Trump Was President in 2014.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=VQzoDc5oo0c (Violence Getting Worse in Trump's America Says Biden, Reuters). Erm. That doesn't sound quite right. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferguson_unrest

It Must've Been a Rough Week.

https://us.cnn.com/2020/08/30/politics/twitter-coronavirus-deaths-false-claim-qanon-trump/index.html Discovering it's not a cabal of sex offenders. Just a group of friends. Who enjoy committing sexual offences. https://edition.cnn.com/2020/08/28/politics/jacob-blake-kamala-harris-joe-biden-cnntv/index.html

Finally Following the Covid Advice?

These chummy little cover-ups are clearly as unsustainable as they are unethical. Mueller can either retract his claims or, for the first time, repeat them in Court. With all the consequences that entails. https://us.cnn.com/2020/08/31/politics/michael-flynn-court-case/index.html

Have They Accepted That.

Or are they planning to embalm the corpse and just carry on. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-hampshire-53976713

Today is a New Day.

August 31st 2020 (31/8/20). And I feel that's something I need to come to terms with. Before attempting anything clever.

What a Curious Little Movie.

Last night I watched 2015's "The Stanford Prison Experiment." Which bore absolutely no relation to the Stanford prison experiment I studied. It did though feature a cameo by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. While attempting to really thump home the Black Lives Matter propaganda line. Which suggests a certain understanding of the source material.

They Have Their Targets.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-53965748 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-53963665 Either they hit them. Or they don't. https://youtube.com/watch?v=s_NLlOiD1Wo (Folsom Prison Blues, Johnny Cash, Official Audio).

That's What I Meant to do This Morning.

 Charge my tablet.

It Sounds Like Someone Needs Federal Help.

To ensure that people are allowed to practice their First Amendment rights. Even when they dare to disagree with the Party. https://us.cnn.com/2020/08/30/us/portland-protest-fatal-shooting/index.html

Today is a New Day.

August 30th 2020 (30/8/20).  I guess it's time to find out if my foot has healed enough to go back to the gym. Which, unfortunately, is not a test that involves sitting on the sofa.

You Want People That Amateurish in Power?

I find it really hard to imagine that the Democrats didn't think to vet him. Before embracing him as their latest hero. https://us.cnn.com/2020/08/28/us/jacob-blake-wisconsin-friday/index.html Quashing all those warrants now just draws attention to them. Along with the true motive of the movement. Also. Are you old enough to remember? When the DoJ considered Obstruction of Justice to be a really, really serious crime. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/trumps-national-security-adviser-michael-flynn-set-sentenced/story?id=65514053 https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/indictment-george-papadopoulos/story?id=61149084 https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/indictment-alex-van-der-zwaan/story?id=61149095

Hardly a Surprise.

https://us.cnn.com/2020/08/29/politics/office-of-director-of-national-intelligence-congress-election-security/index.html Given that the Democrats are now formally rallying under a foreign flag. https://www.kxly.com/i/dc-march-speakers-kamala-harris-addresses-event/

Which *Should* be Pretty Routine.

Given that even the prosecution are arguing that Floyd died of an overdose of Fentanyl & Morphine. If they had any effect the police's actions increased his chances of survival. https://us.cnn.com/2020/08/29/us/george-floyd-killing-officer-dismissal/index.html

#Winning!

This is a contest of the just absolute worst jokes. Right? https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2020/08/quick-send-for-ncis.html https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Dale

Seized & Scuttled.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-53959554 The Captain is clearly a danger to other seafarers. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/aug/29/extinction-rebellion-bank-holiday-weekend-uprising-climate Not least because of their inability to decipher even the simplest memo. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-52577957 https://youtube.com/watch?v=tjcHxl8NyrU (Float, Flogging Molly, Audio, SirKhrohe).

Quick! Send for NCIS.

https://news.sky.com/story/banksy-funded-migrant-rescue-boat-helped-by-italian-coastguard-after-it-became-stranded-in-mediterranean-sea-12059020 https://youtube.com/watch?v=TgrLIC60hYs (Rose Of Allendale, The Dubliners, Official Audio).

Black Panther: Some Toxic Sh*t.

Given the timing. It's quite hard not to talk about malignant myth-making. https://us.cnn.com/2020/08/28/entertainment/chadwick-boseman-dies/index.html It's certainly crushed the myth that prior to COVID-19 no-one died cruelly young. Or that a lack of access to healthcare is the only problem.

There's an Acronym For That.

Please stop pretending that you don't know what it is. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-53950621 Paralysed or not. He's certainly Not On Normal Courtyard Exercise.

Today is a New Day.

August 29th 2020 (29/8/20). I can now walk to the shops. Don't want to.  It's raining.

Oh Dear.

It's all gone a bit Nuremberg. https://news.sky.com/story/commitment-march-thousands-echo-historic-march-on-washington-to-protest-violence-against-black-americans-12058794 Also; The 57th anniversary? I hope that's all being properly accounted for in the Democrats finance filings. Along with all those funerals & memorial services that mysteriously coincided with primary votes. https://us.cnn.com/2020/08/26/politics/alex-morse-richard-neal-massachusetts-primary/index.html

Someone's Eyeing That Vacant Plinth.

 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-bristol-53949831

Which Looks Expensive.

Perhaps the Crown should learn better target it's resources. https://edition.cnn.com/2020/08/27/investing/new-zealand-stock-exchange-cyber-attack/index.html

In Case There Was Any Lingering Doubt.

As to the nature of the destructive force America faces. https://edition.cnn.com/2020/08/27/us/hurricane-laura-damaged-confederate-monument-trnd/index.html

Maybe I Need to be More Like Biden.

But I do not consider men who defend sexual violence to be heroes. https://us.cnn.com/2020/08/28/us/kenosha-wisconsin-protest-shooting-victims/index.html

So Someone's Getting Disbarred.

At the very least. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-53942039 We've all seen the video. Of him being a victim of crime. Perpetrated by a baying mob. If prosecutors wish to take a statement. Then that is something they can do by appointment. This type of politically motivated malicious prosecution is exactly the sort of thing the DoJ's Civil Rights Division need to be coming down on like a ton of bricks.

When Your Defence is the Movie; "Taken."

It's best to just admit your guilt. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/53941208

Clearly it was Defending the Defensible.

Given that the prosecution failed. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-oxfordshire-53943391

Today is a New Day.

August 28th 2020 (28/8/20). And for the first time in a while I don't immediately have anything to say for myself.

I Hope I Never Stop Being Shocked.

By Democrats thinking they can tell the just most outrageous lies. Knowing that a compliant media will never call them on it.

Tell the Truth.

Assault. Sexual Assault. Kidnapping. Resisting Arrest. Assaulting Police Officers. Assault with a Deadly Weapon. https://us.cnn.com/2020/08/27/us/jacob-blake-wisconsin-thursday/index.html But that's how Blake got himself shot; Racism. Britain certainly thinks the Orvals need to clarify. Whether he had any right to have those children in his car. https://news.sky.com/story/urgent-appeal-after-three-young-brothers-abducted-from-their-foster-home-by-father-in-south-london-12057804

Apparently It Does Not Matter.

How many people are killed & injured in Black Lives Matter attacks. Or how many genocidal groups Black Lives Matter are affiliated with. A global terrorist group is free to operate openly within the United States. https://us.cnn.com/2020/08/26/us/isis-knife-attack-nypd-protest/index.html

About Sums It Up.

They could just say they want to get paid to sit at home with their families. Rather than putting up with the, frankly, ridiculous COVID-19 restrictions. Instead of trying to dress their selfishness as some sort of pseudo-political cause. https://news.sky.com/story/jacob-blake-basketball-soccer-and-baseball-games-postponed-in-wake-of-milwaukee-shooting-12057437

The Police's Most Busy Department.

On account of Botany Bay & Associates. And Britain not having 17 years to waste. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-53929517

Every Time.

That Black Lives Matter rears its ugly head. We find ourselves thinking; "Please. Don't let them turn out like Haiti." https://us.cnn.com/2020/08/27/weather/laura-gulf-coast-weather-forecast-thursday/index.html

Today is a New Day.

August 27th 2020 (27/8/20). Don't ask me how my foot's doing. We're still debating it.

And Are You Old Enough To Remember.

When CNN really, really cared about the Christchurch Shootings. https://news.sky.com/story/brenton-tarrant-white-supremacist-sentenced-to-life-without-parole-for-killing-51-muslims-in-new-zealand-mosque-attacks-12057417 But in a personal note; Aye. Foxtrot Charlie's earned more than a couple of them.

They Can Say That Again.

https://www.justice.gov/usao-edwi/pr/us-department-justice-confirms-federal-civil-rights-investigation-shooting-mr-jacob Which evidence that clear. https://news.sky.com/story/jacob-blake-protests-teenager-charged-with-homicide-after-two-shot-dead-in-unrest-over-police-shooting-12057307 And a verified address. We're all surprised it's been allowed to creep around for the last couple of nights. https://youtube.com/watch?v=38bX-j5XZGY (I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry, Johnny Cash, Official Audio).

Mission Accomplished.

Then I went completely crazy. And cleaned the kitchen. Honestly.  I'm looking forward to what tomorrow will bring. Because I doubt I'll be fetching it myself.

Attention!

Maybe pay it once in a while. https://youtube.com/watch?v=SgogWwZwPqw (The Plot Against , Opening Credits|HBO, Ari).

From Lafayette to Milwaukee.

Voters can't claim they weren't offered a map. https://weather.com/news/news/2020-08-24-tropical-storm-hurricane-laura-haiti-cuba-dominican-republic-puerto-rico

Anti-FA Used to Have a Saying For That.

https://news.sky.com/story/jacob-blake-protests-three-people-shot-one-fatally-in-wisconsin-incident-reports-12056839 Something about there now being two and a half good 'uns. Four. If we're lucky.

One Of Us. Gumbaya.

https://us.cnn.com/2020/08/26/sport/milwaukee-bucks-boycott-playoff-game/index.html https://nbacrimelibrary.com/category/5-reason-for-arrest/sexual-assaultrape/

The Sexual Assault Warrant Has Been Executed.

Surely the only way to react to the news that Jacob Blake has regained consciousness. https://us.cnn.com/2020/08/26/us/jacob-blake-kenosha-wisconsin-shooting-wednesday/index.html

If You've Got Irish Cousins.

Then chances are you've got cousins everywhere. https://youtube.com/watch?v=16lPt73SUxo (Four Green Fields, Flying Column, Audio, Topic). Although the Kingbox prefers it. When you keep it clean. #Knickers.

"It's Not Going Away."

As people still insist on saying about Botany Bay & Associates. https://us.cnn.com/2020/08/17/politics/us-forces-syria-forces-clash/index.html https://edition.cnn.com/2020/08/19/politics/us-uk-isis-beatles-death-penalty/index.html https://us.cnn.com/2020/08/26/politics/us-service-members-injured-russia-syria/index.html

Crossing State Lines.

Well, that's clearly a Federal matter. https://us.cnn.com/2020/08/26/us/kenosha-wisconsin-wednesday-shooting/index.html So if the Confederates wish to continue down that path they can travel to Illinois. Then make an appointment to take a statement. If, after that, they still wish to continue. Then it becomes a fitness to practice issue.

I Thought DoJ Investigators Were Already On Site.

So any Confederate District Attorney abusing their position like that should know that they're going to be arrested. https://us.cnn.com/2020/08/26/us/kenosha-wisconsin-wednesday-shooting/index.html When the fascist jackboot is stomping down on you there is no question that you're lawfully entitled to shoot.

Now. About These Women He Kidnapped & Sexually Assaulted.

I assume they're being provided with protection. https://edition.cnn.com/2020/08/26/us/jacob-blake-kenosha-wisconsin-shooting-wednesday/index.html Or have the Democrats decided they deserve to have their homes burned like a Wendy's drive-thru.

And When Did This Shooting Start?

Oh yes. Shortly after the looting started. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-53917170

Why Don't They Go The Whole Hog.

And just start suing individuals for having the audacity to fill in their own ballot papers. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-53914606

Okay; "Karakurt."

It makes sense now. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-suffolk-53879871 Although the question was really whether the Brits can make sense of it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_Lunar_Module#Lunar_modules_produced

Today is a New Day.

August 26th 2020 (26/8/20). I'm getting a bit fed up with this now. All my worldly aspirations have been reduced to walking to the shop to buy a newspaper.

Maybe Now He'll Comply With Lawful Commands.

https://us.cnn.com/2020/08/25/us/jacob-blake-kenosha-wisconsin-protests/index.html You know this claim that African-Americans parents have to teach their children how to behave when stopped by the police. On current evidence they're doing a really bad job of it.

No Stupid Questions.

Only stupid people. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/53903703 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-53851825

Certainly a Strange Choice.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-53895000 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j0ZYXryL37Q (Nelson's Farewell, The Dubliners, Audio, Paddy Brennan). Subtitled; When you wanted Black Irish. But ended up with Ruth Negga.

Today is a New Day.

August 25th 2020 (25/8/20). And that's the frightening thing. I could have picked any random day to watch the finale of; "The Plot Against America." Since May it would have coincided with hooded Democrats looting and burning stores.

As Canada Continues to Monitor the Bridges.

Yeah. You can say that again. https://us.cnn.com/2020/08/24/us/kenosha-police-shooting-jacob-blake/index.html https://edition.cnn.com/2020/08/23/us/trayford-pellerin-louisiana-police-protest/index.html https://news.sky.com/story/portland-violent-clashes-erupt-between-left-and-right-wing-protesters-in-oregon-12054792 Now what could Democrats be frantically trying to distract people from?d https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-53796434

Well That Will Stop Them Doing It Again.

Today is a New Day.

August 24th 2020 (24/8/20). Yes. I'm currently walking with a cane. And loving every second of it. It seems to add emphasis to every one of my pronouncements. Ironically I seem to think I hurt my foot walking into town last Tuesday (18/8/20). Carrying an umbrella like a cane. As it was showering.

And What Future Belarus.

Under such painfully naive leadership. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/19/us/politics/vindman-statement-testimony.html https://youtube.com/watch?v=ZxiDkybudJg (Cedartown Georgia, Waylon Jennings, Official Audio).

So Remarkably Convenient.

Today is a New Day.

August 23rd 2020 (23/8/20). It must be that time of year again. I've strained a tendon in my foot. Mandating that going to the gym be replaced by sleeping. Such a terrible shame.

The Problem Is Obvious.

Either it's solved. Or it isn't. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-53877433

Just a Normal Part of a Democrat Election Campaign.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-bristol-53874594 Or embarrassingly premature? https://youtube.com/watch?v=Z_-pSPIamYM (Meet Me At The Pillar, Dublin City Ramblers, Audio, Topic). 

Where Did the Nazis Get Their Ideas From?

Ask Joe Biden. He's that old he was probably part of the delegation. https://www.history.com/news/how-the-nazis-were-inspired-by-jim-crow

Must We Do; "Blacklist."

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-53871617 I'm trying to blast through all seven seasons in a matter of weeks. Which seems guaranteed to suck all the fun out of it. My main takeaway so far is it's commentary on US TV's unattainable standard of, particularly, female beauty. By civilian standards the female lead is stunningly beautiful. However within the world of TV she seems plain, homely, dowdy. With her plump, mid-western face and very thick hair. Her transition to a more attractive and therefore empowered woman is just one of the reasons Season 2 is proving disappointing. I think we can all agree though. Berlin got scammed. Not only was the wrong person blamed for the crime. The crime never even happened. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3276474/?ref_=ttep_ep21 https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3276476/?ref_=ttep_ep22    

Now That Rather Depends.

On whether we're going to keep up this insane strategy of preserving and protecting the virus at all costs. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-53870798 The decision to extend its life from the growing season into the dying season already sounds like an arrestable offence.

Today is a New Day.

August 22nd 2020 (22/8/20). And, well one thing's for certain. They'll never get a girfriend like that. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-53713312 Constantly going off too early.

How Soon the Confederates Forget.

Which is why there are statues. To remind us. https://youtube.com/watch?v=p7jHz5asMs8 (Outlaw In 'Em, Waylon, Grand Final, Eurovision Song Contest).

That Moment the Five Percenters Finally Realise.

Season 2 Negotiations Are Certainly Going to be Interesting.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=RwMwrft7So8 (The Plot Against America, Official Trailer, HBO). Particularly now they're trying to move the whole thing to Oktober. https://edition.cnn.com/2020/08/13/us/baltimore-explosion-bge-report/index.html There's already been some epic rewrites. Just to keep it clean. https://youtube.com/watch?v=K3syk2VOmRw (Daydream Believer, The Monkees, Official Audio, 2010).

So She's Had Her Feet Up For a Couple of Weeks Now.

Certainly the Question on Eveyone's Lips.

Deep Down People Must Know Their Place.

How else would they feel empowered by the chain-of-command. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-53837724 After all;  "A mutiny by the incompetent lower ranks." Surely that's the talking point they were going for. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-53854372

It's Never Been an Excuse.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-53851945 And it's not an excuse now. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-manchester-53828588 Particularly at the moment Britain can't seriously be thinking it's got options.

Which is a Convoluted Way of Saying;

"As part of a plea deal the Democrats have declined to contest the 2020 Election." https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/election-us-2020-53858149

They Say That in Chess.

You have to learn to think several moves ahead. It would be nice if Britain could think of the move it was making. Whilst making it. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-53860409 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-53857563

Today is a New Day.

August 21st 2020 (21/8/20). On the plus side.  Following a meltdown that catastrophic surely Britain can't be under any illusion. As to why its involvement is an absolute red line.

Well No.

As with the 2012 coup leaders they'll just apologise for wasting everybody's time. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-53854372

"A New Standard of Idiocy."

Reviews like that suggest a formal, public apology is going to be required. https://news.sky.com/story/alexei-navalny-putin-critic-in-intensive-care-after-suspected-poisoning-12052858

Presumably With Day Release.

So he can maintain his management role at a certain social media company. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-53850642

Yet Constantly Asking.

If you have any credibility can be seriously damaging to both the ego and, by extension, the bank balance. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-53853961

Nope. No Idea.

Why the Democrats are behaving as though November's ballots have already been filled in. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-53853297 And they're currently in power. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-53806968

I Feel a bit Guilty Now.

Perhaps with better time management I could've cleaned the kitchen. Something, which due to the heat, is seriously overdue. Oh, and the attention-seeking suicide attempt. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-53844958 A heady combination of Browder money & Baltic immaturity. Along with Britain still trying to debate. Whether anyone can think of a reason they'd want to keep the network on the balance sheet. The Skripals, of course, suffered from a form of SARS. I think we all know what Britain was trying to raise during the 2018 Olympics.

And Now.

 Straight back to bed!

I Should Probably Apologise For That.

It's a shame about lockdown. It prevented my respiratory care mother. Along with my medicolegal mother gathering all my NHS cousins together for a party. In Salisbury. Which sounds like the sort of social bubble that could knock this COVID-19 business out before lunch. One of my mothers came up today. For lunch and an exercise in talking about nothing in particular. Aided by the fact my sister has acquired another horse. It turns out that if you've got the time & energy to look after one horse. There are plenty of people prepared to lend you one of theirs. With the kids still off it is threatening to turn into a riding school.

Everything Seems Possible Again.

 It's just a shame it takes until 9pm for temperatures to drop to just a hot day.

The Immediate Problem Seems to Be.

The IMF bailout. Or more accurately the paralysis which is preventing Lebanon from accepting the IMF bailout. I don't see how removing the government is going to force the deep-staters to accept the losses which come with the bailout. You know. The sort of ex-military officers who directed Saturday's (8/8/20) attack on the Finance Ministry. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-53722909

 My brother popped up.  So I went straight from the gym to sitting in the sun drinking beer. Although now I've got that particular type of headache. You get from spending too long sitting in the sun drinking beer. Like I said; "Pleasant." I think the main topics of conversation included; Football. Always the football. How we all got over that COVID-19 back in March. "Sandals." How the prevalence of foreign beach holidays & a large immigrant population has finally made their wearing socially acceptable. His missus, of course, missed the sheer glory of my linen shirt. Like all lockdown couples. She was just grateful for a few short hours not having to stare at his stupid f'cking face.

Has He Wound His Neck In Yet?

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-53686563 The protesters are trying to turn Lebanon into the next Somalia or Haiti. A failed Republic of NGO's. So the international community really can't afford to blow this opportunity to demonstrate their support for Lebanon's government. Ideally they would insist on the restoration of the government of Sadd Hariri.

I'm Surprised They're Worried.

When You're Absolutely Desperate for an Olympics.

But can't have an Olympics. For exactly the reason you're so desperate for an Olympics. People may remember that November/December 2019 was a very intense period in global politics. Not least because of the pandemic of masked protests. Originating in the Chinese city of Hong Kong. It seems all the frustrations of that time went out into the Wu Xing, Tree of Life, Quantum Field. Universe. Then came back in the form of COVID-19. It's certainly a very Olympic talking point; Are viruses like COVID-19 capable of collective conciousness? Given that other single cell organisms have been shown to display collective conciousness. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/phenomena/2010/01/21/slime-mould-attacks-simulates-tokyo-rail-network/

But then are they ever. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-53619916 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-53347804 Although if we are wildly speculating. Just three days ahead of the 75th anniversay of the Hiroshima bombing. Britain continues in militant mood. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-australia-53645759 As it continues to spectacularly fail to cope with the plague of masks it's Hong Kong thugs unleashed on the World. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06G67ZmDKfw (I Bombed Korea, Cake, Official Audio). Not that I find it easy to believe that someone would do that on purpose.

Whatever That Was In Beirut.

It required a hell of a lot of explosives. Meaning the official explanation looks like the most likely explanation. I've seen plenty of Israeli strikes against Hezbollah weapons stores.

August 4th 2020 (4/8/20). Hopefully it can muster a repeat of the wall-to-wall excitement of yesterday.
