19. I’ve forgotten who the Secretary even is
18. Poor South Africa … dear oh dear
We once had a South African influence here with Chuckles and haiku and Za news came through … they are sorely missed by the site. This thing going on with the Bantu down there … bad, bad … payback time.

15. The conundrum of women and power
As has been demonstrated o’er and o’er and as many go-getting men will attest … behind every successful man or even one just with a mission, the quality of the woman is everything. If she’s ambitious for him and for her own place in the sun, e.g. the WEFer wife of DeSantis, she in fact holds him back by her raw, scathing ambition … she would say it’s in his mind, he is reminded by her constantly that he has his own masculinity to fulfil.
To my mind, any man all for himself, any woman all for herself, is useless because there is no deep bond, just ongoing war at home, on the pillow, personal ambition. If a team though, with that deep understanding, then the “badder” one of them sometimes leads the other astray, e.g. Bonny and Clyde.
The purpose of Melania beside the Donald in public, the purpose of Susie Wiles in the WH … is that the man is the blaster-through, the muscle, the woman observes, notes, never forgets, is the real gatekeeper … and if her aim is noble … then good things result. She is a stone wall though … implacable … good thing too. She wants him as a rock, he needs her steadiness and constancy … see Pam Bondi.
In a full on battle between other males and her, guess who wins?
“The ‘ice maiden’ at the heart of the Trump administration has won her first big battle this week — denying Elon Musk a permanent base in the West Wing of the White House.” The Times: https://thetimes.com/article/1a9c06
I’ve said since the dawn of time that women need to play to their strengths, not this other rubbish of this LA mayor or Merseyside feminazi or a Hochul, Fani or whoever … women are not good when given ultimate power … ask any observer of the henpecked hubby and the dragon … it’s quite offputting and bad for her character … that’s a monster in the making, not a woman.
It’s a fine balance which needs maintaining … hellishly difficult, unless she wants it to work.
15. nolE not getting a permanent office in the WH is good to know!
18. “This thing with the Bantu down there ….” .
Isn’t that Lammy’s tribe? You know, that Foreign Secretary bloke who said that, being black, his ancestors had experienced slavery. Only he didn’t elaborate from which side, the Bantu were said to be the biggest slavers in Africa after the Zulus.
