I’m old enough to remember when Democrats would be worried about Having Devil Worshipers Throwing Satanic Curses at an Ill POTUS Openly on their side

We are really faced with a cruel dilemma. When the humans disbelieve in our existence we lose all he pleasing results of direct terrorism and we make no magicians. On the other hand, when they believe in us, we cannot make them materialists and sceptics. At least, not yet. I have great hopes that we shall learn in due time how to emotionalise and mythologise their science to such an extent that what is, in effect, belief in us, (though not under that name) will creep in while the human mind remains closed to belief in the Enemy. The “Life Force”, the worship of sex, and some aspects of Psychoanalysis, may here prove useful. If once we can produce our perfect work-the Materialist Magician, the man, not using, but veritably worshipping, what he vaguely calls “Forces” while denying the existence of “spirits”-then the end of the war will be in sight. 

CS Lewis The Screwtape Letters #7

You know it would be a lot easier to talk all those people who absolutely insist that you can’t be a Christian in general or a Catholic in particular and be for Trump if you didn’t have a bunch of devil worshipers openly trying to hex him.

Some users, however, took things well beyond the sarcastic remark or celebration of the diagnosis, directing foreign language curses and images of Satan toward the president in his sickness.

and frankly that’s the mild stuff.

Others broke the template, forwarding similar comments and curses in a variety of other languages publicly asking for the “Lord Satan” to empower them to “vanquish the enemies of our freedom and well-being!”

“This curse carries the power of a thousand witches you will never find peace or happiness you will be cursed for centuries,” one user wrote, attaching images that appeared to be of a voodoo puppet doll burning. “The ancestors of each witch will follow you until the end of time old man.”

Now remember this is being done openly on a public platform for all the world to see.

Frankly anyone who is surprised by this hasn’t been paying attention. I submit and suggest this has been the left for a very long time.

Closing thoughts. These best counter to this stuff is of course prayer. There will be a public Rosary at my parish that I’ll be a part of next Saturday at noon and on the 24th we will be having a special mass Saturday at noon to pray for the country ending with a Eucharistic Procession I would suggest the same for your local parish.

But more importantly all of these people need to be prayed for. It’s very likely that many of them have nobody to pray for them and we must not forget that the love of God for them still exists and Christ died for their sins as much as anyone else. Thanks to these events we know who these people are and can give their guardian angels a welcome boost through prayer.

The best way to beat the devil is to deprive him of souls. Pray for these people and help deprive him of theirs.

Face to Face Dynasty League Update and Openings Plus two upcoming and one in progress online league

Our Dynasty Face to face league finished our SF Giants team won the world series in six and we are preparing the groundwork for a new season.

There will be a meeting at Zeda’s Pizza in Fitchburg MA today at noon any interested players are more than welcome.

Our draft will be November 14th again at Zedas. Depending on how many players we have there may be an expansion draft before the basic one. We will be playing with the 2019 season cards.

NOTE IF YOU WISH TO JOIN AS AN EXPANSION TEAM YOU NEED TO JOIN AND LET ME KNOW BY OCT 31st.

Additionally there are three online leagues that are either now or will be looking for players that I’m running.

Our 2nd season of the all pathetic league (all teams that lost at least 96 games) is now 12 games into a 162 game season, we play once a week (scheduled time Thursday 10 AM EST but you can reschedule at will) and there are currently 12 of 24 teams open. If you think you can take a bad team and make it the best of the bad we’d love to have you.

Our all time great league 2nd season is currently in playoffs in the league divisional round. By the rules of the league all playoff teams are retained for the next season and players who wish to keep their current teams may do so. But there are always openings and new teams that will be included. If you would like to manage a great team, either a playoff team that has been abandoned or a great team that is added in you are welcome to jump in. We will be reducing this league to once a week to make room for our third online league…

This will be the all mediocre league. This will consist of teams that finished with a record between two games under .500 & two games over .500 (in a 162 game season 80-82 – 82-80 in a 154 game season 73-75 – 75-73. Unlike the all pathetic league you will find a few starts on such teams and maybe more than an handful of HOF players in said league. Unlike the great teams league these are teams that were usually on the rise that hadn’t made it yet or good teams on the decline (or the teams like Connie Mack’s favorite the 4th place moneymakers)

It is more profitable for me to have a team that is in contention for most of the season but finishes about fourth. A team like that will draw well enough during the first part of the season to show a profit for the year, and you don’t have to give the players raises when they don’t win.

Connie Mack

This type of team would win about 60 games vs the all time greats (last season I demonstrated this when I accidentally put such a team the 2013 Diamondbacks in the ATG league instead of the 2001 team that I intended) and would dominate the all pathetic league. It will be interesting to see what they teams that are good enough to dominate bad teams and just good enough to put up a fight against great ones will do against each other.

These are the available teams by franchise

  • Orioles 57, 95, 15
  • Senators 67 Rangers 06
  • twins 73, 74
  • Yankees 71, 73
  • whitesox 74, 97, 98 .02
  • indians 75, 04, 08, 11, 15
  • Redsox 93
  • mariners 93
  • Brewers 96, 05, 09, 14
  • Angels 2000, 10, 17, 18
  • bluejays 2001, 05, 11, 15
  • tigers 2010
  • a’s 2010
  • Royals 2016, 17
  • Devil Rays 2017
  • Phillies 57, 74, 02, 12, 18, 19
  • Pirates 67, 73
  • braves 71
  • astros 73, 74, 96, 06
  • mets 75, 01,
  • Cardinals 75
  • giants 75
  • Padres 82, 05
  • dodgers 93, 94, 07, 10
  • cubs 95
  • Marlins 96, 10
  • reds 96, 06
  • Rockies 2000
  • diamondbacks 2008, 12, 13, 18
  • Nationals 2011, 18

If one of these teams is to your liking contact me online. this will be a 162 game season 3 game a series played once a week.

So if you want to play some sports where there is still no political grandstanding going on I’d love to have you, either in person or online. Either stop by at Zedas or leave a comment here and we’ll go from there.

Define Your Terms

Posted: October 3, 2020 by datechguy in Uncategorized

During the presidential debate on Tuesday, moderator Chris Wallace asked President Trump to “condemn white supremacy.” Trump wasn’t precise enough in his answer for the Democrats and media, and so story after story went on about Trump’s supposed refusal to “condemn white supremacy.”

Wallace’s question exemplifies the Left’s trick of changing the meaning of language to suit their preferred outcomes and ideology.

If you look at a typical dictionary definition of the phrase, “white supremacy, you get:

“The belief that white people constitute a superior race and should therefore dominate society, typically to the exclusion or detriment of other racial and ethnic groups, in particular black or Jewish people.”

I suspect if you ask the average American, this is their concept of “white suprem

Poor fools.

For the Left, such a definition is just the beginning. Sure, you include such a concept, but then you expand and broaden the definition until it lets you justify whatever action you wish.

So, the Anti-Defamation League adds that white supremacy includes the “belief that white people have their own ‘culture’ that is superior to other cultures.”

Do white people not have their own culture?  To the extent any subgroup of people with something in common have a culture, it seems odd to exclude white people. There is no doubt Europe, at least, was predominantly made up of white people until rather recently. Were white societies so inclusive, they could not be called “white?” Or are they so inclusive now, they aren’t “white?”

But the real twists come with what the academic Left considers “white supremacy.”

The academic Left is beholden to Critical Race Theory, which, as UCLA law professor Cheryl Harris explained in the Nation, focuses “on the way that race is baked into the current political, economic, and social system so that racial subordination is reproduced through normal operations.” So, according to Critical Race Theory, the normal operations of society – presumably here, American society – is racist, because it results in racial subordination. There is no human agency here, simply the “system.”

University of Tennessee College of Law Professor Emeritus Frances Ansley, as quoted by Critical Race Theorist David Gillborn, states that white supremacy is, “a political, economic and cultural system in which whites overwhelmingly control power and material resources, conscious and unconscious ideas of white superiority and entitlement are widespread, and relations of white dominance and non-white subordination are daily reenacted across a broad array of institutions and social settings.”

So now, white supremacy can mean the KKK stringing up “strange fruit” on “Southern trees,” but it also can mean, you know, the entire American society. All the same thing.

And then, after twisting the meaning of the term, the Left then goes ahead and changes the dictionary definition, just to cover its tracks.

So what exactly do you mean, Mr. Wallace? Are you asking Trump to condemn all of American society?

If so, I can understand Trump’s seeming hesitance to do so.
