□ [“Humiliation Ensues for Joe Biden when His Teleprompter ‘Loses Electricity’"]

He actually made a public appearance, that's rare these days.  And it's not just a pointless event, he goes out to lie about his economic greatness.  Basically everyone has realized that Trump's already taken office but at least a few people want to pretend Biden is still relevant.  This is a guy who dropped out of the 2008 primaries on opening day so unless you want to pretend all the votes in 2008 and 2012 were for him, he hasn't been relevant for a long time.

Unnamed Democrat staff and officials are pointing out that there's no leadership.  There never was, what took them so long to notice?  At least Biden sometimes pretends to be POTUS, nobody's asking where Harris is or why she's not involved.  But who would Biden turn to?  The people who threw him out of the race less than five months ago?  He'd be more likely to turn to Trump.

I do wonder what Trump said to him when they met shortly after the election.  How upfront did Trump need to be that Biden needed to go away and he'd take care of everything?  I still think things like Hunter's pardon was discussed, it's why Biden seems to have been so happy since.  He's a senile old man, he'd be happy watching the same Three Stooges skit thirty times a day, but you get my point.  Trump has moved in quickly and Biden has to spend the rest of his life being Joe Biden.

□ [“Black Staffers Allege Mistreatment By Harris Campaign"]

What, did she treat them like Democrats always treat blacks?  Did she treat them like women always treat men?  Or were they too busy complaining about how racist their employer was to do their job, which was [checks] to win an election?  It's another example of how leftists refuse to actually look at what went wrong and you can't solve a problem until you admit you have one.

I'm not going to look into it, but I would assume the Harris campaign at least met the minimum requirements for DEI, if not exceeded them.  As DEI supporters will tell you, DEI is the most important thing.  If hiring white men is the only way to win an election then you're just going to have to lose elections and Harris' own employees are evidence of that.

If you *don't* go for DEI, there are more options to pursue.  You might treat gender and skin color as irrelevant and look for competence.  If you insist on counting gender and skin color, you would start noting which ones are more or less competent, and accept the results.  Of course leftists can't do that, they wouldn't be leftists if they did.

Employees in a presidential campaign should not be focusing on their own political beliefs, they are supposed to support the candidate.  James Carville was just bitching about that, but it also ignores that the point of leftism is to impose that these individuals want upon everyone else.  They want to see themselves in Harris, Biden, Obama, Hillary, etc.  This is the mental illness that makes leftism what it is.

□ [“Trump Trolls Disgraced Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Gives Him a New ‘Job Title’"]

He refers to Trudeau multiple times as "governor," as in 'chief executive of a US state.'  Trump had already said Canada and Mexico should just be US states - I'd rather they be territories - and he's going to keep going on in with this.  What would their economies be if they didn't have the big next door neighbor handling everything?

I don't know if it was the North American Free Trade Agreement - initiated by Ronald Reagan in his 1979 campaign speeches - or some hidden agreement among the elites, but I've always gotten the impression that the point was to combine the three nations, effectively a North American version of what the European Communities were doing, before the organization became the EU.  The citizens are kept ignorant but to those in charge, the union is already in place.  If I'm right and that's what they've done, Trump is clearly making use of that in public.  What would Canada and Mexico do about it?  Their only option would be to admit that's the truth, which wouldn't make Canadians and Mexicans happy.

Not sure how much connection Canada really has to any other nations, although culturally they're part of Britain and France.  Mexico is essentially the 'gateway to the north' for all of South America so they've got a lot of problems to deal with even without native Mexicans.  They've been able to spend decades ignoring that and taking advantage of the US but, at least for a short time, Trump will be able to shut that off.

□ [“Zegler Bombs Again | Y2K Movie Loses Big Time Amid Snow White Backlash!"]

Still entertained by the failures of Disney, to the point where I even notice the chick playing Snow White in the live action remake has a new movie out now.  And it's a total bomb.  It was a very cheap movie to make, $15 million, her salary was probably the biggest single expense, but it barely made $2 million on a three-day opening weekend.

No idea how much it was marketed, I'm not the target audience for any movie, but it sounds like she was really the only selling point.  No real adventure or drama, no other real celebrities people might want to see.  This is demonstrating how this chick can sell movie tickets and, well, she can't.  Better hope Snow White has something else to work with, given the many hundreds of millions of dollars already wasted on it.

I'm guessing that Disney - or someone at Disney, or someone somewhere else - set this up to show the *woke* Hollywood movement how damaging they are to all the product.  We also see this happening with George Clooney, Rob Reiner and other rich old leftists.  They all seem to be falling back on some rhetoric about how *actors* are the ones everyone must pay attention to, ignore your friends and family.

I'm always using the term 'cult' to describe this, and it may not be accurate, but that's what it seems like.  Decades of Hollywood building up some attempt at a religion and this is the idol-worship they've invented for their best-known celebrities.  This is probably why acting was always considered very low on the moral scale.
