10. She has an interesting bkgd herself

… by her own admission … Planned Parenthood staff, turned whistleblower:


9. Moo corner


8. There’s a type of Xer we don’t like

… the one cynically exploiting other Xers for hits on their accounts:

The worst are those exploiting genuinely unfortunate souls with situations, conditions … God bless them … and inventing situations, often including stock photos of a child in traction, whatever, in order to boost sympathy traffic.

Then we get those who say something like: “If you think Mr. Bukele’s doing a great job in El Salvador, retweet ME and give me me me a personal traffic boost.” (Obviously not in those exact words.)

Then there are those starting insulting arguments to get hits and to hurt someone.

Then there are the empire builders, using current world situations for their own “shows”, e.g. The Johnny Roberts Show … and where most Xers have a “following you” and “follow back” pair of buttons, these people use “following you” and “subscribe”, buy me a coffee … they lock you into paying them money, giving out card details. You can never just follow them back.


7. The situation in German hospitals

Tuesday [6]

(0715)(0729)

Siaxares:

Of interest to the Landlord I reckon…

Look what they’ve done to my song Ma for a suitable musical intro perhaps? 

Perhaps not.

2. DAD at 1359

Firstly: ā€œStarmer is playing Russian roulette. Every time he refuses to answer a question, another chamber of the gun rotatesā€. (JH: Yes, even a raving lefty like Hodges, like Sultana yesterday, like a clock, can occasionally get it right. Poor Cerk Ear.)

a) Further to No 28 Monday at HQ. Italy: Up to 615 euros offered to lawyers who manage to convince their migrant clients to leave Italy….

b) France. The National Agency for Secure Documents is not Secure. The Ministry of the Interior revealed on Monday that a security incident had affected the National Agency for Secure Documents (ANTS), the agency responsible for identity cards, passports, and driver’s licenses….

c) Europe’s vape ban fantasy is fueling black markets and sending smokers back to cigarettes.

d) An Israeli soldier armed with a sledgehammer strikes a statue of Jesus Christ in a Christian village in Lebanon. (Update: Israel confirms the image and announces the opening of an investigation.)

e) Wife of Spanish PM risks up to 24 years in jail over alleged corruption.

1. IYE corner

a. Leah on Lindsey Graham

ā€œ SOUTH CAROLINA VOTERS: Let’s follow the money on your Senate race Republican primary: Lindsey Graham vs Mark Lynch

I conducted a forensic financial analysis of Lindsey Graham’s filing over the last two election cycles. What the data shows is a funding structure that does not match his constituency, a dark money footprint larger than ANY sitting senator, and a voting record that is 100% aligned with the interests funding Israel.
THE 91% PROBLEM: 91.13% of Graham’s 2020 donor money came from OUTSIDE South Carolina. 91.31% of his current cycle money comes from OUTSIDE South Carolina. $60 million from out of state. $5.8 million from SC. His #1 zip code BOTH cycles: 33480, Palm Beach, FL. I found this to be very interesting…..

b. UFO’s, Anti-Gravity and The Eleven Scientists Missing or Deadā€

……

JH note on Ms Glass … whoever does the IT for her is causing formatting problems … not only does the url auto-expand, it also includes a box with the dropper’s (in this case IYE’s) details, e.g. IP address. Then there’s “Glass”, a Jewish name and yet she’s highly critical of Israel. I call this an anomaly rather than a “watch list” candidate. Anyway, she’s just cost me 20 minutes reversing her damage and finding ways to post her url.

Monday [25 till close of play]

(1556) Evening is nigh. (1748)

 

29. Julia liked D4

… I liked C3 but at some times of day D4. You?


28. Two huge disappointments

… one in power, supposedly, one maybe about to be …


27. This is from Jstack (see navbar)

It’s a bit different readership there, some overlap. Taken combined, it’s a decent slice of the dissident west.


26. What’s the betting on the clown?

Lisa asked where the wife was.


Queen B had a different idea:


25. Go ahead, make my evening

Monday [17 to 24]

(1251) Afternoon all. (1508)

 

24. Markets


23. People were asked what they’d like to make things better

Julia said she’d like a smaller garden. I thought of one or two replies which might have been smutty, then replied:


22. Nice from Hungary


21. The opening to Rolf’s latest is below

“The video below tells us something I hadn’t known and should have. In the summer of 1920 Lenin sent 200,000 soldiers into Poland with the ultimate objective of reaching Berlin.

Help from the West was not whole-hearted.

Postwar Germany was very weak at this time. Only a year earlier thousands of its people had starved to death as the Royal Navy continued its blockade during the 1919 peace negotiations. The Left was stirring: Communist revolts were put down by the Weimar government but who knows where a successful Red invasion could have led, and not just in Germany?”

Read on here …

20. Much talk today about Cerk Ear, wife and certain men


19. Moo corner

… and a bit of osculation:


18. IYE and Kash for booze

Uh-oh

ā€œWhite House officials ā€˜openly discuss’ firing Kash Patel as FBI chief threatens to sue over report about ā€˜excessive drinkingā€™ā€

17. Steve on Touska

Department of War and the M.V. Touska:

US forces operating in the Arabian Sea enforced naval blockade measures against an Iranian-flagged cargo vessel attempting to sail toward an Iranian port, April 19.

Guided-missile destroyer USS Spruance (DDG 111) intercepted M/V Touska as it transited the north Arabian Sea at 17 knots enroute to Bandar Abbas, Iran. American forces issued multiple warnings and informed the Iranian-flagged vessel it was in violation of the US blockade.

After Touska’s crew failed to comply with repeated warnings over a six-hour period, Spruance directed the vessel to evacuate its engine room. Spruance disabled Touska’s propulsion by firing several rounds from the destroyer’s 5-inch Mk. 45 Gun into Touska’s engine room. US Marines from the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit later boarded the non-compliant vessel, which remains in US custody.

American forces acted in a deliberate, professional, and proportional manner to ensure compliance. Since the blockade’s commencement, US forces have directed 25 commercial vessels to turn around or return to an Iranian port.

The voyage by the Touska originated in China in March with a stop in Malaysia:

Monday [16]

(1118)(1118)

 

Monday for me is frenetic, chaps and chapesses, particularly as I have a phone call along with deliveries, washing and drying, cooking up the week’s staples. No big deal, it just explains why I follow the ditties in a min with a Saint.

In the early afternoon, I’ll come back … I’ve read all you’ve written till now … I pull up the comments list in the engine room … yes will get to those in an hour and a half. There are things happening with one of the residents here in RL … the rest of us are dealing with it.

Soon, ok.
