We examine the critical difference between strategically smart and strategically stupid political communication in our 100th (regular Sat's) episodes (plus 80+ MidWeek Guest drops). Effective political persuasion requires focusing on relevant issues that connect with voters rather than sharing inflammatory memes or outdated conspiracy theories.
• The concept of strategic stupidity – sharing content that only generates eye-rolls and mockery
• How focusing on irrelevant figures like the Obamas or Clintons wastes persuasive opportunities 
• The importance of discussing economic issues that affect everyone's daily lives
• Using humor strategically to bypass people's defensive reactions
• Understanding the difference between classical liberals who can be persuaded and committed leftists
• Recognizing that the GOP has become the party of working people while Democrats serve elite interests
• The need for independents to choose sides in the fight to restore the American republic
• How sharing factual, relevant information is the only way to change minds and win elections

[ChristiTutionalist Politics podcast begin Show intro]

Welcome to ChristiTutionalist Politics podcast aka CTP in association with TheLibertyBeacon.com and I am your host Joseph M Lenard and that's L E N A R D   CTP is your no muss no fuss just me you And occasional guest type podcast as Graham Norton would say let's get on with the show 

[ChristiTutionalist Politics podcast - Segment 1] 


Hello everyone!
Welcome to Season 2, Episode 100!
Yay!
Cause for celebration, I guess, or consternation for many who...
Probably not to find this show is on.
Actually dealing in Christitutulist politics, right?
The whole Bible in full context are Judeo-Christian foundations as a nation.
And today may be a shorter show cause it's kind of a recap of a show, an article I did for
TheLibertyBeacon.com from back when.
Not sure of him now if I have a corresponding show cause that article might have been written
before I was doing the show at any rate.
What am I talking about?
Strategically stupid.
Some people may be very smart and know a lot of things, but they don't understand strategy.
As I wrote and is in CTT...
CTP2 book, Christitutulist politics 2 book quotations chapter.
Some people study the art of war by Sun Tzu.
Unfortunately, a lot of USA leaders and even some generic people involved in politics
studies the art of stupid by Sunburn.
Right?
They just have no strategic ability to think while as the saying goes, so-and-so is playing
3D chess and they're playing hisly winks.
Right?
It's a couple weeks ago we had the memes episode.
I shared a couple of social media memes and expounded upon like joy is our personal responsibility.
How we act, we can't control how others act, but how we react to others and things around us
is our responsibility and I brought up the Kings X song Black Flag.
There was a Black Flag on my morning, a Black Flag on my day.
It was up to me how I wanted it to be if you're allowing others to manipulate you into acting
or reacting like the left always does.
Engaging and emotional hysterics rather than stopping, causing, thinking,
logically, reasons, thought reactions to situations.
But of course also I'm going to make a note here.
Bite, flight.
In some situations of course you don't have time to think.
You only have seconds in many cases to react.
Flight, flight or fade, I'll put in the extended show notes.
Check Buzzsprout.com for the transcript and the extended show notes are in the transcript.
There and Bite, Flight or Fade article will be mentioned in them as bad things happen to good people.
You don't know, based on my book Terror Strikes Coming Soon to a City Near You.
Yes, about terrorism as the main thread, but it's not me trying to sell fear porn.
It's not about death, but life and living.
Hope, over fear.
Let me know.
Where'd it go?
There it is.
I wrote these down because otherwise I may forget all the green screens on that stuff.
Say, say, say notes, notes.
Terror Strikes, yes, about terrorism, but not book about death, but life and living.
Life, over death.
Hope, over fear.
Faith, over despair.
Love, over hate.
Good, over evil.
Individualism, over collectivism.
Freedom, over tyranny.
Family and friends.
So indeed, crime in general, let alone terrorism, might happen anywhere.
That's the point of the subtitle Terror Strikes Coming Soon to a City Near You.
As I record this today, May the 4th, May the 4th be with you.
Right, Star Wars days.
I also read it's International Firefighters Day.
So shout out to first responders, especially firefighters for your day here.
I support you.
Thank you for your service.
But where was that going?
Right, general crime or terrorism can happen anywhere.
It's coming soon to a city near you.
Oh, May the 4th.
Apparently in Brazil, there was a lady gag me as I call her.
Concert bombing plot thwarted.
Right?
Now, these things have been plans here too, and you're not hearing how they've been thwarted.
These things can happen anytime, any place, and you need to be at least remotely.
Prepared to say, I will be a thinker, not a panicker.
That if something happens in the fractions of a second you have, you resolve to sink before you just react.
Because if you panic in landing that panic group of sheeple stampeding for the exits, you may make yourself a bigger group.
You may make yourself a bigger target and or you put yourself in that stampede of sheeple and could be trampled to death.
Okay, but today, talking back to the memes that goes back to, I didn't think to mention that during that show,
but today relates to memes in that strategically stupid.
If you're sharing memes about Big Mike, right?
I have blocked.
I can't tell you how many people in the last several days on social media, and indeed flagged my the libertybeacon.com piece strategically stupid and say to them,
this is relevant to the midterms 2026.
Ow?
Bye bye blocking because I and hope you all are on social media for things that make sense.
Things that help win votes for the upcoming midterms 2026, not just make any other comments of and about people.
Regarding Hillary Clinton also, right?
She's relevant today.
How?
I get it.
Yes.
The Obama's and the Clintons are still valid to a degree behind the scenes.
But if you're constantly trotting out things about the Clintons and the Obama's, you're not dealing in the here and now.
You're strategically stupid.
And what do I mean by that?
If you're doing things that only evoke eye rolls and laughter and then walking away from you, you're not a serious person in their eyes.
You're not capable then of helping shape real opinion that will turn into votes.
If you're not, if you're dealing in, you know, oh, now, whatever, back to big mic.
Oh, look, or the Obama daughters, right?
A post about them.
What are they doing?
I don't know and I don't care.
They are irrelevant unless if they've declared to run for public office.
They are irrelevant right now.
So stop it.
Stop it.
If you're talking about Malia and I forget the other one, Obama, rather than the economy, you're being strategically stupid.
You're not helping to shape any votes.
You're going to just be deemed as a hyper partisan, engaging in what the left always does.
A Linsky personal attacks.
And that doesn't help anything.
We need to be strategically smart and talk about the economy and inflation and what all is going on.
The things that affect every one of your neighbors around you, your neighborhood.
Those are the important things.
We must stick to that.
We must be thinkers, not those engaging in the emotional hysterics.
And I get it.
Right.
Another show.
Conspiracy theories.
Red pill strategies.
What this is about.
That will also be linked in the episode related links.
Conspiracy fact.
First conspiracy theory.
Right.
I'm going to call out some people here.
If you're constantly posting about chemtrails, for example, okay, I get some people are concerned about that.
And as I say in the conspiracy theory episode notes, it does not matter what you, me,
we know to be true.
What matters is what we can prove to be true to others who convince others.
Again, now if you show somebody a picture of chemtrails and a meme on and on about that,
you're mainly going to get eye rolls and laughter.
It's not going to win any votes.
That's what I mean about being strategically smart versus strategically stupid.
Sharing factual information that people can and will actually listen to.
They may not like facts being given to them, but, and joking.
Comedic relief.
Right.
I think jokes is a good way.
I have a show I appeared on WAM radio way, way, way back.
Let me write down that.
WAM joke.
Maybe I can find that episode to link in the show notes.
I'm not sure.
But I was talking with Clark.
I'm drawing a blank on his name.
Anyway, here's the Clark cast show way back one years ago.
Joking can help get past people's defenses that say strategically smart way to do things.
Right.
A joke about something and I don't have one off hand unfortunately to share.
But if you can present facts in a fun way and a joking way, you can get past their defenses of just eye rolls and laughter.
Or in this case, if you're telling a joke, laughter could be good.
But if you're planting the seed of something important to a Democrat, they would never ever listen to or entertain.
But you get past their defenses in a joke form planting that see that may grow and bring them to a realization later.
And I talk about Dennis Prager and the Christitucianist politics book about him.
He is right.
And speaking of memes going back to memes, I have a meme I'll try to remember to put in here that I created.
You can lead a liberal to the facts, but you can't make them think.
Right.
Based on the old force to water, but can't make them drink.
And I was wrong to say that.
Dennis Prager is right.
I'm human.
You've heard me say that right.
Braille, flawed, imperfect.
I can make mistakes.
And I've been wrong in so far as that meme that I will share.
I should have put leftists.
You can lead a leftist to the facts, but you can't make them think.
A classical liberal, you may still be able to reach like a Brandon Strach or a Kansas Owens or a Tammy Bruce,
who is now part of Trump's cabinet, all Leo Terrell, all former classical liberals that we were able to red pill because we don't deal in.
If we deal in factual stuff, over time, we can reach some classical liberals, but never reach a leftist.
And also in quotations chapter CTP to book the left.
They don't know.
They don't want to know because they do know just enough that if they really knew their delusional bubble would be burst.
So the whole point here, being strategically smart, how we share things.
You know the saying, know your audience.
It's the same thing there too.
You know, if you're leading off with, hey, did you see the latest meme about Big Mike or the latest meme on chemtrails?
Again, in the right audience, that conversation can be had, but running into people on the street at the grocery store, at the diner, at the deli, they're just going to roll their eyes and laugh.
You not with you.
So that's what this show is about being strategically smart versus strategically stupid and how we approach things, how we deliver things.
And indeed, jokes can get passed through a classical liberal plant a seed that may then red pill them, may awaken them from their woke stupor eventually.
Like those examples I gave and there are so many more examples of people who indeed were former Democrats and no longer associated with it.
Look at Elon, Elon Musk and those.
He was a Democrat and he said, as Reagan did, the party left him.
Well, the party left them decades ago and it's taken five plus decades, it seems, for many of them to start to actually wake up and all those seeds we've sowed to actually grow into full floss to them, recognizing the GOP is now the party of the people.
It always has been. We've been labeled as the party of the rich.
No, the left with quantitative easing policy has always been the party of Wall Street and the rich artificially propping up Wall Street.
I forget the percentage, but at least half of all Americans don't own any stocks. They don't have it for a 1k or a pension plan, at least not yet.
So artificially propping up Wall Street indeed helps the economy as a whole to some degree, but the price of eggs, the price of gas, the price of bread, the price of milk if they have children.
These are things that affect everybody in everyday situations.
And that is those are the strategically smart things to talk about rather than other things.
I fully recognize and apologize that my thoughts here weren't all thoroughly connected properly.
I did that articulate very well some of the points that all interrelate here.
But the bottom line being is I'll be back on social media.
This have to do invariably inevitably come across someone trying to peddle whatever and I'll be responding.
You're strategically stupid. I don't have time to waste on you.
We don't have time to waste with irrelevant things that do not convince anyone to become independent from Democrat or Republican from Democrat or independent.
Those as I often say, sorry, I'll upset some, but independence. Those who refuse to pick the side.
Remember Republican, this is a republic, Republicanism. It's right in the name.
You are either with us trying to restore our American republic, either you're with us.
And yes, there are rhinos and cenos. It's not the uni party. It's not all the same.
Remember, our founding documents say we the people.
The GOP is what you allow it to be. If you're not a delegate, you need to become one to fight to root out rhinos and cenos to make the GOP indeed the republic party.
It's meant to be and indeed is for the most part and achieve Republican goals to restore our American republic.
Enough of that change stuff. Fundamental transformation. No more of that.
We need to restore our American republic and we need to be smart and those in the independence.
If you're not with us trying to save the republic, you're with those destroying it.
And if you haven't seen it, if you're unable to figure it out by now, those distinctions.
I don't, you know, I, there's the old saying, right? I can explain it. I can't understand it for you.
Now, I have no problem with people calling themselves an independent.
I haven't voted for a Democrat in, oh, probably 20 years.
But there were still a few around. One of the main reasons I got involved in politics in high school and at really age.
My godfather, Mayor Thomas Coogan of Melvandale Michigan rest in peace.
But he was a somewhat conservative Democrat back then. There's no such thing as conservative Democrats.
He said JFK couldn't be a Democrat nowadays. That party is long gone and destroyed.
But yet some people still refuse to recognize they are strictly the open borders identity politics party.
They like to talk about millionaires and billionaires, but they're constantly at million dollar fundraisers among their billionaire friends to get money to defeat.
Right? They are not the party of the rank and file of the unions, like the GOP currently is.
They are the party of the commie union bosses who have nothing in common with the rank and file anymore.
Your jobs don't matter to them. Just the ability to steal do monies from you matters to them so they can have their lavish parties and can funnel your monies to left wing politicians who farm your ability to have a good life here in the United States.
Okay, indeed, I'm going to wrap it up there because again, I've rambled covered a bunch of things, but they all stood under the B strategically smarter umbrella.
Hope you'll check busboat with the transcript. Check out the articles listed in the related links there. Thank you all. Take care. God bless.

[ Sep 28 2024 – 2,100 words, 2 images, 2 videos – conjunction w/ CTP S2E67 ]  

Strategically Stupid…

[I INTERRUPT, BEFORE WE EVEN BEGIN for obvious needed UPDATE (Sun. Sep. 15th 2024 23:00 ET) since this piece being prepared more than 3 weeks ago and now another (2nd, by time this posts on TLB, could be yet a 3rd and 4th) Assassination attempt on TRUMP – I was on Maverick News again to discuss: https://rumble.com/v5f2ped-trump-shots-fired-near-donald-trump-assassination-attempt-maverick-news.html. The Dangers of NEWS incidents happen fast/furious when we often have to try pre-plan STRATEGICALLY (pun intended, since this piece has to do with STRATEGY) in advance that warrants pre-emption or just minor notations additions/changes. We now return to the regularly planned/scheduled piece…]

There will be several pieces you will see me say TRUMP BLEW IT on this or that in the September Debate, and to me ELECTION ISSUES this was another MISSED OPPORTUNITY by Trump… He got baited into what many think is a bad road for Trump to keep going down - I am not convinced discussing 2020 Stolen Election is Negative  IF he bothers to remind…
• GORE still claims he Won 2000 Election, and Democrats challenged the Electors in Congress then too.
• HITLERY denied her 2016 loss and Democrats challenged the Electors in Congress!
• ABRAMS still refuses to acknowledge her defeat in GA.
• BUT somehow it is an issue that we with actual evidence can prove fraud, it is a major issue and Trump is an Election denier!

Again, I think discussing such can be OK if he is STRATEGIC about it, but now let’s talk about so much that is STRATEGICALLY STUPID and generally is only going to get you EYE ROLLS and Laughter – do not Win us any Votes….

“Real Leaders studied ‘Art of War’ by Sun Tzu, where-as Leaders doomed to failure; sadly far too many USA Leaders; seemed to have studied ‘Art of Stupid’ by Sun Burn” – (Me) Joseph M Lenard --- from my ChristiTutionalist ™ Politics 2 book Quotations chapter (mainly Quotes from famous folks, but yes a few #JoeOriginal creations there-in too).

I know that most on The Right side of the Political aisle HATE the United Nations; and yes, count me among them. Ditto for wanting it out of New York; copy me that too. How about we demand it leave NYC for like Jerusalem, or settle for Bruit or somewhere in Gaza, maybe Damascus, with the point being IF those bastards all had to travel into the Danger-Zone they might give a bit more of a damn about World Peace and/or Security?!?!? HOWEVER, I draw the line at the “Strategically STUPID” (IMO) USA withdrawing unconditionally from the U. N. as if you think things are bad enough now, they will be worse if we bail and let our enemies run rough-shod over the/that body. Reality is, we need exert more presence and pressure NOT LESS on/in/at that body.

Is anyone really dumb enough to think that even if we sent U. S. Military in to clear the building and then level the building our Nation’s enemies that use that body to their ends/means would not move quickly to reconstitute it somewhere else immediately? And, again, then, if we were not to then be there to be involved THINGS WOULD GET EVEN WORSE (as hard to imagine things could get worse)! [And, yes, you probably guessed, I BLOCKED a fool on Truth-Social that started this lack of their ability to comprehend reality from their desired fantasy how things would play out.]

Let’s pivot to #IdentityPolitics - #PatheticallyCorrupt and #IdentityPolitics games/nonsense....

While YOU, ME, WE, may dislike #IdentityPolitics (idiot Left "Intersectionalism"), sometimes an enemy dictates the Battlefield that you must fight on. Failure to fight any particular battle, means Surrender (automatic LOSS). Sometimes you can pick the time and location of a battle taking it to the enemy, other times you must defend (more-so, fight back) upon the Battlefield the enemy dictates.

Running away and pretending this is not happening is not a useful strategy. Also, Hope/Hopefulness is great, but that is in no way a strategy. Trying to claim you are too good to bother to fight and get your hands dirty is (again, lame excuse for) surrender!

Lincoln did not get to just say - you know, I'd rather not bother to confront Confederate Troops amassed at Gettysburg (“Gettysburg Schmettysburg” let's ignore the situation and pretend it isn't happening). To do so would have then allowed them to March on next to anywhere they damn well pleased location northward. Unless you are completely outnumbered and have no real way to fight back, you must engage! Art of War vs Art of Stupid!

That’s where, in-part, J. D. Vance was a good V. P. choice for Trump’s 3rd run at the Presidency. Picking a Female (or someone with Dark Skin-Tone) yes would have helped us able to counter some of the #IdentityPolitics manure The Left (aided by #ENEMEdia) would attempt to taint/smear us with by/for NOT being “Diverse” enough (if you have not read last week’s piece from me “WOKEists Warping Words” you should). Vance and his “Hillbilly Elegy” book and movie – give us a bit of “cover” without any potential for allegations of direct pandering IF we are smart in our strategic use of it.

How/Why? Simple. Hillbilly Elegy was in past met with praise. Now The Left hypocrisy and turning against him/it exposes them. Vance as being from what The Left would oft refer to as “Flyover Country” can, may, hopefully will, aid us in other “Flyover States” in that sense as we sure don’t need him to help for Ohio (but too, his Ohio roots, despite Michigan disdain for Buckeye’s in Sports LOL) may aid in Indiana and Michigan and perhaps PA a bit?!?!? Any VP choice is speculative about PROS and CONS, pluses and minuses, and trying get the best positives with least negatives.

Just as The Left oft uses REDNECK as a pejorative, they do HILLBILLY, but WE get to turn it to our favor and again making it about the Flyover folks Ruling Elites would refer negatively to and about using those two terms! I will be airing 3rd week in September CTP episode with “Lady Redneck” (Singer/Songwriter) and these very points are discussed there.

Now, let’s pivot to Conspiracy Theory – strategically used smartly avoiding Strategically Stupid deployments there-of….

Matters not what you know true, but what can convincingly demonstrate others true...

[from TLB piece of mine back in January of this year…

Some still "reachable" to RED-PILL, but one must be "STRATEGIC" about it....

First – if you are NOT familiar with the term “Controlled Opposition” (whether directly or indirectly controlled) perhaps you should educate yourself on the concept before spewing Conspiracy Theory and being useful-idiots to/for the Left in aiding/abetting their discredit campaign of actual Conspiracy (under RICO) fact items!!!

Also important to note, The Left will always spin Strawman yarns about the things we say, in order to then label us as Conspiracy Theorists. Understand that I have a special appreciation for Q and the Q-Army as he and they stood by me/us (TheMighty200) back in the 2016 Election and we 200 were targeted by Politico and Hillary.

What is the predominant gist/premise of the attempt at outreach? “You can be correct all day long, but it does little good if you cannot impart facts to people in a manner they can/will receive your wisdom/knowledge… Strategy…

There are some people that seriously need to study long and hard “Occam’s Razor” (not everything that happens and you may not like is a CIA Psyop) cuz they go out of their way to dream up the most ridiculously over-complicated nonsense to claim things are way they are (or jump to extremes, even when/where true, where simple persuasion can/will work; major exaggeration, hyperbole, and embellishment, hurt not help the cause to Red-Pill folks). Sometimes, OK, but always going to the extreme possibility makes you look like a kook to the average Person asleep and preferring to keep their Delusion(s) alive cuz it keeps their Life simple!

The #WALKAWAY (Thank you Brandon Straka) and #BLEXIT (Thank you Candace Owens) movements have demonstrated there are People out there that you can #REDPILL (if you are patient and strategic). The Video from back before I began writing here on/for/at TheLibertyBeacon this based upon discusses How To Red-Pill People also based in part on a discussion I had with The Clarkcast (WAAM Radio) back when!

from GAB:

President Elect Jethro Bodine (@whodey):
That’s good about leading with the small stuff but I don’t see a lot of people going down the rabbit-hole - they depend on biased news, which tells them there is no rabbit-hole. It’s easier to point to things like inflation, BLM and Afghanistan to start to undermine the support for the narrative. Even CNN is starting to jump on Biden about Afghanistan.

My (@JlenardDetroit) response back:

Yes 
I mention BIDEN LAPTOP cuz…
Tony Bobulinksi testimony
#BabblingBidens own on Video admission of Quid-Pro-Quo
etc.…
And the Charlottesville lie, can easily show Trump on Video whole remarks and clearly not praising Nazi’s (said several times, not talking about KKK or NAZIS) which is large part of what started Brandon Straka of #WalkAway(fromDemocrats) movement on his fuller/complete Red-Pill journey when it was shared by one of his Friends to him that he then viewed fully expecting to be just some Right-wing SPIN but indeed was Trump in own words and full-context dispelling the Left-wing #ENEMEdia lies and distortions about him and his remarks made at a DOT Pressor.
Injecting Bleach false narratives, Trump full context remarks on Video clearly talking about new Tech (infrared, laser, Tech, into the veins/bloodstream (as good as or better than old fashioned mechanical blood scrubbers))!
Etc.…
And, yes, the other things you list, I just didn’t want to push the Video too long (today’s Twatter attention span level, people will get my point (good) or not (no worry, not worth further wasting my/our time on/with)) as some “Classical-Liberals” (like a Straka or Owens) can still be reached but a full-blown delusional ideological committed Leftist never will!

[continues at “Red-Pill Strategy”]

Sadly I think some folks just LOVE having people roll-their-eyes and laugh as they walk-away from them all the time – somehow helps build their ego as some “know-it-all” and everyone else on the Planet is clueless to everything. Like a moron I know that went around all last NFL Season insisting “The Ford Family had a deal with the League” and it was a certainty The Detroit Lions were to Win the last Super-Bowl. Hope he put his entire Savings on a bet for such. LOL Can’t wait to hear the next, new, lame, Conspiracy (excuses, dodges, deflections, etc.) as to how/why it didn’t happen – actually not, I hope never, ever, to run into that loon anywhere ever again (he is a waste of everyone’s time who he comes in contact with)! 

Yes, I share Conspiracy-Theory, rather what is labeled as such. And that is part of the point here. Politicians feign they hate such, but they want more and more of it because they then (as with the Hunter Biden Laptop) then PRETEND and engage in their own false narratives to dismiss some things that are very real as just/only Conspiracy instead. WE, point here, must be careful and selective in what we share with whom. Is who you are to share the “whatever” with anywhere near ready/capable of receiving the EVIDENCE (and you better have evidence, facts, “the receipts” as the saying goes, and NOT just wild speculation) or they’ll laugh and walk away. Know your Audience, as the saying goes – otherwise you just drive some further away from your cause than draw them nearer.

And as discussed in “The Need To Keep A Sense-Of-Humor” TLB piece from me, if you are so over-serious all the time --- know too that you are a BUMMER, a drag, and not fun to be around.

I know you likely also HATE the WOKE and as I call PC Pathetical Corruptness. HOWEVER, I do indeed recognize sometimes best to be a bit “reflective” about our “presentation” and “tone” at times. Yes, I have Self-Censored in this piece – I usually use #strategicallyRETARDED tag on my social-media (12+) platforms rather than what I deliberated for a long time and SCALED BACK this piece’s Title (and tone; am I starting to get “softer” in my old-age? LOL).

Sadly for too many these days are conditioned, of late, to just detest anyone not us – but if you do not defend others’ Rights then you also lose them too! Plus, remember the: First they came for the X, and I did nothing; then they came for the Y, and I did nothing; then the Z, and I still did nothing; and when they came for me/us there was no-one else remaining to aid/assist/help us. #PrinciplesNotPersonalities matters, we must Fight (Stand Against Tyranny, for anyone/everywhere) for Rights of ALL even those we may not be all that fond of.
