(1607) Almost evening all. It was a bit busy this afternoon.

 

21. There was an X earlier on the shipping forecast

20. Your thoughts on the new year?

19. Moosh corner

18. Do you ever lose your phone, leave it behind?

17. Remember those Viking girls who boated over and captured our men?

16. Fast food in the UK

15. Russia, the Ukraine, the US

Long ago, was always the same:

This fellow sums up part of what I assume we are all about, what defines us perhaps. A short video ostensibly regarding wood burners but much much deeper than that. |  https://youtu.be/1g6hFKJcPeo?si=EomBgSyflDsRTExO

JH: Need Andy to help me here with the main points … I saw it but the guy was being drowned out by noise-like music.

13. Gonna try it?

🤩 Happy Rock’n New Year! 🤍💯🤘🏼🥂 pic.twitter.com/gDo67B9mGW

Shall post the triple header tomorrow morn … those X ones are beyond my brain in the evening.

• Dave Brat Blasts The NYT For Their Glazing Of Zohran Mamdani Being The First Mayor Ever To Swear In On A Quran

• Bannon: Go Back And Look At What Brigitte Bardot Said About Islam In The 90s And Then Look At Paris, France, Today. She Told You Exactly What Was Going To Happen

• Dave Brat: Islam Is Not A Construction System; It Tears Down And Takes Over. That’s Why We’re Seeing How Unsustainable It Is In Paris And London!

• Ben Harnwell: Europe is over. Its final service to mankind is to convince America not to follow its path

Been searching, found a useful IYE:

Yes, yes … how many times have these three been posted now? No apple-logs, good reader, for that. 2026 … here we come!

10. To all the well fed this day

9. Coordinated around the west

8. One of today’s items at TDS

7. DAD, Georgi and Amal

This Wednesday, Marie-Pierre Vedrenne stated that she was “very proud” that George Clooney “is applying for French citizenship.” However, she believes that “this sends the wrong message.”

Scroll down to the bottom of the ‘Official Notice’ to the last three names who became French citizens at the end of December 2025.

Again, this narrator has been criticised … last time for the children’s instructional manner, today for constant repetition of key points. This is not really his fault … it’s the fault of the medium, the youtube rules as well, how they have to pad vlogs out, whereas blogs can vary their output and its form.

Having said all that, it’s still interesting in its key points. I like the chap.

(0817) Gates sky and cold out there. Ta for the kind words but I could easily send the same to you chaps and chapesses. And in the end, we’re only as good as our last post. (0914)

4. The law is an ass

3. DAD at 1249

a) Andrew Bridgen … The problem in the house building trade in the UK. Why houses are not being built. It’s not about planning permission.

b) As France prepares to enter an intense period of elections—municipal in 2026, legislative and presidential in 2027—the way French voters think about politics is starting to change, with opposition to the far-left, particularly La France Insoumise (LFI), now outweighing the long-standing desire to block the right-wing Rassemblement National (RN).

c) A long-running criminal case against Gunnar Beck, a former Member of the European Parliament for the Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, has imploded before a Neuss North Rhine-Westphalia district court.

d) Can a Statue be the victim of Sexual Assault? Parisian feminists prefer wasting their energy defending the rights of a statue over preventing attacks on real women.

2. The Iranian situation

Let’s open with this:

I wrote (a couple of days ago I think) that all this in Iran is good but the regime are cowards … they’ll wait till the fervour subsides, runs out of steam, then hit at pinpoints with thugs, acting with grotesque, demonic brutality

Forget not the situation in Brazil as well with Bolsonaro. Some more reports, remembering that the most penetrating will be Israeli:

(0759) Predictably late start, Happy New Year, going to open proceedings by expanding a post just up at OoL. (0809)

 

This was my opening at OoL:

Greetings on New Year, readers … Julia spoke for both of us last evening.

We tend at Orphans to run mainly Britcentric fayre but do mention events in other places. Thinking what to put up this morning, what crystallised in the blurry NYD brain was why not post just a few street scenes, including those in Iran, which is the main news coming out at 7:30 a.m. GMT.

Going to post some Brit, one Amsterdam and one Tehran scene below. At Unherdables, I’ll expand the Iran situation as a separate post item.

A few street scenes

Amsterdam overnight:

The Iranian situation shall be in NYD [2], DAD will be NYD [3].

(1557) Almost evening, all.

 

25. Aunty Toodles recommends

I am sending a link of The Patriot Nurse.  She is giving out suggestions for the flu. You may know all about what to do, but review is always good. She may have a surprise thing to do so that is interesting to know about. 

Make sure you order several containers of bone broth on your next grocery order. Also maybe have other items on hand too. If the broth is too plain you can add lemon juice, even tomatoes…fresh or canned.  I would do that soon…just in case. 

Also, teas, and epsom salt as well as the other suggestions given by her.  

I hope you get all or at least most of her suggestions and not need to use any of it. Well, the vitamin rich foods you will use now as well as if you come down with the malady. 

24. NGO racket

Here it is:

U.S. Congress is silent because it has built the largest racket empire on Earth: NGOs.

The other two parts … your job to find them.

20. Steve at 1249

• Karen Siegemund On The Fight Against The Islamification Of Europe And United States

• Petr Bystron: the AfD is being prosecuted for a made-up crime of “delegitimizing the German state”

A short 25 minute Peter Gunn again. Last evening, I was watching the first Link Wray version of Rumble, which took off after it was banned. On the Waterfront had been in 1954, Rebel Without a Cause followed.

I couldn’t help feeling it was all poseur, playing the tough … for what reason? Motif continued in Peter Gunn but more acceptably … opens reasonably and fairly but if someone pushes it, he’ll hit back … as it should be. Looks after his Edie girl without fawning over her … nice plots in the main:

The characters are good on the good side … Mother at Mother’s Bar, the clientele … I was never into the Felonious Monk type jazz, too discordant for mine, torch singers … was more the later Crystals. And yet the series is nicely handled … it’s my older brother and sister type culture.

Oh dear … much married:
