Trump’s Shangri-La Cincinnati Office: How to find it and what you can do to help

 

So, you’ve seen the last debate before the massive votes across the United States—specifically Florida and Ohio—and you want to know what you can do to help Trump have a big night.  Maybe you want to help walk neighborhoods in Ohio to keep Kasich—who has been an epic failure to those who know him best within the state—from winning on Tuesday, March 15.th   Maybe you want to do one little thing to rob him of that diminutive joy of at least winning Ohio during a primary process that has turned out to be a massive failure for him.  Kasich started running for president in 2013 and spent much of his second term positioning himself essentially as a Democrat to expand his influence to the northern part of the state just to run for president in 2016.   In the process he let down the people who helped elect him and that deserves some rectification.  Trump is the best chance we have of setting many things right, especially robbing Kasich of the Tuesday night prize.  Perhaps you want to make calls on behalf of Trump, or maybe you just want a yard sign.  Well, here is the information you need to make all those things happen over the next couple of days.

I went looking for yard signs for Trump and whatever else I could do to help and found that the Cincinnati office was nestled in a neat little business park behind Chuckee Cheese right off Kemper Road near Tri-County.  It was the second building south of the complex and on the second floor.  I noticed immediately in the windows facing north the Trump signs advertising the Shangri-La of American politics—the epicenter of the most exciting political movement in over an American century—perhaps longer.  Literally stepping into the building after parking on the west side of the building was a magnificent water garden with office complexes facing inward toward the lush atmosphere—a little bridge extended over a babbling brook filled with fish paved the way toward a Trumpian paradise beyond.  It was quite a majestic feel complete with all the elements of heaven.  I followed the path to its conclusion and found an elevator which took everyone upstairs to level 2.  Once there a short trip down the hall, a left turn for about 10 feet and the Trump campaign office was on the next door on the right.   Here is the information I used to find the office.

Subject: TRUMP CINCINNATI OFFICE OPEN

Greetings. The Cincinnati Trump Office is now open and we have only 6 DAYS!!! I personally, Robert Scott, the State Director of Ohio, will be manning the office until Election Day on March 15!

Here is what we need ASAP.

(1) Volunteers in the headquarters. We will be open from 9 AM to 9 p.m. starting tomorrow. If you would like to bring anything to hang on the walls and decorate the headquarters. We have snacks and other goodies!

(2) Volunteers to make phone calls from the headquarters. Please bring your Cell Phone and Computer/Tablet with you.

(3) Volunteers to walk their neighborhood for Mr. Trump immediately until Tuesday!

The office is located at:

1329 E. Kemper Rd., Suite 4212 (Second floor) Cincinnati, OH 45246

I found Robert Scott there who was busy setting up the Saturday Trump rally in Dayton where Trump will glide up to a Wright Patterson hangar to give one of his airport speeches by stepping straight out of his private 757 and up to a podium to address fans.  Then a quick jump up to an arena in Cleveland to a packed house there.  Robert was busy also arranging a Sunday rally.   We spoke about the Duke Energy Center down in Cincinnati and we talked about Lakota Schools.  Lakota wouldn’t return the phone calls, and The Duke Energy Center emerged as a possible venue for Sunday just ahead of the election.  He and I spoke strategy and he loaded me up with campaign items and I left feeling that the Trump people were very well-organized and committed.  But they do need the usual help, so the days ahead of Tuesday will be a fight that will require as many people as possible that should be in on it.

I was reminded of the Perot Campaign office in 1992 which was on Montgomery Road years ago, next to Camargo Cadillac.  It was a very vibrant atmosphere that had the feeling of a revolution about it.  Another location that I remember well was the Greenup Street location right next to the Suspension Bridge in Covington, Kentucky.  Even all these years later I remember the camaraderie of going to war with those people in that time under those tenuous conditions.  It felt important and it was–it actually paved the way for where we are today.  I have been around other campaigns and there is a commonality to them—but nothing was quit like those experiences on Montgomery Road in the fall of 1992.  With that said, the energy I felt at the Trump headquarters in Cincinnati was surging beyond that Perot experience—because there was a feeling in the air that finally one of these elections would actually make a difference.  Most of the time, the kind of people who show up to volunteer for these kinds of things are full of love and passion—but the candidate is mostly all air.  Ross Perot certainly wasn’t—but he was nothing like Donald Trump.  Leaving that place and walking back through the indoor water garden back to my car was like the Trump candidacy itself.  A lush landscape of unexpected possibility surrounded by multiple businesses thriving with energy always looking toward opportunity—it was probably the most bizarre, yet all-encompassing place for Trump to have a southern Ohio headquarters.  What a great place to be a part of an emerging movement that carried on its back the hopes and dreams of a nation.

There are only a few days to make a difference.  So get down there, pick up some signs and spread them around town. Get them in front of voting places around Cincinnati on Tuesday.  Better yet, volunteer to go door to door.  Kasich and Cruz will certainly have their people out and Trump needs to have that ground game in place to advance the cause.  Even better than that, go down to the headquarters, order up some carry-out and make some calls under Scott’s direction.  You will never forget the experience.  It’s an opportunity to be a part of history and the memory of it will last a lifetime—regardless of the outcome.  Fortunately for this particular ground shaking movement—the stars are aligning in the favor of reform—for really the first time in American history without an armed revolt to go along with it.  And that is big news.

In Ohio Democrats are Switching to Republican to Vote Trump: Defining real conservativism during an important primary

This is a pretty important story.  Republicans have a severe “branding” problem.  People like me who are very conservative find people like George Will, Karl Rove, Mitt Romney, John Kasich, Marco Rubio, John Boehner and even locally, Patti Alderson, Don Dixon, Cindy Carpenter and many others terribly flat and unable to win contested issues against Democrats.  They are what make up the Republican “establishment,” these days and it is their fault that the Republican “brand” has declined, and even failed in most cases.   As I’ve discussed before conservatives won’t get everything we need in just one election.  There has to be a multiyear plan enacted to repair the massive damage done to the party by Republicans moving left of center to attract new voters.  And just for the record, Ronald Reagan was not conservative enough for me.  He is not the benchmark of conservativism as far as I’m concerned.  When Marco Rubio or Ted Cruz say they want to be the new party of Reagan, I cringe.  Reagan actually toyed with joining the Communist Party and was a union leader for a time.  Only late in life did he learn to speak like a conservative and very late—become one.  I liked him-but when it comes to conservatives I am often very let down—because few people are as conservative as I am.

However, in this election I am emphatically supporting Donald Trump.  He by far has the most conservative views on the stage currently, and he has a track record of accomplishing things.   The fact that many people are making it fashionable to point out things that he has not done so well is laughable.   I’d ask to see their track record—which they have nothing to compare to.  Trump’s airplane is worth more than most of the critics of him put together.  As Trump stated recently, just one of his stores in New York is worth more than Mitt Romney.  I’d rather deal with a person who has a thousand failures and two or three blistering successes than a loser who sits on the sidelines and is afraid to do anything because they are the overly timid types.  That describes most of the people I know in the Republican Party.  Trump brings a lot to the Republican Party—particularly when it comes to “branding.”  He also is attracting fence-sitting Democrats—which is exactly what the Republicans need if they really want to “expand” the party.  When people say that Trump is not a conservative then where is the anger at actual Democrats like Butler County Commissioner Don Dixon who switched parties to win in a conservative Ohio county—and the many thousands across the nation just like him.  Trump is much more conservative than Don Dixon, or the Ohio Central Committee representative Patti Alderson who makes the fundraising efforts of Claire Underwood from the Netflix series House of Cards look like an amateur.  (Ann Becker is running against Patti—VOTE FOR ANN on March 15th.)  Don’t tell me establishment Republicans are more “Republican” than Donald Trump.  Trump is calling himself a Republican in a very liberal part of the country, and that takes guts.  And don’t tell me he’s doing damage to the “party.”  Read this article out of Youngstown, Ohio.  This is where Trump is a lethal weapon for the GOP—if they were smart enough to use it—which they aren’t.

About 1,000 Democrats in Mahoning County so far have switched their party affiliation to Republican with election officials saying several did it to vote for Donald Trump, the GOP presidential front-runner.

“We are seeing something this election cycle I’ve never seen before to this degree,” said board Chairman Mark Munroe, who’s also the county Republican chairman. “Every day I take phone calls or get voice messages from people saying they’ve been Democrats all their life and they’ve had it. They want to vote for Donald Trump. I’m surprised at the volume of inquiries we’re getting. It’s remarkable.”

A number of Democrats taking a Republican ballot when voting early at the board “say they want to vote for Trump,” said Joyce Kale-Pesta, Mahoning County Board of Elections director.

About 7,000 Mahoning County voters have cast early votes. Early voting started Feb. 17 and ends March 14, the day before the primary.

Of those 7,000, about 14 percent were Democrats who voted Republican, Kale-Pesta said. That’s about 1,000 so far.

The percentage of Democrats switching parties will grow even more, said board Vice Chairman David Betras, who also is the county Democratic chairman.

And it doesn’t concern Betras.

“I knew Donald Trump’s message would resonate with blue-collar Democrats,” he said. “But once they learn about his record – besides him being anti-trade – they will change their minds in the general election. I assure you that come the general election, voters will vote our way once we tell the story of Donald Trump. The more chaos created in the Republican primary, the better Democrats will do in the general election.”

Betras, who backs Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton, said it “would make me happy for Donald Trump to beat John Kasich,” the Ohio governor running for president as a Republican.

About 5 percent of Republicans – 350 voters – cast Democrat ballots of those who’ve voted so far, said Chris Rakocy, the board’s information technology manager.

Munroe, who supports Kasich, said that if the governor isn’t the Republican presidential nominee, “I’ll be glad to support whoever is our nominee.”

When asked about Trump’s various controversial statements, Munroe said, “Should Trump be the nominee, he’ll have plenty of time to rehabilitate himself.”

Trump is the reason turnout will be higher than normal for this primary, Munroe said.

“We’re seeing this all over the country; the Republican vote is way up and it’s because of Trump,” he said. “Now, it’s happening in the Valley. Whatever you think of Trump, you can’t take away his ability to energize the electorate.”

There are 161,009 registered voters in the county, including 40,958 Democrats and 14,663 Republicans. The rest are independents, who don’t vote in primaries, with a tiny number affiliated with third parties such as Green and Libertarian.

In Ohio, party affiliation is basely solely on voting in a primary, Munroe said.

“All you have to do is tell a poll worker that you want to vote for a certain party in the primary and that becomes your affiliation,” he said.

Election officials in Trumbull and Columbiana counties say they aren’t keeping track of how many voters are changing party affiliations.

“But we’ve had some people say, ‘I want to switch to the Trump party,” said Stephanie Penrose, Trumbull County’s elections board director.

“There are a lot of Democrats switching over,” said Kim Meeks, Columbiana County’s elections board deputy director. “We see a trend, but we won’t know details until after the primary.”

Let that simmer for a bit and think of what that could do for the GOP.  Think about California come November 2016, or New York.  Tell me there is another Republican in the party today who could win in these places.  The answer of course is that there isn’t.  Ted Cruz won’t.  And nobody else will either.

Standing up for Housewives: Melania Trump’s conservative crusade captured by Greta Van Susteren

As excited as it may be for me to get a private sector president in the White House with Donald Trump, I’m probably equally enthusiastic to see his wife in the role of First Lady.  For so many years the First Ladies of the White House have been social apologists for an increasingly altruistic culture underlining an emphasis on sacrifice for the “greater good.”  If you know anything about the philosophy and the writing of Karl Marx—American First Ladies seemed to have represented the claws of communism rather than the American flag draped beauties of American culture.  I include Laura Bush in that discussion because part of her appeal was that she had been a librarian and that was used as a means to push agendas like “No Child Left Behind” in public education—which wasn’t very far from what the Bolsheviks supported in Russia during the 1920s.  (Read We The Living.)  What I find most appealing about Melania Trump representing America as a First Lady isn’t her supermodel Sports Illustrated swim suit edition good looks, or her soothing accent—but rather her firm dedication to being a housewife.  Listen to Melania Trump talk about her commitment to her son Barron with Greta Van Susteren—which was a very good and revealing interview.

Melania is more than just a pretty face.  Many would say that she’s a trophy wife and that it’s easy for her to say the type of things she is with the comfort of billions of dollars in assets always garnishing her.  They might say that it’s easy for her to speak from such an elevated position atop her Trump Tower apartment laced with pure gold—about the merits of raising a child.  But there is quite a lot that is important in what Melania is saying and it’s not easy for her.  For instance, with the wealth that she and her husband have, they could afford to have a nanny raising their child.  They could have an army of nannies and essentially be the family from any popular play or motion picture classic—like The Sound of Music or Mary Poppins.  But with all their wealth and her personal time at stake, Melania has fully dedicated herself to raising their son Barron as a very happy housewife—which is a very “conservative” thing to do and a hard position to take in this modern media culture.

I think housewives have the most important job in the world—I believe that with every fiber of my being.  Housewives are more important than any CEO position and have more value than even President of the United States.  I was probably too aware at a young age largely because my mom was a stay-at-home mom and she put a lot of work into raising her kids.  She certainly didn’t take it loosely.  I can remember most everything from age three and four largely because I had a mother who didn’t handicap me with dumping me in a day care and letting the collective masses raise me while she worked at a career.  In the late 60s and 70s staying at home with children as a woman was becoming increasingly taboo and I watched my mom go through a lot of pain because of it.  She was socially ostracized for her decisions and I was aware of it enough to notice once I got to public school and started dealing with other kids who weren’t lucky enough to have moms home with them every day.  I caught on to what was happening very fast and by the time I hit the fifth grade I had made my decision about what was wrong with the world and the women who were raising children to care for it.  They were wrong and I would commit a significant portion of my life to solving that problem—even if it meant standing alone against such a swift tide of feminism that currently is washing our society into a treacherous cliff of anxiety and failure.  As a reward to my mom, for all her hard work, none of her kids have problems.  We all are self-adjusted adults who don’t have addictive personality traits or insecurities largely because in those formation years, from 1 to 4 years of age especially, we all had a mom home with us building the foundations that would last a lifetime.  The kids I knew back then who had messy moms chasing the illusions of feminism all grew up with some sort of problem.  They either melted down in college or hit a wall when they started raising their own families in their late 20s.  There isn’t a single example of a successful person I can think of out of many thousands of examples where a child raised in a day care exceeded the general security and personal presence of a child raised by a housewife.  Many reading this right now are failures and they know it.  Just making money doesn’t make you a successful person.  You have to be successful in every category—otherwise none of it means anything if your kids are all screwed up messes as a result of your decisions.

However, prior to the 60s, it was common for women to stay home with their children.  Both of my grandparents did it—and every old person I knew back then was of the same mind.  They all thought it was quite a destructive trend to see this spoiled generation of college trained idiots sacrificing their time with their children at home while they built careers for themselves as “liberated women.”  That turned out to be a line of crap and it was obvious to me as a kid.  Every child I knew wanted my mom to be their mom because their mothers were too busy to care for them correctly.  And the World War II generation knew America was going down a dark road.

Here’s the big problem with how feminism has shaped this issue—and just about everyone has bit into it fully only to find that there was hot sauce inside that leaves them in quite a lot of pain.  It was always one of the Planks of Communism, (CLICK TO REVIEW) to get children away from their parents and have them be raised by the state.  This was a strategy formulated during the Cold War to spread communism to the entire world.  So by marketing self achievement outside of the home, women became the instruments of American destruction by accepting that their lives were meaningless unless they put a career over their families.  Men were forced to accept this notion otherwise they’d be called a “sexist,” (a Saul Alinsky tactic—CLICK TO REVIEW) and children were put in daycares, pre-school, then of course a public education system that has advocated socialism for well over four decades now.  Feminism and the destruction of the American housewife was a military strategy against our culture.  I was lucky enough to have a mom raising me as a traditional housewife who had the support of grandparents, who didn’t know otherwise at a time.  I was also in public school before the creation of the Department of Education in 1979.  I was able to watch with a clear head all these changes.  It also helped that my favorite subjects for as long as I can remember was history.  Even as a young kid I read a lot, watched lots of PBS documentaries and by the time I was a senior in High School I read USA Today each morning during homeroom.

I was living a very wild life—free of drugs of course and the usual teenage issues of insecurity.  Rather, I was a very confident kid and that made me public enemy number one—because somewhere every adult I interacted with thought that being humbled and conquered was a prerequisite to adulthood.  So the more they tried, the harder I went to war with them—and I left a mess in my wake, but I never wavered.  Obviously that confidence made it easy for me to date girls and I met a lot of them.  Probably too early I met my wife, but she was one of our literally hundreds at the time who really wanted to be a housewife as an adult.  So we started a family right out of the gate and have stayed together in a traditional way ever since—over three decades now.  Of course it wasn’t easy, but it was worth the fight.  I admired that she wanted to be a housewife, so I paved the way for her.  Presently we don’t know anybody who is doing the same type of thing.  It used to be as common in America as grass on a spring day on a vast golf course—but these days we don’t know anybody doing it.  I know they are out there.  I meet women who are housewives in the Liberty Movement around town—who are staying home with their children in a traditional way.  But I don’t know any families that are secure with it to the level that they don’t feel like Amish people dedicated to an archaic religion as modern society surrounds them to eventually crush them with sheer masses.  My wife had a far more difficult time at raising our children than my mom did.  It was often unbearable and incredibly grueling because of the social acceptance of other choices that were obviously wrong for growing children were so well rooted.  Women had been told just as anti-gun advocates have convinced people to fear guns, that women were worthless unless they had their own paycheck and their own life outside of the home.  The strategy of that kind of thinking should be obvious.  To understand the intentions that gave rise to that strategy—from the KGB—watch the film Bridge of Spies.  For younger people who don’t remember the Cold War with Russia, it’s a good film that shows the level of anxiety that was prevalent then.  Feminism was slid under the American door in the same way that communism was sent to Russia by Germany to soften it up economically, as a rival power to Europe.  These aren’t conspiracy theories—they are historical fact—just do a little research.  Feminism was always intended to destroy American culture and the youth that might continue to advance capitalism into the 21st Century leaving Europe drowning in its commitment to Marxism.

The world needs more housewives.  It doesn’t surprise me that Melania Trump as a foreign raised immigrant wants to have that role with her son.  Most women around the world if given a choice would choose to stay home with their children if they had a husband who could take care of all the family income outside.  Women are that way in Japan, through all of Asia, India, Africa—virtually everywhere—except when we get to Europe where the work of philosophers like Immanuel Kant and Karl Marx have deteriorated their culture exporting that failure to America through many means.  Melania Trump is from Slovenia and watched the transition from a communist country to a return to European socialism.  Off the eastern edge of Italy she comes from a family that has seen Italian fascism, the rise of the Nazi to the north and Russian communism to the east.  The great unrest of Bosnia was to the south so she comes from a background that has been hard pressed into compliance.  I don’t blame her one bit for taking off her clothes to use her natural beauty to get out of the limitation of her homeland and live the American dream in the United States.  She caught the eye of the billionaire playboy Donald Trump and obviously grounded him.  If not for her–I really doubt he’d be running for president.  The moment she had a chance to do something good with her life, she has—and with all the concerns of money taken away from her mind—she has chosen to do one of the most conservative American things she could—and that is to become an American housewife.

From the White House, Melania could do a lot of good.  She may look beautiful—but inside her is an intellect hardened by circumstance and a rebelliousness I have only seen in my own wife—who is precisely the same age as Melania and could tell similar stories.  A young women with all the opportunity in the world to sun bath on the deck of a yacht all day in the Caribbean or hang on the arm of a very rich man in a Vegas casino—she has chosen to raise her child in a traditional way and doesn’t waver from the question when pressed.  And it would be my hope that once inside the White House—that she would be the most magnificent First Lady in the history of America not only in beauty, but in her dedication to children—resistance to drugs crossing the border—and her resolute dedication to being a great American housewife serving as an example to millions of young, impressionable girls who really could use a person like her for a role model.  I think it is because of her that Donald Trump is running.  She has a mission to fulfill—and that is something I understand.  America has lost its way and it needs to find its way back—and the key to that is through our children and the moms that make them.

Shooting the Varmints in our Garden: The most peaceful way to end a civil war

I think in the context of history March 3rd 2016 will go down in history as a great battle within the American system of government.  No lives were directly lost because of this battle, because at least in the United States elections still matter and people have them as an option.  For instance there was a debate with Fox News that was on a very large stage nationally, and at each podium was a figure representing various fractured elements of American society.  Marco Rubio represents the old guard establishment even though he came to be as a Tea Party insurgent.  Donald Trump was there as a private sector success story who is ready to run the country as a CEO—which can be good or bad depending on the CEO.  If the CEO is Jack Welch, then it probably won’t be good for everyone—likely just for the company.  If that CEO is like Steve Jobs—which is what I think will happen, then it will be wonderful for every American.  But it’s certainly not a traditional CEO position but it is a private sector presence in a high office that has not been there before.  Ted Cruz represents the type of people who attend C-PAC each year and run the various Tea Parties.  They have helped shape this whole election cycle.  Really everyone on the debate stage got there pandering to the Tea Party—even John Kasich who now represents the type of compromise candidate we’ve had in the past with Mitt Romney and John McCain.  My friend Ann Becker summed up the experience like this on Channel 12 News as she was pushing for some last-minute votes for her own run on the Ohio Central Committee which is on a scale as important as this presidential election—only in a different way.  CLICK THE FOLLOWING LINK FOR MORE.

http://local12.com/news/local/gop-infighting-carries-over-to-butler-county

I have personally tried to work with establishment types for decades, but my summation culminated about this time four years ago into a rather large melt-down that still resonates in my community.  Trump of course is experiencing what I’m talking about on a much larger scale, so I was curious how he’d deal with the severe abandonment of Mitt Romney the day of the Fox Debate.  It was a rather historic occasion, a former presidential candidate whom Trump had supported openly during the 2012 campaign held a press conference type of speech just hours before the debate to discredit Trump in every way he possibly could as a last-ditch effort to destroy the GOP frontrunner to preserve the last remnants of the type of Republican Party that he helped shape.  Trump had even held a very expensive fundraiser for Romney in his Manhattan apartment and had become fairly close to the man.  In 2012 Trump even pushed right to the wire a very important flight to Scotland while Romney was debating Barack Obama because he didn’t want to miss a moment—even in the car on the way to the airport.  So Donald Trump was fairly invested in Romney’s success, which of course history remembers was a failure.  As Romney announced all of Donald Trump’s failures over the years—investments that didn’t emerge victorious—although plenty did—I’m sure Trump would have included Romney on that list.

But you break bread with those people; get to know their wives and you start to like politicians because you think that they are regular people.  You think they are like you are because they sound like you, think like you, and share similar values.  Only, they aren’t like you.  Once they get into public office they turn into something else—because by the nature of a constitutional republic, success in that type of governmental position favors second-handers.  Trump had just come off a week of great successes—Super Tuesday gave him a huge lead over everyone else in the GOP presidential filed and he was showing what a Trump White House would look like as he picked up endorsements of establishment Republicans at an alarming rate-provoking the GOP bosses to attack Trump to his very core in an attempt to knock him out of the race.  That stress showed on Donald Trump at the Fox News debate.  His rivalry with Megan Kelly was in front of him, and two hostile candidates who wanted to unseat him were on each side.  Millions of people were watching to see if Trump would stumble—even world leaders watched terrified of having to deal with the unpredictable businessman from New York.  Trump was pounded and pressed from every direction.  Fox News used televisions to replay old Trump interviews in an attempt to catch him in a gotcha moment—which was hard obviously.  But through it all Trump managed to stand in front of everyone and declare that he had a large penis—literally.  It was the boldest things he could have done at that particular moment and it became the thing that everyone would remember out if this debate, and it was probably the only way out of a day where the establishment had thrown everything including the kitchen sink at Donald Trump ahead of the next round of states voting the following Saturday.

I know how that betrayal feels all too well.  I’ve felt it many times so I felt for Donald Trump being on such a large stage and feeling those emotions.  It won’t be the last time, but it does hurt each time it happens.  The best thing that can be done in those situations is to fight through the disappointment and do whatever it is that has to be done.  The stakes for so much were at full play and Trump did well to stand up there and shoulder it all—which is why I think he’ll be great as president.  The more that moderators and candidates tried to press him from the vantage point of a traditional president, the more wore out Trump looked.  Trump doesn’t plan to be a traditional president.  He intends to run the country like a CEO—as a boss.  America doesn’t elect kings and queens—and doesn’t like to be bossed around.  However, Americans have devolved over the years and presently they do need strong leadership—because they don’t manage their own lives very robustly.  At this particular moment, Trump is the only guy who can do the job.  But it won’t be anything close to traditional.  Trump will hire and delegate many of the presidential tasks because that is the strength of his skill set.  Second-hander politicians do not understand that way of thinking.  And because Trump represents an end to everything they know, they attacked him in the way that a cornered animal might fight for its very life.

 I watched my father and grandparents shoot many varmints that tried to eat food out of our garden, or in their fields.  I always felt sorry for the animals that were shot and killed.  But over time, I learned that the animals were second-handers to the efforts of the person who planted the crops in the first place.  The animals had to be destroyed to keep them from eating everything we worked so hard for.  If those animals had not been shot and killed, they would have destroyed all our efforts.  From the perspective of the animals, they just wanted to survive—and to feed their families.  But, to the vantage point of productive output, they were enemies to that effort.  So they had to be destroyed.  The same can be said about the GOP.  Donald Trump is our rifle that is picking off the varmints eating all the efforts of our careful labor.  Out of desperation, the varmints like Mitt Romney know the end is near for them.  Ann Becker can see it too as she presses on in her desire to unseat Patti Alderson—who represents those old GOP types like John Boehner, John Kasich, and Mitt Romney with financial backing and has helped shape the party into the disaster it currently is.  Ann and I might disagree on how that gun should be fired, but we agree that the crops in our garden must be protected from the second-handed efforts of politicians who just can’t stop themselves from trying to eat and destroy everything.  Donald Trump for me is the twelve gage shotgun; Ted Cruz is a .22 rifle.

If Trump was not running, there may well be an armed insurrection—the situation is that bad in America.  I’ve been covering it for years on these pages.  Trump is my hope of turning everything upside-down and re-organizing the mess into something profitable, and constructive.  It’s my last hope before something more serious happens.  It’s the last chance at an election to resolve a civil war within America—first between conservatives, then across the country in a general election where we are split 50/50 between socialists and traditionalists.  Someone has to do that hard work of converting those socialists to capitalism and laws and executive power just aren’t enough.  The varmints of Washington D.C. have to be eliminated—and Donald Trump is the weapon being presented to do the hard work, and the bloody evacuation of those Mitt Romney types which is required.   But I could see the strain on Trump.  It was hard for him-just as it is for all of us.  And out of all the days of his presidential run when he looks back on it, March 3rd will go down as the worst.  The good news is—it only gets better from here.  Once you shoot the first animal to save the precious crops in your garden, it becomes much easier.  And for Trump, he will learn to do that job very well.  That’s because he’s not a second-hander—and that’s why he needs to be president—because of the chain reaction that will follow.

Trump’s Health Care Plan: Remove the lines and open up the free market

There were a number of really shocking elements that emerged from the GOP debate with CNN recently, particularly the baffling ignorance that Rubio, and Cruz showed regarding the nature of competition.  When Trump described his free market approach to health care, by removing the lines around states which now creates artificial oligopolies of a guaranteed customer base for those entities, Rubio behaved like a teenager who knew everything about how the world worked without ever having a job, a mortgage, or a family to be responsible for.  His desire for a “plan” was rather ridiculous for someone like Trump who knows how to get things done.  Plans are for people at the back of the train.  Vision is for those at the front.  CLICK HERE TO UNDERSTAND THE METAPHYSICS OF QUALITY.

When someone asks for a plan what they are essentially dong is demanding a report that their minds can follow.  Plans are good to have to define a strategic objective, but someone like Trump knows that you can’t fall in love with anything because lots of other people have to provide their input from their perspective.  By the time that happens and everyone arrives at some sort of consensus a “plan” will change a lot, and a lot of valuable time will have gone by—which is why government has such a difficult time accomplishing anything substantial–ever.

I can say from personal experience that when someone has asked “what’s your plan” it is a code term for a second-hander who wants to loot the effort of people who have a superior mind and perspective so that they can feel included in the process.  People at the front of the train know where they are going.  They are the bold daredevils who make the world work.  People at the back are the cowards who perpetually plan so that they can pretend to be a part of the process.  They can provide some value, but often they aren’t worth the cost of extracting it.  Someone like Trump moves very fast from the top of his companies.  He identified the problem with health care insurance and he intends to solve it with a free market solution—similar to what happened when phone companies were deregulated.  Insurance companies today are very similar to how the phone companies used to operate.  Once deregulation was introduced the path toward the modern cell phone was created and prices dropped along with all kinds of options that we presently enjoy.

Out there not yet invented is the iPhone of health insurance but to get to it you have to trust free market capitalism to extract it.  There is no plan that can arrive at that destination—because nobody yet knows who will be the inventor.  But experience understands that when you take away the regulations to an idea that free market solutions emerge and opportunities are thus created.  Trump’s plan on health care is actually the best one out of all the candidates in the GOP—his plan is to get government out-of-the-way and let the free market create a solution.  Then he is planning on some kind of spill over tax that will assist those lacking means to get the care they need because the profits will be so extremely good that the less fortunate will have access by default—kind of like getting free wifi at a Starbucks.  Millions of people pay for Internet service in their homes, but they do have a need for free wifi at times.  People who can’t afford the luxury of such vast coverage still have the opportunity to get what they need from free wifi.  Wealth building exercises create opportunities not yet known and no plan can tell you what they will be because they don’t exist yet to list as an option.

Both Rubio and Cruz supposedly come from Tea Party backgrounds. Cruz claims to love the book Atlas Shrugged.  He of all people should understand what Trump is thinking—yet both politicians piled on with some insistence that what Trump was talking about was socialized medicine and giant government mandates.  That isn’t it at all.  The real solution is to decentralize the medical insurance industry so they can sit back within their state borders and count the residents of those states and dived them by the number of insurance providers to calculate their profit—which is what they love about Obamacare because it dictates that everyone have by law health insurance.  Once people are compelled to buy something, there is no work for the insurance companies to perform other than to divide up the revenue.  The type of deregulation Trump is talking about will wreck that model and offer much lower prices because of the competition.

The answer is as easy as saying “remove the lines” and insurance rates will drop, plans will erupt with competitive options, and innovation will naturally take over so to take advantage of emerging markets. This ridiculous business of wanting to keep people sick and stuck to oligopolies of insurance providers locally selected is just as stupid as the idea of the government school that is bad but giving no choice to parents who happen to live there to just take what is offered because they are compelled by law to attend the nearest education institution.  School choice is an option that terrifies public schools because it allows competition to drive up the quality of schools by allowing parents to vote with their feet.  Teacher unions do not like that—so they fight that concept actively.  Likewise, the insurance industry is concerned with the very same view-point.  They want their customers to have limited options so they are stuck with their price increases.

Trump knows from the front of the train that this health care problem could be solved in one business quarter if he could only get politicians to buy into the solution.  But most politicians are attached to insurance industry lobbyists and they don’t want the gravy train to go away.  So they sent their little attack dogs after Trump in a really vicious way.  I was surprised to see how Rubio and Cruz participated so actively in trying to destroy what Trump was offering.  When the plan is deregulation there isn’t much paperwork to display.  It just means, “take way the lines” and the prices will drop, and innovation will escalate based on free market capitalism.  The moment health insurance is deregulated by the lines that divide up the country, insurance plans with great options and prices will pop up overnight like grass after a spring rain.  It is very simple, but politicians like Rubio want to hold the status quo even as they are supposedly running as Tea Party darlings.  Free markets are the plan, and it would work instantly.  All that has to happen to have it would be to elect a president who understands such things.  And sadly, only one presidential candidate does in 2016, and it isn’t Cruz or Rubio.

Defending Donald Trump’s Labor Practices: Politicians don’t understand what makes a good worker

Even as a Trump supporter I was willing to give Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz a look if they were to become the GOP nominee eventually, but not after the debate on Thursday February 25th, 2016 on CNN.  Cruz and Rubio showed a vast amount of ignorance when they tried to pin down Trump on hiring illegal aliens to build Trump Tower back in the 70s.  Cruz and Rubio both of Cuban decent supposedly representing Tea Party type values tried to attribute Trump to committing to hiring only “American” workers on his many projects.  Specifically they brought up Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach where he tends to hire foreign workers there for the seasonal social events that take place about four months out of a year.  Reports are that over 300 people have applied, but they weren’t qualified because as Trump says, most American help doesn’t want the part-time work—and those that do—(and I’ll add this for him so he doesn’t have to say it) don’t bring the kind of energy for the job that such a resort requires.  So he fills the vacancies with foreign workers with the right attitude who will do the seasonal work of one of the most exclusive resorts in the world.  I understand completely and I am one of the most patriotic people on earth.  But apparently, Rubio, Cruz and the entire media doesn’t understand the problem.  So let me illustrate it for everyone on behalf of people like Trump who find themselves unfairly ridiculed for elements beyond their control. 

http://mashable.com/2016/02/25/donald-trump-polish-workers/#A.uIWytlwkqr

http://www.wptv.com/news/political/new-york-times-donald-trump-hires-majority-foreign-workers-at-mar-a-lago-in-palm-beach

Of course such a controversial piece requires context, so let me provide it from my perspective.  If anybody does currently or ever has worked harder than I do, I’ve never met them—and I have met many thousands of people all around the world.  I’m far from a hermit living under a rock or writing articles from my mother’s basement.  Those descriptions do not apply to me in any way, shape or form. I know a lot about people and different countries, their religions, their histories, and their philosophic elements.  I am very good at seeing what is in people’s hearts because over time I have learned to read them by the kind of work they produce.  You can tell a lot about people by what they make in life—and work is something that most people reveal about themselves.  If they don’t like to work, they are typically very lazy people who can’t be trusted. If they work hard they tend to be good people in all aspects of their lives.  Hard workers therefore are good people, bad workers are not.    I have spent thirty years working every odd job that I think exists at every level of society.  I’ve at many times worked two full-time jobs at separate places for years on end, with only one car in our household.  During those periods I rode a bicycle to work all year-long in every possible weather condition.  Additionally I am seldom late or miss work, and I always give at least 100% to whatever I’m doing whether it’s flipping burgers or arranging multi-million dollar deals.  I like to work, I like to make things, and I love outperforming the people around me.  And I never let anything stop me from an objective—death, sickness—anything.  I’ve actually been in fistfights with people who felt so guilty by my work ethic that they’ve wanted to fight me to bully me into not making them look so bad.  This has actually happened a lot, and I’ve worked in some of the toughest types of places that there are—machine shops, union driven assembly plants, down-and-out fast food workers, janitors, tree trimmers, I actually did car repos for a time and have performed work as a body guard—so we’re not talking about powder puff golf club types or weekend warriors.  I’ve hauled around popular sports figures and helped them through tough times at late night parking lot brawls when they ran their mouths too much—I’ve been there and seen it all.  Saying all that, nobody from my past can come forward to say that they got the better of me in any way.  Nobody was able to bully me into some sort of compromise—on any topic large or small, and nobody can say that they worked harder at anything than me.  That may sound bold, and arrogant to people, but it’s a fact of life.  At 47 years old there are no demons in my closet anywhere in the world who can say otherwise.  That makes me uniquely position to say what I will next.

Just because some slob from a local trailer park who would rather watch Jerry Springer all day while on welfare applies for a job to keep their checks coming as a minimum requirement to receive their government money applies to a job like Mar-a-Lago it doesn’t mean they are qualified.  A warm body does not constitute a good hard worker.  Often you have to interview hundreds of people just to find one good worker.  It is very tricky business and it takes a lot of discretion and personal honesty.  Government people, and Rubio and Cruz certainly fall into that category now in my mind—assume that if an applicant applies for a job and they are American citizens that they are automatically qualified as a warm body for that position.  Not so.  Let me tell you.  All workers are not equal, in spite of what the government and the laws they write try to pretend.  Some are great, some are terrible, some workers are just flat-out lazy and want to collect a pay check for doing the absolute minimum.  When you are at Mar-a-Lago, if you are Donald Trump you want someone who says, “yes sir,” “no sir,” holds the door open for people, is generally of good hygiene and competent.  You expect quality. If all 300 of those reported applicants are not of good quality—they will not be good for the job.  A lot of times these deficiencies force big employers like Donald Trump to look outside of the country for good help. 

I personally love people from other countries because they remind me of my grandparents.  Both my grandparents had working farms and they were very hard workers. I grew up with great examples of people who weren’t afraid of hard work and they judged lazy people as worthless.  It certainly made an impact on me—I took many of those lessons to heart at a very young age. I never liked my teachers in public school or in college—but I always found I got along well with employers.  Teachers were people who often couldn’t do things in the real word and I knew that—so I fought with them incessantly because I deemed them too lazy to face the real world outside of the classroom.  Employers made things happen and I always respected that. The only people who I find these days, after two generations of complete social destruction by our education system who think the way I do about work ethics often come from other countries.  Immigrants from Europe (East Germany, Romania, Poland), Africa, India, Mexico and Asia generally work their asses off, and they actually enjoy it because they feel it reflects the quality of person they are.  They work hard in America because for most of them unlike their country of origin they get to keep their money—so they have no trouble working 12 to 14 hour days because they actually enjoy amassing wealth.  Many foreign-born Americans I know who have only been in America for a decade or so have their cars and houses paid off, and they still work a full-time job and a part-time job while they put their children through college with cash.  I love and respect that approach—like I said it reminds me of how my grandparents used to think—which is how all Americans should think. 

But many Americans who were born and raised within the United States and went through public education only to be trained to think incorrectly about most things don’t get it.  When they apply for a job, they think they are entitled to something. My generation starting getting bad about that attitude in the 1990s and the Millennials have taken it to a whole new level.  I am of a mind that I don’t even think we should have weekends.  If I had things my way Americans would have their companies operating three shifts per day seven days per week all days of the year except for perhaps Christmas—because that is a productive way to live life.  Work, play, and a healthy lifestyle all go hand in hand in my life and I expect that to be the case with everybody.  But too many people American born have been taught that a job is some kind of entitlement, that weekends are entitlements—and that sitting on their ass doing little of nothing but watching television is a right.  They forget that leisure time is not a reward for hard work performed, they assume that it’s a right to the essence of their very souls—and that attitude was adopted from the socialist trends in Europe that are just now catching up to Americans in the States. 

These days you have to interview a lot of American born people to find one good hard worker.  The best way to find them are people who were raised on farms because there is a good chance someone taught them early in life to work hard to some degree.  The worst tend to come from areas swarming with welfare recipients—it doesn’t matter their skin color.  There are always exceptions and it’s good to try to find them, but as a basic rule, that’s the way it is.    Politicians like Cruz and Rubio over the years have made labor laws assuming equality and opportunity to all—so there are legal restrictions to what you can and can’t do with employees especially ones that turn out to be less than spectacular.  But reality dictates flexibility and some method of recharging our education system into producing good workers who learn to live in an American economy instead of becoming socialist activists for a new generation—as they are today and have been for about three decades—at least. 

So you are Donald Trump and you need to complete a project ahead of time and under budget—you need workers who won’t drag ass like some dog with an itch.  You need people who will buckle down and get it done and then some.  Good work is worth more than money—finances are just a form of compensation. Trump needs people who will reach deep and pour their souls into one of his projects—and if you limit yourself to some limits a knuckle-dragging, banana eating political loser has established as the law from the perspective of know-nothings, who have never done anything productive in their lives—he might as well do as most people have and throw their arms up in frustration—buy a condo in Florida and play golf the rest of their lives—because unless you love to work hard—the pain in the ass that it is to make ANYTHING in America these days is unbearably difficult.  You almost have to be insanely hard-working to even try. 

When Trump says he wants to bring back jobs there is a two-part strategy that is far too complicated for someone like Rubio or Cruz to understand.  Nobody in government understands unless they have been in the trenches and actually done private sector work.  First you have to bring back the jobs that were sent overseas through corporate inversions.  Then you have to change the education system to produce workers who can actually perform those tasks.  It’s not so much about giving someone a job in America that Trump is talking about—it’s the wealth that comes with the productivity of those jobs.  Jobs in themselves don’t make anything.  But people do, and not all people are equal—even though politicians want to believe it because their pandering statements make the toothless chain-smoking, trailer trash, casino addicts think they are equal to a worker who wakes up looking forward to a productive day and hesitates taking a break because it makes them feel they are wasting precious time.  Any successful person understands this basic discrepancy.  Trump certainly does and he has worked within the law to find the best possible workers for his various projects.  But back in the Trump Tower days, there was no other option with the way labor unions try to bend you over backwards every five seconds.  You have to have competitive labor to protect yourself from socialist union activism.  Politicians created that limited labor aspect through their laws and policy which using the Department of Labor, heavily favors labor unions.  So if you want to build something, you have to think outside the box within legal parameters of course to find the best people for a project—whether the job is big like Trump Tower or small like job Mar-a-Lago.  Productive enterprise cannot be constrained by law and political short-sightedness to believe that a job of any kind can be filled by any ol’ warm body.  It can’t.  Jobs are opportunities for productivity, and that is a magical thing—and not everyone is capable of comprehending that magic and the wonder it often brings when it’s done well. 

Rubio and Cruz clearly didn’t understand the definition of good labor at that debate—but then again, few people really do.   But they do know big labor and how to make a pitch for their monopoly on productive work and the ability to shut down effort to drive up costs due to a lack of competition by the more ambitious.

The Last Days of a Dying GOP: Why Donald Trump scares the establishment–the game is changed forever

Obviously this is the end of the line for the traditional GOP who desperately desires to stay in charge of the political machine that controls Republican politics.  After the historic Nevada win Trump showed the GOP establishment that he could break 45% of the vote in a victory so ahead of Super Tuesday the entire GOP put their faith in Marco Rubio’s mouth to change strategies and challenge Donald Trump during a CNN debate in Texas where the kid came out swinging hard.  He made an impact on the weak-minded who took to Twitter to goad me as a Trump supporter within hours of the tag team event where Rubio and Ted Cruz were obviously trying to knock Donald Trump into another dimension with one last gasp.  The following Tuesday could put everything out of reach for them within a week—as far as political ambition—so they fought like cornered losers—one last stand at the Alamo before being overrun completely.  Here is what was sent to me on Twitter after establishment supporters of the GOP felt their puppets did well during the debate:

@overmanwarrior @TwRandy 4 bankruptcies, lying about his net worth, inherited a fortune, supported late-term abortion and universal healthcare.

For which I replied:

One way to stay safe in life is to do nothing and live as a politician. Life at the top touches a lot of people.

I thought Trump held his own in the debate so there was no reason to defend him.  But the behavior of the GOP in obviously sitting down with Rubio and pressing him with their fate revealed a lot more than even I anticipated.  Rubio completely changed from playing the role of a somewhat nice all-American kid—a Kennedy-type of candidate—to a petulant teenager who was unproven in the world challenging his father in a last-ditch effort to not be like him.  As Cruz pressed Trump several times I couldn’t help but think—what has Cruz ever done in his life to justify any arrogance.  Trump on the other hand has accomplished quite a lot.  And like I said on Twitter, when you do things in life that touch a lot of people, there will be many who will not have a favorable impression of you.  Especially if you have a track record of winning a lot.  If you win, that means many people who have come into contact with you have lost, and that usually makes people feel bad about themselves.  That said, if a person is a winner, they will have many enemies and Trump certainly does.  Add to that his massive personal wealth earned the old-fashioned way and a lot of people who have lost to him in the past will do anything and everything to get back at him in some way.  But Rubio—what has he done in his life to justify his arrogance on stage that day?  He hasn’t done anything in his life to earn it—leaving him looking like a spoiled brat teenager full of gumption, but no track record to back it.

The GOP establishment did what they can only do, they studied Donald Trump on tape and goaded Marco Rubio into being the actor that he is—and mimic the alpha male the best he could with a last-ditch effort to knock the GOP frontrunner off the mountain and hopefully get some traction for really the first time now that Jeb Bush is out of the race.  Marco Rubio isn’t a tough guy by any measure, but he is a typical politician—he will say anything and do whatever he is told by the establishment who desires to use his youthful looks and natural charisma to maintain their control centered in the Beltway and extending out into America and beyond.

What the GOP didn’t count on was that they were forced to show all their cards five days ahead of Super Tuesday and that all that was by strategic design from Trump.  I thought it was odd that Trump mentioned Chris Christie several times during the debate with Rubio because he anticipated what was going to happen.  Christie joined the Trump campaign early in the morning before the debate to essentially become a Rubio killer knowing that the GOP would put everything it had behind Rubio—and the kid showed everything he had in the debate for which Trump just studied for the first hour—like any fighter does—track the opponent and see what moves he has—before laying in to a final punch.

The media went wild that someone had finally challenged Trump.  Cruz and Rubio were heroes to all the cowardly lions out there who were naturally intimidated by the manner of Trump—and they were hopeful that perhaps a lesson had been learned.  To their minds Donald Trump represents every movie bully they had ever seen.  They have no other context for a character like him against the backdrop of their little lives and all the little dreams they limited their mind to.  So their hatred of Trump goes further than just political ambitions.  Trump is essentially a grown-up unconquered child with the mind of a very young person—sharp, playful, ambitious and striving to learn and be challenged.  For all the people who have sold themselves short in life with low goals and were too timid to hold the line to challenges that shook their belief system—Trump is a mirror they’d rather not look at.  When they look at him they see everything they wanted to be, but dared not become.  So the hatred of Trump runs deeper than just politics—and there are plenty of enemies who hoped they could buy success through him with Trump University and many other things avoiding the hardship of actually living and accomplishing endeavors.  Trump tried to teach people how to become wealthy, but something even he didn’t understand at the time—you can’t make second-handers desire to become primaries with a couple of years of education.  They either are people not afraid to be at the front of the train, or they are happy in the back.  CLICK TO LEARN MORE.  THERE IS AN ACTUAL SCIENCE TO THIS WAY OF THINKING THAT IS VERY IMPORTANT. Nothing can help people inclined to the back of the train, to be successful—and Trump learned that the hard way.  It was one of his failures started with great ambition, but the psychology of mankind prevented its success.  He’ll win his civil case without any problem.  Trouble and the wake of it come with being a billionaire who has actively tried to help people all his life.  Some people just can’t be helped.ultimately finding that they did not have the right stuff to become like him.  Rubio studied Trump and mimicked him on stage at the CNN debate trying to turn the tables.  Trump seemed to admire the effort a bit and even told Cruz and Rubio to keep swinging for the fences—but toward the end of the debate Trump had what he needed to crush Rubio in the days that followed.  And that’s exactly what will happen.

That is the difference in this particular case ladies and gentlemen.  There has never been a person like Donald Trump in history who has made it to this point in the political process and the machine which controls both parties and is run off the fuel of communism—established during the 1950s in America, knows that its very existence is in trouble. CLICK HERE TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE USE OF COMMUNISM IN THIS CASE IS NOT AN INFLAMATORY STATEMENT, BUT IS OF HISTORICAL RECORD. This political machine will not be able to compete with Trump.  It is over for them and they know it.  The rules are changing day by day—and not to their liking.  They have been exposed once and for all.

Trump has had a few things that didn’t work out, and he learned from them and is the person he is today as part of that history.  I’m comfortable with his record, because for every failure are wonderful successes—great successes.  But what has Rubio done—or for that matter any other person in the entire GOP?  They are second-handers themselves—like those people who took classes at Trump University hoping to become like Donald Trump—but

Corporate Inversions: The ultimate wealth redistribution scheme

 

It’s important for everyone to know that corporate inversions are the direct result of policies and laws created by open border advocates for the primary objective of redistributing the wealth of America around the world to socialist and communist countries.  For instance, many don’t know it, but the Mexican Revolution at the turn of the last century was a Marxist inspired event, just as all of Central America, Cuba and South America were challenged with.  Those are not capitalist countries.  All of Africa has struggled between communism and socialism as well as Europe.  Russia was communist—now it just wears the face of a free market economy—but is still run by a former KGB agent who strives to take Russia back to the “good ol’ days.  Scandinavia is openly Bernie Sanders socialist.  China is communist, Vietnam is communist.  North Korea is communist. India is a hybrid socialist country and Australia is experimentally socialist.  That leaves really the United States to be the only somewhat capitalist country on earth and we all know in economics that socialist and communist countries are not job producing environments.  So they needed jobs in those places—to be fair, and only the United States had them.  The United Nations put pressure on law makers to organize trade deals that inspired corporate inversions through American tax codes to drive jobs created under a capitalist system to poor regions distraught by Marxist philosophies.  It was the ultimate wealth redistribution plan.

Obviously, if America is going to survive, it has to stop that practice.  When Trump uses the Carrier air conditioning company moving from Indiana to Mexico as an example to take advantage of corporate inversion business tactics, the key to solving the problem is to make it not so economically feasible for those companies to leave.  Their labor costs are already too high because of the socialist oriented labor unions—also by design—to drive up costs in America making employers want to seek places like India and China to help their bottom line.  But the big villain is the tax structure where corporations are demonized through the tax code to pay extraordinary amounts which inspires them to places like Mexico just to survive.  That is a progressive strategy manipulated by behind the scenes radicals like George Soros to attack the American economy by looting the wealth of capitalism and redistributing it to the socialist progressives of Mexico.

The proper thing to do is to view such behavior as a military attack against American sovereignty.  Immediately whoever the next president is needs to change the corporate inversion laws to make the practice far less attractive to companies.  The next president needs to find a way to make American companies want to stay in the United States.  So far, only Donald Trump has shown any willingness to attack this issue with swift action.  That’s why it’s laughable that people would actually attack him as not being conservative.  You have to understand what we are fighting.  Corporate inversions are anti-capitalist—they are massive wealth redistribution schemes created by Marxist philosophy.  Jobs created in the United States are inspired to move with their feet for short run gains only to put jobs in the pockets of socialist countries unable to create them on their own—because of their terrible social philosophy.

Trump offers something that only he could perform, an opportunity in the first year of his presidency to reverse the corporate inversion imposition that we are currently experiencing by convincing congress to change the laws on the books and to deal directly with manufactures like Carrier to stay in Indiana instead of moving to Mexico.  Remember that giant sucking sound that Ross Perot was talking about in 1992?  Well, this is it, and somebody needs to plug the hole.  Only Trump shows the ambition, business smarts, and willingness to do the hard work of changing the corporate inversion culture.

So what happens to the rest of the world?  Surely, the moment that America puts a stop to corporate inversions the United Nations will cry foul like a forward in soccer falls to the ground the moment a defense player breathes on them.  Well, they will suffer, and if they stick with socialism and communism, they will rot away.  America could take the lead to teaching them capitalism—for their own survival.  Japan has learned well from America, and Hong Kong is still doing pretty well in spite of its communist mother country.  The UAE is pro capitalist for the most part.  There are plenty of examples to learn from—and the countries of the world need to pay attention.  But they do not have a right to operate as collectivist based Marxist economies and use our weak government bureaucrats to steal America jobs because they are incompetent idiots.  They need to learn what works and adopt that; otherwise they won’t be able to compete.  That is the way it’s going to have to be.

It’s not compassionate to destroy yourself so that the deliberately weak and malpracticed can continue to operate as parasites.  It is not justice for jobs to be created here in America—developed and nurtured along by a customer base, then to lose those assets to deficient countries who get gold mines dropped in their laps without doing the work of creating it.  It’s no different from welfare recipients getting a check from government which was stolen through taxation from wealthy, hard-working people—someone else did the work, and someone else benefited because government served as the mediating thief between the two parties.  Donald Trump’s position on this could not be more conservative, and there is no other candidate who will dare move against the George Soros type of American insurgents financing the open border movement for the very reason of spreading socialism around the world.  That is one of the premier reasons that I’m supporting Trump, and the swiftest action possible the moment he’s elected.  Because time is running out.  When companies like Carrier are heading into Mexico the clock is about to run out.  This is not something to take lightly.  I talk to a lot of people, especially in business, and there are many who offer their two cents on any given topic, but their value isn’t worth a penny.   Because they are already on their way to Mexico in their minds, and the world of socialist governments who offer short term gains for lazy, complicit losers.  Yes the booze is cheap in Puerto Vallarta, and the women are easy—because they have nothing else to run to.  For a corporate CEO looking for a tax shelter and cheap labor who spent the first half of their life busting their ass to work up the ladder and is on their second marriage—Mexico looks attractive.  But it’s not America, and it never will be.

Donald Trump Nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize: Winning New Hampshire and on to South Carolina

 

I was not surprised that Donald Trump won in New Hampshire.  I’m happy to see that the polls were correct, and with that measure, Trump shouldn’t have any trouble in South Carolina or Nevada either.  I have stated many times why I support Donald Trump for President, so I am glad that he is beginning to pull out ahead from the pack, and that the reality of that is beginning to set in.  I know there are many of my liberty fighting friends who don’t understand why a guy like me would support Trump, but they will in time.  Some were beginning to understand after Trump’s acceptance speech in New Hampshire, seen below.  The world is beginning to see what a Trump White House would look like, and they are starting to see the big picture.

The first sign of this new era, which is great for those who truly love America, could be seen in the melt-down that the left-winged web sites spewed upon realizing how strongly Trump finished.  I truly enjoyed the Huffington Post diatribes given how they behaved at the start of his campaign.  It is for all the reasons that “they” hate Trump that I support him.  He is a conqueror, and that’s what we need right now.  We don’t need a Constitutional attorney or a sweet talker; we need a tough guy who can beat up on the insurgents.  Trump is that kind of guy.

It seems many missed the story prior to the New Hampshire primary, that Trump had received a nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize:

Kristian Berg Harpviken, a Nobel watcher and head of the Peace Research Institute in Oslo, Norway, told Agence France-Presse that he received a copy of the nomination letter sent to the Norwegian Nobel Committee that selects the recipient. 

According to the letter, the author of which was not disclosed, Trump deserves the prize for “his vigorous peace through strength ideology, used as a threat weapon of deterrence against radical Islam, ISIS, nuclear Iran and Communist China.”

This is just one example of how Trump is changing the very definition of things, and the longer he continues, the better things get for traditional America.  With each state that he wins, the radical leftist utterances we’ve all had to endure for years swings back in the proper Constitutional direction.  When people wonder if they can trust Trump or to know if he is a wolf in sheep’s clothing, just study his children and his personal wealth.  You can tell a lot of things about a man by the type of lifestyle that he lives. Trump doesn’t drink, he doesn’t smoke, and he has never done drugs.  He’s rich and beyond financial influence, he’s smart and leans more toward Rush Limbaugh and Alex Jones than Glenn Beck.  And his kids are better than him in morals and ethics.  He can outsmart the political left with a wit none of them embody and is the best man for the job of president at this particular point in history.

So it’s on to South Carolina.  I am looking forward to watching him uncover more of America state by state.  If he can redefine the trend of the Nobel Peace Prize, he can do just about anything—and for them, those who love the American flag; they have a lot to look forward to.  To those who hate that flag, they hate Trump and everything that is coming.
