FLEXIBLE AND ADAPTIVE IS WHERE SURVIVAL IS:  Sticks and Stones…

THERE’S NO POINT REGRETTING THE PAST. ALWAYS WORK FOR THE FUTURE:  The Years Undone.

IF ISRAEL TREATS GAZA LIKE THE ALLIES TREATED DRESDEN OR TOKYO, HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL REALLY CARE?

I think these reactions are basically a go-ahead.

A FRIEND WRITES:

I have to assume Kash Patel is taking all precautions to keep himself from being set up by the premier set-up law enforcement agency on the planet.

Anything from straight-up assassination to some kind of golden showers child porn fakery, whatever.

You know they aren’t just thinking about it. Someone’s working on it.

You’d be crazy to think otherwise at this point. But I think Kash knows that better than we do.

OPEN THREAD: Happy Thursday.

EVERY DAY IS CHRISTMAS (CONT’D):

EVERY DAY IS LIKE CHRISTMAS: Feel Good Story of the Day: He Was Suspended for Helping DOGE; Now He Runs the Agency. “Leland Dudek learned that lesson the hard way: he decided to work with DOGE despite his boss’s opposition, and he was suspended for doing so. But a funny thing happened in Trump’s federal government: Dudek wound up with the top job while the bosses who were impeding him were shown the door.”

AMERICANS: “Do you think Democrats learned anything from their historic loss last November?”

BLOFELD HAS WON: James Bond’s long-serving producers give control to Amazon.

The James Bond film franchise will no longer be controlled by the Broccoli dynasty, after long-serving masterminds Barbara Broccoli and Michael G Wilson announced they are stepping down.

The Bond films were launched by Albert “Cubby” Broccoli in 1962, before his daughter and stepson took over.

The pair will now give creative control to Amazon MGM Studios, which was formed when Amazon bought Bond’s parent studio in 2022.

The new deal comes after mounting speculation about the fate of the British spy, four years after his last outing in No Time to Die, which was also Daniel Craig’s final appearance in the role.

Amazon will now decide which actor will take over the famous character, but there is still no timescale for when that that will happen or when the next film will be made.

Flashback to December: Amazon Owns James Bond. Unfortunately It Hates Men. “‘I have to be honest, I don’t think James Bond is a hero,’ one Amazon executive said during a recent meeting about upcoming Bond content, the outlet reported. That quote seemed to point to Broccoli’s fear that Amazon does not understand the very character that she has dedicated her career to. Of course not. If you’re a woke, why would you think a white very heterosexual male defending a colonialist entity using violence against justice-involved persons is a hero?”

UPDATE: Amazon MGM Studios Shelled Out An Extra $1 Billion-Plus To Take Control Of James Bond: What’s Next For The Franchise.
