He's Certainly A Strange Fella That Biden.

Every time he gives a speech conceding defeat. https://us.cnn.com/2021/08/31/politics/biden-afghanistan-withdrawal-speech/index.html You kinda get the impression he thinks he's won.

Narcotic Withdrawal Can Be Rough.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-58388796

That Doesn't Sound Particularly Climate Friendly.

Just binning 96% of your menu. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-58393847 Have they not heard about methane?

It's Certainly A Serious Error.

When He Should Be Asking What They Can Teach Him.

It Certainly Shows The Difference.

In March 2011 Japan experienced the 4th worst Earthquake ever recorded. The 2nd worst Tsunami ever recorded. Along with the 2nd worst Nuclear Disaster ever recorded. All within the space of about 15 minutes. This was followed by years of brownouts and electricity rationing. All of which Japan just quietly got on with. In June 2017 Britain experienced one fire at one tower block. Still doesn't understand why. http://www.news.cn/english/europe/2021-08/30/c_1310157724.htm

Today is a New Day.

August 31st 2021 (31/8/21). And isn't that always a good feeling. When you're finally able to move on from the X.

Annoying.

https://edition.cnn.com/2021/08/30/politics/us-military-withdraws-afghanistan/index.html I was just starting to get into my stride. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NiR3Suw1KOg (GI Joe Headstomp, Sick Of It All, Official Audio).

There's Never Been Any Mystery To It.

And Probably Still Doesn't Even Understand Why.

Clearly. The Words They Were Looking For.

https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2021/08/that-sounds-like-something-out-of-gaza.html Were; "Thank You." And; "We're sorry. We'll immediately set it right." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1G9wO9-54c (Puff The Magic Dragon, Peter Paul & Mary, 2004, Audio, Topic).

It's Certainly A Time Suck For Us All.

His grotesque incompetence. https://www.rt.com/usa/533409-biden-watch-ceremony-caskets/

Does That Sound Even Remotely Sane?

"British Led." https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-58388132 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbP_BncY5tA (A Hard Road, Black Sabbath, 2009, Official Audio).

That Sounds Like Something Out Of Gaza.

It's also reminiscent of the challenges US bases in Iraq have been facing. In response to the killing of Soleimani. https://us.cnn.com/2021/08/30/asia/rockets-fired-kabul-airport-intl-hnk/index.html You can probably even trace it back to the first Gulf War. The Provisional IRA's (PIRA) mortar attack on Downing Street. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Downing_Street_mortar_attack In reality. That's just what the Grad missile system in designed to do. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZyEUk1ZJLn4 (Electric Funeral, Black Sabbath, 2012, Official Audio).

Now. About your bitch. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/av/uk-politics-58259509 It still seems, remarkably, unhung.

There's Nothing Like A Reality Based Approach.

https://www.rt.com/usa/533358-ilhan-omar-afghanistan-biden/ It was the Taliban that insisted the US sticks to the August 31st deadline. Or perhaps that was her intention. Implying that Biden is the Taliban's agent in the US.

Today is a New Day.

August 29th 2021 (29/8/21). I'm just debating whether I dare shake loose the grot. By going to the gym.

Perhaps They're Not The Best Journalists.

If they think Mexico will be much of an improvement. https://us.cnn.com/2021/08/25/americas/afghan-journalists-mexico-intl/index.html https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/aug/09/mexico-cartel-threat-tv-news-anchor

Do The Drowning Men Think They'll Have To Go That Far?

https://www.rt.com/usa/533352-biden-attack-kabul-airport-likely/ Bearing in mind it's unlikely to prevent the embarrassing optics of a repeat of civilians over-running the airport.

They're Very Paralympic Topics.

The Berkley School of Independent Living and Reenablement. After being discharged from hospital my father was given six weeks of NHS funded careworkers. They unilaterally extended that by around 10 days. For a host of reasons. I'm not going to argue with the NHS paying care workers to sleep in their cars for an hour each day. They 've brought that to an end today though. We're still waiting for the apology for that extremely misjudged outburst of backchat.

The Novichok Did Okay Then.

Although, at this point, it's really just elder abuse. https://us.cnn.com/2021/08/28/politics/isis-k-drone-strike-us-afghanistan/index.html The crisis we've all seen unfold at Kabul airport. Is far from the only scheme of the Biden regime which has ended in disaster. They were convinced they were going to bring peace to Israel/Palestine. Starting by holding a Palestinian election to give legitmacy to Fatah. They then realised Fatah would lose any election to Hamas. Forcing them to cancel the election at the last minute. This, quite literally, exploded. With violence in both Israel and Palestine only ending with 10 days of open warfare between Israel and Gaza. That disaster resulted in Naftali Bennett becoming Israel's Prime Minister. As a hardline Zionist this makes it signficantly less likely there will progress in the Israel/Palestine peace process. Prime Minister Bennett made his first official visit to America. On Thursday (26/8/) and Friday (27/8). The Biden regime has...

Today is a New Day.

August 28th 2021 (28/8/21). Even with the paracetamol. I doubt it's going to be a productive one.

Honestly. I Think I'll Just Take The Paracetamol Now.

Because tomorrow is going to full of questions? For whatever garden for severely 'special' children ever looked at that Crayola scrawl. https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2021/08/well-on-plus-side-america.html And, somehow, interpreted it to mean something even resembling a lawful order.

Well. On The Plus Side America.

There's currently more people laughing at you. https://us.cnn.com/2021/08/27/politics/us-military-airstrike-isis-k-planner-afghanistan/index.html Then'll ever be laughing at Rosie Jones.

Honestly. I'm Surprised Anyone Waited Around For The Punchline.

It must've been their first day. https://www.rt.com/uk/477281-rosie-jones-greta-thunberg-joke/ https://www..youtube.com/watch?v=LpEYuVpJUVI (It'll Be A Long Time, The Offspring, Official Audio).

Perhaps, Once Sanitary Conditions Have Been Restored.

That could be amongst something we could discuss. https://news.sky.com/story/afghanistan-boris-johnson-pledges-to-shift-heaven-and-earth-to-get-more-people-out-of-country-after-31-august-deadline-12392448 https://edition.cnn.com/2021/08/26/politics/biden-kabul-attack/index.html However the drowning men ever thought it acceptable. To continue to lash out against those around them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCHspVLAuWc (Date With Destiny, Pennywise, Official Audio).

Now, How Is The Novichok Doing?

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-58315818 Because it's certainly been a Rock n' Roll couple of days. Anyway, you were saying. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-58351768 'Inferiority Complex?' https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-58315927

Surely, This Is A Mental Capacity Issue Now.

https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2021/08/i-can-think-of-dozen-or-so-military.html I mean; He does understand the inevitable consequence? Of his failure to offer a defence. To the charge of; "Treason." Which, all available facts show, that he has committed.

I Can Think Of A Dozen Or So Military Families.

Who may well disagree. https://us.cnn.com/2021/08/26/politics/byrd-babbitt-capitol-riot-interview/index.html Speaking just for myself. As he has chosen to forego his right to a trial. I have absolutely no problem moving straight to sentencing.

And How Is Paralympic Equestrian Going?

Yesterday (26/8/) my horse owning mother fell off one she was trying to back. Breaking her Fibula. But isn't that just horse ownership. One long list of broken bones. Yeah. It turns out no horse is born with a desire to have a human sit on their back. The process by which you teach the known as; "Backing."  It rarely goes to plan.

That Can't Possibly Be Backchat I'm Hearing.

From beneath the sole of my boot. https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2021/08/team-gb-wont-get-anywhere-like-that.html Amid the Paralympics the offender has attempt to break from its rehabilitation program.  This isn't a serious issue. They were put on arses on Tuesday (24/8). I, myself, put them on their arses yesterday. Unfortanately. They still seem to be suffering under the delunsional. That backchat is a viable alternative to following the protocol their superiors have laid out for them.

Who Doesn't Enjoy A Full Court Press.

Today is a New Day.

August 27th 2021 (27/8/21). I'd say I'm waiting to see what it holds. But I've already got a feeling household chores are going to feature heavily.

As Team GB Wildly Outnumber Everyone At The Paralympics.

I would suggest they should at least try. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/disability-sport/58338980 But, at this point, the scale of the f'ck up is clearly beyond discussion.

This Is So Much Worse Than Saigon.

https://www.rt.com/usa/533167-us-veteran-biden-exit-afghanistan/ For starters the fall of Saigon was in 1975. America completed the withdrawal of it's troops from Vietnam in 1973. But who doesn't enjoy a full court press. https://www.rt.com/usa/533078-mccain-harris-memorial-vietnam-confusion/

Someone's Finally Googled; "Beau Biden" Then.

https://us.cnn.com/2021/08/26/politics/biden-kabul-attack/index.html

In Many Ways It's "SWAT's" Own Fault.

For recycling an episode of "The Unit." For it's Zoe/Abbie cult rescue episode (S.4, E.6). https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0889016/plotsummary?ref_=tt_stry_pl (The Unit "Off The Meter"). Now. The US Treasury Dept hasn't issued that apology. Commensurate to the scale of the humiliating failure. So the US/UK couldn't ever have thought that was going to fly. https://us.cnn.com/2021/08/26/asia/afghanistan-kabul-airport-blast-intl/index.html Rather begging the question. Of why they didn't bother to even try to seem an extension. https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2021/08/we-await-iocs-action-plan_22.html

Although. That Is Rather The Point.

https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2021/08/chinas-busy-building-belt-road-seaport.html Having being horribly misled by the US/UK. The fall of Kabul clearly came as a complete surprise to the NATO nations. Everyone else though has been preparing for it for months. https://www.rt.com/russia/531615-tajikistan-wargames-afghanistan-taliban/ Being able to see it coming.

Whatever Does The Biden Regime Know About The Khorasan Group.

https://www.rt.com/news/533145-isis-k-militants-afghanistan/ We do so wonder. https://www.centcom.mil/MEDIA/PRESS-RELEASES/Press-Release-View/Article/904355/nov-6-us-military-forces-conduct-airstrikes-against-khorasan-group-terrorist-ne/

Do They Wonder Why They Failed To Secure An Extension?

https://www.rt.com/news/533115-taliban-kabul-airport-attack/

Team GB Won't Get Anywhere Like That.

Their superiors have told them the protocol. Their role is to follow it. Without any backchat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RkuOaKmG_qU (Wings Of A Dove, The Blues Busters, Audio, Trojan69Skin1).

The News Is Filtering Down Then.

The last civilian flights are tomorrow. They will be clearing the backlog of people already in the airport. https://www.rt.com/news/533143-pentagon-explosion-kabul-airport/ The Biden regime will probably kill more people like this. But it will look better on CNN. https://www.rt.com/news/532143-kabul-fall-death-plane-airport-afghanistan/

China's Busy Building A Belt & Road Seaport There.

To allow for the export of rare earth minerals from the DRC. https://www.rt.com/news/533047-tanzania-shots-gunman-police/ It was really the arrival of the first Black Ships in Japan which marked the end of the Silk Road. Opening up faster maritime trade routes. China has clearly learned from the past. Now also building seaports, railports and even faster airports. I still wouldn't bet against Japan slapping the Para Airport Opening Ceremony together in about a week though.

America Doesn't Have Troops In Afghanistan.

America has troops in half of Kabul's main airport. The G7 really should've detected that Biden's decision was actually made a couple of days ago. From his failure to order a much wider US military mobilisation. https://us.cnn.com/2021/08/23/politics/afghanistan-kabul-airport-military-deadline/index.html I'm aware securing ports, both air & sea, is really the point of a Marine Expeditionary Force. The Airborne Rangers have also been known to make a show of things. From time to time. However. They both train to do that within the context of a much larger invasion force. Which sounds like the sort of thing you would know. If you could remember whether your son, Beau, served in the Army or Navy. In Afghanistan or Iraq.

Is that Boris Johnson will attempt to unite the G7 in making a request of Joe Biden. That Joe Biden seeks permission from the Taliban to extend the Kabul evacuation beyond August 31st. Words like; " Demand " or; " Insist " should not be in their vocabulary. The original withdrawal date, of September 11th. Seems like a reasonable compromise to me. I don't think anyone involved actually wants to see this thing blow up. Having it blow up during the Paralympics seems like it would be particularly damaging to all concerned.

As Someone Who's Successfully Commanded Troops In Battle.

I've been trying to avoid drawing attention to it. However, that is the extent to which the Biden regime has completely f'cked this up. CNN ;  “THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT CANNOT ENSURE SAFE PASSAGE TO THE HAMID KARZAI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT,” the embassy advised American citizens in a security alert Wednesday. " All this talk of rescuing US troops and diplomatic staff. Let alone local allies and refugees. Is now wholly dependent on the mercy of the Taliban. They can easily crater the runway with artillery. Or even just blow up a plane on the runway with an RPG. Completely shutting down the airport. Then you're either walking. Or facing a massacre. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/world/canadas-big-task-in-haiti-starts-on-small-airstrip/article1207814/ You'd think the likes of Tugendhat and Duncan Smith would be refraining from provocations.

To the completely irrelevant. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-58254794 However, I'm surprised Iain Duncan Smith dared to show his face. A recurring malfunction behind America's failure to launch under the Biden regime. Has been the refusal to either respect Britain's decision to self-exclude. Or be a good ally to them. Pressuring them to reverse Duncan Smith's clerical error.

August 17th 2021 (17/8/21). Obviously what's happening in Afghanistan is an absolute shame. But at least it should be a couple of weeks before anyone even thinks about back-chatting me again.

None Of Which Explains The Just Stunning Intelligence Failure.

https://edition.cnn.com/2021/08/16/politics/biden-afghanistan-speech/index.html Day 1 they were told. The maximum they would be able to achieve. They failed to accept that offer. Then spent eight months apparently completely oblivious to the fact they were having absolutely no impact whatsoever. While everyone else has been watching this happen for more than a month and making preparations. The US was so spectacularly unprepared. Biden actually thought he would be able to go on vacation this week.  As recently as Saturday (14/8) morning the US still seemed completely unaware of what was happening. Leaving them unable to secure their only exit from Kabul, the airport, until 36 hours after the city had fallen. They're right about this being nothing like the fall of Saigon. This makes the fall of Saigon look good.

Why The Hell Not?!

https://www.rt.com/usa/532218-pentagon-defense-resign-kabul-airport/ This complete disconnect from reality should terrify all Americans. Along with all of America's allies. We've all been watching this collapse for more than a month. Everybody else was ready. https://www.rt.com/russia/531615-tajikistan-wargames-afghanistan-taliban/ Even as recently as Saturday (14/8) morning America still hadn't realised it was happening.

To prioritise the destruction of Miley Cyrus. Above any and all other objectives. https://us.cnn.com/2021/08/14/uk/plymouth-shooting-incel-jake-davison-profile-intl/index.html However. If Team GB and Team USA wish to discuss their non-participation. They first need to acknowledge that they didn't participate. After all. Botany Bay's choice was made long ago. There's little point talking about bringing in new laws to prevent online terrorist activity. When the existing laws are simply not being enforced.

Their Business Model Does Rather Depend On Keeping the Pandemic Going.

https://www.rt.com/usa/532010-uber-eats-nfl-masks-schools/

Rather than simply self-captioning. https://us.cnn.com/2021/08/13/politics/judges-riot-court-describe-january-6-chilling-disgrace-tyranny/index.html After all. This bold eight month experiment.

Because that won't be happening until an apology has been issued. https://www.rt.com/usa/531988-military-base-washington-lockdown/ An apology commensurate to the scale of the humiliating failure.

Today is a New Day.

August 13th 2021 (13/8/21). It looks like I've got a busy one ahead. Watching chickens come home to roost. Or, more accurately. Watching people finally notice the chickens coming home to roost.

I Look Forward The Hearing More About This.

How Team USA. https://www.foxnews.com/world/us-military-help-evacuate-americans-embassy-kabul And Team GB. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-58195286 Ever got to thinking they were participating this year.

Nobody Tell Her.

https://us.cnn.com/2021/08/12/media/rachel-maddow-msnbc/index.html It'll make a terrible mess on the carpet. https://us.cnn.com/2021/08/12/europe/helicopter-crash-kamchatka-russia-scli-intl/index.html

https://us.cnn.com/2021/08/12/us/father-kills-children-qanon-california-mexico/index.html

We Await The Statement From The US Treasury Dept.

Detailing exactly how and when they will be issuing the apology. Commensurate to the scale of the humiliating failure. https://news.sky.com/story/britney-spears-father-agrees-to-step-down-as-pop-stars-conservator-12380043 It's really up to them if and how they recover it from the embarrassments that are NBC/Peacock and C3 Presents.

Sleepy Joe's Finally Been Woke Then.

https://www.foxnews.com/world/us-military-help-evacuate-americans-embassy-kabul He's been losing since he did that 20/1 thing we're not allowed to speak openly about on the Internet. The worry is why it's only taken him until now to start to notice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmlgc6znnNA (Run On, Elvis Presley, Thou Art, Official Audio). I'm fascinated by this British claim the Paras are going ahead though. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPT_RjpVuv8 (Bridge Over Troubled Water, Johnny Cash, Official Audio).

If You Can't Figure It Out From The Protocol Stage.

AND! the Wikipedia page. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Ships You've no right to call yourself a participant at this level. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-devon-58195419 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8oIi6Yj4Wk (The Fight Dew, Young Wolfe Tones, One Road, Official Audio). So, as I've said; The malfunctions in the Maritime arena are well known. As are the malfunctions in the Acquatic, Equestrian and Cycling arenas. So best the junior ratings just publish their action plans. Then, if we're in a charitable mood, we may take pity on them. And tell them whether they've managed to find the correct answer or not.

If Biden Had Even A Tenuous Relationship With Reality.

He wouldn't be describing himself as; "President." https://www.rt.com/news/531867-israel-iran-cia-deal/ There doesn't need to be negotiations with Iran. For the current Biden regime to simply reverse one of the worst mistakes of the previous Biden regime.

It's A Start.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/athletics/58193101 But it's not addressing the scandal. Of how non-participants were ever able to gain access to Olympic venues.

The Malfunctions In The Maritime Arena Are Well Known.

As are the malfunctions in the Acquatic, Equestrian and Cycling arenas. https://www.rt.com/news/531826-greece-boat-sinks-british-rescue/ So why don't the junior ratings just publish their action plans. Then maybe we'll take pity on them. And say whether they've got it right or not.

https://www.rt.com/news/531818-india-space-rocket-launch-failure/ Although, given the mess it made of their Covid response. India can't claim it wasn't well aware of the malfunction going in. Rather begging the question. Of how they ever got to thinking this was a question.

Today is a New Day.

August 12th 2021 (12/8/21). I think I'd best go to the gym. To justify the audacious sandwich I'm planning to have for lunch.

Yep. That Is Utterly Humiliating.

What with batteries being very far from carbon neutral. While you can make hydrogen out of methane. The most potent Greenhouse Gas.

They Can Continue To Refuse To Acknowledge That They're Complete Failures.

It will only increase the size of the apology they'll have to make. https://us.cnn.com/2021/08/10/politics/embassy-kabul-drawdown/index.html

It's Just An Insult To Intelligence As A Concept.

https://us.cnn.com/2021/08/10/us/tennessee-volunteer-high-school/index.html Now, like I said; The hijacking is to end. Miley is to be set free to make good decisions. Or continue to make, just absolutely, terrible ones. The US Treasury had best be swift. In making an apology commensurate to the scale of the embarrassment they've made of themselves.

Much Like The IOC's Latest Monument To Failure.

It'll all have to come down. https://us.cnn.com/2021/08/10/us/miami-building-unsafe-evacuation/index.html Being notified of your error is never, ever the start of a discussion.

https://edition.cnn.com/2021/08/10/sport/olivia-podmore-death-new-zealand-spt-intl/index.html No-one can hope to move forward. While insisting on clinging onto the past.

Q. Why's The Olympics Like Miley Cyrus?

A. We've all seen them both pay out absolute fortunes. Just to come round my house. It was in 2005. That Britain was awarded the privilege of hosting the 2012 Summer Olympics. This was to be held in the capital, London. In. essentially, my mothers' backyard. They actually had to delay their big move to Salisbury. Due to you really not being allowed to bring trucks within mortar range of an Olympic stadium. It was in 2006. That Britain made the courageous move. Of completely withdrawing from reality. Retreating into a world of cures for lung cancer, leadership in mental health care and world domination. In the field of geriatric healthcare. Fifteen years later. Absolutely none of those things have happened. Not only that, Britain has sustained severe damage. I'm talking percentage points of GDP damage. In many ways. COVID-19 was just Britain's last 15 years of life. Played out in a really intense 15 months. As a longstanding, close ally. You would think America would now...

I Can Promise But Two Things.

1. Much later on. I will watch what, if the Olympics had gone ahead, would have been the Olympic Closing Ceremony. 2. I will be drunk.

Let's All Mark This Moment In History.

2021: The year even the International Olympic Committee couldn't be bothered with the Olympics.

We Await The IOC's Action Plan.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/olympics/58125822 To properly address the message they've been aggressively trying to promote. Through their decision not to go ahead with the Olympic; "You can't hope to move forward. If you're going to cling to the past."

Today is a New Day.

August 8th 2021 (8/8/21). I'm going to go to the gym later. After a gap of three years. Someone's got to at least attempt something resembling an Olympic event.

A Bit Of Opening Ceremony Trivia.

The Opening Animation lasted for 52 seconds. The length of time between that bomb being released. And it detonating. https://www.rt.com/news/531282-japan-apology-hiroshima-speech/ But you keep doing you IOC. You keep doing you.

You're Not Going To Forbid Dancing Again Are You.

https://us.cnn.com/2021/08/07/health/lambda-coronavirus-variant-wellness-explainer/index.html After all. As a Filipino-American Catholic. Lou Diamond Phillips role as a Cheyenne Native American in; "Longmire." Is packed with conversational potential. Even it it is, clearly, far too elite for the IOC. https://www.rt.com/news/531356-japan-withhold-lambda-variant-detection-olympics/ Or any other mask-nutter who thinks Pacific Islanders are Asian-Americans. https://www.rt.com/sport/530946-olympic-games-archery-svetlana-gomboeva-russia/

Q. Why's Miley Cyrus Like The Olympics?

A. We've all seen them pay out absolute fortunes just to come round my house. We've yet to see me think of a reason to go round theirs.

Tea & Medals All Round Then.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-58127407 Honestly you'd think Tish Cyrus' contact point at the CIA would have prioritised other objectives. Above this fevered desire for me to use Instagram. Which won't ever be happening. Not at any price. Although, their conversations this weekend. Are going to be dominated by how and when the apology will be issued. Obviously it will be underwritten by the US Treasury. It's up to them how and if they're going to recover it from NBC/Peacock and C3 Presents.

Never To Be Spoken Of Again.

Apparently it's too central to the 'values' of the IOC. https://www.egyptindependent.com/feryal-abdelaziz-wins-egypts-first-gold-medal-in-tokyo-games/

The IOC Be Watching The Opening Ceremony Like.

Rather than; "The Nazi Olympics " It's always the Nazi Olympics , whatever the city or year.

So If She's Desperate For Something To Take Down.

She should focus on that. Not her knickers. https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2021/08/is-this-new-olympic-event-now.html It shows what an absolute mess the IOC have made of things though. If they'd gone ahead with the Olympics. Then I'm sure we could spin it into the discussion everyone seems desperate to have. Over Social Media regulation. Why should it fall to Instagram to remove the post? When, as a 28 year old woman. Miley Cyrus should have known not to do it in first place. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2jEHyhBXe8 (In My Eyes, Minor Threat, Audio, Topic).

Is This A New Olympic Event Now?

"How Many Mistakes Can You Pack Into A Single Announcement?" https://www.instagram.com/p/CSKpR78BRdY/?utm_medium=copy_link 1. Miley Cyrus isn't a member of the gay community. We've had her tested. Gay women experience involuntary sexual attraction to women. Not just when they remember they're supposed to be playing the role. 2. Miley Cyrus isn't a supporter of the gay community. Really the AGM of the gay community is the Eurovision Song Contest. A main theme this year was Miley Cyrus' sickening, violent campaign against the gay community. There are Evangelical Christians working  in gay conversion camps. Who think she's gone too far. 3. Miley Cyrus' opinion was not sought. In the Olympic discussion over America exploiting her. In an effort to create an unprofessional working environment for Japan and South Korea. 4. It is not something for Miley Cyrus to celebrate. Being mocked by Gucci for allowing herself to be exploited by America like that. 5. ...

It Wasn't A Question 17 Days Ago.

It's certainly not an equestion today. BBC Sport: "It's all over for Great Britain in the showjumping team final as Ben Maher takes the decision to withdraw."   Whether the Para-Olympics can be held is now entirely dependent on the IOC. First publishing. Then successfully implementing its action plan.  

Shouldn't The IOC First Address The Event's Main Scandal.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/olympics/58127366 Of non-participants not only being able to gain entry to an Olympic venue. But also access to swords and pistols. Honestly. I'm surprised the horse was the only one there freaked out.

It's Certainly Put A Lot Of Pressue On A Locked Down City

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-58125414 It preparing for an Olympics. Which the IOC have then declined to hold.

I Thought We Had Another 28 Years To Wait.

https://www.rt.com/russia/531336-satanist-murders-victim-discovered/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gingerbread_(Buffy_the_Vampire_Slayer) Whereas the IOC has, what, minus 15 days to get that action plan published.

That Action Plan Can Be Published At Any Time.

http://www.xinhuanet.com/english/2021-08/07/c_1310113269.htm In fact. It's rather humiliating that it hasn't happened already.

Today is a New Day.

August 7th 2021 (7/8/21). Whisky is so bad. I mean. At first whisky is so good. But then it's so bad.  Anyway. I assume we're still waiting on that action plan. To see if the IOC will at least try to salvage some dignity, right at the death.

It Is One Of The Most Ridiculous Things I've Heard.

https://us.cnn.com/2021/08/05/us/latinx-gallup-poll-preference-trnd/index.html The gender neutral term for a Latino/a person is; *drum roll* Latin.

So Not Even Half The People Who 'Voted' For Him Then.

https://www.rt.com/usa/531378-biden-blunders-number-vaccinated/

There's Never Been Any Mystery To It.

Until it's got it's head on. It's unavailable for booking. https://www.eonline.com/uk/news/1295768/see-kevin-hart-grill-miley-cyrus-kelly-clarkson-more-stars-in-hart-to-heart-first-look Over the years I've been more than happy to get plenty of blood and brains on my hands. I could never live with the shame of having enabled that.

Former Fencer, IOC President Thomas Bach?

https://www.rt.com/news/531345-tokyo-train-stabbing-attack/ Or just the turbulence of forcing a Locked-Down city to prepare for an Olympics. Then declining to hold an Olympics.

If It Were My Lookout.

I'd know. https://www.instagram.com/p/CSPf4SEJqWi/?utm_medium=copy_link But despite you coming round my house. I can't think of a reason why anyone would care. But if you want to sink from chasing Kings to pawn. It's still your Epitaph there. https://www.instagram.com/p/CSKpR78BRdY/?utm_medium=copy_link

It's Funny How That Goes.

https://www.rt.com/usa/531342-arizona-senator-arrest-sexual/ https://www.rt.com/usa/531270-doj-probes-arizona-police/

On The Plus Side.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-58119886 At least some people no longer need to imagine. What it's like to be that utterly useless.

And Does That Feel Like A Productive Use Of The IOC's Time?

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-58095558 Given they've yet to publish their action plan.

She Smirks, Petard In Hand.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-58095551

It Was Always The End Of The Discussion.

https://us.cnn.com/2021/08/05/us/alaska-plane-crash-ketchikan/index.html As an ally. America gets Britain to wholly reverse its decision not to participate. Or Britain's decision not to participate is respected. It's not me who'll have to live with the eternal humilation. Of being so utterly useless. As to not realise what a ridiculously generous offer it was.  Now you've notified of the scale and nature of the required apology. Don't ever expect me to weep over the grave of a Confederate foot soldier.

Apparently It Malfunctions So Terribly.

It extingushes and Olympic flame in seconds. https://www.rt.com/usa/531271-boeing-faa-warning-fire-hold/ Although we notice America's National Olympic Committee has yet to put the IOC on formal notice. Over the scandal of non-participants being able to gain access to Olympic venues.

Will They Have Cleaned House By Then?

https://www.rt.com/sport/531285-lionel-messi-latest-psg-man-city/

I'd Ask If Their Geothermal Power Plant Is Still Firing.

Allowing them to export electricity to the region. Rather than having to import very expensive fossil fuels. https://www.rt.com/news/531281-stvincent-gonsalves-injured-vaccination-protest/ But, sadly. I know all about the slaying of the Chimera.

One Of The Most Important Themes Being Completely Missing.

Can you imagine making such a humiliating error(!) https://www.rt.com/news/531282-japan-apology-hiroshima-speech/  In case the IOC are still wondering how big a mess they're making of things. I suggest they go and check out that's place on the current league table.

Today is a New Day.

August 6th 2021 (6/8/21). Unlike the IOC I have the luxury of time. They've got, what, 15 days to publish their action plan. Otherwise they'll also be preventing the Para-Olympics from going ahead. Meaning it will be about a month before I actually have to do anything.

Tomorrow, My Bach.

Tomorrow?! https://us.cnn.com/2021/08/05/politics/pompeo-japanese-whiskey-bottle/index.html

That'll Happen Whether People Get Vaccinated Or Not.

When it does, people will have to get another vaccine. https://us.cnn.com/2021/08/05/health/us-coronavirus-thursday/index.html If you really aspire to starting each new day with a fresh injection. Just try to develop Diabetes. Oh, I see you're way ahead of us. https://us.cnn.com/style/article/plus-size-tattoos-carrie-metz-caporusso/index.html

And Do They Think They'll Have Completed Al Gebra By Then?

Remedial class, obviously. https://us.cnn.com/2021/08/05/entertainment/britney-spears-ex-parte-father-co-conservator-battle/index.html

You wait until they hear about Japan! https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-58102368 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanamara_Matsuri

Whenever Will They Learn.

They are the absolute least people we need to hear from. So we're perfectly happy for the to just disappear for three months in the summer. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-58107009 Ideally for three months in the autumn, winter and spring as well.

It Certainly Sounds Incredibly Unlkely.

The same, rare, endocrinological conditions effecting both the grandmother and the mother. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-58103833 Almost unlikely enough to start you looking for something toxic within the home environment. Propaganda, perhaps. 🎵 Face Down in the Puddle!

If There Isn't Going To Be A Super League.

Then there isn't going to be a league. https://www.rt.com/sport/531259-lionel-messi-leave-barcelona/ Was that, somehow, a difficult concept to get ones head around?

Is The Sheen Coming Off It Like An IOC Medal?

I May Have Stared Into The Cauldron.

But thermal power plants are wholly inappropriate for hot countries. You create electricity by setting fire to coal. Then use most of that electricity to stop the coal setting fire to everything else. https://www.rt.com/news/531218-wildfire-turkish-power-plant-emergency/ Whereas a nation like The Democratic Republic of Congo seems to have huge potential for geothermal power. https://www.rt.com/news/524570-congo-volcano-eruption-evacuation/ Maybe we should've stopped the Crazies from slaying the Chimera.

Rise Above The Muddy Puddle.

Don't let that be your Epitaph. https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2021/08/a-refusal-to-even-attempt-to-participate.html

It's Certainly What Israel Is Famous For.

Giving a great many f'cks. About being told it can't go into other people's countries to kill perceived enemies. https://www.rt.com/news/531205-israel-lebanon-aoun-bombing/ Can you imagine though. Being so utterly hopeless.  That you were unable to maintain a working relationship. With someone who's able to maintain working relationships with both sides of the Israel/Palestine conflict. Oh, that's right. Some people don't need to imagine. https://us.cnn.com/2021/08/01/middleeast/taliban-to-seize-lashkar-gah-afghanistan-intl/index.html

Did The IOC See What Happened There?

https://www.rt.com/sport/531204-tokyo-olympics-apology-ukraine-russian-swimmers/ An error was made. Then immediately corrected & apologised for.

They Should've At Least Tried To Participate.

https://www.euronews.com/2021/08/05/exiled-belarusian-sprinter-krystsina-tsimanouskaya-speaks-out-after-flight-from-tokyo-olym After all. Clearly, my brain is awesome. https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2021/08/we-all-urgently-await-iocs-action-plan.html

That Was A Completely Unexpected Surprise.

Due to the IOC's decision not to go ahead with the Olympics. 'Kirsty Coventry' was able to pop round. Which normally only happens every 4-5 years. Unfortunately she didn't bring her horse. But she did bring whisky. Welsh whisky. As for how my superiors are doing. With all their superiority? About as well as they're doing with Covid. Along with everything else. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oe2hdbft5-U (I Shot The Sheriff, Bob Marley, Burnin, Official Audio).

But Has America's National Olympic Committee.

Lodged a formal protest with the IOC? Over the scandal of non-participants being granted access to Olympic venues. https://www.rt.com/sport/531175-reaction-us-mens-relay-tokyo/ Team USA, more than anyone else. Should be well aware of the costs associated with not even attempting to try to participate. https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2021/08/and-how-is-it-going.html

We Await The IOC's Action Plan.

They have been notified of their error. As they have been notified of the remedial work they have to complete. Just as they have been provided with the tools to complete that task. That is always the end of a discussion. Not its start. The Olympics can't begin. Until they address the scandal. Of how non-participants were able to gain entry to Olympic venues.

Today is a New Day.

August 5th 2021 (5/8/21). I'm sure I can try to find a reason to pretend to be upset. By the IOC's decision not to go ahead with the Olympics.

Rather Begging The Question.

Of how many times one woman can openly acknowledge that she's committing treason. Before she gets disbarred? https://edition.cnn.com/2021/08/04/politics/amy-berman-jackson-capitol-riot-defendant-patriotism/index.html

On how it is going address it's security malfunction which has allowed non-participants to gain access to Olympic venues. So the games can get started. https://us.cnn.com/2021/08/04/media/summer-olympics-ratings-nbc/index.html

Another Completely Blown Opportunity Then.

https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10009638-video-katarina-johnson-thompson-finishes-200m-olympic-heptathlon-heat-after-injury? Wasn't an injury. She crashed & burned because, like her teammates, she didn't even attempt to participate.

A Refusal To Even Attempt To Participate.

Is a refusal to even attempt to participate. https://www.instagram.com/p/CSKpR78BRdY/?utm_medium=copy_link Utterly inexplicable, when you've been provided with the tools. Particularly on a day when the rewards of participation have never been clearer. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-58092465

The Olympics Can't Begin Until The IOC Addresses It.

The strange sights we've be subjected to in venues and on podiums. https://us.cnn.com/2021/08/04/sport/olympian-raven-saunders-protest-action-suspended/index.html At least Team USA have made attempts to acknowledge their non-participation. https://us.cnn.com/2021/08/04/sport/simone-biles-aunt-olympics-spt-intl/index.html

We Await The IOC's Action Plan.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-suffolk-58085950

I Suppose They Should Get Some Credit.

For swiftly tidying it away. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-58081254 Even if it has taken them a year to work out how that improves everyone's life.

There Was Never Any Mystery To It.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-58091854 They were notified of the error. As they were notified of the remedial work they'll have to complete. The refusal to even attempt to try to participate. Isn't something I can explain.

Having Been Rescued From The Olympics.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-58092465

Was The Test Administered By WADA?

https://www.rt.com/sport/531087-russian-karate-anna-chernysheva-covid-olympics/ They do have a reputation for seeing things in Russian samples that no-one else can.

Maybe That's Why The IOC's Refused To Hold An Olympics.

They've been viewing the Brexit agreement as a Team GB success. Rather than an almost unrelated side-effect of an EU, specifically Irish, failure https://www.rt.com/news/531135-lebanon-israel-idf-rocket-attack/ https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/olympics/58083290

If Only The IOC Would Publish It's Action Plan.

Regarding the similar security problem its been having at Olympic venues. https://www.rt.com/news/531075-ship-hijacked-gulf-oman/

Germany Certainly Has Some Explaining To Do.

The IOC Can't Claim It Missed It's Alarm Call.

Making the failure to publish its action plan even more mysterious. https://www.rt.com/news/531063-earthquake-japan-tokyo-olympics/

Team GB Should At Least Try.

You may remember. A short while ago my father went into hospital for elective surgery. Thanks to the Catholic Pope. Then the Brazilian President. You all know why. That surgery achieved everything it set out to achieve. Today there was the small matter of a follow up appointment. Just to confirm there's no need for any further follow. Obviously they've become a lot less keen on unnecessary appointment. Now they've having to pay for and organise transport to and from. So, again. Team GB have been notified of their error. As they've been notified of the remedial work they will need to complete. They have also been provided with ample tools with which to complete the task. Why they are still refusing to even try to participate. Isn't really something I can explain.

Today is a New Day.

August 4th 2021 (4/8/21). And it looks like it's going to be another long one of; "Sshhh!" And' "Go Away."

https://www.rt.com/news/531024-israel-bennett-act-alone-iran/ Given the threats the US/UK made against Israel yesterday. https://news.sky.com/story/oil-tanker-attack-iranian-ambassador-summoned-to-foreign-office-after-drone-strike-on-mv-mercer-street-12370823 Meanwhile(!?!) https://twitterwithbraincells.blogspot.com/2021/08/the-ioc-still-have-no-plan-to-start.html

As The IOC Have Made Abundantly Clear.

You can fill that in anyway you want. https://www.rt.com/news/531026-chinese-officials-mock-wapo-nyt/ "Didn't bother to even attempt to participate?" "Just write in any number of medals you like."

A Refusal To Participate.

The IOC Still Have No Plan To Start The Olympics Then.
