February 2025 Election Blog
New year... new election season...and new blog, which will focus on whatever elections peek my interest and inspire me to comment. Soooo, right outta the gate , and with regard to the upcoming gubernatorial race in Ohio, please be advised that , even if he enters the race, David Yost , who currently serves as the Ohio Attorney General , will not be the next governor of Ohio. Now, let me repeat that for the ones in the back: David Yost, currently serving as Ohio Attorney General, will NOT be the next governor of Ohio.
And just exactly WHY won't Dave be Ohio's next governor?
Well, for starters, I allege and assert that, I have become a 'whipping boy' for the State Attorney Generals office, if not a target for its largely white female assistant attorney general staff, some of whom , I allege , have become obsessed with taking me down , and are breaking the law to do so. Under the circumstances, Yost must answer for his staff and any alleged misconduct, and will not be allowed to carry the same corrupt agenda that has marred ( if not defined), the Ohio Attorney Generals office, into the governors office-- at least he will not be allowed to do so on my watch.
Further, and as a direct result of Ohio vs Mt Zion ( a fraudulent and equally outrageous civil action filed in the Athens County Court of Common Pleas), the Ohio Attorney Generals office was used to seize control of the Mt Zion Baptist Church of Athens, Ohio, which , pursuant to ORC 2921.41 A (1) is a crime. Moreover, despite that Ohio vs Mt Zion was filed by former AG Mike DeWine, and then Assistant AG Kristin Hayes, it continued under Yost, who, consequently, must bear the brunt of his colleagues actions.
Finally, the state take over, and ultimate dismantling of the church, (one pew and window at a time), was, by my definition, a hate crime, and I want everyone involved held accountable--including Yost.
Its not all about me tho, because a lot has gone wrong under Yost, and should he dare to enter the gubernatorial race, it will present the perfect opportunity to put it all on blast.
update: David Yost resigned from his position as Ohio Attorney General on May 7, 2026, and will not be a candidate in Ohio's gubernatorial race. I'm still baffled by his resignation though, since there were several months left in his term, which was set to end on January 11, 2027. That said, I'm also baffled by his subsequent employment with Alliance Defending Freedom, a non - profit which, among other things, works to protect religious liberty and free speech. In short -- given that Yost, as Ohio Attorney General, continued 'Ohio vs Mt Zion' -- a civil action that essentially allowed the state to carry out a coup d'état at the historic Mt Zion Baptist Church of Athens, Ohio, I'd say Davey Boy is ill- suited to work at or for Alliance Defending Freedom.
But then, who cares what I think?

And then there's the Cuyahoga County Executive race.
Is the current exec, Chris Ronayne running again? Lawd, I hope not, but whether he is or isn't, I'll spill the tea on him anyway... if for no other reason than to demonstrate that the establishment of the county executive position, as a cure for all that ailed Cuyahoga County following its infamous corruption scandal, didn't cure anything. Instead, it just made it more difficult , if not impossible, to hold someone accountable for rampant misconduct, which, I allege, has not only continued since the scandal, but escalated.
update: Tea loading ya'll ... Hold onto ur hats ... and yes, he's running for re election.
