Tim Waltz and DaTechGuy’s 6th Law of Media Outrage

Posted: December 4, 2025 by datechguy in politics

It’s been a while since I’ve written about DaTechGuy’s Laws of Media Outrage so let me give you a refresher before we start:

DaTechGuy’s 1st law of media outrage:

The level of Outrage or interest of the media and their allies on the left concerning any insult or prevarication concerning a person or thing will routinely be equal to the inverse of the degree of the political distance between said media / leftists and the target of said insult or prevarication at the time it is made

A great example of this came in the Virginia elections when wanting your opponents and their kids dead was a thing.

DaTechGuy’s 2nd Law of Media Outrage:

The level of acceptance of the positions and/or actions of any group or organization by the left and media is directly proportional to their current or potential value in electing liberal Democrats.

Think the entire “”Illegal Orders” nonsense which they are using as an attack on the Sec of Defense.

DaTechGuy’s 3rd Law of media outrage:

The MSM’s elevation and continued classification of any story as Nationally Newsworthy rather than only of local interest is in direct correlation to said story’s current ability to affirm any current Democrat/Liberal/Media meme/talking point, particularly on the subject of race or sexuality.

Crime in any blue city is the poster child for this. None of it is considered nationally newsworthy unless the proper race combination is involved.

DaTechGuy’s 4th Law of Media Outrage:

The degree of media exposure of the corruption or illegality committed by any individual or organization under investigation is directly proportional to its distance from the media’s ideology.

This one COULD be applied to the story of Somali fraud but I think the better example of this law is This little ditty about how Doge is still slashing fraud and waste:

DaTechGuy’s 5th Law of Media Outrage:

Any positive actions, even one that supposedly advances a goal, or done by a group allied or identified with the radical left, will not be considered newsworthy nationally, if said action has the potential to highlight a failure and/or inaction by a Democrat administration that is in power at the time of said positive action

The poster child for this law was the move by radical feminists to evacuate girls from Afghanistan who were in danger from the Taliban. I wrote about this at the time and commended their action to save the lives of women who were the potential victims of actual repression and murder, however the media did not find the story particularly newsworthy as you could not celebrate these actions without highlighting the Biden Administrations Afghan debacle and of course they play even less well with the murders of by Afghani Jihadis in the US

and finally the law that is in play right now:

DaTechGuy’s 6th Law of Media Outrage:

The degree of protection by or attack of the media on any person is governed by the degree of danger and/or usefulness to the Democrat party’s electoral goals said protection or attack represents

My poster child for this in the past was the Hunter Biden story but it is now the Tim Waltz Story.

consider this tweet:

What people are missing is not that the NYT was “scooped” on the Tim Waltz story. It’s that as long as Tim Waltz was considered an asset to the Democrat party winning elections and getting Democrats elected nationally his failures in office and any corruption he was involved in was either:

  • Not Newsworthy

or

  • A Local story

But now that Waltz’s usefulness to the party’s electoral plans is gone the story can be told because his involvement in this scandal and the public acknowledgement of this via the next and the President not to mention the sheer volume of the fraud makes it impossible to hide.

Plus even if Waltz is replaced or even forced to resign there are plenty of just as left Democrats ready to replace him in that state who don’t have the baggage but have the same views (Think the current gov of NY after Cuomo went away).

Thus suddenly the Minnesota Corruption story is newsworthy for the times and it can help remove an impediment to Democrats power and their narrative.

A perfect application of DaTechGuy’s Laws of media outrage.

The #Unexpectedly Chronicles: Epstein Goal Posts to Move in 3…2…

Well Ten Years after the MSNBC crowed stated on live TV that it would be bad news for the Clintons if Donald Trump brought up Jeffrey Epstein during election 2016 (the video for those who have forgotten)

the Epstein files (at least those not being blocked by three Democrat Judges) will now all be out there.

And while we’ve seen Larry Summers “retire from public life” & Congresswomen Stacy Plasket somehow dodge a censure vote with every democrat in the house voting that exchanging texts with Jeffrey Epstein while questioning a witness during a hearing is no big deal. We’re not going to be seeing anything that implicates Donald Trump for the simple reason that if there WAS anything like that in these files the Biden administration and the Democrats would have put it out there during the four years that no Democrat had any interest in them.

But we HAVE seen a few signs of what is to come: like this

And now that the various connections to Democrats will be out there we’ll see a lot less of this:

No comment on this:

Till finally we’re left with this there’s nothing in the files but we just KNOW Trump is a pedophile:

as Byron York put it:

“In their world, the absence of evidence is simply more evidence of Trump’s guilt.”

To those with TDS the details may change but the narrative always remains the same.

2025: The Hal Chase Election

“First we must cross the river,” Benito was saying.  “Do you believe me now when I tell you that you must not attempt to swim it, or even get wet from it, or must you try that too?”

“What happens if I just dive in?”

“Then you will be as you were in the bottle.  Aware and unable to move.  but it will be very cold, and very uncomfortable, and you will be there for all eternity knowing that you put yourself there.”

Larry Niven & Jerry Pournelle Inferno 1976

Looking at the results of last nights elections in VA & NJ and particularly NYC two truths are apparent.

The first was expressed at Instapundit last night from Stacy Campfield a former state rep from Tennessee:

“Republicans can’t be surprised that they aren’t winning races in places that they are also leaving in droves.”

Before I list the 2nd and more important quote you need some background:

The quote comes from the SABR site, a baseball analytics group which reprinted a piece about first baseman Hal Chase by Jacob Pomrenke about Hal Chase, a first baseman who played from 1905 to 1919.

Chase was universally considered the best defensive first baseman anyone to that time had ever seen. Both Babe Ruth and Walter Johnson named him the best first baseman of all time.

But Chase was also known from the very start of his career as a man who fixed games. For years in every city where he played allegations had been out there that he threw games or arranged them to be thrown. Allegations that he loudly denied. Then in 1916 he joined the Cincinnati Reds managed by Christy Matterson the great pitcher considered one of the gentleman of baseball. A man so honest that umpires would consult him on close calls. Matterson suspended Chase for trying to bribe players to fix games, as Pomrenke noted:

The suspension by Mathewson was the first time any baseball official had seriously punished Chase for his transgressions. As usual, it didn’t stick. NL president John Heydler reluctantly exonerated Chase after Mathewson joined the military and could not testify against Chase while serving overseas.

Chase would go on to have a part in the fixing of the 1919 World Series. When He heard about this Mathewson said the quote I find relevant to this election:

 “Damn them, [baseball officials] deserve it. They whitewashed two players after I caught them with the goods.” 

The swearing was VERY out of character for Christy Mathewson but he was pissed.

And that brings us to the night after the 2025 elections in California, Virginia, New Jersey and New York:

In California I didn’t expect better after all this is the man the state keeps backing:

In New Jersey the Democrat running for Governor was involved in a scandal concerning her time at the Navel Academy. It didn’t matter, the state that Trump lost by only 5 points elected her by 13 points.

In Virginia not only did Abagail (duck and run) Springer win by double digits but the man made famous for wanting GOP kids dead won by over six points.

But the real thing is New York City:

You have a open socialist, an open communist, an open antisemite. A person whose opinion on all these things have been well documents and are even available in his own words online for years. A rich kid who never did or ran anything in his life and he not only won the election in NYC but he took over 50% of the vote in a three way race.

What’s the bottom line? Just this: In all of these elections particularly in NYC people in their respective states KNEW who and what these people were and what they supported and STILL not only voted for them, but voted for them overwhelmingly winning margins, with apologies to Sarah Hoyt, well beyond the margin of fraud.

Now it’s very possible that this might hurt the Democrats nationally in states where people have not gone insane as Scott Jennings notes:

I think we’re at the point where we have to stop pretending that Democrat voters don’t understand what Communism is, or antisemitism is or violence is or corruption is. I think we have to stop pretending that they are being decieved.

This is what the Democrat/left is. This is what they believe in and what they support this is the government that they want and by golly they’re going to get the government they deserve.

The only question left in my mind is will they be surprised when they get it?

Are the Democrats REALLY that Stupid on EBT? (The GOP Ads Write Themselves)

Can’t anybody play this game?

Casey Stengel

As all of you know by now the GOP has offered not only a clean continuing resolution to fund the government but has offered individual bills to pay for the troops and for government workers, ALL of which Democrats have voted against keeping government closed.

Meanwhile the anger is building in EBT land:

I particularly love the lady who complains she can’t get lobster

Now Democrats are fueling this anger because they think that the potential for violence in blue cities is going to move the GOP to give in to their demands. An example:

I included the Date and Time in case they pull it but that’s not the point. The REAL point is how badly they’re setting themselves up.

If I’m the GOP this is what I do

  1. Pass a stand alone vote to fund EBT & the Troops in the house Make sure it’s a roll call vote.
  2. Bring up this bill once passed in the Senate, again MAKE SURE IT’S A ROLL CALL VOTE.
  3. Then watch what happens
    • If the Bill passes then the Dem plan is foiled and not only is EBT funded but the Troops are funded.
    • If the Democrats filibuster the bill and it fails immediate cuts ads like this:

President Trump and the GOP want to make sure that our Military and those dependent on food stamps get their payments on time and they brought up a bill to cover them.

But Senator <name of dem senator> voted no: (video of the roll call of the clerk calling Dem Senator’s name voting no.)

Donald Trump wants to make sure your kids are fed but Senator <dem senator> votes no. (video of roll call of Senator voting no)

Call Senator <Dem Senator> and tell him/her to vote the money to keep your kids from going hungry.

I would cut an ad like this for every Democrat senator and use some of that giant GOP cash advantage to start running them in every state where a Democrat Senator is up for re-election (and maybe a few that aren’t). The ads practically write themselves.

I don’t have access to an AI program to make an example ad but I’d bet a few people out there do.

So please Democrats keeps stalling because once Trump cuts those ads, it will be your offices in your home states that the mob storms.

That the Democrat’s have not thought of this amazes me.
