Five Unpleasant Truths Under the Fedora

Posted: March 15, 2022 by datechguy in Uncategorized

A lot of what is being said on Twitter concerning Ukraine and Russia is all about people trying to feel important and involved on something that they have nothing at all to do with. That self image trumps any other consideration in the world to them.


You don’t start teaching kids about various sexual stuff in school unless you are hoping to have them sexually active young and that people refuse to see this speaks volumes about either their stupidity or complicity in such a goal.


If the choice is admitting idiocy and dealing with reality as it is vs remaining in a painful self affirming fantasy a large chunk of the population will choose the latter regularly.


The last decade but particularly the last year has proved John Adams right about our constitution only being suited for a moral and religious people. The farther that we move from morality and religion (Christianity in particular) the more inadequate it becomes.


There are many wise things my Father taught me. One of them was not to care if someone had more as long as I had what I needed. It’s a lesson that more people could use, but it seems to me that they were taught that it isn’t enough to have more, others must be made to feel that they have less.

SHREVEPORT – My husband has made it a whole week without getting tossed into the Facebook hoosgow.

He never wanted to be on the social media platform at all, but years ago, when Facebook was still sort of fun, I made an account for him so he could keep up with friends and family “back home.” He loved it at first because he was connecting with old classmates and distant family members. He joined the Facebook group for his tiny, rural hometown, and they shared old photos and memories. It was all so harmless.

Then politics reared its ugly head and Facebook became the liberal, curated, censored wasteland that it is today. He is adamantly outspoken and incapable of holding back his opinions when it comes to liberal policies and corrupt politics.

And so he has of late been spending time in the Facebook Prison. The first time it was only 24-hours and supervised probation upon his release. He gleefully celebrated his release with yet another post about “Chillary Hinton” and a “chewicide” hotline, in an attempt to get around the evil censors, and he got three days in solitary. Again, supervised probation upon release but a much longer period.

He is unrepentant. He is incensed about gasoline prices, as are we all, and freely sharing his thoughts on the policies of the current administration regarding drilling and energy. He refuses to be silenced and the more the censors threaten him and try to hold him down, he is more and more vocal.

It’s hard not to respect that!

I suggested he give up social media for Lent, even though we aren’t Catholic. He’s a much happier person when he isn’t scrolling through pictures of rising gas prices, pictures of empty grocery shelves, and posts about politics.

It’s only a matter of time until they catch up with him again. His last three posts included accusing MSNBC pundits of taking hallucinogens, a photo of the White House Press Secretary as Pinocchio, and a meme about the Vice-President that said, “…if you gave her a penny for her thoughts, you’ll get change back.”

They’ll get him for those.

Meanwhile, I’ll just be over here minding my own business and posting pictures of my lunch. It’s much safer.

For half a decade or more we have heard that Tom Brady’s wife wanted him to retire so as not to get himself hurt, that there was nothing left to prove, that he should be home with the family and the kids.

Amazing how one’s attitude changes after two months of the husband at home every day in the house that you ran:

Yup only two months to turn years of I don’t want you to get hurt honey into You go out and play if you want to.

It’s practically a sitcom cliché.

Closing thought, Aaron Rogers just lost a ton of NFL records for active players that he held just two days ago. .

Pol after pols predicts disaster for the Democrats, particularly among minorities, Inflation is skyrocketing along with oil prices and we have the potential for World War 3, cripes even Trevor Noah is saying this wouldn’t happen under Trump

This bodes well for the GOP in November and may even bode well for 2024 but the Biden Administration has one thing to console them.

Now matter how much gas, and food, and heating prices go up, no matter how far the dow drops, no matter how close World War 3 or an Iranian Nuke comes to reality on their watch all of these things are not a problem to the most important voting block to secure an election…

…ballots filled out at 1 am by democrat operatives.

Among that key voting block Biden is just as popular as he ever was.

There are consequences to stealing an election or letting an election be stolen and America is going to have to live with them for a very long time.
