The Astonishing Trump Rally at Butler, Pennsylvania: Christopher Macchio gave the MAGA movement a soundtrack

It’s been a few days since the event, but I think it was one of the most pivotal events in all political history, President Trump’s return to Butler, Pennsylvania, where an assassin tried to kill him and almost succeeded.  Shots were projected, and people were hurt in the crowd, and a person died.  It was serious stuff, and in this overly litigious world where the safety nazis are ruining everything with a mind-numbing existence of compliance to the authoritative experts of the world, it just doesn’t happen where tragedy is overcome by dramatic optimism.  But that was the message Trump brought with him for this return to the site on July 13th, 2024.  For Trump to return to the scene of the crime and dominate it with an optimistic speech that was attended by a larger group than before was breathtaking.  This second speech on October 5th, 2024, was something America needed to see, and it was probably expressed best by Elon Musk, who attended and spoke, jumping around on stage like a little boy happy to go to a baseball game with his father.  There was an innocence to the wealthiest man in the world and one of the most successful acting like a young kid happy about the future.  It was a sincere moment that history will never forget and Trump set it all up by returning to a place of doom with an optimism very few people in the world could ever hope to achieve.  Yet that is what Trump has been offering: a way to defeat the machine of communism that is present in our current captured government and to rise above it by pushing fear aside and leading the world back to health.  But in the wake of it all, there are a few things to think about that are unique and life-changing and that everyone should be aware of. 

First of all, the crowd defied modern conventions.  It was like the day of the assassination attempt, with bullets flying around everyone, and nobody knew where the shots were coming from or even how many shooters there were.  Essentially, in the middle of a large crowd, there was a shootout because a well-placed sniper did get the shot off that killed the assassin.  People in the audience were hit and killed, and there was blood everywhere.  It was a significant tragedy.  But the Trump supporters didn’t run from the area like a bunch of cowards.  Instead, they ducked, they looked around, and they remained calm.  This is a reaction that years of Hollywood productions by skinny pants losers from Santa Monica screenwriting don’t understand about real Americans.  Not the latte-sipping sissies of Democrat areas, but the meat and potatoes people from the flyover states who aren’t afraid of their own shadow.  People under fire weren’t cowards and did not leave Trump’s side when, at that time, they had to assume he was killed.  Elon Musk was watching from afar and had the same reaction that everyone else did once Trump stood up and pumped his fist to the sky, saying fight, fight, fight with blood running down his face in defiance of the killer’s intentions.  That is the American spirit, and it was at that moment, Elon Musk decided to endorse President Trump, which was something I didn’t think would ever happen.  Given that Musk is a Democrat and had been trending toward Republicans over the last few years, supporting Ron DeSantis early in the process.  Trump’s courage under fire and real danger inspired Musk and many others to join the effort to reelect the president, which was a story that Musk retold while on stage to a captivated audience. 

But knowing what happened the first time, why would people want to come back and stand in line for more than 24 hours only to hear the same speech repeatedly?  Why would people even want to risk their lives to attend an outside rally where there are people who want to kill Trump, and they might be killed themselves in the process?  This was like having people return to the Kennedy assassination after it had happened and give a motivational speech about America from the spot of the killing.  What would provoke people to want to do such a thing?  Most people, including conservative commentators, had no idea how to answer that question.  Yet the rally had people there, many more than the previous time in July, as far as the eye could see.  People wanted to be there and tried to put danger on notice.  They were not going to be afraid.  They wanted to support Trump, be near him, and be a part of history, which was a magnificent occasion after all that has happened over the last several years.  The event was live-streamed to over 5 million people on social media, but millions would see it and witness a unique historical event in the days that followed.  The plans for America’s demise were failing, and people could feel it in the air. They wanted to play their part in recapturing our country from the clutches of vile globalism.  It was more of a military occasion without the bullets flying toward an enemy, but the impression was the same.  If global communism ruled with fear, these people defied that intention by attending and participating in that rally. 

However, Trump understood that he had brought something new to his typical rally format before the rally started.  He invited the noted tenor Christopher Macchio to perform before and after the speech in a display that I thought was jaw-dropping audacious.  And for Trump to flex that celebrity muscle then was ominously bold.  Macchio has performed for Trump before, most recently at the RNC event in Wisconsin, but again at the White House.  However, for Macchio to perform at the Butler, Pennsylvania Trump rally was a touch of class that could only come from the Trump Organization as a statement.  It was a statement that wasn’t needed, yet Macchio brought opera to a culture that doesn’t usually get exposed to that kind of thing.  And Macchio performed several songs after the rally; once the typical YMCA song ended with Trump dancing on stage, Christopher sang “Nessun Dorma,” “How Great Thou Art,” and “Hallelujah” to a stunned crowd.  I was stunned.  I thought it was incredibly classy and bold.  Obviously, like Musk, this very talented and rare individual and a top New York celebrity was full-throated in support of Trump.  Christopher Macchio was jumping around on stage in his own way with a compelling performance that was cheerleading Americans in the ways of the Power of Positive Thinking to overcome years of massive tragedy and to restore America to health in ways that people are just now coming to understand.  That was essentially what Trump was offering with this rally: not just returning to the spot to overcome the attempted fear but also overcoming it and overwhelming it by laughing at danger, even dancing on top of it.  But boldly, we continue our triumph over evil the way only opera as an art form could even be conceived.  Yet there it was, and now the MAGA movement had a soundtrack to march to, to take back our country from those who have been stealing it away for a long time.  Now, there was music to give life to the movement captured so wonderfully by Christopher Macchio.  And the world will never be the same.

‘The Art of Survival’: Winning as Americans

After the last election, I knew that people were scared and needed a voice through the darkness.  And I can write and talk even under the worst circumstances.  So, every day since that stolen election in 2020, where Biden was inserted to push out Trump with an obviously government-sponsored coup, I have written an article every day and filmed a video to go with them, and many millions of people have directly benefited.  If you have been paying attention, if you listen to a lot of talk radio on AM stations all over the country, podcasts, and cable news segments, it’s pretty normal for them to pluck ideas off my blog postings, which many influencers watch every day.  They need content, too.  I have been writing these blogs for many years, and I have put up an article every day, now for over 14 years, since 2010.  It was so successful that since about 2014, I just stopped doing personal interviews as a guest on radio and television; I just put my energy into being a content creator with my eye on providing a voice of reason to producers looking to fill airwaves with material that could help America get going again because the bad guys out there were playing for blood.  I thought about quitting the daily articles a few times during Trump’s first term.  But after he was removed from office, I doubled down to do everything I could in the background to keep the roots of our republic healthy because people, even the strongest people, have needed it.  But now that it’s coming to an end, now what?  I’m not sure, but I aim to do everything I can to help win this election, especially for Trump.  So, I have been reminiscing a lot lately and going back through all the Trump books I have read over the years, which inspired me to support Trump in the first place.  As I was watching Trump return to Butler, Pennsylvania, for a rally after the assassination attempt was applied to him there, I kept thinking of a much more little-known book of his called The Art of Survival, which is one of my favorites.  And I think many of you would enjoy it right now.  Because America is about to knock out its rivals, foreign and domestic, and a new day is dawning for us, it’s important that everyone understand what’s happening.

When The Art of the Deal happened, Trump was at the top of his industry, a very successful businessman, and he had crossed over to become one of the biggest celebrities in the world.  However, the wheels came off shortly after that book published in 1987.  After Reagan left office, the economy tanked.  I was so mad at George Bush Sr. as a 19-year-old kid that I began a crusade looking for a replacement, putting me in the Ross Perot house with his daughters on adventures that would fill several books themselves.  Along the way, I met people like Rob Portman, who I set up on a big town hall debate on WLW radio that helped him win his first congressional seat.  I did many other things to help, too, which could be an entire book of success similar to Trump’s writing about his life experiences.  But during this period, the wheels came off in life for many people.  Me included.  Trump lost his first wife, he lost several businesses, and he was looking like he was going to be bankrupt and broke for the rest of his life.  Later, in 1997, he wrote The Art of the Comeback, which I have said is the playbook for this second Trump term and an essential book that describes how he went from being many millions of dollars in debt, much poorer than a typical homeless person, and climbed back on top to become one of the world’s wealthiest people.  There was a book called The Art of Survival that was infinitely fascinating, and I saw that attitude fresh and again on the stage at that Butler Rally, and with the musical contributions of Christopher Macchio, which were just jaw-dropping fantastic.  Stunning!

Trump didn’t need to write another book or open a door to his personal life while everything was falling around him during this period.  But The Art of Survival is such a marvelous book about perseverance that even in his darkest hour, he wanted to help people pull themselves up when they were down and be better people.  It inspired me during that period to keep fighting, and fighting, and fighting, which I have always done in my life, too, including writing these articles every day, even when I don’t feel like it.  Because I see the hits I get on all this stuff, and hundreds of thousands of people per week consume my material daily.  And over a month, millions.  That’s a lot of people looking for a light in the dark.  And Trump always felt responsible for being that cheerful voice, even when it wasn’t good for him.  You can make some money with books, but not a lot.  So he didn’t write that Art of Survival for himself; he wrote it for people who look to him for leadership. 

Essentially, The Art of Survival is a lesson on why “The Eye of the Tiger” from Rocky III is an essential song for the American consciousness.  One of the prominent features in that book that was devastating for Trump was the fight of Mike Tyson losing to Buster Douglas.  It was devastating to Trump, who was getting into the business of promoting the young Tyson as he looked to be invincible.  And now he was a loser, and it hurt Trump.  I would say that out of everything that was happening badly to Trump during this period, Mike Tyson’s loss to Buster Douglas was the worst because of the psychology involved in winners becoming losers.  But Tyson would fight again and win most of his fights.  Trump would claw himself back from devastation and marry one of the most beautiful women in the world, and they would live a good life in a golden palace overlooking Central Park in New York.  Trump would become more successful than he achieved in the 80s under President Reagan.  As an older man who had seen the worst that the world could throw at him many times over by a powerful and corrupt government to keep him from running for president once again, he was there in Butler, Pennsylvania, as a champion of the world, and he was spiking the football in a much-deserved way.  That power of positive thinking caught the ear of the wealthiest person in the world, Elon Musk, who was excited and very boyish in his enthusiasm for supporting a second Trump term.  And I thought of that book.  If you can get a copy, you might want to read it because we live in an exciting moment in history, and I think you will find in The Art of Survival the critical ingredient for what comes next, and we will all enjoy it quite a lot.

Why ‘The View’ Hates Melania Trump: Making American Great Again by making woman beautiful again

Typically, there are natural rules, and if you are a slack-jawed loser, you likely won’t have a good-looking woman on your arm at social engagements.  But women on The View are ordinary and easy to get and they tend to get the lazy, useless men who don’t put a lot into their efforts. Most always loser men have an ugly woman like Whoopi Goldberg or Joy Behar as wives, which is why they are all so angry all the time.  Ugly women do not get the same advantages in life, the same access to high-quality, attractive men.  So secretly, deep down inside, the hatred of Melania Trump for marrying President Trump back when he was just a very successful real estate mogul is due purely to looks and physical appearance.  And you can hear that hatred in the voices of the people who talk about Melania Trump.  But it’s not Melania’s fault that she is beautiful or that she was a successful fashion model well before she ever met Donald Trump.  It doesn’t matter about the superficial elements of a marriage, where someone like Donald Trump wanted a beautiful woman to hang on his arm to show sexual domination over rival males; it is just a fact of life.  Nor did it matter that Melania offered herself up in such a fashion so that she could live in a golden palace overlooking Central Park in New York.  Watching Donald and Melania Trump over the years, and meeting them a few times, I have watched them grow together in ways that long marriages tend to, where personal looks and sexuality become much less important over time.  Initially, however, it is everything in life. Successful men need to let rivals know of their sexual prowess by being seen in public with the best-looking women. It is up to the most beautiful women to force a society of degenerate males to step up their game and be the best version of themselves that they can be so that a gorgeous woman might give them the time of day. Attractive women have and always will make the world a better place by making men perform better to live in it.

But Melania Trump is more than just another pretty face.  She is a classy and sophisticated woman too, someone who has deep thoughts about things and for brain-dead slugs who look like used-up toilet paper, like the women who are typically on The View, or as I say about school levy supporters who are much the same, and whom I say often have asses the size of car tires and diamond rings to match as Latte Sipping Prostitutes, ugly people tend to turn toward socialism to try to use powerful central governments to make the world more fair and much less competitive because the last thing they want is to be in a room and have someone like Melania Trump come into it and steal away their husbands, which is as good as they are ever going to get.  But once Melania Trump opens her mouth and starts talking in one of her five languages, any hopes of competition with her fly out the window, so all these other women over the last several years since Trump was in office picked on Melania relentlessly out of frustration because they can’t compete with her on any front. Intelligent women are just too much for women who are short on resources, and let’s face it, that’s most of the human population.  It’s not fair to Melania to have been treated as she has just because she’s beautiful.  But changing the way the human race deals with each other won’t be altered overnight.  It will take many thousands of additional years, and likely the ability to become multi-planetary, where fundamental values about success and sexual customs change over time.

When you think of beautiful women, not all are criticized on The View.  Heidi Klum is an interesting case because she is also a former supermodel, even more successful than Melania.  But she is very popular with other women, so why is that?  Well, Heidi takes her clothes off a lot as one of the hosts of America’s Got Talent, but she doesn’t do it in a sexy way; she does much of her nudity in a music festival mosh pit kind of way that makes all the derelicts of the world feel like she is downplaying her looks for their benefit.  And with all her beauty, she is married to a much younger man; the current guy is kind of a beta male guitarist who writes songs that lets other women know that Heidi isn’t looking to steal away their husbands because she is attached to a douchebag just like they are.  Not somebody who thinks his stuff doesn’t stink, who is very competitive like Trump, and puts his woman in a golden palace in New York society to live in or to reside in the summers in Mar-a-Lago.  Heidi Klum sells herself to the public as a typical party girl, and other women who have debased themselves over the years with public intoxication and various states of passed-out undress see her as one of the girls.  But Melania is their worst nightmare because instead of growing older and more compromised, Melania still has an outward projection of herself that has turned inward toward her privacy instead of letting down her guard to be one of the droopy slugs in life like Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar.

All this has come about because Melania Trump is becoming more present in President Trump’s campaign with the release of her new book, Melania.  She took a few years off to raise her son as a stay-at-home mom, which has ticked off the women of The View.  Again, I have very personal experience with this.  My mom was a stay-at-home mom and was deeply ridiculed by other women for it.  My wife’s whole life has been as a stay-at-home mom, and she experienced very harsh treatment from other women for her decisions to stay home and not be part of the feminist movement.  I have never put her in a position to commit herself to a boss and work outside the home.  And my two daughters have the same expectations and are currently stay-at-home moms.  They have their own businesses, but their lives center around their children as their primary focus.  Beyond looks, other women who are not as committed to their children or would like to be hate other women who are.  And when I say “hate,” I think there needs to be a stronger word.  So Melania, as a former supermodel married to a billionaire and having very high standards in life, who stayed home with her son to teach him the traditional way is detrimental to the life choices of below-the-line thinkers, who trend toward socialism as a management of the public.  But many people are reluctant to admit that the roles women have played in our society have been wrong, and they want Melania’s message.  This is coming about just in time to melt the faces of The View and the old Oprah crowd, and for all the right reasons.  It wasn’t so bad during Trump’s first term in office because Melania stayed quiet and to herself.  They made fun of her Christmas decorations in the White House, but otherwise, Melania stayed comfortably in the background.  But not this time.  This time, Melania is presenting herself purposefully in a much more public way, and in her own way, she is uncovering some deep, dark secrets looming in the background.  It’s about time to make America great again by starting with moms and beautiful women.  Nothing improves the actions of others, especially men, than a woman with high standards and the looks to sell it to a hungry public.  And other women know it, and this is precisely why they hate Melania Trump and any other beautiful women because of their personal choices and the states of their personal neglect.  In such a world, they can’t compete, and that is the root cause of most of their anger, which has been holding down our society needlessly.

‘The Art of the Deal’: Trump’s magnificant historical significance

With Trump about to re-enter the White House, after all that he has been through, and all of us, I am thinking about the road that brought us all here quite a lot lately.  A lot of it feels providential.  Especially when I think back on the many books that Trump wrote that were self-help in nature.  And if the question had to be answered as to why Donald Trump wants to be president, I think he told himself and everyone else the answer to that question in his very first book and his most famous, The Art of the Deal.  That is a book that I love a lot, and I have read it many times over the years.  The copy I have in the video is one I bought in 2015 when he was running for president, and I’d carry it around with me in case I had a chance to get him to sign it, which I had an opportunity to do at least twice.  In 2015, it wasn’t so hard to get access to him.  It was nearly impossible after he became president.  But in 2015, when nobody, including most area Republicans, thought he had a snowball’s chance, I was one of his early cheerleaders. I was heavily involved in his early rallies, especially at the Savannah Center in West Chester, Ohio.  Then again, I was at the Sharonville Convention Center, where I was given VIP access to that event.  But I’m never that guy who worships celebrities.  Later, I would learn my lesson on being so discreet with Vivek Ramaswamy and J.D. Vance on getting my books signed.  If I get another chance, I’ll have Trump sign my current copy of The Art of the Deal because of its enormous historical significance.  I read a lot, and my grandchildren, my great-grandchildren, and their children will most likely remember me for my books and love of reading as they go through my things over the next hundred years; I think some of these signatures will be important to them.  Perhaps inspire them to reach their own levels of greatness by example.  And President Trump’s signature on anything will say a lot about this current age. 

The Art of the Deal is a book I have loaned out to many people over the years who have asked to borrow it.  I have an extensive collection of books that have always been the ones people ask me to read.  But it’s also the book they are least likely to bring back.  The 2015 edition was released after Trump left The Apprentice and launched his presidential campaign.  But since then, publishers and media companies have been trying to pull Trump’s books off the market by not replacing the ones out there so they can pretend that one of the most well-known celebrities in the world doesn’t exist.  But with that one, I didn’t complain much; I would buy another one after people didn’t bring it back because I felt that more of those books floating around out there were good for the country.  This is, of course, before Trump was president and why I was an early supporter.  I first read The Art of the Deal when it came out and was on the top of the charts at number one in the fall of 1987, which was an extraordinary time for me.  It was my first year out of high school; I was engaged to my wife and trying to find ways that I could bring success to our family.  Trump was the hottest ticket in the world toward self-help success and the embodiment of achievement during Reaganomics.  My wife and I would spend most of our evenings at her parent’s house, and they were very successful.  So there was a lot of pressure on me by the nature of expectation so I had to learn a lot, fast.

We were planning a fancy wedding at the Beckett Ridge Country Club, where they were members.  There was more going on here than just kindness.  My wife was a fashion model at the time, and she was being groomed for New York society in that industry, and I was in the way of that.  So, the expectations for me were very high, so I would sit each night and read many books about success and how to get it because that was the world I was stepping into to have a wife like that.  Trump had some wise words based on his personal experience.  Out of all the books on success and finance, I read that year under those conditions, it was The Art of the Deal that most spoke to me and gave me the impression that it would be an essential book someday, even beyond the measure of a New York Times bestseller.  As I read the book, I thought this guy would be a good next president.  The Reagan years were ending, and George Bush offered to continue the goodwill.  But I was suspicious.  It would take someone with a lot of energy who loved talking to people and making deals who would need to continue Reagan’s excellent work.  That line of thinking would later encourage me to step away from Bush and the other Republicans at the time and go on quite a young adventure with Ross Perot and his daughters down in Texas, but that’s a whole story of its own. 

What is most evident in The Art of the Deal is that Trump is doing all this running-for-president stuff for more than revenge after all that has been done to him.  He is one of the most positive people functioning in the world today, and he has a unique sense of business and communication that few people ever master, and he loves bringing people together.  He likes people a lot more than I do.  He enjoys making deals, so The Art of the Deal was an important book.  Before Trump came along, I didn’t know that any successful people enjoyed making deals like Trump did.  As President of the United States, he would get a chance every day to have the life he talked about at the beginning of that now-famous book.  Trump is happiest when every minute of every day is filled with talking to people and helping them succeed.  And making deals with people doesn’t mean screwing them over, but finding mutual benefits in working together that they might not see themselves.  And that Trump could invent that role for himself lent directly to this idea that he would be a great president.  And as the years would tell, he was.  And now he’s poised to do it again.  And if I had to do it again, I don’t have many regrets, but the times that I met Trump, I just stood there cooly, not getting wrapped up in his celebrity; in the context of history, I’d get him to sign The Art of the Deal for me.  It’s been a long history, and the significance of that book can’t be underestimated, especially in the context of this second term.  I think I do love President Trump.  I don’t feel that way about many people in the world, and my support of him started with that book many years ago.  Ross Perot was the next best thing for me in those early years, which began with The Art of the Deal and my need to be successful in life because I was expected to be successful because of the person I married.  But more than all that, The Art of the Deal was an insight into the future before the rest of the world realized how important it would be and how the future of all human civilization has formed around it uniquely.  And it’s been a journey I have enjoyed being a part of.

If You Don’t Have People Trying to Kill You, You Aren’t Working Hard Enough to do Good in Life: President Trump is tough and understands

I have another saying that I use a lot.  I probably say it several times a week to somebody, and that is, “If people are not plotting against you or, in extreme cases, trying to kill you, you aren’t trying to do enough good in the world.”  It was a bit of a running joke the other day as I talked to one of the gun range instructors there with my wife while we were all shooting, and my lifestyle came up.  We were talking about my choice of concealed carry weapons, which I take everywhere with me at all times, and that is my .50 caliber Desert Eagle and my Smith & Wesson .500 Magnum.  My wife joked to the instructor who was pretty shocked to hear all the stories.  It’s not something I advertise, but as she said, “Everyone is trying to kill my husband.”  And it’s true, I wouldn’t say everyone, as I corrected her, but I would say many people.  Most people won’t go to that extreme, but it all starts with plotting and scheming for your demise.  And when they get frustrated with routine failures to remove you from their life, then they start plotting to kill you.  And to that point, I have an unusual life that I don’t talk about very much; during the day, I seldom take the same roads to places.  I usually find three or four ways to get where I’m going because back in the day, I had several personal friends who were hitmen, and they would tell me how they got rid of people, and I have remembered those things for my own life.  And getting caught at a traffic light thinking about other things is a good way not to come home that day.  Hit squads do and will case out a route they believe you’ll be on, and they will try to take shots at you while you are at traffic lights because, usually, those are very vulnerable times.

And I say the same thing about President Trump, I am not at all surprised that there are plots to kill him.  He has done an excellent job as a leader, which usually means there are many people who want to do bad things in the world and want to remove you as a pressure mechanism of expectation in their life to do better.  In a lazy world, people who don’t want to live up to the example you set as a good person will always ultimately try to kill you.  It’s a fact of life.  But the other thing that I say all the time, and have proved accurate many times, is just because people want to kill you, it doesn’t mean they can.  You can do many things to turn the tables on them and ruin their lives for their ill intentions toward you.  And most of those things don’t involve guns.  It’s great that President Trump survived the assassination attempts against him, but even as people were talking about them, my first thought wasn’t, “Did he survive.”  I expected him to survive. I would have been surprised if they had hit him because I understand the power of positive thinking, and Trump embodies that.  So, having excellent luck is part of that kind of mind.  I would say another 100 plots against Trump could be attempted, and he would likely survive every one of them because of his tendency toward luck, providence, or personal persuasion skills.  Ultimately, it is hard to kill people, even among the professional types, especially if the target is aware that attempts are active.  Once a person comes to terms with “death marks,” it is much harder to bring a person down, unaware.  It comes with being a tough guy, and Trump is, that you come to terms with the intentions that people have for your personal destruction, and part of the game of success is in denying them of their wishes. 

One of the great sins of our modern times, and even in our ancient past, was the corruptive power of appeasement that most people utilize to take the edge off those who would love to kill you.  Too many people who intend to do good in the world work very hard to make friends with people who don’t deserve that friendship.  Our society tries to make friends with its attackers rather than turn the tables on evil.  If a person resists the temptations of evil, there will be plots and schemes attempting to destroy you in any way possible.  There is no way to make friends and appease evil.  Evil must be fought, even to the death.  Giving people a chance to meet you on your terms of goodness is nice.  But it is evil to compromise with evil for your self-preservation.  Another thing I say all the time (I’m saying many things today that I say all the time, literally dozens of times per week) is why God said to put on his armor and trust him when things get scary.  He told the Israelites to take the land of Canaan, but they were scared of all the reports of giants in the land as their adversaries, so they hesitated rather than trusting God to take care of them when they had to face down a superior enemy with much more deadly force.  Ultimately, that is the story of Joshua. Once the next generation had died off, a new one led by the descendants of Moses finally attacked.  God had their back, and miracles of survival happened abundantly.  Another thing I say a lot, several times a week, when they tell me, “How do you know God exists?”   And I always reply, “Follow me around one day and watch what happens.  You’ll believe in God by supper.” 

And Trump learned this attitude a long time ago.  You don’t run around chicken of every insult and intention against you.  If people like you, then there is something wrong because most people don’t just like other people and suddenly want to hold your hand.  And there isn’t a government ever created on earth that can protect you from ill intentions.  The best way to protect yourself from the world’s evils is through competition, where the bad must compete with the good in open warfare.  Evil people often turn to plots to kill their antagonizers when they lose and have no redeeming path to success.  So when people are plotting to kill you, you should take that as a compliment.  It means you are doing an excellent job in the world.  If you are trying to appease those plotters with kind words and gestures, then you are sacrificing integrity for the possibility of living through the day by calling off their goons.  It’s not like you get up every morning looking for trouble, but if you plan to live your life free of other people, you will likely gain enemies and lots of them.  And when they profess and act in ways to kill you, then that is the ultimate compliment that you are doing an excellent job in the world.  It would be best if you never feared it.  But instead, knowing that should put a smile on your face.  I see that Trump understands it.  And now people who wonder why I am always smiling, well, you know why.  I love that Trump is genuinely a tough guy.  I always thought of him as one, but now that he has survived several assassination attempts, he’s part of that unique club that I respect more than any other trait in the human race.  And because people are trying to kill him, it means he’s doing a great job as President of the United States, unofficially at the moment.  But soon, officially.

The “Passive Aggressive” World War: Domestic enemies like the Soros family, intend to reduce the Executive Branch as one of their key strategies of American destruction

This is probably the first passive-aggressive world war anybody has seen, but don’t kid yourself. The world is at war with the United States, and they have their recruits within our nation as domestic enemies.  And they reveal themselves by their actions, mainly when you see that these villains have been purposely trying to dumb down the Executive Branch for many years now, overtly, to demoralize us into complacency and a turnover of our country to the hands of the United Nations as a one world government.  Their goal has not been to bomb us into submission with physical bombs or ground troops landed as they did in Red Dawn.  They have been seeking to undermine us with erosions of our Bill of Rights and to loot our patriotism with the reality of defeat, which they have been organizing in the background for several decades now.  Who are these villains, you might ask, who are seeking to take us over?  You can start with the radical group of globalists at the World Economic Forum.  And you can see them in the Open Border Societies that are directly connected to George Soros and his rinky dink little son.  If you have to put names next to actions, that’s an excellent place to start.  But then you would meet them directly in the people behind giving Joe Biden those little presidential podiums that look like a cheap television studio for comments on the meat and potatoes of the severity of this war.  Because those actions have a purposeful psychological desire, and they are warfare just as clearly as any other act of it has ever been defined to a human mind.  And because it is war, we must deal with these attackers as we would any other military enterprise and not be accommodating of their “rights” as citizens of America, if that’s what they are.  When they act against the flag, they surrender the rights and due process of the American way of life. 

There has been a lot of talk about how Joe Biden presents big news to the public from that little podium they have been giving him as opposed to the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office or some other location in the White House that projects strength and power.  They have been using Joe Biden to present information to the public to take the power of the Executive Branch as the leader of the free world and make it all look like just another global consultant firm with a back seat on world affairs.  This process started with Barack Obama and Glenn Beck when he was still at Fox News used to make a big deal about it.  The purposeful use of removing the glamour of the Executive Branch and suppressing it in the eyes of the world to look like just another leader.  Not the main one that leads the world in every topic, which is how it has been in the last century.  Knocking the American Executive Branch down to size then was an apparent campaign of demoralization of the American people to show them that they did not have a right to pick a leader of the world and to impose that leader on them financially.  When you shake the raccoon out of the sleeping bag here, it all traces back to centralized banking and their desire to run the world’s governments by controlling the fiscal policy of all nations.  So this is an overt turf war that many didn’t know was happening, but it is one of the worst wars we’ve ever fought, and no army on earth can win it for us because the enemy has deliberately turned to emotional passive-aggressive warfare instead of overt warfare, which is represented in tangible assets.  But it is war just the same.

I have always been aware of this war, but it came to a fine point for me on two occasions recently; first was the excellent book by Trump called Save America, which is a collection of photos from his years in office and campaigning for this next term of service before the 2024 election.  No wonder they hate him so much, reflecting on that book, because Trump does what he does with everything, and that elevates it in the public’s minds with positive branding.  It is a remarkable book if you look at it the way the enemies of America do.  That book is the opposite of what they are trying to project upon the United States to fulfill their military objectives.  Trump’s book Save America is on the New York Times best-seller list, which doesn’t make them happy.  If you take the sales from Winning Teams Publishing, the group producing all these new Trump books, and the bookstore sales that the New York Times is tracking, Save America is the number one book in the country, a remarkable achievement.  It also reveals how hungry people subconsciously are to have an executive branch, picked by the people, to run America and the world.  That is the offering that Trump is proposing for his next election. The Soros money that believes they can purchase the seat away from the American people with Kamala Harris are frustrated by the efforts because they thought Trump was done. They thought the nation’s people were conquered assets to centralized banking and the desires of the United Nations. 

But deeper than that, and I am so glad that we did it, I took my family on a big trip out west a few years into the Biden administration, and one of our big stops was Mt. Rushmore.  It was like a religious event; we arrived early, and I immediately, with my daughters and grandchildren, went down to the spot of the previous 4th of July ceremony where Trump and Melania gave an excellent speech motivating Americans toward patriotic endeavors.  Upon standing there and visiting the location extensively that day, I understood all the fuss and why the inserted Biden administration wanted to cancel the fireworks at the famous monument.  It was to diminish in the public’s minds their impression of patriotism.  They did not want people to revere the Mt. Rushmore site; there aren’t Democrats on that wall of rock.  Mt. Rushmore does not embody the goals of the globalists, which is to conquer America and replace their enthusiasm with sex, drugs, and dumb minds made that way through public education and college hazing rituals.  And they certainly don’t want a Trump to give strength again to the Executive Branch and to restore in the mind of the public a sense of patriotism that they have been working to destroy for many years now.  What do you think the kneeling during NFL games during the National Anthem was all about?  It was an attack, like any other, and the perpetrators should be punished in a capital way because of their malicious intent.  None of this is by accident.  It has been purposeful, and from my perspective upon these stated observations, there is nothing accidental about any of it.  Destroying the impression of the Executive Branch, which Trump is promising to Make Great Again, is to stop a military incursion by borderless hostilities functioning from the façade of the United Nations toward a one-world government of tyranny and injustice for all.  And we can’t tolerate that, not in the least.

Democrats Have Always Hated the 15th Amendment: What Joe Biden really meant by wearing a MAGA hat

There has been a lot of speculation about why Joe Biden put on a MAGA hat when it was presented to him at a recent campaign event.  Not only did he wear it, but he also carried it back with him to the plane when leaving the campaign stop.  The speculation has been that Biden is doing as Trump suggested at the last debate and is wearing the hat to spite Kamala Harris and the government system that wants to put her in power.  So, in his vastly passive-aggressive manner, Biden rebelled against Kamala and the Democrat party by supporting President Trump.  After all, it was a kind of running joke during the debate when Trump told Kamala that he was about to send her a MAGA hat because she had essentially switched all her platform points to adopt those of MAGA.  Essentially saying to the world, “Whatever Trump said,” as a desperate means to gain some favorability with a public not very excited about her beyond the same old derelicts who support typical Democrat policies.  Secretly, so went the belief Biden was supporting Trump because of what the Democrats did to him.  I don’t think it’s as simple as that, although it’s an interesting thought.  I believe there is something much more sinister going on and that Biden, in his elderly condition, was too oblivious to know he was giving away to the public a kind of tongue-in-cheek playbook that has been going on for a long time, and he was so confident in its outcome, that putting on the Trump hat was an act of uselessness as if to say, “no matter what you people do, you’re not in charge.  We’ll say and do anything to stay in power for power’s sake.  Elections are mere formalities.” 

I first thought of the Reconstruction period after the Civil War.  A lot of people don’t know or remember that it was Republicans, and radical ones at that, who fought the Civil War to free people from slavery.  It was after the 15th Amendment to the Constitution that the Southern Democrats were forced to accept that people of color could vote when the wheels of peace came off, and essentially, a second civil war ensued for the next 100 years.  It would work against Democrats to such an extent that they finally captured the policies of the GOP and took them as their own regarding the Civil Rights Acts of that period in the late 1950s and 1960s.  Before all that, Democrats, through policies of gross domestic terrorism, were openly committing violence against blacks and white Republicans all through the South by the thousands.  It was Republicans who fought the battle to free all people, and it was explicitly President Grant who pushed for it even with the massively violent opposition that was flung in his direction, just as President Trump is being treated to this very day.  The KKK was formed as an overt form of radicalism to fight back against the Grant imposed 15th Amendment giving blacks the right to vote and it lasted well into the modern age we know so well.  Joe Biden has been in office so long that many of his early friends as Democrats were leftovers from this Reconstruction period, where Democrats sought to undo the Republican efforts with KKK violence and adopting the positions of Grant’s administration, which Teddy Roosevelt would continue a few decades later much to the anger of Democrats, by adopting their policies as their own to gain power, but then to lie to the public when pressed and behave much differently legislatively. 

Republicans have been at fault by being too trusting with their typical “golly gee” approach to everything, expecting Democrats to be as honest as they are.  But Joe Biden has never been an honest person.  What the Democrats finally did with Civil Rights in the 1960s was essentially steal the Republican platform so that they could acquire power and use that power to essentially do all they wanted to resist during Reconstruction and toss America back into the arms of Europe through Marxism which had always been lingering in the background of the Southern love of aristocracy and a cotton trade with the mother countries of Europe.  They never wanted or fully adopted the American Constitution as it was presented, not during the Continental Congress or the Civil War.  Their economy was locked up into European trade and love of aristocracy, which is still a big part of their story today.  When Democrats put people into office like Barack Obama or Kamala Harris, it’s for them no different than Joe Biden putting on a MAGA hat.  Even though Biden has violently spoken against Make America Great Again policies, the joke by putting on the hat was an elderly mistake that indicated to what extent he and other Democrats would do to acquire power, by whatever means.  If they didn’t, they’d get no chance to fight back against the kind of policies that came from Abraham Lincoln and President Grant, leading to the Civil War and the freeing of slaves by Republicans, creating Reconstruction that led to the second American Civil War, which lasted up until late 1959 when Democrats decided to adopt the Republican platform cosmetically, so that they could undo it behind the scenes ones they tricked people into voting them into power.  And that has been their strategy in the modern age, leading right up to Joe Biden putting on that MAGA hat as a joke, but done with unusual sincerity that shocked many people. 

In his old age, Joe Biden has become arrogant to the point where he doesn’t care what people think.  He believes in the process of Democrats lying to the public to acquire power, and if anybody questions the effort, he and others will lie straight to your face.  They will say and do anything to gain control because it’s only then that they can do what they want.  And if they have to lie, steal, or cheat to do it, then so be it.  That is why Kamala Harris, rather than running on a platform of hating the MAGA movement, is suddenly saying that she supports gun rights and border security.  She is talking about inflation as if she had nothing to do with its current increases.  Kamala Harris has adopted the Trump MAGA policies for only one reason: to be elected so she can gain power and do what Democrats have always done: lie to get into office, then turn the country against the Constitution and steer us all back to Europe.  Their hatred of the 15th Amendment was an act of terrorism they never got over, and they approached the matter in the extreme by essentially recapturing people of color as a block voting group to use for their purposes by making them so dependent on free government giveaways, that they were essentially put back in the chains of slavery before there was ever a Constitution or a 15th Amendment.  And not until Trump came along did the code finally get cracked and exposed as to what they were up to all along.  And to hide that fact, Kamala Harris is adopting many of Trump’s policies, hoping to hoodwink Trump supporters until she can win office and can conduct her real strategy, which Democrats concealed from the public.  Until we deal with that trend once and for all, we will continue to have massive problems, and there will always be a civil war brewing in the background because they do not like America or our Constitution and have been at war with it now for centuries.  They lie to gain power, which Joe Biden intended by laughing about and putting on that hat. Because he and most of the Democrats of his party know what they plan, and they think we are all suckers who will fall for it, as we have in the past.

Trump’s ‘Save America’: Quite simply, one of the most important books ever produced in the history of the world

To say Trump’s new book ‘Save America’ is one of the best books ever produced might seem unfair, but I can’t think of another time in the world when such a thing was ever made, which will be so significant in memory.  It’s not that the book is scholarly in what it says, but what it shows that matters.  The books the Trump family calls “coffee table books” have been riveting.  This latest one, Save America, is the third in a series that photographically chronicles the Trump presidency and is very optimistic in its approach, which reflects Trump’s outlook on life shaped by The Power of Positive Thinking.  Winning the Presidency was one of the most important and fulfilling things that President Trump has ever done, and he shows in these books what the office means to him.  I wanted to get my hands on Save America, which came out on September 3rd from Winning Teams Publishing, which Don Jr. is behind, and like all the books they produce, this one has just a few extra steps in quality that you expect from anything coming from the Trump Organization.  So it’s a bit more than just a book, it’s a statement about an optimistic vision for its contents.  Trump golf courses are not just golf courses but experiences beyond the game.  In everything he does, Trump always puts a bit of class into his work, and that is certainly what he did with the Presidency of the United States of America.  Trump wasn’t just president; he made the role of the Executive Branch an experience and took it into what Americans expect from the office while it’s now quite clear that the world has been cheerleading its demise.  So, a photographic journey of that experience says a lot more than words can.

What is stunning about this book is the context.  It was obviously in production to be a final statement of what Trump was offering to the public before the November election.  But during that production, a lot happened in the world that would be talked about for thousands of years in the future.  And when you consider that Google has been trying to erase the image of President Trump being shot in an assassination attempt from the internet, publishing this book with it displayed vividly on the cover was going to ensure that such a thing would never be possible.  Because of its quality and what it shows, this book Save America will have incredible relevance thousands of years from now as historians try to grasp what happened in the world around 2024.  Many things are going to happen because of this year, and many bad characters have been rooted out into the open.  The scope of all of this is captured wonderfully in Trump’s new book.  He is showing himself with most of the world leaders who are essential at this moment, which puts the presidency on a massive scale and shows it far superior to the United Nations.  In contrast, many of the Marxist schemes of the world seem small in comparison.   Trump has done something remarkable with this book, defining the American presidency as the leader of the world, and key to the future.  What might have started as a political contribution to the election season has become a statement against tyranny in response to the most ostentatious display of overt authoritarianism ever witnessed on a mass scale. 

The book opens ironically with the famous mug shot of Trump being arrested in Georgia over questioning what we now know is the most outstanding example of election fraud ever attempted.  And the authority figures of our time have used lawfare to prosecute a former sitting president and to throw him in jail for essentially capturing an office they thought they controlled.  And their anger at him was for interrupting their destruction of the American idea.   And for that, by arresting him, they were imposing upon all of us what they intended to do as authority figures on the heels of the COVID-19 virus, which we also know was created in a lab in China for the purposeful destruction of the human race as we know it.  That mug shot picture means so much, and Trump has put his arm around it and made it part of him in a positive way, which is something perhaps only he could have done.  Then, the book ends quite literally with the assassination attempt of his life after being shot in the head and with blood running down his face, which took place literally just a few weeks ago.  Historically speaking, it is a stunning chronology of world events captured in one book, which is why it will have a lasting impact well into the future.  It would be fantastic if historical figures who have endured a lot in their lives captured that power so visually.  But that’s what we have here where essentially the world, even Democrats like Elon Musk and Robert F. Kennedy, have united behind Trump to propel his vision for what Making America Great Again means and what it means to the world.  Between those two events, Trump shows his optimistic vision and interaction daily through his presidency, the post-presidency, and then up to the campaign and election in November through the Republican Convention, making J.D. Vance his Vice President. 

I quite literally read hundreds of books per year.  I finish a new one about every two or three days.  So, I have quite a collection over the years and have seen a lot of production going into how books should be put together, from the binding to the quality of the paper.  If I could be said to have a particular love, which is a running joke in my family, it is for the smell of freshly printed pages and the quality of a binding.  Of all the books in the world, I especially like those produced by the English publishers Thames and Hudson, who do a lot of books for Stone Henge, the English Heritage site, and The British Museum.  They are heavy, meaty books that are designed to last for many hundreds of years.  Those are the types of books that Winning Teams Publishing produces and of the quality of Save America.  The little bits intend to last and make a bold proclamation to do so.  The joke in my family is that my grandchildren laugh when I say that I love the smell of books so much that I want Grandma to have a perfume that smells like a book.  And the joke is that I’m not kidding.  And that’s what is great about Trump’s book, Save America.  It has the substance of everything such a book would want to be.  But, it also has that quality that proclaims its importance in a personal library for many centuries to come and is a statement to the tides of tyranny that have loomed in the background since the beginning of time.  Only now, in this age of 2024, with the promise of a second Trump term in the American Executive Office, is there a chance that such optimism overcoming so much devastating tragedy would ever have an opportunity to grow.  Yet it is captured as such in this new book, and I can’t recommend it enough to anybody thinking about it.

That’s No Moon, It’s the United Nations: Democrats joining Trump to fight the Death Star of global politics

This is part of the movie shown in the very first Star Wars film, A New Hope, where they are flying in deep space, and Ben Kenobi says to Han Solo as he was chasing down a Tie Fighter headed for a small moon, or so they thought, “that’s no moon, that’s a space station.”  Han Solo says, “That’s too big to be a space station.”  Kenobi says, “Turn the ship around.”  Solo says, “I think you’re right.” But it was too late.  Their ship was caught in a tractor beam, and they were all prisoners because they didn’t recognize what had been hiding in plain sight fast enough.  The Empire had been growing quietly in power in the background, and nobody had thought they had weapons like a Death Star at their disposal.  It had been built secretly, being too big for people to assume it could be real.  And by the time they realized what it was, it was too late.  That’s why people across many generations so loved those old Star Wars movies.  People naturally have an uneasy consideration about power and what it can do through the influence of the government.  The more recent Star Wars movies don’t get it; they are primarily concerned with silly stuff like the color of a lightsaber.  It was not the content of the struggle itself, which few films ever managed to capture, but the first two Star Wars movies did.  People are always uneasy about what power can do to their lives, and those old movies dealt with that issue in a way that meant something to many people who couldn’t quite put their finger on what they fear most.  And that point in that first movie best articulates people’s true feelings about the natural world around them, presented in a fictional context. 

I talk about these things all the time; I have been exceptionally well aware that many space stations out there threaten the human race.  Most people don’t think about those things and will only let themselves consider such a possibility in the kind of fiction they consume.  But what we have been learning about Joe Biden and his replacement, Kamala Harris, is that there is a real menace functioning behind the scenes of the Democrat Party, and a lot of people are jumping ship because they realize that the menace is a form of Death Star, a machine of globalism that is threatening to destroy everything regarding the freedoms we hold dear.  So this election with Trump in the fall of 2024 is no longer a Republican versus Democrat kind of thing; it’s now a joint effort of rebellion against a globalist machine that has been in power for a long time.  But we refused to see it until we were caught by a tractor beam and pulled ruthlessly toward it.  As everyone knows, in Star Wars, after the heroes are captured, the rest of the movie is about escaping and destroying that ominous machine, and it’s a lot of fun watching them do it.  And that fun has now lasted for several decades.  But we are no longer talking about fiction here; the Death Star is real, and it has been against America’s choice in government and has been seeking to destroy it.  And the more President Trump was involved in politics, the more it forced them to reveal themselves.  They never planned for him to survive this long, but because he has, the plot of this movie has moved from conspiracy theory to fact, and that realization has been terrifying to people.

You could hear it in Nicole Shanahan’s and Robert F. Kennedy’s voices as they moved from an independent ticket after quitting the Democrat Party and running for president, only to join Trump in those efforts.  She was recently on the Glenn Beck Show explaining why California Democrats are joining the Republican Party behind President Trump, and it was fascinating to hear.  These are the people in that Millennium Falcon cockpit who are wondering if that small moon was a massive space station run by an oppressive galactic government.  And they are realizing now that it is, and they want to turn the ship around and escape.  But there is no escape.  Now they want to join people who can help them fight this menace.  The same could be said of Tulsi Gabbard, who has been turning away from the Death Star for several years, starting as a Democrat Congresswoman and evolving into an independent supporting President Trump with an endorsement and even helping campaign with him.  And we all know how this movie ends.  All the heroes are joining to fight a mutual enemy and save the day.  At this point, I think that is more than an optimistic appraisal.  Yes, the machine has been running in the background, but its power is in secrecy.  Once people know what’s going on, they can attack and destroy it, which is the essential plot of the Star Wars movies.  The power of the bad guys is in secrecy, and what they conceal behind masks, such as the character of Darth Vader or the Emperor, a Sith Lord pretending to be a typical senator serving his constituents, is the real threat.

The new Disney Star Wars movies don’t understand this because they are part of that machine.  Even in Star Wars, the bad guys think they are doing the right things, and we must know that many of the tyrants of the World Economic Forum and the United Nations think they are on the right side of history.  But what is at threat is something that everyone can agree on, and even Democrats are seeing it these days.  If people like Nicole Shanahan are seeing it, you know there are a lot of traditional Democrats who are also seeing it, and they are going to be voting for President Trump.  These aren’t the kinds of things that polling traditionally captures in its analysis.  Should we turn away from the Death Star or not?  That’s not a typical polling question, so what’s going to end up happening is that there will be a massive turnout for Trump that is not being noticed at this point in the movie.  But destroying the machine is something everyone can rally behind, and that is what the 2024 election has become all about.  And Kamala Harris and her cackling communists are the Darth Vaders who pose a threat to the world.  And that world is uniting behind President Trump.  It’s not that any of this is new.  But people see it for what it is.  Perhaps that is the point of the big picture: people had to go through all this to appreciate the real threat in the world.  Kamala Harris isn’t a person; she’s a machine, and Constitutional principles do not bind the people who run her.  So, to them, there is no Bill of Rights and no American sovereignty.  There is only service to the system of tyranny of global politics.  And nobody wants that, especially now that they see that was the threat.  We didn’t see it fast enough, and that machine captured us.  But the point of the movie and life is to escape from that machine and, ultimately, destroy it so it can never threaten us again.  When they raided him at his home, prosecuted him, and threatened him with jail, then they tried to kill him and missed, the Empire showed who they were.  And now people from all kinds of backgrounds and political beliefs are rallying behind Trump for the destruction of the Death Star, once and for all, before that threat turns on them too as it always does.

The Phantom Menace of Jack Smith: Yes, you can indict a ham sandwich

It’s a question that comes up all the time, especially in regard to the federal prosecutor and United Nations lap dog, Jack Smith: can you indict a ham sandwich?  Well, I have much to say on this topic from many perspectives.  Recently, I received a card in the mail to report to jury duty.  So I went on the day it indicated and sat in a courtroom with about 100 other people.  I happened to know a lot of the people putting the whole thing on, and we had some discussions beforehand about what was happening and what everyone expected.  I went to court expecting the judge to let me go because honestly, my life is too busy for these kinds of things.  But during a conversation, I got a good measure of just how vital the grand jury was.  I had many questions about what happens on that side of the legal profession.  All the judge needed were 15 volunteers; they needed nine jury members, and the rest alternants, in case someone couldn’t attend one day, would be called in as a reserve for the proceedings.  During that process, I was made the foreman, which meant you had to swear everyone in and put your name on all the indictments and other paperwork that would be generated during the process.  Out of those 100 people, there were only 15 volunteers who put their hand up to commit to several weeks of grand jury activity.  The judge had a way of getting 15 jurors out of that group of 100.  But he had just enough volunteers, so he let everyone else go, much to their relief.  Throughout the process, the prosecutor, all the assistants, and everyone in the Butler County Courthouse went out of their way to make everyone feel important.  But a thin veil here took me a few days to sort through.  In that sorting, I learned a lot about our court system, which would allow people like Jack Smith to take advantage of it and make a weapon out of the law for pure political activism.  And to answer the question, yes, you can indict a ham sandwich.

I like Michael Gmoser, the Butler County Prosecutor, and all his assistant prosecutors, and I found things I liked about them all.  I would say that Butler County, Ohio, has a lot of good people working in it, especially in the criminal justice system.  We have an affluent county with many people in it, so we can afford to have jobs for the right people who want to do those jobs.  It’s not like the prosecutor’s office has a bunch of losers like Jack Smith working at it or the other radicals who have presented legal cases against President Trump.  The Butler County prosecutors were all good and engaging as if they wanted to do their jobs and work with a grand jury to put cases in a courtroom before a judge through the indictment process.  But the problem quickly presented itself, and I asked many questions to flush it all out.  The purpose of a grand jury is to provide civilian oversight over the government in the traditions of the American Constitution, which is to preserve the individual rights of people not proven guilty yet by the evidence presented to the court.  It was the grand jury’s job to ensure the government didn’t get out of control.  Now I know that Michael Gmoser believes in that process, politically and practically.  I see many politically active people attached to this law and order process believe the same thing.  But in the trenches of everyday activity, between the prosecutors and the cops working the streets, there is a lot of tired sentiment toward the process that is well deserved.

A grand jury is just a bunch of everyday people who suddenly have to jump into this legal world with people that work every day in that world and know their business.  A prosecutor or assistant can present just about anything they want to a grand jury, and the civilian oversight doesn’t know better than to scrutinize what the evidence tells them about the state’s revised code.  In my particular grand jury, we had all volunteers who wanted to be there, so we had engaged people who asked a lot of questions. When the door was closed for deliberations, we had good debates on the merits of the cases.  To ensure that the process went better, I went out and bought the legal book that the prosecutors were using so that we could flush out the crimes with accurate definitions in context.  And I would say our group was optimal because it had very engaged jurors.  If a judge had to drag people, kicking, and screaming to form a jury pool, as they often do, then the process for the prosecutors would be straightforward: have a jury rubber stamp their recommendations, which was the case in the cases against Trump.  A jury without much experience in law, or even a curiosity to get to know some law in a short grand jury gathering, will be entirely at the mercy of prosecutors who use the process of civilian oversight to impose government overreach against an unsuspecting public filled with lazy people who want to get back to watching television at home. 

So, for much of the summer, I had my criminal law handbook, and I have marked hundreds of laws that I think should be enforced but aren’t because the legal process works against justice by lots of invisible strings that have seeped into our society from a variety of scandalous characters over a vast period.  In Butler County, the prosecutors, as I said, are mostly good.  But in a community with fewer good characters, this process could quickly become a runaway train toward the slippery slopes of corruption. Not enough people know civics, and the prosecutors can manipulate them at will.  Looking through my book on criminal law, I see that if I were a prosecutor, I could prosecute thousands of laws on just about anybody on any given day.  And suppose I had to present evidence to a jury to overcome a defense attorney. In that case, I am sure I could do it successfully on almost anything, including prosecuting a ham sandwich.  The whole process opened my eyes to many more significant problems, but I am very grateful at this stage in my life to have had this experience.  Because it’s one thing to wonder about, it’s quite another to see it for yourself, and in my tenure, I learned a lot of valuable information that moved from the speculation category into fact.  I would say that being on a grand jury is one of the most important things a person could do in their community life.  It’s very much needed.  But it requires even more people to take that job very seriously because many lives depend on it to be done well.  But there are a lot of characters working now in criminal justice who do know how to take advantage of ordinary people on a jury and who don’t know which way is up or down.  And a slick, progressive prosecutor could easily have their way with such people.  In the case of Jack Smith, that makes him even more dangerous in my book, now that I’ve seen the process up close, and with the doors closed for weeks at a time.  I left my experience very proud of the work that was going on in Butler County, Ohio.  However, on a larger scale, these notions of United Nations world courts and Jack Smith’s role in them, openly working against our Constitution to subvert it for some globalist objective, became all too clear.  And for me, perhaps it was just the right thing at the right time to uncover this phantom menace while we still can.
