(0934) Very late start for me, translating as good sleep, therefore not too bad, healthwise. Plus a major post at OoL and Jstack … it did take much gathering and redacting this morning. Greetings all … 8/8 cloud cover, poison for all, already coughing and headache. (0958)

“Who Is Bettina Anderson, Don Jr.’s New Wife and Epstein’s Banker’s Daughter?
The bride’s father handled Jeffrey Epstein’s money for almost twenty years. He also spent forty years building something else.”
a) Le Pen leads every major rival in new French presidential run-off polling. Whether the National Rally’s presidential candidate is Le Pen or Bardella, the party is in great shape.
b) Tens of thousands of people celebrated Paris Saint-Germain’s Champions League victory in the streets of Paris on Saturday, May 30, 2026, including 20,000 on the Champs-Élysées, according to the Paris police prefecture….
c) The number of prisoners in France reached a historic high of 88,654 on May 1, 2026. This figure represents a 5.9% increase in one year. Prison overcrowding is worsening.
d) Polish President Nawrocki wants to strip Zelensky of the country’s highest honour. Zelensky received the Order of the White Eagle from then-president Andrzej Duda during a visit to Warsaw.
e) Tsipras returns to Greek politics with new party, leaps to second in polls. The party aims to create a more centrist, broad progressive alliance that brings together the radical left, social democracy and political ecology.
Warren Zevon (died 2003) was an acquired taste … did not set the world on fire and yet there’s a cult feel to his work … the big musos all seemed to like him, Letterman was a fan … I saw this song played on Letterman, using the house band. Good stuff.
You know why I like reaction videos of the old numbers? Why so many females? I like those without egos, with integrity inside, who can feel … there are dozens who are rubbish in my book, male or female. About a dozen all up seem to have something to them. I was thinking … just play the song itself, nostalgically?
Nah … I want that interaction, discovery, surprise from another human. She herself was talking about wanting space to herself, he was singing about still wanting to wake up with someone beside him. Between Warren and her was a nice living pattern. Leaving aside faith for a mo, there are still limits to what we can psychologically handle. I’m known as a hermit but readers know I’m connecting with someone or another all day, everyday. Bored? Lonely? Chance would be a fine thing. Gregarious … and yet an isolate.
That’s what this song is all about.
15. There’s a real edge to all this now
All the western antiWoke, antiGlobo, anticommunist, antiFabian forces are in a resurgence but the Achilles heel of “the right” has always been that their inability to combine … they’re unherdable cats. We’re unherdable cats. But all sorts of people are seeing the extant danger now in the west and are meeting, as above. The establishment did think they had it sussed … attack Farage as long as he stayed on tele and lose badly to him in a GE, thereby retaining control.
But this was new … 10 out of 10 for Restore in GY, just an idea people wanted to back, no slick pollies … and there have been early issues … Saskiagate was one. Restorers are strange people, blunt and noneffusive in many ways, dark sense of humour … and very young, a new breed … Gen X and Gen Zee dominate … most interesting model indeed.
Who’ll win Makerfield? Who knows? Could still be the pretty boy or Burnham … Rebecca is everything a politician isn’t. But Restore is nothing if not ornery, contrary and many really, really like her as she runs the campaign her way, the party trying to promote her. I for one really like her and so many others do too.
Will she win? Who knows? She’ll be more experienced as a branch organiser. Fallings out? Naturally … we’re unherdable. Getting personal … she’s not a classic beauty, not a classic shape … so … bleedin’ … what?
And you know, ditto with the girl in Sat 16 in a few moments. Thus I like her a lot.
Fascinating, even gripping tale tomorrow morning after the news … so many elements lift it out of the ordinary, e.g. real audio of the events, recorded.

For good reason this video of Frank Wright’s pavement talk with Vox Populi went viral last week..
We Need to Save the Nation | Restore Britain, Makerfield
| https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvNYFtbOl5g
Now he’s on The Peter McCormack Show:
Frank Wright joins me after going viral for saying that reality, not extremism, is radicalising people.
In this episode, we discuss Britain’s decline, the failure of liberal democracy, Restore, Reform, immigration, national identity, working-class dignity, debt, inflation and why Frank believes Britain is facing a final chance to Restore itself.
Frank argues that people are not being radicalised by fringe ideology, but by what they can see around them: institutions that no longer work, town centres in decline, a political class that cannot govern, an economy hollowed out by debt and dependency, and a media system that tells people not to trust their own eyes.
I push Frank on: what it means to Restore Britain, why nationhood matters, how you build a big enough tent, how we avoid conflict, and whether our political system is even capable of fixing itself. Whatever you think of Frank, he has clearly touched a nerve.

a) The thirty-five ewes and lambs stolen on the night of May 23-24, 2026, from a farm in Saint-Gély-du-Fesc, on the northern outskirts of Montpellier, have been found dead. According to Métropolitain, the animals had been butchered and their meat taken.
b) Allegedly leaked documents from a claimed Russian psychological warfare outfit are said to reveal how meticulously “cognitive strikes” are planned against Western countries to sow demoralisation, including a mass distribution of pig parts to Parisian mosques in 2025.

Those people who consume large amounts of alcohol and try to conceal it usually succeed in their efforts until one knows how to recognize the signs. One of the most evident symptoms is related to the odor of alcohol that may manifest not only on the person’s breath but also on his or her skin during mornings or after sweat. If somebody consumed too much alcohol overnight, it would be possible to detect its smell even several hours later regardless of brushing of teeth or application of perfume.
It is worth paying attention to people’s behavior concerning alcohol consumption in social settings. Those individuals who drink alcohol heavily but try to hide it would volunteer to take orders for everybody, drink quickly in comparison with others, and become nervous in case there is no alcohol available at the event. In addition, such people would often undervalue their consumption, speaking about “just a glass or two,” while their behavior demonstrates other results. Moreover, people who consume large amounts of alcohol recover from it quickly since they have developed some tolerance to it, which takes years to build.
The physical signs of hidden alcohol abuse accumulate gradually. Visible symptoms such as persistent redness or broken blood vessels on the nose and cheeks, unexpected weight gain in the middle of their body, puffiness or yellowness around their eyes in the morning, and shaking hands before the first glass of alcohol in the morning are clear signs. The person may also frequently complain about sleeping poorly, problems with their digestion, or suffering from headaches, which are typical results of long-term alcohol abuse but will be explained by other causes.
Behavior-wise, the person is likely to be evasive about the topic of drinking alcohol. They may try to laugh it off, try to change the subject, or even get irritated. One should also pay attention to the fact that the person always finds a reason to drink alcohol – either because of a stressful week, a celebration, or any other personal matter since it makes it easier for them to deny that it is a habit.
In case someone notices these signs in a close friend or relative, it is highly recommended to seek help in online communities and forums where people openly discuss their own experience of dealing with medical problems related to excessive alcohol consumption.
(1814) Evening all … just crashed earlier and snoozed much of the afternoon, came out of it now. Looks fine out there, hoping you’re all well. Continued in Fri 11 below.
12. So, escaped all the bad news momentarily
Checked YouTube recommendeds … one of my fave reactors right there … with a CCR song of yore … goodness, how long ago was all that now?
Right at the start of the song, YT rudely cut to ad … a bleedin’ Indian at a desk, eff off … I click out, back in again. Why a reaction, why not just the song? It means a lot to me, seeing how a few generations later, how someone will react, plus she’s easy on the eyes and ears.
Uh huh, Jon Fogerty reprised the theme decades later, picked up by maybe a Russian here and he puts a nice video behind it. Jon Fogerty good as usual, band not bad. Hmmmmm … it’s not CCR, it lacks the CCR touch but at least it’s something in the “Grapevine” style.
Er … wow … two points stuck out. Decades ago, I was in Oz’s Northern Territory, had taken the road at right angles to the main Darwin-Adelaide highway, I was looking for Crocodile Dundee swamp country with crocs or gators … they’d just rescued a guy from a tree after 36 hours, crocs were around the foot of the tree snapping upwards.
Yes, beautiful area near Katherine, birds in flight etc. but the road was a bit iffy … asphalt and yet soft edges. Gave it away and turned the car, heading back to the highway.
Er … right in front of me, a tornado thingy crossing the road, the sound a cacophony … they called it a cyclone in that part of Oz … it wasn’t coming my way, not at all. It was spinning in a circle, a twister, but the whole phenomenon was slowly moving across the road, left to right, was not interested in me.
Well that’s what this footage in the song had captured. And at the end, calm again, night time, typical northern Oz too, though I suppose this one was America. Reflected though … that cyclone had been between me and the highway. I was er … cut off. Just the birds, the crocs and me.
11. Just so out of it here
Bad mistake being on top of the jobs around midday, danger of crashing, sleeping but sleeping is fraught (not “with”, just fraught).
Awoke about 1800, checked inbox, blog and X and was right in the middle of battles Royal … Reform lambasting Restore, Nige saying that the verdict releasing the two lowlifes was two tier, so he’s referred for prosecution … utter madness on the part of the govt and minions.
Things in America not so hot with Donny and Pammy doing very weird things … IYE’s on top of that … then Steve and Andy here:
We’re certainly in bizarre times and the old bod’s a bit achy here, need another sleep, it’s all catching up.
Back over here and the young Polish guy murdered by the Sikh … rumours that three policewomen attended, not men, now on leave out of the country maybe, many railing against the whole story, Hants plod saying they were sorry, the Sikh lied to them … bizarre.
Hysterical people all over X just now, got out and went to YouTube recommendeds … this continues in Fri 12.
Was exploring 60s films and I feel there are leaner pickings on YT with the 60s. We’re starting to get into varying tastes … horror is becoming more openly so, esp. in the second half of the decade, there seems far more pap, there’s just something creeping in which I’m not that interested in, though others adore it e.g. The Blob. There’s also something twee, which in the 1935 to maybe 1955 period was more stylish, e.g. in dress. I don’t know exactly.
Anyway, this one seemed a routine flick but with an added extra … Merry Anders. Yes please.
”On Wednesday, May 27, 2026, the day after the plutonium announcement, Axios reported that Pam Bondi had been appointed to the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology. No White House press conference. No press release. No formal announcement. The news came out as a leaked scoop on the afternoon after a three-day weekend during a Senate primary news storm.….”
The only IYE Bondi reference I can find is here:
“Bondi will serve on the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, commonly known as PCAST, according to a White House official.”
Experience for the role besides none? Also:
She’s going to testify behind closed doors re the stuff she got up to whilst AG either today or tomorrow. She was subpoenaed in April but was a no-show.
8. The Filioque Clause
Easy for me, in 2026, to be dismissive of the seemingly stupid reason Constantinople fell but do watch the chap’s video I’ve posted twice now. Also, remember it’s pronounced fil ee o kwee.
The eastern church, in the centuries after Jesus died, was resurrected, ascended and so on certainly had Patriarchs but the whole thrust was more spiritual … that is, the idea was for the human head to move to the heart … to come to a relationship with God in a personal way. The closest we can get to that outside orthodoxy is for us, as protestants, to also have a personal relationship … that’s a very eastern concept, very mystical.
The western church though took a different path in Rome and they insisted, the head honchos, that ONLY their interpretation was right and the only human with any authority to say what was what was the Chicago hood there now. Doesn’t matter how rotten the Alexander Borgia is at the time … a politburo elected or parachuted human, even a raving communist, somehow was spiritually divine. Think you know what I think of that.
And not just me either but the eastern patriarchs too. And that sun god thing surrounding the cross, and the worshipping of Mary … yes yes, I know they say “venerating”.
So, the only reason I mention it is that west and east had quite different Christianity. They’d agreed on the Trinity all right, no issue there, plus a basic hierarchical order of Father first, obviously, then Son, and then the HS, who or which resides within the human who “buys the ticket”.
But now the events of 1054 took place (there’s a later split in 1378, plus Constantinople fell on May 29th, 1453). In the 1054, the western pope added that the HS proceeded from both the Father and the Son … it was just a correction in western minds, a minor matter.
Not so to the east … to them, it was the most egregious heresy. To the east, the spirit proceeded from the Father, via Son and into the human heart.
So the entire Christian church split up, in The Great Schism. Of course it was not only over that wording … it was the cavalier Bishop of Rome who was the issue. To the east, the bishop of Rome was certainly a Patriarch, but just one of many …
… and when Mehmet the infidel broke through and took Constantinople on this day back then, he immediately went to one of the Patriarchs and appointed him as such. He did not snuff out Christianity in Constantinople … not yet … despite turning the Hagia Sofia into a mosque.
Now, the only “Christianity” remaining was that of the Bishop of Rome, with Mehmet controlling the east. Some might say that satan finally had his victory until the protestant rebellions.
So today is certainly an auspicious day concerning a faith which began in AD 33 or thereabouts and which had gone through horrendous vicissitudes over the journey.
7. Quora again
Bearing in mind that Quora is one of those normie, old readers’ digest type magazines, only online … it’s not particularly leftwing in itself but it certainly has mainly political normies writing and thus is prone to believing in wokery such as the African origins of Europeans etc.
This extract below is by one Steve Rapaport, whose surname is Jewish. Relevant or not? Who knows?
“Many places end with the syllable “stan” such as Pakistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. Is there a meaning to this use of the suffix “stan”?
Oh, is there ever a meaning. It’s Proto-Indo-European and it’s everywhere.
The -stan here is from Persian -stan ‘place’, extended to ‘place of’ or ‘land of’. But it’s a Proto-Indo-European verb and noun, and it traces back 6000 years like this:
Thanks, Wiktionary. But it’s not just Persian that got this word. As you’ve noticed, स्थान sthān also means “place” in Hindi (originally Sanskrit) and most related Indic languages, hence “Pakistan”.All from Proto-Indo-Iranian, a daughter of Proto-Indo-European.
You use stan every day yourself, since Proto-Indo-European is also the root of all Germanic languages (including English), all Italic languages (including Latin and its descendants Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese,), and all Slavic and all Baltic and Hellenic and Celtic languages.
The original Proto-Indo-European is *steh₂-(“to stand”). The meaning remains similar in many descendant languages:
Proto-Italic*staēō becomes Lat. stāre, ‘to stand, to remain, to be at, to currently feel’. BecomesIt. stare, Rom. sta, Sp., Pt. estar, MFr. ester. Borrowedfrom MFr. into English as “to stay”. Ifyou’ve asked someone in Spanish “¿como está?”, you have used this.
Proto-Germanic *stāną just means “to stand” and that’s how it, um, stands in pretty much all the Germanic languages:
But it goes further afield too. In Greek a bus stand or station is σταθμός• (stathmós).
stan shows up in Russian стан (stan) meaning “settlement” or “semi-permanent camp” and Welsh sawdl (heel) with changed but recognizable meanings.
The related words state, status, station, and stadium have all bounced around Indo-European languages for a few millennia too.
You’ve found one of the great old words that hasn’t changed much since the invention of the wheel! Congratulations!
(P.S. Thanks to the commenters who pointed out my ignorance of the Hindi version. I added that in. Also, it looks like the Turkic languages borrowed it from the Persian, hence Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, etc.)”
6. Procedural matter for HQ again
I tend to see NOWP drops as requiring signposting here but also, increasingly, youtubes and rumbles seem to go there … that seems fine to me. What of comments at HQ though? It’s a much better sidebar list here because WP are not skewing it, as they do over there. Plus over there, I just click on the post and see what’s dropped.
Here at HQ, I have an advantage which readers don’t … I get to see the overview, e.g. these below from Steve and IYE:
Makes it so much easier to check that I have it covered. To compensate, to give readers a better chance to bookmark, the commenter list is elongated … that is, readers have about two days to bookmark something they like before it drops off the page below.
Now, what about not bookmarking elsewhere at all? Why not just let the comments be their own archive here? Reasoning is that HQ is our most secure archive as long as I myself am functioning. If something happens to me, HQ does not die in itself, not in the least, it is in backup mode and can be started up anywhere else in the UK where MMutR cares to plug it in.
Were it to be the case that something happens to me, NOWP and UHC-WP are still open for business … they’re public. So is Jstack and for awhile … OoL … fifteen months actually. But HQ here is tied to my being here at this abode and functioning. It all depends what MMutR does with the server. Being an uber-techy, he is more than capable of getting HQ rolling again.
But do bear in mind that though your drops here are safe enough whilst I function … your drops at NOWP or UHC-WP are only going to disappear if WP get it into their heads to do a Ggl Blgr stunt. I can’t see that happening in the short term.
Is there any … um … er … any chance of me … er … having something personal happen? Well, health report … seems ok just now, about to down the daily meds. 😎
… and its crucial implications for two Abrahamic religions.
How could a man, purportedly a Christian, have never heard of or at least noted this Psalm when it is central to Jesus’s divinity, referred to by Him a few times and has put Jews and/or Israelis into deep denial? Yet there it is … I never knew until yesterday.
For those reading through that summary and still not making head nor tail of it … my understanding is that it was definitely written by David … but about whom? We do get into the quality of translations from the Hebrew, as well as any later alterations, as in the Filioque Clause.
Among the thousands commenting on the Psalm, three stand out for me … Jesus Himself, Charles Spurgeon and CS Lewis, arguing that it’s beyond doubt that it presages Jesus. The Jews? They just say nah, it looks back at Abraham. They must say that of course.
It has certainly deeply affected high church rituals and music down through the ages and so, this morning, I move outside my comfort zone and actually play one version of it, musically:
