Lakota Gives Teachers Raises Mandating a Tax Levy in 2022: Lynda O’Conner stands alone against a wave of liberalism
I remember watching Brad Lovell’s campaign material on what he thought a school board was for. I wasn’t going to make a big deal about his naivete, I didn’t care much about the issue so long as Lakota wasn’t asking for more money, but I was embarrassed for him. He stated he wanted to get elected to the school board to support the leadership staff at Lakota, such as the current superintendent, the treasurer, etc. The school board’s role is to manage the district and provide that leadership, not to punt to chaos and let the teacher’s union run the school. And after the late Monday night vote of April 26th, it was only Lynda O’Connor who voted against even more raises for the latest teacher’s contract. In voting yes, Brad and three other school board members, including the current President Kelley Casper, who is up for reelection this year, have guaranteed that there will be another Lakota tax levy in 2022. They will wait to put the levy up for a vote because it will be between elections for the school board members. They’ll have to due to the massive deficit spending that Lakota has been engaging in over the last several years. Only Lynda O’Conner has shown any interest in managing the money of Lakota. On the other hand, Brad and Julie Shaffer have turned over all that responsibility to the “leadership team,” which they seem to have forgotten, works for them as elected representatives.
There were options, with the way that Covid has been, this would have been an excellent time to play chicken with the train of the Lakota Education Association. They have very little leverage currently to use a strike to dispute a lack of labor contract. The market conditions being what they are now could challenge a lot of the payroll that Lakota is committed to and force some legacy teachers to retire early. Parents, after all, have become used to not having a school to take their kids to due to Covid problems, so the brand of Lakota would at least have withstood some scrutiny. And given that Lakota is a destination community for many people, it would not be hard to replace any fresh out of college teachers and full of vigor for the job, making about half the wages of a legacy teacher of $100K or more. Those are management decisions, hard ones, but the kind of decisions that we elect school board members to conduct on our behalf. Instead, what happened was that only Lynda O’Conner had the guts to vote no on a new teacher contract that has unjustified raises contained within it. The rest of the school board caved to the teacher union demands and have signed us all up for a levy fight next year. Brad and Kelly are up for reelection this year, so that’s not a good time to put a levy on the ballot. And in two years, Julie Shaffer will be up for reelection. That makes next year for a levy to be just suitable for the politics of the school board at Lakota that is much more concerned about making progressive, expensive, and overrated teachers happy rather than working on behalf of the community to keep costs in check in a challenging time.
Many people who are voters in Lakota have been seriously restricted in their professional lives, going without pay increases since Covid started, or they have lost their jobs due to layoffs or forced early retirement. Because of Covid, more people are working from home, have learned to do other things with their children since schools were closed, and many of these teachers were home sitting around doing nothing. Simultaneously, the pandemic was used politically to reshape our society into a more progressive one. The voters aren’t going to be too happy to hear that all these teachers are getting a raise and because Lakota didn’t have the money to give them a raise, it’s going to force a tax increase proposal on their property taxes. Due to Joe Biden tax increases, increases in the cost of gas, government tampering with market economy needs, and unemployment that is much higher than when Trump was in the White House, Lakota is planning to demand more money for their lack of leadership with deficit spending.
Lakota had it made; they had a community of high-income wage earners with expensive property and many businesses to tax. They had declining enrollment, which meant they were bringing in more money than they were spending, by quite a lot. That’s why there hasn’t been a levy request since 2013, when the last levy was passed. However, Lakota has managed to deficit spend its way anyway by giving teachers raises over time that wasn’t needed. They are mandating that they now have to ask the community for more money because of their lack of leadership in a changing public education landscape. The pre-Biden administration problems of charter schools are still present. The social movement to attach tax money to children instead of the school district is still a hot topic, and it’s going to change shortly out of necessity. School board members like Brad, Julie, and Kelley at Lakota can drag out the inevitable for a while, but it’s coming quickly, and these reckless spending habits that they are so used to engaging in will be a thing of the past. Soon, Lakota will have to compete with other districts in a very real way, and this kind of behavior in a very suddenly cost-conscious culture where everything is now getting more expensive due to the reckless spending of the Biden administration will change voting patterns dramatically.
But you could hear in Brad’s voice the problem from before he was even elected to the school board. Like many people who run for that office, he has no idea what it’s supposed to be doing. He likes to be someone important in the community; it gives people who want attention something to do. Still, the hard stuff is punted to a superintendent supposed to be working for the school board as the source of leadership. These people want to do the job as long as nothing hard comes up, such as voting on the teacher’s contract. But as we have witnessed, only one school board member voted against it, and she was put under tremendous pressure to vote otherwise. People like Brad Lovell care more about school board uniformity, even if it’s the wrong answer, than in the proper response and arriving there through debate. Then, of course, the LEA teacher’s union knows this going into negotiations. They know they have the votes to approve a raise for their members before the negotiation even begins. Someone like Lynda O’Conner can try to negotiate and draw a hard line, but there was no incentive for the teachers to give up anything. They only know to take, take, take. They know Brad has a wife employed by the school, that he would like to see increases to the payroll budget because it ultimately helps him through his wife. And that is the truth of the matter, something they won’t talk about in the newspapers or nightly news. So prepare yourself for a fight, next year at Lakota, there will be a tax levy. Due to this school board making terrible decisions and spending money that they didn’t have, they were confident they could steal it from the taxpayers due to their selfishness and sheer stupidity.

Public Schools Should Be Prosecuted: Examples of school board members advocating liberal destruction
It is great to see more and more parents speaking out about what happens in their public schools. Early this past week, I provided some stories about my home district of Lakota who expressed themselves over transgender policies that are part of the teacher union progressive political platform. Then, the mom from Georgia unleashed on her school board an excellent speech about removing the mask mandates. The video went viral and brought a lot of attention to the core problem; public schools are not our friends. They are not places of sanctuary and learning centers of intelligence. They are progressive re-education centers that intend for your children to be reprogramed. Government schools plan to reprogram our children. Your society has produced a hopeful lifeform growing up in a healthy community. Public schools want to destroy them into a collective goo of liberalism and dangerous thinking that will destroy our nation from within. They should all be prosecuted for their active role in that corruption. It’s one thing if these school board members didn’t know better and were just well-intentioned malcontents. But there is too much evidence, and it goes on far too often in virtually every public school in our government education system for it to be an accident. The destruction is purposeful. They intend what they do, and that makes it criminal rather than just innocent stupidity.
The mom from Georgia who unleashed her fury with her school board there had a good point. School board members may be frustrated that these young moms are grandstanding in their public speaking forums. I’ve known enough school board members from all over the place to know that school board members don’t come into their roles as corrupt activists for liberal causes. They seek election for those boards to help educate children and play a role in the goodness of their communities as they understand those roles in a “liberal” society. Most of us have been taught that public education is the first ingredient to a successful life and that children must at least stay in school to have a shot at life. That leaves a community member seeking importance well-defined criteria for doing something meaningful. And it’s not easy to be a school board member. Management is complicated and often not very rewarding. Most of the time, especially in a group setting, you leave at the end of a meeting not getting everything you want. An elected body expects disputes with other school board members at the meetings. But it’s hard to disagree with someone you’ve spent a lot of time with, and quickly friendships form. Peer pressure persists. Often, the platform a school board member ran on to get elected gets forgotten and is replaced by state mandates and teacher’s union expectations for progressive causes. And they end up being consumed by the system.
A couple of school board members from my district of Lakota, Julie Shaffer and Brad Lovell, are excellent examples of this problem. I know both of them from the beginning and am pretty sure they meant well. But in the vacancy of intelligence that should come with any leadership position, they have sought to cover their lack of ability with the national trend of radical leftism and masking it with a façade of caring for the district’s children in all the ways that are typical of Democrat politics. They profess to the voters that they are nonpartisan, that politics does not play a role in their decision-making process. But clearly, Julie’s role has always been appeasement of the teacher’s union as a radical mad mom seeking to throw resources at children rather than the hard work of leadership. I debated Julie Shaffer on WLW radio many years ago, and her pro-education views were significantly left-leaning, and she came apart fast while on the air. Recently she has been the advocating voice that has pushed the transgender agenda at Lakota. She didn’t have to, but she went out of her way to put her name on the controversial proposal. Lakota is in a very conservative area, so her actions do not represent the community that elected her. She argues that politics did not play a role in her decision, but the evidence says otherwise. So when a school board member knowingly does something harmful to children, such as adopting a liberal agenda that looks to be destructive to the education position of a public school, isn’t that a prosecutable offense? If you knew about a murder that was planned and you didn’t say anything, isn’t that still a prosecutable occasion? You bet it is, and she is guilty of these accidents. Knowing her, she knew what the transgender policy would do, but she did it anyway, to hell with what people thought. When pressed on the matter, she claims a lack of political partisanship and insists that what she is doing is for the good of all children.
Then there is Brad Lovell, a school board member who used to be a school administrator and is married to a current administrator who makes decisions as a couple who profits a great deal off the public education system itself. The biggest problem with him is that he is tone-deaf to anything that might disrupt the education structure, making it very difficult to have complex opinions about anything. Supposedly his conflict of interest is legal in being married as a member of the board to an active employee, but his actions show the real problem. He has shown no resistance to budget concerns and is always quick to desire to go to the public for more money. He would be well at home in the Joe Biden administration of deficit spending, and we can understand why. As teacher contracts continue to escalate in cost, administrators rise too in cost and make it a very lucrative scam for him as a school board member. He is clearly in the role for the social status it provides him. He has no interest in going against the political tide of transgender politics or taking a stand against Critical Race Theory. And in that neglect, he is responsible for the minds that time will prove to erode under the weight of liberalism. Rather than put community concerns over these matters first, he instead set his needs for income indirectly through his wife as a priority, which is why many of the parents of Lakota are becoming more and more frustrated. He doesn’t want to rock the boat because that’s his life through his wife. But they do; they want someone to care about these issues and to do something about them.
Those are just a few local examples, but every school district could tell the same story, leaving parents frustrated. Rather than listen to the Georgia mom who pleaded with the school board to remove a mask mandate from her child, the committee instead follows the liberal agenda, blames the CDC for the decision, and claims they have no power to do anything about it. They have done the same thing at Lakota, to limit the number of parents who can come to the board meetings and talk; they have used the excuse of social distancing to restrict attendance, citing that it is Governor DeWine’s orders they are following. Because school board positions are unpaid and pretty unsatisfactory otherwise, it doesn’t bring much passion for reform is needed to manage the district. Instead, they follow the liberal plan that comes with all public schools and sign their name without taking any responsibility for what happens. And in that way, for the many little lies they must tell while doing so, public schools should be prosecuted for the harm they bring community members for knowing lies they commit for political power instead of what’s suitable for children. And it’s time to get all that to an end, for our own sake.

The Intent of Court-Packing: Democrats want to destroy America, Republicans want to sip wine and watch
Well, we told you that they were going to try and do it, the court-packing resolution that the Senate initiated last week to expand the Supreme Court from 9 justices to 13. But of course, they don’t have the votes to continue the bill with a simple, very slim majority as they are now pushing to get rid of the filibuster, so they won’t need a 60 vote majority to change those courts forever. Many have been warning conservatives, independents, and life-long Republicans for a long time. Now they have proven to be right once again about the intent of the Biden administration. Unfortunately, Senators like Lindsey Graham, Marsha Blackburn, and Ted Cruz are some of the most vocal members of the GOP Senate, and they don’t get the game. Most GOP members are ill-equipped to deal with these radical Democrats and what their true intentions are. Sure, these senators will talk about things that are happening, and they’ll gather on the steps of the Supreme Court, but that’s where the activism stops. We are not living in a civil society where the various sides work things out with mutual respect. No, we are dealing with revolutionaries who are using the power of elected office to undo the nature of our country. So with all these radical attempts we are seeing come out of the Biden administration, the goal of the radicals is destruction and nothing else. And the game of politics needs to be played with that in mind.
Republicans don’t understand the game that the Democrats are playing. They assume we all love our country and the ideas that gave birth to it, but more and more, the evidence is quite clear that is not the case. Democrats want an end to America and roll the management of our country over into an international body, like the United Nations. There is no intent on tradition in embracing what once worked. There are only plans for the destruction of everything our nation is, and the reason for the sudden rush where some new bit of a house of horrors is coming out every day by the Democrats is that they are pretty aware that their window is narrow. They want to cram through as much of their progressive agenda as possible while they still have all three houses of government. They have illusioned themselves with the notion that people support what they are doing. Still, they forget that the only way they’ve managed to grab power is through cheating and manipulation and supporting mob violence as a kind of leverage over ordinary people. Democrats intend to rule through fear, such as Covid-19 or race-baiting hoards of gangs who will attack dissidents in their homes. It wasn’t their ideas that put them in power; it was their threats of violence, activism, and outright aggression that did.
I read John Boehner’s book as I said I would, and the former Speaker of the House only revealed what I had been saying about him. He hates the Tea Party and the Trump MAGA movement that emerged out of it. Boehner wants to go back to the deal-making, wine-sipping days where everyone pretended to get along, and golf was the topic everyone could agree. Politicians like him showed themselves to be out of touch with the management needs of the mass population, and he was on the out. Boehner can blame Ted Cruz and Trump all he wants for creating all this division. All he’s saying is that he has no idea what happened or what was happening, and I would point to people like Mitt Romney and Mitch McConnell as the current politicians who share John Boehner’s faults. They want the Republican Party and politics in general to be something that it isn’t. And it is their disillusionment that has fueled the aggressions of these radical Democrats and made our country much less safe. Are they well-intentioned? Well, of course, they are. But so are the Democrats. The way the world looks to a crazy person is not representative of actual reality. That is why we have a government of checks and balances, to keep the dumb ideas out so that they don’t get in the way of people’s everyday lives. And that is why the Senate itself is designed to slow down legislation so that cool heads can prevail in these proceedings. But while all this is going on, the Democrats are grabbing for revolutionary power at all costs. That is why they had to have such massive voter fraud in the last election. They will never admit it, but that’s the only way they gained all the branches of government with the media help they had at that time. They may never get another shot at such crazy reforms for their long march to progressive causes.
Over the entire last century, as the Democrats were planning the destruction of America, politicians like John Boehner fought the fight that insurgents wanted. They were friendly Christian soldiers who went to church on Sunday after sipping wine on Saturday night under a haze of cigar smoke, and life was good. But they didn’t understand the rules of the game. Republicans might have thought they were playing a nice game of solitaire, friendly and without bets. But the Democrats were playing aggressive strip poker, and they expected to take something from everyone each round until there was nothing left but a bunch of naked people afraid and exposed to the world. Republicans were scammed, so voters picked Trump to fight back. And he’d be in office now if Republicans had defended the purity of the voting process and not fallen for the Covid scam to change the rules to benefit Democrats. That is what happens when you don’t know the game rules or even what game we are playing. Democrats are not fighting for the continuation of our republic. They seek to destroy it from the inside out, forever.
That is not angry rhetoric talking; the evidence is in the actions of Democrats. It’s in what they have been doing. The court-packing issue in the Supreme Court is what they decided they needed for their power grabs once Trump appointed a solid conservative majority into that judicial body. Meanwhile, as he describes it, Boehner’s most significant achievement was bringing the Pope in to speak in the House chamber while he cried like a baby. Hey, the Pope is a socialist! He is one of them! He’s a revolutionary attacker who doesn’t have sentiments in favor of American sovereignty. Just because he’s the head of a big church doesn’t mean his mind is infallible. Yet that is the kind of thinking that has held all Republicans back, even Ted Cruz and Marsha Blackburn. Lindsey Graham is all talk too; he’s not a fighter. What we need to defeat these insurgent Democrats are fighters, not actors in a theater. Of course, this window for the Democrats is closing as we speak. They know they only have a few months to undo the American system entirely, or they will be pushed out of office one way or the other. Cheating at voting won’t save them as people become angrier and angrier. But their intentions couldn’t be more precise. They are playing a game for keeps, and it’s time that Republicans figure that out for their own good.

Corporations Attacking America: Taking back our country from unelected insurgents of malice
I started out writing my new book, The Gunfighter’s Guide to Business, with the simple intention of helping businesspeople reach beyond the current limits of those studies to become better and more productive in both their personal and employers’ lives. Setting the book’s contents in a period before the progressive era, where many of our modern problems started, allows for a fresh look at complicated issues that hold many people back in all aspects of their lives. That for me was fine; if the book accomplished those things, I would have been happy. However, during the editorial process, people reviewing the book before the publication have noted that it is very much a book that could disassemble world governments and the corporate influence over them. This is something we have talked about for many years, especially in conspiracy circles. But after the 2020 election, there is no doubt that many global corporations, such as Google, Apple, Facebook, and even the NBA, no longer view American citizenship as a value. They have joined the revolution to overthrow American ideas and to refocus the human race toward global citizenry, to step beyond the Constitution, the National Anthem, and all things that are red, white, and blue. And that there was a means in my book to undo all that. Well, I would be lying if I said that came as a surprise to me. I’m always thinking about those types of things, so when writing a book about psychology and strategy, it would become apparent that such tools could be used on a micro and macro level. It wouldn’t hurt my feelings if readers of my new book did use it as a counter-revolutionary device to undo this anti-American revolution conducted by these large corporations. An eye for an eye is no problem with me. In fact, in the way I see things, an eye for a head is even better.
It’s well beyond time now to see the situation for what it is. Corporations have joined together to undercut a government that belongs to the people, to all of us. This isn’t a surprise to me, but it is a reality we must deal with. We don’t elect corporate representatives; they impose themselves on us for their reasons. Suppose they support communism and socialism; it’s for their good, not ours. And suppose they fan the flames of insurrection from revolutionaries who would seem to be against them and everything they stand for. In that case, the Amazons’ strategy is to kill off competition who cannot withstand the vigor. It is war; it’s a war against every one of us. Its war against rivals in business. Its war against the governments of the world mired in chaos and stagnation. The subject of my new book, and it’s all covered in the glory of villainy, unleashed in raw form for heroics to clash with and destroy to correct malice. But before we can do anything like that, we have to identify the villains and show them justice for their actions of insurrection.
The way the big companies plan to divert their insurgents into collapsing all competition which is how Amazon is doing it, is to appease the radical political elements of our day and to play them against those opposed. They show support for liberal causes, such as the Green New Deal, which will crush smaller companies with compliance costs. In that way, Amazon protects itself from new-age competition, calls off the dogs in any legislature from forced mandates and unneeded rules, and then stuffs money in the pockets of the lackluster politicians. They need their war chests filled by donors. It’s not the nations of the world we must be concerned with; it’s the corporations that have taken those governments over. This falls right in line with the contents of my book, ironically. If you are going to reform businesses from liberal activism, we all count on expanding our economy. The same strategies would undo the corruptive influence that corporations have on our governments, and thus, all our lives.
Oh, if there is one thing I do love in the world, it’s corporations and the creations that come from wealth and influence. I have no problem with corporations and wealth creation at all; in fact, I’d like to see a lot more of it. But, and this is a big “but” I do not want them ruling our world. Free market opportunities can lead, but I’m not too fond of the board of directors at Amazon or Apple deciding how we govern our nations to protect themselves from changes to their industrious efforts. I am not anti-corporation, far from it. And I make that clear in my book as well. I want all companies and corporations to do better. But they are not allowed to rule our lives as they plan to. Ironically, many of these questions were asked and answered during the period of Westward Expansion. In the age of the gunfighters so we know what to do and how to do it. We lack the understanding to recognize the need for action, which then requires us to look at a period when we did know. Before we can fight this war, people individually need to prop themselves up with some contextual history about how one individual can have a massive impact on the world. That the collectivism that has been taught over the last 150 years has intentionally misled with aggressive ways of war to undo our Republic by many jealous factions everywhere in the world.
I’ve been thinking about this topic for years, but it was only after the election of 2020 that I contacted my publisher and told them what I wanted to do with the book. We put it on the fast track, and it will be out later this summer. So, in a lot of ways, I felt that now was the time to have this discussion, and it’s better to give people a way to solve the problem than simply saying to the world that we see the problem, but are unable to do anything about it. Solutions with identification are always good. But it’s not just me seeing that there is a need to unravel the political power that corporations now have in the world and what historical need there is to undo that power. We all have a role to play, but I think what many people do need is a map of how to do it. And that’s what the Gunfighter’s Guide is ultimately going to provide. Suppose Lean Manufacturing can help a company solve problems and get to a root cause analysis. In that case, the Gunfighter’s Guide will help people understand the psychology behind those root causes and allow for solutions at that enterprise level. All these corporations hide their malicious intent for global domination. Whether it’s a dusty street in 1870, or a modern metropolis full of blue state governors and mayors, the villains always hide just outside of town and spread their terror indirectly from the shadows. And it is there that we must root them out into the light of day to separate corporations from our government and to restore to our Republic our control over our nation. If corporations want to do business with us, they better learn that it is us they serve. Not the other way around.

What’s Behind the Derek Chauvin Case: We know the façade, yet that is only the beginning
Like a lot of news outlets, I have been asked many hundreds of times over the last few days what I thought of the Derek Chauvin case. Much to my surprise, very few commentators understood the essence; Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens were pecking around on the surface of understanding, comprehending that it was a fear of the mob behind the verdict. Still, the situation is much more profound and is elusive to the usual analysis. So, I offer my thoughts on the matter in the video above. I understood what the judge was doing and can sympathize when he addressed the defense team about Maxine Watters activism that set the stage for an appeal. She was wrong to fly to Minneapolis to stir up trouble within the black community, attempting to create a mob of extortion to use the crises to establish much broader political power grabs. And her actions will likely destroy the entire case. The judge just wanted to get his courtroom off the front page and protect the jurors any way within his power, which was noble. What else could he do with a mob outside his window? Without a doubt, the jurors were feeling the same thing. Not one of them would dare utter a not-guilty verdict for fear of what the mob would do. But Maxine gave the judge a way out, and he took it with his very unusual speech to the defense, signaling to them what their next steps after a guilty verdict should be.
What we witnessed this week with the media urging on the mobs of insurrection was truly disgusting. It was the same unified voice as we saw over election fraud, where there was no evidence, even though nobody wanted to look at it spread out for all to see. The media refused to acknowledge it and continued to drive a narrative that told the political story they wanted. An insurrection of President Trump and the America First populist movement to install a progressive dictator operating behind the puppet presidency of Joe Biden and hiding their massive crimes behind vote tampering and media compliance. After the Chauvin verdict, the media lined up in the same way, sending out pictures of the former police officer in handcuffs, being checked in to the jail—being processed as a criminal. It was symbolic of what progressives want to do to all police in America. They want to destroy law enforcement so that they can rebuild our society with a socialist mob and destroy our Constitution in the ashes of that activism. For them, Chauvin was a victory for them no matter what the innocence might be contemplated. The mob drove the verdict, and it showed them once again that being a bully works and is how you get power these days. Republicans won’t stand up to the bullies, and this only confirmed it further for them.
But what are we supposed to think about the criminal act itself? As I said in the video, I see it as an unfortunate circumstance of two pairs of opposites. Chauvin was an aggressive, power-hungry police officer who collided with the tapestry of progressive below-the-line thinking, the drug addict George Floyd and a well-known criminal past. Progressives sought to exploit the tragedy in similar ways to bring communism to Russia, China, and Cuba. South Africa comes to mind too. People forget that Nelson Mandela was a raving communist, and that is the same effort behind Black Lives Matters and all the mobs protesting police brutality. They make race the issue when it’s much more complicated than that. But the death itself was just an unfortunate accident between two people who knew each other from their days of working at a nightclub together and bouncing around with wild women and drugs each night at that establishment. Chauvin married a woman who would soon be a beauty queen, so his life took a different turn but obviously, the past between these two people played out on the day of that death of Floyd. Floyd being drugged out, and Chauvin showing off to his peers how to subdue a suspect.
The marriage of Chauvin is another sad story. His wife from Laos, who could barely speak English, was late in life when she beat out her rivals for the crown. Good for her for taking a shot and putting herself out there. But everyone saw what was going on, here was an aging minority woman in a politically correct world of beauty pageants. They had to give her the crown, but it was enough for the shallow Chauvin. It was bragging rights when he asked her on a date while working at a local hospital. She was happy to have the attention of a person of authority and the two married. But the moment Chauvin killed George Floyd, the power trip was over, and she filed for divorce. She did not stand by her man of 10 years of marriage. I only mention all that because it points to a problem with Derek Chauvin. He cared too much about what people thought about him. He didn’t care that his new wife was only into him for his badge. He only wanted her for the bragging rights of having a beauty queen for a wife as well, so they both were getting what they wanted—until she couldn’t get what she needed out of the marriage once that relationship ended with his arrest. It’s a more subtle footnote to this tragedy built from the ground up on looks rather than reality. Including the use of mobs to drive the verdict toward communist spread through the black communities using force as power.
With the analysis of the wife and the competition of nightclub life, even as bouncers and security guards, you can likely understand that perhaps Chauvin put a little more force with his knee on Floyd’s neck due to those memories. I have some experience with these things from my early days. I was a bouncer for a local nightclub, and women offer lots of things to get an advantage to the VIP sections. And other men see these advantages that you have, and they try to kill you or hurt you any way they can. No doubt Chauvin was the kind of guy who enjoyed this power. And it would also hurt him to see a guy like George Floyd getting the real attention from such ladies once the girls got into the club. Hey, wild girls live and die by the sword. Chauvin was a little too stuffy and strait-laced for those types of women who love to do crazy things with crazy big men of color. Of course, we’ll never know for sure because nobody talks about these things, not even the men involved. Likely Chauvin wasn’t smart enough to even consider what his subconscious motives were with Floyd. He just knew the man from their shared past, and this was an opportunity to show off for the guys and impress his beauty queen wife when he got home that night. The stoic cop she was attracted to being a big man on the job.
Much of this is speculation based on known conditions and experience. But the question is not hard to determine whether or not Derek Chauvin went to work that day intent to kill George Floyd, and the answer is obvious. Derek Chauvin likely didn’t think too deeply about anything, even what he would have for breakfast on that particular day. So he did not go out into the world intent to kill a black man that day. Now when an old nightclub rival put himself at the mercy of the law and was intoxicated with drugs while Chauvin was instructing other cops on how to make proper arrests as an officer, well, you can see how things would have gone wrong. But was it murder? Or just an accident from two delinquents burdened with the responsibilities of manhood when in fact, neither was ready. Yea, there was a lot wrong with this case, but murder wasn’t one of them. Instead, it was used to hide all the other intentions that are much more menacing.

Lakota Parents Stand up to Transsexual Activism: Finally parents are making their voices heard to save their children from public school
It was a remarkable thing to see for a change; angry parents from my home district of Lakota showed up at the mid-April school board meeting and let it be known what they thought of the transsexual policies advocated by the members of the board. Their concerns about Critical Race Theory were another topic that is now all the rage in public schools. It was much of this lunacy being given directly to teachers of all public schools in by the Ohio Department of Education. So it’s not fringe actions by radical leftist groups, the radical leftist groups are now mainstream and in the government, and they educate our kids. And several of the Lakota school board members in my community have been lockstep in support of the government push for diversity training in public schools making racism the central issue of our education of children. That may sound fair and balanced to the helicopter parents who fly their kids into the government schools for the free babysitting services that are very much part of this scam of political insurgency. Lakota’s transsexual policies attempted to take the lead on what has been an outright attack on the efficacy and future of all children attending. Parents in my community are finally starting to stick up for themselves.
As I said in the video above, Lakota, the public school in my neighborhood, is a good baseline for what is happening nationally with public education issues. It’s a wealthy district with a budget, what the labor unions consider the best teachers money can buy, and parents who sincerely care what is going on with their kids. Likely more than average, there are two-parent homes in Lakota, and it votes heavily Republican. However, the public elected the school board in the typical way that labor unions put their people in power to protect themselves from the outside world. And those school board members, specifically names like Brad Lovell, Julie Shaffer, and Kelly Casper, have gone out of their way to endorse these liberal policies, especially the transgender elements. The community indeed wasn’t screaming for it. It’s an extensive district and for the most part, considering the massive population of over 100,000 people in a county of 400,000, everyone stays pretty well behaved. Delinquent children are an anomaly, they certainly aren’t familiar, and because of the two-parent homes, the sexual issues are much less an issue than in other places around the country. There are more guns in the school district of Lakota, for instance, than there are in some states, but there is very little violence. The newspapers have to work hard to find any real controversy to report. That makes Lakota an excellent place to start to understand the massive activism that is threatening our children. If it’s evident in my community, you can bet it’s every bit as bad in yours, or worse.
The Lakota school board has forgotten who they represent. As mentioned in the accompanying video on this site of the actual meeting where the parents lined up under social distancing rules to speak at the public portion of the meeting, school board members aren’t paid for their work. They do it as representatives of the community to make sure the massive $200 million-plus budget taken from property owners gets where it needs to go for the sake of the kids’ education. However, all the members except for Lynda O’Conner out of the five officials voting are leaning toward the far left mandates coming out of the state, which ultimately comes out of the Ohio Education Association, the teacher’s union, which shapes a lot of what happens in public education as a radical progressive group. They have chosen to make the decisions on transgender policy that they have, which has many parents terrified for their children’s lives, correctly. I would argue that I know this school board and that these parental complaints will fall on deaf ears. But it’s good to bring them up in public anyway and take the complaints several steps further than their little 3-minute spots in the board meetings. These issues are far too complicated to be capped off under the Lakota management structure, and the urgency for the kids’ sake is nothing short of dire. So even if the school board doesn’t get it, it’s a fight worth having. As a community, we could always elect new school board members. But the discussion needs to happen in a front and center kind of way.
I used to do hundreds of articles on my blog site here about specifically Lakota challenges, but I have readers in most of the major countries. I have been covering overreaching national and international issues now, but that doesn’t mean that local issues aren’t necessary for the scheme of things. For Lakota, what is happening in my backyard is happening in yours as well; it’s worth mentioning what’s happening so that you, the reader, can take similar actions on your own. However, for my newer readers catching up to the past, I have a long history with the Lakota school system. My warnings were that this day would arrive. I started formally just arguing the merits of the tax increases against property owners, and I was a frequent guest on talk radio and our television news. I gave speeches all over the place and met with concerned parents all over Ohio, so I understand well how concerned parents are and can be out there. But the more work I did in looking into the various progressive issues, the angrier I became because it was evident that public education was headed in this direction. They wanted our kids, and they desired as progressive activists and outright communists working in public education to ruin the minds of our children so that when they grew up, they’d become activist voters, and that is where we find ourselves today.
However, public school activists never plan for the parents to speak up for themselves. They expect them to drop their kids off at the government schools and rush off to Starbucks before gossiping and becoming distracted by a thousand other things. Simultaneously, the teachers attack the children’s foundations with sexualized educations and race relation discussions. School distracts them from the elements they should be learning, such as how to grow into a critical thinking adult and how to read. Modern educators want kids as dumb and witless as possible so that they will be easy to control in the future and for methods that we are now seeing openly on the news. None of this is new, but what is new is that a group of parents stuck together and showed up to speak out against it. They tried to communicate with their school board, which is part of the problem and is destined to blow them off. But it won’t end there. Challenges to the school board are bound to happen in the upcoming elections. The state of Ohio is taking notice, and some powerful Republican politicians are just as upset about this attack on our country. That creates an atmosphere that has some potential for real reform. And if it’s happening in Lakota, it’s happening in other places as well, and that is something to celebrate.

We Teach Cops to Panic and Exploit Every Little Danger: No wonder they are left vulnerable to the insurgents of chaos
I don’t talk about it much; much of it was a long time ago. I wouldn’t say I’m lucky to be alive. I would say it was mostly skill, so I made it through some wild and deadly years. I didn’t think it was so unusual, but it was quite clear that it was an extraordinary life as I’ve grown older. But needless to say, I’ve had lots of guns pointed at me, and I’ve been shot at plenty of times. And I enjoy those kinds of things, so it disgusts me a lot to hear people being babies about how they fear for their lives when they are shot at. Police unions spend much of their lives defending dumb things that their members do, and they have cried wolf too much on the danger that police officers engage. As I said in the above video, I don’t relate to people who panic. I don’t panic about anything, and I never have, so all these police shootings that are happening on what mobs want to make into riots result from a loss of masculinity in the gunfighter process. There are lots of causes for it. But with all that said, we still need the police to protect law and order in our society. If the police make mistakes, I consider it collateral damage based on lousy training. I believe in this topic so much that I wrote a book called Tail of the Dragon, published about a decade ago now. My first book, The Symposium of Justice, published nearly two decades ago, was about this issue to a large extent also. So, I have some passionate thoughts about police efforts, the need for police and justice, and the kind of cool persona needed when in a firefight or a fistfight that requires a lot of experience.
I understand mistakes happen. I don’t understand the female cop who didn’t know she had a gun instead of a taser and accidentally killed the kid they were trying to arrest. I’m sure she feels terrible about it. Like many of these victims, the kid didn’t respect the police, which is a significant problem. Police are trained to subdue their arrestees no matter what. That power goes to the heads of a certain percentage of cops, and that is another problem. And the kind of training we give cops just doesn’t fit the circumstances. I’ve been to lots of gun classes and been around many gun users, and there is a tendency among them to overplay the danger of the weapons, which makes the gun users into panicky messes by the end of it. I prefer the stone-cold competence of the old cowboys who spent so much time with guns that they could spin them in their hands and never injure themselves or others while using firearms. I’m used to people who shoot in SASS and Cowboy Fast Draw who have guns as natural extensions of themselves, not some armed villain that might accidentally go off and kill people on a cross draw. The female cop should have never had a chambered weapon in her gun otherwise would have never mistaken a taser for a real gun ready to shoot. Yeah, I get it; mistakes happen, but these communist plotters who control these inner cities are looking to exploit every mistake for a change state in law enforcement, which is an even worse problem.
However, for context, everyone always says that until you know the raised heartbeat of chasing down some dangerous kid down a back alley who may be armed and ready to kill you, you don’t know what you’d do. Or some guy freaked out on drugs might resist arrest, meaning you need to use deadly force; I can relate. And it doesn’t bother me in the least. People then ask, well, why aren’t you a cop? My answer is that police are too structured for me, and they don’t make enough money. Doing a job for the thrill of it isn’t enough in a world full of options. But deadly encounters are not a deterrent, and there are plenty of people in the world who feel the same way. We need them as cops, not some of this progressive stuff we see today where we can’t discuss the necessity of courage in the workplace or the differences in the sexes. Instead, to avoid the discussion, we give aggressive police training and turn them loose politically ill-equipped for the political circumstances. And when corruption is detected, the police unions cover for their members, making the public suspect every deed was done with suspicion, which has, in the long run, worked against the police.
That’s where the parasite insurgents have come into the picture. They are using these political elements of policing, and the overreactions typical of most police encounters to their advantage whenever a mistake does happen. The people crying over all these black kids dying under police hands don’t care for anything about the black-on-black violence in Chicago every day and night. They don’t care about the many abortions that happen in black neighborhoods all year long. They don’t care about the gunning down of drugged-out thugs by police, only what they can exploit it for to gain political power. And that is the hard truth of the matter. It’s a shame, but that’s what we have before us. It’s not a problem that will solve itself, but one that must be identified, even if the admission is difficult.
Even with all that said, we must stand by our police. The system is imperfect because we are inspiring the wrong kind of people to work in law enforcement. The cool cats who have ice water in their veins are not going to the police academy. There is too much bureaucracy in police work, and people like that don’t have the patience for uniformed work. Who wants the rigidity of police work for payment under 70K? Not the kind of people born with ice water in their veins. But the power-hungry, the overdramatized attention getters, they do. I’ve had excellent friends who went on to become cops, and they made a game of pulling over young girls and making them exchange sexual favors to get out of tickets. Not something they are talking about in the mainstream news, but it happens in every community, and that is because we fail to distinguish the good from the bad and reward the tough and fearless. And in the wake, we end up with a mess. The communists and socialists in these black neighborhoods want to exploit these tragedies to collapse the American way of life. And the media is there to throw gas on the fire to help make it happen. They don’t wish to preserve law and order. They only cheer on the destruction of our nation and the laws that should bring peace but instead usher in an age of terror. It’s a path to hell paved with good intentions, and despite the trouble, we must stand by the cops because it is evident that nobody else will. They need us more than ever and should not be penalized because of their terrible training in the arts of panic rather than courage.

Biden’s Theft of a Trump Issue: Removing troops from Afghanistan is all about cover-up
As I have been pointing out, Democrats are simply looters who steal other people’s ideas to cover for their massive corruption. They certainly have done this with the racism issue, which is exclusively their problem. They created it. And they are and have been for decades involved in the cover-up. Now that they have a disastrous first quarter of a Biden first term, they are looking to steal another Trump idea, the troop withdrawal from Afghanistan. Of course, for Trump’s original targets of getting America out of Afghanistan, he knew that the support for the long 20-year war chasing after a fake Taliban threat was to support a military-industrial complex and economy of defense spending. Suggesting that the moment US Troops would leave, that Afghanistan would fall into chaos is just another lie. It was a lie created on behalf of perpetually keeping wars going so that investors could know where to spend their money to make millions then donate that money to the politicians who made it all happen to begin with. There was never a goal of the Afghanistan War. It was simply to send troops somewhere to do something while the drug trade flourishes around the world from the inhospitable country intent to poison the world with its narcotics products. It was never about terrorism. The terrorism created the urgency to do something in that region that could justify spending massive amounts of money on feeling good about something.
Yet, it’s a great example that the government cannot be trusted by the voters who put them in office. All you need to do is compare how politicians reacted to Trump wanting to withdraw from Afghanistan and then their very passive and even supportive reaction to Joe Biden wishing to do the same. Of course, Republicans are against the idea. They were when Trump wanted to do it, and they don’t like it that Biden wants to, although they are much less vocal about it ironically. But it’s Democrats who have been most notably schizophrenic about it. That shouldn’t be a surprise. However, it does provide a noticeable difference. In 2020, as Trump was speaking about withdrawing from Afghanistan, the world was coming to an end. Now fast forward into the first quarter of 2021, suddenly America has been there for over 20 years, and now its time to bring them home. Democrats like the idea, and so does the media. Strange how that happens.
It would be nice if Democrats were sincere about their cares for the troops, but as we all know, that isn’t the reason. Instead, Democrats under the Biden administration have put themselves in a lot of trouble. The Hunter Biden story didn’t have long legs, and Democrats need a diversion from their intentions of court-packing. High taxes on infrastructure, their full embrace of the communist Green New Deal. The war that is brewing with Ukraine and Russia, think about that one. The Biden’s have business payoffs from Ukraine, and Democrats have used Russia as the excuse for how Trump managed to break through the political firewall of global cabals who try to run all politics through financial support. And now Russia knows the Biden administration is compromised and weak. They dance from the fingers of China, whom Russia has now aligned themselves with, so no matter how much money from Ukraine the Bidens have received, the new administration can’t afford to put its foot down. Russia knows it. Yet Democrats continue to talk about how Russia compromised Trump for help in getting elected in 2016. What they don’t tell you is that it was the Democrats who owe Russia for allowing themselves to be a punching bag of their incompetency while all this has been brewing. And now for Russia, it’s payday. They want Ukraine back.
There is more corruption, too; people are not buying Covid anymore, so the Democrats lose that mask of panic which has allowed them to gain so much power. Few people trust the CDC anymore, which carried the Biden administration back to a mock election. And the corporate commanders at Twitter and Facebook are losing their grip on information flow. Conservative outlets are coming on now; we are not all one country. Liberals have their entertainment. Conservatives have their own. We all don’t share movies, sports, and television shows anymore. Liberals have successfully, unintentionally, of course, driven a wedge in our entertainment culture, and people are on their separate sides now. And those conservative sides aren’t buying the election fraud that took away their President in Trump. People are very resentful of the role media played in stealing the election through many methods. The Biden people know they are falsely elected and that there is tremendous pressure that much of the American population knows it. So why not steal a Trump action with Afghanistan in hopes to heal the ill-will? That is undoubtedly a factor in this withdrawal.
The Biden people are suffering through what it feels like to build a lie on top of a lie on top of a lie until the whole cake starts sliding off itself into collapse. The Biden administration is a corporate concoction that thought it could rule by consensus and finance. But what is now missing from the world is authentic leadership, the kind of leadership Trump brought to the presidency. The world had been waiting for an opportunity toward corruption once again. So, of course, they hated Trump and his voters. They lied, cheated, and manipulated themselves back into power, and now they have it. But, they have to live up to the promises, and they are collapsing under the pressure of needed performance, and they can’t do it. All they can do is copy off what was working and hope people stop looking at them.
That’s what everyone needs to know about the Afghanistan withdrawal plans. It’s as phony as the Biden administration is. If anybody cared to withdraw from Afghanistan, they would have done it during the eight years that Obama was in office. But of course, Republicans got their industrial complex concerns addressed with the continued war, and Democrats were able to protect the drug trade in that country from poisoning the world under the protection of the US military. Everyone was happy until that mean old Trump came along and wanted to take the troops out of the politics, and the world threatened to meltdown in reaction. However, now that the shoe is on the other foot, Democrats need a diversion. They hope that it will last longer than the pornography of the President’s son plastered all over the internet with his weiner hanging out and displaying his decaying teeth destroyed by drug abuse. That is, after all, what kind of product comes out of President Biden. His son is a perfect caricature of his corrupt life, and now we are supposed not to see those things as all their plans came apart so soon in the new administration. These are, after all, not the days of old where empty promises would be enough. These days, especially after Trump, people expect results. Instead, all they have so far is a disaster of an administration, and pulling the troops out of Afghanistan won’t cover that up.

The Truth About Racism: Democrats are trying to keep them on another kind of plantation
For the wall-to-wall news coverage on race, especially coming out of CNN regarding the nightly protests over police shootings, the real story is the attempts to hide the wounds that have never healed over Reconstruction after the Civil War. No, it is not going too far back to think about such things. Any student of history could see it; there is a reason that Democrats want to destroy public education to control what you know and learn from history, how you might come to think and solve problems. If they’re going to hold you, they must control what you know, and concerning the Progressive Movement that came about around the 1890s, you have to understand the scam they have been attempting to cover up for which they are most guilty. But to know it, you would have had to read books that are pretty obscure because nobody is covering this topic very well. When we learn about the Civil War, we understand that it freed the slaves, but they never talk about the hows or whys. And we certainly don’t remember much about Reconstruction after the Civil War. I think Dinesh D’souza did some of the best modern work on showing who the racists of society were and what needs to be done about it, which is the great secret of our day.
I usually wouldn’t pour any gasoline on the fire but watching this garbage on the news has forced me to reveal what nobody wants to think about. What I see on the riot coverage are not blacks. I know many people of color, some that I am very close with and care about very much who are black. I see from the rioters, slaves made that way through a terrible public education system and a liberalized media hiding a terrible secret. They only care to riot for an opportunity to steal televisions and tennis shoes. They do not care about racism or how we managed to get racism in our country and understand that. I would point the curious mind to one of my absolute favorite books on planet earth, the incredible book about western gunfighters called Triggernometry by Eugene Cunningham, first published in 1934. Good ol’ Eugene was around in the days of the gunfighters and knew them from first-hand accounts. And he certainly knew the hatred that still existed, especially among bloodthirsty killers like John Wesley Hardin and Jesse James, how political their killings were. Hardin was forged from the political circumstances in Texas during Reconstruction after the Civil War, where black police were put in charge as a stick in the eye of the defeated Democrats provoking much violence. One of my favorite Wild West sheriffs came to have one of the most remarkable law enforcement careers in history through Reconstruction, which nobody knows about because he was a black man, Bass Reeves. Jesse James was far more political than just a killer. He believed he was fighting against Reconstruction, attacking radical Republicans who had freed the slaves and forcing slave states like Missouri to integrate blacks into society against their southern will.
Democrats failed, of course, and they eventually gave up their fight against Reconstruction directly. Instead, they entered government in the North and began undoing much of what Republicans under Lincoln and Grant started. Of course, this took a long time to occur to mask their efforts; they adopted this new Progressive Movement that was coming out of Wisconsin, and even Teddy Roosevelt fell for it. But it was a platform for Democrats to rebrand themselves after Reconstruction and regain power over blacks and get revenge for losing their slaves. Through big government communism and socialism, Progressives sought to put slaves into the inner cities to control them on a new kind of plantation. They rotted the minds of blacks through public education, gave them free government services, and sought to destroy all family structures so that the people themselves would have no support mechanism to defend themselves intellectually. Then finally, they would highjack the Civil Rights movement by using Martin Luther King to flip the script on Reconstruction, which was around 90 years old at that time. It may seem like ancient history to us today. Reconstruction was very much on the minds of Democrats. In the tumultuous 60s, where Russian communism was penetrating our colleges overtly, and blacks were being used to hide the Klu Klux Klan past, the old bushwhackers from the Civil War were still stinging from the pain of Reconstruction. The South lost their way of life and economy to the do-gooder radical Republicans who came to power under Lincoln and Grant, and they never got over it.
The plots to kill President Lincoln for defeating the South in the Civil War are now well known. And the constant political scheme to ruin Grant can be studied to significant effect by reading Ron Chernow’s book titled, appropriately, Grant. It wasn’t much different from the way Democrats and some Republicans treated President Trump. Grant was attacked by Democrats constantly because of Reconstruction and his administration in controversy. I remember a report I did on Grant in the third grade where I talked about him as a war hero. I wanted to think so because he was from Ohio, essentially southern Cincinnati. So I talked him up in one of my early writing escapades, which my teacher didn’t like, even back then in the 70s. She was all caught up on the Democrat position on Grant and wanted me to portray him as a drunk, bankrupt scallywag. I, of course, didn’t change my report, and I did get a lousy grade, although my teacher did admit that I showed great promise with my writing ability. But you get the point with that bit of example of the kind of extremism. This kind of situation is taught to people, especially blacks freed from slavery by Republicans and abused right up to these modern-day race riots by Democrats, and exploited for everything that Progressives can give themselves through this racism theater.
It’s not hard to find the evidence if you care to find it. Joe Biden has a long history with former members of the Klu Klux Klan, the types who came into office and stayed there for 50 years or more, elected because of Reconstruction in the South to dismantle the efforts. The blacks like Frederick Douglass showed great promise of the kind of people who could benefit the American way of life. Democrats compelled blacks into the inner cities for the next hundred years, up to the present where they know nothing else to do but burn down buildings, turn over cars, and steal things to make a living because that is what Democrats want out of them. For Democrats, it is revenge against the Republicans for what happened during Reconstruction. Yes, it goes back to that point in history. And slowly, over time, the best revenge was for Democrats to repackage themselves to the blacks their former and current slaves. Now you know why they want to burn books telling the stories of the past. So that people wouldn’t learn about these kinds of things. After all, it’s how Democrats recaptured the blacks through voting by erasing their history and any knowledge of the excellent work that Republicans did to free them the first time. And the danger that terrified Democrats most about Trump was that he was freeing blacks again, which showed in the last election. And that is the truth of the matter, which is the key to understanding everything you need to know, dear reader, about the racial tensions we have now.

How to Find a Leader: Joe Biden is not one
It is one of the most misunderstood concepts of our society. I am going through the editorial process with a publisher on a book on this topic called The Gunfighter’s Guide to Business. Still, we need to address the difference between a leader and a politician for our case here today. Because obviously, most people don’t know the difference. Every day in the news, somebody talks about Joe Biden as if he’s our “leader,” even Tucker Carlson on Fox News. There is a treacherous psychological mind trick going on here that is costing us a lot of national bandwidth that we need to straighten out because we are different in America than other places globally, and we need to understand why. We don’t elect leaders into office in the United States. We don’t make an effort to be led by titles. Remember, unlike what everyone tells us, we are not a Democracy; we are a Republic. And we elect people to represent our views in America. Not to lead us, leadership is scarce, and when we find them, we like them. But we can’t limit our scope to always waiting for some leader to emerge before leaving the campfire and exploring the nearest cave the way leader-driven cultures tend to do. We built our country to assume that leadership would be hard to find and was very rare, so leadership wasn’t needed in the political class. We just needed representatives to carry out the interests of the people who elected them, which is a vast difference from what we are told.
As I talk about in my upcoming book, leadership is forged like gold from the massive pressures of the universe. Not everyone has the stomach or the heart to be a leader. Typically we don’t see leaders emerging in our political circles because the conditions for making a leader do not exist there. We see them come about in military life to some extent, we see them in sports, but most of our leadership in America comes about in the business world. The percentage of authentic leadership is noticeably low; it’s a fraction of the total percentage of an overall population. For example, Tom Brady is a prominent leader in sports. He makes his coaching staff better with his leadership and teammates no matter what team he’s on. Tom Brady manages always to find success. You can see that type of leadership in CEOs, such as Steve Jobs. Modern-day Elon Musk has excellent leadership. It’s not the money he has which exhibits it, but it’s in his long string of successes and how he can communicate complicated vision to many people. Of course, when we think of leadership, we think of General Patton. I think of Claire Lee Chennault, who created the great Flying Tigers. But these are all names unique to the history and within our populations. They are far from commonplace.
The health of any culture should always be measured by the number of leaders it produces. But for that to occur, you have to understand what a leader is, and by calling politicians leaders by their titles, or worthless CEOs who expect to lead by title, then we are kidding ourselves toward the objectives of success, in a healthy culture that proportionally, America is the best globally. We have our Tom Brady types coming out of leisure activities and our Elon Musks in science and industry. Other countries don’t have those people. It’s not because the skills aren’t in the population. But those cultures do not have a means of emerging them from obscurity into change state contributors, just as Indians of the Wild West spent much of their lives walking over gold but having no means to bring it out of the ground. And even if they did get to it, what would they have done with it? They had no economy to make money. They had no concept of money, so they never extracted gold for sociological use. There needs to be a means to bring about the treasures of existence, and if that culture does not develop those means, you will never get to the prize. That is what leadership is; it’s a treasure of human endeavor that can advance a society when it is found and utilized. But it is not created by silly titles, which is the prevailing belief by those too lazy and ill-equipped to develop a culture that produces leadership.
If we recognized that simple leadership trait, we would eliminate much of the corruption we see in politics currently and in the past and future. Because we have by default given out leadership designations to people by title and not merit, we have prevented authentic leadership from emerging and improving our lives and circumstances. Back to Tom Brady, think of all the professional football players we have seen over the years. But not until Tom Brady came along was the whole leadership package developed into a guy who had taken his football teams to so many Super Bowls and won when the surrounding players were all different, and even the teams were different. Tom Brady is proof that it’s not teams that win big games; it’s one individual who is a true leader. Socialist and Communist countries always fail because they have no interest in finding leadership. They have built their entire societies around collective consensus instead of leadership. That is undoubtedly the case of our institutions of learning and our government of today in general. They think leadership comes out of group behavior when it is forged from the pressure of success and failure—through much pain and turmoil and a refusal to take the loss as an answer to living.
By calling any political person a leader, we are cheapening the word for its true meaning and use. It is worse than all that it is a general punt by a declining society to be so quick to call worthless people leaders because the culture desires to shift away responsibility for leadership to people with titles instead of hashing out the problems themselves. They might fail in the task if they did try, but by not trying and giving the responsibility over to a titled person who does not have leadership, but is like Mitch McConnell, a politician in a high office, then a failure shouldn’t come as a surprise. Mitch McConnell will never be a leader of anybody. Joe Biden will never be a leader, nor is Vice President Commie Harris. Skin color can’t make a person a leader. Bootlicking doesn’t make a leader. Diversity training won’t make a leader, so globalism will ultimately fail because they seek to suppress leaders in favor of a system that makes politicians by title into positions of authority without earning the right through the pressures of living and becoming the best, thus creating leadership.
Not understanding leadership has led to many of the problems we see today and destroys the lives of those unable to see leadership for the value it brings. But make no mistake, just because someone wins an election, it does not make them a leader. Just because someone gets a promotion, it does not make them magically a leader. Not even a Super Bowl can do it; in the case of Tom Brady, he has shown that you must win many Super Bowls under many different conditions to show the power of leadership. But without these tests and high expectations, you get sorry performance and a culture destined for failure. And that is the danger of calling worthless politicians leaders when they are only haphazard politicians who represent us in politics at best.
