Tuesday Post Without Title

Or, lots of various. 

We admit the Napoleon trailer looks kinda cool, but we've no idea how they're gonna cram his entire life into a couple of hours. Also, ye to Mr. Phoenix who we have no doubt will rise to the greatness of the character. Of course, Patton concentrated on World War Two, and managed to miss the essence of the man entirely. Patton is a terrible movie. 

A massive day of protest in Israel over the Judicial overhaul bill. What are these people going to do if/when, the bill becomes law?

Ben Shapiro had a particularly sharp episode yesterday talking about how campaign dynamics are starting to favor Trump. We'll say again, we now believe it's possible for Trump to win a third presidential election. For us, that's all that's changed.  We're not saying he will. And here's Hot Air with a post on the absurdity of declaring a campaign dead six months before the first vote. Twenty years ago right about now, the punditocracy was talking about the inevitability of Wesley Clark. 

We call the episode 'particularly sharp' because Shapiro also pointed out the most likely scenario in Ukraine, a ceasefire forced by the White House. The simple fact is the 'counteroffensive' has stalled. There's that narrative again. At least it's no Blitzkrieg and whoever planned that thing ain't no Guderian or Schwartzkopf. We're running out of ammo and the Ruskis aren't. 

More absurdity from Hot Air, which points out that the left is in the midst of a moral panic over rightwing fitness. Basically, if you're not a fat slob, and enjoy some serious gym time, you're a Nazi. Go ahead and read the story. One sees a lot of pro-American ink at our gym (Golds), flags, eagles, etc etc, and the facility is practically a monument to Arnold Schwarzenegger. There's even a Conan mural in the corner. The owner dresses like he just stepped out of Doc Brown's DeLorean, I mean parachute pants, tank tops and bandanas, which is totally based.  About the most interesting thing we see at the gym are the young Indian and Chinese American gym bros. The Indians usually stick to cardio. We've seen some totally shredded Chinese kids.
