Five Thoughts Under the Fedora: Brought to you by Pfizer, Jason Who?, Invisible Black Women, Unnewsworthy Gay Men and a Coincidence too Far

Posted: May 12, 2022 by datechguy in under the fedora

I’m old enough that I still listen to the radio when I drive and suddenly there are ads playing regularly warning of the signs of clots that can become aneurisms that I had never heard before.

All this ads are brought to you by Pfizer.

A coincidence I’m sure.

I was on my lunch break during the 4th quarter of gave five of the Bucks and Celtics game where the Bucks after being down as much as 12 in the 4th came back to tie it with under a minute to go and then win it when they got a rebound off a missed free throw and put it in and then stole the ball from the Celtics.

Over the last 3+ Minutes there was one name I didn’t hear during those last three minutes: Jason Tatum.

We’ve been hearing for weeks that he should be considered a superstar yet for some reason he didn’t touch the ball.

Just a coincidence I’m sure.

With a week to go before the Pennsylvania primary a GOP candidate who is surging to the point that she might pass the Trump endorsed Doctor Oz suddenly had her Wikipedia page taken down.

Wikipedia claims that she is not notable enough. Commenting on the matter she said:

Barnette posted a photo of her deleted page on Twitter with the caption, “When they cancel me, they’re cancelling you. Wikipedia just pulled my page down with a week left to go in the election.”

You would think they would promote a candidate different from whoever Trump endorsed however it seems that she would not only be the first black woman to serve in the senate from Pennsylvania but a big part of her story is that she was conceived in rape and her mother choose not to abort.

Yet apparently that’s not good enough to be noted. You would think cancelling a black woman would be consider beyond the pale these days but it’s apparently not.

Again another coincidence.

Speaking on something you don’t see every day a politics site in Florida broke the story of a sexual harassments scandal of a rising political star accused of sexual harassment, and then encouraged people not to report on it or bother the candidate about it. As Don Surber put it:

While it broke the story, Florida Politics asked others to go easy on Alexander. A confederacy of dunces followed and the rest of the media in Florida largely ignored the story.

The Tallahassee Democrat, the only newspaper to report on it, hid its story behind its subscribers only paywall. 

For the record the “rising star” Ramon Alexander a married father of two, is both a Democrat and is being accused of harassments by a man who Alexander claims he had a “consensual sexual relationship” with.

Boy the coincidences are just pouring down today aren’t they?

Finally yet another associate of Bill Clinton, Mark Meadows has died at the relatively young age of 59.

Given the spate of sudden deaths since the vaccine one might say “coincidence” here but for this paragraph in the Daily Mail story:

One of Bill Clinton’s former special advisors who helped cement his friendship with Jeffrey Epstein has died at the age of 59, becoming the latest associate of the former President to die young. Mark Middleton’s family said that he passed away on Saturday in a statement which did not reveal the cause of death. (snip) During that time Middleton admitted Epstein to the Clinton White House on seven of the at least 17 times the late pedophile visited. Middleton also flew on Epstein’s plane and appears to have acted as a conduit between the two men.

I’d close with a sly line about coincidence but I don’t think there is anybody left who would by it in this case.

Don’t be Sad Cause 58 out of 59 Ain’t Bad

Posted: May 11, 2022 by datechguy in Uncategorized

Despite the media’s relentless attacks for over half a decade and the tech companies doing their best to silence his supporters Donald Trump has managed to have 58 out of 59 candidates he has endorsed win in this primary season.

Guess which one the Hill decided to focus on:

University of Nebraska Regent Jim Pillen was projected to win Nebraska’s Republican gubernatorial primary on Tuesday, dealing a high-profile loss to former President Trump, who aggressively backed one of his rivals.

Because nothing says a person is losing influence like going 58-1 rather than 59-0.

$630 Diesel! The Left’s Plan to Slaughter the Middle Class advances

They’ll turn us all into beggars ’cause they’re easier to please.

Glenn Reynolds

I was driving home from morning mass today and passed the gulf station on main street in Fitchburg.

The sight of regular at $4.17 was bad enough but Diesel at $6.30? That’s a disaster and not just for people with German cars.

This means that every single product that you buy will cost more because every single product you buy is delivered by truck.

However there is something even worse.

The primary difference between diesel and home heating oil is the way it’s taxed. This means that every blue New England state, including those who fought tooth and nail to keep pipelines and other energy delivery systems out, are going to have a ton of trouble affording to heat their homes.

To say this is going to decimate the middle class is an understatement, but to our friends who want us all dependent on government this is a feature not a bug.

If you want to know the cost of letting a stolen election happen, now you know.

The Left Wont Like the New Rules on Protests and Molotov Cocktails

That’s all I can stands, I can’t stands no more!

Popeye the sailor (repeated quote before eating his spinach & beating the bad guy)

When the IRS was busy going after conservatives under Obama I wrote this:

If you’ve read the first three parts of my worries concerning the IRS scandal there is one assumption that might not make sense to you. The left often portrays the Tea Party as a group of violent gun toting thugs, ready to snap into a multi-shot rage at the drop of a hat. A collection of cowboys. That being the case, why on earth would they not fear to provoke such well armed people with  a violent streak?

The answer is very simple. The left may say all these things about the right and violence, but the leaders who spew this stuff know it simply isn’t true. They’ve seen the tea party crowds pick up after themselves, they’ve seen the right to life marches bury the capital in people without an arrest. They saw Glenn Beck events take place with little or no incidents. Even more significantly they’ve seen their own speakers at colleges around the country walk without fear while speakers of the right need massive security to function. This has gone on for years and years and years without a reaction. The left assumes that as long as they don’t strike first at the right they can do what they wish.  It’s reached the point where the very suggestion that the right would fight back is almost quaint.

Since then we have had a stolen election, peaceful protesters locked up for months without trail for trespassing while rioters and looters in US cities are let loose, police targeted (unless they shoot conservative trespassers) parents labeled as domestic terrorists, SCOTUS opinions leaked to try to rob a ruling, massive censorship and an actual mister of disinformation appointed.

All of these things have targeted conservatives and that’s not even considering the inflation, debacle in Afghanistan and the renewed threat of Nuclear War to save graft for the left funneled through Ukraine threated by the Russian invasion.

And now we have folks being harassed at Churches and firebombings:

I stand amazed that we have not had an actual shooting Civil War or Lincoln County war on a national scale. The left seems to think it’s impossible but it’s becoming more and more likely as they continue to act more and more desperate.

I think the only thing saving us from this result is the likelyhood of the left getting stomped in the upcoming election not to mention 2024 but let me make a rather unpleasant prediction.

If we see this Supreme Court ruling stolen, and election 2022 stolen as well I think the very well armed right will decide that neither the courts nor the ballot are legit and will finally reach the points of “That’s all I can stands I can’t stands no more.”

Because once the right decides to cross that line I suspect it will not stop with firebombs and beatings I suspect it will be more like that famous warning from the Magnificent Seven that Vin gives the famers in the village plagued by bandits:

Once you begin you have to be prepared for killing and more killing, and still more killing until the reason for it has gone.

The right doesn’t want this which in my opinion is the only reason it hasn’t happened.

People on the left who have lived their lives in the safest and most pampered nation in the world have no idea how bad it’s going to be if the decision to cross that line is made. As a person who reads history I do and I urge those on the left who are not actively seeking a bloodbath to think very carefully and move away from the ledge for the sake of us all.

Because they will not like the new rules, not one bit.
