After what I had to go through today, I need to just spend a few hours writing about current events! That'll make the day better.

Been working on something else this evening.  Let's see if I can get any writing done.

□ [“Globalist Media Urges Trump To Engage Russia and Keep Ukraine Out of Initial Peace Talks"]

They are so dedicated to supporting Ukraine as they've done for the last three years that they don't want Ukraine involved in the peace talks.  That's not how peace talks are supposed to work.  The nations at war are the ones who are supposed to have peace talks.  Why would the US be the one to talk to Russia about ending the war?  Oh.

Part of the issue is NATO.  Obviously Russia can't accept Ukraine joining, even if NATO was willing to lower its standards so that was possible.  But the other Europeans in NATO aren't willing to go up against Russia unless the US is in charge and doing all the work and this really doesn't make the rest of NATO look relevant in any meaningful way.

Then there's the problem of Ukraine being involved.  Russia and the US would need to be extremely wary of each other for any negotiation to be possible and Ukraine has no incentive to go along with that.  They could give out any secret they want for any reason, making the negotiations worthless.  They'd be willing to leak why the US is so relevant in this.  It's not like they have much left to lose.

This is what Trump is being left with.  There's probably a reason Russia only invades Ukraine when Democrats are in charge.  Even worse, it's possible the left is just pushing this as another excuse to attack Trump.  If he pulls off some successful negotiations, they'll whine that he's just Putin's pawn.

Russia is a nuclear power, an issue that must be considered.  They're also building alliances around the world with BRICS, including over half the population, very few of whom are white.  But Russia's really not more than a regional power.  They've given up on Syria - although it's not clear if they were totally defeated or just not interested enough in keeping power there - and wouldn't be able to get far in the rest of Eurasia for similar reasons.  Paris in 1815 and Berlin in 1945 are the best they've ever gotten and they probably won't do that again any time soon.

□ [“Liberal Veteran Claims Trump Will Be Arrested December 20th - Mob Will Storm D.C. on Inauguration Day - Trump Must Step Down if Arrest Doesn’t Happen"]

So we'll find out in a few days if this coocoo has any authority.  The cause of arrest is regarding Executive Order 13848 which Trump signed in 2018.  It has something to do with foreign interference and seems to be considering elections, but dude, it's an executive order, it's required to be too boring to be readable.

The nutter is wacky enough that one can almost hope he's serious, just as a way to finally get things started.  But maybe he really has an... "army"... ready to take over DC if he doesn't get what he wants.  Wouldn't that be something you want to watch?  90% of DC is Democrat, what are they going to do about it, this guy's on their side!

Things are still going to get worse.  Maybe we'll be lucky and Trump has plans in place, but Civil War 2.0 is still underway, so maybe this guy is citing December 20 for some other reason.  I do hope it turns out to be an amusingly ignorable event, but it's going to be growing anyway.  We'll just have to see what reaction other leftists have to this.

□ [“Disney Axes Transgender Storyline From Pixar’s Win or Lose Series – Claims to be Respecting Parents’ Wishes"]

They aren't removing the character, just any details about specifically being trans.  This means they'll double down on the code words used for those 'in the know.'  Not sure if this is a big deal or something that's not worth fighting over.  I'm in the audience of those who cover Disney out of curiosity, it's not like I'm an actual customer.

This does indicate a serious change, that they're going to stop deliberately pushing this agenda.  That said, it's possible Pixar basically made that decision themselves and Disney just didn't stop them.  Disney's a large ship, they can't just turn around on the spot.  But they are getting desperate.  Little if anything on the horizon looks like it has much of a chance, then there's all the definite expensive bombs getting closer and closer.

Marvel has no place to go, Star Wars is a walking corpse, the characters that built Disney are totally ignored, all the other business disasters, but the people in charge won't leave.  They had to have been convinced the election could be stolen for Harris so they have no back-up plans.  There must be a sizeable number of executives that believe they just have to double their efforts, but if they can't do it, no one else can either.  They don't believe the brand is poison so they want everyone else to partake in it, they don't need to ask if we want it.

□ [“'Joe Biden is Like Dead… He’ll be Dead in a Year' White House National Security Advisor Says Biden 'Can’t Say a Sentence'"]

Another O’Keefe Media Group video, sending a secret journalist out on a date with a government official who hopes to get lucky.  Obviously they can't show the footage of the date, so we don't what gender they self-identify as.  I suspect they're female, I don't think homosexual men need to show off that much on a date, but I don't watch too many of the videos so I dunno.

Based on the anecdotes mentioned here, I'd guess he's exaggerating about being dead in a year.  He does cover Biden's senile idiocy [idiotic senility?] with various tales.  Someone who acts like this isn't capable of being in charge of anything, and even people who only knew him from the occasional phone call could see how bad he was a year or two ago.  So who's been in charge?

Moreover, the people around Biden would have to deal with each other to get anything done, rather than maintain security by only telling their boss.  So they'd all be in on each other's top secret issues.  This isn't how a 'need to know' is determined.  My clearance was only 'secret' and that's just because I worked with people who had 'top secret,' so I'm just speculating, but this is an example of how our enemies have weakened this country.

Even though it's Joe Biden and he deserves every bit of suffering he gets, it's still repulsive that they would abuse an old man like this.  The level of people we have conducting our national security is horrifying and there's a lot more of them all the way down the line.  That's not counting the foreign influences they would have.  These are the sort of people driving the 'new world order,' they probably aspire to grow up to be the new Joe Biden.

□ [“AOC Snubbed in Quest to Land Major Committee Leadership Post"]

She'd been getting a bit of press recently for trying to take this position.  Then Nancy Pelosi, who's still in the hospital far away, made some calls and suddenly the old man gets the job without a problem.  It's like decades of experience actually mean something compared to checking all the boxes of DEI hires.  Or maybe Nancy just doesn't trust women.  She used to be one.

Partially AOC is trying to move up in the party, especially now that there's some openings.  Partially she just thinks she's as qualified as Kamala Harris.  I'm sure there's also the leftists seeing a problem and looking for ways to protect themselves.  The House Oversight Committee has some authority over the government, so it would probably be used against Trump and anyone else they don't like, so she'd want credit for that.

But the fact that Nancy could impose this, even in her condition, indicates that she's still a threat and hasn't decided to give up power yet.  It might not be a problem for the time being, it's Christmas and Congress is being paid to do nothing, but that could change in January.  Or they might be getting these fights underway now while nobody's paying attention, especially the younglings against the old farts.
