If Trump becomes POTUS again, I'm leaving the US permanently. At least if he pays me enough.

□ [“Trump Signs Executive Order to Declassify JFK, MLK, RFK Assassination Files"]

I might wind up doing a regular 'what Trump accomplished today' comment.  If so, here's today's.  No clue on how long it will take to be made public.  I would estimate a week or so, the files probably need to get through several offices before it gets to us.  I wouldn't think there would be any resistance, the time to do that would have been before he signed the executive order.  It's probably just basic file processing, it takes some time.  It would be nice if Trump could just start tweeting details that are no longer secret, but there's probably a reason he can't.

Not sure how long it will be before we find anything interesting, if there is any.  There's probably many thousands of pages in each file so going through all that would take a while.  A.I. would actually be helpful here, asking for a summary, especially for those who have been interested in these cases for a long time, asking about this suspect or that event.

I'm not all that interested in these cases.  It might be nice to finally get some closure and there's the possibility of mind-shattering revelations.  They aren't my priority but their relevance to the national mindset for the last 60+ years puts them at the front of the line.  I'm more interested in the details on P. Diddy's parties, Epstein Island and everyone connected to them.  Unfortunately those are still ongoing cases, so declassifying those would be a whole 'nother ballgame.  Get to work, Trump!

Will it have any meaningful real-world affect?  Probably not.  Most of the people who were anyway connected are long dead, whatever national interests were at stake have ended.  If there's any sudden surprises, we'll have to wait until they come out.  Would it really matter if it turns out this was just Joe DiMaggio getting revenge for Marilyn Monroe's death?

The main issue would be those who've had access to these files over the last few decades.  What are they going to do, those who are still alive anyway?  These were probably the first things they looked up as soon as they got the chance, so what use have they made of this information?  That might be a problem that solves itself, they'd already be tied up some other way because they had that access and this is just a few more details.  We shall see.

□ [“Davos 2025 Celebrates Neo-Paganist Movement – Promotes Giving Personhood to Forests, Rivers, Valleys and Streams"]

I wouldn't say "paganism," although it's roughly the same thing to the terms I use.  I use "goddess worship" and "earth worship."  They're interchangeable, the planet is the "goddess."  Funny how people who don't know what genders are always specify female when citing the Earth.  And here they expand that concept by calling streams "persons."  How do you even get to a point where this makes sense, much less dominates your belief system?

So of course Trump calls in on remote and tells them what's what.  That was nice.  It looks like he just gave a basic run through of what's going on.  Didn't seem to be heavy on details but I'd assume he has access to whatever code words the Davos crowd uses.  They must be wondering what to do about him.  All their magical spells haven't worked, what else is there?  He didn't burn gasoline to get here and is even taking questions, is there anything he can't do?

By the way, where were Biden and Harris at this meeting?  Weren't they suppose to be important people at some point?  You'd think they would have a lot to offer because they care so much.  I can't even finish that joke, they just dropped out of sight completely and nobody misses them.  The Davos crowd must be whining that this is who they counted on and Trump is still here?  He even got an extra term after stealing the 2020 election and then focusing on him, otherwise he'd be out of office now.  Earth-worship would never think of things like that.

□ [“Kamala Harris Reportedly Blames 'Dead Weight' Husband Doug Emhoff For Election Loss"]

A couple days before the inauguration, there were rumors that Obama and Michelle might be getting divorced.  Now that's moved over to Harris.  With a couple of other celebrities, I've just been wondering if the left is showing its fundamental problems with the concept of marriage, since none of these people seem to be happy or faithful.  Or they just seem to be gay and this is a charade.

With the Obamas, it's basically just because Michelle wasn't at the inauguration or Jimmy Carter's funeral.  There are several possible reasons, but I suspect the likely options all fall under what she and Obama have been doing in hiding, supporting the 'new world order' and destroying western civilization.  She just didn't want Trump pointing that out in public.

For Harris, I think it's more about being a ditzy chick who got her career from an adulterer and married another adulterer.  She doesn't think it's important anyway and she certainly doesn't accept responsibility for her actions, or failure.

In both cases, I don't think it will really mean anything.  In theory, either of them could just make a stupid decision and file for divorce, but I think consciously or not, they'll realize that the ring on their finger is really all they have that they can rely on.  They're too old to get anybody else.  For Michelle, it would be losing the only reason she's rich and famous.  For Harris, she already knows men will go after the younger chicks and would have nothing to fall back on.

□ [“Disney Hides Anthony Mackie on China Poster for Captain America 4"]

I really hold back on predicting if some pop culture release will be a failure but at this point, there's enough evidence to see it happening, at least for Marvel and Star Wars.  This movie is ridiculously expensive just from what's been made public, not counting all the reshoots or marketing.  It would need to make close to a billion dollars just to break even and there's no chance of that, unless by some miracle it's a great movie and everybody tells their friends about it.

They're making sure to hide the black person starring in the movie on the promotion poster because that's how China wants it.  But the left refuses to call that racist, go figure.  They're doing some of that about white people, although there's less than when they said the only reason to not see The Marvels was because you hate women.  Somehow this is considered a way to convince people to buy tickets.

Basically anybody promoting this just comes off as a 'bot.  It's like there's no interest whatsoever in this new product.  Ticket pre-sales have been going on for several days and last we heard, are lower than other Marvel failures.  But this movie cost much much more to make.  At least crappy comics are cheap, relatively easy to produce and can be done much faster.  Doing this for a movie franchise is suicidal on a business level.  I'm probably not the only one who is far more entertained by watching this from a distance than I would be to actually see the movie.

□ [“Senate Confirms John Ratcliffe as CIA Director, Marking Second Trump Cabinet Approval"]

The vote wasn't as unanimous as Secretary of State but it was still a large win.  Considering Trump's other nominees are still being held up with whatever Democrats and the uniparty can come up with, that's strange.  Why would these two jobs be so crucial that they just rush the nominees through?

With Marco Rubio as SoS, I had wondered if Democrats had decided to stop fighting everything just to show they can.  The fact that they are doing that with other nominees shows that I was wrong about that, so now I'm wondering if this is about the foreign problems we're facing.  This could be related to the war going on which Congress hasn't yet declared.  But on the other hand, they are hassling the Defense Department nominee.

Praise or complain about Trump, this is part of the tedious day-to-day details of life.  We still don't know any details of the war going on.  It's all kept hidden from us, even what (or if) we're doing anything about it.  Trump is standing up against Iran, an executive order has declared the Houthis as a terrorist group, which he'd already done before and then Biden reversed.  He's also demanding Russia and Ukraine stop fighting and it's vaguely sounding like both sides are willing to listen.  This is all part of what's going on but it's still not clear at all.
