□ [“Irate Democrats Want DNC Vice Chair David Hogg to Resign for Threatening Party’s Incumbents"]

I'm trying to figure out how he became Vice Chair.  The DNC has five of them and apparently elections are involved but I can't find any results.  The DNC chair only got a few hundred votes, but that was enough to win.  It's possible this is just every Democrat governor, congressman or living POTUS and that's the all the votes to be counted.  So how do you win that election?

I think this lines up a couple different conflicts.  The people in charge don't know how to fix anything so they need someone to blame for that.  Can't blame Trump, he's not in the DNC.  Meanwhile Hogg is a spoiled little boy that just blames whoever's in charge, because it's not him.  DNC supporters think they need something new so they pick a young guy for a change.  His supporters would turn against him just as easily as they'd turn against the rest of the DNC, the party as a whole and the USA.

Hogg hasn't actually won any elections beyond becoming vice chair so he's got no experience to go with.  He also makes it very easy for people who agree with him to start disliking him anyway, as Democrats are showing.  I'd guess he'll be out within a couple months but then neither side has any better options.  None of this helps to win over voters but a large part of the party is still convinced that Trump is always a loser, which is how they got into this mess.

□ [“Trump Tells Putin to Stop Strikes on Kyiv – 'Let’s Get The Peace Deal Done!'"]

Little problem.  Putin has no incentive to go along with it.  He knows that Trump has no incentive to be involved here and has already threatened to walk away if things don't get fixed quickly.  Russia keeps expanding anyway so they don't need Trump involved.  I don't know if the Easter ceasefire actually did anything.  I've heard both sides accused the other of attacking but I didn't bother looking into it.  Another sign that it's none of our business in the first place.

Zelensky is just being loony, causing problems and insisting that Russia can never have Crimea.  Take that up with Obama who cave them Crimea ten years ago.  Of course Europe agrees with this, it's like the Palestinians, it's their land forever no matter how long it takes.  At most, they'll go for awhile without fighting for it, like they did the last ten years.  Another reason Trump should just walk away.  I really hope he's not just trying to show off as a negotiator.

If whoever's in charge of Ukraine was smart, they'd accept the loss now before it gets worse.  But they could have done that a year or two ago so that's not what they're into.  Notice that, no matter how much Europe supports this war, they haven't spent the last three years building up their militaries.  Giving up tons of equipment to Ukraine - and Russia by extension - they'll eagerly do that, but putting hundreds of thousands of fighting men together to be ready to go?  Not going to happen.

Hopefully Trump is just showing how pointless this is so he can justify not being involved.  That's about the best option there is at this point.

□ [“British Scientists to Start ‘Dimming the Sun’ to Prevent Climate Catastrophe — Full Weather Control by 2035"]

Whiny brats who think they can protect 'mother earth' from the 'sun god.'  Not sure what's worse, the insanity that would make them want to try this or the chance that they might actually succeed.  My guess is all their experiments will be conducted on Russia, or maybe the American midwest.  That way if it goes wrong, what's the worst that could happen?

Blocking the sun has nothing to do with "global warming" and is entirely about creating a weapon to use against everyone else.  There's also the delusion that they think earth is so weak that this would work.  Even scarier, isn't there a way that this could be easy to do?  These experiments are to spread aerosols through the atmosphere, a good way to poison lots of people, but one has to wonder why they don't just up drones to hold miles of plastic or nylon or something that just literally blocks the sun.  There are nations that wouldn't be capable of shooting that down, certainly nobody else could do it.

They're not even worried about shutting down solar panels which are there to save the earth.  It's like changing the term from "global cooling" to "global warming," they're just throwing one insane idea in after another, regardless of contradiction.  This mentality just comes off as effectively the source of all our actual problems, the thugs and tyranny.

Trump Takes Transgender Military Ban Fight to Supreme Court

The next Marvel failure is a week away from being released.  I do know the origin of the original Thunderbolts comic, years later I even bought the first collection, but nothing about this movie seems to make sense.  The company is trying to act like it can throw in any IP it wants and it'll be successful, regardless of whether it's any good.  So now they've reached the point where even if the movie is any good, it has very little chance of success.

I just did a very quick search on Fandango for advance ticket sales and only one theater I saw wasn't almost entirely empty.  That theater actually had quite a few seats already sold, but it was also a small theater.  I checked Thursday and Friday, one Imax, the rest standard, only three theaters had sold more seats than you could count on your fingers and most of the others could be counted on one hand.

People are deliberately avoiding Marvel/Disney at this point.  Different people might have different reasons, but it basically all comes down to 'you're not getting any more of my money.'  Partially people are tired of the superhero genre, men in tights solving their problems by punching people.  Partially we're repulsed by Hollywood in general and Disney in particular.  Then there's the way that these movies all seem to be little more than an advertisement for the next movie.  That's not how you create an interesting story or characters.

There's a slight chance people will be interested in this movie, but more likely no one will care.  That's not going to help the upcoming Avengers movie that's supposed to tie all the previous ignored releases together.  I'm sure it'll be more successful than the other product of the last several years, but more out of curiosity than any real interest.  It wasn't that long ago when these movies were very successful and they've just ruined themselves.
