The 1776 Report: One of the greatest things President Trump did during his first term

I personally think it’s one of the most extraordinary things that President Trump did during his first four years in office, but it was published during that tumultuous time as he had to leave and Biden was inserted.  As soon as the election results were in, I hunkered down, knowing there would be some dark days ahead.  We had just struggled through a horrendous year with Covid and now the tunnel in those cold days of 2020 going into 2021 had just gotten much longer.  But like all things that the Trump Organization does, and President Trump himself built up the brand in ways that greatly accentuated America, even with all the chaos of election fraud and talk of insurrection, the President in one of his final moments of power commissioned The 1776 Report, which was to be part of a larger project, The 1776 Commission, that would evolve into a new kind of Mt. Rushmore park dedicated to American patriotism.  I even noticed that an old friend of mine, Joshua Charles was on it as the President picked a handful of people to record what America was supposed to be so future generations wouldn’t forget, which was clearly at that time and now, trying to be erased by globalist forces hell-bent on our complete destruction.  When it mattered most, Trump was a patriot who wanted to counter The 1619 Project, which was a hostile Marxist organization established to rewrite American history into victimized slave state criteria, when it was obviously the opposite.  America, because of its Constitution, ended slavery.  It didn’t build the nation off it as it was being proposed by the American-hating political parties who smelled blood in the water, blood they poured in deliberately.  Yet in those dark moments, Trump showed best who he was and just how dedicated he was to our country, and he truly showed that he loved it as much if not more, than the rest of us.

I didn’t expect anything out of Trump at that point, and in November of 2020, right after the election, I turned to someone I like a lot to gauge my opinions on the matter and recharge my patriotism, Cleon Skousen, books like The Naked Communist, The Naked Capitalist, and The 5000 Year Leap.  It was clear to me what was happening. Skousen had warned about it in the 1950s and 1960s, and his words were actually coming true in 2020.  I was so angry about the election, and so many people around me were asking me what to do, they were ready to pick up arms and retake the government.  So, I needed perspective as Biden stepped into the White House.  My wife and I hit the road to get away for a while as we traveled all over the United States in our RV to “think.”  It started in the deserts of New Mexico but ended up in Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, and South Dakota for a while and I didn’t notice myself the report that Trump’s 1776 Commission had written.  It was published to the public in several forms during that exact time, first as a PDF and then as a softcover book.  Then, as a hardcover during that following summer.  But by then the damage was well under way.  The first thing that Biden did on day one in office was decommission The 1776 Commission and attempt to stifle the report.  The Biden administration, along with their globalist insurgents, was attempting to erase America, and they were starting with all the patriotic acts President Trump had been implementing in order to demoralize our nation into submission. We weren’t witnessing a transfer of power popularly elected by the people.  We were seeing a hostile coup disguised as a free election but intended to quietly conquer us all with a well-planned trojan horse sent by globalists who were making their power move. 

But The 1776 Report was like Noah’s Ark in those dark and stormy days that clearly announced what a second Trump term would look like and is the blueprint for our resurrection from the ashes of that purposeful destruction.  I returned from those trips out west in the deserts and mountains with a renewed sense of patriotism, and I was thrilled to read the Report, which I’d recommend to everyone now.  For those looking for revenge in 2024, we have long waited for this moment, and the guide for what to do next is right there in the Report.  Anybody who questions President Trump and his intentions can only read that report and know what he has in mind.  And I’m excited about it because I don’t see just the start of a second Trump term to get back to the good days we had under him and the patriotism that was sure to be established in the wake of it.  But I was invited recently to a kind of open discussion on Elon Musk’s X platform where J.D. Vance, Vivek Ramaswamy, and Musk himself were discussing current events in ways I have never heard before.  There were other speakers there, but it was an exciting debate that showed me what life after Trump could look like.  It all started with The 1776 Report, published in a chaotic time as almost putting Moses in a little straw boat to save America from a treacherous pharaoh wanting to preserve his power from the forces of freedom. 

It would be a good idea to get this report and pass it around to friends and family as we approach the 2024 election.  I would call it the battle plan for the next few decades of American sovereignty and the goals of our republic, and it will be one of the most significant contributions of the Trump presidency for many hundreds of years to come.  History will remember these dark days for the leaders who emerged, and I couldn’t help but think all that while listening to that event with Ramaswamy, Vance, and Musk all at the same time and place.  I could see Trump retiring after a second term, turning all this over to them and us for a continuation of The 1776 Project so that young people would never forget.  I would consider Vance and Ramaswamy very young and the country’s future.  And their guiding light, as should be everyone, is The 1776 Report.  That is what America is all about and how we need to be thinking about 2024 and beyond.  We have seen now what the world wishes for us, and yes, revenge is the correct word for it, because there can be no justice in the world if the people who did all this to us are not punished.  But punishment comes in many forms.  Living well is one of them.  And in the spirit of that report written and published as the Biden administration was attempting to erase America for all time, some of American life’s best attributes emerged.  I saw it as my wife and I traveled that year, camping in a different spot almost every night and spending my mornings and evenings reading books and writing myself.  Touching the face of America and all its glory that Trump managed to capture in The 1776 Report which future generations will understand to be the miracle of America which might end up saving humanity after all from the clutches of evil in all its forms, expressed most destructively through globalism and corporate communism that has showed us its teeth for history to remember.

The Dummies of Davos: Rather than taking over the world they should be in jail

Yikes, this year’s World Economic Forum meetings in Davos were not very appetizing. Whatever they were trying to do, in looking like a bunch of smart people gathered to talk about solving the world’s problems, it blew up in their faces quite dramatically. As I say all the time, I watch the reports from Davos whenever they have them, so I have observed them evolve over the years. They are entertaining, and I enjoy watching what those kinds of people think, even if I disagree with them. Regarding the Davos participants, many people are naturally insecure about what they believe are “smart people.” The World Economic Forum participants tend to be highly educated, and the natural assumption is that because of their many years of commitment to academics, they are naturally more intelligent than the average person. So automatically, a barrier between them and everyone else forms, which they exploit to their advantage. Over the years, they have used that relationship to make a move for world domination because of their leverage over people who form across the lines of intelligence. The Davos participants are a group of people who assume that they are the smartest people in existence and that, by that nature, they should rule over those not as smart as them. They think they know better than any of the world’s governments and the people who elected them what should happen on Earth and how the affairs of human beings should be conducted. And because most people don’t feel very confident in having a conversation with academic people, all conflicts are avoided and the Davos types came away with the impression that they had a right to rule the world, almost as if it were an obligation to their existence.

I would say that such impressions of intelligence only grew because people didn’t know who any of those people were. But once you understand them a bit, you find out that they aren’t very smart, just as is the case with most academic types. Once that natural assumption is removed, and you talk to some of these people, you find out that they aren’t brilliant and pursue academic lifestyles to disguise their insecurities about intelligence. And at that point, the ruse falls apart. Which is what has been happening in Davos over the last several years. It used to be that nobody outside of their network paid any attention, except people like me. But because of their massive political tampering around the world, by attempting to take over governments by unelected bureaucrats, and their role in starting the Covid crisis, which was detrimental to happiness everywhere, people are paying more attention to these malcontents than they ever have before which has forced them, at Davos, to be more self-conscious knowing that the world was paying attention to their every word, and scrutinizing it. Now, with the freedom of speech that is quite common on social media, especially in the United States, the filters the World Economic Forum has enjoyed in the past aren’t present, and people are noticing that not only are Klaus Schwab and the gang not very smart, but they are radical leftists that are dangerous to everyone’s personal lives. The more people learned about them, the harder they had to work to make a good public impression, which did not turn out well for them. Because they are coming across as the phonies they always were, without the intimidating presence of intelligence to back it up.

Not that there is anything wrong with academics, but most of the time, the case is “those who can’t do, teach” certainly comes into play here. What Davos was this year, 2024, was a collection of micromanagers who have very little understanding of how the world works and what the people in it are really like. Like most academics who pursue such a life to protect themselves from social judgment, the game works until reality displays the opposite. It’s not enough to have theories about how things should work. But when those theories are imposed upon people who know better because of vast life experience, the results are never good for the academic, and that is the best way to describe this past year of events at Davos. They failed miserably if they were trying to show how smart and capable they would be running a one-world government. Rather, they overplayed their hand because of the level of scrutiny they now have to overcome. More people are now paying attention to their antics, and that pressure negatively affects them. Most of the events of the week were centered around building trust with the public, which they had lost. And their market brand has taken a massive hit, which I would say they deserve emphatically. Over the last decade, they had a public impression of being “elite” in the world. But now, they just looked like a bunch of out-of-touch fools full of untested ideas that would only make everyone much more miserable along the way. And in trying to overcome that level of public scrutiny, they made fools of themselves. It’s hard to believe that anybody used to listen to these people: John Kerry, Larry Fink, Bill Gates, and many others. But people are much less inclined now that they know more about these people. The brand of the World Economic Forum has taken a major hit.

My name for them over the years has been the Desecrators of Davos because they tended to want to desecrate everything in the world that was related to value and national culture since they desired to rule the world, literally being the creation of the United Nations.  Their fantasy has been to be like the United States, only a collection of socialist nations as opposed to capitalist-driven states.  And that they were going to shame and desecrate any lifestyle that did not facilitate their whims of progressive thought.  But their approach made their effort appear more like a day in the life of the high school homecoming queen who ruled the halls of the government schools with peer pressure and inviting people to her latest party as the only claim to power.  Once people caught on, they were fine and free to enforce that rule by doing many other things there was to do in life but appease some worthless homecoming queen just to be seen being near her.  I would say that these characters deserve a new name, based on their performance at this year’s Davos events, and that is the Dummies of Davos because that is the only explanation of their performance that anyone could make.  What they showed to the world was dumb.  It is hardly the kind of behavior that would cause people to want to follow them and change their governments to appease their wishes.  What we know now is that most of those participants weren’t only dumb, but they should be under investigation or in jail for the mass destruction they have sponsored as part of their globalist social experiments that went wrong.  Law enforcement within the countries affected should arrest them and lock them away before they could do more harm.  And that the Dummies of Davos could be prevented from further harm in the critical years to come.

Trump the Invincible: A person only America could have produced

Now that we’ve been through a few primaries, and the bad guys out there have done everything they possibly could, including gross manipulations of the legal system to exert control over Trump, we are now seeing why only the President could have run for this office, and why he’s the only one who could return. Some real treacherous characters have been wrapped up in our government and media culture, even our military, and they have shown their worst. Trump sees himself as bigger than all them and beyond their influence, which we need now in America. What Trump is doing is something I teach to people, which is why I recognized many years ago the value of Trump running for president, even though everyone laughed it off as ridiculous at the time. I remember returning to the Ross Perot Reform Party days with Pat Buchanon when Trump tried to make headway as a third-party candidate. The key to Trump’s personality is a personal recognition of something significant and is quite specific to the American mindset, which naturally undoes the concept of globalism, which is of the individual showing dominance over collectivist behavior. When I teach these things in public and private settings, I use my metaphor of the lonely gunman who steps into a bar late at night during a storm with lightning streaking across the sky. He gets a drink at the bar with his back to the room, which is filled with criminals, thieves, and maniacal cutthroats. And the gunfighter drinks his drink in peace because he knows something about them that not even they learn about themselves. He places himself above them and their mechanisms of evil in ways that only individuality can do, and it is precisely what America has needed because only America could produce such a person.

A dog whistle from the radical left hoping to eliminate Trump from the realities mass collectivism

To watch Trump bringing the Republican Party together again after all that has been done and revealed over the last few years is astonishing compared to traditional measures, where politicians are always boot-licking someone because of the nature of getting elected, and they can never entirely do what is needed in these kinds of jobs, once they get them.  Even Julius Caesar was a pawn of the public as the conniving political machine of Rome dictated his ever-eroding concerns.  Reagan was an actor and could fake this swagger, but he never was a rugged individualist, the way people recognize Trump.  Trump learned to be that lonely gunfighter through many hard knocks in life, and now he is showing the value, and I’m pretty happy about it.  For some context, I’ll demonstrate here a speech I did to a crowd not long ago, and this was precisely what I was talking about.  I give that same speech to smaller groups of people in more focused settings, but it holds everywhere in every situation.  Trump is performing it on a large scale, but many people operate this way and are very successful in life in many ways of defining success.  It starts with an individual being born of their nature and value and expressing that in a cultural setting.  It’s essentially what the great American novel The Fountainhead was about, the famous novel by Ayn Rand, which should be required reading in every public school as soon as children can learn to read.  If we were serious about teaching kids to be great and have an excellent education in America, we’d teach kids those concepts.  Instead, we teach globalism and righteousness to authority, which destroys them for life. 

Many people never imagined that Trump would lock up the nomination through the New Hampshire primaries, wiping out all the rivals who have come out against him, thinking that collectivism would constantly beat out individualism. To conventional thinking, nobody would survive such a gauntlet. That is, except for me. I knew this day would come and how it would happen, even in the darkest days when everyone thought Trump was toast. Just as nobody would expect that lonely gunfighter to step into a bar of bandits ready to slay him with the twink of an eye at a moment’s notice, let alone enter that room with his back to the room. It is not at all surprising that Alex Soros has been putting out cryptic messages about assassinating Trump. There are lots of these bad guys who are thinking the same thing, but as I say, and sometimes have to prove, just because people intend to kill you, it doesn’t mean they can. Often, many other conditions keep them from doing it, which is part of my speech on individualism and the power of it over the collective masses. Coming out of New Hampshire after a dominating win in Iowa, it is good to see that Trump is invincible to all these hostile forces, even as they now plot to destroy him in any way possible. Just because they want to doesn’t mean they can, which is a condition at the heart of all of Ayn Rand’s novels, especially Atlas Shrugged. Why didn’t they kill John Galt at the end of the book? Because they couldn’t. For the same reason, they can’t do the same to Trump. They need him to make the world work, and the biggest secret is that collectivism is powerless and entirely depends on individuals to carry them through life.

I’ve heard a lot of idiotic stuff over the last four years, starting when the COVID bioweapon was released from China to attempt to destroy Trump’s presidency.  The core of the dispute was collectivism against individualism, and nothing is more effective for scaring the sheep than a deadly virus to convince the masses to run into the arms of an overly protective government and to give up these fantasies of individualism like a global pandemic.  The core of the strategy, which is how you know the whole thing was fake, was the intent to terrify people away from individualism.  When, in fact, the world was rebelling for individualism, which isn’t a new process, but one that started very early in America with a mass movement that was reflected in the Ayn Rand books and certainly played out in the best of the Hollywood movies which expanded on those ideas best when done well.  From Ben Hur and The Ten Commandments to God’s role in the universe as the ultimate individualist, a solitary figure who created the universe and everything in it, which we celebrate on Sundays in church.  The struggle was always against individualism from the mass collectivists hoping to hide their parasitic natures behind a social safety net that keeps their ruse from the world.  But Trump exploits that, and now people can see the truth, a truth they want for themselves.  They want to be free of the parasites of collectivism, and Trump gives them the best chance of breaking free by inserting a barrier between them and those, (who would dare stand at the bar with their back to the crowd and those in the crowd who plot to use that person for all they can squeeze out of them as all collectivist societies do to their individuals.  Trump is unbeatable and has learned to embrace that nature of himself over time and a well-lived life.  As a gift, he is bringing that personality trait to America, which people want desperately, and it’s showing itself in dramatic ways in 2024 politics.  And I love it!  Finally!

45% of Companies Plan to Eliminate Bachelor Degree Requirments: You can’t buy experience, and talent doesn’t come from institutionalism

It hasn’t been that long; the temptations for some global world order would try to resurrect the old European values once travel and communication became easy.  But the concept of a college education isn’t ancient, but the values of good labor are as old as time.  And the experiment, like many concepts of globalism, has come to a crashing end.  In 2024, 45% of companies plan to eliminate their bachelor’s degree requirements so they can access labor that is more appropriate for their needs.  The world has figured out something it has been trying to hide for at least half a century: you can’t buy your way into intelligence, which was the assumption with college programs.  Then, to make matters worse, it was the colleges who were the first around the world to adopt a World Economic Forum outlook, where to get a degree after you’ve paid these excessively liberal people a fortune of your hard-earned money, you had to become some form of desecrator of social order to get a good enough grade to graduate.  When I think of college, the very first thing that jumps into my mind is illicit sex and way too much drinking.  And after four years of that lifestyle, what kind of people do we think are produced for the world?  Partying is the value system that the college brand sold to the world, and for liberalism, it became the boot camp of society.  Those who did it and endured it were rewarded with white color jobs at a higher rate of pay.  But what companies have had to admit, especially after Covid, is that they don’t need or want those kinds of job fulfillment from college degree types of people.  And they are turning away from the college scam. 

Key findings:

  • 45% of companies plan to eliminate bachelor’s degree requirements for some positions in 2024
  • 55% of companies eliminated bachelor’s degree requirements in 2023
  • 70% say they eliminated bachelor’s degree requirements to create a more diverse workforce
  • 4 in 5 employers value experience over education when evaluating job candidates
  • Two-thirds of employers have candidates complete test assignments

I know many people with Master’s degrees and Ph.D.s. Most of the people I deal with daily are people with advanced degrees and get very excited when their favorite college teams play a sporting event like basketball or football.  It would be an understatement to say they lose their minds on rationality on such occasions.  I also know many backyard geniuses who run derby cars on hot summer nights at fairgrounds to roaring crowds who barely graduated high school.  My wife and I have also been to college, so I have seen a lot of what works and doesn’t over the years, and I’ve never been a fan of the college approach to labor fulfillment.  In 2021, the scam was revealed when the political left took things too far and showed all their cards with the same kind of process they used to sucker companies into hiring their college graduates over other types of employees.  This time, it was the attempt to launch the COVID-19 vaccine shot in the same way, and it was interesting to see how corporate behavior went into instant compliance mode.  The way that corporate behavior adapted to COVID mandates, social distancing, and vaccine shot compliance was precisely the game that was played with pay scales and access to white color jobs in corporate environments.  College was designed to remove merit from the hiring process and ignore raw genius in exchange for adherence to a global administrative state.  The experiment has failed dramatically, and companies are no longer willing to suffer the impacts of such a lackluster workforce. 

My experience with college applicants is that it might give them some discipline structurally in social conditions that they might not have acquired from their parents, but it fails to do anything to provide them with some level of intelligence.  Many of these people would have been better off watching The Wizard of Oz as kids.  The degree they get only has an actual use as a psychological mechanism.  It does little to nothing for an employer looking for that next genius that can bring them a competitive edge over their rivals in marketplace capitalism.  College was never designed to do what it was selling: to be an institution of intelligence. Instead, they became incubation factories for liberalism and were created from the start to be so.  I wish they were different, but they have only been around in popular culture since entering the 20th Century.  But labor has existed since the beginning of time, and our measure of good and bad labor hasn’t changed.  It was based on performance, and to hire the college graduate of liberalism, we had to ignore those rules and assume that the piece of paper that cost many tens of thousands of dollars to get, and untold personal desecrations of an individual lifestyle, were going to benefit companies in some way.  To say that the experiment of global liberalism has been very costly to companies over the last several decades has been a severe understatement, and now, since Covid put everything on the front page, companies are finally admitting to the failure.  You can’t buy talent; you have to develop it with experience. 

Most people reading this are probably college graduates but think about it before you get too defensive.  What is the first thing you think of when considering college?  I remember a lot of nice girls and guys who managed to get out of high school somewhat intact, as virgins who did not drink at all or say curse words (this was in the 80s) who, by the time they were away from their parents in a college, turned into complete lunatics.  I knew one such girl who was clean as a whistle, graduated high school and was most poised to enter adult life as Mary Poppins.  I saw her next at Miami University on a Friday night, being gang raped on the hood of a car with her clothes ripped off and thrown everywhere, nearly passed out from intoxication.  People were walking by like it was an everyday occurrence.  People didn’t have cell phones back then, so nobody recorded it.  But nobody was all that shocked.  These days, the whole thing would be a video on Porn Hub.  It happens every night somewhere, especially on college campuses.  And that poor girl was ruined for life, never to recapture what she had been and never would.  She got a good job, but was she a good employee?  Of course not; she was destroyed and would remain that way for the rest of her life.  Her kids would always know, and so would her husband.  And everyone who was there with her that night.  And that wasn’t the last time for her.  She had three more years of college.  College was never about getting more brilliant for the political left and their desire for an administrative state.  It was about desecrating the Christianized America and forcing them through the gauntlet so that their kids could get a better job than they had when the parents were kids themselves.  And they’d throw their kids into that rat race to save them from blue-collar work that the world didn’t respect.  But the game has not produced what employers want, which is actual skill, and now they are paying for it.  They are finally making the necessary changes they should have all along and admitting that the college-trained employee is not very good for them.  What they want is talent built by experience.  And there is no way to cheat that.  You have to live life to gain that experience, and desecrating yourself in public drunk on a weekend of debauchery hasn’t helped corporate America be very competitive.  And now they are finally admitting to it.

What We Are Fighting For: Adventures that show more than curiosity

I don’t do it often, but sometimes the occasion is right, which is undoubtedly the case here.  I recently did a little article on one of my daughters who had just started a line of coffee that complimented her art business.  While doing the video for that daughter, I talked a bit about my other daughter, who, at that time, was at Loch Ness with her family doing neat things.  Out of curiosity, many people have asked me about elements of my personal life, including my kids.  They must not know what to think about the kind of children I would have raised, expecting something outlandish to come from me.  So, there is a lot of curiosity about the type of people who would come out of my family, not to take anything away from their attributes as individuals.  But to say the least, I am proud of my kids.  Life isn’t always easy, but they handle themselves well and are good people.  I expect that out of them, but given the various doubts about how to have a good family and raise good kids, there are many curious people.  While those questions have been coming in, my oldest daughter returned from her trip to Scotland with her husband and their son (one of my grandsons), and they cut together a nice video of their trip.  And when I say that, I’d say it’s not just a regular home video of their many adventures, but done with a professional flair with the idea of maybe starting a YouTube travel channel kind of show.  They travel a lot, their 7th trip of the year, and spent two solid months on the road going to various places.  Their trip to Scotland, much of it shown in the video, was several weeks in November and was interesting enough to show off here so people could see a bit about my family in a nonpolitical setting to satisfy their curiosities. 

I like my family, and if given a choice, we often travel together.  We were with her on most of the seven trips I mentioned that my oldest daughter had been on this past year.  My wife and I took a few trips, especially regarding competitive shooting schedules.  I have another daughter and more grandkids often included in these trips.  I prefer to have them all come, including their dogs, lizards, and whatever else is part of our family.  Just before the trip to Scotland, we spent the end of September together in Florida at Disney World.  Before that, I had just returned from Japan, which followed several other weeks in places like Mammoth Cave and Land Between the Lakes.  With all that I write here, it’s a small part of my life, as there is always a lot going on, and everything moves quickly.  But I think the pace and the amount of things we all do together showed well in my daughter’s video on Scotland.  My son-in-law and my grandson even excitingly contributed to the video, illustrating what a pleasant, healthy family experience should look like.  When I watched the video, it reminded me of what is essential in all these adventures.  And I was proud of them for living outside the box and showing what a good life and family look like.  Which, as a parent, is all you want for your kids. 

All my grandchildren are homeschooled by their parents, my kids.  And on these trips my oldest daughter views as homeschool experiences.  Even though they were traveling, they still had school on the road.  When they travel in their RV within the states, they often set up a class for a few hours per day in a little room while on the road.  In that way, education is always the key to travel, learning many new things, and treating every day like a field trip to an exotic location.  So literally, as my youngest daughter was doing a video with me about her new line of coffee, my oldest was at Loch Ness touching the water there, as shown in the video, which puts a bit of continuity to the various conversations where little bits of my personal life spill out for the audience to see.  All this reminded me of how inferior the public school experience is compared to what we do as a family.  It always reminded me how little we value the public education graduation experience, as my kids spent their senior years in high school in Europe.  They graduated, of course, but they left school early to get to living life, which has always been essential for me.  They never missed that public school experience, which has carried over into adulthood.  They are unique people, and I would argue they are much better prepared for life than most people coming out of the public school experience.  Additionally, my wife was an honor student in school until she met me.  When we were dating, I told her how stupid the whole school experience was, and she graduated early, just like her daughters, without going to her formal graduation with the cap and gown ceremony.  On the day she was supposed to graduate, she and I were on a road trip, traveling very fast on our own journey during a romantic getaway. 

The point here is this: people assume that my position on things, especially very conservative politics, might produce little monsters of anti-compliance. Instead, I would say my approach to parenting made very thoughtful young people who know how to get around safely in the world.  And to get up in the morning, always looking to expand their intellects.  It’s not always apparent as kids go through their biological progression, but once things settle into their thirties, you see what neat people they often grow up to be.  And in the case of my kids on that Scotland trip, I am very proud of them for being good people in a big world, showing that they are in control and not being swept away by it.  Traveling in that style is no big deal for them, and I think people would be interested in their travel channel on YouTube.  We indeed take enough trips to make it enjoyable.  That was the first time she approached the subject as a travel vlog with full commentary.  Which I thought was very good. But it reminded me of the skills it takes to live such a life and how grateful I am that we did not listen to all the noisy people who tried to get us to raise our children like all the other poor kids running on the treadmill of public school and going through the ridiculous motions of college life.  My kids shown in that video have been married for around 15 years, which often shocks people.  They are good, solid people with good jobs, a good work ethic, a nice home, and the ability to create a functional family.  And it’s nice for me to see them doing good things.  And for the curious who wonder, it’s fun for them too.

Lifting the Curse: What we must do in 2024

One of the key ways that the enemies of America have been able to erode our ethical values as a society is by attacking our morality once it has been exposed. And we are made vulnerable to this trait once attackers gain control of our basic needs for survival by controlling our means of income. That is the entire strategy of the Desecrators of Davos, the global tyrants of the World Economic Forum, and their propped-up bad guy, China, to rule the world through a communist plan. The more they have been able to attack the basic value system of Western Civilization, the more control they have been able to exert over individual people in a cultural, mass way. That is why I have said often lately there are things in life that I clearly won’t do for money because if you are functioning from an ethical behavior, then automatically, the bad guys lose a tremendous amount of leverage over you by nature. This is, after all, what the whole Epstein Island extortion racket was all about. And I can say, and I’d like to share that freedom with other people, that the best things in life do not come just from the most income. Not that wealth is bad. But wealth that is tied to strings attached that people in the World Economic Forum control is bad, and often results in a loss of freedom. Sure, you might have large sums of money in the bank account, but if the bank can take it away from you on a whim, then what you have isn’t yours. So we have to fight these bad guys with all that in mind. Over the last few months, I was offered a few seven-figure opportunities that I turned down. The reasoning was similar to an old story I love from a great book, Myths and Folklore of Ireland, by Jeremiah Curtin, specifically “The King of Erin and the Queen of the Lonesome Island.” What makes Western civilization so great is that our culture, cascading off of biblical tradition, produces great art that represents real values, which are at the heart of this specified story. I think of this story when people ask me why I turn down offers like that. And I offer it to other people when we discuss what should or should not be done to acquire wealth, and the traps that often come with it by the tyrants of the world that want nothing more than to control you and everything you care about.

I highly revere Irish literature, especially the kind attributed to the King of Erin and his love interest, the Queen of Lonesome Island. It’s a good story about some ill-fated characters who find each other romantically inclined, but he’s married to an evil queen and has a couple of illegitimate kids with her that he thinks are his own. So when he has a kid with the Queen of Lonesome Island and grows up to reconcile with his father and compete with these other siblings for the father’s attention, the mother’s love, and the rights to a kingdom, the setting is set for a grand adventure. One of my favorite books in the history of the world is Finnegans Wake by James Joyce, which I consider to be written in the language of the Elohim. I don’t think it was meant for human eyes and ears. But to the Divine Council and their rebels against goodness that thrive beyond our ability to see them. Yet they are there with massive armies of malice; to deal with them, we must have some intellectual capacity to accommodate them into our thoughts. And many of these Irish stories do just that. With that tradition in mind, the young prince, trying to reconcile with his father, is told to save his kingdom by going to the flaming well of Tubber Tintye and retrieving three cups of water from that golden castle, currently under a dark spell that has corrupted the world, kind of like our current times with the Biden administration.

After a series of adventures, the prince arrives at the castle where all the giants and monsters plagued by the curse are asleep for seven years, a recurring numerical theme we see in the ancient world.  It is certainly present in the Bible, but it traces back tens of thousands of years to pagan religions obsessed with star alignments and heavenly bodies’ mathematical comings and goings.  So the prince plans to get into the flaming room of gold to get water during this 7-year period when all the monsters are asleep.  So he comes to the hall in the castle that has thirteen rooms along it, more numerical significance.  The thirteenth room is the destination, and along the way are rooms with beautiful women in each one, twelve rooms in total; these are the twelve disciples, the twelve months of the year, the relationship to eternity, and the universe in general.  As the young prince walks toward that thirteenth room, he looks into the first room door and sees the most beautiful woman he has ever seen lying there invitingly.  He is tempted to go in but resists.  He’s there to accomplish a mission and tries to stay focused.  This would be equivalent in our current time to China offering to pay off a politician or to send a honeypot to your hotel while out on a business trip, hoping to get dirt on you. 

The prince goes to the next room, and in that room, he sees a woman who makes the previous woman look ugly by comparison.  And so it goes all the way down the twelve rooms, each with a much more beautiful woman in them.  Until he gets to the thirteenth room, where he sees the most beautiful woman ever created by the universe. This is the Queen of Tubber Tintye, and she is sleeping on a golden couch, spinning around the room around that well of fire where he is supposed to get his water to save his kingdom.  The prince rests for the next six days (these are the days of the week leading up to the Sabbath), gathers his water, and then leaves to save his kingdom.  But first, he leaves behind a polite letter explaining to the Queen who he is and what he has done.  After another six years, the Queen wakes up and sees a baby about six years old playing there on the floor, waiting for parental guidance, so she is angry to know who gave her a baby.  After some searching, she finds the letter and learns about the prince.  The story climaxes with the death of the evil queen and her two manipulative sons.  All the bad people die, which is just a great story.  The King of Erin is reunited with his real love, the Queen of Lonesome Island as the Queen of Tubber Tintye lifts the curse over all the land.  The young prince marries the Queen and is now the king over Tubber Tintye, and everyone lives happily ever after.  But why? The prince resisted temptation and stayed true to his purpose in life.  And while he could have stopped by that first or second room and had relations with what he thought at the time was the most beautiful woman in the world, he would have given up entire kingdoms in the process.  But he saved the world because he held out, resisted temptation, and stayed focused on retrieving the golden flaming fire.  And in so many ways, that is how we will defeat evil now.  Only the burning well is our upcoming election of 2024.  And we must stay on point to deliver our society from evil and slay the parasites that stand in our way for the betterment of all humanity.

‘Magnum Force’ is the Best Movie to Understand in 2024: No, you aren’t crazy, it was the world that went in that direction

It wasn’t always how it is now; there used to be good movies, and they were far from woke.  And it surprised me when Steve Bannon brought up one of my favorite movies on his podcast, the Warroom, at the end of the year in 2023 because I don’t hear many people who even know what it is.  But it reminded me of several things, one of which is the answer to all the woke options out there.  Going into 2024, the best movie ever made that deals specifically with the 2024 election is Magnum Force, with Clint Eastwood from the five-movie Dirty Harry series.  It is a unique plot that deals with police corruption, crime and punishment, and doing the right thing while society is trying to drag you into doing all the bad stuff.  It also reminded me of how I raised my children; every year on New Year’s Eve to bring in the new year, we would watch the Dirty Harry marathon, where we watched three of the movies on New Year’s Eve, then two more on New Year’s Day.  But among them all, my favorite of the five, was Magnum Force, and still is.  So it certainly got my attention when Steve Bannon recommended the movie on the Warroom.  Magnum Force is about that fine line between right and wrong and features a group of cops who go rogue to eradicate the bad guys, which has evolved into real life dramatically in the current FBI, CIA, and other intelligence agencies as discussed through the Trump administration’s exposure of their various antics.  It’s much worse in real life than in 1974 San Francisco when the movie occurred.  But the problems are the same and people can watch those movies and see how things have gone wrong today because those movies were warnings all those years ago of what was coming. 

When people ask me, which happens every week, why I’m not in the movie business, the answer is that I wanted to make movies like Magnum Force, and Hollywood isn’t built to accommodate those movies anymore.  I think it’s great that there was a period when movies like Dirty Harry movies were made, and they certainly provide a quick check that we are not all crazy compared to how things are now.  I used to show the film to my kids and their boyfriends, then spouses, every year, not just for entertainment but to show them how values have evolved and that America was once a place that made movies like Magnum Force to express ideas through entertainment that were valuable to the audience.  When we look at what San Francisco has become, the warning signs were always right there, and they were apparent to me when the world was still good and made sense.  I was showing my kids these movies to close out a year and usher in the new one to teach them values, which looks to have worked.  They are emotionally solid people even now, even the tag-alongs who emerged from those relationships.  They might have thought of me as old fashioned at the time, a dad showing them old Clint Eastwood movies that were much slower than the quick-cut movies of today filled with woke messaging.  But they watched them to appease me and to spend time with me.  And even now that they are in their 30s, it’s become a running joke in our family that they still remember and value. 

What’s so special about Magnum Force, directed by Ted Post and written by excellent writers, is that it deals with corruption and how it happens, either by the side of the criminals or the cops who are supposed to enforce the law to keep society together.  Clint Eastwood’s Dirty Harry character finds himself locked in a vice between those two forces, representing the very fine line that often presents itself in these cases that is more than realistic.  When I was growing up, I wanted nothing more than to make my movies using Magnum Force as an example.  But I was so frustrated with the business because it had changed so much that I moved to other things.  My brother lived in California for a while and has some producer credits, so we know what we are talking about when we say it; they don’t make movies like Magnum Force anymore for many reasons.  One big one is that movie writers are too busy getting lattes on the Santa Monica Pier rather than living life and letting that experience show in their art.  Most of these young people don’t even know how to shoot a gun because they have grown up in such a woke period.  They don’t have the experience to write a gritty crime drama like Magnum Force because they don’t understand the complexities of life, so how can they write about it?  But compared to what’s being made today, Hollywood is way off the mark.  But it wasn’t always that way.  If you want to see great movies, they used to make them.  You don’t have to put up with the crap they make now.  You can always watch the old films about real problems unfolding way ahead of their time. 

I did run into someone who knew about these old movies, even though it’s a mild influence.  But someone noticed that one of my carry guns is a Smith & Wesson .500 Magnum, the most powerful production handgun in the world.  It used to be the .44 Magnum by S&W back in the days of the Dirty Harry films, and I always found his reasoning for using such a large weapon for police work compelling.  I carry an S&W .500 Magnum with the extra long barrel, over 8 inches, because so many of the bad guys these days are wearing Call of Duty body armor they can get off Amazon, and they can get armor for their cars, so it makes sense.  You don’t want bullets bouncing off windows and off of people, even in populated areas where people could be hurt subsequently.  You have to hit what you aim at, which is a theme of the Dirty Harry movies in general, which are about so much more than movies made now are.  But for a sanity check, most of America used to think in the way that the Dirty Harry movies are represented, and I would argue that they still do.  Watching them now, they are much better than the garbage produced in Hollywood.  And I would say that you have options if you are looking for entertainment and a way to understand the themes and actions coming at us in 2024.  Watching Magnum Force will be far more valuable than the nightly news.  And you may learn something.  It had warnings that people scratched their heads at in the past, including John Wayne, who thought Clint Eastwood’s character was too cynical and not “pro-American” enough.  But as we have learned over the next 50 years, what the Dirty Harry movies were all about is what we see now.  And it can be scary unless you know how to walk that fine line, which is the point of the movies entirely.

Speed and Risk Make Things Better: The nightmare of the By-Pass 4 interchanges

There is a silent evil that works in the world that I had to explain to a few smart people this past week, which deserves to be heard by everyone.  One of the great examples of this evil is a road I have driven on for many decades, the By-Pass 4 interchange in Butler County, Ohio, one of the largest arteries for industrial traffic in a very productive county.  It used to be that I could drive 100 mph down that road all the time, and it was never a problem.  But these days, there are too many lights at every intersection to get up any speed before you have to slow down again, which is, of course, by design.  Over the years, to answer all the upset families who lost people to car crashes, not to mention the complaints of the insurance industry who had to make payouts on all the minor fender bender claims, the answer to this overly managed world is to lower the speed limit, put up more stop signs and traffic lights to frustrate high-speed travel in the name of safety.  But safety has a cost all its own, and productivity usually gets sacrificed.  If you can’t drive 100 mph, you will arrive at your destination much later, and among the world’s bureaucrats, there is almost a delightful glee when they tell you that something is going to take time because “it’s better safe than sorry.”  But to my eyes, the question must always be asked, “Is it?”  I would argue, and do all the time, that things were much better when we could drive 100 mph down By-Pass 4.  Sure, there were occasional crashes and deaths as a result.  But drivers were noticeably better; they had to be. Whenever you dumb down a human population with over-processing, you tend to inspire them to think less, and high-speed driving makes people think more, and they are better people as a result.

The solution to the By-Pass 4 complaints by the central planners who tend to get involved in these political problems of traffic management was to slow everyone down to where it’s faster to ride a bicycle and to take as much risk out of the process to make it so that accidents rarely happened.  This might be fine if the goal is to remove automobile accidents in your culture.  But if productivity is the goal, and speed is associated with that objective, then the By-Pass 4 exchanges along its path are devastating, which I point out in my video.  Without question, a World Economic Forum or United Nations statistician could show that such an arrangement will save lives and property value by eliminating crashes, but ultimately, the safest thing anybody could do if they didn’t want to have a collision is never to leave their house, and that looks to be the intention behind the traffic pattern design of Butler County.  Without question, everyone had good intentions, but the result of all this activity has produced slow roads that greatly limit personal freedom and make driving a real pain in the neck.  It takes a long time to get anywhere because political problems have always been solved over time by addressing complaints of every crash with more traffic lights, speed limits, and stop signs.  In the case of By-Pass 4, presenting traffic in such a way that a driver-side door never faces oncoming traffic to eliminate crashes that statistically occurred often when traffic had to engage each other at 90-degree angles and human decisions had to be made for everyone’s preservation.  By taking that decision-making process out of human hands, we must now ask whether we are all better off.  Is a safe society better than a risky society if the result is dumber humans? 

Of course, this is about more than traffic, and you can find this same mentality in almost every industry, particularly manufacturing.  Whenever there is an employee accident or an engineering challenge, the trend of the college-trained European worshipper is to put up the stopsticks and slow down a process to make a safer world.  But is it a better world, and I would argue it’s not?  Safer does not make something better.  That may be one value, but it’s certainly not the entire value.  As I always say from my favorite sport, Fast Draw, you have to manage speed and accuracy with the amount of risk your skill level allows.  If people are forced to improve their skills rather than pandering down to their weaknesses, often the result will be much better because the process of thinking makes it so that you get a better human being in the process, rather than playing to those weaknesses so that anybody can do anything.  That is the trend in our highly regulatory environment filled with government bureaucrats.  Their answer to everything is to slow things down so they can get their slow-minded, feeble minds wrapped around the problem.  Once you accept that strategy, your entire society is filled with timid people who lose the skill to manage risk because their lives depend on it.  Instead, they only need to know how to follow the rules and follow the guy in front of them as designed by some centralized planner. 

The result is that you might have fewer accidents, and you may fix the problem of quality escapes in whatever business you might be operating.  But like the traffic patterns, the safest thing you can do is to do nothing, and all too often, that is what we get out of society.  We get things slow, but at least we live to get them.  But the process of getting it kills us.  Because we may be alive physically, but our minds are dying because we stop challenging ourselves.  Such is the case in Butler County, Ohio; due to hundreds and thousands of traffic accidents and residential complaints, there are now traffic lights at almost every intersection where people travel.  And it’s tough to get from one place to another.  Not because the roads are bad.  They are pretty good.  But because there is too much starting and stopping, you can never get a good flow from your commute.  That is because the political solution to traffic problems was to hire pin-headed European-oriented Marxists to solve a uniquely American problem. You embrace risk and manage it for personal fulfillment, resulting in productive output.  Not that safety isn’t necessary, but it doesn’t take priority over productive enterprise, whether it’s getting to your destination 4-6 minutes faster or achieving a higher sales objective in your company.  Managing risk is the way to improve output.  Slowing everything down only panders to people’s weaknesses and, as a result, makes your society much less dynamic.  Everyone might live in the end, but is that the goal of life?  If everyone is just a brain-dead slug, is that better than a society where you could drive 100 mph to rock and roll music with the window down and vastly enjoy the experience because you don’t have to stop?  I’ve seen it both ways, and I can say from experience that driving 100 mph is far better.  Speed is better most of the time.  Among the skilled, accuracy can also be achieved.  But when you pander to society down to the weaknesses of the participants, then you get a lot more of it, and the satisfaction of an enterprise diminishes incredibly, such as we see every day at the By-Pass 4 interchanges created by monsters of Marxism and their bureaucratic plots of doom.  It’s good to live a little dangerously; it makes you a better and much happier person.

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 Strategy of Making People Look Crazy: Or to drive them crazy in the process

There’s another arraignment at 9 AM on December 18th for Darbi Boddy, just for going to Lakota school board meetings as an elected representative.  You can see how ridiculous the case against her has been by Judge Lyon’s recent filing, trying to drive the point further for his client Isaac Adi from any public criticism, which is utterly ridiculous.  The first arraignment was to have occurred just after Thanksgiving 2023, but the judge, as all judges in Butler County, would have to because of the power of Isaac’s attorney, who is a long-standing common pleas judge, had to be delayed.  The Ohio Supreme Court then had to appoint a neutral judge.  So, of course, we are dealing with legal gymnastics that assumes that an abuse of legal authority comes by hiring a judge to process a case in which we are to believe that Darbi Boddy is such a threat to the Lakota school board that Isaac is terrified and is seeking help from the courts.  As ridiculous as all that is, Darbi is facing a potential of 6 months in jail and in the thousands of dollars in fines, not to mention the extraordinary legal fees.  Darbi’s first attorney has stepped aside and now there is a new one as this case continues to drag on for what would appear to be frivolous reasons on the surface.  But I’ve seen this tactic before, and it has a deeper meaning, as dumb as that reason might be.  It’s a strategy I have seen happen to men and women over many decades, primarily women.  I’m surprised Judge Lyons would participate as he has spent time around me and shown interest in constitutional individualism.  But then again, there are many like him over the years who have simply wanted to fit in, and in the dark places of their minds, resent individualists like Darbi Boddy so much, that they turn to the mechanisms of collectivism to exert a social control that drew them to the acquisition of power in the first place. 

There is nothing about the Darbi Boddy case that is legally correct, it’s a clear abuse of authority that started with attorneys for Lakota schools pulling the strings behind the scenes to get rid of Darbi as a school board member, for lots of reasons.  Most involve having a puppet school board easily controlled for upcoming labor negotiations with the teacher’s union.  Darbi, like President Trump, is a threat to that old order. Her prosecution is a clear message not to mess with these public unions, judges’ networks of brotherhoods, and bar associations.  There is a reason that weak people seek comfort in brotherhoods; it’s for the power they feel they can only get from group assimilation.  So what we have going on all over the country, especially at Lakota schools, is individualism against collectivism and the merits of those philosophies to public government.  But this didn’t all start with Darbi in 2023; this action against her is a common strategy and has occurred frequently over the years. It has occurred in over 20 women I have known.  Many started just like Darbi Boddy, young and in their 40s, raising children, attending church, finding the world’s evils repugnant, and wanting to do something about it.  But in the process of the fight against that system, the common strategy of collectively based villainous characters is to attempt to capture the definition of sanity and use it to make their opponents look insane or to drive them insane with the audacity of evil that is presented to them.  So far, Darbi Boddy has held up well over the last few years.  But adding all this up over a decade or two takes its toll, and the results are usually terrible.

I don’t think she would mind, but I normally keep these things quiet; I would call Judge Edelsten a friend, she is the person who had trouble in the Butler County courts that involved lots of legal issues with many of the same judges that are involved in the Darbi Boddy case, which is why she comes to my mind.  And she won her cases, just as Darbi should win all of hers.  But the cost to her has been enormous, and the system participants have built it that way.  The best way to explain what happens to these women, again men too, such as Roger Reynolds, the former auditor of Butler County, or Thomas Hall, the current Representative in Ohio, is that there is a network that protects itself from vivacious characters that drew them to power in the first place.  But specifically with women, some of them are now in their 70s and have been fighting the same corruption for over thirty years, and it wears them out.  They end up with their kids grown and hateful; their husbands usually end up running off with other women, women who are less politically active and much easier to make happy, and they end up alone, bitter, and angry.  And people like these Butler County judges know that their cases have little legal merit, but their control over the law can drive people crazy.  A good example would be when a man is looking to cheat on his wife with another woman, and he attempts to portray the effort by telling everyone how crazy his wife is so that he can justify the abandonment of his marital vows.  When collectivists attack individuals, they always turn toward manipulating public opinion so they can show themselves as the victim, which is the entire legal strategy behind the Darbi Boddy legal cases.  It’s the system looking to divorce Darbi by making her look like the crazy wife.  And if she’s not crazy today, fighting a corrupt system might make her and her friends turn out that way.

That’s not to say that fighting back against the system is a worthless gesture.  I would point to what’s happening in American politics with Trump against the never-Trumper movement as an example of this behavior over many years catching up to them.  Sure, there have been a lot of casualties. Some of the women I mentioned are now very bitter old ladies who never tasted justice even though technically they won in court.  The sheer evil of the systems they fight rots them from the inside out.  But along the way, the exposure of this vast evil has turned the public against it.  So, no matter how far down the well the Butler County courts attempt to attach themselves to yet another example of judicial activism to take out a political opponent using a corrupt court system to do it, the public is turning away from those kinds of abuses of power, because they are tired of it.  They see what has been going on all along.  I tell those older women that I’m thinking of, as their kids have grown up, to hate them for their crusades of justice, and for what, to eventually win a victory in the court of public opinion several decades later, that it was all worth it.  Their men would have left them for younger women anyway.  And kids often must learn life lessons from the totality of a life, not just the little kid years where a mom was a good mom because they gave them a popsicle from the freezer while watching their favorite show on television.  As Darbi Boddy is experiencing in real-time, most collective-based organizations, whether it’s the Lakota school board, the local attorneys, the judges, the political RINOs, or the Freemasonry network, that all the people join those memberships to gain power over their fear of individual merit.  Which is the root cause of much of what’s wrong in the world.  And in the end, the victory is worth it.  Even if it costs a lot to get there.
