Protecting the Supreme Court, Correcting the 14th Amendment’s Ambiguity, and Why President Trump’s Executive Order on Birthright Citizenship Must Stand: A Defense of Sovereignty, History, and the Republic Against Democrat Weaponization.

I have said it repeatedly, and the events of recent years only reinforce my conviction: the stability of the United States rests on strong institutions that resist the short-term, destructive impulses of partisan power grabs. I am a vocal supporter of the Supreme Court. America is far better off because we have this body of nine justices, even when they do not always rule exactly as I or any single citizen might prefer. That independence is its strength. Yet independence does not mean immunity from political pressure or erosion. We must guard the Court fiercely against attempts to pack it—something Democrats have openly discussed and pursued whenever they sense they can regain majorities in Congress and the White House. Court packing would destroy the legitimacy of the judiciary, turning it into just another partisan tool rather than the constitutional anchor it was designed to be. In the future, preventing such packing is issue number one if we want to preserve the Republic as the Founders and the Reconstruction-era Republicans envisioned it.

This brings us directly to the current debate before the Supreme Court in Trump v. Barbara and the related challenge to President Donald Trump’s executive order on birthright citizenship. On his first day back in office in January 2025, President Trump issued Executive Order No. 14,160, titled “Protecting the Meaning and Value of American Citizenship.” The order sought to clarify and limit automatic birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment for children born in the United States to parents who are here illegally or on temporary visas. Trump attended the oral arguments himself on April 1, 2026—the first sitting president to do so in such a historic case—because the stakes could not be higher. He wanted the justices to see him, to understand that this is not abstract legal theory but a direct defense of American sovereignty against deliberate abuse. 

I watched the arguments closely, as did many Americans. The presentations from the White House side were strong, but I believe they could have been plainer in connecting the dots for the broader public and, frankly, for any justice still wrestling with the text. Some justices, including moderates like Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Barrett, seemed focused on the literal wording of the 14th Amendment’s Citizenship Clause. That is understandable in a chamber built for deep constitutional deliberation. But context, history, and the clear evil intent behind modern exploitation of that language demand more than wooden literalism. The Supreme Court has the opportunity—and I would argue the duty—to rule in favor of the executive order, or at least to rein in lower courts from overstepping while setting a precedent that corrects the ambiguity Democrats have weaponized for decades.

Let’s go back to the text and the moment that produced it. Section 1 of the 14th Amendment, ratified in 1868 during Reconstruction, reads: “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.”

The key phrase is “subject to the jurisdiction thereof.” This was not written in a vacuum. The Republican Party was founded explicitly to abolish slavery. The Constitution itself contained mechanisms—free speech, open debate, federalism with sovereign states competing against one another—that allowed moral philosophy to challenge the evil of slavery through open discussion. Slavery was not uniquely American; it was a global human tragedy. The Hebrew enslaved people in Egypt, freed by Moses and God through forty years in the wilderness, remind us that this is not about skin color but about the human experience of bondage. Every ancient culture practiced it. In the antebellum world, it remained economically entrenched because the Industrial Revolution had not yet provided mechanical alternatives to physical labor on plantations.

Democrats of that era were the party of the plantation South, defending slavery as essential to their economic and political power. Republicans, led by figures like Abraham Lincoln, fought to end it. The Civil War nearly destroyed the nation. Think of Gettysburg: the pivotal Union victory where Robert E. Lee overreached, and the Confederacy lost Stonewall Jackson earlier. Had things gone differently, slavery might have persisted longer, and the Democrat vision could have dominated. But Ulysses S. Grant took command after Gettysburg, ground down Lee’s army through superior resources and will, and the Union prevailed. Reconstruction followed, and the 14th Amendment was crafted with strong, deliberate language to protect the children of formerly enslaved people from being undermined by resentful Southern Democrats. It overrode the horrific Dred Scott decision and ensured that those born on American soil to people now under full U.S. jurisdiction would be citizens with equal protection. The strong wording was necessary because the country had almost died; Republicans needed ironclad guarantees against future subversion by the very forces that had supported secession and slavery. 

The amendment was never intended as an open invitation for the entire world to produce “anchor babies” by entering the United States—legally or illegally—and claiming automatic citizenship for their children as a pathway to chain migration and demographic transformation. That perversion creates an administrative nightmare and devalues the priceless gift of American citizenship. Only about 3 million people are born in the U.S. each year with that “lottery ticket.” Opening the borders to everyone dilutes its worth to nothing. You do not see mass “birth tourism” or anchor strategies overwhelming France, Germany, or other European nations in the same way because the U.S. Constitution’s freedoms and opportunities are uniquely attractive. Parents exploit this to give their children benefits they themselves lack, while the broader society bears the cost.

Democrats have exploited this ambiguity with vicious intent. Just as they once defended slavery and later resisted Reconstruction, they now use the 14th Amendment’s language—written to heal a broken nation after a war over bondage—as a Trojan horse for open borders. The strategy is clear: flood the country with illegal immigration, encourage births on U.S. soil, and secure a new voting base that tilts heavily Democrat. They have lain in wait behind the scenes, playing the long game, just as they did during Reconstruction when they sought to undermine enslaved people formerly. If they regain majorities, their plans include court packing to dilute the current conservative-leaning Court, eliminating the filibuster where convenient, and accelerating policies that erode national sovereignty in favor of a “citizens of the world” globalism. They are counting on literal readings that ignore the “subject to the jurisdiction” qualifier and the original context of full allegiance to the United States.

President Trump’s executive order directly corrects this abuse. It does not rewrite the Constitution; it restores the original meaning by directing agencies to interpret “jurisdiction” properly—excluding those whose parents owe primary allegiance elsewhere (illegal entrants or temporary visa holders not fully subject to U.S. authority in the complete sense intended). This aligns with historical exceptions noted even in cases like United States v. Wong Kim Ark (1898), which involved children of lawful, domiciled residents, not illegal or transient populations. The order prevents the slow erosion that Democrats rely on, where administrative inertia and activist lower courts allow the problem to fester until it becomes irreversible. We do not have decades to wait for a new amendment; the border crisis and demographic shifts are immediate threats. Republicans have often been too nice, playing by rules that Democrats discard when inconvenient. Trump’s presence in the courtroom signaled: this is serious; the people who elected me demand action now.

I cannot understand why any justice would struggle purely on constitutional grounds if they weigh the full history. The 14th Amendment’s strong language protected the most vulnerable—children of formerly enslaved people—from the very Democrats who had championed slavery. Now those same political forces (in evolved form) flip the script, using that protective language to punish America by overwhelming it with migration that collapses social services, wages, and cultural cohesion in under two years if unchecked. It is the same evil at work: resentment, power through numbers, destruction of the Republic’s foundations. Slavery was about controlling labor; today’s open-border policies are about controlling future electorates through imported dependency.

The Supreme Court sits in one of the most magnificent intellectual environments on Earth. The chamber, connected by tunnel to the Library of Congress with its majestic architecture and vast repository of human knowledge, invites precisely the deep consideration this case requires. I suggest to the justices: take a break from arguments, walk that tunnel, sit amid the great books, and reflect on humanity’s trajectory. The Republic pivots on decisions like this. The Library of Congress and Capitol Hill represent the accumulated wisdom that brought us here—from the wilderness with Moses, through the philosophical debates that birthed the Republican Party, through the blood of Gettysburg and the resolve of Grant, to the Reconstruction amendments that stitched the nation back together.

Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Barrett, in particular, have the chance to cement their places in history not as strict literalists who enable modern subversion, but as guardians who adapt to the clear wartime-like conditions at the border without destroying the Court’s integrity. A two-part ruling could work: affirm the executive branch’s authority to interpret and enforce the “jurisdiction” clause against abuse, while cautioning against overreach. Or uphold the order’s core while leaving room for Congress to legislate further clarity. Either way, failing to support it risks handing Democrats the weapon they crave. They will wait out Trump, then pack the Court if given power, bust the filibuster, and accelerate the “citizens of the world” agenda that treats American sovereignty as an outdated obstacle.

This is not abstract. As I have written in my books, including ongoing work like The Politics of Heaven, spiritual and cultural warfare underlies these battles. The same forces that resisted abolition now resist secure borders and a coherent national identity. Slavery was a global curse divorced from humanity through moral debate, protected by American mechanisms. Christianity and Western philosophy advanced the idea of divorce. Today, the blood cults of old may be gone, but new mechanisms—demographic replacement, erosion of citizenship’s value—serve similar ends of control and destruction of God’s ordered creation under sovereign nations.

Trump’s order offers the corrective language the 14th Amendment needed but could not foresee in 1868, when the threat was resurgent Southern Democrats undermining formerly enslaved people, not global migration engineered for partisan gain. The executive order prevents the administrative nightmare of “anchor” policies that reward lawbreaking. It honors the Reconstruction Republicans’ intent to build a stable, sovereign nation where citizenship means full jurisdiction and allegiance, not a loophole for invasion by birth.

I urge the Supreme Court to rule in favor of the order. Do so knowing that Democrats play by no rules when power is at stake. They have shown their hand with past court-packing proposals and threats to undermine safeguards. Republicans must not be “too nice” here. The slow pace of constitutional amendment cannot match the urgency; evil percolates in the interim. Support the executive order, set the precedent, and preserve the Court’s role as a bulwark rather than a casualty of partisan war.

This decision will be judged for centuries. Get it right. Visit the Library of Congress, absorb the weight of history—from the Exodus to Gettysburg to today—and return to chambers ready to defend the Republic. The human intellect that built these institutions demands it. American sovereignty, the value of citizenship, and the stability of our constitutional order hang in the balance. Trump showed up because he cares. The justices must now do their part in history.

Good and Bad Protests: It all comes down to free elections

In the realm of global politics, protests serve as a barometer of societal discontent, yet their legitimacy often hinges on the nature of the regime they challenge. Distinguishing between “good” and “bad” protesters requires an examination of context: are they rallying against an elected, representative government, or are they resisting tyrannical rule? This question came into sharp focus during the 2020 protests in Minneapolis, Minnesota, which erupted following the death of George Floyd in police custody on May 25, 2020. These demonstrations, part of the broader Black Lives Matter movement, quickly escalated into widespread unrest, including looting, arson, and clashes with law enforcement, resulting in an estimated $500 million in damages across the Twin Cities area.  In contrast, protests in countries like Venezuela, Hong Kong, and Iran have often been viewed through a different lens by the United States—supported as righteous uprisings against oppressive dictatorships. The key difference lies in the foundational principles of democracy, free will, and self-governance. Protests in the U.S. that aim to undermine policies enacted by a duly elected administration, such as those under President Donald Trump, border on sedition, while those abroad that seek to dismantle authoritarian structures align with American values of liberty and human rights. If we explore these distinctions, delving into historical and contemporary contexts, the role of money and culture in measuring societal value, the mechanics of representative republics versus mob rule, and the perils of communist influences attempting to exploit civil unrest for revolutionary ends.

To understand the Minneapolis protests, one must first grasp their origins and evolution. On May 25, 2020, George Floyd, a 46-year-old African American man, was arrested by Minneapolis police officers on suspicion of using a counterfeit $20 bill. During the arrest, Officer Derek Chauvin knelt on Floyd’s neck for over nine minutes, leading to his death, which was ruled a homicide.  Video footage of the incident, captured by bystanders, went viral, igniting outrage over police brutality and systemic racism. Protests began the next day, initially peaceful, with thousands gathering at the site of Floyd’s death on East 38th Street and Chicago Avenue.  However, by May 27, the demonstrations turned violent, with looting at stores like Target and Cub Foods, and arson setting fire to buildings along Lake Street, including the Third Precinct police station, which protesters overran and burned.  Over the following days, the unrest spread to Saint Paul and other cities, leading to 604 arrests, 164 arsons, and two deaths during the initial phase from May 26 to June 7.  The protests were characterized by demands for police reform, but they also included calls to defund or abolish police departments, which critics argued amounted to an assault on established law and order.

These events occurred against the backdrop of the Trump administration’s policies, particularly on immigration and law enforcement, which protesters often decried as oppressive. Trump’s approach emphasized strict border control, including the construction of a border wall and enhanced deportation efforts, aimed at enforcing existing laws passed by Congress.  In Minnesota, a state with significant immigrant communities, some protests intertwined racial justice with immigration issues, portraying federal policies as tools of suppression. Yet, from the perspective of election legitimacy, these protests challenged the outcomes of the 2016 election, where Trump was elected on a platform promising stronger law enforcement and border security. The 2020 election, which saw Trump lose amid widespread mail-in voting due to the COVID-19 pandemic, further fueled debates over electoral integrity. Claims of irregularities, such as unverified mail ballots and changes to voting rules by state officials without legislative approval, led to lawsuits and audits, though courts largely upheld the results.  Protesters in Minneapolis, by seeking to force policy changes through disruption rather than the ballot box, exemplified what some view as seditious behavior—actions that undermine a government chosen by the people.

Sedition, as defined in U.S. law under 18 U.S.C. § 2384, involves conspiring to overthrow or oppose by force the authority of the government or to prevent the execution of its laws.  Historically, sedition laws have been controversial, dating back to the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798, which criminalized false statements against the government amid fears of French influence.  These acts were repealed, but similar provisions resurfaced in the Espionage Act of 1917 and its 1918 amendments, targeting anti-war speech during World War I.  In modern times, sedition charges are rare due to First Amendment protections, requiring speech to incite imminent lawless action per Brandenburg v. Ohio (1969).  However, the Minneapolis unrest, with its destruction of public property and calls to dismantle police forces enforcing federal and state laws, raised questions about whether such actions crossed into seditious territory. Critics argue that while peaceful protest is protected, violence aimed at policy overthrow bypasses democratic processes, echoing the point that these actions seek to subvert a government “picked by the people.”

Contrast this with protests in Venezuela, where demonstrators have long challenged the authoritarian regime of Nicolás Maduro. Since 2013, Venezuelans have protested against economic collapse, hyperinflation, shortages, and political repression under Maduro’s socialist government, which succeeded Hugo Chávez’s Bolivarian Revolution.  Major waves occurred in 2014, following the attempted rape of a student and subsequent arrests, leading to 43 deaths and thousands of arrests.  In 2017, protests intensified over Maduro’s attempts to consolidate power, including dissolving the opposition-led National Assembly. By 2019, opposition leader Juan Guaidó declared himself interim president, sparking massive demonstrations against Maduro’s fraudulent re-election in 2018, where voter turnout was artificially inflated and opposition candidates were barred.  The U.S. supported these protests, recognizing Guaidó and imposing sanctions on Maduro’s regime to pressure for democratic restoration.  Unlike Minneapolis, these protests targeted a regime that suppressed elections, jailed opponents, and relied on violence to maintain control, aligning with U.S. interests in promoting self-governance.

Similarly, Hong Kong’s 2019 pro-democracy protests arose from opposition to an extradition bill that would allow transfers to mainland China, threatening the city’s autonomy under the “one country, two systems” framework established in 1997.  Beginning in March 2019, millions marched peacefully, but clashes with police escalated, involving tear gas, rubber bullets, and arrests.  Protesters demanded withdrawal of the bill, an inquiry into police brutality, and universal suffrage for legislative and chief executive elections.  The U.S. condemned China’s crackdown, passing the Hong Kong Human Rights and Democracy Act in November 2019 to support protesters and sanction officials.  These actions were seen as resistance to communist encroachment by the Chinese Communist Party, which imposed a national security law in 2020, leading to mass arrests and the erosion of freedoms. 

In Iran, the 2022 protests following the death of Mahsa Amini in morality police custody highlighted resistance to theocratic rule.  Amini, arrested for improper hijab, died on September 16, 2022, sparking nationwide demonstrations led by women removing veils and chanting “Woman, Life, Freedom.”  The regime responded with violence, killing at least 551 protesters, including 68 children, and arresting thousands.  The U.S. supported these protests by easing sanctions on technology to aid communication and condemning the repression.  Unlike U.S. protests, these aimed to dismantle a regime that denies free elections and enforces religious law through brutality.

The U.S. has historically backed such international protests as vehicles for promoting democracy and human rights.  In Venezuela, the Trump administration recognized Guaidó and imposed sanctions to isolate Maduro.  For Hong Kong, bipartisan legislation provided support against Chinese influence.  In Iran, statements and actions affirmed solidarity with protesters seeking freedom.  This aligns with America’s foundational values, where money measures initiative and ownership, fostering a culture of self-reliance and free will. In representative republics, citizens elect officials to enact policies, as in Trump’s immigration agenda, which prioritized enforcement to preserve national sovereignty.  Protests forcing change through violence confuse this with direct democracy, potentially leading to majority tyranny.

Election integrity is central to this distinction. The 2020 U.S. election faced scrutiny over mail-in ballots, with claims of fraud in swing states like Georgia and Pennsylvania.  Audits and lawsuits revealed serious issues.  In contrast, regimes like Maduro’s rig elections, justifying protests as the only recourse.  Elections are rigged in other countries, and its hard to admit that it has been happening in America.  Concern about “mail balls made up in a Walmart parking lot” echoes debates over ballot security, highlighting why preserving electoral processes is vital to prevent insurrection.

Underlying U.S. protests, is communist infiltration via progressive politics.  Historical fears, like McCarthyism in the 1950s, targeted alleged communist subversion.  Today, claims persist of cultural Marxism influencing movements like BLM, seen as platforms to usher in socialism by undermining capitalism and family structures.  In Minneapolis, some viewed protests as exploiting civil rights for communist ends, contrasting with genuine struggles abroad against actual communist dictators.

The difference boils down to intent and system: U.S. protests against elected policies risk sedition, while those abroad against tyranny merit support. Preserving free elections, resisting infiltration, and valuing self-governance ensure America’s republic endures, unlike faraway places lacking such freedoms.

Good Leaders Don’t Share the Spotlight: What Elon Musk means by a Direct Democracy on Mars

I understood what Elon Musk meant when he expressed that a government on Mars should be a Direct Democracy as opposed to what we have in the United States, a Representative Republic.  Many people took that as a knock against our current form of government, which many would consider the best in the world.  But I think the point of the matter is to regulate what you want the government to do.  I would say that in America, we just voted for a strong CEO type, and coming from the wealthiest man in the world who runs a lot of companies, of course, that would be his recommendation.  When we set up a government on Mars, we should give people the right to vote for a strong CEO type of leader.  Not a government with checks and balances that are meant to keep the brakes on government activism by making it hard to pass things that can slow down your society.  A mature government in a fully functioning country will have different needs than a remote colony of struggling adventurers, so context is everything.   But it’s important to consider how leadership is advanced or suppressed in a culture, depending on the kind of government you want to have.  Personally, I get asked at least two or three times a week when I am going to run for elected office, and my reply is always that I don’t have the tolerance for all that hand-holding.  Politicians have to be patient and need to serve the task at hand.  Where I am a very imposing person.  I expect people to do things my way or to take the highway.  I am not very interested in people who don’t do what I tell them.  And I certainly am not a group consensus kind of facilitator.  Elected office would be very frustrating because it involves too much working with other people to get anything done. 

I certainly understand the need for a time and place to give everyone a seat at the table.  In my own family, I get very frustrated in trying to get anybody to agree on anything when we coordinate events together.  There is always somebody working, there is always someone sick, there is always someone who wants to do something else.  And when it comes to those things and community events, I tend to sit on my temper and let everyone talk until they figure it out.  At those times, I sit back and sit on my hands and wait for everyone to get their minds right.  It drives me crazy, but its what you have to do sometimes when the people you are working with want to think they are all equally able to express an opinion and desire for an outcome.  Our representative government in America is good because it only gives it limited powers to do the bare minimum.  However, innovation and exceptional output come from individual leaders who are very strong-willed and can put people on their backs and take them to the promised land.  That’s the kind of thing I’m interested in.  That is undoubtedly what America voted for in putting Trump back in the White House.  We didn’t vote for a continued bureaucracy of three branches of government checking each other’s power.  As  a strong CEO, we want Trump to impose his will on the executive branch and make everyone else see things his way.  Which is the way we voted for.  That is the kind of thing that Elon Musk is talking about setting up on Mars.  I would say he’s new to this kind of thinking and has the right idea.  But as to government, you don’t want your leadership on Mars to come from the government.  You want a bunch of innovative CEOs competing with each other to drive culture forward.  You want just enough representative government to keep the power and water supply flowing.  The basic infrastructure that the government can provide for a society.  But nothing more.  Our form of government was so powerful because it decentralized the concept of a king.  But in a strongly run company, a CEO is essentially a king.  So, one thing we have never quite figured out in a capitalist culture is how to have a decentralized government that empowers kings to run good companies and give people options through at-will employment.  If they don’t like one company, they can work for another.  If their king is a tyrant, they can leave and work for someone much better.  Meanwhile, the water works, the power runs, and the basic infrastructure needs of society are handled by a government just powerful enough to do so but not so powerful that it takes over everything. 

I fall asleep with all the consensus-building that has been imposed on us by collectivist-based philosophies because they were never going to work.  I’m glad people are doing those jobs for school boards, trustees, and commissioners.  But I am only ever happy when I can point at someone and tell them to do a task.  They perform the task, and everyone celebrates victory.  Rule by Consensus is an academic fantasy by the fans of Karl Marx.  It’s as practical as unicorns and dragons from fantasy and has no business being discussed along with leadership concepts.  Human beings follow strong leaders.  Elon Musk, the world’s richest person, knows through experience what a good leader looks like.  And when traveling to other planets and setting up civilization there, strong leaders will be necessary.  Stalled government concepts will only slow down progress. 

When we talk about why we can’t do things anymore, and everything costs so much money, it’s because our government approach has been wrong.  When we try to build a bridge or a highway, if we look to the past, there was always some strong personality type that was able to wrestle all the alligators and make boots out of them.  This is opposed to the consensus-building approach, in which everyone treats the effort like an Alcoholics Anonymous session.  That approach costs money and time and seldom ever gets anything done.  And I have never been interested in those interactions with other people.  And people who are good leaders check out and do something else.  If you want success in a society, you have to give a means to firm leadership to work their magic.  We didn’t elect Trump to get along with other people.  We elected him to impose his will that we voted for.  He told us what he wanted to do, and we empowered him to do it.  That is what Elon Musk is talking about for Mars and space travel in general.  You never want the government to have too much power.  Our current Representative Republic keeps elected officials talking while the real leaders of the world run companies that employ people for everyone’s best interests.  We don’t look to the government to provide that leadership level, and we never should.  Even though we admire people like George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Ronald Reagan, they are exceptions to the rule of a government that needs to have its power regulated and stalled so that a centralized authority doesn’t encumber authentic leadership.  And that is a trick we are still working out on earth.  We see good examples here and there; Elon Musk is undoubtedly one of them.  Trump has always been a successful and influential CEO.  But he doesn’t share the spotlight with anybody.  He has always been the top dog in all his endeavors.  And people dealing with him know it.  I’ve never seen authentic leadership share the spotlight of authority and work.  Rule by committee does not work.  Only strong leadership by influential personalities works.  Typically, those are not the people you want running the government.  You want them out there making money and employing people so that society has options and innovation to build from.

Don’t mistake the situation; we are fighting a revolution and nothing short.  A lot of celebrities, like Elon Musk and Mel Gibson, are saying these days that if Trump isn’t re-elected, America will fall into a Banana Republic.  I hate to break it to everyone, but we have been a Banana Republic for several years already.  What has happened is that the pretense of communist thought that has always been lurking in the background on just about everything we do has been realized due to its massive failure.  The only thing that has changed is the blankets most people have been hiding under for most of their lives.  As long as they were living well, they didn’t pay much attention, and they could afford to flirt with left-of-center compassions without truly understanding the impact of those decisions.  So long as we were a rich country, we could flirt with evil temptations as there was food on the table, a nice car to drive, and a school to drop off our children.  That is why after Trump was removed from office right after the 2020 election, I sat down and read to everyone from the pages of Cleon Skousen’s famous book, The Naked Communist, because that was the reality of our condition.  And I wanted people to be comforted by that knowledge because what he had to do was nothing short of a Revolutionary War.  We were being tested, and we were going to have to dig deep and find our resolve to take our country back from these evil people.  It wasn’t that we were going to lose it in future tense.  We had already lost it, past tense. When people seem surprised to learn this, they only indicate that they are just now realizing something that has been a fact for a long time. 

Once the smoke clears from all this, history will remember it as a major revolution, and we can only hope that we can fight and win it with a legalized voting process rather than by force.  If you understand the conditions of the American Revolution, it was a lot like what we are seeing today, except the villain is not just an oppressive English rule over some remote colonies, but globalism and its communist intentions by using China as the model everyone else is supposed to follow.  Even a few months ago, Elon Musk was flirting with left-of-center ideas because he could afford to.  Like many celebrities, especially when they are financially well off, they become socially left of center because they have the luxury of compassion, which is one of the perils of success.  How do you keep the “Eye of the Tiger” attitude at winning in life with a full bank account and the realization that there are a lot of needy people in the world, and it makes you feel good to help them by throwing money at them?  It is more of an exploitation of a human need to belong to other human beings than any practical sentiments that might spawn from the exchange.  When people become successful, they naturally want to share that success with their peers so that they will be liked.  And with America’s prosperity, many people have felt guilty for that success compared to other places in the world that are struggling for the basics.  Left-leaning policies are commonly adapted to cover that gap because people feel they have the luxury of excess to entertain those thoughts. 

But when people don’t feel they have an excess, they quickly turn to themselves and their immediate needs for survival.  And that is what we are seeing now ahead of the 2024 election, and people are saying this time, as opposed to at times in the past, that if President Trump is not re-elected as President of the United States, we will fall into a Banana Republic.   Inflation is high, it’s hard for many people to buy gas and food, and their compassion for left-leaning ideas has eroded quickly from 2020 to 2024.  And I said it then, and I’ll continue to say it: COVID scared people because it was the first time that people saw what I have been warning about for years: the intentions of FEMA camps and having their Constitutional rights wholly taken from them.  And to have their jobs taken away, their president, their entire way of life.  It was very traumatic for many people; then, to add to all that an overt stolen election by invisible hands intending to cash in on all the communism that had been imported into our government structure, people were ready to hear what I had been warning about for decades.  Finally, it was natural for them.  And those communist plots are so well entrenched that they believe that in America, the same kind of communist controls were going to be acceptable, which was the whole strategy behind launching Kamala Harris in the first place as an alternative to Joe Biden.  People are finally seeing behind the skin color tricks and the ridiculous notion of the “first female president” when they see what that means during an interview with Bret Baier on Fox News.  It’s silly to think that anybody expected a closet campaign for President to work and that they would have control of the entire media to shape the story.  But they did; it was all in The Naked Communist by Cleon Skousen from the late 1950s. 

To answer the question about voting, yes, we can have this revolution where America retakes its power back from the globalists.  I have been reviewing President Trump’s books on his previous presidency and looking at all the pictures he has put in those books, such as the best-selling Save America which I think is just extraordinary as a work of art.  There are more pictures from that presidential perspective in Melania Trump’s new book too.  What’s unique about those books is that they give the world a seat at the table about who is running things because Trump met them all and knew them.  And what those pictures capture that the conspiracy theories miss is that the people in the world behind the globalist movement are frail and not very smart, which is why they gravitated to communism in the first place as a refuge to their personal deficiencies.  That is what has come out regarding Kamala Harris, who has now been forced to do interviews and abandon the hiding campaign that worked for Biden during Covid in the previous election.  The people behind globalism are not very smart or sinister once you get into a room with them and get them talking.  They are pretty easy to beat.  Their only real weapon has been concealment.  And now they have lost that.  So now that people have confirmed what has been going on with their country, they are willing to fight for it.  This is good because when President Trump is re-elected after what all these evil people have done to them, the American people will reward Trump with the kind of support he did not have the first time around.  Fundamental, revolutionary changes will be made because they have to be.  There must be penalties for trying to take over a country with communism.  And now that people see the truth for what it has always been, without the rosy lenses of compassion clouding their judgment, people are finally ready to do something about it, not just in supporting President Trump for president, but in helping the actions he will have to take to take back our country from the clutches of global communism.  I would say one of the most significant indicators of all this was how quickly the FAA gave SpaceX their permit after the last round of polling came out to show that Kamala Harris had no path to win the upcoming election, and essentially Elon Musk, the guy they had been punishing with government regulation, was going to be their new boss.  So they better stop with the games and give him a permit.  There are many millions of tyrannies like that which impact most Americans, and it’s time to put them all to an end.  And that end will come whether by vote or by force.  But it will come because people finally see its necessity and are ready for a much-needed change.

The History and Mistakes of Masons: Understanding why Never-Trumpers are failing all over the world

People are always anxious whenever the subject of Masons or Freemasonry is brought up because that indicates in popular culture the camouflage of conspiracy theories that many of these secret societies have used to hide their political manipulations over the years. And people naturally assume that they are made up of dark and evil forces who secretly control all our lives, and much of that has been on purpose to help sell their effectiveness in the world. But like all things, the truth is often a combination of many things, good and bad, and can’t be summed up easily with the definitions our public educations and media culture have given us. Instead, an expanded understanding of the world around us is required to understand what is really happening in the example of the massive Liz Cheney loss in Wyoming and the activism of Joe Biden abusing his authority with the FBI to break into a former president’s home in an attempt to eliminate a future political rival. And many people are still spinning from the effects of global government dominance regarding Covid, so they don’t really know which way is up these days. But it’s not too complicated if you understand what forces are at work. But yes, to explain all that, a general history of Masons in America and Europe must be understood, and to know that their goals, as they always have been, were to take the world into a global unity where eastern religions became the primary influence, just as it was in Egypt during the many thousands of years of rule there. Masons see Egypt as the ideal society, and the goal of the higher degrees has been to return to those eastern religions, and to a large degree, that is why America was formed in the first place. To escape the Roman Catholic persecutions in Europe and carry their ideas for a New Atlantis to the New World and build their ideal society. Ben Franklin was a Mason; George Washington was a Mason. Many of the founding fathers were, and it is accurate to say, America would not have happened without Masons. That is why there is a giant Egyptian obelisk just outside the White House in Washington D.C., the city of Masons and their dedication to the traditions of the Gnostics, the Cathars, the Knights Templars, and then finally, Freemasons. 

I’ve been in many Masonic temples, there is usually a large building in every city and community across America dedicated to Freemasonry, so it’s impossible to discuss anything political or religious without them being part of the conversation. Yet, they are never really included because they are secretive about their function. Masonic temples are often very Egyptian in their design and purpose, and it lures their initiates to continue with their studies for great wisdom by referring to one of the longest-running societies that we so far know about in the history of the world. But, they see themselves in two ways: freeing the world through education in ways that the Roman Catholics and western civilization have generally failed at up until the time of America’s westward expansion. But they also see themselves as the great philosopher kings of Plato’s Republic, working in the background and helping humanity guide itself along a productive life. And everything is fine until people don’t do what they expect them to do. From the perspective of the Masons, the American Revolution was a success story. Things worked out pretty well, and an excellent Constitution and Bill of Rights were formed based on the long failures of civilization up to that point in time. But the French Revolution turned out to be a disaster. Masons conducted their actions in secret for a good reason because in their past roles, as Knights Templars, Cathars and Gnostics, they were invariably hunted down and killed. So they began to plot the downfall of all world rulers through Freemasonry, which led directly to the American and French Revolutions. Because of the violence and failure of the French Revolution, because the French turned away from freedom and back toward monarchy not long after Napoleon was no longer emperor, they turned to Karl Marx for a new way to topple monarchies and top-heavy aristocracies, which is how Lenin was sent to Russia from Germany. And why to this day, the Desecrators of Davos operating through various masks of Marxism have involved themselves in the various trade guilds and dominate finance. It was always part of the plan from the beginning. Each generation would take a portion of the plan, and they would pass the baton to the next generation through the various Mason halls toward their goals of globalism and the eventual restoration of an Egyptian type of society, with them acting as the great wise advisors to guide mankind through the ages, as they saw things. 

But there was a little bump in the road. While the Masons were planning the overthrow of the colonies of Europe, and the rest of the Masons, including Napoleon and several of the Spanish leaders, were all on board with helping facilitate the utopia of Francis Bacon’s New Atlantis in the new world, the Louisiana Purchase was more of a plan than a calculated good deal, just as President Jackson had always wanted to take Florida from Spain. They gave it up without much of a fight for the same reasons. And so too was the Spanish American War where Santa Anna, the Mason was extinguished without much of a real fight. While they fought for their sovereign countries, they were all brother Masons. Like NFL teams playing against each other on Sunday, they may have played each other on the field. But they were all playing for the same NFL. In their quest for freedom from tyrant kings from Europe, they unleashed a new kind of human being in America, the gunslingers and expansionist adventurers who found freedom under the new Constitution and did not even want to listen to the philosopher kings of the high degree Masonic order. What we call the establishment is really a brotherhood of Masons who thought they were making a world of free and enlightened people, but once they arrived at their destination in America, they found, as they did during the French Revolution, that things got out of hand, and they are now unable to put it all back in the bottle again. And now, in the 2020s, after many thousands of years of struggle, they don’t understand why people would pick MAGA over their Masonic order, their philosopher-kings built by their Liberal World Order, the Seven Liberal Arts by way of education. Now you can understand why the Never Trumper movement hates Trump so much. Trump was not a Mason. He was not a product of their Liberal World Order. He was an ostentatious, materialist, capitalist, fearless, non-crying human being as far from Egyptian society as a person could get. This was not a person guided by the Star of the East; he did not worship Isis or schedule his day around horoscopes and the bright star of Sirius. He didn’t seek guidance from the supernatural to do things; he did them on his own and with extraordinary recklessness. So in that way, by empowering the West to overthrow the dictatorships of the world, as was the plan—then to use the West to rebuild the world by propping up China and reestablishing eastern religions that unite the world, Americans went their own way and even pushed away the Masons from their lives. And they picked Donald Trump and the MAGA movement over their thousands of years of plans handed from father to son to grandson through the ages to the ultimate rejection that we see today. And that is why that look of desperation was on Dick Cheney’s face when Wyoming was poised to reject his daughter in an election. And why the FBI is willing to break the law to preserve the more profound law they serve, the Masonic order that built them in the first place. And now it’s all falling apart, and they have no idea what to do about it.

The Message from the SWAMP: Voters are not in charge, the administrative state is

I’ve thought from the beginning that there was massive election fraud in the 2020 election. I watch these kinds of things intently and was watching the news coverage as the steal took place late in the night when people went to bed witnessing a sizable Trump lead, where even Vegas was calling it for Trump. Then in the morning, Biden suddenly had these huge spikes of voter infusions. I watch enough of these things to notice that something was very wrong with the performance of the vote counters, to say it lightly. At that early time, it wasn’t the evidence of voter fraud that we had to go on, but it was the continued behavior of the SWAMP itself, after the Durham Report, the two impeachments over nothing, the spying on the campaign, the actions of the FBI, the complicity of the media, we knew on election night November 3rd that they weren’t all just going to go away and suddenly give up. As I say all the time, judge people based on what they do, not what they say, and you’ll know the truth even in the most voracious lier. So in that regard, the election fraud was blatant, even if, at that moment, we weren’t sure to what extent. Now, after two years of trickling evidence, which grows by the day, there is no question that Trump had the election stolen from him, but worse than that, it was the real people’s pick that was stolen, and that is a problem far greater than the mess we find ourselves in now. We are seeing a conflict play out that goes back to before the Revolutionary War itself, the clash between the idea of America and the conformity of Europe, to the world suddenly being smashed together through technology in uncomfortable ways. The election problems of 2020 were about a lot more than just getting Trump out of the White House.

Essentially, by the morning of November 4th, the collection of bureaucrats, thieves, insurgents, and international bankers were saying with a smile on their faces, “you, the people, are not in charge. We, the administrative state, are, and there is nothing you can do about it.”  They stole the election to essentially protect the same premise that the War of 1812 was all about, can people govern themselves, or were they always to be at the mercy of the aristocratic administrative state types? The answer was evident in their actions. They would not live in a society where people ruled themselves because it invalidated everything they stood for as people. They were refusing to let people govern themselves, and if they had to be obvious about it, instead of hiding in the background allowing the poor fools to believe they were running things, then so be it. They dared us to challenge them and now are panicked by the results. Even going into the details of what happened over Covid, we saw a world thrown together that was run mainly by socialists and communists who were jealous of America in so many ways that they were going to destroy it any way they could. They no longer cared if people knew what they were up to or not. They had lost patience with the whole debate, and that’s why with smiles on their faces on November 4th, they felt utterly validated to declare that Trump had lost and people were just going to have to get over it. Their message to all of us was to put our masks on and shut up. And if you question the election in public, we’ll destroy your life, as they attempted to do with Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, and Mike Lindell.

I have always said that people, especially in America, will follow the rules until they no longer work. Even now, obviously, the government has been caught in not just stealing the 2020 election for its own reasons of self-preservation, but they murdered people behind the Covid social conditions, and they knew what they were doing as they were doing it, which will be the subject of much future material for me. The evidence in hindsight is quite clear to see the purposes for social distancing, masking, and mandatory vaccinations. The types of people who love the administrative state and their role in it were literally willing to kill to preserve it. So election fraud to them was a gift. At least people weren’t massively slaughtered in the process of a coup in the White House, and people should be happy about it. That’s why it was so terrifying to them what happened when voters with some impassioned instincts about not certifying a fake election stormed the capitol on January 6th in frustration by what they had witnessed. Several hundred thousand people had come to hear Trump speak at a Stop the Steal Rally at the White House, and that was terrifying to the administrative state, which had organized so many mass riots and caused so much damage during all of 2020. Even after a year of Covid, people were willing to come out into the cold to support President Trump or even the idea of him, a people’s pick. At the end of the day, a portion broke into the Capitol Building to let the politicians know there that they weren’t in charge; the people were. 

Many people have offered that the efforts of the January 6th Committee and the optics that have been shown on television are purely put on to hide the bad inflation numbers of Democrats controlling all three houses of our government. Or the many other missteps that are destroying the world, especially the liberal commitment to eradicating the economy of America to save the world from their religion of fanatics regarding climate change. Their actions on gas prices, food shortages, and other deliberate terrorist acts are far more radical than the terrorists who blew up the World Trade Center by running planes into them or the actions at WACO, Ruby Ridge, or Oklahoma City. The January 6th Committee is about more than anything anybody has so far put their mind around. It is about aspects of many things, but at its heart is the hatred of people who think they can rule themselves and not have their “betters” ruling over them for their own good because the answer to that question is one that the human race has never had to answer, except to leave places and to resettle in areas with less bureaucrats in them over the last 10,000 years. The human race collided for the first time because the planet was too small to any longer ignore the question. As Trump likes to call them, the Unselect Committee has one purpose and one purpose only, to ensure that the administrative state is in charge and that voters were not.

To become in charge, you had to be in the “in” group like they were. You couldn’t just rule yourself. They were happy to play along all this time and let us think we were in charge, so long as they pulled the strings. But after two elections of Trump, they had lost patience to play the game any longer, and they expected us to kneel to their power. And when we didn’t, then insisted that we were still in charge, like many did that day on January 6th, well, that was a bridge too far for them, and that’s where we find ourselves presently. They aren’t willing to give up power or what they think is power. And they will do anything to keep it, even kill if necessary. In that way, we know who we are dealing with, and there is no way that this all ends in peace.   The question is, can it end without lives lost. That will depend on the authenticity of the next election. People are willing to give elections a chance. But they will not be ruled by incompetent losers from the administrative state, and that for those who are, is the scariest thing in the world—not having power and knowing that the people of the world refuse to be ruled over by the administrative class.

A Report on the World Economic Forum 2022: They have bad cards and can’t hide the guilt of their crimes

To review this year’s World Economic Forum, from the Desecrators of Davos socialists, scum bags, and global tyrants, I would best sum it up by the harassment that the WEF police showed when they went after Jack Posobiec shortly after a podcast to the WarRoom on day one. Klaus Schwab and the gang didn’t like having Jack outside their Davos meeting, reporting the event to millions of people with the kind of anti-globalist discussion from the WarRoom. They are quite open to sharing what they are talking about at the World Economic Forum on YouTube. But they want to talk to the world, but they don’t want the world to talk back. Jack was fine after they accosted him and his crew, and he continued to report on the agenda events for the rest of the week, even going an hour or so to Geneva to report on the World Health Organization and the Biden deal to give away sovereignty to them in order to cover the next made up pandemic. There was a lot to consider in all these events, but many are wondering what it all means to them. So after watching all the coverage the way I do each year, I will have to say that this year was a bit different. The attempted arrest of Jack Posobiec sort of summed it all up; Klaus and the gang are worried. Their game was off this year in a big way, and they were undoubtedly feeling the pressure. And they don’t do well under pressure. 

I tend to think of all things in life like a poker game, and these guys had bad cards, and they weren’t doing a good job of hiding it. If you read Klaus Schwab’s books, you will quickly know that he’s likely insane. His views were formed in the vacuum of intellectual debate. All the people who go to Davos to participate in the Forum he organizes lean to the extreme political left. They find security among themselves in their schemes for global domination. But those schemes fall apart quickly when opposition confronts them because their ideas are not very well fleshed out. Klaus Schwab and the other Desecrators of Davos have been doing this kind of thing for a long time. But they have made their global moves over the last few years, and for the first time, the masses know about them. A year ago, there weren’t many people in the world who could even tell you who Klaus Schwab even was. But now, after a couple of books, Woke, Inc, and Glenn Beck’s The Great Reset, now many millions of people around the world are onto what the World Economic Forum has been up to, and they are now paying attention in ways that they never have before. And that was best reflected by the WarRoom coverage hosted by Jack Posobiec. Socialist countries, which all of Europe essentially is, don’t like the idea of freedom of the press or even any form of free speech. They want to be the world’s managers and want the world to be sheep. They want control, domination, and a very powerful administrative state. And there is no plan B. 

The Desecrators of Davos are not ready for prime time. They may own the Biden administration, which they clearly control. But that administration is not respected by the people of America, and that was not part of their plan, and they are not sure what to do with it. After watching many hours of Davos coverage, the sum of all the parts was that they didn’t know what to do next but to complain about conspiracy theorists and anti-vaccine types pushing back against the Bill Gates agenda, who was there to speak his part of the story in very unconvincing ways. And what was most alarming, given the radicalism of Bill Gates, was that he wasn’t the craziest one on the panel. The big administrative state agenda that the members of the Forum abundantly communicated functioned like academics theorizing in a classroom of their peers, without understanding how they were going to sell it to any kind of public. It’s like that scenario where you take someone on a date, you take them to bed, but the next day it’s like, “what now? Do we get married? Do we buy a house? Do we have kids? Or do we just sleep together, which is a pretty pointless relationship?” All the effort from the Davos people was in getting to bed with each other without a plan on what would happen the next day. And they certainly didn’t want any American media there to report just how ill-prepared they were.  

They are pretty far into the process to be so ill-prepared, which brings us back to poker. They have gone all-in with some really bad cards hoping to bluff their way into a victory. But many in the world have held their cards, especially in the United States. The Desecrators of Davos are certainly behind the election fraud schemes in America; Mark Zuckerberg, this time, paid the money to steal the election through mules shown in the movie 2000 Mules. He’s one of the Davos types. And Bill Gates made his move by buying up the media to push the dream of the administrative state; the vaccine mandates to cure a virus that they made in the Wuhan lab with the help of the American Department of Defense. There are a lot of very bad characters who got caught with their hands in the cookie jar.

The only reason that none of them have gone to jail yet is that they have so much money. Collectively, they have bought the political system in America and other countries, and they own the media like a cheap whore in a sweaty brothel in Nevada. As long as the drinks keep flowing, the whores will love you. The moment any of that stops, the whores will move on to a new love. But what they did to the world to give the administrative state more power over the sovereignty of all global people was well planned, evil, and ruthless. But it was also done in a vacuum of thought that does not hold up well at all in real-life scenarios. Clearly, the Desecrators of Davos people thought that Joe Biden would be accepted in America as an alternative to Trump and that they’d gain control of the Beltway in America, but that’s not happening. And they don’t know what to do about it. The world called their bluff, and now they are holding their weak cards sheepishly, not sure what to do next. Personally, I think it’s pretty funny. These people have ruined countless lives; they’ve killed people, especially in what they did with Covid and the suppression of Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine to stop the global pandemic they created for the purpose of all these global takeover plans. Laughing at them is perfectly healthy as a reaction to how they’ve played the game. But to know how to deal with them based on what we are seeing, they are not as scary as they appear. They are holding a losing hand, and they know it. So, it’s up to us to clean their clock and make an example of them. We are justified to do it, and it’s the only way to deal with their intentions against America so as to alter their behavior for the future.

The Lofty Expectations of the Ohio Statehouse: Senator George Lang is a politician it can be proud of

It was a great treat for me to get a day to visit the Ohio Statehouse in Columbus to see a good friend of mine, Senator George Lang. It was good for me to put things in perspective as some of the issues of the hour are intense and changing by the minute. The Ohio Statehouse is a grand vestige dedicated to a republic form of government, and it was built with love and ambition. I think all statehouses try to do the same thing. The Ohio Statehouse is a special place dedicated to intelligence, study, and the difficulties of a republic that spans thousands of years in the past. It’s a place of ambition and hope reflected in the Greek architecture, the various marble ornaments, and symbolic statues. Whenever I go there, I am reminded that much of the hard work that is done in politics, even when it often falls so short of expectations, is worth the effort. Even when people complain about the cesspool of politics and the corrosive elements of lobbyists, I see the work that goes on in places like the Ohio Statehouse as the best that there is in the world. I’ve been to the Parliament in London and other places where the work of politics is done, and I see the purity of the Ohio Statehouse as something special, unique. I am possessive that it exists to do the work all people in Ohio need done. Even if people disagree on what that work is, the place is there to make sure it has a chance to happen. 

Another friend of mine took a picture of me on the House floor, and that’s what I was thinking. I don’t usually get sentimental about those types of things, but I had just had a good meeting with Senator Lang with the door closed. I was very happy to hear what he was working on. But more than that, I saw the same eyes alive and well within him that I have known for many years as he was one of the original members of the West Chester Tea Party. George is still that same person who gives out copies of Atlas Shrugged at Christmas and believes in small government, fiscal responsibility, and a business-first political strategy which is the key to all wealth-building in any culture. George Lang is a good person, a very good person. And as I was thinking about the Ohio Statehouse and all its ambitions, most of the time, we resent politics because we give politicians all these great tools to work with, like the Ohio Statehouse.   Most of the time, the people we send to the congress and senate fall short of our expectations, leading to perpetual disappointment. But George Lang is one of those exceptions. He actually lives up to the lofty expectations. The building seems to have been built specifically for people like him.

I say all those nice things because I had an extended chance to watch him work with other members of the House and Senate. And to interact with Governor DeWine. George is friendly, engaging; he’s a great salesman. But while he is doing all those things, he’s also guarded and measured. He’s a hard nut to crack for a lobbyist because it’s hard to tell where to get a hook into him. What is the vice of George Lang? What makes him tick? Where is he vulnerable? It’s one thing to be sociable and even polite. George has been involved in Columbus politics for many years now. When our schedules match up, I speak to him quite a bit here and there, but he’s a busy guy. So, to be honest, I wasn’t sure what to expect in his office with the door closed and talking about the business that needs to happen for the state. To talk about the upcoming primaries, his Business First Caucus, politics back home in Butler County, Ohio. But what I found was a person who loves doing a good job, that had not been swept away by any trace of corruption, and the same wide-eyed person I have known since he was a trustee in West Chester. And with all that has been going on, where the world presents us with disappointments at every juncture, especially in politics, that was refreshing. 

In that House chamber and its lofty contents, it was apparent that most of the members went to Columbus with big goals and that they were getting swept away by the ornate atmosphere. Just before that photograph, I had just heard from a politician who wanted me to know how smart he was and that he was reviewing the legal complications of a land purchase for a solar farm, filled with all kinds of rancid ESG requirements that he thought were great. He was a guy who had been chewed up and spit out of the meat grinder, and I could see that the chamber walls were almost ashamed of him. He did not live up to the expectations. But those big stone walls and finely carved woodwork would see many more like him over the years, as they had. But when George was in that room, the actual chamber seemed happy. There was a person worthy of the Statehouse. There was someone who would do the work and, when done, dash off to his wife and grown children at every opportunity. And I think that is the secret to George Lang working there. The Statehouse was built for people like him, who love their country, their state, and their communities, but more than anything, their families. When the rubber hits the road, that’s how he has managed to survive Columbus and live up to the lofty expectations that come with business there. 

It wasn’t just because I like George. Governor DeWine was walking around shaking hands and taking pictures. Most everyone he interacted with couldn’t wait to lick the shoes of DeWine and pander to him for the powerful seat he sat in. Those same people might badmouth DeWine the minute they were away from him, but when shaking hands and taking pictures, they were like little girls at a pop-rock concert backstage. Power was a seductive force, and they were undoubtedly under its influence when around the Governor. But not George Lang. While respectful, he stayed very true to himself and represented his district exceptionally well. And it wasn’t an act. I wasn’t always somewhere that George could see me. It was just how he was, and I was proud of him. It gave me hope that all the hard work in preserving our republic, first at the state level, then at the federal level, was worth it. That day at the Statehouse is how it’s supposed to be in politics. It’s an example of how to do it right. We build the temples to a republic that has taken us thousands of years to perfect. And our government in Ohio is supposed to be contentious. It’s not supposed to be a fraternity of consensus builders. The Statehouse was built to debate and flush out the best and brightest ideas from the weakest. And over the many decades that the Ohio Statehouse has been there, it has suffered many disappointments in the elected representatives who have gone there to do our work. But George Lang isn’t one of them. If the Statehouse could smile, it surely would when George walks into a room, for that is the reason the place exists.

Mitch McConnell and His “Conceal the Steal”: Caught ‘Red Handed’ selling out to communist China

With both Mike Pence and Mitch McConnell recently coming out as a way of justifying the focus of making January 6th into a big deal, when in fact, the real causes of the problem were ignored entirely, one of them is much worse than the other. With Pence, it’s quite evident that he is naïve and wants to believe in the political system, and to him, a challenge to that system is disruptive. His support of the “conceal of the steal” of the 2020 election is similar to how he might react to people questioning scenes from the Bible. He certainly doesn’t have the mind to think critically about matters of faith, and he wants to have confidence in our government. It’s beyond comprehension for him to consider just how broken our government is. But McConnell, on the other hand, started his time in the senate with a new marriage to Elaine Chao, working with her father James in a shipbuilding business that the Chinese State Shipbuilding Corporation contributed directly to the family shipping business, where its fleet expanded incredibly over the next several decades. Elaine’s father had been classmates with the president of China at the time, Jiang Zemin. We are talking about a marriage of connections here, where the purpose of the union was power and control. James wanted to secure his shipping business. His daughter married an American senator, and China’s leadership wanted very much to get a foot in the door of American politics at the highest levels for their own strategic needs. The old crow, McConnell, knows how the game works and how all this Chinese business evolved over time, with him at the center of it. When Trump lost the election due specifically to political corruption allowing the steal to occur, which is now well documented, Mitch knows he’s lying when he says the “election was legally certified and fair.” No, instead, Mitch played his part in crippling America to protect the family business, which was at the center of his marriage to Elaine. They wanted to get rid of Trump as much as everyone else in Washington D.C. wanted, for all the same reasons because they had sold out their country and empowered China to take over America by selling us all out for easy cash.

Peter Schweizer’s new book is easy to get, called Red Handed. I bought my copy off a big stack at Costco, so it’s not like it’s a massive book from a fringe right-winged conspiracy.   Peter is president of the Government Accountability Institute in Washington D.C. and has a staff of researchers looking into everything he reported in that fantastic book. I’ve read all of Peter’s books over the years, many times. And I’ve already read this new one many times over now, and let me just say; it’s got the goods. Schweizer does what the First Amendment was meant to do and allows freedom of speech to keep pressure on the political class to check power at the door. The result is books like Red Handed, which goes into vast details on the level of corruption that people like Mitch McConnell, Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerbucks, Labron James, and the Biden crime family have conducted in direct relationship with China, our known enemy. When Mitch McConnell started his relationship with China, it was widely viewed that the communist country might become more like America. But over time, they have stated quite bluntly that they intend to destroy the West and resurrect their status in the world as the dominating global power. And they intend to bring down America by cutting off the head of what they think our leadership is and destroying the country from within. All that is documented with evidence in Peter’s book. All that and much more. There simply is no excuse for people not to know this information as easily as Schweizer has made it for people to see. It’s not like people have to go to a library somewhere to do all this research on their own. It’s available next to the eggs and milk at one of the most popular shopping destinations in the country. Read it, and yes, it will shock you. Buy one and give it to all your family and friends. Buy several copies. You might just save their lives. 

But McConnell knows everything that’s happening in Washington. He doesn’t have to read Peter’s book; he could have written the book himself. When McConnell participated in the election fraud of 2020 by trying to rush the process through, he was simply protecting what he had built over many decades of corrupt politics. He didn’t go out and marry a nice girl from Kentucky. Without question, there was plenty to choose from. No, he married Elaine, whose father just so happened to be friends with the president of China at the time and knew they wanted to use him for the family business. He was a willing participant in that corruption, and he is more than guilty of suppressing the intentions of the Chinese government at the expense of his own country. Like many in Washington and within the media have done, they have made their deals with the communists who gave away wealth easily for the partnership. Mitch married his second wife, knowing how things work in Washington; it’s about connecting people who have gained power through looted wealth. Elaine was in banking, and moving finance meant power in the Swamp, so he got into the family business fully awake, which has undoubtedly impacted the way he governs. Understandably, when Trump was in the White House, he put Mitch’s wife in his cabinet as Transportation Secretary to align the power couple to his administration. But behind the scenes, the two would plot against Trump at every turn that would make Shakespeare blush. 

When Mitch could have stood for election integrity, or even the origins of Covid, he has punted every time in obvious protection of China and its relationship with Beltway politics. Not only does he know about all the scams he’s been involved in, but he knows about all the others as well. He is fully aware of just how deep the Chinese communist party is entangled with his fellow senators, lobbyists, and media members, and he has done nothing about it. That’s because he can’t because if he did, all those ships that were built for his father-in-law would suddenly be called into question. They weren’t free; they came with a price tag. And that price tag was to put his daughter in the bed of a powerful senator, give him a little of the cheese, and shut him up for the rest of his life, which has been the case. And when McConnell had a chance to stick a knife in Trump’s back, he did so, not for political ideology, but for the protection of the system that made him rich and more powerful. In a world where that kind of power is valued, Mitch McConnell put himself at the top by selling out to China. And even if he wanted to be critical of China now, he couldn’t because he has gone too far with them and seen too much. When we want to know what corruption politics is, Mitch McConnell is the face of it. And when he said that the 2020 election was “legally certified,” what he really means is that he was in on the “steal to conceal” because what they had to protect was all this vast corruption that they had involved themselves in to sell us all out, to the enemy. China.

Justin Trudeau Runs and Hides: Socialists are easy to beat, all you have to do is confront them

I don’t know that it was a big secret, but if there was any doubt about how to defeat socialists in general, what has been going on in Canada is the recipe that will work everywhere. Truckers protesting the vaccine mandates of Justin Trudeau, the socialist prime minister there, gathered outside his home. It scared him so bad that he suddenly came down with Covid and fled to an undisclosed location to avoid the mob. At times, it had the feel of the French Revolution, even though it never descended into actual violence or even the January 6th incident in Washington D.C. One true thing about all socialists is that they became that way out of their timid natures. As liberals, they seek the protection of what they think of, like a big, parental government. And from behind the leg of that parent, they lash out at their siblings as if suddenly empowered with strength. But when they realize that the parental government can’t protect them, it is the scariest thing in the world to them. That is how American politicians reacted when they realized that President Trump was not the leader of the MAGA movement, he was the result of it, and that the people who protested their corrupt government on January 6th, 2021, were not shackled to the rules of society when angered, it was terrifying to them. That is the same kind of fear that Justin Trudeau was reacting to when a mob of protestors took their action to his front door. The Prime Minister got into politics as a form of protection from the real world, and this was not how the script was supposed to read. So he retreated and lashed out in predictable ways, which showed the world, just how little power these little tyrants really have when things start getting tough. Only through deceit can socialists have power; once people are on to them, the house of cards falls apart rather quickly.

I warned everyone about Justin Trudeau back in 2015 when he was first elected as Prime Minister of Canada. I told everyone here and everywhere that I spoke that the kid was a socialist and was part of this global script to remake the world into a socialist one, as indicated by Socialist International at the time. Over the years, of course, that group of globalists who have that script written in the Carroll Quiggly book Tragedy and Hope so blatantly has changed their names many times. These days that whole effort has migrated over into the World Economic Forum, which meets in Davos each year to plot the destruction of the world by controlling governments like Wild West train robbers from beyond a country of their own, all to bring them down into the control of the United Nations, which they manipulate through banking. At the time, Barack Obama was their guy in America, and Justin Trudeau was the outright member of the socialist party in Canada who was put there to do their deeds. I pointed it out; many thought it was a vast conspiracy unrooted in reality. But of course, it turned out to be all true.

Additionally, most of the similar leadership positions in all of Europe were like the socialist Justin Trudeau. Justin’s hook was that he was a nice-looking young man who made women feel safe supporting him. Men had to go along if they didn’t want to alienate their women, and in that way, Canada adopted socialism ever so subtly. I immediately noticed the turn toward authoritarian government behind the smiling face at the border at Niagra Falls, which I like to visit every so often. Suddenly the border went from a popular tourist spot to a pretty cold check of authoritarian control, a preview of what was to come when the United Nations and the Great Reset crowd unleashed Covid to the world for the purpose of a complete socialist takeover of the world behind the shared threat of a virus outbreak, hatched by Dr. Fauci through the Department of Defense in direct partnership with the Chinese government. 

Yet, you won’t hear me talking about how scary any of these losers are. Socialists become socialists because they are weak. They are timid people, which is why they were so quick to adopt mask mandates from out-of-control governments. As liberals, they are conflict-averse and always look for that big parental leg to shield them from their actions in the world. And it’s straightforward to defeat them. Just confront them and watch them wither away like the Wicked Witch from The Wizard of Oz. The real secret to stopping socialism and communism in the world is to confront the bullies hiding behind those parental legs of government. Once socialists like Justin Trudeau realize that government can’t protect them from bad decisions and people angry at authority, they can do nothing. There will come the point where the Chinese people figure this out about their communist government, the overly parental figures there where the few rule the many quite tyrannically. It is not like the Chinese to think for themselves. Still, once unemployment can’t overcome the nanny state problems of an economy built entirely on looted wealth, people will be mad, just as they were in Canada, Washington D.C. and many other places in the world erupting in anger over an authoritarian government more interested in telling people what to do than actually solving problems. When people realize this, the socialists and communists always fall. Because that delicate balance between fear and lack of opportunity quickly takes over reason, social collapse is always imminent. 

What is happening in Canada can and will happen everywhere. I wish people would have listened to me six or seven years ago about Trudeau. It was about that time that I put my support behind Trump because I could see how things were stacking up. Many people like me saw what the socialists and communists in the world were doing, and we wanted to make our own declaration in defense of capitalism; what better way to do it than to elect a guy who fully embraced capitalism and lived in a golden tower that he built in New York City with a beautiful supermodel wife. That was who we wanted to run our government; we didn’t want these Barack Obama, Justin Trudeau socialists that the world wanted to give us. Looking back on it now, isn’t it obvious why they had to get rid of President Trump? He wasn’t part of their script. The world didn’t recognize the American concept of self-government. They had it in their mind that they’d give us someone, and we would like it, just as they did in Canada. But when things don’t go well, and people want recourse for the injustice done to them, like the vaccine mandates in Canada, then when people do rise up, and Trudeau doesn’t have a script that tells him how to solve that problem, the great fear emerges for everyone involved. Socialists and communists do not know what to do. And it is there that they always fail, time and time again, and always will. People always have leverage over the administrative masses, and when the socialists realize that there is no parental leg to hide behind, it is the worst thing in the world.
