44 Years Ago Today!!

On November 15th 1980, I moved to New York City. Just a wee bonny, intensely fucked-up, sexually abused, suicidal, heavy drinker/drug-taking, but totally headstrong and fearless-despite-all-fears 20-year-old songwriting lass from Ohio… determined to make Manhattan my home!

And it became my home for nearly 30 years.

Post 9/11, though, NYC changed a lot. It really became a horrible place. And prior to Tuesday, the last time I had been to NYC was in September 2019, just before the plandemic & lockdowns. I was no longer a fan of NYC at that point. I went there mostly for business stuff and to visit friends. But I didn’t enjoy the vibe of Manhattan any more.

The photo above is of the apartment building I lived in during my first marriage — to Chong Foun Kee. The Camelot building on the corner of W.45th & 8th Avenue. We were married at City Hall on April 9th 1981. I took the above photo on Wednesday, when Wayne & I were out walking around. My hotel was 3 blocks from the old apartment building! (And it is still in great shape.) (Whereas, the hustler bar that used to be directly across the street from our window has now been torn down.)

Well, anyway. I am back home now in the Hinterlands, gang, but I am here to tell you that I FELL IN LOVE with NYC all over again!!!! And I cannot wait to go back. And, in essence, make it my second home.

Wow.

The vibe there has officially changed. Again.

And while Spirit Airlines is the “no-frilliest” no frills airline I have ever encountered, it makes flying to and from LaGuardia an absolute breeze. Honestly, gang.

You have to pay extra for EVERYTHING on Spirit airlines, but who fucking cares? Not only did they get me there and back without any hassle at all, they actually arrived a half hour early at both ends of the trip. And at LaGuardia, they have an entire terminal to themselves. It took me, literally, less than 2 minutes to get through Security (with TSA pre-check). And, since it is not part of the main “LaGuardia madness,” it is a breeze to get picked up & dropped off by your car service.

If you have access to Spirit airlines where you live, I can recommend them, as long as you don’t care that there are no frills whatsoever. And, YES, it cost me only $80 each way. (!!!!)

And my no-frills hotel room cost me $155 a night.

Even someone such as MYSELF can readily afford this!!

**************

Okay. So I’m home. [Oh, and PS: I did see Sandra and the new play, but I still can’t post about stuff yet!!]

I did keep on top of all the politics stuff while I was in my no-frills hotel room. And it’s all pretty much the same news now: GREAT, as long as you are not a Deep Stater, or a hardcore Leftist, Neo Marxist, Trump hater.

Oh, and Wayne and I saw a really long line — meaning about 3 blocks long– of what looked like migrants getting on to private buses. With a bunch of official-looking men in bright orange vests, keeping everyone — men, women, children with a ton of luggage — in an organized queue.

Wayne & I just stared at it, you know? It’s really happening, gang. They’re all heading back home. (Although, I’m of the opinion that most of the “migrants” were from South American Central Casting and were harmless and easily traceable with their White-Hat-sanctioned cellphones…)

Anyway. Trump and the White Hats really are already Making New York City Great Again!! And I can’t wait to go back.

***************

So the news is brief today.

Before I forget, Phil is supposed to do a livestream this evening. I think it will be at 7PM, but check here later to confirm. He says it is good news!

**************

This shocked the hell out of me.

I read it while waiting for my plane to leave for NYC.

From Real Raw News — November 11th:

Deep Stater Jack Smith Convicted of Treason and Executed at GITMO

Deep Stater and Trump hater Jack Smith was executed at Guantanamo Bay on Friday after being convicted of treason at a military tribunal on November 4. […]

[…] Admiral Crandall presented evidence showing that Smith had received from the DOJ a $4.2 million stipend and $86,000/day per diem during the time he investigated President Trump. He also produced documents, obtained from Smith’s digital devices, proving Smith had a personal vendetta against Trump. […]

[…] Admiral Crandall told Smith the Deep State’s warfare and lawfare against Trump was at an end and that all like him would eventually face tribunals. He even said to Smith that the Deep State was retiring his body double and abandoning its indictment of Trump.

“You’ve lost, detainee Smith,” the admiral said. “You were destined to lose.” […]”

ALSO — from today:

Marines Arrest Mayorkas

On November 10, White Hats caught up with and arrested a man they had sought since the day the illegal Biden regime appointed him secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. The White Hat council referred to him as the “Queen of Spades,” the third most wanted felon in the White Hat’s deck of Deep State despots […]

White Hats last week rejoiced upon hearing that Alejandro Mayorkas was in custody awaiting a flight to Guantanamo Bay.

The arrest, a source in General Eric M. Smith’s office told Real Raw News, occurred in Chantilly, Virginia, a mile south of Dulles International Airport, where Mayorkas deboarded a commercial flight from Dubai. U.S. Marines possessing Mayorkas’ itinerary intercepted his chauffeured limousine on U.S. Route 50 as Mayorkas, the driver, and a bodyguard traveled from the airport to Alexandria.  […]”

And in other news!

I love this!! Patti Hansen (Keith’s wife) took this photo of Keith on their recent trip aboard the Orient Express!!! (And just FYI — it has always been a dream of mine to travel on the Orient Express, gang. And preferably not the no-frills version!)

************

Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds played 2 explosive shows in Dublin while I was gone. Tonight they play Birmingham (buy tickets here),

Sunday night, November 17th, the Wild God Tour of Europe & the UK ends in Paris!! But the show is sold out.

And our Daily Feature!!

What Would Keith Richards Do?

Our random selection comes once again from Chapter Five: Daily Affirmations, and the topic is EMPIRE. And it is typical explosive Keith!!

In regards to why the British Government didn’t offer him a knighthood, Keith replied:

“They know what I would’ve said…they knew I’d tell them where they could put it.”

I’m guessing that you will remember these resounding words if ever you don’t get a British knighthood, so take heart, gang. You’re in good company!

***********

And that is it for today!!

I have back-to-back doubles again this weekend, but they don’t start super early, so I will probably still be able to post to the blog in the morning.

Enjoy your Friday, wherever you are in the world!

Thanks for visiting.

I love you guys. See ya!!

**********

I leave you with this, gang!!

For some reason, this song is how I feel about NYC now — as if it were a person, a living thing. In a way, it is!! I played it on my phone yesterday morning, alone in my hotel room, packed and getting ready to go back to the airport, and it actually left a tear streaming out of my eye…

So here’s to the wee bonny gal I was, 44 years ago today!!!

From 1967, the folk classic by Peter, Paul & Mary, “Leaving On A Jet Plane” (written by John Denver). Enjoy, gang.

A Bunch of Stuff!

Wayne and I went to Johnny Depp’s art exhibit this afternoon—“A Bunch of Stuff…”

Wow. Intense. Not a “feel good” kind of thing, but I was sort of expecting that.

We enjoyed it, though. Well, we were glad we went and we went through it twice and then bought magnets and postcards in the gift shop!

From the exhibit!!

We are resting in my room now and then Japanese food for dinner! Then off to see Sandra’s play!🥰❤️🥰

Good Morning from NYC!

Valerie and I had a great time yesterday. We had a 3-hr lunch together. Pizza!! Yay. But then she had to head back to Brooklyn because the traffic in this town is a nightmare. It took her 2 hours to drive back to Brooklyn from Times Square.

We hadn’t seen each other in 5 years(!!!), so 3 hours did not feel like enough. But I promised her that now that Trump is back, I would be coming back to NYC more often.

Also, I realized yesterday, while waiting on the corner of W48th and 8th Avenue for the light to change— I am only 3 blocks away from where Chong and I lived when we were married!!! I was sort of dumbfounded by this. Everything looked familiar and yet so much had also changed.

Okay!! Today I have lunch with Wayne, then Johnny Depp’s art exhibit in Chelsea, then dinner, and then we will finally get to see Sandra in the new play!!!!

Have a great Wednesday, gang, wherever you are in the world!!! Thanks for visiting. I love you guys!!!!💖🗽💖 See ya!

*********

I leave you with the view from my hotel room!😂🤣😂 No matter which city or which hotel, I always get the best views!!

I’m Here!!!

The flight arrived at LaGuardia Airport half an hour early! But that’s only because we had a really strong wind behind us and intense turbulence almost the entire way!🤣

The hotel let me check in early for a fee, but they gave me a free room upgrade! The room is totally suitable but the hotel is OLD and the lobby feels like a migrant hotel!!

Oh well. I’m here and I’m excited.

Waiting on Valerie from Brooklyn to meet me here for lunch.

Celebrate Veterans Today

It is Veterans Day here in the States. And as it turns out, I have TONS of veterans in my family, going back to the Revolutionary War. (Even including, in my adoptive family, a great-great uncle who served in the Russian Imperial Guard before emigrating to the US in 1904.)

Today is also: a.) my day off; and b.) the day before I leave for NYC, so I am really, really busy today.

I’ve already run all my errands and done half the laundry. Next, I have to clean this insane house, and then pack my suitcase (not much to pack, since I will barely be gone 2 and 1/2 days). Then yoga, wash hair, eat dinner and collapse in front of a re-run of “Mrs. Brown’s Boys” before calling it a night and then getting up at 4:30am tomorrow morning.

There is seriously not much news. Everything, on all sides, is turning into a bunch of speculation about what is coming next. And the “news” that is more mainstream, and the constant Q updates, deltas, etc., could not be more dissimilar. It makes your head spin, how far apart everything is.

But we are getting there, gang. Every day, a little bit from the Q side of things, starts matching up with what is finally becoming public. Yay.

I leave you with this beautiful thing!!! More from Andrea Bocelli.

It is not from the 30th Celebration film that we saw the other night, but it is from this past summer and in the film, Andrea Bocelli and his daughter, Virginia, sing this same duet and it was just stunning. The Leonard Cohen classic, “Hallelujah”. Enjoy.

Happy Rainy Sunday!!

Just a quick post before I head out.

I’m doing another double today, but both shifts are with the same patient so I don’t have to do a lot of driving around today.

It’s a rainy autumn day here, so it’s a nice day to not do a lot of driving around.

The only thing I really wanted to post today was the replay of Phil’s live last night, in case you missed it! He had some interesting intel, all of it good — unless, of course, you’re part of the Deep State and heading to gitmo…. then, maybe, not so good.

Start – November 9th, 2024 (1 hr 34 mins):

As expected, Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds played 2 shows in London that appeared to be just jaw-dropping!

There were tons of photos and videos, but I have been just really exhaustingly busy so here is just one of the photos, from the first night:

And then this also happened:

**********

Kara and I saw this on Friday night and it was just glorious. Stunningly beautiful, gang. What a great film.

**************

And that is it for now.

I’ll be back tomorrow morning. I have the day off, but I will be cleaning house, running a few quick errands and then packing my suitcase for NYC!!!! I leave for the airport early Tuesday morning. I already have a bazillion butterflies crammed into my wee bonny tummy!!!

Have a great Sunday, wherever you are in the world.

Thanks for visiting.

I love you guys! See ya!

This is a much older performance, but he sang this in the 30th Anniversary celebration film and our hearts were just soaring, gang. Absolutely breathless. Enjoy.

Quick Friday Update

Charlie Kirk posted this and I wanted to share it!

“Three days since Donald Trump’s historic landslide and already….

– The EU says it wants to buy American natural gas to avoid Trump’s tariffs.

– Putin says he will sell Russian oil in US Dollars.

– Hamas is calling for peace.

– Zelenskyy held a private phone call with President Trump and Elon Musk

– Mexico broke up a migrant caravan heading for America.

Nature is healing.”

Awesome, gang!!

Interesting Stuff!

Well, now that the election win has come to pass, it’s curious to see just how many of the optics of the last year or so are finally fading away — or getting ready to. It is so good to see this.

There’s not much “news”. But still there’s some interesting stuff happening.

From Mike King’s Anti-New York Times for today, “Deep Fake Schiff Wins US Senate Seat“:

“[…] The confirmation of the fact that a film still in production for the foreseeable future was just evidenced by the election of Mossad asset, Trump nemesis, and evil pedosexual Congressman Adam Schiff (D-CA) to the U.S. Senate. White Hat Productions chose to have this cadaver win a race against California baseball legend Steve Garvey — who really didn’t even try to win because that wasn’t part of the script.

Schiff is a former federal prosecutor and 12-term congressman who rose to prominence as Israel’s Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee. In that powerful position, he led the first phony impeachment inquiry into Trump. That role made him a hero among the Marxist crowd. So, there’s no way this child-raping, suspected murderer, Trump-obsessed traitor is still around. Yet, Deep Fake “Adam Schiff” — who really looks “different” lately — will be sworn in as a US Senator, come January — which means that the show goes on. […]

Phil is planning a livestream for tonight, but no time has been announced yet. Check here later to confirm.

Meanwhile, true to his word, Phil has been posting a variety of posts from other truthers’ channels. You can click here and scroll.

Meanwhile, here are a couple of them:

From TrumpIntel Livandu Our Family:

NEW: Putin says the new world order has become the thing of the past.

‘To a certain extent, the moment of truth is coming. The previous world order is irreversibly becoming a thing of the past. One can say it has become a thing of the past and the shaping of the new world order has become the scene of uncompromising fight. Uncompromising, first and foremost, for the reason that it’s not even the battle for power or geopolitical influence. It’s a clash of the very principals that would be the foundation between the relations of the countries at the next historical stage. Its outcome will define whether all of us, jointly, can build a world that would allow everyone to develop and to solve the outstanding contradictions based on mutual respect of cultures and civilization without coercion and use of force.'”

From Lin Wood:

“You can lose 12+++ million voters from one election to the next IF those voters never existed in the first place.

Just sayin.’

Lin 🙏🇺🇸❤️”

Also, re: Deep Fakes. When you see the vile stuff on TV from (fake) NY AG Letitia James, remember this from Real Raw News, November 2, 2023:

Letitia James Arrested

United States Navy JAG investigators on Tuesday arrested New York Attorney General Letitia James of treason and other high crimes and misdemeanors following an investigation that began shortly after she and her criminal associates filed a frivolous lawsuit against the Trump Organization…”

Our Daily Feature!

What Would Keith Richards Do?

Well, our random selection came, once again, from Chapter Five: Daily Affirmationshowever (!!), it came from the Special Bonus Section: Insults (!!).

Keith Richards has publicly insulted a heck of a lot of people over the decades, and he seems to have been especially fond of insulting Mick Jagger and Chuck Berry.

Today’s selection covers both!!

Keith says about Chuck Berry:

“He gave me more headaches than Mick Jagger.”

I’m not sure how this fits, exactly, into a “daily affirmation”, but perhaps it can give you much needed clarity on something personal for you that I can’t possibly know anything about!!

**************

Meanwhile, on the home front–

Shit, gang. I have so much to do today. To get ready for NYC and meetings with theatrical producers and seeing Sandra in the new play.

My tummy is in a twirl and I am really just sort of intensely wound up. I keep feeling like calling Kara and cancelling the “dinner & a movie” tonight, but I’m thinking that isn’t fair to her or me, because I really need to just go out and have fun once in a while…

Okay. So, I gotta get started here. I might not be around over the weekend, because I work 2 double shifts, back to back.

Enjoy your Friday, wherever you are in the world.

Thanks for visiting.

I love you guys. See ya!

***********

Okay! I leave you with the song that was going over & over & over in my head when I awoke this morning at 4:30AM, try as I did to get it to stop!!!!

“Accidents Will Happen” by Elvis Costello & the Attractions, from Armed Forces, 1979. Enjoy, gang!!!

“Accidents Will Happen”

[Verse 1]
Oh, I just don’t know where to begin
Though he says he’ll wait forever, it’s now or never
But she keeps him hanging on, the silly champion
She says she can’t go home without a chaperone

[Chorus]
Accidents will happen, we only hit and run
He used to be your victim, now you’re not the only one
Accidents will happen, we only hit and run
I don’t wanna hear it ’cause I know what I’ve done

[Verse 2]
There’s so many fish in the sea
That only rise up in the sweat and smoke like mercury
But they keep you hanging on, they say you’re so young
Your mind is made up, but your mouth is undone

[Chorus]
Accidents will happen, we only hit and run
He used to be your victim, now you’re not the only one
Accidents will happen, we only hit and run
I don’t wanna hear it ’cause I know what I’ve done

[Bridge]
And it’s the damage that we do and never know
It’s the words that we don’t say that scare me so

[Verse 3]
There’s so many people to see
So many people you can check up on and add to your collection
But they keep you hanging on until you’re well hung
Your mouth is made up, but your mind is undone

[Chorus]
Accidents will happen, we only hit and run
He used to be your victim, now you’re not the only one
Accidents will happen, we only hit and run
I don’t wanna hear it ’cause I know what I’ve
I know what I’ve, I know what I’ve done

[Outro]
I know, I know
I know, I know
