Bringing back Versailles

AnnAlthouse has a blogpost quoting a WaPo article about the establishment being happy they can run things again. 

Back to normal will mean more state dinners, a prestigious and glamorous way of reestablishing global ties. And it means that Washington events traditionally attended by the president and first lady for the better part of five decades — the Honors, the Alfalfa dinner, the Gridiron, Ford’s Theatre gala and the correspondents’ dinner — will likely return to their former glory."

Let them eat ice cream cake. (a saying that goes back to the days of Louis XIV, and was never said by Marie Antoinette by the way).

one of the reasons that the French revolution occurred was that the radicals manipulated the public opinion that wanted change so they could get into power. But the reason they had support is that, in a year of famine, the elite of Versailles partied on.

so is anyone noticing that the US elite are now openly rejoicing that they are again in charge?

The alternative press has noted this. However, the alternative press is being deplatformed one by one by the social media moguls with little outcry from the establishment that is pretending they want to make nice.

I am so old that I remember how the left was the one who objected to the fact that the press/MSM was run by a few rich corporations that slanted the news to control people.

but hey, even Noam Chomsky finds that he is censored (in India) for saying such things.

and the alternative media were the ones protesting how the MSM ignored stories of Biden's son's corruption, pretty well ignored the plan by the international elite to reset the economy, and the statements of those who might be in the Biden administration that the government should not put America first, but to let China take over the world.

the Biden's son's bribes job related salary for doing nothing is essentially a bribe. Given China's increased aggression against a dozen of it's neighbors, who they plan to take down one by one (the Philippines being first, because we're the weakest link) I don't find this story comforting. 

But of course, it's only a matter of time until Biden is discarded for Kamela Harris, a woman who got her influence by schmoozing around with the SanFrancisco elites but didn't win any of the Democratic primaries.

on a lighter note:
