A group of people trying to fill the God sized hole in the psyche with anything they can find to give them purpose and meaning that the abandonment of faith produces.

Did you really expect the Minneapolis Police who have been demonized and demoralized to come out to stop the fireworks going on during the 4th of July?
Just think a million cameras rolling and everyone just waiting to destroy you if you put the slightest foot wrong when stopping it?
Those guys are going to keep their heads down and collect their pensions.
Did you really expect straight Christian Americans who have for the entire lifetime of the volunteer army been the primary source of recruits to sign up when the army is demonizing them and their beliefs while calling them White Supremacists?
Are you surprised they have to lower standards, dispense with the high school requirement and drop restrictions on tats to get the people they want?
What do you think the end game might be? I suspect it will be something that rhymes with a term for the back of a ship.
Is anyone surprised that the elites of the UN would put a paper on their site extoling the virtues of world hunger, pointing to hunger as something that makes workers “more productive”. Or that the author would be a professor, one of the elites who like the folks at the UN don’t worry about hunger.
It brings to mind an old episode of The Adventures of Robin Hood where a lord is flabbergasted that the peasants on the manor actually expected to sleep on beds, just like their betters.
Expect to see a lot more of the elites extol the bright side of want and shortages that they will be able to avoid.
Where you actually shocked that the Biden Administration and the left took the time to use the assassination of the former prime minister of Japan as a prop for their agenda?
Given that the left has been utilitarian in terms of everything from George Floyd to the takeover of Seattle regardless of the consequences can it be any wonder that Abe’s murder is just another tool to advance their agenda?
Ask yourself Is there anything you can think of that this administration and the people running it would not play political games with for fun and profit?
Finally ask yourself this: Given what you’ve seen from the left in terms of violent and harassment of their political opponents with little or no pushback from law enforcement why would you presume they will be any less violent the closer we get to election day?
Building solid products

I still enjoy going to the theater for a movie. My last in-theater movie was Dune, and while I have a good sound system at home, nothing can compare to giant theater speakers making your chair shake as a sandworm travels across the screen. Theaters have had to up their game compared to when I was a kid. Back in my day, you were lucky to get hot popcorn with something resembling butter and a seat that was cleaned a few hours ago. Now your seat is cushy, was reserved in advance (no rushing to the theater), and at my local theater you can order alcohol and dinner from your seat!
Movies are finally starting to up their game as well. We went through a drought of movies after Avengers: Endgame that just seemed didn’t inspire spending the money to go to a theater. On top of that, the movies went both woke and China-censored at the same time (which ironically often conflicted with itself). But times are changing, and Hollywood seems to be waking up to the realization that it should make solid movies and worry less about pleasing the Chinese or the woke mobs.
Apparently, its big enough that even CNN is recognizing it.
Look at the Top Gun sequel. Rather then make a movie about a sad Tom Cruise now working as the top DEI enforcement officer at the Pentagon, or cut out the Taiwanese flag on his iconic jacket, Hollywood decided to just make a solid movie. And it sold, bigly, now well over 1 billion dollars. Or look at Spider-man: No Way Home, another solid movie that just focused on being a movie. Or Dune, which took complicated source material and pieced it into an action-packed film.
My point is, if you make a solid movie, more often than not you’ll make money. That holds true across many other disciplines: make a solid product, and you’ll make a solid profit.

Don’t Believe a Word of The Left’s Critique of Biden
Posted: July 9, 2022 by datechguy in UncategorizedA quick FYI as I’ll be gone all day.
Over the next 12 months you will see the left and the media hitting Joe Biden hard, on his performance, on inflation and eventually on the corruption of his son and himself.
Don’t believe them.
Biden’s lack of competence, his corruption and the results of his policies were all known by them, the first two because he’s been one of them for decades, the final because his “policies” are their policies put in his mouth as sure as the teleprompter words that he repeats.
If they thought for one moment they could win with him they would continue to prop him up and ignore all that is done.
But as soon as they decide that he is a no longer useful idiot they will suddenly discover, to their shock, all of the evil he has done for decades and then give themselves awards for doing so.
You have been warned.
