@MAJ1 no snow here yet but they promise it later, and colder too. At the moment it's just continuing rain. BAH.

Another wet day. When will it end?

The shooter was an 18 year old trans woman and she had killed her mother and brother before attacking the school. Sadly, there was ongoing and known mental disturbance in her life, and I feel sad not only for the victims but she also, who shot herself before she could be arrested.

How does it happen?
Last night I suddenly woke, looked at my watch and it was 3.33. Thereafter I lay awake, and couldn't persuade myself to feel sleepy.
I also wondered if perhaps the end of this sleepless period would be 4.44. And it was.
So not only was I annoyed at being awake all that time, but also bemused by the timing.

BREAKING: The Trump admin shot down what they believed to be a Mexican cartel drone near El Paso — but it turned out to be party balloon.

All airspace over El Paso, Texas shut down for 10 days due to national defense. What’s going on?

Will somebody please turn the taps off!! Waking up to yet more rain. Even the visiting badgers have stayed away from our garden, and the birds look miserable. Flooding everywhere.

Sky News: Why is the UK so wet? The 'blocking' phenomenon causing rain to 'stall' over the country.

The names of the abusers are in the files. There are graphic descriptions of what they did with underage girls. Where are the arrests? Where are the prosecutions?

We’re all just supposed to pretend this is ok and allow them all to walk away?

Society is over. Literal pedophiles can have sex with your children, retain their place in society, and not suffer any consequences.

The #Epstein class needs to be permanently abolished. Prosecute them, take their assets, and lock them in jail forever. Every. Single. One.

Horrific shooting at a school in western Canada, and another nearby at a home which police believe is linked.
Ten people are dead in total, including the suspect.

The shooting took place in Tumbler Ridge, a small town in British Columbia with a population of around 2,400 people;
Six people were found dead inside the school, while another victim died while being taken to hospital. At least 25 others were injured;

Trump’s infamous White House ballroom and bunker have been scrapped by a federal Judge and the national preservation committee.
The $400 million in ballroom donor money has either disappeared, or simply never existed.
The original East Wing was built in 1902 and renovated in 1942. Now it lays in ruins, and it can never be replaced.
Trump can’t put his ballroom there either. But he *did* pocket $400 million in bribes from his “donors” to build it.

Phew, nearly 4 o clock and I haven't stopped yet... do this, do that, check this, collect that... I just want to stop.
Every time I think I have done everything, something else demands my attention.
Now I am eating a chocolate eclair and hoping nothing interrupts me.

Everything has to be named after #Trump. I hope they will refuse him this time.

Why doesn't everyone think of this? I know it never occurred to me before.

Two down, how many more to go?

Reporter Hannah Natanson has been writing articles about the corruption of the Trump regime. The result: Now Trump has sent the FBI to raid her home and seize all her devices, so they can identify her sources.

The insightful Liz Oyer has the story: https://youtube.com/shorts/2CkE7YXpaL4?si=sGiMkyEo3HiuNWo8

You have heard of course that Mandelson has been thrown off the bus because of his Involvement with Epstein, but I thought the Epstein attraction was girls, and unless Mandelson swings both ways that would not appeal to him. I really don't know.

@MAJ1
Better than yours Maj?? Ha, nobody is better (except me of course, that goes without saying). Maj rules.

Well, surprise... for some unknown reason I have been banned on Facebook. I guess someone didn't like a comment, or something else equally petty. I think I should be proud and pleased really.
