Michael Jordan in ‘The Last Dance’: It’s never organizations who win, it’s individuals

All during the Covid shutdowns where sports was obviously hit very hard leaving people cleaving for anything, the ESPN documentary on Michael Jordan ‘The Last Dance’ was showing from week to week giving talk radio personalities something to discuss. Given the unreliability of supply chains to provide me with the amount of bullets I needed for shooting I took it upon myself to make my own at my shop bench leaving me with more hours than usual to listen to those programs, so I heard a lot about ‘The Last Dance’ before I ever watched it, and now that its on Netflix as a complete release for streaming, I was able to catch up. The result was that ‘The Last Dance’ is really something special that captures a time in Americana that most of us would love to see again, and that Michael Jordan in hindsight, especially after watching Kobe Bryant and LeBron James attempt to be just as good as Mike, but falling very short, the trip down memory lane especially as Covid had literally shut down the world was I think important. As I was watching the program I thought back to all those professional sports analysists on talk radio and wondered how they had missed the point of the entire show, the several lines of importance that the show was all about, because they directly led to the problem we are seeing now, where sports and sports figures were hijacked by progressive politics to the point where many won’t even stand for the national anthem. The thing that separated Michael Jordan from everyone else, even today was that he understood his role in sports and what that role was to others, and he never wavered.

I never thought of Michael Jordan as a black man until Barack Obama made it quite clear in ‘The Last Dance’ that he felt the star basketball player for the Chicago Bulls had an obligation because of his skin color to represent progressive civil rights causes. Jordan smartly when under great pressure at the height of his popularity refused to pick a side by saying to several other teammates on the traveling bus “that Republicans buy tennis shoes too.” And there it was, the theme of the entire show, and the very diseased outlook that has contaminated modern sports and entertainment where even baseball stars are kneeling at the National Anthem. Jordan was a capitalist, he had parents who were smart, and they actually forced the young Jordan to visit Nike and hear their pitch to him to develop Air Jordans. They may have been black, but they obviously loved America and the opportunities it could give their young son, and Mike listened to them even when it was tempting to hear other voices who all wanted a piece of the Michael Jordan rock.

Jordan was a businessman, he enjoyed capitalism and he found in basketball an outlet for his true love of winning. He was smart enough to understand that what made him great was his competitive drive and so long as he focused on that, everything else would take care of itself. He did not get pulled into political causes by the drowning people of the world the way LeBron James has, essentially splitting half the country against him. Jordon let his game play do all his talking, to the public he was nice the way his parents taught him to be. To his teammates he was ruthless in his pursuit of perfection which is an element about him that set him apart from every other basketball player in the history of the NBA. It is astonishing to watch ‘The Last Dance’ in hindsight because it’s clear where the NBA is going, and where Nike, ESPN and so many other entertainment venues are lost now that they don’t have a Michael Jordan figure to hook their stars to. They are all dying because as natural looters Michael Jordan carried them all, built them to greatness by association. Without Michael Jordan, they can’t do it on their own and fall into decline. The NBA today is essentially a spokesman for Chinese communism, and people are not excited about it. You don’t see anybody like Michael Jordan playing today. There are good, talented people, but there aren’t players that everyone likes the way that people loved the winner Michael Jordan presented to them.

I always did like Michael Jordan, which is why I took the time to watch ‘The Last Dance.’ I have a similar problem that Jordan does, I obsess over winning and feel I must crush my opponents at everything. I’ve managed a different way to deal with that burden which Jordan never did come to terms with. Instead he used it to his advantage and obsessed his way into becoming the most alpha, of all alpha males in a sport dominated by the top alphas in sports and it was a 24 hour 7 days per week thing that never turned off. When I say I understand Michael Jordan’s competitive spirit, his need to win everything, to gamble anything, and to take any attack on him very personal and to turn it into greatness, I saw that without the good parents Jordan had and other older people to guide him along, Michael Jordan would have easily become another self-destructive individual face down at a Black Jack table in a casino drunk and penniless. But because he found an outlet in sports as guided by his dad, he was able to take those personality traits into a positive direction, and we are all the better for it.

But I wasn’t surprised that Michael Jordan never really had peace, that he worked at being great all day long, seldom hanging out around the house with his family pouring everything into being the best. Most great people could tell the same story yet even knowing that, Michael Jordan’s work ethic was phenomenal. And that is what people saw in him and loved. Jordan never used his skin color as a point of political leverage, instead he used the things he did in life to tell his story and that is what made him a great American and preserves his memory for all time. The interviews in ‘The Last Dance’ with Barack Obama told a lot about the world we are living in. Obama loved Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls, but the former President’s below the line beliefs could not grasp why Michael was great. He was left only to observe that he was even though it went against all his socialist views of how the world should be. But Jordan understood the power of his individual spirit and he used that spirit to do great things and because of that, the Bulls were a great team, Chicago had something to cheer for, and America could relate to where skin color didn’t matter a bit. For anybody who insists that America is a racist nation, all they need to do is watch ‘The Last Dance’ and they’ll understand that a culture that can produce a Michael Jordan, that can give a platform for someone like him to speak with action, is nothing close.

Since Michael Jordan’s playing days those who came along with him found themselves just as lost as the Bulls were when he retired twice, and immediately became just an average team. It truly is individuals like Jordan who make greatness and it is the search of capitalism to always find such people. Without those opportunities people like Michael Jordan just stay hidden from the world and explode in on themselves in the corners of life. And the world that the NBA supports now, along with the looter class of politicians like Barack Obama don’t understand greatness. They think like the management of the Chicago Bulls thought, that its organizations who produce greatness, not individuals. Yet, since Michael Jordan has left, the Chicago Bulls have never touched greatness again providing proof that the course everyone is on now is a lost, and empty chase for a utopia that only exists in the hard work of individuals who find greatness by committing to it with their total essence, and nothing less.

It’s not about Racism, but Behavior: What makes a good person turn bad

The Insurrection Act. The @realDonaldTrump administration should have zero tolerance for the closure of roads by the violent communist insurrectionists. https://t.co/FG0i0t2o0m

— Tom Fitton (@TomFitton) July 26, 2020

Equality based on skin color is the wrong argument. In American culture, its pretty much a non factor, there simply isn’t anywhere else in the world where so many diverse people can live together from different backgrounds without killing each other. Statistically, its not that blacks are killed by cops more than whites are, its that one culture tends to participate in crime more than the other and therefor finds themselves in trouble more. It’s not skin color that causes the problem, its behavior. And as I’ve said on many occasions, if you took all the protestors breaking in windows and beating people constantly at Black Lives Matter Marxist rallies and those of Antifa, I would bet that few if any of them have stable family backgrounds where they have healthy relationships with their parents and that their parents have good relationships with each other. Therefore, its not skin judgements that are the prevention of equality in the United States, or anywhere for that matter, but in the values that come directly out of family interaction and those who have tried to socially engineer family out of individual child development and replace those needs with government which of course has been a massive failure. When the government, particularly Democrats push racism as a platform plank, what they are really trying to do is divert responsibility they have of attacking as a policy the American family and the destruction of people that has resulted. It’s not as simple as simply crying “racism.”

The proposal of the Antifa terrorists and the Black Lives Matter Marxist is that equality means nobody judges anything and that good behavior and bad behavior can live in harmony. That the radicals of today’s youth can cover themselves in tattoos and pierce themselves until they look like some half nude derelict from New Guinea about to go head hunting in some tribe. The trend of our day is to embrace tribalism where our behavior reflects the primitive nature fearing malcontents of the earth instead of the forward-looking creativity specific to the human race where culture leads to science and thus creation. The proposal of Black Lives Matter for instance is to replace the nuclear family with a tribal approach which we all know where that leads. Visit any place in the world where tribalism is the dominate culture motivator and you’ll see people living in straw huts, broke and barely getting by, then you’ll understand how people in inner cities become so poor and depending on their tribal leader, the government, to support them. And why they pray to the gods of government for more money and shelter like some superstitious tribal elder praying for rain so that the tribe can eat instead of creating a job and giving many opportunities to have a good life through those efforts. That is what keeps equality from happening, it’s not skin color.

I could provide dozens of examples, but for the purpose of this article I can name one that is quite common. There was a family member fairly recently that had parents who were complete idiots, who in fact still are, but their path of destruction is purely psychologically—corrosive by the decisions they have made in life, not in born circumstance. All things being equal among these family members, they all had access to wealth, they all were white, they all had access to good family support outside of their nuclear family, but all the kids coming out of this particular set of parents ended up with lots of problems when they grew up. And that was the case of the youngest girl who was excessively beautiful physically and was smart, she had a lot going for her. But as I said, her parents taught her not to listen to people like me. The parents were the “no judge” types who wanted to smoke pot, have careless sex, and live as perpetual victims blaming everyone but themselves for the problems in their lives. So it was no real surprise that this poor girl started hanging out with the wrong people, started smoking, drinking, and doing drugs before she was even 16 years of age, and by the time she was 18 she was a hopeless tattooed freak with a baby on the way and almost no real job opportunities, or the ability to land a husband who might find enough value in her to support her as a stay-at-home mother.

I tried to help the girl, as I often do with these young people, but if they don’t listen, I don’t invest any more of my time in them. If they make bad decisions and become poison, I drop them quickly and move on because to be honest, there is never any way to undo the mess. Once people become tainted and damaged with drugs and illicit sex practices, they will never really recover their entire lives and will be a liability to society as a whole because of their bad decisions. In her case she rejected everything I said so I sadly left her to her path in life and watched her painfully go exactly where I was warning her not to go. Over the years, I’ve probably watched that happened hundreds of times and it always bothers me. Its not like we don’t know what will happen when certain decisions are made, we all do. But government over the years has sold themselves as a shelter to reality. Hasn’t anybody seen the Disney movie Pinocchio? As a culture we understood what bad behavior created in children and it has never worked that kids could drink themselves or whore themselves out for a period of time in their lives then magically start making $50K per year at a nice company with upward mobility in their future. It just doesn’t work like that.

So people hopeless and ruined because they listened to the wrong people, did all the wrong things in life, and knowing that they have limited options in the future because they look like people others should avoid, are using racism as an excuse to cover for their own bad behavior and they have no other option at this point but to find some tribe that might take them in and through mass, acquire some redemption in life through collective salvation, via, Marxism, socialism and communism. Now government wants to turn our youth into these jackasses, because they want to control the tribe these idiots join. They don’t want strong parents advising children how to live right, because government wants the misfits to lose their moral authority in life and to end up on the rocks so they can save them and make them indebted for the rest of their lives. Its actually a new kind of slavery that the Democrats are after by supporting these derelicts and these Marxist movements. But like the example I provided, its behavior that causes people to lose at life, not skin color. That girl I mentioned had access to everything in life, yet she turned away from it willingly, and now she’s looking at a loser life for the rest of her life. And people like her who may or may not have parents at all, go to the same place in life based on the decisions they make, based on the content of their character, and nothing else.

If a society wants equality, then it must act equally good—because that is the only path to good behavior and a strong society. Government is like the villains from the movie Pinocchio who turn the young kids into jackasses so that they can pull the strings on them for the rest of their lives and rule forever the minds of the masses through such a dereliction of self-esteem.

Moral Authority: Why its the most important form of capital in the world

Here’s the real problem with the Larry Householder bribery scandal. Its not about any dirty book keepers, or the large number of house members who thought Larry was dirty, or that he made a deal with the Democrats to be voted as speaker by not putting Right to Work on the agenda, its all about moral authority that was lost, or never maintained by anybody so when the time came to lead with moral authority, nobody could. Now that everyone is all bent out of shape that FirstEnergy funneled $60 million in what the media and prosecutors are calling bribes to help a few failing power plants in northern Ohio this attention has taken the light off Governor Mike DeWine who is breaking the law every day and to quite an egregious measure with his unconstitutional response to Covid-19. Larry Householder can justify a lot of the action by saying that he wanted to save the power plants because of the radical attempts by the Obama administration to shut down traditional modes of power and to replace them with Green New Deal methods artificially propped up by government. And Governor DeWine can justify breaking the law by saying that he thinks lives are more important and that his job is to save them. Of course the problem there is that it’s the media who is shaping all these stories and defining how they are measured, and ultimately, because nobody stuck to the rule of law and allowed themselves to become emotional, they were led astray to lose their moral conduct and become villains by default.

Remember in the movie ‘The Firm’ where the management pampered Tom Cruise with all kinds of benefits and even a girl that seduced him while on a company trip? Of course most people watching that movie can relate to what was happening, The Firm wanted to get some dirt on Cruise that they could use to control him, so by cheating on his wife, and having the fear of his wife finding out about the little affair, The Firm controlled the behavior of the Tom Cruise character. This is of course the kind of thing that goes on all the time everywhere. You can see it in just about every fraternity or sorority, or even in the actions of a Bachler party, where all the “bros” take turns having sex with a stripper in front of everyone else, so that they can all reassure themselves that “bros come before hoes” and that no matter what happens in the marriage, that secret bond will unite them together forever. This behavior is quite common whether it’s a bunch of people going out to get drunk together and learning secrets that might be revealed later, or some other immoral transaction, what happens is that the participants find that they must live in a bubble all their lives controlled by these events and that when they really need to provide leadership at key times, they can’t because other people have dirt on them.

I’ve read the affidavit on Larry Householder and I don’t see a lot wrong there that hasn’t been elaborated to fill the liberal filter of the political attack the Green New Deal radicals intended. Arresting political enemies and falsely prosecuting them is not a new trick, look what has happened to President Trump and the people around him. I view this Householder situation in much the same way. Only I don’t think Householder is like Trump, and managed to keep himself clean. It looks like some of that $60 million funneled through Householder for intentions of supporting House Bill 6 was used on personal needs—like new houses in Florida. It may have been a small amount of money relatively speaking, and Householder might have thought he could skirt the gray areas of the law for his personal benefit to a sum around $400,000, but what he lost in the process is moral authority. As Speaker of the House Larry had to remain clean of any impropriety, even perceived. He can’t have bookkeepers running around with shady intentions trying to make things look good on paper, then turn around and expect people to follow him. There is a cost to that. It might be made legal through a court system and eventually found to be proper—but the perception of his character was already ruined in the matter and that is a far greater cost often.

No question that a savvy political maniac like Mike DeWine knew that many members of the House had problems with the way Householder operated. Its not like there was unity in the House behind Householder. One of his partners in this FirstEnergy deal was Matt Borges who has been a shady, sneaky dude for a long time. He was at the center of a John Kasich overthrow of the Trump Ohio change that occurred in 2016 by trying to capitalize power toward the Governor once Access Hollywood dumped the tape about Trump talking about pussy on that now famous bus. Borges tried to tell supporters of the Republican Party that nobody talks like that in a locker room which of course everyone laughed at him and told him he had obviously never been in a locker room. In fact, every guy in the history of creation talks like that. Not always around women of course because that would be disrespectful. Borges wanted to maintain control of the Ohio Republican Party but times were changing and yes, people talk about pussy in the locker room. I came out against Matt at the time, click here for a review. So there is no love lost or a surprise that Matt Borges is in on something that might appear scandalous. Of course, someone like DeWine knows all these stories and he is willing to wait until its good for him to use them to his advantage.

It’s clear that leadership under Larry Householder was at best not just a House divided, but a Party divided, and that the second most powerful Republican in the state of Ohio had not done a good job of uniting them. Instead, there were fractures due to these side deals and shaky legal foundations of money coming from FirstEnergy. DeWine had dirt on Larry which prevented Householder from doing what he should have been doing since March when the Covid-19 virus broke with economic shutdowns evoked by the liberal Health Director for DeWine, Amy Acton. All Larry could do was talk tough but he couldn’t power check the Governor because he had lost the moral authority to do so, and the Governor knew it. Its not an accident that as the House has begun letting the Governor’s people know that they were planning to have witness testimony on impeachment proceedings that the FBI marched on over to the Householder farm to arrest him for bribery. And now, instead of having a conversation about all the legal failures of Mike DeWine’s actions on Covid-19 which are still crippling the State of Ohio with a madman’s view of reality, a political enemy of the left and within the Republican Party now has the House in chaos and everyone hiding in the cracks as now liberals plan to use this perceived impropriety to win elections in November. And that is the cost of losing moral authority. Moral authority should be cared for as if it’s the most important thing in the world. No dinner, no sex toy, no extravagant vacation is worth losing it over. No condo in Florida, no new car—nothing. Because when you need moral authority to do the right thing, you need it locked and loaded so that justice can occur—and not what we are seeing as a direct result of Larry Householder’s grip on the Ohio House.

Larry Householder should resign not because he did anything wrong “legally.” But because he lost his moral authority to lead well before the FBI arrested him over the FirstEnergy debacle. And once a new speaker is found, the ability to maintain moral authority is the paramount thing that should be maintained. Because without it, proper conduct and legislation just can’t happen. And after all we’ve been through in Ohio, there is nothing in greater need than the moral authority of any House leadership.

I Feel Sorry for Kings Island: More government tampering that is ruining yet another market sector

I did finally go to Kings Island to ride the new Orion roller coaster, and it wasn’t disappointing. It was fantastic and another fine treasure of the Cincinnati area. Kings Island did a great job with it, however, it was a sad experience. Sure, it was good to go to Kings Island again after the Covid nonsense, but it was a stifled reflection of itself. The thing for me that I couldn’t get passed after they opened again in July, once the government of Ohio finally “let them,” was the reservation system a day in advance. The masks I am against as well, but I am somewhat accommodating when on some business property where they require masks. But the reservation system was a deal killer for me. Well, as it turns out, they didn’t need the reservation system because there weren’t enough people wanting to come to the part to even worry about it. On a prime day for Kings Island to be open on a Thursday in the middle of summer, there were barely enough people there to fill the space at the entrance of International Street. Most of the rides were 5-minute walk-ons which is great for someone like me, but the pain I could feel from Kings Island wasn’t worth it. They were hemorrhaging money just for being open and it made me physically sick to see.

The scale of Orion @kingsislandpr is just magnificent. It’s so big. #life #entertainment #family

I was in the line for Orion when I saw a message from the Hollywood Reporter come through on my phone reporting that Disney had pushed out the release date for Mulan again along with any future Star Wars and Avatar films because of Covid-19. Looking around at the magnificent Orion roller coaster that Kings Island spent $30 million on, the largest investment in the park’s history, they were counting on long lines and for the park to become a vacation destination this year. But the Covid crowd attendance was devastating to them, and it was obvious Disney was thinking the same thing. They were going to hold out and not hemorrhage money on this current market that the government had severely interrupted by what they call safety. But to me it was all bullshit. Most politicians are not the smartest tacks in the box, most of them would not do well in the private sector so they hide in the public where the government can promise them a paycheck. Governors like Mike DeWine was a fine example of that, his reaction to Covid-19 was as a panicky parent insecure about their parental role in keeping children safe, so he was quick to distort the law and go all in on Covid-19 as a big government micromanager and to stick its fat ass in the middle of our economy to slow down everything. And it was costing companies like Cedar Fair Amusements millions and millions of dollars. And to add fuel to that fire, government could care less.

For readers of this article who don’t know my general impression of Covid-19 I think it’s a purely political thing, it has nothing to do with the deadliness of the virus. As has been proven, Covid-19 might spread easily, but governments around the world screwed up when they allowed radical medical professionals to establish new measurements on this particular coronavirus that were purely political. They gambled that it would be more deadly, hoped that it would in fact, so they could justify their political over-reaction to it. So I don’t trust any of the authorities involved in Covid-19, including President Trump. I think he got suckered into the alarmist propaganda of White House medical advisors during an election year and that he must play along, because many people who want to vote for him believe all the nonsense. But for the minds of the matter, Covid-19 was a terrorist attack on our economy and Kings Island was the obvious victim for sure. All during the “plandemic” I’ve personally been able to avoid a lot of direct impact to my life. I love going to restaurants, amusement parks, and movies, but I also love reading, video games, and hanging out with my family. So, with many of those social things not available I have just read more books. I have barely noticed what the outside world was doing. But I’ll say this, they weren’t going to Kings Island.

Government is there to help people conduct their business without killing each other, to establish the basic rules of an orderly society. It is not to get in the way of a micromanaged economy that puts severe limits on the creativity of the human race. What government has been doing and what Mike DeWine specifically was interpreting was his job as an executive of Ohio government was wrong. The media was driving the dialogue of falsehoods that even Trump had to follow, that the role of government was to keep people safe, which was clearly incorrect. And the attackers of America knew that they could really screw up our system by attacking the definition of “safe” with Covid-19. It was a plan hatched out of China after the last Trump trade deal and it involved many American corporations placing their bets on the eventual outcome which involved a collapse of American capitalism into much more socialism then eventually a united world under communism for which China would rule completely at the head of the United Nations. For me the obvious measure of lost billions and trillions of dollars from the American economy caused by this terrorist act was in entertainment. When people aren’t entertained and thinking about things besides basic survival, you can see the future GDP of our entire economy wrecked and destroyed quickly thereafter.

I know quite a few people who do work in the Walt Disney and Universal Studio theme parks in Florida and I have been curious what it would be like to wear a mask to those places and Kings Island gave me a snap shot of that effort. At Kings Island while I was there it wasn’t too bad of a day, it was about 84 degrees with the threat of rain most of the time. And let me tell you, it was hot under that mask, terrible even. No wonder nobody was going to the park and with around 4 weeks left to be open with all the payroll that Kings Island has on the books, it was clear they were going to lose many millions of dollars this year. They were losing money just to be open to keep what fans they did have plugged in enough not to lose their brand recognition completely. It will likely take years to build their business back up if Trump is elected and we get back to normal around the world on November 4th. But it will likely take much longer than that to get back to normal and that will be devastating to companies like Cedar Fair Amusements who run Kings Island. The heat at the Disney Parks would be much worse of course and its clear they are seeing the same kind of fan attendance which excites greatly the socialists who are clapping at the demise of American capitalism which is so well represented in our entertainment culture. The situation is far worse than even I had been saying, and the damage in many cases will be irreparable.

Vote For Trump: I don’t want to have to kill anybody

A lot of people have been asking me why I now where a leather vest everywhere I go outside of my home, and often while I am at home. Well, the reason is that I made a switch in my concealed carry options in 2020, well before Antifa got out of control, and the BLM riots, the corrupt politicians and media who are fanning the flames of communism to overthrow the America we all know and love, before Covid-19, back in the days of what we used to call “normal,” because being me makes a lot of people mad, and for dumb people, which are quite numerous, they want to end your existence rather than deal with you squarely.

That looks better for @realDonaldTrump but I think its a lot higher than that for Trump. More like +7 to 9 But remember, take NOTHING for granted. @DNC has no other option but to cheat and they are well aware of it. https://t.co/5xImYIqmRl

So, I made an upgrade to my daily carry firearm from my cowboy gun, the Vaquero Colt .45 which you can easily carry anywhere without people really noticing it, to my .50 caliber Desert Eagle. Both guns have big bullets, but the Desert Eagle is a lot more powerful, shoots faster and can be re-loaded much, much quicker. With some of the bad guys who are out there these days, that is a needed assurance, to carry the biggest gun you can carry to deal with the level of violence bad guys today intend to use. I don’t see a little 9 mm to be powerful enough to stop a crazed lunatic strung out on oxy or crack. If they come after you, you may have to empty an entire magazine into them to put a stop to their ill intentions. So I needed to find a way to carry my bigger guns every day, so one of my new year resolutions for 2020 was to find a way to do so, and that’s why I wear leather vests everywhere now, and will likely forever continue to do so.

I discovered a specific kind of vest that is made by STS while shopping at a nice cowboy leather store in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. I was looking for things to wear to fast draw matches, but what I found instead were these leather vests that were designed to conceal carry. They were nice enough to go with my daily business attire so it was at that point that I decided to incorporate the STS vests into my daily life, which would allow me to conceal carry my bigger guns for personal protection and as a first responder to impediments of law and order. To me, a society that has been proposed lately by elements of the political left is off the table. I can deal with people who think differently than I do, or who are not yet as wise to the ways of the world and are learning like puppies just emerging from their mother finding their way in life. What I can’t and won’t deal with is insurrection of the American constitution on my watch. I will not put up with domestic enemies to the American way of life. So to me, the concealed carry right is an obligation to help law enforcement to do that job and I take it very serious. Like most concealed carry holders, I never plan to shoot anybody. I am the type of person who would always look for any other alternative. But surrendering our society to aggressors is just not something I’m willing to do, and that means that the means to stopping aggressive, anti-American forces must always be on your mind.

— Tom Fitton (@TomFitton) July 23, 2020

There is a reason that law enforcement in most cases supports concealed carry programs, and in counties like the one I live in where I know the sheriff personally and he knows who his helpers are to keep law and order in check as a first responder, concealed carry holders are also very responsible. They tend to stay out of trouble because as felons they could lose their rights to own firearms, and if they abuse the rights of concealed carry, they could lose it. So the smart police sheriffs around the country understand that the more concealed carry holders that are in the world, that the safer society tends to be. There are over 400,000 people in the county I live in, and shootings almost never happen between people. Largely because people at least respect other people’s right to exist. But in a lawless Democrat run city like Chicago where many of the suburbs around the city have just as many people, there are multiple shootings in the double digits every single night. Places like that are cultures in decline and it largely comes down to the philosophy of the law. Concealed carry is illegal in Chicago, and it shows. People do not respect law and order and they do not respect life, and there is nobody around to protect the innocent from aggressive elements.

There is a lot of fear that if Trump does not get re-elected that all of America will become like Chicago and for very good reason. Democrats are below-the-line thinkers who use victimization to overcome opposition to their desire to loot their fellows. So when their policies are at work in any community, state or country, we see natural breakdowns in the social order and violence always follows. Personally, I don’t think the election will even be close, I think Trump will win among free people easily. But, I also think Democrats will cheat, I do not have much faith in the FBI to not help rig the election and the big tech companies out there like Facebook, Twitter, and Google are going to do anything they can to help overturn America as a capitalist culture and throw it to the global communism movement led by China.

As a student of history, I know what happened in China in 1949 and what they did to people in the wrong political party. We’ve seen similar things in Germany and the Soviet Union. We’ve even seen it just south of Florida in Cuba. Well, that’s not going to happen to me, my family, my community, or my country. I prefer to defend our republic through legal elections by rules that all sides agree to. But if the other side isn’t going to play by the rules, and if they intend to break the rules so they can re-write them under the threat of violence, well that’s when things get nasty and we are obligated to bring out the guns to defend the American way of life from the insurgents who want it destroyed and us with it.

So I have upgraded my concealed carry options by wearing these leather vests so that I am always ready for anything that might happen, and I plan to keep it that way. Yet I still hope I don’t have to shoot anybody to defend America. I would remind everyone that it is far better to fight now with votes and the parameters of the law rather than to gather in small self-created armies to take America back through the spilling of blood. This little period between this writing and November 3rd will be the easiest and best time to save America without bloodshed. But if that doesn’t work, then we will have to fight the domestic enemies of America on the terms of violence that they have dictated. And when I define enemies of America, it would be anybody who won’t salute or stand for our flag. In so doing, even if people don’t agree to the same political philosophy, at least we can know who supports the rule of law and we can function under that shared assumption.

But those who hate the American constitution and refuse to stand for the flag are saying to the rest of us that they don’t agree with the laws and we don’t share them in common. So its war with those types by their own admission. And if they win in these upcoming elections and then seek to use their power base to undo our lives, then the fight will be much harder and bloodier. With that in mind, just as in concealed carry, we must all prepare for protecting the rule of law. But if the other side doesn’t respect it, we must be ready to engage them with more violence than they are threatening, to protect our republic. However, at this point, we still have the mechanism of an election and a good president to vote for that will preserve our society. So for now, we can still conceal our weapons in public and hope that peace can be achieved so that we can live our lives well, and without conflict. In that spirit I do dress differently now, I am ready for anything, but I keep that concealed under my leather vests as a fine balance between chaos and a functional republic for which I hope continues to stand.

Remember, Larry Householder is Innocent until Proven Guilty: Don’t be a sucker for liberal activism and DeWine’s desire to avoid impeachment

I think its first wise to remember that House Speaker Larry Householder from the Ohio House of Representatives is innocent until proven guilty. I happen to know personally that the House has been looking to garner support to impeach Governor Mike DeWine and Householder was obviously the leader of the House which would be required to put forth the hearings and to start that looooooonnngg process. So the timing of this bribery case with FirstEnergy and the two nuclear powerplants that were the subject of a recent billion dollar plus recovery which Larry Householder led the charge is very suspicious to me. I do like Householder, he’s way too liberal for me, but I think he’s a pretty good guy. The $60 million in what the media is calling bribery sounds like a lot of money to the young 20 something reporters who are just a few years removed from living in their parents house, but in the scheme of things, its not very much money. It is a problem if Householder used some of that money, roughly $400,000 on private desires, but we’ll see. There is an awful lot fishy about this entire case and the timing of it, and how quickly Governor DeWine asked Householder to resign his job as speaker.

Many have forgotten but the case at the press conference was laid out by the prosecutor, a Trump appointee I might add, was already covered last year and it was a nothing burger. FirstEnergy was a company suffering under the heavy Obama administration mandates for a emission free society and their whole purpose was to put companies like FirstEnrgy out of business, this political aggression going back for most of the last decade. It was the purpose of the climate change radicals and the Obama administration to put coal and nuclear power out of business in favor of solar and wind power. So its no surprise that Republicans, especially Trump supporters in elected offices, would want to reverse that trend and help Ohio with traditional jobs not destroyed by environmental activists and Marxist leaning political radicals. That was how Householder and others became involved in the very contentious FirstEnergy bailout. Its really not much different than the multi-trillion-dollar bailout the government provided everyone over Covid-19. When government makes your business fail, they owe you something, and FirstEnergy found themselves in that predicament.

I noticed several troubling elements of the press conference by prosecutors and the Cincinnati branch of the FBI, the case they spelled out, which they say involved a year and a half of investigation was essentially based on newspaper articles written by climate change activists in July of 2019. So, the investigation into Householder and others started the same time the debate began on this issue and was largely shaped back then by political enemies of Householder. The whole dark money distribution that the FBI illustrated in this case was already presented by reporters in nearly the identical detail, so that leaves the question to be answered, what new did the FBI and prosecutors do over that whole time, and why now exploit it for an arrest of Householder, the most powerful Republican in Columbus, Ohio? Even stranger, at the end of their press conference prosecutors and the FBI asked for more information on this case, as if they were just using old newspaper reports already on the record and trying to resurrect the story now hoping to bring forth more witnesses from the public during a highly contested election year, where there are fights for power in both houses—that might possibly be more friendly to Governor DeWine? Hmmmmm. Its something to contemplate.

Radical climate change activists have witnessed in 2020 realizations they could have never dreamed of in 2019, watching all of society essentially shut down over Covid-19, watching Mike DeWine essentially turn into a Democrat, and to see fractures in the Republican Party crack along the dealing with the self-imposed crises. The time to strike at Householders grip on the Republican Party was now, and perhaps an even greater ally in DeWine could be made as he moved obviously much further to the political left. That’s just a thought I have based on experience. It wouldn’t surprise me if all that was true, and additionally, if the former Attorney General himself didn’t put the FBI on the breadcrumbs of the FirstEnergy relationship with Householder to shake off talks by the House to impeach him. I don’t think anybody would argue these days that any such contemplations are beyond the realm of reality. Additionally, due to the lazy investigation by the FBI and federal prosecutors it looks like they are on their own marketing campaign to restore faith in their services, but that they were so lazy, they didn’t even do their own investigation, but simply lifted their case off the ‘The Intercept’ reporting on the matter July 26th of 2019.

Politics is dirty business, its hard to keep people honest when access to so much money is flying around. Good people go bad all the time and bad people are attracted to the profession for all the reasons that the media and political enemies of Householder are piling on to crucify him. Hidden in their comments are traces of anti-American Marxism and a downright dirty hatred of Republicans who promote profit for any company. We are to believe that FirstEnergy is a vile “capitalist” company that needs to be brought down because they are not committed to the zero-emission green new deal standards of the communist climate change activists. So, any definition on the matter other than the one they have established becomes the media standard and Householder and his partners must defend themselves from that guilt first stance. It’s the same liberal argument that assumes that every white person is guilty and owes people of color reparations and should kneel before the National Anthem to show solidarity to some minority group.  Climate change is the same kind of radical argument, earth first instead of using the earth to advance mankind into an interplanetary species. This case is very much about taking out those who stand against climate change and other progressive platforms and advancing in the minds of voters the merits of new forms of energy, even if they do suck in delivery.

When the House debated House Bill 6, which is what it was called in 2019 what Republicans eventually agreed to was that to save the cost to the monthly bills that the bailout would cost customers, it was agreed to sunset many of the green new deal aspects of the regulatory mandate, which offset much of the incurred costs of the bailout. That’s what the climate activists are angry about, and that is essentially the case that the FBI has against Householder, and that is likely why Governor DeWine is quick to jump on the bandwagon. He’s turning toward more liberal vantage points anyway, and for him, it kills the talk of impeachment led by Householder because it forces the House to re-establish their leadership culture. And not to mention, Democrats are looking to flip Ohio to blue and to attack Trump energy policies. By sending a few dozen Republicans from the House into a FirstEnergy bribery scandle a few months before the election, they achieve a lot of what they’d love to do to harm Trump’s grip on Ohio. DeWine isn’t a big Trump fan, like John Kasich, he’s more of a Democrat. Who doesn’t think he’d assassinate Republicans calling for his impeachment by calling in favors to a liberalized, activist FBI and Department of Justice trying to support a governor they’ve known for a long time and to pull the party back to the left where it was before President Trump? I think DeWine is just that kind of guy, and an alliance with Democrats gets him what he wants. He loves Amy Acton, it looks like he would become a liberal if they’d have him, and this attack on Householder is just the way to do it. Hmmmm, I bet these thoughts are much more than fiction. Likely, they are the true story of what is really going on……and it wouldn’t be the first time.

The Trump Interview with Chris Wallace: If the President doesn’t win, there will be a vicious war

I thought the Chris Wallace interview with President Trump on Fox News Sunday was very good, and it showed clearly what is at stake with this next election. But I also think that everyone missed the point in the matter, the merits of the interview escaped them. Obviously, Chris was trying to play the Democrat representative with “gotcha” questions to stump the President. And Trump was classic in many ways showing exactly why he won to begin with. The biggest difference with Trump which people love and hate is that he’s not afraid to go anywhere and talk to anybody about anything, and both sides should agree that’s a good thing. However, we are not talking about normal times. The political left, which Wallace represented the nicest aspect of their point of view want an all out revolution and the topic of the interview really boiled down to one element, whether or not Trump would respect the results of this next election or if he would fight the results. Trump was elusive on the subject and for good reason. The Democrats plan to cheat, and they wanted Wallace to pin down the President to see if he would respect the results whatever the methods. Yet with all that has gone on so far over the past 4 years, the Democrats never respected Trump being elected, and so it should be said, they have a problem. Because if or when they ever get another president from their side elected, they shouldn’t expect to be treated any better than what they have given Trump, our representative. They have declared all out war and the only thing that has kept things peaceful is that we have a representative in the White House. Surely, they don’t think they are tougher than we are.

I watched over the weekend Michelle Malkin get attacked on stage at a Stand with the Cops rally in Denver, Colorado, rather viciously as Black Rights Matter Marxists charged the stage to assault her. The audaciousness of it took even her by surprise. I watched No Mask protestors clash with BLM and ANTIFA types at the Statehouse in Columbus, Ohio where dummy Mike DeWine, the liberal governor there has really screwed things up between the various factions politically. We are getting very close to all out armed combat which almost happened at that statehouse protest. Then of course there were the various riots across the country particularly in the progressive city of Chicago where organized attackers assaulted the police with frozen water bottles and umbrellas to hide their faces from identity so to escape eventual arrest. I would offer that if Trump is re-elected, which he should be, that things might die down a bit as the hope of insurrection from the political left would wear away at them. But if Trump isn’t re-elected and a radical progressive agenda is attempted to be put in place, then these fights won’t be anything. Real violence will break out and tempers will escalate to something nobody is prepared for.

Its not just Trump who assumes that these radicals who have direct connections to the Deep State are going to try to steal this election any way possible. Therefor, we don’t trust the results that will occur unless Trump is the next president. Any other outcome will lead to a war within the states. People in general have been very patient with all the crimes we have seen our government commit, but as long as Trump was our representative in the White House, we were willing to put up with it. Sure, we’d like to come to Michelle Malkin’s defense, and the countless other people harassed openly by attackers from the radicalized Democrats moving toward an objective of all out insurrection. But we keep hoping that someone is going to jail over the FBI debacle, the Mueller Report, and the Democrats deep ties to the Obama Administration spying openly on the incoming Trump Administration. We keep hoping that justice will be done so we keep our guns on the racks and our tempers in our pocket. However, the moment that none of those things are possible, where Trump isn’t in office anymore, whether that’s in 2020 or 2024, a rage of anger will emerge that the left isn’t prepared to deal with.

There is a very good reason that so many people don’t trust the government over Covid-19, its because they know and remember all the lies from before which show that government will lie, cheat and steal anything to acquire power, so there will never be unity behind an American reaction to coronavirus. There are only the suckers, and the skeptics in the matter and it was government that created that. People aren’t at fault for questioning things. They have a right to, and the government has let them down time and time again including in the present where they have been caught politicizing Covid-19 and now people see that there aren’t deaths or hospital overruns, that much of the coronavirus has been an overaction to nothing, and they are upset that government destroyed their lives over it. Those people are not following P&G to kneeling before almighty government and sucking the wee wee of Governor DeWine who has moved even further left than the never-Trumper John Kasich. They’ll boycott P&G, throw out the governor and start making plans to really fight in the streets. So far, the left has been unmatched because the political right is counting on Trump to win. If that is not an option and desperation takes over logic, look out.

I remember the early Tea Party meetings after Obama was elected. Back then we weren’t sure if he was a socialist or a terrorist bred for the job by Bill Ayers from the University of Chicago sent to us from Kenya. And people were ready for war then. Now that we’ve seen what we have, the day after the election will be bad if Trump is not the representative in the White House. I don’t think anybody on the political left, including Chris Wallace understands that level of anger. It was the anger that put Trump in place to begin with. Removing Trump won’t make that anger go away. Not having him as an option will however exacerbate that anger to levels that will make the current riots in the streets look like a playground for children. We’ve seen what the government of St. Louis is trying to do to the McCloskeys for using guns to defend their home from an angry mob. Nobody this time around thinks that justice is on their side, as the FBI has clearly shown us. And when you take all that hope for justice away, the Left is gambling that people will break and hide in their homes the way the Covid-19 experiment has shown. But always through this election year has there been hope that next week or next month, things will get better. The moment that hope is gone, so will people’s tolerance for evil. That is what I saw from the Chris Wallace interview with Trump, a barely understandable grasp of reality from the Democrats as to just how angry Trump supporters are toward that party and that if Trump did lose, what the next day would look like. And when people watching saw unconsciously the same thing I did, they were suddenly a bit more terrified than they were before, and for damn good reason.

The Plot of ‘Hamilton’ (the play) Reveals the Marxist Revolution of Covid-19: Why CEOs, politicians, and general losers help spead terrorism to save their own necks

By now dear reader you know that I was completely correct in stating very early that Covid-19 was a global terrorist attack against any notion the world had toward free markets, particularly in the United States. Those who have a hard time believing the vast conspiracy might say that something that large scale would fail, it’s not as if there was a big meeting with a playbook handed out saying that Doctor Fauci would do this, the World Health Organization would do that, Amy Acton in Ohio would bend the ear of Governor Mike DeWine by showing him her tits at just the right time as the sun was at a certain point in the sky and an eagle flew by with a fish at exactly 500 feet above the surface.

Hiring Liberals Was Policy: CDC Employees Made Over 8,000 Political Contributions to PACs Since 2015 — Only 5 Were to Republican Causes https://t.co/zJmB5X5gDa via @gatewaypundit

Its not that the plan had a bunch of elements of insurrection in it to pull off the heist of American freedom, rather it was planned for decades to be unleashed through our education system at a future date where it could be attached to a crises. Those insurgents picked Covid-19 before there was even a Christmas of 2019 and the ball was in motion before the world celebrated a New Year of 2020. Its not that all the participants were following orders, its that most people were trained already how to act before the act was a thing.

But now you can see what was behind the Covid-19 scheme from the start, it was Marxism designed in the rules and regulations of the World Health Organization and flowed down through all the many colleges and their students around the country. A year before Covid-19 economic shutdowns were implemented in March of 2020 Mike DeWine and his lover Amy Acton the Health Director of Ohio sought from congress emergency dictatorial powers, so the dialogue was well in play while the rest of us were living our normal lives of Christmas shopping in July, baseball scores, and pre-season football not knowing that global Marxists in doctors clothes this time would be on the attack for American liberty. Marxists had tried the red flags of Antifa, the terrorism of ISIS, the backstabbing aggression of China, and many, many wars fighting communism at the level of the military all over the world, from Cuba to Vietnam. Now they had trained their doctors, Hollywood had made the movies planting the seeds of fear in the public, and 2020, during the Trump re-election year the attack would come from the medical industry trained by Marxist schools of thinking to implement a new normal in the world that robbed America of its power, would put the breaks on Brexit, stop the revolutions in Hong Kong and Iran and get normal everyday people to accept Marxism as a day to day occurrence.

Its not that every corporation in America was in a super-secret Bilderberg meeting where they were given the roadmap to insurrection. Rather, their CEOs were trained to take the middle ground on every issue which would make them easy to control. What was it that Aaron Burr said to Hamilton in the now famous Broadway play, “don’t let them know what you’re against or what you’re for. You wanna get ahead? Fools who run their mouths off wind up dead.” That’s how they teach people to fall into compliance. Of course, everyone knows that Aaron Burr killed Hamilton in a dual, and that was the climax of the Hamilton play. It’s considered high art to see a play in New York so many of the top CEOs in our nation attended that play, and other liberal artistic events around the country, whether it’s a PGA match, a tennis tournament, or just a wine banging dinner party in someone’s penthouse where the women don’t wear bras and their evening wear shows their breasts every time they bend over a bit. It is there that minds are made and strategies are fashioned and the words of the artists plant the seeds of compliance into those unwilling to rock the boat as they have been granted positions of respect as a revolution of Marxism was fully brewing. That is after all what the re-imagining of Hamilton, a founding father was in that Broadway exhibition. It wasn’t to celebrate the Revolutionary War, but to retell it from a minority perspective, and inspire them to have their Marxist revolution at the first chance possible.

So it was planned to have a Covid-19 shutdown, to expose the weak governors and CEOs in America who were trained to do what they were told, not to think for themselves and then to use their level of comfort against them to do anything to save their own necks once they were tricked into supporting Marxist policies. Everyone trusts doctors, right? So, they used doctors as a Trojan Horse to bring terrorism to America in a way that 9/11 couldn’t. The terrorists learned not to attack America directly, by bringing down their buildings with bombs and attacking their great economy with violence. Because Americans would just rally behind those acts and unite to fight a common cause. No, this attack would get them in their homes and take away their essential freedoms shattering their confidence on their home turf. The terror of a deadly virus would do the work of terrorism before conducted with actual violence. If you wanted to hear the plot, all a person would need to do is go to a “Hamilton” after party in New York where the liberal and famous would talk openly about the plot. Or you could go down a few blocks to the Saturday Night Live after party and hear the same kind of thing—liberalism bragging about their intentions for progressive revolution and Marxism for all. For those in those inner circles, the attack was decentralized. It didn’t have a general. It just had radicals trained in Marxism who were willing to wear the mask to undo America from within.

CEOs heard the warning from Burr, “fools who run their mouths off wind up dead.” If they remembered nothing about the Hamilton play and knew even less about the actual history they would know that Aaron Burr was a member of the actual highest orders of the Illuminati and he had plans to start his own country, and when it failed, fled south down the Ohio River to avoid the fate that Thomas Jefferson had in mind for him as a terrorist himself. What people saw at the end of Hamilton was the hero killed for all the good he fought for by the man who gave him the warning at the beginning. And once back in their cars driving home, and enjoying their lives as captains of industry and wanting to preserve that station as much as possible, they found themselves helping terrorism hoping that when the next Marxist revolution came, that they might be allowed to stay in the ruling class, due to the favors that were done. That is how Wal-Mart, Target, Disney, NASCAR, the NFL and all these other big companies hope to survive the new Marxist revolution that was always planned to come as a result of the terrorism of Covid-19. Government used the virus as a grab for power and control over all aspects of the American economy, and they have no plans to give it back.

We know the Covid-19 scam was false because of the way tests for positive antibodies have been counted as positive COVID cases. That is the reason for the explosion of results that we are seeing in places like Florida, where Trump must win in the upcoming election. The way that testing has been conducted and the kind of federal money that is attached to the results are how you can tell. But once people realize that the testing is meaningless and that the media has been crying wolf all this time, the plot quickly falls apart, as it is now. This isn’t the revolution that the Marxists wanted, and this isn’t the way it happened in the play, ‘Hamilton.’ The case is literally falling apart in front of the terrorists very eyes and panic is setting in. Which is good, because America is writing its future as we speak, and the fight for freedom is quite alive and well. And one thing that is truly scary to the terrorists of Marxism is that if people aren’t afraid of being killed by the attackers, because they are more prepared to do the killing than the terrorists are, then what happens then? Well, we are seeing it, and its not good for the Marxists.

Corporations are Learning Who is Really in Charge: Customers are earned, not slaves to progressive sentiment

Most of my readers don’t like it when I do Star Wars articles, but especially in a post Covid-19 economy, or the economy that we’ll have after the November of 2020 election. I take measurements from many places and see the breadcrumbs in the least likely locations, certainly not places others in the economy are deducting wisdom from, so these occasional side roads are useful to readers with a mind to consider them. Many of the predictions I made about coronavirus, the Marxist plot that is global in nature and has seeped into our medical system at all levels, and the push by politicians to unite the Democratic Party behind sheer chaos and below the line thinking were made by using the places I look as opposed to what others do to arrive at conclusions and for me, the way Star Wars has evolved over the last few years as a property now owned by Disney. What I am saying about Star Wars, and what I have said over the last ten years or so are very much part of a micro economy that could tell the future story of Nike, Disney as a company, the NFL, NBA, Wal-Mart, just about any corporate entity that is trying to align itself to deal with this next decade that is unfolding before us.

First, I have to say about Star Wars and what Kathleen Kennedy did to the expanded universe that was so popular in the books turned out to be correct. Disney finally after the ‘Rise of Skywalker’ movie came out has had to decide to get George Lucas involved again along with Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau to repair the franchise and one of the ways they are planning to do that is to repair the fan relationship to the expanded universe, just as I said they had to do. Kathleen Kennedy for those who need the review really screwed up Star Wars when she brought social justice elements to the film series and watered down the content so badly that with all the power that Disney has had fans just didn’t like it and the brand was severely weakened by the experience. I personally liked ‘Rise of Skywalker,’ but that was largely because Kennedy stopped screwing up and let the new generation make the movie they knew fans wanted. The contents of the story were not very good, but it was a step in the right direction. But now, Disney knows what it must do. It would have been better for them if they had listened to articles I had written on the matter before they destroyed their market share, but its better late than never. The big sign that getting George involved again is that they are apparently resurrecting the character of Mara Jade from the expanded universe, which is good. Kennedy had figured that people would always love Star Wars so she could afford to abuse its relationship with the fans and inject all the progressive talking points as a lesson to the viewers and a way to shape society in a more progressive direction. Obviously that plan has fallen apart and she is now out in Lucasfilm, the company that makes the Star Wars films for Disney now, as Favreau and Filoni are now running things with the original creator, George Lucas.

Kathy Kennedy is a product of the Hollywood culture, she and her husband Frank—the guy who got hit in the head with a chop block in ‘Raiders of the Lost Ark’ have been producers for a long time, most of their adult lives. But in all that time they never learned to make movies as good as George Lucas and Steven Spielberg. They witnessed up close how things were made and based on that it should have been assumed that they could make the pie as good as anybody. But they couldn’t and never did. At best, as in the Jurassic World movies they were able to copy what their teachers did, but they couldn’t produce original content. And in Kennedy’s case, who had been involved in movies like E.T. and every other big Spielberg film, she was so oblivious to the elements of what makes a great film, that she assumed Star Wars as a property would survive just by putting up the images and music, by in turning the whole franchise into a Black Lives Matter campaign add, or in returning to the progressive days of women victimization as if Democrats still thought that they were fighting for the right to vote. She was considered the best in the business of all the minds in Hollywood, and she didn’t understand. I did of course and so said way in advance of the trouble. I know why she and others didn’t know and I have put those reasons in my new book The Gunfighter’s Guide to Business. Not specifically about Star Wars, but more about how such people lose sight of the original goal of something.

The same thing that happened to Star Wars is going to happen to virtually everything else in the American economy. Such as the audaciousness of Target and Wal-Mart to become among the many companies demanding customers wear masks before shopping in their facilities over fears of Covid-19, or NASCAR banning the Confederate Flag and promoting Bubba Wallace, a very average driver who likely only has the job because he’s black, as the second coming of Christ. The fans get it, yet the corporation of NASCAR who wants to keep the sponsors all lined up is only thinking of the elements of what make people attracted to the sport, not the sport itself. Due to the shut downs and Marxist takeovers of many sectors of America’s economy people are still doing what people did, just as people who were Star Wars fans moved on and did other things once Disney screwed up the expanded universe, but the corporate heads have failed to assume that they can control their customers, not the other way around. It is the customer who ultimately votes with their wallet. Its not FedEx and other companies who threatened to take money away from the Washington Redskins to change their name in the NFL to make a bunch of Indians who weren’t complaining about it, who are in control. It’s the beer chuggers tail gating at 6 AM on a Sunday morning in America who are, and by changing the name it is assumed that they’ll just follow, like the Star Wars makers thought audiences would follow if they still had space ships, but changed the characters from white cowboys to blacks and white women fighting for equality.

Markets aren’t created, they are discovered. What makes people want to buy this or that isn’t a creation of the big corporation, its uncovered by development. People like what they like, the corporations are not in control. Rather, it’s the other way around as Disney had to discover with Star Wars, a proven commodity until they put their micromanaged hands all over it with social messages instead of just a fun story designed to pit bad guys against good guys for a fight everyone could relate with. A customer earned is a valuable thing, but the customer isn’t married to an abusive relationship for the rest of their lives. People have choice and all corporations have to understand that the best they can do is give people what they want, and work hard to keep them coming. But nobody is going to cry if people stop buying Nike shoes because the NBA is thought of as a China loving communist sympathizer and ratings drop through the floor because people want to be entertained, not lectured to. Whether its Star Wars or Apple, whatever the company is, having a customer is a great thing, and they should never assume that customer will follow them for the rest of their days no matter what they do. At best, the customer will follow until the day that the company stops giving them what they want.

It is the consumer who is in control, not the government, not the CEO of some company, it’s the value of where a dollar is spent who is. And that is an element that all big government types have been fighting and refuse to admit to themselves is the case. But then again, Kathy Kennedy had been groomed by Hollywood all her life to be a great CEO of the best entertainment property in the world, and she screwed it all up in a few short years, likely to never fully recover. And the same will be the case for the many companies who jumped on the Covid-19 bandwagon to inspire progressive change in society instead of serving the needs of the customer—whatever those might be. And that is what is going to happen next in every aspect of the American economy. The needs and desires will go on, but what will change is who delivers those goods. Big corporations are very vulnerable, but the money that is spent is not. Someone is going to make the public happy. And that lesson is one that many are learning as we speak as the Covid-19 media hype has turned out to be mostly a hoax and people will remember who panicked and who didn’t, and the world of tomorrow will be shaped with that sentiment in mind.

Public Education is to Blame for the Marxist Attack against America in 2020: They obviously didn’t think things through

The first failure of all the chaos we are experiencing presently is education. Our public education dollars were wasted on the minds of these insurgents for Black Lives Matter and Antifa, and the intention of the instruction was to turn weak minds against America as agents of insurrection. As the political left tends to like to think of themselves as sophisticated for having progressive beliefs, truly the reality is that they are not the brightest tacks in the box which is what makes them so dangerous when a political party like their’s advertise themselves as sophisticated, and even moral. Smart people tend to give dumb people a little room to learn the things they need to learn in life because the smart people are generally happy. Yet the bad education of our public schools taught the very stupid, and lazy that the way to get along in life was to harass smart people into compliance with the mob and for years, rather than fight, smart people just went somewhere else where they could think about smart things undisturbed. It doesn’t matter the color or the sex of the individual with thoughts on their minds, one thing that they all have in common is that they generally like to be left alone. That’s why they are smart, because they think of the consequences of an action usually before doing it.

Black Lives Matter is a Marxist organization and is a domestic terrorist cell in America. Good for those fine ladies. https://t.co/Is5L868Nob

Watching these mobs of leftists who are obviously agents of modern day communism rip down statues, throw things at innocent people and hit them in the head on city streets, and to generally cheerlead the complete defunding of the police, they obviously have not thought about the consequences. Their violent threats against normal American people functioning under capitalism and the rule of law can be viewed as nothing but an attack, and only a stupid person would think its OK. The actions of congresswomen Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rahida Tlaib, and Ayanna Pressley have only seen the light of day because people are generally smart enough to not throw their carcasses across the hood of a car and skin them alive for attacking our way of life the way they have. But don’t think that people aren’t thinking about it. This isn’t high school, this is real life. Its not racist to want to attack someone who is coming after you. White people can’t change their skin color either. And standing by and being quiet while attackers seek to change life as we know it into a socialist terror just isn’t something that will be acceptable. For these attackers against America and the Trump Administration in general whom we elected to represent us, most of us still believe in elections and a respect of the rule of law. Take that away, and what do they think is going to happen? People are not just going to sit around and take it, the way they have. They haven’t been respectful of our laws, so what makes them think that the silent majority will suddenly obey their laws if they manage to cheat their way into an election and gain the powers of office? Their public educations didn’t tell them the results, instead, they led them to believe that they could get away with it and bring to America a socialist coup.

If there were no police, or courts, or jails, then what is stopping any of us from completely eradicating their existence from the face of the earth? I know quite a few people who consider themselves among the 3%, which they call themselves as a tip of the hat to the Revolutionary War. It was only 3% who fought in that war for independence, and likely if there is some kind of Marxist takeover of the American government, the same type of numbers will resist them with extreme violence which is permissible by our Constitution. Its expected even. A quiet compliance to authority is not in the cards, let’s just say that. Before Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and her Antifa radicals start telling anybody what to do under a Marxist regime, she will be faced with armed conflict which none of her people are prepared to deal with. So that is the end game, and what the public education institutions ignored from the beginning. Public education was formed as the political left’s version of a re-education camp to train kids to think away from their parents and turn them into soldiers of insurrection, not to make them into productive people as adults. That’s why so many of them are lost presently. Fortunately for those who have decent families to teach them anyway, many grow up to become functioning people. But some grow up into losers like Alexandria Cortez and terrorists from Somalia like Ilhan Omar. Using a shield of racism, they seek to turn America into Somalia, not to run from places like that and seek shelter in freedom.

People were willing to give these attackers a little slack until they saw what they intended. I have always warned about it, but some people need to see for themselves, and now that they have, if a representative like Trump is not their to stand in the way of violence and mayhem, then without hope, they will attack those insurgents and the real violence will begin. Once you take away hope from people who aren’t stupid, you give them no choice but to fight back, and because they were smarter to begin with, they can devise more ways of violence than the stupid thugs that we see on the news destroying our city streets by weak governors and blue mayors. I know I don’t want to hurt anybody but if I can’t call the police, or prosecute in a court of law because they have all been taken over by socialist radicals committed deeply to Marxism, which is what many of us have learned during these 4 years of Trump, not in what he did, but in how the Deep State reacted to him, then eliminating the opposition is the only step left. Surrendering to their authority simply is not. I’m not going to do it, and they don’t have enough people in the world to force the issue. The great thing about modern warfare as opposed to sticks and swords from the past is that smart people can use science to vanquish their foes. And that is at the heart of freedom wherever it tries to grow.

To say that public education was agenda driven and that people didn’t want to see what was happening to their children is an understatement. But even as I have pointed this out for decades under a flag of civility, I can predict the end just as easily. The administrators who hatched this plot with our education system to the people teaching it did not think of the outcome that would ultimately defeat their intentions. They aren’t ready for the level of resistance that will meet them because they assumed that in the past when people did not fight them, that taking over America would be easy. What they didn’t pay attention to was that people act just as they do in high school, they hide in the shadows just so they can get through the day and get home to where they think its safe for them. In this case, people moved out into the suburbs to be away from liberal mayors and cities. But when pressed, people do and will fight if they see no other way out and that is what is happening presently. They’ll vote for Trump and if he doesn’t win and the Marxist think they have the keys to government, then that government will be wiped away by elements beyond their control. And that isn’t what their socialist teachers taught them in civics class. But they are going to likely learn the hard way.
