Da Techguy's (no longer backup) Blog

Well I’ve got some bad news and some worse news.

The bad news is, as you’ve likely already noticed is that my main site is down and now has been for about two days. I have no idea what the problem is as it just dropped sometime Sunday while I was at work (I have a 10 hour shift on Sundays and get home sometime in the AM on Mondays).

The worse news is that my hosting service people have apparently disappeared.

The previous owner of the company who gave great personal service has sold the company and is enjoying a well earned retirement all my attempts to contact the new ownership over this outage have been thus far in vain.

There are several odd coincidences in this timing

1. I had just returned to the podcast after a month off again remaining a rather outspoken advocate of the position that the last election was stolen.
2. After ignoring things for a long time I finally email blasted my readers to let them know I’m still here just a few days ago.
3. Yesterday I had planned to post on a Catholic devotion that has been largely ignored that I am promulgating and hoping to spread to the faithful.
4. At the same time I have having issues with email from multiple sources complicating everything.
5. and of course I discovered it on Holiday when I was with my son for the whole day making follow-up complicated.

I find myself conflicted, I perceive that while I’ve been around a while & we do good work here we’re rather small fry both politically & spiritually but given my Sicilian heritage and what we’ve seen over the last 24 months my belief in coincidence is not what it once was.

So for now I’ll be posting here while I figure out what the next step is when I know something you will too.

Yesterday was day one of no mask freedom in Massachusetts and so I decided to get to church to become free from sin as well.

As I was leaving church (I go to mass generally on Sunday) I was pleased to see a lady approaching without a mask and greeted her with the quip: “The only sad thing about not having to wear masks is now you can see if I forgot to shave.”

Instantly her face turned as she realized she didn’t have her mask on and she turned to her car to get it. Thinking she had forgotten that the ban was lifted, I called to her:

You don’t need the mask anymore!

but she replied

I still want it!

In the end she has the right to remain a sheep if she wants or perhaps there is a medical reason why she needs it, but it was a sad thing to see an American so trained.

Update: Went to mass today only about 5% were masked. When at the end of the Mass father announced the official end of the mask mandate there was a loud round of applause, however at the supermarket where masks were optional the clear majority was still masked.

don’t try this too long, for fear you may awake his sense of humour and proportion, in which case he will merely laugh at you and go to bed.”

C. S. Lewis The Screwtape Letters

I had planned on writing about Javier Lopez’s part in the most unique play ever in the history of baseball (that will wait till next week) or perhaps a post that came into my head a few minutes ago concerning President Trump on the audits (That deserves something really long) but I threw both out when I saw the Matt Whitlock tweet of this video from TMZ via this Don Surber Post Via Stacy McCain

“Clarence Thomas laughs at things” would be a great account.

Here he is laughing at the idea of TMZ. So great. #CTlive pic.twitter.com/jnyYdmH9gM

Its importance can’t be overstated.

Nothing so humanizes a person like being able to laugh at yourself and here you have Justice Thomas, the greatest villain that the left has next to Donald Trump laughing at and joking with another black man who is trying to film him for whatever reason.

Don’t think for one moment that it won’t go out to the black community that has for decades been falsely sold the idea that he’s a monster although I suspect that belief is a lot strong in the white liberal community than among black Americans.

Nothing is more dangerous to the left than a person like Thomas being seen as they actually are. That’s why the Trump rallies backfired on CNN etc. Too many people saw Trump as he was, saying what he says completely unspun. It’s the reason why the tech giants and media want to silence him.

This is Justice Thomas being himself. It’s just too bad that it didn’t get out 20 years earlier.

As you might have heard a Judge in Georgia has ordered an examination of absentee ballots in Georgia

Apparently this has resulted in some lawyering up both officially

BREAKING! 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨
FULTON COUNTY, GA:

The Fulton County Board of Registration & Elections has hired two of Georgia’s top criminal defense attorneys & filed paperwork to halt the audit proceedings previously ordered by the judge!

Now it seems to me that the county would have it’s own lawyers but these folks have hired some serious legal muscle to fight this.

Why you might think that despite all those people in the media insisting otherwise that things might not be on the up and up.

Unexpectedly of course
