      “President Biden made history on Thursday when he commuted the jail sentences of nearly 1,500 people and granted 49 pardons, marking the largest single-day act of clemency in modern history.

      In the sweeping move, Biden shaved years off the sentence of the person convicted in the largest municipal embezzlement in U.S. history, angering the current leaders of the small town she stole from.”

      “The mass-commutation continues to spark backlash, however, including from fellow Democrats, as it appears as though the White House didn’t really vet everyone on the list.

      example….

      Former Pennsylvania Judge Michael Conahan
      In 2011, Conahan and another judge were convicted for wrongly sending juveniles to for-profit detention centers in exchange for millions of dollars in illegal kickbacks. (4,000 juvenile convictions were later thrown out after the “Kids for Cash” scheme was exposed.) Conahan’s 17-year prison sentence was due to end in 2026, and he had been serving that sentence under home confinement since 2020. Sandy Fonzo, whose son died by suicide after being sent to a juvenile detention center, called Biden’s commutation “deeply painful” in a statement. Pennsylvania governor Josh Shapiro publicly criticized Biden, as well. “I do feel strongly that President Biden got it absolutely wrong and created a lot of pain here in northeastern Pennsylvania,” Shapiro said. “[Conahan] deserves to be behind bars, not walking as a free man.”

    Niger’s military rulers suspend BBC broadcasts

    Niger’s military government has suspended the BBC for three months, accusing it of spreading fake news that could destabilise social peace and demoralise troops fighting jihadists.

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cvg6p2d55zko

    The junta called these reports “baseless assertions” and a “campaign of intoxication orchestrated by adversaries of the Nigerien people aimed at undermining the morale of our troops and sowing division”.

      “A good analogy for reliance on renewables is the age of Sail. Sailing ships moved goods around the world from the 16th century until the beginning of the 20th century. Technical progress even produced higher speed. However they were limited both in size and especially in reliability. They could become becalmed for a week or hit by ferocious storms blowing them way off course. They really only worked worked well under stable wind conditions, which were unpredictable. As soon as iron clad ships and reliable steam engines became available they quickly replaced sailing ships. Modern container ships today master all weather conditions and move most of the world’s trade on which the global economy depends.

      Why is Germany investing so much in Energiewende?.

      Germany is really building 2 energy infrastructures. A renewable infrastructure and a backup fossil fuel infrastructure. They recently built 19 new modern coal fired stations in parallel to their investment in wind and solar. The reason is simple.”

    If you haven’t heard the latest outrage, see below.

    Hard to believe, but this is the country we live in now, with the “homes for arabs” ploughing up our countryside, ready for a lifetime of them, their wife and 6 kids all on benefits:

    “Convicted terrorist sues saying he’s ‘deeply offended’ by sign outside pub named the Saracen’s Head Inn.

    A convicted terrorist is taking a pub to court after he claimed to be deeply offended by the sign outside the venue.

    Khalid Baqa, who has previously spent four years behind bars for preparing Jihadi propaganda, wants more than £1,000 from the Saracen’s Head Inn in Chesham, Buckinghamshire.

    He has criticised what he described as the racist ‘depiction of a bearded Arab/Turk’ on the pub’s sign and also insisted the depiction ‘incites violence’.

    Baqa has asked for £1,850 from the landlord and has also announced plans for take on over 30 other pubs with the same name if successful. ”

          Writing about these sermons at the time, I highlighted three that were delivered at mosques in the United States in that same week, all of which spoke about Jews in genocidal terms. Two of the sermons — one at a mosque in Houston, Texas, the other in Raleigh, North Carolina — cited a rather bloodcurdling hadith that reads as follows: “Judgement Day will not come until the Muslims fight the Jews. The Jews will hide behind the stones and the trees, and the stones and the trees will say, oh Muslim, oh servant of Allah, there is a Jew hiding behind me — come and kill him.”

    Awks, humans and the national elf in this fantasy fiction-themed run-up to Christmas edition

    Years prior to the Brexit referendum Mr AsI already suspected that all that fellow EU countries wanted from UK membership – apart from our cash contribution – was somewhere to export their unemployment and free access to our fishing grounds.

    And that suspicion holds true…

    EU tells Starmer: your Brexit reset is doomed without a better offer on fish and… migration for under 30s (‘i’ newspaper)

    Trump: The Art of the Deal is a 1987 book credited to Donald J. Trump and journalist Tony Schwartz. Part memoir and part business-advice book, it was the first book credited to Trump, and it helped to make him a household name. (Thank you Wiki)

    European diplomatic sources say… they are becoming exasperated by the UK making demands without offering concessions (‘i’ Newspaper) – well, they would say that wouldn’t they?

    A bit of advice for our failing PM Keir Starmer

    11 winning negotiating tactics that are at the heart of The Art of the Deal.

    Number 5. Use your leverage
    “The worst thing you can possibly do in a deal is seem desperate to make it. That makes the other guy smell blood, and then you’re dead.”

    Number 8. Fight back
    “In most cases I’m very easy to get along with. I’m very good to people who are good to me. But when people treat me badly or unfairly or try to take advantage of me, my general attitude, all my life, has been to fight back very hard.”

    Gig Economy
    Fab one. Paul McCartney at Co-op Live in Manchester for his Got Back Tour. The 82-year-old performed songs by the Beatles and Wings (Times)

    Economists for hire
    IHT raid will cost more than it makes… Rachel Reeves’s inheritance tax raid will backfire by costing the Treasury over £1billion more than it makes, economists have said (Telegraph); Experts tell Reeves not to let City off the leash… Fifty economists and experts have issued a stark warning… encouraging the City to expand could threaten financial stability and jeopardise growth (Guardian)

    The “dismal science” indeed. Underlining the nickname for economics that was coined by Scottish historian and essayist Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881).

    Amusingly the Financial Times, the economist’s go-to, is so put out by Donald Trump becoming president again that they diss and poo-poo his market boom at every opportunity: Economists trim Fed rate cut bets over fears Trump policies will fuel inflation (FT); When will the ‘mother of all bubbles pop’ Ruchir Sharma (FT)

    The left-leaning ‘i’ however looks on the bright side in support of our own new Labour administration: Mortgage rates set to drop below 4% in early 2025 – which may simply be the Bank of England’s only lever to pull to mitigate the looming Labour recession.

    If there’s two things that bemuse foreigners about us British it’s our love affair with our failing NHS and our seeming inability to shake off lingering nostagia for outdated past habits – habits that proved not to be that sensible first time round.

    Here’s our two worst traits combined in one headline: Wear a face mask in hospital, urge NHS trusts amid ‘quad-demic’ (Telegraph)

    Cheddar Gorge
    Bronze Age massacre victims likely cannibalised… Scientists have uncovered the aftermath of an “exceptionally violent” attack about 4,000 years ago in Somerset when at least 37 people appear to have been butchered and likely eaten. (BBC) – That’s ‘Awks’ as the kids would tend to text. And are we still insisting ancient Britons were black, like modern Africans?

    First modern Britons had ‘dark to black’ skin, Cheddar Man DNA analysis reveals (Guardian); Cheddar Man: DNA shows early Briton had dark skin (BBC)

    Love is about children and dogs – not partners Trinny Woodall (the anti-family ‘i’ newspaper) – well, at least the kids got a mention.

    Sad cat lady journos over there at the Guardian broaden their horizons somewhat so as to encompass some extra species: Pets we will never forget The dogs, cats and guinea pigs that changed lives

    Apart from BBC staff, the largest demographic of Guardian readership are of course teachers employed in our State schools sector. Naturally the Gruan provides fan service in the form of news reports slanted toward the interests dear to its audience: History lessons Children returned to schools in Damascus yesterday after a week of instability since the fall of President Bashar al-Assad

    Week of instability is putting things a bit mildly. Civil war, armed insurection, regime collaps and Islamist rebel take over in Syria. And to think UK schools habitually close for a week simply due to our first sprinkling of winter snow.

    But if our Guardian reading teachers are looking for a good excuse to break up early this year perhaps they should look instead to take the jokey blokey comic tabloid…

    70mph Atlantic tempest to cause festive hell… The fright before Xmas… Hold on to your Santa hats folks! Storm Eowyn is on the way in the run up to Christmas (Daily Star)

    Who let the Irish name all our storms?

    Fact check on Mr AsI: Éowyn is a fictional character in J. R. R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings. She is a noblewoman of Rohan who describes herself as a shieldmaiden. (Thank you Wiki)

    I suppose there’s a certain poetic sense to our climate alarmist would-be weather weirding agit prop being inspired by fantasy fiction.

    And then there is our noblewoman border shieldmaiden of the elven breed…

      We are proud that Brent is one of the most diverse
      boroughs in the UK. To work effectively in such a
      diverse setting, we need a good understanding of
      all our communities.

      In the 2011 Census, 86.0% of the population of Wembley Central were from black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME)
      backgrounds similar to 63.7% in Brent as a whole. By contrast, 14% of people in England and Wales and 40% of people
      in London were BAME.

      A 2011 school census found that 149 languages
      were spoken in Brent. The national census
      showed that English was the main language in
      77.1% of Wembley Central households. This was
      comparable to 77.6%, the rate for Brent.

      Remember to think about the needs of all local people, including smaller groups such as the lesbian, gay, bisexual and
      transgender (LGBT) community, Gypsies and Travellers, Eastern European and white working class people.

    But the companies failed to specify why they wanted to do this.

    Aigostar and Xiaomi fryers also sent people’s personal data to servers in China.

    Starmer has been asked about Chinese spy H6 at a press conference in Norway:

    “Of course we are concerned about the challenge that China poses. Our approach as you know I had a meeting with the president just a few weeks ago, our approach is one of engagement, of cooperating where we need to cooperate, particularly for example on issues like climate change, to challenge where we must and where we should, particularly on issues like human rights, and to compete when it comes to trade. So that’s the strategic approach that we’ve set out as a UK government I’m not going to comment on on Buckingham Palace or the Royal side.

    Word salad with no condemnation of the Chinese spy and an immediate pivot to cooperation on climate change. Labour’s China tilt is looking more like a bad idea by the minute…

      Where is the report that wordcounts the BBC’s use of “According to the Hamas run health service” ?

      Migrant …. “a person who moves from one place to another in order to find work or better living conditions.”

      Dreamer … a migrant with better dreams than anyone else.

      Irregular … a migrant that is different to those who live in the place they are heading.

      Undocumented .. a migrant who destroyed their documents for some reason.

      Iranian Migrant .. a migrant leaving the wonderful world of Tolerant Islam to live in the Intolerant Western World.

      ‘groomed’ …. There were examples of children who had been doused in petrol and threatened with being set alight, threatened with guns, made to witness brutally violent r*pes and threatened they would be next if they told anyone. Girls as young as 11 were raped by large numbers of male perpetrators. {Jay report}

      Racist…. a word to hide 1400(estimate) child rapes over 16 years in 1 Town.

      Islamophobe …. a word to stop you getting angry when 22 are murdered at a concert and your Prime Minister calls these people LOST.

      Hate Crime .. words to stop you hating the government and leaders.

      Brexit …. a word to describe racists and Islamophobe and people who like to hate things that are stupid.

    I saw to my surprise the other day that positive discrimination is actually illegal – as it should be. Someone is the loser for any type of discrimination. So why are the BBC allowed to do it ?.

      Every year for the last 20 years or so our beloved Bbc has reported a shortage of turkeys for Christmas. Once again, we are not disappointed this year: “Union threatens turkey shortage this Christmas” (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cz0rm8x9x3eo)

      Buried at the bottom of the page is “We expect to meet our Christmas commitments for turkey in full”, so not really a news story at all then.

      It is a Christmas tradition now that such a message will appear. I have long held the belief that the corrupt BBC is in cahoots with the British Turkey Federation, or whatever they are called, to bring to us a story of a Christmas turkey shortage, just to boost sales a bit more. It happens every year, it must be true.

    The ‘British’ Broadcasting Corporation are at it again, I see.

    A day or two ago we had an article on some Indian actor who died in 1988. It was the third article on the website.

    Well, today we have one (at the time of writing) as the 4th article.

    Played the bongos, so he did.

    Not to speak ill of the dead, but why is the BBC turning into the IBC?

    https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cwype77kwyjo

    We also had the BBC’s Isa Guha (while commentating for a satellite tv channel), a ‘high caste’ Indian I believe, referring to the brilliant Indian bowler (see, even I’m at it now!), Jaspirit Bumrah as the ‘MVP’ or… ‘The most valuable primate’ (her words not mine).

    Still, I think her melanin content will protect her from a suspension or sacking, but I could be proved wrong.

    But had David Gower said the same thing, I have no doubt he’d have already been hauled before the courts and chucked in the gulag for 3 years, let alone sacked!

    She said sorry though, so that’s fine (as it should be actually…but for everyone, not just her!)

    TWatO Watch #1 – continuing on the TOADY theme, BBC bashing Bishops

    Makes a change from the BBC bashing Bashar-al-Assad. 😉 The Archbishop of York, Stephen Cottrell is in the firing line on both TOADY and TWatO for his time as Bishop of Chelmsford. It is all to do with the Rev. David Tudor and the fact that Stephen Cottrell (looking very smug in the photo the BBC choose to use) knew that David Tudor should not be left alone in the company of young children.

    “In many parts like Europe[Cambridge University], North America[CNN], Christian’s are getting away from their religious belief, On the contrary among the Muslim Population the faith to their religion is ever increasing [CNN]. Consequently the present so called higher no of Christian population as stated in different sources, practically do not have any significance. It is expected that if present rate of increase of Muslim population continues that by 2030 One out of Three person will be Muslim.

    NEWSPAPER Watch #1 – I have a suspicion when the BBC omit a front page from their newspaper Blog

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/czxdeevk5ljo The missing newspaper is the Dail Mail. I had to go to a supermarket today so I checked to see what the front page had contained that the BBC might choose to omit the Daily Mail. Sure enough! Two items to embarrass a Labour Government. 🙂 Boris Johnson, immediately under the masthead, urging the Brexiteers to Fight, Fight, Fight to save Brexit from being diluted or demolished by Starmer and his cronies.

    Then in another front page item the Chinese man who wangled his way into ‘Prince’ Andrew’s circle should be named urges the Daily Mail. I can see why that may prove embarrassing for the Foreign Secretary and a Labour Government.

    I think the green items costing less this year add up to 29.7% and the price increase items add up to a whopping 44.4%. Then there is the cost of gas and electricity to cook Christmas lunch. Thanks to Putin and Ed Minibrain the cost of cooking the lunch will cost more.
