(0545) Good morning in the pitch black out there.

ddddd

1. This notice is for the use of our regulars

… it’s not intended for occasional visitors or stumble-upons. The sites themselves are for all of good will, with a civil tongue and not touting official narratives but this post item specifically is for those who already know their way about.

First cab off the rank today is DAD at 1273

That number in the subheading means something to regulars and I’ve been thinking whether to link or not but remember that excessive spoonfeeding is a security breach. My prime directive, as I see it, is to at least ensure that our content can be found, technically, even if at the end of a series of convoluted paths and byways, as distinct from made easy to find … a key point.

On that basis, DAD has made a translation of an article and posted in his usual drop … the full translation and link are there. This is an excerpt:

“Just a long translation this morning. It appears that the ‘Raise the Colours’ and ‘Overlord’ has caused panic in Northern France…..

The prefectures of Nord and Pas-de-Calais have issued an interdepartmental order banning a rally called “Overlord,” scheduled for Saturday, January 24, 2026, on the northern coast of France….”

A most interesting article as it has implications for the “boat people” and criminal PPPs in France.

Where to archive articles from our regulars

HQ is a mix of “du jour” reports, interspersed with my “feature items” for light relief, it’s a “signposting site” designed for shorter pieces on the whole. Sometimes I’ll run a long in places 1, 6 or 11 if it seems necessary, as this one now is, but generally, it’s screenshots (sshots), mainly from two world platforms.

However, what to do with a long from DAD? I’m thinking “masterly inactivity” is the safest way for me regarding DAD drops … readers expect to see them there. I was thinking of UHC-WP but it would unvalance and undercut to my mind.

At the same time, there’s another set of links from Steve and they pose a problem for me … not everyone is on that platform, therefore it’s on me to provide some plain text or clip outlet for the main ideas. Of course, anyone can access that platform for the full thing but some regulars prefer not … therefore they’re dependent on HQ type summaries.

However, of late, I’ve been archiving some of Steve’s at UHC-HQ and shall be doing so again in a few mins.

Archiving by sensitivity, not by seniority nor favour

This subheading is a key directive for me … it comes down to degree of sensitivity and “burying” is therefore very much my guide in deciding where to put a sensitive item. For example, the Grifty YT on Airmiles and family was buried, yet accessibly … the issue was then whether you bothered to note the url on paper or not at the time or whether you did not bother.

Coz it’s not being posted a second time. I’m assuming that you the reader are lifting a typing finger to archive things for yourself, on top of what you find out there, plus what you find here.

(1450) A bit early I know for this but snoozin’ this afternoon, watching possible YTs too. Shall add items hereonin from time to time.

Just as I ran out of re-runs from blog HQ, this appeared on YT and at first I found “Laura”, which had good reviews … too good in fact … after putting the review here, YT told me it was not available in this country. Well of course. This below seems a fairly good movie.

“Dressed To Kill” was an excellent murder mystery and the third entry in the Michael Shayne detective series of the 40’s. It is the first one I’ve seen and I enjoyed the way Lloyd Nolan fit the title character like an old shoe. It had a great supporting cast and a story to match, unlike many B murder mysteries of this era which are often formulaic and predictable.

This one took considerable thought, and both the denouement and deus ex machina are pretty clever. Shane/Nolan has to solve a double murder in which the victims are killed at a dinner table with two different guns, and along the way we get to meet some very interesting characters, played by some very interesting character actors.

We also find out that he knows nearly everybody within shouting distance, which is a formidable number of people, as this is New York City. It creates a cheerfully amiable atmosphere, despite the grumpy Chief Inspector, played by William Demarest in his customary bombastic style.

Also on hand is Henry Daniell as a theatrical snob, and Mary Beth Hughes, maybe the prettiest B picture girl who never made the jump to more important pictures.

20. Credit where credit is due

Has the Donald partly redeemed himself here?

18. That US winter storm

17. The EU milks member states of money

Where will the Ukraine get cash to pay them from … or will they be a net receiving state from all other states?

16. Going to start with the CO and EK thing (again)

🚨What is going on at Turning Point right now should be termed the Scottsdale Witch Trials. I have now gathered first-person accounts that executives are dragging people into offices asking about their allegiance to Erika. Specifically, one person was told that an uber driver…

— Candace Owens (@RealCandaceO) January 22, 2026

My position is that I don’t really know between the two … there’s been almost nothing on X which I’ve seen from EK, nor CO but once CO broke her silence and posted … followed by quite a few comments vilifying her, CO, but also a few on EK:

The one called Sheryl is a Christian Xer with a following, Planet Alison has almost no followers but is what seems secular sceptic. If we accept CO’s supporters’ summation, EK is a Zionist, not a Christian. If we accept EK’s supporters’ summation, CO is either a woman with a chip on her shoulder and largely pro Muslim, like Tucker, although she, CO, says Catholic, which is not necessarily Christian, if excessively Mary-ist.

Therefore quite hard to pin down. TPUSA still seems to be raking in the $$$$$s, quite effectively so, positioning itself as Christian. Hmmmmm, jury’s out imho … maybe all are iffy.

There is, of course, the Miles M explanation that neither CK nor JFK were dead after the “assassinations”.

 

Toodles has some suggestions:

a) Having been defeated in the Senate, Yaël Braun-Pivet, President of the National Assembly, is not waiting for the end of the Senate debate to falsely announce that she is supported by the French people.

b) Iraq: Baghdad asks Macron to repatriate its citizens imprisoned for belonging to the Islamic State.

c) Melenchon is EVIL; he is going for the Isl@mic vote.

d) What is it with NANTES? Something in tha air, the water….? Nantes (44): The LFI candidate [a Mate of Melenchon] for mayor will remove the statue of Louis XVI if she wins….

e) The French Government has a budget. Once again it survived a no-confidence vote, spared by the Socialist Party’s decision not to bring it down.

b. He also saw this in passing:

1. Just posted these on X and Gab

Donald Trump, in insulting the ordinary British person and armed forces men and women, rather than Starmer and Marxist henchmen, crossed a crass red line. He needs to apologise … not to starmer but to the ordinary Brit whom starmer hates.

Someone is appallingly advising DJT.
