Ten people in France are being tried in court for “cyber-harassment” of France’s first lady, Brigitte Macron. If convicted, they face up to two years in prison. The Macrons sued because the defendants made social media posts about the first lady’s gender identity and the fact that she groomed her husband, President Macron, when he was her 14-year-old student and she was a 39 year-old teacher. It is true that she groomed him, no matter what her gender is. His parents yanked him out of the Jesuit school where they met when they discovered the relationship but that intervention clearly did not work. The palace lied and said that the relationship began when he was 17 but he entered her class at 14, and his parents separated them at 15. It is not harassment to say that this is inappropriate but the Macrons are taking it to court anyway. The first lady sued two journalists whose work led them to question if she was born a man and a court recently overturned their convictions. This may serve as precedent to help these 10 French citizens sued by their own President. Whether or not Brigitte Macron is a man is almost irrelevant, although there is credible work pointing to the fact that she is. What is most relevant here is that the French President is suing his own constituents for what should be free speech. In a free society, you can question what your own eyes tell you.

A new study shows that the RSV vaccine is a big fat dud. It prevented a whopping three hospitalizations for every thousand people over 60. Wow. A whole three. This is the Pfizer vaccine that had Magic Johnson as its spokesperson telling us to “sideline RSV.” This is the vaccine that reported 11 deaths during the clinical trials and over 1,500 serious adverse events. So for all of that risk and marketing hoopla, the payoff is… three fewer hospitalizations? The JAMA data show no reduction in death, meaning that even the vaccinated people who wound up in the hospital had the same chance of dying as everyone else. This is pure marketing hullaballoo for a vaccine that is hardly worth getting. The results are absurdly trivial. Keep that in mind when the marketing campaign starts in on you this winter.

Israel is wiping its backside with the ceasefire that President Trump arranged for them. We knew they would but it is surprising that they’ve done it so brazenly. On Tuesday, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu said that he had ordered “forceful strikes in the Gaza Strip” due to “security consultations.” Israel claims the strikes were retaliation for a Hamas attack on its forces and says it has not yet received the remains of deceased hostages that were promised. Hamas, for its part, says it’s trying to recover the remains but needs “heavy equipment.” Why? Because Gaza is a wasteland of destroyed buildings. It stands to reason that they would need heavy machinery to retrieve so much as a family pet. Netanyahu warned on Monday that he was not going to be bound by what the U.S. wants in the most direct response to accusations of government infiltration that we’ve ever seen. He said the notion that he controls the U.S. government is a joke, and the idea that the U.S. controls Israel is just as absurd. In other words: they’ll do what they want. This is an embarrassment for President Trump who so loudly victory-lapped his peace agreement. How will he respond? If past is prologue, he’ll release a strongly worded Truth Social about Hamas.
