12. The issue with Russia
Even though I was cocooned to a great extent over there (they protected what they saw as their college asset for some years), there were many times I was face to face with the native. If female, it was almost always pleasant … if male, it depended, esp. with young hoods in the yards.
The Uke thing has been just as distressing for Russians … former bros and sisses made enemies by the CIA, NATO, Britain and the EU honchos above … Russia truly had no option, knowing they’d be vilified. The USSR? Different other animal, inc. both countries.
Thank goodness Brits, Europeans and Americans are now starting to wake up to just whom Russia is fighting.
I’m thinking we need to forget this good guy bad guy epithet … Russia is just a sovereign nation … it’s always going to defend itself against a western agency like CIA/NATO which it feels is out to destroy it. Memories of WW2 and the years around it are still fresh. It’s always wanted to be the eastern part of Christendom and Empire.
Question is … in whose interest is it that Christendom be fractured?

Still can’t get my head around the fact she was married to Newsom before she shacked up with Don Jr.😳
b. Martin and Anita Nesbitt. Allegedly.
Webster Hubbell former Mayor of Little Rock. Allegedly. A real looker. 👀
While the claim that Bill Clinton may not be the biological father to daughter Chelsea came as a shock to the public, to those living in the alleged baby daddy’s state of Arkansas it was the best unkept secret in town.
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, former Clinton aide Larry Nichols claims Chelsea’s real father is the former mayor of Little Rock, Ark., Webster Hubbell.
“We were discussing a woman’s claims that Bill had knocked her up and what we should do about it,” said Nichols. “But he denied that he could have gotten her pregnant. He said he had measles as a kid and that rendered him sterile.
“His exact words were, ‘I shoot blanks.’ Stunned by what I’d just heard, I asked him, ‘Then what about Chelsea?’ And he said, ‘Oh, Webb (Hubbell) sired her.’”
And now the paternity bombshell news is exploding with a new report from The National ENQUIRER revealing that Hillary’s alleged affair with Hubbell was a not-so-well-kept secret in Little Rock’s top political circles.
“That was rumored in Arkansas for years and totally public. A lot of people suspected that,” Businessman Finis Shelnutt told The ENQUIRER in an interview.
6. Out or not out?
Pundits/admins make decisions based on what comes through, what they’ve been able to dig out.
Sitting here now are four musical pieces planned for Sunday jazz, loosely following on from the shimmying and zydeco posts … in other words, cross-genre music from the early days (a different thing to “crossover artists). It’s generally about the earliest years of popular music from ragtime to swing.
Trouble is, four songs are too many for Sunday afternoon, particularly the Brendan Kavanaugh live footage and the same with Keith Emerson. It seems to make more sense splitting it into two halves … Jelly-Roll, Midnight Rounders and Brendan on Sunday … Oscar Peterson and Keith Emerson now.
There’s a second and third reason with the admin’s hat on … sitting here, making it difficult to find various polit sshots, are 4 sshot comments on the meeting of the two artists in the 70s, plus the rare video. That word “rare” is what tips the balance … not wise to keep a rarity back because YT or uploaders may have, and have had, other ideas.
Plus there is currently nothing else for this slot today. Plus I’m not 100%, healthwise right now, some things to sort out today.
When you (further) look at Keith Emerson and his various health issues, physical and mental, and how he departed this world … it was even more amazing how he managed this TV episode. It’s not lost on us how OP, as part of that ethnicity spawning ragtime, the blues and the advent of vocal-less jazz, was quite gracious about this Englishman. Worth viewing imho.
Speaking personally, I was never crazy about the prog thing back then … sorry to blaspheme but I found Floyd only occasionally interesting, the whole Clapton, Beck, Page, Emerson, Alvin Lee seemed to me to be just guys trying to play superfast, rather than feeling the music, plus it was always a deep, melodic groove with variations above it which counted … less of the “cleverness”, “look at me” and more of a satisfying and varied whole, not unlike basso-continuo during baroque. To my mind, ELP were too “treble”, lacking groove … kudos for technical skill though.
(0450) Still dark out there. (0636)
5. Take both these sshots together
… to get a better idea who they are.
4. DAD at 1516
a) UN officials have admitted the United Nations is on the brink of complete financial collapse because member states are refusing to pay their dues. “We face a real danger of running out of money.”
b) France. A 14-year-old student opened fire at Joseph-Lakanal middle school in Aubagne on Monday, wounding the principal and a teacher before being disarmed by staff. The attack comes after weeks of student riots, arson and assaults on teachers across the country.
c) French President Emmanuel Macron is said to be furious after a television news broadcast showed a protest placard containing a vulgar reference to his relationship with his wife Brigitte, who was once his teacher. Among the slogans appearing regularly at the demonstrations is “Macron bz ta prof, pas les nôtres,” which roughly translates as “Macron, f*ck your teacher, not ours.”
d) Brussels Releases Rioting Minors Due to Detention Shortage. Brussels prosecutors released sixteen minors arrested during violent riots because Belgium’s youth detention system has no available space, even for youths caught with Molotov cocktails.
e) France. According to Causeur, Jonathan Siksou has published a short but incisive essay titled “Le saccage de la beauté” (The Destruction of Beauty) with the subtitle “Why Our World Is Growing Uglier” in the Pensée Libre collection at Fayard publishing house. The work has been praised for its unapologetic defence of traditional beauty and its refusal to surrender to what the author characterises as systematic cultural vandalism.
3. This is the big story on X right now
… taken up by all the lady pundits:

1. Americans for Limited Government
… has always seemed, to me, to be some guy in his basement becoming a “center” … he’s certainly not much quoted across the pond, yet he’s a steady source of trad conservative thought (small c). And I’ve been receiving his emails for yonks.
This is part of today’s:
“The Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) estimates that seventeen U.S. House seats were reallocated between the 2010 and 2020 census due to immigration. CIS also found that roughly 10 million illegal immigrants responded to the 2020 census and about 20 million non-citizens (including permanent residents, foreign students, and green card holders) responded to the 2020 census.
The solution the U.S. Census Bureau is working to adopt under President Trump is a simple one: eliminate non-citizens from being counted in the 2030 U.S. Census and beyond, ensuring that only citizens are counted in the reapportionment process.
On September 10, the U.S. Census Bureau under President Trump proposed a new rule that would remove non-citizens (including foreign residents and foreign students as well as illegal aliens) from the total number of citizens counted for the purposes of apportionment.
After the comment period, which runs through Nov. 2, the Census Bureau is expected to issue a final rule, but as one might expect, liberal activist groups are gearing up to fight the rule once it is finalized.”
This gives some insight into the group, plus the not so transparent Rick Manning:

22. In case any have forgotten
Neither May nor Johnson implemented the vote, nor did any of the others, so two things:
21. Nice
20. We are certainly under threat from all woke directions
… Them, the deep state apparatchiki. Received this earlier at OoL:
Had a look through and of course we’re fine … none of those dastardly crimes are ours, for example, we never leave up information we know to be false. That was so at N.O. as well but readers know what happened there.
Moving on, IYE … er, Steve, mentions this:
https://www.mi5.gov.uk/mi5-director-general-delivers-annual-threat-update
I’ve read through it … none of it applies to us as Restore leaning and antiwoke. But MI5 are correct about the deathcult, very much so. They downplayed China and played up Russia to keep Whitehall happy.
What Them have is a deep fear that too many are waking up now, not buying the bollox anymore, and so the aim is to find pretexts to shut us down. Nothing new … just restated by Them.
