Some of my fave hymns/carols are How Great Thou Art, Abide With Me, Amazing Grace, Joy To The World, Oh Happy Day* … there’s a humanity and sparkle to protestant music.
Roman/Orthodox music seems more sombre, more concerned with the Majesty of God … and yet there’s also a clarity and purity to it:
*To my mind, the blacks are also due the credit they’ve earned … no one does soul, rhythm and passion quite like them.

7. Is the British taxpayer peeved
… or is he/she completely unaware, in a Woke-lefty, MSM-indoctrinated way?
6. Just repeating
5. Avanti or retardi?
4. Possibly the worst PM in British history?
(0553) Morning all … slight Gates bleah out there, some sun. There’s going to be a combined housekeeping/op ed to open proceedings, otherwise I’ll forget what it was. (0701)
3. Steve at 1062 (if I can access)
2. DAD at 1062
a) During the night the BBC World Service News said that there had been a celebration in Paris after Paris Saint-Germain won the European League.

c) Minors and Machetes: France’s deadly ‘New Normal’.
d) You couldn’t make it up…….European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen received the Charlemagne Prize *
……
*For wrecking Europe?
1. Housekeeping-op ed
a. That issue at NOWP … ta for feedback, chaps … seems ongoing, must test it out a bit, explore. I can’t get into the current post the regular way … might be bad, might be good.
b. To Redacted, ta again for asking on health, same question back to you … up and down seems the best description … obviously, the “why the down” is of interest … I have some ideas on that, shall keep monitoring.
c. First thing in the morning for me, after a prayer of thanks I’m still alive, door not kicked down, is checking out the emails, then NOWP, then X … and usually something of interest turns up. This was one of em:
H/T to MMutR for keeping my ego in check … he’s forever insisting I’m a nothing to these people, the PTB I mean, and I do hope he’s right … but then I have sites removed, blocks on this or that, letters from platforms … the core lesson from this thing though is we cannot assume anything.
The second lady is what one would expect … you can see what interested her … the curious one is the first lady and the male ego initially surged before I took stock and looked more carefully. Yes sure … to be followed by that little dreamboat, especially being outside the US, would be mightily nice … but whoa.
Look at her name … check against the WH Press Sec’s name … see the discrepancy? Long ago, Rogan Handley (Draino) wrote me (Am usage) and it got onto crypto. Recently as you know, Rubio wrote me and guess what? Yep, it got onto crypto. Now a misspelt KL writes me?
Another check … the second lady has a retweet sign on one response, a “like” on the other, always a nice thing … at least someone’s reading … I’ll explore.
It’s KL of interest for a minute or five … just a blank avatar, not a WH symbol. I’ll click, aware that that might be an error.
Actually, I’ve checked the second first. No seré una mujer libre mientras siga habiendo mujeres sometidas (Audre Lorde). (I will not be a free woman as long as there are still women who are oppressed (Audre Lorde) … Columbia Británica, Canadá … ah, the Women’s Defence initiative, which I support. Hmmmmm, if she follows, I’ll follow her back … around 2.5 thou followers and following about equally.
Now for the Levitt … oh wel, honest at least … parody account, Washington DC, no affiliation. Fine.
