Its Bayrou ! While the name of the next Prime Minister was to be announced yesterday, Emmanuel Macron postponed the announcement, the time for final negotiations on his return from Poland.

It is clear, on both sides of the Atlantic, that regarding covid vaccination, we have now entered ‘who gives a damn?’ territory. The harbingers of doom regarding the devastation of the population by covid, the ‘everyone is at risk’ message and the purportedly protective effects of the covid vaccines have been proved to be false. That is not to mention the accumulating evidence of potential and actual harms associated with the covid vaccines.
However there is one group of people who have not lost their faith, and they are our old friends at Global Health Now (GHN), possibly the most reliable source of misinformation about all things covid, at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
The GHN issue of 11 December linked an article from the equally unreliable NPR Goats and Soda which posed the question in its title: ‘I didn’t get the latest covid vaccine. Should I? And if so, when?’ Exploiting the forthcoming holiday season, it further asked: ‘When should I get it for maximum holiday protection when travelling and partying?’
I think you can guess the answer.
13. I’ve run out of superlatives for this chap’s shots
… composition, colour balance:
12. There are stories behind this duo
I first heard them on my trip to France with a French lady and liked the song on the cassette in those days … her name was Muriel LaPorte but she changed it to Moreno when she saw Niagara, the Monroe film … a very dark tale indeed. They called their duo a band and called it Niagara, pronounced differently … nee a GA ra … and they were hot stuff in France in the 80s, based primarily on her sexiness, which the bf played to the max, turning her almost lascivious, whilst he went in for the satanic thing:
Notice Notre Dame behind her. Most songs were either ultra silly in that playful French way or ultra-dark, anti-Church, which spilled over into anti-Christian due to him, not in the lyrics but in the video imagery … hence the song below, quite a nice song as just audio, which is the only way I’ll play it.
They lasted a fair while but gradually he sapped her soul, her general health took a battering, finally she lost her voice entirely … they separated both as a band and as a couple.
11. IYE at 907
Prince Andrew faces intense scrutiny over links to an alleged Chinese spy MI5 has banished from Britain.
The Far East agent was apparently so close to the Royal Family he was invited to the Duke of York’s birthday party. Yet he has now been banned from the UK ‘on security grounds’.
10. Angels We Have Heard On High
A grumble … yes, yet another, chaps and chapesses. It’s about this carol … 26 versions of it I had to listen to before settling on one for tomorrow and methinks many are not going to be happy with my eventual choice even then.
For a start … no major, serious singers had versions on youtube, except Bocelli … the English language version surrounded by super slick, coiffed stage entertainment, luvvy style, gushingly extolling Bocelli … I clicked out … it’s not about the singer, it’s about the song.
The American versions were all about mangling the words and music, turning it into each singer’s or choir’s personal vehicle … the English versions were straight choirs, singing it straight … good … but oh, the articulation … awful! King’s wouldn’t touch it, they did Realms, a poor substitute imho, Cambridge did tackle it and whoever the choirmaster was should have been shot …
… now, there is a test of this … listen to the early part, listen for the word “strains” and if the final “s” is clearly articulated, then he or she is a good singer. Every single choir or church service mangled it.
So. … individual singers were the way to go, yes? All right … every single woman singer, inc. the Celtic, just had to have their big moosh plastered all over … or else their womanly figures … Lindsey Stirling was even half naked, lifting her bared leg for our admiration. The men were just as narcissistic.
Was there anyone, anyone at all, who could articulate the word “strains” clearly, plus sing it as close to straight as possible, in an elevated manner, as befits Gloria? Even if she does have that accent and jazz style to herself, but thankfully not to the carol?
Yep … one … Ella Fitzgerald. So hers is the version tomorrow, ladies and gentlemen.
“Wray Goes to Sleep, Syria Gets Weird and Xi Gets an Invite”
6. Steve drops at 906
Four: Megyn Kelly on Caitlin Clark, Nativity at the Capitol, Biden extends covid shield protecting Pharma, much more.
Three: Wray, shocking incompetence, clemency for convicts, much more.
Two: Six ATACMS strike into Rostov region, Russkies through in Kurakhovo, much more.
One: These self-assembling lipids used for transfection, spike proteins, Vitamin D and autoimmune diseases, bots or AI leaving comments? More.
JH: No such thing as AI … it’s machine learning (ML).
5. DAD drops at 907 just came through
[DAD – I’m sorry that the drops today are rather long, but since that they are in French I thought it better to translate into English for you.]
a) Prime Minister: The endless search for consensus. It’s Friday and France still has no Prime Minister. Our wonderful President Macaroon promised that one would be appointed by last week-end; then it was to be Monday after he had lunch with Bayrou; not Tuesday, but Wednesday was the day: mais non……
b) France is becoming a Narco State; and it is spreading to the countryside.
It is a leprosy that has spread quietly. Over the years, insidiously, it has nibbled away at the territory, crossed the borders from sensitive areas in large cities to splash the countryside as a whole…..
c) On December 10, 2024, in a town in Central Brittany, in the Côtes d’Armor (for the safety of the people concerned, we will not give the name), a woman and her daughter experienced an evening of terror. Threatened by four drunken individuals…..
d) If there was not enough trouble at home, France has difficulties with their ex-colonies in Central Africa, the Polititions want French Soldiers out, but…..The senior military officers have their say……
4. There was a fourth part of that three-parter earlier
… perhaps only IYE will see it, perhaps most will. It’s this, viewed from two angles:
What do you notice? That was when I opened the previous post … it was also a repeat of days ago when I had 33 spam comments, no more, no less. If you had not seen these screenshots now, you’d have put it down to flights of fancy, spinning a tale.
(0131) Welcome to this Godly moment of awakening in the wee hours, our time, and these are a most unusual first three items today which, if you’ll cut me some slack, I’ll take us through … remembering of course that our posting order is first below, latest above.
The thought running through my mind upon awakening was just how fragile the internet is … this thing we take for granted, similar to Musk tootling off to Mars … piece of cake yes, whilst bearded orcs gather in hotels and in purpose built housing across the land back here.
Remember what happened to Hobbiton whilst the gallant rag-tag were off fighting the far-away war for civilisation? (0309)
3. Our lives just now are dependent on Peter Principlers
Apologies for the mongrel word principlers but you’ll get the drift … Biden, Wray, Schiff, Harris, those judges, AOC, Sunak, Badenoch, Starmer, Reaves (sic) … they are supposedly in charge … in thrall more like … whilst this thing we take for granted, similar to Musk tootling off to Mars … piece of cake yes … all the while, bearded orcs gather in hotels and in purpose built housing across the land back here, poised to pounce and convert us or slaughter us, as is their whim.
Most ordinary people, previously used to sedentary lives of civilised non-stress, relative to, say, the middle-east, Africa, the Ukraine, many on benefits or work from home, whilst drug and paedo in the young is rampant and pensioners struggle to heat their homes, slaves to the indoctrinating MSM, resenting us calling all this out, as we warn: “Wake up! Wake up!” …
… many of us are ag(e)ing … unevenly … two partners ag(e)ing at different rates and what we need, apart from entertainment, is little or no shocks to the system, n’est-ce-pas? We need predictability, not being interrupted, not having things piled upon us … I for one cannot handle, these days, more than one thing at a time … no multitasker, moi.
Thus I for one take things in series, not parallel, do one job at a time, knowing that if I don’t, the whole thing falls down. I leave notes to myself, need A5 sheetlets to jot things down on. I need to go to NOWP after this, check that it’s all been posted and lettered, then another shot at sleep, part two, with deliveries coming later.
The words “Peter Principlers” is cruel when applied to good people, people we love or like, with good hearts and moral compasses, competent within the range we can expect … but how can we expect a near 24 year old with a certain amount of life experience to be a guru … at least she is on an upward learning curve:
Bannon should know better, like a proud dad, that his protege can only do so much, sharp as she is … yes, I’m referring to the current war room episode again. This observation stems from love, not from the opposite. We need seasoned warriors just now … there are a few around on that team, thank goodness.
Over here? Looks to me like Reform or nothing, this time with Nigel hopefully not selling out.
2. Paraskevidekatriaphilia
The word for the fear of Friday the 13th is paraskevidekatriaphobia. It’s a combination of Greek words, with paraskeví meaning “Friday”, dekatreís meaning “13”, and phóbos meaning “fear”.
As it’s a lucky day for me as a rule, then clearly the “phobia” part had to be changed to “philia” … however, that’s too close to the current blight on the world, starting with “paedo”, so it seemed better to change the “c” for a “k”, as in the post title.
1. Series and parallel
The internet is sooooo fragile, where one broken link in the chain, from airtime provider to blogpost … only one required … is sufficient to plunge the Christmas fairy lights, and the room, into darkness:
In a train of thought flow, I thought to brush up on series and parallel:
Series and parallel are two types of electrical circuits that differ in how components are connected and how current flows through them:
Series:
Components are connected in a single loop, one after the other, with no branches. The current flows through all components at the same rate. The voltage across the circuit is the sum of the voltage drops across each component.
Parallel:
Components are connected on separate branches of the wire. The current can take different paths through the circuit. The voltage across all components is the same. The total current is the sum of the currents flowing through each component.
Here are some other differences between series and parallel circuits:
Wiring: Series circuits use less wiring than parallel circuits.
Failure indication: Series circuits are useful for warning when a component has failed.
Solar panels: Solar panels are generally connected in series to increase voltage and prevent reverse current.
Speakers: Speakers are usually wired in parallel to improve sound quality and get more power from an amp.
Many circuits are a combination of series and parallel circuits.
