Reminder to National Review, Trump Predicted All the Results of a Biden Administration before the election

Posted: July 21, 2022 by datechguy in Uncategorized

I have a son who is discerning a vocation as a religious brother and in pondering it I found myself re-reading the book of Samuel.

At one point in the book of Samuel the people of Israel demand a king to rule over them and God tell him to grant this but before you do warn them what it will mean and as the Lord commanded Samuel tells them:

Samuel delivered the message of the LORD in full to those who were asking him for a king.

He told them: “The rights of the king who will rule you will be as follows: He will take your sons and assign them to his chariots and horses, and they will run before his chariot.

He will also appoint from among them his commanders of groups of a thousand and of a hundred soldiers. He will set them to do his plowing and his harvesting, and to make his implements of war and the equipment of his chariots.

He will use your daughters as ointment-makers, as cooks, and as bakers.

He will take the best of your fields, vineyards, and olive groves, and give them to his officials.

He will tithe your crops and your vineyards, and give the revenue to his eunuchs and his slaves.

He will take your male and female servants, as well as your best oxen and your asses, and use them to do his work.

He will tithe your flocks and you yourselves will become his slaves.

When this takes place, you will complain against the king whom you have chosen, but on that day the LORD will not answer you.”

1 Samuel 8:9-18

That instantly came to mind when I saw this:

The reason this reminds me of that passage from Samuel is that the results of a Biden Presidency was not only predictable but were directly predicted by Donald Trump. One example:

This is of course just one example. He predicted the crash of 401K’s gas prices, failures abroad, etc etc etc but this is just one post

This is why btw the left and the media and big tech are so big on censoring content, the truth of these failures are so self evident that even the NeverTrumptm Principled ConservativeTm are acknowledging them.

That being said you can be sure of three things:

  1. Every single one of those folks would not trade their vote for Biden for a Trump vote in 2020
  2. In a 2024 rematch between Trump and Biden they will remain all in on Biden
  3. If the GOP nominates someone other than Donald Trump whoever it is whether it be Ron DeSantis, Ted Cruz, Kristi Noem or even a Prune Danish they will decide that said person or pastry is even worse than Donald Trump

In fact the media’s acknowledgement of these failures is only in the hopes of replacing the no longer useful idiot in the White House with a useful one.

But be aware that all of these failures and all of these pains are a direct result of the willingness confront the reality of a stolen election and like the Democrat cities that are unwilling to confront the realities of gangs and the Israelites who were unwilling to heed the warning of Samuel we shall continue to pay the price.

Reality catches up to Starbucks

Reality: I am going to tear down your safe space, brick by brick I shall smash it with glee.
Cartman: What? Who is that?
Reality: You cannot stop me from getting inside, I am cold and I am hard and my name … is Reality.

South Park Song In my safe space from the episode Safe Space 2015

In a rough economy it’s not unusual for a chain to close stores, but it IS unusual for them to close ones that are still showing a profit.

“There are gonna be many more [store closures].”

The leaked video of Schultz shows him addressing Starbucks employees. He told them that the company was “beginning to close stores that are not unprofitable.”

Schultz said he was “shocked” to hear from employees that “one of the primary concerns that our retail partners [baristas] have is their own personal safety.”

“And then we heard about the stories that go along with it about what happens in our bathrooms,” Schultz said.

Of course what goes on in their bathrooms is due to a woke policy implemented to show the world how wonderful they are.

It seems the liberal owner of Starbucks has had a revelation: Realty doesn’t care how woke you are. This revelation came with a policy tweak:

I also suspect he is smart enough to realize that it is only a matter of time before an employee will be killed or maimed in one of those locations and the company’s national policy blamed and them sued.

I suspect that has a lot more to do with his sudden dawning of knowledge and wisdom than anything else.

Full Circle John Cleese meets the Babylon Bee

Posted: July 20, 2022 by datechguy in Uncategorized

I’m old enough to remember when a place like the Babylon Bee would not be considered a platform for a guy like John Cleese

but he was.

I thought it was interesting at the end that they never considered that Cleese might have wanted to meet Jesus even though he declined their kind offer of conversion.

Slouching toward Philadelphia

It’s only been about a month since 73-year-old James Lambert Jr. died–one of the most disturbing murders in Philadelphia’s violent history.

But his death has almost faded from the media coverage and the public conscience as other brutal crimes continue in the City of Brotherly Love.

Here are the pertinent facts: surveillance video shows a teen hoisting a traffic cone above his head before striking Lambert. Then, a girl in her stocking feet with a pair of sunglasses atop her head can be seen retrieving the cone and appears to do the same thing. It looks as if she strikes the older man not once but twice. Another child seems to be holding up a phone to videotape what is happening as another rides his scooter. 

Lambert died while walking in a neighborhood about a mile from Temple University, where I worked for many years. 

Two “children”—a 14-year-old boy and girl—have been charged with murder for killing Lambert with a traffic cone that struck him in the head.

Back in the day, “the neighbors were the village. They policed you. They parented. They would tell your parents if they saw you doing something that you weren’t supposed to do, and before they told your parents, they would say something to you. You really couldn’t get away with a lot,” Christine Brown, director of community services for Beech Companies and who grew up near where the attack took place, told The Philadelphia Inquirer. “Things are just different. Children don’t speak to their seniors, and seniors are afraid to live in their own community, and that’s sad.”

“Back in the day” was a long time ago. Maybe the early 1960s? Since that time, Philadelphia has become a mess, mainly because Democrats have led the city to the brink of despair and disparity. 

Philadelphia isn’t much different from a lot of cities. The school system is bankrupt, and a new superintendent seems more interested in an “anti-racist” curriculum than a formula for learning.

The police chief has neutered her officers.

The district attorney is a George Soros post child.

The mayor has given up even though he has a year left in his term.

The only change after Lambert’s death is a new curfew. Those aged 17 and younger must be indoors and off the streets by 10 p.m.; those 13 and younger must be home by 9:30.

If the schools don’t teach children much, the police chief and district attorney don’t enforce the law, and the mayor has given up, I find it unlikely a curfew, which won’t be enforced, will change Philadelphia’s slide toward anarchy.

A school superintendent who emphasizes learning may make a difference, but school vouchers would be a better solution.

A change in the attitudes of the police hierarchy and the prosecutor would make a difference. 

A new mayor—preferably a Republican—also might make a difference. The Democrats have run the city since 1952, and maybe 1952 was “back in the day” when times were, in fact, better.
