Thursday [17 till close of play]

(1550) Evening all.

 

24. Let’s give this a try

23. From bobbies on the beat back then

… to two tier thugs and wimps today … oh how the mighty police have fallen … Dixon, where are you? Fancy?


22. Ta, Lee … so we don’t have to


21. How much damage will he do before then?


20. Steve at 899 and war room

a. California seats stolen

b. Key Uke port city plan

c. Syria balance of power

d. New sheriff in town needed

19. A post which might interest those

… liking a good read:

18. Posts up at UHC

… plus at Jstack.

17. DAD at 899:4

“Dr. Paul Thomas: “We looked at every single patient born into my practice… We stratified them according to the number of vaccines they had… and what we found was actually even mind-boggling for myself.””

Thursday [13 to 16]

(1420) Was sorting out Christmas shopping for the limited number involved, time got away. (1452)

 

16. When you’ve made yourself obnoxious to all and sundry

… money and destructiveness may remain …


15. Well it’s one view


14. Aixelsyd can be a problem


13. Lord T reports from the BBC

Cash use in the shops rose for a second year in a row after a decade of falls, according to retailers.

Notes and coins were used in a fifth of transactions last year, the British Retail Consortium (BRC) said, as shoppers found cash helped them to budget better.

The amount spent per purchase also dropped slightly from £22.43 in 2022, to £22.03 last year, it said.

The findings were published after charities told a committee of MPs that numerous groups were excluded from essential services and community venues that had started to refuse cash.

Thursday [2 to 7]

(0657) Greetings humans, this dark morning as we hurtle towards the shortest day. (0749)

 

7. Badenoch



6. It would make a MAGA blanche


5. Rare earth


That’s according to TGP … problem for me is the map, leaving out Oz uranium and bauxite. The map is clipped at the bottom … not my doing … which is as annoying as I sometimes get to be 😎. However, as the story is that China is banning certain key elements, this might affect the USA’s warmaking ability … or else it’s a giant Pentagon ruse. 🍿🍿🍿

4. Rolf’s Now and Next

HERE

“One of the PM’s stock phrases is ‘fixing the foundations.’ Is he the one to do it?

‘Starmer is already in a flat spin from which he will not recover,’ Dominic Cummings said last week (47:46). ‘He has no idea how to do the job… He will just thrash around failing.’”

JH (0713): Nor have any of them except Putin and Trump it seems.

”Another fundamental weakness is the electoral system that has given Labour such wildly disproportionate representation in Westminster. The notorious petition started a fortnight ago asking for a fresh GE will be debated in Westminster Hall on 6 January, and has already prompted the formation of an all-party Parliamentary group on fair voting; yesterday (Lib Dem) Sarah Olney’s Ten-Minute Rule Bill urging the introduction of Single Transferable Voting was passed, despite Conservative opposition.”

3. Steve dropped his overnight at 898

Four: SpaceX Wins Contract To ‘Destroy’ NASA’s International Space Station, Cicago resident upset, Eric Adams acting interestingly just now, plenty more.

Three: Navarro, Hegseth, Newsome, plenty more.

Two: Alex C you saw below, Russian army, war situation, more.

One: German lab has started to offer tests for spike proteins and plasmid DNA, Arla’s drug, Trump news, more.

2. DAD has his time-war at 899

z) Thursday [I think, since yesterday was Wednesday. But the day before yesterday was also Wednesday; so, it may be it’s Friday. I leave it to you to decide]

a) The French National Assembly brought down Michel Barnier’s government. An unprecedented move since 1962, which plunges the country into a period of great political and financial uncertainty, six months after the dissolution.

b) French President Emmanuel Macron has vowed that he will not resign no matter the result of Wednesday’s no confidence vote in Prime Minister Michel Barnier, which is likely to collapse the second Macronist government this year.

c) I am pleased to announce that Peter Navarro, a man who was treated horribly by the Deep State, or whatever else you would like to call it, will serve as my Senior Counselor for Trade and Manufacturing.

d) d) It would appear that the BBC, like Sir Kneeler, does not know what a woman is.

Thursday [1]

A bit of unwanted explanation

The two compositional issues in putting up every post can be divided thus: a) one par for the course in this game b) one unnecessarily complicated. Both take the same length of time to prepare … thereby doubling what used to be a simple operation at ggl.

*The first is reducing size/resolution of images so as not to fill up disk space … it’s called compression and each image must be done … look at the number of images used here, inc. screenshots of text. No moaning about that … it’s part of the job.

*The unnecessary bit is this overcomplication of composing and posting at WP, called block. Ggl is a dream, comparatively.

As I’m in this “between two sleeps” mode, heater off, under the covers, I’m not keen to do both the above* in the middle of the night, so have done a) resized/compressed images for tomorrow morning … er … later this morning … but b) the actual posting, is an utter pain at WP so in a few hours when I can face it, refreshed.

Meanwhile, here’s Alex C, from Steve’s 898:9b and the reason to run it expanded is at the start, where a clip of Tucker speaking in Moscow is most disturbing. See you again in a few hours.
