14. Sometimes it does take a gal

We need Dutch Jim in 13, Homan, Donny, yes … but in comes a voice from a gal:

True, Lainey, true. There’s some middling path we should be navigating, not our place to play God, that’s His … but we do need this mix of ideas and directions, firmly excluding the destructive, such as Wokery.

12. Rate of deportations

My feeling is he’s one of us … as independently thinking as we can be, given that we too have our biases and a prioris.

11. Do we expose our heroes?

Not to put too fine a point on it … look at Karoline Leavitt’s invitation to invite real journalism to the Press Corp … first time since Chanel Rion … that’s both a privilege and a responsibility.

Does that stymie or impede all the other initiatives? Should we stay shtum on’t? As with the poisoned vaxxes and all this warp speed bollox?

French PM has stirred-up a hornet’s nest. In an interview with LCI on Monday, January 27, Prime Minister François Bayrou spoke of a “feeling of submersion” regarding immigration in France … Even though two thirds of the French people believe that immigration “is not an opportunity for France,” the government still finds it a necessity … The ‘Mona Lisa’ is being move inthe Louvre – is this is the reason? The Louvre in Paris, one of the world’s biggest and most famous museums, “is in a deplorable state of disrepair”, says one employee and union rep … Nice wants to get rid of its statue of Joan of Arc; Mátészalka in northeastern Hungary has offered to host … more detail at 953 of course.
