World news coverage, like American news coverage, is harsh and depressing. Why not allow ourselves a little humorous detour through the most recent conspiracy theory?
We live more and more divided between the real world and a parallel universe where, unfortunately, more and more people prefer to take refuge and never leave.
Several politicians are trying to reach this clientele and the defeated candidate in the Republican primaries, Vivek Ramaswamy, will stop at nothing!

The Swift phenomenon and the NFL
Like many other football fans, I do not shy away from my pleasure in January and February. Now that we know the finalists for the Super Bowl, we have two weeks left to complete the preparations and, above all, play stage manager.
To the usual comparisons of strengths and weaknesses, this year we must add an external factor, the relationship of Chiefs receiver Travis Kelce with the world star of the day, Taylor Swift!
While Swifties are already betting on the chances that Taylor will be able to make the trip from Japan (where she’s doing a show the day before) to Las Vegas in time, others are noting how her presence during the season has been good for the business.
The fallout from Taylor Swift’s interest in Kelce and the Chiefs is estimated at $330 million for the NFL.
The most recent example of the phenomenon in the media coverage, after the victory of Andy Reid’s troops against the favorites, the Ravens, we talked more about the kiss between the two famous lovebirds than about the result!
The NFL votes for Biden!
You may be tempted to conclude that it is the financial benefits that would encourage the NFL to favor the Chiefs during the annual high mass of football.
First of all, you would be playing into the hands of the conspiracy theorists since there is no proof of this deception, but you would be completely wrong!!! Vivek Ramaswamy takes us to the next level of conspiracy!!
A bit like I did in a text a short time ago, CNN confirmed yesterday that Joe Biden’s team would court Taylor Swift. The star reaches a very large audience, young and old, and we cling to his social networks to detect the slightest trend.
This is where Ramaswamy gets the ball. If we rig the Super Bowl in favor of the representatives of Missouri, it is to 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 zealous supporters, and Ramaswamy is one, this is my favorite and it made me laugh.
That said, let’s get back to “serious” things. I also believe the Chiefs will overcome the formidable San Francisco machine and Brock Purdy (I’d like to see him win), but it will be because of the team’s experience and not because Taylor votes Democratic.
