Tom Brady’s Atlanta Comeback vs Joe Biden’s

Posted: December 16, 2020 by datechguy in Uncategorized

As I update this in the 3rd quarter with Atlanta leading by 25 so Roger Goodell is likely dancing in the streets but more importantly Lady Gaga decided her songs were liberal enough so she decided to shut up and sing meaning that the NFL was able to get sanctuary from the left meaning football fans won’t have to take sanctuary from the game.

Frankly if Brady & the pats were not playing I wouldn’t give a damn and if it wasn’t Brady on that field I’d consider this game over.

10 Thoughts Under my Fedora Sanctuary Cities, Sanctuary Clubs, Sanctuary Statehouses et/all Feb 6th 2017

A couple of days ago I had a debate on twitter concerning the odds of the Biden late night “comeback” he was rather fixated on the the size of the odds quoted.

So I thought a better way of illsutrating what went on in Atlanta & other places is to compare the impossible Biden comeback to the improbable comeback of Tom Brady and the New England Patriots vs the Atlanta Falcons in Superbowl 51.

With 8:31 to go in the 3rd Quarter the Atlanta Falcons led the Patriots 28-3 leaving the Patriots 23:31 seconds to score 25 points while holding Atlanta scoreless during that same period.

Then this happened:

Now in Georgia, along with Arizona, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan Joe Biden like Tom Brady was behind on election night to a point where most people would expect him to lose, but unexpectedly there was a sudden surge of votes in state after state that looked something like this:

and this

Now one might ask. Well DaTechguy, if Tom Brady can launch such a comeback why is it implausible or even impossible that Joe Biden did?

That’s a good question and there are three differences between the pair that answer it.

  1. Tom Brady made his comeback on live television with millions of viewers around the world watching it in progress. Joe Biden’s comeback took place outside the view of the public
  2. Tom Brady’s comeback was made in full view of his opponents who were on the field while it happened in front of them. Joe Biden’s comeback took place with republican poll watchers removed from view or prevented from seeing things happen.
  3. Tom Brady’s comeback was made with the referees watching the entire time and with his opponents seeing the referees watching. Joe Biden’s comeback took place without any supervision of the “referees” even to the point where officials have done their best to make sure such supervision and/or audits of said comeback took place.

Imagine for a second if with the score 28-3 Atlanta, the Television cameras were turned off, the fans were escorted out, reporters escorted out and only officials aliened with Bill Belichick allowed on the field.

Then 26 minutes later all were allowed back in, the cameras were turned on you suddenly saw the game in overtime with the pats with the ball 1st and goal on the Atlanta 2 yard line.

Would you believe what you saw, particularly if the Patriots fought tooth and nail to keep any film or evidence of what happened in the play by play hidden from the public?

If you believe in a Biden victory then that’s what you believe.

The AMA dumps “Do No Harm”

There are many depressing things about what is happening right now but of all of them one of the worst is this.

 The American Medical Association (AMA), in a surprising move, has officially rescinded a previous statement against the use of Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) in the treatment of COVID-19 patients, giving physicians the okay to return to utilizing the medication at their discretion.

Previously, the AMA had issued a statement in March that was highly critical of HCQ in regards to its use as a proposed treatment by some physicians in the early stages of COVID-19. In addition to discouraging doctors from ordering the medication in bulk for “off-label” use – HCQ is typically used to treat diseases such as malaria – they also claimed that there was no proof that it was effective in treating COVID, and that its use could be harmful in some instances.

Let’s be blunt, the AMA is not changing its recommendation on HCQ because of some new medical breakthrough, they are doing so because now that the election is over it doesn’t matter of President Trump recommended and talked up the drug.

Hey if thousands had to die or suffer to get the result they wanted, well apparently you can’t make an omelet without killing a few Americans.

Via Don Surber who put it well:

The devil owns the AMA now, as he owns so many other American institutions.

In fairness given the abandonment and editing of the Hippocratic Oath and the willingness of doctors to recommend drastic surgery to children who want to change their sex something like this can’t be all that surprising.

Merely depressing.

Welcome to your post Christian society, may our society be happy in its choices choices.

Michigan’s AG & Sec of State Act like Conspiracists #Unexpectedly of Course

I keep hearing from people that claims of voter fraud and magic ballots are simply conspiracy theories.

My answer to them remains the same:

I’ll believe that claims of Voter Fraud and Magic Ballots are conspiracy theories when the officials who claim that they are conspiracy theories stop acting like conspiracists.

For example Lin Wood and Sydney Powell have claimed and produced witnesses who claim that the Dominion voting systems were “fixed” in terms of turning Trump votes into Biden votes.

Now if you were an official, say an Attorney General or a Secretary of State, in a swing state, say Michigan, who claimed that the election was on the up and up and a forensic audit of such machines had taken place one would think you would be anxious to release the results to prove the claims of folks such as Sidney Powell and Lin Wood and those people making claims under oath was false.

Instead…

Michigan AG and Sec. of State Block Results of Forensic Audit of 22 Dominion Machines in Antrim County

Again I’ll believe that these things are conspiracy theories when these guys stop acting like conspirators.

Three Great Signs of a Healthy Parish: Sign 3 Confession Lines or Anytime

(Jesus) said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.” And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the holy Spirit. Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them, and whose sins you retain are retained.”

John 20-21-23

This week at mass the first two signs of a healthy parish were in evidence.

As people went up for communion there were some who approached with crossed arms receiving a blessing instead showing respect for the presence of Christ by publicly admitting that they were not properly disposed to receive as per the 1st sign of a healthy parish.

Furthermore not only large families were in evidence but during the responsorial psalm (which this week for Gaudete Sunday was the Mary’s prayer of praise the Magnificat ) the young child who had so loudly prayed the Our Father two weeks ago was praying this. Clearly his parents had taught him his prayers well. All of this is in line with the 2nd sign of a healthy parish.

But the 3rd sign of a healthy parish was also present as we left as the father of that boy held back to ask our priest if he had time to hear his confession.

I and others have often done the same both after a Sunday mass and in the gap between the two daily masses (offered at 7 AM & 8 AM Mon-Thurs). Invariably (although once in a while when there is a family waiting for a baptism the confession has been quick) our pastor has agreed which can be a handy thing because the only thing more reliable than his agreement is that if you turn up for confession at the usual time (3:15 or so on Saturday before the 4:15 mass) you will find a line.

This is very much in line with the sermon that was preached today where Father noted that all people need to be saved from their sins by God and the sacrifice of Christ. As he put it:

Go to a convent and the oldest and most devout nun you there will be in need of the saving power of God.

This is a basic tenant of Christianity. Remember John the Baptist who Christ himself said was greater than any man born of woman declared in Today’s Gospel that his “sandal strap I am not worthy to untie.“ and in Matthew’s Gospel declared to Jesus: “I need to be baptized by you, and yet you are coming to me?”

If such as John needed the Baptism of Christ for the forgiveness of his sins how much more you and me?

Furthermore a good priest who regularly hears your confession is in a good position to be a life coach steering you away from thing that are a danger to your soul.

I have known parishes where the priest will go the entire hour confessions are offered without a person coming or with maybe one or two regular penitents. This is always a sign of danger. Pride is the 1st of the deadly sins for a reason.

Find a parish with a line for confession and a priest always ready to hear one and you will find a parish that will be around for many years to come.
