Do remember you are there to fuddle him. From the way some of you young fiends talk, anyone would suppose it was our job to teach!

C. S. Lewis The Screwtape Letters Letter #1

In the days when I was doing Computer Technical Support (which is why this blog is DaTechGuy blog and why I’m DaTechGuy online) one of the things I ran into a lot were people who focused on a particular problem while losing sight of what their actual goal was. You could fix a bug but if you aren’t addressing what the actual goal was you weren’t doing the customer much good. I always established what they were trying to do and if there was a better way of doing it suggest it as I fixed the bug so that the underlying problem, the goal, could be achieved.

Even at my current location which is as far as you can get from tech support when I was occasionally given a new person to train on a simple process like picking items ordered, I never started there. I took them to every part of the warehouse from the receiving docks where the product came in, to the receivers to processed and recorded it, to the group putting to the stations where they were being shipped to the lines where the shipped items were put in their respective bins and back to the docks. The idea was to make people understand that while the task seemed mundane it was a vital cog that worked with all the others to the ultimate goal of getting a product ordered by a customer to their door.

One of the best attributes of Donald Trump is one he shares with both Ron DeSantis who I supported in the primaries, is that the sees things in this way and the entire Springfield business is an excellent example of how this works.

The media/left reacted with glee at Trump bringing up the of pets in Springfield and spent days bashing him over it.

This put the entire countries’ focus on Springfield and while the left was decrying memes showing Trump protecting cats and dogs and stuff like this hilarious image:

The reality was that it became excellent fodder for doing two things, first showing the left for what is it to wit:

And this is classic:

All that is fun but is misses the bottom line which is that now everybody is talking about how the Biden Administration dumped tens of thousand of foreign nationals on a small town doubling it’s population with no support for the town in coping with it.

That’s a subject the left doesn’t want to discuss but it’s the cat and dog business that gave the opening to J.D. Vance when the media tried to play “Gotcha” with him on it:

Or as Ace of Spade put it after posting a NY Times story which included (emphasis Ace):

Mr. Trump’s debate remarks have themselves become a meme on the left since Tuesday, as musical remixes of his comments have ping-ponged around Instagram, TikTok and other social platforms, mocking the pet-eating claims while also prolonging their stay in the news cycle.

The attention has been unwelcome in Springfield, where tensions over immigration have flared since an 11-year-old boy was killed last year when a Haitian immigrant driving without a valid license crashed his minivan into a school bus.

Which caused him to quip

“They’re killing 11-year-old boys, not cats” is not the winning message you think it is, New York Times.

Kurt Schlichter nailed it:

And if Trump ends up going to Springfield and highlights the issue it will be spiking the ball.

Update: JD Vance again:

and again

Back in the days before Obama and in those halcyon years of the 20th century when someone stated something that was considered a “conspiracy theory” those who wished to debunk it simply broke out actual evidence that could clearly demonstrate that someone was talking nonsense.

It was the standard way of silencing people who were talking nonsense, you’d show the math, you’d display your work and thus easily show that the various worries and fears of impossible things were, in fact baseless and thus belonged in the category of “conspiracy theory”.

But over the last 10 years this has changed. Our friends on the left when confronted by questions they did not want to deal with have basically shouted “conspiracy theory” without bothering with the pesky business of disproving various claims, the accusation itself was enough.

Thus the reaction by the left to this story out of Georgia:

The Georgia State Election Board passed a rule Monday giving local election officials additional power to investigate ballot counts before certifying the results, a move critics say could inject chaos into the 2024 election and delay the state’s official vote count.

The “Rule for Reconciliation Prior to Certification” will allow for a hand recount of votes to ensure “the total number of ballots cast” does not exceed “the total number of persons who voted,” according to the language of the rule.

County election officials will now be allowed to investigate any possible discrepancies.

The NY Times describes this as a “right wing takeover” and the CNN story is full of, as Citizen Free Press calls it “Democrat Tears” but the bottom line is this.

If the cries of “stolen elections” are simply a “conspiracy theory” then a hand recount should be welcomed by our friends on the left as a simple way to verify what they already claim is the case.

Because you don’t need “massive turnout” to counteract verification if actual votes are there do you?

Quick reminder: 30 Days ago Joe Biden was still the nominee of the Democrats and every MSM outlet out there INSISTED that if you suggested that he was in the slightest bit impaired you were a dishonest deep fake liar.

That it has been under a month since this moment is still a matter of wonderment for me.


The prime minister of Israel spoke to congress this Wednesday and as this happened a bunch of people who do not support Donald Trump for president stormed the capital and defaced a bunch of monuments in DC while burning American Flags and assaulted police

The press didn’t find any of this a problem and I predict the US government will not consider any of this stuff very insurrectiony. After all it’s not like they were Trump voters or doing anything REALLY dangerous like praying at an abortion clinic.

Well that’s what you get with stolen elections isn’t it?


This is how bad the gaslighting has become with the press.

Old friend Elizabeth Scalia is beside herself over the blatant in your face lies that the press is telling but I say the real issue here is lack of Christ:

The fear of God is the beginning of wisdom and you’d be surprised how a sermon on the dangers of hell heard when young might make a difference later in life.


While she skipped the speech of Netanyahu’ she had a private meeting with him away from the cameras and she came out of that meeting breathing fire:

This along with the ignoring of angry terrorist sympathizers in DC & NYC are the fulfillment of this statement that I made many years ago:

Right now the left has the Gays and the Transgenders and the Hollywood elites & media in which they are overrepresented and they figure that’s the best things to have, but in America Islam is a thing of the future.  In 20 years the children of Muslims now being raised on the tenets of Sharia law in America will be old enough to vote and Democrats going to make sure they get those votes when the time come, not now but 10-20 years from now.

If you’re an American Jew and you don’t take measures to defend or protect yourself now you’re going to doom yourself to a future where the days of Moses in Egypt are your best case scenario.

Ok that’s an exaggeration, but not by a lot


And to lighten this heavy move our 1972 Baseball league had an interesting twist.

Last years World Series Winning LA dodgers have fallen on hard times with the worst record in the league and were facing the Cleveland Indians deep in a fight for a wild card spot. They started Wayne Twitchell who came in with a 1-10 record vs the 8-10 Bill Stoneman.

And this happened:

That the thing about baseball you never know when something like this is going to happen.

Captain Darling: So you see Blackadder. Field Marshall Haig is most anxious to eliminate all these German Spies..
General Melchett: Filthy hun weasels, fighting their dirty underhanded war!
Captain Darling: …and fortunately one of our spies
General Melchett: Splendid fellows, brave heroes risking life and limb for Blighty!

Black Adder Goes Forth General Hospital 1989

I’ve written a lot about how things changed on June 27th because the media was shown to be either willingly incompetent: We didn’t know that Biden had elder issues or lying through their teeth: We knew what shape Biden was in but we weren’t about to tell you and disrupt the Democrat narrative.

This was a solid crisis for the MSM/left because the debate which apparently the Biden campaign figured Trump would duck due to the insane conditions that were set showed every single person in the media and government who INSISTED that those who said Joe Biden had elder issues. It was a real 2 Book of Samuel chapter 12 verse 12 moment when the Prophet Nathan says to David concerning his arranging the murder of Uriah the Hittite


You have done this deed in secret, but I will bring it about in the presence of all Israel, and with the sun looking down.'”

And thus for the last 16 days we’ve had report after report from the MSM concerning the mental health issues of Joe Biden from the same people who denied it for years.

The reaction from the MSM was panic as not only was this going on, but Donald Trump wasn’t stepping on this story media site after media site kept asking why wasn’t Trump stealing the spotlight? Even Meta & Instagram suddenly revoked the bans on Trump’s use of those accounts in the last 48 hours in the hopes that there might be a statement or image to change the story of Election 2024 from Joe Biden and return it to Donald Trump.

Be careful what you wish for.

Before I say another word let me give a shout out to this photographer who as this video shows, ran to the point of danger to get this shot. He showed the same guts under fire that Trump did.

Almost as soon as this assassination attempt took place all over twitter leftists complaining about the assassin missing were trending.

It reached the point where leftist’s online were urging other leftists to shut the hell up.

Suddenly the media turned on a dime. The same media who has for weeks been telling everyone that if Trump is re-elected it would be the end of democracy as we know it, who said Trump must be stopped at all costs, who have compared him to Hitler and INSISTED the comparison was apt.

That same media were not only Shocked SHOCKED that this thing could happen but were doubly shocked SHOCKED that attendees were blaming them:

And of course those who had been calling literally calling him as bad as Hitler

suddenly called for calm and a return to civility.

and were very disappointed that some republicans were upset

Never mind that we had stuff like this for a long time that wasn’t called out by the MSM:

Scott Jennings on CNN who called them out after the debate AGAIN called them out on air.

And the Babylon Bee absolutely nailed it

So once again the media has to turn on a dime and go from:

Trump is the most dangerous person on the planet!

to

Can’t we all just get along?

while pretending they never suggested this was the case. As Ladd Ehlinger put it:

And by an odd coincidence Joy Reid of MSNBC has locked down her twitter account.

Make of that what you will.

I suspect Drew Holden will have a collection of the MSM’s Trump comments in a day or two but here was my question in reply to a George Conway tweet.

So let’s repeat my question and address it to the MSM:

When you kept insisting that Trump was a threat to Democracy, worse than Hitler, a person waiting to become dictator of America were you lying?

And if not then why do you:

Regret the attempted assassination and/or call for the rhetoric to be tempered?

I think we deserve an answer.
