□ [“Nation’s Top Law Firms Send Letter to Elite Universities: They Won’t Recruit from Colleges That Tolerate Antisemitism"]

This is interesting.  I don't quite get the point, but if it's true, this is a very positive move.  Even better is that colleges are also getting the same message from their wealthy donors.  As large leftist institution, the only way they can learn is if the money is shut down, both to them and their graduates who go out into the world promoting Jew-hatred.

I'm skeptical that it's the Jew-hatred itself.  It sounds like it's more the last straw after all these decades.  The letter specifically opposes all the other leftist forms of bigotry so it's not like they've suddenly realized they were going the wrong direction all this time.  Not to mention the fact that the students are all siding with nazis, you'd think someone would have noticed that before.

For the billionaires, maybe there's some tax reason and they'd never paid that much attention before.  At least the legal firms make sense, they don't want lawyers who think this is a good way to get what they want.  They're all close enough to the elite, this can't be new to them, and everybody else seeing the world on fire is already thinking of what we can do to survive, and these people are just getting around to it now?  Wasn't this the natural next step after the Supreme Court declared race-based college admissions to be unconstitutional?

So will the left support the students rebelling?  Probably not, it's not something the left has ever claimed to support.  But it does look like the teens are starting to get fed up with these problems too.  The big worry is that they're fully indoctrinated into leftism but at least this is a good start.  They don't know anything, they're kids, but they can see that this isn't working, and that's not counting the attacks by women-with-penises.

There's also the way their whole school system supports those rapists above their victims, even as they get paid to talk about fair and open-minded they are to everything.  Thanks to puberty, they're finally learning what genders really are and the people in charge are pushing this nonsense.  I just saw some other article, don't recall what institution, but it's also being taught that the correct answer in mathematics is racist.

So it's a good sign that somebody's willing to do something.  So why aren't their parents?  Why aren't there any teachers in schools who refuse to put up with this insanity?  This is a very small sign of hope, that basic humanity still exists in the young and will inevitably turn against the tyranny, but that's what our rulers did when they were young.  We need more hope than that.

□ [“'We Will Attack US Bases, They Must Pay the Price' – Hezbollah Warns Israel of Pending Attacks']

This was always part of the plan.  Muslim nations and organizations are standing up to destroy Israel.  They're doing it intentionally, I'm still ambivalent on whether or not it was part of our plans when setting up the 'war on terror.'  Even if it was part of our plans, who made the actual decisions?  I should add that there's also a rational argument against there ever being such a plan, because too many people would have learned about this over the years.  You think the people who appointed Biden don't have full access to all the secrets?  Not likely.

It's interesting that there's no hesitation to adding the US to the enemies list, and presumably the rest of the western world.  Part of that's just the nature of Islam, but from the western world's perspective, there's supposed to be an actual declaration of war.  We've had the concept of a nation defined since 1648 with the Treaty of Westphalia and as much as the left has been trying to tear that apart, it's still there, and even that was built on four centuries of people who knew what the Magna Carta meant.

But they're just going to get everybody together and win, it'll be easy.  Meanwhile Muslim female Representative Rashida Tlaib is literally accusing Joe Biden of genocide for not making Israel stop firing.  This is what we've been reduced to, where she's immediately turning on the man in charge, thinking anything she says will be considered relevant.  Just like a woman.

□ [“Netanyahu Rebukes US, Declares No Pause and No Fuel Before Hostages are Released"]

That's fine, liberals will support the banning of fossil fuels, but I'm more curious about the food supply.  We were told a couple weeks ago that Israel would be cutting that off too, and that's a much bigger requirement than gasoline.  Now maybe the reports were incorrect and Israel never stopped providing food, or maybe the media just doesn't want to mention that.  Wouldn't it be nice if we could actually trust news reports?

Keep in mind, Israel doesn't produce much.  They've done an amazing job with what their land can produce but they are still massive importers of most things civilized nations take as a given.  They're also one of the few nations in the region which doesn't produce fossil fuels.  It's yet another reason for them to make every possible foreign connection with anybody who will work with them.  But our elites expect them to start providing the Philistines with everything?  That would be like Congress giving all of us a pay raise instead of just doing that for themselves.

And this is another sign of how the war is getting ready to expand, nations that produce fuel are threatening to shut it off against anyone who supports Israel, or at least the US, which is the same thing.  As bad as the economy has already been for the last few years, it's going to get much worse.  And then the real war will start.

Even though I see almost none of their new products, I'm still focusing on Hollywood's current problems.  The actors are still on strike and their poor members are really having problems these days, as are the poor people who are needed to make movies but can't work if there are no actors.  But they're all poor, so the union leaders are fine with that.  However, the studios have said if there's no deal reached now, they'll just quit for the rest of the year.

Which is probably a good thing, they haven't been having much in the way of successes.  There's been very few hit movies this year and some of those that were successful were just very cheap to make.  There's also not much in the way of merchandising or other ways to make a profit, so that's not helping.  So far streaming hasn't been that useful, the public can just watch what they want on youtube.

Disney seems to be in the worst shape.  I'm not sure they've had any hits all year and they've had a number of expensive bombs.  It is starting to look like at least a few Hollywood higher-ups have had enough of 'woke' propaganda, although even if that's true, it'll probably be a long time before that ever becomes relevant.

The most attention goes to the utter failure of the Marvel movies and Lucasfilm.  They were successful when Disney took over and now they're virtually worthless.  But Disney can't give them up, they'd have a policy that these works might be valuable twenty or thirty years from now.  But they can't improve on anything either.  I don't have a clue why I'm interested in this, but it is fascinating.
