I would trade all my wealth and all the respect I get from my friends, family and co-workers, in exchange for that cat to stop meowing incessantly at 3 in the f*ing morning!

□ [“DNC Chair Announces Democrats Lunching a Shadow Government Called the ‘People’s Cabinet’"]

This will be the up-to-date version of the Confederacy, including that they've got all the blacks with them.  Whether they intend it or not, it's going to be conflict.  They'll have enough supporters that they'll need to organize, which will require actual rules, and paying taxes.  They're already willing to attack whoever they self-identify as the enemy, just step that up one or two notches, and there you go.

I'm skeptical how much it will actually work.  As leftists, they can't produce anything, so they'll be very limited in what they can do.  If anything, they'll be more open to foreign control, whether from China, Islam or whoever.  There will also be internal conflict, as everybody decides they're in charge, which will be easy to do because they have no elections.  The DNC just chose a Presidential candidate without needing to get votes, they aren't going to stop there.

They just show their limitations by spending the last several years accusing their enemies of "insurrection," then there they are doing their own insurrection.  These are the sort of people we're facing, that's the extent of their imagination.  Maybe we'll be lucky and they'll just spend all their time on the internet watching videos of how great they are and the rest of us will never hear from them again.

□ [“Supreme Court 5-4 Allows Trump Admin to Terminate Teaching Grants That Violate DEI Policy"]

This is a good sign.  This is from one of Trump's executive orders, not just an established policy of his administration.  The former is more relevant, but either way, the verdict does show the Supremes siding with the executive branch.  This will make it harder for them to claim the Chief Executive doesn't have authority to cut grants like this.

The other noteworthy aspect is that Roberts sided with the liberals.  Of course this increases the suspicion that he's always been a leftist, or at least a puppet of the liberal elites.  It's even possible that he's actually a mole, always looking like that precisely to sucker the other leftist justices as we see here.  That's just speculation, I'll assume he's guilty of everything else too, but I wanted to keep the possibility open.

Anyway, it's the executive orders that are strengthened here.  This had quickly bounced up from a US District Judge to the Court of Appeals to the Supreme Court, so now other judges have to consider that when making their decisions.  Or they have to be more blatant about ignoring it.  As far as I know, it's never been an issue of what happens when the POTUS ignores the courts and the Supremes must know that they'll be at the center of this.

□ [“‘Trying to Dig Myself Out of a Hole’ – Barack Obama Says He’s In a 'Deep Deficit' with Wife"]

He doesn't say how he got in a hole, so this is just one statement with no meaning or context.  That said, something must be going on between them or he wouldn't have made this point public in the first place.  Maybe it's just a signal for those 'in the know.'  Obama is supposedly working against Trump, so he needs to say things in public once in a while.  Then again, I still think that's what the two of them were laughing about at Jimmy Carter's funeral.

Having been out of the White House longer than she was ever in it, Michelle needs to find something to do.  She can't give any more daughters to Harvey Epstein or live through the Bidens, what else is there?  She's trying to compensate but that's not really working.  She's only famous for the ring on her finger and that doesn't go very far, especially not in leftist society.  Her podcast isn't getting much attention, most of the audience is probably media or government paid to listen just in case she says something relevant, which she doesn't.

At the very least, this is another example of leftists unable to build anything.  Obama and Michelle could pretend to have a happy marriage as long as it was useful, but that time is past.  Until there's evidence otherwise, I'll still assume Michelle is a biological female, so she's probably just deluded about the gay guy she attached herself up to.  Meanwhile Obama can't do more than suck up to her, which just drives her away.  There may be more conspiracy going on, given that they're at the top of the social ladder, but that's probably the basic explanation of what's going on with them.

□ [“Disney Cries 'Uncle,' Cancels Live-Action Tangled Movie After Snow White's Box Office Bomb"]

That's not crying "uncle," that's just making a sensible decision that is obvious at this point.  I'd never heard of the original movie, it was a 2010 cartoon version of Rapunzel.  I had to look it up, hadn't they already done a movie before?  Apparently not, so they had to rush to a live-action remake and were ready to spend $260 million.

Right there is a reason to stop it in its tracks and fire anyone who thought this was a good idea.  Inflation is the only reason to justify any movie costing more than $100 million and even that should still be the rare exception.  I'm old enough to remember when Terminator 2 was a big deal for that reason.  But this is just insanity on Disney's part.

More likely, it's an attempt to finally stop CEO Bob Iger.  He's still out there right now insisting that Disney has no political agenda, yet DEI is still the top priority, and doesn't even see the contradiction.  He's still waiting for some imaginary audience to start making these movies turn a profit and nobody around him is permitted to point out that it hasn't worked so far.  He gets paid $30 to 40 million a year and is obviously quite rich, he could at least give that money back to Disney if he believes in this so much.  But he doesn't.

Two weeks after release, Snow White is finally close to making $150 million globally.  I'm also old enough to remember when that much box office was a guaranteed success, but this is the 21st century.  I don't know if Disney itself will be destroyed by this failure but they just digging the hole much deeper.

There's already talk that they might sell some aspects of Star Wars or Marvel, probably just the movie rights in the hopes that someone else will know what to do, since the company obviously doesn't.  I still wouldn't be surprised if Warner Bros. goes for it to set up a Justice League/Avengers movie, but I'm not sure what other options there would be.  Nobody can fix this mess, especially with Iger and his ilk still there.
