What the New Trump Ad Says: Democrats don’t know what they are doing

This Trump ad put together after both of the national conventions tells a good story that accurately frames the situation. I have been writing and speaking for a very long time about how out of touch liberals are to the heart of human beings. One of the best examples of this has been the makers of the new Star Wars movies where they had all the tools in the world to produce a good movie but have destroyed the brand of the movie franchise anyway with an over emphasis on social justice and racial and sexual politics. I personally see it all the time, especially in the business world where corporate participants have simply been trained by too many left leaning institutions, like college, and it has numbed their hearts to the ways of human enterprise, and they are lost as to what to do without group consensus. Liberalism destroys leadership, and leadership is what makes action possible, so its no wonder that for people like Joe Biden and Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton—all of them, that they believe the best days of America are behind it and that the purpose of government is to manage the decline. But in Trump we elected a builder, a person who knows how to get things done, and put his personal touch on the Republican Convention which shows.

Democrats tried to use coronavirus to put limits on Trump’s campaign freedom trying to trick him into adhering to the Covid-19 rules that they made up to provide strength to their limits. They felt that if they could dull Trump’s creativity and energy that they might have a chance at this election so they made a big deal about the in-person convention that was supposed to be held in North Carolina. Then when Trump found a away around their opposition by moving the convention to Jacksonville, Florida they tried to use the coronavirus spikes as a way to push Trump toward a virtual convention like they were planning. That left Trump to do the convention largely from his home, which happens to be the White House. Democrats asked for it, and Trump did what he always does, he found a creative solution that was not limited to the tight controls of government. If Joe Biden was going to work from his home, Trump would too which would satisfy the critics. But in the end it worked out well for Trump because it helped him show the world that he was the occupant of the White House and that he had all the energy and creativity to stay there.

This more than shows the benefits of thinking outside the box, but it demonstrates emphatically why this new Republican Party is so much better than the old one and why Democrats are hopelessly devoted to failure. America is all about swagger, creativity and tenacity, which is why capitalism works and socialism doesn’t. You can’t have a bunch of leeches living off a system of economics and expect it to work. Capitalism needs constant vigor to continue to push competition and invention toward new objectives and the Democrats have rejected all those elements. At least in the past with Democrats like JFK, they were at least pointing to the stars and wanting to go there. These modern Democrats simply want socialism and communism and hope that if they play their cards right that they’ll be in the ruling class administration. That’s not what Trump wants, he’s already won at life, he’s achieved things and is proud of what he has accomplished and now as president he wants to share that enthusiasm for others to feel. What’s wrong with that? Not a thing, its what we should expect out of all politicians. And Trump wants to win this election like he does all things, giving us a full example of ultimately why conditions in America have improved under Trump. A passion for winning is the beginning of any success.

Yet there is more said in that Trump ad than most people realize, Democrats expected to win this election by defining the rules of conduct which they control, then forcing everyone else to adhere to them. That’s how we ended up with the Covid-19 reaction, is that liberal “experts” set limited ground rules which were controlled by a centralized authority that severely limited the output of the nation economically. Which is precisely why socialism never works anywhere and communism is a complete failure. Democrats point to China and says that communism can work, but they are wrong. China lives off the lives of others, they do not do for themselves. They steal American business ideas and technology and use their vast labor force to produce everything cheaper. The lack of self-direction in their economy is obvious, where even with over a billion people and vast plots of land, they still trail behind the GDP of America. A free people are much more efficient and creative than a people dominated by too many rules and regulations. Democrats had to live by the rules they created with the convention, where Trump worked around the rules and the results were obvious. One convention was certainly better than the other—by a lot.

This election is about rules and freedom, and they do not go well together. Democrats believe that an overly managed society is the path to prosperity, and when it doesn’t come easily, they point to racial diversity and sex to garner improvement. But the lesson they have never learned is that economics is a measurement of creativity, a society of free people who all have equal opportunities to be successful is the best way to arrive at a fair and just society which is how Trump was able to parade a long line of very diverse people to the convention to say great things about him for days on end without pause. There wasn’t a weak spot in the entire convention whereas the Democrats came across as a telethon at 2 am in the morning. Ultimately tribalism is a liberal concept and like the chieftains of old modern liberals believe that rules make a society great. By cutting off the head of a captured prisoner the Mayans thought that the gods would bring them rain for a harvest, or that the many Indians of North America could appeal to the spirits for passage into various phases of life with a little dance around the campfire. And modern Democrats believed that appeasing an invisible enemy in Covid-19 with face masks would save them from certain death, and shutting down the economy to appease the viruses’ ego might help make it go away.

Republicans like Trump believe in creating and using their imaginations to drive impulse to action. They aren’t waiting for the appeal of any gods; they are of the belief that immortality is present in creation and that mankind can shape their own destiny which is where success comes from. Back to the Star Wars example of the old movies versus the new and why Bob Iger at Disney even with the vast resources at his disposal was unable to duplicate what George Lucas did. Achievement in life is not about skin color, sex or group think—adhering to the rules of a tribal council. Rather, it is in individuals who want to win at life who do shape the rules of the universe and point the way into the future. And you can tell by that ad that Donald Trump wants to win this election and for those of us who also like to win, the parameters of victory are obvious.

Covid-19 is Over: The evidence of the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally and Republican Convention of 2020

You can tell a lot about something by understanding the psychology of the way people write it. It is important to remember that most of the young reporters out there, working for The Hollywood Reporter, Forbes, USA Today, CNN are young kids in their 20s and 30s with a very shallow depth of experience. Many of them are dried up creek beds who partied too much in college instead of the wit and wisdom of a deep ocean of knowledge, so they have a herkie jerky style about them that is easily detected in the way they use adverbs and adjectives in a sentence. And the best thing that reveals the psychology of an event like Covid-19 in 2020 is pressure that challenges the assumptions presented by the governments of the world, intellectual challenges that reveal the truth when the goal has been pandemonium and the end of the world as we know it. That pressure is coming from two main sources, first the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally that was held at the beginning of August and has been over for weeks now where riders were exposed heavily to the sun for vast amounts of time in the thousands without social distancing nor wearing the stupid masks. The second has been the Trump administration where at the Republican Convention this year the pressure was to do a virtual event like the Democrats, but instead Trump held it mostly at the White House and with crowds of people watching without much social distancing and very little masks. Then to finish off the week Trump had a hanger rally where many thousands packed together close to watch him speak for essentially a 5th straight night and the pressure on liberals has been apocalyptic to say the least.

The statements politically from Governor Kristi Noem of South Dakota and President Trump has been essentially, Covid-19 is over, get back to work. I don’t blame Trump for listening to the World Health experts initially. Nobody knew if Covid-19 was really a thing. I think he had the same suspicions as I did, but nobody could afford to take a chance if millions of lives were truly in danger. But after a few months he had it figured out that Covid-19 was purely political from day one. Sure, there was a coronavirus floating around like the common cold does, and like everything else, including poison ivy or bee stings, some people reacted badly to Covid-19 and died. But generally, the virus was a nothing burger—and in most cases a completely made up fiction that was purely political to serve the needs of Democrats who had a very weak platform and a terribly weak candidate in Joe Biden in an election year where literally the entire world wanted to get rid of Donald Trump from the presidency. Looking back on the history of the reporting on Covid-19 I seriously doubt the death reporting numbers that we do have on the subject, let alone all the other statistics. Most everything about Covid-19 has been false, and greatly inflated to tell a story about danger that might change the nature of the election, and in the process, they have destroyed millions of real lives and jobs costing all of us trillions of dollars. All to essentially get Joe Biden elected and to destroy Trump’s chances at a second term.

I have been using the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally as my own kind of thermometer to check the real temperature of the effects of the virus and it proved what I had suspected all along, the intent behind the curtain was all show. As CNN reported and MSN which was then picked up by Reuters all written by little kids afraid of their own shadows who drink lattés like they are going out of style and live off yogurts due to their overly sensitive stomachs, out of a half a million people they could only find around 100 cases they could trace back to the Sturgis event across eight states. And even those cases could be considered anomalies. Ignoring all the government rules, Sturgis showed that all the concerns and panic about Covid-19 was complete bullshit exposing all the advocates of danger with naked revelations that was all too embarrassing for them. Sturgis has been over now for weeks, well more than the most rigorous 14 days of quarantine that the CDC had been recommending, so there was never going to be a mass spread from the event leaving health professionals embarrassed by their alarmism over the rally. Before Sturgis I had panicky people from the left sending me notes indicating that there would be massive stacks of body bags from the dead people at Sturgis and believe me, they believed every word of what they were saying. Of course, the mass deaths never happened and the people at Sturgis enjoyed their life and moved on.

One thing that was very curious was that after the CDC very quietly revised its guidelines suggesting that asymptomatic people may not need to be tested at all sent Disney’s Bob Iger into a tailspin of doomsday pandering. Iger is a Democrats after all and Disney has paid a heavy price for getting suckered into the whole Covid-19 thing. Movie productions have been shut down, park attendance has been horrendous. People don’t want to deal with the stupid masks in 90 degree heat and the thermo testing they do at the entry to the parks have been very intrusive, costing Disney a lot of money—just to maintain a political façade that people like Bob Iger and California’s Gavin Newsom are completely in on. Iger uncharacteristically was vocal about the CDC calling the decision “horrifying.” Yet Iger meant to imply that people would die from Covid-19 if everyone didn’t get tested as they have been, but his reaction is simply a shit shot from midcourt in hoping to keep the story alive for a while longer, until the election was over. As a liberal he wants Trump defeated and he has already baked in the cost to Disney as a company which should make the shareholders very concerned. If the world goes back to normal, which is without masks and social distancing, he has not positioned his company to thrive in that environment and it upsets him greatly, in a way that is horrifying to him. But certainly not to the rest of us. He gambled politically with Covid-19 and people like him are coming up embarrassingly wrong.

The biggest giveaways in all this reporting has come from the post-reporting of the Sturgis Rally where most of the participants completely ignored the government mandates. Those reporters were quick to point out that there were only 460,000 participants this year instead of the normal 500,000—attendance was down by 40,000 which meant that some people were scared away from the rally which the reporters considered a victory for the “state” position. It lets readers in on the intent of Covid-19 from the beginning which Democrats had been hoping for during this election year, it was in their power and ability to scare people away from voting for Trump and having a means to shut down economic activity and push the nation toward Chinese style communism. And many people like Bob Iger of Disney went all in on that investment and steered their companies toward that outcome which completely came unraveled by Sturgis riders and Trump supporters in August of 2020. Now there is a long dash toward November without a population terrified of Covid-19 exposing Joe Biden and all Democrats to a massive backlash and its too late for them to change direction for the eventual detriment that is to come. Isn’t all that very interesting, I think it is.
