This weekend Politico had a piece about some early Jockying among potential successors to the President for the GOP nomination in 2024.

It goes without saying that Vice President Pence will have the edge as the Vice President. Other logical candidates include Senator Ted Cruz (Assuming that President Trump doesn’t put him on the SCOTUS in his 2nd term) former Ambassador Nikki Haley, Senator Rick Scott, Senator Lindsey Graham. Perhaps we might even see a never Trump Favorite like Romney or maybe a technocrat like Charlie Baker try to jump in (if nothing else that would be amusing).

But no matter who is the eventual nominee no matter how wonky, how respectful, how proper, or anything else, I can guarantee you that the Media/Democrat/Left will define that person as WORSE THAN TRUMP!

It won’t matter if they never tweet, it won’t matter if they’ve been married once, loyal to their wife/husband. Regular church goers or with a history of good works and government experience behind them. The Democrats are going to define that person as the 2nd coming of Trump and thus the worst person in the world.

It’s going to be a lot of fun to try to turn the VP into Trump but I suspect it will be a lot more fun trying to see that played on someone else.

I know this is many years from now and there’s a lot to pay attention to but as it’s coming I thought I’d be the first to say it.

When I first learned how to drive a manual transmission car as a teenager, my dad made me go back and forth on the driveway. I’d put my car into first (grinding the hell out of the clutch), move it down the driveway, then stop, shift into reverse, and go back. Back and forth, hour upon hour until I had mastered the basics. Once I had that down, shifts into other gears were easy. I couldn’t be a good driver until I had mastered the basics.

Mastering the basics is why the world is struggling with the corona-virus. Everyone is talking about the corona-virus. Everyone. It’s tanking the stock market, ravaging cruise lines, and putting people into a panic. We now have governments bleaching streets to try and stop the spread.

Yet, all the things that we (as in the populace) need to actually do are pretty simple:

  • Get your flu shot
  • Wash your hands
  • Cough into your elbow
  • Keep your kitchen clean
  • Cook your food properly

(Yes, I realize the flu shot doesn’t cover the corona-virus. But if you’re sick with regular flu and then get the corona-virus, it has a higher chance of killing you.)

Despite all this, I guarantee I’ll see someone walk out of a restroom without washing their hands, sneeze without covering their mouth, and leave a kitchen messy for more than a day. I also bet that China won’t stop open food markets either.

We don’t have a corona virus outbreak problem. We have a culture problem, in that too many people aren’t doing the basic things right. If you can’t do basic hygiene, the best medicine in the world can’t help you.

I’ll Say this for Bernie Sanders, he has accomplished something that I haven’t seen since my childhood. He managed to get the both the American press and the Democrat party to come out strong against Socialism , Communism and even Fidel Castro. At least in public anyways.

It just goes to show you that for the sake of getting or retaining power for the Democrat party, the party and the press will go to any lengths, even denouncing evils they have embraced for decades.


Speaking of Power and elections Stacy McCain in his piece on the Democrats Bernie Sanders problem had one of the greatest lines concerning elections and conventional wisdom that I’ve ever read:

Democrats and their media allies handled Biden gently, with the presumption that he would be the eventual nominee. Biden’s main argument was his “electability,” and he continued to lead national polls up until the actual voting began when Mister Electability began to lose, and lose, and lose again.

emphasis mine

Always remember Conventional Wisdom is always correct, right up until the moment it’s not.


In England A member of the Labor party said on National Television that babies are born without sex:

But when presenter Richard Madely suggested that babies are assigned a biological gender at birth, Butler interjected with a bizarre remark.

“When a child is born, they are identified and observed in a particular sex aren’t they?” Madely asked. Butler responded: “A child is born without sex, a child is formed without sex in the beginning.”

What’s even more amazing is this was in the context of the Labor party leadership fight

two Labour Party candidates hoping to become the next party leader backed a trans group’s call to expel anyone in the party who questions their interpretation of transgender ideology.

The trans advocacy group’s 12-point pledge includes the proviso that members must “support the expulsion from the Labour Party of those who express bigoted, transphobic views.”

Point four of the pledge emphasizes this point, stating that pledgers must also “accept that trans women are women, trans men are men, and non-binary people are non-binary.”

I’m old enough to remember when they called Christians “science deniers”


Was at Happy Jacks on Monday and noticed that CNN was all over the stock market drop over the Coronavirus concerns. It was really odd watching them leave the numbers on screen as they went on.

It’s my opinion that they are cheering for the virus in the hopes that it hurts the economy enough to dampen the President’s talking points on the strong economy.

Remember it’s all about the power.


Finally by the time this goes up the 2nd Episode of DaTechGuy’s Midnight Court, my revived podcast will be up on Youtube. Tentatively the planed showtimes are 12:30 AM Monday and 12:30 AM Friday’s one to start the week and one to end it with a half hour of me talking the issues of the day, week or whatever. This morning’s is here.

You’ll not that there are no bells and whistles because I don’t do bells and whistles either what I have to say is worth your time or it isn’t, but when all my bills are paid I’ll consider investing in them, but for now It’s going to be the laptop camera. If you want to watch the live stream and leave a comment or two you are more than welcome.

The indoctrination of American youth is one of the most major calamities facing this nation.  For a very long time I’ve suspected that teacher unions are most responsible for the indoctrination.  It is an informed suspicion based on a lot of research and because I was forced to join a teacher union when taught part time at a community college. 

My suspicions were confirmed when I read the Life News article  Most teachers quite disturbed about their unions’ push for sexualization and indoctrination of school children,  The article chronicles a speech made by a teacher at a Heritage Foundation event.  Here are the opening paragraphs of the article:

Speaking in the nation’s capital, a 28-year veteran California teacher explained that most teachers are disturbed by the decades-long push to indoctrinate and oversexualize school children by teachers’ unions dedicated to far-left cultural and political causes and not the well-being of kids. 

“When you hear that teachers are behind comprehensive sexuality education or that teachers agree with the sexualization of children, that’s a huge deception,” said Rebecca Friedrichs.   

On the contrary, “America’s real teachers are deeply distrubed by the sexualization of our children,” said Friedrichs.  

“America’s real teachers have been silenced and bullied by the very organization that is pushing the sexualization of children: That is, labor unions,” she declared.  

As you can see, Fredrichs is clear that the teachers unions, not the teachers, are behind the indoctrination,

The unions attack the very virtues that most teachers cherish. They have used the teaching profession to gain unfettered access to America’s children

She further emphasizes this with the following story.

At National Education Association (NEA) events, “Teachers were wined and dined, and if you agreed to start a gay-straight alliance on your campus, you could get big money,” said Friedrichs. “You could also get money to push LGBT activism in the classroom. But can you get money to actually do something to help your students? No. Can you get support — as a union leader — for your colleagues? No.” 

Most of the business items at NEA conventions “are about far left politics, the LGBT agenda, and divisive narratives,” said the veteran educator. “Every divisive word you hear or see in our culture was first mentioned or made up inside the unions.”

At NEA representative assemblies, I have teacher friends who have been fighting against the oversexualization of our children for over 30 years,” recounted Friedrichs.    

“Here’s how they’ve been treated: They have been spit upon. They have been screamed at. Their path back to their seats have been blocked. They have been barred from serving on sex-ed and health committees.

The over sexualization of children is the most dangerous and despicable form of indoctrination being pushed on school children across this nation.  Most parents are not aware of this.  They would be shocked and disturbed if they were better informed.   Here is a list of graphic examples from the article”

“So teachers are bullied on every level, and we are horrified at the instruction we are being told to teach to your children,” declared Friedrichs.

She offered a few examples:

We’re told to teach children of their ‘sexual rights,’ that they should have sexual pleasure at all ages; 

That out of wedlock sex with anyone you want is just fine from any age, and hey, you shouldn’t think you’re not bisexual or homosexual.  Don’t knock it until you try it.”

We are told that the number one goal we are to teach children is to prevent pregnancy.  

We are told to teach children how to use condoms by bringing in fully erect penics models for them to manipulate. Ten and 11 year olds.  

All of this has to be done in mixed company because we are told to tell the children as young as four, ‘your parents didn’t know your gender when you were born, so they assigned you a gender. There is really a huge spectrum of genders. You will figure out your gender someday. That is child abuse. It is also the abuse of parents. It’s also religious abuse.  

We are told we have to tell children how and where to obtain birth control, including the morning-after pill and abortion without parental knowledge or permission from age 12. 

“The details are so inappropriate that I cannot even mention them to you today,” continued Freidrichs. “But they’re being said to our children in America’s schools. That is evil.” 

Parents need to speak out loudly and stop this madness.
