With a small amount of time and no energy left

this evening, it's time for some clearing

One of the fun things learned about strokes, and the two kinds, is this:

The ischemic, the most common, occurs when something causes blockage of a artery feeding blood to the brain.  And it has a standard set of symptoms to watch for.

Hemorrhagic stroke is less common, and doesn't have that set.  As in when I asked a couple of the doctors "Is there any warning signs I should watch for?", the answer was "If you start feeling like that again, get to an emergency room."  

Gee, isn't that wonderful?  Considering the only signs were a headache, and not a horrible one, and some throwing up.  

Ah, as you find out more about the different things that can kill you*...

*In some cases if you're lucky, in some they can cripple you for the rest of your life.  Which reminds you, if you haven't done that, to get a will make, and give someone medical power of attorney to keep someone from sticking you on life support for the next few years.

Yes, it's our relatives(for a lot of us) in those islands across the sea,

wondering if there's anything they can do that their government will give a damn about(other than wanting to imprison them):

To reprise the obvious:

This is happening because the people in charge want it to happen.

The large protest of brave mothers outside of the Britannia hotel in Canary Wharf, are now sat on the pavement and road chanting "stop the boats!"

Absolutely agree with them. Government(s) have let women and girls down. pic.twitter.com/Tm9fxwbLKz

It is interesting to see the dominance of the English flag - the Red Cross of St George - in the above footage rather than the Union Jack. It's almost as if the citizenry are beginning to discern that Britishness is a supra-national identity that, applied as it currently is, has provided a useful cover for the English people's dispossession in their own homeland.

By the way, the video of the arriving "refugees" and the women's protest have been so effective that the dirty stinkin' rotten corrupt Metropolitan Police have invoked emergency powers to prevent it happening again.

Outrageous. The police have now allegedly enacted Section 42A, which bans protestors from demonstrating outside the Britannia hotel for 28 days.

Women peacefully protesting is causing "distress" to men in the hotel.

Touched on this a few days ago, and it's just getting worse.  And ran across this at Smallest Minority:
Will there be a "Revolution" in Britain?, written by a guy from there.  Let's say it looks bad.  Including how the Brits were slowly and steadily disarmed, which gives us an idea how things would be here if it had happened to us.

And don't doubt it: if we had given up and been just mostly disarmed, we'd be a damn sight worse off.

It's one of those busy periods

and posting will be intermittent.  When it happens.  

She calls it 'genocide inversion' to describe

why supposed liberals had to tear down pictures if Israeli victims and hostages.  It threatens their self-image.  Best explanation of that idiocy I've heard.

And no, you don't have to be on X to read and listen to it, so take a look.

Yeah, time to clear some space

The scene in which this lady caused no telling how many boys who didn't really get what it was about girls as yet to get an idea.

Two-Tier & Co. wanted people to not be able to talk to each other

so they couldn't organize things like these.

Now their* media is not talking about this because "We can't allow these bloody peasants[/King Arthur] to know just how much noise they're making!  Let alone how much trouble it causes!"

Screw the bastards, make it loud, people.

*Because they're both owned by and obedient to the leftists.

What the hell is wrong with Northern Virginia that this kind of crap

hasn't already been cleaned up?
Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) tells 7News Reporter Nick Minock that they are launching an investigation into claims that school staff arranged abortions for students and didn’t tell their parents.

This story has blown up on social media -- a report that says school officials at Fairfax County’s Centerville High School arranged and bankrolled abortions for girls without so much as a phone to their parents back in 2021.

The report says one of the two girls involved was 17 years old.
They're 'launching an investigation', which the past says means "We'll cover this up and make it go away as fast as we can."  Which means there needs to be a criminal investigation by people they can't shut up.

Well, Virginia?  

Because I've been short on time, I thought I'd recommend some places

Some on the bloglist, some not:
A View from the Beach

Daley Gator, who has general stuff and lots of pretty women

The Other McCain, his own posts and lots of links.

If you don't know, Lawdog now has The Bugscuffle Gazette

One just ran across a week or two ago, the Village Hemorrhoid

And  now, despite it being fairly hot out there, I need to go exercise, like it or not, because by the time it cools off it'll be too late in the evening.

If you need more reading material, Wirecutter's place has a long blogroll.

And he's really going to be missed when he finally decides to end it.

About the 'The left will really hate her now' post,

It seems Ms. Sweeney also likes working on her cars.

Damn, there's a lot to like about her.

Still a lack of time some days,

so intermittent posting.  

Today, in that place the ancestors got the hell out of(for which I'm really grateful),
The UK is now censoring lawful speech on the internet!

Over the weekend:

A parliamentary speech made by Conservative MP Katie Lam, highlighting the horrors of grooming gang abuse and condemning the Government’s delay in launching local inquiries scandal, was taken out of the public conversation. Social media posts expressing support for single-sex spaces as essential to the safety of biological women were removed from the feeds of UK users of X.
Videos of a public demonstration raising concerns over the government’s handling of illegal channel crossings were made inaccessible. When concerned citizens, civil liberties groups, legal experts and others warned that the Act would be used to censor lawful speech and suppress dissent . . . ministers in successive Conservative governments insisted it was all about keeping children safe. They brushed aside warnings, framing every objection as a threat to child welfare and smearing defenders of free expression as if they were complicit in harm.

Now, just days into the Online Safety Act’s censorious powers coming into force, it’s clear our warnings were justified: legal speech is being suppressed for people of all ages.

We are deeply concerned that the Online Safety Act has handed the Government powers that belong in a dictatorship, not a democracy.

Christopher Joyce is absolutely right. All this is dictatorship, not democracy.

Take the blocking of footage of police actions against protesters. It becomes much easier for the police to get away with criminal acts themselves, like the police being the ones who instigate violence, or like the police selectively using very different tactics against different groups of protesters. In Essex, where I live, the police escorted in hard-left activist protesters and then denied they had done so. Only footage on social media proved that they were lying. Block citizens from sharing truth, and you block truth altogether.

As bad as the Online Safety Act is, it’s not the thing that creates absolute tyranny. The Crime and Policing Bill is the thing that creates absolute tyranny.

This is from the excellent Mick Bolton at his substack (he was sharing an article by commercial law professor Andrew Tettenborn):
Bad situation, very.  

Instapundit had a piece the other day on information getting out no matter what the .gov and cops do, and it just might get nasty.   Probably.  At some point the cops are going to show up and act like the sorry excuses for peace officers they've become, and are going to be told "No", and they're going to lose it and do something they'll REALLY want to cover up, and it won't work.  Could say 'next step after the current start of the end'.

I just looked at the Daily Mail site, not one damned word about protests and such, or the actions and results of these new laws, which means they're being good little poodles.  We'll see if it lasts.

Oh, the left will really hate her now

The well-built girl shoots

Well, folks it's that time again,

Starting with these
