Interesting. An extract:

“Mr Biden would isolate at his home in Delaware while carrying out “all of his duties fully”, said Karine Jean-Pierre. She added that the president was vaccinated and boosted. He has tested positive for Covid twice before.”

Our thanks to Martin for the following.

“The text of the King’s speech is here. The end of paragraph 12:

“My Government will bring forward plans to halve violence against women and girls.”

For context, the Government has an objective to halve ‘serious violence’, see page 56, bullet 1 of the background material (104 pages). Further detail on page 59 , bullets 2,3, page 62, bullets 2 (especially sub-bullet 2), 3, and page 63, bullets 4,5. 

As far as ‘violence against women and girls’ specifically is concerned, questions which may be of interest to J4MB supporters include: 

1. What happens to ‘Male victims of Crimes considered to be violence against women and girls’, by the Home Office, are those victims therefore to be included in the target to halve these offences , (given those offences include some particularly heinous crimes?), and
2. Will men and boys be protected from all acts (of gender based violence) ‘that result in, or are likely to result in physical, sexual, psychological, or economic harm or suffering..’ (Istanbul Convention Article 3(a) extract), by being included in the halving target?”

A hilarous piece of BS in The Canberra Times.

Two days ago, in the wake of the failed assassination attempt against Donald Trump, we published Kimberly Cheatle, Director of the United States Secret Service. There can be no doubt that the attempt represents a nearly catastrophic failure by the US Secret Service. Eli, a former leader of J4MB when we were a political party, writes:

“The Cheetoh Lady who runs the Secret Service told an interviewer that they actually did recognise that the now infamous roof was a vulnerability – but they decided that they could not post snipers up there because it has a slight slant, and that’s just not within Health and Safety requirements for Secret Service operatives, apparently. Glenn Greenwald made a hilarious point: not only was Ree Tardy Oswald able to climb up and do what he needed to quite safely, but even when he was finally fucking shot, his corpse didn’t roll a fucking inch!

Is it because they’re all in heels now? I must admit, sometimes I struggle standing on flat ground in mine.

She might be better suited to the HR dept!”

Appalling. The woman was paid £11,000 as an employee of the HMRC. She stole £305,952, equivalent to about £131,000 p.a. during the course of her 28 months sentence, almost 12x what she earned as an employee. Nice ‘work’ if you can get it. This isn’t punishment, this is a very generous reward for crime, and plenty of women will surely be incentivised by this and other similar cases of obscene leniency being shown to female criminals. In addition, there’s the cost to the taxpayer – mainly men – of her imprisonment.

In a sane worls, the woman would be given the options of:

(a) working in a f/t job and 100% of her earnings given to repaying HMRC until she’d repaid double the sum she stole, or

(b) remain in prison indefinitely.

From the article:

“Mr Lane [J4MB: her husband’s lawyer] added that references for his client included one from a reverend, who he said spoke of him as “a trustworthy member of the congregation” at his local church and was trusted to run the parish’s administration.”

You couldn’t make this s*** up…

Tragic.

I’ve just ordered the Kindle edition of Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis (2016) by JD Vance, The Donald’s running mate. The book’s Wikipedia page is here, the Amazon UK page to order here. Ron Howard (Richie Cunningham in Happy Days) directed a film (2020) based on the book, Wiki page here.

An interesting piece (video, 14:16) published by TalkTV earlier today. The $64,000 question, why did the Secret Service and/or the police not shoot the man long before he fired his almost fatal shots?
