Five Riotous Thoughts Under the Fedora

Posted: May 31, 2020 by datechguy in Uncategorized

If you had to pick the most significant bit of news concerning the riots over the last few days I’d pick the fact that this tweet

Was followed by this one:

Anyone who presumes these officials will not try to spin this to protect their voter base is a fool.

I found this bit of news significant as well:

Because these people who have destroyed business and jobs deserve the money much more than owners of small business’ who lost everything.

I have an odd suspicion that none of their homes or business are threatened by riots and that the people who protect them are armed. FYI, When I told DaWife she wanted the list so productions including them could be avoided in the future. It will be interesting to see how sponsors of their shows will be treated as well.

I’ll bet real money that on TV shows and in movies over the next few years the armed protesters, condemned by the MSM & CNN who protested the lockdowns will be portrayed as violent villains in TV shows all over the networks and streaming services by Hollywood scriptwriters of film and TV.

Alas while that will be a more popular choice for the Hollywood left than portraying this week’s rioters as criminals in drama it will be a more expensive one too because while you only have to turn on a TV to find extensive footing of riots, arson and pillage from these “protests” that the media support you can search high and low on the internet and you won’t find any footage of the reopen protesters doing any of this.

Unexpectedly of course.

This would seem to be a bad visual for a union leadership:

While I suspect the rank and file might have different ideas I think the cities & taxpayers in question should keep that news in mind next time these unions look for a raise.

Finally I have a relative who lives in the Minneapolis St. Paul Area who I’ve known since he was born. He is a big lib and despises Donald Trump. I sent him a DM inquiring about the well being of him , his kids etc. He and all of his are safe but…

the plaza we shop at by our house (Target, CVS, etc) all looted, burned down, destroyed etc.)

Side note. With the bullshit coverage of the riot by the MSM and the non action of MN leadership during the RIOTS I’ll wait in line for hours in a mask and vote for Trump in November.

I don’t think this is having the political result the left/media think it is going to have

What Do Places Where Riots and Looting take place have in common?

The Answer, they invariably take place in cities & areas where the leadership has a dim view of the 2nd amendment.

I have a sneaking suspension that neighborhoods and towns where citizens are well armed are not going to see the riots we have seen in some cities, and I further predict that business owners who are in front of their shops holding a shotgun will find their shops largely intact and protesters limiting their activist to actual protesting and marching.

https://datechguyblog.com/2020/05/27/the-late-steven-den-beste-on-trump-accidentally/Cue Den Beste:

By Jacksonian lights, no rule of law works without the threat of force, and if the threat of force is removed then lawbreakers will come out of the woodwork.

Local communities that are well armed and make it clear that those commuting violence are taking their lives in their hand will remain safe, communities that signal looting and rioting will be tolerated will get more of it.

It’s that simple.

Closing thought: I submit and suggest that the left has been hoping and praying for something like this for a long time and their real desire is to have some useful idiot get killed while threatening an armed citizen so they can use said idiot as a martyr. To the left, who will do all they can to get this outcome , this would be a feature not a bug because they believe it to be to their advantage politically and to some degree financially.

I predict this will continue until they conclude that it will cost them more votes than it will gain.

Trump Fighting General Sherman’s War

John Henry Thomas: We’ll give them a taste of General Sherman’s War

Confederate Col James Langdon: I remember

The Undefeated 1969

About a year before his more famous march through Georgia, William Tecumseh Sherman led a two pronged attack on Mississippi, namely on Meridian, and while the Cavalry prong was broken off by Nathan Bedford Forest against 2-1 odds Sherman’s main force hit the town and the country side around it in a devastating fashion causing millions of (1863) dollars of damage and laying waste to the area as a preview what would happen during his famous March Though Georgia (and South Carolina) in the coming years.

After his withdrawal from Meridian he put out a paper with the intention of having it widely circulated to as he put it “prepare the South for my coming”. It said in part:

If they want eternal war, well and good; we accept the issue, and will dispossess them and put our friends in their place. If they think different, let them persist in war three years longer, and then they will not be consulted. Three years ago by a little reflection and patience they could have had a hundred years of peace and prosperity, but they preferred war; very well. All the powers of earth cannot restore them their slaves, any more than their dead grandfathers. Next year their lands will be taken, for in war we can take them, and rightfully, too, and in another year they may beg in vain for their lives. A people who will persevere in war beyond a certain limit ought to know the consequences. Many, many peoples with less pertinacity have been wiped out of national existence

And that in a slightly round about way brings us to Donald Trump and Joe Scarborough. A topic that I must confess I’m surprised to still be writing about a full week after this could and should have died.

I’ve already explained both why I presume there is no “there” there in this case and why President Trump saw advantage in the move. In fact Twitter’s caving into the Democrat mob on “fact check” might already have produced advantage, namely an excuse to remove their protection from suits, treating them as a publisher rather than a platform, but the more I see the reaction out there the more I think I missed the real point of this.

Gandalf: Saurman you were deep in the enemy’s counsel. Tell us what you know.

Lord of the Rings, The Return of the King Extended Version 2003

As a businessman who had to do business in deep blue cities and deal with deep blue pols, as a celebrity involved in the TV and movie business, as a person who ran casinos and as a much sought after source of funds for political campaigns, Donald Trump, like Saurman was deep in the enemy counsel. For almost half a century he was feted by these types. I suspect he has heard every single bit of gossip and rumor than all these types offered up after a few rounds (while he remained sober) and like the businessman he is squirreled that away for future reference.

TV Exec 1: What’s he writing?

TV Exec 2: “Duck? Did anyone do anything with a Duck?“

EdTV 1999

Furthermore we’ve already explained that Donald Trump is a Jacksonian who has no compunction about giving back exactly what he has gotten. Treat him nice, he’ll treat you nice. Say a good word about him, he’ll say a good word about you. Try to destroy him, and he will retaliate.

President Trump would have likely let this go if Mika and company had not gone after Twitter over it. And he has plenty of other balls in the air that he is giving his time to. But now that Mitt and others are trying to hit him over it. I think it’s likely that he might give this story one more hit to make the point clear to the next celebrity, newsman, pol who he has known for decades who tries to cross him.

Gillom Rogers: Mr. Books, How is it you’ve killed so many men? My spread wasn’t much bigger than yours.

John Bernard Books: First of all,friend, there’s no one up there shooting back at you. Second, I found most men aren’t willing, they bat an eye, or draw a breath before they shoot. I won’t.

The Shootist 1976

If he is willing to go this far with Scarborough he is certainly willing to do so with you. The left has suggested that they will retaliate against and and all who are Trump allies. Trump has now made it clear that no amount of pressure will prevent him from giving the Scarborough treatment to any person who comes after him the same way if he so chooses, and he has a long memory for events.

I’d swear his ancestry was Sicilian
