A lot to ask, A disgrace, Let’s go to the quote, A quick question, and the way of all things Under the Fedora

With God all things are possible but to ask him to get you to the Superbowl with a 4th string QB is a bit much

Apparently the Jury is deadlocked on the charge against Mark Houck who was charged a year after the fact of violating the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act when he confronted a clinc escort who was bothering his twelve year old son.

It’s disgraceful that this charge even made it to trial but I find it even more disgraceful that there are members of an American jury that voted guilty.

The weaponization of the federal government against Christians has only just begun. You have been warned

Last night on sports radio as I drove home there was a lot of buzz about people thinking the fix was in on those games yesterday.

Given the billions that are now bet on them I don’t find that suspicion surprising. Although I would think such a thing risks the entire business model and thus not be worth it but to those who would dismiss it out of hand let me give you a quote from the 1994 movie “Quiz Show” about the scandals there that perfectly illustrates the logical reason for suspicion:

Martin Rittenhome: Young man I sell over $14 million dollars a year worth of Geritol, Geritol, that’s the kind of businessman I am. That show twenty-one, cost me 3 1/2 million dollars year in and year out. Sales went up 50% when Van Doren was on. 50%! So the very idea that I was unaware of every detail or aspect of that show’s operation, well frankly it’s very insulting.

If the case incentive is high enough anything is possible

Last week I saw yet another story where “Transwoman” are stating that lesbian women who don’t draft Trans lesbians are bigots”

Now I don’t claim to be an expert on the “lesbian transwomen” dating scene but a question occurred to me: “How many of these so called “lesbian transwomen” are dating other “lesbian transwomen”?

Because if they’re not then apparently by their own argument they’re a bunch of bigots too.

I think that question should be asked of anyone who tries to play the bigot card. here.

Finally as you get older you get used to endings. Found out about two today. Pat Buchanan has apparently written his last column and Don Surber has apparently decided to drop his daily “Highlights of the News” in favor of his substack columns.

Everything eventually ends and as I’m closing in on 60 I’m wondering how much longer I’ll be writing daily.

Most likely I’ll keep up until it starts losing money hopefully that won’t be for a very long time if at all but we’ll see.

Mike Pence Lifeline is Biden not the Dems

Posted: January 27, 2023 by datechguy in Uncategorized

When the Joe Biden Classified documents scandal starting to gain legs I said this:

It may be that the reason this is coming out at all is that the deep state / Obama administration has decided they don’t want Biden in 2024 as the Democrat candidate so they intend to slowly leak stuff like this out until they can convince enough Democrats that he is no longer remains a viable candidate.

and this:

 The only thing Joe Biden is really skilled at besides collecting his 10% is going after his enemies so if you are the left and want Biden to go quietly into the sunset you need something like this to get it done.

It seemed that all the media was going out against him, that the word was out that it was open season on Biden and once January 20th had come and Harris was now eligible to be elected twice if he went, it was time to push him out.

Then came the Mike Pence story and suddenly the narrative shifted and the word was Pence had just given Biden a lifeline:

 Because of Pence’s stupidity, the narrative will shift to blaming the system in order to excuse Biden’s criminality. This was the lifeline the president needed.”

The author linked by Insty is quite right that this is a lifeline to Biden, but it’s not a lifeline for Democrats in 2024.

You see if they could push Biden out without a primary you could go with Newsom or Harris or anyone else and not only deflect the blame for all that has gone wrong in the last four years but it removes the potential rematch with two records side by side which might produce a result beyond the margin of theft.

But as I noted the one thing Joe Biden is good at is attacking and survival and Pence’s move while a lifeline to Biden also translates into an anchor around the neck of the Democrat party for 2024.

Closing thought, if you want to see a lifeline for Democrats here is the real one

Did Kamala Harris declare that life is not an Unalienable Right?

While actually celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Supreme Court’s most tragic decision, Roe versus Wade, Kamala Harris massacred the Declaration of Independence in a rather callous and portentous manner.  This article contains a transcript of her contemptible word salad.

We are here together because we collectively believe and know, America is a promise, America is a promise—it is a promise of freedom and liberty. Not for some, but for all. A promise that we made in the Declaration of Independence that we are each endowed with the right to liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Kamala Harris committed several egregious factual and philosophical errors with that one utterance, the most contemptible being her omission of life as one the Unalienable Rights listed in that passage of the Declaration of Independence.

Progressives, and the rest of their collectivist cousins, place little stock in the value of individual lives.  Their religious devotion to abortion is proof of this.  Abortion is the murder of the most innocent and helpless individuals. 

Leftists, such as American Progressives, have always treated certain classes of individuals as less than human.  These include Jews during the Holocaust, the slaves here in the United States, Ukrainians under the old Soviet Union in the 1930s, and the unborn.

Kamala Harris also neglected to inform us who endowed each and every individual with unalienable rights.  Leftists mistakenly believe that rights are granted by governments, because of this Democrats bestow ‘rights’ on their favored groups.  Because God directly endows each and every individual with their rights, it is a grave injustice when governments interfere with the rights of any individual.

The final mistake Kamala Harris made in her short statement occurred when she used the phrase “we collectively believe.”  She is gravely mistaken in the use of this language because Americans do not collectively do anything.  The United States was built upon individualism, not collectivism.

Is it time to shut down the FBI?

The FBI is one of the most ineffective police organizations in the world and should be put out of its misery.

Over the past 50 years, I had a variety of run-ins and interactions with the Feebs—none of which gave me some confidence about the bureau.

In 1971, the FBI brought me in for questioning. I had taken a photo of an old country bank for a college course, and I had the suspicious look of a college student.

In 1973, several dozen reporters, including me, walked through an FBI “lockdown” of Wounded Knee, South Dakota, where the American Indian Movement had set up a protest over U.S. government misdeeds toward Native Americans.

A few months later, I was reconstructing the events over the murder of Fred Hampton, a Black Panther who had been killed in Chicago by the FBI and local police.

As part of a counterintelligence program, known as COINTELPRO, the FBI had taken a keen interest in Hampton, a rising star in the Panther leadership. In the early morning of December 4, 1969, the FBI and the local cops shot and killed Hampton as he slept in an apartment. A later investigation found that only one shot had been fired from inside the apartment.

Fast forward to the Middle East. The FBI usually heads up the investigation when U.S. citizens and representatives die outside the country under suspicious circumstances.

In 1978, I was one of a handful of reporters who flew into the compound of Jim Jones and his followers, where more than 900 people had died. Surprisingly, only two local soldiers guarded the farming community, and it took days before the FBI secured the site.

The FBI also bungled investigations of the U.S. embassy attack in Beirut and the later bombing of the Marine compound in which 241 military personnel died. Again, I arrived a short time after these events and found that the FBI had failed to secure the locales and, subsequently, to find much actionable intelligence about what had happened and who was behind the attacks.

Although I had less contact with the FBI as I moved into academia, I was dumbstruck by the ineptitude before 9/11 and afterward. The political enmity toward Donald Trump and his allies underscored how poorly the FBI had served the country.

As Congress prepares to take a good, hard look at the FBI, the agency needs more than reform, and it may be time to shutter the doors and devise an entirely different approach to national policing.
