Tuesday, October 31, 2023Nolte: Taylor Swift Humiliates Hollywood Again — Trounces Leo’s ‘Flower Moon’
John Nolte — 21 Oct 2023
*** begin quote ***
Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour was produced by … Taylor Swift and her team. It was also distributed by … Taylor Swift and her team. Swift Inc. froze Hollywood out and went straight to the theater chains. The result has been a box office triumph. In its first weekend, The Eras Tour grossed $93 million domestic and $124 million worldwide. After only three days, Swift already had the highest-grossing concert film in history. Moreover, she enjoyed the second biggest October opening weekend ever. Only Joker (2019) topped her, and…
Hollywood had nothing to do with any of it.
Hollywood did not make one penny off of it.
And…
This so terrifies Hollywood that Hollywood’s palace guards at the far-left Hollywood Reporter spent 1,500 words last week spinning Swift’s box office triumph into a mistake. And what was the mistake? She didn’t distribute The Eras Tour through the same studios that advertise at the far-left Hollywood Reporter.
*** end quote ***
And it couldn’t happen to a worse group of people. They deserve to be punished financially. And content creators don’t need them.

RANT: Isn’t a “transfer their franchise to a family member” a taxable event?

Existing franchisees who plan to maintain their current footprint or who buy a franchise from another operator, as well as those who rebuild existing locations or transfer their franchise to a family member, will not be affected by the price hike.

Isn’t that a taxable event?

What’s wrong with “juvenile” justice!
Monday, October 30, 2023The teen was arrested nearby for the execution-style slaying and charged with second-degree murder as a juvenile — meaning that he faced up to 15 years behind bars, rather than the maximum of 25 years to life for an adult defendant.

Sorry but a person accused of “murder” should never be tried as a “juvenile”!

GUNS: “Never ever give up your guns, because the minute you do you become a helpless victim”

Hamas Massacres: The New Face of Gun Control
By Hank Vanderbeek
*** begin quote ***
Blizovsky told the Times he believes the atrocities committed by Hamas could have been avoided if more Israeli civilians had firearms.
Never ever give up your guns, because the minute you do you become a helpless victim. You never know when something like an inhumane attack on the homeland will happen. We have open borders through which illegal immigrants pour in from the entire world. We are not just talking about refugees from Central America and Mexico. Deranged Middle Easterners are entering unfettered. What are their plans? Entire terror cells could be walking across the borders.
Don’t believe someone who tells you to give up your guns to make society safe. The Second Amendment allows us to keep and bears arms to keep us safe, not to take our arms to keep us safe.
In the end, Stern said the Israeli government’s restriction on civilian firearms ownership cost hundreds of civilian lives. That grave injustice should never be forgotten.
*** end quote ***
Sorry, but the Gooferment is the “gang that can’t shoot straight” and can’t protect its citizens. The police come after the fact and draw chalk lines around the dead victims.
We need to go back to the Old West ethic that everyone is responsible for “keeping the peace”.
Everyone needs to be armed at all times if they feel capable of doing it.

RANT: Ranked choice voting would obviate these deadlocks
Sunday, October 29, 2023FROM 1440 NEWS
*** begin quote ***
House Republicans remove Rep. Jim Jordan as House speaker nominee.
The removal, by a closed-door vote, comes after Jordan (R, OH-4) failed to secure the gavel in the third round of voting Friday. He received 194 votes, down from 199 in the second ballot and 200 from the first. All House Democrats continued to back House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D, NY-8). House Republicans will restart the speaker nominee process Monday.
*** end quote ***
Ranked Choice Voting would have settled this impasse on the first ballot.
It really should be the way ALL voting is conducted.
However, we may find that “NONE OF THE ABOVE” is always the winner.

POLITICAL: Why do “celebrities” threaten to leave and then never seem to follow thoru?
Saturday, October 28, 2023Cher Says She will Leave the U.S. if Trump Gets Re-elected
Alana Mastrangelo — 18 Oct 20233,829
*** begin quote ***
Left-wing pop star Cher says she will leave the United States if former President Donald Trump is re-elected, claiming that she “almost got an ulcer” when Trump was elected president in 2016.
*** end quote ***
Cher must be trying to get on my “Jane Fonda” list.
I remember many “celebrities” threatening to leave the USA for some reason or another, but yet never leaving.
Now, anyone, who reads my blog, know that I regard “celebrities” as nothing more than very well trained “performing seals” even if very well paid. They have no special other qualifications other than a very heightened sense of their value.
So, I think when you threaten to leave, “We, The Sheeple” should insist on follow thru.
Argh!

Trump Plots to Pull Out of NATO — If He Doesn’t Get His Way
10/27/2023, 11:02:03 AM · 54 of 54
Vaduz to McGruff
President Joe Biden’s reelection campaign is attacking former President Donald Trump’s over a new report alleging that he wants to withdraw from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
The Penn Biden Center’s website focused on strengthening American global leadership by addressing threats to the Liberal International Order.
Trump is spot on
*** end quote ***

Absolutely, NATO is a vestige of the Cold War and needs to be dissolved. It allows Europe to palm off self-defense costs to the USA. BTW the USA is broke. And, needlessly provides billets for high ranking USA military who should be declared surplus.
Argh!

ECONOMICS: Companies shouldnt’t change the Customer’s experience without very careful consideration
Friday, October 27, 2023Delta Air Lines backtracks changes to its SkyMiles program after customer revolt
By Associated Press
Published Oct. 18, 2023, 6:36 p.m. ET
*** begin quote ***
Henry Harteveldt, a travel analyst at Atmosphere Research Group, said some SkyMiles members will still be unhappy about Delta moving to an entirely spending-based program, and will view even the reduced requirements as too rich.
“I don’t think these concessions are going to go far enough to placate the disgruntled Medallions,” he said. “Given the mercenary mindset that many travelers have, they will fly other airlines and not look back.”
Less than two weeks after Delta announced the SkyMiles overhaul, Bastian announced that the Atlanta-based airline was taking another look at the matter. He said Delta “probably went too far” with the proposed changes.
*** end quote ***
File this under “If it’s not broke, don’t fix it”.
You’d think that a CEO, or more likely the CFO, would have an eagle’s eye focus on <synonym for the act of procreation> with the Customer experience!
Was anyone watching Bud Light’s self-inflicted suicide?
Customer reactions are in vogue now. People are saying ‘I’M AS MAD AS HELL, AND I’M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!’
Don’t do anything to disturb that nice steady cash flow.
# – # – # – # – #
‘I’M AS MAD AS HELL, AND I’M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!’ I want you to get up right now, sit up, go to your windows, open them and stick your head out and yell – ‘I’m as mad as hell and I’m not going to take this anymore!’ Things have got to change. But first, you’ve gotta get mad!… You’ve got to say, ‘I’m as mad as hell, and I’m not going to take this anymore!’ Then we’ll figure out what to do about the depression and the inflation and the oil crisis. But first get up out of your chairs, open the window, stick your head out, and yell, and say it: [screaming at the top of his lungs] “I’M AS MAD AS HELL, AND I’M NOT GOING TO TAKE THIS ANYMORE!” — the character Howard Beale played by Peter Finch in the movie Network (1976)
