Let’s establish that this print is of good quality vision, not bad sound, it’s 1929, the year of the crash, sound is appearing in films, plus it has Louise Brooks, plus it’s precode for a few years so was often risque at that time.
The film launched William Powell but was the time Louise refused to speak … it was badly dubbed later when Louise refused to come back to Paramount to do it. She was not a happy girl. I went to a few bios of her, some more searching … she was abused at nine and was a mess thereafter. Till her death.
(0627) Morning all … rain, mist and low-lying Gates cloud. First half of the blogging day will be broken up a bit I’m afraid, till about 1330 … I need to go out a few times. (0808)

Couldna believe yesterday Andy posting GG but hey … makes the world turn, eh? ☺️ However, today here’s me also doing it:

*CK doing vital work fighting the Left Machine in the incubator itself … hence the apoplexy … this is the fodder the evil bstds are partly now being denied. **Were it one of us saying it, I’d smile. As it’s Trump or Wiles or whoever … it’s at least worth exploring. However, I noticed Steve has slipped in the anon Liberty Beacon again by the back door today, so pinch of salt. Ah, finally some attribution … poor journalism not to have it upfront:
a) General relief in Brussels after the unexpected victory of Nicușor Dan in Romania, against George Simion, his opponent who had led the first round by a wide margin.
b) Macron on “Crusade Against the J€w1sh State”. Macron declared that the recognition of a P@l€stinian state was “not simply a moral duty, but a political requirement.”
c) Twenty-five people on May 30 were set to appear before French investigating judges as part of several probes into a spate of kidnapping plots targeting cryptocurrency entrepreneurs, prosecutors said.
d) ‘We will rape your women and colonize you!’ M1gr@nt gang jailed in France for r@c1st attack on White neighbors during community barbecue.
“A fourth man has been arrested by police investigating fires at two properties and a car linked to (Sir War Footing).”

23. Jim Ferguson is better known, formerly
… for economic analysis but in this has joined those of us watching the madness:
Unconfirmed but mounting reports indicate Oreshnik and Russia’s strategic nuclear arsenal have been placed on high readiness following Ukrainian strikes and Russian Iskander missile retaliation.
Sources suggest: Strategic silos and mobile units are being activated. Command posts in Oreshnik—linked to Russia’s nuclear response chain—are now on elevated status. Satellite data hints at unusual military activity near known warhead transport routes.
This isn’t just saber-rattling. It’s the resurrection of Cold War brinkmanship, triggered by escalating direct conflict between NATO-aligned Ukraine and the Russian Federation.
Analysts warn: “This level of readiness hasn’t been seen since the Cuban Missile Crisis.”
We are entering uncharted territory. Global leaders are on edge. The line between conventional war and something far worse is paper-thin.

21. Steve on the Polish result
Polish election – the CPAC Conference was in Poland last week and who knows, may be it helped..
The U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem [@KristiNoem] said that Karol Nawrocki [@NawrockiKn] should be the next president of Poland. Speaking at the CPAC Conference in Rzeszów in Poland’s southeast, Noem also criticized his run-off rival and Warsaw mayor Rafał… pic.twitter.com/rx3hZ0VHKq
1. I like work, it fascinates me; I can sit and look at it for hours … 2. There are two golden rules for am orchestra … start together and finish together … 3. Beneath the rule of men entirely great … the pen is mightier than the sword. 4. We all know that politicians are wedded to the truth, but sometimes … 5. Abstinence is as easy to me as temperance is difficult.
a. Samuel Johnson, some memoirs 1834; b. Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1838; c. Jerome K Jerome, 1889; d. Thomas Beecham, in 1978 bio; e. Saki, 1912
Right, well I played this jazz song on Sunday and the pictures were of Mack Sennett comedies of the day … explored and found that he gathered bathing beauties in “risque” costumes. Risque eh? Oh, our boys will love those.
Then I did my calculations … let’s say that those lasses were maybe 23 on average … and Sennet ran those comedies from 1915 to 1928 … then I’m thinking they’d have been born between 1892 and 1905 … and to take the median there, that puts the birthyear at around 1899.
So you chaps are looking at ladies born 1899. Which makes them 126 years old today. Just thought I’d mention it. ☺️
(1003) Right, here’s the cunning plan, cavemen and women … two loads of washing are on … there’s a scheduled quiz and it took some writing … plus there’s an item about Mack Sennett which will fill the ladies at lunchtime spot. Plus IYE has a special item on ladies in France. Film? Not yet but I’ll find something. Maybe. (1031)

14. Tale of Tulsi
Now look, Tulsi is one tough chick, as is Kristi, both know the score but even so … they’re both girls when it comes down to it and like Pammy … being coiffed, threatening but not actually doing … that’s the gals’ way.
Hence the “do you agree” … from a govt dept head?
