… who quoted a man in the area in NC … the view of FEMA was right … bad uns all right … but he supported the police in stopping rescue teams.
Yes and no … yes the 4WDs and buggies were breaking up roads … police right to prevent according to him but the policeman the net is objecting to was refusing to allow hubbies etc. to go back to collect possessions, long after the event … whether temporary or under permanent orders … time will tell.
12. There’s a fair bit at 835 just now
IYE and a filum
DAD and Miliband’s bonkers plan
Steve and Arcuri on the real plan in the south-east
Think the last lady is an Xer … Eva V you’ll know … the black one I don’t know but the other is famous … the girl is German but in America, making a name for herself getting yoof in to vote MAGA.
The whole issue of having the phone on at all is the first thing I saw there. The landline phone here is not connected, it’s away in a cupboard … the only phone I answer is mobile and only if the incoming number is in my address book, other calls redirect to a graveyard. The email works. If govt want me, they text.
9. IYE at 834
“Did a surrogate mother carry Archie and Lilibet?” Article translated:
There are different sizes, shapes, and colors, with prices up to 300 euros. Even a twin edition is available online! But who is asking about an artificial baby bump nowadays? Who’s even considering it? And why, for heaven’s sake?…..”
… whereas we rely on “common sense” in others, ethics, sanity, values like family and hard work, doing as you promise to. There is no accident in the change of hegemony in the west from “western” in the trad way to this communist dystopia, it’s been called out over and over … certainly from the Frankfurt School onwards.
Whom do these humourless, godless automatons target? The thick yet ambitious, plus the student just out of school … a typical pair are Ginge and Whinge:
Unable to discern right from wrong, “right” is replaced by “new”, “fine sounding”, all change … they take courses for years learning this guff above, believing:
that they’re so very special, chosen to lead beyond authority
that the end justifies the suffering to others in the interim … trust them
Just some snippets from the sort of thing they’re learning:
There’s a word for all this … brainwashing … and further … slow, inexorable brainwashing by trusted figures for years, since childhood. No need to think, Kamala, just follow the playbook to the letter through your earrings and we’ll carry you through it.
And the nasty ordinary people raising objections … we’ll deal with these racist, sexist misogynist every ists, just as we’re doing in North Carolina.

e. Quote from ‘the Chiefio’: on why it is important to look beyond the MSM: “It is IMPORTANT to listen to your opponents to better understand them. Blinding and deafening yourself does not increase your understanding of your situation.”

There’s a picture with Eva Vlaar who will be one of the four ladies tomorrow lunchtime and she’s wearing a MAGA hat … but she’s Dutch, isn’t she … shieldmaiden of “the right”.
Below here is a shot of the Donald when … well you can read about it below … interestingly, our Steve wrote: “These people really do love their country..”
Well, some obvious questions are … why was Dutch Eva wearing a MAGA hat, why was Steve, British armed forces, admiring their spirit, why this site and I also? Why do I love my American friends, Dutch, Oz, NZ, Canada … French, Russian etc. and all are for sound policy, sane values, loving your country?
If we love the country, then how can we love those doing the same in their countries? Coz we do. Shirley we’d be beating our chests and clashing heads, no?
No … as my mate up the road said … it’s not in the least a zero sum game, plus there are many things we admire in people we admire.
But then we get to a different issue … how small can the geographical area be which we’re loyal to? In my case … the Deira? West Riding? Yorkshire? England? Britain? Great Britain? The British Isles? Europe? The West?
At what point on the chart do you put the pin in and say this is the one … I’m patriotic to this one?
And what of your Scottish, Irish, Welsh, French etc. etc. friends? Antipodaeans? And what if I told you that this below is my personal national anthem?
And more than that … why this particular version edging out the other fine renditions? And what about my additional crazy reasons why? Beyond loyalty to England?
Well, for a start, it’s insane … Joseph of Arithmetic coming here? Satanic mills? Even the song, as played by ELP, is insane, in yer face, bombastic, bringing in Jesus. Jerusalem? Why? That’s almost Masonic.
Plus the visuals are good in this vlog version … boy dun well. See the temple near the end? At a minimum, it’s highly eccentric, Blake was off his rocker … I just luv it … even the idea of England now is as far away as Oh Flower of Scotland … beautiful anthem by the way … as is the Star Spangled banner, La Marseillaise, Uber Alles … great songs! Can you play the Maple Leaf forever? No I tire after a dozen renditions.
I did not know this film, thought it another noir but as one reviewer pointed out … noir had had its time by then, yet the hardbitten French Connection style of movie had not really kicked off … this fits into that inbetween category.
Romance? No … it’s an “actioner” … surprisingly well put together, well acted, with great outdoor establishment shots. Might be worth your time:
