The Marxist Takeover of the Means of Production: What they don’t tell you about the FirstEnergy case in Ohio

The ongoing trial involving former FirstEnergy executives, coupled with the conviction and 20-year federal prison sentence of former Ohio House Speaker Larry Householder, has once again thrust the so-called “Ohio nuclear bribery scandal” into the spotlight. This case, centered on House Bill 6 (HB6) and a $1.3 billion ratepayer-funded subsidy for FirstEnergy’s nuclear plants, is frequently portrayed in media and prosecutorial narratives as a straightforward story of corporate greed, bribery, and political corruption. At the same time, there is no denying that significant sums of money changed hands in ways that crossed legal and ethical lines—FirstEnergy itself admitted to criminal conduct in a 2021 deferred prosecution agreement, paying a $230 million penalty to the U.S. Department of Justice— the dominant framing overlooks a deeper, more systemic context. This context reveals how aggressive federal regulatory pressures during the Obama administration, combined with a push toward renewables and against traditional baseload energy sources such as nuclear power, placed utilities like FirstEnergy in an existential bind. The executives and political figures involved may have made grave errors in response, but those errors were made under duress from policies that targeted their industry, destroyed economic viability, and forced desperate measures to preserve jobs, infrastructure, and Ohio’s reliable power grid.

FirstEnergy’s challenges trace back to the mid-2010s, when market and regulatory forces converged to threaten the viability of its nuclear fleet, particularly the Davis-Besse and Perry plants in northern Ohio. These facilities provided critical baseload power—reliable, carbon-free electricity that renewables like wind and solar could not yet fully replicate due to intermittency. Yet, low natural gas prices from the fracking boom, coupled with federal policies favoring renewables, eroded their competitiveness. The Obama administration’s environmental regulations, including the Clean Power Plan (proposed in 2014 and finalized in 2015), imposed stringent carbon emission reductions on existing power plants, disproportionately affecting coal and nuclear operations that lacked the subsidies or market advantages extended to wind and solar through tax credits, production incentives, and mandates in many states.

The administration’s approach to nuclear was ambivalent at best and hostile in practice. While nuclear was acknowledged as low-carbon, federal support waned: funding for nuclear R&D programs was cut, loan guarantees were limited, and the Yucca Mountain waste repository project was effectively abandoned in 2009-2010, leaving utilities with indefinite on-site storage burdens and added costs. Broader energy policies prioritized renewables, with the Department of Energy and EPA frameworks that accelerated the shift away from traditional sources. In Ohio, this national pressure amplified local market distortions. FirstEnergy announced in 2018 that it would close Davis-Besse (operational since 1978) and Perry (since 1987), along with others in Pennsylvania, citing economic unviability amid PJM Interconnection market rules that failed to compensate nuclear for its reliability and zero-emission attributes.

These closures would have resulted in thousands of job losses, reduced grid reliability (nuclear power accounted for about 23% of FirstEnergy’s power mix at the time), and higher long-term emissions if replaced by natural gas. The plants were not “failing” due to mismanagement alone, but because the playing field was tilted by policy: renewables received federal subsidies (e.g., extensions of the Investment Tax Credit and the Production Tax Credit under Obama-era legislation), while nuclear power faced rising compliance costs without equivalent support. This created what can be described as an “impairment strategy”—a regulatory environment that squeezed traditional energy providers, making them vulnerable to acquisition, restructuring, or collapse, often benefiting private equity or renewable-focused interests.

In response, FirstEnergy sought legislative relief in Ohio. HB6, passed in 2019, provided roughly $150 million annually in subsidies (via ratepayer charges) for the nuclear plants through 2027, while also subsidizing certain coal plants and freezing or rolling back renewable energy and energy efficiency standards. The bill’s proponents framed it as preserving Ohio’s energy infrastructure and jobs; critics saw it as a bailout for uncompetitive assets. Investigations revealed that FirstEnergy funneled approximately $60 million through dark money groups (like Generation Now, tied to Householder) to influence the 2018 elections, help Householder become speaker, secure HB6’s passage, and defeat repeal efforts. Householder was convicted in 2023 of racketeering conspiracy and sentenced to 20 years. Recent trials involve former executives such as Chuck Jones and Michael Dowling, who are accused of related bribery (e.g., $4.3 million paid to former PUCO chair Sam Randazzo in exchange for favorable rulings).

The core issue is proportionality and causation. Were these actions bribery, or a panicked reaction to survival threats? Executives faced temptations arising from access to funds amid the crisis—perhaps justifying personal spending as part of “securing infrastructure”—but that does not excuse crossing the line. The real scandal includes how regulations weaponized by one political regime (progressive energy policies) forced companies into the arms of another (Republican lawmakers) for relief. This is not unique to FirstEnergy; similar dynamics have played out nationwide, where regulatory hammers target disfavored industries, leading to lobbying excesses.

Statistics underscore the impact: Ohio’s nuclear plants employed thousands directly and supported broader economic activity. Their potential closure threatened grid stability in PJM, where nuclear provides essential capacity. Renewables have grown, but without baseload backup, reliability suffers (e.g., wind curtailment). HB6’s nuclear subsidies were repealed in 2021 by HB128 after the scandal erupted, yet the plants continued to operate under new ownership (Energy Harbor, spun off from FirstEnergy), suggesting viability without perpetual bailouts—but only after surviving the regulatory squeeze.

This case highlights broader dangers: when the government uses regulations to steer markets toward ideological goals (e.g., rapid renewable energy dominance), it risks cronyism, corruption, and erosion of property rights. Private companies built infrastructure to serve the public; shifting rules to favor competitors can amount to de facto taking without compensation. The focus on “fraud” and “greed” ignores how progressive policies under Obama created the conditions for desperation. Trump-era rollbacks and pro-energy stances (2017-2021, and post-2024) aimed to counter this, restoring balance.

Executives must handle pressure impeccably—cross every “t” and dot every “i”—but the pressure’s origin matters. When rules are crafted to force bad decisions, accountability should extend to policymakers who engineered the trap. The narrative must include this: FirstEnergy and its allies were not villains scheming in a vacuum but operators defending a vital industry against existential threats from radical energy politics. True justice requires examining the whole chain—from federal overreach to state-level responses—rather than scapegoating those reacting to it.

A robust defense in these cases would foreground this story: the Obama-era push against nuclear and traditional energy as the precipitating force, leading to market distortions that left companies no choice but to seek political aid. Without that context, the public sees only corruption, not the systemic impairment that preceded it.

This is not a case about bribery but rather survival. Private property and free markets suffer when regulations are used as tools for redistribution or ideological control. Ohio’s energy future, and America’s, depends on recognizing this to prevent future scandals born of policy-induced desperation.  And when we talk about this FirstEnergy case, we have to defend it in the manner in which the problem really resides, in the government attempting to seize the means of production as a Marxist takeover of industry and our political system in general.  It is a dire situation that warrants our closest attention.

Don’t Cry for Obama: They opened the door for punishment of their many crimes

Don’t cry for Obama; he put himself in this mess.  And certainly don’t think that Obama is too privileged to do a perp walk in handcuffs in front of the media.  I will never forget it, or forgive it, when they marched Steve Bannon, Trump’s former chief strategist, down a hall in handcuffs and put him in jail for four months, as they did Peter Navarro.  I will never forget the Trump mug shot when they booked him in Fulton County.  And when they did everything they could to destroy him with legal cases meant to kill his entire family, I will never forget what they did to Alex Jones, to Roger Stone, to Rudi Guiliani, Sydney Powell, and General Flynn.  What I watched happen over the last several years was nothing short of a coup against our form of government, and it was a communist revolutionary type like Barack Obama who was dead set to use all the powers of government to destroy our government in just the same way that Che and Fidel Castro did in Cuba.  Or any communist revolution for that matter, around the world, whether it be in China or Russia.  What they tried to do in the United States was every bit as bad, and they went for our jugular.  So now the shoe is on the other foot.  We have extensive evidence of what Obama directly did as president, which only confirms what we already suspected.  The evidence is significantly worse.  They didn’t just talk about destroying the people around Trump; they tried actually to do it, and where they could, they did.  So yes, when people ask me if it’s even possible to prosecute Barack Obama, a former president, it is because Democrats already opened the door to the possibility in the way they handled Trump.  Remember, the goal here is to define who runs our country, and if we let Obama and his gang of thugs loose, we surrender to their domestic terrorism in a way that will encourage others to do so in the future.  So I would argue that we can’t afford to let them get away with it.

After Trump made his feelings very clear about what Tulsi Gabbard had released to the public about what Obama’s role in the Russiagate scandal was, Obama released a statement essentially trying to hide his crime behind the dignity of the Oval Office, just as it was expected that the Deep State would hide his terrorist intentions behind his skin color.  Obama was created to undo the notion of a free country run by free people who picked their elected representatives.  And there are a whole bunch of malicious characters behind Barack Obama who need to be snuffed out and destroyed within American society.  It doesn’t just end with Obama.  But, Obama was caught trying to hold power as he was a sitting president, and he orchestrated a coup against the incoming administration that was every bit as radical as when the Castro brothers overtook Cuban society.  And Comey, Clapper, Clinton, Brennan, and many, many others deep within the CIA and FBI were in on it, and they paid for a doctored-up dossier working with foreign governments to undo a sitting president.  They broke every kind of protocol to destroy the results of a free election.  And all those involved must be punished because they didn’t respect our system the first time.  They laughed at our sense of justice and counted on their ability to hold office and control the legal outcome.  And when they had power, which people took away from them in the 2024 election, they abused their power, making it so that a counteraction is now mandated.  It’s not compassionate to let them go with all we know; it would be foolish.

There was always a notion behind the crimes Obama committed during his presidency that by the time everything caught up to him and his partners, America would be a different country.  In no scenario did they think that a person like Trump would become president, let alone twice.  And there were no calculations that Trump would survive all they threw at him to stop him from running for a second term.  Because they understand this, they know they have been winning elections through election fraud for years, and they are aware of what I have been saying about elections, whether we are talking about 2020, 2024, or any of the upcoming elections, such as 2026 or 2028.  If we keep Democrats from cheating, or make it harder for them, they can’t win elections because they are a dramatic minority, just as in the communist uprisings around the world had been, minorities taking control of majorities through the illusion of force.  And that was tried here in the United States by many members of our intelligence departments, and Obama was put in place to be the inserted wrecking ball, hiding his communist intentions behind his skin color, so that we couldn’t have an opinion on his actions because we had to prove we weren’t a racist country.  Or that we couldn’t prosecute him for what he did during his term, or as a puppeteer during the Biden years, because of some respectability of the office he held as a former president.  Trump was a former president, and they tried to destroy him and all his associates ruthlessly.  So now that the shoe is clearly on the other foot, we must have justice, and that means Obama in handcuffs, a mug shot, and jail time for the gross abuses of government he used to keep his party in power.

Don’t forget, if not for the whole Russiagate issue that Obama started, there would not be a war between Russia and Ukraine right now.  It was because of this deteriorated relationship with Russia that diplomacy crumbled, and a war was started that has killed many millions of people.  The war was always a cover story for the Steele Dossier and the people behind it, who were guilty of committing treason against our country to remove an elected president from office.  Trump isn’t the first time; they did it to Nixon, and they outright killed President Kennedy. Many of us have long suspected that those things happened, but now we have the proof, and we can’t just turn away from it.  We can’t allow a Deep State to think it’s in charge of our government.  And we have to punish their agents as we catch them, and Obama has been caught, without question.  Trump didn’t enter office looking to punish his political rivals.  However, he can’t disregard the crimes committed against him leading up to this point.  He has no obligation to turn away from justice, and that’s what we elected him to do.  People want to run a self-ruled government.  They don’t want a bunch of loser Deep Staters running their country for the benefit of globalism.  We have been too lenient in the past, which has given these people a false sense of security, leading them to believe they could get away with anything.  So yes, we have to send a message.  But don’t fret over the methods.  Obama and many others already went too far with Trump, and now the shoe is on the other foot.  So don’t cry for Obama.  It won’t start color revolutions in the streets to see him arrested and marched down the street in chains.  He did it to himself, and now he and many others must pay for the crimes they committed.  And no amount of fancy talk will help him now.  He’s busted!  And if people take to the streets to protest the arrest of Obama, we will bust them too, arrest by arrest, and if they get violent, with bone-crushing force.

The Firing Squad is the Only Suitable Punishment: Crimes Obama and his intelligence administration committed that were treasonous and knowing seditition

So now is the time we have all been dreading, which has been building for a long time.  We can’t just let Obama, a former president, live and let live.  We have to arrest him, and prosecute him for treason, and execute him by firing squad in a public square—at a minimum.  And we have to come to a reckoning with all the devices in our minds that have told us such an idea is radical and even primal.  And that we are a more sophisticated society, we should never think of doing such a thing, especially to a person of color.  But Obama was always a terrorist; never forget that he was put into place in politics in the living room of Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn at the University of Chicago, the former members of the domestic terrorist group The Weather Underground.  And that the Obama birth certificate was never resolved, they never did produce one that showed that he was born in Hawaii.  What they did produce after a lot of pressure, which President Trump was one of the advocates, was a digital document that had layers of information embedded in the birth certificate that Sheriff Arpaio of Arizona uncovered as a fraud.  There was no ability in 1961 to digitally layer a PDF file of any kind, so a level of corruption and manipulation from a Deep State that wanted domestic terrorist organizations like the Weather Underground to show themselves in ways we had never thought possible, was well at hand.  Then there are the claims that Obama made as an international student when he attended Columbia University, so you can’t be both—a citizen born in Honolulu on August 4, 1961, and an international student from Jakarta, Indonesia.  Regardless of who he was or what he is, Obama attended school from the ages of 6 to 10 in Jakarta, Indonesia, which is a highly unusual way for an American president to have been educated. 

There shouldn’t be any conspiracies about Obama’s origins, which have not been cleared up to this day.  And the problem with that is the charges that were dropped against Bill Ayers, as well as the continued denials that Ayers and Obama knew each other, which never sat well with people, leaving many to believe that Obama couldn’t be trusted on anything.  He was a creation of the Deep State to do the business of them in running American politics.  And he was imposed on America because of the color of his skin to turn the United States into Cuba, essentially.  And once he was put in power, he never wanted to go away, leading to the monstrosity of intelligence manipulation that went on with the Russian Dossier to destroy President Trump, once free people elected him to undo the mess that Obama had put us all in.  And now we know through Tulsi Gabbard that there was never an ability by the Russians to tamper with the American election the way that Comey, Clapper, Brennan and many others tried to advance and what emerges is a very sinister plot to rule over Americans from a Deep State perspective ran by intelligence agencies, and not a representative republic who maintains their government through elections.  The elections have been rigged for a long time, and during all this Obama activity, and the cover-up of how he emerged into politics, we have learned the actual depth of the monstrosity.  Obama and his administration, running all these intel agencies at the FBI, CIA, Homeland Security, all of them, were willing to commit treason against America to maintain a Deep State control over what was supposed to be free people in charge of their government.  The actions of Obama and others intended to suppress that assumption at every opportunity.

Let’s never forget how they funneled the Steele Dossier into America through John McCain after the senator had dispatched his associate, David Kramer, to London to meet with Steele and bring a copy back to America to give to James Comey on December 9th, 2016, after Trump had just been elected.  All parties knew at the time that the whole thing had been fabricated, and their purpose was to undermine the kind of government the country’s people had just elected.  And they were using John McCain as a Never Trumper to build bipartisan support in the Republican Party toward a coup against the new President.  This is the same level of intelligence manipulation that assassinated President Kennedy and drove Nixon out of office.  They were intent on demonstrating their authority at every opportunity.  And they were ruthless.  Never forget what they did to General Flynn, Peter Navarro, Steve Bannon, Roger Stone, and many others.  Especially President Trump and his entire family.  Remember the perp walk of Steve Bannon in handcuffs as he showed defiance against the January 6th committee that failed to recognize his rights as a member of the former Trump White House.  Then add to all that the very little that we know about the people who did try to assassinate Trump literally, especially the questionable circumstances leading up to the shooting in Butler, Pennsylvania.  It all started in a lot of ways from Obama himself not wanting to leave office, or recognize that people were so angry at the socialist direction he had turned our country to, that he openly used the powers of government to hold power and drive away the people’s pick for president. 

Never forget that the Ukraine war was started as a cover story for this Russian complicity that the Obama administration entirely made up.  Once they had made a bad guy out of Russia, they had to destroy Putin so this story would never get out, so they drew him into a conflict with Ukraine, knowing that NATO was the hot button that would do it.  And that hasn’t worked out as planned either.  But think of the number of people who died in the process.  And then there is Dr. Fauci and what his relationship was to the DOD weapon created in Wuhan, China, to infect America so that they could rig an election in 2020 with emergency rules that would allow them to get rid of Trump finally.  Millions of people have died because of Obama and a Deep State that put him in power, and wanted to keep him in power, for their own interests.  And it has been a not-so-silent war that has gone on for six to seven decades.  And now that we know, we have not just to punish these people.  We have to make an example of them.  They cannot be allowed to exist after committing these grave crimes against our nation, a set of ideas rooted in the cause of justice for all, and the rules to build a civilized society.  So when we say that Obama and members of his intelligence community administration need to be prosecuted and executed for treason and sedition at the highest level, and with the most deadly intent, we aren’t kidding.  It’s not a political statement of anger, but a country’s position on the foundations of law and order.  We cannot allow this mess to continue, and it has to be punished with death.  And not just some lethal injection that painlessly puts the executed to sleep.  No, it needs to be a violent public execution, similar to what the Italians did to Mussolini.  People need to express themselves correctly, and from as bad as things are with this case, death by firing squad only begins to get us there.  These are some of the worst and most violent criminals in the history of the world.  And we need to treat them that way.

I Tried to Tell Everyone: The Democrats are destroyed, and they are never coming back

So how did we get here, with Trump in the White House, to answer the question that Democrats have been asking of themselves lately?  Some are just going crazy because they don’t understand what happened.  But I warned everyone back in the 90s that if they went down this path with leadership, then they would choke on it.  Bill Clinton got caught up in all kinds of things, and this is after we had 8 years of Ronald Reagan, so people had pretty high expectations of what a president should be.  Bill Clinton was a disaster.  His womanizing and references to drugs were embarrassing, and when we showed outrage about the behavior, people like James Carville would come out and say, “It’s the economy stupid,” meaning things were working under Clinton, so don’t worry about the other stuff.  Saul Alinsky purposefully exploited this good nature with Republicans openly in his book Rules for Radicals, where they do something wrong and then blame the people they are working against for actually doing it.  And they got away with it perpetually because Republicans were too friendly to call them out on what they were doing wrong, giving them unearned merit in political existence.  Obama was even worse; once the “Democrats” realized what they could get away with, they overloaded the insults on Republicans and their expectations of morality in political leaders with defacing results, with Obama rumors of being gay, doing drugs, and not being even born in the United States, with him being given unwarranted respect just because of his skin color, with his communist background with a wide range of father figures who were troubled people.   He launched his political career in the living room of Bill Ayers, the convicted domestic terrorist from the Weather Underground.  They insulted us with open support for the Castro communists just off the coast of Cuba, and whenever we pointed things out, we were told to sit down, shut up, and be happy with the job they were doing.  Don’t judge.  (We need to turn Cuba into another American state)

Well, people steamed on this kind of thing for several decades, and I have been waiting for Republicans to crack the code and figure out the game.  Cracking that morality code is why I write these articles every day: to help people, conservatives or people thinking about becoming conservatives, with the confidence they need to fight true evil, and these people are exactly that.  They took over our public offices and desecrated them, then told us not to have an opinion about it.  So, I have been hoping for someone like Trump to come along for a long time.  As a reminder, four years after Reagan, I campaigned hard for Ross Perot.  I told the story this past week of when Perot’s daughters gave me a very nice tie from that campaign in Dallas, Texas, the night before the election in 1992.  I liked Perot over Bush because he knew how to defend America with warranted merit, whereas Bush did not.  And Clinton was just a sleazy con artist.  Many people blamed me for Ross Perot pulling votes away from Bush over the years in political circles.  But Bush was only accelerating the problem of the kind of evil coming out of the Democrat Party, and we were going to go down the tube one way or another.  I wasn’t about to put my name next to failure to keep a party together, hoping that Bush would give us a few pieces of lent from Reagan and that we should be happy about it.  I have been on a moral crusade in politics since then.  Naturally, I was among the first to sign up when the Tea Party movement came around. 

I was doing work in Hollywood when Barack Obama came along after 8 years of whitewashing George Bush’s very unsatisfying behavior.  I hated Obama tremendously, and I saw the way he was seducing all the Hollywood types out in California in 2008.  I could have kept quiet and made a lot of money, like everyone else.  But I stepped away to contribute myself to the rebellion against the demons of the world, and I’m glad I did.  And a few years into that movement, we started taking out all the RINOs in politics who had been helping this vile evil along.  And when Trump began to get serious about running for president, which I knew about because of the Ross Perot Reform Party that formed in the wake of his efforts, Trump was getting serious at the end of the 1990s.  I saw him at a few events and thought he would be great.  The only drawback, I thought, was his womanizing.  He had been married too much and was associated with gambling casinos.  But after a few years of Obama, I started to think that Trump would be the perfect undoing of the massive destruction that the Democrats had done to the world.  By the time 2015 came around, I had been supportive of Trump before he went down the escalator.  I was a fan of the Bill O’Reilly interview where he proposed a “why not” scenario for Trump.  And the rest has been history.  Trump has been for Republicans the exorcism against demons that has been desperately needed for several decades now. 

The Democrat game of “ignoring what we do, but we’ll use everything against you” method, which was exposed fully during that first Trump term, and people could see just how bad everything was, was falling apart.  Then the way that Bret Kavanaugh was put through the wringer and, most recently, Pete Hegseth over silly things like drinking or womanizing, after what the Democrats had given us—homosexuals having sodomized sex in our government buildings on camera for all to see, then being told not to judge, was too much for people to endure anymore.  Trump had morality problems, but after what we had become used to, people were willing to overlook those things and vote for someone who could do the job.  People no longer wanted a moral leader from an elected representative.  They gave up on that a long time ago, thanks to Democrat behavior.  So they moved toward merit; they just wanted someone who could do the job they needed best.   And in that world, Democrats aren’t very good at anything but complaining, so they can’t compete.  And Trump is running them all down, and people are happy about it.  But how did it happen?  Well, Democrats lowered the bar so much that they never seemed to consider that it would lower for Republicans, too.  I don’t think Trump is a low bar by any measure.  It allowed excellence as an executive to move into public office even if it took three marriages and kids by all different women to be overcome so he would get a chance among voters.  People thought, “Why not? After all, the Democrats gave us.”  And now they can’t compete with Trump.  They destroyed themselves with this Saul Alinsky game.  They put themselves out of business, and given that little history I presented, they will never return.  They will never gain any political footing ever again.  And while they were looking around, trying to figure out what happened, I tried to tell everyone, especially them.  But they didn’t listen, and here they are.

Trouble With Reservations: How the Biden administration created a national labor crises

This was a hectic Holiday season for me, with many more social engagements than usual.  It’s usually pretty busy, but something happened this year that I have never seen before, and that is I had much trouble booking reservations for dinner engagements, which was very strange.   Because I am usually busy with this kind of thing during November and December, I have a base to say that this year differs from other years.  And that the occurrences were higher than usual indicates that statistically, we’re not dealing with an accident here, but statistical certainty.  But out of the 20 dinners I was involved in over the Holiday season, I had trouble with reservations on 18 of them.  This means that, on the first attempt, the restaurant I was trying to book for a holiday party for social engagements would not accept the reservation due to competing holiday celebrations.  I would have to make a few calls, and in all the cases, I could get a hold of somebody to overcome the apprehension.  But with that process, I also received an explanation that ticked me off.  It’s a trend toward the negative that I have been pointing out to everyone over these last few years, coming out of all the dumb COVID protocols.  That globalist poison attacked our American workforce, and now, under four years of Joe Biden, the impact on the average American worker has destroyed them to such a degree that it was showing up in restaurants and how they staff and handle their employees regarding pressure.  In all 18 cases I mentioned, the general managers explained that they were having difficulty staffing their businesses, especially their kitchens, and were very concerned about overloading them because they were afraid they might quit. 

My idea of a great restaurant is Gordan Ramsey’s signature restaurant in Chelsea, England, just to the south of London along the river.  There are a few great places in the world that I also think about regarding top-tier food.  A steakhouse in Kobe, Japan that specializes in Kobe steak, which is fantastic on every bar you measure.  But that 3 Michelin Star Chef Ramsey place in London is, I think, about as good as it gets.  They know how to prepare food and treat a customer.  And it is hard to make a reservation there.  They purposely have a tiny dining room because they are concerned about the high food quality.  It is an excellent experience if you ever get a chance to go, and it’s costly but well worth the money.  When I was there, they toured me through the kitchen, and I could see how things work behind the scenes, and it was all top-notch.  The workforce was clean, engaged, organized, and efficient.  I can say that I’ve seen the best in the world and understand what it takes to be that way.  That was why I could call shenanigans to many of these local managers in the Cincinnati area when they tried to tell me that they were hesitant to book reservations for fear that their staff might be overworked and start delivering poor food quality.  That was the case in one particularly dumb explanation: a very nice restaurant on the Ohio River overlooking downtown Cincinnati was almost empty on the night that I wanted to entertain guests, yet they were concerned about booking my reservation for more than 20 because they had during that same hour a party of 15 and a party of 10.   

After further probing, I got to the heart of the matter: many people who work in restaurant kitchens doing fine food have become very sensitive to pressure under the Biden administration and the COVID protocols that never disappeared.  While high-quality restaurants were able to hire those kinds of people, their ability to handle stress is much lower than they were just a few years ago, and if pressured in an environment where the demands were intense, these employees were prone to walk off the job rather than fight through the pressure.  So managers of nice restaurants were doing their best to keep that pressure off their kitchens in a rock, paper, scissors game of at least keeping the food quality high, even if it meant a loss of sales at the door.  Cincinnati and areas around the city, especially up in West Chester and Liberty Township, have restaurants that are as good as anywhere in the world, so I understand wanting to keep those high food quality standards by taking the pressure off the kitchen staff.  But the kitchen staff shouldn’t be such crybabies, either.  This was a big problem in my eyes because it’s not just restaurants; this is a major domestic service problem that is the direct result of bad government management by introducing minimum wage increases that were not market-driven and creating workforce shortages with government talk of universal wages and work from home policies of virus management introduced by socialist health departments.  It had taken a few years to get there, but the Biden administration policies had shown up in the reservation systems of high-quality restaurants. The artificial constraint of employees had impacted their businesses to the point where they couldn’t plan to maximize their dining room seating to maximum effect because their staff had become soft and unable to manage high amounts of stress. 

Knowing all this and keeping the managers happy with their dilemma, my approach was to let everyone take two or three hours for dinner so that the kitchens didn’t get stressed out too much and to allow the food quality to be reduced.  My logic to the managers is that they’ll make more money letting their guests wait for the food and buying appetizers and drinks than in trying to pace everything to the artificial constraint of the kitchen staff that was trying to figure out if they’d work that night or call off to play Call of Duty.  If employees are getting paid anyway, why would they work harder?  That is what happens when you take away incentives from the American worker to do more and to do it faster.  Most of these restaurants in Cincinnati are built for speed and large crowds.  This is not like Chef Ramsey’s restaurant in England, which had a purposely small dining room.  The places I was going to were meant to fill every seat, and if they could fit in a reservation, they could book it and keep their dining rooms full.  They needed to push their kitchens to perform.  However, “push” became a bad name under the Biden administration.  Employees have become radicalized and are “pushing back” by saying that they need an emotional safety animal to manage stress so they don’t cry when the pressure becomes too great for them.  The way I think, this is a national security issue.  You don’t see this from workforces when I travel around Asia.  They work hard. In the West, workers don’t work hard anymore, a change from just a few years ago.  Like I said, I do this kind of thing every year.  This year was the first time that I had reservations turned down on nights when the dining rooms were mostly empty, but the managers were purposefully trying to keep the pressure off their kitchens because their employees had become emotionally soft after four years of the Biden administration, and globalism employment practices in general.  And it’s certainly something we need to address as a nation.

Democrats Do Not Respect Civilian Oversight: The disaster of Kamala Harris skipping the Al Smith Dinner

As we get down the stretch of the 2024 election, the big takeaway and primary reason that many Democrats have peeled away from the party only to join Republicans is that a ruse has been exposed that was long concealed.  Democrats with a foundation of Marxism never respected voters’ opinions.  They ultimately adopted the globalist policy of rigged elections to gain and hold power.  They never intended to win people over with a compelling argument about their political platform.  Their entire political strategy has been essentially high school politics; you were either a cool kid or weren’t.  And if that were the case, then you would be cast from society, a society they controlled.  No, what they lost most over the last four years has been their brand.  Nobody wants to be one of the cool kids if what you get is a Democrat.  That was particularly revealing when Tulsi Gabbard announced at a recent Trump rally that she was joining the Republican Party.  Trump has been fantastic at opening up the big tent of the Republican Party in ways that no other Republican in history could have, leaving it indeed a party of the Americans.  When you consider that Robert F. Kennedy joined Trump’s campaign with the intention of a critical position in the White House and Elon Musk suddenly became a Tea Party kind of Republican, the Trump campaign has just been fantastic down the stretch.  Trump has done everything that could be done to bring people into support of him, especially with people of color and among the immigrant population.  There have been a lot of great moments, but I think one of the best will be remembered by the Al Smith Dinner of 2024, where Trump was brilliantly funny.  Most of all, he showed up, but Kamala Harris didn’t. 

Democrats are playing a game they thought would work, and it is consistent with their actions over the past three or four decades.  But Trump exposed it with all his persuasive live performances, especially at the Al Smith Dinner.  When Trump went to the one in 2016, Hillary Clinton was there, and she went and spoke.  She didn’t do very well, but she figured it didn’t matter at that time.  The machine would win for her, so she showed up and did her part.  Trump was great that year, too, but this time, he was outstanding.  But Kamala Harris didn’t show up, and instead sent in a video with a kind of Saturday Night Live skit to help carry Kamala over the top.  Democrats are like that kid who didn’t study for the big test and showed up expecting to cheat on someone’s paper.  Democrats weren’t prepared to run a real campaign for power in America.  They counted exclusively on election theft to win, like all the other Marxist countries in the world presently do, and they were so disrespectful about it that they picked a candidate in Kamala Harris who would do whatever they told her to and run her campaign from concealment the entire time.  Because they have such little respect for the democratic process and the self-government concept of Americans in general, they were not able to compete when Trump made the campaign truly about competency and representation.  The strategies of personal destruction suddenly didn’t work at all with Trump because he didn’t need the Democrats to crown him one of the “cool kids.”  He already was one.  Trump has changed the definition of a cool kid over the last eight years.

The Al Smith Dinner was embarrassing for Kamala Harris because it was so out of step with the nature of the 2024 campaign.  There was no compelling argument to make on behalf of Democrats, causing them to leave the party, such as what Tulsi Gabbard and many others have done.  Just think about how many people have done the same thing all across the country, and they know what will happen in this election.  Now that the close of the election is near, even the big media outlets understand what will happen.  They tried to run the same closet campaign for Kamala that they did for Biden the first time, but people aren’t buying into it.  There is no COVID to cover for their massive attempts at election fraud, and most anybody who isn’t a crazy lunatic of anti-American sentiment is voting for Trump.  And as I have said all along, it will all come down to engagement.  Trump has engaged voters who are excited to vote for him.  Kamala Harris has a few fringed cat ladies and a hamster.  But nobody else.  Trump will break into the seventy millions.  Kamala will be lucky to get out of the sixties.  Trump will win the popular vote because there won’t be the same opportunities to cheat that were so common in 2020.  And the Democrats are panicking over it.  Even CNN has figured out that they will have egg on their face if they support Kamala, who had a particularly disastrous performance there, too, with Anderson Cooper.  When the smoke clears from this one, people will wonder how so many people got it all wrong, and they’ll point to that disastrous Al Smith Dinner with the video contribution by a weird Saturday Night Live skit as the root cause. 

I know quite a few Secret Service Agents, and they report that they can’t see the forest for the trees.  Even with all that I have said, they fear that Kamala Harris will win anyway because they genuinely think the “machine” of politics is truly in charge.  And I tell them they are too close to the situation to be objective.  But plenty of people want to argue with me and believe that Kamala Harris will win as a propped-up asset of the machine, and she thinks so, too.  That is until she was heckled at a recent rally where people broke out into a Trump chant, and she became furious about it.  I hear what everyone says about the machine being in charge.  But in America, that is not acceptable, and Trump has done everything that can be done to unite the country behind the Republican Party, which will have a significant impact up and down the ticket in general for all races.  I see significant losses for Democrats that will wipe them out generationally and even perhaps as a viable political party.  After all this, they may join the Whigs in history as they don’t represent the American people but a globalist ideology that most people find repulsive once they find out what it is.  And the Democrats were exposed through competition for really the first time.  Voters have been looking for someone like Trump to expose this shell game for a long time, and essentially, this is the first time that the stress fractures exposed Democrats for what they have always been hiding.  And it was never more evident than when Kamala Harris skipped the Al Smith Dinner in 2024, even with Chuck Schumer sitting right next to the podium where the speeches were given.  In a friendly venue, she couldn’t even perform there.  But Trump did, and did it very well, leaving no doubt who the winner of the presidency would be.  And history will never forget it.

If You Like Your Money, You Better Vote For Trump: Trump Cash vs. Kamala Crash

The communist left in the world still thinks this way. And their economies are based on the same dumb ideas

Yeah, here’s the deal: If you like your money, your 401K investments, your real estate, your job, or anything connected to money, you better vote for Trump. It’s not a political thing; it’s a policy thing, which is what I have been telling everyone who has been asking leading up to the terrible jobs report in August, ahead of the global sell-off on Monday, 8.5.24.  There were a lot of reasons that the Asian markets opened poorly that morning, which started a chain reaction around the world.  Some of them are very sinister.  Some of them are just bombastically panic-driven and innocent.  There will always be a crash when free people have been manipulated the way that centralized banking has done to the public over the last century.  I mean, these are the same kind of losers who invented public education and can’t keep public toilets clean.  At least in the day of Morgan, Rockefeller, and the Rothschilds manipulating global currency, they were pretty good at it and driven not to fail by a sense of self-preservation that we all benefited from.  If the money supply were destroyed, they would lose all their money, and so would we.  So we were tied together in unhealthy ways, at least ways that gave us something to work with.  But here’s the problem: those who had the most money and wanted to hedge their risk invented this relationship with governments to insulate them from catastrophic failure, and the results have not been good.  This led to what I have been saying for several decades now: a financial climate in 2024 where the wheels are poised to come off in ominous ways.  Democrats are fully aware of this impending catastrophe because they have been hiding the terrible economic numbers every week of the Biden presidency, which were stolen in 2020 to preserve these global powers and prevent populist reforms.  And the writing was on the wall from 2016 to 2020 with Trump.  He showed just how phony the whole machine was during his term and currently is the only one with a plan to preserve the American dollar.  The global markets will still collapse, as we saw in Japan, just a hint of on Monday.  But America could preserve itself with a divorce from global markets, as much as is possible these days.  And to protect the American dollar from complete collapse, which is a planned exercise, especially if global communists can manage to slide Kamala Harris under the door.

Trump has a plan, and yes, the house of cards that global communism has built for the purposeful collapse of the American dollar can be averted by electing Trump.  But in so doing, a scab will be ripped off a wound that has been there for ages.  It’s a house of wet cards built in an earthquake zone that we are talking about, and also, as I have been saying, we are well into depression territory with the actual economic numbers under Biden.  It’s not much better worldwide, but this is part of a global strategy to push everyone into a digital currency that the central banks control.  It’s just as sinister as any military campaign that history has observed, for exactly all the same reasons.  And we are all attached to it through money management.  And if you have any hope of preserving your way of life, the investments you have built on all this phony pile of made-up cash, then you better vote for Trump.  Forget the ideological differences.  Forget about any other consideration.  To prevent a complete economic collapse, you had better vote for Trump.

The hints for this problem go back to the 2000s when the real estate crash in 2008 happened, after years of stagnant economic growth inspired by the terrorism of 9/11.  In reaction to that financial crisis, the American Fed printed up a bunch of fake money through quantitative easing and put in place a Modern Monetary Theory that they have been floating through big Wall Street firms like BlackRock, who have been buying up boards of most major companies with all that fake money, and turning them to communist woke practices.  Most Americans were too trusting to question this activity and didn’t care much as long as they had a car to drive to pick up their kids from soccer practice and grab a pizza on the way home to eat in their nicely air-conditioned homes.  If you get the chance to travel around the world, you will quickly find that most people don’t live like this and struggle mightily due to the mistakes their governments make with monetary policy.  What is truly terrible is that all these global markets are now attached through cooperative governments bound together through centralized banking with a communist view of the world as its primary outlook.  They have been making a lot of mistakes for many years. They have propped up with phony money organizations like the American Fed, printing money as they needed it and using it to buy fake value for an essentially phony economy.  And they were hiding it through their massive control of most media outlets.  And that House of Cards was poised to fail during the entire Biden presidency, which is why they put him in place through election fraud in the first place.

The hint of all this hitting the fan triggered the global sell-offs on Monday, early August 2024.  Some will say it’s fear of Kamala Harris winning the White House and prominent investors taking their money from the market before everyone else figures out how wrong everything has been and joins them with massive sell-offs.  I would propose that all this devious financial information is catching up to Democrats, and they can’t hide it from the public anymore.  The Fed has screwed up in its relationship with political activists like BlackRock and other Wall Street sharks looking to profit at the expense of the government providing the shield.  And when they get into trouble, they print more money and can do so as long as America controls the dollar.  But that control is now threatened, revealing horrendous economic mismanagement that goes back decades and is finally coming due.  Yeah, Trump is the only pick to stop what is planned to happen: the complete financial failure of the United States, which is currently over 35 trillion in debt and rising by 1 trillion dollars every 100 days.   This is a planned military attack by globalism against the sovereignty of the United States.  And literally, the only way out of it is Trump, which money-making policies could put America back into control of global markets, which is the only answer available here.  That’s also why they want to kill him, as we have witnessed recently, or put him in jail and destroy him in any way possible.  Globalists attached to central banking must control the American White House for their objectives.  Only now do people have a hint as to what they’ve been up to, which is revealed in the collapse of all financial involvement.  The cracks are now seen in some of these market crashes that are showing themselves presently.  However, much more is to come, and Trump is the only way out.  So if you like your life, even a little bit, and want to protect it from very hostile globalist forces, you better vote for Trump in the November election.  This week, we have seen the tip of a massive iceberg that is just out of sight but vast, deep, and very ominous.  More so than you can possibly imagine.

They Tried to Kill Trump: Wearing the Armor of God for the fight of our times

I was watching the assassination attempt of President Trump live, and when I saw him go down to the floor as the Secret Service piled around him after he grabbed the side of his head, I thought that was it.  I admired Trump a lot as he got to his feet with bodies and hands trying to cover him from more gunfire that was coming from a nearby roof, where a young kid let off eight rounds toward Trump and the crowd at a Pennsylvania rally, killing innocent people while also striking Trump.  When Trump stood up with blood running down the side of his head and pumped his fist to the crowd, yelling, “Fight,” I thought he had about 15 seconds to live.  Because a bullet had hit him, and it wouldn’t take but a few seconds for him to bleed out.  At that moment, he knew he had been shot, and if it was the last thing on earth that he could do, he was telling the crowd to “Fight.”  I was very proud of Trump.  He didn’t have to be doing any of this.  He didn’t need all this trouble.  He’s one of the wealthiest people in the world; he didn’t need to be at that rally on a nice July day running for President.  But there he was, shot by some kid named Thomas Matthew Crooks just moments away from possibly his lights going out forever, and he was back on his feet telling the crowd to fight.  And my first thought was, “That is a man.  That’s what presidents should all look like.  And he has been great for America.”  As sad as that event was, because there were real casualties from the gunfire that hit innocent people behind Trump, I was thrilled to see that the bullet had just grazed Trump in the ear, about as close as possible without being lethal, and that Trump was going to live to fight another day. 

When she heard the news live, my wife was out getting gas and snacks at Kroger with my grandchildren.  The cashier and a customer discussed it as she stepped up to pay.  My wife lost it when she heard that Trump had been shot, and she essentially went into a conscious coma.  Crying because she had met Trump and dearly loves Trump, she came home to see if I knew what was happening and wanted me to do something about it.  Then my wife realized that she paid for the gas but never got it; she left again to go and get it, as she was still upset and staggering, looking for answers.  By the time she went back to get the gas, we knew then that the bullet didn’t kill Trump and that he was just grazed.  And he would live to fight on.  But it certainly provided context to the world we are living in, which is at war.  I’m honestly surprised that there haven’t been more assassination attempts against Trump, but this was a desperate attempt by a failing left political party.  The big question was how alone this kid was, and how much did a more significant plot play in the background to provoke such a person into action to go to that rally with an AR-15, climb onto the roof of a building outside the security parameter, and shoot at people knowing the ramifications for doing so would end his life, one way or the other.  The next thought I had was that the CIA was involved as tools of the deep state, just as they did with JFK, and that they had found a way to push this kid through psychological manipulation into taking a step they desired but couldn’t afford to do themselves.  The kid was killed, so we likely will never know, and there are a lot of creepy circumstances pointing to that thought process in the aftermath.  But for the moment, all that mattered was learning that Trump would live and be fine. 

After all they have thrown at Trump, and even the other day Biden made references to targeting Trump further as the election drew nearer, the ominous reality of just how bad things are came into sharp focus for many people.  As the events unfolded, Steve Bannon emailed from jail, where he and Peter Navarro were serving time by the crooked January 6th Commission who did not honor their Executive Immunity as White House staff.  Steve Bannon, before he had to report to jail on July 1st, predicted there would be assassination attempts against Trump, and he was right.  It’s been a while since people have seen one, but just remember it was recently that the Prime Minister of Japan was shot to death in a very similar way.  And Bolsonaro in Brazil was stabbed in public, obviously intending to kill him with assassination.  Around the world, where the communist infusion of global politics has gone hard at work to develop radical young kids like this Trump shooter to do their dirty work, this is a widespread problem.  It is much more common than people have been willing to admit to.  And now a purposeful attempt against Trump’s life had been discharged, and it terrified people to just how bad the situation is and has been.  They, being the organization of the Administrative State, have literally thrown everything they have at Trump and his immediate supporters like Bannon, jailing them, bankrupting them, prosecuting them in every way possible, and, of course, literally trying to kill them.  That kid in Pennsylvania killed people, and when he pulled the trigger to that rifle while lying on the roof, he meant to kill the President.  Why would a 20-year-old kid ever want to do such a thing? 

There is a lot to learn from all this, but the main thing is to admire Trump for the courage he showed while under fire.  And for the cool state of mind, he maintained while literal death was at his doorstep.  I am very proud that Trump is running for president.  That is the kind of attitude I expect from people in general, but especially from someone who wants to lead America.  As reports came from Trump himself on Truth Social minutes after this assassination attempt that he was going to be okay, and he acknowledged the members of the family of the Trump supporter who had been killed, I thought of the assassination of President Lincoln.  It’s always Democrats who are trying to kill Republicans.  When Democrats don’t get their way, they always seem to turn to violence.  And that was the case with this Trump assassination attempt, the ultimate form of election fraud.  The hate is very real, and our public schools breed this mentality of hate into our youth. we saw an example of their activity in the deadliest way that it can be presented.  And it showed in the aftermath an absolute evil working in the background.  I found it ironic that people quickly were turning to the Bible to explain what they were feeling, and they saw as a point of comfort the Ephesians quote from chapter 6 that I like so much on the Armour of God.  Yes, what happened to Trump is consistent with that Bible verse.  God does tend to protect those who are doing his work.   And Trump is, and he does enjoy a level of protection, and the hand of God was evident on this otherwise horrendous day, protected.  God saved Trump, and Trump dared to continue to fight for what was right with that armor of God.  And people had a wake-up call that was probably necessary, and very much needed.  God does work in mysterious ways to our eyes.  But on the big picture, everything is moving along as required.  And fighting for that future is very much our present concern regardless of the risks or consequences.

This is the 2024 election in a photo! What a cool dude!

Joe Biden is the Democrat Fall Guy to Hide Massive Election Fraud: Sure, Obama wants to protect his terrorist legacy, but he’s not in charge

We have to talk about it because he keeps doing it to himself.  But after yet another Biden mess of a press conference that was spectacularly terrible, we have to discuss the truth behind the actions.  And as I said, Biden won’t and can’t go anywhere, he’s the best that Democrats have to offer which says a lot.  And in a lot of ways, the Democrats who were involved in election fraud during 2020 see this as an excellent opportunity to cover their crime by blaming Biden’s loss on being too old to run.  When they have to explain on the day after the election that Biden didn’t come close to the 81 million votes he was said to have had in 2020, there will be a lot of scratching of heads.  That’s because Democrats and their globalist conspirators made up over 20 million illegal votes; between illegal immigration votes, poorly managed voter rolls, digital voting machine manipulations, and, of course, the Zuckerbucks drop boxes, the cheating that put Biden in office was massive.  And it will be remembered forever as a stolen election.  Remember, the thin margin of victory for Kennedy against Nixon was pushed over the top by the Chicago mobs, and nobody ever forgot it. In that case, this  Biden conspiracy against Trump will go down in history as the time the public lost complete trust in the government due to their own incompetence.  Yes, Democrats have made their livings cheating in elections for years.  But this Biden thing was way over the top, involved many thousands of people, and the crimes were truly destructive and ostentatious.   And this old man Biden thing is a perfect cover story to show the world that it was because of his age and poor debate performance that voter engagement wasn’t higher this time around.  Without Covid as a cover for millions of illegal votes, Democrats have a big problem now that they have to do the unthinkable, and that compete directly in the election with Trump, who will get at least 75 million votes—probably more. 

Of course, Obama and his celebrity friends of Hollywood Marxists and global socialists and communists are trying to protect the radical gains they have made for decades, really starting when Bill Clinton was president.  But Obama did the terrorist damage of bringing socialism to America through the doors of the Executive Branch, and people have been waking up to it now for a while.  I would argue that was why we had a Trump in 2016: because people were sick and tired of Obama’s socialism, and they responded by voting for someone like Trump.  But that was way back in a different time at this point.  These days, more people than ever are aware of how bad their government has been for them, and they want significant changes and are more willing than ever to vote for a person like Trump to give them a better country.  They are unhappy with the managed decline, and Obama knows what’s at stake.  Biden gave a continuation of the Obama presidency.  Biden was too old, stupid, and compromised to change anything.  Obama’s people took care of the White House.  All Biden had to do was play his weekend at Bernie’s role, and Democrats were generally happy.  But they know Biden isn’t going to win against Trump, after that debate performance and direct competition will require Biden to talk this time, as opposed to campaigning in his basement under Covid lockdown rules, like there was in 2020.  Democrats just weren’t prepared for Trump not to be in jail; that was their campaign strategy, to jail all their competition and run unopposed.  They had nothing else to run on, and now they are being exposed because Trump isn’t in jail, he didn’t go bankrupt, and now Republicans are mad and rallying behind Trump in ways nobody ever thought was possible.  Except, I said so long ago.  Why don’t people listen?

Obama is turning against Joe along with Nancy and the gang because it’s their desperation shot from mid-court, hoping that Kamala Harris can swing some voters with the First Woman President storyline, or even the First Woman Black President.  They foolishly think we are living in that kind of world.  They are tone-deaf to the EV car mandates, the war against fossil fuels, the inflation, the embarrassment in foreign policy, and the cost of bread and milk.  Those are the things people care about, not breaking some glass ceiling with the first woman president.  But Obama, desperate to protect all his years of terrorism against the American way of life, has no other option.  If it’s Joe, Democrats are going to lose.  So maybe someone else might do better, so they are trying to peer pressure Joe off the ticket for the greater good of the party.  And that’s what we see unfolding with a disunity that Democrats aren’t used to dealing with.  They used to laugh at Republicans and their Tea Party faction.  Now they have their own civil war within their party ranks, and Republicans have pulled it together, heading into a united convention.  It’s probably the best one that Republicans have had in decades.  Trump has done what a good executive does; he creates a vision and brings people together to achieve a cause.  And Democrats are hanging on to the gains of the past acquired through fraud and crime.  It’s not exactly stable ground to live on.  During low tide, they built their castle of power out of sand on a beach.  And now that tide is coming in to wash them all away.

But don’t get caught up in the drama and all the dirty tricks.  The Democrats don’t have a game plan; they are, as a party, trying to cover up the sins of the past by putting Biden on the chopping block and letting him take the fall for everything.  And they are doing it to hide the crime of election fraud from 2020 since they have failed to take complete power and use the courts to suppress investigations.  Now that Trump is going to be in the White House again, they won’t have any other way to explain the turnout discrepancy but to blame it on Joe’s age and hope that will end the investigations into the matter.  It is indeed too late to put another name on the ticket until after their convention because Biden can’t release his delegates until he’s the nominee, and he can’t be the nominee until the convention, and they are the ones who set their convention date, so close to the election.  So that’s a big problem for them, and the best thing for them to do is to let Biden make a fool of himself and deflect future investigations away from the massive election fraud they have been guilty of grabbing power with.  The check is due, and now people have to pay, and they plan to leave it all on the table for Pops to take care of, as he has been doing for 50 years of government work, mainly in the Senate.  Biden is their fall guy; they want it the way it is, even if Obama and his friends want to protect their legacy of destruction from the massive changes that Trump is being elected to make.  Because we never wanted to change our country fundamentally.  We want to be Great Again.  Better than ever before, and Trump is just the guy to set the table for many years of greatness that is to come.

The Real Big Lie: Under the pressure of competition, Joe Biden is falling apart

Goodness gracious, karma can be Hell, and they deserve plenty of it.  But at Biden’s press conference, the big boy talked with the press from 7.11.24, maybe Biden should avoid doing anything publicly on Thursdays.  Because that was another disaster, I think, worse than the debate.  It’s pretty clear what’s going on here, and not everyone is up for maintaining the illusion because, in President Obama’s case, he doesn’t want to see his communist vision for America go up in flames, which it’s headed to do.  In desperation, the Obama faction of the Democrat party, the domestic terrorists, know Biden isn’t going to beat Trump in an election of any kind.  So they want someone to replace Biden who can.  But this is where all their tampering over the last century with the American way of life is blowing up in their face, and it’s pretty fun to watch.  Because they deserve it, they have been terrible people, malicious, and even ruthless.  And they have it coming, and then some, in spectacular ways that will justify a public beating for their high crimes and misdemeanors.  However, the Big Lie they have been talking about over the last three years applies to anybody who questions election fraud in the 2020 election.  Auuuh, the Big Lie has been that Biden was ever a president and that the Democrats wanted anything but the destruction of our country forever.  Joe Biden did not win 81 million votes in 2020.  The government cheated massively to put Joe Biden in place, and the intelligence community violated all kinds of laws to make it happen.  But the Big Lie was that Joe Biden won the election and beat President Trump.  And you know how you know, because under all these debate performances and press conferences where Biden obviously can’t compete, is the truth of the real Big Lie, the exact opposite of what they have been telling us, and that is that Joe Biden won that election in 2020 because they know that in 2024, they can’t get by with that same lie again. 

The experiment by the Administrative State, serving the Deep State with a puppet president who is entirely controlled by a perpetual bureaucracy dangling by the strings of globalism, has been a disaster.  But sometimes, the best thing to do is to let the bad guys have their way so you can let them hang themselves with all the rope they dare to.  In the case of this Biden presidency and other situations, when your enemy wants to hang themselves, give them plenty of rope.  You might even help them onto a chair to stand on.  But when they are trying to sell a lie as reality, and you know better, which we did all along, they deserve the punishment they get, which Biden and the Democrat Party are experiencing now.  The belief that these communist administrators could perform a Weekend at Bernie presidency with Biden to preserve their century-long gains of destroying America from the inside out was founded on a house of cards soaking wet and flimsy, at best.  If you want to understand the post-Trump presidency trend, I would point everyone to look at the future politicians that nobody was noticing as Democrats enacted this whole Get Trump legal strategy.  Vivek Ramaswamy, I think, is the best Vice Presidential pick that Trump could have, but one way or another, he is part of the future starting with the second Trump term.  I’ve talked about him before regarding his fabulous book Woke Inc.  I don’t go out of my way to get too many people to sign books, but I did get him to sign my copy of that at an event that I was at with him and Mike Pompeo.  I wanted the signature because I knew what was shaping up in politics to be a significant change state, and what Vivek is up to as a very young man is the destruction of the Administrative State.  He’s written four books on the subject now and will be associated with Trump and economic policy in this second term. residing in the background of all this Democrat desperation is the knowledge that their house of cards is falling apart everywhere.  Their New Deal of 30s-era communism, which should have never happened, has run its course.  And people are sick of the limits and hungry for the anti-bureaucratic world of Vivek Ramaswamy.  Forget about Trump; it’s young people like Vivek and J.D. Vance who are the future of politics, along with family support from Don Jr and even Barron Trump, who has been making appearances more and more now with the election looming.  Democrats and the Deep State have shown the world what they are, and that world is massively rejecting them.  They put the Big Lie, which is the Biden presidency, in place, hoping to cool heads and get control of all life through the Administrative State, but with the Supreme Court ruling against Chevron, 40 years of overreach is coming undone rapidly.  I think the Supreme Court is reading Vivek’s books, and the trend is heading away from massive bureaucracies making up rules as they go, sold to us by a puppet president like the one Joe Biden has shown.  The Chevron case by the Supreme Court will have massive implications as we move into the second Trump term, and the many people who make up that worthless administrative state will find themselves justifiably dismantled in the way that is spelled out in Vivek’s many books on the matter.  That is the wave of the future, and the Big Lie has been to hold that trend off with a stolen election, hoping that by the time Biden had to run again, the Deep State would gain control over the human race, and that hasn’t happened.  Instead, they have the opposite. 

You have to remember that the Big Lie was not in questioning the results of the 2020 election.  It was the reality that the election had been rigged in every way that Rudy Guiliani, Sidney Powell, Mike Lindell, and Steve Bannon had been saying it was.  And more.  There are cases all over Wisconsin, Georgia, and Pennsylvania showing massive proof of election fraud in that election that put Biden in office, and now that they can’t campaign him from the basement, as they did in 2020 under cover of Covid, they can’t hide what a complete idiot he always was.  In 2024, Biden has to compete; he has to go out and talk to people, and he can’t.  I would argue that he couldn’t in 2020 and before.  I remember how it was in 2020 when he came out of South Carolina, but he was selected, not elected, because he was too dumb to challenge his puppeteers and showed a willingness to do anything they told him to stay in power.  As a compromised person with a crime family making money off his corruption, Joe Biden seems like the ultimate extortion racket.  That is until they wanted him to give all that power back.  Based on Biden’s public appearances, he is sinking the administrative state in ways they were never prepared to deal with.  And what will be born of those ashes is what people like Vivek Ramaswamy will deliver, which comes with much-justified panic and a much better world for the rest of us.
