Despite what had to the marque matchup in history and a country full of people forced to stay home the Superbowl has managed to see their lowest ratings in fifteen years (back in the days when Tom Brady had only 3 superbowl rings but I digress…). Amusingly front office sports comes up with many excuses but none of them seem to cover the whole “get woke go broke” business.

Despite this the league decided to go full woke both in their presentation, their guests and even in the commercials, all seemingly with the intent to chase away those with the wrong belief set.

Now in the NFL is a huge industry and the drop in revenue while likely to hit the salary cap is not enough to make most of the players feel it but it would seem odd that they would make a presentation to encouraged those who dropped them to stay away.

But in a way it makes perfect sense. Once you figure out that you are unlikely to win back the portion of your customer base that you offended and further that the section that remains is offended by any thought of welcoming them back it’s quite logical to program for that remaining section of the market in the hopes that they stay.

In other words the NFL which once imagined their product over a global market is now in transition to a niche market and once that happens you will find that the niche will shrink further and further as the demands of said niche become more strident.

The same dynamic is taking place in the Senate this week.

The President’s attorney says all of this is a hoax, but that’s really the wrong word for it, it’s actually “marketing”.

Most if not all of the members of the Senators and the House know that the charges in this impeachment is a sham, that there is a distinct lack of evidence for said charges (which is why the vote was rushed because the more time passes the more it becomes clear that what happened was preplanned and quite a few of the left’s allies were involved in said planning.) and that the chance of conviction is slightly higher than looking out your window to see a Mastodon walking down your city street.

So why go through this theater? Well it’s quite simple. The violent activist left is now the primary niche market that media, academic, entertainment, and the Democrat party serve and that violent left must be appeased.

These are people who would if they could take President Trump and every one of his supporters and put them on the cart to be executed in the public square while they look on and cheer. Their lack of actual numbers combined with a heavily armed populace makes this unlikely, thus the next best thing has to be done.

They must be given a sense that the Democrats are doing something, that they are defanging the dangerous Trump and his followers. As long as Democrat pols are seen doing this they are appeased. They created, tolerated and used this monster and now with power in their hands need to keep it tame so they don’t face their claws.

Put simply his trial is about feeding Democrats niche market of fanatical leftist Robespierres because they know that it’s only keeping them fed by targeting us that’s keeps them off the cart

Today three weeks after his final day in office the Senate takes up a 2nd impeachment of Donald Trump despite questionable constitutional grounds.

The media continues to beat its collective breasts about Trump but the political theatre that is taking place doesn’t change the reality.

Donald Trump wasn’t impeached for a speech, he was impeached for the unpardonable crime of having had gotten so many votes that the left had to steal an election openly and refusing to simply take it without complaint.

That’s the reality of this impeachment and no amount of spin will change it.

Mike Lindell put out a documentary called Absolute Proof last week laying out a public case that Election 2020 was stolen. Youtube promptly had the video pulled as did at least one other video hosting service. Last week Twitter Banned him and his pillow company.

If this was just nonsense, these powerful people would easily counter it point at it and laugh at it instead on banning it left and right and let people make up their own minds.

I trust you to do that.

Reality isn’t dependent on Youtube or Twitter.

Speaking of Banning, Gateway Pundit found it self permanently banned from Twitter after producing video of tens of thosands of ballots being delivered to the TCF center with promises of more video on the way.

You can see that video here and here

As I’ve already said no amount of banning affects actual reality and in the end all they will do is chase their customer base away.

A lot of experts are blaming the Kansas City Offensive Line for their defeat by Tom Brady and the Bucks on Sunday. It should be noted that a lot of these same experts didn’t think those backup linemen were going to be enough to stop Patrick Mahomes who they were already calling the next GOAT and that having seen some parts of the game on youtube later that it’s likely that nobody but Mahomes could have stayed away from the rush long enough to have a shot at all.

Meanwhile leftists are saying it’s racist for Brady to beat Mahomes during black history month.

Reality however doesn’t care about what those analysits say or what those woke idiots say, it only cares about the final score Tampa Bay 31 KC 9

Just a reminder, talk is cheap, action is what counts.

The family of Mychael Johnson is “demanding answers” after he was killed in a shooting which followed a stolen car spree and an attempt to take an officer’s gun during an attempt to arrest him as he tried to carjack another vehicle after crashing his 1st one. The answer comes in this story:

Court records show Johnson has been arrested numerous times since 2007 on multiple drug related offenses involving marijuana and cocaine. In addition to facing charges for possession of a firearm by a felon and robbery, Johnson also twice was arrested for fleeing or attempting to elude officers.

Reality doesn’t care if Mr. Johnson’s family wants to pretend that he was just someone who “wasn’t perfect” the reality is that if you live the life of a criminal thug you tend to die like a criminal thug

I’ve been reading Patrick Byrne’s account of How DJT Lost the White House. Of what I read so far Chapter 3 was both the most hopeful and depressing as it became clear that it was the goal of those close to Trump to get him out quickly and if that meant keeping solid evidence of fraud away from the American public that was fine with them.

As you read that piece you have the feeling that if they were just able to follow though to get past the gatekeepers that they managed to get past once before things might have been different.

However the vote of Lynne Cheney told me much.

Cheney has drawn a primary challenger and there can be no doubt that at least one Trump surrogate, perhaps even the President himself will show up to campaign against her in 2022. Nor is there any doubt that the swamp will do all they can to dilute the challenge, perhaps by financing multiple challengers or pushing one with either a dark secret or owned by the swamp but that really doesn’t matter.

What matters is the message and the message is this, that enough members of the GOP in congress were part of the Swamp that if on Jan 6th the vote came to the house with undeniable proof of the Democrats stealing the election two things would have been clear.

1. Wyoming would have gone for Biden because Lynne Cheney is the only house rep.
2. If the Democrats needed another state there would be enough swamp people willing to give them their votes for the rewards offered

That is the reason why it’s been imperative for people to chase God and belief out of both the schools and the public square. When a person considers the reality of death implications of eternity they are more able to resist the rewards of corruption even those which can make an entire family comfortable.

I have no doubt at all in my mind that if things went to the house there would be just enough GOP members of the house willing to provide the votes put Joe Biden where he is today.

It would have been a crushing thing to see and not having to see it is the only bright spot in the events that took place.

Today is Superbowl sunday and the day if full of irony

Under normal circumstance the NFL would be as proud & as happy as it could be. Not only has it alone among US major sports played a full season intact & largely on time during the COVID crisis, which is a solid accomplishment, but it is ending the season with the best possible matchup you can think of in terms of a draw featuring not only a great narrative but the greatest player of all time vs the best current QB in the league. Brady vs Mahomes, the Past vs the Future, the ageless wonder vs the young stud. The slow steady methodical tortoise vs the speedy, explosive and irrepressible hare. It’s the best matchup at QB since Montana vs Marino in Superbowl 19.

Instead it finds itself despite so many stuck at home with ratings down for the season, advertisers fleeing their signature event over the prospect of being associated with either side of the culture war (Cripes even Budweiser gave it a miss) , lower ad rates for the ones who stayed and the prospect of the salary cap for the teams dropping for next year.

Given the size of the NFL getting woke isn’t going to make them broke but has managed to stop it’s growth and will cost the league and it’s player much in terms of revenue for a long time to come.

As for the game itself the only reason I’m interested because I’m a big Tom Brady fan and have been for years. I suspect a lot of others who would normally skip the new woke NFL’s showcase game will watch because to them Brady is a surrogate for Donald Trump and in the new police state it’s the only safe way to cheer him with fear.

I must confess that while I would like #TomBrady to win the superbowl today given the two teams and the matchup this is as close to a “pickem” game as you get. I would not be shocked if either team won nor would I be surprised if these same two teams & QB’s meet for a rematch next year. Tis could become the NFL’s Bird vs Magic for the next three years.

I’m working so I can’t watch the game but if you’re in this position as well never fear. Given the Biden administration’s success in killing US jobs in just a few weeks I’ll not be surprised after a year of the Biden Administration’s war on the American worker I suddenly find myself free next year to watch the rematch along with millions of other Americans who will be no longer burdened with the responsibility of a job.

Unexpectedly of course
