Ocasio-Cortez and the Hollywood Change Agency

The enemy is certainly alive and well in Hollywood and I now know the origin of Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal. I had some time over this past weekend to catch up on some movies I had been wanting to watch. One was the Watchmen which was finally on Netflix. It was a movie on my list for about 10 years so I finally had a chance to see it, so I did. I liked it quite a lot but the them of it is pretty sad, human beings are faulty creatures’ intent to destroy themselves without some kind of unifying intervention. I watched a few more films, uneventful liberal propaganda, but another Netflix production jumped out as relevant especially for the uneducated millennial generation that it was targeted for, a film called IO which is the name of a moon around Jupiter where the human race had fled to once the earth became uninhabitable due to climate change. The movie just hit Netflix so I could imagine that after watching it Ocasio-Cortez and her band of Constitutional changing villains used the points of that movie to outline their Green New Deal.

There were things worth watching in IO but the premise was all wrong, it assumes that the earth is a living being that decided one day to change the composition of the atmosphere to rid it of mankind’s presence so like a bunch of idiots we evacuated the planet except for a few stragglers to colonize other destinations in space. The earth was literally trying to kill off humans as if they were a disease, a common theme among most Hollywood writers for many years now. The same elements were present in Zach Snyder’s the Watchmen, humans are faulty, intent to destroy themselves and everything around them, etc. Only in IO it was odd because the writers wanted to portray all the good things humans had done regarding culture and in the end the main protagonist stayed on earth to repopulate it living in harmony with earth’s rules and supposedly everyone lived happily ever after. The assumption in both cases was that there was always something out there that knew better than the human race what to do. In the case of IO it was the earth. In the case of the Watchman, it was Dr. Manhattan, whom I found most relatable. I’d watch the Watchmen many more times just to see more of that character alone.

Clearly Hollywood has been weaponized, I’ve covered all this before and how it came to be. They are not making the movies that made Hollywood so great years ago where studios made really good American art, such as The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. The enemy has taken over and in all cases for which it controls they are using the very well-known Kotter’s Eight Steps for Transformation. These rules are well-known among intelligentsia, there is nothing new about them other than their exposure to the general public. I personally love John Kotter’s work; however, the enemy is clearly taking the next step from Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals and is using the Eight Step for Transformation as outlined by Kotter in The Harvard Business Review to inspire politicians to become change agents instead of representatives in a great republic. The enemy has done what it sought to do, take over Hollywood, and the media in general and to weaponize sentiment so to create change, and that is the whole purpose of the climate change proposal.

When Ocasio-Cortez announced that there were only 12 years to live on earth unless we did something different like adopting her Green New Deal the enemy in general is establishing Kotter’s number one rule, to establish a sense of urgency. That is how change agents inspire people to follow them, whether or not the proposal is real, it is a tactic used to drive people toward action. Climate change and the deadlines set are nothing more than this. The earth doesn’t really care if humans are on its surface or not. The earth will be around long after humans have decided to leave just as it was around long before. The earth is indifferent to our existence just like other planets. Planets are not very wise, they aren’t writing great works of literature or contemplating the origin of the universe, they just sit in space reacting to the elements of existence. However, the enemy has to create the artificial sentiment that danger is imminent forcing humans to act against their best interests to save the earth from a phantom menace. But the operative word is “phantom.”

To accept that notion of climate change you have to accept the premise that humans are inheritably bad, which is what Hollywood has been trying to tell us about ourselves for the last thirty years. The Watchmen was a great movie but notice how people didn’t rush out to see it and don’t behold the characters in the same regard as opposed to someone like Indiana Jones. Indiana Jones is about the best that humans can be and it makes people feel good to watch a character like that. But most movie characters are about the worst that humans are which is trying to reinforce the need for change. The enemy needs the human race to see fault in themselves so that they will act politically to below the line motivations which are then rules by a larger centralized government managing those affairs, much the way the Church of Europe wanted to rule over monarchs calling themselves direct representatives to God himself. The modern equivalent is nothing more complicated, it’s an evil attempt to pull down the ambitions of the human race so that they will be inspired to act against their best interests and give power over to the centralized authority of dumb kids like Ocasio-Cortez and her band of climate change fanatics.

I wanted to watch the Watchmen because I had noticed that Zach Snyder seems to be officially now developing a movie version of The Fountainhead, which is one of my favorite novels in the history of novels. If anybody could do a real film adaptation of Ayn Rand’s work it would be Zach Snyder. Even though the Watchmen had elements of the enemy assumptions about the human race in it, Snyder likely went that way due to the source material, staying loyal to the original graphic novel. The Fountainhead will be a very controversial work that I think will be a rather dramatic answer to the change agency that Hollywood has become so in spite of all the elements we see today, I see big changes tomorrow. Not everyone is willing to serve the enemy’s wishes to turn the United States into a parasitic state of compliant losers worshiping at the alters of climate change by disregarding the best that humans can be, thinking creative beings. I honestly think we all maintain in us the good elements of Dr. Manhattan from the Watchmen and that our future is there, not in rising oceans and voodoo atmospheric anomalies. The earth is pretty dumb, and nature is as philosophically affluent as a rock. It exists and does what it does for basic survival, but nothing else. Whereas humans are trying always to become better and that makes them worth something in the context of universal history.

The Enemy

You have to understand that one of my good friends was just killed by a train in Texas. I’m still very twisted over the arrest of Roger Stone, the investigations of President Trump, and the obvious malice of the F.B.I. attempting to tilt the table in favor of Democrats during the 2016 election so regarding affairs of the “republic” I’m not in a very good mood. If it wasn’t so funny I would be even angrier over the proposed Green New Deal. I thought the old New Deal by FDR was one of the most destructive elements of a free thinking society and should have been eradicated long ago, yet here are political elements who want to go much further, so obviously its time to have a hard talk about when its time to have a real civil war again within the United States where violence is the only way to settle disputes, because the intellectual goals of the two sides are just too far apart. I think now is the time to do so, and I offer this article of opinion as a foundation for any legal issues that might take place later. Because personally speaking, I have reached my limit. I’m ready to defend the Constitution with force now, and that means that its time to define who the enemy is and understand why they are such. From now on I’m not going to rationalize how two sides can live together in debate as the republic was designed because the enemy as defined here doesn’t wish to have a discussion, or find truth in debate. They want to destroy us as Americans, and as men of family, and they don’t care who they have to hurt to get there which is why I now refer to them as “The Enemy.”

Many years ago when I first started this “blog” site I did so inspired by two of my favorite literary classics, The Federalist Papers and the Anti-Federalist Papers which were collections of essays written for newspaper publication around the time of the Federal Convention to hash out the details of what an American Constitution should be and what it should do to not only hold the country together, but still maintain the spirit of the Revolution so that individual rights could be maintained. It didn’t matter if the Constitution had been written now or 2000 years ago, what occurred in the newly formed United States which at the time was only 13 states was a giant leap in human thought, the idea of self-rule when for the entire known history of civilization people where always ruled by someone no matter where in the world someone may have traveled. Such a concept was worth the bloodshed of a future Civil War, the eradication of the Indian Nations, or any countries that might have tried to stand in the way, because the effort itself was captured during the formation of The United States and gave rise to a world power unlike anything that had ever occurred in all of history. And the philosophical foundations of this effort were captured in the debates of the Constitutional Conventions expressed in The Federalist Papers and The Anti-Federalist Papers. I devoured both as the Tea Party movement emerged in late 2008 and 2009 and found that I was much more of an Anti-Federalist than a Federalist and that for the coming decade I would offer my thoughts on these pages for others to consider in much the same fashion.

It was obvious to me that our modern society had declined to the point where intelligent debate was necessary, so I did my part and I hoped to inspire enough people to seek wisdom from debate to avoid violence. In that regard the modern Tea Party movement was very successful, the revolution was fought as it should be, through education followed by good elections. On the conservative side of things we rooted out the modern versions of Benedict Arnold, politicians like John Boehner and John Kasich from my home state of Ohio and we replaced them with the Republican Party of Donald Trump, which was very peaceful, lawful, and have launched the country into an era of prosperity that is unequivocal in our young country and have forced the world to look at themselves and make peaceful adjustments just to mitigate the risk of becoming globally irrelevant. Taking the long view, the Tea Party movement in the United States from 2009 to 2015 is the way that revolutions should take place, and it is certainly a testament to the strength of the American philosophy that was formed in The Federalist Papers and The Anti-Federalist Papers.

Nothing ever devastates me, I’ve been through everything and seen the worst that people can offer under the worst conditions. So when I found out about the death of my friend Doc Thompson I wouldn’t say that it changed my life or sent me into some shell of sadness. I accept tragedy as part of life and simply moved on to the next thing which for me was an oversea call with some important people. Later that evening after a 20-hour work day was completed I sorted out my thoughts on the matter and decided to re-read for probably the 25th to 26th time in a ten-year period The Anti-Federalist Papers, which took me about 11 hours stopping to eat twice. Doc Thompson I saw was a person who really believed in the American ideas created by the Constitution. As an authentic person it led to his eventual death, not by conspiracy as he was hit by a train, but by the fact that the world of media for which he wanted to work had closed its doors to him and his boss Glenn Beck and they were on the short end of a world that was changing by what I will call the Enemy for the sake of literary distinction.

The Enemy wanted to change the nature of the American Constitution and since Doc was a purist, he was on the outside looking in always trying hard to find a way to get his voice out to speak in favor of Constitutional principles. Unlike his friend Glenn Beck who had made a lot of money in his early Tea Party years at Fox News and was living well off it, Doc had never hit a substantial sum of money and was the living embodiment of what the Founding Fathers would have went through had America not prevailed during the Revolution, English society would have castigated them out of existence. But what occurred to me was that Doc wasn’t supposed to have those effects, none of us were. We had the Constitution and these modern efforts by the Enemy were not supposed to have the impact to our legal and moral system that they were. As I closed the book to The Anti-Federalist Papers for the latest time I realized that violence was inevitable in order to protect The Constitution that was born from that philosophic text written during that critical period of American contemplation.

One thing that really makes me sad however is that when reading those works, The Anti-Federalist Papers and The Federalist Papers it is clear that as a society people are not as intelligent as they once were, our education system has failed, our civilization under guidance of the Enemy has had a destructive influence over our children and neighbors and it really is a tragedy that must be rectified. The Enemy therefore doesn’t just deserve a day in court, they need to be eradicated from existence because they have shown themselves to be a menace. The Enemy are those who want to change the Constitution of America from a document that protects individual liberty to a means of empowering a larger central government to distribute collective salvation even to those who don’t deserve it. Through the actions of the enemy it naturally weakens the strength of The United States as the best light the world has to yearn for and is therefore up to malice that is not forgivable by civil discourse. So from that perspective the Enemy must be destroyed and removed from the political theater and the future of this site will make that case hopefully before bullets start flying. But likely the bullets will be discharged before all is well again because such a measure will be needed to protect the Constitution from domestic enemies who are trying to destroy us all by attacking the philosophic foundations of our very existence.

What I Think of the Green New Deal: The Old New Deal was a travesty, violance will likely be the only option in the future

Speaking from the perspective that I have as an Anti-Federalist kind of guy the old New Deal from FDR was pure socialism and should have never happened. It weakened our country greatly and it shows today in the people of our nation. So this New Green New Deal that socialist Democrats are proposing using panic driven climate change to create artificial necessity for communist oriented legislation is nothing but a pipe dream going nowhere fast. But I think its only fair to warn those people what will happen to them should they manage any level of success, such as winning enough seats of power to implement their ideas in the future, after all, there are many Ocasio-Cortez socialists coming out of our public education system, because that was their goal from the beginning. When Democrats put a kid like her out in front of an idea to propose socialism openly and aggressively, then we must all consider the eventual fate of a future congress and senate that my actually try such a thing sincerely and not as a circus stunt. And should that day arrive we who are sane and still free are required by the Constitution to defend it from them even if violence becomes necessary.

To make something like their Green New Deal the nature of the American Constitution would have to change from protecting individual rights, the way it is now, to something that morphs into the rights of planet earth and group associations as a collective whole. The nature of the Constitution would change, which if you talk to the kid Ocasio-Cortez, is precisely what she and her generation are looking to do. That puts the burden of sense on the rest of us who know better, even if we end up in the minority regarding public sentiment. Presently we have in our republic lots of older people some who lived during the World War II period so they have seen what America is supposed to be, if only for a short period in their lives, and they vote accordingly. The beat-up kids of today coming from broken families, rap culture music and socialist training in public schools do not have such history to draw from making them susceptible to the socialists who have taken over the Democrat party. They can’t read the ingredient label on a beer let alone read and understand the Constitution. That means that there will likely come a time when law and order will no longer protect the Constitution from those elements and we will have to turn toward violence to maintain the sanity of our nation.

We don’t have the Second Amendment to hunt rabbits or to shoot at cans on a fence post. We have it to protect the American Constitution from insurgents who want to make things like the Green New Deal into law and to take away the individual rights of Americans in favor of some nebulous religion built on superstition and liberal fantasies. Guns are the safety valve of our culture because it keeps bands of protestors such as Ocasio-Cortez might think to organize at a safe distance and away from our homes. In gun free zones such as New York City or the streets of Washington D.C. it is safe for them to express themselves with the kind of force they are implying to even propose a Green New Deal—a removal of individual rights in favor of global rights meant to protect the earth and not the people living on it. Should our government be taken over by such characters then the rest of us will have to protect the nature of our country unfortunately with violence because there would be no other option at that point and we will need weapons better or at least equal to what that government would send to our homes to enforce compliance.

Reading the reaction to the insanity of Ocasio-Cortez’s Green New Deal it is obvious that there are many people her age working in media today and that they are advocating for open socialism and communism across the world. I remember when I first started this blog over a decade ago and people thought my statements about the goals of public education were extreme and hate filled, because I insisted that we were breeding socialists in them and it was dangerous to our future. People like Ocasio-Cortez and the writers of The Guardian and Huffington Post currently were little kids back then being taught by left leaning radicals that things like the Green New Deal were needed, to hell with the Constitution. To them the Constitution was a living document which needed to represent the necessities of modern times, and from their perspective it needed to shift from protecting individual rights to protecting collective rights. So I am saying now that ten years from now when people like Ocasio-Cortez can run for president and actually sign insane bills like the Green New Deal that the Constitution may require violence to defend, because at that point our courts will be loaded with liberal activists and the House and Senate will fall to what we used to term, communist sentiment. Green is of course the new communism. Most of the young kids promoting the Green New Deal don’t have a good enough understanding of history to have context, but their objective is certainly radical and should they gain power by their sheer numbers, then it will fall on us in the minority to defend the Constitution, because they are seeking to change it into something else.

That leads to fair warning now so that we can all understand what that new world will look like. At that point guns would have long been made illegal because that is the only way a government can gain the kind of power Ocasio-Cortez wants to give it to enforce such a monstrosity as the Green New Deal. I personally think that the Trump presidency will hold and bring about another 16 years of Republican ownership of the White House, because people tend to vote for their own prosperity. The economy is great and in the end people are not going to vote against their best interests. But the threat is certainly there as proposed by members of the new congress with their insane Green New Deal. All the warnings that Ayn Rand provided in great books like Return of the Primitive are clearly evident. These are the products of the Woodstock generation who would rather dance naked and mindless in the mud rather than reach for the stars during the moon landing. The two visions are on the extreme opposite and cannot be reconciled together under one nation. The sentiments just don’t fit together. And should those radicals take over our government it will be up to us to take it back from them with violence. With guns and force. The words of the Constitution are only written, they require action to preserve. And when ideas like the Green New Deal are proposed we must come to terms with the intentions of the people who wrote them and understand that they mean violence to advance such a thing. So we must have in our minds the same, because it will be the victor of such a conflict that decides the way the world of tomorrow really looks. Peace with the radicals does not protect the Constitution or the nature of American citizenship. So it is not peace that is part of our future, but violence.

Remembering Doc Thompson: Be careful around trains and other things

I always liked Doc Thompson and I certainly think he was too smart to jog on train tracks with the music turned up too high on his ear buds. But accidents happen so let’s not muddy the water with conspiracy theories. Doc Thompson was a friend a mine who died this week and it’s a shame because he was certainly one of the good guys. He called me just a few weeks ago to see if we could work together on a new project he was working on. We had tried a few times over the year but we couldn’t match up and that is sad. I suppose that the thing I most feel bad about is the impact that his loss of life with have on his wife and kids. Doc and I were pretty good friends while he was in Cincinnati working at WLW radio. When he was terminated from WLW while on his honeymoon I never could forgive the people who were involved. It certainly changed all of our relationships. Doc invited me to their wedding and once they had left for their trip to Egypt WLW had pulled the rug out from under Thompson leaving him newly married but without the big job that he had. The reason was that Doc was just too Tea Party and not enough Reds baseball so they waited to part ways with him while he was on an extended vacation. Doc was a frequent contributor to Glenn Beck’s radio show when he was hot back in the day so after WLW Thompson headed toward Beck’s Blaze news and things were pretty rough for him from then on.

What I always liked about Doc Thompson was that most of what he did in life was out of autonomy, he was an extremely above the line person and was always full of hope. I don’t say that in a eulogy sense, but as a fact of life. It’s also why once he left Cincinnati we drifted apart. He was very much a purist who wanted to make a radio gig work in an age when radio was on the decline. He wanted a big syndicated show like Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh in an age when podcasts were becoming more the thing and there isn’t really enough money in that to become a celebrity the way it was done a few decades ago, so I sort of viewed him as a Don Quixote type who would with great purity challenge the way things were in the world. His devoted wife would follow him from city to city where she was always working as a television broadcaster supporting him and they tried hard to build a good radio job for Doc with their growing family in the best way possible and now it has fallen short. I feel bad for Doc for clamoring at success, but I feel worse for his family who will have a hole in it that will be impossible to fill. It’s not my normal thing to feel sadness about anything, but I do for Doc. He really did dream big but he could never get all the pieces together to make it a go.

He and I did many broadcasts together and at the front of the Tea Party movement he was personally riding the wave of a very successful future. He came to Cincinnati as their answer to an aging radio personality market to be the next Bill Cunningham and Mike McConnell but Doc just wasn’t interested in the sports part of the job. He had won several awards and still did a show in Richmond, Virginia and was on the rise a decade ago. But if there was anybody truly committed to a career in radio broadcasting, it was Doc Thompson. He eventually went to work for Glenn Beck and did television and radio for him and that is when our friendship separated slowly over time. Doc tried on several occasions to put together a deal to help Beck become the next Disney. I told Doc that I thought Beck was a loser going nowhere and had lost his nerve, he was never going to be a great movie producer or great author again. Beck had been spooked out of New York and was living off the wealth he created there and was quickly headed to becoming a nobody. That was before Donald Trump came along and I quickly joined the support of that campaign while The Blaze was clearly anti-Trump supporting Ted Cruz instead. Doc got caught in the middle of a fracturing Tea Party movement causing a rift that was impossible to pull everyone together.

Doc tried again after the election to get everyone on the same page. I had moved more into business challenges and was short on time. Doc left The Blaze in the fall of 2018 to start his own radio platform so he called me again to see if he could get help getting that moving which is where we find ourselves. We had promised to talk to each other in a few weeks that never came and that truly is a sad situation. Doc could have been anything he wanted and he truly was a purist at his occupation. He was fired from so many radio stations because he refused to compromise, which isn’t good in an industry where change is happening rapidly. But it is a good trait as a human being. Doc insisted on being an above the line person in a world obsessed with operating below the line. He was loyal which put him in Glenn Beck’s camp to begin with, but it also hurt him within the industry for all the same reasons that are against Trump now. The difference is that Trump fights back whereas Beck didn’t essentially destroying the opportunity of all the people in his media company to get buried in the industry.

The Tea Party is still around but much of what we had been concerned with was now in our court and I saw Trump as the way to take that next step. So I put my time into successful business as opposed to political activism because honestly it takes money to play the game at the next level and someone needed to have a responsible job which is the kind of support Doc Thompson was looking for, someone on the uptick who could help him get things off the ground from a broadcasting perspective. Many could say that Doc Thompson should have changed his approach to meet the times, but I will say that he couldn’t because he was an authentic person. He was very happy to announce to me on Christmas Day of 2018 that he was working for himself now and he wanted me to be involved. He had left Beck to do his own thing which was taking off. So it is very sad that his efforts came up short. If ever there was a more honest person in the broadcasting business, I wouldn’t believe it.

That is why I feel sad for his early death. He was a good guy who deserved better and his kids certainly were lucky to have him. They are the ones who will be hurt the worst by his loss. Our current society underestimates greatly how important dads play in their children’s lives and they have been robbed of that opportunity, of getting to know him and what he stood for. Many of the personal decisions that made Doc Thompson special are the things that people didn’t see, the decision to pick up a job in Detroit after being fired from WLW trying to do his own thing independent of Glenn Beck who was offering at the time to take Doc under his wing. At that time Beck was still doing well in New York and had not lost his nerve in the game with George Soros. Doc had every right to be angry at WLW for the way they treated him, but in talking to him Thompson was optimistic and ready to tackle another challenge. He could have sat around crying about things but that was never him and that is what I always liked about Doc Thompson, and that is what his kids won’t get to see on a day-to-day basis and that is why this early death is so terribly sad.

There is a Go Fund Me page for Doc to help with expenses if you are so inclined.

The Great Speech by Teflon Don: It’s not an insult that nothing sticks, because the President is just too good at what he does

Well, that was a great State of the Union speech. By now most reading this would have seen it or heard it for themselves and have likely been exposed to various opinions. But I don’t think any speech Ronald Reagan gave was better or more poised against a hostile audience than the one President Trump gave on February 5th, 2019. Trump was relaxed, funny, compassionate, and a real visionary as his speech went well beyond what I was expecting. It was hard for anybody to not like what was delivered regarding a State of America’s Union. The speech itself was a remarkable exhibition of leadership, because only a leader could have pulled off such a feat. Even the protestors who wore white in the audience to represent women’s issues were up dancing around due to the natural enthusiasm generated during the hour and a half delivery.

Trump was firm, funny, hauntingly reflective, fatherly, and tenaciously optimistic all at the same time. His speech addressed many things that nobody usually talks about, particularly regarding the concerns of socialism that has emerged in the Democratic party recently quite openly. In truth, America has never been more prosperous, unemployment is low, the economy is very strong but for the first time the world is not a threat to us. North Korea is coming to the table to negotiate further avenues of peace. China’s once ominous economy has been revealed to have been a fraud, artificially propped up by the media to look like a villain we all want to become, not just avoid. Russia is a non-factor in the affairs of the world. They can’t hardly afford to make bread let alone buzz American planes in the Baltic Sea. Iran is in the same boat, they don’t have the money to go to war. America is now the largest oil provider in the world essentially robbing them of any global leverage. They are headed to the same place Venezuela is now. Their number one product is now made and exported out of the United States leaving their bank accounts empty, and therefore ability to make war. President Trump has done something in just two years that nobody else could have, he has brought peace to the world by making the United States once again the top economy with the best prospects of success going forward.

The President made a great case for border security which Democrats are only against because they have signed up for the borderless world advocates vision, which is now long dead. People see what’s going on and they aren’t happy about it. To really understand why there is so much criticism of President Trump by way of investigations, bad media, and even internal leaks by the establishment caucus it’s because those elements feared that Trump might at some point give a speech like this State of the Union. They didn’t want him to name names and articulate the real strengths of the American idea, but in spite of all that they have thrown at him over the last few years, and the level of betrayal that has occurred, Trump gave the speech as if he had been doing it for a century and like a Superman who had all the bullets shot at him falling harmlessly to the ground with a smile on his face. For a Deep State that is used to frightening off presidents in the past from going too far, Trump has stood strong and even seems to be enjoying himself, and that was quite clear during the speech which I didn’t hear many of the professional pundits point out in the aftermath.

Even with all the effort Trump went into the speech with a Rasmussen poll that showed him at 48% approval, which is extraordinary considering there was just a government shutdown which was largely blamed on him. In truth things look very scary if you watch the news, most of the people directly related to helping the President have gone to jail or are in the process of defending themselves from having to go. Media types who supported President Trump from the beginning like Alex Jones and Bill O’Reilly are no longer players in the industry and have been removed from their audiences in an obvious move at censorship. There is a lot to be bitter about if you are a Trump supporter. But in all honesty, nobody is watching television any more, and they don’t read newspapers. The media does not have the power they once had and President Trump understands that. The Drudge Report and Trump’s Twitter feed alone has far more power and it drives everyone crazy, but its part of our changing world. We are in the 21st Century, things are supposed to be different from what they were in the past, and they’ll be even more so in the future.

While announcing the approval rating for the President The Drudge Report mentioned that Donald Trump was a “Teflon Don” in its headline which is to say that nothing bad seems to stick to him. Well, that term has been applied to me many times in my life so it garners some examination. When an enemy says about you that you are a Teflon person, meaning that all their schemes and attempts at malice fail the reason is that if you are an above the line person of great value, the world is desperate for your services, so the intentions of malice that generally control the world do not work. That is why Trump is a popular president even after 95% bad news coverage. What’s 95% of nothing essentially, when people don’t care or aren’t watching traditional forms of media, who cares what the percentage is. People tend to point out that all these new media companies are liberal, but in the marketplace of ideas capitalism has put them in the positions they enjoy, and they need Trump far more than he needs them. Twitter may not like Trump but he is one of their biggest users and the President has been able to reach people directly without a media filter for the first time in human history—and the effects were obvious at the speech. Popular and unafraid the United States had a President that gave a speech of optimism and warning in a way that has never been done previously, and it is what people will remember as they turn back to their lives after such a large political affair happening two days after a Super Bowl.

When people say about you that you are “Teflon” they are expressing their frustration that punishment doesn’t come to your doorstep the way it would them because as an individual you have too many valuable things to bring to the table than to have punishment expressed so to rob the world of your gifts. When you are an above the line person, people desperately want what you have to offer because often it’s their only hope out of their position. The rules of the rest of the world do not work on people who by their very nature contribute so much more than average people and that is what made the President’s speech so incredible. Even after all that’s happened, Trump was able to stand up there at the podium in Congress in front of so many political enemies and be just as relaxed as if he were wearing slippers in his home with his favorite pajamas perched comfortably in front of a roaring fire in his private residence. He was unfazed by the political turmoil that has been roaring and people saw it during his speech. Making his offering at greatness much more appealing than anything else any political figure has offered since the inception of our Republic.

Yes the Patriots Won Again: But why, and what does it say about the NFL and our political world

It’s only been recently that I have been a Patriots fan. I usually look at the Super Bowl as an American holiday in the middle of winter to fill those cold, long and boring months between Christmas and Spring, and I enjoy the festivities of it. I love the game itself, I love the commercials, and I love the general way it unites the country for just a few hours each year. But the NFL as a product over the last few years has become way too politically progressive and I found it alarming during Super Bowl 53 how much public employee propaganda was going on. I usually don’t care much about honoring firefighters, police and other government employee types, but this particular year it was way over the top. A lot of people don’t see anything wrong with such sentiments, but I see them as mental preparation by the “state” to impose higher taxes in the future to support the labor unions behind those job titles. The overall product that the 2018 NFL season seemed to promote were social justice concerns which appeared to be at odds with law enforcement and the military, so the NFL put forth a heavy dose of promoting both which all were way to far to the political left for my liking. However, I did enjoy the Patriots victory and the reaction to it which said a lot about the state of our nation.

It was obvious that Roger Goodell would have loved to have given the Lombardi trophy to anybody but the Patriots yet again. It was Tom Brady’s 6th and their ninth Super Bowl appearance under Bill Bellichick. The Patriots head coach was 66, Tom Brady himself was 41 and the NFL ran by Goodell truly wanted to have a younger Super Bowl aimed at the target audience of the game itself, those under 35 years of age, much the way modern politics does. But the game was a true representation of where the divide of the country currently is and I found myself rooting for the Patriots because of it. The Patriots are just a great organization, the coaches and players work harder than the other players in the NFL and the results are clear. And down the clutch with a game that was one big play too close in the fourth quarter, it was age and wisdom that beat the Los Angeles Rams and the disappointment wasn’t clearer on Goodell’s face.

I remember when the NFL ran Brett Favre out of the game once he hit 40. Surely that wasn’t the first time he pulled his pants down and showed a woman his manhood, but once he hit that age threshold, the NFL was ready for new blood and they pushed him out of the game. They’ve done the same to many players sensing that the public they have in mind are the youth. Just look at the way the media is portraying Payton Manning, and how he goes along with it, as a washed up used to be who is struggling to find relevance in his pro football years. The media is making a joke of it, and Payton is going along to get along. He understands the game and its sad. To stay somewhat relevant after the NFL Payton has to show that he’s in decline and something of a laughing-stock. That is how the NFL treats its elderly spokesmen. I didn’t enjoy many of the Super Bowl commercials this year mainly because they weren’t targeted to me. They were meant for the under 35 crowd and as we can all agree, that demographic is a lost generation born from losses before they were hardly born. What was with the beer commercial with the tattooed freak whispering? Dumb commercial for a dumb generation.

But Roger Goodell can’t live without Tom Brady and he knows it. Brady will go down in history as the best player ever and he’s a supporter of Donald Trump. The Patriots themselves are more old-fashioned American than the progressive desire for the nation in its present circumstances that wants to be more global and inclusive of other cultures. Goodell is more than willing to sell out America so that the NFL can gain international appeal and the Patriots are that grim reminder that the American game is different. The rest of the world can’t play American football, because the rules of conduct are different for us as opposed to them.

The formula the NFL has been pursuing, the kneeling at the National Anthem, the inclusion of women on the battlefield of the game, the inclusion of more progressive causes just do not match with the philosophy of working harder to become better than everyone else and to dominate your opponents. The Patriots have not had high-grade first round draft picks for years, they manage to always be a winning team by taking the hungriest players and putting them in positions to win. That was the story of Tom Brady himself who was a sixth round pick a couple of decades ago and has fought hard in his personal life to be in the best shape and best state of mind during that entire time so that he could be a dominate quarterback. Even in the realm of free agency, the Patriots have acquired and traded away many top name talent only to be good year after year anyway so long as they maintained the relationship between Brady, Bellichick, and Craft. That defies everything the NFL has tried to be, where each year the best teams are penalized so that new teams can be great by giving top draft talent to the teams most in need of help. The Patriots have shown that none of that matters. Top draft picks are often busts and don’t live up to their expectations whereas good coaching and mentorship has and does pull out the best even out of average players.

On the progressive side of things the NFL is about youth, where people are old once they hit age 35 and washed up meant for a trash heap. If there is anything more dangerous than the concussion protocol its millionaire players who were great on the battlefield who have to retire from the NFL only to become irrelevant as older people—above age 40. Progressives themselves are fundamentally about killing young people before they are born and once they have migrated out of their sexually prime years. Old age is not respected just as life isn’t in general. Only obedience and blind consumption is respected in progressive cultures, and that was quite clear in Super Bowl 53. So it was ironic that it was the oldest players and coaches with a team that has not won by new draft picks that was victorious. It was a good lesson on what really matters in these kinds of things.

It doesn’t matter whether or not anybody is a Patriots fan or whether they like Tom Brady. The facts are the facts. Late in the game when not a single touchdown had been scored and all things were equal, both the Rams defense and the Patriots were dominating each other it was age and wisdom that won out. Brady hit Gronk on the three-yard line for the go ahead touchdown. Just as Brady had done many times before. Only this time was a bit different. Everything was against Brady from making that throw and the Patriots winning yet another Super Bowl. Yet they did it anyway and that was why social media and the news in general came unglued after the game was done. It was a sign of more things to come from the progressive side. In spite of progressive hopes for change and youth culture, wisdom and tradition will always win out. And thus the future is before us with an optimism that wasn’t there before.

‘The Death of Ivan llyich’: Living the life of Csikszentmihalyi’s ‘Flow’

Everyone should read Leo Tolstoy’s little book published in 1886, The Death of Ivan llyich. It is the perfect story to exhibit what the great psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi articulated in his ground-breaking work on human motivations in his work titled Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experiences. Ivan llyich was a successful man who had cancer and was dying and he had to come to terms with the meaning of his life essentially as it was closing. Slowly had to realize that the social climbs he had done throughout his existence, his marriage, his career, the things he put his value in up until the time he found out it was ending were worthless and personally disingenuous. The book is important because the great Tolstoy was knocking on the door he never quite entered in that book written late in his own life. The essence of it is that most people, if any people truly live any kind of fulfilled life and they never come to realize it until it was too late. Csikszentmihalyi later would take the next step with his book Flow, but back in 1886 is was quite something to ask such psychological questions sprinkled with elements of deep philosophy which is what high art should be.

Most people today, in 2019 are living the death of Ivan llych even as they think that what they are doing is living life. They meander about buying the things that society tells them to, reaching for the goals that they are told matter in life. I continue to be surprised at how people even in their 60s are obsessed with titles and office space because they are searching for meaning in their work that they just aren’t getting any other way. They have after all worked hard and towards the ends of their careers they need to know that it all mattered, yet nobody seems to care what they did or how they did it, because what they did do wasn’t authentic. Too often we allow ourselves to fill this empty feeling with political and religious motivations, both of which are quick to blame this effect on capitalism which is extremely disrespectful to the greatest economic device which produces the greatest human autonomy of anything ever invented by the human mind. But without facts and understanding people facing the problems of Ivan llyich who get pulled below the line in their thinking can’t come to terms with how they arrived where they did so quickly at the end facing the grim reality that none of it really mattered. Once they die there will be a funeral, people will come to it, but nobody will really care or miss them. And that is a tragedy most just can’t handle.

I was exposed to the writing of T.S. Eliot early in my life. I used to work at a high scale Chinese restaurant as a busboy and was dating the pianist who played there ever weekend and her daughter. They were both high art women who roamed around Cincinnati going to all the art exhibits, knew all the names of every wine and dined at the best restaurants. The mom was personally wealthy, her husband had died in much the same way that Ivan llyich had and left two very beautiful women behind to fend for themselves, one was in her forties and facing the prospect of losing that beauty forever and wanted desperately one adventure in life that mattered and the daughter was looking for a big personality to fill that void left by her father that was actually filled with quicksand she didn’t want to be consumed by. So I learned all about T.S. Eliot’s poem The Waste Land and would talk to them about it in ways that made them happy. The relationship was very fulfilling to them, but for me it was another example of how women can often be the boons of new experience, especially for men, young men at that. I was able to launch myself into a lifelong journey that started what I would say was a life of Flow as understood by Csikszentmihalyi. The Wasteland was about the same kind of sentiment as The Death of Ivan llyich and I was determined not to fall into that trap so you might say I have lived a very adventurous life. Not a comfortable one, but certainly one that was filled with great Flow and that continues even to this day 35 to 40 years later. I will never have the problem of Ivan llyich or even Leo Tolstoy for that matter. I learned Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi’s Flow before he published his groundbreaking book in 1990 and I have lived it every day through some very scary stuff.

All this came up the other day because all my grand children and my children were raised on the Indiana Jones movie Temple of Doom which came out in 1984. I would have never guessed when I saw it in person in the theaters way back then that it would be so important to my future family. My two youngest grandkids just love the energy of that movie even though it’s actually filled with some of the scariest stuff that one might find in human experiences. After all Indiana Jones in that movie gets tortured, poisoned twice, burnt, cursed, crushed and almost eaten by alligators. But at the same time he has a lot of fun making jokes even in the worst of circumstances and at the end of the film instead of sitting around crying about it seems to be ready for the next adventure. The movie is filled with crazy stuff from beginning to end but it is also all about the Flow experience that Csikszentmihalyi would later put to paper in his great book. Kids are born with a natural understanding of Flow and they enjoy Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom because it feeds them. The movie isn’t about some character arch about learning some progressive lesson in the movie, it’s about literally going to Hell and back without the bitterness of living through such an experience and openly accepting whatever life brings next, but the purpose is to live that life to the fullest, moment by moment every day.

I bring all this up to convey a message about how to live life. The best way to do it is with a sense of Flow and to enjoy it for whatever it is at any point that you experience it. The world we live in now assumes that you are suffering from the ailments of the fictional character Ivan llyich and are afraid of losing that nameplate on your desk or your office only to be replaced slowly by the next generation as the world has only use for the panicky youth full of sexual ambition and filling their bellies with food and drink. There is much more to life than even the most sophisticated circles of politics can even dream of. Living a life of Flow is the goal and should be for everyone. However, to do that you can’t get hung up on dumb stuff, and you can’t expect life to be perfect. Darryl Parks from WLW radio once asked me on air how I did it, how did I even manage to go anywhere after being such a controversial figure, because whenever you enter a grocery story or shopping mall where people might recognize you, there is always those little snickers in the corners of the room from people who wonder if it’s really you, the person that so many people hate or just dislike for a multitude of reasons. I told him off air during a commercial break that I didn’t usually see them because they were living in The Waste Land and weren’t living an authentic existence, so their opinions didn’t matter to me. I was living in my own Flow, and they obviously were stuck. They were all future Ivan llyichs. And that is the nature of most of our politics these days, and most of our understandings of economic theories—even our education systems. And my point is that we need to change the whole system into something that has more Flow and less Ivan llyichs.

Operation Paperclip: If the Deep State will lie about Trump, they’ll lie about aliens, UFOs and the origins of the human race

Again, the History Channel’s Project Blue Book television show is some of the best that I’ve seen in a while. I’m not what you would call a UFO enthusiast. I did do a book report on UFOs way back in the fourth grade that earned some rewards and was quite good at the time, but my association with the topic isn’t an obsession. Over the years I accept based on the evidence that our documented history is not correct, humans did not evolve by themselves into what we see today, but were accelerated along by interactions with different cultures, some of those coming from outside of the earth. And this has been going on for millions of years, not just thousands. Additionally, our lives extend into at least 11 dimensions. Our biological bodies only have senses designed to record four dimensions but even those have a very limited audio, visual spectrum of understanding. There is a lot that goes on that we just don’t see or hear because of the limits of our biological senses. So some of the assumptions that are being presented in Project Blue Book to not shock me. But for what the producers were suggesting about the real life Wernher von Braun and Dr. Hynek in Episode 4, “Operation Paperclip” I thought was quite extraordinary, revolutionary even.

President Trump was the first president I’ve ever met in person, and I’ve met him a few times now, each time was very enjoyable. But personally, I was able to have the façade of pretense removed upon these meetings. For all our lives we are led to believe that the President of the United States is a kingly like persona and once you meet them, they are really just normal people like anybody else. It’s the office that holds all the mysticism, which actually shouldn’t be part of the package. For me, President Trump won’t go down as the greatest president for all the things he did, which has been a lot of very good things, he’ll be remembered for what he didn’t do. Because he didn’t come from a political background or a cultured one, such as the Skull and Bones Society, he has been able to expose the Deep State, a branch of government that has been operating in the shadows of our tax paying system without any congressional oversight for years and does not report to the general norms of our Constitutional law. They are what Alex Jones would call the “globalists” and the maniacal Bilderbergers—the key holders to many suppressed technologies and the progenerates of many historical falsehoods to keep everyone off their trail, such as Columbus discovered America, Native Americas have indigenous rights and communism is the way of the future. Watching how the Deep State has gone after Trump just for winning the election of 2016 the evidence of many conspiracies long under suspicion have shown themselves to be true.

It took me a long time to admit it to myself buy without question the CIA has been on a campaign to allow drugs into American culture likely for the ultimate goal of dumbing down our population. Even now, many politicians are endorsing marijuana as a new tax revenue and much of this change has occurred with the behind the scenes involvement of the CIA. Learning the back story of the former TWA pilot Berry Seal who became one of the greatest drug smugglers ever under the direct employment of the CIA connecting him to the White House of Reagan’s second term in office was very eye-opening. Without question it is the desire for drugs to pour into American culture that is behind the resistance to Trump’s border wall. And the Deep State thinks of the president as a temporary employee anyway that they function independent from. They are not living by the American Constitution, they have their own code of conduct and that extends globally. In just the way that the FBI has behaved with Trump and the way that the current president has been threatened, and compromised with leaked information to the press that could have only been obtained through NSA recordings, CIA manipulations and FBI corruption. The Deep State has been revealed in how they have acted toward President Trump. Presidents used to be put in place to deflect attention, and Trump has not done that exposing all these maniacal plots in a way that has been very positive.

Yes, because I have seen the cover ups of science regarding North America’s true history, that well before Columbus arrived there were advanced cultures functioning as an Empire well before any flint chucking Indian came on the scene, their structures are everywhere and they date before Christ. Academia has ignored this evidence to carry on a storyline that fits what this Deep State wants. So it’s not hard to believe that the Airforce has been and is currently covering up alien contact and UFO technology reverse engineered to present some of the modern miracles we see to this day. The evidence is quite clear that there are life forms that have been visiting from outside the earth and have had their hand in shaping our culture. There are even lifeforms that exist in other dimensional planes. It is not far-fetched in my mind that many of these UFO sightings began when we learned to split the atom. The concern that UFO sightings seem to have around nuclear sites would best be explained by nuclear explosions having an impact into other dimensional realities in a negative way—they would have an interest in mitigating that risk. What to us looks like a massive explosion coming from a very small source likely pulls vast resources in other dimensions that are at this time incalculable.

And it is likely very true that our current government that is Deep State related and uses tax payer sources to run a global campaign of disinformation and panic driven synopsis to control the world’s populations is sitting on levitation technology and “free energy” so to maintain the current order for which they control. They are not eager to give up that control even though it is obvious that they are going to have to. Because of free speech and the rules of capitalism, they have not been able to suppress us all with their communist plot. People like Trump were elected anyway and now privatized space travel is going to space without them. They have lost control and they aren’t happy about it. I believe very much that all this sudden information such as Project Blue Book and Ancient Aliens is being released to the public because everyone knows that once we get to the moon, and to Mars that we are going to discover that we’ve been there before. Our relics and archaeology will uncover it all once again and we’re going to have to come to terms with that knowledge. And this Deep State will lose all their power even though they’ve done everything they could to hold it for another century longer. Perhaps their intention for inventing the Internet was to get everyone addicted to free porn and to keep their wondering minds quiet with abundant access to drugs. The human race is crippled by these things, but their curiosity didn’t stop as was planned. We have arrived to the doorstep of the 21st Century looking to space anyway and now we are discovering that it’s not only part of our own history but its an active place full of many life forms coming and going all over our Milky Way Galaxy.

I don’t know how much Project Blue Book has taken creative liberty with the material of the actual Wernher von Braun and Dr. Hynek. But I can see exactly how such a thing as proposed by the Episode 4 could have happened and is still happening to this day. We have seen it with how the Deep State has treated Donald Trump and how they are willing to lie even when they are busted beyond any hope of recovery. And even when the President picks his own people and puts them as heads of the intelligence community, they quickly revert to the culture of those Deep State tentacles. If they will lie about little things, such as how the FISA warrants to spy on President Trump during the transition of 2016 occurred, then they’ll lie about the origins of the human race and the current relationship earth has with advanced lifeforms. From what I have seen regarding the behavior of the Deep State in how they deal with Trump, I have no problem believing the theories of Project Blue Book. And it’s up to us to unseat those power-hungry despots, because they are not functioning for our own safety. They are doing everything to hold their own power just a while longer as king makers and class dividers. It’s not aliens we have to be concerned about or their invasion. Its our own people who would stand between us and them just for the desire to control the flow of information in the world, even to the detriment of millions of individuals. I think its time to end that practice in the here and now, and not some future time when all this will come hitting everyone in the face anyway. Now is the time, not later.

Abortion is Murder: Killing, death, and hate is what the entire feminist movement stands for

I heard some of the evilest things this week in regard to abortion, as we all did which necessitates some conversation about its role in our society. As a man, a white one at that, I am about as open and supportive of women as anybody can get, but I am also very traditional. My wife is a house wife who would not be out-of-place in 1870s America. We support each other’s roles within our family and we both work very hard, but our emphasis has always been and remains a strong desire to create a good strong family that is supportive of its members. As a house wife she is always there for our children and grandchildren. As a man, I am always a go to pillar who holds the whole thing up structurally and emotionally a rock that can be counted on no matter what is going on in the world. Anyone who would attack my way of life as toxic masculinity and my wife’s as detrimental to the feminist movement to our eyes is an anti-family insurgent out for no good. While I am open to other people’s choices and lifestyles nobody will ever convince me that traditional methods of raising a family, where the man goes out into the world to gather resources while the woman uses those resources domestically for the good of the family is not the best method of social structure. I’d say the evidence is overwhelming that the traditional American family structure is the best the world has ever seen and should be applied to everything we do as humans to procreate our species.

The context to all this is that it is expected that once as parents we decide to bring a life into this world, which that decision is arrived upon during the act of sex, that we are responsible for those lives our entire lives. It is a very above the line position to take, life requires the commitment of parental life to support in every way imaginable, and to my view 99% of all people fail at this very basic task. If you don’t want to use your life to pump life into your offspring and don’t plan to be committed to that all hours of the day for the rest of your life, then you shouldn’t have kids. To have kids then expect the state to raise them through the public education system or other methods is reckless and disingenuous to the child. I have often said that it is better to have an abortion and to not have a child than to bring a child into the world of an unloving family, because the death is much shorter than a long drawn out disappointing life when the family unit is not there to help sustain the continued growth all through their lives that children require. So I am not a cut and dry pro-lifer, but my personal views are much more conservative than the typical anti-abortion activist. I think strong masculinity plays a very important role in all family lives and that all mothers are the hub of the wheel that makes everything work and they should be protected and respected by all members in a godlike manner. That’s how it is in my house and how I think it should be everywhere in the world.

Given my commitment to family life and views of how things should be done domestically in regards to women and children most of my interactions with people disappoint me. But I respect other people’s decisions enough to give them autonomy in how they approach life. I don’t seek to impose myself on them, I simply offer answers if they would life to fix something in their life. So I am quite used to people like Monica Klein who appeared on Tucker Carlson’s show this past week to defend full term abortions and the ridiculous statements made by the Virginia governor about actually murdering babies once they were born. For a professional activist her comments were horrendous and show to what extent the feminist movement is really about hate and destruction. As women they have built up a no judge position about everything in their lives, the right to work a job and be treated equally as a man, the right to participate in the political world and the right to their own selfish needs all their life in exchange for the desire to murder people under the flag of personal health for a woman’s body, as if everything “woman” was more sacred than the emergence of a life that is supposed to come from it. Monica’s comments were remarkably honest which was good. She had no real answers for Tucker once it was put on the table what the pro-abortion crowd was really after, the right to murder human beings for the convenience of a woman’s life.

I’ve always thought of the women’s movement as the most anti-family position that anybody could take and is destructive to any society. By changing the roles of the women in a society, enemies of that society benefit from the eventual destruction of the people of that culture because the off-spring is unprepared for the world and are easy to conquer, which is precisely what we are seeing in modern-day America. The argument is not whether women should be paid equally for a man’s work, or whether they should be able to vote and participate at life in any manner. Of course they should. The question is who is tending to the children, grandchildren, and other aspects of a family and making sure that everyone has the physical and emotional support they need to navigate around the world knowing that mom and dad love them and are there for them whenever needed. Behind the nasty comments of Monica Klein regarding murderous feminism is the complete lack of responsibility for anything regarding family life so that a woman can have sex free of concern, do whatever she wants with her body whenever she wants to and is not held accountable for any of her actions. Feminism is the argument that women can behave as reckless as they want in life without any consequences even to the point that they have the right to commit murder of new human beings being brought into the world even to the point of leaving the womb. That is what we are talking about, outright murder.

The entire argument is below the line and is as destructive as anybody could get. Because of it I think abortion should be illegal, not because it is sometimes needed, but because the Roe v Wade argument has essentially destroyed the integrity of our culture, allowing women to migrate below the line in their thinking when families obviously need them above the line. If a woman isn’t ready to bring life to the world, they shouldn’t be having sex. The same with men. Having sex is not more important than creating and raising a family and that is the whole argument behind the feminist movement. By attacking toxic masculinity and the desires women have to head and maintain their families with love and endurance over many generations, the modern abortion feminist is essentially arguing for murder to preserve their own rights to live below the line in everything they do. That makes people like Monica Klein one of the ugliest people on earth, because she actually tried to make the claim that feminism was more important than the life of a child and that murder is an option just to preserve the below the line traits of women’s rights, which are obviously pointless if all it really creates is a society of murders and sexualized perverts. It’s not masculinity that’s toxic, its feminists like Monica Klein who simply want all the barriers removed that keeps them from murdering children that they recklessly conceived and are too irresponsible to nurture into a lifelong commitment they are not equipped to provide. And that is a real problem that I have serious issues with. Murder is not acceptable no matter what the age of the person, especially if that person is only one day old. Abortion is murder. I might argue that the child is better off not being born to someone like Monica Klein so murder might be a better option. But murder is still murder and that is what is behind the entire feminist movement. They are anti-family and pro murder, and there is no other way to slice it.

I Agree with Matt Bevin 100%: It’s not that cold outside and yes, we are teaching kids to be wimps

There was certainly more to it, the criticism of Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin when he said we were sending the wrong message to young people in our reaction to this latest blast of arctic air sweeping the Midwest. It surprised me too that the zero-degree temperatures were responded to almost as if it were the end of the world. Hey, its winter in Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana, it gets cold and snowy. So what? But even as Democrats were pushing to make climate change the main topic of the 2020 presidential run there was something phony about all the panic, but it was contagious. As I prepared to walk through the blasting wind and snow in only my suit the other day people were alarmed. I then reminded them that it wasn’t uncommon for me to ride a motorcycle in below zero temperatures. So what was going on and why was Matt Bevin attacked for suggesting that we were weakening our youth with our fetal position reaction to every modern-day danger? The school closings and call offs from work had nothing to do with safety but everything to do with politics, with obeying the temperamental mother earth and setting people’s minds onto the topic of climate change as something to be feared, not conquered.

I was alive back then in 1977 in Cincinnati when the Ohio River froze and people could walk across it from Cincinnati into Covington. I was one of them and at the time was a student during that period where for something like 39 straight days from January 4th until mid-February there was snow on the ground and the temperatures often plummeted to -25 degrees below zero Fahrenheit. There were a lot of call offs for school that had to be made up later due to heavy snow, but on most days we all went to school, waited for the bus and were exposed to arctic temperatures for long periods of time and nobody died. The older people back then would have thought it unheard of to cry and whine that temperatures were too cold. Most of us had relatives who were farmers back then and they didn’t call off work, the continued to milk the cows, and perform other outside duties in spite of the cold. Toughness was an expectation, not an exception. Matt Bevin’s attitude was common.

These temperatures just under zero for a few hours at the end of January were not a big deal, certainly not enough to have schools call off the way they did days in advance. And the adults who called off work because it was “too cold” outside were doing so as an excuse to get out of work using the public sentiment as a shield to protect them from the expectations of productive output. I would call it a criminal endeavor to rob people of above the line thinking by using the potential for tragedy to lure them into below the line cowardness. I did my walking outside in my suit happily with snow drifts swelling around me and the blast of harsh wind ripping at my face refreshing. It feels good to tame the elements and to spit in the face of mother nature. She doesn’t control my life, I control hers. It is the human who invented transportation and heating to deflect the effects of mother nature. It is not our task to obey her. We are to dominate her.

But in teaching kids to yield to every little danger and elemental concern, we are teaching them to be future panic driven imbeciles looking for every excuse in the world not to do something. And Matt Bevin is right, we shouldn’t be doing it. The goal isn’t to teach kids to be tough, but to teach them to obey the elements of the world, to climb back into the primal concerns of society where the big government chieftains would be called upon to appease Mother Nature with sacrifices so that below zero temperatures might abate our concerns is the objective of the political left. The sacrifice of course is the productivity of our nation, instead of having a hell or high-water approach to problem solving we are to stick our fingers in the air and determine if it is safe or not, and then to seek government opinion as to whether or not we conduct business. Only when the professionals determined that it was safe to go to school or to attend work would we do so. Those seeds are being planted in our youth as we speak and its pretty ridiculous.

I am one of those people who does whatever I want in spite of the weather. If I want to go on a picnic with my family and its pouring rain, I do it anyway. I find it pathetic that there are so many people these days who use handicaps as a reason for not doing things such as weather or personal afflictions. I can remember a time that I scheduled a romantic getaway to Niagara Falls with my wife and I had just the day before our proposed departure really hurt my back trying to lift a 600-pound tool that was falling off a cart that I didn’t want to see damaged by striking the floor. Yes, I saved the tool and the floor but I really messed up my back. I could hardly walk. To make matters worse, a snow storm had hit and it was going to be a tough drive from Cincinnati to Buffalo, New York under those conditions. Guess what, we went anyway. I toughed through it and we walked miles and miles once we eventually reached our destination, and I enjoyed it in spite of the pain and the terrible weather. It’s quite a thing for me to not yield to mother nature. I don’t give her command of my life and I don’t respect people who do. Because below the line people often use the excuse of danger and insistence of safety to avoid doing things they are too lazy, or cowardly to pursue, and that is the danger of teaching young people to behave in such a way by calling off schools just because temperatures are cold.

Schools and businesses are more adapt today than they were in 1977 to deal with the cold. Heaters are much more reliable, power lines more stable, cars far, far better. People lived through it back then and they can certainly live through it better now. But to my observation, because I have lived through it, people are weaker, they are certainly softer and they are much less prepared than even people were a few years ago to deal with any kind of crises. I have noticed in days of heavy snow that people are much dumber than even two years ago driving slower and with much less confidence. That is because of the way their media has prepared them for tragedy. They have been taught to yield to every danger and to seek help from government over every little thing, they have lost the autonomy of personal needs and desires against the wishes of the dumb science of global temperament. And Matt Bevin is not alone in his assessment. I agree with him 100%
