The Left would LOVE President Trump on Social Media right now

Posted: February 11, 2021 by datechguy in Uncategorized

I was and still am a big fan of President Trump’s use of social media to bypass the media filter and communicate directly with the people. Furthermore as alternates to Twitter, and other social platforms develop I would encourage him to prepare for a big return to make the case for America actually trying to serve Americans…

…just not yet.

At the moment we have Biden voters in shock as promises are not kept, jobs are lost and prices increase while the Democrats with control of the house, senate and the White House sit behind barbed wire guarded by troops and do nothing.

Every day this goes on is a disaster for the left and the deep state that serves it, meanwhile court cases unfavorable to this administration (including cases concerning the steal of the election) continue to move forward ready to bite them even worse.

If the Democrats had someone capable of communicating they might be able to distract the public from these failures but I suspect Joe Biden likely has only a few cogent hours a day and these have to be guarded as jealously as possible.

Right now they need a distraction, impeachment isn’t working because nobody’s paying attention to it, what they really want, really need is Trump.

Their combined hatred of the president was the only thing uniting them so they will do all they can to bait him into changing the subject from Joe Biden and his administrations failures which given that he’s been in office less than a month are quite impressive.

I suspect there will be a moment when the people will cry for relief and when none comes it will boil over to the point where the already draconian censorship brigade becomes oppressive enough for people to demand change.

Now I suspect President Trump is smart enough to pick the right moment to return to the stage to highlight the failures of the left in contrast to his successes, and when that moment comes it will be glorious and devastating to the left in general and the Democrats and Biden Administration in particular, but until that right moment comes simply enjoying life and watching them squirm as he does so (perhaps throwing a feint or two to keep them wondering what he’s up to) will frustrate these idiots to no end.

They’ll figure out quickly that they would have been better off not stealing the election & dealing with a lame duck Trump vs a threat in being.

Serving the Niche NFL and Impeachment edition

Posted: February 10, 2021 by datechguy in Uncategorized

Despite what had to the marque matchup in history and a country full of people forced to stay home the Superbowl has managed to see their lowest ratings in fifteen years (back in the days when Tom Brady had only 3 superbowl rings but I digress…). Amusingly front office sports comes up with many excuses but none of them seem to cover the whole “get woke go broke” business.

Despite this the league decided to go full woke both in their presentation, their guests and even in the commercials, all seemingly with the intent to chase away those with the wrong belief set.

Now in the NFL is a huge industry and the drop in revenue while likely to hit the salary cap is not enough to make most of the players feel it but it would seem odd that they would make a presentation to encouraged those who dropped them to stay away.

But in a way it makes perfect sense. Once you figure out that you are unlikely to win back the portion of your customer base that you offended and further that the section that remains is offended by any thought of welcoming them back it’s quite logical to program for that remaining section of the market in the hopes that they stay.

In other words the NFL which once imagined their product over a global market is now in transition to a niche market and once that happens you will find that the niche will shrink further and further as the demands of said niche become more strident.

The same dynamic is taking place in the Senate this week.

The President’s attorney says all of this is a hoax, but that’s really the wrong word for it, it’s actually “marketing”.

Most if not all of the members of the Senators and the House know that the charges in this impeachment is a sham, that there is a distinct lack of evidence for said charges (which is why the vote was rushed because the more time passes the more it becomes clear that what happened was preplanned and quite a few of the left’s allies were involved in said planning.) and that the chance of conviction is slightly higher than looking out your window to see a Mastodon walking down your city street.

So why go through this theater? Well it’s quite simple. The violent activist left is now the primary niche market that media, academic, entertainment, and the Democrat party serve and that violent left must be appeased.

These are people who would if they could take President Trump and every one of his supporters and put them on the cart to be executed in the public square while they look on and cheer. Their lack of actual numbers combined with a heavily armed populace makes this unlikely, thus the next best thing has to be done.

They must be given a sense that the Democrats are doing something, that they are defanging the dangerous Trump and his followers. As long as Democrat pols are seen doing this they are appeased. They created, tolerated and used this monster and now with power in their hands need to keep it tame so they don’t face their claws.

Put simply his trial is about feeding Democrats niche market of fanatical leftist Robespierres because they know that it’s only keeping them fed by targeting us that’s keeps them off the cart

Boomers are in trouble

Amid the carnage of economic shutdowns during the pandemic, baby boomers have suffered more than any other age group, according to MarketWatch.com.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, nearly 900,000 Americans between the ages of 60 and 69 lost their jobs between December 2019 and December 2020, a 5 percent decline in the number of employed people in that age group. Some 21.2 million Americans in their 60s are no longer in the labor force, the BLS reported.

MarketWatch interviewed several people in their 60s, with long records of professional success who were “trying to find purpose or, at least, some income to help pay the bills. None of them ran a hedge fund or cashed out in an IPO. None attended Ivy League colleges but went to state universities or technical schools and lived solid middle-class lives as loyal, productive employees, raising families on high five- to low six-figure incomes.”

All had been laid off with no explanation. Those interviewed had sent out dozens of resumes but got few job interviews and even fewer offers. All firmly believed they faced systemic age discrimination.

Curtis Berndt, 65, told MarketWatch that he thinks that people eliminated him because of his age, “You go in, they look at you, and they say ‘too old,’ and you’re done.”

Berndt began as a draftsman and then moved into product design. For more than 40 years, all in Indiana, he did advanced quality control and streamlined manufacturing processes to reduce defects and improve efficiency.

“Everything was good, and then all of a sudden — and I mean, really, all of a sudden–there was a huge financial issue, and they decided they were going to have to get rid of people,” he said. “I had just turned 65, and three days later, they didn’t need me anymore. It’s impossible to prove, but they assured me that my age had nothing to do with it.”

Berndt has applied for about 50 full-time job openings and gotten a handful of interviews.

“They say everything’s good until the face-to-face interview, and then it’s dead. From other people I’ve talked to in my age group, that’s pretty much the pattern,” he said.

When Karen Mater was a young geologist working on oil wells in southern Indiana, a male rig worker said to her one day, “I don’t think women belong in oil fields. What do you think?”

“I said, ‘Well, I’m the wrong person to answer, because here I am,’” she told MarketWatch.

But the strain on her young family of being away for two or three weeks at a time caused her to change careers. Using the computer knowledge she’d acquired as a geologist, she took a job at nearby Central Michigan University, where she had earned her master’s degree.

Twenty-three years later, in August, the university let her and others go.

“They decided they had to really slim down, and for whatever reason, they picked my job to eliminate,” she said.

Since then, she’s applied to at least 45 jobs, but with no luck.

While Berndt and Mater said they should be all right financially, more than half of those 55 and older are expected to end their lives in poverty, MarketWatch reported, mainly as a result of the shutdown of the U.S. economy during the past year.

My generation is in trouble. I hope someone in the Biden White House is paying attention!

Reality Doesn’t Care Under the Fedora

Posted: February 9, 2021 by datechguy in Uncategorized

Today three weeks after his final day in office the Senate takes up a 2nd impeachment of Donald Trump despite questionable constitutional grounds.

The media continues to beat its collective breasts about Trump but the political theatre that is taking place doesn’t change the reality.

Donald Trump wasn’t impeached for a speech, he was impeached for the unpardonable crime of having had gotten so many votes that the left had to steal an election openly and refusing to simply take it without complaint.

That’s the reality of this impeachment and no amount of spin will change it.

Mike Lindell put out a documentary called Absolute Proof last week laying out a public case that Election 2020 was stolen. Youtube promptly had the video pulled as did at least one other video hosting service. Last week Twitter Banned him and his pillow company.

If this was just nonsense, these powerful people would easily counter it point at it and laugh at it instead on banning it left and right and let people make up their own minds.

I trust you to do that.

Reality isn’t dependent on Youtube or Twitter.

Speaking of Banning, Gateway Pundit found it self permanently banned from Twitter after producing video of tens of thosands of ballots being delivered to the TCF center with promises of more video on the way.

You can see that video here and here

As I’ve already said no amount of banning affects actual reality and in the end all they will do is chase their customer base away.

A lot of experts are blaming the Kansas City Offensive Line for their defeat by Tom Brady and the Bucks on Sunday. It should be noted that a lot of these same experts didn’t think those backup linemen were going to be enough to stop Patrick Mahomes who they were already calling the next GOAT and that having seen some parts of the game on youtube later that it’s likely that nobody but Mahomes could have stayed away from the rush long enough to have a shot at all.

Meanwhile leftists are saying it’s racist for Brady to beat Mahomes during black history month.

Reality however doesn’t care about what those analysits say or what those woke idiots say, it only cares about the final score Tampa Bay 31 KC 9

Just a reminder, talk is cheap, action is what counts.

The family of Mychael Johnson is “demanding answers” after he was killed in a shooting which followed a stolen car spree and an attempt to take an officer’s gun during an attempt to arrest him as he tried to carjack another vehicle after crashing his 1st one. The answer comes in this story:

Court records show Johnson has been arrested numerous times since 2007 on multiple drug related offenses involving marijuana and cocaine. In addition to facing charges for possession of a firearm by a felon and robbery, Johnson also twice was arrested for fleeing or attempting to elude officers.

Reality doesn’t care if Mr. Johnson’s family wants to pretend that he was just someone who “wasn’t perfect” the reality is that if you live the life of a criminal thug you tend to die like a criminal thug
