(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)
6. More US electoral news
5. Chinese illegals at the border
Last time I looked at Chinese troops on Vancouver Island, this time it’s at the Mexican border crossing:
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.

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.
JH: This is a genuine statement … I’ve tried hard to avoid the female of our species today, Remembrance Day esp. in choosing the jazz (now scheduled for 1530) but it was abject failure on my part … I had about eight songs but the best three of the eight were inundated with females.
Oh well, thought I … the new Templar episodes won’t be … went to the second on the list:
“There are likely several reasons why the programme did not extend beyond one series. Ian Ogilvy perhaps seemed a bit youthful compared to Roger Moore but his performances were fine and the programme was certainly popular at the time.
The Grade Organisation (incorporating ATV/ITC) had not really moved on by the late-1970’s, with its output still consisting of 1960’s style caper/adventure movies/TV shows when almost everything else had moved towards a grittier realism. It was probably very expensive to make and worldwide sales might not have been good overall.
It is difficult to imagine ATV/ITC making shows with gratuitous violence and foul language and we should be thankful that they didn’t. Their output, like the Hammer & Carry On films in the same period, had a brand quality and style particular to its maker and era. But by the late 1970s that era had gone and their empire was about to disintegrate.
That said, The Return of the Saint was not a bad way to depart, being entertaining in the best tradition of ITC, with good guest actors complimenting the competent Ogilvy. Remember also that the seemingly more realistic Professionals had many ridiculous plot situations and equally has a mixed though generally favourable reaction when being assessed by critics.”
Another review said that Ogilvy proved very popular but Grade had finally seen the writing on the wall with “lark” films … thus one season only. I’m thinking feminism had well and truly also raised its ugly head by then and women were demanding kick-butt “I can do anything a man can” roles, which of course are a huge pain in said butt.

Sophisticated. MOAB do you think, or some other solution?
14. Remembrance Day afterthoughts
I’ll be commemorating it on the correct day, November 11th, at 11 a.m., the worldwide day. However today, for colleagues, inc. Julia, I ran the Remembrance. Tomorrow is Armistice Day.
With the second item, the SAS is a good idea, certainly not given to the useless Woke Met to do and certainly not the general public. I’m thinking there should be two SAS details here … one with just taser and pepper spray for the silly native kids with no respect, also including non-violent other ethnicities … then a second detail, armed, for armed jihadis, the thuggish ones … live rounds to the head.
Those calling themselves “progressive” but who are really destroyers … Net Zero, deathjabs and lockdowns, destroying farms … these are not “innovators”, they’re dysfunctional wreckers.
On the other hand, those who destroy the innovators are not conservatives, true to a culture … they are greedy bstds and equally anti-human.
13. Right back to that thing about being soft on enemies
… on being magnanimous in victory, speaking of “unity” as the Donald did, desperately wanting to be loved by all. Even Clandestine fell for the compassion for rabid animals whose only thought is tearing you to bits and eating you:
Yes and no. Those unprincipled creeps still trying to steal the election, the Senate, the House, to stack SCOTUS … vigilance! Time enough for magnanimity after Jan 6. God works in mysterious ways and it’s good not to be coldly heartless … yes … but it’s also good to be vigilant with these enemy bstds.
Look, until such time as God decides to rework the heart of each bad person in His own way, it’s our job to be vigilant … we owe that to all the victims who have been potentially saved now from these creatures. Yes, I feel sad for fallen humans … I do, they’re not just words … but dropping one’s guard? The height of irresponsibility to those depending on you being a rock.
12. Two more on US politics
11. Comment at Jstack
10. Kathy Gyngell is a good woman
… and man, is she ever womanly in this excerpt from her weekly emailed newsletter (to access, go to blogrolls, find Conservative Woman):
Words of joy that came from Bernard Carpenter, TCW’s man in the USA, marked a week that was veritably a historic and wonderful one. Epoch changing and a new dawn, are the only other words I can add to Bernard’s elation, giddiness and ‘pure joy’ in reaction to the most spectacular political comeback of all time and Trump’s victory.
With some of us as dry and emotionless as dry sticks in covering last week’s events, she brings raw emotion, love, feelings … this is the whole point of a woman, bringing such perspectives to balance our range from dullness to anger and back. It only reinforces to me, constantly, how absolutely vital it is for men and women to work together, to get the whole picture, not just part of it, even most of it.
Were I to be asked which items this morning to look at first, for an overview … I’d say last evening’s Candace for the overall overview of Them, supplemented by the Duran today at 873, supplemented by the Sinema aide LDS (Lake derangement syndrome), supplemented at the lawlesness everywhere, with no attempt to stop it by “authorities” … only to stop us, the ordinary homebodies and pub pint drinkers.
Now, as it’s Remembrance Day, plus it’s Sunday anyway, I’m going to wax religious for a moment.
Were you to look at Matthew 22:39: “And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself …” … you’d understand the magnitude of such an admonition.
Were you to then reflect on Anakin Skywalker going out of his brain with anger at what had been done to innocents in that village, under the brainwashing influence of Palpatine … then you’d see the endless, satanic, slaughter-begets-slaughter forever and ever, no respite … to the delight of the psycho and henchmen at the top … which brings us back to Candace’s guest last evening at HQ.
Exacting revenge brings in Romans 12:17-21 about “vengeance is mine, saith the Lord” … which is a very difficult saying, which methinks has been confused with the need for immediate self-defence, particularly to defend your family … something I do not play down in the least, quite the opposite.
Consider the atrocity-doers though themselves, the lawless, loveless, at war with themselves in their own heads … the doers of unspeakable cruelties … yes, we can be as bad as them if we wish, if we slide down into that sewer, addicted to slaughter, barely human …
… the issue to my mind is how to steer a way through all this whilst retaining at least some sort of humanity within ourselves. In other words, not crossing that line into brainwashedness, abetting arranged atrocities by those at the top.
It requires a powerful force indeed, inside us, preventing the slide into that abyss of self-disrespect, loss of ethics, loss of humanity … the end goal of satanic groups such as jihadis, Azov Brigade, Janjaweed … there are so many … the EU, UN, NATO. Even Swift and her slutty model for female kids … part of the same lot.
My question is … what is there a singular absence of within too many humans today, esp. the Woke and the invaders? If you answer, “Religion! Get some firm Welby or Pope or Ian Paisley or Gerry Adams Religion into em, Sgt-Major, beat it into the little bggrs …” … then imho, that’s entirely mising the whole point of the New Testament … which is to get yourself in order first … straighten up and fly right … it’s sorting oneself out first, refusing to act as a little savage … not from cowardice but from strategy …
… keep your powder dry, choose your battles, stay in control of yourself, stick with a sane code of living. And the West has had such a code for centuries, for two millennia … which has the effect, along with some classical historicity mixed in, with the absence of ignorance, along with a generally benign attitude … of producing a God-loving, country-loving, family-loving and self-loving, civilised person, not some barbaric, savage soul.
Yes, it does need that Code of Living but at the same time, it requires that Teddy Roosevelt maxim of “speaking softly but carrying a big stick”. In other words, look at that guest of Candace again and his story … pangs of conscience, started to believe in right and wrong, remorse … it went from there.
Net effect? Courage, ladies and gentlemen … courage … which both those people in that clip have oodles of. Whence? Where did that immense courage spring from? From a bottle? From a needle? Whence David’s courage before Goliath? Whence the statue of the little girl before the raging bull in Brussels? To say “from feminism” to the latter is the ultimate Lie. Most of a certain age brought up in the West know exactly whence that courage.
Now that’s as “religious” as I’m getting for now, until later around Remembrance time (11th of the 11th, at 11).
