Christ before the Sanhedrin (Wikipedia commons)

The High Priest questioned Jesus about his disciples and his doctrine. Jesus answered him saying:

“I have spoken publicly to the world. I have always taught in a synagogue or in the temple area where the Jews gather and in secret I have said nothing. Why ask me? Ask those who heard me what I said to them. They know what I said.”

When he said this, one of the temple guards standing there struck him and said: “Is this the way you answer the High Priest?” Jesus answered him:

“If I have spoken wrongly, testify to the wrong, but if I have spoken rightly, why do you strike me?”

John 18:19-23

As everyone knows Charlie Kirk was a follower of Jesus Christ and it seems they had one thing in common.

Jesus was accused of all sorts of wrong by the Sanhedrin but despite speaking publicly in front of multitudes they were unable to find testimony that showed him guilty of anything.

Likewise we see Democrats from AOC to Ilan Omar along with multiple celebs and activists on the left claim that Charlie Kirk was a racist, a fascist, a homophobe and a white supremacist, they call him head of the modern Hitler youth, when they’re not cheering his murder that is or booing the idea of praying for him & his family.

But there is one thing that they DON’T do. They never link to video to back up these claims.

This is rather odd if you think about it. Charlie Kirk like Christ, spoke openly, he was at campus’ all over the nation and was interviewed all over the world. There are literally hundreds of videos showing him taking questions and answering them going back years. You don’t have to ask the people who heard him as Christ suggested, you can literally see what he said.

Yet none of these leftist calling Kirk all these names do so, why?

Well the answer comes from Catholic Cardinal who had no idea who Charlie Kirk was.


Here is the quote:

Timothy Cardinal Dolan on Charlie Kirk – “The more I learned about him, I thought this guy is a modern-day Saint Paul. He was a missionary, an evangelist, a hero.”

You see not knowing who Charlie was and not being familiar with his work he went online and checked out the videos and came to the conclusion that he was a hero.

And THAT’S why the left doesn’t dare link to any video to support their charges, because a person seeing the videos, the questions and the answers will see for themselves that their charges are unsubstantiated by the facts and that they are in fact liars.

The irony here is that Charlie, being very familiar with scripture would expect nothing less because as a servant of Christ he would remember the warning given to his disciples during the last supper discourses:

If the world hates you, realize that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, the world would love its own; but because you do not belong to the world, and I have chosen you out of the world, the world hates you.

Remember the word I spoke to you,  ‘No slave is greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will also keep yours. And they will do all these things to you on account of my name, because they do not know the one who sent me. If I had not come and spoken to them, they would have no sin; but as it is they have no excuse for their sin. Whoever hates me also hates my Father.

John 15:18-23

The world hated Charlie Kirk, because the world is loyal to the prince of the world. That’s why those loyal to the prince of this world cheered his death loudly and publicly.

Trump vs Biden and The Whole “Trump is Dead” Lunacy

Headline: World death rate Holding Steady at 100%

The Onion 1997

One of the oldest DaTechGuy sayings is that wishing for someone to be dead is one of the most effective wishes that a person might make because sooner or later said wish WILL in fact come true. The only question being: “Will you be alive to see it happen?”

The whole three day “Trump is dead” business reminds me a bit about the excellent four part comic book series: The death of Batman (Batman 291-294 1977) where after he hasn’t been seen for several days someone starts a rumor that Batman is dead and a trial is held in the underworld to see which claimant taking credit for it is guilty (I include a link to the four stories if you wish to read them).

That this actually took off is really a commentary on the Donald Trump 2nd terms vs the Joe Biden presidency.

During the Joe Biden years Biden was constantly on vacation. Actions were taken to minimize his interaction with the public and the press and even pre-arranged questions and answer were arranged to manage the moments when they did “question” the president.

All during this time the press kept insisting that Joe Biden is fine and anybody who thought otherwise was creating “deepflakes” and spreading “disinformation”. This campaign began during the 2020 campaign and continued right up until 9:05 PM or so on June 27 2024 when it became instantly clear to every viewer watching that Joe Biden could not function.

Go back to Instapundit on that day and watch some of the video, it was devastating.

The point? Nobody in media questioned Joe Biden health or fitness until the moment it was not possible to sell the lie anymore.

Now let’s turn to Donald Trump.

From the day he was elected, NOT from the day he was sworn in Donald Trump has been in people’s faces. He has been action Action ACTION! Constantly talking to the press live, constantly pushing his agenda, it’s been nonstop action from the very first and it has not changed. Other than judicial nominations he has basically gotten a full four years worth of work done in about 7 months.

You can’t escape him, he’s been go Go GO! on everything and despite his advanced age has shown no sign of slowing down, (A lifetime of no booze or drugs can do that for a body). Every single day he’s been going forward, folks like me who as the saying goes: “We haven’t gotten tired of the winning”.

But the left has grown tired of all the losing and it’s been so endemic that they simply can’t handle it, it’s driven them mad to the point where it’s become an obsession. You can’t escape him, you can’t function, you can’t deal with the reality.

And then suddenly he’s gone for a few days.

Now for most normal people the idea of taking a few days off after working non-stop for a year (counting the election campaign) would be a no brainer. The question for us wouldn’t be why he would take some time to spend with a grandchild, but the question would be why he hadn’t done this before?

But for an already obsessed and broken left, three days without Trump in their faces, when they have lived and breathed Trump for most of the last decade was a source of confusion.

The thought that he might actually take a few days off never even slightly occurred to them, it HAD to be something nefarious, after all this is TRUMP! There HAD to be something wrong, there HAD to be a crisis, and from there it became: He must be dead!

They have reached such a point of derangement that they let themselves believe that Trump had died and began tweeting it out and even celebrating, which made the crash when this nonsense was revealed for what it was even worse for them (except for the few who might have died during those three days thinking that Trump was gone who died happy).

All of this is indicative of the deep mental illness and obsession that Trump has brought on to them.

My advice is the same I gave on twitter. Stop obsessing with Washington and a person you will likely never meet and get on with improving your actual life. If you treat Trump like any other president you’ll be happier and healthier. Trump is an old man, sooner or later he will die as all men do. Living your life for that moment is a waste of time and if you only live for that moment the disappointment you will find when it turns out Trump’s death doesn’t improve your life at all will be too much for you to bear.

Note: I don’t expect this advice to be taken even slightly.

The Russia Reality or Why Peace

Yesterday I was at an event at the American Heritage Museum in Hudson MA. They had a parade of World War 2 Tanks: Stewarts, Shermans and a Jackson. For those with money to burn you could actually ride in said tanks and if you had a LOT of dough to burn you could even getting a driving lesson or two.

Their collection of items from a Russian T-34 to a German Panther and a British Matilda and lots more. It was like a living exhibit of the book Great Weapons of World War II, they also has tanks and planes from later eras as well as other exhibits.

But the real prize of a 103 year old gentleman who served in the Pacific both in New Guinea and in the Philippines at the same time as my father. My sons born in the 1990’s have known few such men while in my youth I was surrounded by those like him who had seen combat in World War 2. I met plenty when my dad took me to the local VFW and such events. I found myself very moved when I realized that this was likely the last such man I would ever meet.

And that, in a round about way brings me to Russia, the talks between Trump and Putin and the attempt to end this war.

Before anything considers this one must look at Russia honestly, for all the efforts of Peter the Great and all the perceptions of elites, Russia is not a western country, it’s people are not western people and it does not think like a western people.

Russia is a country that suffered defeats. They lost small wars to Japan and Poland in the last 150 years and had massive defeats both in Europe and in Russia proper to the armies of Napoleon and Hitler before their armies eventually marched to victory in bringing down both Napoleon with the help of the Brits and Prussians and Hitler with the help of America and England.

No Russian leader will forget that in each of the previous two centuries they were invaded by the single greatest war machine in the world of the time and both had to be repelled at great cost. In us the Russians face the greatest war machine in the history of history. No amount of assurances, deals or negotiation is going to convince any Russian leader that the west does not have designs on their territory and or their vast resources.

Furthermore they remember that at one time the Ukraine was the bread basket of Russia and that the Baltic states and Poland once flew their flag.

Their misadventure in Ukraine (which they see internally as protecting a Russian minority as well as reclaiming a chunk of “historical” Russia) is in many ways a way to create a larger buffer between Russia proper and western armies.

When I say “misadventure” I’m referring to their reverses. The Ukrainians who have no business beating a world power who dwarfs them in population and arms have been stubborn, creative and have managed quite a few moves to set a complacent Russia on their heels but the reality is this:

Ukraine can not win a war of attrition: Eventually they will run out of manpower while Russia can bring not only their own troops but North Korean troops to the fight. Basically they’re in the same position as Lee being driven towards the siege of Petersburg. They can make some impressive moves but It’s only a matter of time.

The only way that Lee could have been saved would have been massive intervention by a foreign power but England was not going to war to save the Southern Confederacy and France was not going to war without England.

In the same way the only way Putin can be defeated militarily would be if west decided on open war.

Europe will not go to war without America and the bottom line is America is not going to risk a war that at best would cost tens of thousands of lives and at worst will result in a nuclear exchange that would not spare the American mainland not to mention what would happen to eastern Europe when the scourge of the last World War is still in living memory.

There are plenty of self righteous keyboard warriors who have no problem with hundreds of thousands of Americans and others sent to Ukraine to risk death as they sit far away imagining themselves immune to the costs but to those of us who live in the real world and understand how many men like the old gentlemen I met yesterday didn’t come back think twice before committing our young men to the risk of death in a fight that frankly isn’t ours.

That being said a deal must be made, such a deal has to take into account the realities on the ground plus understanding that you don’t want Putin to be in a situation where a more belligerent rival will replace him on the promise of winning a war he lost.

Thus Trump will negotiate with a goal of preserving as much of Ukraine as possible as an independent state with the ability to defend itself while taking into account both what the Russians currently hold and the ethnic issues of Russians in said area.

It’s not going to be easy anything short of Putin begging for forgiveness will be painted as a defeat by the left and anything that doesn’t give Putin sovereignty over most if not all of Donbas will likely cause grief to the Russian hawks, but only quietly as Putin is still Putin.

Let’s hope Trump can pull it off, if anyone can it’s him.

A final thought, all of this was made possible by Joe Biden & Co who signaled to Putin that he had no issue with him going to take the Donbass (the media might have forgotten Biden’s words before and at the start of the invasion but I haven’t). Putin seeing Biden for what he was, a weak horse not actually in charge, decided to go all in and try to take the lot rather than grabbing the piece old Joe’s team thought he was going for. For all his faults (and he has PLENTY) if Zelenskyy doesn’t very publicly turn down Biden offer of escape and declared he would stay and fight we might be talking about Russia threatening Moldovia or even Belarus, assuming he didn’t gobble them up while the weak Biden admin was his only threat.

If Trump adds peace in Ukraine via a deal that preserves Ukrainian independence to his already impressive case for the Nobel based on his peace efforts worldwide, the prize will likely be automatic. If it happens we must remember that whatever else I might think and whatever else he has done the reason why there will be a Ukraine still there for Trump to save was because of Zelenskyy.

The #Unexpectedly Chronicles Worshiping the Narrative over Christ South Africa Edition

If the goal was a prosperous and well fed South Africa that advice and example from history would be noted but for Marxists and Socialists the goals are not a prosperous and well fed South Africa but a South Africa governed by prosperous and well fed Marxist Socialists.

DaTechGuy March 2018

There is a lot of news out there this week from the China deal to the release of the final American hostage from Gaza.

But for my money the biggest news is the decision by the Episcopal Church to terminate its entire refugee program rather than resettle 5 dozen South African white farmers.

Why do I think it’s a big story? Just this.

The story of what South Africa has become since the death of Nelson Mandela is one of the most ignored stories in the world. How a country with incredible mineral wealth, a strong farm system managed to peacefully transfer from a system of apartheid under Mandela but when he retired fell into kleptocracy and corruption to the point were it is one of the most unsafe nations in the world with unemployment huge, rape a norm and lack of electricity and infrastructure all brought to you thanks to the Marxists of the ANC. The MSM hasn’t touched this story but I’ve been covering it for years.

While whites are now down to 9% of the population and dropping and it’s been over 27 years since Mandela has left power the ANC is till blaming whites for all the problems due to their quarter century of stealing to the point where their political leaders are literally calling for the death of these farmers publicly.

Now if the Episcopal church was an actual Christian church whose primary mission was to follow the teachings of Christ resettling these people would be a no-brainer particularly given the tens of thousands they have dealt with in the Biden years and before.

But the reality here is that their loyalty is to the politics of the left and to Marxism and because the failures and the violence of the ANC can’t be acknowledged by the left nor can any move by Donald Trump be considered legitimate their church is choosing to end their refugee program rather than help resettle these 60 people, not because this violates Christian values, but it violates their political values.

C. S, Lewis had these types pegged in Screwtape 7:

“Once you have made the World an end, and faith a means, you have almost won your man, and it makes very little difference what kind of worldly end he is pursuing. Provided that meetings, pamphlets, policies, movements, causes, and crusades, matter more to him than prayers and sacraments and charity, he is ours – and the more ‘religious’ (on those terms) the more securely ours.”

That what was one a mainline protestant faith has now fallen to this is not a huge surprise to me, those who were interested in actually belief left long ago but that it should openly reject charity is a critical turning point that speaks volumes about those who have made politics their religion.

I recommend worshiping and following Christ over worshiping leftism and political ideology, the former is very merciful and forgiving and the later demands vengeance for the slightest infraction.
