□ [“Pope Leo Embraces Transgenderism — Invites Prominent Trans Activists to Vatican Luncheon"]

He's already worse than Francis.  Is probably younger and healthier too so he expects to be around for a while.  This is a deliberate attempt to destroy the church.  He was probably promoted by leftists and Muslims to get rid of any appeal religion has to people.  Makes me wonder if this was what they were doing six or seven hundred years ago when the church had similar problems.

I'm wondering what Catholics will do about this.  My suggestion would be to drop off from the church and form local groups to practice religion but I don't know how feasible that would be.  If anything is going to survive, I think it needs be built from the bottom up and that's going to get rid of a lot of long-time established church traditions.

I don't really have a dog in this fight but at least I recognize the need to fight.  All these decades of leftism have done everything it could to destroy religion.  That will fail but it will not be fun for anyone to get through it.  With all the other wars going on, here's another one that will get started any day now.

□ [“Trump Will Order Pam Bondi to Investigate Bill Clinton, J.P. Morgan, and Others Tied to Epstein"]

Like he could have done all year or his last term?  Yeah, great.  Is there a reason Bondi hasn't already been investigating them?  Because if she isn't, you should have fired her months ago when the documents were sitting on her desk.  Or at leas she claimed they were.  This really doesn't look like they're handling things well and is just feeding the left.  This investigator is the one who went after P. Diddy who's barely being punished.

There are more reports of emails or messages being released but we're already at a point where they're unbelievable.  One email claims Trump and Epstein had Thanksgiving dinner together in 2017, ignoring that Trump was in the White House and Epstein was in jail that year.  This is just ridiculous, might as well just post an A.I. Bill Clinton telling us "I did it!" and going on to explain every detail.

Maybe there's a cult mentality to Epstein supporters and this is a way of reproducing it for some reason.  It is being noted that Trump Derangement Syndrome is a real thing, this may be another example.  But at the moment I'm really tired of speculating possibilities of why the Trump administration is being so stupid for so long.  This is just a waste of time and energy to no good purpose.

□ [“Roger Rabbit Copyright Reverts to Creator Gary K. Wolf"]

Interesting.  Why wouldn't Disney have taken the rights away permanently?  You'd think that would be standard operating practice for them.  This is based on the changes in copyright which occurred at the start of 1978.  Copyright assignments - i.e. giving the companies complete ownership - could be terminated in 35 years if certain requirements were met.  No idea what those requirements are and it's interesting to note that it must be exactly 35 years, not a day early or late.

But it's doable so now Wolf has the rights to Roger, Jessica, Eddie Valiant, Baby Herman.  Even he doesn't know if he has the rights to Toontown now.  I assume this will go nowhere but he'll probably make some money for the rest of his life dealing with potential deals.  He's quite complimentary about dealing with Disney.  They didn't fight, they just accepted it and that's that.

It was also noted that they've been removing Roger from wherever they'd used him for the last several years.  Probably in preparation for this but also because they never really did much with him after that one movie which required access to Warner Bros. and other IPs.  He says he'd be quite willing to work with Disney on a new Roger Rabbit project.

This is a good thing.  I don't know how successful his first Roger Rabbit book was - although it's quite good - but it was enough to get him a deal which eventually led to the wonderful movie.  Then he did a few more books based on the movie, not the original book and probably made enough money to live comfortably for the rest of his life.  I come from the comic book side of things so this is definitely a better ending than I'm used to.

□ [“Psychotherapist Confirms TDS is Real — Patients Can’t Sleep, Travel, or Function Because They’re 'Triggered' by Trump"]

I don't have a high opinion on psychotherapy so I'm skeptical about an analysis like this.  That said, he deals with a lot of patients with this problem and it's the obsession with Trump that connects them all.  To the extent mental health is measurable, they're hurting themselves with this and obviously see nothing wrong within themselves.

They've been doing this for decades, we've seen it with George W. Bush and Reagan.  For that matter, we saw the flip side with Obama, Biden, Harris, Bill Clinton, arguably Hillary.  Remember the brief moment where everybody who voted for Hillary was racist?  Then there's the obsession with global warming, abortion, all the typical leftist platforms.

This may be amplified by the sudden change of popular acceptance of transgenders.  Suddenly they have one less target to focus on, causing more mental instability.  I'm sure there are other relevant topics, the Supreme Court ruling on abortion.  There's also the sudden joy over a few recent election victories in low-vote leftist districts.  That comes across as desperately grasping for straws of hope.

Not saying I believe this theory but it's quite interesting.  There's also the obvious counterpoint that relationships, family, religion, are what keep more people from succumbing to this mental illness.  There's really no explanation of the cause and the possible 'triggers' are everywhere we look so it can't be fixed, but I'll definitely be thinking about this for a while.
