Why Are You Surprised?

Posted: May 30, 2023 by datechguy in Uncategorized

A lot of attention is being given to this speech at the CUNY graduation

You have an ultra left student, in an ultra left university, in an ultra left city where the ultra left hates the country, the police and Jews.

Furthermore the left has been telling you that this is who they are for the last decade or more, loudly by both words and by actions, many of them violent.

Why would you expect anything other than what you got?

By all mean be outraged at this speech and the person who delivered it, but you have no business being surprised.

I’ll give the last word to Byron York

Tell Me Your Target Audience is…Interesting Without Saying Your Target Audience is…Interesting

Not the bee is having fun with it but the reason why they don’t get the joke at Rolling Stone is that their target audience does not consist of the normal.

Five Quick Celtics Game Seven Thoughts Under the Fedora

Posted: May 28, 2023 by datechguy in Uncategorized

Yesterday’s game was a Microcosm of the entire Celtics 2023 season, a Meh start, a long run when they were ahead. Slowly losing the lead and just about blowing it in the end and then when all seems lost a miraculous save.

When I watched the interviews at the end the Heat’s coach was spot on that their defensive team did exactly what they should have. Kept the ball out of Tatum’s hands and guarding him under the rim. They were making sure that Butler didn’t beat him and he didn’t. It was a bad break for them.

The big play of course was Derick White’s put back with .1 of a second on the clock. Take a look at the video again and you’ll note that White immediately sprints for the corner and the rim and puts himself in a position to make the play. That’s what a professional does.

The parallels to the 2004 RedSox are incredible. Losing the first three games, the third in an embarrassing blowout coming back with a heroic play to even things up, not quite a bloody sock but pretty dramatic.

If I’m the Celtics management I have David Ortiz and Curt Schilling at the Garden for game 7.

Of course even if Boston wins tomorrow night they still have one more series to win for a title. The Red Sox came off their game seven win to sweep a very good St. Louis team. I suspect Denver is going to be a tougher nut to crack then the cards, but we’ll see.

State Farm Decides California is a Bad Risk

Over the last several years hundreds of thousands of residents of California have decided to leave the state deciding that that there was no future for them there.

Now State Farm insurance has decided they’re a bad risk too.

America’s biggest home insurance company has announced it will no longer insure houses in California, saying that the risk from wildfires was too great and the cost of rebuilding too high. 

State Farm, the nation’s biggest car and home insurer by premium volume, said existing customers would not be affected.

But from Saturday, no new home insurance policies will be issued. The company will continue offering auto insurance.

The shock to me is that they still consider it safe to offer auto insurance, but it is a pretty big state and there are likely more than a few places outside of Oakland, Sacramento, San Francisco and LA where you can insure a car without losing your shirt.

Of course if the state had sane forestry policies as they once did before the left made it their fiefdom this would not be an issue but the voters are bound to get the government they deserve.

Good and hard.
