Last week due to a bunch of family emergences we had to give the Podcast a miss.

This week I have a few complications in play as well which complicates things as well so here is the plan:

If I do NOT have a mandatory overtime shift Friday the Podcast will be at 10 PM EST, (might start as late a 10:30 depending on a commitment that could run late). Normally I’d do it at 11 AM but I have a commitment at that time.

If I DO have mandatory shift the Podcast will be Saturday at 10:30 AM EST as I have commitments in the early & afternoon and I don’t want to step on my radio show on WQPH 89.3 FM at Noon.

We’ll be talking :

  • Why it’s important not to give an inch on the election
  • The dangers of letting this go
  • What’s in it for some in the GOP who are playing along with the left.

As soon as I have a solid answer on Friday I’ll have a solid date and time but as last week’s podcast was cancelled suddenly without a lot of notice I thought I’d put this out there now.

See you Friday night or Saturday Morning.

Update: Friday is voluntary at work so I’ll see you at 10 PM.

Update 2: 24 hours later we’ve been told the overtime is now mandatory so the podcast will be Saturday at 10:30 AM

One Liners Under Other People’s Fedoras: Fisherville Mike, Pirates Cove, The Other McCain, Right Wing Granny, Ninety Miles from Tyranny

This wasn’t Jackie Robinson 2.0. It was Make A Wish.

Fisherville Mike quoting Jason Whitlock at outkick.com Ain’t That a Kick in the Head

I don’t see what anyone is celebrating proving what we already knew that a woman can’t kick a football anywhere near as good as a man.

This is really great. Multimillionaires who talk a big game but don’t actually do anything, well, other than drive fans away with their politics

William Teach on SI’s choice for Sportsman of the Year Sports Illustrated Names The Activist Athlete Sportsperson Of The Year

I’m old enough to remember when athletes and SI were interested in serving their customer base.

Anyone — even someone as profoundly stupid as Michael Moore — can find these facts with a quick Google search, so if the truth was easily available and yet Michael Moore is not telling the truth, is there a word for that?

Robert Stacy McCain on Michael Moore’s COVID claims Erstwhile #Resistance Spokesman Now Presumes to Lecture Republican Voters

Given the left’s willingness to uncritically accept whatever they are told I don’t think Moore is all that worried about being called out.

 If working people don’t begin to take back the freedom to work and to run businesses that the government has stolen, we will not survive as a country.

Right Wing Granny on California’s rules concerning what is safe to open Looking For The Science In This Decision

America’s willingness to tolerate this kind of tyranny has amazed me to no end.

Have you ever seen an Antifa thug get wrecked by an American pro-Trump flag?

Ninety Miles From Tyranny ‘We’re not gonna take this!’: Antifa goons find out quick they crashed the wrong anti-lockdown protest

If the election fraud stands expect a lot more of this and a lot more guns.

My Best Advice: Don’t Let Events Rule Your Life

One of the reasons why I needed a day off yesterday is that watching what is happening is rather stressful.

Any person who knows the history knows that republics tend to commit suicide due to the population becoming too comfortable and the state becoming too powerful to the point where it provides the bread rather than the people providing for themselves.

Knowing this and watching the rather blatant steal of the election going on while those with the power to stop it choose (for reasons we can only speculate about) inaction can be soul crushing.

So I have a suggestion.

If you aren’t actually involved, walk away for a bit.

  • If there is something you can directly do to affect the decisions in the key states involved by all means take the necessary action to do so.
  • If there is something that the people directly acting to stop this fraud ask of you, by all means do it. (This can be anything from retweeting a video to voting in the Georgia runoff).
  • If there is something indirect that you can do from attending a local rally to holding a sign at a protect by all means do so.
  • By all means pray whether you are a priest praying an exorcism or a lay person asking God for help in this endeavor.

But if you can’t do any of these things, walk away for a bit, remember that Christmas is upon us and take joy in the season. Live your life and do so with joy (this will depress the left to no end) and tune out the idiots trying to keep you obsessed.

Regardless of what happens life is going to go on. Help where you can but don’t allow any of these people to keep you from living it.

That’s the best advice I can give and I intend to take it as much as possible while of course still putting out my thoughts on the subject.

I’m Pulling a 4th Doctor Today

Posted: December 6, 2020 by datechguy in Uncategorized

1st Romana: Where are you going?

4th Doctor: Fishing.

1st Romana: Fishing? What’s fishing?

4th Doctor: Fishing? It’s an art, worthy of the knowledge and practice of a wise man. Isaak Walton

1st Romana: Look, we haven’t got time for you to practice anything. We’ve got to find the fourth segment.

4th Doctor: You find it. I’m taking the day off.

1st Romana: The day off?

4th Doctor: Yes. After a journey of four hundred years and twelve parsecs, I’m allowed a rest of fifty years.

1st Romana: Where does it say that?

4th Doctor:: Section ninety three, paragraph two, laws governing Time Lords. You look it up. Go on.

Doctor Who: The Android of Tara Part 1 1978

I need a blog day off. Can’t take a work day, no vacation time till next month and no floating holidays (burned on COVID stuff) so today, no posts other than this one from me.

I figure with 12 years of blogging (not counting the hiwired blog for work) on that time lord scale I’ve got one coming

Won’t be fishing though
