Tres bien. French farmers protest taxation and declining income, photo by Guillaume Souvant/AFP/Getty Images, posted at theguardian.com:

Headline from nypost.com out of the UK: “Potty-mouthed parrots teaching other birds to swear as zoo hatches plan to stop problem.” Bollocks!

From NYP: “Bucket list: Widowed grandma, 75, living her ‘dream life’ as a pole dancer: ‘Totally hooked’.” There are grannies who take it much further than that.

There are new Elvis concerts, now there’s this, from NYP: “Lifelike Einstein, Hawking could be college lecturers thanks to groundbreaking hologram technology.” I’m not sure what to think about this.

I understand why leftists hate Trump. He is the biggest and perhaps only political roadblock to their domination. He is remarkable, fighting on so many fronts, as tireless as the entire left itself.

Headline from newsmax.com: “US Union Membership Rates Fall to All-Time Low.” I’m surprised. Given the left’s dominance, I’d thought they were rising. I find it encouraging that people are willing to stand on their own.

It is now common knowledge that EVs do not work in extreme cold. How do they fare in areas of extreme heat?

Headline from foxnews.com: “World Economic Forum elites blasted for talking about climate dangers posed by coffee: ‘Hands off’.” How I would love to see the know-it-alls try to ban it.

Also from FN: “Nancy Pelosi knocks Trump’s ‘cognitive disorders,’ then confuses Biden with Trump.” Old what’s his name.

From FN: “Farting Passenger Kicked Off Flight For Blasting Gas, But Aviation Experts Tell OutKick This One Doesn’t Pass The Smell Test.” Good thing I never fly. There would be a 50–50 chance I would get the boot.

On National Compliment Day the floating book shop thanks the two ladies who donated books, and Gordon, who stopped for a long schmoose despite the sprinkles. At least it isn’t snow.
