Quick “Shooting the Movie in Da Neighborhood” Thoughts Under the Fedora

Posted: April 8, 2021 by datechguy in Uncategorized

For a week now cars from the seventies have been parked on my street in anticipation of the shooting a scene from an Amazon Movie directed by George Clooney and Staring Ben Affleck. This morning things actually got rolling as they started putting props in place hence the bowling shoes ball and old bag and putting NY plates on the cars in the area and changing signs.

I’ve actually have quite a few things form the 70’s that I offered to let them use but never heard back.

We started getting notices on our doors a few weeks ago, they said they were going to shoot yesterday, then Tuesday , then back to yesterday and finally ended up going for today. My oldest hoping to get a batman thing singed by Clooney and Affleck took Wednesday off and crashed at the house, alas the schedule changed again and he’s out of the loop.

What was really odd is they sent a sidewalk sweeper around yesterday, not a street sweeper, but a sidewalk one. Apparently the dirt in the street isn’t a problem but they want clean sidewalks for the drive by shots.

Alas for the production there is a car parked in a person’s driveway with two flat tires and a bunch of Bernie stickers on it that was never moved. Apparently they’re going to have to CGI it out as it’s on private property and can’t just move it without the owner’s permission. The rest of us have been asked not to park our cars in the street. My car is old but even a 1999 Buick LeSabre can’t pass for a 1975 one which was ironically the 2nd car I ever had. My main worry is to be able to get to and from work today without grief.

Finally DaWife who is loath to get up early for any reason was up and dressed by 7 AM (waking me in the process) to go outside and is still there. Crew members have been here even earlier and are doing all the leg work that isn’t exciting anyone even though it’s vital to things actually getting done. Doing my best to stay out of their way since even though they’re in my neighborhood they are in fact at work putting in a day just as I will this afternoon. My wife has assigned an errand with my son that she was going to do today. Furthermore a large church of the neighbors are all outside looking. As one put it it’s the most excitement since that police standoff have a decade ago that we covered on the blog at the time.

Within 24 hours all will be normal and life will resume, the local drug dealers will be happy as they’ve had a case for restraint of trade all this week.

Carjacking & Murder vs Cutting off one’s Breasts and / or Abortion

Posted: April 7, 2021 by datechguy in Uncategorized

So let’s make sure I understand something.

The folks in DC are not going to charge the two juveniles responsible for the carjacking (and apparently other carjacking as well) and Murder the carjacking and murder of Mohammad Anwar because as youths they are not fully responsible for their actions or decisions.

BUT if those same juveniles decided that they were men rather than girls and wanted to have their breasts permanently removed OR were pregnant and wanted to abort their unborn children then not only would anyone, including their parents who even suggested that they should not be treated as if they were competent adults capable of making such a decision is not only a bigot or racist but if they were their parent or guardian the state might act to take away their custody of said juveniles.

Posted: April 6, 2021 by datechguy in Uncategorized

While vintage cars continue to arrive in the neighborhood waiting on Ben Affleck and George Clooney filming a few houses down today & tomorrow I’ll be visiting Fault lines Radio at 9:15 AM to talk about Hunter Biden and the left whole Georgia BS.

And with Lent now over keep an eye out for this space because DaTechGuy’s spontaneous livestream Podcast should return sometime before noon today, Topics, Divine Mercy Sunday MLB and more.

Be there for both, and if you come to the neighborhood to watch them shoot the movie, stay off my grass.

Update: For unknown reasons fault lines bumped me to tomorrow but once I have breakfast the podcast will take place.

Shocked SHOCKED over Raphael Warnock, Brad Raffensperger, Billy Evans & Noah Green, Brandon Elliot and Kurt Schlichter, Under the Fedora

“Reverend” Raphael Warnock, one of the two Democrat Senators elected under the old “let me steal elections” laws in Georgia in January tweeted out an interesting take on Easter Sunday, for a Christian reverend that is, stating that we are able to save ourselves without Christ. It caused enough of a backlash that he deleted said tweet.

Of course the only part of that story that makes me Shocked SHOCKED is that there are still people out there who are still surprised that a Democrat leader doesn’t actually believe just because he’s a “reverend”

.

Speaking of Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (you know the guy who recorded his call from President Trump during the lawsuits over the GA results and then lied about their content to the media which ran with his false claims) the election was COMPLETELY on the up and up and anyone who thinks otherwise is some kind of conspiracy theorist, is in the news once again. You see there is an audit of ballots that the courts (now that it can’t change who is President anymore) are allowing and old Brad is trying to have it limited:

Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger sent a request to the courts yesterday requesting that ballot images taken from the voting machines in Georgia be the only source of evidence to be used in an upcoming audit in Fulton County Georgia.  Raffensperger doesn’t want the paper ballots reviewed.

Personally I’m shocked SHOCKED that Raffensperger is apparently not delighted at the chance to prove to all the world, especially to those like me who say the election was stolen, that we are all wrong and is instead doing all he can to inhibit this count. Why you’d think he had something to hide.

I am shocked SHOCKED to see that DaTechGuy’s 3rd law of media outrage, which determines if a story is nationally newsworthy is still in full force in regard to the attack at the Capital that resulted in the death of a Capital police officer has completely disappeared from coverage and that officer William ‘Billy’ Evans is apparently not worthy of the honor of lying in state at the capital as there is no political advantage to highlighting his death.

It will be memory holed, just like Ashli Babbitt

Unexpectedly of course.

Speaking of DaTechGuy’s 3rd law of media outrage which states:

The MSM’s elevation and continued classification of any story as Nationally Newsworthy rather than only of local interest is in direct correlation to said story’s current ability to affirm any current Democrat/Liberal/Media meme/talking point, particularly on the subject of race or sexuality.

is certainly in play according to this piece at Althouse”

“No mention of the perps race in the headline. That is weirdly the most obvious clue to their race nowadays. #JouralismDiesInWokeness.”

Says one of the commenters on the Washington Post article “New York authorities file hate-crime charges in attack on Asian American woman.” 

There isn’t even an attacker in the headline. The only human beings in the headline are the “authorities” and the “Asian American woman.” The evildoer disappears. There’s no attacker, only an “attack.” But if there are hate crime charges, then the human mind is all important. “Attack” stresses the outward action. “Hate” requires a hater. There is a shadow of a person in the word “hate,” the gesture at a mind. 

But this person is depersonalized — depersonalized because he is black. If a white man had stomped on an old Asian-American lady, he’d get full recognition in the headline. Is that racist?

I am of course Shocked SHOCKED by this development, but still insist that it is more that sufficient and proper to prosecute a person for the actual attack rather than prosecuting someone over “hate” which is an emotion.

Remember if you can criminalize one emotion you can criminalize any.

Finally I am shocked SHOCKED to discover that neither reality nor Kurt Schlichter are the least bit concerned about the results of cause and effect of leftist talking points when they are put into action by leftist pols voted in by leftist voters in leftist cities

Apparently he like many of us on the right believe it’s axiomatic that in a republic the voters in a city get the government and thus the laws & the environment they deserve, but as this is Easter week I think the quote I used from St. Leonard of Port Maurice is even more apt: “Thy Damnation Comes from Thee.“

Personally I wonder if the voters in these cities keep choosing the people who do this to them or if the people who count the votes in these cities do so.
