New YouTube, same as the old YouTube

As of Yesterday Youtube has supposedly reversed it’s position on commentary on the 2020 elections that they disagree with. Accordingly I attempted to log back into my youtube account and when I failed I sent them this email via their system:

I understand that you have now changed your policies on election commentary due to the curbs it made on free speech. As you banned me based three commentaries I made on election 2020 (all of which had under 100 views each) coincidently just as I was about to reach 1000 subscribers, I am asking if my over a decades worth of work including thousands of hours of interviews and reports, covering not only elections local state and national all over the nation but events from CPAC to Pinball festivals to quilt shops to religious gatherings will now be restored.

Let’s see if you actually meant these words:

“In the current environment, we find that while removing this content does curb some misinformation, it could also have the unintended effect of curtailing political speech without meaningfully reducing the risk of violence or other real-world harm.”

I pass the ball to you.

Their answer took less than 30 minutes:

Hi DaTechGuyBlog,
We have reviewed your appeal for the following:
Channel: DaTechGuyBlog
We reviewed your channel carefully, and have confirmed that it violates our Community Guidelines. We know this is probably disappointing news, but it’s our job to make sure that YouTube is a safe place for all.


In other words it’s BS.

I didn’t find it a surprise, dishonorable and dishonest people don’t suddenly start acting honorable and honest just because they put up a new stated policy. It’s a tad of a pain and it’s cost me some potential revenue at a time when things are tight but I can be proud that I didn’t compromise the right or the truth in the hope for a few dollars or some views. I got along fine long before Youtube ever existed and Rumble will do fine for me. I’ll give the last word to the English Poet Charles Mackay:

You have no enemies, you say?
Alas! my friend, the boast is poor;
He who has mingled in the fray
Of duty, that the brave endure,
Must have made foes! If you have none,
Small is the work that you have done,
You’ve hit no traitor on the hip,
You’ve dashed no cup from perjured lip,
You’ve never turned the wrong to right,
You’ve been a coward in the fight.

It’s No Coincidence that the Capital Police Stopped this Children’s Choir at this Point in the National Anthem

Check out the video here and take note of the moment the Capital Police stopped the performance:

Never forget that as a nation we did this to ourselves

One tiny Christian college is fighting the good fight against  Biden’s transgender insanity

The political left are a rather tyrannical lot.  Their primary function in life is to force everyone else to follow their warped and twisted world view. Their preferred mode of operation is to infect all levels of government with their ideology, then use government force to coerce everyone else to follow their madness. 

Transgenderism is the most perfect example of this.  Progressives have been using government coercion to try and ensure everyone in the United States plays along with this mass psychosis.

It is bad enough when progressives cram this ideology down the throats of ordinary Americans.  It is absolutely unconscionable when they force religious institutions to comply because that would be a very direct violation of the Free Exercise of Religion Clause of the First Amendment.

This headline made me nauseous when is first read it.  It also made be happy because this small college was fighting back: Tiny Christian College Goes on Offensive as Biden Tries Forcing Female Students to Share Dorm Rooms – Even Showers – with Men (westernjournal.com)

In one of his first official acts in the Oval Office, Biden signed an executive order that redefined the terms “sex,” “sexual orientation” and “gender identity.”

Three weeks later, Biden’s Department of Housing and Urban Development issued new rules requiring schools to open their women’s dormitories — showers and all — to men who “identify” as women.

No exemptions were allowed, even for religious institutions.

The colleges justification for fighting back was right on point.

The Christian college, located in Point Lookout, Missouri, filed a lawsuit against Biden and his administration, arguing that the historical interpretation of the Fair Housing Act confirms that “sex” means biological sex.

The college also argued that not only does the Biden executive order violate the school’s constitutional right to “operate consistently with their religious beliefs,” but also that there should have been a public notice and comment period before such a drastic change was made.

This next quote proves just how far from the original meaning of the Constitution the entire federal court system has shifted.

In September, a three-judge panel from the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals dismissed the case and denied a petition for the matter to be heard by the full court.

College of the Ozarks and its law firm, Alliance Defending Freedom, responded in February by asking the U.S. Supreme Court to review the case.

This next paragraph fills me with hope.

Recognizing the high stakes involved in the case, a number of other Christian colleges have submitted friend-of-the-court briefs supporting the suit brought by the College of the Ozarks. Nineteen states and numerous advocacy groups have done likewise.
