“One has to persevere; perhaps the pleasure is yet to come.” Victor Klemperer having learnt to drive and bought a highly unreliable second hand car, causing him great anguish, in his 50’s in Nazi Germany. But perhaps a more general sentiment.

You can take all the corruption from every single US administration in history, add it all together, and it will not equal the amount of corruption committed by the Trump Regime in less than two years.

Vaccines have worked so well, that most people alive today have never watched their young child die of a disease that killed millions. Historically, 1/3 of children didn't live to reach their 5th birthday. The last man living in an iron lung due to Polio died in 2024, at age 72.

Charles' visit to DC was a smashing success because the British public needed to hear him tell Trump to shove it; the British govt needed Trump to hear that Charles thinks the world of him; and Charles managed to say the former in such an impeccably British manner that Trump heard the latter.

A chart showing what the British say, what they mean and what Americans think they mean.

The most salient being:

I hear what you say; I disagree and do not want to discuss it further; he accepts my point of view.

With the greatest respect; I think you are an idiot; he is listening to me.

Oh, by the way; the primary purpose of our discussion is ...; that is not very important.

And, you must come to dinner; it's not an invitation, I'm just being polite; I will get an invitation soon.

Part of trying to get on quietly and diplomatically in life and not clash with people is keeping up the pretence that fuckwits don’t walk among us in the world, but sometimes you just have to face up to the reality of the situation: Fuckwits do walk among us in the world, and they are not thin on the ground.

Some jawdropping CBP crime statistics here...

Criminality is so rampant inside CBP that it has seen one of its own agents or officers arrested every 24 to 36 hours since 2005. CBP’s misconduct scandal is so long-running that today it would be old enough to drink.

In total, according to CBP’s own discipline reports, over the 20 years from 2005 to 2024 — the last year numbers are available — at least 4,913 CBP officers and Border Patrol agents have been arrested themselves, some multiple times. (In 2018 alone, a single CBP employee was arrested five times.) To put that number in perspective:

• The population of CBP agents and officers who have been arrested would make it roughly the nation’s fourth largest police department — equal to the size of the entire Philadelphia police.

• Indeed, for much of the 2010s and likely before and since, it appears the crime rate of CBP agents and offices was higher PER CAPITA than the crime rate of undocumented immigrants in the United States.

Folks, I would love to get back to writing about Music for you all. Our country is in turmoil. If you watch FOX, try another channel for your news for just one day.
Untruths are abounding on FOX. New York Times used to be where I went for news. Now I go to 'The Guardian'. I suggest you give it a try. Forget the news
"shows" on Media. They are all about posers and good looks. Remember "News Programs"? where it was not all about posing. America needs some truth. Not media obsessed with satisfying
everybody. CNN? Trash mostly. Look deeper. There is real coverage. Go to independent journalism. Get some relief from white washed 'news shows'.
Love Earth, Be well,
Neil

Trump is a liar. A conscienceless, malignant, chronic liar. Truth is simply not a value for him. That he says a thing is no reason to believe it is true. He inhabits a different universe from honest, credible people. Journalists: stop reporting what he says as if it might be true.
