Yes, Trump Will Debate Kamala Harris: And it will be very embarrassing for Democrats

Of course, Trump is going to debate Kamala Harris.  But I can understand the reluctance.  Everything points to Trump winning the election; everyone knows what he has done and plans to do.  Getting on stage with Trump only helps Harris, who is amateur hour at best in her public persona.  She was a distant last place for the Democrats as to the kind of person they wanted to replace Joe Biden on the ticket.  Suddenly, the media loves her, but essentially, her involvement in anything is a hail Mary for the in-zone, and I don’t think a touchdown with time off the clock even wins them anything.  So Kamala could only gain in a debate, and Trump could only lose by allowing her to be on stage with him and try to look presidential.  And, of course, the worst of it is that Trump doesn’t want to come across in a debate looking like he beats up women.  With all the news from the Olympics, with men competing in female sports, Trump doesn’t want to look like a bully beating Harris categorically in every point of discussion, which is what is going to happen.  Kamala Harris is horrible under pressure and off script, and Democrats who had been hoping to run the entire presidential campaign from the basement, as they did with Joe Biden, are very nervous about letting Kamala be on stage with a Trump who will do anything to win.  He’s come this far; who thinks he won’t close the deal?  No, what’s going to happen when Trump does debate Kamala is that she is going to be utterly destroyed.  And she will never recover from that debate; it will be worse for her than when Trump destroyed Biden in June.  Their phantom campaign will smash into the brick wall of reality spectacularly. 

A lot of people are pointing out that the election, all elections, are rigged and that no matter what, the results of this election are already cast.  The Deep State isn’t going to let us have Trump.  Well, that may be their intention.  But as I say to everyone these days, “they” aren’t in charge.  And Kamala isn’t going to just be selected and put into the White House as they are proposing without major problems, socially.  What is good about Trump is that he is off the grid of the controlled candidates and is in a position to get on a debate stage with the selected Kamala Harris, which is a considerable achievement that shows the corruption in the system for what it was all along.  Kamala is the third time in the last election cycles that they rigged their own elections.  Kamala didn’t have to go through the primary process; Democrats just inserted her as part of the Biden ticket.  And no time is left for anybody else to go through that process.  But like they did to Bernie Sanders, and Amy Klobuchar before, and how they put Biden ahead in the polls after South Carolina during that primary, Democrats are not very democratic.  They don’t trust people to pick for themselves; they like to pick for them in a very authoritarian way, which is really what’s on the ticket now and what these debates are about.  Trump does not fit into their plans and they can’t run a shadow campaign without being destroyed by competition.  The kind of communist world that Democrats want is one where competition is not a factor, and everything is rigged with the cosmetics of choice.  They hope to bleed away enough of the black vote, and other disenfranchised characters to keep Kamala close so the election fraud machine can take over and put her over the top.  So she says she wants to debate.  But believe me, she doesn’t want to debate Trump.

Trump, the counter-puncher, knows what he’s doing.  Trump is the best at brand building out of everyone running campaigns anywhere in the world.  He has been baiting Kamala to step into it and show her stuff before going in for the attack.  Again, she’s a woman.   She might look like a dog’s chew toy but still identifies as a woman.  She may be willing to come off all her challenging topics from the past just to get elected.  But people know who she is; she is grotesquely unlikable, and Trump is going to expose that for all its worth. Trump needed her to run her mouth as she has, to get into the mood of destroying her, which started at the Black Journalists event in Chicago when he said he didn’t think she was black but was rather Indian, as she had claimed in the past.  The point of the exchange was to show how flimsy anything she says about identity politics is.  Conventional wisdom would never think to question her skin color as a progressive means of social disenfranchisement.  Trump knows what we all do; Kamala got where she was in life by being a sex toy.  She didn’t earn it and couldn’t defend it when pressed. When put on stage under the hot lights, he is poised to turn her into a mess in front of everyone.  She will be much easier to beat than Hillary Clinton and certainly easier to beat than Biden.  So, as haughty as the Democrat handlers have been on the Harris roll-out, behind the scenes, they are sweating bullets because their façade of competency is fragile and easy to tear apart.

Not only do they want Kamala to be black to shield her from scrutiny as they try to steal another election with sympathetic voters, illegal immigrants, and criminal conspirators, but they want her to be a woman hoping to shield Harris from scrutiny further and the sheer stupidity of her character who was a distant fourth place during her primary in 2020.  They might promote her as a superstar, but that will all fall apart when she is on stage with Trump. You can see how the machine is trying to preserve itself with the reports that Google is trying to keep the recent Trump assassination attempt away from people’s minds because they want everyone to forget what happened to hurt Trump.  And regarding election fraud, these elections have always been rigged.  The difference now is that more people are engaged because Trump is making it possible to make elections too big to rig, which is ultimately why Trump and only Trump can run for president against this vast machine.  And that machine will be exposed glaringly when Kamala debates Trump on live television, no matter how friendly the audience for that debate is for her.  She won’t be able to hold up to real pressure and will fold like wet cards on the deck of the Titanic.  And it will be healthy for people to witness the destruction because Democrats deserve it for all that they’ve done.  Yes, the elections are rigged, but they can be beaten if people show up and vote as they are poised to do.  And a debate with Trump smashing Harris on a public stage will only drive the point home.  The machine is not in charge; ultimately, people are.  And a debate with Trump will smash that machine and encourage people to take their country back with a vote.  And to that point, there is nothing the Democrats or their bosses in the globalist communist movement can do about it.

Removing the Bible From American Society Should Be Considered a Military Grade Weapon of War: The Foundation of All Law and Order

I would say it’s one of the best things I have done in a while, and that is being a foreman for a grand jury.  I can’t imagine why people wouldn’t want to do it or would like to get out of jury duty because I have found the experience vastly rewarding.  And it has confirmed an aspect of human life I have long thought about.  Fortunately for me, I have traveled the world and seen firsthand how other people do things, and what’s different in the United States that works best for most people is the traditions of the Bible as a Judeo/Christian sentiment and the foundation of all law and order.  And, of course, we all see what’s going on with the separation of church and state arguments; global communists advocate the concept of internal destruction of our country.  Rip away the foundations of American life and the value systems that built it, and the rest of the country topples quickly.  I have had religious discussions with people all my life. I think of God significantly, not as a Zeus-like character from Mt. Olympus or a rival deity from the pantheon of Mesopotamian Gods.  I don’t think of Heaven as a place of pearly gates; I believe there is much more to it and that our grasp of it was miraculously chronicled long ago in a surviving document we call today the Bible.  There has been a lot lost to history, but we have a very functioning way of looking at the world and building a concept of law and order in society that was directly inspired by the Bible.  And it works and is suitable for the human race no matter what background people come from. 

One of the functions of a grand jury foreman is to swear in all participants of the process as witnesses.  So I’ve had to swear large numbers of people in at this point, which has only confirmed a long-held thought that I have had; without a belief in the good of God and without a foundation of the Bible, our entire legal system falls apart.  These days, there is an attempt to function without a sense of God in our society, a secular approach to accommodate the religious and political beliefs of immigrants all over the world, as if the fairness of a belief system might be the key to the human race.  It isn’t.  People need more shared beliefs, and we need to build our civilization around the ideas that work.  There aren’t many surviving documents that have come to us over such a vast period as the Bible and what it communicates about the values and functions of human civilization.  All other controversies surrounding the Bible are purposely advocated in order to erode the fundamental truths that have spawned out of those religious faiths proposed by the Bible and its Old and New Testaments.  After personally hearing many hours of testimony by prosecutors, police officers, and people connected to various cases, it is abundantly clear that none of it functions without some biblical context.  If you don’t swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, so help you God.  Without a relationship with God, none of it means anything.  And the entire thing falls apart; liars run your society for the purposes of godless heathens who will commit any malice they think they can get away with through force.  And if you get to the root cause of most crime in our world, it comes from the destruction of a concept of God in polite society to the detriment of all values.  Human beings just aren’t designed to be atheists.  They need to believe in something and unite together under those shared beliefs. 

Because of my experiences, not only in traveling a lot and seeing how the rest of the world does things but in my love and appreciation for our American Constitution, as a work of profound philosophy built around the concept of preserving individual rights, my grand jury experience was probably more profound than most people would experience in the same position.  However, it allowed me to apply some of this process to the realm of truth and justice, and that was vastly rewarding because it answered many questions I have long had about conducting a functioning society.  It’s one thing to question the validity of God and what role eternity might have on the purposes of the here and now.  It’s another to fall for the trap of abandoning all such religious concepts if they pull people away into a path of their social destruction, and that has been happening in America by progressives purposely acting as domestic enemies of America for their malicious purposes of social destruction, and the loot they could skim off that endeavor for themselves.  The level of crime that is loose in society is alarming, but it has a relatively easy fix, and those are issues that are well told in the Bible over a vast period that has cascaded into our modern hands for proper use.  I thought of that often as I swore in witnesses and considered the evidence presented as a foundation of legal cases to be judged by a jury of their peers as head of all law enforcement.  Not the authority figures of centralized government but the people who loom large over them to keep the temptations of tyranny away from their corrupted minds of malice.  In that vacuum of society, many crimes have sprung loose, and it’s clear that the enemies of our culture have wanted to use such mechanisms to destroy us from the inside out, and that is now how we must view religious incursions—not as a separation of church and state but as criminal conduction and the downfall of social discourse, used as a military-grade weapon of war. 

To strip away the value system of a society is an attempt to undermine it, and many of the crimes we are dealing with presently are a direct cause of this purposeful abandonment of social value.  Without a religious foundation, the American Constitution loses a lot of its power, which is why enemies of America have utilized the separation of church and state concept to such a destructive effect.  Then, of course, all the criminal law cases created by the interpretation of the Constitution provide the foundation of our entire society.  What are the punishments for theft?  For trafficking in drugs?  For murder?  We should all agree that we shouldn’t kill people, that we shouldn’t steal from people.  Or that we build a society that doesn’t destroy their intellect with drugs.  Yet that is the argument for removing the Bible from our society.  Judge not least thee be judged.  And with it, the ability to tell right from wrong.  From the perspective of law and order, it is evident from a top-down view of our legal system that the prosecutors present the cases of social regard for judgment based on the facts of the law.  Weapons of intellect have attacked us to remove our ability to have values so our society would crumble under the weight of human selfishness.  Without the pursuit of God and the biblical context that goes with it, society fails quickly, And that was the intentions of America’s enemies, who are clear to see when viewed from the perspective of courts and the chaos purposely placed there to topple our system of fairness and truth, and justice for all, by sheer audacity perpetrated by the down and out of our society, made that way by liberal policies and anti-Bible sentiment for the detriment of American life.  And in that aftermath are the smoking remains of our country and the cheers of America’s enemies, who have hidden their plots of doom behind the legal premise of separation of church and state and the removal of religious concepts out of a pursuit of equality, and fairness for all, knowing full well that in so doing, they would destroy those very same people at the foundation of their very souls.

Throw All the Palestinian Protestors in Jail: Why Burning the American Flag or Desecrating it in any way is Treasonous and Deserves Severe Punishment

My position on the burning of the American flag at the Capitol during the summer of 2024 by Palestinian protestors is unforgivable, and they should all be thrown in jail.  To my way of thinking about the issue, if a person, American citizen or not, decides to desecrate the flag, then that is a conscious statement of rebellion and un-American activities meant to overthrow the country, and it cannot be allowed to occur.  These kinds of actions are not protected free speech under the First Amendment.  They are treasonous, detrimental, and meant to inspire insurrection.  Any legal argument to the contrary is founded on the progressive interpretation of case law, not on the intent or scope of actual American law.  Legal people have been getting this separation of church and state issue wrong for hundreds of years, and it’s time to address the problem for future clarity.  If you burn or desecrate the American flag in any way, even kneeling at an NFL game when required to stand, you deserve severe punishment up to prison and possibly even all the options under treason.  By desecrating the American flag, the provocateur is stating that they do not support the values for which that flag stands and are abandoning the protections of the American Constitution.  It’s just like the premise of swearing to tell the whole truth, so help you, God, while putting a hand on the Bible.  Without a profession of shared values, you cannot have a civil discourse.  So if the American way of life is criticized through protest where desecration of fundamental values takes place, such as these radical Palestinian protesters involved themselves, they do not get the legal protection of the First Amendment.   And that’s not up for debate in any legal circle.  Here’s why. 

I love the concept of a law and order society, as I have said many times, many, many times—a few of my favorite books are The Federalist Papers and The Anti-Federalist Papers.  I read them all the time, and they are never far from my reading chair, which gets attention many times in a single week, all weeks of the year.  To read them and understand the intellectual argument that is taking place in that debate between big government and small government forces that shaped our Constitution, you have a lot more meaning if you have a good understanding of the Bible.  The Bible is the foundation of the American Constitution and our entire legal system.  The people who founded America were people of Judeo-Christian backgrounds, and their spirit of separation of church and state was to have more ability to worship God more fully without the state getting in the way, such as what happened in Europe during the period of the Revolutionary wars in both America and France.  Established elites of society designed America’s Revolution to free the minds of the masses toward rule-based self-government.  Where the revolution in France was an early version of Marxist tyranny, inciting the masses to overthrow the established government so that tyranny could rule as a centralized authority, which paved the way for Napoleon to become emperor.  What kept those two different revolutions separate was the concept of a God-based society in America as opposed to a mob-driven monstrosity in France of Godless heathens.  All Marxist mobs, which would later be spelled out for global distribution by Karl Marx himself, sought to remove the concept of God from the governing of a country so that radicalism could take over power in the chaos.  It’s the communist playbook, and these Palestinian protestors are wrapped with Marxism at the core of their culture, and it is the root of their protests in every case.

Then, if you are ever so fortunate to study the 2024-1 Ohio Criminal Law Handbook, or whichever state you reside in, their version of it. In that case, you will see a thing of beauty, filled with the intent to have a constructive, free society that promises individual rights for all and protects them from those who might take advantage of those individual rights.  And that is the game of the international Marxists; they seek to erode the American system of law and order by destroying the concept of individual rights, which is a foundation idea articulated through Biblical narrative.  The concept of individual sanctification started with the Bible and has evolved through American law to preserve individual rights.  So when Palestinian protestors are desecrating the American flag, they are attacking the very nature of the preservation of individual rights and are proclaiming dominion over any such concept.  Even so, the basic understanding of most veterans of military service, who care for the flag and do not let it even touch the ground when they are putting it up, is to protect an idea that they learned in basic service as military personnel.  To allow any aspect of a free culture to desecrate those high ideas of individual preservation protected under shared rules and regulations of a mass society is to show intent to destroy such concepts, which can only be considered criminal in relation.  The desecration of the American flag is not some remote, distant country that can be conquered and then re-established with a new government under new guidelines. Instead, the flag represents law dedicated to the individual rights of sovereign people, dedicated to their lives and the God that made them. 

Just this very day, I had the opportunity to participate in a gun competition out in God’s country, which I have always enjoyed.  This one was the Annie Oakley Festival in Darke County, Ohio.  Before starting, we all said our pledge of allegiance to the flag, and all our gun-shooting members were very respectful and paid attention to the little ceremony with dedicated solemnity, and it was very refreshing.  We can’t all live in the same world with the same values if criminal thugs are going to hide their malice and ill intentions toward our sovereign status as individual members of society if we are going to have some who will give anything to the American flag and its high ideas, and those who would burn it on the steps of the Capitol and step upon it like mad virgins at a stag party under a drunken stupor.  Such corrosive societies were discussed very much in the Bible, and we have built American life with those harsh lessons in mind.  The intent of our legal system down to every bit of state revised code intends to free people from authoritarian tyranny by collective masses, and the statement made by the Palestinian protestors on the Capitol in July of 2024 was to desecrate those protections for destruction, now and forever.  It was a direct attempt to undermine American society by hiding terrorism behind a veil of Free Speech protected only by the flag of America.  By purposely destroying the flag, participants reject the concepts of individual protections given under shared consideration of allegiance to that flag.  And the Republic for which it stands.  One nation, under God, indivisible.  With Liberty and Justice for all.  In that context, the problem is obvious: those burning and destroying the American flag are intent on killing all those lofty goals and casting members of that society into the chaos of communist thought as the rest of the world suffers without any recourse by social destruction planned from the outset.  And that can’t be allowed.

Kameltoe Harris is Worse than Old Man Joe: Desperate Democrats and Their Communist Machine of Doom

What do I think of Kameltoe Harris being put at the top of the presidential ticket for the Democrat party? Well, she’s worse than Biden and will be slaughtered through the debate process because she is dumb as a rock.  She’s a slack-jawed, dope-smoking loser who manipulated her way into high office with sexual favors and the exploitation of her skin color, which is Indian, not black.  There is a reason that they kept her in the background all this time.  They only put her with Biden because she was a woman too dumb to understand how they were using her, and now they have to, out of desperation, switch her out with the frail old man because they knew after that debate performance and after that assassination attempt that put Trump in the lead, that they had to do something.  I had been saying that they were going to stick with Biden and hoped some miracle happened, and their hearts were crushed when that bullet didn’t kill Trump, and the government got caught with their hands all over the actions of the lone shooter.  He wasn’t so lonely after all, and when that failed, they went to their very weak bench, and there was Kameltoe, Kamala Harris, cackling like a hyena with blood dripping from her lips after eating the dead carcass of what’s left of the Democrat party.  I would say I have zero respect for her, probably less.  I don’t think she has one redeeming quality, not a single one.  She slept her way into that office, and the only thing she can do for Democrats is give them some dancing clips for TikTok.  But she does represent the Democrat party, and in their desperation, I can see why they turned to her.  They think that’s what America’s future is, which was always behind the Biden crime family.  By the way, they looked like a motley bunch when old man Joe gave his address to the nation, stating that he was not going to continue running for president.  With four months left before the election, they are all scampering for something that will win American hearts, but Kameltoe isn’t it. 

Suddenly for Democrats, Harris is the second coming

I thought Vivek Ramaswamy said it best recently when he said we weren’t running against a person; we were running against a machine in the Democrat party.  And he’s right.  That machine of international collectivism promoting communist China’s views of the world needs to consume the American way of life to establish its objectives of a one-world government run by the United Nations, and they want nothing less than the destruction of the sovereignty of the United States, and complete submission to the authority of global politics which is left of the most radical leftist in America.  Most of the world is consumed with communism or socialism or some kind of leftover Karl Marx sentiment, and America is their destination for looting everything we have like common criminals who would be lured by the siren songs of destruction by the orchestra they are playing through media sentiment and mindless irony.  This was always the danger of a mass movement in communications when the perpetrators thought they had more power than they had.  The ability to manipulate the common public so easily with advertising, to buy the latest soap, car, or sports team.  And that those same traits could be applied to politics.  But what the communist left is learning, all too late, is that politics and economic desires are not the same thing, and they function by different rules.  And their platform of identity politics was always the wrong approach.  The party of freedom that came from the Wigs in America evolved into the Republican Party for a reason, and the Democrats never had an answer to it, and that is what is falling apart to this very day.  About that same time that Republicans became the party of freedom, of the abolitionist movement, the communists who were following Karl Marx were sending their representatives around the world to become progressives and to cast their strategy into the culture of global menace, and it has taken about 150 years for it all to come to fruition on this current collision course. 

It would have happened earlier, but the strategy of mass media manipulation had to play out, and the Democrats just had to run out of gas.  It was going to take a media icon like Trump to exploit the machine of doom that was built to overtake America in a very military type of campaign for destruction.  This Democrat party is a communist machine built to destroy much the way they did in China and Russia, spreading into Central America, Cuba, South America, and all over Europe with dozens of failed socialist experiments.  That machine has been loose in America for a long time, exploiting the nice nature of Republicans who didn’t fight back hard enough when confronted with this diabolical menace.  Until someone like Trump came along and showed the Judeo/Christian soldiers how to fight these evil creatures.  And now, in desperation from their failures, they are turning to Kameltoe, hoping that something will change for them.  But public sentiment sees what is going on and has been for over a century.  However, their past crimes have caught up to them, and they can’t hide from what they have done. 

When we talked about the Republican party emerging from the Whigs when Franklin Pierce defeated General Winfield Scott in a lopsided victory, Charles Sumner told William Seward, “Now is the time for a new organization.  Out of the chaos, the party of freedom must arise.”  And the Republican Party was born.  The only reason Democrats have survived this long was because they hijacked through media manipulation the Civil Rights Movement, which Republicans started to undo the evils the slave-owning Democrats had utilized in American politics through Reconstruction.  And the lies told to advance that story have caught up to them through the presidency of Barack Obama.  People proved they weren’t racist when they put up with eight years of that loser, and they aren’t keen to go through it again.  The machine of global communism can no longer hide its intent behind noise and sentiment.  People want freedom from that machine, as it was identified in the election when Winfield Scott lost.  Democrats have been losing ever since, but the machine disguised those losses through public relations trickery and a conspiracy controlled by international finance that people trusted too much until the process let them down.  Now, there isn’t anything the machine can do to win people over, especially putting another dummy like Cameltoe at the top of the ticket and expecting all the dope-smoking, slack-jawed, lazy losers to rise and defend their gains from an angry American public.  Democrats, as I always say, can’t win if they don’t cheat, and the machine of their party can’t manipulate people into acting against their self-interest.  No, we aren’t obligated to show Kamala Harris even an ounce of respect.  They tried to kill our president and our representative, and they intended to enslave us all to this international communist machine funded by BlackRock and the liberal loser Larry Fink.  And their house of cards is falling under their own actions.  And their last desperate hail Mary is Kameltoe.  And she isn’t up to the task.

Our Government Tried to Kill Trump: Where the evidence takes us and what we know about the types of people involved

So, the evidence points to the real killers who tried to assassinate Trump were government employees who used their power to set the opportunity up, much the way it took us over 60 years to figure out after the Kennedy assassination.  The approach was almost identical, with a first and second shooter, a set-up man to take the fall, and the timeline with intent.  We have enough evidence already with the attempted Trump assassination to see that the action involved far many more people than just a 20-year-old trans kid who rode a bicycle to the killing and magically had a sniper rifle there with the scope all zeroed in considering wind direction and drop from that distance.  A lot of snipers say that a shot from that distance was not difficult, but this is a very young and inexperienced shooter, and if Trump had not turned his head during that speech in Butler, Pennsylvania, it would have hit him perfectly in the side of the head.  It was a pretty good shot as far as shots were concerned.  Even with an excellent scope, Trump’s head would have looked very small from that distance.  People were walking around everywhere, pointing out that he was on the roof.  Security took notice and tried to interact with him.  It’s quite clear that the shooter knew he was never going to come down off that roof alive and that he had to get his shot off quickly.  But quickly, in this case, was an open window of about half an hour.  So who created the time in the schedule with security to allow him to get a shot off, let alone up to 8 before other snipers on other roofs were able to kill him?  They had known where to shoot because they had been looking at him.  Once Trump went down, about 20 seconds went by, and they removed the shooter from consideration, thinking he had performed the kill shot.  That is until Trump stood up and defiantly pumped his fist in the air.  And at that moment, a lot of people got tangled up in this assassination attempt, and they had to cover their tracks quickly.

Nobody wanted to think that the government, whether it’s a combination of FBI, Secret Service, CIA, or anybody else, could or would kill an American president.  One of the reasons there has been so much skepticism over the Kennedy killing was that people couldn’t believe their government would perform such an evil task.  And when we say government, we are talking about government workers who form bonds with others and consider themselves a 4th branch of unelected government.  And they act on behalf of that branch of government.  To understand those people’s personalities, we must remember the statements of the two lovers, Lisa Page and Peter Strzok, as she asked him what the FBI would do about Trump if he were elected in 2016, and Peter assured her that they’d stop him.  And it wasn’t just him; I remember when I was on CNN giving my opinion about the FBI boss, James Comey, which turned out to be completely accurate, even though, at the time, the media wanted to portray him as a Boy Scout.  He was far from that; he was a radicalized killer who lied openly to people who questioned him, and he steered the FBI toward acting on behalf of serving the Democrat party.  Since then, we have seen the FBI directly involved in the Russia scandal, paid for by Democrats, and given legs directly by the FBI to destroy Trump and his four years in the White House ruthlessly.  And, of course, we have seen the open participation in election fraud, which we now know occurred everywhere, especially in the swing states.  Their fingerprints are all over the January 6th event, so there is a lot of reason not to trust them, which they have provided in abundance. 

Nobody thought Trump would survive all the lawsuits and attempts to wipe away Trump financially and morally by this point.  But after he survived those last court cases and the legal position started to turn in favor of Trump, it was evident that the Deep State was going to do anything it had to do to get rid of him.  They had avoided trying to kill him up to that point, but here we were just a few months out, Trump was ahead in polling, and Democrats had no answer.  So we know that this lone shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, had several cell phones, very little social media presence, had contact with people in other countries, and had visited people in Washington, D.C., near the FBI building before the killing.  It is not exactly the typical life of a 20-year-old kid.  At this point, the only thing someone has to overcome to accept the vast amounts of evidence that are coming in on this case, which we have enough already to draw profound conclusions, is whether or not the kid was willing to die for his cause knowingly.  He was.  And he wasn’t alone in the effort.  There are lots of radicalized people who are eager to destroy their own lives, thinking that what they are doing is for some greater good from their perspective. And when the shooter climbed on that roof, lots of people in security and the police community let him do it for an extended period, even with people from the Trump rally screaming about the guy on the roof with the gun for several minutes, more than enough time to stop him.  Ultimately, those efforts were stopped by Trump turning his head ever so slightly, causing the bullet to miss and the assassination to be avoided.

For the context to understand the vast evil of this case, all we have to do is go back to the words of Lisa Page and her FBI lover Peter Strzok, when they believed at the top of the FBI that they had the ability and the right to stop Trump with any force available.  And they acted on it, as revealed in their text messages.  And when the new head of the FBI testified this past week, the end of July 2024, that other FBI agents wished that the bullet had hit Trump, a clear pattern emerges.  So, we have a very destructive taxpayer-funded culture of killers who are perfectly willing to use their government power to take out political rivals to the Democrat party.  And all the proof points to them in setting up a shooter to take the fall for the open assassination attempt on national television of Trump.  Whether it’s the FBI, the CIA, or Homeland Security, we are still putting all that together.  But it certainly was a combination of these employees, joining together as sympathetic rebels against the people’s wishes in a republic to preserve the power they held and a future designed by other people outside of American borders.  Yet the evidence does not point to a lone gunman, but a kid pushed along by powerful forces for the preservation of that power in any way possible.  The kid did not act alone.  If Trump had not taken quick action to save himself and duck out of the line of fire, we would have never known what we had been learning in the weeks after.  These are things that have taken us over 60 years to learn about the Kennedy assassination.  Because Trump was not killed, this time, the killers were caught in the aftermath.  And that reality is one they can’t escape from; it’s embarrassing, ruthless, and genuinely frightening from an institutional perspective.  And now we must act on the knowledge of the event that we possess.  The responsibility for justice falls on our shoulders and history will judge us accordingly.

The Hand of God is On Trump: BlackRock and others behind plots to control all civilization

Regarding the assassination attempt, there is a persistent belief that the heart of the Deep State, such as financial enterprises like BlackRock, will never let Trump near the White House again because there is too much for them to lose.  So, at what point do we have any control over our lives, particularly when the evidence for how that shooter ended up on the roof at the Pennsylvania rally in July of 2024 occurred is unraveled?  There are obvious problems with the level of work that the Secret Service and FBI provided that allowed a 20-year-old sniper shooter to get on a nearby roof overlooking the security parameter of a vast Trump rally, a distance of around 130 yards or so.  From that distance, Trump would have looked pretty small in a sniper scope.  But for a trained sniper, it wasn’t too difficult of a shot; the wind wasn’t too crazy.  It was close enough for a reasonably inexperienced shooter with a scope zeroed out for him previously could have made.  At this point, there is no question that Thomas Matthew Crooks was the shooter, but that he had minimal social media backdrop for a young person with lots of problems, and there were a series of very obvious mistakes that were made by security to allow him around a half an hour to perform the assassination while Trump was speaking to the crowd.  It has even been revealed that there was a second sniper on a nearby water tower, which gives a report that sounds similar to the Kennedy assassination with the second shooter on the grassy knoll.  The evidence all points to one conclusion: that this kid, the assassin, had help from security to set up his shot.  And once he took it, localized snipers killed the assassin, as planned, so there was no further testimony.  Thomas Crooks never planned to come down off that roof alive.  He was willing to sacrifice himself for the cause of killing the president and was a willing participant.  It was a playbook of assassination intent to duplicate the Kennedy assassination, which has declassified elements that show the CIA assisted Lee Harvey Oswald in that killing.  It worked for the assassins then, and now they were using that same playbook in Pennsylvania against Trump because everything else had failed. 

Of course, the Secret Service and Homeland Security lied about their role in creating such a shooter, and the analysis after that shows a keystone cops kind of approach to the whole event, one series of blunders after another, which I think is purposeful.  I’ve explained on several occasions how poor performance in the Administrative State is a communist plot point baked into everything done without performance as the measured criteria.  When promotions are given not based on merit but on DEI hiring practices, performance is a second or third consideration when creating a team approach to anything.  So whenever there are significant events with many trained personnel doing anything, failure is expected as part of the process.  They essentially go through the motions of security to give a perception of safety without ever expecting to truly provide it.  When individual initiative is suppressed, as it was at the Trump rally, there are all kinds of open doors provided that can be exploited to allow a shooter to get that close to a President to increase the opportunity for an assassination attempt to unfold.  The policies of the security team itself create the opportunity.  They may detect overtly apparent problems, but not ones that require a little skill to deal with.  People saw the shooter on the roof, including a nearby sniper team, but action wasn’t taken until after the shots, not before.  And once shots did start, and a bullet had struck Trump, it took more than 20 seconds for those snipers to kill the gunman.  So there are lots of problems that look to be deliberately put in place to allow for the violence to occur by putting stupid people in place to open the door.

Secret Service did put their lives on the line when they rushed the stage and threw their bodies on Trump.  But it was Trump who was fast acting and ducked to the ground once he felt himself get hit the first time.  The Secret Service covered him with their bodies once he was already on the ground.  That took the opportunity for a second hit away.  And once security was on Trump, they announced that there was blood over the radio and that Trump had been hit.  It was after that that the snipers from the nearby roof, who had been asking for a chance to shoot, apparently took their shot and killed the killer.  Other people at that point had been hit as Thomas Matthew Crooks took more frequent shots to spray the crowd in his final moments before the kill shot would be coming for his head.  With just a week of analysis, who has the power to set up such a scenario, and why would such a young kid be willing to throw away his life for such a cause?  Why was the kid out of all kids in a commercial for BlackRock, and why did he have overseas accounts and communication outside the United States, which was found in the wake of the tragedy?  We see a government beyond our government at work here, and they do have the ability to use young people to do their work through many means of psychological manipulation that we know the CIA figured out a long time ago.  And they had taken their shot at President Trump after all else failed.

But what they didn’t know at the bottom of that pile was that Trump had only been nicked by a bullet, not hit directly.  And in those chaotic moments, before a second shooter or a second shot could be unleashed, Trump was protected by the bodies of security.  Blood was dripping from his head, and nobody at that moment could tell how serious it was other than to say over the radio that Trump had been hit.  So the evidence was wiped away, the kid was disposed of as evidence was essentially erased and blamed on the shooter, and an assassination attempt on national television as it had been done with Kennedy became part of history.  But there was a third element at play of a much larger story.  What happened next pulled America together in ways that had never happened before; it was almost as if the point of the day was to undo that previous Kennedy killing and the psychological impact it had on the world.  Trump had survived, stood up, and pumped his fist to the sky in defiance.  The nation saw the blood and the defiance and was ignited for justice.  If some menacing political organization controlled the world’s vast wealth like BlackRock was behind this killing, the opposite would not have happened in their favor.  If the plan was to destroy our hopes and dreams with a kill shot to Trump to finally end the MAGA movement because nothing else had worked, then the opposite happened, and the hand of God was caught helping Trump that day, and all of us from the desperation of suppression.  Instead, we all escaped that assassination attempt with a miracle witnessed.  What made Trump turn his head away at that very moment?  Divine Providence had picked Trump as its vehicle of destruction against the plots and schemes of the bad guys.  And whatever control they thought they had over the world that day was taken away with a miracle that will have ramifications for many decades.  And evil is in a bullseye of its own, by the very hand of God discharged from the MAGA movement of our modern times and set forth to return goodness to the minds of humanity worldwide.  Hope was alive and well despite the plots of menace that came from the Deep State and its vile conspirators of doom.

What Happens on the Day After: If we find out we don’t have a country

So……………that debate was so bad between Trump and Joe Biden that it left people wondering, what happens if we get through the election and Trump does not end up in the White House?  At this point, it’s obvious everyone is going to vote for Trump.  The Democrats should have never tried to put Joe Biden on stage for more than a few minutes.   He was a mess, a diabolical disaster, Joe Biden.  Going into the debate, Trump was ahead in the polling.  Coming out of the debate of June 27th, 2024, there will be no question.  Biden is the candidate of globalism, which means he’s a guy that the globalists think they can control, which is why they stuck with him for a puppet presidency.  And it has blown up in their faces, leaving the question, why did they put him up there?  They had this debate early, two months before their Democrat National Convention, so they could adjust and get another candidate while there was still time.  But honestly, there isn’t time.  Democrats are stuck with Joe, and now there is a lot of head-scratching from the come lately crowd.  It was never clearer how things should go in this upcoming election.  So people want to know what happens on the day after the election; what do they do if Trump isn’t elected back into the White House, even after the choice was as clear as this and people picked him overwhelmingly more than Joe Biden?  I would argue that this was indeed the case the first time around in 2020.  Biden did not get 81 million votes.  He was put in office, not elected by the people.  When it comes to globalism, it is not an unusual concept.  Joe Biden is good for globalism because they do not want a strong American leader.  And they think they are in charge of the world, especially the results of elections. 

Well, it’s not time yet to grab the guns and charge down the globalists who are behind this mess.  Don’t panic.  These are horrendously bad people who are power-hungry to extremely detrimental levels. For example, Jill Biden displayed after the debate to a wondering, aloof Joe Biden looking around aimlessly with a weird smile, a panic that startled a lot of people.  I would say this is what losing power looks like, and Democrats are losing it.  They wouldn’t have put him out there a long time ago if they had a better option.  But they didn’t because this is how they thought they could get away with all the globalist agenda criteria.  Most of the world has rigged elections.  The United States is unique in that we have stable law and order that isn’t easily toppled, but the Democrats have been caught trying to, and now ordinary, regular, everyday people see what’s going on, and they are going to vote for their own best interest.  But for the first time, the globalist, Deep State types won’t be able to trick people into providing them a cover of legitimacy behind policy disputes, as they have been doing for decades.  The communist left has a big problem, and yes, they will turn to violence to take power and hold power.  They have been rigging elections all over the world, and in the United States, they have been caught, and we are going to have to do something about it.  I would recommend working this out in Congress through legal means.  But if we find out that we don’t have a functioning government, which is what we are talking about, what will we do? 

I would say that this is precisely why we have the Second Amendment.  The only thing that has prevented an all-out war with firearms against communist insurgents is that they have been functioning from the perspective that they could always trick just enough people into following their radical agenda.   And who they couldn’t convince, they acquired through election fraud against an unsuspecting, well-meaning public.  But that’s gone now; there is no way to recover from that previous position.  The world, especially in America, will never return to what the Democrats had previously enjoyed.  They have lost the trust of the people.  Trump is a much more attractive candidate after that debate than before, and the process of trying to destroy Trump with all the weapons of an Administrative State has only revealed the game to the public that has always been going on.  So when the election is held, and if people don’t get Trump, when the pick will be so clear, then what?  Do we say, “Ah shucks, we gave it a nice try, now let’s return to our everyday lives?”  No, that won’t be the thing to do.  We’re going to have to take back our government from the control of these globalist insurgents by force.  It’s a promise we all make to pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America.  And we can’t give control of our government over to these globalist managers.  What they have done is nothing short of an attack on our country and all our lives, as hostile as any military attack in history.  And they have to pay for what they did.  They all have it coming, in as much of a menacing way as possible.  They did it to themselves. 

But what does that mean?  I would put it this way: this is precisely why we had to do what we had to do.  Keep your powder dry and expose all this in the way we have.  It’s much more exciting to go into these kinds of things with guns blazing and a clear winner of good guys and bad guys that can be written about in the context of history.  But we have to play by the rules if we want to win by the rules, and honestly, what we see is never supposed to happen.  By now, the globalists were hoping that there would be a civil war of violence in America so they could tip-toe into the background and hide in the mountains of Davos behind the mask of chaos.  Instead, they have to hide behind this fool Biden and be exposed for their tampering the way they were in this debate.  And if Trump had played anything differently, we wouldn’t know much of what we do know now.  The communist left is in trouble everywhere that globalism has stuck itself into.  They have also been exposed in America through the Biden presidency.  If there was doubt during Obama’s administration, or even the Bush administration, those doubts are now gone.  And the election is clear about how it should go.  And if we find out that we don’t control our elections, and they make a pick for us that we don’t want, we will have to get nasty about it, which we can afford to do because we have played by the rules entirely up to this point.  But the fact does not mean we surrender our country to globalist insurgents.  We have a right and obligation to control our country, and we will do so.  And if it turns to violence, it will be the fault of the communist left.  And I am personally ready for that.  But not before we exert every notion of the rule of law through the election process.  If they take that away from us, as they did in 2020, we must take it back with more than a patty cake sentiment.  But that will be on the day after and not before.

Joe Biden Was A Disaster: If you want to destroy your enemies, make them compete with you

Whatever anybody thought about putting Joe Biden on stage for a June debate, there would never be a good outcome.  With the White House disputing even facts everyone could see and calling them Deep Fakes or “Cheap Fakes,” having that beat-up old compromised man on stage for 90 minutes against one of the best communicators in modern history wasn’t very smart.  It was even arrogant because the belief was that the people who did put him on stage thought they had such control over all things in the Administrative State that they might get away with it.  No, it was a bloodbath, even more so than anybody had hoped.  Even Democrats had to agree, even if their enthusiasm for that disaster was the hope that Gavin Newsom or Gretchen Whitmer might take over at the last minute.  The truth of the matter is that Joe Biden is the best that the Democrats had to put up, and he fits the needs that globalists have for domination over both American political parties, which they have sought to control.  Biden was a puppet president who was inserted.  And whatever they thought about doing the debate, and doing it in June as opposed to the fall season closer to the election so they could make adjustments before the August convention, nothing can salvage that performance.  It was probably the worst debate performance in the history of debates, not because I wanted it to be, but because it was what it was.  Joe Biden looked horrendous.  There were no Deep Fakes or Cheap Fakes in the editing.  He looked terrible, and everyone at the end of the debate knew it.  At least, Biden did one good thing: he brought the country together to agree that he lost that debate and was horrible for the Democrat Party.  And that the Democrats were now stuck with him. 

What was more critical was Jill Biden’s little speech at the end, where she looked even worse.  The screen captures of her crazy face, forever reminding everyone what has been happening.  Jill Biden is a product of the system, a person of social titles, and exactly what America wanted to get away from regarding European aristocracy.  How will she keep her family out of jail if she loses power?  She clasped onto Joe Biden, looking like he was a kid in the Willy Wonka factory, much as she did the trial of Hunter Biden on the gun charge, flying in from France to show her support in the courtroom.  But the minute she wasn’t somebody in public office, she was a nobody with no talent, and that was scary to her.  It showed up in her speech when she realized that Biden had all but lost the election after that debate performance.  Her dreams of keeping her family out of jail for their years of crimes depended on staying in public office.  That was the only way out for them.  While her husband, Joe, might not live very long, the Hunter Biden stories and the Ashley Biden diary revelations will continue to destroy her family for years to come, and she will end up a disgraced wreck.  Her husband might have avoided that embarrassment through death, which looked to be at their door with his performance, but she had more life to live. Without the presidency or a prominent place in the Democrat Party, she would drift into obscurity quickly.  And she realized it with the cameras rolling. 

This is kind of a thing for me; all I can say is that these are the benefits of competition.  Everyone who kept their powder dry could pat themselves on the back.  If you don’t play by the law, you can’t use the law.  And many of these crazy lunatics from the communist left would have hoped by now that the whole country would have been a January 6th.  The Masons had experience with this when they provoked the French Revolution, which got out of hand.  The only way out for many of these Democrats, after what they had done in the decades leading up to this debate, was to create massive unrest.  They wanted more violence than what they ended up with on January 6th.  And I still can’t blame people for getting angry on that day.  It could have been worse.  We witnessed a government stealing our election to stay in power.  And those in power are lucky that all they received was the little protest of January 6th.  It could have been far, far worse.  But I think the best way to beat your opponents is to make them compete and not let them hide behind some administrative veil.  Make them stand on stage and perform.  And because Trump and the rest of us did not riot or give up on the Constitution, the Democrats had to have that debate and show what a fool Biden was to the world.  The pressure of the expectation to perform legally forced them to do what they were not prepared to do.  As I say all the time if elections are protected from cheating, Democrats cannot win an honest election.  And if forced to perform in a competitive endeavor, they can’t, not at any level, win. 

And that is the lesson: if you want to defeat globalism, don’t fall for all their shiny toys.  Don’t let them mesmerize you with illusion.  Make them perform, and watch them fall apart.  You won’t have to fire a shot.  They will destroy themselves, just as Joe Biden did on that debate stage where everything was in his favor, including that CNN was the host.  Trump walked into enemy territory where everything was against him, and he dominated, which was the point.  Everyone was so worried that Trump was going to fall into a trap.  He’s a good executive; if you are good at anything, you should be able to walk into hostile territory and do well.  Trump needed to show the world what losers all these people were.  And just by showing up, it forced Democrats to put their best person on stage, and yes, Joe Biden is their best person.  That’s how bad they are.  Without all the illusion of The Wizard of Oz, with the smoke and fire, there is a weak little man behind the curtain who is powerless.  And they put him there to pull the levers because he was harmless and would let lesser people rule the world.  That is until people realize what an illusion it always was.  And anybody who wanted to believe in that illusion had that ripped away from them with this debate, which will likely be the last one.  Joe Biden could never afford such an exhibition of incompetence ever again.  And nobody is ever going to give him a chance.  If you want to win at life, make your enemies perform before you go crazy, grab guns, and turn to lawlessness.  The way we handled some of the most significant crimes in human history has been good.  It might not have been fun.  But it has been effective, and the proof was in this devastating debate performance.  We are just getting started on the dismantling of the administrative state.  This was just one little brick. 

Defeat communism in your community, in your country, and throughout the world

The New Mob is No Different than the Old Mob: The bigger the government, the more mobsters there are to exploit it

Organized crime never went away; it just moved into the globalist movement. The old mobsters like Moe Dalitz from Cleveland and Screw Andrews from Cincinnati are now Larry Fink, Bill Gates, and Mark Zuckerburg. When people get a lot of money and use it to buy our government, it’s all the same game of corruption.  What we have witnessed with the advent of technology is that the lazy, the corrupt, the malicious, and outright evil people of the world still rally together to use mass to exploit easy living for themselves through crime and jeopardy.  Just as during western expansion, Jesse James and the gang would gather with force to rob a bank or hold up a train and steal the wealth from the inhabitants.  Mobsters always sought ways to profit off sin to exploit an endeavor, and what we see happening now globally is no different.  Technology and travel allowed them to do so on larger scales, along with centralized banking.  In other words, the bigger the government and the more organized it is, the more tempting the target is to exploit to acquire wealth as quickly as possible.  So, of course, governments would be targets for mobster activities.  Why would you hold up victims on a train when you can use the power of the government to do it for you?  All you have to do is control the government, and that is the easy part because there are always whores of some kind looking for an easy buck.  Living in Cincinnati, I have had a front-row seat to some of this mobster behavior.  Some of the biggest mobsters of their time spent a lot of time in Cincinnati and Newport, Kentucky, because it was such a centralized hub within the country.  Like anywhere where there is a lot of money; of course, organized crime elements would grow to exploit it as much as possible, which they did. 

I think it was very fortunate that I grew up the way I did.  I have always had a bold personality, and there was never a part of my life where I faced some ramifications for having it.  Instead, I have lived a vibrant life full of massive experiences.  And when danger and dollars were put before me to see if I dared take them, I was always yearning for the opportunities that came with both.  Not so good for the crime, and of course, that caused rifts that led to violence.  Which I was always perfectly fine with.  I enjoyed it.  If I could be said to have an addiction of some kind, it would be danger and it took me many years to find good ways to satisfy that part of my nature.  It’s a topic that came up in a conversation I had where someone asked me how many times I have had a gun pulled on me because they expected the answer to be zero.  Instead, I had to think about it and realized I couldn’t count them all.  It’s not like it was every day, but it was so often that I couldn’t think of them all, even after several days.  Whenever I came up with a number over twenty, I thought of new times.  And for me, it was never a regrettable experience but an excellent opportunity that made my life better as a result.  So, I don’t look back on those experiences with apprehension, but conquerable moments that made me better.  I learned firsthand that mobsters were not as brutal or scary as portrayed in the movies. Instead, at their core, they relied on group affiliation to fill in insecurities in their public lives that led to easy money because they were essentially lazy.  Their only power was fear and the ability to manipulate other people with even less courage than they had.  People sell themselves to the “take” way too easily, and often.   

Naturally, as our world grew smaller with technology and transportation, those types of people sought to exploit more people easily with a centralized government.  The old mob guys, and I met several of them in Cincinnati, mainly when I worked as a busboy at the Mike Fink restaurant on the Ohio River, was no different from the billionaires and manipulators of the world today, such as Larry Fink, Bill Gates, and Klause Schwab.  People who met Moe Dalitz from the Cleveland Four would think of him as a very charitable person involved in many front groups that everyone would recognize.  He was a trendy guy who would essentially become Mr. Las Vegas.  But he was still a thug, just as Larry Fink of BlackRock is today.  They run front organizations that give them the appearance of legitimacy.  But they made their money off the crimes of their mobster behavior, organized crime.  The activity of washing money through Ukraine by starting wars and profiting off the misery would classify as a classic mobster endeavor.  The only reason they used to be regional is that the technology and transportation at the time kept them from getting too far from a central location.  Back in the period known as the golden age of mob behavior, from the 1920s through the 1960s, planes were more challenging to get around the earth as fast as they can today, and cars were big and slow.  There weren’t highways like we have these days where you can be in another state within five hours of traveling all day, seven days a week.  Now, mobster types can hide in the mountains of Davos with all the other international gangs, such as the Khazarian Mafia, the Knights of Malta, The Jesuits, and the World Economic Forum.  Because of technology, those people have found each other easier and aligned for their crimes against humanity, which is in their nature to do.  I only mentioned my experience because I know better and understand the thinking that attracts those people to do what they do.  And why they point guns at people, hoping to use force to gain compliance. 

I also learned that the only thing those people understand is force.  They don’t respect sympathy or pleading.  They only understand force.  I’m still around to tell some of these stories because of force.  The secret to understanding this realization is that they join mobs for the same reason people join labor unions: they hope to collectively bargain for an easier life that pays them the most.  They want as much money as possible by doing as little as they can get by earning it.  And joining a mob, whether the racket is hustling girls, gambling, or bootlegging, or whether it’s drug trafficking, stealing tax money through front group organizations that get sizable grants from the government, and the kickbacks flow into the pockets of those granting the money.  Wherever there is a lot of money and access, there will be some organized crime element to exploit it and the people in the way of getting it. And there is no appeal to their “better” natures.  They will do anything to acquire easy money.  And demonizing cash doesn’t stop the behavior.  Only force manages such thugs.  There is no way to use bigger government to protect yourself from their attempts at organized crime, which Big Pharma is only a modern version of the kind of businesses that Moe Dalitz used to run.  The bigger and more powerful government only makes it easier for more mob types to exploit innocent people for their desires to gain power and money as quickly as possible, which is at the core of everything BlackRock does in the world from a money management standpoint.  And they are no different than what the old mobsters of memory did every day.  The only difference is that technology allows them to do it on a bigger scale, and our understanding of those scales is just catching up to reality.

All Unionized Labor Should Be Illegal if Tax Money is Involved: They want to be highly paid without the results to justify it

There is, of course, more to the story.  I certainly heard the exasperation in the Louder with Crowder team as they investigated the horrendous story of the massive mishandling of a Butler Tech intern at the Butler County jail, which led to sex and the corruption of a minor in really disastrous ways.  As the story unfolded and all the adults involved pointed at each other for the blame, I saw on people’s faces and could hear in their words that they were exasperated by the lack of responsibility provided by the adults.  And here’s the thing: just a few days before this story broke, I had a chance to talk to Sheriff Jones quite a bit, and I am sure he and I agree on much more than we disagree with.  If we watched a bunch of old westerns on a Saturday afternoon, we would likely like the same things about them and share a sense of justice that would be enjoyable.  As people, as it is with most people, we agree on most things.  If we had a Thanksgiving dinner together, along with a bunch of other random people, I know there would be a lot more in common than not.  Differences occur when individual people try to bend themselves toward group-oriented consensus, where they toss their values out the window in trade for the power of group rule.  And that is what is going on with this Butler County case and why all the adults are complicit.  And why is the little girl being prosecuted while all the adults slither into the background to hide behind their labor unions and collective bargaining agreements?  This is why they are in labor unions so that the power of the group can leverage responsibility away from them in case something goes wrong, which it certainly did in this case. 

Probably the most guilty person in all this is the Butler Tech teacher, Aaron Fitzgerald, who ran the criminal justice program and was responsible for putting that 17-year-old girl unsupervised into a jail with a bunch of criminals and murderers, so often that she established sexual relationships with them.  Even more, some of the inmates were claiming her as a wife and were trying to “lock her down,” so we aren’t talking about a casual mistake that happened once or twice.  It happened repeatedly, systemically, and it was how Aaron Fitzgerald ran his program and the dangers he put the kids in with his permissive attitude. I would further blame the board at Butler Tech for their permissive, progressive attitudes about sex and their behavior in public, such as Julie Shaffer from the Lakota school board has shown to all the adults in charge, and the breadcrumbs of the blame certainly fall at their doorstep.  The Louder with Crowder crew went to Aaron’s house to talk to him about this case, and he freaked out.  But what was revealed was that he had a nice home in a very nice neighborhood.  That in itself isn’t uncommon in Butler County, Ohio.  But his sense of entitlement is something we had just witnessed on the whole Lakota schools superintendent issue, where reckless sexual lifestyles destroyed that guy once the public learned just how bad they were.  These are unionized employees with a sense of entitlement that is common in most labor union activity, where they want to be paid top dollar for some of the worst results that come from any labor activity.  They want all the money without any responsibility.  And when they get into trouble, as they certainly have in Butler County, Ohio, they circle the wagons and blame everyone who isn’t in the union.  In this case, the only person without a labor union relationship is the little girl. 

Over the years, I have argued this point extensively, and the impact of the disaster hasn’t changed.  I think it should be illegal for any labor union to be connected in any way to a taxpayer dollar.  We went down that path in 2012 when we thought we had a good governor in Kasich before everyone got a hold of him and destroyed him into just another progressive.  Sheriff Jones and I were on opposite ends of that issue, and they managed to hang on to their government unions for a while longer.  These days, President Trump has the labor union vote, so everyone is in a big Republican tent these days on the issue.  But it doesn’t change what labor unions are.  And what you get with them is too expensive, and the performance is terrible.  In this Butler Tech case, the measure of success is whether they have kids to put in the program.  Not what they learn or what happens to them along the way.  Unionized labor attached to government has been a disaster, and what you get from them is a horrendous performance with a perpetual sense of entitlement, like they are owed their jobs.  And they don’t feel they have to compete with anybody else to have them.  Then, when something goes wrong, they collectively circle the wagons and protect each other from the results.  Their goals are not in performance but in concealment and protection from expectations in results. 

Sheriff Jones, the same guy who talks to me about law and order and not putting up with terrorists coming into our community, took the union position on this Butler County jail case, saying that their prosecution of the girl was based on her admission.  And that all the kids sign a waiver (I don’t think sodomizing kids was on the sheet) and that she was almost 18, so that’s close enough.  She could be hired into the jail in a few months anyway.   And he said these things to reporters, thinking they were perfectly acceptable statements in a sane world.  And I know he doesn’t believe any of those things, yet he was saying them, as all brotherhood members do when one of them gets into trouble.  That’s why those kinds of people seek union membership.  And labor unions aren’t just a disaster in government occupations.  In the private sector, if you call up a supplier looking for your thing, and the person you are talking to can see it on a shipping dock through a window, waiting for someone to put it on a skid to be loaded onto a truck.  But they can’t load it themselves because they need a union guy to do it, so they have to wait for him to come off his 4-hour break, watching Loony Toons on his cell phone to load the truck.  That is how it is with all unionized labor and why they aren’t competitive in the world marketplace.  They cost too much, do too little, and when you need to know who’s responsible, they never admit to anything.  When they get into trouble, they rally behind their brother and sisterhoods to protect each other from judgment.  And that is why everyone involved gets away with horrendous behavior.  The only people who pay are those who are not in the union.  The union members, or those who directly benefit from the unionized labor, get away with everything because it’s part of their collective bargaining strategy.  If you try to pin them down on something then they take the labor away completely, making enforcement of policy nearly impossible.  So everyone just avoids punishment and discipline from bad decisions.  And it’s so disgraceful that it takes logic and good people and turns them into grotesque monsters who perpetuate evil to get easy and unearned paychecks, as is the case with Aaron Fitzgerald and many others.
