(1750) Phew … we’ve had a bit of house drama here, sorted now, involved dog dos … sorry to mention that around tea time. 🙂
29. Quite agree on naval ships not being renamed
… to avoid offence … there’s history and gravitas behind those names. Though Boaty McBoatface was not for a naval vessel, it did illustrate the sad facetiousness of the Brit. Were another ship to require renaming, my suggestion is the solemn and grand Floaty McBoaty.
Laura’s the wilder, more forthright of the two founders, being Irish ’n all:
ON FRIDAY, Konstantin Kisin tweeted the following: ‘Something I’ve often wondered about: if “diversity is our greatest strength” why is it that we have to be reminded of that after every terrorist attack?’
The reason is that the governing powers – both left and right – really believe it. When they say diversity is our strength or, as Fraser Nelson would say, Britain has experienced an integration miracle, it’s because deep down in their heart of hearts, they think it is true. That’s how bad things are. That’s why things are the way they are and why it is so difficult to make any real change. This is how it goes these days in the West.
There is another diversity stabbing of children, three little girls in Southport, or the Afghan ‘asylum seeker’ who killed a two-year-old boy and seriously wounded other infants in the Bavarian town of Aschaffenburg, or the murder of 22 at an Ariana Grande show aimed at little girls, or the gang rape of girls in multiple towns, or the murder of journalists over a cartoon in a magazine, and before the bodies are cold we will be told that diversity is our strength.
We are told this because they believe it and you’d better believe it too. And if you don’t believe it, you will end up like Peter Lynch, rounded up by the Old Bill for not believing that diversity is our strength and then killing yourself in some Godforsaken British prison.
A new age. @NationalWHCA members had a wonderful time today inside the briefing room today with Press Secretary Leavitt. This is going to be a beautiful new age for press freedom. https://t.co/Jj9naMY6RC
(0536) Item 11 is about a quite existential matter as far as reporting and journalism go. (0651)
14. Sometimes it does take a gal
We need Dutch Jim in 13, Homan, Donny, yes … but in comes a voice from a gal:
True, Lainey, true. There’s some middling path we should be navigating, not our place to play God, that’s His … but we do need this mix of ideas and directions, firmly excluding the destructive, such as Wokery.
13. Shanahan
12. Rate of deportations
My feeling is he’s one of us … as independently thinking as we can be, given that we too have our biases and a prioris.
11. Do we expose our heroes?
Not to put too fine a point on it … look at Karoline Leavitt’s invitation to invite real journalism to the Press Corp … first time since Chanel Rion … that’s both a privilege and a responsibility. In short, if we are the New Press, fearless and far-reaching, are we any better if we do not call our own?
This site Unherdables, more or less likes what DJT is doing overall but not some specifics, as pointed out yesterday. Yes, there is very much a specific here from Gab:
This Gab poster … is he Demrat, anti-Trump or more centrist, slightly for the rule of law? The item after this answers that better. But here he’s calling out Donny folly … imho quite rightly. Does that stymie or impede all the other initiatives? Should we stay shtum on’t? As with the poisoned vaxxes and all this warp speed bollox?
10. Steve at 952
Congress Summons Far-left Sanctuary City Mayors to Testify at a Committee Hearing – Kristi Noem Joins ICE, US Marshals, and NYPD Special Ops in Raids – Tom Homan Declares War on Terrorist Cartels … Bessent Confirmed – Karoline Leavitt Comes Out Swinging – US Military into California – Iron Dome for America … Uke sit-rep – Deep Seek panic … Italy Takes Back Control – War on DEI … USAID Employees Placed On Leave – CDC ordered to stop working with WHO – lithium battery fire epidemic … much, much more of course at 952.
9. DAD at 953
French PM has stirred-up a hornet’s nest. In an interview with LCI on Monday, January 27, Prime Minister François Bayrou spoke of a “feeling of submersion” regarding immigration in France … Even though two thirds of the French people believe that immigration “is not an opportunity for France,” the government still finds it a necessity … The ‘Mona Lisa’ is being move inthe Louvre – is this is the reason? The Louvre in Paris, one of the world’s biggest and most famous museums, “is in a deplorable state of disrepair”, says one employee and union rep … Nice wants to get rid of its statue of Joan of Arc; Mátészalka in northeastern Hungary has offered to host … more detail at 953 of course.
(0441) Morning all. First eight are about one topic we’re increasingly finding, bubbling away beneath the topic mentioned in each case. Steve and DAD will be in the next post. (0523)
8. For our boys
Screenshot only, not clip.
7. She’s our gal, so are Cynthia and Savanah
6. As for awful and insane low quality women
… Wendy being a great one by the way:
5. Welcome Karoline Leavitt, thank goodness
4. Drones
Screenshot only, no link, he’s easily found on X.
3. Great gal … keep hitting em, Chanel
2. The new pejorative
1. So as not not to keep you in suspenders
… straight to the point … we’re being flooded by women in the public space these days and if you look at DAD’s comment in the sidebar now about Melania, Steve’s about Natalie etc., the other chaps too … we all like “good” women who, to bring Dearieme in, are of good character, relatively sane, are not painted, tattooed trollops with false eyelashes or else pink pussy haired karens or this new word Margaret.
In short, if women are going to thrust themselves fwd as demi-men, coz they can never be proper men, nor can we ever be women, nor would we wish to be … as long as we all live in the age old reality, recognising our limitations, as Clint Eastwood said … then all is fine. I would add as long as we’re not an extreme patriarchy, because that’s as much of a pain in the A as this stoopid matriarchy with all its “policy shaped by misplaced feelings” … then things go sanely.
Throw in one’s, country, family, hard work, only ever being owed what we’ve earned, mutual civility, etc. etc. … with at least cultural Christianity underpinning it … I’d argue personal John 3:23 but let’s not quibble in this paragraph … and as long as some sort of chivalry does exist … then maybe we can stop the Bidens, Starmers, Blairs and Schultzes from getting their way.
The next seven items are dominated by the gals, as I call them, meaning “good” gals, not psycho-harpies with drak hair and massive egos … we boys don’t need much to be happy and if those gals wish to make the running, volubly, then Jason Bourne and us are happy enough to let them … gives us a break, plus it’s nice to see.
