From Da Tech Guy, Review: Season 6 of Peaky Blinders

That's a wrap for Peaky Blinders. Find out what I think of it at Da Tech Guy, Review: Season 6 of Peaky Blinders.

The Band & Ronnie Hawkins - Who Do You Love

Late last month the great Ronnie Hawkins died in Canada. An immense talent, but the Arkansan wasn't blessed with great career timing. Rockabilly was on the wane in the late 1950s when his career started, so he headed to Canada where it was still popular. His band, the Hawks, had Levon Holm as its drummer. 

Slowly, except for Helms, the members of the Hawks migrated back to the USA, replaced one by one by enormously talented Canadians. The newer Hawks, after breaking with Hawkins, became the Band, which arguably invented the Americana genre of music. 

Hawkins was a powerful singer and a great dancer--the Hawks were a great bar band and had Hawkins been at the peak of his career in the early 1980s--the music video era--his well-deserved superstardom would have been achieved. YouTube and TikTok would have been very kind to "the Hawk."

Ronnie was one of the few highlights in that 1980s big-budget movie bomb, Heaven's Gate.

But Hawkins great gift was eying talent. He also discovered Canadian rocker Pat Travers.

Here is Hawkins with the Band from The Last Waltz bellowing out "Who Do You Love."

Rest in peace.

Watters: New White House press secretary really bad at her job

Karine Jean-Pierre is so bad that she makes Joe Biden look good. Okay, no one is that bad, but Pepe Le Pew really is awful at her job. 

Just like Merrick Garland, Kamala Harris, Janet Yellen, and so many more.

How a Latina Republican's victory in Texas primary flipped the media narrative

Leftist Democrats and their media allies are scratching their heads over how an Hispanic Republican woman, Mayra Flores, who bragged in a television ad that her husband is a US Border Patrol officer, won a special House election in a district that is over 80 percent Hispanic. 

The leftist narrative is wrong. 

Obama economist Steve Rattner: Biden’s $2 trillion stimulus is a key “culprit" of inflation

It's called Bideninflation because Joe Biden caused it.

  

CNN says Dems "wonder" about Biden's cognitive ability: "Is he tired? Or is there something else there?"

It appears that the electronic wing of the Democrat Party, the mainstream media, is beginning to distance himself from senile Joe Biden. Van Jones, a former communist, poses some questions.

After 90 years with HQ in Illinois, Caterpillar moving it to Texas

Caterpillar plant, Peoria Heights, in 2010

Last month Boeing announced that it's moving its headquarters to Virgina. Now Caterpillar, which has had its headquarters in Illinois since 1930, announced transferring its HQ to Texas.

ILL-inois just leaves a bad taste in many people's mouths. The Prairie State's reputation for rampant corruption and high taxes goes back decades, now Illinois is notorious for out-of-control crime and unsustainable public-pension worker debt--both at the state and local level.

One day we'll leave. Hopefully soon.

From the Peoria Journal-Star:

Caterpillar Inc. announced plans Tuesday to move its global headquarters from Deerfield, Ill., to the company's existing office in Irving, Texas.

"We believe it's in the best strategic interest of the company to make this move, which supports Caterpillar's strategy for profitable growth as we help our customers build a better, more sustainable world," said Caterpillar Chairman and CEO Jim Umpleby.

Caterpillar has had a presence in Texas since the 1960s, the company said in the news release. Illinois retains the largest concentration of Caterpillar employees anywhere in the world, with 12,000 in the Peoria region alone as of 2018.

But those central Illinois Cat jobs will slowly trickle down to Texas. I've seen this movie before. Texas has a business-friendly government, gasoline sells a buck less down there, and there is no state income tax.

Biden advisor Gina McCarthy: Content critical of green "transition" must be censored on social media

The winner of an essay contest, N. A. Halkides, composed this immortal sentence, "Inside every liberal is a totalitarian screaming to get out." 

Halkides is so right. 

For evidence I present to you Gina McCarthy, Joe Biden's national climate advisor.

The Biden administration's Ministry of Truth lives.

Summer of Joy: 6 killed and at least 28 others wounded over weekend in Chicago

Two months ago Mayor Lori Lightfoot said that this year there would be a "Summer of Joy" in Chicago. 

Over this past weekend six people were shot to death in Chicago, four on the South Side and two on the West Side. At least 28 others were wounded. 

Hey Jackass! is keeping track of Summer of Joy killings. So far this season there have been 41 homicides and 163 wounded. 

From Da Tech Guy: “Centrist uprising” against Boudin in San Francisco shows how extreme the “Ultra Left” Democrats are

Good riddance to bad trash. From my post at Da Tech Guy: “Centrist uprising” against Boudin in San Francisco shows how extreme the “Ultra Left” Democrats are.
