Under the Fedora The Fruits of Obama, Freeman and Angels, Biden now expendable, Nancy Pelosi as Ace Rothstein and awaiting the first $1000 Oil Bill

One factor in the use of the government as a weapon against the Political foes of the left that isn’t discussed is that this is the fruit of the Obama years.

Obama was always a cheap Chicago pol and he used his high position to transform the federal government and the system into the Chicago way where government is used to enrich friends and punish enemies.

Till those Obama types are purged we’re not going to see things change.

In his famous appearance on Phil Donahue’s show Milton Freeman when questioned by Donahue on the excesses of capitalism replied: “just tell me where in the world you find these angels who are going to organize society for us?” This is a basic principle of life that people tend of act in their own self interest. And since most people aren’t angels particularly in government the best way to create ethical behavior is to make such behavior profitable.

That’s really the secret, if you make the rewards of honorable behavior strong enough then the risks of unethical behavior are not worthwhile.

CBS has suddenly decided that the Hunter Biden laptop stuff is real.

This in my opinion is a definite signal that they have decided than in a possible match with Trump in 2024 Joe Biden in expendable.

The real question is will Biden fight (Jill that is) I don’t think Joe has much fight in him, but he does know where the bodies are.

The moment I heard that Nancy Pelosi was dropping herself from the leadership but staying in congress all I could think of was the movie Casino with Hakeem Jeffries playing the role of Phillip Green. I suspect that the new leadership will not make any move that is not approved by Nancy as she, like Biden knows where the bodies are buried.

Personally I think the only reason for this is to remove Pelosi and a fundraising meme for the GOP.

Finally it’s starting to get cold and the heat has been on in the house. That means that the first oil delivery of the new Biden season is coming for me and a lot of other folks.

I get about 200 gallons per delivery which is going to likely run over $1000 as opposed to the $500-$600 that it would have in the Trump years.

If this doesn’t change the voting patterns of folks in New England nothing will.

Trump vs Pelosi Compare and Contrast

Posted: November 21, 2022 by datechguy in Uncategorized

So Let me get this straight:

Donald Trump spends a lifetime building a fortune working with Democrats in major Democrat strongholds all over the country and then runs for President and wins giving away his salary, neglecting his business interests which costs him money and trading an easy comfortable life for one where he is constantly targeted…

…and the so called “Moderate” Merrick Garland appoints a special prosecutor to go after him 3 days after his announcement that he is running for president again.

Meanwhile Nancy Pelosi in her 40 years in the House of representatives and 20 years in the Democrat leadership now has somehow amassed generational wealth on a congressperson’s salary

…and no investigation is necessary, it’s just how things are.

Elon Musk Reinstates Trump and accidently demonstrates how “ballot harvesting” is used dishonestly by the left to win elections

Posted: November 20, 2022 by datechguy in Uncategorized

Well the Trump polls is done and the Donald Won 51.8% to 48.2% out of more than 15 MILLION votes cast on twitter concerning if he should be reinstated or not.

As of 8:13 PM when I am writing this the @realdonaldtrump account on twitter still showed up as suspended but by 9:15 it was back but either way it generated 15 million votes plus a bunch of eyeballs for Twitter which was the whole point of the exercise.

But what this also did was illustrate how ballot harvesting works. Here’s what I mean:

You will note that 15,085,458 votes were cast in this poll. Reinstate Donald Trump drew 51.8% which comes to 7,814,267 votes give or take a few hundred because this is only out to two decimal places.

But let’s assume the 7,814,267 number is correct, that would mean that 7,371,191 voted against letting Trump back in. That’s a difference of 443,076 votes.

Now Elon Musk as of this writing has 117 Million followers. If we Presume that only followers of Mr. Musk voted (which is likely not the case) that would mean that there were over 100 million twitter accounts that follow Elon Musk that didn’t bother to vote in this poll.

Now if Twitter had ballot harvesting the folks who want to keep Trump off twitter would be able to access the list of followers of Musk and then secure “permission” to use their account to cast a vote against Trump.

Suddenly viola you have all the votes you need to create the result you desire. Mail in ballots it’s even easier because you can intercept them en masse or drop them off the same way. Suddenly entire nursing homes, or residential buildings and elsewhere are generating votes for your person.

Now in theory there are some safeguards in place to make sure things like this are not done against the will or knowledge of the voter whose ballot is being harvested but if you’ve got a few election officials at polling places willing to cooperate and a friendly judge it’s amazing how many votes you can generate in Democrat strongholds.

Alas for the left they do not have these things on twitter so this election could not be fixed.

Elon Musk and Eyes on the Prize

Curley: [stops Moe and Larry] Hey! What’s this stuff [Brighto] for anyway?

Larry: Why, it’s a cleaner, ya chump!

Curley: I know, it’s auto polish.

Moe: You boys really wanna know what it’s for?

Larry & Curly [In unison] Yeah!

Moe: It’s for sale, now get busy selling it.

Watching Elon Musk over the last few days reminds me of the early days of Donald Trump’s first run for president in the sense that both of them absolutely know the media left having functioned from inside it and know how to play them like a fiddle.

Twitter as a platform to generate profit has only one commodity, eyeballs and buzz. If you are an advertiser your goal is to get your product in front of as many eyeballs as possible, if you are a person trying to create “buzz” you need to be able to establish yourself as a “credible” source.

Every step Elon Musk has made in the last month is designed to bring one or the other forward.

The pushing of the $8 blue checkmark got everyone talking about blue checkmarks and baited people, particularly people who hate him, to talk and tweet about them.

The ultimatum to the workers, in addition to the weeding out of the useless percentage of his workforce (his own “Golgafrinchan B ark“) not only got a bunch of people on Twitter talking about Twitter to wit:

But got people outside of Twitter, on TV and Radio talking about…Twitter.

And then yesterday came the restoration of three large accounts, the above quoted Babylon Bee (without deleting their Rachel Devine tweet) Gordon Peterson a terror to leftist thought and of course “D” list comedian Kathy Griffin and even while doing so he baited people again and many, including myself took the bait

But while restoring Trump is a no brainer, just doing so doesn’t create the required buzz, the conversation, the tweets and the eyeballs that he is selling so he follows this up with his Pièce de résistance the Trump Poll!

As of this writing (4:14 AM EST Saturday, yeah I woke up coughing again) Seven point nine MILLION people responded to this poll.

This doesn’t count multipliers from the untold number of people who have commented on it, retweeted it, wrote about it etc,

What does all this accomplish? It demonstrates to all the advertisers that the left is trying to pressure to run away from Twitter that Mr. Musk can literally deliver millions of eyeballs almost at will.

Now if you’re trying to repress a particular point of view that’s a bad thing, but if you’re trying to get the word out about a product like Brighto

…that’s just what the Doctor is willing to pay for.

Twitter may not be real life but it produces real eyeballs. Elon doesn’t give a damn if you like him, or hate him or think his buying Twitter is an act of war, he just wants you talking about, writing about and above all TWEETING about his product.

That’s the prize he has his eyes on, anything else is just gravy.

Update: A quick example of this, check out what the Times of India is tweeting about

There’s another million eyeballs half way around the world.
