Drawing a Line in the Sand: Shut down the Government, Shut down the Border, and force one-day voting, verified with an ID and a paper ballot

Just a note to Mike Johnson and the other Republicans who are getting caught playing in the Democrat game in Congress that was created by radical, unionized labor attached to all these ridiculous government unions. The name of the game is not to keep a majority in Congress. I’m sure the new Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, thinks that his job is to win a more significant majority in Congress while he is Speaker and that he doesn’t have much latitude to negotiate with the opposition regarding budgets because if just a few more Republicans retire, then he will lose his Speaker role and the House will go back to the Democrats. Then he won’t have any power to play this game. So, from his perspective, I can understand why he would think he has to play nice with everyone on a Continued Resolution regarding the federal budget and how to play that game in 2024. I am happy that my congressman, Warren Davidson, and fellow Ohio House member Jim Jordon have not been happy that Johnson is playing nice with the Democrats and RINOs regarding the budget. These are not the times for timid souls, and with our national debt heading to 35 trillion dollars within a few more months, this is not a time to spend more money. Republicans must stop the bleeding and at least get the budget back to under pre-COVID numbers (I would say pre-1990 numbers), and everyone has to admit to what’s going on. There are hostile forces in the world who are taking advantage of the United States and intend to spend us into oblivion like a bunch of reckless teenagers who suddenly have their parent’s credit card; only they never plan to pay back the money. They intend to collapse America financially, and that would be the type of people designing the Davos meeting next week, where the first topic is the Role America Plays in the World as if it were up to them to figure that out.

Republicans must admit that they don’t have a majority. They have some like-minded people who have a dozen or so RINOs who behave like Democrats. So until the Freedom Caucus types have a majority in Congress, there is no absolute majority. Mike Johnson is in that role without a majority, and if he plays along with the RINOs and Democrats, he will lose his brand forever and certainly won’t be any good to anybody in the future. So what he should do, as well as the other Republicans who are fiscally conservative, is to draw a line in the sand on the budget. Shut down the government or shut down the border. And leave it all right there. Nobody will care if it causes the Republicans to lose the majority in 2024. They will care if Mike Johnson continues to play softball with the Democrats for fear that he will lose his Speakership with that very slim majority. If Kevin McCarthy cared about the Republican Party, he wouldn’t have retired, making that majority even narrower. You can never let the enemy determine the ground for battle. You always have to exploit the weaknesses of your enemy, which is what the Democrats are doing to Republicans: their fear of losing a majority, rather than turning the tables on the Democrats, which is to exploit their reckless spending at a time when we technically have been in a depression economically for a few years now, only propped up by phony media numbers to attempt to make Joe Biden look better. However, all economic indicators show the truth, and Democrats need to pay for that truth by not letting them hide behind Republicans through this little game of budget talks.

Nobody is going to care if the government is shut down. Instead, Republicans would likely pick up more of a majority in 2024 and beyond if they stood for something and fought back.  I know many of these politicians aren’t used to hardball negotiations; for many of them, their government work is kind of a pre-retirement job or a way to work their legal profession without hustling for customers.  Government work is safe, stable employment that pays pretty well.  So they do the government work instead of working in the dog-eat-dog world of the private sector.  So, we are not talking about the best people in society doing these government jobs, such as representing us in Congress or the Senate.  But when you are talking about the kind of money that countries can steal from its people through taxation and how that money is then spent, especially on government unions where the wages are way too high for the minimal amount of work that we get from those positions, most of these nice guys, like Mike Johnson don’t have a chance in negotiations.  They don’t know how to play hardball, so they are easily suckered when the pressure is applied, and that’s how the Democrats like it.  They like chaos and compromised people who operate with lots of guilt that they can exploit for their infinite needs as social parasites.  And there is no peaceful way to deal with them.  Republicans must learn to play hardball, and they should start now.  Don’t worry about maintaining the majority.  Just do what’s right, and the people will reward them, likely with much larger majorities and absolute power.  Not this sissy stuff they have now.  Don’t play their game. 

This is another reason why it is essential to talk about the massive election fraud we have had in the past and why all Republicans need to get back to paper ballots and one day of voting.  All those dumb ideas of multiple get-out-the-vote campaigns have only invited election fraud.  There is one day of voting on a paper ballot, and you must prove that you are an American citizen with an ID to vote—end of story.  Shut down the border.  Shut down the government.  Return to paper ballots and one day of voting with a verified ID.  And Republicans would find that they would have a much more substantial majority than now, and they’d have the ability to have absolute power over the finances.  This little majority they have now doesn’t do anything for anybody.  Don’t be afraid to lose it.  Let the Democrats choke on it now while it still matters.  Don’t put your names on any continued resolutions for more debt.  Cut off all the parasites who have embedded themselves in our budgets and exploit them for what they are.  But don’t get caught in this silly keep-away game that the media uses to determine wins and losses.  To maintain the slim majority in Congress, Mike Johnson has to work with the people trying to destroy it.  Be ready to give up that Speaker role and toss it back to Democrats so people can see what they are.  Put your energy into preventing election fraud and getting rid of those losers.  Instead of playing the losers’ game and continuing to waste money on a big government none of us need.  Shut the government down and make it so that Democrats are the ones responsible for closing Yellowstone and the Smoky Mountains.  The government shouldn’t control those recreational areas anyway.   Play hardball and play to destroy the opposition.  Put them on stage so people can see what they are.  And don’t feel you must get along with them. Instead, kill them politically for the enemies of America that they are, and don’t feel you have to hold hands with evil to hold a majority in Congress that isn’t real.

The New Speaker, Mike Johnson: Taking our government back from the Marxists and lobbyists

I keep telling everyone how good conflict is to any management system, especially in politics.  A great example is in how the Speaker of the House race was determined with Mike Johnson, a relative unknown who is probably more conservative than Jim Jordan.  This dumb idea of consensus building is a Marxist concept where one party’s rule convinces other people to make their own decisions for their own best interests.  It does not find the best people for the job, it eliminates them, and it doesn’t matter what field of professional endeavor it is applied.  It’s always the same.  The panic when one of the establishment Republicans was not elected as Speaker of the House was comical.  As I said, we can live without a Speaker of the House.  But the lobbyist culture can’t, and those were the people most vocal when House members rejected all the previous offerings.  The days where we get stuck with people who will sell us out, like Mitch McConnell, are over, and it’s because of how often they have let us down.  The free ride for manipulators of our Representative Republic is done.  We have seen the kind of world they want to give us, and we don’t like it.  So, this Speaker of the House situation in 2023 is just the beginning of many things to come that we could best describe for the bad guys as the “gnashing of teeth.”  After much discussion about who the Speaker of the House would be after Kevin McCarthy was removed for breaking his promises to the Freedom Caucus just a few months earlier, it took time to find someone everyone could agree on, and a typical lobbyist representative was not going to cut it.  The news media had meltdowns daily as to why Republicans couldn’t agree on the next Speaker, and for weeks, no names were seriously considered.  RINO after RINO was put forth, but there was no interest in voting for another “do nothing” just to be a placeholder for the lobbyists from K-Street.  Finally, a good person was elected, Mike Johnson. 

Most people don’t realize, because their lives are so entangled in it, just how much Marxism is lodged into their lives.  I live my life wonderfully free of its effects, so it is surprising to me how much people have been seduced by Marxism over time, and it’s obvious when fights like this Speaker thing show the beliefs of the mass population.  But what else would people believe? Ever since the invention of mass media, the mind control apparatus of vile characters has been working full-time to sell Marxism to the world through its trusted news sources.  Well, trusted until a lack of performance has let us down to the point of no return, which is where we find ourselves today.  People have been disrespected by those who want to essentially rule the world and apply Marxism as their means to maintain control.  I have been writing about it for decades and talking about it for far longer.  This consensus-building nonsense has always been destructive, and it’s the method of every school board in the country learned by their established practices.  We see it in corporate America, even globally.  But in essence, all it is is a rip-off of gullible people taken advantage of by the wolves of the world dressed up as grandma only to eat Little Red Riding Hood.  We have self-rule in America, and it has produced the most excellent economy in the world, which then provides the best opportunities for most people, which is also why the world as a whole is doing whatever it can to get into America.  But the methods of established practices through the nonsense of consensus building is as anti-American as you can get, and that’s why we have so much corrupt politics in Washington, D.C.  Mike Johnson is a decision to move in a different direction.

It is almost a joke that so many people, especially in the media, are surprised by the selection of Mike Johnson to be the new Speaker.  I talk about it all the time; my experience with Washington, D.C., has never been a good one.  I find it obliviously disgusting that there are so many leeches off the system. You see it best displayed if you spend time on K-Street and compare the daytime with the night.  So many people are there with very low moral codes, running around busily as if the work they are doing has any meaning when all they are doing is paving the way for big donors to buy a policy that benefits them.  Going way back into the 90s, I saw the writing on the wall.  Businesses felt they had to pay lobbyists to do essential representation for them because that was how the rigged system was developing.  We had elections, and people would vote, but the representatives did the deeds of those who padded their pockets financially.  And that’s obvious by the bank accounts of many politicians, pigs at the trough like Joe Biden.  It’s not just him, but the SWAMP makes people like Hunter Biden, crack addict losers who live off the efforts of others, just like Marxism produces everywhere in the world.  This is why corrupt people love Marxism because they can permanently hide in the background and never do anything of real merit but still be treated with importance.  And it has allowed political figures to sell off their offices and get rich while the rest of the world clamors in desperation for actual representation in government. 

And I keep telling people that the support of President Trump is not a fleeting thing.  The nature of politics is changing for good not because of Trump.  But people like Trump will only find that people will support them, which is the issue with selecting Mike Johnson for the Speaker role.  These MAGA supporters are looked at as terrorists by the Marxist insurgents who have placed themselves under the wheels of the will of the people because that’s how our system is thankfully designed.  They have been functioning otherwise, but that’s to their detriment.  In truth, Mike Johnson is just the most recent example.  In a few years, there will be people like him running the Senate, too, and running the FBI and Department of Defense.  People were conned; they weren’t stupid.  They got caught trusting bad people, and over time, the clock has run out on that trust.  So, we see people like Trump and Johnson moving into government positions.  The gravy train is ending, and there is no way to stop it, so the media is panicking over how the Speaker was selected.  There will be a day in the not-so-distant future when Trump won’t be in politics any longer.  But the desire for people like Mike Johnson won’t go away.  It will only increase, and that is because people desire proper representation by competent people.  It’s not the kind of sell-outs that gave politics a bad name in the first place.  Everyone should know better than to think that this scam would go on forever.  But people weren’t going to trust these losers perpetually.  People don’t want Marxism in America, so all the plots that have worked to make Marxism the standard of the world were always going to fall short, and those effects are happening as we speak and in ways that nobody has previously considered, to their detriment.
