Hey, can I borrow a title for this post until payday?

□ [“Iranian Ayatollah Issues Fatwa Calling for Muslims to Assassinate Trump"]

This is going to cause some problems for leftists.  On the one hand, yeah, they totally support Iran doing that.  But on the other hand, they can't be open about it, and staying silent actually gives them time to think.  Do they really want to support Iran?  And either way, who's going to get the credit?  Muslims who submit to the will of God or the left who's just whined for years and waited for someone else to do the work?  The left has supported Iranian Muslim leaders before and it didn't work out so well.

A similar effect will be found among national leaders.  Trump took away their nukes and this is the reaction?  This shows that Iran is not the powerhouse they present themselves as and they don't have any better options.  Don't know how likely it is but it's possible this will increase conflict between the ayatollah and the government and military leaders who have to actually keep an eye on what's going on.

Notice that the war hasn't gotten around to starting yet, almost like the leftists complaining Trump was a warmonger didn't know what they were talking about.  They were trying to set up a peace protest at the White House yesterday and had to cancel it because of the ceasefire.  I'm still skeptical that it's working but we sure haven't heard of Iran or Israel attacking each other in almost a week.

Never heard of Azealia Banks and to the extent her statement is coherent, it seems very leftist.  She's already toured Israel and says she won't go back because racism!!!! so it's safe to assume where she stands.  That said, this probably wasn't her idea but it's still a good move.  Don't go out of your way to agitate your customers.  I'll assume her management told her to do this but she's not going to argue.

There's always the long-standing rule that entertainers should not get into politics, but it goes even further.  We saw that with Bud Lite and all the megacompanies following that example, just don't get involved in this nonsense.  Your customers will find somewhere else to go, you won't find any new customers.  We've seen this with Disney for the last few years, they ditched their old audience and no one will want to be treated the same way.

Then there's this mentality that insists on taking the IPs "someplace new."  That's not how you build a franchise that lasts for decades.  There's a reason we're not celebrating New Coke's 30th anniversary.  For that matter, none of these performers are going to perform in Gaza.  They're already going to be tied to that for the rest of their career and not even show the courage to go that far.

The point is that Banks and her peeps realize that if they tie themselves down to whatever's happening today, they'll be forgotten tomorrow.  That's most-likely what will happen anyway - just the nature of this line of work - but why increase those chances?  Nobody's trying to go down in history as having the first gay abortion in Gaza.

□ [“New MI6 Intel Chief Is Granddaughter of Ukrainian Nazi Nicknamed ‘The Butcher’"]

Say what you will about the nazis, without them you wouldn't have this chick in charge of MI6 and really, isn't that what the Brits fought for?  I'm still trying to decide if I want to amuse myself by making up a conspiracy theory about this.  These days, there's always a hint that history as we know it didn't really happen that way, so there was some other German attempt to infest the elites of Europe which led them to where they are now.  Not sure if there's any real evidence but it's a fun theory.

And this lines up with the "revelation" last week, the French media Le Monde finally discovered that Ukraine had sided with the Germans in WWII.  The rest of the world already knew that but there's the French for you.  So is there a connection?  Le Monde was formed just after the liberation of Paris in 1944 so it seems a logical target.  It would also explain the leftist obsession with Ukraine.

I think the details are less relevant than the basic leftist mindset, which always allows them to suddenly change to whatever suits them at the moment.  Back when communism had never really been tried, they supported Russia and lied about the starvation.  It was realized that communism needed to be in a more advanced society so they all loved Mussolini when he took over Italy.

Mussolini was just a thug who lusted after power but he inspired others and showed how this could work in an individual nation, so Germany followed his example with national socialism.  For a time, leftists liked Germany too, until it started arguing with Russia, then making peace, then invading, a typical example of leftist relationships.  Given how easy it is to re-write their own histories, it wouldn't surprise me if this is where the leftist tactic comes from of saying anyone they don't like is 'Hitler.'  They're doing what he did, just making him the bad guy.

I still can't figure out how or why this is tied to Ukraine.  There's funneling money but they could do that elsewhere.  It's relevant as part of Eastern Russia.  It's also where Russia itself was founded, Kiev used to be the capitol city.  The ties of nationalism seem very important to both sides but I can't figure out how they work.  But it does seem a way to get people involved, at least certain types, whether they're European elites or Ukrainian troops on the ground.

□ [“Jill Biden’s ‘Work Husband’ Subpoenaed After Refusing to Testify on Joe’s Health Decline"]

We just passed the first anniversary of the debate where Democrats finally had to admit that Biden might not be capable of running of POTUS and over five months into Trump 2.0, people barely remember Biden anymore.  He was forgotten that easily.  That's really the only down-side to Congress trying to look in on WTF his people were doing for the last four years.

Jill’s Chief of Staff Anthony Bernal was asked to testify the day after Staff Secretary Neera Tanden said she basically handled the autopen.  Bernal decided not to come in, so now Congress is giving him an order to show up or else.  What was he supposed to get for skipping out?  Did he hope we'd be at war with Iran or something and everyone would ignore him?

Bernal was cited a little while ago as being in charge, which I don't believe.  He may have had more authority than anyone else in the inner circle - Jill was probably not paying much attention to anything other than being treated as a queen - but others in the inner circle were also relevant, that's how they got there.  Anyway, you don't get to have that much influence and then just drop out.  If you think you do, you're the problem.

But isn't it funny how they all seem to be avoiding the obvious solution, just subpoena Biden.  He knows how to do this, or he used to anyway.  Democrats could tell him how great things were when he was around and he'd show how he's totally not senile by talking for several hours.  Well, we can understand why they aren't doing that but strange how no one outside the uniparty is even bringing up the suggestion.
