Disney; DeSantis only play

 Anyone reading US political news will have noted that aside from Trump no one is getting any real airplay.  The entire GOP field has been dragged into Trumps troubles with little grit from the participants to do anything about it.  I mean Trump even got them to sign a pledge that if they were elected president they would pardon him…

So DeSantis for all his fault is an intelligent guy, maybe a bit on the spectrum but a smart guy, the only way he stays in the press is to do outrageous things in Florida.  His fight with Disney is a good example.  It will not be legally resolved until the primaries are done.  It gives him his only real option to stay in the media’s attention.  It’s not a great option, but it’s better than nothing!

After the primaries he can always change his mind and the lawsuit will go away, or if he running as the GOP nominee for president well he will no longer be Governor (according to Florida laws he should already have resigned. But the GOP has 70% control of government so they do what they want.)

Assume that DeSantis will continue his attacks,  I would expect that he will soon try to hamper the park’s operations.  I know that if I were him that’s what I would do.  Making life miserable for others is something the GOP is very good at doings.  First step remove the firefighter force.  That will force Disney world to shut down until they can figure something out.  

Governments have tons of ways they can inconvenience private businesses, if I were one of the 7 GOP dwarfs I would use the nuclear strategy to remain relevant.  It is after all DeSantis only hope to breakout.  He is apparently not very approachable and a bit of a dick.  These are the features he should emphasize.  Already vetoing flood prevention measures in area near Disney World is a good move.  It will resonate with GOP primaries voters who will enjoy sticking it to “woke workers” of Disney!  

Is it insane to hurt you constituents?  Yes but that has never stopped the GOP before and DeSantis emotional intelligence is so low that it’s almost certain that he will go nuclear independently from the harm he does to Florida’s economy.  After all Florida is only an electoral prop for DeSantis, might as well maximize its use.

That is DeSantis thinking outside the box, and it may well work especially if Trump makes is easier for the DOJ to convict him.  I would also suspect that there will be further searches of his offices to find other top secret documents still missing.

Anyway, DeSantis game plan is probably the best of all those running for the GOP nomination.  Right now his approval rating is low, but once Trump Is out of the running the he looks good

Spray painting Taylor Swift G650 aircraft (updated)

 First, a bit of paint will not harm anyone.  These climate activities are going to learn two things in the next few days:  (1) Trespassing at an airport is a felony almost anywhere in the world.  That means criminal prosecution.   (2) removing paint from an aircraft is expensive.   So these climate activists are about to find out the reach of the British criminal system and it will not be pleasant, the UK has very strict laws about that, I would be surprised if cleaning the aircraft of all the paint will cost less than $100,000.     I am sure that when they planned (premeditation) this little show they had a very valid logic to doing this.  Tonight, they are probably realizing the depth of their troubles.   I understand that in the UK it's a minimum one-year jail sentence.    Also, good luck travelling with a criminal trespass charge against you.  I am relatively certain that the airline industry will ...

Tariffs on inhabited Island

 Two seldom-visited islands, part of Australia, saw a massive increase in the tariffs they will face when exporting to the United States.   The 32,000 residents did not have much to say...being Penguines.   NO kidding, massive tariffs were imposed on Heard Island and McDonald Islands.  According to the Australian government, the last visitor to Heard was about a decade ago.   Never mind the 47% tariff on Madagascar, where the principal export is Vanilla and the GDP per capita is less than $500 a year. Not only a Stable Genus but evidently an administration that took all of two hours to proof the list of countries.    They also treated St Pierre & Miquelon, two islands part of France in the middle of the St Lawrence Gulf...

Britain, France and Egypt

 The voters realize now that the Conservative Praty desire to return to 19th-century dominance has driven its hatred of the EU.  The voters realize now that departure from the EU has accelerated Britain's decline and may soon make it irrelevant.  At best it will have to kiss American arses to maintain its standing.  For this, the conservatives were punished.  The decline of Britain was inevitable, competition from Frankfurt and Germany in Finance was bound to grow.  The core of Europe (aka Germany) is aging quickly Macron seems to be winning his bet, the left alliance that won the legislative elections will not remain united for long, since they disagree on about everything.   The Far right though it was about to assume power is once again relegated to the back of the bus.   It may draw its own conclusions, but not all of these are good for France.  The far-right has won nearly 1/3rd of the electorate, that is not something to be ig...
