Remember when I wrote about how the life insurance industry noticed a huge spike in unexpected deaths? Well apparently at least one insurer has decided to do something about it:

A wealthy businessman had a multi-million dollar life insurance policy for his family, and after he passed away the insurance company refused to pay. The man submitted to a shot and was confirmed to have dies from the shot.

The hitch is that on all levels, including legal, the shots are experimental. The insurance company stated the policy clearly states that deaths from experimental medicine are the same as suicide, and it doesn’t need to pay out.

“The side effects of the experimental vaccine are published and the deceased could not claim to have known nothing about it when he voluntarily took the vaccine,” a court ruling stated. “There is no law or mandate in France that compelled him to be vaccinated. Hence his death is essentially suicide.”

What’s going to be really funny is five and ten and fifteen years from now when the side effects of the current vaccines are known and families find their vaccine cards are a “NO INSURANCE PAYOUT FOR YOU!” card. Today it’s one story out of France. 10 years from now it will be millions.

Yet another reason why I’ll continue to hold out. I carry a lot of insurance, I’d like to know that when I’m gone the wife is going to get her payout.

DaTechGuy Blog Sunday Morning:

If you want info on the Texas Hostage Story You’d better get it now before DaTechGuy’s 3rd Law of Media Outrage Kicks in

Never doubt DaTechGuy’s Laws of media Outrage

Remember Molly Norris!

Yesterday I had friends over and did not go to my laptop until rather late in the day when I discovered this was going on:

 Colleyville, TX synagogue held hostage during livestreamed service; police negotiating with man. “A source on the scene told ABC News that an armed suspect took a rabbi and three others hostage and claims to have bombs in unknown locations. 

A little more:

An apparently armed man took a rabbi and his congregants hostage at a Texas synagogue Saturday, demanding US authorities release a convicted terrorist known as “Lady al-Qaeda” — and phoning a New York City rabbi in a bizarre bid for help, according to sources and reports.

So an armed man takes Jewish Hostages in a synagogue on the Sabbath and demands the release of an Al-Qaeda terrorist. Guess what the first reaction of the usual suspects was:

Because Islam of course is the victim here

News organizations played along with this business in their headlines with the BBC putting hostage in quotes and the telegraph describing the hostage taker in their lead as a: “man with English accent”

Maybe is was Cary Elwes

And the AP jumped right on the “Nothing to do with Islamic Terrorism vs Jews” with the help of an FBI whose capacity to throw what little credibility they still have left out the window has not yet reached its full potential.

Now I’m going to be there were a lot of other possible targets in a place as large as Texas that could have been targeted but he managed to find a Jewish Synagogue in the state for his crime.

Perhaps he figured that based on voting patterns in America it was the target in the state least likely to be populated by armed civilians.

But anyways it’s all over. The hostages have been freed the terrorist is dead and the Al Qaeda member in jail is still in jail (at least until her supporters discover the joys and investment potential of Hunter Biden’s artwork) and the story is done.

And when I say “done” I mean it? Why? Because of DaTechGuy’s 3rd law of Media Outrage:

The MSM’s elevation and continued classification of any story as Nationally Newsworthy rather than only of local interest is in direct correlation to said story’s current ability to affirm any current Democrat/Liberal/Media meme/talking point, particularly on the subject of race or sexuality.

If the hostage taker had been a Trump supporter or in DC on January 6th or had expressed a desire for Ron DeSantis in Florida or even had suggested that there had been the slightest possibility of fraud in the last election rest assured you would be able to find stories concerning this attack for days and weeks to come so if you were engrossed in the NFL’s wild card weekend you could catch up in a hurry once the games were done.

Alas it was an Islamist, targeting a Jewish Synagogue on the the Jewish Sabbath to release a member of Al Qaeda which means the story will be gone fast than you can say James T Hodgkinson, Terryous Jorelle Baker , Darrell Brooks or Molly Norris.

Unexpectedly of course.

SCOTUS Mandate Thoughts Under the Fedora

Posted: January 15, 2022 by datechguy in Uncategorized

The one thing I was sure about before the vote was that the three liberal justices would vote as a block. On any item the left is concerned about the justices of the left always do because that is the first requirement for being considered by any democrat.

On the right it’s a tad tougher to guess, Thomas and Alito will always vote original intent so I was pretty sure on them. The three justices appointed by Trump could go either way because it would depend on how they saw the law as written but if there was one thing I knew it was this.

When it came to Justice Roberts Old Yellowstain I knew that if the five other conservatives stuck together he would vote with them, but if he was the deciding vote to put Biden over the top he would vote with the left as he always does when he can save their bacon.

I wonder what they have on him?


What really jumped out at me was the oral arguments and the open misinformation that the three justices of the left paroted.

You can be sure that it came from their aids and clerks who got that info from the left/media.

In past days a justice would be upset at being publicly embarrassed in this way but I’ve reach the point where I don’t expect better from the left and even at this level they never disappoint.


I was watching the SCOTUS ruling with great anticipation on mandates. All of the members of my family, me, my wife and my sons were considered essential when the pandemic started and were working though all that took place. None of us have taken the vaccine flu shot that is being offered. So the ability of every single one of us to stay employed was on the line.

Funny how that goes, when the establishment needed us to carry on we were essential, now our fate came down to nine justices to decided if the left could order us to risk our lives for nothing.


The ruling itself was a mixed blessing for us. For my youngest and myself it was a big win, for my oldest and DaWife it was a catastrophic loss as both are in the healthcare field. My oldest has a religious exemption and the letter he wrote to request it was in my opinion a thing of art. it’s something that I wished I had wrote. DaWife had a religious exemption in a previous job but the company suddenly decided to no longer honor it. She had gotten an out of state license for a while before finding a job at a place that isn’t taking federal funds but we have no assurance that they won’t cave.

Yet another cost of the stolen election.


That’s the real final thought here. None of this comes up if SCOTS doesn’t duck the question of the stolen election.

All of this BS has it’s root in this and there is a tad of irony given the highly Catholic composition of the court.

The abuse scandal that rocked the church two decades or so ago had it’s roots in Catholic Bishops not having the courage to take the short term hit that exposing and making an example of the largely Gay priests who were preying on boys. (78% of the cases) and thus the church and it’s members suffered and still suffers the consequences of the fallout of said cowardice both financial and in those victimized.

The largely Catholic SCOTUS did not have the courage to openly expose what happened in 2020, their decision to duck has and will continue to cost this country for decades to come.
