Meryl Streep’s Pretentious Fat Ass: Hollywood’s tremendious disrespect for theater owners

Meryl Streep got on my last nerve during the 2017 Golden Globe award show recently when she used her speaking time after winning a lifetime achievement award to bash the Donald Trump presidency. As her mouth oozed liberal nonsense I thought of the many theater owners across the nation who are desperate for Hollywood to justify the massive investments they have spent creating venues for idiots like Streep to show their stupid movies—and I witnessed the ultimate in unappreciative audacity from the Hollywood left.

Streep tried to appear that she was reaching out to mainstream America by appealing to the diversity of the popular actors that had all been nominated for some kind of Golden Globe on that January 8th evening. But like the typical blabber mouth suburbanite who rattles off facts they’ve learned on daytime television, like game shows, talk shows like Oprah and Ellen, and the QVC network—Streep had such a terrible grasp on worldly events that I almost felt sorry for her. But, she spoke as if she were an authority on immigration and what it takes to have a successful economy, and NBC let her go on and on wasting valuable airtime bloviating about things she knows nothing about because it fit their political outlook and they assumed that the audiences at home would just put up with it.

Well, Meryl, the very economy that you know nothing about is putting the squeeze on the Hollywood industry that you represent. There is some intense competition nowadays against the Hollywood product and people really don’t want to listen to some fat assed old chick lecture Americans about diversity, fairness, and political ethics. We want to watch movies where things blow up, good guys beat bad guys, and women look good and act better. Get it Hollywood. We don’t want films about anti-gun arguments, or some sappy assed Indian floating around in a boat. We want action, adventure and intellectual stimulation—and if Hollywood can’t give it to us, we’ll get it somewhere else.

And don’t think for a moment that the world will continue to put up with an entire industry full of communist leftists. Meryl mentioned that if it wasn’t for them, (the actors) all we’d have for entertainment was football and fighting—otherwise testosterone driven activities. Let me say this to Meryl and all her Hollywood friends—other people can do their job easily. I know I could. I’m not in the business because I refuse to deal with their labor unions. I don’t want to be in the Screen Actors guild, I don’t want to be in the Writer’s Guild—I don’t want to deal with them in any way. But if they weren’t around—a guy like me could write, act, produce, and direct all the best of you into oblivion without even having to work at it. Instead, I do other things because honestly, I don’t want to deal with people like Meryl Streep as part of my occupation. It’s not worth the money that comes with it. And I’m not the only one—let me tell you that. What you do isn’t that hard.

Because of the labor unions the cost of making a movie is just too great and the major studios struggle to make a profit. Most studios don’t make it very long in the industry. Companies like Disney and Warner Bros. make the business model work because they have superhero franchises and science fiction properties that help them balance the books—but for everyone else—there’s not much appealing out there. Like who made the decision to make the movies Christmas Office Party and Why Him? Who in their right mind as a studio head thought that it was fair to the theater owners out there to give them those offerings over the Holiday Season of 2016? Those are movies that could have been made direct to video for Netflix or Amazon Prime for a fraction of the production budget. Why can’t the studios make more films like Star Wars which makes over a billion dollars at the global marketplace during their theater runs. If snotty actors like Meryl Streep didn’t hate money so much they’d understand that the Hollywood product and the theater owners out there in the world are in a marriage—they both need each other—and Hollywood hasn’t been doing their share of the heavy lifting. They make crappy movies about their goofy leftist philosophies then wonder why nobody goes to see them.

Has Meryl Streep went to a movie and paid $20 for a popcorn and one drink lately? I do it fairly regularly even though I can make the same at my home for about a $1.50. I buy the popcorn at movie theaters to help the owners stay in business with their crazy overpriced food because not enough butts are in the seats watching the movies that Hollywood makes. For instance, when the great movie Raiders of the Lost Ark was made—the filmmakers knew they were making a popcorn movie for fans to support the entire movie business. But that was forty years ago now. Who is making movies like that now except for Lucasfilm? Who? If people want a message story—they can get that on Netflix. Who wants to go to the movies to see a political message except for a very small portion of a potential audience. I’m not saying that films that are shown at Sundance shouldn’t be made—I enjoy them even though I seldom agree with their politics. But a movie at the theater needs to be a big event and Hollywood should always endeavor to make a movie that generates the greatest revenue possible. Most of the movies Meryl Streep makes are movies that anymore should only appear on the cable network Lifetime or an online download service.

For instance, The Crown which did well at the Golden Globes is a far superior product than what the motion picture industry produced for movie theaters. I almost feel like I’m cheating to see such a great product at home on my giant 70” 4K television with popcorn fresh from the kitchen and a whole two liters of pop giving me instant refills any time I want it. And The Crown was around 10 hours of production versus 2 to 3 hours for a typical movie. You get a whole lot more consumer product of the Netflix produced show as opposed to the Hollywood product made for theater distribution. The same with the other major hit from Netflix—Stranger Things—which was a lot better than the 80s films it was meant to tip the hat to—like Poltergeist, E.T., and Goonies. Stranger Things doesn’t need a movie theater—viewers can just watch it anytime they want without the shared experience of other human beings touching their armrest or checking their cell phone in the middle of a movie in a darkened theater.

You see dear reader—the reason Meryl Streep is an idiot who abused her reputation and the entire Hollywood community with her rantings against Donald Trump is because it was all done at the expense of the theater owners of America—whom she might as well have just spit on during the Golden Globes. Guys like me won’t go see Meryl Streep movies which she doesn’t care about either. We can ignore each other and be perfectly happy in life. But, if I don’t go to the movies the theater own doesn’t make back their money for showing one of her stupid movies since there is other competition out there which offers often a far superior product. And Hollywood instead of making the kind of movies they need to make to compete with these changing markets and times—are imprisoned to drama queens like Streep who hide behind their labor unions to make more stupid movies they think are “art” only to sink more production companies who go out on a limb trying to bankroll their film projects.

So while all those idiots at the Golden Globes sat there clapping at what Meryl Streep was saying—the people who really suffer from the Hollywood industry’s lack of focus and business understanding were cringing stage right. And that is where people like Meryl don’t help Hollywood, they hurt it—like an overprotective, manipulative, fat assed mother hen who keeps the potential of a child locked away in a bedroom hoping to preserve her “work of art” from the realities of life. It’s business sweetheart—and you’re hurting it—most notably the theater owners who count on Hollywood to make something people can’t get with free internet porn and Netflix—something epic and truly something people only want to see the first time in a darkened movie theater—with strangers. Get with it—or you will destroy it all. Because the world will move on without your pretentious ass.

Jane Timken Wins Ohio Republican Party Chair: Gold diggers, mistresses, the media and Matt Borges

Let’s just say this—I told people right here on this blog site—which quite a few in the media around the city of Cincinnati read—often—that Matt Borges was out of power essentially on October 16th just a few weeks before the great election of Donald Trump on November 8th. CLICK HERE TO REVIEW. That information came from inside the campaign by people who know Matt best and the writing was on the wall. However, the media chose to use the conflict between Trump and the Ohio governor John Kasich—for whom Matt Borges was loyal to—as a way to demean Trump’s grip on Ohio. Well, as everyone now knows—which I predicted all along, Trump won Ohio by nearly 10 points all across the state in spite of the ankle-bitter tactics of John Kasich and now Matt Borges has been replaced as the Ohio Republican Party chair with Jane Timken. Jane was a Trump supporter, Matt worked behind the scenes to sabotage Trump so to preserve a chance for Kasich to run again possibly in 2020. After all, John Kasich started running for president in 2013 right after he lost the SB5 Bill to the labor unions and he moved to the political center—even left of center at times. He expanded Medicaid for the Obamacare exchanges which went against the Ohio Health Care Freedom Amendment and he set himself up as a political progressive—which is what he was all along—only he hid it from us. Many Republican leaders lashed out at all of us reform Republicans for several years chronicled on these pages and one by one they have all fallen from power. And now Matt has joined them because he picked the wrong person to back and as I said months ago—the Republican Party in Ohio is now firmly in Trump’s corner.

Matt tried to sell himself as a unifier of the Republican Party and under his leadership more would be elected—but as we have seen—the best unifier is victory and Trump is the master of that. Under Trump—there will be more Republican seats won in all positions from federal, state and local bids than at any other time in American history—so Matt and his buddy John Kasich are now on the political out—forever. And they chose that fate. When Matt leaned recently on powerful local Republicans during a power lunch opportunity—which the media was not to know anything about—he attempted to create doubt in those people by taking a position on the now famous Trump tape saying “he had never heard any locker room talk like that.” That of course was a lie because anybody with a penis has heard that kind of talk in a locker room with other males starting in the 7th to 8th grade. What Trump said on that bus with Billy Bush was essentially that—and NBC and the political elite—John Kasich included—attempted to capitalize on it to their own detriment.

Everyone knows that when a man achieves great power in life that some women throw themselves at them—and will let a man do anything they want in exchange for access to power. Matt knows that, Kasich knows that—Trump certainly knows that and so did all the Republicans at that lunch. It’s not some mystery in the universe, but what is insulting is when people understand these naturally human traits then pretend we don’t live in that world of reality by taking some progressive stance favoring social engineering which is proving to be quite destructive to the condition of human experience. If you are a powerful man, some women will let you grab their vaginas almost anytime—but of course they expect something in return. In the locker room—we call them gold diggers. You probably know a few of them dear reader—especially if you vote in favor of school levies—because nearly all supporters of higher taxes for schools are these kinds of people—hence my term for them which is “latté sipping prostitutes with asses the size of car tires and diamond rings to match.” Remember that? Get a few drinks in those people and they’ll let you grab anything you want—in exchange for a sugar daddy, or a levy vote. Go to any bar, or nail salon and you’ll see them—even sitting around the dining room of Applebee’s.

Matt as a leader of a political movement is supposed to be savvy enough to know these things. So playing innocent to such decadence wasn’t becoming because it either showed foolish naiveté or the ability to say one thing and mean another. Both are bad traits. So he has lost his seat and he seems perplexed about it—but he should know better. He picked a loser and there are consequences to those types of actions.

Honestly I am enjoying this trend under Trump to see women taking over these traditional positions held often by men—so I am a fan of Jane Timken becoming the next chair. As crude as the world knowledge about the way men behave in the locker room—or at the bar sipping drinks and gawking after women as grown adults—women like Kellyann Conway and Jane Timken are remarkably free of that bad behavior that comes with most men—so if you really want to reform politics—it is good to have more strong women who do not behave with such gutter talk in positions of serious contention. Because another secret to the behavior of men around women is that when they are around women who behave as quality individuals, men tend to elevate their conduct. Men respect power and women who place themselves above the fray of the gold diggers are admired for all the right reasons, so the Republican Party is always in better hands when such women are a part of it—especially leading it. With Jane, there won’t be all the double talk that we had with Matt and that will be a relief.

When Kellyann Conway said that she could balance her career as a Trump advisor with her many kids and husband at home because she didn’t have a “mistress” this is the kind of thing she was referring to—a lot of men spend entirely too much time on such things and it eats up their productive output. When they get a taste of success and start having some of those gold diggers approach them in suggestive ways—it can become like a drug because when they were younger and less successful, getting women to pay attention to them was much harder. When Billy Bush giggled about Trump’s comments it was in admiration for a man who had climbed the mountain and now as a celebrity with a top rated television show on NBC gold diggers where throwing themselves at Trump aggressively and he seemed to be genuinely shocked by the experience.

Rock stars have the same temptations—women and men seek backstage passes so they can let some famous person “mark them” and from there they take that experience to elevate their social position among their peers in whatever dysfunctional way they can. Successful people who move beyond that kind of nonsense, like Kellyann Conway are the really competent people you want to hold powerful position because they tend to be more productive without being enamored by the terrestrial delights of temptation.

With Jane Timken the Republican Party in Ohio will flourish as the old fades away into nothing and the new comes forward with great ideas and fresh approaches to the old temptations—which adversely will have much less influence on the direction of the party going forward—and that is a great thing. The conversation of philosophic Republicanism will be elevated and Ohio will be a major player in the Trump administration under Jane’s leadership—but just don’t forget where you heard all this—way back in October when CNN was declaring Trump’s candidacy dead in Ohio and that Kasich would continue to hold the reigns of power—I told you otherwise. The only thing Kasich is holding now is his bags as he will be exiting as governor soon—and Matt Borges will be with him. If we really want to fix things and to have a strong political party we have to be honest about things—and people like Matt who say one thing then do another have no place in such a world. They are after all just another form of that infantile locker room talk where people pretend to be something they aren’t so they can get something from someone else. In women we call them gold diggers—but in men we call them something else—and they know the term. And Matt Borges was and continues to be one of them—which is why he is no longer the chair of the Republican Party in Ohio.

Congratulation to Jane Timken on her major upset victory in becoming the Ohio Republican Party Chair. Jane is a loyal Trump supporter & star

Guide to the Donald J. Trump Inauguration: The reality behind one of the greatest events in history

If you listen to the political left, you’d think that the inauguration of Donald J. Trump as President of the United States was going to be a cartoon combination of Yosemite Sam and Froghorn Leghorn pasted over an old skit of Benny Hill. However, the reality is quite the opposite, the Trump Inauguration looks to be one of America’s greatest and the talent will be stylish, and the balls taking place after the swearing-in, and the parade are top notch—and expensive. I have noticed though that it took a little looking around to get information and I’m in the loop—so I’m sure that many of you out there are wondering how you can be a part of this historic event. For many on the Trump website linked below are some really wonderful items that people can get to remember the occasion. Also below is the inauguration schedule including the various balls so that you can make your plans. The balls range in price from about $150 dollars a plate to $10,000. All of them look to be an event of a lifetime and worth the money. So use this as your guide dear reader to the Trump Inauguration—and—have a good time! [image error]

The inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump features a long list of official and semi-official events and celebrations.

There will be plenty of protests and counter-rallies as well, with a list of some available here.

Here’s the schedule for events that will usher Trump to the White House:

Wreath-laying ceremony, Jan. 19

Arlington National Cemetery

Trump and Vice President-elect Mike Pence will lay a wreath at the cemetery in honor of the nation’s veterans. Details have not been publicly announced.

“Make America Great Again!” welcome celebration, Jan. 19

Ceremony will be held at the Lincoln Memorial

This event will feature “a diverse group of performers” in a concert followed by comments from Trump and Pence. Tickets are required for special viewing areas. Further details have not been publicly announced.

Inaugural Gala, Jan. 19

The country performers Big & Rich plus Cowboy Troy will headline an Inauguration Gala presented by the Great America Alliance, a superPAC that supported Donald Trump’s campaign. Celebrity cameos announced so far include former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, actor and conservative commentator Jon Voight, “conservative star Sheriff David Clarke” and Dr. Dorothy Woods. It’s not clear if Trump or Pence will be present.

Inauguration ceremonies, Jan. 20

Ceremony begins at 9:30 a.m. Eastern, U.S. Capitol Building

Trump and Pence will be sworn in on the west front of the Capitol . Their families and members of Congress, the U.S. Supreme Court, diplomatic corps and other invited guests will be seated on the ceremony platform. Amid tight security and frigid weather, the best seat is likely going to be your couch. The event will be televised and streamed live online, including here on UPI.com.

Security will be tight, with all viewing areas near the event requiring tickets – 250,000 of them – and a security screening beginning when gates open at 6 a.m. Here’s what inauguration ticket-holders are prohibited from bringing: aerosols, alcohol, firearms, ammunition, animals (except service animals), backpacks, roller bags, suitcases, bags larger than 12″x14″x5″, balloons, balls, banners, signs, placards, bicycles, non-ADA chairs, coolers, drones, explosives of any kind, glass, thermal and metal containers, knives or other sharp objects of any length including pocketknives, laser lights and laser pointers, mace or pepper spray, noisemakers like drums or bullhorns, packages, poles and selfie-sticks, spray containers, strollers, structures, supports for signs or placards, toy guns, tripods, umbrellas, weapons of any kind and “any other items that may pose a threat to the security of the event as determined by and at the discretion of the security screeners.”

People who arrive without tickets – an estimated 500,000 are expected – will be able to view the event from the National Mall behind the ticketed areas.

Music begins at 9:30 a.m. Eastern. Performers scheduled so far are America’s Got Talent winner and platinum-selling singer Jackie Evancho, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, the Radio City Rockettes (who also performed at George W. Bush‘s inauguration ceremonies) and the Missouri State University Chorale.

Opening remarks begin at 11:30 a.m. Eastern. Religious leaders who will give readings, benedictions and invocations include New York Archbishop Timothy Michael Cardinal Dolan, the Rev. Samuel Rodriguez of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference, Pastor Paula White of New Destiny Christian Center, Rabbi Marvin Hier of the Simon Wiesenthal Center, the Rev. Franklin Grahamof the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and Bishop Wayne T. Jackson of Great Faith Ministries International.

Inaugural Parade, Jan. 20

Begins at the conclusion of the inauguration

Trump and Pence will make their way from the Capitol to the White House down Pennsylvania Avenue as part of a parade that includes high school and college bands; police posse, motorcycle and cavalry units; veterans and active members of the military; and the Boy Scouts of America, among others.

Inaugural Balls

Three official inaugural balls are planned featuring appearances by Trump, including one being dubbed the Big Apple Ball in Washington but with New York-themes dominating under Trump’s personal direction, according to TMZ. Details are still developing.

Here’s a list of other, unofficial balls:

Deploraball, 7 p.m. Jan. 20 A $250 per plate event that takes eponymous pride in Trump nemesis Hillary Clinton‘s claim that half of his supporters are “deplorables” is no joke, though there’s a lot of snark and sarcasm inherent in this event and its promotion. The reception begins at 7 p.m. at the Bolger Center in Bethesda, Md., just outside Washington, with a silent auction to benefit veterans and event host Gays for Trump, followed by dinner and dancing at 8 p.m. This event has publicly illuminated growing fractures among Trump’s most fervent supporters among the so-called “alt-right” who helped create the ball via a social media group known as MAGA-3X. Organizers who hoped for an inclusive “big-tent” event have butted heads with event co-founder Tim Treadstone, who has posted homophobic and anti-semitic remarks via @BakedAlaska on Twitter. Milo Yiannopoulos, a Briton who works as an editor for Breitbart News known for acerbic commentary on and off Twitter where he was recently banned, reportedly is scheduled as a guest of honor.

The Russians Didn’t Make Democrats Lose the 2016 Election: Why ‘Celebrity Apprentice’ ratings are down and actors have little value

As it was clear from what I’ve written and spoke about, the Obama administration was joke from the start never showing any signs of competence from day one of his presidency. It had nothing to do with the color of Barack Obama’s skin, where he grew up, who is mom and grandparents were, not even the fact that we’re really not sure who his real dad was—Obama was an idiot because he was a radical carried through life by other radicals and plopped into the White House to dismantle the “imperialism” of the American way of life—from the point of view of card-carrying communists—like Frank Marshall Davis and Obama’s personal friend the domestic terrorist Bill Ayers. During the election of 2016 the evidence of what many of us always suspected was revealed through Wikileaks and Obama had his hands all over the embarrassment. Election night for me when Donald Trump won was one of the best days of my life—my family celebrated extensively, and we will again celebrate when Trump is inaugurated on the 20th of this month because a great evil had been destroyed utterly on that night and it was obvious on the faces of the elite leftist media. Finally America had come to its senses and voted correctly. It took the massive failures of Obama to finally wake America up—but at least it had finally happened, and it was cause for celebration.

So regarding this notion that Russia hacked the American election to put Trump in power is just another Obama failure derived from his world view that everyone but him was at fault and the idiot is inclined to incite World War III rather than admit the failures of his party—and of himself. His behavior in letting the intelligence community, the media which he controls, and his political party blame the Russians for their loss shows to what extent Obama will go to wash his hands of his obvious failures—and declares why that idiot should have never been president to begin with.

Of course Putin wanted someone to be president who was friendlier to his administration—likely the entire world wanted such a thing except for those seeking global communism through the “greenie weenie” movement. But to say that Democrats lost the presidential election because of Russia is immature, and ridiculous. Hillary Clinton lost because she was a terrible candidate who had been caught in many lies, and she was up against a rival who didn’t mind getting dirty in the trenches of war. To suggest that Russia’s Putin manipulated the election is just ridiculous—and hypocritical. After all, Obama just recently attempted to manipulate the election results in Israel, so who did what to whom? Trump won because he was the better candidate. End of story.

But what’s been even more humorous has been the entertainment community’s reaction. They actually think that they know something that the rest of us don’t. When a group of silly Hollywood actors put out a video shown on this article demanding that congress stand up to Trump I knew I had seen the highest of audacity among the political left now desperate to maintain any stranglehold on a coming reality. That reality was very obvious when Chuck Schumer—whom I’m no fan of—changed his tone in the senate this past week to work against Trump’s cabinet picks and the dismantling of Obamacare. Trump responded quickly that Schumer was the leader of a group of clowns and that’s how it’s going to be people. Liberals stuck their sticks in our eyes for a long time and we were nice enough to not stick them back—but now—all that’s done. We’re fighting back, and we’re cutting out eyes, and even tongues if we need to, because Trump represents a peaceful insurgency of Americanism and this is just the tip of the iceberg. Hollywood actors get paid to say things on-screen, so nobody but the dumbest young person or government addict believes anything they say—so their protests against Trump do nothing but separate themselves from the bulk of American population. For the millionth time, we are not a “democracy.” We are a “republic.” Learn the difference and only then can we start to have a conversation that doesn’t lead to the complete destruction of the political left in America—because that’s where I’m at.

I have no tolerance any more for the stupidity I hear from those idiots—Obama being the most recent leader. Who cares if some Hollywood leftist doesn’t want to sing at Trump’s inauguration? Someone will, and they will become famous because they did. Who cares if a bunch of loser fashion designers don’t want to dress the first supermodel first lady we’ve ever had in America? Someone will, and they will become blockbusters with success because of it. The political left and all their media connections have no power—see where I’m going with this. They believe falsely that they can stop productions of the Trump administration with these tired old tactics, but they can’t. Melania Trump will have a dress made by someone and she will look like the billions of dollars that she’s worth and whatever leftist designer stays home will soon be forgotten—because the value is in Melania—not the designer. Same with Donald Trump—he created his own value—the “industry” didn’t make him. Trump didn’t become popular because of “Celebrity Apprentice.” Celebrity Apprentice was made great because Trump had a successful career that people wanted to know more about. NBC didn’t make Trump—Trump made NBC.

Arnold Schwarzenegger was brought in to Celebrity Apprentice because Donald Trump left to become president and the ratings are tanking. NBC executives are mystified as to why because in their eyes there is no difference between Schwarzenegger and Trump—both are big men who are celebrities who have a history of saying great one liners which appeal to fly-over-state America. The opening night of Celebrity Apprentice 2017 drew a measly 4.9 million people and was down 35% from 2015’s Donald Trump led episodes. Executives at NBC really don’t get it but I can tell them. I watched that last Terminator movie on a long oversea flight recently and it was terrible. The Terminator films just aren’t very good without Jim Cameron making them.

Arnold Schwarzenegger is a pretty good actor if he has top-level production support, but he doesn’t make a film work. He works well in films that already work—like most actors. If I hadn’t been stuck on a 13 hour flight—I would have turned the stupid movie off—because it was that bad. NBC executives made the same mistake with Schwarzenegger—they thought he could act like a businessman who had built up a life of successes—the way Trump did. When Trump scowls at a program manager who failed in a task on that show—it meant something because Trump had been there and done that at some point in his life. But when Schwarzenegger does it—it’s an empty expression. The scowl means nothing because Schwarzenegger is just an actor. When Trump scowls it’s because he and the person he’s scowling at know Donald Trump is perfectly capable of doing the job better—because he has—so failure in his eyes mean something.

It’s this kind of competence that Barack Obama is terrified of because Democrats have hooked themselves to his star and within a few weeks Donald Trump is going to outshine everything that these leftists have ever dreamed of by way of radical actions taken against America. And their only answer to any of it has been to “strike,” to not attend the Inauguration, to drag ass on Capitol Hill, to make blank threats through the media, and to blame the Russians in a pretty hostile way including a very embarrassing visit this past week to congress to brief those representatives from James Clapper himself. I’m sure Clapper is a nice guy—he reminds me of the kind of guy who should be a Wal-Mart greeter—but to be in charge of American intelligence in any capacity was a terrible hiring choice—because the guy is horrendously incompetent. And for that idiot to declare to Capitol Hill that the “Russians did it,” was not only stupid, reckless, and lazy—but it was irresponsible. Democrats did not lose because of the Russians. They lost because they “suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuccccccccccccccccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They sucked big time in that last election. They have lost house, senate and governor seats and they will lose a lot more. Trump knows what he’s doing and not even Republicans are ready for his swift action. But Democrats like Schumer and those other tired idiots who have evolved under Barack Obama—they don’t stand a chance. They didn’t lose because of anything that Russia did—but because of what they did, praying to pagan gods as revealed by Wikileaks, putting their fate into a criminal candidate, and not even taking enough time to set up a decent password for their email accounts because at heart they are lazy fools those Democrats—the best of them are lazy fools. The worst of them are just drug addicted over-sexed losers worthless on the world stage and they have no future as a party. And those are the facts.

To Think Outside of the Box, Get Rid of the Box: The keys to heathcare reform under a Donald Trump administration

The future of healthcare as Obamacare is poised to be repealed, and Democrats are squealing for the same old same old, has nothing to do with where we’ve been. Healthcare will not be a managed care oriented contraption as it is now, where the goal of healthcare is to stave off sickness, or prolong it over a number of years with lots of drugs–but to actually fix people. The future of healthcare, even simple dental work is not in false teeth and hip replacements–but in rebuilding what the human body already makes for itself–except in extending that period beyond the years of age 30.

You see dear reader, within our DNA we have been programmed at some point in the past to get old and die prematurely, and this is not conducive to our new age of space exportation where the continuity for journeying to and from distant planets requires human beings to live well beyond a hundred years of age–healthily. It is time to take that great step, and the tools are on the table in front of the FDA. All it takes is a bold administration such as the Trump White House to unlock these great scientific breakthroughs–which I have been talking about for years. Well, the time is upon us. The way to bring down the cost of health insurance and allow companies to provide great dental and eye care plans is to actually fix people so they don’t need all the expensive third-party care and can live like perpetual 35 years olds–for as long as a human being chooses. Watch the following videos to learn more on the details.

Politicians are locked in a box of their own making. Others are in another box regulated by their religious beliefs. But history tells us for those who look to the Bible for guidance that early human beings–particularly before the great Deluge flooded the ancient world carrying away Noah and his family from the debauchery of their day–people lived for thousands of years–and they could again today. Death is not a necessity and the human race has returned back to the Garden of Eden and instead of listening to that vile snake, we can now eat from the Tree of Eternal Life. We have a galaxy to explore as the human race, and its time we unleash that potential starting with our age restrictions. 100 years just isn’t enough time to accomplish much as a human being–we need more time to complete tasks and we have an immediate need to solve the healthcare puzzle–cost wise, so the solution is obvious.

Cancer treatments should not take months or years of chemotherapy, it should be done in an afternoon with the simplicity of recovering from the common cold. Human bodies need to continue providing fresh tissue to build with instead of running out of material and breaking gene gaps as age advances. This is a choice now that there is science maturing in the regenerative medicine industry. The way to solve all the medical problems of our time is by keeping people healthy, working, and wise by making health care so cheap it could be sold at Walgreens without a prescription.

Politicians will worry that regenerative medicine will put many in the medical industry out of business–such as those who currently make false teeth, knee replacements and those many hospitals that need sick people in their beds to maintain their business models. But the innovations will in all of science create jobs that will net more than the present medical industry sustains by keeping people perpetually sick. It’s not that long that we will have hotels and mineral mines on the moon and there will be much more wealth created in those endeavors than the present unsustainable trajectory of the medical field. Who wants to train to be a nurse when that same potential employee could learn to make new uses for the platinum, gold and Helium-3 that is abundant on the Moon. How do you pay off that extensive national debt and get out from under China’s bankers? You mine the moon and give a tremendous boost to the economy creating new jobs meant for space exploration and you make it so that people can live long enough to manage missions to and from distant plants over 200 to 300 years round-trip. And what to do with the exploding population on earth because people don’t die as fast as they are being born–they move into space by the same inclination that humans discovered the New World–for opportunity, potential wealth, and freedom from tyrannical governments. There are a lot of people who would settle on Mars if they knew they could come and go from earth every now and then and could repair the stress on their bodies from living in two different gravity zones. They’d live on Mars the way that mountain men do now on earth, to be free of politicians and the noise of a big city. Only on Mars we could at least get them to begin terraforming the planet while they are there. Regenerative medicine is the key to unleashing all these potentials and the Trump administration has possession of that future–and they are bold enough to act in favor of that positive fate.

It won’t be enough to just have a healthcare plan that is a few hundred dollars a month paid for mainly by an employer. Even with the Trump plans to create private sector competition to bring down healthcare costs–still the practice of getting sick as an elderly person places a burden on our society that prevents economic growth equitable to our current status as a human race. The very smart people in the videos shown on this article will all tell you that their greatest hindrance to bringing their products to market is with the FDA which places a bureaucratic burden that is ominous to overcome. The science is there, but the politics is resistant to it for many reasons–mainly because politicians are slow to embrace new technology because their minds are “in a box.” This healthcare problem has its solution completely outside the box, so its time to just throw away the box in this discussion for the sake of urgency. Within a few years under a friendly Trump administration expediting many of these innovations sitting in front of the FDA we could have a totally different healthcare system focused on healing instead of preventive death or slowing down the effects of old age before we have another presidential election.

Regenerative medicine could change the marketplace as fast the iPhone become a normalized part of our economy or the concept of a personal drone went from a strictly professional application to a consumer market being sold to ordinary people at Best Buy. Regenerative medicine would have an instant impact on America’s position as a leader of global healthcare and would create wealth in ways unfathomable to any other predecessor–and the end game would to carry our human race into a space race by the end of the 21st Century. That step could be taken in the coming months and could be unleashed within a year–and it would be exciting. But first, congress has to take that first critic step–they have to get rid of Obamacare–and not let “inside the box” politicians resort back to the same old managed care options. Because they never worked, and they are not the future. Get out of the box and let’s make something completely different.

The Best Coverage on ‘Rogue One’ Anywhere: Matt Clark and Rich Hoffman’s ‘Star Wars’ New Year show on WAAM radio

I would dare say that no Star Wars fan anywhere could get a better radio show than the one that Matt Clark and I did on WAAM for what has become an annual event for us. We didn’t just cover the usual fan elements of the famous Star Wars series, but the cultural aspects and importance that it has on the human race. To that effect, we covered the latest film Rogue One and contemplated the direction that Lucasfilm is moving the Disney property in and the importance all these events play on the future of not only American society, but that of the entire world. This is a recording that you’ll get no place else dear reader, one that is far superior to the usual Hollywood press–so enjoy it and share it with a friend.

And Happy New Year!

Donald Trump and Putin: Carrie Fisher’s death and the root of all success

It has been hilarious to watch the political order of our day react to the potential of a Donald Trump presidency—particularly in relation to Russia. The assumption is that the political class on planet earth is something of a magical aristocratic entity of supreme knowledge. Some silly businessman from New York couldn’t possibly know how to deal with Russia’s supreme leader, “Putin.” After all, business people are “common stock” who are picked by politicians to succeed or fail in life based on their altruistic contributions to charity and events organized by the political establishment. For me it has been excessively funny to read the many articles in USA Today, Rolling Stone, the New York Times and elsewhere as this supposition has taken place regarding Donald Trump’s reaction to events around the world. The basic premise of every article is that Trump is not very smart and is poised to be outplayed by every player on the world stage to the disadvantage of America.

Happy New Year to all, including to my many enemies and those who have fought me and lost so badly they just don't know what to do. Love!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 31, 2016

Everyone who reads here knows I am a Star Wars fan and I do think it’s sad that Carrie Fisher—the actress who played Princess Leia in the films–died essentially on Christmas Eve of a massive heart attack. I enjoyed her character in the movies she played and I thought she was a brilliant writer—and a witty personality. I enjoyed her appearance in The Force Awakens, but honestly, she was a broken person in that film barely able to hold a presence on-screen because she essentially had destroyed herself over the preceding 30 years. One of the treats for me of the new film Rogue One was that Princess Leia as a nice 19-year-old young lady appeared at the end of the film which restored her reputation a bit in my eyes—and I felt this before the death of Carrie Fisher. In the original films, Carrie Fisher was turning out to be one of those Hollywood liberal girls who are essentially destroyed before they turned 25. The drugs and hard living as a pass around celebrity ruined her body making her into a joke by the time she was resurrected in The Force Awakens last year. I watched her interviews as a 59-year-old and winced many times as she spoke because she was essentially a destroyed human being and she had at least enough wit to make fun of herself over it. After all, what else was she going to do?

Carrie Fisher’s lifestyle is what killed her—it wasn’t some cruel act of fate—it was years of bad living and taking too much anti-depressant medication—being overweight, then losing weight and straining a body that was already destroyed two decades before. It was sad to hear just prior to the Donald Trump election of 2016 that Fisher was criticizing the president-elects sniffing during the debates as if he were a “coke head” because she knew from experience. And that she had written a book featuring her young affair with Harrison Ford attempting to tell the world psychologically that at one point in time, she was “hot.” Harrison Ford was gracious about the whole episode letting Carrie have a fond reflection of a time when she was a 19-year-old girl sleeping with a 33-year-old married man and running around the streets of London with him in 1976. He didn’t ask her not to do it, and let it run its course right up to the day she literally died.

As much as I like Star Wars and those actors for the part they played in the movies, I found their public comments about Donald Trump disturbing because they assumed as celebrities they knew something about the world that the rest of us didn’t. Harrison Ford I think is a great actor, and I admire how well he has kept himself in shape, and he was fun to watch in Force Awakens because he was able to resurrect a good character he helped create over thirty years ago. But Harrison Ford is still the idiot who gave himself an earring for his 50th birthday because he thought of it as some kind of rebellious proclamation he had earned with advanced age—and he’s maintained that earring now for over 23 years. I am coming up on my 50th birthday soon, and I can tell you dear reader—I have no temptation of getting an earring. That’s just never going to happen—so these liberal actors live in some other world and they constantly fail to understand their role in it.

Since Carrie Fisher’s death along with many other celebrities and their fans, those soft minded modernists who get most of their news from People Magazine, and Entertainment Tonight, are sad that in 2016 stars like Prince, David Bowie, Carrie Fisher, George Michael, and many others died giving Generation X a harsh taste of mortality. What nobody has essentially discussed was that most of those deaths occurred with a common theme of personal use of antidepressants to solve addictive personal problems stemming from poorly managed lives—and that the deaths were not so much a sad proclamation from the gates of Heaven, but just average people who faced crises and disappointments in their lives with real life blandness. The magic of their imaginations lived through in their music and characters they played through their art—but they were not able to bring that art into their personal lives—which is the real tragedy. The real Princess Leia would never do drugs or suffer through depression because that character would dominate those emotions and fight through them without chemical aid. Unfortunately, most people never really get to know these people up close—to smell their bad breath, to see that they have pimples on their foreheads covered up with caked on make-up—so all they know of those stars is what they see in their art. They never know the real people. It wasn’t that long ago where I went to dinner with a few of the members of the hit television show Beverly Hills 90210 and I was surprised at how average the girls were who were there. They spoke and acted just like 20-year-old girls in Cincinnati, Ohio where I was from—and they had the same problems. These are the people who make up our media culture and the same idiots who think that Donald Trump is a joke and not smart enough to deal with major problems around the world.

I had a chance to work in Hollywood, several times if I played it right—and believe me I thought about it. All I would have had to do was laugh at the stupid jokes of those same girls, pander to the intelligence of the 30-something directors and producers and not advertise my conservatism so boisterously. I never thought it was fair, but honestly the way that culture is now you have to be a pretty superficial underachiever to make it in Hollywood because very few people of any real talent can survive unless they put their face on some really bleeding heart liberal causes—otherwise you are cast out of their aristocratic society. Washington D.C. operates in much the same way only instead of that aristocratic society being pretty actors and actresses—they are lawyers too afraid of private practice still trying to justify the massive investment their parents spent on their college educations by hiding on K-Street where the easy money and prostitutes are. Since I didn’t fit in any of those categories and was by instinct a person of action—I had to live authentically, and that meant that my talents needed to be the kind that people wanted to make movies about—not of the type that were about people who wanted to be people who really did things but were afraid to try—then tried to cover up that fear with lots of cocaine and antidepressants coupled with self-destructive sexual relationships. It is harder to live real life and to a spectacular person that history will want to remember than to be some second-hander actor or politician who thinks it’s cool to get an ear-ring on their 50th birthday—because it helps start dinner conversations with other weak people at mindless Hollywood dinners.

Trump unlike all these other people and celebrities is a man of achievement—a guy who has built himself over and over again and always succeeded. Success is not an accident—a successful person can have everything stripped away from them—they can have every hard luck issue tossed in their direction—every unforeseen death—every perilous catastrophe and they pound, and pound and pound right on through to see a successful resolution. That is the common trait of all successful people. They don’t hide from their problems behind alcohol or other drugs and they don’t yield to personal addictions. They simply outwork those around them until their personal goals are met.

The best example of this that I’ve ever seen in a popular movie is from the Ridley Scott film, Gladiator. In that film Maximus the star general of the Roman emperor had everything stripped away from him, his career, his family, his reputation—everything only to be resurrected as a slave to society. By the end of the film Maximus had risen to the top of Roman society once again to challenge the emperor’s successor in a fight to the death—which truly captured many of the themes our current society are built upon—where does power come from? Is it granted by the gods? Is it really in whom you know? Or does it come from an individual and their personal skills coupled with a daring approach to the problems which befall them? The answer is in the last offering, everything comes from within—and Donald Trump is a completely self-made man. The wealth and success he built came from his family and he has literally bent the will of those around him to achieve his objectives. It took him most of his life to figure out all the elements with the help of a loving wife—his third—but the person who ran for president is essentially a person who never stopped trying and bent the world to his will. People like that don’t have time for drug addictions and prescription medications—they self-regulate and they always have the answers because they worked hard to get them.

It is for those reasons that Trump will easily deal with Putin and every other world leader who will soon find themselves begging for the approval of the United States. The world has literally never seen anybody like Trump before on such a stage and no, Hollywood doesn’t understand. The media doesn’t either because they’ve been taught all their miserable lives that failures and weakness are admirable traits by the same people who are befuddled by Carrie Fisher’s death whose final claim to fame in order to sell her latest book was an affair with Harrison Ford on the set of the first Star Wars film when she was 19-years-old and still uncorrupted by drugs and bad living. I picked my career path not because it was easy, but because it was hard—because it was more important to me to be free to live my way all hours of the day than to take any direction from the society aristocrats who think freedoms should yield to terrestrial desires for ear rings on 50-year-old birthdays. And that is the big difference between Donald Trump and everyone else. Some people merely reflect the actions of others and they become actors, politicians, lawyers and media people. Others actually do things worth reflecting and that is what Donald Trump is. What you hear from those social aristocrats toward Donald Trump is not that they think he’s stupid—even though that’s what they say—it’s that they are so weak. They resent him because he’s everything they aren’t—but it is their future decedents—the giggling girls with pimples on their foreheads and the young males afraid of fire who will tell the stories of such modern heroes—only at a future time when history can forgive their insecurities. But not before then.

Believe me, Trump will dominate the world stage—easily. And the value of wealth building among the human race will increase proportionally. Mark it on your calendar. Hollywood and their media culture will never understand it because like the emperor from the movie Gladiator, they don’t get their power from within—but from whom they know. And that is the difference in life between success and failure—or depression and happiness.

Don’t Fear War with China, They’ve Already Lost: Understanding history, the nature of economics and human spirit

You can tell who the communist sympathizers are in the United States based on their positions on the upcoming Trump/China feud that is percolating as it should between the free western world and the largest communist country on planet earth. American publications warning that Trump is pushing the world into World War III are obviously socialist and communist sympathizers who are advancing the humanist theories of Sir Thomas More and his 1516 novel Utopia—only instead of the Roman Catholic Church being the center of the society—it would be the religion of Mother Nature which drives modern communist sympathizers toward dystopia through their sheer ignorance on matters of the human heart. In fact, many in Europe simply failed to ever get the point of the human condition and those in the East often fell even shorter. Their only saving grace was to live minimalist’s existences as they do in Tibet, Nepal, India, and even Japan to a large degree so to avoid the hard question—that China fell to communism under Chairmen Moa and nobody knows how to deal with it. The real fear that leftists have laced through modern Hollywood, political insiders on Capital Hill, the European Union at Brussels and virtually every village hut throughout Africa, the Middle East, Vietnam, Australia and South America is that Sir Thomas More was wrong—Plato was wrong—Immanuel Kant was wrong—and thus—Karl Marx. They have all been wrong and Donald Trump is the change in direction that could have only come from America or the threat of the freedom the United States projects around the world as a last hope against dystopia under the church, the state, and Mother Nature herself. China essentially is a propped-up state by the world which will soon be exposed by the presidency of Donald Trump—and he knows it—as do the people in his cabinet who are millionaires and billionaires. They have pushed through those invisible social barriers which Thomas More warned about—and the true light of a world outside of Plato’s cave from the great book, The Republic has been revealed to them—and the world is also about to learn what makes the shadows on the cave walls—and it isn’t China’s “powerful” economy.

http://www.businessinsider.com/r-china-warns-trump-against-ignoring-its-taiwan-interests-2016-12

These are not the days for stupid people—and presently, I don’t have much patience for them. Here are the facts of the matter—China is on a power grab to spread communism throughout the world, they hold great influence over North Korea, Indochina, and openly claim Taiwan and Tibet as their territories. My feelings about China were solidified in the great Joseph Campbell books, The Masks of God where the communists took over China in 1949 and the world turned its back on the poor people of that great land where America had fought to protect them during World War II against the Japanese to great effect.

We had fought to defend those good people of their human rights against the Japanese imperialism only to surrender those people to the communism of Mao and his Russian backed insurgents making that entire region one of a communist utopia with the ghost of Thomas More smiling from the afterlife. After all, it took roughly 400 years to arrive at that moment in China where the war-torn people weakened by a decade long fight with their eastern neighbor submitted to terrible human rights abuses under Chairman Mao—which wasn’t any different from Thomas More burning heretics at the stake serving at the time King Henry the VIII. See the pattern, and I can promise you dear reader—90% of the so-called educated in the political and media establishments reading this don’t know any of this history. They simply studied at Yale, at Oxford, and places like Princeton—read the mandatory reading of Thomas More’s Utopia, Marx’s Communist Manifesto, and the Quran—got drunk, stoned and had illicit and embarrassing sex with people they’ll never meet again and justify all their mistakes and stupidity with a social philosophy that got them a good job at The New York Times, and MTV—then assumed they were right blinding defending China’s communist muscle flexing. If they really want to know what happened in 1949 to China read the last chapter of the great American general Claire Lee Chennault’s book Way of the Fighter—then dear reader you’ll “get it.”

The government of China deserves to have its ass kicked and its people freed—and deep down inside, Trump seems to know all that I’ve said above. As a billionaire who speaks to other billionaire friends they know real power when they see it—and they know from what their observations of history have revealed through finance that China really isn’t a powerhouse economy—just a propped up global menace by what’s left of Sir Thomas More’s utopian socialists. The Dali Lama of Tibet should not have to live like a refuge from his own country where he’s the rightful ruler based on their traditions. Yet China has imposed itself on those peaceful people for no other reason than to dominate them for China’s own benefit. China’s only claim to power is due to a world that has resigned its dignity to the crimes of collectivism—and much evil has followed in the wake—the United States included.

But that has now changed and Trump has a mandate by voters like me—and millions and millions of others to set things right in the world with open and free markets—true freedom of religion, sexual preference, and economic upward mobility—and it all essentially starts with China. Bitch slap China back to the Thomas More Utopia that it was inspired from concocted by medieval Europe—and what falls from it will be countries like North Korea, Iran and the war in Afghanistan. One tactical victory against China and Trump’s administration wins victories around the world—and the American economy begins once again to out-produce the world with the sheer power of capitalism.

So don’t be frightened dear reader that China might go to war with the United States under Trump—or that a trade war will cripple the American economy. China is only a peacock fluffing out its feathers with naval harassments in the South China Sea and blank threats of hostility toward United States offers of friendship to Taiwan. There can be no peace in the oriental regions of the world, or elsewhere as long as communism is at the center of the government in China. And under Trump the weapon of capitalism will do battle with the weapon of communism and that story has been told before. The ultimate answer is can America live without China—or can China live without America because that determines who has the advantage in the fight and will determine the victor. And using China’s own book on strategy The Art of War—for which I am extremely familiar—I spent 10 years studying that relatively simple book peeling back all the layers sentence by sentence until the layers were understood—and the victories of Donald Trump are already clear. China will lose in this upcoming great battle, and it won’t even be close. Beating China has already happened—it is just the world that has refused to accept it because they still believe in that stupid Thomas More concept of utopia through socialism and communism.

Ayn Rand’s work in the mid twentieth century overstepped the European works of philosophy by challenging the essential premise of thinking foundations which emerged from Plato. Most European philosophy goes back to those beginnings and if not for the origins of Islam, we wouldn’t even have those—for they took the works of Aristotle and created the foundations of their religion—which started off prosperous until many years of war took them away from their core ideas and sent them into Plato’s abyss during first the Crusades, then the Sykes Picot treaty after World War I. When Roman barbarians destroyed the Library of Alexandria in Egypt the philosophical work of many superior thinkers was destroyed—and if not for the early Muslims they all would have been including Aristotle and Plato. So as you can see dear reader, this crime in China goes back a long way and to be honest—only smart people understand it—and Trump is one of those smart people. There is more going on than the media committed to socialist utopias might guess—or even know from their European inspired college educations. To that effect, it was Henry the VIII which launched Oxford University effectively when his father Henry the VII forbid English students from attending the University of Paris. And it was in this period for which Thomas More who served directly Henry the VIII wrote Utopia was written establishing the essential philosophies of our modern world through the university system which essentially spawned off those to Roman Catholic inspired colleges. Things really aren’t that complicated if people read and understand history. But unfortunately, they don’t—especially our media and entertainment culture—which currently dominates public opinion—because it’s easy to listen to a Hollywood leftists who are attractive and entertaining us.

It’s hard to read thirty years of books often written hundreds of years ago and to work through a comparative analysis—like I have. So you can trust me when I say that China’s communist government needs to be eliminated from the world stage and the people freed under the philosophy of capitalism. Ayn Rand’s works simply touched on concepts which were explored before Roman barbarians destroyed the Library of Alexandria and as much as modern liberalism doesn’t like to think that their philosophic foundations were built on religion—they are all products directly of the forces which rejected the Protestant Reformation in Europe during the early 1500s. Trump is a man of Ayn Rand’s mode of thinking—and that will set the world on its head—deservedly so. The media of course won’t understand—because they don’t know history. But I do, so I’ll be happy to explain it as we move along in 2017. Don’t worry about China. They have already lost.

All communist and socialist countries lack imagination–the ability to think individually–where all creative input is first spawned. Imagination is the one thing that Sir Thomas More completely ignored in his utopian society and is why ultimately, Europe currently is in a state of failure, and all countries that have adopted their various brands of socialism. China is the epic example of a society that had its imagination robbed from it in 1949–and is now the biggest weakness of their entire society. They are vulnerable. Where they have tried to hide this by holding the debts of other nations–so that they could justifiably steal the intellectual work of other nations–they can easily be exposed–and Trump knows it. Therefore, their end is near and they did it to themselves.

How Hasbro and Nerf May Have Saved the Human Race: ‘Star Wars’, guns and the skills learned while playing

It was a very nice Christmas at our house for many reasons but personally for me Star Wars had returned to it in unexpected ways starting with the fantastic soundtrack by Michael Giacchino. Even though the song “Approach to Eadu” didn’t make it on the standard soundtrack—it is on the extended cut and is my favorite on the new Star Wars film—the first not to use John Williams as the composer. I like the song played below quite a lot and for readers here to receive an answer to their ponderings, it is nearly precisely what it sounds like in my brain 24 hours a day 7 days a week. That piece of music with that particular collection of instruments—and how they are played reflects more accurately than anything I’ve ever heard the type of thinking that goes on in my brain—and I simply love it. Before talking about the point of this particular article it should be noted that the new Star Wars film Rogue One has done great business at the movie theaters pulling in an additional $140 million domestically the following week of its opening and that is before the Monday after Christmas tallies are added. That is important for a whole lot of reasons but before continuing, lets enjoy that little Giacchino song.

As kind of a half joke, half serious present my mom gave me a new Nerf Star Wars gun for Christmas so I could play with my grandkids with it. It was the small version of new Rogue One guns that are popularly sold at Target department stores these days—this one was the smallest Cassian Andor version. When I opened it I thought it was pretty neat. I had recently become very respectful of this little business relationship Hasbro has had with Nerf and adding to that the power of the Disney marketing machine with the Star Wars franchise fueling desire, the guns produced recently were far better than the ones I grew up with—that was for sure. The Nerf cannons that were included on the new Star Wars toy ships particularly the new Millennium Falcon, the U-Wing and the Tie Striker were extremely innovative and actually work great. No longer while playing dogfight with a couple of Star Wars ships is there any dispute as to whether or not one kid shot down another kid’s ship—the Nerf dart makes it undeniable. Once I realized how good the ships actually worked I rushed out and bought them all and they are constantly used at my house these days—particularly when the grandkids come over. I actually look forward to them coming to visit so I can play with these ships with them because they are so functionally good—with sounds, lights and fully firing Nerf dart cannons.

That has led me to being curious about the rather sophisticated market Nerf had on toy guns because if the cannons worked that good on those little Star Wars ships, they must really be good in the guns. It wasn’t until my mom bought me one that I had a chance to actually use one so most of Christmas was spent for me shooting this new little wonder at empty pop cans set up at the desert table and I can report from about ten feet the guns are accurate enough to knock the cans over—without being any real danger to anybody. This particular Cassian gun from Rogue One shoots at about 70 feet per second which really surprised me. And the basic platform was essentially modeled after the real life AR—the cocking mechanism, the location of the safety switch and proximity of the magazine to the trigger are very close to the actual AR-15 dimensions, so kids are learning wonderful firearm skills with these new guns that I thought was important. But that’s not all, on these Rogue One guns specifically, when you cock them for firing a little light comes on inside the barrel which lights up the dart inside and once you fire it gives off an electronic blaster sound propelling the dart with glow-in-the-dark light through low light conditions like a tracer—so you can see where it’s actually going. This is great for gun battles with friends to give the illusion of a laser gun fight. You can see the shots actually coming at you which can make for some really cool play action.

When I was a kid battles with other kids was my favorite activity. We threw rocks at each other, dirt clots from the tilled garden, anything we could get our hands on to reflect the action of battle—where real consequences for not dodging an incoming projectile provided the proper motivation for moving out-of-the-way. If we were inside we threw balls at each other—baseballs, footballs, ping-pong balls, bowling pins—anything and I never ever got tired of it. When I was a teenager of 16 and 17 I would meet other kids in the woods for BB gun fights which was a lot more dangerous, but we had a great time doing this kind of thing and it taught you to be fast. To this day when something happens that requires me to move quickly, my muscle memory formed from this period in my life gets me out of danger quick. Nobody sneaks up on me without me knowing it and when I have to jump out-of-the-way from an out-of-control fork lift or a car trying to run me over on a motorcycle, I escape because my reaction time was honed as a kid playing battle all the time with my family and friends. But what Nerf has done with their new products is give that sense of danger and ramification for unskilled players to suffer under without really causing harm. If these guns had been available when I was a kid, there would have been a lot fewer stitches, broken arms, and hard feelings. After playing with the Nerf guns during Christmas I am happy to see such options emerging.

Progressives will read that last paragraph and declare that such violence needs to be erased from our culture. I heard a story yesterday about one of my very intelligent nephews who is in pre-school and was pretending to be on Mars with a space helmet. As soon as he opened the helmet he acted like he was suffocating—because he was aware that there isn’t any oxygen on Mars and that there isn’t any air to breathe. I see in the kid the early signs of real genius—and he’s not the only kid in our family like that—but of course the pre-school is trouble with him because he doesn’t follow directions well, isn’t interested in learning to write his name, he holds his pencil a particular way—and is hesitant to conform to the rules of the masses. His values of not being able to breath on Mars do not match up with the values of the typical pre-school teacher who just wants the kid to learn the alphabet. Those teachers and the society which supports them fail to understand that it is inherit in young boys—and some girls—to want to test themselves in battle—it’s in our DNA—and the lessons we learn in fighting—even for play, will carry us into all other endeavors. If a young warrior needs to learn the alphabet to fly to Mars, they’ll do it—but for really smart kids, there has to be proper motivation. They just don’t learn things like a mindless drone—they need context—which pre-schools are notoriously terrible at providing—and their public education destinations.

Our decision-making skills are modeled after the urgency of battle and its part of how human beings learn, and if you take that away from the human experience, we actually get dumber as a species. For instance, I have a granddaughter who is just over a year old. She’s not old enough to want to play “motherhood” by watching her mom and those around her handle babies and feed them while pretending to make food for people. But those are just the things she most innately responds to, the gifts she likes and the kind of play she enjoys as a little person developing. To deny that in her would be catastrophic for her later psychological condition. Yet my oldest grandson would play fight all day long if he had the opportunity and from those skills will come most of his adult wiring for interacting in life. To really understand this phenomena play any online game from Battlefield, to Battlefront or Titanfall—just pick one and you’ll see millions of people play fighting over Playstation and Xbox every day at all hours. The desire to remove guns from society and to “teach” a tendency of violence from human beings has had the negative effect of actually destroying people away from their natural inclinations. After all, the point of A Christmas Story was for Ralphie to get a Red Ryder BB gun for Christmas which was and still is the dream of most young people—especially boys. Back in the time of that 1983 film that plays constantly on television during Christmas every year it was westerns which drove that mythological desire for gunplay and the justice that comes from them—but today it is Star Wars—which was always modeled after westerns but have embraced what we know of science and technology with the yearning to tame the next frontier beyond earth’s horizons. The progressive desire to change that tendency in people has only resulted in stunting the growth of human beings at a fundamental level.

All this is just another reason that it’s good for more Star Wars films to be released which drive this need young people have for working through these primal desires for battle. Nerf with a partnership at Hasbro have done some great work in making entry-level guns that kids can play with and not get hurt as a market need was created by Star Wars to satisfy the human desire for violence while minds are being formed—not at the late date of a 20-year-old who is too late to learn new things by the time they actually put their hands on a gun. It is really infuriating to see young twenty-somethings at a gun range trying to shoot a pistol sideways “gangster” style. You can tell by looking at those kids that they didn’t have a dad who taught them anything and that they didn’t work out these issues as a kid playing in the backyard, because shooting like that is completely inaccurate. If you try that in a play gun battle with Nerf guns, you’ll get picked apart. Those 20-year-olds simply mimic movies they’ve seen by rap artists and other progressive attempts at story telling—and are therefore unprepared for adulthood. The time to teach kids things about guns is early in their life, not later and Nerf with Hasbro have given children that opportunity in a remarkable way fueled by new Star Wars movies.

Guns are a part of the human experience even though progressives would love to see a John Lennon view of the world where there is no violence or a desire for it. They would prefer sex, drugs and rock and roll to the country singing cowboy teaching their son to properly shoot a .22 rifle for the first time—and that experiment has failed. The best hope I have for the next generation is to learn more of these basic skills early in life in spite of their public educations—and through Star Wars—which Rogue One is certainly one of the great movies of all time—it gives me hope where Force Awakens took it away—that good things do come from our modern art culture that satisfies the innate needs we all have regardless of our gender orientation. So in that respect, I had a great Christmas because I learned something about the trend of our society that had been invisible before—because I’m not a kid anymore. But because my mom gave me a window into that emerging world I see an evolution in human spirit that wasn’t so obvious before except in that particular toy aisle in Target where a problem has been solved, and Hasbro and Nerf are the ones to thank. Thank God for capitalism!
