Can’t anybody play this game?

Casey Stengel

As all of you know by now the GOP has offered not only a clean continuing resolution to fund the government but has offered individual bills to pay for the troops and for government workers, ALL of which Democrats have voted against keeping government closed.

Meanwhile the anger is building in EBT land:

I particularly love the lady who complains she can’t get lobster

Now Democrats are fueling this anger because they think that the potential for violence in blue cities is going to move the GOP to give in to their demands. An example:

I included the Date and Time in case they pull it but that’s not the point. The REAL point is how badly they’re setting themselves up.

If I’m the GOP this is what I do

  1. Pass a stand alone vote to fund EBT & the Troops in the house Make sure it’s a roll call vote.
  2. Bring up this bill once passed in the Senate, again MAKE SURE IT’S A ROLL CALL VOTE.
  3. Then watch what happens
    • If the Bill passes then the Dem plan is foiled and not only is EBT funded but the Troops are funded.
    • If the Democrats filibuster the bill and it fails immediate cuts ads like this:

President Trump and the GOP want to make sure that our Military and those dependent on food stamps get their payments on time and they brought up a bill to cover them.

But Senator <name of dem senator> voted no: (video of the roll call of the clerk calling Dem Senator’s name voting no.)

Donald Trump wants to make sure your kids are fed but Senator <dem senator> votes no. (video of roll call of Senator voting no)

Call Senator <Dem Senator> and tell him/her to vote the money to keep your kids from going hungry.

I would cut an ad like this for every Democrat senator and use some of that giant GOP cash advantage to start running them in every state where a Democrat Senator is up for re-election (and maybe a few that aren’t). The ads practically write themselves.

I don’t have access to an AI program to make an example ad but I’d bet a few people out there do.

So please Democrats keeps stalling because once Trump cuts those ads, it will be your offices in your home states that the mob storms.

That the Democrat’s have not thought of this amazes me.

I haven’t really written about DaDiet on the Blog…

…but so far it’s going pretty well.

Basically on Aug 4th I did something I hadn’t done in years, got a physical that included blood tests.

The tests didn’t come out very good to say the least and it looked like a lot of drugs and needles heading my way when the only medicine I have every been on was for blood pressure and that has only been for the last year or so.

I saw the results on MyChart and read them to my wife who gave me the bad news before the nurse-practitioner could call me. At that moment I resolved that I would try to take care of the problem myself, no shots, no pills, no cutting out half of my stomach.

I called the nurse-practitioner on the Feast of St. Myron of Crete (August 8th) and told the doctor that I was going to give myself one year from that date to get myself in better shape and if next year on that date my blood tests were still horrible I’d submit to whatever medication she would prescribe but I got myself into this problem so I want to try to get myself out of it.

On Aug 3rd I weighed in at 303.3

As of 15 minutes ago (Oct 23rd 6 am) I’m at 280 on the nose. My goal is 250. I choose 250 because all my old clothes will still fit me at 250 if I go below that weight I have to buy new stuff and nothing becomes more discouraging than losing weight, buying new clothes and then slowing growing to big for them again.

For those interested here is

DaTechguy’s Personal Diet

  • No fast food: McDonalds, Wendy’s Burger king OUT
  • No bread (I get two slices when I go out for breakfast that’s it)
  • No sausage (I had one piece a week ago) 1st since Aug 8th
  • No chocolate bars (had one since the 8th)
  • No candy, cake etc basically no deserts
  • No Ice Cream (I’ve had two servings since Aug 8th)
  • No potatoes (two servings since Aug 8th)
  • Salads with a mean whenever possible simple oil/vinegar dressings only
  • Soups when possible
  • Soda only if a restaurant has iffy water
  • Lots of peppers, onions & garlic
  • No Pasta (UPDATE forgot to include this in the list)
  • NO SECOND HELPINGS NO EXCEPTIONS!

I don’t have “cheat days” but what I do have is a rule that if there is a birthday or a holiday (Christmas, Thanksgiving) all these rules are suspended for the day but I don’t go nuts.

That and I’ve added walking when possible and the elliptical twice a week when It’s not.

I’m on track to hit my goal by Valentines day but I do have till aug 8th so It’s looking good and the NP has scheduled a blood test next month to check on the progress.

Wish me luck

Five Quick Thoughts Under the Fedora: Boston and BOSTON, Bookies know their Stuff, The point where it all Went Pear Shaped for the Brits, Fetterman and Low Bars and Sears can Play the Game unlike VA dems

Posted: October 16, 2025 by datechguy in Uncategorized

While the President is right about the state of the city of Boston (which is why I’m unlikely to go to any Redsox games next year) when he talks about the World Cup the reality is that the game would take place in Foxborough which is actually quite a ways away from the city.

It’s sort of the way people assume folks from Massachusetts are from “Boston” because they really don’t know any other city here. Although in fairness Trump’s move would likely hit Boston’s hotel industry.

Speaking of Foxborough the New England Patriots after six weeks under a new coach and with a real #1 receiver on the field suddenly find themselves in first place thanks to a pair of losses by the Buffalo Bills, one delivered by Said Patriots.

I credit the new receiver because as he’s now drawing the coverage of the other teams best guy it means that the rest of the receiving crew are now facing easier coverage which is why Maye keeps finding them open.

I had been talking to people at work saying: Boy whoever bet on this must have really scored big but apparently a $10 bet that the Pats would be in 1st place by week six only paid $45 and one that they would win the division only paid $55.

That surprised me more than them being in first but it tells me those oddsmakers really know their jobs.

We are nearing the 100th anniversary of the moment when Western Civilization started committing suicide, namely the anniversary of when the Lambeth Conference, which takes place every 10 years in the Anglican church, suddenly decided that birth control was no longer a grave sin.

The so called small exception they made became standard in all protestant denomination and the birth rates plummeted in the west. Within two generations the Brits lost their empire, within 4 generations brits and other western countries imported millions of Muslims and now 95 years later Brits are being arrested for displaying the Union Jack in their own country because it might offend Muslims.

You know God’s command to “be fruitful and multiply” like all of his rules and laws are not for HIS benefit, but is for ours.

The saddest thing about this answer to a question by Sen John Fetterman is that it’s being cheered by us:

It’s sad because not calling people Hitler and trying to murder political foes is such a low bar that one should not need to be praised but that’s where we now are.

I have absolutely no interest in a bunch of college kids saying something stupid in a chat when the left won’t critique college students for violently attacking feds or their fellow students.

That being said anyone who decided to demand GOP candidate Sears denounce them for their words at a time when the Democrats in VA won’t have their AG candidate step down for wishing murder on kids is really stupid.

As Casey Stengel once said about his 1962 Mets: “Can’t anybody play this game?”
