(1655) Evening all.
26. Far right are they, these people?
What say you, Starmer?
25. Epping
Look what the state’s rolling out to intimidate middle-aged Brits:
24. Leading Report
DNI Tulsi Gabbard announces that there are “whistleblowers coming out of the woodwork” from the Obama administration.
23. Housekeeping … slight blog revamp
To put it mildly, I have not been happy with today’s events and part of that is blog-organisational … going to have to be more insistent with non-regulars, plus do some revamping work myself.
I see HQ here as a place for reasonably short comments or summaries … that’s how I also run my own data presentation to you. To give you an idea of the comment length we wish to get … look at Steve’s in today’s comments threads, plus my medium length comment … that’s what HQ is about … around that sort of length or shorter, give or take.
To put it another way, HQ is essentially a news headlines site, certainly not for disputes between readers. It’s our flagship.
Long dissertation types of articles aren’t really for HQ … they’re welcome to our conglomeration, make no mistake, esp. with links or media … but not here at HQ … they need to be over at UHCWP, which now runs a more NOWP format (see sidebar over there).
Now, Redacted was not to know this as I’d not left it anywhere openly stated but have now. So let’s say a less regular commenter drops a dissertation or sermon … drop it at UHCWP please. If by mistake it’s dropped here, I’ll need to transfer the comment to UHCWP, then signpost from here where precisely it can be found. In other words, making extra work for me.
I’m hoping this principle will not turn into a clash of wills as it’s for our readers overall.
Now, Steve and DAD and anyone really, as we’ve been doing … I’m loathe for NOWP to change as it’s sound, regular and readers know exactly where to go for the long, linked version of those drops … I’ll still number as I’ve been doing but that’s it … as has been the case for quite some time. Remember that media expands at NOWP in many cases … but not all that often at the other WP sites … and not at all at Jstack … that’s just a quirk of WP and Jstack I’m afraid.
My attempt to put a rants/longs link here in the sidebar has been, today, an ignominious failure, so I’m removing the “longs” link from the sidebar here now, forthwith.
What all this means
*If you have a short to medium, there are three sites within UHC-NO you can leave it but your choice will depend on whether you want expanding media or links.
*If you have a long, then HQ is not available … I shall move it to the latest UHCHQ longs page in your name for now. Sorry but I need to, to prevent flooding or infighting at HQ. In the evening, I go beddy-byes around now (2020 Brit time), dog tired, needing to be sure HQ is safe enough to get through the night without some sort of war.
Overnight
You still have that choice of three sites to drop a short/medium at but a long will end up at UHCHQ first thing in the morning. Oh and don’t forget Jstack … that’s also available for commenting at if you wish.
Removal of your comments
The ONLY situation where I’ll remove a comment at HQ is if it’s long and discursive and not dropped by one of our longtimers or it’s a declaration of war … as written about above … and it can be found at UHCWP.
I would NEVER summarily remove comments by longtimers … they should know that by now, esp. if it’s good for the site. So if your comment disappears, with no word from me … then something has been going on without my knowledge, some miscreant’s got in and done that.
To help prevent that happening in future, comments are closed after 6 days, universally. This is to stop someone going in after 6 days and causing mayhem. If it still happens, then someone is hacking the site and that will involve my techie mate’s help to identify and reverse hack the bstd.

21. Was he deported? Executed? Jailed for life?
20. What constitutes misconduct?
Seems easy enough to determine with women and children but trickier with us:
I’ve mentioned it before but there I was with epoxy caused skin rashes, there was a lady doctor, plus a younger nurse, both of our ethnic stock. Let’s just say it was the full check up all over. Out of order? Not in my eyes. What if it had been reversed? Undoubtedly misconduct on my part, it would have been.
That’s just the way it rolls in real life.
19. Be careful what you wish for
18. That last item in Sun 17 once more
“You Trained Us To Go After This Issue” Mike Benz On MAGA Base’s Long Fight For Epstein Transparency.
Precisely.
17. Steve at 1112, with war room
- Jack Posobiec: “This Is The Biggest Intelligence Scandal Since Iraq WMDs.”
- Gen. Mike Flynn: Other Names That Have Never Been Exposed — NSA, FBI, CIA — Are Going To Be In Big Trouble
- Natalie Winters: “They Weren’t Content With Just Letting The American People Vote.”
- “You Trained Us To Go After This Issue” Mike Benz On MAGA Base’s Long Fight For Epstein Transparency
16. Two songs about our current atmospherics around here
19. After a working life in the printing trade I became a bit of a stickler for correct spelling and punctuation. In the last couple of decades proof readers were replaced by smell checkers. Then composition of type passed from trained and literate compositors to journalists and ad agency designers. Errors became more frequent, every job that passed my desk had them. A few clients were grateful for me pointing them out, most were offended. That’s one trade/industry that is going to miss us old pedants. Education isn’t educating, it’s enstupidating. Technology isn’t progress, it’s regression. Human stand aside, I’ve got this. Oops.
……
JH: Am just adding this now to reader recollections at UHCWP, n18.
I now see this
23. Housekeeping … slight blog revamp
perhaps I am wrong.
yet, I take the point/direction.
I never meant to be divisive or such.
astime draws to a close, I become more fervent.
of course, to heathens, this is missed.
out of respect to Mr JH,
I shall bow out.
may you cats enjoy your own designed
litterbox.
Best, regards always to Mr JH.
