Opening with my theme song (one of)
There are accuracies and inaccuracies in that song … no, I’m certainly not lonely, does not compute … how could I with all this incoming about now, all night? I do sing like a frog though. Pepe.
Wakey wakey, morning all. That’s my idea of a lullaby above.
Try this:
20. Moo corner
19. Donny and the Senate
18. Love the bluetick reference … she doesn’t have one
17. The time is coming, folks
16. One from Gab
15. How’s your numerical reasoning?
14. Fences
13. Steve at 1427
Hearts of Oak: Rebecca Hardy – Texans for Vaccine Choice: The Fight for Informed Consent and Vaccine Exemptions
12. Sickening
11. Sometimes the most intelligent people can be very foolish and stubborn
… in the light of the passing of Penelope Keith:
(0622) Morning again, all … short break now. (0657)
10. Moo corner
9. Not “tomorrow” morning but later today, BST
Possibly the most vital SCOTUS vote in the recent past
8. Free speech and spreading love
7. Steve at 1426
6. Christianity not being torn down?
Demons not about in the least? Just a figment of my imagination? We’re not at all in the middle of a war, orcs lurking everywhere?
(0405) This infuriatingly (in some ways) calm and civilised order of presentation on this blog in the midst of a tsunami of chaos and strife out there, orchestrated by very bad, bought people in key positions of power, can seem like the ultimate in tedium, the ultimate unreality, unable to face the awful truth but I’d argue that we very much see it … how else are we going to present it? Like someone losing his mind? This can also be seen in Tue 1 today, from NZ downunder. (0610)

a) French Parliament votes down ‘Conscience Clause’ in Euthanasia Bill. Once the bill passes, medical institutions will be forced to carry out assisted suicide duties, regardless of their religious or ethical objections.
b) France. A poll conducted by Consumer Science & Analytics (CSA) on behalf of Le Journale du Dimanche has found that 83 per cent of French adults are supportive of the notion of “negative immigration” in which unemployed, criminal, or otherwise delinquent migrants ar deported.
c) French President Emmanuel Macron has reportedly instructed his government to draw up proposals for new EU-wide taxes to help finance the bloc’s next seven-year budget, expected to reach a record €2 trillion.
d) The number of foreign criminals released from gaol hits record high in the UK under Labour. A total of 19,779 foreign criminals who have served time in jail now live freely in the United Kingdom.
e) Andrew Bridgen on X.
This is a correct analysis of the problem. We are also facing the prospect of being forced into a war with Russia. The Russophobia promoted by our Governments and MSM for the last few years is blatant. The same people who lie to us about every other important issue.
4. Steve on the event of the Royal Navy Merlin
You’ll recall the Royal Navy Merlin helicopter that crashed near Sourton, Devon on the 3 June, killing all three on board? So sad but then I read in the paper about the state the Royal Navy’s Merlin helicopter fleet, and it ain’t good. Same old same old. It comes down to not having enough again so no reserve which means each one is worked hard and breakdowns are common. The fleet is unreliable. On top of that pilot/crew training is rushed to meet schedules that are unrealistic thus compromising safety. Flight Lieutenant Lily-Mae Fisher was on her final flying assessment over Sourton Down the night she died. Filmed last year here she is having a chat with former SAS soldier Phil Campion:
Lily-Mae Fisher’s journey as a Royal Navy Commando is showing at 1427:2 now …
JH: This is the moment where I hope it’s not so but Steve might take issue with me … hope not, but it might be so. Let me explain:
Many years ago, one of our regular readers at N.O., contributor in fact, fell out with me when he outlined the history of a female racing driver who had done wondrous things in men’s eyes, even won a race. She crashed and died a bit later and I made reference to Kara Hultgreen, female pilots in general … it was too early to write of USS Fitzgerald, that Miami bridge or of Blackhawks … and my line was that there was good reason they come a cropper.
One of those reasons is the immense pressure placed on women to succeed, to be promoted, being feted … mainly by men. In fact, men try to move the goalposts, turn a blind eye to failure, do anything for the girl out of abiding fandom of said girls. Men speak of just how well she’s done, women speak of overcoming odds and “succeeding” … you know the score. It’s summed up beautifully by Christy below here:
I watched at least the first part of Lili-Mae’s account and instantly, Christy’s words were being echoed. Lili-Mae was detailing how she’d failed, tried again, failed, tried again, kept failing until they moved the goalposts and she’d finally *succeeded*, ra ra ra.
Do I really need to labour the point? As well as those in high places willing this thing, trying to force a square peg into a round hole, was the collective blindness of squaddie men, sailors etc., all eulogising this girl for becoming what they, in their gallantry, desperately wanted for their fave gal.
Gals are capable of the most amazing feats, e.g. in gymnastics … better than almost all men, they often have superlative colour sense, they make brilliant youtubers … like a duck to water … they make brilliant agents in wartime. I adore gals as much as any man but why would I wish to force one of these darlings to her death, simply to assuage my own wants for her?
And the men in comments under her video were laying it on thick in their adoration. Yeah? How about her own knowledge of her own limits?
3. IYE corner
a. Kirschner et al:
“ On the US website for special envoys and representatives, Steve Witkoff and Massad Boulos are listed as special envoys to the Middle East. Witkoff is NOT an Ambassador, Boulos is – confirmed by the Senate. Kirshner is not mentioned in any capacity. Boulos is the Lebanese father of Tiffany Trump’s husband. He is the ‘senior advisor’ to President Trump for Middle East Affairs, however, to date his work has consisted solely of being ‘involved’ in African initiatives, in particular Sudan, Congo, Rwanda and Zambia. He owns and operates a trucking company in Nigeria where he lives with his wife.….”

Christians are being massacred in both Lebanon and Nigeria. Trump could do something about it, after all he said he loves Christians. He could’ve put a stop to the slaughter in Syria but he didn’t. All mouth and no action.
b.Having her (KM) eggs removed? Artificial insinuation? Dunno but one of the nurses attending her unalived herself. Conspiracy theories abound.

2. As I wrote on X just now, from Toodles
Video is at 1427:1, also up on X. That’s mini-networking, folks.
1. It’s only that knock on the door which can jolt normies awake
The mindset of “please, crocodile, eat me last” is all-pervasive and this below illustrates how Them pick off the obvious candidates first, e.g. the hunting licence gun owner, quite a sanguine curmudgeon who combined that with comments on *mm*gr*t**n.
There are all sorts of things to say but one which struck me was how this was a well-ordered, middle class home in a good area, obviously with internet.
(1632) Heading for evening. Penelope Keith died, RIP, await Toods’ theatre tomorrow with PK.
23. Mila Joy reports
“It sounds like TOMORROW we will get the biggest decision of the season from SCOTUS: Birthright Citizenship.
Justice Amy Comey Barrett will be the deciding factor, with Gorsuch, Alito, Kavanaugh, and Thomas all indicating they will do away with Birthright Citizenship.”
This follows today’s egregious 5:4 on mail in ballots. Barrett again.
22. McDonald’s
Whom to believe? First a pundit on X:
“McDonald’s loses lawsuit against chef Jamie Oliver, who proved that the food they sell is unfit for human consumption because it is highly toxic.
Chef Jamie Oliver won a lawsuit against the world’s largest fast-food chain.
Oliver demonstrates how hamburgers are made.
According to Oliver, fatty cuts of meat are “washed” with ammonium hydroxide and then used to fill the hamburger patties. Even before this process, the TV presenter says, this meat was unfit for human consumption.
Oliver, a radical activist chef taking on the food industry, says:
“We are talking about meat that is sold as dog food and then served to humans. Aside from the quality of the meat, ammonium hydroxide is harmful to health.” Oliver calls it “the pink slime process.”
What sane person would put a piece of meat soaked in ammonium hydroxide into a child’s mouth?
In another initiative, Oliver demonstrated how chicken nuggets are made: After the “best parts” are selected, the rest—fat, skin, cartilage, eyes, bones, head, feet—is subjected to a mechanical separation process called “Canica”—a euphemism used by food engineers. This blood-pink paste, which is deodorized, bleached, refreshed, and re-colored, is then coated in flour and deep-fried. It is typically fried in partially hydrogenated oils—in other words, toxic substances.
The food industry uses ammonium hydroxide as an antimicrobial agent, allowing McDonald’s to use meat in its hamburgers that is unfit for human consumption. Even more alarming, however, is the fact that these ammonium-hydrogen-based substances are considered “legal components of the production process” in the global food industry, with the approval of health authorities. Consequently, consumers will never know what substances are in their food.”
Then Snopes, the least reliable “fact checker” on the net. This is from a “community note”:
“Jamie Oliver did not sue or win a lawsuit against McDonald’s over “pink slime”; the company voluntarily stopped using ammonia-treated beef trimmings in 2011.”
21. Edward T. Winslow on X (opinion)
Nobody is telling you what SCOTUS actually handed Trump today.. the headlines say “Trump wins right to fire FTC commissioner”.. that’s the smallest version of this story.. here’s what actually happened..
Since 1935.. Humphrey’s Executor v. United States has been the legal wall protecting every “independent” agency from direct presidential control.. antitrust enforcement.. merger reviews.. consumer protection.. labor relations.. securities regulation.. that wall is gone.. 6-3..
Chief Justice Roberts writing.. and here’s what nobody wants to say out loud.. Democrats spent the last 4 years loading those commissions with commissioners specifically designed to block Trump’s agenda from inside his own executive branch..
Rebecca Kelly Slaughter was one of them.. fired March 2025.. she sued.. today she lost.. the FTC is just the first domino.. NLRB.. SEC.. EEOC.. every commission that wields executive power now sits under the same logic the court just applied..
91 years of precedent.. gone in one opinion.. one carve-out: the Federal Reserve.. explicitly protected.. separate statutory structure.. separate litigation still running.. everything else just became the President’s to control..
The “independent” agencies were never truly independent.. today SCOTUS made that the law.
20. Citizen Vigilante
MMutR watched it last night. He spoke of unusual strategies the guy used, strange choices, plus various plot points.
I came away from it wondering how on earth that it got through the deep state to be released, given its nature. I don’t mean that I think it should not have been … I mean that Them allowed the release in the first place, given the tight control of UK life.
The answer is quite simple … Them want such an outcome, are itching to get this conflagration going. At the same time, consider the fighting army waiting in barracks and in new housing projects, also the weapons caches waiting inside certain religious buildings.
19. Barrett
In a sickening development, SCOTUS voted 5-4 to allow mail-in ballots days after voting day. Barrett had the deciding vote. Obviously the three scumbag demons plus Roberts would vote for that, while Alito, Thomas, Gorsuch and Kavanaugh went for anti-corruption. Alito wrote the dissenting view.
In practice, any blue state opting for days late ballots (late box drops) is backed by SCOTUS. The deciding vote was Barrett’s. She had the Donald and everyone else well fooled. Catholic she might be but she ain’t no Christian.
Obviously this cannot stand, so major moves need making under martial or emergency law.
