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.)
“If you are a die-hard fan of 1970s crime films or love Michael Caine, it is a perfectly fun and breezy watch. However, if you are looking for a tight, high-stakes masterpiece, it will likely leave you feeling underwhelmed.”
… going out alone, coming back home, drunk, alone … had she not been pure young female feminazi and wokerati … she’d have had defences up on door and wall and still be alive.

JH: In my role as redactor and signposter, there is simply no way I can deeply explore all at the same time, esp. Steve’s, which are copious. This is the whole point of NOWP … I sketchily signpost here but the real reading and watching has to be yours over there, deciding what you will and won’t look into.
Meanwhile, I am seriously taking a set against “journo” pieces, having been involved in that field myself. For example, the clickbait “n4 will really amaze you” or the use of “Breaking!” or “Watch now!” presupposes that the facts cannot stand on their own … they have to be sensationalised with “Shocking!” and other such bilge.
Being a quite ornery or fractious or curmudgeonly type … if a poster tries to “lead” me or goad through manipulation, I just click out, scroll past. Remember, I am NOT referring to Steve, IYE, DAD and crew … I’m referring to more journalistic types embellishing, gilding the lily.
In fact, the more “boring” we are at Unherdables, the better … “juss the facts, ma’am” as Dragnet used to say. It’s dangerous … self-praise … nauseating too, but “our lot here”, imho, do a fine job getting a fair bit in front of our readers to explore. And the whole idea is we are not The Oracle, we are just starter points to chase up.
… even if I’m posting now so I can have brekky and explore Stevedrops for Fri 6.
The topic … good, yes. The treatment? Dear oh dear. That AI commercial, journo type trained, cultured voice with perfect cadence … offputting I’m afraid. However, there are subtitles.
(0530) Rolf’s item only scheduled last evening. Special day for the boy … you might visit him. (0721) Real start to the day, which means solid sleep … brill. Sorry me so late, chaps and chapesses. (0900)

4. Despite still being Reform because it’s more respectable
… less “far right seeming” and Nige is such a cutie, (no?), therefore, a newly politicised middle-class lady will favour Reform rather than the more unpleasant sounding, the “less forgiving of child rape” Restore … despite all that, the play “Right” Reform just ain’t gonna do diddly squat. Restore are though, constituency by constituency, humourlessly … a series of pesky spanners in the works.
3. DAD at 1388
a) WATCH: Belgian police are AFRAID to confront illegal migrants heading to the UK. (JH: Always beware of trigger and clickbait journalism. I’ve been observing this account … it’s on the unsure list, the maximise traffic list. Develop a scepticism of anything they clearly want you to do, chaps and chapesses.)
b) It has been just over a month since the Rassemblement National (RN) took office for the first time in a whole host of town halls across France. The Left is crying foul and expressing concern at the prospect of sweeping cuts to funding for community organisations and culture….
c) The Italian and Albanian governments have reaffirmed their commitment to a bilateral agreement aimed at tackling illegal migration towards the European Union, amid tensions over its long-term future.
d) The UK Government has issued a new general trade licence allowing the import of diesel and jet fuel refined from Russian crude oil, even as it maintains a strict ban on new oil and gas exploration licences in the North Sea.
2. Lord Toby’s site is not always quotable
When they start this paywall rubbish, that’s MSM, M25 bubble, goodbye. But listed further down, unsung? That’s the article for me:
A secret Whitehall deal to keep a “temporary” migrant camp in Crowborough open until 2030 despite repeated assurances it would operate for no more than 12 months has been uncovered by council chiefs in East Sussex. The Mailhas the story:
A camp housing 600 asylum seekers is set to remain open until 2030, despite repeated assurances from the Government that it would operate for no longer than 12 months.
Council chiefs say they have uncovered documents revealing a secret deal between two Government departments – understood to be the Ministry of Defence and the Home Office – to continue housing migrants at the former Army training camp in Crowborough, East Sussex.
1. Rolf Norfolk (Sackerson)
Our current Prime Minister is fond of using law as an expression of his autocratic power. A recent government press release states:
Eleven foreign far-right agitators intent on coming to the UK to spew their extremist views have been blocked from entering the country, as the Prime Minister takes action to protect British communities from vile hate.
Note the intemperate emotive language: “spew” and “vile.” This is not merely cool-headed administration but propaganda. It goes on in similar tone:
… violent thugs who spew hatred on our streets will face the full force of the law.
JH: Uh huh … you might like to head over there and say happy bday.
(1702) I’m back, think she was glad to be rid of me, she couldna get a word in edgeways. So, could have been worse. Evening all.

a. Healthy ageing. JH: IYE’s post item is in comments here, plus at 1388:1 over there. Nowhere in our system can it be got to open … your call, chaps and chapesses.
b. “FOLLOW THE FOREIGN MONEY – Eric Trump and Don Trump Jr. One of the shadiest follow the money deep dives I have put together…”
“ Yesterday the U.S. government permanently barred the IRS from auditing Trump, his family, and their businesses. Today, the receipts on who has been paying them. $500 million from the UAE national security adviser. $2 billion through the Trump stablecoin. A $1 billion tower going up in Jeddah. And the U.S. Middle East envoy is the man whose son cofounded it all.…”
11. Yes, they must put the hard work in
