The Amateur of Butler County: Kathy Wyenandt shows why she’s a long way from ready with Amy Acton comment

I think Kathy Wyenandt is a nice person who is well intentioned, but we just can’t let it go that she attacked George Lang after he voted to support Senate Bill 1 which is meant to reign in the powers of the out-of-control liberal Amy Acton. Kathy is a Democrat after all so of course she is going to come to the defense of other liberals and attempt to make it some kind of “girl power” thing so that she can have a remote chance of beating George Lang in the upcoming fall election where they are both fighting for the 4th District Senate Seat in Ohio. After some nice discussions with her I was planning to treat the race like I did between Mark Welch and Jennifer Gross. I liked Mark, but both were good candidates so I let the thing play out without a lot of opinion from me. I don’t go out of my way to pillage people as much as that might seem to be, and I personally like Kathy. When I see her I always ask her if she’s ready to be a Republican. But truly she is a classic liberal and that comes out in her behavior especially when pressed and sticking herself into the Amy Acton business is all the evidence anybody needs to ensure that she doesn’t get a vote for that senate race.

What bothers me about Kathy Wyenandt’s comment about Amy Acton, George Lang and Senate Bill 1 the most is that it shows what an amateur she truly is running for a big senate race. It shows how little respect she has for the effort. I mean, I shouldn’t be surprised, her only real previous experience is as a Lakota school levy supporter, which is a pretty small game that is very one sided. As a senator, she needs to be able to represent a lot of voters of all kinds of backgrounds, even if it is her choice to be a Democrat, she has to understand that she needs a larger platform than to just say, “I’m a mom and I support Amy Acton” who is a liberal Obama nightmare of a mistake by Mike DeWine for appointing her in the first place as an abortion activist in a pro-life administration. What a mess, and you’d think Kathy would be politically savvy enough to see the minefields there and to navigate them better than she did. However, because she’s so one dimensional, she has nothing else on her platform but to essentially agree with George Lang on just about everything because she has nothing else to run off of. With only a property tax increase as her calling card, she is clearly well above her experience level with this race, and it makes me angry that I considered her higher than that.

Yet that’s what pressure does to people, it shows what they are really made of and its good to see what she has to offer so early in the race. That she proposed that we were just supposed to accept Amy Acton’s mistakes in running Ohio economically, off what will prove to be a very overblown government response to Covid-19 that is going to be embarrassing for many people for many years to come, is the same kind of stupidity that pro levy supporters typically endorse for schools where the labor is too high for what they give students in government schools. People like Kathy just want to believe in the system, so they sign up without question to the bullet points, and then put their support behind it. That clearly shows that Kathy isn’t able to represent anybody at the level of the senate where lobbyists and all types of corrosive character is out for the vote of a senator at every turn. You must have a pretty strong character to endure all that without getting sucked into a scam, and that is exactly how history will remember Covid-19. Forget about what the phony polls conducted by media are right now about the coronavirus, 6 months from now when people have their minds on the election and the Covid-19 lockdowns are something they want to forget, everything about the coronavirus will be something that nobody will want to remember, especially in politics.

To play the big game of a senate seat a candidate needs to have much better political instincts than what Kathy has shown. The scope of the effort must be more than people over politics, which is Kathy’s slogan for this election. Its too similar to Teachers for Kids, when trying to pass school levies tricking people into paying more in property taxes to cover the gross mismanagement of school boards who just cave into every labor agreement without any pushback which causes the budget problems. In this race George Lang isn’t like me where he wants to bust up everyone on the political left and make a belt out of them, he’s a pretty nice guy. What he and I have always agreed with is that government should get out of the way of individual rights and everything flows from there. But as a person, George will sit down and talk to anybody. I don’t know that George has any real political enemies. He tends to always look to make a friend out of anybody which is a good trait in someone representing a lot of people in an important senate seat. Butler County has over 400,000 people in it and most of them are not as liberty minded as me, and George represents them well. I think Amy Acton should be strung up and blasted out of a cannon into space only to return as a meteor shower. George is willing to blame Mike DeWine for her, and he’s willing to give the Governor the benefit of doubt. Hindsight is always 20/20. I saw it all in foresight, but how could anybody know what to believe? George is a very balanced person, so what does Kathy have in the tank for the race if her opposition is actually more of a people person than she is?

The evidence is already quite clear for her, in the primary with no competition George Lang still had more votes than she did. And George had two other rivals competing with him for votes. Kathy would have to raise a lot of money, which she’s trying to do with George’s support of Senate Bill 1 to even move the needle a percentage or two. She could put her face on all the billboards in town, buy up YouTube ads. Do the street walking. She may work her ass off and at best she’s going to get a very minor gain for the effort, because George will at least match her efforts. The guy works hard and is very sincere in his efforts. Even at her best, George will match her. And if she falls short of his efforts, which is highly likely, she won’t stand a chance of even getting those few percentage points. So what she was thinking with her comments about Amy Acton showed gross misunderstanding of what it will take to compete in this election and personally, I don’t want to see her embarrassed.

Its not that I have any real love for her, she’s a rival from the old Lakota levy campaigns and she thinks that 2013 levy won because of her. Nope, it passed because of Sheriff Jones getting behind the effort which pulled away just enough No Lakota Levy people to give a very, slight, marginal victory in an off-year election after a lot of money was spent even trying to consult people into a yes vote. And that same naivety is at work with this attack of George over Amy Acton. Right now people don’t know who to believe and Acton has been on television everyday sounding very motherly, and making people feel safe. But in the months to come, she is going to be ridiculed to no end and the politics of Covid-19 will be crushing. Anybody not part of the solution of getting people back to work and putting coronavirus in the rearview mirror will be viewed with the same anger that is coming out of these lockdowns. And for Kathy, she was already on a major uphill climb. I didn’t want to see her win that seat as George is my pick naturally. But I don’t really want to see her destroyed as a person, and that is where she is headed. Which is a shame.

Covid-19 is not a Death Sentence: They want to control you with fear like a bird in a warehouse

I was trying to shut down a warehouse this past week and a bird had flown in and was terrified and couldn’t get out. The thing had flown into one of the big shipping doors which looked easy to fly through from the outside, but once inside, the light looked different and we had these jagged gates that go across the bay doors to keep any malicious intent from conducting evil. The bird couldn’t navigate its own fear and simply fly back out so it was stuck. To free the bird I had to open the big gates and physically leave the area because it was too scared of me and the strange gate to save itself. Once I gave it a big opening to fly through after I had removed myself from the area, the bird was then able to free itself and fly back outside. And in many ways, I have been doing the same thing on this blog site regarding Covid-19. People, like that bird have paralyzed themselves with fear of the virus and now they are looking to free themselves, but are too terrified to do even that. So they have to be shown the way to freedom and to be treated ever so carefully so not to allow their own fears to imprison them forever.

To me, there is nothing new about the malicious characters behind the coronavirus. But most people are functioning from bird brains and can’t see where the real danger is or trust themselves to deal with it. So, they are allowing themselves to be controlled by these outlandish characters which is feeding a great evil in the world. There are forces who want to use fear to herd people into political and economic strategies that the malicious have concocted and to trap them like that bird I described in situations of peril for the pure purpose of destruction of individual liberty. Most people can’t see it because like that bird, they flew into a door that looked easy on the outside, but once inside there were all kinds of pre-programmed instincts that prevented the bird from saving itself and getting out. Many of these evil people who are pushing the danger of this Covid-19 virus are of this mind, using primal fears to control many of us into their designs of political power, and its as simple as that. That was never more obvious than during this past week as the world was coming back on and people were returning to work, than the media in a panic was trying with everything they had to stir fear among our ranks and keep us all locked in that metaphorical warehouse only to face our own dooms.

Before I say this let me just spell out doom before they experience it to all the enemies out there who might fantasize tracking me for contact tracing. If I had Covid-19 I never noticed and I have worked around a lot of people who came down with it. I have done more temperature checks and been around many others who have to screen for Covid-19 than most people have including those working on the “front lines” during the height of the virus outbreak and I never got sick and have no plans to ever. I have said always that the way to beat the virus is to eat well, get out in the sun and live as happy a life as you can. Give your immune system ammunition to fight off diseases and support it with a positive attitude. With that said, Covid-19 is not a death sentence. I can think of at least 10 people who I know who have had the virus and they all got over it and are now back in the world working. As I have also always said, get the virus, get over the virus, and get back to work. All the micromanaging that the government has been doing was simply to keep the bird shut up in the warehouse terrified and at the mercy of the government. It had nothing to do with safety, and as the media has now witnessed that their political objectives might be met by keeping all the birds terrified and locked up not able to free themselves, they have really turned up the heat on the danger of the Covid-19 virus even though the evidence says the opposite, the coronavirus is a sub-par virus that doesn’t do much to most people. It does aggravate pre-existing conditions, but that’s another matter that is manageable. To publicly announce everyone who comes down with the Covid-19 virus and to suggest quarantine measures and government tracking is to artificially provoke the level of danger purely for the means to control society with their own fears. Covid-19 is for most people a mild cold that they will get over quickly. Its not a death sentence.

I can think of a few other people I know who found themselves in the hospital over Covid-19, but you must understand dear reader that these were people starved for attention in regular life. The drama of Covid-19 brought them fame and fortune that they gladly would have traded for even death if it brought pity on their lives in some way. For about 12 hours these people were Facebook darlings on the verge of death bringing these people great sympathy, which is all they wanted. They are part of those statistics that the government is using to try to advance their micro controls over our lives with justification to match. When I was told about their hospital ordeals, I simply shrugged my shoulders and moved on because it wasn’t about the virus, it was about the pity for them. Such factors are always part of the story, and guess what. They lived, although I’m not sure they wanted to. They would have gladly traded death for the 15 minutes of fame they received being part of the Covid-19 story. And that’s the world we are living in. Some people want to be the bird trapped in the warehouse. People can hear them chirping once isolated. Out in the big scary world, they are just muted voices among the millions of other birds chirping. Coronavirus made them special and they’ll miss the drama once it is finally over.

I am more than a little suspicious that this past week Vice President Pence’s press secretary tested positive for coronavirus and that one of President Trump’s staff members came down with it. Then there was the report that 11 Secret Service agents tested positive as if the story were meant to give Trump pause about re-opening the country. But the truth is they want to put us all back into that warehouse afraid to leave by our own misguided “preprogrammed” inner fears, yet all those people mentioned and more will get over the coronavirus easily on their own without a lot of drama and life will return to normal for them without a second thought. The new stories about the infections are intended to control us, not protect us, keep that in mind. The media is not our friends, they are trying to trick us into imprisoning ourselves with fear so that they can then control our fate completely. Such as in the case of the bird. If I had not gone out of my way to save that bird, it would have starved over the weekend locked in that warehouse without food and water. And that is what the media in a partnership with government wants for all of us, they want to trap us into a place they control our fate. So make it of your mind to not give them what they want. Don’t fear Covid-19. Don’t listen to their voodoo science. Keep your freedoms at the front of your thoughts and yield nothing to them, because their intentions are not for your wellbeing. Believe that!

Of Course People Took Guns to the Capital: We’re not playing patty cake with the Constitution

This has been a stunning week, the notion that liberals have which assumes that people with guns should not storm their capitals and demand justice as they did recently in Michigan protesting the governor there, and in Ohio in front of Amy Acton’s house, who has been the health director of Mike DeWine, the out of control governor who really started the lockdown movement in the United States, is completely wrong. When the laws of a republic do not work, then what did anybody think the recourse would be? Compliance? Give me a break, surely people weren’t that stupid. It is an obligation of all Americans to defend the Constitution of the United States and if forces, such as progressives, try to change the law through executive orders, emergency powers, or other back door antics of imperilment, then it is a mandate for people to defend themselves with that last line of defense referred to as the 2nd Amendment. If the 1st Amendment fails, the 2nd is there to protect the rest. Because if the 2nd goes, so does the rest of the Constitution. I was most stunned that Sean Hannity came out against the protestors with guns at the Michigan capital. He obviously is missing a few parts of the story as he has been lock step with President Trump in getting suckered into the whole Covid-19 thing. I can’t blame someone for not knowing something if they don’t have the intellectual means of obtaining the information. But he should understand that Covid-19 was never about a virus, it was a progressive attack against our Constitution and that imposition is a mandate for us to defend it against that attack. And that’s what people bringing guns to the protests were doing, and thankfully they didn’t have to use them.

Like most of what comes out of the progressive movement, they didn’t think everything through. While its true, most Americans were quick to follow orders and listen to the authorities and hide in their homes to avoid spreading a virus, or to wear masks for the benefit of others, there were enough Americans who could see what was happening to provide a proper resistance, and that aggression is far from over. We gave it a few weeks, like any good society should, but once it was realized that the whole Covid-19 outbreak was a political stunt launched from China and the World Health Organization’s most activist members, many Americans were ready to fight, and that is the reason we have guns in this country. Lots of them. And we will continue to have them or there will be a real fight, a bloody one, because that is the reason there is a 2nd Amendment in the first place, for just these kinds of attacks.

Yes, Covid-19 was an attack on the American way of life. Taking guns to a protest was not a political stunt, it was a warning, that violence could come next and that we are ready to take the fight to the enemy—domestic enemies. If there was anything good that came out of the coronavirus pandemic it was that the enemies of the American Constitution came out in the open thinking they had won the day, and that there would be a “new normal” where the American Constitution would be surpassed by some new guidelines written by the United Nations and flowing down through the World Health Organization and into the global society as a whole. At that point Americans would be considered just another member of the global citizen network. There are many progressives who already call themselves that, and they were betting that this coronavirus would be the straw that broke the camel’s back. Until protestors showed up with their guns.

Believe me, that’s the last thing I want to see happen, where we have to pull the trigger on others to defend our Constitution. But, if the American Constitution is no longer the law, then I’ll have to. And I will lead others to the cause, and the other side will not win. I’d rather do thousands of other things, like ride roller coasters at Kings Island, have breakfast at Cracker Barrel, and enjoy a shopping experience at Dillard’s with my wife buying new $200 ties. That’s the American life I signed up for and I agree to live by the rules of the Constitution in peace so long as everyone else does too. But when you see judges like the one in Dallas, Texas who sent a salon owner to jail for opening her business against his orders, then a fight is on the horizon if those progressive forces do not come back into the fold of law that the Constitution affords them. Without that piece of paper written that founded America, there is no reason otherwise to have a peaceful exchange with them as they incur themselves upon our rights, even during some emergency consideration. Progressives do not have a right to tell me what to do any day of the week and if they throw themselves in front of my path, they will be run over. Not my fault, I’m living by the Constitution. If they step away from it, that’s their problem.

And I was glad to see I wasn’t alone. It was good to see that there were enough Americans out there that were not suckers that maybe bloodshed could be avoided. God bless that Texas salon owner Shelley Luther who defied an unjust mandate by a corrupt legal system. Someone from our ranks had to do it and suffer the consequences. What she did took guts, and to be honest, it probably saved lives. GOD BLESS HER! In my own thinking, I’ve been waiting for Trump to catch on and fix this mess. I understand how he got roped into it, but without a president who might turn it around, I have been thinking what strategies needed to happen next and how to implement them. But yielding to progressives in obedience was never in the cards, and it never will be for me. I hope the day never comes, but there were 7 or 8 times over the last couple of months where it came damn close. Luckily, I live in an area with a good sheriff, a strong conservative political party, and a lot of people who think the way I do when pressed.

So it was never a surprise to me that people showed up with guns to draw that line in the sand. The Constitution requires them to defend it that way. What was a surprise was that progressives were so baffled by it. It was as if such a thing was not in their thoughts when they planned this whole damn thing. I think its safe to say that it should be obvious to everyone why they want to get rid of the 2nd Amendment. But its obvious they didn’t understand how deeply connected people relate the 2nd Amendment to their Constitutional rights, which all progressives want to “progress” beyond. It appears they underestimated the resolve of Americans. Not everyone is so educated and resolute, most just want to live their lives as I described. But when you take that life away from them, they will grab their guns and force change on the stupid politicians who caused the mess and disrupted their happiness. And they should. That is part of the wonder of being free. Now that some portion of humankind has experienced that freedom, its not going back into the long history of misery that came out of that bottle which progressivism wants us all to drink from. Gunfire will happen before progressivism takes over America—it has to.

Why Face Masks are Stupid in America: They are just another method by communism to change behavior

I realize that by taking the position I have with the coronavirus that I won’t be invited to meet the President any time soon, if ever especially during the election campaigns of 2020. I’ve met him several times before, I’m good. I’m still a supporter. Its nice to see him and those experiences are ones I will always fondly remember, but we have serious business going on here and someone must state the obvious. You can see who the enemies are out there, especially in the print newspapers and their position on the face masks, which President Trump has failed to control the narrative coming out of the CDC. Like most things regarding the coronavirus he got side swiped by global activists who came into his office and told him millions of people were going to die, and he bit on the trap. They had him set-up from the beginning by accusing him of not listening to experts through lots of media criticism so they could get him to jump when they wanted him most with the Covid-19 outbreak that was mostly media driven, not scientifically mandated. And its because of those failures that this mask marketing campaign is underway. So let me explain the mask situation to you so you can know why you should be angry about it.

Masks are not about saving lives; they are about changing behavior. The health director of Ohio Amy Acton admitted as much in several of her press events on the matter. Face masks are parts of the way of life coming out of Asia, which tends to be very authoritarian and the hope by global citizen types is that America will adopt this trait and carry with it the loss in individuality that the masks are designed to evoke. Ironically, as the Enquirer was selling in an editorial comparing face masks to seat belts the goal is to make others feel safe and thus to give up some of your individual liberty for the sake of other people. Once you do that, then all kinds of other things could be introduced all in the name of “other people want it,” like tax increases, vocabulary, job grievances, even family habits. The face masks represent a major assault on the American way of life starting with the emphasis on shifting the focus on individual behavior to that of collective approval. It has absolutely nothing to do with controlling the spread of the virus. You can know that by watching the behavior of the CDC recommendations through the months of January through April 2020, where the position changed as the World Health Organization shifted its strategy based on observations made in reaction to the Covid-19 pandemic as they labeled it.

Just as “social distancing” was never meant to stop the virus, it was only meant to “slow the spread” which was always inevitable so that the lockdowns which were international in nature could allow more time to change behavior in people. As all change agents know, it takes at least 21 days to accept a new idea for a typical human mind. So 6 weeks to a few months were needed to implement climate change policies that the United Nations Agenda 21 crowd wanted to push onto the world as a result of the World Health Organization definitions of the coronavirus. And of course by slowing the spread, it would also stop all economic activity and return the world to something of a natural state as the global greenie weenies strategized and implemented not with guns and tanks this time, but with rules and regulations as more people in the history of the world were trained to be process driven, and willing advocates of strategies that were beyond their comprehension, with smiles on their faces, such as most every media type working today. They all think the same things because their training all came from the same places. That’s why they don’t question the merits of social distancing or the face masks, because they are trained to advocate left leaning policies without question. And we are trained to trust them, without question. Except some of us still do.

The face masks are actually part of a much deeper sentiment that is a carry over to many other liberal strategies, such as making all people equal therefor making the “collective” much more unified. Remember in the Olympics that were held in China where the opening ceremony showed shockingly unified people dancing in sync to one another? That is the hope of the global citizen movement, that all people everywhere will be equal, no matter what their sex, color or background. But to do that, the lofty Americans need to be torn down from their individual vices and rebuilt to value the African spear chucker for instance, or the people of India bathing in the sacred waters of the Ganges where feces, urine and the stank of dead bodies rub up against you constantly while swimming in that river with thousands of other people. Americans are expected to step off their mountaintop and get down in the mud with the rest of the world and to evoke that, they want you to wear a facemask, get rid of the nice perfumes, the lipstick, the eye shadow, all the things that people do to make themselves look a little better. If you are wearing a mask, then everyone is equally ugly, and that’s what they want. Wearing masks benefit ugly people, obviously, and the lazy people who don’t want to comb their hair, brush their teeth, or put on some bright lip stick. Its just another attack on capitalism from foreign powers.

But notice who advocates the wearing of masks then points at other contentious issues in the past as reasons to adopt the inevitable. Well, I remember all those issues and I still don’t like wearing a seat belt. I only do it because the damn thing beeps at you until you buckle it because of all the regulations that were put on automakers to make their cars more compliant. I’ve been in car crashes several times at over 100 MPH and let me tell you, I never had on a seat belt and I walked away from those events just fine. I did get some bruises and cuts. One time I had a chipped tooth from where a passenger’s head hit mine while the car was flying around, but that was it. I know car crashes kill people, but I’m still not a seat belt guy. I never accepted it as a safety precaution. I also remember when it wasn’t mandatory to purchase insurance. I remember when that law was passed which essentially gave insurance companies a lot of guaranteed business and could drive up their prices accordingly. I remember when you could buy beer at 18 too. I remember a lot of things and with each new push there were government activists trying to change American behavior for needs that were not part of our culture as a country. But we’re using safety as a change agent for communist ideas coming out of Asia as a way to turn our country into part of the global citizen network. And these face masks are just the latest attempt, and like the newspapers in Cincinnati are trying to tell us, they are inevitable, so why resist? Well, resisting is a fundamental function in American culture, and its time we do a lot more of it.

Finally Republican Law Makers are Standing up to Dummy DeWine: When leadership is cowering in fear, the destruction is much, much worse

Watching Governor DeWine’s terrible handling of the Ohio Covid-19 situation, what the communist leaning World Health Organization calls a “pandemic” I am increasingly convinced that any and all politicians need to have some basic business experience before they can qualify to run for any office. The lack of managerial skill that DeWine has displayed as an executive has been mind blowingly terrible. It isn’t stunning that he and the Kentucky governor have been getting high polling from the same sources that are always showing President Trump running behind Joe Biden. The high pole numbers for DeWine and his health director the Obama loving, abortion advocate, Amy Acton are because they as politicians are doing what people who want to bring harm to America want them to do, shut down the economy, teach people to obey authority with draconian “orders” and expand the role of government in everyone’s lives. But dummy DeWine thinks he’s actually going to be popular after all this and he believes the media polls, he likes getting invited on CNN, and MSNBC to help them usher in the destruction of America—not bad for a simple kid from Yellow Springs, Ohio who married his first girlfriend and thinks an exciting day is eating her cookies. The power and showers of praise from the media on every draconian measure have made him drunk on the power he has and its time to rip that power back.

Its good to see that finally some GOP lawmakers are starting to stick up to DeWine, particularly Speaker Larry Housholder, Rep. Bill Seitz, Rep. Paul Zeltwanger, and Rep. Nino Vitale who are presently making moves to take back the runaway emergency powers that DeWine has been abusing and setting the stage for the politics that will come after Covid-19 is over. Of course President Trump’s own version of Wormtongue from the classic Lord of the Rings books—Dr. Fauci wants Covid-19 to re-emerge in the fall for a second wave, as does Amy Acton. The scam of flattening the curve was just another way of saying, make it last longer, because these idiots have a day of hell waiting for them when the full brunt of this reaction to the Covid-19 outbreak makes its casualties known. Three of my kids have personally been devastated by our state’s reaction to the virus, I have a daughter who is literally losing several hundred thousand dollars out of this year because of the ridiculous voodoo science of social distancing. Her business will have to be rebuilt again which will take years of recovery. She is so mad at DeWine that she’d probably be in a lot of trouble if she met him face to face. Just the name of DeWine sends her into a rage. Another one of my daughters is an artist and she had planned to sell much of her work at the various shows that go on at convention centers in the Tri-state area and those plans were wrecked costing her many tens of thousands of dollars in opportunity cost. No government is giving out checks for opportunity cost, but its as real as anything else. Then of course I have a son-in-law, a hard working one who is out of work with no projection of a recovery. Those are just three lives impacted who are close to me.

Further, I have seen five people on my street have their cars repossessed over the last two weeks. Several other neighbors have moved into formal divorce, they have had too much time together. The misery index caused by our government’s reaction to Covid-19 has been horrible and the costs are just now becoming known, like a category 5 tornado that touches down in a town overnight. People know it hit, but its only when the sun comes up that people see how much destruction actually took place. The Ohio economy has been leveled and DeWine seems completely oblivious to it. To make matters worse he knew he picked a liberal Obama supporter in Amy Acton as his health director and he has consciously placed all our futures in her hands which was the most irresponsible thing he could have done. If Ohio picks a Republican governor, they don’t expect the economy to be run by a major liberal Democrat. Its not that Amy Acton was pretending to be something she wasn’t, although I’m sure she said what she needed to so she could get the job. Ultimately, as DeWine says, “the buck stops with him.” Well, yes it does and that’s why the other branches of congress need to take away DeWine’s power and start proceedings to replace him with a real Republican.

Listening to Jon Husted has been painful, the Lt. Governor. He’s supposed to be the business guy who gets it, yet he wouldn’t make it five minutes an the kind of business meetings I’m used to. He sounds like a child when it comes to the economy and what makes business work. I don’t know who he has been talking to which have been giving him all these unanimous votes on new normal policies such as wearing masks in businesses for all employees, but they were all smoking crack and telling him what they thought he wanted to hear just to reopen. Its obvious that those people are disconnected from their own businesses which Jon should see if he’s so smart, yet what has ended up happening is that we have a re-opening by committee in Ohio that only government could think was productive. Some of the things they have been saying are literally some of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard. It’s a shame it has taken Householder and Seitz so long to get their guts going, but I guess its better late than never. Now that people in Ohio know that the Covid-19 virus was a scam in the way it was sold to the public as the next death of civilization, they want their money back, and their lives and somebody is going to have to deliver. It’s a shame that its an election year and the Republican party would like to unite behind Trump and DeWine, but both have global activists in their administrations and people are going to hold them responsible for that, and its not going to be pretty. Trump has Fauci and DeWine has Acton.

DeWine’s biggest failure was in the lack of leadership during the whole Covid-19 outbreak. Sure the media loves him because he led Ohio over a cliff, which is what they wanted—fear ruling over logic. But it was DeWine who just took everything Trump did and go several steps further by letting Amy Acton guide the administration policy. For a comparison, sure its safer to go get your mail out of the mailbox of your house dressed in a helmet and knee pads, but is it practical. Just going safer isn’t leading—its yielding, and that is what DeWine did. He played things safe to save his own ass, and in so doing he ruined the lives of everyone who should have been following him. These politicians keep calling themselves leaders, but all I have seen from them is followers, governors following World Health Organization directives which the CDC adopted, and legislators following those governors with no checks on power by allowing emergency powers to continue infinitely as their minds were captured by fear. Maybe now that people see the hoax of the numbers regarding coronavirus they’ll start showing some leadership. But the lack of it up to this point has destroyed so many lives because they trusted politicians to make the right choices, and as we can all see, the people of Ohio were let down by Republicans who sat on their hands and chose not to do the right thing when it mattered most.

The Start of World War III: Sovereigns against the globalists and Covid-19 was the attack

There was something very troublesome about George W. Bush’s statements over the weekend encouraging solidarity between our political parties in America which reflected back to the “we’re all in it together” campaign. It fit too nicely into the effort of the coronavirus from the beginning to justify all the measures enacted with the stay at home strategies, the social distancing and general wrecking of the economy around the world because we did some really stupid things to deal with a viral outbreak, which has been going on for hundreds of thousands of years. For some reason in 2020 we decided to do something different, and extremely costly. I know President Bush in 2005 initiated this whole social distancing strategy under his administration as a way to deal with bioterrorism, so the idea had been on the table for a while, and while it was war gamed the participants found it devastating economically and socially. Yet here it is, but this time the entire world is doing it at the same time over a virus nobody knew much about and with very little science to even suggest that it might help. Yet we wrecked our economies by sticking with lots of major unknowns and now that people see that they have been scammed and are angry about it, here is George Bush saying what many pundits have been saying, including Fox New’s Sean Hannity, that we should all put our differences aside for a greater good and pull together in this crises. Well, welcome to World War III. It’s here upon us, the costs of this war will eclipse all previous wars and the path to victory is much less obvious. That is because the participants are not out in the open and fighting for land, they are fighting over ideas.

This fight is over the global citizen movement and the sovereign nation. The intent of the perpetrators which there are many in our own government and media, are to break down the borders of nations into one complete whole and the intent of the coronavirus from the beginning was to unite the world under a common enemy, the Covid-19 virus. The folly to their plan was that the virus ended up not being deadly enough and people in America only put up with the stay at home orders for a few weeks. They needed much longer to completely change behavior and the globalists didn’t get the time they needed. The media doesn’t have the kind of control over people that they had hoped, and President Trump handled the situation better than they had planned. Its hard for most people to see because nobody is trained for this kind of war, nothing in our history has prepared us for this, except for maybe the game of chess. The type of weapon used in this conflict was not guns and troops, but probably the deadliest weapon of all, fear. But not enough people were afraid of a stupid virus, so the intended strategy fell apart in America and is currently erupting into massive protests against panicked politicians who became worthless dictators overnight and threats to the American Constitution through internal social structure collapse.

I know this all sounds very “conspiratorial” and that many think of the controversial maniac Alex Jones when they hear the name “globalists” uttered in public, but like most things people usually get part of the picture, enough to ask the hard questions. But it cannot be ignored that while all this has been going on the details of the General Flynn case were revealed and we have proof that the top level offices of the FBI participated in a coup attempt of our newly elected President Trump, because he was committed to returning America to a sovereign nation and to move away from globalism. The plans for a one world government under communism go way back to even before the Cold War to the intentions of the United Nations creation and both world wars prior, so its nothing new. The only thing that changed was the way we see enemies, because they are among all nations. Its not like Americans can just throw out an American flag on their porch and unite with their friends and neighbors to fight a common enemy. This enemy likely is their friend and neighbor. It’s the fat ass school levy supporter down the street and the mad mom angry at drunk drivers ultimately looking for more safety and security from the state which is a logical complaint that paralyzes the need for freedom in its tracks for lack of defenders or an answer to the contrary. Of course, nobody wants people to die, so we accept new laws that limit our freedom and start a chain reaction that culminates into our coronavirus protocols, which enemies of America had all the data on to implement against us.

Even today some of the smartest minds out there have no idea why we are doing social distancing and stay at home orders—what government came up with the strategy? The answer is that this time it started out of the Marxist based World Health Organization and from there the world followed their lead to their own destructions. The Covid-19 virus was supposed to unite the world from a common enemy, a virus and what came after was a new world order led by the United Nations once Trump lost the election because his great economy collapsed. History will find the evidence that the World Health Organization worked with China to initiate this attack and start World War III just as domestic enemies like the FBI sought to overthrow the Trump administration with rules they controlled and court systems still loyal to former President Obama—one of the key globalists in the process of setting up the attack over many years. None of this is that far fetched once you accept that America’s own FBI was working as an enemy to our own Constitution and has been committed to these global citizen objectives.

So to answer President Bush and all those others out there who look at this situation and are calling for calm, for peace—to find the things that bring us together for a peaceful society—the answer is that they are idiots. They either don’t understand this new world of ideology that is crashing together in 2020 or they are actual Trojan Horses and declared domestic enemies that must be dealt with. They would be domestic enemies if they are seeking to change our American Constitution from the founding of a sovereign country into wrecking our borders and economy to start everyone as equal under a new ruler in the United Nations. That is the real fight and the real objective of those advocating global citizenship. The health directors for most of the United States have used the Covid-19 virus as a platform for their own progressive views, Ohio’s Amy Acton said it herself. The rules of social distancing and wearing masks in public were not to save lives, but were to instill change slowly so that people would give up their previous values and accept a “new normal” created by the United Nations in the wake. And that is how World War III started. What remains to be answered is who will win, the globalists, or the sovereigns because this fight is just getting started in the light of day. Remember, the weapons are not guns this time, but fear itself.

The Legal Problem with Ohio Abortion Radical Amy Acton’s Face Masks: It’s about activism, not action

So here’s the problem with Amy Acton’s face mask policy in Ohio, and in general the whole CDC recommendation from a position that has major legal problems. Aside from there being no science which states that a face mask will actually slow the spread of a virus from person to person as either a recipient, or provocateur, as Amy Acton stated in her 4.29.20 2 PM statement that Governor DeWine lets her pontificate her hippie chick view of the world daily, the purpose of the policy which has never seen the light of day of a legislature is purely rooted in sentiment, not fact. As stated by Acton herself, the purpose of the masks are to protect other people from you, not you from them and she arrived at this conclusion through her “world travels” and is essentially copying communist cultures and other Asian societies in their policy on masks. In essence, and she also said this in that same press conference shown below, the masks are about change agency culture here in the United States. It has nothing to do with coronavirus or anything else regarding the medical industry, but is everything about changing culture in America from one where people are concerned about their individual needs and shifting the focus to collective association. It is a preparation of thought evoked by our government paid health officials in the CDC to sell the American public on Chinese communism, which ironically is where this Covid-19 virus originated. On that grounds alone, there are many problems constitutionally, as I would offer that they have designated themselves domestic enemies as defined by the oath we all take to protect the legal documents and procedures of our constitution, state and federal. And the only reason they are getting away with it now is because we have a modern society that doesn’t read nearly as much as they should and they were all too trusting. That is why people like Amy Acton are taking advantage of so many people’s stupidity, including our elected officials like Jon Husted and Mike DeWine. We’ll get to them in a minute.

The legal problem with Amy Acton’s face mask policy is this, and I say its her policy because its obvious that Mike DeWine has surrendered thought and logic over to her, by wearing the mask it is an admission to the world that you recognize that you are a menace to others as defined not so much by the CDC, but these radical health department global citizens like Amy Acton specifically. As we said, there is no science to the face masks, just as there is no science to the social distancing or the shelter in place policies that have been destroying our economy. These global citizen types are everywhere these days, trained in our schools to put the world first instead of America. A country is just a series of ideas, the concept of a border that protects some ideas from other ideas is something that the global citizen movement has a real problem with because it takes away their goal of getting all people in all corners of the world to essentially think the same thing. But as we know, some ideas work better than others, and I don’t know about you dear reader, but I like the ideas in our Constitution and am willing to fight to keep it whole. I am not going to surrender it to Bill Gates, another global citizen type, or Amy Acton. I’ve traveled the world as they have and I’ve read many of the same books so I know their thoughts. Likely, I’ve read a lot more books then most of them combined, so I feel quite confident in understanding their position on this matter and in sounding the alarm as to their true intentions. This isn’t a conspiracy theory about face masks, its stated in their own words and actions. They just count on people being too gullible to see what they are up to.

By following Amy Acton’s “orders” about all employees in Ohio for instance to wear face coverings at their jobs every human being under the force of an unconstitutional directive by an unelected bureaucrat is admitting that they are a danger to others. Once a mind accepts such a proposal then the way to more extreme considerations is paved and things get very bad from there. Once you start living to the whims of other people’s fears, then you open the door to all types of problems that will eventually only be sorted out by a massive central government, such as the communist one in China, or Vietnam. A person may be scared of toxic masculinity for instance so that might provoke that a scary person not dress in clothing that looks overly masculine. Or a person may be afraid of blond hair making all people with blond hair to cut it off or change the color to something socially acceptable. Once you allow other people to determine individual behavior the door is open to anything so that makes this whole mask wearing policy a major danger to the American way of life, which of course is the goal of Amy “Activist.”

Tired old men like Mike DeWine are not up to this level of deceit. I would expect more out of Jon Husted who is talking out of both sides of his mouth, but is clearly playing along with Amy Acton’s activism for reasons that are obviously beyond his understanding. He thinks he can walk the tight rope between health directives and constitutional law, but what he’s finding is that the rope was cut before he ever started walking across it. These actions were well in place and openly challenge the premise of American sovereignty in favor of the global citizen movement, and that kind of thinking has not been part of their concern. They see and hear Amy Acton and think of a nice lady who seems genuinely concerned about the lives and welfare of all people. But so does communist propaganda coming out of China.

Now that it’s obvious to these global types, the world citizen movement, that the American economy is going to open in spite of their efforts. President Trump must get the economy back for his own election needs and he’s been suckered enough by his own versions of Amy Acton at the federal level. So there is a bit of panic from the global citizen movement to invoke whatever change agency they can as fast as they can which is what this face mask policy is all about. They are hoping that people will adopt the policy and that it might stick in America as it currently does in Asian cultures so that the door might be opened in our minds to think more like communists and not like individually based capitalists. And that process starts by them tricking us into taking the responsibilities for other people’s feelings and then building a brave new world around the orgy porgy of a massive central government. Yeah, go read that book and you’ll see what kind of world Amy Acton wants for America, (Brave New World) It’s the same world that Dr. Fauci wants, Bill Gates and his loony wife Malinda, Dr. Birx, the communist revolutionary running the World Health Organization—they are all in on this attack by sentiment of America and they are all thinking the same way as they were all trained in the same socialist places. The path to such communist societies starts by destroying the laws of a sovereign nation which is what all these Covid-19 directives were designed to implement, and then shifting the burden away from individual rights to collective ones. It’s in that subtle shift that so much evil has been done in the world, and clearly that is what is happening in Ohio under the lack of intellectual defense of our elected representatives who are petrified to have a thought about the matter for fear of the scrutiny that will follow them the rest of their lives. Wearing a face mask in public is an admission that you are a danger to the world, and once you provide that confession, they have you on the record for what comes next.

The Event 201: They had it planned all along, and we have a right/obligation to fight them

It should make you very angry that The Event 201 that was held on Friday October 18, 2019 in the Pierre Hotel in New York, which is discussed in detail below in a Glenn Beck video on the topic, because it ended up being the playbook for how the Covid-19 pandemic was played out and utilized to advance Agenda 21 priorities for the United Nations across the world. This little “war game” has had a negative impact on all our lives. Originally, when the Covid-19 virus broke out of China and the media so quickly jumped on it to advance their strategy, I surmised that the whole response to the virus had been hatched at the Devos Economic Summit in January of 2020 by the rich and famous for the same goals as The Event 201 crowd. Likely however it was a natural evolution of thought, some attending that conference in New York didn’t want to wait for things to play out over the coming decade and wanted to apply the strategy to Trump’s election year politics so they might unseat him, or control him in the critical months leading up to the election, so they picked the Covid-19 virus to apply to the scenario spelled out at The Event 201 and went all in, and much to their surprise, it worked far better than any of them could anticipate. Its certainly not a coincidence that what we have seen play out over Covid-19 is almost a page for page duplication of the war game scenario from The Event 201. Watch Beck’s coverage on this for more information.

The big variable that nobody really war gamed correctly though is the American reaction to it. Sure, people obligingly obeyed the stay at home orders and destroyed their economy to save lives because Americans are good people who trusted what the authorities were telling them. Trump himself got suckered into the whole thing because many of the players at The Event 201 were telling him that millions of people were going to die, so he had to do something. Thankfully in hindsight, we can say that everything was overplayed, but in real time, there was no way to know. Well, actually, I knew from moment #1. I never thought Covid-19 was legitimate and was anything but an attack on American sovereignty. I have the benefit of living in the Overman cave where my perspective of the world is all knowing and certainly above the fray. So, I can afford to have such dangerous thoughts, and as it turned out, I was more right than I wanted to be.

To make matters worse, we know now that the whole response to the Covid-19 virus was a complete hoax meant to fulfill the simulation conducted at The Event 201, and we know that because any solutions beyond social distancing, stay at home orders and a destruction of the global economy to “save lives,” was pursued even knowing that there were solutions that were off script that presented options, like the use of hydroxycholoroquine, and Far UVC light to quickly disinfect any virus pandemic and its spread. Those solutions that President Trump brought up were vastly ignored, or ridiculed because they did not drive society toward the kind of objectives that were desired by The Event 201 exercise, which was the fulfilment of the Agenda 21 objectives and driving the entire world toward a one world government management of such events in the future. But as we have said, there was something they didn’t count on and as academics, they always tend to make the same mistakes.

Its not that I advocate violence, I’m a law and order kind of guy, and as everyone who reads what I say often know, I see gun ownership as the ultimate protection from outside forces from destroying the American Constitution. And if there is one thing that was very obvious as a result of the Covid-19 government reaction to the viral outbreak, its that changing our laws in America was very much part of the plan—laws that were created through stress and emergency powers to act as a change state for future legislature. The minds at The Event 201 and the World Economic Summit—along with most United Nations meetings and conferences with the World Health Organization which are clearly attracted to social Marxism want to destroy the American Constitution by using our own legal system to do it, our police, our governors, our own political system so that means we must stand up for ourselves and that has been the variable that they did not account for. I was a little surprised that it took so long, but most people are willing to give “authorities” the benefit of the doubt, myself included. I feel fortunate to live in a part of the world where we have a fantastic Sheriff who “gets it,” and never turned into an authoritarian hack, even though Governor DeWine gave him a license to do so. But many police departments and liberal mayors and governors across the nation went too far and showed us all precisely why we must have a very strong Second Amendment well into the future. Domestic enemies and foreign terrorists against our way of life of capitalism are hard at work to destroy us. So, we must defend ourselves. And the protests that are erupting all over the United States are actually critical to that process.

We must fight, hopefully not violently, but we have to stick up for ourselves and remind our politicians that they work for us. It is the American people who decide how many cops we have, how many military troops, how many politicians and what they should be paid. We are not powerless in the process; we are the process. So in times like these we must use the First Amendment—which I use often. And we must be ready to use the Second Amendment if our authority figures abuse their power that we gave them and turn that power on us. It may come to blows, and we must be ready. I am hopeful that Trump can get his arms around all this. After all, in an election year he has all the ammunition he needs to sink the Deep State, so maybe we won’t have to use our own force to retake our country from the villainous creatures that are behind the Covid-19 scam. We have proof the FBI set up General Flynn, that they were actively trying to have a coup of our president, that John McCain was behind it all along—we know that Biden is sinking in corruption and sex scandals—there is plenty for Trump to pounce off of. But we still must remain vigilant and let Trump know what its going to take to keep our support. We don’t want to get along with our enemies. We want to destroy them and get them away from our Constitution. We are not obligated to play nice with people who torpedoed our lives and ruined our jobs. We have every right to retaliate, and that’s what we need to do with these continued protests. Its that or physical violence, and I think the politicians involved would prefer the signs and crowds. To Hell with the social distancing. If they really wanted to solve the virus problem, they’d be using UVC light to combat the spread of the virus. All they want with social distancing is to keep people from exercising their right to assemble. And that’s the straw that has broken the back of The Event 201 strategy. As Americans, we must let the world know that the buck does stop with us, and that they don’t rule over us, and they never, ever will.

Why Aren’t We Using Far UVC Light to Kill Covid-19: Its all about the Rod of Aesculapius

Ahhhhhhh, I would have thought that before we moved to the lockdown measures and wrecked our economy with trillions of dollars of cost that the all knowing doctors on President Trump’s staff would have advised that we should be using this technology of Far UVC to kill the coronavirus in its tracks as far back as January. I mean, I know hindsight is 20/20 but this technology is not new. Hospitals use it all the time to disinfect their facilities, and it has been gaining momentum with mass transit companies to more thoroughly and more rapidly to clean seats and vehicles before turning them back over for another round of passengers. I would have thought that using Far UVC light to kill the Covid-19 virus while the thing was still being leaked out of China to pillage the world would have been the very first measure to take to combat it. So let’s put it this way, I was more than a little pissed off when President Trump brought the issue up during the Thursday press conference and Dr. Scarf Lady acted surprised, as if it were the first time anybody had discussed it. That’s when it was obvious to me that Trump knew of the technology and was continuing to look for solutions and he brought it up when he did to put the doctors on his staff on the mic in front of everyone, because if he didn’t do it that way, his ideas would have simply been discarded as the press had with hydroxycholoriquine. Trump as the CEO was doing what he was supposed to do, bring up ideas, but in so doing, he revealed the deeper layer to what has been going on which should severely make you and everyone else extremely angry. Here’s why, and please do refer to the videos on this article for a deeper understanding.

The solution to any pandemic obviously by the science of our times is coming not out of medicine, but from physics, which is where the research and development emerged to use a third kind of UV light to kill viruses in a mass disinfection type of way without destroying the body tissue of people in general due to exposure. More aggressive UV light, such as those that come from the sun of course can cause cancer and cataracts if people are exposed to them for too long. The Far UVC light is a weaker version of the light that typically does not penetrate the earth’s atmosphere so viruses in our biological cultures have not developed a defense to it, and are easily killed when exposed. I didn’t think much of the rivalry between physics and the medical industry in regard to using UVC light to fight Covid-19 until the extreme backlash against President Trump was unleashed at that press conference because if the plan had been truly to fight the virus, the media, the doctors and the politicians would have been happy to have another option. But as I have been saying, and the proof was in the medical community’s reaction to the science, that the virus was always meant to be used as a vehicle for a “big pharma” solution such as Bill Gates’ vaccine and the Google tracking system meant to get chemicals in all of us so that the entire human population could be regulated and monitored in the way that doctors have wanted for years. This crises was made up, because the real solutions were coming from other sciences, but as solutions to the pandemic were suggested, the old Rod of Aesculapius refused to listen.

I have never trusted doctors, when I see the Rod of Aesculapius I think of stupidity and corruption. The symbol of the medical industry is based on the Greek mythology from around 300 BC of a cult that formed at that time to create healing temples where it was believed that the God and son of Apollo himself, Aesculapius was the father of modern medicine. Well, Aesculapius had a thing for snakes and was very skilled in the use of drugs and surgery and had developed a reputation for raising the dead. Zeus was so concerned that Aesculapius might make mankind immortal that he killed the father of medicine with a lightening bolt. When people discovered the body in the temple they also found dead serpents inside. When those creatures were picked up to be examined, they slithered away when dropped and so it was thought through the cult that followed that there were healing powers involved and that’s how the snakes ended up being the symbol of medicine. But over time, its not Aesculapius that was the aim of the industry, it was that of Zeus, to keep immortality from emerging from the cult of medicine, but to slowly kill mankind and send them back to the house of Zeus, never to emerge independent of the very jealous Greek god. Even to this day as we think of doctors as some of our highest orders of intelligence, because of the massive amount of schooling that is involved, their goal is not to make us better, but to keep us under control to the forces of nature as the “gods” designed them many centuries ago. So I don’t trust doctors, I never have, because their very foundations are corrupt and wrong.

When critics of President Trump say he should trust what scientists tell him, well, this whole Rod of Aesculapius story is precisely why nobody should trust them. Doctors should always be questioned because they look first toward pharmaceutical options as opposed to true science that overcomes even death to solve problems for mankind. Our medical industry isn’t really looking for solutions, but to stay within the parameters of Zeus, so that we too won’t be struck down early in life for clamoring too close to immortality. But if you speak to someone from the other sciences, such as physicists, they will talk about immortality and evolving sciences with an emphasis on growth for the human species. All the sciences do not have the same goal. As I’ve said many times the medical industry wants to carry a life from birth to death in a predictable way that falls under the care specifically of the Rod of Aesculapius, but not from Aesculapius himself, but from his murderer, Zeus. That is why Dr. Fauci and Dr. Birx have been avoiding any talk about using Far UVC light to solve the Covid-19 problem. It should have been the first thing we did instead of all this social distancing nonsense and stay at home orders to stop the spread of the virus. It was always from the beginning about controlling people, not helping them. Trump has obviously figured it out, but he’s now on the hook for trillions of dollars and millions of wrecked lives because he listened to the medical professionals. He wants out of the problem, where the doctors want the problem to persist because it gives them power over life, much the way the serpents slither around the symbol of their industry. Dr. Brix’s reaction to a solution from physics was obvious, she was not comfortable with it at all, and that said everything. If she’s so smart about medicine, how could she not have heard about Far UVC light?

In truth, we should have Far UVC lights everywhere that there are mass gatherings of people, such as in our businesses, amusement parks, sporting events, everywhere. Getting more Far UVC lights into our public places should be part of reopening our states so that we never have to go through this mess again. But the panic over Covid-19 was never a problem the doctors wanted to control. They instead wanted to use it to change behavior around the world and they abused the trust that people have in their industry on purpose. They didn’t want to kill the Covid-19 virus and save people from death. They simply want testing to jack up the cases so more people would be afraid of a death that might come, and push people into their homes and off the streets for far left political strategies such as collapsing the price of oil, saving the earth from pollution by getting the cars off the roads, and implementing every kind of Agenda 21 fantasy that the World Health Organization could slide under the door. Far UVC light could kill this Covid-19 virus and anything else that comes along, but the scientists of the medical industry didn’t want that. Instead, like their god Zeus, they worry that mankind is getting too far away from nature, so they sought to kill us all by sending a lightening bolt into our global economy. And of course dear reader, you know the rest of the story. It was only the snakes that slithered away, and those snakes are in our media, in our doctor’s offices, and in our politics. And now you know the significance of that and why you can’t trust a thing they say.

George Lang Proposes a 20% Cut in Politician Pay Until Economy Returns: Why should government be paid for a bad job, until they fix it?

Just as a reminder, make sure to get your vote in by April 27 to be counted for the Ohio primary, and if you are voting in the 4th Senate District, make sure to vote for George Lang. The contents of this article will easily explain why he should be the best, and only pick for the upcoming election on November 3rd. In thinking about that election George would like to remind everyone, especially in the wake of the government’s reaction to Covid-19 that Governor DeWine offered to formally endorse George for his new senate seat as Lang makes the transition from the House to the Senate once he wins. But George told him thanks, but no thanks. “Your endorsement won’t help me in Butler County.” That was before the many tragic government mistakes that were made before Covid-19 became all any of us could think about, due to its ruinous nature of our state and federal economy and global sources as an intrusion.

George recently offered some much needed leadership now that Governor DeWine sees the writing on the wall, that Covid-19 is coming to an end, whether he wants it to or not, and that George as a representative in congress offered some advice to get Ohio back open for business and how to get our economy moving again. I thought the letter was fantastic and I share it with all who would like to read it below. There are three main points to this letter that should tell any voter why they should vote for George Lang. Many of his rivals in this primary election have pointed to George as too much of a political insider, and something of a silhouette of the Republican Party. Well, as I say, I have known George for a very long time and I wouldn’t waste my time being friends or even knowing someone as long as I have with George if he wasn’t the real deal and a genuinely good person. And as is obvious by this letter to the Governor over a post Covid-19 life in Ohio, George is far from some insidious, complacent insider. Rather he makes three points that were rather powerful and would be very helpful if only the rest of the House, Senate, and the Governor himself had the courage to implement them. First is that all the politicians involved in restoring the Ohio economy should take a 20% cut in pay. The 2nd thing is that Ohio should enact some very creative tax laws to help rebuild confidence in businesses to invest their time and money back into their previous endeavors because government has eroded that confidence due to the overly nanny state infusion they enacted out of panic to the coronavirus. And third Ohio should enact a Constitutional amendment that gives state legislators veto power over any governor’s executive order with a super majority vote by both houses as a safety net if under future emergencies, a governor like DeWine, meaning well, but has lost their mind over the pressure, can’t destroy our state with a massive lack of leadership. We have a House and Senate for a reason and in the future, we should use them to help governors not make the kind of mistakes that DeWine did over Covid-19. Here are the contents of the letter in a few different forms to make it easier to consume its contents.

Governor DeWine,

This requests you open all Ohio businesses on May 1st and offers ideas for how to do it.

I am reaching out to you to express my deep concern about the continued closure of so called “non-essential” businesses in Ohio.

BACKGROUND
It has become clear to me that despite the nature of COVID-19 and its seriousness – we cannot allow the cost to be more expensive than the cure. While I applaud your effort to save lives, our economy is now suffering greatly. Thousands of small businesses simply will not survive this assault. As small businesses fail, this will lead to a significant decrease in tax collections and have a negative impact on all levels of government.

Our citizens have expressed frustrations as liberties were taken from them without a vote, destroying lives and livelihoods. It is already too late for some companies to recover; it will now take years for other companies to recover from the damage done by the wholesale shutdown of our state. These actions do not bode well for the confidence in our medical experts and elected officials.

We can no longer justify the continued closure of businesses across this state when supermarkets, Liquor Stores, hardware stores and other businesses that draw people can be open. For every day that passes, businesses will die reducing jobs, income, tax dollars and our states ability to fund many things, including infrastructure that need to be done. It is important that leaders throughout our state develop a plan to assist our businesses to help them return to high productivity and profitability for our region. Furthermore, we should be prepared to weather the next crisis, whether it be financial in nature, natural disaster, or attack.

We need to provide businesses with a road map. Now, more than ever, Ohio employers need a sense of predictability. As much as possible, impacted industries need a mapped-out process of what their re-entry into more normal operations will look like and how long it will take. Time is of the essence because many business owners are barely hanging on – we need to give them as much clarity as we can about what is coming soon.
RECOMMENDATIONS
We should allow businesses to reopen with as few restrictions as possible – businesses know best how to protect their employees, customers, and vendors. If we do put any restrictions on, the state should offer a dollar for dollar tax credit so the business can accommodate state requirements (no unfunded mandates).

In the spirit of “We are all in this together” – All state legislators, the Governor and Lt. Governor should take a 20% pay cut until Ohio GDP returns to pre COVID-19 levels. Several legislator’s have already recommended this.

State budget cuts made during the pandemic will remain in place until Ohio GDP exceeds 10% of pre COVID-19 standards.

We have already adopted that Unemployment Claims during the COVID-19 pandemic will not count against an employer’s experience. Thank you. Two more unemployment issues to be adopted:

If an individual is on and receiving unemployment benefits because of the COVID-19, as soon as their former job is available, their COVID-19 will end.

No employee can be terminated for refusing to come back to work until they feel it is safe – If they choose not to return to work following the full opening of their businesses work sector – they will not be paid (unless an employer chooses to pay them), and they will become ineligible to receive continued unemployment compensation. Further, the employer at his/her discretion, can eliminate or replace any position within 12 months of the business sector being opened by the Governor, without the business bearing any unemployment impact by those choosing not to return to their job.

All state license and renewal fees should be prorated to account for the days the business/individual was not able to work.

If a business is collecting an escrow account on behalf of a borrower, they are not required to pay the bills associated with the account if the borrower is behind on paying – example, a mortgage lender will not be liable for paying income tax or insurance on a residential loan if the funds are not in the account.

Commercial Activity Tax (CAT): The upcoming May 11th filing and payment deadline should be extended. In addition, CAT liability should be based off an estimate of this year’s gross receipts instead of the prior year’s gross receipts as is current practice. Numerous businesses are currently not operating so to gather the information to file and pay the taxes is also going to be difficult, not to mention the strain on cash flow. We can have a “true up” at the end of 2021.
Net operating losses (NOLs): Ohio should model what the federal government enacted under the CARES Act. For losses arising in tax years 2018, 2019 and 2020, a five-year carryback is allowed (taxpayers can elect to forgo the carryback). This law also applies to pass-through businesses and sole proprietorships. Consideration should also be given to making similar changes at the municipal level.
Other Regulatory relief suggestions:
• Extension of additional state reporting deadlines.

• Declare a moratorium on state tax audits currently underway for a reasonable period, and halt additional audits.

• Consider some way to prevent or provide relief from the lawsuits that almost certainly will be coming after the pandemic is over, such as work stoppage due to inability to meet social distancing mandates.

• Consider a meaningful sales tax holiday period for industries that were particularly hard hit due to forced closures, such as the entertainment and restaurant industries, to entice Ohioans to support those entities.

Sales Tax
Give all retailers that were forced to close because of the pandemic a 30-day sales tax holiday. Allow them to keep the tax money for 30 days. Could be a full month. For instance, if we can open on May 15, allow the tax holiday to be the full month of June.

We should offer a sales tax holiday for all PPE equipment purchased by businesses, combined with a 100% tax credit for the purchasers.

We should encourage local governments to offer a property tax reduction commensurate with the number of days non-essential business were shut down.

We should push for a Constitutional amendment giving the state legislators veto power over any Governor executive order with a super majority vote in both houses.

It’s one thing to complain about a situation, it’s quite another to put your name next to your mouth and make it part of the debate record and these suggestions by George Lang let the larger world see what kind of guy he really is. Why shouldn’t the politicians involved in the economic recovery of the state of Ohio, or of the federal nation take a pay cut until everyone is back to work and the world is functioning from pre-covid impacts? They should feel the sting of financial impact more than everyone else, they should not be insulated as they have from the realities of their bad decisions, and still have a full bank account. It takes a lot of guts to make a statement like that yet George has. There should be hundreds of names signing this letter to the Governor, yet as is obvious, there are only 4. Politicians like to complain and posture themselves, but few are like George Lang and really mean things when they say them. And even fewer are willing to lead. They want the title of a leader, but they don’t want the responsibility. Obviously, George has no problem with leadership, even when he’s in the minority opinion.

As a reminder for this primary vote, it’s happening by mail because Mike DeWine screwed it up with a bad decision to overrule a judge just hours before the primary election was to be held back in March. First you must request a ballot from the board of elections, then you fill out the information and send it in. They then mail you the actual ballot. You fill it out with colored circles then put that inside an envelope that goes into another envelope that you then must get back to the board of elections by April 27th. So, if you haven’t taken all those steps yet, you likely won’t make the window. But you should still try, or if you are stuck in the middle of the “pain in the ass” mode of actually filling out the mail-in ballot, you should plow through it and complete the process. Voting for George Lang is important. We need a guy like him out there fighting some of this mindless stupidity on our behalf. So make sure to vote. And also, share this with a friend so they can also make a good election decision. Government has not yet taken away our right to vote, although Governor DeWine has come pretty damn close. We certainly don’t want to see this trend continue, so vote to ensure that they don’t take it from us. Let them know who’s really in charge, and certainly don’t surrender your rights and liberty to a bunch of panicky politicians. Vote for good guys like George Lang to go fight them on your behalf so we can all do the work of rebuilding the world with government out of our way, not sticking their fat asses right in the middle of our business as they have with Covid-19.
