Will Goes the Full Prague

Liz Cheney (R-Haliburton) is in trouble. Hot Air reports half the GOP House Caucus has signed a petition to remove the war profiteer's daughter from her leadership post. Back home in America, state senator Anthony Bouchard is challenging Cheney in the Wyoming GOP primary.  Never trust Wyoming establishment GOP. Twenty years ago, our own cousin, Ambassador Thomas F. Stroock, didn't lift a finger to help us get a job in W's White House.  This blog doesn't know what will happen with Cheney or with the GOP in the next few years. We do know there's no point in winning a great big victory in 2022 with the likes of Liz Cheney running things. We've seen that show, so no thanks. Liz Cheney should be defenestrated...metaphorically speaking, from her leadership post.

Ace tells us that Trump is considering forming a third party. Reader(s) don't need this blog to tell them it's a mistake. We're not going to lecture about the need for unity and loyalty to the party apparatus. In a word or two, fuck them. The GOP-e has never been weaker (see above) and rather than forming a third party, patriots would do better to take over the GOP infrastructure. This is not that hard to do. Example- back in 2010 the party wanted Charlie Crist in Florida, but the base said no thanks and nominated Marco Rubio. So what to do? We had this brainstorm, just now, like 2 minutes ago taking Youngest Daughter to the bus stop. If/when you get GOP fundraising mail, send the envelope back with a protest note. We will today. It's a start. 

Midnight's Edge has a short video describing the long civil war at Disney's Lucasfilm between the John Favreau faction and the Kathleen Kennedy faction. Basically, the Favreau faction is loyal to George Lucas' Star Wars vision while the Kennedy faction hates Lucas and Luke Skywalker and sought to use Star Wars as a canvass upon which to project their feminism. The force is female, after all. Giving Star Wars to people who don't like Star Wars was a terrible mistake. Hence the sequels. Midnight's Edge is always right. 

Steve Sailer writes about the Wilson Administration's war on German Americans. About half of white America traces its heritage back to Germany and a hundred years ago German was as ubiquitous on American streets as Spanish is today. When the AEF occupied the Rhineland after the war, thousands of German speaking Doughboys looked up relatives. Quote Sailer, 'Although we are constantly lectured on the crucial role of immigrants in American history, the vast contributions of Germans to American culture have been vanishingly hard to notice for the last century due to the anti-German craze unleashed during the Great War, which shoved German-Americans into becoming the least assertive of our ethnicities.' The Stroocks thought we were Dutch till our sister's research found that Samuel Stroock, who arrived in America in the 1850s, was born in Germany. Why did our grandfather, born 1922, think he was Dutch? Our best theory remains that given anti-Kraut sentiment, the family decided being Dutch was a better idea than being one of those sinister Germans. 

Wednesday Russian et al

Good Morning! Our latest bit of Russian collusion with Inforos is out:  'A wave of leftist rioting and looting followed the police murder of George Floyd. The Establishment and the media stoked the riots, encouraged them, and made excuses. Biden campaign staffers contributed to rioter bail funds. Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler tried to de-escalate the situation there, only to see Antifa in the streets every night. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Fry tried to address a BLM rally and was turned away by a crowd shouting ‘shame’ after him. They’re not gonna let up and they should not,’ Vice President-Elect Kamal Harris said of the George Floyd rioters. They were ‘mostly peaceful’, the Dems and the media said. On January 6th, the day Congress met to certify the Electoral College vote, more than 200,000 Trump supporters gathered on the Washington Mall....' There's nothing quite like turning in an article before bed and seeing it published upon waking.

The Critical Drinker is always right. Here's a great vid on the war at Lucas Films between John Favreau and Kathleen Kennedy. May the Force be with you, Star Wars is so simple. A restless young man on the farm, a rogue, a princess, a villain who serves an evil god...Whoever wrote The Epic of Gilgamesh would totally get it. Walk into Shakespeare's office with this outline, he'd look it over, make a note and say, 'Come back on Thursday.' It's so simple.

Did we mention that The Critical Drinker is always right? Here's his review of The Expanse. Season-1 was the best season of TV scifi since season-4 of TNG. Speaking of, The Expanse's season-4 just sucked balls, but we're halfway through season-5 and it's almost all the way back.

Gab is slow as heck with all the refugees from Twitter. Be patient. Parler has found a new hosting service, the same folks who host Gab. This blog is wondering when it will get cancelled and how far it will go. A few friends have left FB, and to be honest, we'd leave it as well were it not for the familial, personal and professional contacts we've made.  

Apropos of having just popped by the Times of Israel, here's the latest polling data for March's elections: 'The Channel 12 survey gave Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party the most seats (29), followed by Gideon Sa’ar’s New Hope (16), Naftali Bennett’s Yamina (13), Yair Lapid’s Yesh Atid (13), the Joint List (10), Shas (8), United Torah Judaism (8), Yisrael Beytenu (7), Ron Huldai’s The Israelis (6), Meretz (5), and Blue and White (5).' That's three rightwing parties at the top followed by a centrist party. Labour doesn't even make the top ten. Were the top three parties to combine with Yisrael Beytenu they'd have a government. But at this point Israeli elections are about one thing, Bibi and they all hate his guts.
