I actually remained, for several hours, snuggled in bed because it was quite chilly this morning! And all the many cats around here said: “Do you think you could close these fucking windows??!! We’re freezing!!!”
But the answer was no, because I just felt that having all these cool breezes filling the house could help get rid of the spectre of all those recent FLEAS.

Okay, there is not much news today.
From Charlie Ward’s newsletter yesterday:
“Massive increases in coral across the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) have been reported for 2023-24, marking the third consecutive year of record growth. Nearly all parts of the 1,500-mile-long reef have reached their highest coral levels since detailed observations began. Despite this significant recovery, mainstream media has largely ignored the news, instead focusing on a recent Nature article claiming climate change poses an “existential threat” to the GBR. Professor Helen McGregor from the University of Wollongong and the Guardian echoed these sentiments, despite the clear evidence of coral resurgence.”

“Wildflowers”
You belong among the wildflowers You belong in a boat out at sea Sail away, kill off the hours You belong somewhere you feel free
Run away, find you a lover Go away somewhere all bright and new I have seen no other Who compares with you
You belong among the wildflowers You belong in a boat out at sea You belong with your love on your arm You belong somewhere you feel free
Run away, go find a lover Run away, let your heart be your guide You deserve the deepest of cover You belong in that home by and by
You belong among the wildflowers You belong somewhere close to me Far away from your trouble and worries You belong somewhere you feel free You belong somewhere you feel free
The United States Navy Judge Advocate General’s Corps has indicted vice presidential candidate and Minnesota Governor Tim Walz on charges of defrauding the US, mischaracterizing his military service, and seditious conspiracy, Real Raw News has learned.
A JAG source told RRN that Vice Admiral Crandall himself authored the indictment after Kamala Harris named Walz as her running mate Tuesday morning, adding that JAG had been monitoring Walz’s political aspirations since the George Floyd riots of 2020 when Walz allowed ANTIFA and BLM activists to pillage and torch Minneapolis for two days before finally calling on the National Guard to restore order—too little, too late. Twenty-five deaths and two billion dollars in damages are attributable to the nationwide riots, which precipitated a national debate on racial injustice and defunding local and statewide law enforcement agencies.

I was called into a 9am “emergency meeting” this morning at the train station, and I knew that couldn’t possibly be good. So I went in, prepared to resign, and I did.
So not only do I have a week’s vacation in front of me, I kind of have a wide open world of who knows what kinds of opportunities in front of me. Starting right now.

Okay.
From yesterday — this was incredible! I was really just dumbfounded by it, from start to finish. I definitely came from the school of “understanding” that Nixon was guilty of all kinds of stuff.

“Ambassador to the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield Hanged at GITMO
United States Ambassador to the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield was hanged to death at Guantanamo Bay Monday morning, a GITMO source told Real Raw News.
As reported, the globalist was arrested, arraigned, tried, and convicted on charges of plotting to allow UN “Peacekeepers” to superintend voting locations in battleground states on Election Day 2024. She had said UN troops were needed in the US to stop MAGA insurgents from intimidating or harming Blue voters protecting Biden’s presidency—this was prior to Biden, or his body double, cowardly suspending his campaign.

And I believe that is it for today.
On the home front —
I actually was able to get through to a human being at the IRS the other day. You know how I did it? I went to Reddit and someone there posted a step-by-step way to get an actual human being on the phone at the IRS.
And I was only on hold for about 4 mins.
And I offered to pay $25 a month until, basically, I die (or NASARA kicks in), and they approved it. This has never ever happened to me before. Usually you have to agree to pay way more than that! And over 12 months.
She was very casual and friendly. And I don’t have to start paying until October. And the tax lien will be removed from my house ….
All righty.
Enjoy your Thursday, wherever you are in the world.
Yes, please create your own title for this post today, because I’m drawing a blank…
The blessings that are happening around here today:
1. A very nice break from the extreme heat.
2. ALL 723 of my cats are currently flea-free…and so far, no fleas have jumped on me since early yesterday morning. [UPDATE: A flea just jumped on me; it was living in my desk drawer!]
3.After today, I’m pretty sure I have an entire week off from the train station. We’ll see how that pans out as the week goes on.

In other news!
Nick Cave sent out a Red Hand File this morning. A reader wrote in and asked him if he ever worried about being on the wrong side of history, and what his favorite podcast might be. Nick answered, in part:
“…Tom Holland and Dominic Sandbrook’s The Rest is History. This splendid podcast shows us that history is extraordinarily complicated and rarely draws a clean line between right and wrong, good and evil. Much of history seems to be a violent collision of good intentions, and sometimes what appears ethically obvious today has its way of turning tomorrow….”
“A U.S. federal court ruled that Google violated antitrust laws so it could maintain its monopoly power in online search, creating a barrier to entry for its competitors. This is a victory for the Justice Department, which filed its lawsuit against Google almost four years ago under the Trump administration. The court’s decision will likely start a separate proceeding to determine Google’s penalties.” [more]

Meanwhile, on the personal front….
Have you tried to get in touch with the IRS lately??? It is impossible! Even when you owe them money and they keep sending you skyrocketing bills, you cannot get through to them — either by phone (impossible to find the right number), chatbot (they suddenly terminate you even after you’ve been waiting for 20 minutes – twice), letters — they ignore those completely.
Hmmmm.….
(And just FYI, last night, when someone asked Phil if the IRS was still around, he said “no.” But when they’re telling you they’ve put a tax lien on your house, you kind of want to keep trying to contact them.)
