□ [“Chinese Embassy in Washington DC Lashes Out after Biden Admin Announces Investigation on Origins of the COVID-19"]

"First, tell Biden to oppose the investigation even though it's going to start anyway."

"Ok."

"Then, when it gets started, we're going to complain about it.  You following?"

"Yes, but how will this keep everything peaceful."

"Trust us, we'll all be fine as long as you follow orders."

"Got it."

□ [“California Restaurant Charges Patrons Extra Money if They Wear a Face Mask, Brag About Their Vaccine Status"]

Elitists are totally willing to charge people different amounts of money depending on how they look.  They can show it off their their self-appointed 'peers.'  It's one of the biggest joys in life.

□ [“More Oregon Counties Join Movement To Leave State And Become Part Of Idaho"]

I don't expect any success in this move for counties to go to another state, but I have to wonder how the conflict will effect the attempt to pretend Washington DC is a state.  The small populated cities are where all the leftists live and the Democrats in charge will be realizing that they can't get food, gas, taxes, etc. from places that are no longer in their state.

It's possibly an example of how individuals work, in ways that our forefathers recognized but leftists can't.  They don't give any thought to counties, they're just parts of states run by Democrats and have to obey.  That's not even counting the towns within each county or districts in each, then there's every state falling under the federal government but some states are more important than others.

□ [“African Child Slaves Die for Electric Cars"]

Here's something I haven't thought about for several years, Congo.  Belgium started it, the king wanted to get money for himself, and that's what an actual genocide looks like.  Not the Filistines who keep increasing their population by large numbers every year, but Congo where 10-15 million blacks were killed in slave labor.

And that's where these kids are now, mining cobalt needed for rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, which electric cars require.  And who's profiting from this?  Leftists naturally.  Oh, and China, they run around half the mines in Congo.  African slaves and Democrats are totally in favor of it, who woulda thunk?  You'll never catch them avoiding an electric car just to oppose slavery.  They know what they want and they're gonna get it, no one can stand in their way.

Amazon Buys MGM, Studio Behind James Bond, for $8.45 Billion
May 26, 2021

Interesting note, this doesn't include a lot of the most famous movies in history like Gone with the Wind or The Wizard of Oz.  Warner Bros. purchased them back in the 1980s.  I'm trying to remember how that went, I remember hearing about it at the time, maybe a little after.  I thought it was Ted Turner who made the purchase.  I think he was aiming at their cartoons to show on his tv networks but the movies were offered too so he grabbed them for a low price in 1986.  Maybe he sold them to Warners afterward, maybe they were part of the original purchase, maybe I'm mis-remembering everything.

Looking it up, I guess I was right but it was very unclear exactly what Turner was buying.  The Popeye cartoons are a good example, no one knows who owns them or really who has the rights to Popeye.  There's also United Artists which is somehow a part of the deal and the way billioniare Kirk Kerkorian seemed to keep selling and re-purchasing MGM in the 80s and 90s for reasons that make no sense.  He was more interested in hotels, Kerkorian first purchased it in 1969 because he was more interested in their real estate holdings, particularly in Las Vegas where he'd started the International Hotel and opened it with Barbra Streisand and Elvis as the opening acts.

Anyway, it seems like a decades-long mess but so does everything else.

In other news, I've finally given up on the next book but in a good way.  I was hoping to spend this weekend continuing to edit it but finally decided 'screw it.'  I'm mostly surprised that I included so many pages in the proof copy I've ordered, I'll have to remove fifty pages no matter what and it's not like I'm not writing more every day.
