There’s a definite phenomenon, both from my teaching of all growed-up gals, plus my dealings with women, where the girl gets to a point where she wants to stay a girl awhile but events carry her beyond it … then, if a woman, if she gets half a chance to be a girl again … wwweeelllll.

More than a dozen Congressional Medal of Honor recipients endorsed former President Trump in the 2024 presidential race.
“We, 15 recipients of the Medal of Honor, having served this great nation in wars, support and endorse Donald J. Trump for President of the United States,” they wrote.
The recipients include those who have served in Iraq, Afghanistan and Vietnam.
The link for that, plus on the medal history itself, is at 841.
In searching around for lady singers, diferent genres came up and it became apparent … firstly that it probably wasn’t the other chaps’s cuppa cha, esp. if bluesy … but a few genres I strayed into were certainly not mine.
Blended Big Band of the 40s was worst … where individuality was dead and it was all massed band cacophony. I know Glenn Miller did feature cornet solos etc. but I want to hear all the instruments one by one please, as in the 20s. All right, no can do? Then give me a powerful chantoosie belting it out but please, please, focus on the individual, not on the blended soup sound or the band leader … I’m not interested in him, except in his solo he plays during the song.
(1344) Just checking the timepiece, hmmmm => this post, then around 1545 some jazz. Thinking out loud, it might be chantoosies today, shall see. Last politpost maybe 1715, into the evening. (1459)
12. Privacy
I’ve two mobiles, two ipads, one active laptop and some resting ones. On the mobile phones are address books … anyone not on that list does not get through. The govt can get through whenever they wish and they do so, often, as I have a good personal relationship there but a different one on Starmer and Co. My utilities can also text and I call back.
The X and Gab accounts are not closed but there are maybe three dozen blocked. They’re happy venues for me, X and Gab, as the riff-raff gets blocked and only the good remain. As for nourishing unherdables, as I’ve come to call it … regulars know that readers can always become regular and are welcome and protected under our umbrella but Woke nutterati are not … so don’t bother.
Juan asks where to leave comments? Wherever he likes. The very fact it’s up means he’s persona-grata to start with. And that’s how things run around here.
Last from me on privacy is to ask … why do people answer their phones or click on net invitations? Anything I’m invited to click on, I don’t, never ever, even if I may have been interested … there’s this thing, you see, called “they see you coming”. My phones are currently off, recharging.

9. TPA weekly thingy
“With the budget less than three weeks away, Westminster is awash with speculation of what might be included. Having abandoned the widow’s tax for now, and bound by their election pledge not to hike taxes on workers, specifically income tax, national insurance, or VAT, the chancellor is scrambling around to find ways to pay for her spending plans.
The thing about national insurance though is the two elements: employee and employer contributions. We’re all very familiar with employee national insurance – I certainly grumble each time I see it on my payslip – but people often don’t think about the employer contributions. For every employee on the books, a percentage of their salary is paid by the company to the treasury.
So naturally, when the topic came up at Prime Minister’s Questions this week, our ears pricked up. Leader of the opposition, Rishi Sunak, asked Keir Starmer whether he would rule out hiking employer contributions at the budget. When he failed to do so, alarm bells were ringing in the TPA office. In a flash, John O’Connell, our chief executive, made it absolutely clear what Starmer should do: “The prime minister should stop searching for a cheap way out of his manifesto promise and rule out this rise for good.”
Why does this matter? Well, employer’s national insurance contributions are, quite simply, a tax on jobs. Every time a company hires someone, they have to factor in this cost. Everytime they want to give someone a pay rise, they have to factor in this cost. Higher employer contributions mean lower wages and fewer jobs. In the same way tobacco taxes are meant to put people off smoking, job taxes like this put businesses off hiring people.
Speaking of the national debt, a core part of our mission is to make sure politicians and taxpayers alike are informed about the issues, which is why we’ve published our latest factbook, The Indebted Kingdom. A compact, easy to understand explainer of the national debt and the interest we’re paying, this factbook provides all the information you need to hold those who spend your money to account.

8. At some stage, even Belinda must wake up
… but how? This island has already fallen to the enemy abroad at the ruling level and in every key position down through society, whilst those understanding that that has happened, that there’s an alien army of fighting males awaiting the word from above, still don’t all realise the full implications:
This is a murderous army, nothing whatever like what sheltered Brits and Americans since Boomers have enjoyed … intellectually, maybe, until the texts were rewritten by the locust army … but truly, not being insulting or anything but the sudden rush of collapse is going to take most by surprise.
The ruling class are satanic, no other word for it, mystic, placing great store by numbers … IYE has already posted on it many times, plus symbolism:
As I myself have said many times … while it’s important whether there even is such a thing as satanic or not … that’s nowhere near as important in the immediate, the short term, than the simple truth that Them believe in it devotedly … and there’s the rub. This Net Zero thing, for example, is only partly climate … it’s mainly demonic destruction … the ultimate goal STILL not understood by the unread, the determinedly secular (man is his own god) and those doing the three wise monkey thing.
Them will crash things when they feel they’re ready.
Oh … Belinda?
Belinda, within and controlling the Tories are the very people part of the Troubles, fomenting them. Stirring up Europe as well. Some of these monsters are right here beside us. They care about “country”?
(1023) Morning all … just awoke and got up after a second sleep, after post Sun 1 to 5. We all have different expectations of Sunday … many check around the sites to see what news there is … some of us reporting the news simply need to snooze … the fake MSM have it over us that way. Back in harness for awhile, there’ll be a filum break in the afternoon (to snooze, to snooze again). (1219)
7. Teach your children well
To my mind, Nolla Girl below is half right … insofaras females today are pressured from childhood to be THOTs and also to become harpies, in other words, useless humans with no code beyond “me me me” … and they in turn mother children, sacrificing their children on the altar of feminazism … whilst this first half might be right:
… and there are countless youtubes on it … also reflected in this quote:
… she also touches on the issue of the male, now long feminazised into the SNAG (sensitive new age guy) … the type so in touch with his feelings, a demi-woman, this anti-toxic-masculine shaped by new-women into “safe” partners … in other words … absolutely bloody useless for forming and protecting family plus the code itself which they should live by.
And not only are they low testosterone and useless in a protective role, a procreative role … they also become vicious little bstds with mincing voices … you see them in Walz, at protest demonstrations, hitting women with bicycle chains … hardly Crocodile Dundee or Bear Grylls but those are just the outward trappings … many older conservative types, men plus women, are not necessarily speaking of that but more of moral courage … the courage to do what’s needed and to see it through. The type his children can look up to.
Now, unless Gen Z and Alpha turn it around … and there are some signs that some are … then western society is doomed. Because there are invaders already flooding in … murderous bstds, the emptied jails of the world … and they will go through today’s western males like knives through butter.
But first, the males of the post-Woke world need to reject the garbage taught in schools, resist the invaders and stand up for what’s right … and Wokery is anything but right. Plus dipping into easily available THOTs, siring random brats who grow up worse.
Will the man with the old code rediscovered be vilified? Set upon? Of course … good thing too … it’s called doing right.
And not like the Pink Floyd teacher in The Wall nor the Starmer, a similar type who thinks discipline is beating someone with a big stick. Task is … how to make men into proper men again? Especially with those of the old ways dying off, helped across that river by murderous govts and medicos.
6. Kathy has sent out her Sunday wisdom
… here’s a bit of it:
Ray Lewis (the late leader of Eastside Young Leaders Academy, who I wrote about here) was right when he warned years ago how adults had handed over their power to children. Parents have certainly been encouraged to relinquish responsibility for them.
Laura flagged up the issue that no else addresses last week. How many dead children do we have and will we have in return for adult sexual liberation? No one is counting. And is anyone counting how many dead or damaged children we get in return for a ‘mother’s right to work’ (on the heedless assumption that outsourcing your baby for ten hours a day to a nursery ‘baby room’ is safe or kind)? People really need to start thinking about this. It is not unconnected with today’s stabbing culture.
No wonder my ears pricked up when I read Kemi Badenoch’s glib solution this week to couples unable to afford children. Cheaper child care. By deregulating it. More Tiny Toes nurseries, then?
I’m glad it’s a woman writing that as, coming from me, it would carry far less weight. Do I hide behind the skirts of women on women’s matters? You can bet I do … unless I need to add something the women are missing … the conservative women usually have it covered.
Well all right, I shall add something … McMartin preschool case in the 80s in the States … which set off a whole chain of CIA rendition, Omaha Airforce base, San Diego, trauma abuse of people, inc. children … you know the rest. Gary Webb. And over this way … Channel Islands care orphanages, Dolphin Square, summer holiday … it’s an epidemic. Nuff for now.
a) French anti-terror prosecutors said Saturday that an Afghan national is being investigated on terrorism charges over a suspected attack plot.
b) In an interview with Dauphiné Libéré and Vaucluse Matin, the presenter of “Secrets d’histoire” claims to have “the feeling of living in a country in ruins”.
c) A major new initiative has been launched in the UK that seeks to radically transform the food supply by replacing traditional meat and dairy products with “planet-friendly alternatives” such as insects.

(1506) Still reserving judgment on much of this but there are some very strange things going up. I took a dive into Badlands and the name most prominent was John Herold … which was the least opaque name there. Went to X, found his a/c and he’s pro-Harris Democrat. As well as his own posts, he retweets other Trump hating Demrats as well.
Just because much about DJT might be true, it certainly doesn’t excuse Biden or Harris and it certainly doesn’t forgive Obama and Holder for Fast and Furious.
The other pundits such as Burning Bright and Just Human are opaque … is one of them John Herold? Can’t see how, as Burning Bright has:
The meat of Trump’s proposed plan relies on placing tariffs on foreign goods and drastically reducing taxes on domestic production.
Here’s the thing getting lost in the noise: Trump is going to REWARD FOREIGN MANUFACTURERS for making foreign goods IN AMERICA. This brilliant bit of game theory is global in scale, and means foreign brands are literally going to be competing to hire American workers and build American manufacturing infrastructure.
He’s also going to force them to use American materials, such as American steel. It’s an infinite economic feedback loop. Foreign countries are going to fund the American Restoration. Almost like it was planned this way.
Excuse me but is that a bad thing? Explain that to me. Moving onto DAD and Ezra Levant, what’s with the apologetic “I’m not a religious Jew” thing and then he proceeds to do a heavily pro-Jewish mini-speech? As I wrote above, this is not a zero-sum game and as you get Talmudish and Kabbahlistic, that is very anti-Christian … so what gives? The thing we’re all agreed on though is once invite in the Ottomans and your society is dead … Ezra was not wrong on that bit.
I’m not taking any of it down because it’s your decision in the end … but it sure is confused and all over the place. Where am I, personally? For British workers in Britain, US workers in the USA, French workers across the ditch etc. etc.
Last week, I found myself in a perfectly ordinary pub, trying to kill half an hour before a meeting and quench my thirst. I nearly choked when the barmaid told me my diet cola would cost £4.60. I could have purchased eight cans at Asda for less than that. But alas, there I was, in the gilded streets of Belgravia, not a budget-friendly supermarket.
I calculated that each sip was setting me back 23 pence. That’s reasonable for liquid gold or unicorn tears, but not cola. I glowered. It’s hard to enjoy your drink under such circumstances.
Ties in of course with the Cityunslicker post at OoL and in my own food buying … though I don’t often look for bargains because I eat so little, preferring to have some quality while I still can … nevertheless, I’ve noticed two things on top of the prices …
One is the sloppiness in choosing and packing at the other end, together with the poor IT involved, which we’re paying money for, along with the lower quality of even premium items, stuffed with additives, even on staples, e.g. milk.
The other is that the lines of products, the ranges, are steadily reducing. For a major supermarket not to stock 500ml or pints is pretty poor, running out of full cream is too … just basic things are not there. And not as a one off or out of season either … this is increasing.
Now what’s happening? Supply lines? Why? Just Euro-Brit road and boat issues? Or govt agency? Madness over 500ml causing global warming or excess carbon? Too much plastic?
And just on semi-skimmed which people warn us not to buy … I added it to the cup last evening (the new lot) and it was diluted … not just semi-skimmed but watered down … so you thought, on the shelves presumably, that you were getting more for less. Actually, we’re getting less for the same cost, thereabouts. Grrrrrrrr.
A very peculiar harvest … Isilme’s harvest report Friday evening
Yesterday I started to gather the runner beans. They’d been neglected whilst we had all the visitors and I knew most of them would be too tough to eat, so I really gathered them to get the actual beans out.
Big bowl of runner beans
I didn’t quite realise how many beans we had. A handful of them are still okay to cook and we ate some last night with our chicken in white wine sauce.
All my tomatoes
In the end, I collected a large washing-up bowl full of beans – and haven’t even touched those in the front garden (which are only a few, actually, so it won’t make much difference). We’ll watch a film tonight and I’ll de-pod the beans instead of knitting socks.
As we had a frost last night, I thought it best to bring in all the tomatoes today. Sadly, most of them are still green. However, from past experience I know some of them will ripen. I will likely bottle those if we don’t eat them first – it depends on how many ripen at a time! If I do end up with a lot of green ones, I shall have to find something to do with them.
Pink flowering strawberries
I made green tomato chutney one year. I still have some of it hanging around. I wasn’t that keen on it to be honest. I have heard of fried green tomatoes (there was a film of that title….) but I’m thinking that the bigger ones will ripen okay and the cherry ones probably won’t. Green tomato fritters? I’ll have to try something….
(I have sent a photo of all the tomatoes. That’s my Beloved’s brewing bucket in the background. I think there’s cider in there. Well, it will be cider eventually. However, since we’re not great cider drinkers, he will most likely turn it into cider vinegar. Good stuff!)
Strawberries and thyme
As I was going around the garden, I noticed the strawberries were still going strong. The pink-flowering strawberries are blooming again. And I noticed a strawberry plant in amongst the thyme (don’t know how it got there) that has produced strawberries, but they might not ripen.
I spotted a ripe one in one of the other pots. Sadly, the woodlice found it first and although it looked good at first, underneath it was eaten away. Sob! That was MY strawberry!
Strawberry … ripe
The flowers in our chimney are still looking good, and the pots in the driveway are colourful, but most of the other flowers are gone. Apart from the marigolds and, weirdly, the nasturtiums which have flowered all over again. You can eat nasturtiums…
Flowers in chimney
We still have apples to bring in and will maybe do that next week. That is, if the jackdaws leave us any. They’re currently fighting over the Bramleys. But they can’t settle on the eating apple tree as it’s too difficult for them and all the branches are bent over due to the number of apples. It’s a pippin of some kind (not Cox’s) and the apples are gorgeous.
Flowers in the driveway
The raspberries are still bearing fruit, but they are usually fruiting until November anyway. But it’s odd about the strawberries. And all those tomatoes that have taken so long to develop! It’s crazy!
