Or maybe it’s the stupid taxes.

AI SUPPORT THIN AMONG HILL AIDES: There is a slim majority, 51 percent, of responding congressional aides who told a recent CNCT Capitol Pulse survey they “trust AI companies to police themselves.” More surprising is the partisan makeup of that majority and there are some other puzzlers in the results, as reported on HillFaith.

A GLIMPSE INTO THE FUTURE:

I laugh when I think about how horrified leftists are with current crop of Republicans.

You people have no idea what’s coming. The ones we have now are puppy dogs compared to the purposeful, angry men who are about to get involved in politics in a few years.

DEPENDS ON WHO THE ACCUSED PERPETRATORS ARE.

Left-wing activists will chant for every "abolitionist" slogan under the sun — defund the police etc. — but somehow when it comes to sex crime or Rape, they suddenly turn into the most bloodthirsty prosecutor and cop-lovers, and start demanding to vastly expand the prison state

Bangin’ soundtrack though: Why Led Zeppelin said yes to Netflix’s $280m Narnia nightmare.

Like Christopher Nolan’s Odyssey this past summer, Netflix is presuming that the right will go absolutely insane over the stunt casting of Meryl Streep portraying the voice of Aslan, propelling them to box office fortune – and they’re likely correct:

UPDATE: Greta Gerwig’s ‘Narnia’ Reportedly In Serious Trouble At Netflix.

A day after the first Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew trailer racked up thousands of dislikes and Marvel jokes, a new report says things are just as rough behind the scenes at Netflix.

Jeff Sneider reports in his InSneider newsletter that Greta Gerwig’s Narnia carries a $280 million budget, with some saying the real number is even higher.

One of Sneider’s sources says people at Netflix think the movie is “awful” and called it “a genuine problem.”

A second source, who attended a test screening over the summer, compared the movie to Disney’s 2018 A Wrinkle in Time, which reportedly lost close to $100 million.

Add to Narnia’s reported bad test screening more bad news for Netflix:

Isn’t it crazy how the moment the jihad against Paramount ended, Netflix started collapsing?

SHANGRI-LA: Scientists Had Mice Eat Olive Oil Before Carbs, And It Changed Their Blood Sugar Response.

STEPHEN MILLER: Sensing Midterm Blood in the Water, the Hibernating Woke Left Is Waking Up.

And just this past weekend, a media-driven mob has set its sights on comedian Shane Gillis (again), lashing out at his monologue as Saturday Night Live’s (SNL) guest host. Gillis performed his usual “every-man” bro-style of comedy and made comments on women’s gym attire. Gillis is usually the self-target of his own brand of self-deprecation, and this was no different. That has not stopped the BlueSkies and the media from attempting to get Gillis banned from hosting SNL for a fourth time.

Hollywood Reporter journalist Tony Maglio wrote:

“SNL attracts liberal talent and a similar audience. It films in New York City and its main target is Donald Trump. The show’s writers and cast members are generally a diverse group of Gen Z-ers that came up in improv, sketch and standup comedy. They don’t listen to Joe Rogan — Gillis’ buddy who, along with Theo Von (and Dan Soder, kind of) got a shoutout in the set — and they don’t drink the Bud Light Gillis endorses. Studio 8H is not the place for gay jokes and jokes against women.” 

That kind of blatant admission is unusual. None of this is happening in a vacuum. The media, offering their as-usual friendly assistance to Democratic Party candidates, senses blood in the water for a perceived unpopular GOP heading into a midterm election where they can claw back some kind of congressional power and cultural relevance, and if you think Woke One was crazy, we’ve gotten just a minor taste of what Woke Two is going to look like.

Ideally, there will be some punching back in response, as a wise community organizer advises his constituents:

ANNALS OF LEFTIST AUTOPHAGY: “F**k You!” Hollywood Civil War Erupts As Ari Emanuel Goes Nuclear On Legendary Kingmaker.

Emanuel claimed Katzenberg once offered to secure him a meeting with Biden in exchange for $1 million.

“Do you think I need to give you a million dollars so you can tell Joe Biden that I gave you a million dollars to meet with Joe Biden?” a stunned Emanuel recalled responding, pointing to his family ties to the former president through his brother, Rahm Emanuel, who served as chief of staff to President Barack Obama when Biden was vice president.

Emanuel also criticized Katzenberg’s role in Biden’s failed 2024 reelection effort, claiming he urged the influential Democrat fundraiser to help push the aging president out of the race.

“You say you got his ear, right? You’re the man. You’re talking to him all the time,” Emanuel recalled telling Katzenberg.

“You got to get him out,” Emanuel said he demanded, only to be met with silence.

“He gave us Karen Bass. He gave us this. And now he’s just moved on,” the superagent continued. “Most of the things he does are not about the situation. It’s about Jeffrey and the situation.”

“That shit I don’t like. I do not like it. And he did try to fuck us over twice. Fuck you,” he added.

Flashback to July of 2024: Hollywood donors ‘furious’ at movie mogul Jeffrey Katzenberg for ‘agewashing’ Biden: report.

Big-money Hollywood donors are reportedly enraged at movie mogul Jeffrey Katzenberg for the “agewashing” of President Joe Biden.

Katzenberg, who was named a campaign co-chair due to his prolific fundraising abilities, is being accused by his entertainment industry peers of misleading them by downplaying Biden’s age-related decline and failing to sound the alarm in time to allow the Democrats to pick a suitable replacement, The Ankler reported.

“Everyone in town is furious with him. Furious,” a top Hollywood observer told The Ankler when asked about donors’ views about Katzenberg, who has long insisted that the president is “fine” even though there were apparent signs of cognitive decline that came into full view during last week’s debate against Donald Trump.

The mass formation psychosis that led the entire institutional left to believe — or at least play act at believing — that Biden was in tip-top shape while fronting Obama’s third term will be analyzed for decades.

QUESTION ASKED AND ANSWERED:

This is a very good summary.

She has evaded all meaningful accountability because she and her supporters would scream “racist” at anyone who demanded it.

I think those days are at an end.

The record of her criminality is significant and compelling. https://t.co/7gZuoAz1Gw
