Live just now and The Donald is furious with Israel and Iran – but mostly with Netanyahu for breaking the ceasefire. He was about to board Marine One for Andrews AFB when he said to reporters “they’ve been fighting so hard for so long they don’t know what the f*ck they’re doing”.
He’ll be on the phone to Bibi as he journeys to the Netherlands and the expletives will no doubt continue to flow. He’s been stabbed in back once too often and the IDF need to turn those jets around and return to base.
Newsflash: Trump on Airforce One, on the phone to Netanyahu and he’s stopped the bombing sortie – they’ll do a fly-by and just waves their wings, apparently, and return to base forthwith.
a) Feb 2023. Around 200 people protested the presence of a camp in the woods bordering the town. They drove away the illegally settled families before entering in large numbers and beginning to destroy makeshift shacks themselves.
June 2025. “The role of the court is not to say whether what happened was right or wrong, but to say whether the acts for which the defendants were prosecuted were proven, and that is not the case,” declared the presiding judge in her deliberations.
Dominique Kudla, the independent mayor of Villeron, and five of his constituents were tried this Monday before the Pontoise Criminal Court. They had driven away Roma families and destroyed their shacks in February 2023.
b) Dressed in white jumpsuits and with their faces covered, some 150 activists entered the Tournai-based company’s warehouses early in the morning. Their action was part of the “Stop Arming Israel” campaign, through which they demand compliance with the military embargo against Israel and the adoption of sanctions by Belgium against the Jewish state.
The damage is estimated at approximately one million euros. OIP specializes in the maintenance, repair, and modernization of military vehicles.
Unfortunately the armored vehicles that were damaged were for the Ukrainian army.
Interesting how that came through. I saw the blockage … it wanted to expand but it seems the platform allows some to expand, not others. The issue was “c and d” which needed some redacting to get around.
Now, not going to respond to our mystery correspondent for security reasons but be it known … it’s been an entertaining exercise for sure. 😎
Right … well, we’ve a situation again and readers were asked over and over to euphemise at NOWP, to code certain core words, otherwise it would cause them trouble later, plus cause me. Did I make the law in Westminster? It was our Beloved Sausage, n’est-ce-pas?
There are patterns we look for … with DAD, the drop comes into NOWP between about 0500 and 0545 as a rule … it’s rare when it doesn’t, my first thought was DAD’s health. Because I was posting other things, I thought to come back later … then DAD 2 pinged … aha!
Went to 1085 … he seems to have posted DAD 1 earlier, possibly around the usual time. There was a notice about it in DAD’s text. So I went looking:
So … nothing in spam, nothing in trash, let’s see over in my mailbox. Nope, nothing had come in at all from DAD … oh hang on, DAD 2 just arrived. Ok … check spam and bin. Two in spam, both DAD, with a notice for me:
Uh huh. 1075 and 1077 they were. Yet afa I know, both those were up at NOWP. So … why did DAD 1 today not show any sign of even being received? Well, we could go all day with this … Macron and whoever the PTB in France are, there’s British law, outlawing any reference to a certain cult, on pain of being swatted and prosecuted, there is the US WP itself, Apple, BT, ipad … any number of gremlins could have caused it.
Thing was … no sign whatever, esp. not in my inbox, which is quite significant. Now … it’s not just a one-off … we’re allocated naughty points, sort of like on UK roads … not only the comment author but the admin, over time. Anyone remember July 26th at N.O.? It would be very, very nice if NOWP did not go down, as there are sites and codes running off it.
Therefore I’m going to have to censor … for reasons which are obvious. Use some other term than those anathema to the PTB, or I’ll have to change it in the text myself (euphemise). What concerns me more is that the comment did not appear at all … in other words, pre-crime removal, as in Minority Report.
There’s one more thing … any current post on NOWP, I can’t access … not officially … they’ve changed the theme permissions. All right … here’s bowdlerised DAD 2 (no sign anywhere of DAD 1):
”French justice learned, based on information from British authorities, that this 39-year-old man, a British citizen who played the role of the groom supposed to marry a child, “has been convicted in the past, notably for sexual offenses against minors,” Meaux prosecutor Jean-Baptiste Bladier stated in a press release.”
Hmmmm … apart from the word Uke, I see nothing else in there which they could object to, hence it went through in both places. I’m now going to need a hiatus to go back through NOWP some distance and “adjust one or two pieces of text”. See y’all soon.
……
Job done, back again at 1150.
6. I’d say don’t use that mark of the beast at all
Interesting that this below came up around the time I was watching that French girl watching the Everly Brothers, born 1937 and 39 … Dream, Dream, Dream. Before it started, I knew, anyone knew, she’d swoon and go for their harmonies. Why, she asked, don’t they play such songs (1958) on the radio these days? They’re good, the song is so good, she said.
Moving on … why would I watch her vlog and why are females featured so much, out of all proportion, having follower counts even in the millions. Mea Culpa. Then up came Chris Spargo and he told the story of how he became a youtuber. In male terms, he has a large follower base and not all are girls … many chaps enjoy the deadpan delivery, the minutiae he goes on about.
It wasn’t gripping … and then I started thinking … we boys really are up against it building bases … it’s entirely on what info we present, not how pretty our ankle is, not our fluttering eyelids and smile. I like this chap’s output because it’s lowkey … it’s just one of us in a way.
Finding good “B”s is a painstaking process, from copy quality to known actors to those actors to avoid … and so it goes on. Had to pass over Abandoned and I’ve Lived Before … well acted, good copy but the subject matter not really “entertainment”.
So today, back to one of the old “A”s we’ve had twice already I’m thinking:
