The Rigged Game of the Neocon: There is no foreign policy if we don’t deal with the World Economic Forum

There is no foreign policy in America that doesn’t deal with the problem of the World Economic Forum and its terrorism worldwide as a government that doesn’t see itself as a government.  Anything that doesn’t deal with the critical problem isn’t serious about foreign policy. This ridiculous idea that America is the beacon of freedom for countries worldwide is a stupid premise by stupid people to serve their purposes ultimately.  America doesn’t need to be involved in a bunch of foreign wars, when it can’t take care of itself, which is the state of our present condition.  This has been coming up a lot lately, especially since Trump has had an America First foreign policy, which Vivek Ramaswamy has adopted in his campaign.  As opposed to Nikki Haley who wants to be involved everywhere, wherever trouble is started, anywhere in the world.  The classic idea is that America is the parent of the world and has to settle matters wherever there is trouble, and those settlements involve tanks and troops, by whatever means necessary.  We are much brighter now than we were in the past, we have grown a lot as a country after a lot of disappointments.  Globalism has not been a wise strategy, and America has been used like a cheap whore by the world for all kinds of nefarious reasons.  But we are not that pre-World War II America who runs around the world like Captain America solving problems that everyone else started, and that is the general belief of the typical neocon, as the term has incorrectly been used for several decades now.  The conservatives believe that it is the task of Americans to be the world’s police officers, while moderates believe we shouldn’t be.  And that to prove your conservative nature, you must accept this premise of all wars everywhere by anybody. 

It would be hard for anybody to claim to be more conservative than me.  But I do not accept the definition of America’s role in foreign wars.  I see a trick that has occurred where our reports for things were given to us by the enemy, the real enemies out there who hide between sentences in history books and are never really discussed, as they should be.  And that is the type of people calling themselves globalists who set up this mess.  In the modern sense, the World Economic Forum has taken over the front for global communism, the preferred economic standard for all their efforts.  It is through banking and finance in general that the greatest threat to the world resides.  It’s not in some puppet tyrant by a small country somewhere yacking on about nuclear weapons, when the real goal is to attack capitalism by taking away the power that fuels it.  It’s all been a shell game, just as nuclear energy has been criticized because it reminds people of nuclear weapons.  The manipulations in our culture come from the real terrorists who have warped our definitions of things to serve their purposes.  Such as the “neocon” terminology.  You can’t be a “real conservative” if you don’t support every foreign war that the World Economic Forum starts around the world.  It’s no different than some stupid kid in grade school telling someone else that they aren’t cool if they don’t have the latest Nike brand of tennis shoes.  But the term itself is worthless and has nothing to do with conservative values because it requires a massive big government to have a global military and support any war efforts.  We have allowed other people, especially the media culture, to define what we are as Americans, and that has been destructive; it has directed our politics essentially down the road of big government centrally managed by ultimate globalists in the World Economic Forum. 

The real threat to the world, especially America, comes through finance, where Marxist-trained professionals have already corrupted everything beyond reason.  And it is the biggest issue on the ballot of 2024, this concept of whether Americans rule themselves or will be the latest victims of globalism.  It was all established years ago by the book Tragedy and Hope and was most obvious in the Rhodes scholarship programs.  Colleges have been oozing this material for years, and the ultimate result is that most people don’t understand the meaning of anything anymore.  Pick the neocon political route in life, like Nikki Haley and Lindsey Graham, and you must expand government and spend infinite amounts of money to meet every challenge wherever they are.  Avoid that path, and you must pay unlimited cash and expand government reach to build an administrative state to keep the Deep State happy and hidden behind layers and layers of red tape that nobody ever sees.  And how could you?  When you are so busy trying to get a building permit for a garage addition, who has time to see what a menace a deep state truly is that releases bioweapons into the public to control population growth, or that some ridiculous concept of “democracy” has been long destroyed with rigged elections that the public never had control of.  While we debate whether we should send money to Ukraine to serve the interests of globalism, we hide the nasty stuff in our own country with ridiculous discussions about “trans rights” during reading hours in public schools with kids.  And that the political left wants to make murder legal, drug abuse a lifestyle choice, and pedophilia a sexually protected right.

But who blows on all these troubles worldwide and is the root cause of so much misery? Well, the World Economic Forum and their friends in finance are the most modern menaces.  They cause all the trouble that requires a big government to fix it, so no matter what you’ve been calling yourself over the years, a conservative or a liberal, the political definitions were created by the enemies of America to achieve their ultimate goal, which is to spend us into oblivion so that we’d be easy to conquer by putting us in debt to those global forces and putting a lot of foreign money into our efforts to protect our global turf.  In doing all that, they gain control of our country and our present condition.  And no issue is more important in the 2024 election than who controls what.  Do Americans control their destiny, or have we so attached ourselves to globalism and, ultimately, the constructs of the World Economic Forum that we have no national sovereignty?  We are at a point in politics where we must redefine all these previous assumptions and recognize the game for what it has been all along and to do that, we must go back to reconstruction after the Civil War.  Everything that happened after has had this globalist problem attached to it, and therefore, our foreign policy assumptions about what that meant.  But our definitions given to us were not our own; the globalists themselves created them for the goals of globalists, and any policy about foreign affairs that we are to have as a country must be directed at the World Economic Forum and its tampering of trouble around the world that always point directly at their door.  If you want to go to war, go to war with them.  Not their puppets.  And then, and only then, we’ll see who the neocons are, and who the liberals are, because the definitions of both will have to be adjusted to reflect reality truly.

What to Know About the Ken Paxton Impeachment Trial: The old power of party politics wants to be in charge again, but it never will

What anybody needs to know about the Ken Paxton impeachment trial in Texas is that he’s a MAGA supporter who has been very influential.  At the outset of the 2020 election, as the Attorney General of Texas Paxton established one of the best cases for election fraud proof, which upset all those RINOs who wanted a clean break with Trump.  So, the old Bush power in Texas put a target on Paxton’s back right away.  And recently, Paxton was going after Google over privacy issues.  So, this trial in Texas, where the House has already impeached him from his position and now the Senate is going through the process of hearing the evidence cast against him, is an old game by the old forces who are clinging to their power from MAGA challenges to their established order.  It reminds me of a case in my county within the Republican Party, where legal warfare is regularly employed to destroy political rivals.  The core of the dispute is to resist the apparent changes that are part of the MAGA movement and the hope that if those challenges are destroyed, everything will snap back into the controls of the old days.  Where the Bush family was in charge, alliances with big companies like Google could occur under the radar, and election fraud could be conducted in the open, and nobody would question it.  It is interesting to watch, especially as RINO Republicans have attempted to shame Paxton with references to an affair he had that was well settled before any of these current issues emerged, which are being used to attack his character.  People see through it that it’s essentially the same type of case thrown at President Trump, and the results will be the same.

The Ken Paxton trial in Texas is an ongoing legal battle that has captured the attention of many across the United States. The problem centers around allegations of securities fraud against the Texas Attorney General, Ken Paxton. The case has been controversial, with many questioning the motives behind the investigation and subsequent charges. At the heart of the matter is the accusation that Ken Paxton committed securities fraud by encouraging investors to buy stock in a technology company without disclosing that he was receiving compensation for the recommendation. The case has been mired in legal battles and delays, with Paxton’s lawyers arguing that the charges should be dismissed due to a lack of evidence. As it is going, the case against Paxton has been weak at best, with the best parts of it involving going to the FBI with no evidence, just accusations. And if there were any merit to the case, the Biden DOJ would have picked it up because they want to take down Paxton for his election case against the federal handling of the 2020 election. But there was nothing there, leaving the entire issue to the flimsy holdovers of the Bush legacy control over Texas. So everything is coming out petty instead of having any good legal standing. As bad as it all is to attempt to impeach an attorney general by his party, over essentially, nothing but to get rid of a member of MAGA in the power politics of Texas, the attempt says far more than any of the evidence does that has been established against Paxton. We have uncovered a monster that we always knew was there but has emerged in the wake of Trump in the White House and the distinct fear that he will return, with people like Paxton gaining power.

I see these fights all over the country, and they are happening in just about every county.  As I have said about my county of Butler County, this is the number one issue challenging everyone.  Many supported Trump during his first term because he was in power then, but they held their nose and couldn’t wait for him to be removed from office, which they cheered for when they thought nobody was looking.  In the wake of one of the most massive crimes in world history, which was the stolen election of 2020, and the Covid release of a bioweapon against the public to allow for cheating to occur, no matter who was harmed in the process, you could see clearly where people were politically.  Many put on masks and surrendered everything to the health administrators, hoping that a superior power, more significant than Trump, would knock him out of office.  These are the same people who, just months before, would gut their mothers for a chance to get a VIP pass to a Trump event and stand next to him for a picture.  I watched all this action with curiosity.  And over the last three years, it has been obvious what they were up to all along: they wanted to go back to the regional powers, such as what the Bush family has over Texas.  And there is always some family like that all over the nation, and they were pleased to snap back into that control in the wake of Trump.  They wanted their power back, so anybody expressing Trump-like opinions now that Biden was in the White House were a target, and everyone expected Trump to be gone forever, in favor of some controlled asset like Ron DeSantis, they bet everything on that future.  And that isn’t what’s happening.

I tried to explain this to many people at our Lincoln Day dinner in Butler County, Ohio, after Ron DeSantis had just come and spoken to everyone.  Many were hoping that DeSantis was going to be the Trump killer.  I told them that Ron was going nowhere, which is precisely what has happened.  I found it surprising that nobody wanted to talk about Trump.  And those who did, and we saw this same kind of radicalism on the Lakota school board, where the former Trump supporters were quick to adjust to this new Biden world as if the former Republican president had never happened.  It was as if some great eraser would come along and put all the people who wanted power back in charge forever.  It was a bizarre exchange.  On that school board, the Lynda O’Conner’s of the world wanted to destroy the Darbi Boddys over essential political philosophy, establishment against MAGA.  And now there is panic in those groups because they have bet everything on the old forces destroying these new rivals.  All the political hits have not beaten their enemies; it has only made them stronger, just like what is happening with Trump.  And, of course, what is happening to Ken Paxton.  The frustration is that Paxton will emerge from this impeachment process with more political power, which is the case with all these traditional attacks.  The old games no longer work; people don’t like the kind of society that we have had with them in charge, such as the Bush family or the DeWine clan in Ohio.  People want better political parties to represent them, not those who make deals with Google to ruin our country, destroy our Constitution, and tell us that we’ll all be better after the compromises.  That them selling us out to foreign interests was to our advantage somehow.  But many have realized that the political parties, especially RINO Republicans, have not been good for us, and we want real change.  And we’re not going to accept sell-outs.  We’ve given them a chance in the past, and we are now forever against their further attempts.  And that they can get rid of Trump, Ken Paxton, or even regionally, Darbi Boddy or Roger Reynolds, and people will still be upset with the lackluster RINOs.  They will never regain their old power, and in the future, they will only be more and more resented.  That is the future of politics; we want more like Ken Paxton and fewer Jeb Bushes.  We want people who represent us, not some ruling-class aristocracy.  And those needs will only increase in the future; we will never go back to the old days that caused all these problems in the first place.

There is No Court Case Involving the 14th Amendment: Trump was the official government at the time, he couldn’t have an insurrection against himself

I’m happy to provide the ultimate reason that the 14th Amendment cannot be used against President Trump to keep him off the ballot for the 2024 election.  There has been a lot of legal opinion on this new strategy from the Marxist left because they’ve seen the internals and know that Trump is winning much more than what is being reported in the media.  That’s why they are panicking.  There was no alternative plan when the actual insurrection occurred in 2020, and Trump was removed from the White House by a government-sponsored coup.  And which one you might ask?  Pick one of the many, from the FBI actions of insurrection to the many provable occurrences of outright election fraud.  To the Russiagate manipulations.  There was plenty of very illegal activity that has yet to be prosecuted.  But they all are violations of the 14th Amendment that the political left and some RINOs from the right are trying to pin on Trump now to keep him from being able to run in 2024.  The real issue is that Trump was the established government at the time, so how could he have an insurrection against himself?  All Trump did was question the actions of an official insurrection that the opposing political party was coordinating.  And those types of coups were happening in other parts of the world where communism and socialism were trying to seize power.  So, out of desperation in America, and with the help of a complicit media that wanted Marxism in America, they tried the same thing.  Only it didn’t work quite the same way.  And this ultimately will result from all the cases established against Trump and his direct reports in the White House, such as Peter Navarro and Steve Bannon.  The assumption of all the charges filed as they have been assumes that Trump was the insurgent when it was the other way around. 

The desperation for turning to the 14th Amendment is quite telling, actually, and shows just how flimsy even the most astute legal minds have had to dig into attempting to give the Marxist radicals who want to continue to use the power of government for their global strategic plans, any leg to stand on.  My essential formula for solving most modern problems is straightforward: Guns, The Bible, The Constitution, and Trump.  Those four things will make America Great Again, again if used as intended.  And the desperation of using the Constitution to keep Trump from running in 2024 is ironic.  The people who are trying to overthrow all power in America are turning toward the rule of law as their weapon.  But that’s not what it says in the 14th Amendment Section 3.  The references to a political officeholder inspiring an insurrection have no place with Trump, as Trump was the government.  He was the one with his hands on the reigns of power.  The grand illusion being used against all Trump defendants is their attempt to ignore that Trump was ever in office and had government power under his complete control.  From January 2017 to January 2021, Trump was the third branch of government, the Executive Branch, popularly elected by the people of America, despite the many rigged elections that were clearly established to prevent him or anybody else from beating Hillary Clinton.  The actual insurrection was that the government forces who lost power when Trump was elected staged a coup which ultimately, with direct involvement from the intelligence community, tried to prevent the people’s will from being known.  They underestimated that enthusiasm the first time, in 2016.  And in 2020, they wouldn’t.

Under the cover of COVID-19, they changed the election laws that would allow them to cheat massively, and many tens of thousands of people were involved, knowingly.  And they openly plotted and schemed against the established government the entire time that Trump was in office.  They didn’t just say, “auh shucks, we’ll try next time.”  No, they worked to commit actual insurrection against Trump’s government to remove him from power the way we have seen occur worldwide with various communist takeovers, precisely the same way.  And with all of them, the assumption was that they would not recognize the Trump presidency as valid, nor any trace of executive privilege, because to do that, the Trump administration would have to be identified as the official government at the time.  And to pretend that it never happened.  That is the essential legal premise of all these cases against Trump.  And it can’t be that way because once you compromise for one point, all cases fall apart.  Which the communist insurgents who want to take over the American government might think is appealing until the same gets applied to them.  This is why the Constitution is such a powerful document.  What they say it says is not what it says.  They only hope that people are too stupid to read it for themselves, but to hold up in court, the case falls apart fast, which is good because it shows how weak all their attempts against Trump are going into 2024.  This is all they have everyone, a year away from the election, which isn’t good for them.  What is concerning is that so many people are letting them attempt such a thing, which means the hair in the drain of the swamp that Trump represents draining is much thicker and involves many more Republican RINOs than many of us are comfortable admitting. 

For all those legal people out there, you’re welcome.  I’m always happy to help.  The case’s merit is not whether Trump inspired an insurrection with his words to the public after the opposing government showed signs of a rigged election.  It was clear to many what happened, especially during that year with Covid driving the behavior and the still very uncomfortable evidence about the purposeful release of the virus as a bioweapon to commit election fraud and give more global power to the efforts of the Great Reset at the World Economic Forum, hiding behind the façade of the United Nations.  We were dealing with a worldwide insurrection, and Trump was in the way.  But regarding the official government of the United States, Trump was that figure when an “insurrection” occurred.  So, he couldn’t have had an insurrection against himself.  It came from those who opposed him, who are now the same people trying to prevent the people’s voices from being heard in another election.  They knew how to seize power in 2020 because the numbers were not with them.  And without COVID to hide behind this time, they are trying to take Trump away as an option to even vote for because that’s how desperate they are.  Their entire strategy is to ignore that Trump was ever the representative of the government and hope that they can perverse the wording of the 14th Amendment if only they threaten to firebomb the homes of Supreme Court members and intimidate them into seeing the law from the perspective of radical Marxists.  That is their entire game plan.  And it’s as flimsy as it sounds, even though media members don’t have enough confidence in their reading ability to understand the Constitution themselves.  There is nothing to the 14th Amendment case against Trump, and ironically, it opens up the Trump people to be able to pursue the insurgents who were the real problem.  Their legal counsel would serve them better if they started to look at things from that perspective instead of reacting off the back of their heels.  These are easy cases that are only puffed-up bluster from the actual government insurgents, who have seized power and now have the White House and are desperate to do anything to keep that power, which is what this entire case is all about.

Future Debates are Over: Trump is redefining the expectations of politics for the better

It’s an exciting trend, not a surprising one, but certainly telling, and that is debates no longer matter in presidential politics, and as a byproduct of that, money is much less of a factor.  One thing that was grossly obvious in the last Fox News debate was how much things have changed in just a very short period, and if you watched it, or at least some of it as I did, you can see a desperation from the cable news networks to assert a power that they used to have over the process, which they are desperate to hang on to.  Among those under 10% types, there was a consistency to bend allegiance to the media moguls who wanted to set the presidential agenda around consultants and Beltway priorities to keep a globalist narrative on track.  And Trump wisely stepped beyond those controls, leaving essentially the old-world Republicans to battle it out for the bottom in an utterly meaningless debate.  While the discussion was occurring, Trump, of course, did his now famous Tucker Carlson interview, which very quickly gathered up a quarter of a billion views, so the differences in future state politics and the past that have been primarily controlled by consulting firms and media tycoons couldn’t be more obvious.  It’s all about the horse race and the coverage leading up to it for all the parasites who have injected themselves into the process and, over time, taken complete control of the narrative.  But that’s changing now, as it should have long ago.  All presidential politics should be about managing the republic and nothing else.  However, just like in sports, we have turned a game into it, and many people have figured out how to make a living off the coverage of that game. Some have even toyed with the idea that they can run the country if only they force the candidates to stay within the debate framework established by the media. 

One of the big arguments that were made toward Trump joining the Fox News debate was that if the President started a trend of not participating in discussions, then Joe Biden would likely skip doing any arguments in 2024.  Well, I have news for everyone: Joe Biden will never do any more debates.  His handlers will not put him on a stage to talk outside a controlled format.  It’s just not going to happen.  There will be no presidential debates in 2024, which, of course, all the people who make their living covering the horse race of politics find devastating.  But that’s a good thing because all those tag-alongs were useless anyway.  The debates in elections were meant to show people who the candidates were.  But they have evolved into setting the presidential agenda.  Everyone knows who Trump is; he’s the most famous person on Earth.  Nobody is going to learn anything new about Trump after a debate.  The only people who would benefit would be the people hosting the discussion and trying to sell airtime while covering the horse race of politics.  That is essentially all Fox News is and has been for a long time.  They cover the horse race but don’t care much for what horse wins.  They make their money off the event’s coverage, not the actual results in the aftermath.  This kind of culture has led to all the wrong priorities, leading blank-minded candidates to dance to the strings of media owners who then take the business of the republic and form fit it into their business needs. 

During his last term, Trump showed how easy it is to fix many of these issues that consultants have been getting in the way of for a long time, which has hidden itself behind the debate culture of the past.  That’s another reason the media hates Trump; he has exposed this game.  He doesn’t need the money that donors can give, and he doesn’t need the media to make him into a star.  He’s his own person, which infuriates the consultant class.  They can’t make him who he is; he doesn’t need them, which is one of the scariest realities they could have for a lot of people who are parasites in the world–not to be needed, and Trump doesn’t.  It also points out the political change where money is used to buy influence.  Money doesn’t have so much power these days because the game used to be that the media would make a star out of a candidate, and that star would then use that success to raise money, so the money could then be used to buy airtime on the media that created the star, to begin with.  Trump has stepped over that entire process altogether.  It’s all been a shell game that has benefited the wrong people.  The voters have been used to generate the money, but they never get what they want out of politics, leaving everyone perpetually hungry for the next horse race, which Fox News starts covering three years before an election.  It’s been a big scam that does nothing to help solve problems; it only makes money for those who cause all the trouble in the first place, and people are no longer interested.  That may be terrifying to the people who make money off politics, but it’s a changing business, and they’ll have to adapt. 

The Biden people ripped off the scab when they tried to put him in office with a campaign in his basement during Covid.  Trump and Biden had a debate that year, 2020, but they fell short of completing the traditional three that had preceded their terms.  Biden is a primarily handled media caricature kept in power by stolen elections, just as most communist countries stay in control.  Only in America people know better because we do have a free media culture.  And if traditional media doesn’t serve the people, then they will find alternatives, and they have.  And Trump’s campaign in 2024 will completely embrace that new media.  The old media isn’t doing anything useful anyway, so Trump doesn’t need them.  Biden has shown that he doesn’t need them either.  So, there won’t be any presidential debates in 2024.  Fox News hosting these debates is over; nobody cares.  And there will be no return to that type of shell game, rightfully, because money has essentially been taken out of politics.  Money can’t buy support the way it has been sold in the past.  People form opinions about political candidates much differently now, and consultants are finding themselves out of a job they never should have had in the first place.  The future of Trump is to move much faster than the Beltway consultants ever could, and the news will occur at a speed only fast-moving social media can cover.  Newsrooms with editors picking the top three stories of the day are a thing of the past.  The need to know, and quickly, is the wave of tomorrow, and people will form their opinions on their own, not to be shaped by the glitz of media machines and slick ad campaigns.  No, for a change, candidates will be judged by what they do, not what they say, and the future of politics is all about achievement, not manipulation, which is a needed change that we’ve needed for a long time.

The Vivek Ramaswamy I Know: He’s a good guy who wants to help save America for all the right reasons

It’s tough to be a front-runner, which is where Vivek Ramaswamy finds himself among the second-place contenders for President of the United States. As much as I like Vivek, I’m a Trump guy, and from the beginning, it has always been for me Trump, Trump, and more Trump when it comes to the White House. It’s Trump, or something much harsher, that does not consider civility. Trump was treated wrong during his first four years and has been treated wrong since he left office. And to set things right in America, Trump must be back in the White House. So, I have not covered Vivek Ramaswamy’s presidential campaign because he has been running against Trump. However, now that the smoke is starting to clear, and Vivek has shown that he’s never betrayed Trump and has adopted a very MAGA platform in the running for president, there are some things that we can talk about that have come up regarding his character. Now that the world has come to know Vivek Ramaswamy, there are concerns that he’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing, the picked insurgent from Wall Street. After all, he is worth nearly a billion dollars, so he doesn’t exactly fit the profile of “one of us.” But then again, Trump is a billionaire, and as I’ve said many times, the Trump of the 80s and 90s is not the kind of person I would have voted for President. And Vivek is still a very young person, not yet 40. But now that he has overcome DeSantis in most polling, and everyone else, all the presidential candidates likely running to be vice president, Vivek is getting more negative media attention, which requires some clarity.

Before there was a book there was a bright young man who wanted to do something good.

I don’t think Vivek Ramaswamy is anything but sincere in his efforts to run for president and have a political future to continue something good that Trump has started. I know Vivek to a degree and have met him several times. He’s from my area of Cincinnati, so our paths have crossed a lot. I remember very well when he launched his political career at the Middletown Republican Party headquarters, talking about a book he was about to release called Woke Inc, which has gone on to bring great awareness to the dangers of corporate Marxism run by people like Larry Fink from the World Economic Forum. Vivek is a person of magnificent intelligence, and I would look to him as the next great economic advisor in the Trump administration. Vivek Ramaswamy has started Strive Management as an offering to take on the prominent money managers in BlackRock, State Street, and Vanguard, operating out of Columbus, Ohio, instead of Wall Street, New York. Strive Management, I think, is the solution to the monster that the Federal Reserve has created. So, Vivek Ramaswamy isn’t just some dreamy Republican looking for attention. His heart is undoubtedly in the right place, and I can say that because of my interactions with him. Vivek came to an event that I was a part of organizing, and as he explained to me, it was there at that point in his life that he began to see the other side of things, and it inspired him to step away from being a CEO of biotech companies and instead do his part to save America. So, just because people are wealthy and successful, it doesn’t mean they have sold their souls away and are useless for the rest of their lives. People are always on a journey; they seldom stay the same throughout their lives. They evolve as they learn, and Vivek is still a young man and learning who he is.

I like Vivek quite a lot

Vivek Ramaswamy is a great talent, and I am not surprised he’s getting much serious attention as a presidential candidate.  I hope he is in that kind of position for many years.  As much as I support President Trump, it is time to start thinking about 2028 and beyond.  And I believe Vivek Ramaswamy is there to continue a MAGA platform that can help correct America’s severe problem with international finance, where America’s real problems start.  It’s not some faraway country that is the next military threat to American interests; it’s the local bank and the money manager of our 401K plans, and few people in the world understand that better than Vivek Ramaswamy.  And that will be just as much of a problem four years from now as it is currently.  So, I am very supportive of Vivek Ramaswamy, and I want him to succeed in this presidential venture so that he continues to offer his talents to politics to carry a MAGA platform well into the future.  And I have enough personal information about him by knowing him and talking to him to give my opinion on his motives in all this.  I think he’s a young person who has had great success and realized it wasn’t enough.  He has a gift for communication and wants to use it to save a country he loves.  I know the event that he told me about helped shape that moment for him in stepping away from being a wealthy CEO and becoming a political figure that could extend the Trump platform for the Republican Party well into the future.  With a wink and a nod, I would say to everyone, that’s why we have events like the one I’m alluding to.  Because you never know how many Vivek Ramaswamys are out there asking questions about their lives and looking for something meaningful to do next. 

I think Kari Lake is the leading vice-presidential candidate. But for many reasons, I believe Vivek Ramaswamy would be better. The more he talks, the better things get, and as a political party of Republicans, we want Vivek to speak as much as possible. I would love to have four years of Vivek as a vice president, getting on-the-job training for eight solid years as a president. The Vivek I know is a guy who made it big, and it wasn’t enough. Like Trump, he has independent wealth and wants to use his skills to help his country. His political activity has nothing to do with a desire to be near corruption and be recognized as necessary. He already is. But due to his financial independence, like Trump, he is turning to politics to give something back that few people in the world ever get. So, I think Vivek is running for president, not as a controlled asset of Wall Street. But as a person who has stepped over from the dark side of finance and can help fix a very broken problem with his unique skills. I don’t think Vivek ever meant to be on the dark side; he left college and stepped into the world to be successful for all the right reasons, the way society measures it. But these days, he’s more than that; he has grown. And that is why he’s running for office, and he should be a positive contributor to positive political efforts for many years. There are good guys out there, even in the world of politics. Trump came to this good guy desire late in life. And when it comes to Vivek Ramaswamy, it has come early, and perhaps just in time to help save the world.

Warriors and sell-outs, they are not the same.

The Company of Tomorrow: Political trends are shifting away from the World Economic Forum values, and that’s a great thing

Everyone is always looking for the next great business tip for a competitive advantage, so here it is.  You can tell because of trends like what is going on with the Washington Redskins NFL team and the Cleveland Indians.  The fans of those teams are getting petitions signed to restore their names to what they were pre-woke.  The momentum of wokeness has shifted, and we see the political pendulum swinging the other way.  The Marxists had their chance, which didn’t have a positive impact that society could see for themselves.  The Beatles song “Imagine” didn’t come out very well when the World Economic Forum was starting mass viruses for their Great Reset and turning the responsibility of enforcement over to your local human resource office to do through businesses what nobody would ever be able to do through government regulation.  The Marxists of the world figured out that by design, our political systems in America were established to go slow to keep the government from interrupting the machine of capitalism.  So, they turned their attention to businesses to attack them there, and what we have seen happening in business climates over the last several decades has been Marxism, and people didn’t notice until recently.  Because most people have an adversarial relationship with their employers, it wasn’t something people saw coming in the front door.  But now that it’s here, they want it gone.  And that is the future state of business.  I’ve seen this communist, Marxist approach in the industry for a long time, growing year by year, and finally, after Trump was removed from office after a government-organized coup, no different from the many communist revolutions around the world, people finally have had enough of it, and that trend began to go the other way after the last Covid vaccine mandates. 

Just as professional sports teams were tricked into changing their names into woke acceptance, this is not what society wants.  They want cool names for their sports teams, not the Guardians, but the Indians in Cleveland.  I was just in Cleveland, and that name change a few years into it is still a joke, and it’s not getting better.  I have had some interactions with members of the family of that team, and their woke acceptance has not gone over well.  People are turning on them for allowing woke politics into their sacred sports franchise.  And that is certainly the case with the Washington Football team in D.C.  People want their Redskins back.  This anti-capitalist approach to life is not what people want in the world.  They have been patient with corporations that became politically active toward Marxism, some of America’s largest corporations.  When we talk about globalism, we are essentially talking about Marxism because that is how it is everywhere else.  Americans have taken the advantages of capitalism for granted because they didn’t know any better.  And they assumed that the companies they worked for had at least primary American values.  But that’s not how most corporations are these days; they have drifted into this Marxist compliance because if they had manufacturing plants in China, Vietnam, or Europe, they were dealing with some level of Marxism, whether it was outright communism or socialism.  It was not free market capitalism that was the driver of their economies.  It was the slow-moving and lazy administrative state, and it was slowing things down to levels that have been unacceptable in America.  I’m old enough to know what it was like before, and I have watched over several decades of being on the front line how Marxism has migrated into the human resource departments to influence how people live their everyday lives.  But the final straw happened during Covid and the slow realization that most people have from President Trump being in the White House, then Joe Biden.  Bidenomics has not been good for anybody but the global Marxists. 

I have often pointed out, over a long period, how the Lean Manufacturing trend was filled with cultural Marxism.  Many of the central foundations of business ethics these days attack the notion of the golf-playing CEO with a nice car, a trophy wife, and is oozing with success.  In Lean Manufacturing, they want the members of management to come from their offices out to where the work is done, not just to become more effective in understanding a problem.  That is how it sold to them.  But it’s really to minimize management in the eyes of the employees, to establish a level of sameness among everyone that displays nobody is in charge but the centralized employees.  Not even the marketplace.  Compliance with regulators as they get their talking points from the World Economic Forum has been their weapon of choice and has been a slow burn.  The CEOs and CFOs who have survived the most were those bootlicker types who appeased the bureaucratic regulators and were not focused on giving the public what they wanted—but imposing on the public Marxist restrictions not just in the employer but in the marketplace itself.  Rather than march people into Washington D.C. at gunpoint as Castro did in Cuba and kill political rivals off point blank, the Marxists took a much more passive-aggressive route.  They regulated capitalists out of existence.  But the marketplace is catching on and is pushing back.  Because of Trump’s successful administration, people tasted the good life again and want it back.  So, the political sentiment is swinging the other way. 

The World Economic Forum is failing; many of their 2030 plans, as scary as they are for their intent, are falling apart, much the way the name changes in sports are getting so much public pushback.  I do get to talk to people worldwide for perspective, and the sentiment is pretty much everywhere the same.  They are upset with Marxism and don’t want it in their products or the companies that make them.  And they certainly don’t want it in their sports teams.  People were willing to put up with it as long as they had the illusion of capitalism functioning in the background.  But now that they know differently, they want their capitalism back, so the future of business will go to those companies who most embrace capitalism for the majority of market share in the future.  Further woke trends from the human resource departments, such as paperless paychecks into bank accounts that centralized bankers can completely control, are not tomorrow’s trend.  But quite the opposite.  Ownership was diminished by the Marxists, including how pay was distributed or whether or not your employer could force you to get a vaccine of poison to keep your job.  The Marxists got caught talking out of both sides of their mouth; while they were saying work from home, fair pay for fair work, and make sure you get an excellent ESG score, the radical leftist Larry Fink and the Wall Street insurgents were saying, if you value your job, you’ll get the government medicine from the world’s largest drug dealer, the federal government.  People were willing to listen before and in the years leading up to these ridiculous sentiments of globalism on American corporations.  But now they aren’t, and success will be measured differently.  The less compliant with Marxist measures globally, the better companies will be.  And that is tomorrow’s trend for those who want to get a jump start.  Capitalism works not just because it makes money for those who utilize it.  But also, it’s a measure of morality that the public can influence, which was always at the heart of all economic activity and always will be.

How to Make a Good Team in Sports and Politics: The point of everything is to give voters options

It will continue to be one of the universe’s great mysteries why people can look at sports teams and have opinions about what they should be doing, but they can’t apply those same methods to their lives.  This is a prominent issue every year in pre-season football with the mini camps as teams figure out which players they will cut and which will make their final roster.  Good teams figure out the right players and get them all pointed in the right direction for the success or failure of a season.  If the players are allowed to pick their fellow players, teams tend not to do so well.  It takes good leadership to figure it out and put people together who likely wouldn’t figure it out for themselves.  Good teams tend to have players playing together who wouldn’t otherwise be friends.  One of the mysterious qualities of leadership is to see things of value beyond the choice of friendships, and when it comes to sports, most people get it.  They understand what makes success and have many opinions about it.  But they can’t do it when it comes time to utilize those same skills in their lives.  That is certainly the situation in business.  And it is undoubtedly the case in politics.  The goal of all these endeavors is to figure out what success looks like, whether it be winning a Super Bowl, having a great business quarter, or providing a great political party to the voting public; once success is understood, then leadership needs to do what it must to give that result.  It’s not complicated.  Yet, it remains one of the least utilized factors in human interaction. 

There is only one correct measure to winning in politics; it is in a political party providing the voting public with good people they can vote for.  Any other action is missing the point.  If a political party is not focused on those attributes, then they aren’t trying to be a good political party.  I would say this is a problem all over America, in every aspect of county politics, no matter where we talk about it.  And that is certainly the case with the Butler County Republican Party in Ohio, where I live.  I can say that I know many people at that party, and I personally liked them all in some way or another.  If you sit down and talk to people, I can usually find something I like about just about anybody.  But the problem is, do they make an excellent political party just because you want them?  And in most cases, that is not the reality.  Politics should only aim to provide voters and taxpayers with good people to represent them best.  When political parties lose sight of that strategy, things go wrong.  And that is how RINOs in the Republican Party come to be.  Most people get into politics for ideological reasons.  However, the concessions they make to get along with other people become detrimental to their representation of the voter base, which is the value of the party brand.  If people have good representation in politics, then the brand of the party could be said to be good.  If voters don’t, they start to lose faith in the system, voter engagement lowers, and the direction of victory in politics changes dramatically.  When voters feel that the people they elect don’t represent them, we could say that politics has failed.

It’s just like the comparison with the sports team that desires to put a winning team on the field so people come to the games and feel good about the chances for a victory, so they buy beer and overpriced hot dogs at the concessions, which is really how the team makes their money, how they measure their value to the customer base.  If the team isn’t winning, there are fewer fans to buy hot dogs, to put it simply.  The same holds in politics.  I know many people who want to run for office within the Butler County Republican Party.  But, they do not feel they can remain people of integrity because of the restrictions of party politics.  So, we end up with the wrong people running for office while much better candidates that the public would love to have representing them are sitting on the sidelines.  This is a case where the players on the field pick people they like and are comfortable with, not the leadership of the voting public deciding how that team would shape out.  Too often, and this year of 2023 is undoubtedly a good example, many good people are not participating in the political process because they have learned that they aren’t in the cool kids club and will never be invited.  Because the party is picking the members, not the voters.  And instead of letting the voters shape the party, the players are forming the team; then they wonder why many fans are not supporting their losing effort.

Not everyone gets into politics for the same reasons.  I understand that some feel that getting into politics protects their business interests from a corrosive government and provides a barrier to their efforts to keep their businesses healthy.  These are not ideological people but practical ones who see government as dangerous to their interests in business, so they get involved in politics to protect their efforts.  And those people are trying to play nice in the sandbox with ideologically based people who enter politics for reasons of genuine philosophy.  And those kinds of people are scary to those looking for political stability.  I get it.  Just like a wide receiver on a football team being upset that a new tight end is playing the slot receiver role, the wide receiver might feel like the coaching staff is trampling on their turf.  But so what? Maybe that is the best way to become a winning team.  That doesn’t mean that the tight end should be run off the team to make the wide receiver feel like they have job security and aren’t threatened by challengers.  Challenges make the team better.  But then better for whom?  For the players or the fans?  That is what must be decided, and what I have seen from the GOP in general, especially since Trump has been out of office, is a party for the players, not for the voters.  It’s the players making the teams they want to play with.  They are not trying to give the voting public the best representatives they can get.  And if a political party isn’t doing that, they aren’t trying to be the best they can be for their communities.  While such a concept may not be complicated, it remains the biggest stumbling block to any successful venture within human endeavor.   And that is certainly the case in politics.  Some great people want to participate, but they have been told in so many words or less that politics is about maintaining friendships and that everyone needs to stay in their lane and behave.  But that is not what voters want, and until political parties listen, the public will continue to be let down by the result.

History Will Remember How ‘Truth Social’ Saved Free Speech: The Home of President Trump

There was quite a stir when President Trump posted for the first time on X, or whatever Twitter is called these days. Trump put his mug shot on there, and the numbers exploded upon seeing it. I thought it was a great move, but I don’t think it says anything about Trump returning to Twitter as much as it indicates what he will do to win back the White House. Essentially, Trump is all in; he will do anything, and I mean anything, to beat these Marxist losers and kick out the crooked Biden crime family from the White House. I did not see it as abandoning his personal social media site, Truth Social. Later, President Trump assured everyone that Truth Social was his home and that he would stay with it. That doesn’t mean he can’t post what he wants on other social media outlets. Only that Truth Social remained true to his heart, and it should. I think when the smoke clears from this period of history, there will be one common thing that everyone will point to and say, “That saved America.” And I think that thing will be the creation of Truth Social. It was a very dark day; I remember it well. It was the closest thing we have ever seen to a hostile regime change in America, involving thousands of people hostile to Trump and his supporters. After January 20th, 2021, Trump left the White House for the last time, and essentially, he was openly banned from all social media, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and Google search engines; the writing was on the wall. We didn’t just have an election that was in dispute; we had a government assassination much the way we did with Kennedy and Nixon. And it happened right before our faces in a way nobody expected. Well, very few people did expect it. I expected it. But the results were shocking to a lot of people.

I don’t talk about a lot of the behind-the-scenes stuff.  I put out my social media, and lots of people see it.  But there is a lot of shadow banning going on, and with me, that has been the case since social media started.  In many ways, I may be one of the most shadow-banned people on planet Earth.  I noticed it on YouTube years ago, well before President Trump joined politics.  You can look at videos I did 15 years ago and see that some have less than 100 views.  Some people put videos of hamsters drinking water, which get millions of hits, so for videos that old, what in the world was going on?  Well, it’s the same on my Twitter account and even my blog.  There are many ways that the people who control those social media platforms, apparently low-level people, can suppress the algorithm to your material for search engines, which many people know about.  But they can also tamper with social media counting, such as viewing results, followers, subscribers, and how your overall reach reaches.  To get a little sample of what I’m talking about, look at the views on my Rumble account videos compared to my YouTube account, and you will see what I’m talking about.  I see one set of numbers on my blog on my administrative page.  But on the display page, it’s a much-suppressed number.  Occasionally, when the software that the social media companies are updating and their algorithm scanning software is on pause, I get an accurate picture of how many people visit my sites.  That’s when I usually take a photo to validate the results.  But to put it mildly, the bad guys control the internet, let people see what they decide, and manage the transaction.  That is the purpose of the internet: more power, not more freedom.  And that game plan was never more evident than on January 20th, 2021, when the world of media, on all fronts, tried to make President Trump, the guy who just spent four years in the White House leading the free world, a “nonperson,” as Rupert Murdoch at Fox News clearly stated.  They were in control, and anybody they wanted to target they felt they could paint out of existence. 

The payback will be harsh, as it should be

In reaction to it, I was looking over my shoulder a lot.  There were a lot of shadowy characters popping into my life, and I was prepared to have a shootout with those hostile forces at any moment.  The crackdown was in full effect, and I was indeed a target.  My wife and I hooked up our RV and headed for the deserts of New Mexico to get things straight.  It was probably one of the best decisions in life that I have ever made.  There, I finished my book The Gunfighter’s Guide to Business and figured out what to do next.  And in the following months, the resistance movement against these tyrannical, election-stealing terrorists in the White House was taking shape.  Trump wouldn’t allow some third party to control his next campaign or the freedom movement in general.  As many others did, we would create our own social media companies and turn the tables on the bad guys.   And it would be painful for them.

I still watch and listen to everyone, even the bad guys on cable news, like MSNBC and corporate-run talk radio, just to understand what those idiots think. Most of my information comes from the live streams on Gettr. And once President Trump started Truth Social, I was among the first accepted accounts. And there is quite a lot to that story, too. I have had a lot of trouble with Truth Social, but it is not their fault. But there has been a lot of tampering that has locked my account many times. But, the social media element has undoubtedly forced the entire industry to change. Under Elon Musk, I have given Twitter a bit of a chance. It’s better. My account shows few social media impressions because it is so heavily shadow-banned. But I routinely get many tens of thousands of views when I comment on an account that isn’t so heavily shadow-banned, which is very effective. Social media, like their communist partners in China and the World Economic Forum, will let a few controlled people present the appearance of free speech. But the hostile anti-free speech people try to suppress them in every way possible. Truth Social was the first to break that wall down brick by brick, and it was brilliant of President Trump to utilize. Ultimately, it will likely be what won the war because it took the clamps off free speech and forced the alternatives to adjust their approach. And it broke the model of tyranny behind the creation of the Internet. As a result, the message of Trump and the rest of us can get out to others, and the government and the hostile agents that control our government now cannot stop people from hearing other opinions. And the planned communism that was always part of the Internet plan is falling apart. Truth Social opened the door to Free Speech on the Internet because it was the home of the most famous person on earth. And that pressure may save the world yet.

A Conversation with My Mom: Understanding the Cult of Trump

It was an easy answer that had been coming up more frequently, especially with the Trump indictments by a corrupt legal system run by a crime boss in Joe Biden, who was only in power because of a stolen election. And the thugs were showing that they were in charge, but they were mystified as to why so many people still supported Trump. They had not thought that to be the case. Instead, they expected submission, groveling, and fear from the Trump supporters. Even as they distributed a mugshot of a former president to show their power over him and much of his former staff. We saw a coup by Marxist insurgents, just like Lenin, Mao, or Castro in Cuba. This happened in the United States, and they thought they had it all figured out. Yet, instead, they didn’t understand why Trump was getting more popular, and nobody seemed able to explain it, even the Trump supporters. But the issue became very clear as I visited my elderly mom in the hospital. We were having one of those life-flashing-before-her-eyes discussions as if checking the validity of everything’s worth. From issues when she was a little girl that were coming back to her very fluidly. To things that happened just yesterday. And in her condition, she had been telling all the nurses who were tending to her about some of my very violent past because it was on her mind, and we were talking about it in a way we never had before. Life moved quickly, and there hadn’t been time to catch up, at least for me. She felt she had done something wrong, producing a person like me who was so angry that many people outright hated. She came from the Happy Days generation, where people measured success by how many people liked them. Not me. She didn’t understand why I needed to carry a gun everywhere. She said to me, “Maybe if you just did what you were told, so many people wouldn’t be after you,” she said.

Vote for Trump to fight Marxism

We reflected on many stories, but the one she had told the nurses was one where I was involved in a large fight where many people were killed in the process.  As we reflected, only a few were still alive out of all the people involved.  She was upset that I was so proud of that incident.  She felt guilt about it while I took great pride in it, and that was the core of the problem and why we hadn’t talked about it over all these years.  But that wasn’t the only issue.  I reminded her of the first grade when I poked the school bully in the eye with my scissors.  He was picking on somebody. I had stepped in to stop it, and a fight ensued in class.  He was a really big kid, and everyone was terrified of him.  So, knowing he was dangerous, I fought him that way and stabbed him in the eye with my scissors.  I got into a lot of trouble.  Another time, I was on the school bus.  I always rode in the back, as far away from the figures of authority as possible.  But that was always where the kids who did terrible things sat, and I witnessed many bad things.  One day, they were doing drugs, sharing apparent stimulant pills, and they tried to force me to take one.  I threw it out the window, as I have never taken any drugs, ever in my life.  And I felt very strongly about it even back then.  A huge fight ensued, many of them against me, and many people got hurt, some of them badly.  I got into a lot of trouble.  A lot of trouble.

I don’t sit around thinking about it, but I had dozens and dozens of those kinds of stories, and as my mom reflected on them like older adults do as they are trying to work things out about their own lives, I just let her talk.  But up to that point, I am not a sit-down-and-talk-about-it person.  I keep the throttle down pretty hard, and I like things to go fast.  Not that I’m trying to outrun my past.  I don’t like getting stuck thinking about it because I see it as a waste of time.  But visiting her in that condition it was on her mind, and she felt like she had done something wrong to have such a socially ostracized kid, and she was being hard on herself for all the death and mayhem that was in the wake of it all.  Then, telling her how proud I was of my life was too much.  Yet she had said something that explained the current situation with Trump and the Marxists, who were essentially trying to take over the American government, and why there was such a lack of understanding about the whole issue.  The theme of my life was pretty easy to sum up: resisting anybody who wanted to control my life in some way. I have had the unique circumstance of never being beaten into any submission.  But from my mom’s point of view, she felt that I would have had a much easier life if I had just done what people told me to do.  But I didn’t want an easy life.  I enjoyed the violence.  I enjoyed the heartbreak.  I liked the pain.  Because I wanted more than anything to be free, free as a person to think what I wanted when I wanted to.  So, to me, all those horrible things were good, and I was proud to now reflect on them, knowing what I had to do to arrive at this moment.  On the other hand, she valued safety as the primary criterion of goodness, and because of that, she felt like she had failed. 

Not all Americans had my experience.  Many, at some point in their lives, had taken that pill to keep from being beaten up.  Or they avoided stabbing a bully in the eye because they were afraid to hurt the other person, so they ended up getting beaten up themselves.  And they said yes to the pushing and shoving against them, where a long history of dead bodies didn’t populate their past.  It costs a lot to resist the bullies in life, and there are many of them, and most people do not feel as strongly as I do about it.  But their inner rebel does come out when it comes to Trump.  And secretly, they support that he has been so strong as their representative, and where the Marxist insurgents expected to bully people and have them fold up like cheap lawn chairs, people have continued to support Trump, and that support has increased with each new indictment.  As I answered my mom, appeasing the bad guys does not improve life.  I’d instead carry a gun like I do now everywhere, knowing that lots of people would love to kill me.  That was her fear: if you, just for once in your life, would appease all those bad people, maybe they’d leave you alone.  But no, they never leave you alone.  All they understand is force, and in my way, I have fought very hard with lots of casualties along the way to maintain my freedom.  And now, I was watching the nation of America waking up to that same sentiment.  And I think it’s good, and about time.  Better late than never, but I can certainly say that I understand it fully.  And what’s to come quite well.

Trump is the Hand of God on Earth: The long fight against the prosecution of free people is finally coming to a climax

This persecution of Trump is not a new thing in the world.  It always happens when dynamic challenges confront stagnant orders.  The most obvious example is when Christ was persecuted and killed for his challenges to the static order of the day.  But we could say the same thing of Joseph, son of Jacob, whom God had renamed Israel.  Or the Apostle Paul, who was killed by the Romans who continued the preaching of Christ around the Mediterranean to the point where they killed him.  Or even Socrates was killed in Greek society for corrupting the youth with his words.  People being killed for challenging a static order filled with corruption is the story of the human race, and President Trump is the most modern example.  It’s not unusual for what is happening to him to be happening to someone who is a challenge to the established order.  The only real difference is that most of these occur regionally, but the Trump case is genuinely global.  And the process is always the same, made-up charges, weaponization of the legal system, and the implementation of a death penalty.  That is what Democrats are out for in America, but more than that, much of the world is rooted in communism, socialism, and all elements of general globalism.  Trump is a threat to that order, so the powers that have been corrupting our lives in the background are showing their presence by coming out against Trump.  Trump is the most famous person on Earth and is prepared to handle this prosecution, as they have always been looming in our lives in terrible ways.  Yet what’s different this time is that someone like him is coming out of America to challenge the world in ways they never have before.  This time, as opposed to all the biblical and historical figures, there is an assumption that Trump has a right to challenge those forces, making the panic ever deeper.

It’s not just that Trump is having all these grave injustices done to him, such as the arrest in Georgia for doing nothing but trying to run for office again.  I have said it often, the anger is that the established order has been picking our representatives for us for years, and Trump is truly a representative of the people.  They know Joe Biden didn’t get 81 million votes.  They knew they cheated in that election.  They know what they did during Covid.  They know what they are doing in Ukraine and many other places.  And they are being caught.  And their only option is this desperate prosecution of Trump, just as many have been destroyed as they emerged in history.  I particularly like the story of Joseph, the favorite son of Jacob whom his brothers sold into slavery in Egypt.  He was jailed for several years and essentially sentenced to death.  But Joseph had a particular skill, interpreting dreams, and he did rise to the top of Egyptian society under the care of Pharaoh, who had come to love Joseph.  And the tables were turned on the brothers, and the people of Israel flourished until the next pharaoh found them a threat to his power.  That’s the motivation behind most of these classic stories.  Threats to power must be destroyed.  This time is no different, only now it is the efforts of globalism for communist domination of the entire planet that is at stake.  And Trump and his first term scared that power to its very foundations.  And we are witnessing how scared they are by what they are doing to prosecute Trump and his supporters in obvious ways.  I see Trump, as I have now for a long time, as an instrument of God to destroy these powers and that much of what we are witnessing is a divine history meant to kill that vast evil on earth.

And why not, why not Trump, out of all people?  I think a look at Trump’s life now, in hindsight, makes a lot of sense.  He had great success in enduring what is happening now, to have the personal resources not to be like John the Baptist and be arrested for the pleasure of the powers ruling the day.  Trump is too big to stop and throw in jail to rot away until some wealthy socialite pleads for the head of the cousin of Jesus to be presented to her for all the vanity that evil would bathe in.  Trump isn’t perfect; he’s on his third marriage and has made many mistakes.  But then again, remember King David, who wanted to sleep with a woman who caught his eye, so he sent her husband to war to kill him so he could be with her.  Or what about King Soloman, who had so many wives, many of them worshipers of Baal?  God seems to shake his head at these shortcomings but forgives them so long as the primary objective is fulfilled.  And Trump fits in perfectly with these historical characters.  But this one is different because it’s global, and it is happening under the American assumption of free speech, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights that protects our society from such incriminations.  The communist globalists, of course, want to destroy the American way of life and the laws of the Constitution, making Trump the most crucial element to that preservation that has ever appeared on earth.  

Recently I couldn’t help but draw the comparison after Season Two of Chosen, where Jesus was having his famous Sermon on the Mount.  It reminded me of a Trump rally.  Of course, the popular show Chosen is a modern interpretation of a scriptural story of significance, and the current Trump rallies might have influenced the director.  But it indicates how this story of human need is as old as time.  When people see that someone is breaking down the static order that is suppressing them, which Jesus was doing, by the hand of God himself, they will crawl through broken glass for that person to shatter that suppressive static order.  And we know that because of the events that occurred over the next 2000 years.  We can see the hand of God at work again on a grand scale, not just a persecution for a speech given at the Sea of Galilee, but the words of Trump have reached every corner of Earth.  And just as the powerful forces of Roman society watched Jesus’ speech with fear at the power being displayed, we are watching that same persecution unleashed yet again.  But this time, we aren’t talking about Christ being crucified, Socrates being poisoned, Joseph being sold into slavery and killed in prison, or John the Baptist having his head cut off.  This time Trump is running for president to gain control of the free world as our direct representative, and he is too big of a personality to be prosecuted.  The public wants him to represent them on the world stage.  And it’s beautiful to watch.  The reason for America being created in the context of history is to unleash a person like Trump onto the world to destroy these tyrannical elements once and for all.  We had to have a fight because we have always had it.  Only this time, we have a country in America that expects to win, not for the forces of darkness to prevail.  Because Trump is just the right personality for this task at hand, and it’s wonderful to see and witness such a historical moment that thousands of years have been building up to this precise culmination.
