Will's Notes on the Friday Follies

Our latest bit of collusion with Moscow (what is 'hillbilly'?):'This observer assumes Joe Biden will take the oath of office on January 20th 2021. We’re no lawyer, but after the Supreme Court rejected Trump’s Pennsylvania brief 9-0, we’re not optimistic about his chances. Now Texas has sued Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin to prevent them from awarding their combined 62 electoral votes to Biden. Seventeen states, including Florida, have joined the suit. To put it another way, one third of the states including the 2nd and 3rd most populist states in the union think the election was illegitimate. This is legal civil war. Time is not on their side though, as the Electoral College meets December 14th.' 

We're going to take the unusual step of starting next week's KGB column this week, right after we finish this post in fact, as we have plenty of ju-ju about the China/Dem spy scandal and China's broader victory in the Covid War. They won, didn't they? Joe is Beijing's man in Washington and lord knows what kind of kompromat they have. Maxim, I am rolling.

Israel and Morocco are normalizing ties, another win for the president's Abraham Accord. The Times of Israel describes the large Moroccan Jewish diaspora. As we recall, Mark Twain wrote about Moroccan Jews in his travel memoir, The Innocents Abroad.  

Disney + has 86 million subscribers, ourselves among them. It is with pleasure we learn that they're actually going to make the Kenobi TV series, with Ewan Macgregor starring. They're also planning another movie, Rogue Squadron, directed by Patty Jenkins. We're told she directed Wonder Woman, which we haven't seen. Fingers crossed? Rogue One being the least worst of the Disney Star Wars films, we're cautiously optimistic. We shrug, maybe we shouldn't be. This is going to be a Woke disaster, isn't it. Exit question, is Favreau in charge?

We've taken to reading Haaretz, Israeli's palestinian daily, and The Guardian, just to make sure we're not stuck in the Deplorable bubble. Both papers are honest about what they are, which is why we'll read them and not, well you know. We have a few FB friends to help us with that as well. Pro-tip, just keep scrolling. Boy Haaretz really hates Bibi. But at this point who doesn't? Even this blog is wavering. C'mon Bibi, can't you find something else to do? You'd make a killing on the speaker circuit here. A killing.

The Hunting Ground

We are the father of three little girls, so naturally we are experts on all things Disney.

Disney is a child star factory. At any given time at least have a dozen tween shows are on air, Bunk'd, Girl Meets World, Bizardvaarck...yeah like we said we're experts.

From Britney Spears to Demi Lovati the Disney career trajectory runs from cute tween, to pretty teenager, to beautiful young woman.

A few years ago child star Corey Feldman wrote about the serial sexual abuse inflicted upon himself and fellow child star Corey Haim.

Disney has long been on the cutting age of progressive corporate politics. Disney World has hosted gay days as far back as the 1990's. Frozen is really about sisterhood and Elsa's tale of loneliness and isolation has obvious gay overtones. The company fired baseball analyst Curt Schilling for supporting North Carolina's Bathroom Bill. In 2015 Disney severed their relationship with the Boy Scouts over the latter's gay policies.

That is to say, Disney believes gay men should take teenage boys camping and men should use the little girl's room.

Of course Harvey Weinstein was long in business with Disney.

Hollywood has a sexual abuse problem and there's no reason to believe that Disney Studios would not be a prime hunting ground.
