(0712) Morning all. Sunny, blindingly so in the sunroom, exacerbating my own vision issues which I think are to a large extent screen proximity … nuff on all that. Had to go back to the darker bedroom/gym to get a bit of contrast going. (0806)
10. Moo corner
9. Thune and Johnson in cahoots
8. Another health advice thingy picked up along the way
7. Similar vein … about homicides this time
On Quora, a leftist Readers Digest type newsletter. The quoted wiki gives rates in the first data column … fine … Turks and Caicos, wherever that is, comes out as the n1 bad place you don’t need to be. But in the intro, the aim was to hit Russia as the n1 dangerous place.
6. Themes tend to suggest themselves each day
… today’s seems to be “reliability of incoming intel”. Whitsun 1 was basically all about that, also kaitjustice, also leah (scroll down, in comments).
For some reason, I had no trouble going through kaitjustice … I read it all … and then turned back to leah, unsure why I was reticent. Was it coz I adore Donny? Hardly. Was it coz of Massie, a revolting person to my mind? It certainly wasn’t IYE, Steve, any factor like that.
There was just something though. Puzzled.
So I determined to “wade” through it. And almost immediately … oh no. It’s paywall, like Steve’s one I saw before that … which puts me out. However, to be fair, leah provided sub titles as one cannot access her voice unless one pays $$$$$$. She goes on and on about being paid.
Then she goes on about trying to be one of the top 10 pundits … red flags all over the place … klaxons going off … and we must pay her to do that. Then those tatts … women with tatts and what it says about their judgement, yet upfront about it all (a good thing in itself) … especially about having fallen down her stairs and broken her tailfin or whatever … condolences … ok, this is the world of the female … my attitude is mainly => luv em.
Finally to the topic => Donny and why she dislikes him and wants us all to know. Slowly, as the subtitles began, she had good intel, she’d done her homework, excoriating Trump and how he operates. No arguments from me … and so it proceeded.
Then the side by side pics of Obama’s inauguration and Trump’s. That was naughty of her. It showed Bummer’s at the point of speeches but I remember that Trump pic of people coming to the event earlier … at the point of speeches, Donny had about the same crowd … but leah is trying to show no one wanted Donny. Bollox.
Then she starts on the 2020 and “claims” of a coup. Bollox again, leah … many sources in the past days have simply confirmed it … but leah ignores all that, coz she has a narrative.
And this is the main difference between her and kaitjustice. The latter just lays out names and events, dates.
Now don’t get me wrong … leah brings many good points … Donny is no angel and his modus operandi is quite questionable … so leah wins … but … but … but … still … you get the drift.

a) The transport of sheep and goats will be restricted for three days during Eid al-Adha in the Deux-Sèvres department. This year, Eid al-Adha will begin on Wednesday, May 27, 2026, and last for three days. (JH: They can get knotted)

1. The state of play … an op ed of sorts
Being hopefully still of clear(ish) mind, still sceptical, even of my own shibboleths beyond the Trinity, the latter seeming in my heart to be more and more strongly indicated as we go on, one observes all the bits and pieces of evidence of what “the other side” has in mind, what’s been long term planned … so why not start with IYE’s kaitjustice (you can find her in a recent comment).
Then I strongly suggest leah (I’m about to re-read), plus other items we have up, plus those found through our blogrounds and other rounds. Some are better than others.
Andy’s comment was to the point:
Trying to understand what’s happening can be like viewing a massive canvas full of intricate detail. Looking at me corner of this canvas won’t tell the full story, a glance to the other side can reveal connections which would otherwise be missed. That’s why I read the captured scientific publications, what is discovered today will surely be weaponised tomorrow. Similarly an apparent throw away comment in a Grauniad op-ed today is tomorrow’s water cooler conversation and government policy next week. The canvas in front of us is full of information and it can give us a clue as to what the future holds.
There are some fine intellects contributing (Steve drops in David Starkey) … do your reading, peeps, inc. the forbidden reading … key scriptures of the Christian kind. Why would you turn away? Coz you’re programmed to … simple. Similarly, why are so many youngsters Woke? Coz they’re programmed to be.
There’s much to be said for learning from a wise person, as long as that person is driven by truth and other factors don’t start kicking in. Sherlock said to Watson, about Colonel Moran, about a tree:
Sherlock Holmes is comparing Colonel Sebastian Moran’s descent into crime to the unsightly, sudden eccentricity of a tree. He uses this metaphor to explain to Dr. Watson how men with distinguished pedigrees sometimes inexplicably deviate into evil. [1, 2]
The specific conversation occurs in The Adventure of the Empty House when Holmes breaks down the criminal pedigree of his adversary (once famously noted in Holmes’s index as “The second most dangerous man in London”). [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Holmes explains Moran’s eccentric turn to Watson:
“There are some trees, Watson, which grow to a certain height, and then suddenly develop some unsightly eccentricity. You will see it often in humans. I have a theory that the individual represents in his development the whole procession of his ancestors, and that such a sudden turn to good or evil stands for some strong influence which came into the line of his pedigree.” [1, 2]
He theorizes that Moran, despite a brilliant military career and distinguished family, simply carried a fatal genetic predisposition to villainy that asserted itself in his later years.
Even a Pope can tell you things which start as truth, then one gets to the embellishments he/she adds, for his/her own reasons, such as in the old song Master Jack, by Four Jacks and a Jill:
Holmes used the metaphor of the tree trunk … the search for truth in a way and I in turn look at what people always revert to when pressed … for many today, Science, as perceived through their Royal Society lens or their Info Tech lens, their cyber lens, their chosen field … and then they look no further … western traditionalists revert to the philosophers … Aristotle, Plato, Kant … while those more ancient revert to the Gospels, plus certain OT texts, as a good starter.
Bearing all the above in mind, here are some items from this morning. First off, Rupert’s take on Saturday’s canvassing in Makerfield … methought it a most measured take … by no means Restore steamrolling it … but neither were Reform nor Labour. (See post Saturday 22 at Unherdables HQ).
Then I took a shot at Zoomers up to Gen X yesterday, pointing out that educational standards across the west dipped sharply after 1971, when courses started going Fabian Woke, open plan etc. This was one interesting response from a mid Gen Xer:
Then Donny and world events:
Uh huh. Meanwhile, the head techie at X writes:
Only the other day, one of our chaps sent something from Nawfal …shows just how careful one needs to be.
Now, take all that through the filters of Kaitjustice and Leah (see IYE in comments), then revert to what you revert to as your core truth, core gospel … and ask yourself the question … do the normies out there with the vote, inc. badly educated Zoomers and Millennials, ferret to anywhere near the extent required? Or do they latch onto first one “truth”, then a counter-truth, then another? Do we ourselves keep questioning?
But having found a core truth, do we further question that or have a bit of faith and incorporate it in our Canon?

“Btw, it had always puzzled me why Island man was “chosen” – he was identified as mathematically exceptional at the age of ten when he was at the Hebrew Academy of Nassau County. So now we know.”

21. Sarah from Alberta has been on about this couple for years
… I’ve been asking along with her, not fully understanding the full scope of the question:
JH: Allegedly of course, only allegedly.
20. Moo corner
19. Obviously, That Alex Woman
… as she calls herself, former (?) paramour of Nige … hence the GB News connection with Reform … obviously she is onto something here:
“Who knew that men from a culture that sells their child daughters as sex slaves would be inclined to commit such heinous atrocities? Afghan migrants who entered UK on small boats or lorries are charged with rape and child sex abuse.
May well be someone different and our one below here never did it, nor committed any treason:
A very good point by John Cleese … obviously, this particular Mehdi Hasan … well, it’s a common name in India, innit … obviously if he’s a choirboy, has never beaten or raped a woman or child in his blameless life … then he’d be delighted to call out the terrorist ones. No?
17. Vance should be sitting in the Senate
16. Right, take this one apart

10. Moo corner
9. This is the man who runs X
8. Folic acid in the flour
7. Of vaxxes, murder and treason
6. Male, female and disabled toilets
This “equalities” bint is not even trying to offer an easy solution, she’s trying to complicate it to ensure troons can go into women’s loos. No way, Jose. No way. Solution is Men’s only, women’s only and that third, lockable room is for disabled, for real and in brain. A troon could only get in once it’s unlocked. End of.
Lord Toby’s Will Jones reported from the Mail story:
“Delayed guidance by the equalities watchdog says it is “unlikely to be either practical or appropriate” to challenge people if they should be using the gents’ or the ladies’ in places such as supermarkets or cinemas.
It says signs and websites should be used to tell people that a service is single-sex, and that people can be asked if they are eligible to use it if there is “clear evidence” that men are trying to access female-only areas.
But the Equality and Human Rights Commission’s new Code of Practice, updated in the wake of the landmark Supreme Court ruling on single-sex spaces, warns it is “not always possible to be sure of a person’s sex from their appearance” and no official documents such as passports or driving licences provide “reliable evidence”.”

2. DAD at 1389
a) The French National Institute for Demographic Studies (INED) has published a collective work based on the Trajectories and Origins 2 (TeO2) survey, which sheds light on the life trajectories of immigrants, their descendants, and more broadly on the diversity of French society. …
b) Gabriel Attal: Macronism’s youngest face, in search of the presidency it shaped. The 37-year-old former prime minister announced he would seek the Renaissance Party nomination to succeed Emmanuel Macron.
c) Construction of Islamic worship centers funded by Turkey, Qatar, and Iran has been welcomed by Western politicians eager to court the Muslim immigrant vote….
(Note the time … it just happened that way, was not contrived)
This morning’s theme is about showing the inner workings of my “redacting brain” whenever, first thing in the morning, I open first the mail, then comments at HQ and at NOWP, plus scroll down my X homepage for anything basically new happening.
Anything earlier Steve probably caught last evening.
This process does tend to push me more and more to the centre, as both sides’ opposed takes on any given issue fill the column inches. Apart from straight out globery and wokery, which I skip past, I do at least try to look through, unless there’s clickbaitery going on. Time is too precious … it’s 0342 now, I have OoL to post, plus DAD kicks in early morn, plus there’s an NOWP issue today.
I have to wait for DAD to complete 1389 before starting 1390, because Steve has a youtube better up at NOWP 1390:1 … these sorts of decisions are happening the whole time.
All right, have a quick look at this, my comments page inside … first two from the top Steve’s, the two below IYE’s:
The decision process … Elon is a problem in that he makes redaction difficult on X:
The sheer ugliness of that huge black subscribe button is offputting if quoting, so I’d cut it out and just say it’s Elon. If you need the url, it’s in comments as you see. Were I to run it in the post, it would expand and it does not bring anything new this morning, plus the column inch requirement is too much.
By the way … to get the Doge Designer post, I’d have to click and expand … but lose Elon’s post in the process. It’s not designed for reportage or quoting.
The youtube is for 1390, not up yet as I await DAD up to two hours from now.
All right … IYE’s big comment … well put together of course but this leah he’s latched onto … highly biased anti-Trump, as Massie, Cornyn etc. are. That’s an issue in the US just now due to traitor Thune preventing the programme Donny was elected for. Yes, you can well argue against Iran, plus Argentina (coming up) but Thune is damaging the internal programme.
Anyway, the link works in comments.
Tulsi resignation is quite worth a read … shall quote IYE on that. (Post ends at 0407 by the way … coffee and toasted teacake time. Light coming up outside.)
