Black Chicagoans:  Democrats Putting Illegals Before Citizens ‘It’s All by Design.  It’s Deliberate.’

□ [Drinker's Chasers - "Phoebe Waller-Bridge's Tomb Raider Not Happening?"]

They suggest that Sydney Sweeny might be a better choice for the Tomb Raider lead role.  I have little to do with modern movies and nothing to do with video games, but even I know who Sydney Sweeney is, thanks to youtube channels like this talking about that Madam Web movie failure.  Hollywood spent decades insisting that fat ugly women were just as attractive and all that goes out the window with one shot.

If any movie maker has any sense, they'd be paying her to film something every day for a release they can pump out asap.  They'd also be looking for other actresses with Sweeney's two most notable qualities, her bright smile and cheery personality.  Now that I think about this, why don't they do that?

You can basically film movies with a cellphone at this point.  Hire Sydney Sweeney, or some hot young equivalent.  Might not have much money to pay her up front but offer 50% of the profits on the back end and that will probably be a decent amount of money coming in.  Just do it piece by piece until you have enough to figure out a story.

"Ok, we're going to film a movie about you wanting a boyfriend and eventually you get one and live happily ever after.  Get in your underwear, we'll film you getting dressed to go to work in the morning.  We'll add narration later."

"Ok, we hired this actor.  He won't be your ultimate love interest, but you have a 'maybe' about him.  Here's a few lines of dialogue."

"Ok, just walk down the street, looking around.  Guys will be checking you out.  By the way, we're close to figuring out your name, which one of these do you prefer?"

"Ok, we've hired another actress, she's your girl bestie but you're jealous because she's always surrounded by guys and you're not.  Here's a few lines of dialogue."

"Ok, we've brought back that actress and actor.  You think you're going to meet him for a date but when you get there, you see them making out.  You're hurt and jealous and slowly walk away all sad.  We'll add narration later.  You're almost ready to meet the real love interest.  We've narrowed that down to three actors, tomorrow we'll film you with each of them.  We'll probably add narration later for all three but whichever one has chemistry, we'll keep him.  The other two will be used for clips of you dating other guys, so there will be a bit of dialogue."

Would it really be hard to make up all this stuff quickly and have a movie?  A lot of guys would want to watch that and it could easily make a profit.  Just use your cellphone to film it.  Besides showing off big knockers, this would be demonstrating how meaningless the giant expensive studios really are.  I can't believe people aren't already trying to do this.

□ [“Rumble CEO Escapes France after Telegram CEO Is Arrested for Not Censoring Free Speech"]

The war goes to social media, thanks to the western nations and their tyrants.  Telegram wasn't as willing to censor as the French government wanted, so that's all you need for an arrest.  The excuse is that not censoring makes the CEO "complicit in drug trafficking, paedophile offences and fraud.”

I can see an argument that social media needs more specific rules to police things like this, but arresting someone for lack of censorship is not going to help.  Yet France, Britain and Germany are just going all-in on censorship as the solution looking for a problem.  The US is following the same lines, as is Ireland, Australia, Brazil and the EU.

It would make more sense to work with these social media sites to trap actual criminals, but then speech itself wouldn't be the crime, so that's not an option.  This is one of those things about leftism that is so bewildering, how can you come from a free society and somehow decide this is a good idea?  No argument, no questioning, just "I don't like their freedom, get rid of it!"

Not sure what this will do with social media.  As far as I know, people only use them for convenient connections to whatever they're interested in, but it is all in public and we're being watched by the overlords and their A.I. police.  My use of social media is probably different from most so I can't really speculate on what benefits others get from it, much less how it can be controlled.  But the elites know, so now they have to fight about it.

□ [“Rep. Dean Phillips (D-MN) Suggests He Would Join GOP Administration:  'We Failed A Lot of People'"]

He admits the failure but I don't see even a suggestion in this article that he'd work with GOP.  He probably would, he has no other choice and the point is that he's running out to say Democrats aren't fixing anything, especially what they caused.  You either stay on the sinking ship or you try to do something about it.

I assume he'll be accepted for whatever it's worth, because politics, but the rest of us have been facing these problems for over three years. He has made a few comments and attempts to at least distinguish himself from the rest of his party, like actually trying to run in the primary a few months ago, so there is something to point to, but it's a very low bar to clear.

Haven't noticed him having to answer questions about how he intends to fix the problems he helped create and help the people he failed.  Makes sense, because then he'd have to explain why he's not doing anything now.  And this has one of the guys who has the most going for him if the elections go to a fair winner and not to Democrats.

That said, he seems to be working on the assumption that the elections can't be stolen enough to prevent Republican victory and publicly stating that he's willing to help the other side.  He also comes from a family that is higher up on the social ladder than most of us will ever be, his grandmother and great-aunt were "Dear Abby" and Ann Landers.  Point is, more and more Democrats are seeing the real problems brought by leftism and want to get out, regardless of much or little they contributed to those problems.

□ [“Israel Launches Preemptive Strikes in Lebanon to Thwart Massive Hezbollah Attack"]
□ [“Houthi Attack Blows up Greek Oil Tanker in the Red Sea"]

The war continues in the Middle East.  In the case of Israel, it's an interesting parallel to their 1967 preemptive strike on Egypt which began the 6-Days War, which was when the real mass-hatred of Israel started, officially.  All those attacks on Israel for 20 years but Israel dared to take initiative and it's all their fault.

The Red Sea conflict is a different matter.  Houthis are servants of Iran and the Red Sea is a shortcut for ships to get from Asia and east Africa to the Mediterranean.  This means Iran is taking over this entrance to the continent and trade for nearby continents.  That's a big deal, but it's not even getting much attention.

From this perspective, it looks like the US and EU are behaving as puppets in the matter.  We're opposing Israel and supporting Iran, despite its alliance with Russia and China whom we claim to oppose.  Basically they know western leaders are stupid enough to go along with this so they're going to take every to expand while the expansion works.  Maybe they've got the 2024 elections sewn up, maybe not, but either way, I suspect they have a plan.

I don't know what Israel will do about it.  I hope they have a plan too, but it's not going to be fun, no matter what.  All we can do is hope that the 'climate change' crowd is offended by all the oil spilling into the ocean, but they probably don't care as long as it can be used against Israel.

□ [“Russian Nuclear Doctrine Threshold Gets Lowered; Navy Prepares for Preemptive Tactical Nuke Attacks"]

The navies of BRICS nations are growing and training, the navies of NATO and western nations are doing the opposite.  The US Navy is preparing to remove 17 ships out of the 296 total in some "great reset," a term which is always associated with leftism, so...

The Russian Navy has @370 ships, the Chinese Navy has over 300.  Russia has planned this lowered threshold since 2014, it's like they're actually preparing for something beyond what we've heard about their constant defeats for the last two and a half years.  Anybody hearing anything interesting from that one solitary Ukrainian division on Russian soil for some reason?

□ [“Ukraine's Defenses in Donetsk Are Folding; Putin May Soon Take Key Region of the War"]

Gee, that one division might be really useful right now, but they're off doing something in Kursk.  80 years ago, there was a battle in Kursk where the losing side brought in 50 divisions, two tank brigades, three tank battalions, eight artillery assault divisions comprising 2,700 Tiger and Panther tanks, 2,000 aircraft and 900,000 men.  No word on how many Ukrainians sided with the Germans in that battle, maybe that'll make a difference this time.

To a large extent, this whole war looks like it might be a fake.  The battles are probably happening for real, but it's all about PR rather than whatever is really going on.  No idea who would be responsible or why, but this is clearly World War III yet NATO members are clearly unwilling to do anything about it.  Their rulers want to expand their own tyranny over their own populace, which is not how you go about defeating the real enemy in a global conflict.

If the war was rule and our rulers weren't siding with the opponents, wouldn't they be trying to strengthen the military rather than what they've been doing for years?  You don't need to get someone's made-up pronouns correct to fight in a foxhole and if you're so wussy that you scream when someone calls you a pronoun you don't like, you should be shot on sight anyway.  That's what BRICS is doing, and our masters oppose that.  So which side will you fight for?

□ [“Trump Doesn't Fall for Trap, Refuses to Attend Security Briefings as Candidate"]

Makes sense.  If he went to them, they'd leak whatever they're telling him and then blame him for the leaks.  Now they'll have to find some other lie about him to use.  I do wonder how else his security status changes as candidate, but then I don't get the point of giving candidates the briefing anyway.  I suppose it makes a bit of sense for professional politicians, as governors or congressmen would already have clearance, but even there, how much would you tell them?

But Trump obviously has enough experience - four+ years of the highest clearance - to know how important it really is.  There's also a benefit many people may not think of, he can say whatever he wants without risking saying something he couldn't.  When I had a security clearance, I made sure not to learn anything I didn't need to know, so that whatever I did say or wrote only came from public sources or just something I made up on my own.  It was easy for me, I didn't want to know and was busy working for people with much higher clearances.  For Trump, it's obviously a different ball of wax.

Then there's all the problems our intelligence agencies are having, as well as the basic problem of intelligence info itself.  How do you know if it's remotely true?  That's one of the problems he's trying to fix, so who knows if it'll go anywhere.  I do hope he wins, but at this point, even if he does, I'm not optimistic.
