Da Techguy's (no longer backup) Blog

Heard from Zilla today. The good news is that you guys came through enough that she has been able to get some basics that is needed since getting out of the hospital, and my thanks to everyone who helped.

The bad news is that she’s still $900 short & unless she can come up with it by 9 AM Monday the car is repoed.

If you can help, Please clink here and kick in.

I know people are getting excited about the possibility of Biden Administration losing on a nominee or two but let me cruelly throw a bit of water on this.

Be aware if these nominees are defeated the Biden administration will put in place nominees with the same opinions, the same objections and the same hatred of us…just without a paper trail.

This doesn’t mean of course we shouldn’t stop these guys but we should do it with eyes wide open.

Oh and an FYI: You’ll note I said “Biden Administration” nominations rather than the “Biden” nomination. That’s because in the DaTechGuyblog.com stylebook anything to do with this presidency should be referred to as being done by the “Biden Administration” rather than Joe Biden because the reality is Joe Biden is no more in charge of this administration than I am.

To say the testimony and priorities of Merrick Garland that were on display during the hearings on Monday were “interesting” is about as a big an understatement as you can get.

When you have a person claiming that attempting to burn down a federal courthouse is not terrorism because the judges were not sitting is session that’s interesting to say the least.

I wonder what that would mean concerning the Kavanaugh protesters pounding on doors?

His testimony has erased of the myth of the “moderate” Garland that was promulgated when he was nominated for the SCOTUS court which is good, to quote a conservative writer, I prefer my wolves in wolves clothing.

But the biggest winner from these hearings has to be Mitch McConnell.

Right now McConnell’s standing among conservatives is about as low as it can be as he has gone full swamp publicly.

However yesterday’s hearing has reminded us that the only reason why this man is not creating law out of the whole cloth is because Mitch McConnell in the face of as much media pressure as he could possibly face, didn’t let him get there. The fundraising mailers write themselves.

Now given what we saw from the court this week one can question how much of a difference it would have made but nobody conservative can question the fact that keeping a justice’s robe off of Merrick Garland’s back was likely the greatest single service that Mitch ever did for his country.

If I was Mitch McConnell I’d send him the nicest fruit basket they have in the shop.

One of the basic facts of life are that if you reward an activity you get more of it and if you punish an activity you get less of it.

Attacks on “whiteness” are a great example of it.

these days the rewards of attacking “whiteness” are great, government grants, places of honor in universities, jobs for people with degrees in various “woke” studies and companies and the elites rushing to embrace you and fund you to prove just how virtues they are without showing any sign of actual virtue.

It’s like the sale of Indulgences  on steroids.

There alas is a fly in the ointment that the various lawmakers, universities, corporations and media types have forgotten.

And that are laws and regulations concerning “hostile work environments”.

You see when the left pushed for these laws all those years ago in the name of “equality” they never dreamed of or didn’t anticipate a day where they might actually be the ones wielding power over their enemies. To them that was a fantasy and thus when those rules and laws were in place they never thought to exclude white people of European ancestry from using them.

What happens when they find out?

Imagine if you are a company says one of the largest drink manufacturers in the world or say one of the oldest universities in the nation with billions in endowments and one of your white employees having looked up the rules and laws concerning “hostile work environments” formally informs their manager in writing that the various workshops concerning purging whiteness creates such an environment for them?

What happens if said employee if rejected or laughed off by their superiors goes to a lawyer who notifies said company and / or university in writing of said complaint and also reminds them of additional penalties concerning retaliation against an employee who makes such a claim that might apply.

Now picture that potential suit multiplied by the largest single demographic in the nation and the potential paydays for the lawyers willing to bring those cases forward? The numbers are more staggering than Joe Biden’s 3 AM vote counts the night after the election and the risk adverse businesses and organizations

Suddenly the rewards of pushing these programs would be outweighed by the risks of a deluge of suits filed by Americans sick of being blamed for all the country’s problems while discovering the rewards of claiming victim status under the law.

And once the risks outweigh the rewards watch these people fold like wet blankets.
