Revenge is the Right Word: We deserve a Resurrection for what our government did to the J6 Prisoners

We are not obligated to take the edge off our speech when it comes to the preponderance of evil that was on full display against American reformers during the Biden administration.  We witnessed a government that did not feel it had to report to the American voter perform a coup against a popularly picked president, our representative in government, which was a significant crime.  An unforgivable crime.  In every way possible, the protestors, known now as the J6 prisoners, had a right to storm the capitol and water the tree of liberty with the blood of the deceivers.  History under any other consideration would not frown upon it.  We had a case on January 6th 2021 where our government had become so big and bloated that they could hide their crimes behind their ability to make laws up as they went, and could ignore the rules we had on the books, so in many ways, the government in my view got off lucky that a very small percentage of Trump supporters came uncorked and stormed the Capitol to show the government who was boss.  As I have said, I would have done things differently, and I did. There are other ways to handle those kinds of situations legally.  But the government needed to feel the sting of a slap in the face, and the J6 protestors did a crucial job.  They needed to let the government know that they weren’t in charge, that it was the people who were.  And I think what happened that day scared the government in a way that makes all the good things happening now possible.  Trump and all of us have earned the right to rip the scab off the wound that the government created for the preservation of the government at our expense.  So let’s start there with that premise of authenticity. 

Washington D.C. is a much better place with Trump in the White House. He made a great decision to have the Inauguration in the Capitol Rotunda. Almost on the same spot that my wife is standing

On day one of President Trump’s I return to the White House, he signed pardons for most of the J6 prisoners who were arrested for their involvement in storming the Capitol four years earlier and not given any kind of due process.  Their Constitutional rights were violated grotesquely up to that point, so it was good that Trump did the right thing and signed an executive order letting them out of prison.  I watched those ceremonies with some satisfaction because it was the result of a minor miracle.  The reform movement needed people like the J6 prisoners to shake up the comfort level of an out-of-control government.  And it also took the massive work of people like I know, who work things out legally behind the scenes, and was able to prove election fraud way beyond a reasonable doubt during the 2020 election.  The culmination of all those events led to a miracle in many ways, such as Trump getting back into office after winning the election of 2024, way beyond a reasonable doubt, and putting law and order back on the side of the Constitution.  It was a razor’s edge that we had all been walking on, too much one way or the other, and we probably wouldn’t have had a country left.  We had to play by the law to enforce the law, and that was the only way that the J6 prisoners were ever going to get out of jail.  They had been detained for years and had lost all their personal freedom just for protesting a government that had grown out of control and turned into a menace against its own people.  And here was Trump, probably the most tormented soul of them all who had been tossed into exile, returning on the strength of our law and order to turn the tables on the bad guys without violence, but with the rule of law.  And I thought it was quite extraordinary. 

The Supreme Court and the Library of Congress next to each other in the back of the Capitol building. Probably the smartest place on Earth. And it belongs to the American people. Not politicians who come and go.

So much so that my wife and I, early in 2025, went to Washington, D.C., to heal a bit.  These last four years have been difficult, especially for my family.  I live these issues full time, so it makes it impossible for my family to escape them.  So, going to Washington D.C., the Imperial Capitol as they call it, and reclaiming it as our own was a big step for us.  For many years, I have seen Washington, D.C., as a separate place owned and operated by the globalist opposition, which it was never supposed to be.  It is considered to be the stronghold of self-government.  So for our needs, my wife and I visited Washington D.C. and the Capitol Building as a kind of resurrection exercise to put everything in context.  We were there for Trump’s magnificent speech and to witness the town as a place dealing with the inevitable turn of tables on the day that J6 happened, when our President had been removed from office, cast away, and rejected by an administrative state that thought it had the power to do it.  It never did; we had to go back to the crime scene knowing what we do now to see how the future would be built in the context of history.  It’s nice to see everything and reflect on the Constitution’s importance.  And to see Trump back in the White House with Elon Musk running up and down Pennsylvania Avenue using D.O.G.E. to make permanent spending cuts to that same bloated government.  We all did a lot to get this chance at an American resurrection, and for us, it felt like we were planting the flag of victory onto a vile enemy and were retaking our Capitol from hostile foreign insurgents who have been plotting our demise for centuries, and it felt good.  But that doesn’t change what happened and what we must do about it.  The crime of election fraud that was done to us was far worse than whatever crimes were tossed at the J6 protestors, and the correct terminology regarding it can only be revenge.  Revenge was needed, not just retribution. 

The Library of Congress, an astonishingly intelligent place!

Now that they are free from prison, the J6 prisoners are telling about their experiences, and many were tortured while they were in jail.  They didn’t know if President Trump would return to the White House.  They were staring down a bottomless well of injustice, with correctional officers spitting in their food and treating them horribly in solitary confinement.  Many of them endured horrible conditions in prison, abused by a system that thought it was untouchable from justice.  And revenge is the only word we can use to keep it from happening again.  These prisoners had their 4th, 5th, and 6th Amendments violated severely, and we can’t just look away and forget about it.  We took back our capital from those holding it hostage for our entire lifetimes.  Never before did someone like a Trump get a chance to address with the authority of being a resurrected survivor the hellhound revenge that is perfectly justified now and will continue for many years.  We must never forget what the bad guys did to us.  Revenge is the only justifiable remedy for what they did, and we walked that thin line to enforce it.  Everyone involved on the bad side should consider themselves lucky that we are willing to stick by the law and give them their due process because they don’t deserve it.  They deserve everything and worse for what they did, and now they will have to pay for it.  But what’s different for us is that we do respect the law, and we will use the law to get revenge on those who broke it and tried to destroy our country and all of us with it.

Darbi Boddy Gets the Sam Adams Award: What people want out of school boards

It was ironic to attend the Patriot Awards at the historic 20th Century Theater in Oakley, Ohio, to see Darbi Boddy get the Sam Adams Award for constitutional preservation and outstanding patriotism while the radical elements of Lakota schools were petitioning a judge in Butler County to remove her from the Lakota school board. Two different views of the world couldn’t be further apart. Since Darbi entered her first term as a school board member at Lakota, activated due to her concern for the way things had been going in public schools, the politically left-leaning elements of the union-controlled Lakota were irate toward her very existence. And they have been pushing to have her utterly destroyed. Yet, there are lots of people happy to see Darbi Boddy fighting on their behalf, and here they were on a Saturday night during Memorial Day weekend, giving her an award for doing exactly what was making the radical elements of Lakota so angry. Darbi received her award and gave a nice little speech that clearly indicated she wasn’t about to resign from the school board, as the school administration was pushing for her to do. At the heart of the matter was a battle for who really controls public schools, elected officials or hired administrators. And the hired administrators were obviously fighting to maintain their assumption that they were in control and that the elected members of the school board were just token sentiments. So the battle lines were drawn up in Lakota schools for an issue that had emerged to be a national one most clearly expressed in the newly elected Darbi Boddy.

The teacher unions have established themselves as being in charge of all public schools. There has evolved a kind of mutual understanding that nobody questioned so long as parents had the free babysitting service of public education. A superintendent would be inserted to be a mediator between the progressive radicals of the union and the school board elected by the public. As soon as school board members were elected, they’d join the Ohio School Board Association and would learn the rules of conduct that the public would see. And the labor unions would then advocate for a more progressive political world shielded by the superintendent, who would take over the management tasks from the school board. While the school boards worried about all the rules of their endeavor, the radical progressives in the labor unions were putting the focus on pay, benefits, and whether or not there were gay rights celebrated at the school, and all references toward God and country removed from the instruction of the children. I’ve been pointing these things out for several decades, and it’s taken people a while to accept these conditions as a reality. I knew at some point there was going to be a wall that the whole thing would hit; I figured it would happen during the Trump administration. But really, it took Covid to bring it out, as mad moms saw what was really going on in the classrooms because the lockdowns broke the cycle of free babysitting that had been occurring. Parents had time to think about how serious the problem really was in public education. 

For all those who hate Darbi Boddy, I can report that there are many like her out there. Darbi is one of the best that I’ve run across who may be able to save some aspects of public education because she genuinely cares about the school and the kids in it. And their parents. But the fight to go back to what labor unions used to have, a superintendent who would run cover for all their bad conduct and continue to ask for perpetual raises regardless of performance, is over. Getting rid of Darbi Boddy won’t put that mess back together; it was always destined to hit the wall of public perception. Darbi is just the first brick in that wall they’ve come in contact with. Like bell-bottoms and disco attire were come-and-go fashions from the 70s, this period of union control of public schools will be viewed as archaic and embarrassing in hindsight. The future of public education is not in the union’s control of them. Like all institutions that labor unions have controlled, they have driven them out of business because they insist on the organization’s management control. But they do not make management decisions; they make emotional ones, so their efforts fail everywhere they are tried, especially in public education. To hide their failure, they use the superintendent to hide their incompetence behind high wages and get the school boards to chase their tails through rules and regulations—something I call “procedural camouflage.” Well, that’s no longer acceptable, and taxpayers are finally figuring out the story with public schools; they aren’t worth the money, aren’t teaching kids the right things, and are open sores in their communities for progressive politics. While the school boards try to play by the rules, the crimes of public schools are hidden behind the rules. 

That is why there was so much anger at Darbi Boddy for immediately going around the rules to get to the heart of the matter, in challenging the power structure of the superintendent and his protection over his flock of unionized teachers. Within the culture of Lakota, of course, Darbi was hated. And voters cast in her favor because they wanted her to do that particular job. They wanted her to seek media attention to get the story out so that it couldn’t be contained within the structure of institutionalism and concealed from the view of voters. And while she was being vilified at school board meetings and in the halls of the schools the way most bosses are by incompetent employees, at the Patriot Awards, Darbi was getting applause for patriotism under fire and doing what many didn’t have the guts to do, stand up to the corrosive elements of public education and dare to ask questions that nobody wanted to answer. I tend to see Darbi Boddy as the best thing that has happened to Lakota schools. Public education, in general, is undergoing major changes. The labor unions will not be able to remain in control as they have been. Soon, the public money that the schools divide up like pirates after a robbery on the high seas will go to the kids. It will only take the next Republican presidential administration with a Republican-controlled House and Senate that will take the power of the Department of Education away completely, as Ronald Reagan had promised back in the early 80s. His failure to do that has caused much of the trouble we see today, which new politicians like Darbi are coming forth to challenge. Soon, it will gain national steam, and the political capital will be present to change the entire structure. There are already 1.5 million kids who stepped away from public education because of Covid. That number is increasing due to the obvious CRT teachings and the transgender politics that so many parents find objectionable as a public policy. Public schools have done it to themselves. Lakota will be glad that they had these disputes with Darbi early in the future. Maybe they can use this conflict to get in front of the inevitable, and Lakota can find a way to be relevant in the ways of the future. Holding on to the past where the unions ran everything, and the superintendents ran cover for the unions is over. And that wasn’t the fault of Darbi Boddy. She’s doing what the voters want.   Lakota schools were the ones caught going in the wrong direction.

Term Limits for Congress: Do the job, then go back home and give someone else a chance.

This was sent to me, and it made so much sense that I thought it would get more exposure if I put it up here.  If you have any questions as to the validity of this proposal, think of these people. 

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

Congressional Reform Act of 2010

 

 

 

 

 

              1. Term Limits.

 

 

 

                 12 years only, one of the possible options below..

 

 

 

                 A. Two Six-year Senate terms

 

                 B. Six Two-year House terms

 

                 C. One Six-year Senate term and three Two-Year House terms

 

 

 

              2.  No Tenure / No Pension.

 

 

 

              A Congressman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they are out of office.

 

 

 

              3.  Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security.

 

 

 

              All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately.  All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people.

 

 

 

              4. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do.

 

 

 

              5. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.

 

 

 

              6. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people.

 

 

 

              7. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people.

 

 

 

              8. All contracts with past and present Congressmen are void effective 1/1/11.

 

 

 

              The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen.  Congressmen made all these contracts for themselves.

 

 

 

              Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career.  The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, serve your term(s),then go home and back to work.

____________________________________________________________________________________________

Sounds great to me.  Makes you wonder how it ever bacame a career goal?  Yet another example of a government out of control, the fact that we even have to write things like this, because congress was never intended to be a career. 

I’ve spent the last four months reading the Federalist Papers, and the Anti-Federalist Papers, and nothing in those fine books showed any inclination that we’d ever have congressman like the people shown in these videos.
