and make a general mess of things in their community. But you can bet that George Soros and all his friends intended for all that to happen even more. What happened recently in Israel could quickly occur anywhere in the United States; the intention of the bad guys is undoubtedly there, and if they aren’t going to respect our laws and enforcement community, then what choice does anybody have? So I helped a lot of people get their hands on guns “just in case,” and the critical riots from Fox 19 News and Channel 5 fizzled out and moved back down the highway to hang out in Over-The-Rhine. Thankfully, it got close to being messy and never quite evolved into a crisis. But people learned from those events that it was possible and needed to be prepared. That’s why I’m recommending to everyone this time membership to Second Call Defense, which is insurance for gun owners who may need to make that second call after a defensive shooting to keep a very corrupt judicial system from destroying your life in the aftermath, which is one of their strategies against the Second Amendment.

We’ve seen how lawfare has been used against Trump, and before all these recent ostentatious displays of law abuse, it has occurred in many ways in our own hometown. Right now, I can think of how the law has been weaponized against Darbi Boddy, who has a bogus hearing on December 29th. She’s the school board member from Lakota who has so many radical elements trying to destroy her life just because she exists, and they want her in jail. And the local Republican Party has been stoking the fires to make it happen—hazardous stuff. I could say the same of what happened to Roger Reynolds, the former Butler County auditor. I just received a very nice Christmas note from Judge Elderstein, a story where the Butler County judges go after their own in really detrimental ways, and this story involves the prosecutor of Butler County, Michael Gmoser, and many other influential people in Ohio who have been engaged in lawfare against political rivals. These law enforcement types cannot be trusted and they are not the people you want to be dealing with after a defensive shooting. Ohio is a lot better on gun laws, particularly Stand Your Ground and Constitutional Carry as a result of our current government doing really good things to make them happen. I’m a permit holder and probably always will be. And yes, because of my lifestyle, it comes up more than you’d like. I had an incident just a few days ago where everyone made it to Christmas Dinner. But gun altercations are more of a reality in a politically charged society as we have now, where radical elements are empowered to bring harm to innocent people, and those innocent people have no choice but to defend themselves. We want to trust the law to do their jobs, but there are many reasons to understand that trust isn’t on the table.

You will get benefits if you use my name to join Second Call Defense.  I know the people involved and I like them a lot.  I usually don’t bring up these kinds of memberships, but I would say, especially this coming year of 2024, to protect yourself with Second Call Defense or an insurance program like it.  I’m not here to sell you insurance.  I have been associated with Second Call Defense for a long time, around ten years now.  Over that span, there have been six times when I almost had to make that second call, counting the recent incident from the other day.  And believe me, before you pull the trigger on an attacker, it does run through your mind.  Because once you do pull that trigger and someone dies as a result, the political hellhounds who want to attack the Second Amendment will be all over you, trying to use that tragedy to destroy your life in every way they can.  With Second Call Defense, you let their lawyers handle your case as soon as the police arrive. They’ll help you get your gun back, and they help with bond money and the kind of procedures that a person without representation would find to be a nightmare.  You don’t want to become a January 6th prisoner or go through what Darbi Boddy is going through now because the law has targeted you for their acquisition of power.  A self-defense shooting is bad enough without having the legal system destroy your entire life for its display of power and political objectives.  So, as some friendly advice, I would recommend everyone who carries a firearm, even in a Constitutional Carry way, to join Second Call Defense, even if just for 2024.  I hope it’s not the case, but things will likely get very rough in 2024, and you want to be prepared on all fronts.  Putting up with detrimental behavior is not an option.  But it would be best to protect yourself with more than a gun.  Insurance certainly helps, and it will rest your mind in those times when you do have to use a weapon and pull the trigger against someone attacking you.  I can’t recommend Second Call Defense more; it may be the most important thing you can do for yourself in 2024.  It’s rough out there; access to good legal representation certainly needs to be part of any strategy that deals with the malicious intent of a society gone mad.

“Decency is on the Ballot” The lying, cheating, sex-crazed Democrats and their need for power, to stay out of jail

When the “decency is on the ballot” statement is made by people like Jill Biden just as a family member of hers, Hunter Biden, her husband’s son, was called to Capitol Hill to testify on behalf of an impeachment query into multiple problems that their family has been involved in, you know you are dealing with some treacherous liars and scammers in a big way.  The Democrats represent below-the-line thinking and much more so than they used to.  These days, they are downright criminal and rely extensively on deceit to accomplish their task.  Just as Hunter Biden said to the public as he refused testimony showing obvious contempt for Congress, he was there to speak, just as he turned away and walked away.  We are dealing with people who need the power of government in order to justify their otherwise treacherous lives with deceit and scandal, which would otherwise not allow them to get out of bed in the morning due to all the guilt.  To say they are evil people is to slander the term “evil.”  They are horrendous.  And unfortunately, some people are suckers to vote for them, and Democrats have made it into a fine art to lie to them in every way possible and to toss away all guilt for their actions onto circumstances they say are beyond their control, just as Hunter Biden records himself taking bribes on a laptop from foreign governments, doing illegal drugs with physical evidence, engaging in sex acts with prostitutes, another illegal activity, then selling themselves as being virtuous.  For those who know the truth, it’s a bizarre thing to watch.  And to those who are too lazy or too stupid to know better, they are being suckered right in front of their faces.  Democrats think so little of their voters that they don’t even believe that anything they say and do should be rooted in reality. 

In truth, what is on the ballot is the economy.  The “Bidenomics” of the last three years has been in depression territory on spreadsheets.  But the system that put Biden in office and wants him to stay there for their consolidated powers denies that we are even in a recession, which would have been two negative quarters of GDP growth.  Probably the best measure for the economy was the gas prices because there has been a World Economic Forum strategy Joe Biden put in place to carry out, to end fossil fuels, destroy people’s reliance on car ownership, and attack the personal independence that people enjoy with a car in their driveway.  I have been to many places in the world, many civilized places, where people do not have cars.  Or they have to store their vehicles at some offsite facility because their apartments in the city can’t keep them anywhere, and if they did, they couldn’t drive them because the roads are too small and the traffic too intense for such a radical idea.  Americans generally have space.  Homelessness is a choice.  And you can be anywhere you want quickly, which is unique worldwide.  And that freedom has been under assault by globalist powers using Joe Biden to destroy it for a New World Order run by these same kinds of below-the-line losers.  The Biden administration has driven up gas prices into the 4-dollar-per-gallon territory to inspire people to give up their gas cars and switch to electric vehicles, conducting an attack against the very same oil companies that put the gasoline at our local pumps, hoping to destroy an entire market sector. 

But then, going into 2024 with the polls for Democrats down in treacherous ways, the oil companies conspired to bring down the price of their product to help Biden.  On the morning I did the included video, I was standing outside a gas station where unleaded regular gas was $2.62 per gallon, as just another form of deceit to the same gullible public.  When they win elections, those prices will return to the radical price fixes of an overly controlling government that seeks to put them out of business.  But some of these business executives for the gas industry are so afraid of Trump that they are willing to work with the Biden administration to keep him in power.  Because they’d rather have a puppet in the White House than free market competition, and they think people are too dumb to notice.  What is being done with the low gas prices is an attempt to get through the 2024 election season without the economy being the drag on re-election.  But even with lower gas prices, all the other consumer indexes are way off from what they were when Trump was in the White House, and people can feel that their lives have never recovered to pre-COVID optimism.  Unlike the first time, Trump ran for office with many promises, now he has a track record that even moderates remember as good.  And what Joe Biden has done to the American economy has created a lot of hate that won’t help them now because the damage is already done.  But they think so little of all of us that they believe they can fix everything with some artificially low gas prices and that the oil executives will play along toward their destruction like captured bank tellers hoping to live a few more seconds if only they comply with the bank robbers wishes and do what they say for their own survival. 

As evident as it is, the revelation of the scam is very telling.  We are being flooded with lie after lie after lie, topped with more bad conduct at a pace that the Democrats can’t lie about it anymore.  They have imposed themselves on the public in detrimental ways, and people not even curious about politics can now see it for themselves.  And Democrats won’t be able to lie out of this one.  The gas prices won’t even help them this time because decency is on the ballot in many ways.  People have seen just how evil and corrupt the Biden family is.  With all the horrendous evidence that was on that Hunter Biden laptop, people see what has happened to the guy who had possession of that laptop, Rudy Guiliani, who now is seeking bankruptcy protection from a false court settlement in Georgia that is trying to destroy him as a political enemy of the Bidens.  This is criminal activity on a scale never before witnessed in such a way that people can see.  They know what Hunter Biden is.  They see how ineffective Joe Biden is.  They know that Jill Biden is a soothsaying liberal who means the exact opposite of what she says.  How could a woman of any value be head of a family like the Biden clan and ever say the word decency in the same sentence?  People know.  This is why the 14th Amendment cases are being applied because Democrats know they have been caught, and they can’t lie their way out of this one.  So, they are trying to keep their opposition from appearing on the ballot.  Who doesn’t think this band of cheaters didn’t rig the 2020 election now?  The pressure has revealed who they really are and always were.  And the American public doesn’t like it.

The Trump Revenge Tour: Justice has to happen and the bad guys should consider themselves lucky

There has been all this talk about Trump being a tyrant once he gets back into office and what he will likely do as part of a Trump Revenge Tour once he has acquired power once again.  Hey, he didn’t cause all these problems.  The political left caused a lot of trouble on multiple fronts, and who in their right mind would have ever thought that they would get away with it?  You can’t behave as badly as they have over the last eight years and expect anything but a revenge tour.  And just in the current news, the Colorado Supreme Court is seeking to keep Trump off the ballot as a hail Mary to the federal Supreme Court with an unprecedented attempt they hope might trigger Democrat Secretaries of States all over the country to try the same strategy hoping to keep that revenge tour from actually happening.  What do they think the logical conclusion will be?  People have been using the system to fight the system as they should.  But do they believe they can prevent revenge for what has been done, the murders with Covid released as a bioweapon, the election thefts to acquire power for officeholders who clearly shouldn’t be there—and we’re talking about more than Joe Biden, the radicalism of the various intelligence agencies who have conducted violent coups against the people’s pick for president.  These third-world tactics have only two outcomes: we are either a nation of laws or not.  And if not, what keeps the bad guys safe from the people’s wrath?  If we don’t have law and order, then what protects them from the anger of the people of the nation?  Because so far, the prospect of getting Trump back in the White House is the only thing that has kept the peace.  Take that away from people; things won’t turn out well for a civil society. 

Even considering the case just last week with Rudy Giuliani, where a Georgia court case awarded by jury 150 million dollars to a couple of election workers, the judge did not allow evidence by Rudy to be appropriately admitted.  The court wanted headlines to outpace the appeals process because it was the perception of the law they were after, not the actual substance. I just so happen to know a few Supreme Court judges in Ohio, and I can attest to them being real people with real emotions.  When they put on the robes and act in their capacity within the Constitution of Ohio, they are supposed to transform themselves into agents of the people.  But it would be easy for ordinary people to become radicalized and fall from grace in the way that the Colorado court has.  From their perspective, knowing the full implications of the Trump revenge tour that is destined to happen and not wanting to pay for all the terrible sins that Democrats have committed, this last gasp from the courts is all they have, the gross abuse of power that they hope foolishly will protect them from being caught in the radicalism they have participated in.  Did they think that people like Rudy Giuliani and President Trump were going to be thrown in jail and bankrupted in court so that they would be harmless in the future and that all the people who have supported them would say, “Well, golly geez, looks like they beat us, Wally.”  And that everyone was going to go back to sleep and support Democrats in their grabs for power and control to support a rotten political system of personal enrichment at the expense of taxpayers?  And that black budgets would continue unchecked by a bunch of hamsters running on the economic machine without a care about the world except for their next meal?  If that’s what everyone thought, well, that’s on them.

There have been so many bad things done by the government in the United States against the people’s will, and much of it has been grossly disrespectful.  Trump is the vehicle to carry that anger, and they have supported him all through these turbulent times, and everyone should be happy about it.  Rather than turn to lawless, criminal conduct, people have turned to the law and their Constitutions to get revenge for what has been done to them.  But if that vehicle is taken away, it is naive to think all that anger will disappear.  Where does anybody think it’s going to go?  Do progressive Democrats think that Americans are going to put up with a Marxist takeover of all their institutions, which is what has been happening, particularly in the courts?  And liberals have only gotten away with it because they took advantage of people’s trust.  But that trust has been broken forever.  Democrats have gone too far too often for forgiveness, and they aren’t going to be allowed to hold power unchecked.  And if the Constitution is tossed out, the way Democrats act like they want to see it happen, then what protects them from complete anarchy?  They may think they want that, but they don’t want that.  Those Marxist fantasies of the few taking over the many, as was done in Cuba, Russia, China, Korea, and Vietnam, are not going to happen in America.  Suppose they take over our courts, as they have revealed of themselves since 2020, and our politics, and think they will control our corporate structure. In that case, they should expect revenge from the people they have exploited, at the very least. 

They should consider themselves lucky that most people who are supporting Trump for the White House for a second term are willing to let the law take effect, that the Deep State will be dismantled.  That our courts will be reformed.  Those involved in the Biolabs leaks of COVID-19 will be punished.  Those crimes will be paid for, and many people will go to jail.  Millions of government workers will be unemployed as the size of the government is dramatically reduced.  That is a good story that people are willing to work through patiently as Trump returns to the White House.  But keeping that from happening to protect all these criminal nest eggs that so many corrupt people have spawned out of government isn’t part of the consideration.  Because without Trump, there is a real need to take our government back forcibly and redefine Constitutional limits on the powers of these corrupt despots who have now been caught.  And the only thing keeping justice from coming their way is thin pieces of paper that most people still believe in.  Without that protection, there is nothing that protects Democrats from the wrath they have caused in the world.  A payment they may have hoped would never occur because they didn’t have the level of respect for people that they should have, which is evident in how these court cases have audaciously presented themselves out of sheer desperation.  They don’t have a plan beyond these abuses of power, a “what now” scenario.  And for them, that is truly dangerous, and in the end, they will cry desperately for the law to protect them.  The same laws they have spit on, as well as the people they have been taking advantage of.  The Trump Revenge tour is their best option.  Because without that legal mechanism, the raw anger is not something they are prepared to deal with.

The Whoredom of Taylor Swift: Alex Soros owns her and the NFL is using her for political activism

It was Taylor Swift who decided to get political, and she has very much made herself just as anti-Trump as LeBron James. When I say that her behavior is no different than a whore, how could anybody think differently? Perhaps people don’t know the story, but since the summer of 2023, Taylor Swift has been purchased to be a political weapon by Alex Soros in order to attack the election trajectory for 2024. When Alex Soros said that he was worse than his dad regarding the level of progressive radicalism he was willing to fund for the benefits of anti-American globalism, this is the kind of thing he had in mind. According to some great reporting by Laura Loomer, the Soros family, among others, own the rights to Taylor Swift’s music, and she has been struggling to regain control. Even though she is a billionaire on paper and people think that makes her very powerful, her kind of money is not dangerous. Instead, it’s meant to prop up the lives of celebrities to make them enticing to the public and give promise to the kind of life that fills the mind of a gullible public about a perpetually easy life if only they could become their spouse. People like Taylor Swift, aside from some real talent, are “allowed” to make that kind of money because they serve a social message that people like Alex Soros use for political objectives. And that is certainly the case here; Taylor Swift is owned by Alex Soros in the same way that a common whore can be purchased to appease the ego of the consumer. And the whore has to do whatever is desired of those who pay the money. What Taylor Swift has been willing to do since this struggle over music ownership, to regain some control of her own is the same type of justification that all whores use to sell their services to a public willing to pay for it.

Don’t be a sucker; all this romance with Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs didn’t just happen. It was arranged because the NFL needed to fix its image with young women, and there is nothing better than a royal romance with a pop icon and one of their premier players. And what does Alex Soros get by allowing this romance to brew? Well, the NFL moved in a bad direction with the Black Lives Matter campaign, and kneeling at the National Anthems still has left a bad taste in people’s mouths, so they are looking for a way to fix their corporate image. It has taken a hit from their wokeness, and they feel the revenue slip. So Travis Kelce is a good spokesman to appease all parties. He is, as Aaron Rogers has said about him, “Mr. Pfizer” because he supported the vaccines and his open support of Joe Biden for President. Ironically, when the Mr. Pfizer comments came out at the start of the NFL season this year, Taylor Swift started dating Travis Kelce, apparently arranged by Erin Andrews the sports reporter, and she started showing up in the box during games with Kelce’s parents. As a result, women are happy to watch NFL games with their male partners now, whereas before, they weren’t so pleased about it. Young people have been moving toward socialist soccer rather than American football due to the campaign to demonize it over concussion protocols. So this arrangement with a couple of very progressive young people willing to do and say whatever is needed for liberal politics to utilize as a weapon has been more than beneficial.

It might also be recalled that around the same time all this was happening there is a recording of Taylor Swift talking to her dad about her mission to be more vocal about President Trump in the upcoming election, and to use her power and influence to stop him. That is where the whoredom really comes into play. Up to this point, Taylor Swift has stayed somewhat politically neutral, where she didn’t want to alienate members of the other political parties; she just wanted to make music and perform for audiences. But this was something different, this was part of an anti-Trump move declaring that she would use her celebrity to stop Trump at the voting booth. And that is pure Alex Soros and this leverage he has over her music rights, which is how the Soros family has manipulated politics for years. That makes this Kansas City romance with Travis Kelce even more phony, because for them both, it’s a power move to appease the progressive political forces that look to be shaping the world, from their perspective, and they are willing to do whatever they need to do to appease that power. Travis Kelce made that clear in his recent visit to the White House at the start of the NFL season, again at the same time all this activity with Taylor Swift started. I think they probably actually like each other, but it’s more of an appeasement relationship for both of them. And that is what whores do for money. It’s not always about the sex, which, in this case, it is, too, but it’s about giving a buyer attention when they otherwise wouldn’t have it. Taylor Swift is selling access to herself just like the Biden family has been doing to foreign instigators, and the whole show is being displayed across the NFL platform as a woke, corporate whorehouse for progressive politics. Alex Soros is the pimp who is letting the woke NFL carry the message of his political activism so long as he can attack Trump with the celebrity of Taylor Swift and one of the NFL’s most popular players during an election year. And it was a bad move for Taylor Swift. In the end, she will be viewed in the same way that prostitutes are after their actions with those paying the money, without much respect and as a cheapened commodity. But she is willing to trade that lack of respect for her music rights, which Alex Soros owns. Either way, it’s not a good situation for her. But this romance with Travis Kelce is more of an arranged marriage than a self-fulfilling romance, and she doesn’t have a choice. Sure, many women can feel for Taylor Swift and identify with her through her music, but she is not in control, and by making herself a vehicle of the anti-Trump movement, she will destroy her brand in the process. Alex Soros doesn’t care, neither does the NFL. They are seeking political outcomes and don’t care about the lives of the people they destroy in the process. They’ll use them in the same short-sighted ways that got them into trouble in the first place. But don’t think all this wasn’t planned out for this upcoming election year. This Taylor Swift romance is another form of mind control that is often part of mass marketing. It’s not authentic; it’s purely manufactured. And indeed, in this case, it’s a strategic weapon against the soft-minded who want to believe in the romance among progressive royalty. Just like the person who pays for sex wants to believe that the person with them loves them, when all they really get out of the deal is money to pay their rent and buy some food.

Signs of the Future: The duel between Bob Iger and Elon Musk

In so many ways the duel between Bob Iger and Elon Musk is indicative of the future warfare that is the key to everything.  Here are two CEOs at the top of their game representing two different directions, and one is distinctly on the wrong side while the other is thriving.  As I say all the time, don’t judge people based on what they say, but on what they do.  And Elon Musk has been evolving slowly for a long time.  This happens to a lot of people as they get more information.  I also say a lot that it’s nearly impossible for a person to have a lot of intelligence and to remain a Democrat.  People might be born into a certain region with specific parents and have certain beliefs.  But through living life and doing things, you learn what works and what doesn’t, and it’s natural to evolve feelings.  And for Elon Musk, it doesn’t take rocket science to figure out that the kind of world he wants to live in, an interplanetary civilization cannot be anything less than a capitalist enterprise.  Centralized governments are too slow and sabotage their society to stay in power, which isn’t good for getting to space.  So Musk has moved in a MAGA direction without calling himself that out of pure necessity, and logic.  Then there is, of course, Bob Iger, Mr. Global Citizen, who has been the CEO of Disney, which has essentially committed suicide to accommodate woke World Economic Forum politics.  Musk has moved away from the World Economic Forum, and Bob Iger has fully embraced it, even giving it a deep French kiss to the doom of his company.  So, it was only a matter of time before these two public personalities would have a very obvious clash.

This new war that we are fighting is one where it’s easy to win against. But the way people are wired exploits them at a very personal level. It is essentially what everyone learned in public school, with the cool kids, the geeks, and the loser social groups and children knowing which one they would all be in, and how social pressure, the need to be liked, would control those behaviors into joining one of those three groups. Because Musk is one of the richest men in the world, of course, he has a lot of parasites looking to live off his efforts, so Disney thought it had leverage on him to pull advertising from the X platform to force Musk to embrace more World Economic Forum strategic goals. Musk responded with an “F You” to Bob Iger and others and made a decidedly sharp turn politically. It was a decided check mate in the chess game of these kinds of activities. Within a few days, Elon Musk facilitated a new show for Tucker Carlson and there was a massive interview with Alex Jones, which resulted in him being reinstated on X, where he had been deplatformed when it was Twitter and a series of events that would spell doom for the World Economic Forum types cascaded into irreversible damage for the big centralized global citizen types that Bob Iger represented. Musk was clearly on the side of tomorrow, whereas Iger was without question on the losing team. But the signs have been stacking up for a while now. The public results were just a matter of time. Disney used to be the center of innovation, but now it was SpaceX and what they have been doing on several technical fronts. Instead of warring with Musk, Disney should have sought to have a relationship with them. Instead, they chose politics, which, as a CEO, was a nail in the coffin for Disney that is quickly sinking the company.

Months before all this occurred, I had taken my family to Disney World for a very large vacation.  I was not crazy about the woke direction of the company, but as I have been saying for several years now, I don’t think that Disney is going to survive as a company, and I wanted my grandchildren and my kids to see it while it is still a great thing.  I love all four of their parks very much, but Epcot Center has always been something special, an optimistic city of tomorrow that showcased all the opportunities of tomorrow.  But tomorrow is today, and many of the things that are showcased at Epcot now look old and out of date.  Disney Parks have become too political; they have not adapted to the true frontier of human need and it shows.  Disney, mainly as Bob Iger has run it, is a looking-back company, not one that is embracing the future.  Bob was all about the World Economic Forum controls from centralized governments that looked to establish equity and inclusion through force and manipulation by those in charge, whereas Elon Musk was embracing the kind of technology that would free people of those methods, and he was looking at capitalism as the means to do it.  Elon Musk wasn’t precisely a Trump guy during his first term.  He wanted to give Joe Biden a chance.  But that quickly changed over the last three years, and now Musk has moved well away from the World Economic Forum view of the world, and that difference is dramatically apparent when you watch SpaceX work and perform a side-by-side analysis of their view of the world with the Epcot Center. 

The trip to Disney had the effect I wanted.  My crew had a really magnificent time at Epcot Center. We went there on two different occasions and used the monorail as our primary means of transportation to get there.  It was great for my family.  But I could see the ghost of a place I used to love, looking old and inward thinking.  It was essentially what the world was trying to do with authoritarian, centralized governments, such as China and the European Union.  That was not the future we were going to experience, and Bob Iger had gambled everything on it.  And when he went to call the bet against Musk, everything went in the opposite direction.  The result was it forced Musk to stop trying to put one foot in and one out on so many topics and go all in toward the future, which means the collapse of central government tyranny.  Putting Alex Jones and Tucker Carlson on X was the reason Musk bought Twitter in the first place.  For the same reason, Trump created his own social media platform, Truth Social.  The future requires a decentralized competition of ideas without the restraint of slow-minded authority figures.  And the results will be very similar to what happened between Musk and Bob Iger but on a truly global scale.  The peer pressure leverage Disney attempted to pull on X is the same kind of backfire that all corporations and political sentiments will experience in the years to come and on a much more ostentatious scale.  Like the Epcot Center, the World Economic Forum’s view of the future was dying and outdated.  It was SpaceX that represented all the opportunities that were coming from a future being designed by capitalism.  And now Elon Musk was fully committed.  Disney had lost that final battle toward forcing the world to become a global citizen at the cost of innovation and freedom.  And if there was any indicator of the things to come, it was that.

The Government is Not in Charge: 2024 is all about rebellion against overbearing parents

I have been quoting from the book Behold a Pale Horse a lot more lately for a lot of reasons.  For one, after reading the recent book, The Wuhan Cover-Up, it is obvious that many of the predictions Bill Cooper talked about are true, much more true than anybody would have wanted to believe in the 90s.  The second thing is that a breakthrough that has never happened before, a central media distribution outlet run by one of the world’s wealthiest people, has reinstated Alex Jones to the world of media, now as a mainstreamer.  This is a massive achievement and one that very few people saw coming.  Alex Jones, similar to Bill Cooper, identified threats to the system of government that we have been dealing with for many years.  Cooper was killed in a gunfight on his front porch.  Alex Jones has been killed socially in as many ways as a person can be.  Yet, he has risen again through Elon Musk’s efforts, which I think is completely out of self-interest.  Yet, it is genuine and should be an answer to everyone wondering what comes next.  The other is that Bill Cooper had a brilliant commentary in his book Beyond a Pale Horse that describes the current time very well: that all people grow up to become adults.  As rebellious teenagers, they think they know it all, but by the time they start paying for their own things, a car payment, a house, or giving birth to children, the pressure of those experiences takes most people back to a desire they had as kids for a parental figure.  So they seek a parental figure in government, and they vote accordingly.  These government types have fallen in love with their role as parents rather than representatives, and we have the world we see today.

I am not the kind of person who has ever looked to the government for a parental role.  I have always been the kind of person that many parents hated.  All my friends and girlfriends’ parents growing up hated me.  I mean, they absolutely hated me.  I didn’t do drugs or cuss; I always worked and had jobs, I read books, I did all the things that you’d think people would relish.  But when parents found out that their kids were hanging around with me, which is true in adulthood, they also freaked out.  “Don’t waste your time around Rich Hoffman, he’s a killer; he gets in fights all the time, and he’s dangerous!”  All those things were true, but the perspective was wrong, and I became so used to it that nothing that authority figures have done surprises me because essentially, it all boils down to that little quirk that people have which Bill Cooper identified in people, their lack of confidence in themselves to stand up to overbearing parents who move into government positions so that they can have control over people because they are power hungry tyrants that didn’t get enough satisfaction in such a role when they were parents.  It was so bad for me that many of these tyrant types would prefer people like Bill Cooper and Alex Jones into the media world as conspiracy figures because they at least showed some form of acceptance of parental role models in their lives. Bill was a Navy guy, and Jones was at least a good son.  So when authority figures assess such people and how to deal with them, at least those guys showed signs of being tempered socially if things spiraled out of control, which they eventually did. 

Glenn Beck, of course, has well-known problems; he was a drug addict for several years and reformed himself into the radio host he is today, which is very popular.  And when I heard him recently wondering if the government would even allow us to have an election in 2024, he was speaking from that same role of a child wondering if their parents would let them spend the night at little Jimmy’s place if only he ate his oatmeal.  And I shook my head because millions of people were concerned that the government would take away President Trump again and that the big nasty people at the World Economic Forum might release a new virus to evoke the Great Reset part II.  So let me tell you the dangerous part out loud, that few people in the world understand for all kinds of psychological reasons and something I’ve been telling people for more than 50 years.  Humanity is growing up.  Elon Musk is growing up, which is reflected in his decisions when running his companies.  President Trump grew up from a compliant child who listened to his father to overtake him, and now he wants to bring that same mentality to the government to free people of the dependent nature of a child complaining about an overbearing parent in government.  Our Constitution was written assuming that we didn’t want to spend our lives as groveling children listening to their dominating, worthless parents.  I used to say to kids when I was growing up, about their parents, “do you want to grow up and be like those losers, afraid of everything, fat, slow-minded, filled with fear?”  Or do you want to be your own person?  For that, I was the most hated person on earth, and I learned to like it. 

The government, no government, is in control of us.  We are free people and will decide what we do or don’t do.  Not some parental government.  And that is what 2024 is all about.  Read it.  Think about it.  And watch what happens.  This is a time of graduating from high school and moving out of our parent’s house to live on our own.  To take responsibility for our own lives.  And to be all that we want to be without nosy parents sticking their fearful attributes into our freedom-loving minds.  We are not victims of their stupidity; we are in charge and have a right to be.  I am essentially doing today what I have done all my life: encourage people not to become their stupid parents.  But to be free and live their own lives in their own way.  Don’t listen to your timid governments.  Rebel, live free, and become the subject of your dreams instead of just another fearful adult who got a taste of life and responsibility and cleaved to move back in with your parents for security.  Most of the world has moved back in with their parents, and as they move into their thirties and forties, they try to, but their parents are old and no longer able to give them that childhood security.  So, they turn to the government as the new parental figure.  But guess what, those idiots aren’t in charge, they don’t have any real power.  And they won’t be able to stop what’s coming.  Do you know why?  Because their power only comes from the timid children.  Once the children figure out how much power they have all along, then rebellion is inevitable.  And that is precisely what the political situation will be going into in 2024.  And there is nothing the parents in government can do to stop it.  Only timid children wonder if mom and dad’s government will get mad at them if they don’t arrive home by curfew and eat all their soup.

34 Trillion in the Nation Debt: What do you expect from the father of Hunter Biden, reckless spending, reckless lifestyles, and reckless politics have cost us all

You can’t spend 1 trillion dollars more in just the last 100 days toward the national debt and not have consequences.  These are not the old days when politicians could buy support with free giveaways.  That level of spending which has been pushed by the Biden administration, illegally put in place, not reflective of voter management, has been spending money in the same way that Hunter Biden has on crack whores and sex clubs, recklessly and without concern for tomorrow, at all.  To demand a continued resolution on the current spending levels in Congress is to order the destruction of our country, which many attached to the Biden administration want.  So, there is no shame in shutting down the government and getting the books balanced, which will be painful.  Very painful.  But the can has been kicked down the road for decades.  I’ve talked about it extensively, and now, here is that brick wall I’ve been warning about.  It’s here.  And any politician who wants to live into tomorrow will have to get their arms around a new culture where spending cuts are embraced and valued, rather than what we have had for so many years.  The game is over, and the complicit media also has their hands in the mess, which people see as not in their best interest.  The spending level of their current American government can only be viewed as a hostile assault against our nation, and the way out will cause a lot of hurt feelings.  But the American people will trend not to care about those feelings.  Ruling people with hurt feelings is how things became so far out of control, and now the political trend of tomorrow is the complete opposite, which will not go well for Democrats.  For them, making it harder for them to commit election fraud is terrible because they won’t be able to win anywhere.  But being unable to give money out to buy votes will be far worse, and I can only say they had it coming. 

The pre-Covid spending levels were ridiculous, and what we are discussing now is much worse.  So nobody should complain when Congress has to put its foot down and demand a retraction on spending.  All the pressure groups in Washington will have to learn that the money isn’t there.  Going into 2024 and watching all the support heading toward Trump, even from moderates who used to be never-Trumpers, the primary blame game is looking at you in the mirror.  Everyone who signed up for all this ridiculous spending, especially the wasted money going to Ukraine, has their bloody hands all over this mess, and they are going to have to pay.  Politics is going to have to change in America because the politicians screwed it all up and tried to borrow their way out of it.  It happened mainly because so many people, just as they did during the Covid crises, that governments created as a bioweapon to control mass behavior were lied to and manipulated into saying yes to these current levels of spending.  That’s what it takes to run a defective house, a lifestyle like Hunter Biden.  That is what our Congress has been, and the Senate has been rubber stamping so they can get free lunches and full bank accounts off a system disastrous and out of touch with reality.  What does anybody think will happen in the next 100 days?  Are we going to spend another trillion into debt?  How about a year away by the time the next election is resolved?  The people who wasted all this money are either too stupid to understand what they have done, or worse, and most likely, they knew all along and did it anyway, for the destruction of our country with continued open border policies designed to collapse America into globalism. 

The spending levels in America have been a purposeful policy of self-destruction that has been deliberately malicious.  And the only way out is to either fight it out in the streets or dramatically cut back government.  Those jobs reports given out each month that show a few hundred thousand jobs created are often directly connected to government jobs, especially over the last few years when the government has dramatically expanded, but the real economic numbers have shown a severe decline, recession, and depression measurements.  Nobody has talked about such a thing for the same reasons that nobody wanted to talk about Hunter Biden.  These spending maniacs could sympathize with Hunter Biden’s lifestyle.  They may not have physically been operating as he did, but they were functionally just as bad.  So, at some point, all those falsely created government union jobs would have to disappear.  The system will have to be corrected with accurate reflections not propped up by debt, and people will have to face the grim reality.  That likely won’t happen until Trump is back in office and everyone can honestly discuss how bad the Biden administration has been.  Of course, a father who produces a loser like Hunter Biden is going to apply the same destructive traits to everything they touch, including the spending limits of our nation, purposeful or through compulsion.  The bottom line is that it was done, and now the end of the road has arrived.  And the people who have built their lives around that recklessness will feel the pain.

I will always argue that it was great that Trump had to step out of the White House for a few years.  We did not have a House or Senate that would give him the votes he needed to make a lot of the changes that must be made, especially fiscally.  If Trump had just started a second term, America would have been better off, but some deep problems would have moved further down the road.  The Biden administration accelerated the process, so we must now deal with reality.  That means significant reforms to the centralized banking system, the trouble we have with the Fed, and market expansion that will come with a space-based economy that is not a shared venture with loser countries still locked in socialism and communism.  And massive cuts to the government employment sector, reconfiguring those jobs to the market expansions from technology improvements.  The only way out of 34 trillion dollars in debt is to let the world collapse, turn America into a significant change in market supply, turn inward as a nation, and fix what’s broken before ever considering helping anyone else.  All the personalities who have caused all these problems have lost their leverage by going full throttle into the wall, and people are now poised to no longer support them.  Instead, they will support politicians who are leaning toward MAGA instead of the traditional Big Government types of the past.  I see it happening in Central Committees in Ohio now, and that trend will only continue.  We want politicians who will say no, not yes, to spending options that will root out all the bad guys operating maliciously in the background all along.  And their day of punishment has arrived.  It will be painful for them.  But, they deserve all they will get, and then some for what they did. Don’t feel sorry for them.  The pain they feel is for their own good.

The Ohio Republican Party Endorses President Trump: When I say something, pay attention and benefit yourself

I would offer to anybody who would care to do the work to point out when I was wrong.  Occasionally, I may support a political candidate that doesn’t quite get over the finish line, such as the Russ Loges situation in Butler County, Ohio.  But that was due to him being put on the ticket with a loser, someone I didn’t support, which pulled him down.  But generally, when I help someone or propose a topic for discussion with resolutions attached, I tend to be right.  And I would dare anybody to go over my many years of doing this kind of thing and show me where I have ever been wrong, especially on big topics that are very controversial, such as the Covid attack we experienced around the world.  I was one of the very first people to explain what was happening, and everything I said, everything, turned out to be right even if it took a few years to unravel the story.  So I’m not a spike the football kind of guy, but this is an occasion where I have to spike the football because there was so much opposition along the way, I deserve to spike the football now and then.  This is about several Lincoln Day Dinner conversations that I had in April of 2023 when Ron DeSantis came to speak with his wife, and they were presented to us as the final solution for the 2024 Republican nomination.  As I said on that day, and as was confirmed in December of 2023, the Ohio Republican Party has endorsed President Trump for the 2024 election, and I can’t help but say, “I told you so.” 

Those were dark days after the 2020 election, and I have watched the Republican Party quickly try to bounce back to the mess it was before Trump came along.  It wasn’t that long ago when I had a VIP opportunity to meet with all the Ohio bigwigs at an event in West Chester that involved Kid Rock, and I politely did something else.  At that time, these were the biggest names in politics, and just under ten years later, almost none of them are still in the game.  They have been removed from office in some form or another, and I saw that coming way before anybody else did.  Even before Trump came down the escalator, I was for Trump and said so while everyone else was supporting, well, everyone else.  I quickly saw Trump’s advantages, which are pretty evident today.  I knew what the real challenges were to the Constitution, and I knew it would take a personality like Trump to accomplish our objectives.  And nobody else would be able to.  It took the election of 2016 for everyone to get on board, and even then, it wasn’t until the actual inauguration that people openly admitted to supporting Trump.  And I thought it was disgusting when so many people were quick to jump off the Trump train after the stolen election of 2020.  Yes, it was stolen.  How could anybody think otherwise by this crooked, criminal government that wants someone like Joe Biden in the White House?  How obvious does it have to be for people?  Yet quickly, in the wake of the 2020 election, people retreated to their former positions of supporting weak presidential candidates in 2024.  It made no sense.  The trajectory of the country was not headed in a RINO direction, so why did so many intelligent people insist on such picks?  What did they think would happen as a result?  Didn’t they understand the game that was on the table in our country and worldwide?

At the Lincoln Dinner 2024, I listened to some bizarre theories about why Ron DeSantis would be better than Trump in the White House and I couldn’t help but scratch my head.  That dinner was an excellent event where we all had a chance to meet DeSantis and his wife, and I saw nothing in their personalities that said, “These are the leaders of the free world.”  So why did people insist that DeSantis would be Trump lite, and that was exactly what our country needed?  I disagreed politely, of course.  Nobody knew what was going to happen next.  I had very strong feelings that I knew.  But you never know until you know.  I explained to everyone how Trump would win his legal cases, why he wouldn’t be thrown in jail, that the social media landscape would change to Trump’s advantage, and that he was the only Republican worth supporting.  People thought I was crazy and had drunk the Trump Train Kool-Aid too much and had lost perspective.  So, it was a frustrating night.  I was in the minority and have been for the past three years.  Since Trump was removed from office, I began adding videos to my written articles and there are now well over a thousand of them, most of them are about Trump in some way or another, explaining why Trump is great for America and global politics and I put them out for free, so people can have some point of reference.  Yet many brilliant people couldn’t see what was right in front of their faces, which was baffling. 

The smoke has cleared a lot since then, even though it was just a few months ago, and the Ohio Republican Party has formally endorsed President Trump once again.  The Central Committees get it, and increasingly, the Republican Party is a lot better than that event I spoke about in West Chester with all the heavyweights who lost much of their appeal over the next few years.  But through that smoke, I have called things accurately despite the opposition, and here we are.  Trump is way ahead in the polls.  All court cases against Trump have turned out to be nothing and we are watching our country punch through a very dark time, and redemption is on the radar.  By endorsing Trump, now the Republican Party can get on the same page, which it has needed to do for a while now.  All the fragmented opinions can now be joined, and we can focus on winning.  As I said, there is no place in the future for authoritarian government like what the Biden administration offers.  That is not where people are, nor will they ever be.  The Trump offering is the opposite of what the media is declaring: an authoritarian regime.  It is they who are the authoritarians.  Trump is freedom from that approach and it is just bizarre that more Republicans didn’t see it all along.  So, getting the Ohio Republican Party endorsement was a huge announcement, not just for me, but it allowed everyone else to get on board and unite the party.  I continue to write and say a lot of things, much of them, if not all of them, will turn out to be true.  I hope people will make it easier on themselves and listen instead of trying to fight me over every little thing in the future.  I say things, people listen.  That’s how it works.  Listen and benefit.  That would be the best approach, and when it comes to Trump, it took everyone way too long to get there.  But at least they are there now, and we can put our minds to good things to come because we all deserve it.

‘The Wuhan Cover-Up’: ‘Behold a Pale Horse’

As I was reading it, I kept thinking about Behold a Pale Horse, a classic conspiracy book that is considered a Bible for “truthers.” But the moment that an advanced copy of The Wuhan Cover-Up by Robert F. Kennedy arrived, well over a year behind schedule, I started reading it. I finished it 20 hours later as the sun was coming up the next day filled with anger. I didn’t want William Cooper to be right. I read many books, and I enjoy books on conspiracy theories because they are imaginative, more than I would consider them factual. And Behold a Pale Horse is a monster of a book, that has always been disconcerting in the background. What are the world’s elite, and why do they think they have so much power? As I read the Cooper book way back in the 90s in a little breakfast place facing the Kroger in Clifton on the U.C. campus in Cincinnati I thought it was wild, and would best be summed up by the first Matrix movie. Who was really in charge of all civilization? My omelet tasted great as I thought about those kinds of deep and complex things when Bill Clinton was in his first term. And when Covid came along, I thought first about all that Cooper had said in that book and others like him who were already part of the “truther” movement, the kind of people who thought that the CIA and FBI had orchestrated with radicle Islam the attack on 9/11. “No,” I said to myself. There is no way that our own people would try to kill us in order to drive a massive expansion of the government and its power. I didn’t want to think such things, but the moment Covid hit, there was no more denying it. It was evident that all the conspiracies were true, at least most of them. There was a government operating beyond our elected government, we were calling it the Deep State. And they were vile killers working to appease forces not talked about on the nightly news, and they were a menace to all civilization.

This book has the goods!

I couldn’t stop reading The Wuhan Cover-Up, and as I did, reports started floating around the internet that Robert F. Kennedy, who is a Democrat running for president as an independent who takes more votes away from Biden than Trump, had spent time on flights with Jeffery Epstein. And that Kennedy’s wife had a relationship with Ghislaine Maxwell. That by itself didn’t bother me, it was the timing of it that did. There were a lot of people caught up in the Epstein extortion racket, and the temptation to eat the forbidden fruit was too much for people to resist. I find that people who fall in such a way often look to redeem themselves in other ways, and Kennedy has been great on issues involving government intrusions into medicine. He’s still a Democrat, though, so I don’t expect much from him morally or ethically. It doesn’t surprise me to learn that he flew on Epstein’s plane that naturally involved underaged girls serving the powerful elite, or at least that’s how they like to think of themselves. Rather, why was that information coming out now? Kennedy has written other books, very controversial ones such as the recent The Real Anthony Fauci, which The Wuhan Cover-Up is a sequel. But this latest one is different. The Real Anthony Fauci was dangerous because it clearly showed a behavior pattern that would easily stand up in court with raw facts. Fauci and Bill Gates knew what they were doing, and they worked to suppress a proper response to COVID by attacking countermeasures known early in the process, such as hydroxychloroquine and Ivermectin, and millions of people died. As a result, the world essentially adopted the United Nations climate change approach to medicine to deal with COVID-19, and the big government expanded its tyrannical authority globally, just as predicted in Cooper’s classic book. It was a power grab that was so ostentatious that nobody could believe it was happening, just as it has taken them a long time to admit it.

This is a serious story, but why is it coming out now? They think you are stupid

But what The Wuhan Cover-Up does that hasn’t been done yet in other books about the Covid crisis that was entirely manufactured by the same kind of people described in Cooper’s exposé of doom and gloom that it shows the who, what, where, why, and when’s on the malicious intent of the governments and their financial backers on the biggest crime in the history of the world, the purposeful murder of millions and the deliberate harm of many more for control and centralized authority.  As The Wuhan Cover-Up establishes, chain of custody was a bioweapons program that had been utilized in America, but as its dangers were pointed out, it was moved to less restrictive markets in China with the full knowledge of everyone involved, especially people like Dr. Fauci and Bill Gates.  Once this bioweapons research was in Wuhan, it got out, either by accident or on purpose.  As I read The Wuhan Cover-Up word for word, it’s pretty straightforward, based on the evidence, that it was purposeful, and that’s where the script shifts to books like Behold a Pale Horse.  2020 was the year that the Deep State was making its move at the World Economic Forum. They wanted control of the global economy through The Great Reset, and they weren’t going to put up with another term of Trump. 

These are killers who have no respect for the American rule of law or the Constitution.  They believe they operate with the full authority of the forces talked about in the Cooper classic, and the truth is worse.  Kennedy firmly established that he believed the CIA killed his uncle, based on firm evidence that remains classified but has been leaked, President Kennedy, and after what we watched happened to Nixon, Reagan, and now Trump, it is pretty evident that the intelligence community, the same people who are always trying to debunk UFOs, are not working for American sovereignty, but some fourth branch of government that justifies itself under the guise of “national security.”  Look out for the little green men, and give us endless black budgets funded by a corrupt Federal Reserve that prints infinite money accountable to nobody for global domination by invisible forces.  Those forces made themselves known with the bioweapon of COVID-19, which was just a test for them.  And they can now see how much they can get away with in the future.  Murder and mass extinction events are certainly part of their strategy.  I closed the book, The Wuhan Cover-Up, around 4:30 AM the following morning in the way I had completed the book on Behold a Pale Horse in the little eatery on that college campus thirty-five years earlier.  Realization is quite evident in those moments.  Everyone needed to read this book by Robert F. Kennedy, and I couldn’t wait to talk about it and share the information with as many people as possible.  It’s a book with good content and should be a priority for everyone in my audience.  Get it, read it, use it, and give it out as a Christmas present.  The more people who read The Wuhan Cover-Up, the better.  It’s not a crazy conspiracy theory book, and the bad guys don’t want people to read it, which is part of the delaying process, and why the story about Epstein was released, to attempt to discredit Kennedy before this book made the waves.  But it’s a packed book filled with facts and many footnotes.  It’s designed for lawyers to prosecute the greatest crime in history in court.  But it’s accessible enough for everyone who wants to understand what happened to us and by whom.  Even though they are in the millions, the perpetrators must be punished. Otherwise, they will do it again.  We don’t want the world talked about in Behold a Pale Horse.  Because, as of now, we do. 

I know this is tough to deal with, most people just want to live life, buy groceries, watch a movie with their spouse, and raise their kids. I personally like people like William Cooper, the author of Behold a Pale Horse. I think it’s a shame that he died in a shootout with authorities. There were probably better ways to deal with that subject. But asking questions against a tyrannical insurgent that likely hides deeply in the shadows of our reality is dangerous business. But it’s not their world, and people like Cooper had a right to ask tough questions, even if he was given a lot of nonsense to hold and drive the control narrative in the way that the power players wanted it to be shaped. Ultimately, when the power people lose their patience, or things don’t work out the way they hope and plan, they turn to violence, and that was how things ended for William Cooper in a bloody gunfight. And when Covid was unleashed, it was the same kind of bloodthirsty ruthlessness. But that’s the truth of things, let’s not have any illusions about it. What matters for our present time is to understand that these maniacal lunatics hide in the shadows for a reason because they don’t want you to know what kind of people they are or what they are up to. And when they feel their grip on power losing control, they do kill. They always kill. And kill they did when they built the COVID-19 virus and unleashed it upon the world in 2020. The proof is in the book The Wuhan Cover-Up and The Terrifying Bioweapons Arms Race. What they did to William Cooper, they have no problem doing to every one of us. And they won’t shed a tear.

The Biden Push for EV Vehicles: A total disaster by a tyrannical government that tampered with markets with massive failure

I do find the Tesla Truck a desirable option, not because it’s an electric vehicle, but because it’s armored, and would be a good addition to my lifestyle.  It would have come in handy a couple of times last week.  The bulletproof windows for small arms fire and the stainless steel body would be great things to have.  But Tesla is a good car company. Aside from the new Tesla Truck, they are fancy golf carts with reasonable market options for a gasoline economy.  And they have carved out a nice little niche for themselves, supported by just enough public interest to be interesting.  The drawback for me is all the charging, and the frequency of it.  Around town, for the stuff under 20 miles, the Tesla Truck would be great for my lifestyle.  For anything over those short stints, charging becomes a problem.  I know where most of the Tesla charging stations are within a few hundred miles of my home, and they are pretty well thought out, so long as there aren’t a lot of other Tesla drivers looking to charge their vehicles simultaneously.  So, as long as Tesla vehicles stay in a small market where they are rare on the road, buying one is much more attractive than if they were common and had to wait in line to charge their vehicles during long-distance travel.  It’s hard to beat the way travel is now, where fuel stops take under 15 minutes.  We have a very busy economy, which makes sense because it is the world’s most productive.  So, anything added to that economy by way of transportation needs to observe the rules of the game, which is speed.  And electric vehicles don’t have it.  They take too long to charge, and you must charge them too often.  Otherwise, I would say that the Tesla Truck is a superior vehicle.

But don’t say I didn’t say so on this electric vehicle market problem that has hit us, because of government intervention.  The Biden administration, thinking it knew better than the consumers, imposed all these regulations on car manufacturers to make more electric vehicles in their war against fossil fuels, and now all these companies, like Ford, have produced electric cars that are sitting on lots that nobody wants, and panic is setting in.  All the major car companies listened to the Biden administration when it was declared by such and such date, within this present decade, that all cars would be electric.  Of course, we know that Biden didn’t come up with all this nonsense on his own.  Rather, he was told what to do by the global World Economic Forum communists and their cult of love for Mother Earth, an insidious love that would make Norman Bates jealous.  Their beliefs should be considered technically insane, nobody should be listening to them to construct any public policy.  This is a consistent theme with these global lefties; they are authoritarian types who view government as a kingly mechanism and everyone is their subject who must honor every kind of edict constructed by the court no matter how dumb it is.  People are to do what they are told and to appease their king.  And if that king, or kings, decide that people should be driving fancy golf carts, that is just how it will be.  So, a complete dedication to the EV marketplace was imposed by the American government through a stolen election, and like a bunch of dumb fools trying to appease their insane king, the car companies tried to make a switch to all EV cars to meet the target dates set by the government. 

But that’s not how it works, not anywhere.  There is a reason most of the world’s economies are not very effective: they have socialist and communist governments that impose too many constraints on their financial opportunities.  Constraints take time, and they cost money.  They make bureaucrats and administrators happy by feeling like they are doing work when all they do is slow things down, which then holds down a country’s GDP.  The government in America doesn’t like Tesla cars for all kinds of reasons, mainly because of the way Elon Musk has built his factories, which are largely automated.  Automated factories don’t need unionized labor that can threaten to strike every five seconds and sleep on the job while watching Netflix movies—so big labor combined with big government is often the same.  Communist labor unions influence most government jobs, so they start with the wrong thinking.  So, the government thought it knew best to ignore the one EV company that had worked to satisfy a real market value for electronic vehicles, then would impose on the other corporations that were doing fine making gas-powered vehicles that they would all switch over to electronic vehicles, where the batteries are made in China largely, creating single point failures everywhere.  It was a hugely dumb idea, yet the Biden administration committed to it in the first months of his presidency, and now, three years later, there is a panic from those car companies that nobody wants their product.  Americans aren’t buying EV cars, not to the point that they were expected to, and now there is all this investment in a market economy that nobody wants, which is a big problem. 

But what’s worse is that the plot looks even dumber.  Now that all the car companies are failing, the real intention of the plan seems to be to make personal vehicles so expensive that ordinary people couldn’t afford them, forcing people to move back into their cities where public transportation would become the dominant form of personal transit once again.  Again, the Biden government represents an authority approach where slowing down is their method of choice.  My children had just returned from Europe, where they took the bullet trains all over the place.  They are interesting, but when you get to a train station in Edinburgh or Paris, then what?  You walk, take a bicycle, hire a driver.  People quickly lose their independence, which was always the point.  In America, you drive your big car from city to city, and once you get where you are going, you take your vehicle.  You don’t wait for a train, Uber, or anything.  The minds of the insane have created all this micromanagement in these 15-minute city concepts.  And now we see the cost of their authority approach in billions and billions of lost economic opportunities.  Rather than meet Adam Smith’s invisible hand of market need, they thought imposing their vision onto financial standards was best.  And the result has been utterly disastrous.  And just in time for the next election, it’s all hitting the fan, as I said it would, years in advance.  If only they had listened.  But many fools followed each other over the cliff and now have themselves to blame.  Government should support the expansion of market economies, not get in its way and that is the real problem with all the EVs sitting around looking for customers that will never come.  The government tried to shape the market rather than adapt to the growing need for economic expansion.  It hasn’t worked anywhere, especially in the United States.  If EV cars were truly the best, and Tesla at this point makes the best, they would find their way into market consideration.  Instead, the government has decided to pick winners and losers, and if people didn’t like it, they could take a train, which is the answer all left-leaning politicians come up with, which has turned out to be predictably, and grotesquely wrong.
