Had a feeling one or more readers might misconstrue what I wrote here around 0730. I’ll rewrite it now around 1004.
These are our latest comments as they appear in the sidebar:
To my mind, they’re working well … about the only change I’d make at this point is to slightly lengthen displayed text if I could but as the widget is now unsupported, I’m loathe to try to alter the configuration.
I used to be able to stipulate length of displayed text, you see, but that facility has now gone and to try to get into the code itself is not wise for me to do … might lose the lot.
Which does put more of an onus on the commenter as the sidebar display is currently set at around 19/20 words. To explain further … if you want readers to know what your topic and thought is, the first 19 words of what you write will display in the sidebar, the rest is found below the post as per normal.
2. Colin Rugg, via Steve, on an arrestable offence
“Liberal podcaster Jennifer Welch suggests the Dem establishment needs to get on board with wanting conservatives dead or else far-leftists will come “after you in the same way that we come after MAGA.” Welch: *Plays video of protester celebrating Kirk’s murder.” Welch: “Listen up, Democratic establishment. You can either jump on board with this, or we’re coming after you in the same way that we come after MAGA. Period.””
Well obviously I’m highly biased here and the only way it could work is with a points system. That vetting by Anna-Paulina would have been thorough, the pro-Americanism undoubted, the English as near as dammit to perfect … that to me is exactly the type of immigrant required.
And all those we’re down on? Well what can I say? Clearly with zero concept of the US or Britain. Hence the points system, but only if the assessors are Anna Paulina types, not AOCs. How to ensure that? I’m thinking only through mass movement, politically, within the country’s thinking … a process which is already underway, top down and bottom up.
I am immensely grateful for @RepLuna’s support not just for myself, because today she gives hope to MILLIONS of Germans.
This is just the beginning of a revolutionary German-American friendship. 🇩🇪🇺🇸 https://t.co/xC0V4SFgJu
… and also in the UK, on the baddies in both countries, indictments etc., also universal anger at what happened to Mr Broadhurst … think this song might be appropriate:
I’ve also reservations about this girl vlogging on it, yet it’s another perspective and her angle is “we just don’t know enough” … too many anomalies, so let’s not all pile in before we await fuller details … which seems reasonable.
Me? I’m still not buying his door open, 59F temperature, clothes down near his ankles. On the other hand, the blurred footage did not seem to show that. Who blurred it? Too many people interfering here for their own censorious reasons, in order that their own angle prevails.
Yes, another one of these because there are simply no worthy short features this morning … these things come and go. Yesterday were heaps of items … today struggling to get it to ten. Happens. There was one on Ronan Point (1960s disaster), only one comment from two months ago, not supportive … bad sign, watched a bit … pure MSM high drama documentary with overloaded constant mood music … no thanks.
A while ago, I unsubscribed from two lovely ladies … Jed Bila and this Emily below, mainly because they were not where I was on the issue. Whilst I did not disagree with them, plus they’re honeys, my “thing” is to find ways for each to back off enough … the female from the boss girl feminazism and the male who’s been taken to the cleaners by a woman. Rather than just badmouth women, I want to find practical ways to get us working together. Pie in the sky?
Anyway, in this vlog episode, there’s some young bint going beserk, saying seemingly insane things, whilst the presenter, Ms Emily, is gazing on with this look on the face which gets a bit wearing but at least she’s a pretty-pretty. And I’m thinking she’s not presenting this honestly.
It just goes on and on and on until I think, “Yes Emily darling, you’ve made your point, but I’m wondering just how interesting this would be for our readers (watchers) anymore.”
In a nutshell, the girl is a firm’s food deliverer, usually around dinner time, which itself is highly dangerous for an unarmed female these days.
The recipient’s door was left ajar, she pushed it open, her first error. The firm’s protocol is that if the resident does not respond to the bell, then leave the parcel by the door. She didn’t, she pushed the door open and started filming … she saw the man, supposedly asleep, on his divan. “Half-naked”.
All we see in Emily’s partial footage is the girl screaming, much later, maybe a few days later, about being attacked. Emily says the girl lost her job over it and serves her right, posting footage of a man’s privacy … but but but … in a last bit of footage, he’s approaching the door … and a superimposed face covers the tackle … a big, black muvver … in 2025.
At this point I ask what your thoughts are.
Mine, as I never leave dear readers wondering, are firstly … door left ajar? Meaning deliverer asks hello? If male, guy says leave it by the door. If female deliverer … you get the idea. She did go inside, with phone cam, at some point he gets up and advances on her.
At this stage, did she freak out and he reacted badly? We can’t know because it was only carefully edited footage allowed to be shown, so whoever had an agenda here was pushing it. Too many unknowns here and maybe she was out of order posting it online but I keep coming back to that door ajar, big black muvver half-naked on the divan … is that normal behaviour, with a food delivery coming?
As for the wording on the thumbnail, Ms Emily’s reason for running the vlog … that does not seem to be what it’s about … not completely.
Issue seems to me to be … was the door ajar or closed?

I must declare, straight away, that though this is about the RC Church, you could have made it about *any* church based on a priesthood and money, gold, property … it’s about corruption, plus about so many supposed godly people’s personal little sins, skeletons.
Yes, we’ve run it twice, not everyone likes PM, I could have chosen a film … this was still a very good episode.
“A priest, Father O’ Neil (Timothy Bottoms), and a young nun called Sister Margaret (Michele Greene) are carrying out a full financial audit on behalf of the church, including the church hospital. Father O’ Neil suspects that embezzlement on a grand scale is taking place and the church’s lawyers, accountants and even the hospital’s chief of medicine fear that their gravy train is about to be brought to an end.
Father O’ Neil is murdered at his hotel by a hitman disguised as a priest who calls himself Father Logan (Hagan Beggs). He lures Sister Margaret to the hotel where he drugs her and squeezes the knife into her hand. When she recovers and is found with the murder weapon and the body she is duly arrested and charged with Father O’ Neil’s murder.
Rumours had been circulating around the convent that she and Father O’ Neil were having an affair, and a letter supposedly written by him to her ending the so-called relationship is found in her room. Sgt Brock (James McEachin) believes it to be her motive, but Perry has his doubts and suspects that whoever is embezzling the church hired the mysterious Father Logan to murder Father O’ Neil and then frame Sister Margaret…
The first sequel to the successful TVM Perry Mason Returns (1985), which was based on the classic 1950’s-60’s courtroom drama series. Numerous sequels followed and this stands as one of the best.
There is some entertaining chemistry between William Katt (here reprising his role as the PI Paul Drake Jnr) and Michele Greene as Sister Margaret that is a joy to watch. She and Drake fall out after she insists on helping him carry out his investigation. He traps the phoney priest Father Logan in a health club, but Sister Margaret’s meddling means that he loses him.
Later, Della Street (Barbara Hale), urges him to make things up with her since everyone is shunning her because she’s a murder suspect and she is all alone and needs a friend. Initially, Drake is reluctant and asks “Why are you looking at me?”, but he finds her praying alone in the chapel and she confides in him that she doesn’t feel she can make it as a nun. She is due to take her final vows soon, and although there was no actual affair between her and the murdered man, she admits that she loved him and as a result of that feels that she cannot meet the standards required of her by the church.
In a moving scene, Drake manages to convince her that she does have the strength to do it and it isn’t wrong to have feelings for somebody. There is also another powerful scene in the courtroom where she takes the witness stand against Perry’s wishes and the prosecutor, Michael Reston (David Ogden Stiers), predictably, goes for her and attempts to bully her into confessing to Father O’ Neil’s murder and into admitting to their alleged affair.
In a show of strength she denies it and then speaks out defending the murdered priest’s integrity and that he never once broke his vows with her and she never did with him. Drake’s encouragements lead her to take the brave stand she did and their friendship is restored. This provides the emotional element in the story and it comes off well thanks to good writing, Greene and Katt’s performances and Ron Satlof’s skilled direction.
Raymond Burr is in top form as Mason and his courtroom scenes are in full throttle here as he gives the witnesses both barrels on the witness stand. As he unmasks the killer, his repetitive “Isn’t it true?” line of questioning builds it up to a real crescendo as the prosecutor keeps trying to object, the public gallery is loud in astonishment and Mason keeps going on and on despite the judge’s furious and futile attempts to bring his court to order.
In some later episodes, the courtroom scenes did not always manage to be as dramatic and as suspenseful as they are here.
The supporting cast is excellent with the most notable being Timothy Bottoms and Michele Greene as Father O’ Neil and Sister Margaret. But, Barbara Parkins, Gerald S. O. Loughlin, Jon Cypher and Edward Winter also deserve praise as the people entrusted to look after the affairs of the church and hospital, and they all look untrustworthy, devious and on the make. But, you will be hard pressed to guess which of them is the guilty party before the end.
Mention should also be made of Hagan Beggs as Father Logan.
Dean Hargrove’s script contains a good plot, peopled with interesting characters and it plays as fair as one could wish with the audience. Ron Satlof, the series’ best director, directs with aplomb, exploiting the setting of wintry Denver Colorado to maximum effect.”
