Shades of Steve Martin and a Startling Surprise in this story about the NYT & July 4th

Always look on the bright side of life

Eric Idle

You know the Hatred of America and the institutions that make it great has become such a standard part of the American left and it’s allies that when I saw this at Instapundit from Sarah Hoyt about the NYT “cancelling” the Declaration of Independence

THEY’RE STILL TRYING TO INSERT ‘HE HAS DENYIED ABORTION’ AND ‘COLLUDED WITH RUSSIA’ INTO THE LIST OF KING GEORGE ABUSES:  NY Times ‘forgot’ to print Declaration of Independence for the first time in 100 years.

I was not in the least surprised. That was until I actually clicked the link and read the NY Post story on the subject. The “excuse” given for this omission in this story was no shock:

New York Times spokesperson Danielle Rhoades Ha explained that Times employees simply forgot to put the Declaration of Independence into print this year. 

She said, “We have a longstanding tradition of printing the Declaration of Independence in the July 4th print edition. Due to a human error, it wasn’t printed this July 4th so was included in the July 5th edition.”

Shades of classic Steve Martin:

It was no “shock” at all, all of these mistakes by the left media only go in one direction, however as unsurprising as the story was in general the second line of the piece was a complete shock to me:

After disgruntled readers voiced concern, the paper printed it on July 5.

Now admit it, If somebody told you the NYT had enough readers who would be “disgruntled” by the omission of the Declaration of Independence in the 4th of July edition of the paper that they would decided to print it on the fifth rather than just leave it out would you have believed it?

I wouldn’t have.

Perhaps there is still hope for America.

The 3% Solution in Pro-Life States

There are some people who are worried about all the “good” that Planned Parenthood will not be able to do in states like Texas, Florida, Arkansas and others were abortion will now be banned with the Dobbs decision the law of the land.

These people, if we are to believe the pro-abortion left, are of course mistaken.

We have been told for decades that abortion only accounts for 3% of the business Planned Parenthood does. It’s been insisted than anyone who claims that they are simply an abortion mill and that the 3% figure is a lie of creative, or not so creative, accounting, is advancing a blatant falsehood.

So with abortion bans about to take place in multiple states we will now have the chance to see how true these statements have been.

If abortion is in fact only 3% of Planned Parenthood business and things like ultrasounds and mammograms and all kids of care for pregnant mothers expecting to deliver children we should see plenty of business for planned Parenthood Clinics in Alabama, Louisiana, Texas and other states where abortions will not be legal. That 97% of their business should still be going on strong and healthy particularly since women of the left will be anxious to take advantage of these services in support of their ally.

But if within a year Planned Parenthood closes these offices or relocates them to locations that boarder states that allow abortion then I think we might just have to question if their 3% figure was a lie.

July Indulgence Calendar Plus Previews of coming Attractions and other loose ends under the Fedora

Completely forgot to upload this month’s indulgence calendar although it is available at the WQPH website

Here is the file if you wish to use it:

I’ve now been offering this devotion for a year here, at our parish and at the WQPH radio site. Not sure how many if any are praying it but you never know.

Speaking of WQPH a reminder while the DaTechGuy on DaRadio show is long gone and the DaTechGuy spontaneous Podcast has not had an episode in a very long while the radio show Your Prayer Intentions on WQPH is still going on in full swing broadcast every Saturday at noon and midnight.

If you have a prayer request you wish prayed for you can leave it in comments or post it here at the WQPH prayer wall.

Oh and this one day retreat sponsored by WQPH scheduled for June 23rd while I was at Pintastic NE has been rescheduled to this Saturday. Last I heard there were still 7 tickets left if anyone is interested.

I currently have two online leagues in progress at the Dynasty site, My 1969 Draft league is now in 1970 expanded to 18 teams in 3 divisions. We’re 33 games into a 162 game season I’ve also got the 3rd season of our all pathetic league going on with 16 teams and 100 games. We’re 12 games in and have a few openings (5 to be exact) if anyone wants in. More importantly one of the players in our face to face league is moving to upstate NY in a month meaning we will be a player short. We play a 60 game face to face season with 3 games every other Saturday at Zeda’s Pizza in Fitchburg MA. If anyone is interest in taking over last years world series champion Colorado Rockies and can commit to about 4 hour every two weeks in Fitchburg contact me ASAP.

I’ll be doing full league posts both here and at DaTechguyblog.org

Finally I haven’t heard back from the Lawrence School nor did I get the hard copies of the info I had been looking for concerning the CRT stuff being taught that I hinted at before Pintastic so I’m going to go ahead and put out the rest of what I have next week. I’d do it this week but I figure less people are paying attention during this week.

That our enemies put a concerted effort to take over our schools to hurt us is to be expected. That Americans are not only cooperating with these efforts and even using them for profit is obscene.

One Thing You Have To Remember About all the Left’s “I Hate America” July 4th Events, Tweets, and the Apologies that Follow…

Posted: July 4, 2022 by datechguy in culture

…Is that they don’t hurt them.

Remember the “Hate America” , “Death to America” crowd IS not only their base but with the violent left, are the only part of their base still motivated to show up at the polls.

So when said base hold such an event it is to be promoted and celebrated because those are the voters that you’re going to recruit for the party, not only as voters but as “muscle” particularly as these are the folks who will be happy to bend or break the rules for you.

As for the apologies, they are as honest as Barack Obama’s declarations in 2008 that he believed marriage was something between a man and a woman and Harry Reid’s promises to Mitch McConnell. This is a post Christian “ends justifies the means” party so lying to a public about their support of these things is just the cost of doing business and of course they know the media will cover for them to keep people who are indifferent or uninformed either unaware of what was said or assured that it was an aberration.

But the left’s people know these apologies are all an act.
