Another Reality Check in Gaza and Lebanon

Posted: September 23, 2024 by datechguy in Uncategorized

With all that’s going on in the north people have ignored Gaza but still insist there is “genocide” and “starvation” going on.

Alas reality tells a different story as a fellow goes into gaza and finds out just how much food you can buy for $10.

For some reason the system will not allow me to embed this tweet so I’ve got the link here

Apparently inflation isn’t as bad in Gaza as it is here.

Meanwhile we keep being told that Israel is attacking civilians, however…

I’m sure it’s just leftover from the 4th of July.

Five Fast Thoughts Under the Fedora Tigers Roaring, Beverly Hills = Detroit, Dem Narrative Fail, Minimum Wage Remains Zero

Posted: September 22, 2024 by datechguy in under the fedora

One of the reasons why I think that Baseball is the greatest game ever invented is that the unexpected is constantly happening and you can’t run out a clock to win.

A month ago the Detroit Tigers were pretty much out of the playoff race, now with only a dozen games left they go into today 1/2 game out of the final wild card and if the scores of their current game and the Redsox Twins game 1 holds they will hold the final wild card spot alone with six games to go, at least until game 2 of the Sox/Twins double header.

You could have made a fortune betting on the Tigers doing that. Of course hopefully we won’t find out that some mafia guy did make such a bet 40 days ago.

BTW as I was typing this the Orioles scored to tie their game with Detroit. Like I said baseball you never know in baseball.

The Tigers sudden winning ways are bad news for the Twins and perhaps bad news for the Orioles and Yanks as you never want to face a team that’s red hot, but it’s even worse news for the hapless Chicago White Sox.

As I noted a while back the pale hose need to get to 41 wins to avoid being the worst team in history since the formation of the American League. As of today they are 36-119 meaning they need to win 5 of their final seven games to avoid infamy.

A month ago they had one hope while today’s game vs the Padres was against a team in the thick of the playoff battle their final six games were against teams completely out of it.

Alas this is no longer the case. While the Angels remain as out of it as you can get their final three are against a Detroit team that will need every win they can get to pass the twins and hold off the Mariners.

Only the Twins and Mariners regret this situation as much.

I’m old enough to remember when Beverly Hills was a place that was pretty safe and Axel Foley of Detroit would be out of place there.

Apparently not anymore

I guess the Lego cops joke from the new movie wouldn’t work anymore.

Hey I guess the Hollywood Left is getting what they voted for.

You know the problem with left’s narratives is that when confronted with reality they don’t stand up.

A great example of this is shown in this exchange with Megyn Kelly on a panel talking about “convictions” in civil cases.

How many people hearing that first argument on a CNN or MSNBC without pushback bought it?

I suspect a few leftists at least.

Finally there are plenty of casualties in California’s war on business employees at Chipotle are now one more

Chipotle has introduced two robots that can take over tasks normally done by its workerThe ‘autocado’ can peel, stone and cut an avocado for guacamole in 26 seconds.

Meanwhile, a ‘digital makeline’ portions up salads and bowls based on orders on the app.

The machines are part of an automation drive that Chipotle bosses hope will cut down the number of workers needed – slashing rising labor costs. 

So, it is no surprise they are being put to use first in two of the Mexican chain’s restaurants in California, the company announced on Monday. 

Recent legislation raised the minimum wage for fast food workers to $20-an-hour in the state. 

And these changes won’t be limited to California once economy of scale brings the prices of these machines down.

You can’t repeal the laws of economics

…And Democrats in Favor of Dead Trumps

Yesterday I pointed out that those who are complaining about the Grim Beeper attack; that is targeted attack on Hezbollah members who have been hitting Israel with rockets for 11 months aren’t in favor of peace, they’re just pro terrorists.

Now yesterday Bill Maher accidently demonstrated that his friends on the left are in favor of Murdering Donald Trump to wit:

To Maher’s credit he scolds his audience but they still keep laughing at the prospect of Trump being murdered (To be fair the joke at the end was good, I’m of the belief that there is practically no subject that one can’t joke about).

I’ve said this once and I’ll say it again, if I was still a democrat I’d think twice about normalizing political assassination in a country that is both:

  1. Full of guns
  2. Where the best armed people in said country are your political foes

And if I’m the media I’m doubly not pushing this because the only people hated by the right more than democrat pols are the media, who are much easier targets.

Call me old fashioned but as a Catholic I not only state that murder is wrong but I submit and suggest the whole concept of life being sacred and Thou Shalt not Murder is rather useful for a society to have it it wants to function and I’d like my sons to live in a society that has this belief.

Hey if the left wants a post Christian society and so if they want to reject those principles that’s on them but while one can reject principles, one can’t reject reality and as scripture teaches he who sows the wind will reap the whirlwind.

That’s not a belief, that’s just fact.

Closing thought: I’m old enough to remember when the idea that you would complement someone for not approving of political murder would have not been necessary.

Paging Hezbollah: Not Anti-War Just in Favor of Dead Jews

Almost from the moment of the Oct 7th attack last year a wave of leftists both internationally and in the US started warning Israel against retaliating against the people who accomplished the greatest mass murder of Jews since the Nazi death camps.

When Israel went into Gaza they warned them against targeting “civilian” targets and despite Israel accomplishing the lowest ratio of civilian causalities in a war zone continually attacked them as committing “genocide” despite the fact that they could have leveled Gaza without risking troops if they had so chosen.

And when Hezbollah fired rockets into Israel unabated to the point where over 100,000 Israeli citizens had to be evacuated from their homes and months later still have not returned those same folks said Israel must not hit back due to the risk of civilian causalities.

So now Israel has pulled off the seemingly impossible. They have managed to target Hezbollah operatives with an attack so precise that short of being a passenger in a car driven by one of the exploding terrorists practically the only way to have collateral casualties would be for one of these terror guys to be having sex with you with his clothes on and his pager in his pocket.

And what is the reaction to the largest counter terror attack in history with the fewest amount of innocents harmed in the process in history by those people who supposedly abhor risks to innocents?

Condemnation down the line.

Let’s be blunt, these folks aren’t anti war, they’re just on the terrorists side and want dead Jews.

And in my opinion if they manage to achieve the extermination of the Jews they won’t stop there
