Likely the same polling firm that thinks Donald Trump’s approval numbers are below 40% is the one that advised the FBI that there was no public interest in revealing the files they had on the former presidential candidate and government thug—Hillary Clinton. Because the FBI isn’t p of the Oval Office, and that they were hedging their bets for their own self-interest. We now know that James Comey purposely let Hillary Clinton off the hook during the email investigation to release those files citing a lack of ‘public interest.’ Well, everyone I know wants to see how the FBI colluded with the Clinton campaign to shut down the investigation into her email scandal—and let’s face it, that is the real reason that government investigative agency is hiding the information—because its embarrassing to them. They never conceived that Donald Trump would end up president and figured Hillary would be the next occupant in the White House so they altered their investigation into her handling of classified data—which was very important at the time since she was seeking a job for the American people who required great handling of classified information. In many ways thinking by means of competency—not criminally—the FBI investigation was supposed to show that she had problems and if the Democratic Party had listened, they would have still had time to try out another candidate. Instead, the villains of the system collaborated to unleash a massive conspiracy that was completely unnecessary only to arrive at this slow leak of detrimental information.
This information is detrimental because it shows that the FBI cannot be trusted—which many of us suspected. But all this just confirms the truth, which is disappointing. Regardless of their apprehension to release those files on Hillary Clinton Wikileaks has promised to release them anyway, so the public will likely get a chance to see them for themselves—and that will really be embarrassing for the FBI. What’s even worse is that given what we know now about the Trump presidency it is very obvious that the leaks which have emerged trying to derail his efforts have come from our intelligence agency—because the behavior of the FBI shows a much more systemic problem that umbrellas out over all government agencies supposedly doing work for the American people.
In many ways, this doesn’t surprise me and I wish it did. People often refer to James Comey as a Boy Scout with honesty to match and that reference has always bothered me because I know all too well what that likely means perception wise. I don’t talk about it much but the primary reason I write on this site every day is because I grew up loving westerns and part of me always wanted to be a sheriff when I grew up. I am actually too ambitious to limit myself to law and order because those things are defined usually by the efforts of politicians, which I think are half-baked people to begin with. While I enjoy simple people like Sheriff Joe Arpaio who live modestly and honestly, I always knew I wanted a more complex and dynamic life. But to satisfy my law and order side, I write so I can live the rest of the parts of my life the way I want. What sealed the deal for me was long ago when I was a prominent member in the Explorer’s community—which was an off-shoot of the Boy Scouts for older kids. I was in a high adventure group which was designed to train kids for occupations that involved “high adventure” like mountain climbing, global exploration and park services. But most Explorer Post groups were to train young people for fire fighting and police work.
Each year we had competitions at a camp just outside Loveland along the Little Miami River where all the Cincinnati area explorer posts competed with each other in various events, like obstacle courses, tug of wars, soft ball tournaments and other activities. We all showed up and camped in our respective areas and would compete and socialize for the entire weekend. I found the people in the fire and police Explorer Posts to be repugnant. They were power-hungry people—all of them—from the leadership down to the 13-year-old kids who wanted to grow up to be a police officer. They were not the good people who our society needed to believe them to be. I always understood that law enforcement was a necessary element to our society, but the people attracted to it tended to be insecure by nature and craving the power of the badge or they were using the role of the job to keep from themselves a tendency toward villainy. I learned a lot about people attracted to the law enforcement profession from my days in the Explorer Post and the impression was not a very high one.
Once I learned what type of people I was dealing with I had a lot of fun working their natures against themselves and the competitions during those summer months were pretty fierce. I took that feedback from them with me to the rest of my life. I understand the need for law enforcement but I don’t feel a need to salute them whenever I see them. They get paid to do a job, but they certainly aren’t gods on earth. They are extensions of our politicians and I don’t have a very high impression of them either, so it comes to no surprise to me at all to learn that the CIA, the FBI, Homeland Security, and the NSA are filled with perverts, losers and power-hungry despots who craved those occupations not because they wanted to become the next Elliot Ness—but because they were fighting in their own natures the tendency to become Frank Nitti. Given the opportunity most people in law enforcement are too tempted to use the privileges to power that they have to act responsibly, and they are prone to bribery and political persuasion if they think doing such a thing will advance their cause.
James Comey broke the law by not prosecuting Hillary Clinton so to preserve her run for president. When she lost Comey and the intelligence community sought actively to undermine the White House of Donald Trump—right out of the gate. They hardly attempted to hide their hostility. And the reason the FBI refuses to let people see the Clinton files isn’t because of some poll. It is because they are guilty of crimes and they fear the retaliation from the public if the truth gets out. It would be foolish to believe that they are not corrupt because they work in service as law enforcement officials. They are more likely to be guilty of such things than most people in general. I/m not saying we need to throw the baby out with the bathwater, but we do need to always be cautious when dealing with them. Always keep your eye on their gun, because they are more than willing to use it—and it doesn’t matter what color you are. They love authority in law enforcement and will abuse it in a New York minute. Especially if they think they can get something out of it. The FBI obviously thought they were getting something out of Hillary—so they lied and hid the truth. And those files tell us so—which is why they don’t want us to see them.
I was watching Star Wars with my grand-kids the other day while catching up on some news in the print media and I noticed that the big spender Joan Powell from the Lakota school board was seeking a seat on the West Chester Board of Trustees. I was astonished that she’d come out of retirement to run for such an important seat, and given her track record even desired to put herself up to the scrutiny of public office. But it’s her life, and she asked for it—because there’s a lot to pick on when it comes to Joan Powell. That’s when I looked up to watch the movie again and thought it was astonishing how much she reminded me of the Star Wars character Jabba the Hutt—the vile gangster and villain from the old child targeted story about good and evil. I know Joan better than most people do and I remember how she ran the Lakota school system like a thuggish gangster for the teacher’s union complete with back room deals and a tax and spend philosophy that was as maniacal as any liberal in America. I know because I was part of a deal she was a part of way back in 2013 when a report at the following link came out showing that Lakota had declining enrollment and didn’t need a tax increase. Yet Joan the Hutt pushed for one anyway to give pay raises to the public employees she was supposed to be managing before she retired. Read that report here. The important parts of the report have been highlighted in yellow on pages 1 and 16:
Watch this little clip from Star Wars showing Jabba the Hutt making deals and trying to destroy her rivals. Hutts in Star Wars are hermaphroditic so the female designation is appropriate in comparing the fictional villain from Star Wars to the real life con artist from Lakota.
Now watch this anti-Trump ad that Joan Powell the Hutt did for Hillary Clinton during last year’s presidential campaign. Take away the flowers and the references to grandchildren, can you tell any difference? I can’t.
For context let’s go back to 2012, a group I was running with several other people called No Lakota Levy had successfully defeated several of the tax increases that Joan the Hutt tried to implement from 2005 all the way up to that point in time. The teacher’s union was Joan the Hutt’s network and they wanted a pay increase. The Lakota school board had to get a tax increase passed to appease those government employees and they weren’t going to do that so long as I was the face of No Lakota Levy. Joan orchestrated through her vast network of media contacts and feminist groups a hit job against me, not much different from when Jabba set a trap for Luke Skywalker to fall into the Rancor pit to be eaten alive. Only in real life the terrible beast I had to fight was a bunch of tax levy supporters who were part of a vicious tax and spend cult ran by Joan the Hutt. Like the fictional movie, metaphorically, the same result occurred. I ended up in a blistering exposé meant to destroy me in every way possible because of my involvement with No Lakota Levy. Joan wanted to remove me from the political scene so that they could pass a levy at Lakota. Some members of my group sided with Joan the Hutt but little to their dismay I was more popular afterwards than before. People appreciated that I stuck to my guns to defend them from the vile clutches of this West Chester liberal and her legions of tax levy supporters. In spite of the extremely negative press, the Joan Powell led school board knew they couldn’t get a levy passed with my name in the papers every day so they had to try something new.
Behind the scenes Joan the Hutt wanted to make a deal with me using school board members I had been supporting and members of the No Lakota Levy group. She wanted to negotiate a two-year ceasefire on the levy fight. I thought that was a good idea so I did my part of the deal which was to not campaign against Lakota for that two-year period of time and Joan the Hutt wouldn’t attempt another tax increase. Meanwhile Joan the Hutt and her legions of levy supporters went hard to work paving the way for a community consensus on a tax increase hiring a progressive firm to go around and soften up the voters for another levy attempt which shouldn’t have taken place until 2014. Taking only one year off from the levy fight Lakota went for another levy in 2013 knowing that if that report referenced above got out to the public that people would never support a tax increase. So they broke their deal with me and went for their raises for the teacher’s union in fall of 2013.
Joan the Hutt by that time had split up the No Lakota Levy group the same way she tried to split up Republicans over Donald Trump in favor of crooked Hillary Clinton so the tax increase just barely passed. Joan the Hutt knew that if my group had stayed together that she would have never won so she used all the levers of power to do whatever she had to do—including destroying me if possible—to give her public employees a pay raise when it was clear from the report that Lakota needed to actually cut teachers—not giving them a pay increase. Joan the Hutt has shown on many occasions that she can have a propensity toward vile conduct to achieve her tax and spend desires and to my experience what she did at Lakota was no different from what a gangster might do for a criminal enterprise. The double-dealing, the vicious use of legions of blood thirsty supporters and a facade of a serene grandmother to hide it all when reality indicated a vile underground network of thugs for which she was the leader.
West Chester under the guidance of Mark Welch and George Lang have produced budget surpluses and low taxation for many years now leading to an economic boom that has been unique to similar areas around the country seeing much slower growth. But with such great numbers come the thieves and bandits who want a free ride and to seize that growing wealth so they can pass it out to their criminal underworld. There is a third trustee at West Chester named Lee Wong who you will find often trying to get a free meal who needs a partner in crime in West Chester to get a needed second vote to plunge the community into chaos. Lee wants to pass those surpluses produced into that public sector underworld for which Joan the Hutt has such a vast network. You might have heard of Lee’s name before as it is often associated with scandal and treason such as the efforts he committed himself to recently in defending a woman fired from her job for giving secrets to China. People on his side think Lee’s a hero for standing up for a public sector worker, Republicans see an alarming trend in Lee that he seems always associated with scandal and bad decisions rooted in Democratic behavior hidden behind a mask of conservatives that he knows he needs to even attempt to win any office in Butler County. Like most public employees what Lee shares with Joan is a love for attention, taking money from those who have it and giving it to people in their inner circles of power to keep them loyal and close. Those two see an opportunity to have a two vote count in West Chester to get control of the surpluses that have been produced by good management so that they can expand their bases of power—just like gangsters do.
The thing to do would be to keep Joan the Hutt out of office and send her back to her supposedly quit life for which she indicated in her pro Hillary Clinton commercial. The experiences I have provided are just one example of the way she operates as a person and you have to wonder about someone like her who desires to get her hands on the levers of power to even run for such an office. But for people who just can’t help themselves the good efforts of Mark Welch and George Lang are too attractive to avoid. For people like Joan and Lee those surpluses are ways to make friends and obtain more free meals around town, to get a respect they can’t give themselves through merit based work. George and Mark are privately successful so their roles as trustees have been about as pure as anyone could hope politicians to be—and that is why West Chester has been successful now for a period of years. The criminals who want a few more friends and a way to expand their influence can’t help but want to put their teeth into that surplus to work their maniacal plans for government expansion and double-dealing drama for which their naturally corrupt minds can’t avoid. Yes, Joan the Hutt is back and she wants to be fed a steady stream of tax money to sustain her big dreams of a vast syndicate of liberalized activism hidden behind a mask of Republican Party affiliation. Those kinds of things can be difficult to see in reality when people shake hands, but when you watch fantasy films geared toward children, like Star Wars, it’s easy to see that in West Chester we have our own version of the popular villain Jabba the Hutt. And she wants to become a trustee in 2017.
Oh, and in that last video, do you know why dear reader that Lakota didn’t go for that levy in 2017? Because Joan the Hutt retired from the school board. Miraculously after she left the board, Lakota’s finances were straightened out. Just keep that in mind when voting in November.
To understand the situation that we see today you’d have to go back nearly a decade to when I was fighting school levies and the evils of public education on radio stations and television to a great effect. Now my warnings have come to fruition, many of those kids who were in grade school back then getting openly socialist propaganda in their K-8 classes are now in their twenties ripping down historic monuments and joining forces with communists across the world to continue the efforts of Karl Marx. It was in fact really the third decade of that kind of public education crises when I was sounding off the alarm bells—but each year has gotten worse leaving our next generation children to be mush minded losers largely due to the broken home situation that they have had outside of the school and open socialist indoctrination at the government institutions of learning. They really had no chance. And now that Trump is president they are attempting to overthrow his administration with all the tactics learned in that little, easy to read book, The Communist Manifestro. Check out these links to see what kind of activity is brewing in my home state of Ohio. You can bet that the same kind of behavior is going on across the nation and were fully in place ahead of the Charlottesville catastrophe—which was induced on all sides by radical leftists. The “alt-right” were leftists well to the side of socialism and not even on the scale of American conservatism. Then of course were the open socialists and communists of the Black Lives Matter group and the group called ANTIFA which was just another rendition of the “Occupy” anarchists who are about as far left on the social spectrum as you can get. These are the people organizing future upheavals in my state as they seek to end the Trump presidency. You can read their strategies at these sites.
I thought it was funny to see my old rivals at ProgressOhio reveal their intentions so openly, and desperate. I haven’t heard from them in a while and had been wondering what they were up to. Their vision of the Tea Party movement is pretty funny and based completely on ignorance. I was a very active member of various Tea Party movements in the Cincinnati area from 2009 to 2014. I kept myself on the edges which is how I normally deal with group behavior—but I was certainly very intimate as a functioning leader in the freedom movement for quite a long time. I know how the Tea Party won and changed politics pushing out people like John Boehner and John Kasich from power and replacing them with people like Trump. Once it looked like people such as Donald Trump, Scott Walker and Ted Cruz were going to run for president in 2015 most of us in the Tea Party movement picked our guy and we broke off to help whoever it was which is why my activity declined in 2014. I picked Trump and went hard to work for his campaign. And now I am quite happy that he is president. I worked very hard to get him there, just as he worked very hard to get elected and the concerns I wanted to see addressed he is currently dealing with. However, if any of these Progress Ohio, ANTIFA losers think that I’m going to let them destroy a presidency I worked hard to help put in place—they have another thing coming.
Here’s the deal as I see it—which should have considerable weight considering my history—the biggest difference between the Tea Party movement and these various personifications of ANTIFA is that our efforts were based on education. The socialist radicals are based on threats and intimidation behind group assimilation. If you check their strategy on those above links they think that the Tea Party was successful because of their mass organizations—which were actually few and far between. The real work happened at Tea Party meetings where good people offered classes on the Constitution and on the Founding Fathers so that those people would be better voters who could see through the media circus and elect proper people in the Republican Party and wrestle away the progressive influences from what was. It took a few years but the trajectory of success was obvious and it was all based on educating people to be more informed voters. We weren’t threatening to rip down statues. We never tried to assassinate president Obama or even alluded to it. When the IRS came after us—and I was personally targeted by this because of my relationship with the Liberty Township Tea Party—we didn’t storm Washington or stand outside vandalizing Lois Lerner’s house—we fought them in court and at the ballot boxes. We had a heck of a fight in the 2016 primaries. My guy Trump won, and eventually most everyone got behind him and here we are—doing what we planned a decade ago—and doing so quite effectively.
What’s missing from the plans of ProgressOhio and all the other Ohio based progressive activist groups is education. Sure they are trying to study now how the Tea Party was so successful and they’ll try to copy it—but they won’t be able to because all they have is the threat of violence to advocate their position and people aren’t going to put up with that any more. Let me tell you that much. These liberal groups cannot compete on the battlefield of ideas. They cannot do three hours of radio in the middle of the day and attract 15 million listeners because their political philosophy is old and crusty—and un-American. It might fly in Europe but that’s not saying much because Europe is crumbling away with economic rot. No sane mind in America is going to sign up for that socialist garbage except for kids coming out of high school with a communist education who don’t yet know any better. Socialism is boring and is a philosophy for the lazy which makes it really difficult for people in Progress Ohio to recruit anything but idiots to their cause because the smart people are either working or put their efforts behind the Tea Party. Lazy people don’t have the energy to perform the kind of education it takes to change people’s minds at the voting booth like the Tea Party did.
And that’s the real problem that all the leftist groups have. The people in their organizations are stupid, lazy and impatient. They don’t have a sense of history or of personal values which is why if a group like ProgressOhio tried to educate voters the way the Tea Party did their members would likely become conservatives by default once they had knowledge. The political left relies on emotion and stupidity to survive where the Tea Party was about knowledge and thoughtfulness. Before each meeting there was a prayer and always the meetings were geared toward knowledge—not telling people how to think but in letting them learn on their own. It was that knowledge that led to the 3 to 4% swing in voting patterns within the GOP which has evoked so much change—not just in electing Republicans, but in determining the kind of Republicans which get elected.
The political left which is the foundation of ANTIFA and Black Lives Matter are progressives looking for socialism and in order for that to work people need to be stupid. Pubic education has been successful in turning off the minds of our youth. Most of them are complete idiots by the time they are adults. But when they learn—if they learn—they become Republicans which is why they will never succeed. For Progress Ohio to work their supporters need to use rioting to scare people into submission because they can’t win an intellectual debate. And if they can’t win a debate, they can’t get elected. Nobody is going to vote for a bunch of thugs—which is their strategy. It worked for years under the umbrella of union membership but that mask has been pulled off now. They are exposed for all their ugliness and this will hurt them on serious matters. Sure, there will always be two or three hundred stupid degenerates who will stand outside of a congressional office and call Republicans “Nazis” but what are they offering by way of knowledge to help voters see their side of the story—except—“we’re going to burn down your house, rape your wives and key your car until you see things our way?” That is the difference between the Tea Party and ANTIFA. The Tea Party read books, they taught each other things and pursued an intellectual approach that changed the dynamics of politics. All ANTIFA has are drug addicts, losers, video gamers who want socialism so they can sit on their fat assess all day playing Xbox, and mentally challenged fools vacant of intellectual curiosity. That is not a winning formula and they will lose miserably in the months to come.
As if Donald Trump didn’t already have my support as President of the United States he certainly solidified it on August 15, 2017 during that now famous press conference at Trump Tower. After seven years of writing on this blog almost every day over that entire time publishing millions and millions of words—for free—because I passionately want to see problems fixed—FINALLY we have someone in the White House who gets it. Trump understands the situation clearly and he can articulate it. He has no problem taking on any one any time any where taking on entire ominous institutions in the process. I’ve had a taste of walking in Trump’s shoes and I can relate to how tough it is to be him and face reporters who are hostile agenda driven maniacs that own the media and the public perception of you. I know how hard it is to convince other people in your political party to stand up for what’s right and not to bite on the Saul Alinsky tactics and for many, many decades I have frustratingly preached and waited for other people to get it—and finally I can see that Trump does. After the hounding he took from the media for two solid days after his comments about Charlottesville he arrived out of the elevator of the luxury building he created and pretty much flattened the media that greeted him there with an impromptu press conference that was just magnificent. If there was a bunch of garbage clogging the drain to the swamp Donald J. Trump yanked it out with this press conference so the muck could flow again.
I couldn’t have said any of that better myself. Trump hit all the high notes—the value of preserving historical monuments, the agenda of the press, a defense of his timeline, condemnation for all the sides involved because they were all out for no good. Trump did defend the moderates who weren’t parts of the white supremacists and the Black Lives Matter crowd. He praised the grieving mother of the young lady who was killed. He even promoted his winery that is in Charlottesville all in the same string of sentences. It was truly magnificent! Nobody could write a novel or a movie to capture this spiritual awakening that we are all undergoing through the Trump presidency. The exasperated looks on the faces of the news commentators and print media was priceless. Then to top all that off Trump put out a Tweet targeted at Jeff Bezos dodging taxes with his online store Amazon.com. The reason was because Bezos owns The Washington Post which has been a personal blog for the rival billionaire. Talk about hitting back ten times harder, Trump did it and I couldn’t be prouder of him. Not as a president of my country but as a fellow human being who is 70 years old and doing the right things for the entire human race.
Personally I like Amazon and Jeff Bezos, but I can understand where Trump is going. If I had to pick teams I’d pick Trump over Bezos any day but I always cheer for productive people. And Bezos is abusing The Washington Post to instill a progressive agenda that suits him in a global way that I’m not interested in. The battle that is currently taking place is like a plot from all my favorite stories all rolled up into one. It is Atlas Shrugged, The Fountainhead and War and Peace spread out on a grand scale that is much more interesting. As Trump gave his press conference news came that North Korea was backing down from their nuclear escalation threats which was yet again another victory for Trump—and for us all. When was the last time a president told some maniacal country like North Korea that they were going to get their ass kicked and they actually listened? Trump made it look easy—because in the hands of a competent person—it was relatively speaking.
The reason this was such a spectacularly relevant activity is because much of what Trump articulated is part of an unspecified menace that I have been covering for most of my adult life. I’ve always seen it clearly, but most people don’t, yet they suffer from it immeasurably. As I’ve referred, I have had my own experience with this kind of thing and have witnessed very powerful people buckle under this name calling pressure that the terrorist types on the political left have always used to advance their cause. Even though I know the tactics and have been personally unaffected by them the people around me have all too often fallen victim—and it always amazes me. In my situation I witnessed the movers and shakers of my community, and the leaders of the Republican Party be completely frozen by this exact technique that is being used now against Trump. In my case it was in calling me a sexist because a reporter strung together a bunch of things I had said in different places to paint a picture that provided a feeding frenzy to my political opponents. I had no problem with the massive social pressure that was unleashed on me, but what did surprise me was how quickly my partners distanced themselves from me like a bunch of wimps. I showed that I was willing to stand and fight doing whatever had to be done to win—in many cases on their behalf and they didn’t even have the courage to stand behind me. They only wanted to cave in and ask for peace because they thought that was the way for them to achieve a protection of their bottom line—in a business sense. I was truly shocked how cowardly they were in the face of just name-calling by those on the political left.
I said many times up to that point and many times since that the way to beat these crazy leftists is by hitting them harder than they hit you and letting them know that words and name-calling isn’t enough. Much to my surprise again, the masses just didn’t get it—those who were either business leaders or political leaders—or both. They felt they had too much to lose to fight such a fight so their tendency was always to surrender to the radicals in their communities. The reason was that they had something to lose while those seeking to destroy them had nothing to lose. I told a bunch of them at dinner one night this cause and effect in a way I felt they could understand what was happening to them. It was a nice dinner and I had a captive audience, so I said, “say you are a responsible husband and you work hard to provide for your family and are busy late into the night everyday during your income building years. Your wife gets a little bored and wants attention and along comes some devil-may-care rock n roller who travels from town to town and meets your wife at the grocery where she thinks—this would be an exciting adventure. So she starts seeing this guy while you’re off kicking ass making money. You are busy building a life and you have a lot to lose. But this little punk, the rock n roller, he has nothing to lose, only things to gain. So in the relationship with your wife—he has the natural advantage leaving you vulnerable to her. Now you could divorce her, but then she’s going to get half of everything you’ve worked so hard for—and everything you’ve put into her will be lost also making the relationship a terrible waste of time. So what do you do? The tempting thing to do would be to ask the guy to leave you and your wife alone and hope that he respects you enough to comply. But if he doesn’t then it might pay to actually find a way to appease him so you can have your life back. That is what the political left do to Republicans. That is how they continue to beat conservatives time and time again. They have nothing to lose and we always have all the assets because we work hard and save our money, living our lives in a way that is always vulnerable to insurgents who might want to steal off our efforts.”
They liked the story. We were all at Jags having a nice steak and the waitress was filling our glasses next to the fireplace as the snow fell outside, so I continued, “I’ve learned in my life, very early on, that the best way to get rid of guys like that is to—well–get rid of guy like that. Make sure there is no way to trace him back to you when you do get rid of him. Don’t give him what he wants. Just erase him from the earth—and remember, he asked for it—right? After all, you didn’t ask the little bastard to come into your life and threaten your well-being. He did on his own accord in spite of the warnings, so you have to take care of that situation swiftly, and boldly. That’s always how I function. You can’t play patty cake with those types of people. And if you give in to them they’ll be back next week asking for not only your wife, but your daughter—your car, and your guns. You can’t take a pacifist stance on those types of people and those are who make up the political left—hippies, rock and rollers, drug addicts, college professors, anarchists, race baiters, moochers of every kind—just degenerate personalities who have nothing to lose and only to gain by taking something from you because you work hard and have things of value. They are degenerates who function from a vast evil of collectivist philosophy and there is no reasoning with them. The conservative philosophy that I function by and that is emerging with Trump as president expects to win. We don’t do white flags of surrender like John Kasich, Rob Portman and Mitch McConnell.
Trump did well to stand against the tide and not to back down. He knows at least that people like me are out there supporting him and I know I’m not the only one. Trump doesn’t get to see those people very often so much of what he’s doing he is doing it without the benefit of light to help him. That makes all this that much better. And I couldn’t be more proud. Trump is doing what he is, things are changing forever. We will always look back on these times and say that this is where things changed. We went from a liberal society controlled by these terrorists through name-calling to a society that began to stick up for itself following the example of Trump—and it’s about time. I am more proud than ever to call Trump my American president. It takes a lot of guts to do what he’s doing and even more not to complain about it. For that I am very grateful. I’d be happy to do it if someone like him didn’t come along—but I’m very happy he did. It gives me faith that the human race might not be so bad after all.
It took me a couple of days to get my mind around the extreme hypocrisy on full display in the wake of the Charlottesville racism issue in Virginia. I thought Donald Trump did a great job of addressing the nation just a few hours after violence broke out between the usual Black Live Matter communists and the Nazi socialists fighting over the removal a Robert E. Lee statue in that extremely liberal town. At the time that Trump spoke he kept his statements general because after lunch on a Saturday afternoon it wasn’t yet known who ran over whom. Was it the same ol’ radicals from Ferguson and Baltimore—or was it the skin heads, and Nazi fascists? Trump couldn’t have been sure until much later and it was at that point that even Republicans were criticizing the president for not specifically identifying the white nationalists—as if he were associated with them. It truly was an amazing display of evil—not in the violence at Charlottesville which was despicable in and of itself—but in the mass volume of the media propensity to advance a false plot against Trump that was truly vile. Wasn’t it just a few weeks ago where a Bernie Sanders supporter shot up a bunch of Republicans at a baseball game, and a few months ago where Kathy Griffin held up the bloody severed head of a fake Donald Trump—and Snoop Dogg put out a video showing the mock assassination of our new president? What we all witnessed in the wake of Charlottesville was a new kind of evil which was much more sinister than the kid who ran into a mob of communist radicals in a clash of leftist maniacs gone wild.
Again I was very proud of Donald Trump—he did all the right things at all the right times during the crises and the people who came out in criticism against him are the people who are protecting the swamp we are all trying to drain. If you wanted to root out the Never Trump types who are holding up legislation in congress to prevent the President’s agenda from being implemented then just listen to those who criticized Trump so quickly. They had an agenda against Trump and they used the death and injury of people at this tragic protest as a way to advance their selfish agenda.
There were many times in just the past eight years that Barack Obama took many days to respond to a tragedy on the scale of Charlottesville and when he did he often didn’t come close to providing an adequate statement. The media, even the conservative media, never went this crazy over anything any previous president has said on a national stage. This attitude against Trump is a whole new category of hate revealed through a swarm of aggression born from sheer evil. It was a truly magnificent display of pure malevolence.
Made additional remarks on Charlottesville and realize once again that the #Fake News Media will never be satisfied…truly bad people!
Trump revised his statement on Monday, August 14th to include all the white supremacy groups that the media had been criticizing him for not specifying. I didn’t think he should have done so—he should have just let his Saturday statement stand. After all, he addressed the real issue correctly the first time and nothing he could or would say would matter. These parasites were going to use anything he said as a way to attempt to paint him into a corner. The media and many of the Never Trumpers who lost to Trump during the 2016 campaign wanted to pin the president to white supremacy as their last-ditch effort to stop the movement which elected him.
The “alt-right” movement is not what makes up the Trump campaign. White supremacists, Nazis, and the KKK radicals are all leftovers of southern Democrats and it is true that Hitler took notes from these people to advance his purge of Europe of people he didn’t want in his pure German society. The people gathered in Charlottesville were all aspects of liberalism, the Black Lives Matters people were the hard-core communists while the Nazis were the socialists and the media framed them in their coverage as the extreme right and extreme left as if we all lived somewhere in between. In that way they attempt to put us all into some crazy fringe of leftist radicalism and by default we must then defend our innocence from being too close to either of those fringe groups. But, in reality, most of us are nowhere even near thinking like those two sides of the same idiotic coin.
There is no right answer/response only a moving goal line that can never be reached.
Trump showed leadership early in the crises and it was a positive effort—in a sane world. But we are not living in a sane world. We are dealing with an evil that hides behind the pain and suffering of others to an extremity that is baffling to normal people. It baffled me to see that evil so alive and desperate as they thought they had Trump pinned up against the ropes over doing what was expected of him during a crises. Trump didn’t say anything wrong. The skin heads, the communists, the people who wanted to take down the Robert E. Lee statue, the Mayor of Charlottesville, the Nazi lovers all the leftist losers who were in those city streets ready to fight for varying degrees of leftist philosophy were present to do damage and hurt others. Trump had to be general in his statements given the level of evil present in Charlottesville. Trump did the right thing—the media showed their real game plan perhaps too audaciously.
I’ve referred to it before but there is a wonderful scene from a great Akira Kurosawa film called Dreams where there are three mountain climbers caught in a snow storm high in the Himalayas. They’ve lost their base camp in the storm and were dying in the extreme cold. The leader found himself seduced by a beautiful ghost who came to his side to ease him into death. She sings him to sleep gently and seductively pushing him into death. But, being the leader that he was, he decides to fight back and once the ghost realizes that she’s not going to get her way, she turns into a skeleton and screams angrily at the leader then vanishes into oblivion. Once gone, the storm clears and the leader is able to wake up his friends saving them from death as well. As the sun came back out they realized that their base camp was always only about 20 feet away the whole time. While they had only moments before been ready to die out of desperation, now they saw clearly that they were always so close to safety—but couldn’t see it for the chaos. That is what we see happening, the demons of our lives are hiding in this chaos and now they have been exposed and are screaming out pain that they cannot get us to follow them to our death. And in the aftermath of Charlottesville we will also see all along our base camp has always been right next to us. When we do, as it’s being revealed right now, we will learn that it was never in between the communists and socialists but in the warm bed of conservatism which exists well to the right of the skin heads and Nazis. That is where America lives and that is what Trump represents in our great republic, for which we stand.
The ironic thing is both groups are from the Democrats. Nazis, white supremacy, and communists are all out of the political left. https://t.co/5dC0h44jFx
This would be a good time to tell everyone to go out and read Dinesh D’Souza’s book The Big Lie—because it explains the terrible tragedy that has taken place in Charlottesville, Virginia quite well. Before I explain why, think about what’s happening. Liberals in that college town want to take down the long-standing statue of Robert E. Lee provoking a radical group of white supremacists to arrive with torches to defend it. The next day the progressive advocates and communists behind the Black Lives Matter movement clashed with the socialist nationalists into a violent exchanged that killed several peopleand injured many others. Shocked reporters on the scene described the engagement as a clash between the extreme left wingers and right wingers of our country and that is where they’d be wrong. They just don’t know their history and misreported the situation in an embarrassing way. But one has to ask, what did these leftist think was going to happen—they have been attacking white culture for a long time now and these people who still cling to the Civil War to articulate their social philosophy are tired of getting pushed around—so a fight ensued. However I’d argue that the fight was caused by ignorance because they are all wrong about the state of history and if they knew better could have avoided a conflict all together. When a fight gets this bad it’s because intelligence has left the arena and emotion is all that is left to govern.
Calling white supremacists “right wingers” is an incorrect term because I am a serious conservative and their values don’t even come close to my viewpoints. They are all to the political left of me and it is the very good research conducted by Dinesh D’Souza which explains it to people who do not know their history very well. Apparently the reporters on the scene in Charlottesville need an education and they should read Dinesh’s books. Last summer during the presidential campaign D’Souza released the film Hillary’s America which explored the Democratic Party’s foundation of the KKK which over time became the white supremacist movement. All of the hard-core Confederates during the Civil War were Democrats and racism in America was fully endorsed by the Democratic Party. Remember, it was Abraham Lincoln who stopped slavery—he was a Republican. The Democrats played that game until the 1960s where they attempted to rid themselves of that history and pass it off like a hot potato to the nice Christian Republicans who were too nice to give it back. Following the example of Christ Republicans took that burden of slave guilt on themselves in a hope to heal the nation even though they had never been guilty of that kind of behavior.
Meanwhile when Hitler wanted to unite Germany with his own supremacist movement he looked to the American Democrats as his model for how to go about it. It wasn’t Republicans who Hitler copied; it was Democrats who helped Hitler build the socialist party of Germany. So talking about the Trump presidency as if it represented the hard right is to completely misunderstand history. The idiots protesting in Charlottesville are all variations of the American left who founded the Nazi regime prior to World War II and who essentially cased the Civil War. When you put all those people on the streets of a liberal college town what did anybody think was going to happen? Nothing I saw surprised me.
The problem is that both sides of those various socialist philosophies have no connection to the average Trump voter in today’s politics which is why nobody in the so-called mainstream media understand what’s going on. The MSM is functioning from the wrong definitions for our modern events because they assume that the political “right” is these socialist losers who call themselves white supremacists. I don’t know anybody on the conservative side of things who think anything close to what the radicals in Charlottesville did to the extent where they were willing to kill people who wanted to take down a statue of Robert E. Lee.
Then there are the communist Black Lives Matters activists who continue to push the limits of assaulting police officers and imposing their aggressive tactics against “white America.” They have enjoyed openly pushing the tempers of parts of society that they think are against them wanting their own civil rights crusade—and they pushed things too fast and too aggressively in Charlottesville. Just as gay rights advocates love to push against social norms insulting Christian thinking people with great colorful audacity they asked for someone to smack them in the mouth by pushing emotional buttons of the other side. They were as much at fault in Charlottesville as the idiots who called themselves white supremacists.
Always in the wake of these tragedies people wonder what it will take to become all one country. I might say again, but I don’t think we’ve ever been “one country.” We may end up that way under a Trump presidency, but I can’t say that at any point in history we were “one country.” So what would it take to get there—well Democrats need to get their act together. All through their history they have been a disaster of criminal minded people who are always associated with socialists, communists and drug addicts with addictive personalities. They are a psychologically broken people who have inspired all the worst things we’ve seen in our country—from Nazi support to slavery. It was Democrats who wrote the playbook for violence connected to red flagged communism, black flag anarchy and swastika flagged Nazi supremacy. Traditional Republicans were not in Charlottesville, only radical groups connected to the Democratic Party where there to conduct the violence witnessed on August 12, 2017.
If you want respect you have to give it and going around the south expecting to take down Confederate monuments to prove a point isn’t going to lead to peace and civility. Stupid people don’t have much to believe in and when you take away everything they trust without replacing it with something positive you will push them to the brink quickly and that drove the neo-Nazi white nationalists from their hiding places and into a battle mode. Taking down General Lee’s statue to the people around the city of Charlottesville was a hostile act and the Black Lives Matters people knew it—so a fight broke out and people unfortunately died. But they weren’t from the radical right—both groups were aspects of the political left. They were in facts brothers of the same mother of a Democratic Party who gave birth to all the violence, only with different fathers. What we saw in Charlottesville was a bunch of Democrats doing what they always do—cause trouble due to their faulty political philosophy. And if anybody knew anything about history they’d understand it, and we could all take strides to solving the problem. The people who have the answers were not there—they are in the Republican Party and they typically go to church on Sunday. They tend to be employed, and raise nice families. Those were not the people who were at Charlottesville protesting. Yet it is they who have the answer how to further prevent the violence we saw. Somebody ought to be asking them—not the idiots who caused the trouble in the first place.
Don’t worry, my daughter is a concealed carry holder who routinely shoots in dangerous areas such as Over-the Rhine and in Chicago—so she knows how to handle dangerous situations. In these following photographs I didn’t worry about her. She did take her sister along on some of the shoots which was smart, but even though she knows the risks, she has enough experience to mitigate the impact of those risks with her knowledge of firearms. The thing I worry about more is the legal mess a young woman would get into after having to shoot someone in self-defense. She has the personal safety angle covered—the legal angle is the biggest concern for me. However, I hardly ever get to see my kids anymore because they are always out doing things like this. Professionally my oldest daughter Brooke has literally been booked for photo shoots every weekend and many week days lately and has a full schedule extending into 2019, and it keeps getting worse with bookings. She’s become a very good photographer in a very competitive field and now she is turning up her comfort zone into the very difficult field of astrophotography. As she shared her images obtained during the third week of July I knew she had done something very special and was headed in a direction that was putting a fine point on her professional uniqueness. To hear from her personally click on the video below or read her article about how she captured these really phenomenal images of the Milky Way in the night sky.
For people who have become victims of our horrible education system and our generally destructive trend socially to highlight stupidity as some badge of honor so not to make stupid people feel bad about themselves, the Milky Way is the galaxy that we live within through the vastness of space. We are loaded on a spiral arm of star clusters spinning around a massive black hole which is at the center of it. So to capture the perspective of that arm in the night sky is quite an intense feat of light, focus and natural environmental conditions. It is not an easy thing to do so it makes me very proud to see my daughter attempting to do just that.
My kid is not yet 30-years-old and while her peers are out making fools of themselves partying it up like a bunch of idiots—she’s out doing things like this in her spare time which is increasingly happening after long days of professional endeavor between photo shoots. If you watched the video you can understand why I couldn’t be prouder of her—listen to her speak. It’s like listening to a fine symphony of music to hear her utter complete sentences and using a nice vocabulary coming out of the mouth of such a nice young lady. If she weren’t my daughter I’d be extremely impressed. However, she is my daughter and I know what she has pushed herself through to arrive at this level of professionalism—but it’s still nice to take a moment to consider how magnificent she really is as a person. She’s a pace setter and she’s emerging as a very unique photographer in a field of professionals who have been doing it for years and are quite good. What’s giving her the advantage isn’t just the conceptual side—it’s the conceptual application that she naturally has mastered that is doing it. There are a lot of people in the world who know how to take a nice photograph. There are people professionally working in Hollywood as cinematographers who would greatly struggle with the light she was working with to capture these images. But it is how she sniffs out a photo from nowhere that is setting her apart from the crowd. In the world of tomorrow—which is literally getting nearer with every sunrise, Brooke is the photographer of her age to record the optimism of all that’s coming. Her playfulness at living comes out in her photographs and that is something you can’t teach. A person either develops this trait or it’s not there revealing only mechanical applications of a heartless artist.
Just as she said in her video, there is a lot of light noise in the night sky and so it is true as well in most professional fields. It doesn’t matter if the profession is acting, being a musician, business tycoon, or housewife; you have to work really hard to separate yourself from the noise of our society. Everyone is living their life and hopefully they all think of themselves as great and try to be the best that they can be every day. But as nature has it, not everyone can be the best so to put yourself above the fray, you have to work really hard and make it so that you are continuously pushing yourself. My daughter and I have had these long talks for many years so she understands what she needs to do, but it is always nice to see her doing it. Just as she had to drive hours out of the way to capture these photographs at just the right time of year and at the correct time of day—so too in life—you have to go further than other people and be willing to always push for that extra bit to get there to arrive at the definitions of success—because there is a lot of noise from people who try to be good at things from the rolled down windows of their cars.
I’ve showed Brooke a lot of movies over the years and she is well read and has been exposed to the finer things in life—so she has context on the details of what makes things—good. But I was surprised to learn that her favorite movie was Interstellar recently. That was the Christopher Nolan film that I wrote about several years ago which I drug my family to on an opening night because I thought it would have an impact on their lives. I’m glad it did, but it still surprised me that it was her favorite movie out of all the movies she’s been exposed to. She told me that recently in one of those rare moments where she and her husband were able to come home and have some dinner and watch a collection of political speeches about NASA, that it was Interstellar that most touched her and I just think that’s magnificent. You might have noticed that she inserted a song from the Hans Zimmer masterpiece musical score from that film on her article for context. When the first space stations open up to the public and hotels start popping up on the moon in a few years, I have no doubts that Brooke will be one of the first to be there. And that quite simply makes me very proud.
Most parents are proud of their kids—and that is mostly a selfish emotion. After all, who wants to raise children only to think they are pieces of crap? To think otherwise would be to concede to failure. So it’s not unusual for parents to be proud of their children mostly out of the necessity of justifying all the hard work that goes into the job. But when a child evolves into something that is uniquely defined and hungry for living life in their own endeavors it is something to celebrate. It just so happens that in Brooke’s case she is my kid and she has given me a lot to be proud of, and she’s just getting started. It makes me very proud that she speaks so articulately, that she is running around at 11:30 PM looking for the right light in a night sky for a perfect picture not for some magazine or other paid endeavor—but because she has a natural passion to do so. And it makes me proud that she’s not naive enough to do these things without being heavily armed to defend herself. The results of all those elements are showing up in her artistic endeavors and whether or not she was related to me, it’s a beautiful thing to witness.
I gave up on Glenn Beck a long time ago. The only time I listen to his show is when he puts on Bill O’Reilly during Friday broadcasts because I like to see how the former Fox News star is doing. But even with Bill, there are just things that he and Beck have always agreed on that just drove me nuts. And for the purpose of this article, their broadcast together on June 30th discussed everything I don’t like about either one of them. They just don’t understand the whole Trump tweeting thing. They don’t get the need to fight back and are looking to the presidency for some kind of aristocratic leadership that just doesn’t belong in the office. And as smart as they are both supposed to be, they seem to forget how we all got to the point where we are now in America—on the brink of a new civil war where both sides bitterly hate each other. They think its Donald Trump’s job to bring everyone together but they are wrong. One side needs to be destroyed while the other flourishes and that is essentially the end of the debate.
Well before there was ever a Trump in the White House the political left made a very calculated incursion on American lifestyles. To understand how dramatic that incursion of lefty philosophy was just watch any John Wayne movie from the Golden Age of Hollywood. The values reflected in those cowboy movies were what essentially made America great and many generations grew up with the essential ideas exhibited in our American westerns. Even if the audiences didn’t all want to grow up to be cowboys, a general understanding of right and wrong existed openly and we were clearly a better nation for it. It doesn’t have to be entertainment that displays this issue, lately I have been re-reading some of the books by M. Scott Peck—the psychiatrist from the 80s who wrote a bunch of New York Times Best Sellers along the lines of The Road Less Traveled series. It doesn’t seem that long ago to me, but to some it must be ancient history, the 80s were a very optimistic time in American history and if you read Peck’s books on psychiatry and the type of things that people were concerned with back then—then you could clearly trace a line from then to now to display how far we’ve all fallen as a civilization. And anybody with half a brain could tell you that the course we’re on cannot continue. Presently about half the nation sees that and to varying degrees wants to do something about it, and the other side is essentially hell=bent on their own destruction as well as everyone they know.
A lot of this change came from the political left and they were very aggressive about it. When I was a kid the Department of Education became the central authority figure in public schools and the changes were sharp and quite clear—my mother was a room mom who volunteered at my school for everything—and the other kids in my class soaked her up desperately for any attention she could give them. Even the meanest kids in my K-5 classes would melt to butter when she came to help with a Halloween party or a Christmas event. Some of those kids back then would tell me I was the luckiest kid in the world to have a mom that was waiting for me to get off school and spend time with me. I grew up in a traditional household that worked. My dad worked hard. My grandparents worked hard and everyone was very fiscally conservative—if they went out to eat—it was for a damn good reason. So I was a little shocked that so many kids—all of them in the 70s and into the 80s had busy parents who were gone from home and just weren’t there to do the essential parenting that the kids needed. Because I did have a traditional mom which was quite common just ten years earlier at home every day to talk to I had a front row seat to all this intellectual destruction that was going on.
My very first girlfriend—a real girlfriend who wanted to talk to me on the phone all the time was in the fifth grade. She was very cute and very popular. She was interested in me because it looked like I was going to be a star athlete so she was making her mark on the social ladder. Back then I rode a bicycle everywhere, even over vast miles of country roads. It drove my parents crazy but they let me do it because Liberty Township was a very sparsely populated area then and you could drive down the road without worrying about people running you over or stealing you as a kid. My parents let me ride over to her house to visit assuming there would be parental supervision—because they were naive about how far American culture had fallen themselves. I was shocked to find that this girl didn’t have any parents who were home and wouldn’t be for several hours. She didn’t have any brothers or sisters so she essentially took care of herself. In fact, the neighborhood she lived in was quite a progressive utopia—it was a new mode of thinking that was being introduced. It had a little community center called the White House where everyone gathered for social events which the parents spent a lot of their weekends using and all the kids were essentially growing up without parents. The parents were too busy at their jobs and the socializing in this neighborhood to properly raise their kids and it showed. I was stunned to discover that this cute little 5th grade girl was already having sex and that she had let most of the boys in her neighborhood experiment on her. From grade 4 to 5 she had gone from just play kissing to the real thing because really there wasn’t anything else for the kids to do. They were bored and lonely and puberty was just starting to kick in. We all had just learned about sex education in school so kids wanted to do it—and in that neighborhood they did.
My second girlfriend was in the sixth grade and she was a cute little thing who lived in another developing neighborhood. My parents were suspicious of her because the homes were Homearoma homes that were very expensive. She was a very smart little girl who I thought wouldn’t be near as wild as the first girlfriend. I was stunned to find out that she was even more sexually experienced. I couldn’t believe what she knew at such a young age—and like the first girlfriend, the parents were never home. But one time on the weekend I was invited over to a pool party that her parents were hosting for some of their favorite neighbors. So I rode my bike over there to attend only to find everyone in the back yard naked and skinny dipping in their pool—parents, neighbors, older brothers and of course my girlfriend. It wasn’t lost to me that a pattern of behavior was emerging—first of all my taste in girls—and the situations I continued to find myself in and they all had in common these crazy girls who were hungry for attention because their parents had effectively abandoned them as children. Using the power of sex, they were just learning how not to be alone—but the real problem was the parents adopting progressive lifestyles which had been placed socially over their value system. In fact in the previous neighborhood I later discovered that it was quite common for homes there to have “key parties” among the adults—so no wonder the kids were so sex obsessed. I decided that far back that I wasn’t playing. Even at my young age I had seen enough and knew I didn’t want any part of it—which I knew better because I had traditional older people in my life that I could speak to about these things so I was able to avoid getting sucked in. Every time I visited my grandparents on my mom’s side there was a John Wayne movie on and I’d watch them as a baseline of thought with my grandpa so I had a means of comparing the two value systems at a critical point in my life.
Now we’ve watched this situation get worse and worse every year since then. Kids growing up today don’t even have a point of reference from a previous time—for all they know it was always this messed up—the way we socially engage each other and the value systems that drive us. Many who have had the innocence of their childhoods robbed from them don’t know any better, and luckily there are enough people still alive in the world who remember the times before my childhood recollections where a loving parent was home to greet a child from school and they at least watched the Andy Griffin Show together. They have held on their entire lives to a different kind of America that changed under their feet and the people who have been doing the changing have crossed the line many times to push the agenda which people resent. For a long time due to the Christian nature of our country people minded their own business but the progressive incursions kept coming.
My wife and I are extremely unique these days to be doing what was once quite common in America—we raised our children traditionally. My wife does not have a job outside the home because it has always been her role to make sure all the kids have whatever they need. If they need to talk, she was always there and I made sure there was plenty of money in case the kids needed braces or a new saxophone for music class. If we were short on money then I worked more. There were times where we could only afford one car but at least there was always a parent around and now that they are all grown up the differences between them and everyone else in their age group is drastically obvious. If more people did things the way we did—they’d be a lot better off and our country would be much, much stronger in every regard. So when I hear things to the contrary, I know better—and it makes me really angry to see liberals insist on a course of social action that I know ruins people intellectually at first, but eventually destroys them in every way possible.
Donald Trump knows a time before all this happened—as I do. When he was a kid even in New York City where all these changes in our nation started, he had similar experiences so he knows how to call it out now. Even though he participated in that destruction as he moved into his adulthood he at least had a perspective that allowed for comparative analysis. Now in the very mature years of his life he wants to do something about it and he’s fighting back and he has my full support. That’s why I voted for him. But to assume that what he is doing is somehow not “mature” as Beck insisted to Bill O’Reilly is to not fully understand what is going on. Who cares about the office of the presidency and its place in history if that history is being destroyed right in front of our faces? What’s the point in White House honor if the world around it is crumbling from a lack of values? There is nothing wrong with Donald Trump lashing out at virtually everyone who criticizes him from my standpoint because it is deserved. There isn’t any honor in being “mature.” Porn is meant for “mature” audiences—people who are above a certain age and assumedly no longer feel they must defend themselves from attacks in the peeking order of life. Most “mature” people know their place in life and no longer strive to gain in it—they are defeated people who have given up. That is the case with most “mature” people. Donald Trump is not mature and neither am I. If I had a penny for every time someone told me to be more mature I could have bought all of Manhattan by now. What people really mean when they say such things is “why don’t you make it easy for me to beat you.” They don’t want to get along with you, they don’t want to live in peace with you—they just want you either out of their way or they want you naked in a back yard pool comfortably numb.
Our media and entertainment culture has been very aggressive in pushing our society more and more toward the kind of culture I described with the girlfriends from my early years. I was often criticized for wanting to marry so young, but I had already decided after those first two experiences that I wanted to live a traditional life—not these messes that I met through girlfriends in my school days. I said it back then and I say it now with more conviction because I have a lot of knowledge to back it up—those parents of the girlfriends were idiots. They ruined the lives of those little girls and most of the people they’d interact with for the rest of their lives and that is not something that people can live in harmony with. I wanted off the train and my wife did as well so we stepped off and lived our lives traditionally and I am certain everyone would be far better off if they followed. I elected Donald Trump to fight back—not to get along. There is a lot more at stake than just living and letting live—we are talking about fighting an obvious evil at its roots. We don’t want to make friends with it, and we don’t want to understand it. We want to destroy it.
There isn’t one person reading this who will say that my opinions about the young girls having sex in the fifth grade and parents who taught them by having key parties, isn’t wrong. But there are plenty of those same people who will justify those actions and even participate in them because they have learned to be “mature” and to just get along for the sake of peace. Most of them weren’t as lucky as I was to have a mom at home as a kid, or traditional grandparents to learn from. Most of them grew up bored at home with nothing to do from 4 to 6 pm every night so they experimented sexually with a neighbor. They drank from their parent’s liquor cabinet and learned to become drunken fools and laugh about it to justify all that behavior to their failed lives—they gave it a name—they called it “mature.” Well Glenn Beck, no thanks. You may be a recovering drug abuser but you are unqualified to comment on this topic because you have been compromised as a person and are only trying to make good on it late in life. If you aren’t fighting back against it like you used to—but are now trying to live in “accord” with it—you are useless. Bill O’Reilly I give a little bit of a pass to. He’s a nice guy who is smart and is a good reporter. But his passivity essentially destroyed his life. He didn’t see it coming and he allowed them to knock him off Fox News disgracefully. Trump has never been knocked down like O’Reilly and Beck have—never in his life. So why in the world should he listen to critics who say he should tone things down just because he’s president of the United States. If anything, the opposite is true. Fight everyone and do it often for the betterment of civilization—because a course correction is needed. And the need to correct that course is more important than giving the appearance of “maturity” as the world burns itself into extinction.
Clearly the people outraged over how Donald Trump has handled the constant bashing that Mikia Brezinski from MSNBC has conducted on the air toward the presidency are part of the problem. As president in the type of White House that I voted to project to the world, you cannot let all these silly ankle biters have a field day at your expense and still be expected to be taken seriously around the world in Russia, North Korea, China and Iran. And you can’t hide that maliciousness behind the fact that Mikia is a woman. Just because she’s a girl she doesn’t get to take pot shots at the presidency every day to boost her ratings and not expect to have justice plunged back at her to feel the wrath of bad decisions. For all the people like Charles Krauthammer and Diane Feinstein who think it is beneath the presidency of the United States to address all the masses like Mikia who want to criticize the president but from the safety of some invisible line of protection from retaliation—that is as bad of advice as I’ve ever heard. The American presidency is not a dunking booth where some clown sits above a pit of water and has people throw a ball at a target to dunk the person sitting over the water—and not have those balls thrown back. The presidency is a strategic seat which the world watches closely and when they see that Trump isn’t taking anything—even from a silly girl on MSNBC, they have to imagine what he might do when something really serious occurs, and that is what Trump’s Tweets and his push back against critics is so important to keeping the world safe. It’s about time that we have someone in the White House who understands that strategic importance.
The concept of the dunking booth is one of those things designed to make the masses feel comfortable toward people who are typically in power over them. For instance, at a big corporate event the boss that everyone is afraid of might be the one who sits in there and allows employees to throw balls at the target to raise money. In some citywide event like a festival it might be the local politicians. Again the desire is to ease the minds of the controlled by the people who act in life as their superiors. Thus, in the media we have told ourselves that it’s OK for comedians and cable news personnel to criticize our president but he’s not supposed to throw the balls back. He is supposed to just be dunked in the water like a fool and assure people looking on that the most powerful office in the world could easily be controlled by the mob of democracy. That’s essentially the outrage here. By attacking Mikia small-minded people worry that the most powerful office in the world might turn their sights on them and harass them in life for no reason at all. So we’ve invented this stupid tradition that sitting American presidents had an office above refute and were suppose to show that they could take criticism, but that they wouldn’t issue it back. Clearly that was a stupid idea and I am very happy that Trump is changing that notion.
I don’t fear anything about the executive branch. When Obama was president I was on every watch list that idiot could come up with and I never worried about troops showing up at my house to arrest me. I’m a law-abiding person for the most part and I do good things in life so I’m not going to put up with some unjustified arrest to make some silly politician in the White House happy. I have enough personal firearms and ammunition to withstand any incursion which is my right under the Second Amendment so I sleep very well at night. I don’t need to throw balls at a dunking booth to reassure myself that I have control over the political landscape. But when Obama was president, I did not feel like part of the political process. I did not have a representative in Washington D.C. My senator, Rob Portman might as well be a walking vagina the way he votes and my state governor John Kasich anal lube for prison inmates—and those are the good ones. People like Diane Feinstein from California aren’t even in my political spectrum of thought. Donald Trump certainly is and he’s there because there are more people like me than there are who have put those idiots in power over the years—because for the first time we had an option.
To do the same things we have done over and over again all through the years is ridiculous. Personally, and this has come up in the past—I would never sign up to be put into a dunking booth. I just don’t do things like that. I don’t dance. I don’t participate in activities that show I’m “one of the people” by making a fool of myself. Because in so many ways I’m a leader of so many at various aspects of life that I know it would let them down to present myself as less of a person. And Trump as a well-defined and successful leader understands that you have to be that type of person—a leader—in every aspect of your life. You never compromise yourself by paying prostitutes to piss on a bed or letting small-minded people ankle bite at you without swatting them away and showing them whose boss. And you don’t abuse your power just because you can—because real leaders understand the grand scheme of things. Small minded people don’t of course so they invent mechanisms like dunking booths and other metaphorical applications to assure their minds that powerful people can be kept in check. But that burden doesn’t fall on the powerful; it falls on the weak to deal with it. If you want to feel in control, buy a gun and arm yourself with the great equalizers of our society. Don’t look to laws by comb-over politicians to save you from aggression—just do it yourself. That is the American way.
Honestly I expect Trump to do what he did to Mikia on MSNBC. Watching the way she has behaved since Trump became president when obviously she was turned away from his Florida resort and is now out for revenge on the air—she deserves what she received and more. It doesn’t matter that she’s a woman. If she’s a bitch, then she deserves to be called one just as if some guy like her little boy toy Morning Joe could be referred to as a “dick.” Because he is. Saying such things isn’t beneath the presidency. It might be if Trump wasn’t doing his other work but he does all that and more. The guy works around the clock and he still has time to mix it up with some cable news hosts. No problem. And it wouldn’t hurt my feelings if he did a lot more of it. It’s about time. Those who think he shouldn’t are the same people who have helped created the state of affairs that we currently find ourselves in—a bunch of pushovers that the world can walk on at will—and for people like me, that just isn’t acceptable.
There was something that really bothered me about the way James Comey prepared his statements before the testimony, and the way he referred to tangible observations in such a lurid way. As I said to CNN, Comey’s written testimony along with the delivery of additional information to the senate reminded me of the early James Bond novels from Ian Flemming–of a much more disgraceful and reckless British agent than we saw in the films with Sean Connery and Roger Moore. The flair of Comey’s writing style reminded me not of a long time FBI agent—but actually that of a pent-up author wanting desperately to mater in the world just a few years before turning 60 years of age. My comments below come from the experience of being an employer myself and working with people the same age as James Comey—and in reading voluminous amounts of books over the years—particularly the work of Ian Fleming. I know all too well that when you hire fire and discipline around a thousand employees over a period of time some of them by nature will not agree with you. Sometimes they will work against you, and at some point in time will think you are the most evil person in the world because they can’t get you to see things their way—and they find themselves on the outside looking in—which often hurts their feelings. There are people out there who think I’m the most mean and evil person in the world. Does that make them correct? Of course not, but from their perspective their opinion is all they care about. And this is what we are talking about with Comey—an ex-employee who gambled and lost his job and is now on the outside and it hurts him. His testimony says all the things we need to know. If you know what to look for Comey spelled it all out before the hearing even took place by what he had written down, then illustrated gloriously during his sworn statements.
Again, this is experience on my part that I offer this breakdown, but Comey opened the door to it by his own testimony. Because he did that we have to account for the way he thinks and what his motives were based on the instinct of experience. For instance, below are a few of the Comey written comments that I found particularly damning for him so let me talk about them one at a time which will then be summarized to properly articulate my conclusion of why Comey should go to jail. Here is the first:
The IC leadership thought it important, for a variety of reasons, to alert the incoming President to the existence of this material, even though it was salacious and unverified. Among those reasons were: (1) we knew the media was about to publicly report the material and we believed the IC should not keep knowledge of the material and its imminent release from the President-Elect; and (2) to the extent there was some effort to compromise an incoming President, we could blunt any such effort with a defensive briefing.
That’s not what the IC was doing on their January 6th meeting with Trump where Comey cleared the room to report the unverified salacious and unverified material to Trump. They were showing the new president what they had on him and were warning him of information they “could” possess if needed for their own preservation. They were guilty of trying to create the kind of leverage that Comey complained about later which indicates that they were prone to thinking this way themselves—as a point of reference. The IC (intelligence community) was trying to throw Trump a bone so that they could win him over for their further employment. When Trump failed to feel threatened by this attempt, the members of the IC were deeply concerned as they left Trump Tower that day and it was at this point that the leaks from the IC began to flow freely to the press.
I felt compelled to document my first conversation with the President-Elect in a memo. To ensure accuracy, I began to type it on a laptop in an FBI vehicle outside Trump Tower the moment I walked out of the meeting. Creating written records immediately after one-on-one conversations with Mr. Trump was my practice from that point forward. This had not been my practice in the past. I spoke alone with President Obama twice in person (and never on the phone) – once in 2015 to discuss law enforcement policy issues and a second time, briefly, for him to say goodbye in late 2016. In neither of those circumstances did I memorialize the discussions. I can recall nine one-on-one conversations with President Trump in four months – three in person and six on the phone.
By his own admission Comey never did this with any other president prior, but the meeting rattled Comey to such an extent that he felt he better start now because it was always his intention after January 6th to rid the Beltway of this Trump threat. That was the same type of behavior that an employee who knows they are about to be fired does in an attempt to save their job, they begin gathering written recollections to use in human resources later. Comey lacking personal courage reverted to a passive aggressive approach, which was writing everything down. Comey understood early that Trump had doubts about him and his leadership in the FBI so he began to keep notes that he could use later to extort his futher employment.
My instincts told me that the one-on-one setting, and the pretense that this was our first discussion about my position, meant the dinner was, at least in part, an effort to have me ask for my job and create some sort of patronage relationship. That concerned me greatly, given the FBI’s traditionally independent status in the executive branch. A few moments later, the President said, “I need loyalty, I expect loyalty.” I didn’t move, speak, or change my facial expression in any way during the awkward silence that followed. We simply looked at each other in silence. The conversation then moved on, but he returned to the subject near the end of our dinner.
Here Comey is hoping to use his experience as an FBI agent and director to overcome any doubt about what he’s saying about Trump. This detail about his personal dinner with Trump in the Green Room of the White House is particularly revealing. First Comey wants to show that he has a story to tell and is trying to attract agents for a big book deal, or even a Hollywood movie based on his experiences. The liberals of the Beltway who know film producers likely put the bug in his ear which he was receptive to after that January 8th meeting where Comey started writing things down. The salacious details here say a lot about Comey’s motives because he goes into almost screenplay detail—which has nothing to do with facts the way you’d expect an FBI director to illicit. Instead he relied on his feelings which are more aligned with the way a novelist would write. People forget that Ian Flemming, the great British writer and creator of James Bond was a British Naval Intelligence Division agent before he was a writer and if you go back and read his first book, Casino Royal, it actually sounds a lot like the way Comey writes in his interactions with Trump. Since Comey himself offered that “instinct” is admissible as evidence for the deduction of reason in this case, then I feel quite comfortable in concluding that Comey decided he was going to be a writer after his FBI career and Trump was going to be his villain that he’d write about. He’d be the toast of the swamp as his friends around the Beltway would honor him for all time as the Boy Scout who saved them from the lunatic businessman from New York during a short-lived presidency. The more he thought about it, the more alluring the thought became until it became so obvious that Trump could see it on his face. Prior to that January 27th dinner meeting, Comey had hidden his fantasy—but Trump could detect it and it changed the way that Trump thought about Comey as director of the FBI.
On February 14, I went to the Oval Office for a scheduled counterterrorism briefing of the President. He sat behind the desk and a group of us sat in a semi-circle of about six chairs facing him on the other side of the desk. The Vice President, Deputy Director of the CIA, Director of the National CounterTerrorism Center, Secretary of Homeland Security, the Attorney General, and I were in the semi-circle of chairs. I was directly facing the President, sitting between the Deputy CIA Director and the Director of NCTC. There were quite a few others in the room, sitting behind us on couches and chairs. The President signaled the end of the briefing by thanking the group and telling them all that he wanted to speak to me alone. I stayed in my chair. As the participants started to leave the Oval Office, the Attorney General lingered by my chair, but the President thanked him and said he wanted to speak only with me. The last person to leave was Jared Kushner, who also stood by my chair and exchanged pleasantries with me. The President then excused him, saying he wanted to speak with me. When the door by the grandfather clock closed, and we were alone, the President began by saying, “I want to talk about Mike Flynn.” Flynn had resigned 5 the previous day. The President began by saying Flynn hadn’t done anything wrong in speaking with the Russians, but he had to let him go because he had misled the Vice President. He added thathe had other concerns about Flynn, which he did not then specify. The President then made a long series of comments about the problem with leaks of classified information – a concern I shared and still share. After he had spoken for a few minutes about leaks, Reince Priebus leaned in through the door by the grandfather clock and I could see a group of people waiting behind him. The President waved at him to close the door, saying he would be done shortly. The door closed. The President then returned to the topic of Mike Flynn, saying, “He is a good guy and has been through a lot.” He repeated that Flynn hadn’t done anything wrong on his calls with the Russians, but had misled the Vice President. He then said, “I hope you can see your way clear to letting this go, to letting Flynn go. He is a good guy. I hope you can let this go.” I replied only that “he is a good guy.” (In fact, I had a positive experience dealing with Mike Flynn when he was a colleague as Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency at the beginning of my term at FBI.) I did not say I would “let this go.” The President returned briefly to the problem of leaks. I then got up and left out the door by the grandfather clock, making my way through the large group of people waiting there, including Mr. Priebus and the Vice President. I immediately prepared an unclassified memo of the conversation about Flynn and discussed the matter with FBI senior leadership. I had understood the President to be requesting that we drop any investigation of Flynn in connection with false statements about his conversations with the Russian ambassador in December. I did not understand the President to be talking about the broader investigation into Russia or possible links to his campaign. I could be wrong, but I took him to be focusing on what had just happened with Flynn’s departure and the controversy around his account of his phone calls. Regardless, it was very concerning, given the FBI’s role as an independent investigative agency.
Even going to the trouble to mention the grandfather clock in this segment of Comey’s testimony is more of an attempt to paint a picture of the moment more than just reporting the facts. This only reiterates what I said about Comey wanting to be a novelist because the clock has nothing to do with the facts of the matter. The point of this entire segment is to paint Comey as the sole survivor of a treacherous cloud of villainy. Comey knew that his Beltway friends would soak all this up so he added extra detail for the sake of drama. In the contents of the discussion its obvious Trump wanted to protect his friend Michael Flynn from further embarrassment as the guy had just resigned a few days prior. There was no conspiracy or ill intent on the part of the president—since “instinct” is now admissible as evidence. What is particularly revealing here is the part where Comey tries to portray himself completely in control by saying “I did not say I would ‘let this go.” The president returned briefly to the problem of leaks. I then got up and left out the door by the grandfather clock”—and so on and so on. Listening to Comey speak in writing he was very much in control and was the protagonist of his own adventure, but from what he stated in his testimony he added that he was terrified of this one on one with Trump and he felt compelled that the weight of the office was upon him to stop the Russian investigation.
Essentially Comey decided some time before the election of 2016 that regardless of what happened he was going to seek money and fame in the private sector which likely shaped the way he handled the Hillary Clinton case. If he had prosecuted her—like he should have, the agents and movie makers would have held it against him. So days before the election when things were tight between Trump and Clinton he tried to take the light off her and help her out a few percentage points—because he wanted his book deal. It would have paid a lot more than he made as an FBI director and he’d gain fame for he and his family—along with his professor friends who leak stories to The New York Times. From Comey’s perspective of trying to make a little money for his family he’s a hero—he’s the protagonist standing up to the president in the Oval Office like a Boy Scout honest, clean and full of pride in Amerca. But in reality he was just another swamp monster working against the American people, actively subverting justice to keep a political party in power and when none of that worked he became one of the big leakers to the media in an attempt to bring down a properly elected American president violating his employment agreement with the FBI and the natural trust his position carried with it as head of the intelligence community.
Comey lied because he took it upon himself to become an activist, he wrote down information on government computers to be used as a weapon—no wonder he let Hillary Clinton go—but he did not state these intentions which were clearly present. Instead he painted himself as a bastion of the law who would uphold truth, justice and the American way. In reality he was just another cowering bureaucrat trying to hide in the swamp and ride out his years as he propped himself up as a future writer in the private sector. He lied because he did not state his intentions correctly for why he actually became a leaker. He said it was to preserve justice—but in reality it was to take down a president he didn’t like from the beginning and he wanted to be a hero to the left. He also lied in saying that he wasn’t political. His actions were very political and more than justified his termination without any further drama. But we all know how that turned out. Comey placed himself on a pedestal hoping to play at being the sacrificial lamb for the good of the ”Beltway.” But what he revealed of himself was that he was an activist for the preservation of the status quo and a leaker of information gathered in the Oval Office to be spread upon a salacious press in the way a plot from House of Cards might have a hard time believing. Yet that is precisely what happened. That is why Comey should go to jail. He abused the trust of his office. He sought to bring down an American president’s administration, and he misrepresented himself under sworn testimony. And he wrote down the evidence forcing us all to act on it.
