La Tombe

My maternal grandma is 84 today !

French actress Geneviève Page, unseen for many years now, but sure she is alive....turns 97 today !

Legendary French jazzman Martial Solal dead today at 97 ! An other point for my FDL and an other drop to our next FDL 2025 !

An other blow to the French cinema at the end of this year : 3 times Cesar-winning French actor Niels Arestrup is dead at 75. RIP

David Attenborough should be brought back. As new names…Hitchcock film actress Eva Marie Saint should be added. Some others new names like architect Frank Gehry should be added and foreign people like King Harald 5 of Norway or President Paul Biya of Cameroon.

I don't see him reaching 2025 ! His death will come this month or the next one...Hospitalized from one week ago...it doesn't sense good !

I fear for tonight !

You dream on...I'm sure the gender plays a large role in the convictions of some voters....and in 2024...I think it's really sad !

0 degree of reflection there

If I would like a have a woman as president...that's does not necessarily mean I would like Marine Le Pen as president. I just hope that the criteria : women cannot be president isn't the reason why some voters are turning to Trump

Yes….I would like to have a French president who is a female.

If the world today was led by more women…the world would be better. I think so. Because most of women have more decency, are less corrupt, than some men like Trump. I’m depressed that most of countries today are still led by men since their foundation. I would like more women as president or prime minister in this world.

Despite the case about Pierre Vernier…I still like you @Gisooo

So….US elections are on Tuesday….who do you think will win ? I know that the polls are close…but do we have any idea at this point ?

Hope not

I pray for Harris....but unfortunately, it will be Trump !

The American electoral system is clearly not a model to follow around the world. Yet, many countries watch every 4 years the election….but I personally find that their system doesn’t work.

Trump will win this election by gaining the electoral college and Harris will win the popular vote....the same thing that happened in 2016.

As a Frenchman.....I don't understand how the American can be satisfied by the functioning of their presidential election. There are many thing to reconsider in the US elections....if the result of the election depends on the States...why the votes of those who voted for the loosing party in the state can not be represented in the electoral college.....For example, the voice of a Democrat voter in Texas is not counted at the end, because Texas is a Red State and the same for a Republican in California, his voice is not counted at the end because it's a Blue State. To sum up, the result of the presidential election of this country home of more than 300 millions people and 50 states depends on the decisions of thousands of voters in just 7 swing states....what a nonsense. The "Winner takes all" system is a completly nonsense.

A French famous name to the list : Martial Solal (1927)
