The Five Lessons of the Disney Story or How The Left Could Have Avoided all of this

Posted: April 23, 2022 by datechguy in Uncategorized

Oh, I am heartily tired of hearing about what Lee is going to do. Some of you always seem to think he is suddenly going to turn a double somersault, and land in our rear and on both of our flanks at the same time. Go back to your command, and try to think what are we going to do ourselves, instead of what Lee is going to do.

General US Grant Battle of the Wilderness 1864

You have done this deed in secret, but I will bring it about in the presence of all Israel, and with the sun looking down.

2 Samuel 12:12

Several things have come to mind with the fall of Disney, the Fall of Netflix and the upcoming fall of Twitter.

The first of course if how empires tend to fall, slowly then all at once.

The 2nd is how much of a difference fighting back means. The left was positive that nobody would resist them. The LGBTQ+ lobby were so powerful that even a company as powerful as Disney backed down, but once DeSantis stood up to them suddenly Disney, a company that employees over 30 lobbyists in Florida was unable to stop their privileges’ from being revoked and the further tanking of their stock

The 3rd is how thin and weak the left’s power actually is

Don’t think it’s not a coincidence that Exxon Mobil is rethinking the flying of the LGBTQ+ and BLM flags in front of their headquarters once people see that the cost letting a tiny minority intimidate you is higher then paying the Danegeld, the Danegeld will no longer be paid.

After all why do you think Kaepernick is begging for a chance at a football paycheck these days, the woke money is all gone.

The 4th is how contagious courage is: Once GOP pols see that this plays well with the voters, Particularly Latino voters who the left all assumed were radical activists, you’ll see these laws repeated and more Democrats howling off camera because they never were taught how to deal with defeat or negotiate with someone who disagrees with them.

But the biggest lesson of all of this is for the Deep state types and the activist types was is this:

None of this happens if they had made deals with Trump.

Note I didn’t say: “None of this happens if they don’t steal election 2020” I said none of this happens if they make deals with Trump.

Let’s go back to 2016. My biggest fear concerning Donald Trump was that he was a dealmaker. He was all about having specific goals for America and getting them done and right from the start he was willing to make deals with the Democrat left to get these things done.

This was no surprise, after all he had built hotels in blue cities and blue states and had been making deals with these guys all his life. He knew who and what they were and didn’t care. Their petty power trips, their perverted proclivities and their hereditary hubris where meaningless to him, except perhaps as something to note for future reference.

He wanted to get things done and as long as they helped him to do or stayed out of his way as far as he was concerned what they were doing wasn’t his business.

If Pelosi and Schumer and the rest of the left had played ball with Trump early they would have been in clover. He would have given them and their social agenda support to get his programs through. Not only would they have shared credit but all their nasty shit would have stayed under the radar. Time would have taken care of the Trump years and the deep state and all within it would have continued on unseen and unopposed except by a few of us.

I was very afraid they would figure this out, that they did not is one of the most unrecognized consequential moments in the history of America in the 21st century.

None of this happens without that failure, as a backup they could have chosen to not steal the last election then they would have had to endure only four more years of Trump and things would have been back to normal.

Now with the public reverses they have suffered they will find that having sewn the wind they will reap the whirllwind.

The Lord sure moves in mysterious ways.

Elon Musk’s attempt to buy Twitter has demonstrated just how much the political left abhors free speech

For the past week I’ve been watching the drama unfold online, stirred up by Elon Musk and his attempt to purchase Twitter.  The drama has been entertaining and repulsive, watching progressives melt down over the fear that Elon Musk will bring free speech to Twitter.

This editorial, Opinion | Let’s hope Elon Musk doesn’t win his bid for Twitter – The Washington Post, is one of the more nauseating, although subtle, examples.

Mr. Musk has promised to make Twitter a “platform for free speech around the globe.” This vision is more or less the same one now-departed CEO Jack Dorsey championed throughout his tenure, and especially in the platform’s early days. But like its industry peers, Twitter has moved over time toward stricter rules. That isn’t because executives have changed their views, but rather because they have learned some lessons after observing how their products can be abused to manipulate elections, or spread health misinformation, or harass people en masse.

Certainly, moderators sometimes make mistakes, and more transparency surrounding enforcement decisions is in order. But a broader backtracking would be an error. To protect speech at all costs and keep Twitter free of bots and spam, as Mr. Musk has said he would like to do, is almost impossible.

This quote is right out of Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals.  The Marxist Oligarchs who control social media, and the vast majority of news organizations, are the individuals who manipulated the 2020 election so successfully it was stolen from President Trump..  Also they are the real cluprits guilty of spreading nonstop health misinformation, while censoring the actual truth.

The left has often channeled George Orwell and his Newspeak.   No better example is this Tweet.

The Left Wing Oligarchs have almost held a total monopoly over online political speech.   It has all been part of a master plan.  The author of this article, Media Is Hating On Musk’s Twitter Bid Because They Hate Free Thought (thefederalist.com), does a fantastic job outlining the grand scheme.

Right now, the corporate media and Big Tech are on a thought control team running interference for the left. The outlets set the narrative with biased, misleading, and fluffy coverage of Democrats. The media constantly tells Americans that Donald Trump worked with the Russians to steal the 2016 election, Kavanaugh is a rapist, Republicans are racists and domestic terrorists, and the summer of rage riots were “mostly peaceful.”

The media expect you to believe all of those lies because they said it was so. If you question them, they smear you for spreading “misinformation.” Big Tech reinforces that deliberately faulty coverage by editorializing and spinning news for its “trending topic” section on the site.

For years, Silicon Valley giants have done the control regime’s bidding. When the left felt threatened by Trump, conversations about Covid-19 origins and treatments, election integrity, Hunter Biden’s laptop, or the truth about biological sex, Big Tech companies such as Twitter gladly banned, censored, and “fact-checked” any content it deemed “misinformation.”

The only thing that disrupts this cycle is when the uncensored, unmanipulated truth about the media’s depravity is exposed. As it stands right now, any narratives that contradict the thought control regime’s wishes are obliterated from the internet.

The mask has completely slipped off the political left thanks to Elon Musk’s battle to purchase Twitter.  As Michelle Malkin so famously said “sunlight is the best disinfectant.”

Five Libs of Tik Tok Thoughts Under the Fedora

Posted: April 21, 2022 by datechguy in Uncategorized

it’s generally a bad idea for a Newspaper to be caught in a straight out lie but the Washington Post managed to do so here:

https://twitter.com/libsoftiktok/status/1516534502213840897?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1516534502213840897%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fdonsurber.blogspot.com%2F2022%2F04%2Fhighlights-of-news_01812107177.html

On the plus side being owned by a billionaire means you can likely pay out any lawsuit something like that produces.

Again looking on the bright side of this for the Post from this story, a newspaper wants to make people think they are relevant and the post has certainly demonstrated that they can make a story or a subject visible.

The number of followers of the twitter account Libs of TikTok has as of this morning increased by more than 25% and counting and the videos made by the various liberals she is highlighting are getting a lot more views. None of this would have been possible without the efforts of the Washington Post so I guess this proves the relevance of the MSM to some degree still exists.

Another interesting point if the post wants to focus on the bright side of life is this. For the last week we have seen the Post and other liberal sites insist that the purchase of Twitter by Billionaire Elon Musk is a dangerous thing as it will promote standards that are contrary to the good of the country.

The Post story on the Libs of TikTok account and the attempt to intimidate and put in danger the Orthodox Jewish lady who runs it is a perfect demonstration of the dangers they are trying to illustrate: Don’t let Twitter get bought by a billionaire or they’ll become assholes without standards, just like us.

Not the method I’d use to make the point but hey it’s his paper.

What really struck me about the whole thing is that what the Libs of TikTok basically did was tweet out videos that leftists had willingly and deliberately put out on a public social media forum and exposed it to a larger audience.

Nothing get the left more upset than people seeing them as they are, and apparently as they are is pretty nasty. Remember this is why Stacy McCain was banned from twitter years ago for the crime of directly quoting liberals and letting people who might not have seen what they’ve said see it.

It’s all: Look at me, look at me and then: How dare you look at me!

Of course the funniest thing are the cries that this is an attack on the LGBTQ community and the implication that this is reinforcing negative stereotypes.

Shouldn’t they be angry at the people in the videos who made the videos and put them up on the net to be seen? Aren’t they by showing themselves as they are the culprits here?

What’s really making them angry is how it removes the plausible deniability from the various school districts, school boards and leftist pols who can’t pretend that these people in the videos are not the groomers people say they are.

Even better will be the number of people who pick up this standard

Cool Cal

By Christopher Harper

As the 100th anniversary nears of his ascendency to the presidency, Calvin Coolidge is becoming cool.

Coolidge became the 30th president when Warren Harding died in 1923 and held the post until 1929, when he decided not to run. He promoted a mixture of lowering taxes, cutting the federal budget, removing the federal deficit after World War I, promoting racial harmony, and embracing America’s small-town heritage.

Coolidge is finally getting his due as a good president in a 2013 biography by Amity Shlaes and a more recent series of essays and a book about conservatives from Matthew Continetti, a fellow at the American Enterprise Institute.

Shlaes, a former journalist who heads the Calvin Coolidge Presidential Foundation in his hometown of Plymouth, Vermont, carefully dispels many of the myths about Coolidge in her book.

Both Shlaes and Continetti want to give “Cool” Cal his due. “Cool” Cal seems a lot better than the liberals’ description of Coolidge as “Silent” Cal. 

Moreover, the misconstrued moniker fails to acknowledge Coolidge’s activities on the radio—long before FDR—and his fascination with modern technology, such as air travel. 

Although historians have placed Coolidge in the lower half of presidential accomplishments, Shlaes argues that that’s mainly because he was a conservative.

Her recalibration of Coolidge’s accomplishments argues that he’s worthy of a much higher place in presidential rankings.

Coolidge carefully steered the country through the disastrous aftermath of Woodrow Wilson’s calamitous post-World War I antics and illness and the scandals left by Warren Harding.

Continetti pushes Coolidge’s reputation into the upheavals of the 21st century, comparing Cal and Donald Trump.

“Both Coolidge and Mr. Trump staked their presidencies on voter satisfaction with broadly shared prosperity. Both supported restricting immigration into the United States. Both wanted to protect American industry from foreign competition. Both sought to avoid overseas entanglements,” Continetti wrote recently in The Wall Street Journal. “Trump’s views now dominate the Republican Party. For anyone who grew up with the GOP of Ronald Reagan, the two Bushes, and John McCain, this can be strange and bewildering. But in many respects, it’s a return to the principles of the 1920s of Coolidge.” 

Coolidge presided over a prosperous nation at peace. He preached America First—as did Trump. 

When I started my deep drive into presidential biographies about three months ago, I didn’t expect to find such an underrated president as Coolidge. 

I’d move him into my top tier of George Washington, James Monroe, Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses Grant, Grover Cleveland, and Harry Truman.
