Five Riotous Thoughts Under the Fedora

Posted: May 31, 2020 by datechguy in Uncategorized

If you had to pick the most significant bit of news concerning the riots over the last few days I’d pick the fact that this tweet

Was followed by this one:

Anyone who presumes these officials will not try to spin this to protect their voter base is a fool.

I found this bit of news significant as well:

Because these people who have destroyed business and jobs deserve the money much more than owners of small business’ who lost everything.

I have an odd suspicion that none of their homes or business are threatened by riots and that the people who protect them are armed. FYI, When I told DaWife she wanted the list so productions including them could be avoided in the future. It will be interesting to see how sponsors of their shows will be treated as well.

I’ll bet real money that on TV shows and in movies over the next few years the armed protesters, condemned by the MSM & CNN who protested the lockdowns will be portrayed as violent villains in TV shows all over the networks and streaming services by Hollywood scriptwriters of film and TV.

Alas while that will be a more popular choice for the Hollywood left than portraying this week’s rioters as criminals in drama it will be a more expensive one too because while you only have to turn on a TV to find extensive footing of riots, arson and pillage from these “protests” that the media support you can search high and low on the internet and you won’t find any footage of the reopen protesters doing any of this.

Unexpectedly of course.

This would seem to be a bad visual for a union leadership:

While I suspect the rank and file might have different ideas I think the cities & taxpayers in question should keep that news in mind next time these unions look for a raise.

Finally I have a relative who lives in the Minneapolis St. Paul Area who I’ve known since he was born. He is a big lib and despises Donald Trump. I sent him a DM inquiring about the well being of him , his kids etc. He and all of his are safe but…

the plaza we shop at by our house (Target, CVS, etc) all looted, burned down, destroyed etc.)

Side note. With the bullshit coverage of the riot by the MSM and the non action of MN leadership during the RIOTS I’ll wait in line for hours in a mask and vote for Trump in November.

I don’t think this is having the political result the left/media think it is going to have

Blind obedience to the government has never been an American virtue

Every time I see large groups of individuals gather to protest the draconian restrictions many governors have placed on their citizens I am happy.  I am also relieved to know that decades of progressive indoctrination has not squashed this in everyone, even though educators and the media have made great inroads.  Far too many have blindly accepted the trampling of their rights and far too many oppose the efforts of their liberty minded friends.  Of course the liberal media has done an excellent job vilifying those who demand a return to the good old days when freedom and liberty were the only normal we accepted.

I am extremely happy and relieved that the mass protests have not resulted in spikes in   virus cases.  It it did happen I know the media would have trumpeted that news loudly. 

When researching last week’s article I came across the perfect example of the type of liberal indoctrination that takes place.  This example was this definition of the rule of law I found on the Merriam Webster Dictionary “a situation in which the laws of a country are obeyed by everyone.”  When I saw the definition I was angered because it goes against so many important principles that are at the core of our great republic.  These principles have been core principles since the first sparks of the American Revolution began.

There is nothing more American than taking a stand against unjust laws.  That notion was at the very heart of the American Revolution.  Thomas Jefferson immortalized this principle when he wrote this in a letter to James Madison:

I hold it that a little rebellion now and then is a good thing, and as necessary in the political world as storms in the physical. Unsuccesful rebellions indeed generally establish the incroachments on the rights of the people which have produced them. An observation of this truth should render honest republican governors so mild in their punishment of rebellions, as not to discourage them too much. It is a medecine necessary for the sound health of government.

I want to make it clear that I am in no way advocating armed rebellion now or ever.  Nonviolent civil disobedience has always proved to be far more effective.  I am extremely grateful that we have the Second Amendment to protect our God-given natural right to bear arms which is our ultimate defense against a tyrannical government.

We must only accept laws that are just. If they are not we must speak out and protest.  Questioning unjust laws does not mean we do not value the rule of law, it means we properly understand it is a two way street. 

For the rule of law to apply the laws must also be passed by those who have the true authority to pass such laws.  Governors issuing stay at home orders and lockdowns most likely do not have the proper authority under the state constitutions therefore they are not valid laws.

The US Constitution is the supreme law of the land in the United States.  Laws that violate the Constitution are not valid therefore the rule of law does not apply.  We should protest unconstitutional laws more readily.

Many states, including Massachusetts, are way too slow with their reopening process even though the curve of the Coronavirus has trended downward and not just flattened. I am hoping the protests soon kick into high gear.

Ask Yourself about: Maps, Trump. Mitt, Morning Joe, Mueller and Joe Biden Under the Fedora

Posted: May 28, 2020 by datechguy in Uncategorized

Stacy McCain ran this map a few days ago at his site and again on twitter:

Ask yourself this question: If this map showed the virus hitting red states vs blue states would you expect to see it lead on every newscast every day?

I’m rather astounded that we’re still talking about this a week later and I understand how some do not like this tactic as it’s not one I would have used myself, but ask yourself this: If an intern had died in Trump office twenty years ago and he had been cleared at the time. would the left in general and Morning Joe in particular have used that against him, over the last three years?

As a brief corollary to the above. Ask yourself this: If the left had done this would there be any chance that Mitt Romney would defend the President?

As more info is declassified the more it’s plain that not only did Obamagate involve trying to fix and election and illegally investigate an opposition candidate, but the more it’s plain that the primary job of the Mueller probe was to keep this information from every seeing the light of day.

Essentially, this approach confirms the second-prong purpose of the Mueller investigation itself. First, use the special counsel in 2017, 2018 and into the beginning of 2019, as a shield (hide information); and secondly a weapon (threats) against any entity who would reveal the background intelligence that undercut the Trump-Russia collusion narrative.

Ask yourself this: If a republican administration had done this to a Democrat candidate would the press not treat it as the biggest political scandal in our nation’s history?

As Biden mixes up D-Day and Pearl Harbor we’ve actually reaching a point where if Joe Biden doesn’t make a gaffe during a press appearance it’s news (cue the Babylon Bee)

Ask yourself this: If the Democrats thought they had any prayer in November do you really think this is the guy they’d run?

Primary Site is Down (No Foreign $ like Universities)

Posted: May 26, 2020 by datechguy in Uncategorized

About 11:30 PM we started to get a bandwidth error on our primary wordpress site.

I’ll be posting here until the site is back up.

Quick note, if you caught my podcast Monday morning you might have noted that I argued that our enemies decided it was cheaper to buy people than weapons.  By an odd coincidence I noticed this piece today:

The Department of Education has discovered at least $6 billion in unreported donations to American universities from adversarial foreign nations, Townhall reported on Friday.

The DoE revealed its updates in a May 19 letter to Congress and a subsequent briefing to several ranking House Republicans who are conducting an investigation into the foreign funding of U.S. educational institutions.

The investigation was spurred by increasing reports of Chinese funding at U.S. educational institutions, including the prevalence of Confucius institutes on U.S. campuses. Confucius institutes are Chinese-government funded centers which ostensibly promote Chinese language and culture, but which U.S. agencies have warned spread propaganda for China’s government.

“Some [Institutions of Higher Education] leaders are starting to acknowledge the threat of foreign academic espionage and have been working with federal law enforcement to address gaps in reporting and transparency,” the letter from the DoE’s Office of the General Counsel reads. “However, the evidence suggests massive investments of foreign money have bred dependency and distorted the decision-making, mission, and values of too many institutions.”

People have always been cheaper to buy then bombs, and they tend to stay bought.
