At least I got a bit written today before the cat found me.

□ [“‘Tremendous Heresy’ CS Lewis’ Family Says ‘Turning Over in His Grave’ on Netflix’s Aslan Casting"]

I'm not that big of a fan of descendants of someone who created some legendary work of art.  Some of them do their best but there's really know way to know how serious any of them are.  They were born and raised with the wealth and fame their ancestors made possible, they really don't know any better.  I'm not complaining in this instance, they're naturally opposed to thinking Meryl Streep can be a heroic male lion.

But if the Lewis estate has any control over the Narnia franchise, they got paid for this and it doesn't sound like they're giving the money back.  I'm certainly one of those people who thinks that a work of art should belong to everybody, at least when the creator has been dead for over sixty years.  This is yet-another blatant attempt to rewrite the past to account for the modern *woke* era.  If anything, it's probably more subtle than you'd expect, although we'll see how many non-whites are included in the Netflix series.

What I notice is how this lines up with the attacks on Harry Potter and J.K. Rowling.  Those are going on much louder and more vehement, simply because she's not as supportive of the trans movement as these people want.  I don't know how active a franchise Harry Potter really is, they're making new movies or whatever but those are based on the old books.  I think there's a theme park or something, I really never pay attention to Potter.  But the point is that Rowling is still very much alive.  She's even cited Lewis and Narnia as inspirations.

And this is the really bizarre mindset that sticks out for me.  How is it even possible to love a work of fiction so much despite hating the person who created it, just because she doesn't agree with you on everything?  Near as I can tell, Rowling owns the franchise.  Movie or tv rights are sold for a boatload of money for a period of time and then go back to her.  It's possible a company legally owns the IPs but she's the owner of the company.  Or chose to sell those rights too, that's what creation and ownership allows you to do.

And they're against that.  It's like being obsessed with Spider-Man despite hating Marvel Comics because Stan Lee said something you didn't like decades ago.  Saying "get over it" doesn't fix the problem, how did you even get to a point where you made this problem for yourself?  That may never be known, but here they are blaming others for it.  Narnia is probably being used as an example but it's also an older and more influential work so there's many reasons for the left to cut it down.  It looks like they're willing to chop down Harry Potter just to show they can, because they care so much.

□ [“UK Releases Alleged Terrorists on Bail After Attempted Attack on Airbase"]

All military-aged males and they're just allowed to go.  The US is using this airfield for attacks on Iran but I doubt that's relevant.  Iran's probably not even connected to this other than long-distance funding, maybe that was cut off and that's why these people decided to do something.  The bigger problem is that the government is siding with the attackers.

We see this with the boats of invaders, the government supports that.  Only the guy who knifed the boats was sent to jail for that and the government now calls him "racist."  I'm tired of asking this, when are the British people going to stand up against these monsters?  Every day just gets worse, it's just depressing to think about.

Go on strike.  Stop taking part in any part of British society that supports or accepts any of this 'muslim socialism.'  Look for ways to help each other, especially for those who couldn't go on strike by themselves.  The old, young and sick have usually been those groups, it was women's job to care for them and men's job to protect the family.  That all seems non-existent now, except for the invaders who refuse to submit to this *woke* society.  They can be in charge.

□ [“U.S. and China Announce Major Deal to Wipe Away Tariffs After Trump-Xi Meeting"]

As always, there's no reason to believe this will do anything positive, at least on our side.  There's certainly no reason to trust China and the only possible reason they have for trusting us is our gullibility.  So that's a down-side right there.  There's not much detail on what this means for either side, it all seems to center around gifts and goodies people buy around the Christmas season.  Which is fine but that's not really much of a deal and I doubt that's all this 'tariff war' has been about.

There's nothing to point to but I do get the impression we've turned a corner in the global conflicts.  Not saying that's a good thing, just that there's been a change.  Maybe it's connected to the Greenland deal, maybe it's the aircraft of 'munitions' that lifted off from Britain a week or so ago, maybe it's the upcoming collapse of Iran or the indication that gas prices are starting to go down.  But if anybody knows this as well as Trump, it would be China and it sounds like they've come to some agreement.

Trump's a showman, he wants a big event and we've been waiting far too long for this to happen.  He has to have a plan in place for the midterms, you'd think it would be prices dropping, especially gas prices, along with the mullahs surrendering and all the other wins we can think of.  But this is really tiresome.  He's able to be obnoxiously extroverted in every other way, why hasn't he managed to pull this off yet?  I still think election fraud is the only way the left can with the midterms but notice that there's no evidence to point to.
