We Have Free Elections Because of Guns: Criminals know who has them, and who doesn’t

When on Meet the Press recently, President Trump was asked why Democrats didn’t steal this election, too, as they had the one in 2020, as if to insist that his statements about that previous election were a provoking conspiracy theory.  Trump said simply that he thought the election was too big to rig this time, which is a good, honest statement.  But it’s not the rest of the story.  It’s only part of the reason why Democrats were not able to steal this 2024 election the way they had 2020, and likely, many other elections leading up to Trump’s first term in the White House.  The truth is, it’s guns that make a free society possible.  Without the threat of guns, our government, especially this last one run by Joe Biden and his gangs of thugs and criminal-driven losers, would have taken over everything.  Without a society of guns, there would be no freedom.  The bad guys would move to take over all of society and rule from fear if given even an inch of opportunity.  So, to answer the rest of the question regarding Trump’s Meet the Press interview, why didn’t Democrats steal this last election, or that they tried but couldn’t get away with it this time?  Or, why was the election too big to rig?  What kept the election too small to overcome Trump?  And that answer is guns.  A society that has high gun ownership and is willing to use them at a moment’s notice.  Guns force the government to stay somewhat honest, not because they are inclined to do so, but because they fear a public that shoots and kills them the moment they get out of control.  We cannot have honest elections without the bad guys fearing an angry public that is willing to use guns to stop their evil intentions.

I had the opportunity to host many people this past week who are not from West Chester.  They came from all over the country, and guns were in the news.  One of the news stories was the UnitedHealthcare CEO, who was gunned down in the streets of New York.  That provoked a conversation about West Chester, Ohio, considered one of the safest areas in the nation.  But there was an attempted break-in and the resident shot the perpetrator just for standing on his balcony at an apartment complex.  And the comments were, “West Chester isn’t very safe because there was just a shooting.”  And speaking from much experience, I clarified that guns were critical in both cases.  There are many criminals who would love to break in and rob people blind in Butler County, Ohio, and Mason, places criminals know have much money and lots of things to steal and innocent lives to ruin.  But they don’t because they are respectful of the law, leaving everyone alone.  No, they are bad, vicious people who would rob, rape, and murder anybody, anywhere, anytime, if they could get away with it, just as there were plenty of people who would have stolen this 2024 election if they could have gotten away with it.  But the bad guys know that fundamentally, Americans have many guns, and if they do break the law, it’s not the prosecution of those crimes that is their most significant risk; it’s surviving the crime.  And that West Chester is safe because guns provide a deterrent.  I had just returned with my guests from downtown Cincinnati, and they were talking about the news stories they had noticed upon visiting. I had driven them through some of the worst neighborhoods in the city to show them the policy contrast.  Places where there was a lot of gun ownership.  And places that had policies against guns that had allowed, by default, crime to grow in the power void. 

The killing of the  UnitedHealthcare CEO was another example.  It is foolish, no matter how civil you think society is, to walk down any street, anywhere, without a gun.  Now, in the case of  Brian Thompson, the killed CEO, he was shot in the back deliberately, and it’s hard to defend against that kind of attack.  He was just walking along the sidewalk, and he was shot unexpectedly and without warning.  He should have been more aware of his surroundings.  But part of the scouting report on making a killing like that is whether the shooter believes they will get away with the crime if they perform the task.  The shooter was not concerned that Brian Thompson would have turned around and shot back if he missed or didn’t hit his target ruthlessly.  People are not honest; you cannot have a lawless society based on trust.  To have rules, you must be able to enforce them immediately at the point of occurrence.  The court system is not fast enough to deal with all the crimes, and the criminals know it.  Too many criminals work hard to be bad people and hope to take advantage of your trust to commit crimes and enrich themselves at your expense.  It isn’t brilliant to expect otherwise.  There should always be a preparedness for violence against you by anybody.  And the best way to stop it is by carrying deadly force everywhere.  And forcing the bad guys to stay honest and to leave you alone.  If Brian Thompson had been carrying a gun and were willing to use it, he would probably be alive right now.  When the target is armed, it is much harder to shoot them for many reasons. 

That goes back to our discussion about why one region is safer and why the ratio isn’t that one place has better laws than others.  It comes down to how much gun ownership is available and to what reach people have them.   Gun-free zones are hazardous places, statistically.  The more guns you have in society, the less violence you have.  And to my point, that story about the break-in in West Chester was good.  It reminds other criminals of what they already know but makes it fresh in their minds.  That if they are just standing on someone’s balcony at an apartment complex, they could be shot and killed.  Protection of private property is the key to a civil society, and the word gets out quickly.  Don’t abuse people’s property and their sense of self-preservation.  Or they can, and will, be shot and killed.  So that news story was helpful.  Occasionally, bad guys do need to get shot to remind the hoards of other criminals that they should not break into people’s homes or inflict violence upon them in any way.  Because without guns around under the care of private citizens, criminals get pretty bold.  And that is the same regarding honest elections.  Those who would seek to steal a vote and alter the nature of a free people to pick their government will try to steal elections if they do not fear people with guns preventing them from doing it.  And that this 2024 election was too big to rig because there were too many guns from angry people who were onto the scam.  So, Democrats couldn’t get enough votes to steal this election as they had others in the past.  The limits to their power were in gun ownership, and that kept the bad guys from stealing this last election, and why we finally have President Trump going back to the White House.  We have free elections because of guns.

The Rejection of Freakshow Politics: Democrats had Joe Rogan, and they lost him because they had terrible messaging

There is a lot of talk by Democrats about what could have been in their messaging that could have caused them to win during this last election cycle.  And with Hunter Biden getting his pardon, one that everyone saw coming, there is a belief that he, or some other Democrat, could run a podcast to compete with Joe Rogan and that if only they had someone as popular on the left, they could sell their message.  Well, here’s the deal: Democrats lost because they made themselves the “Freakshow Party,” the political party of broken toys from Misfit Island, and their messaging was terrible.  When Biden was given power by a rigged election provoked by a manufactured Covid virus released from a lab in China to cause a coup in the United States, the first thing he did was put a gay guy like Major Pete on his cabinet and Ralph Levine for Assistant Secretary for Health and Head of the United States Public Health Service Commissioned Corps as well as Health and Human Services, as a crossdresser right out of The Rocky Horror Picture Show.  Biden’s people were caught having gay sex and filming it in public buildings, and they fully expected to shut down anybody’s negative opinions on the matter, forcing many to count down the days until these losers were voted out of office.  And a lot of people couldn’t wait to vote against the Biden administration because of the Freakshow they put on and expected everyone to accept.  No amount of any podcast could justify the audaciousness of how Democrats positioned themselves for the 2024 election.  They can’t sell something to people that they don’t want to buy, and that is apparently new news to them.  But they should have listened because I have been telling them that for a long time. 

As to Joe Rogan, they had him.  I’ve said about Joe Rogan that he was too liberal for me.  He voted for Biden and Obama and has only now been a Trump supporter.  The same with Elon Musk and many other Democrats who converted to the Republican Party in the wake of the assassination attempt against Trump in July of 2024.  I didn’t listen to the Joe Rogan podcast because he was a devoted Democrat, and I don’t have time in my life for people like that.  I only paid attention to him because he was moving toward Trump in the closing days of the 2024 election. After all, the Democrats were so embarrassing.  So, if the Republican Party was going to go into a big tent party, I was happy to hold open the flap to that tent to fill it with as many people as possible.  But this notion that if only Democrats had their version of Joe Rogan is ridiculous.  Because they had him.  As well as owning most of the media culture that there is.  People turned away from Democrats because they became the party of the Freakshow; they abused their relationship with everyday people to such an extent that they pushed people away.  And that is something they didn’t think would happen.  When people like AOC in Congress seem normal and rational, the Democrats have a big problem, and people are going to turn away from them just by association.  Democrats thought they could abuse their relationship with people, just as most corporations these days also believe because they feel like communists who can live in a bubble without competitive ideas to challenge them and come to the conclusions within their little world that they are all there is. 

They should have seen the writing on the wall when they mistreated their people, like Musk and Joe Rogan, for being critical of the Democrat party when they should have been listening.   With Rogan, the political left tried to cancel culture him for doing a podcast where anti-vaxers were on to talk about COVID-19, and the left tried to damage Rogan’s deal with Spotify.  I can tell everyone here that I went through all kinds of problems, especially with Spotify and YouTube, so I can understand Rogan’s situation because he had real money at stake in the protests.  But it was essentially an anti-free speech message that Democrats had, their modern version of the Berlin Wall.  Communists cannot afford competition with capitalist markets, and ultimately, when you have the wealthiest guy in the world on your side, but you are attacking the kind of world that made him rich in the first place, you are setting yourself up for a significant loss.  Elon Musk pays more taxes than any person on planet Earth, and Democrats just kept asking for more.  It’s like a husband who continues to keep cheating on his wife, and she stays with him for as long as she can take it, then decides one day, no more.  And she finally leaves.  And she should go if he’s not respecting her.  That’s what the Democrats did to their people, like Joe Rogan, Elon Musk, Robert Kennedy, Tulsi Gabbard, and many others.  There were a lot of Democrats, especially union members, who voted for Trump in this last election because the message was better from Republicans.  Democrats took it for granted that their platform was so powerful that they could shame people into voting for a Freakshow, a bunch of sexual deviants, and crack addicts with an addiction to all kinds of problems.  And presenting those kinds of people to the world was a winning strategy.

Ultimately, this problem is one I have been pointing out for a long time.  I write on this site because I know who reads it and why.  I do not write here for the ordinary, everyday person but for the influencers on the frontier of independent journalism, which is where all the action will be in the future.  Traditional media is dying.  Modern media platforms like Truth Social, Gettr, and Elon Musk’s “X” are the future, and the kind of competitive content out there will destroy a weak message.  So, I see my efforts as being very important to that process and an investment on my part to a better world.  For all those who aren’t sure what they can or can’t talk about, I provide a new way of thinking about it in a media culture increasingly driven by artificial intelligence.  And the Democrats showed a complete lack of respect for other people’s opinions over these last eight years, essentially since Trump entered office the first time.  In their desperation, they ran wildly in the other direction toward “freakshow” politics, such as the bearded lady at a carnival or the man with two heads.  And they scared off any fringy supporters they did have who were straddling the fine line between left-of-center politics and the right.  So they lost support because of their strategy, and giving Hunter Biden his own podcast would only accelerate their problems.  And that’s the thing: it is a free world; Hunter Biden could start his podcast tomorrow, just as anybody could.  But would anybody listen or pay attention?  I do it because people do pay attention and listen.  And I see the impact.  But who wants to listen to Hunter Biden?  Who cares about one thing that he says or does?  And how could a person like that move a political party toward success?  The answer is that they can’t, and that’s why Democrats lost.  They embraced the wrong strategy, which probably cost them their party.  As I always say, Democrats can’t win if they don’t cheat.  And that was certainly the case in 2024.  Where it was too big to rig, Democrats couldn’t win because they couldn’t cheat.  And they had no other strategy for winning because their messaging never respected voter opinions.  Only the guilt they could generate from their freakshow politics, which would always fail.

What To Learn From Howard Kazanjian’s ‘A Producers Life’: Hollywood was never going to be able to help a bad product like Kamala Harris

This will be fun; I could do it every day for years.  I’m not sure how useful that would be, but I’d enjoy it.  And that is explaining to Democrats why they lost the 2024 election.  The first answer is that election fraud was harder for them.  They still cheat in many places, have been caught, and will get into trouble over it.  In these areas of the country that have still been counting ballots weeks after the election in November of 2024, there is only one reason: introducing false ballots to change the outcome.  And in those places, voter ID is a problem, and so are the mathematical trends.  You don’t win in all these national elections, and, in strange places, trend the other way.  That might happen in random spots, but not like this.  Many of these House and Senate seats were stolen for Democrats to keep those two government bodies from sliding even further to Republicans.  It will be easy to prove, and the Trump Justice Department will be able to prosecute those cases efficiently.   But the point remains: if Democrats can’t cheat, they can’t win.  That also makes this perspective that has been going on with Democrats about Hollywood even funnier.  They believed that Hollywood support from celebrities and the visual effects ads they had access to with people like Steven Spielberg would turn people toward their side.  Yeah, that was never going to happen, and I’ve known that for a long time from very personal experience with Hollywood.  They don’t have that kind of power, and they never did.  They only illusioned themselves by talking about these things within their inward culture. 

I just finished reading a great book I promised myself I’d read if Trump won the election.  And boy, is it a real treasure; it’s the autobiography of the film producer Howard Kazanjian, ‘A Producer’s Life,’ and it was a wonderful experience.  I rarely get to read something that good, and it’s not a book intended for mass audiences.  Maybe only 100,000 people worldwide would be interested in it, and most of them would likely be film students.  The book came out in 2021, but I was too busy these last couple of years, even with all my reading, to sit down and enjoy a book like that.  Howard is one of my favorite film producers of all time, and he’s been close to some of my favorite movies, from the Star Wars and Indiana Jones films to Cool Hand Luke and The Wild Bunch.  He worked with Hitchcock and many big-name Hollywood directors through the latest golden age of cinema, from the late 70s to the early 80s.  He told many stories about things that have gone on behind the scenes in many movies that I found fascinating, and I wouldn’t let myself think like that because of all the other stuff politically going on.  There wasn’t time to enjoy anything like that, so the first thing I did once Trump was elected was give myself a bit of a vacation and read a few books like this that I had been thinking about for a long time.  In it, Howard essentially confirms everything I have been saying about Hollywood.  Much of the appeal of that industry is fake, in front of the camera and especially behind it. Hollywood is about creating illusions, not truth, and in this climate of free media and free speech, anything phony is going to be rooted out and rejected.  Someone should have told the Democrats that, but they were so obsessed with their ability to make images that suckers buy in a darkened theater that they missed the trend.  And they have lost miserably because of it.  And they aren’t making any corrections to change anything, which is fine with me.

All this has provoked in me remembrances of my exposure to Hollywood culture, and I quickly learned how phony it was.  I was always just as interested in what happened behind the camera as I was in front of it, and quickly, you see what kind of mentality goes on in these Hollywood productions.  Most people in the industry do not think like Howard; he’s one of the great ones, but most think people are so stupid that they can manipulate the thoughts of mass society with the Hollywood image.  They miss the whole point, and the entire industry misses the truth.  Because they purposely live in a kind of entertainment bubble, they don’t get to talk to real people much, except when they do press junkets and comic cons and lose touch with reality.  I tasted that when I worked on projects, and a producer gave me my trailer to reside between takes. The line producers pamper you with union-standard assumptions.  I thought it was all interesting and for me, a dream come true career wise, but not very practical or sustainable.  I have the opposite way of viewing things as they do; I expect the people being photographed to be good people, turn on the camera, and capture a little bit of their natural essence, and that what is sold is worth investing your time and energy into. 

Ultimately, that’s why the Hollywood machine could never overtake Trump: He isn’t just an image; he’s a lot more in real life than what a camera can capture.  And Kamala Harris’ people thought that if they raised over a billion dollars, they could purchase an image and that voters would be dumb enough to buy it like they would the next Hollywood blockbuster.  That if the movie preview was good but the movie sucked, that people would still buy it.  And, of course, they didn’t.  Reading that book about Howard Kazanjian reminded me of how out of touch many in the movie industry are, even when they are the best in their field.  Ultimately, Hollywood is too slow and clunky to be relevant in the modern world, which is one reason their industry is dying.  The unions will not allow them to keep pace with YouTube content creators, and that’s where entertainment is headed.  People aren’t going to wait for three years for movie content anymore, teased well in advance.  And they aren’t going to buy the Hollywood product of making an image of a president of the United States without the substance of doing anything meaningful as a leader.  It all comes down to public opinion, and just because Hollywood can make an image, they can’t make people buy into it.  That is precisely the trouble the woke new Captain America movie is struggling with regarding test audiences.  The producers won’t be able to cut together enough coverage to fix the film because its merit is terrible, just like Kamala Harris.  More fancy camerawork won’t change the fact that people don’t like the characters in bad situations.  What would you expect if it’s a woke storyline coming from Disney these days? People aren’t going to buy it.  And they rejected Kamala for the same reasons.  Hollywood couldn’t make her.  Hollywood was, and will always be, a reflection of what people want to buy.  Not the creators of what people do buy.  That is a lesson Hollywood has never learned, which is why they are now perplexed.  And also why I do not work in that industry.  I can’t do the phony thing, for me, it has to be real.

The Epic Joe Rogan Interview with President Trump: Dreaming big again

I am very proud of President Trump.  Many people around him, including Elon Musk and Melania, for her fantastic entry into Madison Square Garden on the 27th of October, showed their best selves as a result of a fantastic campaign by Trump at the close of the 2024 election season.  That’s how you win, and it starts with effort.  And nobody in the history of the world, looking back, or forward will ever perform what President Trump has over these last four years.  Talk about resiliency.  He has made me very proud and has set a standard that will never be forgotten.  And even though the campaign still has a week or so, what the Trump campaign did at Madison Square Garden was epic and unforgettable.  It was astonishingly good.  However, that wasn’t the most significant thing that Trump could have done to secure his domination in this election cycle.  It was the Joe Rogan Podcast from that previous Friday, October 25th, 2024 where Trump sat down with the hottest podcast in the nation and just talked for three hours straight with no interruptions, no breaks, no notes.  Trump just sat down and spoke to Joe Rogan unscripted for three hours, something very few people could have done.  And Trump was fantastic.  When you add it all up, the week leading up to that podcast, then what was done at Madison Square Garden in New York City, of all places, for a Republican to campaign in what is considered forbidden territory, the sum of it was just jaw-dropping.   Talk about a guy who likes to win and has done everything to do so.  And even those hardened to him couldn’t help but admire the effort.  I think we aren’t just talking about a win with this effort against Kamala Harris, but Trump is playing to have the biggest win in the history of elections, including the dominating win Reagan had over Mondale in 1984. 

Leading up to the Madison Square Garden rally, I was at Kings Island with my family, and specifically, as I reviewed the clips from the Joe Rogan Podcast, I had a fascinating conversation with one of my grandchildren, who is 12.  I was about his age in 1984 when Reagan won in a landslide, and it had a feeling about it, like what we see today with Trump.  Only Reagan didn’t go through nearly what Trump has.  I am excited for my grandchildren, and I was able to explain to him that if everything goes well with this election on November 5th, and we have every reason in the world to believe it will, there is an opportunity for magnificent growth in America that is more than just a little bit, well deserved.  A few short months ago, I didn’t think there was a chance Elon Musk and President Trump would ever do anything together, so having the world’s richest man directly connected to Trump is a massive boost because, as fair or unfair as it is, Musk has brought an enthusiasm that people like George Soros and Jeff Bezos have applied negatively.  Elon Musk has become very effective, and Trump has earned that respect by surviving that assassin’s bullet.  A few months later, I watched this Joe Rogan Podcast as it occurred and listened in wonderment.  There were so many sound clips from that show that made excellent soundbites that even in the hours after, the political left had no countermeasure for.  There was so much said in those three hours that Trump had slammed shut an election victory for him at that moment.  And he wasn’t even done at that time.  Trump and Rogan even talked about aliens in that podcast.  It was quite extraordinary. 

But the promise of prosperity for a young 12-year-old is on the table here.  After all that we have been through as a country, we deserve something good, and as I reviewed the Joe Rogan clips and showed them to my grandson while we were in line for several rides, the enthusiasm was unmistakable.  We were on the cusp of something monstrously big, and Joe Rogan had managed to capture it with an excellent interview.  Trump was his best self during it, leaving in the wake plenty that anybody voting could like and get behind. Trump was swinging for the fences after ten years of some of the worst political treatment anybody has ever had, and it was coming fast not with just one homerun but several that were flying out of the park in a highlight reel nobody would ever forget.  I kept telling my grandson how culture changed a lot in the 80s, economically and socially, once Reagan won that second term; there was prosperity in America from about 1981 to 1989 that came from Reagan’s open embrace of capitalism and the defeat of the Soviet Union through policy that unleashed optimism everyone benefited from.  It was encouraging to see my grandchildren coming to age in this remarkable Trump election that was shaking off so many oppressive elements.  Like Rocky from the movies, Trump could be crawling across the finish line, all beat up and barely standing.  But here was a guy that had gone through all he had and was dressed in his business suit, looking better than ever, and showing himself to be at the height of his power.  At this moment, in line with my grandson, and just ahead of Trump’s appearance at Madison Square Garden, the recent betting odds for Trump to win came out at 94.5%, for the first time. 

Kamala Harris couldn’t have done even a tiny portion of what Trump did, especially the Joe Rogan Podcast.  She’s very unexceptional and has little to say about anything.  And in many ways, that is what Trump managed to crack through all the trouble and present to the world.   As I watched the Joe Rogan clips at Kings Island, I also got a live stream from London where they were having a rally for Trump across from Parliament.  I remember standing in that exact spot in 2017 when Trump had just been elected and watching the world react to it in a very negative way, especially in London.  But now the world was watching this American election and praying for Trump’s return, so this isn’t just America that’s excited.  The world is on edge, hoping for an excellent performance, which Trump has shown them; he has done everything he could to win and win big.  There is a chance for Trump not just to win, but for a period of enthusiasm to come from under the barriers of oppression that has stifled creative growth for over a century, even more.  And Trump had united everyone to his cause, even those like Musk who had been left of center most of his life.  Suddenly, Musk at Madison Square Garden talked about taxation in ways that were even more conservative than the Tea Party’s position.  All of this came because of Trump’s excellent campaign.  We were seeing something epic happening in politics and culture.  And the potential for what comes next for the children coming to age in this period is epic.  In many ways, all this campaign activity from Trump gave the feeling of a great nation overcoming an incredible sickness that had suddenly broken, and everyone felt much better.  And much of that was evident on the Joe Rogan Podcast, which would have been enough; it would have been the highlight of most political campaigns.  But for Trump, it was just another day at the office.  The bar of expectations has been shattered, and everyone has grown positively.  And it was wonderful to see.

Democrats Do Not Respect Civilian Oversight: The disaster of Kamala Harris skipping the Al Smith Dinner

As we get down the stretch of the 2024 election, the big takeaway and primary reason that many Democrats have peeled away from the party only to join Republicans is that a ruse has been exposed that was long concealed.  Democrats with a foundation of Marxism never respected voters’ opinions.  They ultimately adopted the globalist policy of rigged elections to gain and hold power.  They never intended to win people over with a compelling argument about their political platform.  Their entire political strategy has been essentially high school politics; you were either a cool kid or weren’t.  And if that were the case, then you would be cast from society, a society they controlled.  No, what they lost most over the last four years has been their brand.  Nobody wants to be one of the cool kids if what you get is a Democrat.  That was particularly revealing when Tulsi Gabbard announced at a recent Trump rally that she was joining the Republican Party.  Trump has been fantastic at opening up the big tent of the Republican Party in ways that no other Republican in history could have, leaving it indeed a party of the Americans.  When you consider that Robert F. Kennedy joined Trump’s campaign with the intention of a critical position in the White House and Elon Musk suddenly became a Tea Party kind of Republican, the Trump campaign has just been fantastic down the stretch.  Trump has done everything that could be done to bring people into support of him, especially with people of color and among the immigrant population.  There have been a lot of great moments, but I think one of the best will be remembered by the Al Smith Dinner of 2024, where Trump was brilliantly funny.  Most of all, he showed up, but Kamala Harris didn’t. 

Democrats are playing a game they thought would work, and it is consistent with their actions over the past three or four decades.  But Trump exposed it with all his persuasive live performances, especially at the Al Smith Dinner.  When Trump went to the one in 2016, Hillary Clinton was there, and she went and spoke.  She didn’t do very well, but she figured it didn’t matter at that time.  The machine would win for her, so she showed up and did her part.  Trump was great that year, too, but this time, he was outstanding.  But Kamala Harris didn’t show up, and instead sent in a video with a kind of Saturday Night Live skit to help carry Kamala over the top.  Democrats are like that kid who didn’t study for the big test and showed up expecting to cheat on someone’s paper.  Democrats weren’t prepared to run a real campaign for power in America.  They counted exclusively on election theft to win, like all the other Marxist countries in the world presently do, and they were so disrespectful about it that they picked a candidate in Kamala Harris who would do whatever they told her to and run her campaign from concealment the entire time.  Because they have such little respect for the democratic process and the self-government concept of Americans in general, they were not able to compete when Trump made the campaign truly about competency and representation.  The strategies of personal destruction suddenly didn’t work at all with Trump because he didn’t need the Democrats to crown him one of the “cool kids.”  He already was one.  Trump has changed the definition of a cool kid over the last eight years.

The Al Smith Dinner was embarrassing for Kamala Harris because it was so out of step with the nature of the 2024 campaign.  There was no compelling argument to make on behalf of Democrats, causing them to leave the party, such as what Tulsi Gabbard and many others have done.  Just think about how many people have done the same thing all across the country, and they know what will happen in this election.  Now that the close of the election is near, even the big media outlets understand what will happen.  They tried to run the same closet campaign for Kamala that they did for Biden the first time, but people aren’t buying into it.  There is no COVID to cover for their massive attempts at election fraud, and most anybody who isn’t a crazy lunatic of anti-American sentiment is voting for Trump.  And as I have said all along, it will all come down to engagement.  Trump has engaged voters who are excited to vote for him.  Kamala Harris has a few fringed cat ladies and a hamster.  But nobody else.  Trump will break into the seventy millions.  Kamala will be lucky to get out of the sixties.  Trump will win the popular vote because there won’t be the same opportunities to cheat that were so common in 2020.  And the Democrats are panicking over it.  Even CNN has figured out that they will have egg on their face if they support Kamala, who had a particularly disastrous performance there, too, with Anderson Cooper.  When the smoke clears from this one, people will wonder how so many people got it all wrong, and they’ll point to that disastrous Al Smith Dinner with the video contribution by a weird Saturday Night Live skit as the root cause. 

I know quite a few Secret Service Agents, and they report that they can’t see the forest for the trees.  Even with all that I have said, they fear that Kamala Harris will win anyway because they genuinely think the “machine” of politics is truly in charge.  And I tell them they are too close to the situation to be objective.  But plenty of people want to argue with me and believe that Kamala Harris will win as a propped-up asset of the machine, and she thinks so, too.  That is until she was heckled at a recent rally where people broke out into a Trump chant, and she became furious about it.  I hear what everyone says about the machine being in charge.  But in America, that is not acceptable, and Trump has done everything that can be done to unite the country behind the Republican Party, which will have a significant impact up and down the ticket in general for all races.  I see significant losses for Democrats that will wipe them out generationally and even perhaps as a viable political party.  After all this, they may join the Whigs in history as they don’t represent the American people but a globalist ideology that most people find repulsive once they find out what it is.  And the Democrats were exposed through competition for really the first time.  Voters have been looking for someone like Trump to expose this shell game for a long time, and essentially, this is the first time that the stress fractures exposed Democrats for what they have always been hiding.  And it was never more evident than when Kamala Harris skipped the Al Smith Dinner in 2024, even with Chuck Schumer sitting right next to the podium where the speeches were given.  In a friendly venue, she couldn’t even perform there.  But Trump did, and did it very well, leaving no doubt who the winner of the presidency would be.  And history will never forget it.

Trump is Doing a Rally at Madison Square Gardens: Kamala is so bad, nobody will ever believe she could win

The differences couldn’t have been more clear between President Trump and the ridiculously disastrous presentation of Kamala Harris than at the Al Smith Dinner in New York in October 2024.  Trump was hilarious and spoke well. He attended the live show that traditionally invites both candidates to speak during election campaigns and raise charity money.  While Trump showed that he could have a sense of humor, he demonstrated beyond any reasonable doubt that he isn’t afraid to go into the lair of a beast and to slay it directly.  He was very tough on Chuck Schumer when he told him that “because Democrats are so woke, that if Kamala doesn’t win, that he could still be the first woman president.”  Trump also lit up the former mayor, Bill de Blasio, without any pretense of being friendly.  He doesn’t like him and Trump made it quite clear.  It was a very emotional evening, just a few weeks before voters decided on the direction of America, which indicated a Trump win.  And with all the stakes present, Kamala Harris didn’t go, as she has shown real difficulty in doing live events.  Kamala, as the sitting Vice President, had so little faith in herself and her staff that she recorded a video and sent that to the event, which was horrendous.  Kamala couldn’t do that by herself; instead, she brought in a Saturday Night Live comedian to do most of the talking, which was embarrassing.  Seeing how little Kamala’s team thinks of us was a shame.  But then again, it confirms what we have all suspected all along.  That they believe invisible hands control our presidency and that they don’t have to do events like the Al Smith Dinner.  They can win the presidency anyway with tricks and election fraud. 

So, one of two things is going to happen.  The Kamala Harris team is either dumber than anybody thought or completely tone-deaf to reality, and they will lose in a fiery crash.  Or we have no control over our election system and are going to have to take back our country with physical force.  Trump has gone all in and is putting such an exclamation point on the entire race, pulling well ahead of Kamala in early polling, that he has booked Madison Square Gardens as a campaign rally location.   Internal polling shows that Trump has a chance in areas that typically Republicans don’t, and Kamala is so bad that he believes he has a chance.  Trump even held a rally recently in California, where over 100,000 people showed up.  Kamala has struggled with all live performances, including Bret Baier on Fox News.  The more she spoke, the worse she did, and the public could see how phony she was.  This has left the door open for Trump to dominate in public appearances with no real competition for the public’s need for leadership. The choice couldn’t have been more stark.  So Trump has done the boldest thing possible and gone to places where he was at risk of being rejected, and Madison Square Gardens in downtown Manhattan is one of those statement rallies.  For Trump to fill the arena when Kamala Harris couldn’t even come close is more than just spiking the football after a tough election.  It’s a declaration of winning this election in a “too big to rig” fashion because nobody will believe it if Kamala Harris suddenly wins the election when she couldn’t even show up in a friendly setting to do the Al Smith Dinner. 

With Trump booking Madison Square Gardens, he is filling a venue that psychologically has deep roots in the American mind as one of the largest in the world, and as they used to say about New York, if you can make it there, you can make it anywhere.  And this assumption that New York is off limits to any Republican is being challenged by Trump.  Should things be the way many fear and Kamala Harris did win the presidency with serious election fraud, people will never believe it.  With Trump filling Madison Square Gardens for a rally to hear him speak, when Kamala couldn’t fill a kid’s pool, is a statement to make this election all about too big to rig.  By Trump filling that massive building on the most significant stage in the world, he is essentially showing that he has done all he can do and more to present an opportunity for authentic leadership to the American people.  And they are voting by attending his rallies.  Meanwhile, the real trouble lurking in the background has been exposed, and traditionally, to cover their menace, they have relied on control over the media and public sentiment to hide their ruse.  And under tremendous pressure, they have not been able to answer because Trump has been so good.  Going into the stretch of the election season, Kamala and her people couldn’t answer the call because of the way they have been selling communism to people for decades.  And now it was all coming down around them right in the heart of Democrats’ politics at its core, New York City, first with the Al Smith Dinner, then Trump speaking at Madison Square Gardens.  That the same people who swapped out Joe Biden and put in Kamala Harris think they have that much control over the American people tells you everything you need to know.

Trump, going to New York in the last weeks of the election, says he is confident in the battleground states, especially Pennsylvania and Georgia.  Interestingly, Florida and Ohio aren’t even toss-up states anymore, and Democrats aren’t even trying to maintain the illusion.  This is a stark difference now than it was in prior elections.  If it used to be hard for Republicans to win any election, what Trump has done is flip the script entirely on Democrats, and now the uphill battle is ultimately on their shoulders.  As it looks now, Trump is set to have a blowout win over Kamala Harris and the Democrat Party in general.  They have run out of runway.  Nobody even believes that Joe Biden won his seat.  The Democrat Party has only confirmed the suspicions by the way they have treated him once he showed that he wasn’t going to be able to beat Trump and replaced him with Kamala.  Then, under tremendous pressure at the Al Smith Dinner, knowing they were struggling to sell their message in an honest election, they turned to Saturday Night Live to attempt to sell Kamala to the public.  And it wasn’t working.   So Trump booked Madison Square Gardens to make the election too big to rig.  No matter what happens with digital voting machines and drop boxes, nobody in the aftermath can steal this election.  That doesn’t mean they won’t try.  And if they did present the world with Kamala Harris the way they removed Joe Biden without any votes and tried to give America that mess, clearly Trump has been the president over the last four years, and he was being elected by the people once again.  And that’s why booking Madison Square Gardens was so important.  Suppose they try to give us Kamala Harris on election day. In that case, nobody will believe she won, and a war will be more than merited against forces of tyranny that have seeped into our system of government that can’t be dealt with any other way than by force.  Because we tried peaceful elections, and the Democrats didn’t respect it.

Dumb People Want More Taxes to Pay for More Bad Government: Why pay for more of something bad

What’s different now as opposed to any time in the past is that President Trump is talking about real and substantial tax cuts, whereas the Harris communists are seeking to perpetually raise them, with nonsense like “tax the rich” and “pay your fair share.”  Well, who determines a “fair share,” these government losers are addicted to spending like crack addicts looking for the next hit.  When we look at our government and talk about taxes, we are talking about paying for more government that does less for us without expecting the quality of a job done.  It’s a ridiculous proposal.  And as the Democrats say the same old thing in an election year and we watch gas prices drop under three dollars per gallon right before the election, hoping to sucker people into voting for these idiots one more time, what they are more than asking for is more money to get a government that serves us horribly and to like it.  And to like it so much that we suspend any expectation of performance, which is appalling.  The differences between one vision and the other couldn’t be more stark.  Trump is proposing to remove taxes not just on tips but on overtime pay as well, which is a wonderful idea.  One thing that America could really use is incentives to work more, not less.  What the idiots behind COVID-19 did to our global employment culture has been ridiculous.  There are still lazy people who want to work from home instead of getting back to work over the whole social distancing policy, which has turned out to be a complete and total scam created by the United Nations administrative state losers and their schemes of social detriment. Trump understands from experience that economic growth occurs when people are not penalized for doing more work. 

To the mind of the socialists, communists, and general global citizen Marxists, government expansion means a job without any expectations for performance attached to it.  The purpose of growing government is to develop well-paying jobs that don’t expect to actually do anything.  The pay for that job comes from the government’s ability to steal the money from the people it is supposed to serve and give it to people who have done nothing to deserve it.  This has always been a problem, and people have complained about it since the beginning of the concept of government.  The government is resented when it uses its force to take what doesn’t belong to it for service to itself.  And those lazy in our society seek government employment to protect their ability to make a pressure-free living, which shows up in various degrees of corruption throughout all human activity.  When money is made too easy to get through coercion, your political system has planted and watered the seeds of corruption.  Trump understands, as any real economist does that by letting people keep more of what they make, they work more to get more, and the economy does better.  But most people in government, especially those who call themselves Democrats, do not grasp that concept because they see government as the way to make the most money with the least risk possible.  That’s why all these billionaires find refuge in the Democrat party, because the power of government protects them from the risk of competition, and therefore, the money paid in taxes is less than the risk of going toe to toe with competition in the free and open marketplace.  For all these people, big government is less risky, which settles their timid minds from the realities of social performance. 

But with all our talk of revolution, the tactical approach well before we pick up arms against a tyrannical government is to defund it.  With the discussions of more budgets in the current and future congress, if we do not like the government we have, then why should we continue to throw money at it?  They are just going to waste it.  For all the money they have given to Ukraine, the cost of our more than 35 trillion dollars in debt is, for the first time, a trillion dollars to pay for the people who have loaned us money; why on earth would we waste more money on such a ridiculous government.  That is the question that losers like Kamala Harris and the Obama clan have never asked or answered. They expect that if they need more money to waste on more growth in government, then we are obligated to pay it like some slack-jawed dope-smoking loser.  And that isn’t how it is.  We are in control, not them.  And if you don’t like the service you are getting from the government, we can more than deny those funds to the people misusing them.  It’s no different than telling a crack addict that you aren’t going to give them more crack to destroy their lives with.  Government is addicted to spending, and they expect us to fund that addiction.  When in reality, they should be given less to force them to reduce their growth into a more manageable and efficient government.  The source of the problem is that significant government types have no expectation of performance placed on them, so they don’t see money as a measure to be earned but taken by the force of government to feed an addictive personality that leads in only one direction: corruption.

Behind all the anger at Trump is that this trend culminates in a genuinely accountable government, perhaps for the first time in history.  We knew there would be pushback when we talked about draining the swamp.  But the level of violence that we have witnessed has been obtuse in several respects that are simply unreasonable.  The assumption that people would always pay these ridiculous prices for a government that isn’t even good would never work.  And when there are surprises that so many people are turning to Trump to provide a much-reduced government that asks for far less money, we shouldn’t be surprised.  However, the plan never reasonably paid for all these useless government employees.  We’ve seen plenty of government workers who have gone wrong; James Comey and Dr. Fauci come to mind.  If you interview the typical government employee, you will generally find the same kind of lazy losers looking to inflate their egos with the power of government service without the expectation of actually doing anything.  And to be paid extraordinarily high for doing it.  Why would we want more people doing anything from a power position like that?  That’s why a less powerful government is the only way to go.  We need a government big enough to do the work of the people it serves.  But too small to impose themselves on the public as an oppressive force.  We are not obligated to pay a fair share, determined by those with broken minds, to continue to grow something that is a detriment.  With the Trump election, the government is positioned to reduce its size dramatically, and through the election process, we have a peaceful right to do so under the need to administer those resources as a country.  We do not have an obligation to support the cause of global government with all its problems of corruption and ineffectiveness.  And to pay for it with all our hard-earned money.  Then, we suffer the consequences of having it.  No, it’s time for a fundamental change, and perhaps for the first time in history, it’s within our reach if only we dare to perform the task.

People Are Coming Together Under Trump’s “Save America”: With all the bad we have expereicned, something very good is happening

I wore my “Save America” hat to the auto store the other day, and the kid working there liked it so much that he acted like he wanted to come home with me, like a stray little dog who had suddenly been fed while desperately hungry.  The sight of “Trump” something was enough to send him into a state of excitement upon such recognition.  The “Trump” brand has turned out to be very patriotic, and people want very much to love their country again.  For too long, people have taken for granted that America would always be there for them, and these days, they are happy to see anything that reminds them that their country is still there, and Trump is the name that does it for them.  When someone like that auto parts clerk sees “Trump,” they know all is right with the world.  And this isn’t just some random guy who is expressing these kinds of sentiments.  It’s happening everywhere.  Recently, I was up by Bellfountain, Ohio, just a few miles from Springfield, where the great controversy about illegal immigrants from Haiti is now a national story, where the population of the town is around 60K, and the amount of illegal immigration brought into the area by the federal government is 20K.  People are not happy, and they know what’s going on out there.  I’ve never seen it like this before, but the side roads from I-75 to downtown Bellefontaine were lined with Trump signs in their yards for at least 20 miles. Not just a few, but most homes felt they needed to express themselves with a Trump sign in great abundance.  I understand, I have been flying a Trump flag in front of my house for three years now, and people seem to love it.  But it’s not the kind of thing a person who wants to hide under a rock of political indecision does.  For many people, expressing a political view is hard in public, but these days, people find it very refreshing because they think the same things.

One of my daughters is an artist who travels frequently around the country, attending trade shows.  And, of course, in the art crowd, you would expect to find a lot of very liberal Democrats who hate Trump.  And that has certainly been the case for her for a long time, except this year.  Now, as opposed to the past, more people are breaking off from the “Never Trumper” category and whispering to her that they love Trump and want to see him elected.  And for them, it’s quite a statement, a significant rebellion against their everyday political sentiments.  What all this means is that there are a lot of people out there who are reflecting support for President Trump ahead of the 2024 election because they see that America is in danger of a complete communist overthrow of globalist intention, and they are looking for reassurance in their peers that such a thing might be avoided.  I’ve never seen anything like it in all the years I’ve been involved in political activity.  And across such a broad base of people, many of whom would vote for a Democrat otherwise.  Even Elton John is showing support for President Trump, which is stunningly remarkable.  Over the last few weeks, very blue Democrats have supported Trump from Robert F. Kennedy and Tulsi Gabbard, and the trend continues daily.  Democrats are jumping ship and voting for Trump, and suddenly, it’s not such a scandal to wear a Trump hat out in public or put up a yard sign in support of Saving America through President Trump’s re-election. 

It’s good to see, but I’m not entirely surprised.  I’ve reported that my wife and I have been all over the United States since the last election, and support for Trump has always been there.  You don’t see many Biden signs or Harris references anywhere.  Most of the support for Harris comes from the political machine of the mainstream media, who aren’t so mainstream anymore.  The illusion was only maintained by a public that was shamed into not expressing their political sentiments by those seeking to control it.  Even a year ago, I got a lot of disapproving looks when I would wear my Save America hat out in public.  But these days, I see them more often in more places.  People are rebelling against the established order by openly supporting Trump.  And people who otherwise wouldn’t are now doing so.  Trump is a brand that they know can Save America from those willing to destroy it.  And there is hope in Trump that through all he has endured, that by example, America can become Great Again.  The people out in the country of Ohio know what the government has been up to; dumping illegal immigrants into Springfield, Ohio, was an attack on the country culture there, of the red, white, and blue Americans who inhabit those vast spaces.  And to assault them at their homes.  People hope that by supporting Trump, they might regain a representative government again, instead of the one from Biden/Harris who wants to use the power of government to destroy their very lives.  Social customs of political discreteness no longer bind people because they realize that part of the attack vector has been not expressing views that would Save America.  They no longer feel so restricted.

I would say that people have always felt this way, but they didn’t feel like they could express themselves due to social appeasement.  Because Biden has been so wrong, and the machine that put him in office is now trying to use Kamala Harris as the new offering of communism for all, hidden behind a thin veil of feminism intent to overcome logic with the siren song of skin color.  People have had it and to such a point that public displays of affection toward Trump are the only thing that makes sense.  And when Democrats are bleeding over into the political support of President Trump, something much bigger is happening that is important.  And perhaps this is all purposeful in the grand scheme of things.  Things looked pretty dark in 2021 as Joe Biden stepped into the White House after a three-letter coup against Trump was trying to remove a sitting president to preserve a big government that had grown out of control and had great hatred for the American people as a sovereign nation.  The hostilities toward those people have united those people in ways that nobody has thought possible.  And now, in the final days of 2024, people are genuinely coming together under a common cause from many different political backgrounds to Save America from those who intend to destroy it.  Finally, we can agree on something we would never agree on otherwise.  And perhaps that is the point of all this pain and suffering.  Through a massive fight, we have found ways in common toward a goal we can all agree on.  To Save America because we previously never thought it could be in danger.  Yet now that we have seen it is in danger, we want to put aside our differences and save it from those hostile forces.  And yes, those forces are hostile and intent to destroy us all.  Which has at least united us against a common enemy, which is good.

Roger Reynolds is Suing the Great Nancy Nix: A claim of quo warrento going to the Supreme Court of Ohio

If there was ever a case that expressed more clearly the need for civilian oversight of government affairs then it would be the Roger Reynolds case in Butler County, Ohio, where he is suing the great Nancy Nix for his old job as an auditor.  Whenever money is involved, there will be a lot of scrutiny, and the auditor’s job is one of those that naturally has a big target on it.  In Butler County, Kay Rogers had to go to jail for criminal conduct when she held that position.  It is sometimes hard to distinguish good intentions from malicious conduct, and I thought the Kay case was ticky-tacky and more politically motivated than anything.  But Roger Reynolds stepped into that role through an appointment and then proceeded to win several elections after that and was an excellent auditor that people respected.  Even when Roger had a target placed on him as well, and he was accused of an illegal interest in a public contract, Roger still won an election even as he was awaiting sentencing for a jail term.  I thought what was being done to Roger was unfair, even abusive.  And during it all, nobody stood by Roger Reynolds more than Nancy Nix.  Once Roger was convicted of a felony on one of the charges against him, he asked his staff to support Nancy, treasurer at the time, to step into his office and continue the excellent work he had started there.  It was not a sure thing then that Nancy would be the next auditor; there were other names in mind and reasons for the names.  So, while Roger had to resign office due to the conviction, Nancy dutifully stepped in to cover Roger’s job while Michael McNamara filled Nancy’s job as treasurer.  Meanwhile, Roger cleared his name through the appeals process in the courts. 

This is one of those cases where I know everyone and what they are all about, including those who were prosecuting Roger Reynolds.  So I have the context to this that many wouldn’t have access to, and from my point of view, I was relieved that Nancy was in that auditor position because of the target on such a powerful seat.  To use a Lord of the Rings metaphor, Nancy is by her nature probably the most resistant to corruption of anybody available, so if someone must carry the ring of power into Mordor and throw it into a pit of lava, Nancy Nix is the person most likely to survive and do the good work needed to save the world.  Even though it was unfair what Roger went through, and it cost him a fortune and many other things, particularly his excellent name in the process, he is a damaged person.  I would love to see him restored in name and health.  I understand his desire for revenge and to return to his office in glory after surviving all he has been through.  But then there is the need for the office and the people of Butler County to get good work done.  What we need in a position is a good auditor working with a good treasurer for the needs of our community and a focus on good government.  We don’t need a revenge tour in a divided political party trying to destroy each other.  It’s for those reasons that we have a process of fulfillment in government offices, and if there is a reason that an elected representative must resign and a new member replaced, we have a primary process that gives the public, ultimately civilian oversight over elected offices that end up with corrupt personalities occupying them.  And the Supreme Court of Ohio is the proper backstop for just such a maniacal twist of fate.

In this effort to restore his name, Roger filed a lawsuit against his former good friend under the premise of quo warrento for the Supreme Court to consider so he could get his old job back.  For some reason, Roger thinks that Nancy can vacate that office and hand it back to him now that he has been restored through the appeals process and found innocent of the charges placed against him.  Because Nancy was appointed to the position to cover for Roger, she gave up her seat to another, and there was no office for Nancy to return to.  The process is set up to avoid chaos, and once appointed, those jobs are filled until the next election.  At that point, the voters are the ultimate arbiters of justice.  If Roger wants his old job back, he would typically go through the primary process and run against Nancy, and the voters would decide.  Instead, Roger wants his job back now, which would wreck many people’s lives, and it certainly would be disruptive to an office already trying to shake off a past of criminal convictions, fair or not.  There is a public stigma that must be overcome, and for me, nobody else in the world is better prepared to overcome that stigma than Nancy Nix, who has a devoted personality and forthcoming nature.  She is the one I want counting the money in Butler County, Ohio. 

In all this, Roger Reynolds has become a lot like Gollum from Lord of the Rings. He is so obsessed with his name clearing in the eyes of the public that he has become something the world despises, which has been surprising.  But it shows how just about anybody can fall off the rocker and lose their minds under duress, which is precisely why we can never let the government have too much power over us.  In the case of Butler County, the auditor seat requires that much good work needs to be done for the community to function correctly.  So, we must be dedicated to its preservation for the good of voters.  Those jobs don’t exist for those who hold those jobs but for those who need them in public service.  However, politics is a balancing act in a popularity contest, and it is easy for people to find solace in public approval. When you feel bad about something, getting lost in the temptation to seek validity through the election process is easy.  So, while I can understand the need, Roger is looking to have the public restore a sense of value to him.  We still must consider what that value is and to whom it serves.  And when we wonder why we have high courts and laws of the land based on actual value, the Supreme Court of Ohio is something we should all hold in high regard because it keeps for us the process of ultimate civilian oversight so that power doesn’t corrupt the minds of the people we put in office to the point where government becomes diabolically dangerous, and corrupt, which is undoubtedly a temptation when vast amounts of money are involved.  And why, if I have to pick one person over another who guards that money, it’s Nancy Nix who can bring that value to the people of Butler County and not become just another Gollum that will give the office a further lousy name.  No, we need an auditor who can’t even have the stigma of corruption implanted upon it.  Over the last two years, Nancy has stepped into that role; when asked to, she has exceeded even the highest expectations, which is the point of the office in the first place.  That office exists for the people of Butler County and their needs for good government.  Not for those who might fill those seats on a path of personal redemption.

Trump is the Best Salesman in the World: Unless the President is back in the White House, people will not accept the results of the election

So, to answer the question that I have been asked by many people, including people who work on the inside of several campaigns, including Trump’s, what can Trump do to beat the machine?  How does he answer the campaign of keep away that Harris is playing, knowing that the election is rigged and that the media is in the tank for the Democrats?  Should Trump put together the old 2016 team?  How should he answer the challenge, assuming free elections are still possible?  I would add to all that the essential problem is that the Deep State cannot afford to lose this election.  And what they are doing with Kamala is not enough to win.  The polling with rigged elements is trying to keep it close, but in reality, it’s not close.  I think Trump could walk to the finish line doing nothing and win this election.  But what can be done by Trump to help ensure he can win?  Well, my response is to dig back to his roots, at the Power of Positive Thinking by Norman Vincent Peale, and turn all the negatives into positives.  Kamala Harris is such an evil character who is trying to be overtly positive; their only option since they have such a terrible record comes out as phony.  And people are naturally repulsed by her.  The goal of the bad guys is to try and make it look close so they can cheat, which Merrick Garland has already started alluding to.  Unless it’s Trump winning the White House, people are not going to accept the results of this government-counted election where the Deep State is trying to protect itself from the massive reforms that are coming, whether they like it or not.  Those reforms will happen through peace, preferably an election, or force.  But they will happen.  The Deep State of global communism, which Kamala Harris represents, is only hanging on by a thread at this point.  People are not choosing them by default as they have in the past.  Now, people are on to the game.

Trump is one of the best salespeople in the world and is certainly the best in terms of his massive social brand.  When people talk about Trump as a con man and not an astute businessman, they are talking about his ability, which is a skill, to turn negatives into positives.  One thing that is very evident in Trump’s books, which I have collected for years, especially these new ones, such as Our Journey Together from Winning Team Publishing and this new one coming out, Save America, is the quality of everything that Trump does.  The Trump Organization, well before they were ever in politics, knew how to sell a good experience, which showed in their products.  Going through some of those Trump books recently, mainly Our Journey Together, sells American exceptionalism independently.  Trump doesn’t have to work very hard at it.  What this election will come down to, as they usually do, is the economy.  Do people have money to work with? In this case, everyone attached to the Biden administration in some way or another has been suppressing a depression, not just a recession.  Driving down gas prices here at the last minute isn’t enough to put juice back into people’s pockets.  The cost of inflation has already done the damage, and there is no way to hide it from people.  When it comes to voting, people want a change primarily due to money and the lack of it in people’s pockets. 

Trump knows how to sell the brand of a better America through the Power of Positive Thinking.  He doesn’t have to answer Kamala Harris on anything.  Trump has set the stage and controls the message, which are all the key points any campaign wants.  The only question remains whether we can still choose representatives through our elections.  Trump knows the key to that is too big to rig approach where even with the manipulations of voting machine data and drop box stuffing, people know how they voted and they aren’t going to put up with a spike in the middle of the night of Biden drops while people were sleeping, then say, “presto, Biden won,” as they continued to count for weeks after that.  It’s kind of the situation at the end of Beetlejuice where he stole the number for the line wait from the shrunken head witch doctor.  Only for the doctor to notice and shrink Beetlejuice’s own head.  The criminal elements of our government do think we are all stupid, and like that Beetlejuice character, they are going to try to take advantage of us any way they think they can get by with.  But people are now looking out for the trouble in ways they never have before.  So, Trump doesn’t need to run a negative campaign.  He has his core base, and they get it.  Trump doesn’t need to be negative in any way possible.  He does not need to play the victim card.  All he needs to do is peel away the middle grounders, which is happening already with Elon Musk and Robert F. Kennedy, known democrats who are now joining Trump for a big-tent Republican Party. 

I am looking forward to Trump’s new book Save America, which features him being shot in the head on the cover and pumping his fist to the sky in defiance with blood running down his face, and it comes out on the first of September 2024.  As I said, Trump and his team understand what they are doing, and these books during his presidency are very high quality and have an extremely positive message.  These are the same Trumps that had Melania selling jewelry on late-night infomercials before any of them got involved in politics.  Selling a positive message as to how America can be Great Again is something they know how to do.  These books alone will not put Trump over the top in this election.  Melania Trump has a book coming out in October, which I will undoubtedly be one of the first to get and read, and I think it will sell her in a way she doesn’t usually give people access to.   What’s happening here is that Democrats who see the writing on the wall, such as Musk and Kennedy, are stepping toward Trump, as many others are also.  This is what was happening to the Trump administration during its last days before the Deep State launched COVID-19 to stop the bleeding.  Democrats were stepping over and joining Trump’s positive message.  So, Covid was released as a bioweapon.  Hey, don’t take my word for it; Bobby Kennedy and Rand Paul will tell you all about it.  It was the biggest crime in the world’s history, and many people still have to pay for it.  But Trump doesn’t need to cry and whine about it.  He has to stay positive, and that will make it too big for the bad guys to rig this election.   I didn’t just start loving Democrats, but we’re looking at a big picture here, and Trump gets it.  It’s in his books that he is bringing America together again no matter what the skin color, sex, or political affiliation is.  And it’s all about the Power of Positive Thinking.  The platform is in Trump’s books.  People are jumping on for their own self-preservation.  This is something Kamala Harris and her Deep State controllers could never do with any amount of money and propped up polling if they wanted to.  They just can’t, and people know it, which is why Trump is poised to win, even beyond the controls of cheating that are looming in the background.
