Tuesday [1 to 3]

(0040) Strange days and nights … see Some Sort of OpEd below. (0121)

 

3. Partly related to my comment in Tue 2

… is that the “glitches” can be partly us ourselves. At 58, my mother said that we are our health and memory. Oh so true but we could also say we’re our spiritual … and therefore mental … health, our being at ease with ourselves … which can come back to our physical health … which can come back to gremlins brought on by the heart attack revisiting. I find immediate resort to bodily warmth, esp lower legs and walkupons, plus this vital hoody when sleeping … such seemingly minor things can completely alter the picture … last few days, I ain’t been all that well, just as many out there have not.

At a time in society when conspiracy theory turns out to be largely WITH foundation, not fantasy … I’m suspecting they’re tampering with heart meds, inserting deathjab nasties … because I’m certainly feeling blockage around head and neck. Might be age, cold, winter … could be … I do know that sleep, exercise, liquid, nutrition (cutting out the junk) does ameliorate it.

That’s just me … then there’s you, reader, and your particular situation … where you live, draughts, poison in the air, diseases brought by “guests”, Chris Rea’s “perverted fear of violence” … to me, he was telling porkies about the origins and meaning of that song … it may well have started at the M25 but the themes are quite apocalyptic all the same.

Then we get to DJT, MAGA and the betes noires Thune and Cornyn … what if they’re actually right? Not suggesting they are but there IS this thing about separation of powers. What undercuts that in the Senate is that Senators are beholden to funders and other “influencers”. 🍿🍿🍿

2. IYE

…and the DJT statement on Elise Stefanik (at 874).

JH: (Housekeeping) This block system is jumping around all over the place … you the reader don’t see most of it, as I struggle to get it back to some semblance of normality. You the reader strike it now and then in commenting, which annoys me because I’m used to glitches and gremlins, plus all the other cyber issues, but a reader has a right to expect he/she can just come in and comment.

Regulars know that that’s furthest from Them’s minds … the notion of free comment … and it could be any part of the chain coming in and “glitching” … it could even be Micron’s myrmidons. We press on.

Monday [10 and 11]

(1207) Afternoon all. (1258)

 

11. Some sort of op ed

Did the reveille, two minutes silence, rouse thing around 11 a.m., parents’ photos out, candle, usual thing.

Was thinking though … just how long do we commemorate all these things? We commemorated Agincourt not long ago, you’ll recall. 1066? Looking at my parents today, would have been over 100 … I’m thinking it needs to be till the day I die … it just seems meet and right.

What would they think of their son today? Was in tight corners many times, was even on route marches, but never in a Uke type meat grinder. I’ve been through two recessions … one in Russia in 98, one here in 08, only twice unemployed … nothing like the hell my parents saw … they did all they could to spare me hell on earth.

Anyway, we have sunshine today, you have a good one now. Washing to hang out. Am concerned about quite a few friends, more than usual … both men and women but esp. women … the gals seem to be going down with the lurgy sommit awful … Julia not wel, I can name many others, the darlings.

Warmth at all times, liquids, nutrients, keep the body moving, heaps of sleep … you know the score. Prayers for others, them for you.

10. Housekeeping at NOWP and here

Going to separate “Housekeeping”, which is cyber and blog things, from Some Sort of Op Ed, which might be reflections on life or the past week.

Housekeeping

Remember OoL is ggl, these things are happening more and more … some laddies and lasses have issues on other platforms. Way too complicated to sort out exactly where the glitches are. In some cases, it’s the platform protecting me … I’m on normal security, not high.

At HQ here, I’m getting spam but not a lot … Akismet’s doing its thang. All up, compared to many colleagues, acquaintances, friends, we’re doing all right. Watch trigger words though … it is a factor.

Monday [2 to 6]

(0735) Morning all. Commemorations … I have one more, at 11 a.m. for Armistice Day … Mon 2 will be about that in the post around 1040 this morning, not just yet. Just out of second sleep here. (0914)

4. The mendacious and risible bbc

Why we’re so wonderful – the BBC’s love letter to itself

First out of the blocks was a promotional piece which has been running on BBC television for a couple of weeks. I have seen it a few times and it bears all the hallmarks associated with the BBC – smug, self-regarding, pompous and disingenuous.

Fronted by Clive Myrie and featuring well-known presenters such as Fiona Bruce and Orla Guerin, it imparts to the audience the extraordinary lengths to which BBC journalists go to obtain The Truth and fight the threat of disinformation. 

While the 90-second puff piece is risible, it is the accompanying press release that encapsulates the hermetically sealed bubble that these people work in. For aficionados of left-wing cant, a hotly contested field, the BBC press office has excelled in smothering itself in ectoplasmic quantities of claptrap.

Armistice Day [1]

(0325)

 

The parlous state of US federal politics right now

A young person said the other day that she “wasn’t interested in politics”. My reply was that it’s interested in you remaining uninterested. Yet you have the vote.

Trump being able to put his policies through is crucial, if only because the people endorsed them in the main … despite the documented cheating so far (fraud) … overwhelmingly endorsed in fact … but also because those policies directly affect other countries/blocs such as the Ukraine and the EU, Mexico. Plus Britain through Labour’s policies becoming unworkable … the zeitgeist shifting.

At every step, there are traitors entrenched who can stymie the overwhelmingly elected President. And in fact, it starts Wednesday.

Apart from the Presidency, there’s a battle in SCOTUS, where Sotomayor is being pressured to retire (they have life tenure) and she is refusing to budge. This prevents demonrats putting in Cortez. If she stays long enough for Trump to take office, then dies, GOP can make it 7-2, not that that helps in all ways … Roberts … nuff on that for now.

The House looks like going narrowly GOP, which means they at least control the purse strings.

The Senate is the focus till Wednesday and beyond. On Wednesday, for those not following closely, the Senate Leader is voted for by all GOP Senators. Traitor McConnell, arch-RINO who hates Trump and is beholden to special interests has put up three names, two who are just as bad … anti Trumpers and RINOs … one, Cornyn, has just deleted his anti-Trump tweets. They’re snakes, these three.

The sole pro-MAGA on the list is Rick Scott. If he secures the leadership, he’s non-RINO, anti-demonrat and so … if Trump brings in the program, the House funds it and it goes to the Senate, it pretty much goes through. Which affects, not just the USA but those parts of the world mentioned. Directly.

Publius (on X) has uncovered this:


Remember … Thune and Cornyn are bad lots, Scott is the pro-MAGA. Many Xers have published Senator phone numbers to phone and demand Scott. Good but two dismaying things.

Demonrat Schumer is refusing new GOP McCormick permission to attend the Orientation Day, which apparently is pretty vital, such that Mike Lee, MAGA and good guy, has offered to personally escort McCormick into the Senate.

However, check the list above on whom he plans to vote for. Also check Cruz from Texas. Think you’re seeing the dismaying treason just below the surface, preventing Presidents “presidenting”, unless demonrat, in which case they are all in lockstep and controlled by Obama.
