I Disagree with the Bible on Wealth Creation: Money is a measure of good and evil

One of the problems I have always had with the Bible, going all the way back to bible school, which I had most Sundays from age 5 to the 8th grade, was this idea that a rich person was evil and working against God unless they gave away all their material items during their life and wholly dedicated their life to God, in every way. I have never read the Bible that way nor interpreted religion with such narrowmindedness. Making money and religion were always two separate things as defined by the old powers of Europe, and I really didn’t have a personal approach to it until recently, when I spent a considerable time in the deserts of New Mexico writing my book The Gunfighter’s Guide to Business, and specifically the chapter where I say, “Money is not the Root of all Evil.” There I argue that America has been a different kind of invention that couldn’t have been understood during the Biblical period, nor when the Romans decided what books of the Bible to include in the Council of Nicaea. Cultures have been hindering themselves with this problem for many thousands of years at this point, and it’s caused a lot of problems. But before you can come to a rational conclusion on the matter, you have to go against literally every pastor, minister, and biblical interpreter that has ever been known because I think they all got it wrong and that they have been holding civilization back, and creating many of the problems we see today politically, and have actually empowered evil to thrive behind the definitions as they have been interpreted by institutionalism, as the Roman Empire was undoubtedly inspired to do.

A few of the most controversial passages from the Bible regarding wealth come from the Book of James 2:6 “But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you and draw you before the judgment seats?”  Then again, with Jesus saying in Luke 18:25 that “it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God,” There are many others, of course, littered throughout the Bible and I would argue not so much that they are wrong, but that they don’t capture the entirety of the morality of money. I have personally been able to forgive the Bible for these definitions, which run counter to the essence of a life well lived, but at the core of how the political left attacks conservatives is this deeply rooted guilt of making money and taking care of the poor. Because if a conservative has made a lot of money in their life, then by association, they will turn away from the Bible because it doesn’t fit their life experience with definitions like what the Bible provides. But with all other things, especially in the definitions of evil, which are well articulated throughout the Bible, then those get tossed away as well. My argument has been that the concept of American capitalism, as established by the wonderful book The Wealth of Nations by Adam Smith, is that in the times of Jesus, nobody had good definitions of money and how they were moral markers in a healthy society. And who would have expected the writers of the Bible to ever figure it out during that period of human history? Indeed, proper definitions of the value of money in a culture did not arrive upon the human race until Ayn Rand did it in her outstanding work, Atlas Shrugged, in 1957. And such a definition would have only come from a culture like America, which was vastly different in its use of capitalism than any other place in the world.

America was created to answer an ancient problem: living life free of kings and regional governors. In such a society, the only way to get rich was to obtain permission to be so by schmoozing up to the powers that controlled the region people lived in. And this is undoubtedly the issue during the teachings of Jesus. To preach the ways of God that he was, away from Jewish institutionalism, was a severe rebellion in those times. It was an unheard-of menace, so they plotted to kill him. And, of course, the people who were protecting their wealth would have been the villains of what Jesus was preaching. But there wasn’t an America even conceived of at the time, and the writers of the Bible never could imagine anything like freedom being possible. So the problem persists for a nation like America that it was built around a religious connection to ancient documents that defined money before the concept of individual freedom had been worked out politically. And for the human race, that is a very recent development. It’s even more recent than the work of Karl Marx in Europe. There is a morality to money, as applied by the United States, that is quite a good measure that is fundamental to rooting out evil in a society that is very much the topic of our present politics and is the theme of our times. 

I benefit from knowing many people in my life who are very rich. In some cases, they are extremely rich, and I have been able to see up close how that wealth creation has benefited the world around them. Adding to that an extensive study of comparative religion and reverence specifically for biblical research, I can see how definitions working against the rich, or materialism in general, would cause people problems. But I would say the Bible is wrong about wealth creation and the “rich” in general while being “right” about the definitions of “evil” itself. We can’t just pick and choose what we like in the Bible and toss out that which we don’t, which most religions do, no matter what their source material is. Instead, I would say that wealth creation has benefited from inventions in politics over the years and that the criteria for rich people have changed with the creation of America. Money helps a healthy society measure the morality of a culture in ways that institutions have never achieved after many centuries of trying. In a free culture, those who make money do so because society values something they produce for that society. But we associate wealth creation such as the Biden family has achieved as a sell-out of his office to the rivals who would like to destroy the concept of capitalism to hide their evil actions behind the traditional definitions they can’t live up to. But for a person like President Trump, who has acquired all the material items and wealth that could be imagined in a single lifetime, then used that wealth to fight for the cause of truth and justice, then suddenly the Biblical definitions aren’t broad enough to encompass the morality of money as a representative of a life well lived. Then, in that case, all wealth creation is not equal; it is good and bad among the wealthy, and how they have made their money roots out their behavior in ways that benefit moral discourse. And in that way, the right kind of wealthy people are paramount to a healthy society, especially in contrast to those who were likely just as Jesus spoke about in his time with the metaphor of the camel and the eye of the needle.

The 51 Agents That Committed Treason and Sedition: When a government investigates itself and doesn’t send itself to jail

Do people like John Brennen and James Clapper inspire any kind of confidence? Clapper was the Director of National Intelligence, and Brennan was the Director of the CIA (Central Intelligence Agency). Big jobs, yet they showed such recklessness in their activism against a sitting president that they could justifiably be called foolish. I mean, let’s get some ground rules established here. I despised Barack Obama. I thought, and still do, that he represented evil on earth and was the worst thing that could have happened to America. And he’s still bad for America. But I would have never committed treason and sedition to remove him from office, as Clapper and Brennan did. They and 51 other intelligence officers signed a letter dismissing the Biden laptop as Russian disinformation, which has now turned out to be a complete lie. We saw a bunch of highly paid people with access to our most classified information doing whatever they could to rig the election against President Trump because they didn’t like him. I figured with Obama; if people voted for him, then the game works that you make an argument against him. You don’t go out and plot a government-paid coup against who the voters pick for office. This is what those 51 intelligence agents did, particularly Clapper and Brennan, which indicates just how radical those agencies had become. They felt entitled to do whatever it took to remove Trump from office, so now we know what we do about their level of activism, we must look at everything people suspect was wrong and give it new merit. Because if they would lie about that, what else would they lie about? 

It’s not like I’m talking about this in a vacuum. About a year ago, when this story was being talked about heavily, about the 51 agents who had signed that letter right before the 2020 election hoping to suppress the information about the Hunter Biden laptop, which showed the president’s son doing very despicable things. It also showed the money trail to the Biden family from China and other places where Joe Biden had sold access to himself to hostile contributors who were known enemies of our country. I was able to talk to Mike Pompeo about it, which under Trump, he was in charge of the CIA. So he knows the kind of people who are in the CIA. Under someone like Pompeo, I think better of the CIA. But under John Brennan, it’s simply an interment of domestic terrorism because of his political positions, which he obviously abused under his direction. And, of course, Pompeo was embarrassed about the actions. He thinks a lot of the men and women in the CIA who worked under him and the information about the 51 agents who signed that letter was embarrassing for him, and he would have preferred that I didn’t bring it up. After all, we were at a festive event, and he wanted to keep it that way. Yet such a reference was embarrassing because we wanted to believe these were good people. But they aren’t; they committed vile acts of sedition against our country as they plotted the overthrow of our executive in the White House. Brennan knew what he was doing, as we learned recently from the Durham Report that he briefed President Obama and Vice President Biden on the matter in the White House. They all plotted to remove Trump from office or keep him from office by subverting the election process, and we only know about it because they were caught. Can you imagine what else they have done that they have not yet been caught for?

And we were told it was wrong to question the birth certificate of Obama, which turned out to have all kinds of problems with it. Or that it was wrong to examine why the CIA didn’t know about the attacks on 9/11 and didn’t share information with the FBI better, which facilitated the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center. And I can tell you that right after the election, I had a chance to talk with Sidney Powell, who used to be on Fox News all the time until she said that there was election fraud in the last election. She was only the attorney for General Flynn, not exactly someone with a few screws loose. But as soon as she pushed a narrative that the election was stolen, in the open days after the 2020 election, along with Rudy Giuliani, she was dismissed from any public consideration. And what did she tell me, that the intelligence agencies stole the election. At the time, it seemed like fiction. But now we know from lots of evidence that has poured forth that they openly did lie in that letter. Russia wasn’t a factor in the election of President Trump. Our intelligence agencies had been caught, and the results of the Durham Report prove it. And what’s even worse is that the more anybody dug into the matter, the more radicalism from people like Clapper and Brennan came to the surface, and it all connected back to the Obama White House. 

If the crimes that the 51 intelligence officers committed were not treason and sedition, then what would they be? Treason is the crime of betraying one’s country, especially by attempting to kill the sovereign or overthrow the government. The CIA has done that in regard to Trump because he was in the government at the time. And we now know through released classified information that the CIA played a prominent role in the killing of President Kennedy in 1963. That’s not a conspiracy theory anymore. Sedition is overt conduct, such as speech and organization, that tends toward rebellion against the established order. Sedition often includes subversion of a constitution and incitement of discontent toward, or insurrection against, established authority. Isn’t that what these intelligence agents did with the signing of that letter, to alter the outcome of an election, to lie to the American people to manipulate the sentiment of voters by using their trusted positions to do so? If these are not high crimes from these 51 agents, what are? The sad thing about this entire story is that the government investigated itself and decided not to send itself to jail. That is why the Durham Report says many very hard things but can’t recommend any prosecution because who would do the prosecution? Everyone is in on it, and from both political parties. They don’t fear punishment, have a rigged system, and dare anybody to come after them, which is why they committed the crimes against Trump and his voters in the first place. They have no respect for any of us or the Constitutional law they were sworn to protect. They are laughing at us for our naive reverence to such things as “borders” and “elections.” They think they are smarter than we are, they think they know better than we do, and they think they are in charge, ultimately. And they can do whatever they want to anybody, any time they want to. They are examples of abuse of power that was out of control long ago. And anybody who gets in their way they feel it’s their right to destroy. And they’ve been doing it essentially since they were made into existence in the last century. They haven’t been around very long, and perhaps based on these actions, they shouldn’t remain in any form. We’d be better off without such terrorists and their crimes of sedition and treason against the United States which are common, not unique.

Judgment Day: A review of ‘The Harbinger II–The Return’ and the vast evil that worked behind Government involvement with Covid

We are well into a diabolical scheme to ruin the world under the pressures of many ideologies coalescing under the banner of globalism for the ruin of all our lives. And any innocence the hostile insurgents played to is long gone. It’s ugly, but I don’t know that it’s uglier than at any other point in history when social collapse was imminent. I continue to tell people that the American Constitution, which was founded on Christian ideas, is the key to the future because it limits out-of-control governments that many of these hostile forces never thought would be possible. It certainly wasn’t in their plans, which was most extraordinarily exploited during Covid in people like Bill Gates, who had spent a lot of time thinking about how to take over the world only to find out that the President of the United States wasn’t a king, and that states rights had more power than the federal government. In America, regional government is most accountable to the people who ruled in court cases, and that was a perplexing development to the world domination schemers. In the end, the American Constitution was meant to do what it is doing: to fight off the evil intentions of vile agents of chaos and destruction. We are not promised a life of comfort without challenges. But we can have the freedom to fight for our continued independence from those globalist forces and the schemes they have been employing for thousands of years. 

I recently did something of a review of the great Jonathan Cahn book The Harbinger, and in it, I went even further than the book, published in 2011, in talking about how BlackRock was connected in several ways to the same hostile forces that were behind the 9/11 attack. If The Harbinger was about the scriptural warnings of a country that had fallen from God and that if they wanted to avoid Israel’s fate, that they would get right again with God, because the signs were everywhere. Further, it is my opinion, based on a vast amount of reading, that the religion of Islam is built off the hostile intentions of the old Baal worship from that same region. Once Christianity was put into a biblical form under the Roman Empire, the Arab forces put forth the Quran as an answer to the Bible, using many of the same characters but putting their own stamp on it. And within that context is the ancient Kaaba Stone in Mecca, where the same Abraham from the Bible rebuilt the temple, which is the focus of many pilgrimages for Muslims. And what was worshipped there before Abraham’s time, Baal. And that the purpose of the Quran was to put a mask on that ancient deity worship, give Allah a broad definition to seduce many to their religion, much the way the Israelites were convinced to step away from God in the first place, and that the religious squabbles of the Palestinians and the Jewish people was more of a military strategy hidden behind a spiritual crisis. And to further complicate things, the black stone of worship at Mecca is the same rock that the modern company of BlackRock references in their desire to take over all the boardrooms of America and implement woke policies as a new kind of terrorism. 

The Harbinger is a very popular book, so it should come as no surprise that its sequel, produced in 2020 during the Covid lockdowns, would also get a lot of attention, and it, of course, did. The Harbinger II—The Return is still one of the feature books in Christian books stores that is a best-seller, and it continues on with the Harbinger message, which is that biblical scripture is foretelling of events of our modern times that involve terrorist activity and the hostilities of governments not rooted to God, but have been seduced back into Baal worship behind the many masks of contemporary preponderance. What is so spectacularly interesting in this book is that it was written and published during the Covid lockdowns, for which it plays right into the narrative of the vast evil at work behind the politeness of modern culture. Where Jonathan Cahn, at the time, attributed Covid to a plague unleashed by God to punish a society that had turned away from him, the reality is that Covid was created in a Chinese lab by hostile forces as a kind of military attack. And that in that context, it was like the armies of Nebuchadnezzar attacking Israel and destroying the temple as an agent of God’s wrath. Whether scripture predicted human events or that people wanted prophecy to be truth and sought ways to fulfill them, the matter is beyond doubt that maniacal forces were at work to destroy the world, and the Bible is all about dealing with that problem in a past, present, and future tense. In the space of one year, with Covid and the realization that elections were not representative of the voting public with evidence of massive corruption being displayed right in front of our faces, it was a punishing revelation on part with the destruction of Israel from the Assyrian forces. And it all started with the 9/11 attacks and the events of the first Harbinger book. America was under attack, and people did not just feel death and misery. And the level of evil that we were dealing with on a global scale was hard to believe. The only way to comprehend it was to read about it in the context of scripture. 

In the end, that will fix many of our modern problems, and like Israel and other crises throughout history, we will come out of it. The American Constitution will play a significant role in that revival. But so again will Christian book sections and a reconnection with the Bible. American society was founded on Biblical concepts, and our rule of law was tethered to the idea of God from the beginning. And when I go to the bookstore, it is obvious that books like Jonathan Cahn’s continue to sell the most. One of my favorite bookstores is the Books A Million in Dayton at The Greene. There is an entire second floor of a very large store that is nearly dedicated to the Christian religion and the selling of various Bibles. So the warnings in the Harbinger books are well stated, but they do not come without solutions.

The evil of terrorism is a very real thing, not just with 9/11 but in what we saw in Covid, which was much worse. And when we see how God punished Israel for its worship of Baal and other Mesopotamian gods, we have modern context that is on par with that level of suffering. But we’ve also seen this story before. We know how it ends. We are living in the days of Judgement, which is OK. We are living history now, but when we made our Constitution, we built it with these days in mind and many others in the future. We may be unable to stop evil’s intentions and their schemes. But we can fight off their effects, which is the process we are going through now. It’s certainly not hopeless. There are harbingers of goodness as well, and you can find them in the resurgence of Christian bookstores that are safe harbors from woke policies intent on destroying our culture from the inside out. And they continue to be a handhold to sanity as the most diabolical menaces in human history make their moves right before our faces for a judgment day that isn’t far off in the future but is before us now, in our own lifetimes.

Why Property Values in Butler County Could Go Up By 42%: And What Nancy Nix and many others are doing to Protect taxpayers

It was a very beautiful day looking out the windows of the Office of Nancy Nix as the Great Miami River gently rolled by as it has for many thousands of years. I looked down from the third-floor vantage point into the park that used to be the movie theater in Hamilton, where I first saw Sleeping Beauty and reflected on good memories from childhood. The weather outside was perfect for a day in May of 2023, so it was an excellent reflection of the long history of Butler County, Ohio, where the city of Hamilton had seen so much history, lots of good days and rough times to say the least and of course, the river flows by regardless of what human beings cause themselves by way of trouble. And the topic that Nancy and I were set to talk about, captured well in the video above, was historic trouble. The short story was that Butler County and nearby Clermont County were being penalized for being affluent areas that had recently enjoyed dramatic economic growth. It made an easy target for the new Ohio Tax Commissioner, Patricia Harris, in trying to correct the many sins of the past, where the government had kicked the can down the road over a long period of time. She had decided that there was nowhere left to kick it. So this wasn’t something that just happened well before Nancy Nix took over in Butler County in the very important auditor position, this crisis was brewing, and now it was splashed all over headlines from a recent I-Team report that indicated property values in Butler County were going to go up by a recommended 42%. That meant that property values for a $250,000 house were suddenly going to be at $355,000, an increase of $105,000. And people were not happy about it.

At Thanksgiving Dinner, such news might sound great; people might even open a bottle of wine at the success of their investments in real estate. Suddenly things on paper looked much better, and their homes were worth a lot more. But in Butler County, regarding 8 of the ten school districts, there would be tax increases proportional to that value increase which was going to impact homeowners negatively. For instance, the school district of Ross, right across the river from Nancy’s office, as we spoke about this matter and looked in that direction, they just had a vote to defeat a tax increase for that school. The levy had failed for the third time. But now, because of this news from the Ohio Department of Taxation, Ross is holding off on trying for another levy because they will gain a lot of new revenue from the new tax rates of these inflated property values. That’s the kind of thing that has people so upset, and for good reason. In a lot of ways, the recommendation from the state is taking away a fundamental right of property owners to manage their local governments by essentially taking extra tax money without a vote, with just a decision by the state to calculate these varying percentages based on sales data recorded during a very turbulent time that does not represent the norm.   According to the state, which then imposes the percentage rate onto auditors like Nancy Nix, they take a three-year sales reflection of what they think is market value during their state-mandated triennial update. But for this one, that analysis period was one of the worst in the history of the world. Looking at sales from 2019, where America had one of the best economies in human history, then the following year with Covid lockdowns, then the volatility of runaway interest rates resulting from the Biden presidency and the economic tampering of several government controls, the data collected is far from the norm, and has resulted in these crazy recommendations which Nancy Nix and other auditors are questioning, aggressively. 

And as bad as all that news was, it was still a good day from the vantage point of Nancy’s office as we talked about the many proactive measures that she and area legislators were doing to help solve the problem. Regarding that, a new Fox 19 article had hit, and I was talking to Senator George Lang about it, where he is proposing a way to change how Ohio’s property values are reassessed, which is obviously needed. Politics aside, Patricia Harris, the Ohio Tax Commissioner, had just been appointed in January of 2023 and obviously could use more time on the job before destroying everyone’s tax bills based on some bad data compiled during her first few months on the job. And George’s proposal as a legislative solution would definitely help her and the people connected to her decision. But the Ohio Department of Taxation itself, according to the spokesman Gary Gudmondson was already headed down the wrong road by digging in with obviously flawed data by saying, “We don’t change our recommendations in response to a county complaint.” What he means is that the Ohio Department of Taxation doesn’t listen to people like Nancy Nix, professionals who have been doing this kind of work for most of their adult lives. Instead, her job was to listen to what they recommended and live with it because they held all the cards. 

Yet, there is optimism on the legislative front; in addition to the good work that George Lang is leading, there have been further meetings involving Sara Carruthers, Rodney Creech, Jennifer Gross, and Thomas Hall. Treasurer Mike McNamara, Clerk of Courts Mary Swain, and Recorder Danny Crank are working aggressively to propose short-term and long-term solutions. Some of them are legislative, such as what George is working on. Some would involve amendments to the State Constitution, which are obviously long overdue. Others are things that Nancy Nix and the names mentioned can do as proactive measures. It’s not all bad news. But ultimately, these rate hikes are the result of years of government mismanagement from the state level imposed on regional government, where the most accountability to the voting public is supposed to be the key to all decision-making. But in this case, stuck against the cost of volatile bad decisions, especially during the Covid period, the impact of those decisions is not flowing into people’s property value assessments which are being penalized because they live in areas that were disproportionately well off in relation to other parts of the state that didn’t do so well. And now, we must sort it all out in a way that makes Ohio an attractive place to continue investing in. Otherwise, people might leave for destinations without these kinds of problems. The burden falls on the Ohio Tax Commissioner to develop better strategies for recovering costs from kicking the can down the road for so long and analyzing the market temperament correctly with a better sampling than what the last three years have shown, as they were the worst three years in the history of life on planet earth. And that isn’t the fault of innocent people who have lived in their homes for a long time and plan to stay in their homes. This is the task that I think Nancy Nix is doing a great job of representing Butler County under very turbulent times. But like the history of Hamilton itself and the Great Miami River that flows past her office, we are living history that will be remembered for a long time to come, and that history is made better by some of the great people who are tackling this problem aggressively in defense of the innocent who might otherwise be victims of bad government, such as we are seeing now with the Ohio Department of Taxation in its first few months of a new commissioner.

A Government That Will Kill Political Rivals: The Kennedy assassination wasn’t a conspiracy after all

Robert Kennedy is running for president, and he has been saying a lot about the assassination of his uncle, JFK, President Kennedy. As it turns out, the Oliver Stone film JFK starring Kevin Costner wasn’t a conspiracy theory after all. Kennedy is saying that the CIA was unquestionably involved in the murder of President Kennedy, and coming from him, that’s no small statement. People have been wondering about it for years. When documents were declassified a few years ago, during Trump’s administration, it was revealed that the CIA had been involved, and now we have presidential candidates on both sides of the political debate talking about it. Many of the people involved at the time are now dead or in some sort of retirement where they are insulated from the ramifications. It’s a story that took 60 years to get out, but at least it finally did, and it has turned out to be everything and more than what the conspiracy theories had been discussing. The idea that Lee Harvey Oswald, the lone gunman, did the entire killing on his own, ostentatiously in front of a crowd in Texas, was always a stretch. The CIA had been suspected, but most people couldn’t imagine that people from the American government would ever do such a terrible thing. Yet they did, and through the declassification of the records, we know that the CIA played a significant role in killing an American president. 

As messy as that assassination was, the killings continued, including Robert Kennedy’s father. Now the son, Bobby Kennedy Jr., wrote the great book The Real Anthony Fauci that I have been raving about for more than a year. It’s a book with the goods on the who, what, when, where, and how regarding Covid and its conspirators who did much worse than the CIA did during the Kennedy assassination. And he had his own father murdered a few years later as he was an attorney general poking into a lot of mob activity. The government killings continued throughout the 60s, but the public was catching on, so they turned to law-fare when it came to getting rid of Nixon, which Hillary Clinton was able to see up close, where legal terrorists and judges were able to conspire to do much the same thing, kill off a popular president in Nixon and destroy him without blowing off half of his head in front of a crowd on national television. They killed Nixon while he was still alive to wave goodbye to everyone. But whether a political assassination was physical, as it was in Kennedy’s case, or literal, as it was in Nixon’s case, we know for sure that we have a fourth branch of government funded by the American taxpayer, who intends to rule us all by force and to protect the concept of globalism by removing the pick of the American taxpayers when they disagree with who ends up in the White House. And they are playing for keeps, no jokes. Their message to the rest of us is of no tolerance, and they are willing to abuse their authority without fear of recourse. Their clear assumption is that they are in control, that constitutional violations are not of their concern, and that they represent a greater good as defined by global liberalism rather than the intent of the American people. 

And we saw a continuation of this culture of killing where they essentially tried the same kind of law-fare that was successful with Nixon and applied it to Trump. Now that the Durham Report is out, we see to what extent all the highest levels of political power were involved in trying to set up an entirely fictional story about President Trump having a relationship with Russia. The CIA, the FBI, and many others connected to those fourth branch of unelected bureaucratic killers played the same game with Trump that they did with Nixon, only Trump punched back where Nixon simply resigned for the country’s sake. And the more that Trump punched back, the deeper into the playbook of tyranny these Administrative State terrorists had to go. Obviously, the FBI had picked Hillary Clinton as their president, and they would do anything to make that happen, which was revealed by some of the agents under the pressure of performance. And it only got worse the more that Trump fought back, leading us to over seven years of detrimental conduct that showed just how terrible many of this fourth branch of government types really are. And to make it worse, they had a sympathetic ear from the media, actually more of a complicit partner where globalism was the goal at the expense of American sovereignty. And they didn’t care what damage they caused to people to preserve their system. They didn’t care who they destroyed, what lies they had to tell, or what an embarrassment to the rest of the world it may cause our nation. What we saw applied to Trump was the same kind of menace that had been there essentially from the beginning. And they had become so arrogant over time that they no longer felt they needed to contain the information from the public. They have so much disdain for the public and so much power that they simply don’t fear anybody finding out how bad they really are. 

The message here is that a government that will kill political rivals with violent murder in front of the world is a government that will do anything to stay in power. And any doubt anybody had about election fraud in 2020, or any other time, is that these same people have also made themselves involved in that business. If there were any doubt about it, in the form of conspiracy theories, then the same path of resolution we saw over the Kennedy assassination would unfold in much the same way. After 60 years and many of the people who were involved die off and retire out of harm’s way, the admissions will slowly start to come forth. But in essence, we have a government that investigates itself, so nobody will ever be caught. Murders will go unsolved, and the temptation for abuse of authority is all too lucrative, which is essentially what the Durham Report says in its 130 pages. “We know there is a crime here, but there is no political will to do anything about it because the fourth branch of government is really in charge, and if you question them, they’ll kill you one way or another.” And a government with that kind of attitude is dangerous. They are not working on behalf of voters or taxpayers but from acquired power stolen from those people for the benefit of hostile, foreign characters. So, of course, they were involved in stealing our election. Of course, they were engaged in spreading Covid authoritarian style assassinations of millions of innocent people to gain the ability to take down a president, which is becoming apparent with the Department of Defense interactions through the Wuhan Lab in China and the Chinese government in general. These are ruthless people who must be removed from their positions of terror, and that will be no small task.

They Hate Trump Because He Recognized Jerusalem as the Capital of Israel: The ancient evil at the heart of everything

Of course, there is more to the extreme hatred of President Trump than just that the Liberal World Order can’t control him. There are some really evil people out there, many of them have embedded themselves into our government taking advice from past trends of known history, and they hate Trump because of the high bar he brings with him. The level of expectation that a person like him from the capitalist private sector imposes on the communist central government types who strive to be professional bureaucrats who do very little all their lives but expect to make small fortunes off the taxpayers. No, it’s much more profound than any of that, and it essentially goes back to the beginning of known time, when the God Yahweh had an ancient battle of rebellion against the Mesopotamian God Baal and his ensemble of detrimental deities, Moloch, Ishtar, Marduk, and many others. If you know your biblical history, you know that Abraham was born in Mesopotamia and was picked by God to inhabit the promised land, which became the land of Canaan, named after the seed of Adam, the famous Cain. God picked this land as the territory that would contain the eventual descendants of Israel, and the rest was history. The fight over this particular stretch of land which goes back tens of thousands of years, much longer than traditional historical dates have recognized, and it essentially embodies the rebellion of Yahweh to wrestle control of the region away from Baal. To biblical purists who think of Yahweh as an all-powerful god who created the universe, the context is that God was very frustrated with his chosen band of rebels whom he rescued from Egyptian tyranny and handed through great force and bloodshed the land of Israel, which they never seemed to appreciate. Every time God turned his back, it seemed like the people of Israel were always cheating on him with the worship of Baal, which continues to this very day behind the backdrop of Middle Eastern politics.

If you read the Quran, it becomes very obvious that it was written around 610 AD as an Arab response to the Christian Bible put together by the Council of Nicaea 325 AD to create the Bible as we know it today. Clearly, the Quran was putting their own names and stories to the Biblical characters to hijack the rebellion that created Israel and to inspire their people to continue the ancient fight over the land of Canaan, specifically the reverence to the Kaaba stone in Mecca that dates to the stories of Adam in the Garden of Eden. Behind all this is the worship of the God Baal, who wears the mask by the name of Allah in the Quran, Alif Lam Mim, the (All-Knowing). I don’t know anybody else saying that; I say it based on a tremendous amount of research and working out this problem over several decades. But to take a lot of circumstances and to place it all within a framework of understanding, this is a strategy that we see happening currently behind the movement of radical Islam, the efforts of the World Economic Forum, and global politics as we interact with it. When we ask the question, why do people hate each other so much? What is the difference between Western and Eastern civilization? It all points back to this essential element. Israel and the founding of it became the foundations of Western civilization. But it didn’t come first; it evolved out of rebellion, of Yahweh rebelling against the other pantheon of ancient gods such as Baal, Moloch, Ishtar, and many others, Earth’s first inhabitants. And the trend and desire to shut down that rebellion and to put the world back into the control of those sacrificial gods of destruction and mayhem. When we look at Jerusalem’s history, especially at the Temple Mount, and see how the Islamic faith currently occupies it with the Dome of the Rock and threats of war at any moment over the claim to that fame, we see this ancient rivalry in full play as it always was. 

Islam is an oriental religion, essentially, where the emphasis is on collectivism and the worship of all the old pagan deities under the umbrella of Allah. For instance, the strategy for the U.S. government to embrace radical Islam but reject Christianity is rooted in this essential difference. Western civilization developed the individual and even created a savior in Jesus Christ to be placed equal to God during his time on Earth, which is an appropriate metaphor for all of Western Civilization, especially America. Where the goal of Islam is to find reverence in the muddy middle, never to elevate one’s mind to such a lofty perspective. For the world’s governments, this is what they want in the people they want to rule over, compliance, meekness, servitude. So, Islam serves tyrannical governments much better than Christianity. But essentially, if you look at the world, the gods of the Indus Valley, going all the way over to China, Indonesia, Polynesia, the early Americas, South and North, the pagan gods are all essentially the same, and they all expected out of mankind the same type of cult of sacrifice and reverence. It was that crazy lunatic Yahweh that decided to break away and create Western civilization out of a land he decided was the promised land which then became the land of Israel. 

With all that in mind, then it could be understood that there was a lot of consternation in the world when fresh out of World War II, and sympathies were very high because of the terrible mistreatment of the Jews by Hitler, to give those poor people a state of their own. So, Harry Truman, a fan of the Bible, went against many of his advisors and supported the United Nations’ resolution to create the state of Israel in 1947. Of course, this greatly angered the Palestinians, who have been at war with the concept of Christianity and the laws of Yahweh for many thousands of years. Then lining up with the Jubilee calendar in 2017, President Trump did what no other president had done: further recognize Israel as a state of its own, but that he acknowledged Jerusalem as the capital. Then, to make matters worse, Trump also put an American embassy there. This was an act of war to the rest of the world, and for those behind the Muslim radicalism of terror campaigns to turn the world away from personal courage and back to the worship of Baal behind the mask of Allah, this was devastating. So, we have seen since a radical campaign of all-out war against Western civilization because of the reality of Trump recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel an intense hatred and globalism strategy toward the destruction of all traces of such support. Israel is the defining symbol of Western civilization and the stated efforts of the God Yahweh. And now, Trump and Trump’s presidency have shown the world how quickly Western culture could dominate the old pagan beliefs and scare them. As ugly as it is these days, the thing to know is that it’s only that way because President Trump stirred up the bee’s nest by recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and that Western civilization is far from being destroyed, and the old gods of Baal worship are not close to being implemented on a global scale. America still stands in defiance, and Trump represents that ancient defiance in ways that the Eastern cultures don’t understand or appreciate. Yet to understand it for all its true intentions, Islam is only a mask for Baal worship which has always been the villain of all civilization, everywhere, throughout all recorded time.

Freedom is More Important than Money: Fox News and Corporate Communism will lose as history remembers

There continues to be an almost cult-like reverence at the firing of Tucker Carlson from Fox News, as if controlling a person’s employment reassured the Liberal World Order that they could control what people thought and did. After all, that is precisely how the system is designed under the new China rules for global communism. There is an institutional assurance to themselves that they are in control and can punish people of contrary thought by controlling them economically. If they can’t control people literally with their means of making a living, then through digital currency, they hope to shut people off from participating. Then, of course, they fantasize that they will control the entire world as a small minority by essentially controlling the means of making a living. If the goal of Karl Marx, which is the inherited system the Chinese adopted, and the World Economic Forum is seeking to implement it through every corporation by controlling finance through companies like BlackRock was to control the means of production, then this newer method of centralized control of people’s incomes takes that goal to a much different level. So there was much celebrating when Fox News listened to criticisms and finally fired Tucker Carlson from the number one-rated television show on cable prime time after a settlement with Dominion. They thought they had silenced Tucker and punished all critics of this Liberal World Order almost as if it were a sensual delight. Tucker was gone from Fox News, and the bad guys out there thought they had done something to protect themselves from people like Tucker and the MAGA movement’s growth. But I had a very different opinion and one that is worth perspective. 

The first thing I said about the Tucker Carlson firing at Fox News was that I was happy for him because it must have been frustrating to bend his show around Rupert Murdoch’s and his family’s obvious philosophy. Fox News has always been politics-lite, going back to Bill O’Reilly. It was more conservative than the other stations, which had been trending toward the communist left since the 90s. But it was never representative of mainstream America. There has always been this fantasy that is at the core strategy of this corporate communism movement, which Fox News has obviously bought into, which believes that the content providers create culture and not the market demand of the public. This is a fundamental difference between communism and capitalism. For instance, I think the most recent John Wick movie is one of the best movies ever made. I didn’t see one trace of Woke behavior in it; fans have rewarded it with great box office numbers. However, the belief is that if the communist mind takes over the entire entertainment industry and that people will not have any choice but to go and see their offerings that are filled with all kinds of government propaganda and liberal utterances, that the public will still show up and consume their product because they are bored and will do anything no matter what the quality of the product is. Which, of course, is blowing up in their face. This problem of there always being some kind of John Wick hitting the market need of the public is something that the controllers of the World Economic Forum who want open Chinese-style communism don’t understand. And that is why they were perplexed at the tremendous support that Tucker Carlson had when he announced he was going to continue his show on Twitter. They thought that if they controlled the platform for speech, they could control what people thought and consumed. They are not prepared for competition.

And yet that is the key to a moral society; it’s one that has competition in it for the attention of the masses. I realized this up close and personal several times in my life. Well before Tucker Carlson had a very high-profile de-platforming strategy utilized against him, I have been through it several times. I’ve been doing these kinds of things for a long time, writing, speaking, and undercutting government centralized authority systems, and I’ve seen every kind of attempt to deplatform me hoping to change my behavior. And what I discovered, even if I always knew it in the back of my mind, was that people like options, especially options in thinking. And given a choice, they will always explore those choices. This has been the problem with communism from the start. It’s one thing to impose communism on a suppressed culture of poor people, which is undoubtedly the case in China. The Chinese people have always been more compliant, and to their own defense, they don’t know any better than what the current communist government is offering them. The ability to have an air conditioner and a car is an amazing concept, so a very authoritarian government is not something they would know to question. But in America, that’s a different story. Choice is the key to culture and to economic power. Choice is expected, even demanded. So controls over the supply chain, entertainment options, and even news feeds are failing dramatically, and much of that desperation can be seen in Fox News firing their number one personality, as if sacrificing something very valuable to them would win them appeasement in the circles of this Liberal World Order. 

With his new Twitter show, Tucker Carlson will be free and gain a much larger audience than this modern cord-cutting public would otherwise give him. And if there was one primary thing that was driving the MAGA movement in general, it has been the decentralizing of news. That has certainly been the case with me. I’ve had offers from everywhere to run my own radio show. I used to do a lot of work with Clear Channel in Cincinnati and Michigan as a spot filler. And to host shows that were already known in established markets. But I have found running my own media is much more valuable. Not having the limits imposed by some dimwit corporate pinhead is worth more than the wages otherwise earned.

There are many ways to make money, especially for a person like me, and there are always people willing to pay because when you are a valuable personality, there is always someone who wants that value. And that is certainly the case with Tucker Carlson, who would be lucky to see 4 million viewers on a good night. He will be able to reach more people than that with his own news show, so I’m sure he’s happy about it. He will find he can do more and talk about more without trying to stay in the lines of what Fox News established for its employees. I was surprised that Tucker stayed with it as long as he did. I suppose the paycheck was good, but for people like him, he can make 20 million dollars anywhere. The limits were otherwise too frustrating to him, and you can see this last year he has almost been daring Fox News to fire him, to free him from his confines. Which I fully understand. Freedom is often much more valuable than money if all things are otherwise equal. And that is where this corporate communism model will ultimately fail and be laughed at in the memory of history.

Bill Barr’s Comments About Trump: A “Horror Show” is exactly what the American people want

Chaos is good when you have a culture that needs change. Chaos is only harmful to those being affected by the change. For those seeking change, chaos is their best friend. So in that context, the comments by Bill Barr, the former Attorney General for President Trump, who was a known RINO from the start, left over from the Bush administration, when he talks about chaos negatively and indicates that a second Trump term would be a horror show, are understandable. I’ll go on to say that there is a lot of evidence that our intelligence agencies, working with many forces, were behind the rigged election of 2020, and that is not an acceptable condition, and Bill Barr is fully aware of it. But they felt justified in what they did because they wanted to do it to preserve a gig they have in the Beltway that employs so many people. Bill Barr went on to say that President Trump had some good policies but would not be able to implement them because Trump was incapable of thinking in a linear fashion and working with other people to get things done as the system allowed.

So regarding the comments, I was grateful that Barr said them because it is a kind of smoking gun over the entire issue of whether we actually have free elections or not in America and who is motivated to rig elections. Bill Barr played his part by refusing to investigate the obvious problems in voter counts that were being reported to the Attorney General.  Trump picked Bill Barr because Jeff Sessions had not been effective as a representative of the President’s positions, as other Attorney Generals had been. Trump picked Barr to appease his critics, as he was under continuous investigation; otherwise, he might have picked someone more representative of his positions. Regarding all that, a lot was revealed in Barr’s statements that is worth considering. 

Trump has a proven track record for solving problems, which was most evident in his television show, which nobody has been able to duplicate, The Apprentice, which is nearly impossible to find in syndication anywhere. It was only the top-rated show on television for 14 years, and when Trump ran for President, NBC tried to use Arnold Schwarzenegger instead of Trump, and the show crashed quickly. Nobody could do what Trump had done on that show that was so popular with audiences. And that is because human beings create static cultures for themselves to protect known assumptions, especially when they discover that they benefit from those assumptions. Therefore, when a culture is said to become corrupt, it is because a system becomes rigged to help the participants at the expense of innovation and general culture investment. And in almost every company in the world, from a small business mom-and-pop shop to a giant corporation, a static culture will always grow for good or evil, and the measures of those designations decide the success or failure of the enterprise. Trump as a business person, a very successful one, understands these kinds of things, so Americans clearly picked him over the Beltway desire of Hillary Clinton. The intelligence community obviously had other ideas, this fourth branch of government was filled with unelected bureaucrats, and in 2020 that election had many obvious problems that are still unresolved. It was noticeable in our free society as opposed to places around the world that aren’t so free, and Bill Barr found himself stuck between loyalty to the office of the President, which he takes seriously, and the preservation of the Beltway culture that is isolated from the concerns of the rest of the world. 

If you’ve ever been to Washington D.C., you will have seen that the region around that capital city is filled with extremely wealthy people, most of them working in the structure of Beltway culture. They live off taxpayers’ efforts and are hedged from the concerns of diabolical economic decisions created by that same Beltway culture. For them, the value of their existence is the Washington D.C. culture which employs them with bureaucratic jobs, rates of pay that are entirely too high, and there are too many people working in that system taking money. Government is way too big, employs too many people, and costs too much for what they do. And to preserve themselves, they need to keep out opinions to the contrary, who see the situation as a bloated monstrosity of inefficiency and corruption. Someone who has worked in the world at solving those very problems cannot be allowed in to disrupt that culture, which is what Bill Barr was saying as a protector of that system. Washington, D.C., is filled with hundreds of thousands of people just like Bill Barr, so any reform to that culture is a significant threat to their very existence. And that is what a second term of Trump would bring, chaos and destruction to that “Drain the Swamp” mentality, and to be honest, many people in the swamp want to remain hidden. And our intelligence agencies, who have been caught killing presidents, rigging elections around the world, overthrowing governments, and causing a lot of disorder everywhere for the benefit of the Beltway culture, were not just going to allow people to pick their President and bring disruption and chaos to their lives. What Bill Barr was warning about to the audience that he was speaking it to is precisely the kind of thing that the American people want to see happen. 

I would say that the Beltway culture could be reduced to 10% of what it is presently. (meaning a 90% layoff of the present employee structure) The recent acquisition of Twitter by Elon Musk is a good example of a micro-culture that had a lot of top-heavy costs sucking off the company in devastating ways to that culture. It was good for them as a job but bad for the efficiency of the company and the end user, the consumer. Musk was able to remove most of the employees and still run the company effectively, and that has stirred up a lot of people who are upset with Musk as an employer because he embraces chaos so intently. But to any executive who gets it, chaos is a manager’s best friend regardless of politics. It shows you where the problems are and indicates how to fix them. And in successful cultures, Trump has managed chaos to significant effect, and people voted for him to go to the Beltway culture, slash many of the jobs there, and drain the swamp. But the Beltway, with all their highly paid useless government jobs, don’t want that chaos because they are hiding behind it with all their jobs that are essentially destroying our government. It’s great for them, but not good for the country. So when Bill Barr was critical of the “horror show” of another Trump presidency, which looks to be evident at this point, that is what he and others are so worried about. The American people want the corrupt employees and politicians of the Beltway culture to be scared. So a horror show is precisely what we want. We don’t like corruption. We don’t like that they don’t represent us. And we are sick of paying for a mess and want a change. And that is why a Trump Horror Show is exactly what voters want, and more!

Does Anybody Love Joe Biden: It would be terrible to live his life

Taking a step back from politics for a moment and considering the life of Joe Biden, I wouldn’t say that I have sympathy for him. On many levels, I have a distinct hatred for people like Joe Biden for many reasons that we’ll get into here. But I do feel sorry for him, sorry for such a disastrous life lived, for who he has become. For the kids he has. The life he has led. I feel sorry for him that he can’t look in the mirror and be proud of what looks back at him. I think I would feel sorry for anybody in that condition, especially at the end of their life after many years of living it and not deciding to become a person that people love. Because the real problem with Joe Biden the most obvious question is, does anybody in his life really love him? Has Joe Biden ever known love or what it feels like to be loved? Has he ever sat at the dinner table and enjoyed being loved for who he is, rather than people telling him that because they wanted something from him? Joe Biden certainly isn’t unique to this problem, but since he is President of the United States, we get to watch him every day, and his life is an open book to the degree that we know even small details about his life which then provoke the question, is there anybody who really loves him. And I say that because I saw a nice note yesterday from Yuna Lee, the television anchor who was married to my friend Doc Thompson. She’s a very beautiful young lady, and I remember when they married because he was fired from Clear Channel while they were on their honeymoon over political wokeness on many levels. Doc has been dead for a number of years now; he was hit by a train while jogging. He had been working for Glenn Beck at the time. Well, it was his birthday, and Yuna put up a sweet tribute to him, wishing him a nice birthday in heaven. I would say that what they had was real love, something that even transcends death. But is there anybody in Joe Biden’s life like that? I think the obvious answer is no.

Sure, many people would say, but he’s the most powerful politician in the world. He’s been in politics for a long time and was the VP under President Obama. And he has a Corvette right next to all the classified documents that he had in his garage. For a lot of people, they would consider that a successful life. But, and this became very obvious during the Democrat primary in South Carolina, where Biden suddenly jumped out in the lead over the other rivals, Joe has always sold himself as the “yes man.” As a simple whore who would sell his integrity for a pack of gum, and when things were tough during that primary, and nobody was stepping out, it’s evident that the Deep State types saw that there needed to be a front-runner. A deal was made with the rivals to step out, and Biden found himself propped up and ahead for many reasons, none of them good. A decision was made to put compromised Joe into the White House to stave off the populist movement that was developing in America. So Joe was the guy with his hand up, and with his family history and all the compromises a life lived poorly has over him, he made himself a great target for the powerful to use to impose their authority controls over American society as a kind of Trojan Horse. 

With all that known, Biden didn’t earn the White House through merit. And much of his life has been that way, including his marriage to Jill. Looking at Joe Biden’s life, there aren’t many moments where he earned something good because he was the better person. Instead, he was given titles because he was willing to be a compromised asset. And then, by acquiring that power, he could sell it to outside influence. So the game became, achieve the highest offices you can, then selling that access would then grant him more personal wealth. You don’t get to acquire the kind of wealth Joe Biden did as a public servant all his life by not selling out. Joe Biden didn’t have vast private sector experience making much money before running for public office. Instead, he has spent his whole life selling his titles to contributors who wanted access, and that is the role his son, Hunter Biden, played in setting up that access, which is quite evident in the Hunter Biden laptop scandal that was suppressed before the election to contain the narrative. The same kind of intelligence influence that suddenly propped him up in that South Carolina primary. It’s a phony game that he allows himself to be the face of, and he gets financial power in return. 

Then it becomes evident that the people in his life only cared about his financial power gained as a looting politician. Choice, love, and respect are attributes that are missing from Joe Biden’s life, all his life. Now he’s a rambling old man who has told so many lies over the years that he doesn’t know which one he is talking about. And the people around him are there for the power he has acquired as a sell-out, not because they love him. People happy with those kinds of choices tend to be not very good people themselves, as is obvious from Hunter Biden and the stories of Joe’s daughter who wrote in her diary that she took showers with her dad. The FBI stepped in and tried to suppress that information to preserve the narrative. So when you look at Joe Biden’s life, he is surrounded by people who want to use his power and position for their own purposes. For what they can get out of the relationship. They don’t have a relationship with Joe Biden because they love him. They only care about Joe Biden because of what they can get from him, including the globalists, the Democrat Party, his children, his wife, and the labor unions. They only like him because he has acquired power. And Joe apparently knew this early in his life, so he worked to compromise himself to acquire more power so that people would like him. He has obviously never had a life where people liked him because he was likable. And to fill the void, he has had to make up all this fake backstory about his life. It would be a terrible way to live. It certainly isn’t the kind of love Yuna had for my friend Doc Thompson. And that certainly isn’t the only example. But when Joe does move into the realm of death, will anybody remember him for who he was? Or will they simply move on to the next sell-out? Well, the answer to that is in their behavior while he’s alive. He’s obviously struggling as an elderly person, and everyone around him is letting him because his power and position is the only thing they value about him. And if he makes a fool out of himself while doing it, they’re fine with that. Because they only care about what they get from Joe Biden. They don’t care about the guy himself, which is a very sad condition.

The Way to Have Honest Elections: Just call Frank LaRose in Ohio, and he can show you how

How could anybody not think that election fraud is a real problem? After all, look at the amount of money that is at stake, the enemy countries out there who want to put people sympathetic to their cause in our government for leverage. Likely, election fraud has been a significant problem the entire time that mass media has been involved in the conduct of our election cycles. We should be looking for cheating everywhere, all the time. And to maintain secure elections, we must take the process seriously, and that just hasn’t been happening. The election fraud of 2020 goes way beyond hurt feelings that Donald Trump didn’t win and that Republicans didn’t maintain control of the White House. The fraud was so ostentatious that it was no longer speculation of election fraud but a grim reality and to what extent it was occurring. Obviously, there were political class members on both sides who wanted to see election fraud happen to maintain their control over the government institutions themselves. Mitch McConnell comes to mind, as do people like Bill Barr: the FBI, the corporate boards of major media companies. What we had once suspected was now a confirmed reality, and now in the wake of all that a few years ago now, there are still those who want to deny that it did happen so that they can continue to benefit from the rigged system and allow global influences to manipulate American interests for the goals of insurgents hostile to the American idea.

Yet the solution is relatively simple now that we know what we know, and rather than argue with people about election fraud and deal with all the many court cases that are required to fix it, there is no hope of such a thing happening by the time of the 2024 election. So what is anybody supposed to do? With such a massive election fraud machine that literally has millions and millions of greedy hands in it to manipulate toward controlled advantage, what options can a government that is supposed to be ruled by the people utter to save its election system from the barbarous pirates of finance and political discourse? Well, I happen to know Frank LaRose, the Ohio Secretary of State, a bit, and I would gladly put you in touch with him to learn what he has done in Ohio to secure elections. I would say that what Frank has done in Ohio toward the goal of election integrity should be the standard for the rest of the nation to follow, and it’s all very simple. Of course, the bad guys are suing him left and right because they know how good his policies are for secure elections, and they are hoping to see his methods overturned in court by the 2024 presidential election because, in the game of “lawfare” the way liberals like to fight, they have no chance of winning any Democrat seats in Ohio without election fraud. So they are in a bit of a panic. The two best things that Frank LaRose has done to secure elections is to mandate a photo ID that is government issued. That can be a driver’s license or just a card issued for free by the BMV. Very easy to get and is the basic way to ensure that the person voting is who they are. The second thing that is done in Ohio is probably the most important, which is a real problem in this modern age of early voting, is that vote counts need to be counted by election day, not many days after. 

The way the game works, and it’s a well-thought-out scam that Democrats and some Republicans have fully endorsed over the years under the banner of “fairness,” is that mail-in ballots were ripe for fraud because they could be added or subtracted depending on what the final vote count margin actually was. In Ohio, there is early voting, but the general rule is that everyone must put their pencils down by election night, and the vote counts are due. Ohio achieves this by inputting those votes into the system as they come in so that by election night, they can be part of the vote. States like Pennsylvania don’t start counting those votes until election day, which is how this mess of counting votes days after the election began, and election results were not known on election day but days later. States that continue counting after the election, which was the case in several state races involving congressional seats, already know the margin they need to put their favorite person over the top, so they keep counting mail-in ballots until they reach their target. And if they don’t have enough actual mail-in ballots, they make them up until they do. That’s simply no way to manage any accurate election, and it has purposely opened the door to rampant election fraud. Remember when Pennsylvania, over the weeks after the election came up with a million extra votes to put Joe Biden over President Trump? And the courts didn’t want to touch the case because it would open up the entire system to a complete lashing, and nobody had the stomach for it. Frank LaRose was brought in to testify how Ohio managed, and many in the process know this little trade secret. But admitting to it would essentially commit thousands of well-respected people to a guilty plea of sedition against our country. Election fraud is serious, and many people went way too far and got caught doing it. The most recent example is the monstrosity in Arizona with Katie Hobbs, who essentially managed her own election. Good election security essentially comes down to having a good secretary of state. If you don’t have one, you can forget about it. It’s that serious.

But rather than cry about it, just fix it. If everyone wants to prove they have honest elections, then at least ensure that early ballots are counted by election day, like in Ohio. And that will stop this trend of counting votes after election day, as we have seen becoming a major problem over the last two elections. Democrats knew what they were planning to do to cheat the 2020 election; they warned us ahead of time that Trump would appear to win in a landslide and that over the following weeks, Joe Biden would pull out the win. Well, they did that because they knew what the voting margin was that they had to come up with regarding fake votes. And that was their strategy all along, and why they allow their candidates to run their campaigns in their basement because they really think people are so stupid that they won’t see what they are up to. The best thing is to remove the temptation to cheat by ensuring that results are counted by election day and not after the results are known. The gap was so significant in Pennsylvania that this problem became apparent. So in the future, for those who want honest elections, just let me know, and I can put you in contact with Frank LaRose, and he can help your state run a fair election. And you better do it before 2024 because Democrats are planning to cheat again wherever they can. It’s part of their campaign strategy disguised as some “get out the vote” effort. But in reality, it’s just planned fraud, and the way to keep them from doing it is with some simple ground rules. And by doing as Ohio has, voter integrity will become much better. And the election results will be noticeably improved.
