Thankfully, la BRI, le GIGN, le RAID, la DGSE, la gendarmerie nationale, le Ministre de l’Interieur, tous les forces de l’ordre, et tous les militaires feront attention pour que cet anniversaire se passe bien. Merci infiniment. Et puis, merci aux Arts Martiens, et au Côté Obscur. Je dois absolument dire merci aux Alsaciens, mais personne ne veut me dire pourquoi, c’est une affaire classée.

What’s up, everybody! It’s Monday, November 11th, 2024. In case you are unaware, 11/11 is Veteran’s Day. It honors military veterans of the United States Armed Forces. In other news, this week is a difficult remembrance for French people due to the 13 Novembre 2015, it’s been almost 9 years since that tragic day. EDIT: I will do my best to present this Monday update with a video in the future. I’m actually worried about the future of America in the next 2 months. Without a new #GermanEngineering or #JDM vehicle, a salary new job, a credit card, and a place to stay, I will be obligated to move to Europe or Japan for the next 4 years, until Trump is removed from power. I’ve lived through 1 #TrumpNightmare, I attend to be as far away from a 2nd #TrumpNightmare as possible. You want me to stay? Call it like it is, you cannot have a convicted felon as President 47th, therefore Vance will be POTUS, and whoever else is VP. Do the right thing. Save America from allowing Trump access to the RED button, something that all of us, including those in those SILOs work very hard to make sure he can’t be anywhere near that shit. I implore you. Thanks in advance.

Rappers React to Donald Trump Being Elected President Again via [XXL Magazine]

What’s up, everybody! It’s Wednesday, November 6th, 2024. Yesterday was #ElectionDay, and for some stupid weird reason, it appears that Trump was elected President. This can’t be happening. There’s about 20 million ballots missing, and Trump is a Pedophile. Thanks to #TrumpPedoFiles, he is ineligible to become President. Even if he invokes Presidential Immunity, it won’t save him in the last part of November 2024 when he stands trial. The Intelligence Community already decided, all 18 of them, that Trump was a menace and could not be a decent Commander-in-Chief, because he would be likely to press the red button, even though every previous President understand with all that power, thanks to Nuclear Deterrence, the goal is to never press that button, and that the clock stays 90 seconds to Minutes or what not, thanks to the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists. I refuse to let this slide, we won’t succumb to another #TrumpMatrix / #TrumpTVshow for another 4 years, until 2028. We won’t survive, America will turn into an apocalyptic scenario, a bit like MAD MAX, Night City (Cyberpunk 2077) or worst, Death Stranding 1 & 2. It sounds like fun for videogames, but in real life, it would be a horror show.

Until Next Time!

What’s up, everybody! It’s Wednesday, October 30th, 2024. As you prepare to celebrate Halloween either tonight or tomorrow, be sure to be safe, and always carry a battery pack in your backpack or purse. You do not want to be in the middle of nowhere with no phone charge, and get lost, it can get quite problematic. Enjoy yourselves. I’m sure I will get to celebrate, but if I do, I would love to see people dressed up as characters from the world of CYBERPUNK 2077 or Death Stranding 2. Obviously, I am a big fan of D.C. Comics, and Marvel. Any characters.

Until Next Time!
