Honey, I'm going to stand up to my boss at work today. I'm going to call out the way he tries to frighten us with his sorcerer's ways and make him look like a fool!

□ [“Muslim Brotherhood Infiltrating French Republic Institutions To Lead the Country to Sharia Law"]

This has been going on for 25 years!  A lot longer actually but I conveniently cite 9/11 as roughly the point where we became aware of it.  France knew about it then and they turned against the fight for freedom.  And, coincidentally enough, that's the problem they're having now.  So are their allies in the EU.  This is what you've done to yourself!

The Muslims were smart, they started from the ground up.  Just move in, reproduce, become part of the community.  At some point there's enough of them that they can start making demands and throwing around political influence.  As liberals, the French elites do everything they can to increase Muslim power so it's a vicious cycle with only one ending.

The fact that Macron and his staff are only now admitting it - and only that because this report was leaked in advance - shows what bad shape they're in.  He's demanding someone come up with a solution when the only one is right there.  Either get them out of your nation, whatever it takes, or give your nation to them permanently.  There is no third option.

And you don't have any way to defend yourself.  Your military is gone, your military equipment has been sent to Russia Ukraine, your citizens are unarmed.  Meanwhile the invaders have the Muslim Brotherhood's century of experience and funding from their fellow Muslim countries.  They're ready for this conflict and you've only gotten around to acknowledging that there is one.  Macron had better learn very quickly what other people have had to turn to in difficult situations like this and it's not leftism.

As if to show this point, nine countries have demanded the Council of Europe to do something about this invasion and the COE refuses.  They side with the invaders over European nations and in so doing, work to help sharia law prevail.  I don't know how long it will take - hopefully it'll happen by the end of the year - but I think this will break the EU into shreds.  If they won't protect Europe, then Europeans will just ditch them and save themselves.  The elites will probably look for ways to prevent that and the guillotine will be used.

□ [“Obama Judge Disregards Supreme Court Ruling After Ruling DOGE Takeover of Institute of Peace is Illegal"]

Second judge in a week to ignore a Supreme Court ruling.  Still no idea what the Supremes will actually do about this but they'll need to do something and soon.  I do suspect this was part of the plan that Trump and his staff had in place months ago.  I'd like to think they're doing this in conjunction with the Supremes, at least a majority of them, but we have no way to know that.

There is certainly a big chance they'll rule against Trump, a slightly smaller chance that they'll just side with these lower court judges who defy Trump.  If that happens, we're going to find out just how relevant judges are to society because a lot of people will see no reason to comply with their verdicts.  It doesn't help that they keep everything in overly-complicated legalese which makes no sense to any normal person, so why go along with it?

That's why I do hope the Trump administration has prepared for this.  As much as there is to complain about Trump, one thing that can't be denied is that they're hitting the left on every level.  Economy, taxes, military, the *woke* agenda, they're just going across the board.  Maybe I'm just forgetting them but I can't think of any actual loses so far.  There's things like the Epstein list which might as well be treated like a loss, I wouldn't blame you if you think it is, but even that has an outside chance of being part of a larger scheme.  And then there's things like this, where we can ask the Supreme Court how long they're going to be defied by the judiciary.  Time's up, what's your verdict?

□ [“House Oversight Committee Demands Transcribed Interview with Biden's Physician Kevin O’Connor"]

Like everything else, this *may* go somewhere.  O'Connor is the guy who said Biden was in great health just a year ago and totally qualified to run for POTUS.  That doesn't seem to have aged too well, but neither has Biden.  If you really want to pretend he was POTUS then things like his health are a big deal, so why was he surrounded by blatant liars?

This includes other parts of the job.  They're going after other staff members who were involved in covering this up.  This may be why the audio of Robert Hur's 2023 interview was finally released, as evidence that Biden wasn't someone who should be allowed out in public, much less in any position of authority.

People are going to start turning against each other, putting out info to save themselves.  One of Jill Biden's former press secretaries has just talked about all the lies the Biden administration put out, from his mental problems to his pet dogs biting the Secret Service.  I don't know if it's the same guy, but there's also reports of a 'whistleblower' naming the people who used Biden's autopen to sign documents.  I suspect it's not the same guy, there's just more people who realize they'll be punished less if they start spilling the beans.

Congress has reportedly started sending out subpoenas for these people to come speak under oath.  That'll be interesting, will they actually obey or can they defy Congress?  If they do show up, will the hearings be public?  The people have a right to know what's going on.  But there's also the fact that a lot of this will be used against Trump, just because they can.

□ [“Tapper Lets It Slip That Coming Clean on Biden Is Really About Getting Trump"]

Notice how leftists have suddenly started complaining that Trump is old, which he is, and senile which he obviously isn't.  I can't see how they'd have planned all this as an excuse to go after Trump with it but it's certainly a good back-up plan.  That probably won't work very well but a bigger concern is how many spies they still have in the executive branch.  Definitely something to watch out for.

Might as well jump with another when I saw her standing there.

□ [“Cheers:   Norm tribute"]

I'm guessing the recent death of George Wendt has a lot of people reminiscing about his role on Cheers, and probably the rest of the show as well.  I actually started a bit early, for a while now I've had a particular episode in mind and wanted to watch it.  Since I no longer have my video tapes and VCR - and haven't had a television in 20 years - I got it on DVD last week, but it was fun.  And of course with Wendt gone, I've seen any number of clips with Norm.

Didn't notice this much attention when Kirstie Alley died a couple years ago.  She'd had a career elsewhere, although Cheers was obviously her biggest success.  But the whole point of Norm was that he's always there, so this would just be more memorable.  Wendt did appear in every single episode of the 11-year run.

But although I've seen very little of the series recently, I must admit the bits I have seen generally stand out.  Maybe not brilliant, but quite fun.  A youtube clip has about 15 minutes of the first episode which worked very well as a quick little story.  Didn't need any more than that but it was a good set-up for what the series became.

Not planning on rewatching the rest of the series, even the other episodes on that DVD didn't have any appeal, but it's surprising the fond memories I've had from the last few days after Norm finally left.  It's probably one of the last examples of a tv show actually becoming a central part of society.  Afterwards, tv was breaking into too many pieces for large numbers of people to follow.  Even the immediate follow-up hits on NBC, Seinfeld and Friends, I literally never watched them and I was still in the age-group they were aimed at.

Pop culture has only gotten more divided since then.  But it is a warm feeling to recall a time where you knew everybody else's name.  And could drink heavily every night with no negative consequences.  Those were the days...
