a) Macron choses some strange friends. He goes on an official visit to Marocco. Included in the party, but not on the official list, is Yassine Belattar. Wiki here https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yassine_Belattar [Sorry, that it is French]

b) Gambling on Life and Death: Euthanasia Back on French Agenda.

c) French Prime Minister Michel Barnier wants to show a five-year reform plan that will draw on the grievances and ideas President Emmanuel Macron asked around two million French people to share after the Yellow Vest movement in 2019 [but never published].

3. Now this poor joker at the MSG rally

The event was a triumph, the “comedian” came on near the end, apparently, and made a joke about Puerto Rican trash in the street … whatever … it was as crass as Tice over here, not needed … one Xer’s comment:

You have a good point. I don’t mind having a comedian but why choose one who is so incredibly tone deaf that he makes jokes about minority groups, all the while knowing that the entire Democratic narrative is that the rally is filled with Nazis and racists? He gave them ammunition for their false narrative. Why couldn’t he have told jokes about Democrats and their stupidity regarding everything. Why even go to the racial humor. It was really bizarre. Almost as if he did it to help the Democrats.

1. Some sort of op ed

… including Steve drops and Andy comments … first Andy. One on a Japanese village … sad … and one I’m about to look at, but not the issue itself. Call me cantankerous, blodymind, petty and childish but when I see this:

… my first reaction is: “Get knotted!” You want to prevent me seeing the info, however good or not? Go away … and I click out, noting what it said as I go, plus going back and seeing what Andy wrote. And it only cost me 40kb for that screenshot anyway.

Steve’s drops follow in Tue 2.
