3. Second housekeeping … comments at HQ

Whether to run as screenshots, text, whether to skip over … nothing to do with whim, all to do with which is immediately necessary at this time … whether to repeat urls here, whether to leave them in comments, do we need them as bot-able text or less bot-able screenshot … I’d strongly suggest any archivable part you archive for yourself as you go … you do need a paper copy of important urls to your mind … do not rely on the blog record, you saw what happened to N.O., right?

2. Steve at 973

Four: Vegan Transgender Extremist Zizian Cult Linked to Multiple Murders (like some dystopian film, only for real … Zelensky, EU, German far-left … much more…..

Three: DOGE Dividend Payments … more sackings … activist judges … crazed Catholic bishops … much more…..

Two: Uke sit-rep … Trump-Zelensky … much more…..

One: Covid vaccine faces ban for all Americans … bird flu … solar power … USAID … much more…..

1. Some domestic “housekeeping”

Frankly, though things just now are comparatively deliriously good here on the domestic, food, water, health, blog availability front pour moi … they are due to change in the summer and it will be a case of me disappearing, then reappearing … cunning plan is with minimal disturbance to the blogs as you know them, Unherdables, but I suspect with much reduced output.

Let’s meet that as and when it happens. Meanwhile, certain things, even in the best of circumstances which I’m currently in, still require certain things to be present.

Elektrickery. Hugely reduced recharging ability will become the most noticeable, plus water supply, not noticeable to you from here but most noticeable to me … they’re just a case of organisation.

Organisation is paramount, efficiency, living in a more minimalist way but still with human needs covered. Which brings me to mental health.

Mental health has many components … spiritual (ability to cope, carry on, think, not in a brain fog), physical (meds, age, fitness, warm/cool, interacting with you lot), simply financial.

Interference by gummint is a massive one … just looking at the Uke and Zelensky, his circumstances, which by definition had an end date, he just did not know when … plus by marauders (we all know by whom, the west blogs on it right now), plus simple changed circumstances.

Morale. To my mind, such as it is this February, nearing the end of my birthday fortnight on the 23rd, these four outlets (yes, inc. UHC and Jstack, plus X and Gab, plus your blogs or vlogs) begin to assume an even more prominent place in our personal world, our circle of activity, as unaltered as we can possibly make it … they help to anchor not just myself but also many of you to some sort of reality, of reason.

That’s about it for now.

(1650) Was a bit out of it this afternoon, half back now.

 

21. Vladimir Putin on the fact that “just tea” with Trump will not work

“I would like to meet with Donald, we have not seen each other for a long time. We do not have close relations with him, but nevertheless in the past years, during the four years of work when he was president, we met and discussed our interstate relations. I would like to meet with him today. I think he too, that was clear from the nature of our telephone conversation. But we are in such a position that it is not enough to just meet and drink tea and coffee, sit and talk about the future. We need to ensure that our teams prepare issues that are extremely important for both the United States and Russia, including on the Ukrainian track, in order to come to solutions acceptable to both sides.”

Moscow also told the EU: You have excluded yourself from the negotiations – return is possible only when you leave Ukraine.

20. IYE in HQ comments

The cold map across the pond.

18. Steve at 973

a. Stephen Miller just ROASTED a CNN anchor “I understand that even a temporary interruption in federal employment is a great crisis—a catastrophe for you and for CNN.” “You wanna have a conversation about transparency? Let me ask you a question: Do you have any idea where the $22 BILLION Health and Human Services provided to illegal aliens under Joe Biden is right now?”

b. War Room:

• Natalie Winters: Crisis Actor: Former USAID Employee Called For MAGA Supporters To Be Exterminated

• Dave Brat Details The Collapse Of American Manufacturing And The Job Crisis

• Ben Harnwell: EU divided as German Chancellor Storms Out of Paris summit slamming UK’s call for troops to [The] Ukraine

c. From HQ:

One more thing, a source from Langley; as reported in the New York Post, is saying the CIA is pulling resources out from the Ukraine border and down onto the US-Mexico border. That is all.

d. Flynn at HQ.

17. Sit-rep from conference

16. Julie Kelly again – muh action across the pond

”I feel like my birthday came 7 months early today with all the amazing news out of DOJ. Denise Cheung, a former top aide to Eric Holderr, just quit her role as head of criminal division for the DC US Attorney’s office. She was promoted to that position by Matthew Graves, the former DC US attorney.

Reports say she–apparently taking the Danielle Sassoon route of defying an order–resigned rather than look into contract awarded under the Biden adm and potentially freeze the contractor’s assets. She, like Danielle Sassoon, claimed the request ran contrary to her oath “to support and defend the Constitution.”

Oh really, Denise?

Where was this dedication to your “oath” when Graves promoted you to chief of the criminal division to help investigate President Trump over Jan 6? Or when your office helped pursue convictions of Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro? Or round up almost 1,600 Americans who protested the 2020 election on January 6?

What a clarifying period for the DOJ as these prosecutors reveals themselves to be exactly who we thought they were–self-serving, unaccountable, and arrogant Democratic operatives LARPing as government lawyers.”

 

Been thinking about films and it’s difficult not to run something in the timeslot which appears on Wednesdays and Saturdays but if they’re not really good B films, then … well … let’s not. Also, it really helps if IMDb or Wiki give it an edge … some behind the scenes drama perhaps, some historical thingy … which this one has (more below the film):

And here’s a review to give it that edge:

“I agree with virtually all that has been written about this film. It is true that Alice Faye’s part seems to be less than fully fleshed out. According to Alice, who was a dear friend of our family for many years, the reason she left pictures in a huff following her initial screening of the film was because most of her finest scenes were left on the cutting room floor. Zanick perceived an opportunity to beef up Linda Darnell’s part by downplaying Alice’s character. Zanick was having a romance with Darnell and wanted to give her part more prominence than the writer or Preminger intended. His ploy worked, but Alice was indeed so furious at what she perceived as sabotage to her part, she left the studio that very day and never returned. Since this left her in violation of her contract, Zanick saw to it that Alice was not hired by any other studio. As a consequence, she and husband Phil Harris turned to radio in the Phil Harris Alice Faye Show for eight years and it was a major success.

When Alice did agree, after fifteen years away from the screen, to appear as Pat Boone’s mother in the remake of State Fair. Again, she was disappointed as the director Henry King, whom she had been promised would do the film, was reassigned and the film given to Jose Ferrer, who had never been to a state fair or directed a film. Thereafter Alice appeared only in a few bit parts and left screen roles completely.

But, I think Alice under-appreciated the work she did in Fallen Angel. The critics were not that hard on her, but she really wanted to make a major success in a dramatic role and unfortunately that didn’t happen. The film, however, is very much worth seeing and has never been available on video previously. Hindsight is a wonderful thing.”

(1107) Happy elevenses. (1135)

 

15. Sigh

14. TR in prison

(0800) Morning all … finally light, sky nondescript as usual. (1006)

 

13. Well yes

However, in the UK, the regulations to be complied with are beyond bearable. Sensible regs are one thing but this is almost mania.

12. Downunder politics is worth a glance

In ordinary times, the Labor vote is reckoned at around 40% and an outsider would wonder why … even today, Gough Whitlam is still widely admired, ditto Bob Hawke. The equivalent of the UK Conservatives, wet and dry, are Menzies’ legacy Liberal Party, which illustrates that the US and Aus definitions of that word are widely divergent. Their vote is usually around 30-35%.

To become a govt, therefore, they’ve always needed a coalition partner … it’s been the Country Party, now National … the farmers, the landed gentry, at around 10%. Then a whole host of mainly leftwingers on the ballot paper. There was a third larger party too, which varied greatly over the years.

Labor is red, “Tories” are blue, the third party usually yellow … did they copy the UK or the other way around? That’s as far as I can remember it.

This was interesting to me this morning:

Why say “disappointment” when they were designed to be the blue component of the Uniparty? Jonathan Swift had it nailed long ago … red-blue, blue-red, take turns, nothing changes except a lot of bombastic rhetoric.

Thus it has always needed a charismatic, flamboyant figure to say no to them. In the US, the chance is that DJT did not decide to go third party but part of the Uniparty … 🍿🍿🍿

 

Think I found interesting here was you were getting it, hopefully honestly, from a dealer’s point of view … it goes into all the bits and pieces to look for, the pitfalls of various people in the chain … and so on:

(0621) Still dark out there. (0641)

 

11. DAD at 973

a) From Taylor Swift dance classes to Christmas markets to ….. just a few years ago would not have needed special considerations or caused parents to worry about their children…..

b) Paris on Monday, February 17th, once again highlighted the absence of a common policy within the European Union, particularly concerning the war in Ukraine…..

c) Orban: the globalist-liberal-Soros NGO network is fleeing to Brussels…..

10. Scam after scam after scam

9. Are they waking up to Woke or is it just customers?

8. I’ve quoted this young lady a few times

Former nurse, refused the jab, fired, whistleblew … the rest followed … lives on a narrowboat, brother keeps an eye on her. Two quotes I keep seem perspicacious to me:

7. Julie Kelly on X

… who is usually reliable, has added to the earlier Gab report:

“Guys, I am sorry for all the good news about DOJ but there is more. A source just confirmed to me that the remaining Biden-appointed US attorneys were fired over the weekend. Some had resigned prior to Inauguration Day while others were terminated afterwards. The ax fell on everyone else over the past few days with Biden appointees losing access to their government accounts. The list includes Jacqueline Romero of the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. In a statement released last night, Romero praised herself for her “proactive anti-crime efforts through community engagement, youth outreach, and reentry initiatives.” https://justice.gov/usao-edpa/pr/united-states-attorney-jacqueline-c-romero-concludes-her-tenure-chief-federal-law“

6. IYE late last evening

“Seen the latest abomination? “Cynthia Erivo will be playing Jesus in the upcoming Hollywood Bowl production of Jesus Christ Superstar!””

JH: Yes, I did leave out one line of IYE’s comment, which leads me to the question of how to approach HQ comments. With NOWP comments, I tend to signpost rather than rewrite in full … what about comments in HQ sidebar here? Bill may have had a point that the “don’t comply” comment was not signposted in a post … still working out how best to point to comments here and at UHC and Jstack.

5. This was also now on Gab and I need to explain

… why I use Gab as a source. First … she’s not entirely wrong here, from my reading of history:

Gab, being quite free for comment, despite A. Torba’s bias and many anti Jewish on there … the opposite is also in there … is very wild west, which means anything posted by someone probably needs confirmation elsewhere … going in starry-eyed, with confirmation bias, is not going to cut it, e.g. at Unherdables.

However … and this is a big “however” … it’s very much a place, Gab, where real revelations are made at times, well ahead of it coming out elsewhere … as I say, it’s very wild west over there and our reaction maybe should be to reserve judgment for the mo.

4. From a demonrat point of view (this also on Gab)

… Mayor Adams would have to pay for going soft on Trump and vice-versa … thus:

3. Just saw at Gab about Biden era attorneys

… all sacked … needs confirmation or not. My own question is … if so, do those people not go onto social security? And Noem’s multimillion dollar ads against immigration … is that not wholesale spending for little result?

2. Tice and Farage real worries for Reform

1. Steve at 973

Four: Trump OPM in Response to CNN’s FOIA Request … Hegseth investigating Afghan debacle … Vigano v false Pope … much more…..

Three: $4.7tn in black hole … Miller exposes fraud rings … beneficiaries found older than America … much more…..

Two: Uke sit-rep … ghosts of Minsk … Lavrov Rubio … Constantinople … much more…..

One: This was covered at Tues 17 … I’ve just found a second One, not covered here … you’ll find it at 972, below MftWC 2.
