12. ROLF’s Now and Next
”Last week Labour lost nearly 200 seats in the council elections. The PM said it meant he should go ‘further and faster’ because he was ‘acutely aware that people aren’t yet feeling the benefits.’
Another one with a tin ear is House Leader Lucy Powell, who exploded on-air when a Reform spokesman dared to raise the subject of rape gangs two days after Kemi Badenoch completely failed to nail Sir Keir in PMQs on the need for a national enquiry.”

11. Quora does have its occasional uses
John Leavy: Why did George Harrison sue Ringo Starr?
I’m NOT an expert on this issue, but here’s the little I know. A more knowledgeable person will undoubtedly give a fuller answer and correct me if I get details wrong.
In the Seventies, Ringo was planning to record one of George’s songs, a tune called “I’ll Still Love You.” George was supposed to come to the studio and play on that track. For some reason, George didn’t show and Ringo recorded the song without him.
Details are hazy, but George was angry and didn’t like Ringo’s recording. He threatened to sue, but eventually they smoothed things over without going to court.
That’s all I know.

3. Roobeedoo
Roob’s not all that accessible by just looking at her graphics … it’s after being in conversation that the meaning starts appearing:
Roob: James, did you listen to the Tom Luongo/EM Burlingame podcast (hidden under the Grok image)? This, from Brian Cates, fits right in…
https://x.com/drawandstrike/status/1920503724859912456
Me: Posting and reading, Roobee, podcasts are time luxury. Meanwhile: ”The globalist cult would have never allowed this deal to go forward if they still had control of the UK. This is how you know the strings have been cut.”
Roob: Okay, briefly:
17 million. Q.
Me: Did a post on the Venetians … well known influence here. I’ll post your summary tomorrow.
Roob: But post the link to the podcast. In fact post the trilogy to understand what the game plan is:

Roob is/was close to Leggy, a most able lass and a great ferreter … our job here is to expose readers to the max “sound” angles possible (takes a long time to establish, needs good intel people) … they’re not always easily readable and accessible, it demands time and time is our most precious commodity just now.
Trouble is … we need to allocate much of our time to reading … and archiving snippets for ourselves … we must have a good archive system, relatively safe from attack. Naturally, I’ll run Unherdables for alap but please do see that I might be snuffed out of it sooner than later … thus your own ferreting then depends on your own archiving system.

(1616) Almost evening, all. (2006) I’m off to zonkland, mateys and mate-ettes.
17. DAD at 1043 on Léon Quatorze
Robert Francis Prevost, nommé Léon XIV, is the new Pope as Leo XIV.
JH: As bad as the last, maybe worse … also see IYE in comments:
IYE’s link:
”Individuals in the Chiclayo diocese would later accuse Prevost of failing in 2022 to open an investigation into their accusations of abuse against two priests. The diocese vigorously denied the claim when the cases made international headlines in 2024.”

10. Steve on carriers
As far as I know there are two US Carrier Strike Groups in the Middle East, one in the Red Sea (USS Harry S. Truman) the other in the Eastern Mediterranean (USS Carl Vinson). The latter has the F-35C. With regard to F/A-18 losses we should cut them some slack as they are in a zone of conflict and with an upward tempo things do go wrong. A huge ship like a carrier, executing hard-a-port to avoid an incoming missile? Well if it’s loose it’ll roll. The second where there was a problem with the arresting hook could be a simple malfunction due to extended use – it was a night landing but I don’t know it that had any bearing. The Yanks had been bombing the shit out of the Houthis for six straight days and nights. Here’s some vid:

The film was made in 1940, about events in 1939, and the gaffe is that Churchill was not yet PM.

8. Putting two items, one after the other
… and there seems something quite wrong going on:
If you put those together with Gabbard’s triangle sign, also Bondi’s, one does start to wonder who’s vetting these people? If not DJT, then who? I’d say Wiles.

… but also some very bad, e.g. Rand Paul, Speaker Johnson … and Massie:
6. Quotes at UHC
The bizarre fact is … I could not have a better situation for blogging right now … at the lower end of the income spectrum, nevertheless I eat well, the site HQ is a dream to compose from, with oodles of disk space, plus good security, my abode is organised, there are dear friends, there is home security.
Yet this summer, starting June and possibly stretching through to the following February, there is every chance … real chance, not speculation … that I am about to lose all, including income and home, freefalling into the abyss as I did in 2008, 2003, 1998, 1993, 1988, 1983, 1978 and so on backwards … 2025 breaking the numerical pattern … but always in summer, early or late.
The only reason for mentioning it is that readers visit on the understanding that HQ is quite likely to suddenly cease, just as N.O. ceased last July … lock, stock and barrel. This time though with forewarning. Therefore, anything you wish to salvage from HQ, something you value and need a copy of … you’d best start doing that now.
My cunning plan is always to keep blogging one way or another and the best chance would seem to be UHC, the WP version as the new flagship … though the severe 1Gb disk space restriction, as against about 2Tb at HQ, changes the whole way I’d blog.
For a start, I’d be sending from phone, not from the ipads, a major killer for readers. It would be almost entirely text, mainly headlines, with some youtubes. There might be a few weeks when I’ll be completely incommunicado during the changeover, but I’ve every intention of getting around that silence, finding a way through.
Unless govt start doing what they are doing to increasing numbers … they’re the wildcard.
