(1250) Afternoon all. (1315)
15. Moosh corner
14. Wondering, you know, if with me
… it’s autism, alzheimer’s, asparagus syndrome, adhd or just awkwardsoddedness? I did have smallpox vaccine a few decades back … had two operations to remove the result. In the first one, the famed surgeon was apparently drunk.
13. Like Kaitlin Collins?
12. That limbo effect
(1005) Just been doing some Easter correspondence and various chores, back again. (1045)
11. Different era
10. She’s quite right
As with Trump 1.0, every failure to act was met, by honcho pundits, with, “The Donald knows what he’s doing, he has a plan, he’s two steps ahead, it takes time etc. etc. etc.” … and MAGA just buys it.
9. Interesting formatting by IYE
… in that it can be read but the text can’t be copied and pasted. Ordinarily, I’d say bye bye to Grifty for doing this but as it’s Good Friday and as it’s about Easter, and as it’s IYE and Grifty, then:
It’s a pretty godless place on the whole, Britain, and so an American … Grifty in this case … is going to feel both puzzled and grieved by Chas III who should have promised to defend THE Faith, then starts defending the cult of the other side, not unlike Yusef and Reform.
Mind you, the US has its hotbeds too, from NY harbour to Washington, to Seattle, San Diego and others. Plus many of us are dismayed but hardly surprised by Chas III, as with his first Minister.
(0447) Morning again, all. (0543)
8. May Day? M’aidez!
Not sure if you’ll agree with this thinking … looking at two key anti-globos and/or anti shariahs and/or anti child rape and murder on X, Christine Easdale @ChristineEasda1 and Christine Oswald @christi73224817 … one has resigned from Reform over what globos Farage and Tice did to Rupert and a third of Reform supporters … and the other still sees Reform as the only viable option, at least for May 1st at grassroots level.
My take on it? I see the stances of both ladies but as May 1st is nearly upon us, seems to me that at local council level … the maximum anti-globos, anti-shariahs we can get in, the better. Call it Reform now, call it something different once the evil triumvirate of Farage, Tice and Yusef are gone … main thing for now is to get as many of us into power as possible … act on the other matter after May Day.
Both ladies I count as colleagues, I really do not want us split, just as Giorgia Meloni flew to Washington … there are good friends from many western countries … I don’t want us split, we must find a way through … we must ditch the evil muvvers working against our various western peoples … we must combine to do that.
Back to Giorgia and Donny … this is of such massive importance … it restarts “the west”, drives a nail into the coffin of globopsycho, wokery and shariah … opposes the autocratic hijacking of the UK, France and Germany, plus it helps kill off the EU. Vital!
The full clip:
7. DAD at 1024
a) It’s Nantes – again. On the evening of Monday, April 14, 2025, five youths aged 15 to 17 broke into the Emile-Péhant public elementary school in Nantes, during the school holidays.
b) If is not Nantes – it is Rennes. Three armed men entered a Subway restaurant on the Kennedy block in Rennes and opened fire, injuring numerous people late Thursday afternoon, April 17, 2025.
c) And still they come…. This is a first in at least five years. France is the European Union country that received the most asylum applications in one month, in February 2025, with 13,065 applications, ahead of Spain (12,975) and Germany (12,775), according to the latest available data from Eurostat.
d) Budget Backlash: PM’s plan could topple another French Government. Hélène concludes her piece with, “In the middle of the storm, Bayrou displays a confident smile. Deep down, he knows full well that, paradoxically, doing nothing is his best chance of survival”.
6. Meanwhile, in America
5. Giorgia and Donny too
Not sure if this will work as a clip, I have a sshot too if necessary:
Readers, can you actually see PM Meloni on your screen? If you click, does it play for you?
(0324) Middle of the night … Good Friday morn … greetings, unherdables.
4. Giorgia and Donny
To say I’m biased is an understatement … I’d certainly fly to Rome for a cuddle with the fair Giorgia, as Donny will:
Working together to build a stronger West.
Today in Washington I met with President
@realDonaldTrump
. A fair and constructive discussion on strategic issues: from security to defense, from the fight against illegal immigration to trade relations.
I took the opportunity to invite him to Rome, and I am pleased that he accepted. It will be a further opportunity to strengthen the dialogue between our Nations.
Italy is increasingly a protagonist in a rapidly changing international scenario. And today, also thanks to the work done in recent years, our point of view is listened to and respected.
The bond between Italy and the United States remains solid, vital and decisive to face the great global challenges together.
3. Food for thought from Andy at 1023
a. “Two articles I’ve just read, one from our national propaganda machine and the other from the odious rag. This is about the so-called Romeo and Juliet clause, permitting teachers to not report sexual activity involving minors if there is a negligible age difference. Somehow it makes sense, teens being teens but these days I can only see it as the thin end of yet another wedge. Pray, or weep for our children.”

2. Steve at 1023
1. A Good Friday message
I just wrote this over at Orphans and it applies here too. The difference is I stay just political afap over there … here I allow myself some latitude into the Christian and western heritage commemoration:
……
If ever there was a commemoration or festivity so fraught by diversity in what it means to which people, it’s Easter/Pascha/Resurrection Sunday (and by extension … Good Friday). From our Gab type out and out libertarians through to our “religiously inclined”, the capacity for offence is major. Time to trot out the old trusty quote about it:
I can only answer for myself here but the very act of wellwishing on this weekend is nice … for some, it will be fluffy bunnies and painted eggs (my ex-gf overseas), plus that special Orthodox bread … for some it is the passion of Christ today, even our pagans recognise the festivity of regrowth of spring.
One thing for sure is that in our part of the world, it is one of these things … it is not that excrescence blighting our people, esp. our girls and women … then our boys in schools, then us men, such as we still are. It is not the globo horror our political class are pushing so hard … at least we do flatly reject all that.

(1611) Evening coming up, all.
21. Moosh corner
… fun day for all concerned.
20. Steve corner
a. On Thur 14:
Here we have full coverage of migrant crimes against American women under Trump’s administration, disgracefully neither MSNBC or CNN covered it:
Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt Briefs Members of the Media with a Special Guest, Apr. 16, 2025 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OD85ZFNKy0

b. War Room at 1023:
19. Andy brings CNN to HQ
This is CNN so it could be taken with a pinch of salt. Or it could be a concern as regards priorities and the power of lobby groups.
18. IYE
Thur 2. Mathis breaks it down – see his addendum recently added. “The Fake Blue Origin”
https://mileswmathis.com/bezos2.pdf
17. There was always something wrong with the whole thing
While there’s subsequently been one thing after another after another … for me, two or three things did it. Until then, I’d been quoting a site starting with G, have forgotten the name … it was slick, it was written in a ferreting pundit, not a whitewashing way and it was crammed with detail on how metal melts, why this could not be … why this probably was. It was like one of our exposes … only pro-narrative.
NIST lying next morning about the rubble started my dissidence, followed by various firemen reports, things not adding up … then came that interview with Silverstein in his office, asked about safety and WTC7 in particular. Whilst some were fixated on the Beeb error, it wasn’t that which did it for me … it was Silverstein answering the question of what he intended doing with the building, should measures not work.
”We’ll pull it.” Meaning the entire building … that afternoon.
There is always, as mentioned in an earlier post, often an incident, only needs to be one. For example, Barrett’s look of disgust at Trump’s back after he’d moved on. In film, one of the Columbo episodes was solved, turning on one thing … immediately before the bomb blast in the car, the perp ever so slighly winced, braced for it.
Another aspect on 911 was how vehemently the firemen kept banging on, under severe attack and insult. Same way Alisha Owens did, with zero % gain to be had, personally.
16. If the girls in Thur 14, plus this lady
… represent much female opinion up and down the land, then who is bolstering up the Granny Harmer, making him feel invincible?
15. Reminder to Granny Harmer
14. Near the end of the clip
… glance behind left at the low wall, who’s sitting there:
Maundy Thursday preface … seems I might have to dip into the archive a bit more today and tomorrow, as the material on X is not offering a lot just now. This is going to mean separate posts with the “read more” reminder below. Here’s one from the turn of the Millennium.
Minette Marrin’s article is becoming increasingly difficult to find online so it’s archived here for reference:
– Minette Marrin, Sunday Times, 24nov02, sect. 1, p19
‘All men are rapists” was one feminist battle cry of the 1970s. Not many people actually thought so, even at the time, but it did express an animosity towards men that was widely shared and has taken a firm hold in mass culture.
What the gender warriors probably meant is that all rapists are men. Not only do men have a monopoly on rape, they also have a near-monopoly on mugging, grievous bodily harm, warmongering, torture and crimes against humanity. Illogical people might therefore be led, by the same upside-down syllogism, to think that all men are awful and the root of all evil. Many do, and increasingly.
Even little children sense this prevailing orthodoxy in the playground. I will never forget the moment my nine-year-old daughter told my four-year-old son that men do all the bad and cruel things in the world and are wicked. But not girls. The poor little fellow looked at her in shame and horror. Since then he has been growing up in a climate of increasing misandry, the opposite of misogyny.

12. Bergen-Belsen Concentration Camp
Bergen-Belsen or Belsen, was a Nazi concentration camp in what is today Lower Saxony in northern Germany, southwest of the town of Bergen near Celle. [Wiki]
Steve on its liberation:
Was listening to Gilbert King, a gunner with 249 (Oxfordshire Yeomanry) Battery RA, whose unit was the first to enter Bergen-Belsen on this day in 1945. Can’t imagine what he saw – I went there in 1984 when it was a different place altogether. My Dad was there in 1947 when he was posted to a former SS Panzer Barracks in Munsterlager. He just shook his head when I mentioned I’d been there during my time at the Bergen-Hohne Training Area.
Small clarification, the first allied soldiers at Bergen-Belsen on 15 April 1945 were SAS looking for one of their own. A local had told them a British soldier was being held at the camp and it turned out it was the man they were looking for, SAS Trooper Jenkinson. What they found went up the chain of command and the nearest unit was sent to investigate. That unit was Gilbert King’s the anti-tank battery.
11. Housekeeping
Thu 10 is the first post so far at HQ requiring a page break or “read more” prompt … I plan a few, at intervals, not that often … today’s was just an experiment, as the WP compose system does not offer “read more” in the compose options bar. Eventually I found how it could be done.
The messy part is that it first requires a reader to click on the heading in green, which therefore requires a prompt, in green, below the excerpt … clicking the post heading then takes the reader to the stand-alone post page, which then requires clicking on the “2” below in green to complete reading the article.
It’s messy only for occasionals and stumble-upons … regulars will soon see how it works. Most posts will still operate the regular way … using the “day and number” format, where I manually control the whole-post length, thereby not requiring “read more” breaks.
