By Rich Kozlovich Through the course of my life I discovered that being a real leader means standing up and saying:
‘Hold it! This is all wrong, and I'm not going to stand for it, and we’re going to change!’
Whether it is in government or in business that means being the rock in the current. For a real leader, that's a quality that had to have been part and parcel of who they were for most of their life.
Let’s face it; heterodoxy isn’t for the faint of
heart, and for the most part is a personal trait. The willingness to stand against the tide taking a principled stand that means being disliked, ridiculed and rejected. But know this, if you've the courage to row against the tide, eventually the tide turns, and all of a sudden you might just be in the lead.
As for the go along to get along guys who are perceived as 'good leaders'; they may in reality only be ‘good managers’ who were chosen to merely organize the direction everyone decided to go! They’re easy to deal with, easy to get along with and would never in a million years stir up the manure. Quite frankly, I find them to be invertebrates, taking the easy way for their own benefit, so let me tell you about Col. John Boyd. An article that no longer exists on line stated:
Editor's Note: I've linked all these men to their Wikipedia page. First, Wikipedia isn't considered a reliable source. Why? Because it's fraught with left wingers who pander to left wing narratives, including changing information about people that's known to be false, and when the people they've denigrated object and change it, they change it back, and will keep doing that until that person tires and goes away.
I know that for a fact because writers I communicate with have gone through it. Therefore, often times what they say is leftist narrative, including the statement “spurious allegations of widespread voter fraud." However, if you're a reader, you can pick out the clabber, then ignore it, and utilize the rest. Please view my Dominion Computers, and Voter Fraud files. RK
Steve Chabot - In 1994, Chabot ran for the U.S. House again and defeated Democratic incumbent David S. Mann of Ohio's 1st congressional district, 56%–44%.

Prior to political office he was an officer in United States Army Special Operations and led his family's manufacturing business. Davidson is a member of the Republican Party.
Upon retirement from the Army, Davidson attended the University of Notre Dame for his MBA.[1]
After graduate school Davidson returned to Ohio to help his father run the family business, West Troy Tool & Machine. Davidson purchased the business from his father in 2005 and transformed it from a small batch machining and fabricating business into a high volume contract fabrication and injection molding manufacturer.[6] In 2014 Davidson and a business partner combined West Troy with another manufacturing group called RK Metals, with Davidson becoming managing director of RK Metals and president of West Troy.[6][7] They renamed the combined business Integral Manufacturing in 2015.[6] Davidson ceased affiliation with the company upon taking office in 2016, but continues to percentage lease facilities to Integral and a neighboring company.[1][2][6][8]
During his time in manufacturing, Davidson served as Chairman of the Dayton Region Manufacturers Association, an industry trade group.[2]
(My Take - Other than his position on cryptocurrencies, which I've read and still don't understand how it could work and don't trust the concept. Otherwise, I'm impressed with the caucuses he's a part of and I like his views. RK)
Robert Brian Gibbs[1] (born June 14, 1954) is an American politician serving as the U.S. Representative for Ohio's 7th congressional district. He is a member of the Republican Party.
On March 4, 2013, Gibbs introduced the Reducing Regulatory Burdens Act of 2013 (H.R. 935; 113th Congress), a bill that would prohibit the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and states authorized to issue a permit under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) from requiring a permit for some discharges of pesticides authorized for use under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA).[20][21] In 2018, Gibbs was supported by the Great America Committee, a political action committee registered by Vice President Mike Pence.[22]
In December 2020, Gibbs was one of 126 Republican members of the House of Representatives who signed an amicus brief in support of Texas v. Pennsylvania, a lawsuit filed at the United States Supreme Court contesting the results of the 2020 presidential election, in which Joe Biden prevailed[23] over incumbent Donald Trump. The Supreme Court declined to hear the case on the basis that Texas lacked standing under Article III of the Constitution to challenge the results of the election held by another state.[24][25][26]
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi issued a statement that called signing the amicus brief an act of "election subversion." Additionally, Pelosi reprimanded Gibbs and the other House members who supported the lawsuit: "The 126 Republican Members that signed onto this lawsuit brought dishonor to the House. Instead of upholding their oath to support and defend the Constitution, they chose to subvert the Constitution and undermine public trust in our sacred democratic institutions."[27][28] New Jersey Representative Bill Pascrell, citing section three of the 14th Amendment, called for Pelosi to not seat Gibbs and the other Republicans who signed the brief supporting the suit. Pascrell argued that "the text of the 14th Amendment expressly forbids Members of Congress from engaging in rebellion against the United States. Trying to overturn a democratic election and install a dictator seems like a pretty clear example of that."[29]
On January 7, 2021, Gibbs objected to the certification of the 2020 US presidential election results in Congress based on spurious allegations of widespread voter fraud.[30]
Bill Johnson - William Leslie Johnson (born November 10, 1954) is an American politician who has been the U.S. Representative for Ohio's 6th congressional district since 2011. He is a member of the Republican Party.
On January 7, 2021, Johnson objected to the certification of the 2020 US presidential election results in Congress based on spurious allegations of widespread voter fraud.[6] Bill Johnson is a member of both the Conservative Republican Study Committee[7] and the centrist Republican Main Street Partnership. During the 112th Congress, Johnson's "Veteran's Health Care Facilities Capital Improvement Act" was passed into law.[citation needed]
Additionally, the House passed Johnson's "World War II Memorial Prayer Act" which would require the prayer President Franklin Roosevelt gave on D-Day to be placed on the World War II memorial.[8]
The House also passed Johnson's "Stop the War on Coal Act" which would stop the creation of any new rules that threaten mining jobs.[8] Both pieces of legislation have been sent to the Senate for consideration. Johnson sponsored of H.R. 4036, the "Pass a Budget Now Act" which would cut the pay of legislators if a budget is not passed by April 15 of each year.[9]
James Daniel Jordan (born February 17, 1964) is an American politician serving as the U.S. representative for Ohio's 4th congressional district since 2007.

He vacated that position to become the ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee. A close ally of President Donald Trump, Jordan was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2021.[3] Jordan was one of the 139 representatives who voted to overturn the results of the 2020 US presidential election in Congress on January 7, 2021, the day after the storming of the US Capitol.[4]
