□ [“'Fake News' – Mike Pence Lashes Out After His 'That’s Not My Concern' Comment Goes Viral"]

This is basically the sort of thing that completely ends a politician's career.  We don't live in a normal world anymore so I'm not making any promises, but that's what's happening to Pence.

Tucker Carlson said “You’re running for President.  You are distressed that Ukrainians don’t have enough American tanks?  Every city in the U.S. has become much worse over the past three years and it’s visible.  Our economy has degraded, suicide rate has jumped, crime has exponentially increased and yet your concern is that the Ukrainians, country that most people can’t find on a map who’ve received tens of billions of US tax dollars don’t have enough tanks!  I think it’s a fair question to ask, where’s the concern for the United States?”

Pences's response was “That’s not my concern.  Tucker, I’ve heard that routine from you before but that’s not my concern!”

Just on the face of it, that's death for a politician.  You don't get listed a bunch of problems being faced by the people whose votes you're trying to get, and then your first words are "that's not my concern."  This tells us that you are not on the side of the people whose votes your trying to get.  It's just bad form.

But now Pence's excuse is that his words were taken out of context.  He was *actually* responding to the idea that getting American tanks to Ukraine was his concern.  He completely ignored the next several sentences coming out of the interviewers mouth, he was only focusing on American tanks for Ukraine so he could say that wasn't his concern.  A decent politician would have been outraged by what's happening to the American economy, the suicide rate, crime and our tax dollars going to some other nation, but he didn't have anything to say about that.  He was just waiting for the opportunity to say "that's not my concern."

You can take Pence's words totally seriously and see what he's willing to ignore just to say how little American tanks to Ukraine mean to him, but that's not good.  Pence wants us to take that seriously.  I don't know where he gets the idea that he has a chance to win the primaries and he probably won't quit immediately but I think before long he'll realize that it's just a delusion.  The only reason he'll continue is if he hopes to get a good seat at Biden's reinauguration.

□ [“NYC Theater Company That Staged Julius Caesar Play as Trump Assassination Now Laying Off 19 Percent of Its Staff"]

Why don't they just put Biden in the role?  That would get a lot of publicity and could increase ticket sales.  What's so hard about it?  Are there people you're too scared to go after and Donald Trump just wasn't in that category?  Funny how that works.

Well, they seem to be reliant on doners who have not increased the amount of money they hand over, but for some strange reason, the costs just keep getting higher.  Things were so much cheaper when Trump was in charge, that's why you opposed it.  And now you have to get rid of all those wonderful actors.

Well, they probably aren't firing the actors, those are the ones who bring in the crowds.  Nobody buys theater tickets to see what some assistant set-designer came up with.  They're lower-class people anyway, you don't need them around.  Maybe there's lots of other popular theater companies in NYC who would just grab them immediately.  Or they'll have to find a real job, who cares?

Maybe this will give the theater more excuse to do *woke* plays.  That's all you need to bring in an audience.

House Committee Accuses Fauci and Other Health Officials of Unlawfully Granting $26 Billion – Fauci Never Reappointed as NIH Director
July 16, 2023

The new Tom Cruise movie has made almost as much in five days as Indiana Jones did in the same time frame, but Ant-Man 3 had made that much in its first two days.  In the last decade or so, international results have been at least as important if not more and I don't track those, just because it's too much work.  I can get why the studios break up each country's day-to-day box office but most of us would be fine if the websites just list daily international.  Shouldn't be hard to do that, wouldn't need much more than an Excel sheet.

Anyway, I still think this was times for the Hollywood strikes currently going on and I now think the point is to break down the giant media companies.  It's basically anti-capitalism, big rich companies must be destroyed, no matter how much they agree with and fund the people on strike.  I really don't see the point to A.I. so that's at least a sensible opposition, but all these actors and writers are doing is giving those companies more excuse to use A.I.  They already own the property.

We've seen this going back for decades in comics, where the companies automatically own any art drawn or character created, just as we see with Ant-Man, the Flash, and all those other box-office attractions.  Marvel and DC did agree that the original art itself - DC was more willing to make that decision than Marvel was - but they owned the work.  They paid for it, they hired people to make it.  They legally created the characters and it's just the writer/artist's name on the book.

At least in comics, it's cheap and convenient enough to just make your own stories and characters.  Face it, change the name, the costume and a few details, you can rip off a superhero quite easily.  It's even easier if you dare to do a comic story that isn't about men in tights punching people.  But the company ownership, the characters being all that matters and the easily-replaced employees seems to be what Hollywood has been building up to, and then A.I. becomes a factor.

Don't know what any of this means but it does seem relevant for some reason.

□ [“Young Men in Ukraine Hide in Fear of Being Sent to Die: 'My Friends Were Trained for 5 Days and Sent to Donetsk'"]

It's going slowly but the truth is starting to come out about Ukraine.  Not just the biolabs or the funneling money from the west, but about the fact that they've basically gotten rid of all their men.  If they want to keep this war going, they're going to need to start drafting another gender.  Maybe they'll see which genders don't need drugs and surgery to justify their chosen sex.

Then again, I've also seen that they're having problems getting through the minefields the Russians have set up in front of their forces, maybe the other genders would be good at clearing those out.  If the highly-publicized offensive move really gets started.  But of course Ukraine says there's only two genders, it's their supporters who say there are dozens more.  They never seem to quibble about that for some reason.

I've also seen multiple news sources from both sides listing the casualties and Ukraine's is much higher than Russia's.  Just think of how many Ukrainians might still be alive if they didn't get US weapons, vehicles and taxpayer money.  But they're willing to die for that.  Or at least the government is willing to have them die for it and as we all know, the people don't get a choice in the matter.

□ [“'Morality Police' Return to Streets of Iran in New Campaign to Force Islamic Dress on Women"]

Ok, I'm missing something, when did Iran *stop* forcing women to wear cloth that protects them from an evil virus?  I thought that was the point!  Slightly more seriously, I have wondered if that's part of what's been going on in the quiet parts of WWIII.  Whatever's been going on in Iran has been happening since the US took over Iraq, maybe even before, possibly as far back as 1979.

But it might also be just another batch of riots like we've seen all over the world these days.  It wouldn't be surprising if most countries are having riots, we're just not hearing about them.  South America, Africa, China and Russia, it might be happening everywhere without us knowing.  I *think* we'd be told if they're going on in the US or Britain but who knows?

Anyway, that's another example of why I think there's been a long-range plan.  So far, I haven't gone along with conspiracy theories about 9/11 - I have my own conspiracy theories, thank you very much - but I've always thought this was something we'd been working on since then.  GWB, Obama, Trump and now Obama's puppet have just been going along with whatever that plan is.  You can make a convincing argument that it's been going on longer than that like I just did a couple paragraphs ago, but I dunno...

Then again, maybe it's just because Iran and Iraq are among two of the oldest continuous civilizations in human history and something about *that* is what's been driving all this.  I do think that's one of the reasons we chose Iraq to invade, along with Saddam and his relationship to Syria and the rest of it.
