a) French judicial investigation into X.com: the United States refuses to cooperate and accuses France of inappropriately using its law to attack freedom of expression.
b) France. The bill put forward following the tragic death of Philippine, a 19-year-old girl who was raped and killed in September 2024 by a migrant subject to a deportation order, is currently under consideration in the French National Assembly….
c) France. Villeneuve-Saint-Georges (94): A memo from the LR-led town hall aimed at âremoving harmful populationsâ in order to âencourage the settlement of more European middle classesâ is causing controversy.
d) The entire leadership of Your Party in Scotland has quit and declared the party is âoverâ. The left-wing vehicle was set up by English MPs Zarah Sultana and Jeremy Corbyn and attracted a mass of Scottish sign-ups, including prominent members of the Scottish Greens.

The future of AI
Lord T, whose field is IT (slightly longer profile below the article over at OoL plus Jstack, text copy backed up), has sent a piece on where “AI” is headed … he should know as he has to negotiate these things in a professional capacity. This is just the opening below:
… I lost my post at OoL. By the way, RFK Jr has come out in support of this Schwartz.
16. CK, EK etc.
Let’s open with Steve with this Xer Jacktron:
“The prosecution revealed that UVU cameras CAPTURED Tyler Robinson killing Charlie Kirk. The prosecution says the cameras captured Tyler Robinson going to the snipers perch, taking the shot at Charlie Kirk, and then running away into a wooded area. No wonder Crazy Candy the Bisexual Occultist is wetting her diaper: her entire shtick that sheâs been building over the last six months is about to go down in flames. Never forget those who participated in this and those who refused to call it out for the sham it is.”
There were comments for and against. I found this one:
This below is from IYE:
CK was either electrocuted or there was an explosive in the microphone. Tyler wassisname is just another patsy. IMHO.
Another deep dive on CK from Leah:
âWas The TOUSA Insurance Policy Under Our Nose The Entire Time?â
My own thoughts but by no means definitive conclusions:
It’s so three letter agency JFK killing … the patsy who did fire, who knows where, the professional assassins, shenanigans with the body after it, the Warren Report. Almost the same playbook.
“Having just watched the “Poseidon Adventure” (1972) it thought I ought to stick to the maritime theme and watch this rather enjoyable, if pretty procedural smuggling yarn. Preston Foster has some charm as “Sully” and Irene Harvey some pluck as “Joan”, involved in an investigation by the US treasury department into a clever criminal operation that uses some pretty ingenious publicity stunts and willing tourists to distribute their illicit contraband. There’s plenty of chemistry between the two in the lead; it moves along at a fairly ripping pace – with the occasional bit of wit and the odd twist to keep it interesting. The ending isn’t up to much, and the romance between Foster and Harvey does, on occasion, clutter up the flow of the adventure, but an adventure it is – and at just over an hour is well worth a watch.”
The IMDb mess:
I decided to try joining IMDb if it didn’t involve much. It did. The initial setting up of login and pword was fine … then they wanted phone.
Why?
I clicked out. Reviews will be from here and there from now on.
One episode now and one film later … this below is a high demand series, who knows how long we have it for?
No particular point in running a review on such a well known tale and version of it … which is just as well as IMDb have shut down access to reviews and other details without paying them or going through hoops.
This post is more than just nostalgia … it’s a serious attempt to come to terms with what drivers are facing today. With the horrors of modern “compliant” vehicles, EVs, self-driving gimmicry etc. etc., many drivers are looking at c 2000-2010 as realistic cars to buy, get some years out of.
“If the UK joined the US as the 51st state. We would be the poorest state in the entire union. Mississippi which is portrayed at swamp dwelling hillbillies in majority of international media is above us. I donât think people grasp how far weâve fallen in real terms when it comes to GDP per capita. Weâve seen no growth for almost an entire generations. Weâve seen our productivity decrease and our tax increases. The average person on the UK, on ÂŁ50,000 is less well off than your average Mississippi swamp dweller.”
Gov Tate Reeves, Mississippi:
“As we say in Mississippi, âBless Your Heart.â Or as you say in the UK, âAs-Salamu Alaykum.â …”
(Friday 2315) (0804) Looking a glorioius day out there for an hour or two. Not 100% in health, hopefully nothing terminal, chores day plus house issues, plus a bit of blogging … slowly. (Took a long time to complete this morning 0844)

a) French authorities have dismantled a large-scale network of sham marriages operating in the Val-de-Marne department and across the wider Ăle-de-France region….
b) As of April 1, 2026, 14.5% of inmates in French prisons are of African nationality, while they officially represent less than 4% of the resident population in France (Ministry of Justice / INSEE).
c) The effort to âAfD-proofâ Saxony-Anhalt is only the latest in a series of measures taken over recent months and years to weaken and marginalise the populists….

e) Migrants arenât just pretending to be gay to stay in the UKâtheyâre also falsely claiming to be victims of domestic abuse.
2. (0623) At Lord Toby’s site
… the opener today is this text below:
“In this special episode of the Sceptic, host Laurie Wastell brings together four different perspectives on the growing problem of Muslim sectarianism in Britain. Guy Dampier of the Prosperity Institute shows how Pakistani clan structures led to the grooming gangs; researcher Daniel Dieppe highlights how the London Borough of Tower Hamlets fell to Bangladeshi-Muslim electoral corruption; the CriticâsChris Bayliss looks at how state authorities responded to Birminghamâs banning of Israeli football fans; and journalist David Shipley and Laurie discuss what the Labour Governmentâs latest social cohesion plan shows about how itâs approaching multiculturalismâs pathologies.”
Now, being both totally disinterested, plus not interested in their internecine tribal warfare, the obvious question is who can nip it in the bud, from the City to the Sea? Which comes down to the council elections first, which should favour Reform in most cases, which means more of the same …
… or Restore, still a work in progress and many are still not “admitting it yet” except in conversation., certainly not in any official poll. That’s it for now.
