As the disastrous evacuation of Afghanistan unfolded during the past week and a half it has become clear that the Biden regime favors the Taliban over the supporters of President Trump.  How else would you explain all of the oddities and deeply troubling events that occurred during the disastrous evacuation and collapse of the American presence in Afghanistan.

It is clear from Joe Biden’s strong anti Second Amendment stance that he does not believe that the American people should be allowed to own guns.  That is a belief held by most progressives.  How does the Biden Regime feal about the Taliban possessing weapons.  Check out this article.

We left the Taliban more than 22,000 Humvees, a fleet of attack helicopters, and about half-a-million firearms.  Contingency planning, Biden style.  Horrifyingly, we have reportedly gifted the Taliban a treasure trove of technological tools and detailed records with which they can and will hunt down and exterminate American ‘collaborators:’

Yup the Biden Regime just supplied the murderousTaliban with enough weapons and ammunition to keep an army in business for years.  How long before those weapons are used in terrorist attacks around the world?

In its infinite stupidity the Biden Regime chose to partner with the Taliban terrorists.  They went so far as to give the Taliban lists of Americans still in Afghanistan:

U.S. officials in Kabul gave the Taliban a list of names of American citizens, green card holders and Afghan allies to grant entry into the militant-controlled outer perimeter of the city’s airport, a choice that’s prompted outrage behind the scenes from lawmakers and military officials.

It is most likely that these Americans will be killed by the Taliban and the Biden Regime made that happen.  Hundreds, if not thousands of Americans were abandoned to the Taliban when the Biden Regime meekly acquiesced to the Taliban’s demands and pulled out way too  early.

It is obvious the the Biden Regime is far more comfortable dealing with murderous Islamic terrorists than Americans who support the Constitution, individual rights, and free market capitalism.

More “Unexpected” Economic News

Posted: September 2, 2021 by datechguy in Uncategorized

A while back I wrote how the Trump economy kept exceeding expectations from the media and various groups “unexpectedly” while during the Biden Administration years economic targets kept missing the projected marks, Unexpectedly of course.

Over the last month the disaster in Afghanistan has dominated the headlines but the various Economic reports still continue and the true to form the pattern hasn’t changed:

U.S. companies created far fewer jobs than expected in August as the Covid resurgence coincided with cutbacks in hiring, according to a report Wednesday from payroll services firm ADP.

My degree of shock at these results can scarcely be contained.

I’m sure that the press will spin this and the numbers that follow as much as possible in the Biden Administration’s favor but if nothing else it’s gives the press an excuse to change the subject from the disaster in Afghanistan which their allies in the administration would like to forget as soon as possible so expect them to give a lot of attention to said spin

Unexpectedly of course

Five Cam Newton Release Mac Jones Thoughts

I don’t watch football anymore except for Tom Brady, but the release of Cam Newton is such an interesting story that it deserves a blog post:

  1. This caught a lot of people by surprise in the sense that since Mac Jones was drafted the question has been Cam or Mac, Mac or Cam. This has been the conversation every single day on Boston sports radio and a lot of the consensus has been that it was Cam’s job to lose. Right up until the story broke nobody saw it coming.

  1. There is some speculation that Newton was released as a favor to him once he had lost the QB competition to Jones (which wasn’t clear to the public two days ago) because being released now gives him a chance at a starting position in another organization. Any other season this would not likely be possible but with two weeks before opening day this is something that a team could actually consider.

  1. The release of Newton brings two different conflicting woke dynamics into play here. Cam was the first black “starting” quarterback in the history of the Boston/New England Patriots franchise (Jacoby Brissette started two games during Tom Brady’s “Deflategate” suspension). So you would think that there might be a bit of the race card pushback on this move, particular as it’s a “Boston” Team. However Cam was also “unvaccinated” and right now among those who are woke the decision not to get the COVID vaccine by a very public figure who has a large fanbase is considered almost as beyond the pale as voting Trump. It’s no accident that I’ve heard sports folk talk about Cam’s vaccinated status concerning this move but I’ve not heard a word concerning race although in fairness there is not an “ineligible” list based on race.

  1. While Cam’s shortcomings were a standard feature of sports talk radio last year locally, nationally there was little or no such discussion concerning Cam Newton’s performance or lack thereof. There was further (and listening to the radio yesterday) still a whole plethora of people who all had excuses for his leading the Patriots to their 1st losing season since before Tom Brady took over the team. The speed at which a team decides to pick up Newton or if he is picked up at all will tell us if this was just pundits being pundits or if front offices and GM’s around the league were part of that willful blindness that seems to engulf folks on the subject of Newton and the Patriots

  1. It would seem to me that one of the deciding factors here would be Jones similarity to the Brady style which is the offense that the Patriots Josh McDaniels has had success with. Expect to see a lot of this over the next decades as a generation of kids who watched Tom Brady play and pretended to be him or dreamed of being him over the last twenty years reach the college and pro-level. It remains to be seen of any of said kids can come anywhere close to being him but it’s worth noting what Newton’s departure means in terms of age and experience among AFC East starting QB’s

The September indulgence calendars for those who have taken up this devotion that we stated on the site is now up.

As before both the regular indulgence calendar with names for you to earn indulgences for that day, and a blank indulgence calendar for those who wish to fill in your own names in or take it as a template to create your own indulgence calendar for your parish or group. are up.

In addition to this post both Calendars will also be available in the links section of this blog under “Catholic” immediately and at the WQPH 89.3 FM web site eventually.

As always these indulgences are available under the normal conditions which are listed on the calendars: The norms are as follows:

  1. Communion on the day of an indulgence. This can be applied to any amount of indulgences that day.
  2. Confession within twenty days of the day of an indulgence. Applies to all indulgences during that period
  3. Prayers for the intentions of the Holy Father (an Our Father, Hail Mary or any appropriate prayer) once
    per day of indulgence.
  4. To earn an indulgence you must be in a state of grace (no unconfessed mortal sin) at the time of the
    indulgenced act)
  5. Indulgences can only be applied to the dead or to the person earning the indulgence. They can not be
    applied to any other living person.
  6. For a PLENARY indulgence you must have NO attachment to sin. If such an attachment exists the
    indulgence earned is only partial.
  7. A plenary indulgence can only be earned one a day (expect if death is imminent), there is no limits to
    partial indulgences daily.
  8. An indulgence attached to a feast day is still valid if the feast day is transferred lawfully.
  9. A specific day’s indulgence requiring a visit to a particular church or oratory can be made from noon the
    previous day to midnight on the actual day.
  10. No unbaptized person nor any Christian who is currently under the penalty of excommunication may
    earn an indulgence.
  11. You must ACTIVELY seek and or state your intention to obtain an indulgence for the act or prayer that
    carries it to be valid.
