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.

One of the things that tend to irritate me is when people say something so obviously contrary to reality and expect me to play along. These tweets are a great example.

Funny how corporations magically become greedy only when the left is in power isn’t it?

Or this bit of nonsense:

Yup Donald Trump slaughtered them all and put them all in a mass grave but on January 21st 2021 like John Cleese’s Character that was turned into a Newt they all got better.

I had a Lesbian co-worker years ago who was convinced that Donald Trump would put her in a concentration camp if he was elected and the lack of being put in the concentration camp during the Trump years never convinced her otherwise.

As you can see fame is not a cure for this inability to see reality

Bill Mahar tried that same thing with Megan Kelly, it didn’t go well.

And sometimes even the most intelligent celebs made really dumb moves to sell a meme:

Seriously? Cleese is trying to sell Trump as mentally impaired when he’s running against Biden? Cripes even Bill Mahar won’t play that game.

But even with all I’ve seen the most incredible bit of BS I’ve seen pushed at me was this:

Because I do the shopping in the house and have for years and that very day I went to the soda aisle and for the first time ever saw 2 liter bottles of soda offered at 2 for $5. I grabbed a cheaper brand and went to the frozen food aisle figuring to buy some Michelina’s frozen Penne & pasta meals & maybe a fettucine alfredo as they are a cheap alternative for lunch. They’re normally a buck each but I had seen them as high as a buck and a quarter lately.

They were $1.50 each A 50% increase over the Trump years and remember these are the bottom of the line in terms of price (not in quality however they are rather tasty).

So imagine what went through my mind when I saw this:

Why on earth is this stuff effective to some? The answer comes from human nature.

People hate to admit they were wrong, to notice the crashing economy, the rampant antisemitism, our rejection around the world, the abandonment of our allies, the massive amount of illegal immigration, the emptying of our strategic petroleum reserve all of the layoffs nationally and of course the President’s inability to walk or talk or complete a speech without a long list of corrections coming out from the White House is to concede that perhaps they were wrong for either their support for Joe Biden or the opposition to Donald Trump or both.

And to make that admission is more than they can bear.

My Pastor at St. Bernard’s Parish at St. Camillus church often talks about seeing yourself in the light of truth and that part of reason why so many choose hell is they give the choice of seeing themselves in the light of truth and accepting mercy and denying that truth for all the sufferings of hell they find all the torments of the damned preferable to the uncomfortable truths about themselves.

The truth about Joe Biden in general and the party they have adopted not as a means to a political end but as their religion is too much for them to bear.

Rather sad actually.

I have this horrible feeling of “Déjà Vu

Déjà Vu Monty Python’s Flying Circus 1970

It’s been nearly 10 years since my post titled Enfield Rifles, Israeli Tanks & Palestinian Lies” went up on this blog in response to claims by Palestinians that Israel was targeting civilians in their response to another Hamas attack that was immediately followed by calls from the left for a cease fire since Hamas was no longer in a position to effectively kill Jews in safety.

Unlike the last time however there seem to be a massive amount of western students educated by expensive elite colleges that have been getting a lot of fund from Arab states that seem to be making the same claims of “Genocide” and “targeting civilians” that were just as false 9 years ago when Israel wasn’t all in the way they are now.

It appears that these young mush for brains while being instructed on all 387 genders have not been taught anything about simple logic so I will explain to them the fallacy of their position in a way they will hopefully understand.

If you just want to read the original post you can click here as the point as much of the text will be the same but if you want to check out my embellishments read on:

There was a great video of Ben Shapiro answering a lot of nonsense from the “Death to Israel” crowd, a crowd so ignorant at best or mendacious as worst that one actually claimed that England didn’t bomb civilians during world war 2. The Oxford Union doesn’t allow embedding but you can view it here.

It takes a lot of ignorance for people to fall for this line although I suspect it’s more in the sense of a religious belief than actual ignorance, but for all the influences out there parroting the. “Targeting of Civilians” and “Genocide” line there is a witness who can without question prove the falsehood of that claim: The late General Reginald Dwyer.

On  April 13th 1919 General Dwyer led a contingent of about 90 men to Jallianwala Bagh where there was a large crowd of Indians some for protest and some for a local fair.

After deploying 50 of his men armed with bolt action Lee Enfield Rifles (First introduced in 1895) he opened fire on the crowd.  After expending aprox 1650 rounds his troops managed to inflict over 1500 casualties on the crowd with between 379 & 1000 dead depending on whose figures you believe.

Dyer never for one moment denied that he was deliberately targeting unarmed civilians, in fact Dyer actually had armored cars armed with machine guns but he was unable to bring them to bear. At the official inquiry he bluntly stated publicly that had he been able to deploy them he would have used them.

Once again here is the scene from the movie Gandhi that vividly portrayed that scene which is a key moment in the movement for Indian independence known as the Amritsar or the Jallianwala Bagh massacre.  

Now any good anti colonialist likely knows about what happened here and rightly decries it as an evil act. I suspect that if you mentioned it to the students currently marching in favor of Hamas they might have even been taught about this as it rightly portrays a white western colonial power in a bad light.

The problem however for our friends on the left is that this action clearly establishes their claims against Israel and their narrative in Gaza as a lie.

Consider the following:

  • General Dwyer had 50 armed men, using 19th century bolt-action rifles and in only 15 minutes of deliberately targeting a civilian population inflicted 1500 casualties.
  • Israel has called up nearly 400,000 men and women, they have deployed, jets, heavy artillery, tanks and all the weapons that a modern experienced 21st century army has at its disposal. It has been on the ground in Gaza for about five days (as of this writing on Friday morning) t and for several days before this, Israel was launching air and artillery strikes on Gaza.
  • Furthermore they are operating in a very densely populated area. In fact we are constantly told by the defenders of Hamas that Gaza is the most densely populated place there is on earth.

Now think about this for a second.

If we are to believe the Arabs on twitter, the students in universities, the “experts” on various platforms like tic-tok and the Arab media, and those marching in cities in Europe and the US that Israel is and has been deliberately targeting Palestinian civilians since day 1 as part of “genocide” then an obvious question arises:

How is it that the Israeli Army and Air Force, given weeks of time are less efficient killers of civilians than 50 British soldiers armed with bolt-action rifles, introduced when Grover Cleveland was President of the United States, were in 15 minutes?

If Israel was doing what you claim then Gaza would have been depopulated when the first version of this post went up in July of 2014 let alone today.

Bottom line if you are still maintaining that Israel is targeting civilians and committing genocide in Gaza not only do General Dyer, the dead of Amritsar and simple logic call you a nonsensical liar but by speaking this lie you are dishonoring the dead of Amritsar who never even considered the evils that Hamas committed on Oct 7th to begin this war.

I was in conversation with my priest this morning after mass and confession and I noted how today’s 1st reading from Joel was almost a blueprint for what is happening and going to happen in Gaza.

As we continued to talk we discussed confession. To get the forgiveness of God paid for by Christ one must be willing to look at oneself in the light of truth. The knowledge that you have sinned and contrition for them is what drives a good Catholic to confession. This is why before absolution one recites an act of contrition like this one.

O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee, and I detest all my sins because of thy just punishments, but most of all because they offend Thee, my God, who art all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve with the help of Thy grace to sin no more and to avoid the near occasion of sin. Amen.

There are those who are unwilling and incapable of looking at once self in the light of truth. Who are in denial of their sins. This is why Hell is in fact a mercy of God. Demons under compulsion during exorcisms have bluntly admitted they understand the love of God and the decisions they have made but when asked if they would change their choices they’ve replied emphatically NO! Their pride will not allow it.

Thus do people put themselves into hell as the merciful alternative to admitting a reality that they can’t bear to admit. Pride the ultimate sin.

And that brings us to the pains that parts of the left, particularly the Jewish left is now feeling.

You see many of on the right, particularly folks like Pam Geller and Robert Spencer have been talking about the antisemitism of the left in General and the Muslim left in particular for many many years. For their troubles they were called bigots and hate mongers by all the “right” people of the elite left. How DARE they suggest that any people of the left might think this way! Any such statement was “hate” speech and “violence”.

And then came the Hamas attacks and the slaughter and worse of not only of men but of women and children.

That was painful and awful, particularly to those who had argued for the Palestinians (although a lot more painful for some and even fatal for others) but the pain increased when in colleges around the nation and the world groups (particularly groups heavy in the DEI defended hamas and the slaughter of woman and children. As Victor Davis Hanson put it:

In Australia you actually had the spectacle of people publicly shouting “Gas the Jews” while the only person taken into custody was a single Jewish counter protester with an Israeli flag. In America the highest bastions of Education openly supported these murderous bastards.

To some on the left, particularly the Jewish left it was an eye opening moment. A moment of clarity that shows their “allies” for what they actually are and have always been. Ready to decry “microaggressions” of any of opposed them but declaring that loud public support for the mass murder of woman and children is “free speech’ to be protected and/or excused.

To these people comes the great decision. Do they divorce themselves from this barbarians, do they admit that those of us on the right have been telling the truth all along or do they hate us on the right so much that allying with folks who support their own murder is better?

But for all the angst that this decision will bring their situation at least they now see beyond the bubble and are in a position to make a choice.

There are others on the left who still maintain denial, both of the acts of Hamas or that they bear any responsibility for them.

You see for those folks acknowledging any of these things means they must face the possibility of being wrong. They mustn’t see things in the light of truth it is more then they can handle. Much better to live the lie and remain in the bubble.

How these groups will respond to the reality will define them for the rest of their lives. The question: How many will rather suffer the hell of denial than the pain of reality?

Pray for them all.
