Me today at 6:22 AM EST via Twitter X or whatever you want to call it:

In case you can’t read the tweet:

PREDICTION: Sometime today

@realDonaldTrump will make a public statement about the Murder in #charlotte on video and the MSM will suddenly discover the story of Iryna Zarutska’s murder under the heading: “Republicans pounce” #unexpectedly of course #IrynaZarutska

Trump today:

Axos today via Instapundit:

AXIOS GOES INTO FULL REPUBLICANS POUNCE MODE TO TUT-TUT ZARUTSKA MURDER: Stabbing video fuels MAGA’s crime message.

MAGA influencers are drawing repeated attention to violent attacks to elevate the issue of urban crime — and accuse mainstream media of under-covering shocking cases.

  • Shocking video of the fatal Aug. 22 knife attack on 23-year-old Iryna Zarutska on a light-rail car in Charlotte, North Carolina, dominated weekend conversation on Trump-friendly social media.

The big picture: The rising number of surveillance cameras in public spaces, including on Charlotte’s light rail, has become a big accelerant in these cases.

  • The video is easily shared or leaked, and can instantly pollinate across social media — a visual counterpoint to statistics showing crime decreases.

Glenn opines:

“Since the number one rule for the legacy media is ‘thou shalt not support anything Trump does,’ naturally the Zarutska murder can’t be covered. And it won’t be, unless they can find — or manufacture — some alternative angle that will make Trump look bad. So far, they’ve come up a dry hole. So nothing.”

And that’s why Axios started off Monday by blaming the video of Zarutska’s murder, and Republicans’ response to it. It’s adjacent to their fellow leftists originally demanding omnipresent police body cams, and then being shocked that almost invariably, they show the police responding competently to violent crimes being committed:

In fairness this was easier to predict than the questions Joe Biden was getting at press conferences.

Five Fast Under the Fedora Thoughts Abnormal Speed as the New Standard, Not a Devil or an Angel, To Troll or To Troll Harder, I think Kennedy Dodged a Bullet and the most basic reality

There is one headwind that a lot of Trump fans don’t understand. The speed at which all of the things that Donald Trump has accomplished in not even nine months in office is completely abnormal.

That speed is akin to Tom Brady’s run with the Patriots. Brady made dominance of the opponent so much the norm that when he was gone New England fans consider the need to build a winning team against other worthy opponents practically an insult.

Trump is winning when he can and pushing forward to keep things going but even with a better team than last time expecting miracles every single day is self defeating. Keep things in perspective.

Another characteristic of the Trump years that I’ve found VERY annoying has been the two extremes. The “all Trump does is evil” extreme that the entire Democrat party has seemed to adopt and the “Trump is God personal representative on earth” extreme meaning we must always be in lockstep.

While the first is considerably worse to the point where people are actually defending crime and murder both are tiresome. I understand a fair amount of people make their living either by trashing trump or by worshiping him loudly but that’s not for me.

For me Trump is the best president of my lifetime and if his term ended today it would be a toss up if I would rank him ahead #2 or behind Lincoln as #3.

But in the end he is simply the president who will not be president in four years and the various grifters will find another way to grift once he’s gone.

There is one simple rule concerning Trump that when I mentioned it to DaWife had her laughing out loud.

Trump lives to troll his foes (I have a brother like this, he loves to wind up people especially those who are asses)

When given the choice between doing the right thing OR doing the right thing while Trolling his foes, Trump will ALWAYS choose the latter.

When doing a neutral thing Trump will ALWAYS troll his foes.

While a lot of this comes from how they treated him his foes have enabled this by hanging on his every word.

Trump has the advantage here because for decades many of those he trolled approached him on bended knee for cash or to be invited to parties etc, and only turned when he was a threat to their power. He knows them for what they are which is why he will always have the advantage.

On a similar vein Robert Kennedy is having a field day with his foes and there are many and he’s doing it in a very simple way.

He’s speaking the truth openly, and not caring what they say because like Trump, many of those who are attacking him were fans in the past when they thought they could use his wealth or name for their advantage.

So he confronts them directly, speaking plain truth to folks who have gotten rich off of lobbyist money and deals, he knows how the system works and answers with plain factual answers because he actually believes his job is not to protect the CDC but to protect the people it is supposed to serve.

He’s lucky the Democrats did not nominate him, they would have assassinated him by now if they had and elevated a deep state VP to power.

If you really want to understand why so many people are fighting so hard to preserve the deep state, or crime or to destroy Israel etc etc etc it really comes down to one thing.

There were an awful lot of people who made an awful lot of money out of all the grift that was and is going on.

Every single NGO, every single admin, every single “influence” who was and or is getting a piece of everything from China money, to Cartel money, to Qatar money to taxpayer money knows that clearing things up means they are of no use to the elites who are getting the lion’s share of this stuff when means that the days of wine and roses are gone.

This is why it’s smart to live modestly. Once you get used to the very high life it becomes difficult to go back to the norms of life, even norms that are fairly comfortable. Such people will do anything and clutch at anything to keep themselves at the current social level even if it means debt and disgrace or worse.

Hundreds of thousands have been stealing from hundreds of millions and those hundreds of thousands will fight for the right for their cut to the end because the alternative is to see themselves as they are not special, but a regular human being.

Cue Ray Liotta as Henry Hill:

Trump vs Biden and The Whole “Trump is Dead” Lunacy

Headline: World death rate Holding Steady at 100%

The Onion 1997

One of the oldest DaTechGuy sayings is that wishing for someone to be dead is one of the most effective wishes that a person might make because sooner or later said wish WILL in fact come true. The only question being: “Will you be alive to see it happen?”

The whole three day “Trump is dead” business reminds me a bit about the excellent four part comic book series: The death of Batman (Batman 291-294 1977) where after he hasn’t been seen for several days someone starts a rumor that Batman is dead and a trial is held in the underworld to see which claimant taking credit for it is guilty (I include a link to the four stories if you wish to read them).

That this actually took off is really a commentary on the Donald Trump 2nd terms vs the Joe Biden presidency.

During the Joe Biden years Biden was constantly on vacation. Actions were taken to minimize his interaction with the public and the press and even pre-arranged questions and answer were arranged to manage the moments when they did “question” the president.

All during this time the press kept insisting that Joe Biden is fine and anybody who thought otherwise was creating “deepflakes” and spreading “disinformation”. This campaign began during the 2020 campaign and continued right up until 9:05 PM or so on June 27 2024 when it became instantly clear to every viewer watching that Joe Biden could not function.

Go back to Instapundit on that day and watch some of the video, it was devastating.

The point? Nobody in media questioned Joe Biden health or fitness until the moment it was not possible to sell the lie anymore.

Now let’s turn to Donald Trump.

From the day he was elected, NOT from the day he was sworn in Donald Trump has been in people’s faces. He has been action Action ACTION! Constantly talking to the press live, constantly pushing his agenda, it’s been nonstop action from the very first and it has not changed. Other than judicial nominations he has basically gotten a full four years worth of work done in about 7 months.

You can’t escape him, he’s been go Go GO! on everything and despite his advanced age has shown no sign of slowing down, (A lifetime of no booze or drugs can do that for a body). Every single day he’s been going forward, folks like me who as the saying goes: “We haven’t gotten tired of the winning”.

But the left has grown tired of all the losing and it’s been so endemic that they simply can’t handle it, it’s driven them mad to the point where it’s become an obsession. You can’t escape him, you can’t function, you can’t deal with the reality.

And then suddenly he’s gone for a few days.

Now for most normal people the idea of taking a few days off after working non-stop for a year (counting the election campaign) would be a no brainer. The question for us wouldn’t be why he would take some time to spend with a grandchild, but the question would be why he hadn’t done this before?

But for an already obsessed and broken left, three days without Trump in their faces, when they have lived and breathed Trump for most of the last decade was a source of confusion.

The thought that he might actually take a few days off never even slightly occurred to them, it HAD to be something nefarious, after all this is TRUMP! There HAD to be something wrong, there HAD to be a crisis, and from there it became: He must be dead!

They have reached such a point of derangement that they let themselves believe that Trump had died and began tweeting it out and even celebrating, which made the crash when this nonsense was revealed for what it was even worse for them (except for the few who might have died during those three days thinking that Trump was gone who died happy).

All of this is indicative of the deep mental illness and obsession that Trump has brought on to them.

My advice is the same I gave on twitter. Stop obsessing with Washington and a person you will likely never meet and get on with improving your actual life. If you treat Trump like any other president you’ll be happier and healthier. Trump is an old man, sooner or later he will die as all men do. Living your life for that moment is a waste of time and if you only live for that moment the disappointment you will find when it turns out Trump’s death doesn’t improve your life at all will be too much for you to bear.

Note: I don’t expect this advice to be taken even slightly.

Jesus Freedom the Song of the Saints (Sung to the Tune of Philadelphia Freedom) and how it came about.

This song has a weird origin.

As regular readers of this blog know I have a thing about parody songs, Over the years I’ve done Joe Biden (We don’t talk about Biden) on the attempts to kill Trump (You don’t kill Trump so easy) and his campaign (What has the Donald ever done for us? ) , on the election of 2020 (Joe Biden’s Magic Ballots) the MSM Trump song ( I’m the MSM I am ) and two original songs ( Suck it up ) and a replacement for Happy Birthday (Hooray you’re not dead!) and a few more that died in the great system crashes that I’m not inclined to spend a day on the wayback machine searching for or that I’ve forgotten.

As you might guess I think of all kinds of songs like that which never see past me singing them while I work.

What you might not guess, but should, is that like all Christians I have sins to deal with and try to get ahead of. When I accidently discovered the existence of St. Myron of Crete and read about him suddenly the words to a song based on the song Taken Care of Business, one of the catchiest tunes there is, popped into my head which became the post I put up on the feast of St. Myron of Crete. The refrain has been my goto move when I’m tempted to sin and so far has proved quite effective since it’s the type of song that tends to earwig you and a song that is a prayer that earwigs you keeps your mind on Christ.

As a rule that bad news to the enemy.

Well a few weeks ago I was at work and for the first time since I had thought of it (long before the post you saw) the St. Myron song refrain was not coming into my head at all. For some reason that was being replaced by the early Elton John Song Philadelphia Freedom which, while excellent, is not highly effective in combating sin. I perceived this as an attempt to distract me from what had been an effective prayer.

At that moment suddenly for no reason at all the thought of St. Augustine of Hippo instantly came to mind along and with Elton’s song in my head I quickly came up with the first verse to a song singing it on the fly as I worked. To my shock when I got to the refrain I found myself completely in tears (while still doing my work) as I said the words. It hits me, reflecting back on that day that the refrain is basically a declaration of faith and hope and love in Christ. As the day went on refrains for multiple saints came to my head. You will see them posted below in the song making it much longer than Elton’s actual song, but it hits me that you could literally had verse after verse of and saint after saint to this song without any loss of effectiveness. In fact anyone who has found Christ while in the darkness or has been led to Christ by Mary could likely come up with their own verse to describe their own life. You’ll note I altered the refrain for a pair of saints due to their particular situation and there is no reason why you couldn’t do the same

So I post the song as is today, I reserve the right to add verses over the years as they come to me. Feel free to grab and and make a verse about yourself if Christ or his mother or a particular saint who has aided you.

[Verse 1] St. Augustine
Augustine was a rollin’ stone, ya know
He’d go out all night
Be drinkin, and find a lady to squeeze him tight


His mother Monica used to pray to the Lord
For his bad ways to change
Augustine answered saying: ‘Make me chaste, but not today’

[Chorus]
He lived that scene till, Jesus offered him freedom
From before he was born, He loved him all that time
Jesus offed freedom from all the sins before him
Gave him peace of mind his life never had

[Post-Chorus]
Jesus offered him freedom, shined on him, he loved him
Shined his light and his sins were soon left behind
Shined his light, He shined his light
He saw the light and he joined the fight!
Jesus he gave him freedom, He loved him
And you too

[Turnaround]

[Verse 2] St Dismas
Dismas was a man who choose to thieve (lived a life of crime)
Operated there within city lines (he choose the city)
He robbed people right in their home
(in the family home)
Broke in late at night (real easy)
‘Til Romans caught him, passed sentence
Sent to be crucified

[Chorus]
But on the cross there he encountered sweet Jesus
He confessed his sins and for his mercy cried
Jesus gave him freedom from all his earthly worries
Said “Today you will be with me in paradise”

[Post-Chorus]
Jesus he gave him freedom, shined on him, He loved him
Shined his light, even as there as he suffered beside
Shined his light, he shined his light
He saw the light, and he joined the fight!
Jesus he gave him freedom, He loved him
And you too

[Turnaround]

[Verse 3] St. Mary Magdalene
Mary Magdalene was in a bad place.
She had been possessed
Abandoned, shunned by all the rest


Seven demons came made her their host
They dwelt inside, proclaiming:
“You’re ours until you die”

[Chorus]
She had no hope, then Jesus gave her her freedom
He called her name and declared “you are mine”
Jesus gave her freedom and the demons fled before him
Gave her peace of mind the darkness never had

[Post-Chorus]
Jesus gave to her freedom, shined on her, she loved him
Saw his light and she stayed by his cross as he died
Shined his light, He shined his light
So she was first of all to see him rise
Jesus gave to her freedom, He loved her
And you too

[Turnaround]

[Verse 4] St. Andrew Worthers
Andrew Worthers was a worthless priest
He abused his vows
Drank heavy and he slept around (had many kids out of wedlock)


He was suspended then the Sea Beggers came
They captured his town
Their leader sized all the priests around.

[Chorus]
He was to die but then they offered him freedom.
“We’ll spare your life, just deny St. Peter’s crown.”
Jesus gave him strength to remember his true vocation.
With the rope around his neck he turned them down.

[Post-Chorus]
Jesus gave him his freedom, shined on him, he loved him
Shined his light, even though his sins were so bright
Shined his light, He shined his light
He saw the light and choose eternal life!
Jesus he gave him freedom, He loved him
And you too

[Turnaround]

[Post-Chorus]
Jesus offers you freedom, shine on thee, He loves ya
Shines his light, and his mother will help in your plight (the demons fear her ooh)
Shine his light, he’ll shine the light
Shine his light, won’t you see the light?
Jesus will give you freedom, He loves you
Don’t you know his love, yeah?
Don’t you know he loves you?

[Outro]
Yes, he do! (Jesus grant me your freedom) I love you
(Yes, I do! Jesus grant me your freedom) You know that I love you
(Yes, I do! Jesus grant me your freedom) Don’t you know that I love you?
(Yes, I do! Jesus grant me your freedom) Don’t you know that I love you?
(Yes, I do! Jesus grant me your freedom) Don’t you know that I love you?
(Yes, I do! Jesus grant me your freedom) Don’t you know that I love you?
(Yes, I do…)
