Global reporting, like American reporting, is harsh and depressing. Why don't we treat ourselves to a little humorous detour into the latest conspiracy theory?
We live more and more divided between the real world and a parallel universe in which, unfortunately, more and more people prefer to seek refuge and never leave.
Several politicians are trying to reach this clientele, and the losing candidate in the Republican primary, Vivek Ramaswamy, will stop at nothing!
- Listen to the American political column with Professor Luc Laliberté about QUB :
The Swift Phenomenon and the NFL
Like many other football fans, I don't shy away from having fun in January and February. Now that we know the finalists for the Super Bowl, we still have two weeks to complete the preparations and, most importantly, play stage manager.
To the usual comparisons of strengths and weaknesses, this year we have to add an external factor, the relationship between Chiefs receiver Travis Kelce and then-world star Taylor Swift!
While Swifties are already betting that Taylor can make the trip from Japan (where she's performing a show the day before) to Las Vegas on time, others note that her presence during the season has been good for business.
The impact of Taylor Swift's interest in Kelce and the Chiefs is estimated to be $330 million for the NFL.
The latest example of the phenomenon in media coverage: After Andy Reid's team's victory against the favorites, the Ravens, we talked more about the kiss between the two famous lovebirds than about the result!
The NFL elects Biden!
You might be tempted to conclude that it is the financial benefits that would lead the NFL to favor the Chiefs during football's annual peak.
Firstly, you would be playing into the hands of the conspiracy theorists as there is no evidence of this deception, but you would be dead wrong!!! Vivek Ramaswamy takes us to the next level of conspiracy!!
Similar to what I did in a recent text, CNN confirmed yesterday that Joe Biden's team would be courting Taylor Swift. The star reaches a very large audience, young and old, and we cling to his social networks to catch the slightest trend.
Ramaswamy gets the ball here. If we manipulate the Super Bowl in favor of the Missouri representatives, then it should allow the global star to benefit from a gigantic platform to announce his support for the outgoing President!!
Of all the crazy theories from Donald Trump's most ardent supporters, and Ramaswamy is one of them, this one is my favorite and it made me laugh.
However, let’s get back to the “serious” stuff. I also believe the Chiefs will beat the formidable machine of San Francisco and Brock Purdy (I'd like to see him win), but that will be because of the team's experience and not because Taylor votes democratically.
