Well the moment that the left has been waiting for and working hard to achieve has finally come.

Lefty pols, lefty press and lefty activists have been doing all they can to produce a dead body that they can decide to lay at the feet of Trump and ICE and now that has come to pass. Several thoughts:

  1. Do not think for one moment that the pols the activists and the press are sad about this woman’s death. I submit and suggest they are absolutely delighted. This has been their goal for almost a year and they’ve done all they can to produce it. While they might have preferred a person of color to be the body in order to cry “racism” the fact that this is a white lesbian woman with children will fill the bill in other ways for them. While publicly they will wail and gnash their teeth I assure you privately they are overjoyed, particularly at the prospect of taking Minnesota fraud out of the news loop.
  2. I feel bad for the dead woman in question and her family. Not because her actions didn’t warrant getting shot, trying to run over a federal agent is a fine way to get yourself killed but while it’s possible that she was all in on the “ICE is the Gestapo” business based on reporting she was persuaded to come down and her lawfully married spouse who was busy was busy blaming herself for making her come down there. Now her dead body and her family are going to be exploited again by the left and used as a prop. You’ll see tearful pols and angry leftists screaming bloody murder and talking fondly of the dead as a brave warrior for freedom when she was in fact a useful idiot who is more useful now that she’s dead than alive.
  3. This will have one of two effects on the rest of the useful idiots out there being paid to harass ICE who should at this point realize: “Oh my God this could have been me!”. I suspect given the idiocy of the left we will get a lot more of the 2nd than the first.
    • What the hell am I doing out here risking getting killed? The money isn’t worth it, I’m being used!
    • This lady will be remembered as a “hero” If it happens to me my life will have meaning and purpose at last!
  4. The fact that there is plenty of video evidence that this woman refused to leave her car when ordered and was trying to run down the Ice agent (whether due to panic or malice) will be immaterial to either the leftist pols or the leftist media or anyone else. Their narrative is out there and no actual physical evidence will matter. Tim Waltz particular is going to go all in as the topic is no longer him or the scandals in the state and even better for the left the President’s success in Venezuela and vs Russia and the revolt in Iran, all of them stories they do NOT want to cover, can be pushed to the back burner. Reality doesn’t matter to these people, just the narrative and now they have their narrative and they’ll push it through as many news cycles as they can, oh and don’t think for one moment that those involved in the fraud will use this distraction caused by this to destroy records etc that will hurt their cause.
  5. Finally Consider this from a non-political angle. You’re a woman with young children, what the HELL are you doing harassing federal agent during the day and taking this kind of risk? What kind of example are you setting? With your spouse filming are you really more interested in getting a viral moment than being a mother to your children? What parent sets this kind of example, and if she was pressured by her spouse what parent doesn’t resist such pressure for the sake of her kids? It reminds me of the transgender craze where mothers are spaying their own kids for status. It’s bad parenting, it’s narcissism and her kids are going to pay the price for the rest of their lives.

Well in addition to a new year it’s a new month so of course we have a new Indulgence Calendar

And I want to remind everyone that the Jubilee year ends at midnight on January 6th so you have six days left to be able to get through the holy doors AND to take advantage of the late Pope Francis’ decree allowing you to earn 2 Plenary indulgences a day during the Jubilee year.

Remember the 2nd plenary indulgence for the day MUST:

  • Be offered for someone deceased NOT for yourself
  • Requires a 2nd reception of Holy Communion that day which MUST take place at a mass

It will likely be the last time you get a chance for a 2nd plenary indulgence in your lifetime so take advantage of it if you can.

DaTechGuy 2025 Year in Review

Posted: January 1, 2026 by datechguy in Uncategorized

After five months of having my Youtube account back thought it was time to shoot a video so here is DaTechGuy’s 2025 year in review

here is part two as I’m still using the same old camera that stops at 20 min

For some reason the version of this edited together as one video lost the sound from part 1 so I don’t include it here.

I think 2026 will rock.

For all the horrible things our friends on the left say about America being racist, sexist unequal etc etc etc let me make one important point.

This horrible America of which you speak is so great that given the choice between going back to their own countries at no cost to themselves with $3000 in their pockets (An amount higher than the average yearly income in 54 countries) or staying in the US and risking arrest and deportation the majority choose the former.


On twitter today saw a post about how difficult it was to program back in the punch card era compared to today when you can literally ask a AI to create code for you. The fellow marveled at the progress in just 50 years and he’s right about that but let me tell you want progress really is:

Being able to feed a family of four a hot meal with meat for less than an hour wages? THAT’s human progress that king and princes could only dream of.


It’s very easy to forget that Donald Trump has been back in office for less than a year. This is because of his insane work ethic and the breakneck speed that things have been

The amount of things he has managed to get done in these first 11 months is so vast that any other president in history would have considered it a grand set of accomplishments for a full term and quite a few presidents would have been lucky to accomplish as much over two terms. Any person with a even a slight grasp of US history could see this.

Yet lately my X feed has been bombarded by posts aren’t happening fast enough in the Trump administration from cracking down on fraud to arrests, particularly arrests. The post seem unrelenting

I’m thinking this is one of two things or possibly both.

It could be that people just have gotten so used to Trump getting things done fast they can’t grasp the idea that getting things done in Washington is the exception not the rule. It’s sort of how Patriots fans were spoiled by Tom Brady basically making a trip to the Super bowl every other year and acting like something was wrong when we didn’t

It could also be a PSI-op to anger Trump supporters to trick them into staying home in 2026 and try to drive his numbers down.

Frankly if it was my job to try to foment dissent within MAGA that’s how I’d try do it.

One must always remember that most pols aren’t saints. There are some who will do the right thing out of principle (although they might disagree on what the “right thing” is) but in the end most will only do the right thing if the incentive is greater than doing the wrong thing or nothing at all.

That’s reality


When I went to mass yesterday I passed by the cheapest gas station in town which is conveniently located next to my church.

Gas was $2.63 a gallon. That’s a full 16 cents less per gallon than it was two months ago.

Over the course of a year that’s enough saving for me and DaWife to pay 5 water bills or allow us to go out to eat 5 times.

If that’s not enough Friday when I went to work there were no temps in the building.

That it itself is not unusual for the day after Christmas, but what WAS unusual is that Friday was the first day this month when there were no temps in the building.

Last year the temps were gone by December 3rd and at no time during the Biden presidency where they here for more than a week.

The Trump boom is coming in fact it might be already here.


One of the things about importing people from a different culture who don’t want to become Americans is importing a different value system.

A great illustration of this was shown nearly 50 years ago on the TV show “Yes Minister” in an episode called: “The Moral Dimension”

A great explanation of how this works comes from this excellent post on X

Key Quote:

The weird thing about this to me was that whenever I turned down such an offering, it was treated as a grave insult. I was the one in the wrong, and not the fraudster trying to bribe me. They considered it rude that I was in their country and refused to accept how things got done. After all, why did I not want to help my tribe by helping their tribe?

Let me repeat: in these cultures, FRAUD IS NOT EVEN A CONCEPT. There is only what helps your tribe.

They people have no concept that stealing is wrong, unless you’re stealing from them. The stealing doesn’t shock these folks, what shocks them is that we weren’t already doing it on the scale that they are.

Until that changes things won’t change.
