CHARLIE WARD DAILY NEWS WITH DREW DEMI THURSDAY 12TH SEPTEMBER 2024 (10 mins):

Code Monkey Z had a ton of news items worth looking at on his substack this morning. Here is the link to the complete list.

***********

From Real Raw News :

“JAG Convicts Alvin Bragg

9/03/2024 — GITMO

Three US Navy officers last Tuesday unanimously convicted Alvin Bragg of treason and recommended he face a noose for having betrayed his oath of office, defrauded the country, and used the district attorney’s office to wage a personal vendetta against President Donald J. Trump.

As reported previously, Alvin Bragg was arrested by the US Army Criminal Investigation Division in June and sent to Guantanamo Bay for interrogation. Expectedly, he wasn’t cooperative and had insisted that his office’s charges against President Trump were legitimate, lawful, and unbeatable.

JAG saw the situation differently: Bragg weaponized his office to violate the Constitutional and Legal Rights of President Donald J. Trump, handpicked biased judges, and stacked grand juries with Deep State sympathizers eager to indict an innocent man. […]

[…] They found him guilty of treason and lesser charges and told Adm. Crandall that Bragg ought to be hanged for his crimes, a judgment the admiral said was reasonable and just.

Bragg shook his head as the verdict was read but said nothing.

The admiral scheduled his execution for September 17.”

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

In other news…

I heard from the “real” mom of my 5 foster cats this morning, and things are not going very well for them right now. So the little cats will still remain here indefinitely.

On the screenplay front — I sent off some new pages to Sandra late yesterday afternoon. She’s really busy with rehearsals right now but I hope to hear back from her by the weekend. I’m really liking how this screenplay adaptation for “The Guide to being Fabulous” is shaping up, gang.

My paperback copy of my new book, A Man in her Arms & Other Stories, arrived yesterday! I’m really happy with how it looks. It’s 170 pages, and contains 3 novellas and 7 short stories, for US $15.28.

It went into global distribution yesterday, so it will take a while for it to reach all the various online bookstores, the world over. But it is on its way.

Yesterday, Barnes & Noble announced that it will no longer be carrying most types of erotic literature in their stores anymore. (I’m guessing that tame erotic romances will be all they’re going to be willing to tolerate.) The market has changed enormously since I first began writing erotica.

This morning, I realized that A Man in her Arms & Other Stories is my 20th book, gang! 20 books that I either authored or edited . (This doesn’t count the dozens of books I contributed stories or essays to — just the books I did myself, and/or for various publishers around the world). I found this kind of astonishing. Where did the time go???

Okay. That is it for today! I have patients to go to today, tomorrow, Sunday, and Monday — so the agency is starting to keep me busy.

Enjoy your Thursday, wherever you are in the world.

Thanks for visiting.

I love you guys! See ya!!

You probably saw Phil’s post from last evening — he re-scheduled his livestream for tonight so that we can all watch the (fake) debate together.

I was not planning on watching that debate, but I guess, now I will. Or as much of it as I can stand.

I’m guessing Phil will go live right when the debate gets underway, but confirm that later at the above link.

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

An interesting summary of Alan Dershowitz. Posted to Charlie Ward‘s channel.

🍿 Let’s connect some dots here to show that Alan Dershowitz has been put into submission and is working for Trump and the Military.

👉 We know Dershowitz was a lifelong Democrat

👉 We know Dershowitz was Jeffrey Epstein’s defense attorney.

👉 We know Dershowitz was on the Epstein Island list that Q posted in drop #4577

👉 We know Dershowitz was outed by the Epstein Island victims in their testimony as having received “massages” on the Island.

👉 On April 11, 2018 Q posted:

Thank you ALAN.
Welcome aboard.
Freedom!

👉👉 Therefore I do believe we have received a clear of evidence that points to the fact that Alan Dershowitz was put into submission way back in 2018, hence his turn towards Trump after being against him in the 2016 election cycle.

Remember he defended Trump in the 2020 impeachment trial.

Now he’s suddenly “leaving the Democrat party”.

And news from the homefront.

This morning, at 10AM, I have to be glued to my laptop for about 3 chaotic minutes, because that’s when those pre-sale tickets for Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds in Columbus on May 2nd will go on sale.

I hate these types of things because the tickets sellout in a nanosecond so you have to just click on any tickets you can see and hope that they will still be available.

It’s a frenzy. And then it’s over.

After that, I have a new patient for the rest of the day. I was reading over her care assessment notes last night and I noticed what could be a typo — the notes claim she is 4 inches tall!!!

I’m guessing it was supposed to read: 5’4″ and only the 4″ part made it onto the form. But if she is only 4 inches tall, my job today will be a piece of cake!!!

Okay. That’s it for now.

A couple of weeks ago, I was ordering something on Amazon when an alert popped up, telling me that “one of the items on my wish list had a price drop.”

So I checked to see what it was and — lo! & behold — I had forgotten this was even on my wish list! It’s been on there for years. Literally. So I thought, wow, I should buy that! And I did.

It arrived yesterday from a record store in the UK.

Wow, gang. Is this a beautiful, beautiful recording. I am so happy I finally bought it.

Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, Live at the Royal Albert Hall, 1997. I have not stopped playing it since its arrival yesterday.

Here is a sample. “Lime Tree Arbor.” One of my favorite songs by Nick Cave. Okay. Enjoy!

Quiet Monday. What’s up with that?

I guess we’ll see what happens as the day unfolds, gang. But as of now, news sources have very little news.

Even Keyboard Operator had only one news roundup from last night, and it is only ten minutes!

From Dan Scavino — NESARA and Medbeds, perhaps??

“FINALLY, with the success of President Trump’s plan to defeat inflation, make America affordable again, and reignite explosive economic growth, he will create America’s own Sovereign Wealth fund to invest in great national endeavors for the benefit of all the American People. This fund will help build extraordinary national development projects, everything from highways to airports to the transportation infrastructure of the future. The United States will be able to invest in state-of-the-art manufacturing hubs, advanced defense capabilities, and cutting-edge medical research, helping save billions of dollars by preventing disease in the first place. A second Trump Administration will invest in new and modern agriculture techniques so we can have safe, healthy, high-quality foods for our families. This wealth fund will return a gigantic profit which will help pay down the national debt.

Honestly, that’s really it.

Not a peep out of Phil for several days, so that means something is definitely up. Way too quiet.

Stock market hasn’t opened yet today, but it was in the red, all across the board, at close of day Friday, so we’ll see.

If something curious pops up, I’ll come back later and post it.

A really stunning day here, gang. Although it went down to 41 degrees Fahrenheit during the night. I actually have the furnace on already and it’s only September 8th.

However. It is still just a gorgeous day.

I plan on spending most of it at my desk, working on various projects. But I will definitely take a walk at some point and take in the splendid vistas!! (The village I live in is in a valley of the ~~dolls~~ foothills of the Appalachian mountains.)

On the Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds Wild God tour front (see yesterday’s post) — I still cannot get that pre-sale form to work!!! (Where they send you a code to use to buy the best seats before they go on sale to the public). I keep filling it out and I never ever ever get the verification code sent to my phone!!!! And I have emailed the admin a couple times. I’m hoping that maybe they just took the weekend off…

A great song that will finally be included in the upcoming re-release of Long After Dark by Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers. “Keeping me Alive,” 1982.

Allegedly, the Heartbreakers wanted this song on the original album but it got nixed by Jimmy Iovine, the producer. Tom Petty’s estate included it on the posthumous An American Treasure collection after Tom died. I love this song. It’s a great song to listen to while driving out on the backroads. Okay. Enjoy, gang!!

What a great day!

Little by little, my schedule is already accumulating more patients. So that’s a good thing. In a few days, I should be able to get adjusted to this new job and split my schedule nicely between doing the senior caregiver job part-time and getting back to my writing.

For whatever reason, the potential part-time publishing job seems to have evaporated. Not sure what happened there. I was supposed to talk to them yesterday, after they had already postponed the interview once.

Anyway!

More good news!!!

Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds announced the dates for their North American Wild God Tour yesterday, and in the most unlikeliest of unlikely events –!!! — they are playing Columbus, Ohio this time around.

I do not think they have ever played Columbus, Ohio, ever.

I don’t like Columbus, but it’s a lot closer than Cleveland.

I immediately texted Kara to see if she wanted to go and she texted back, “Definitely!! And let’s get a room!”

So we will likely go for dinner, the concert, and stay over in a hotel.

So nice that I don’t have to go alone this time!!!

The frustrating news is that there’s a special form to fill out in order to get a pre-sale code, to get a chance at the best seats by buying early, but the form is not working!!!!!! Maybe it is just overwhelmed with people trying to get pre-sale codes today. We shall see!

I forgot to post this yesterday. I found it really amusing.

From disclose.tv:

“Putin says he wants Harris to win 2024 election

[…] Putin humorously mentioned Harris’s expressive laughter, suggesting it might lead to fewer sanctions against Russia.

His remarks followed accusations that Russia was involved in attempts to ‘influence the election with pro-Russian propaganda.'” […]

Phil posted this last night: “HODL” [hold on for dear life]

I’m guessing it has something to do with yesterday’s stock market. He has recently been telling us that the upcoming market crash could come around the time they allegedly arrest Trump and take him to Ryker’s Island (Sept. 16th) (triggering the PEAD, the EBS, the military, etc.).

The training for the new job yesterday was really long and there was a ton of information. I was a little wiped out by the end of the day, but wow, gang.

I worked for this same company several years ago, and it was a good company to work for, but they have since been taken over by a different franchise and these new people are incredible. Such joyful, happy, helpful, kind people. (This is a non-medical in-home senior caregiver job.)

And God is all over that place. For instance, when you don’t hear the staff talk about “being lucky,” but instead they talk about being blessed, you know you’re in the right place.

Today I have a ton of training videos to watch here at home, and then some quizzes. That will likely take all day. Then tomorrow, half a day of training. And then I officially start.

I am so glad I chose to get back into this work part-time. What an incredible company to be connected to right now.

Okay.

Phil was live last night and what an unusual live it was. Complete with several “blackouts”. And some Q & A stuff that left Phil speechless on 2 occasions.

In other news —

Nick Cave sent out an unusual Red Hand File this morning. It has not been uploaded to the website yet. However, in today’s letter, a reader wrote in asking Nick to ask his readers a question and have them answer him, for a change.

So here is the question Nick asked his readers to answer:

“I have a full life. A privileged life. An unendangered life. But sometimes the simple joys escape me. Joy is not always a feeling that is freely bestowed upon us, often it is something we must actively seek. In a way, joy is a decision, an action, even a practised method of being. It is an earned thing brought into focus by what we have lost – at least, it can seem that way. My question is, where or how do you find your joy?“

He also added that rehearsals for the upcoming Bad Seeds tour are getting underway, so he won’t be back with the readers’ replies for a few weeks.

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

And that is it for today. I have to run some quick errands before I get down to the training videos.

Enjoy your Wednesday, wherever you are in the world!

Tom Petty’s estate is getting ready to re-release Straight Into Darkness, with about 12 new, never-released songs added to it. A 3-CD set. I can’t wait!

About the video below:

“Music video for the French TV version of ‘Straight Into Darkness’ performed by Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers. Directed by Alan Bibby. Featuring newly remastered footage of the band performing at the Record Plant in 1982”

Here is Tom and the band in their early 30s. Enjoy!!

“Straight Into Darkness”

There was a little girl, I used to know her
I still think about her time to time
There was a moment when I really loved her
Then one day the feeling just died

We went straight into darkness
Out over the line
Yeah straight into darkness
Straight into night

I remember flying out to London
I remember the feeling at the time
Out the window of the 747
Man, there was nothing, only black sky

We went straight into darkness
Out over the line
Yeah straight into darkness
Straight into night

Oh give it up to me, I need it
Girl, I know a good thing when I see it
Baby, wrong or right, I mean it

I don’t believe the good times are over
I don’t believe the thrill is all gone
Real love is a man’s salvation
The weak ones fall, the strong carry on

Straight into darkness
Out over the line
Yeah straight into darkness
Straight into night

We went straight into darkness
Out over the line
We went straight into darkness
Straight into night

c – 1982 Tom Petty

3 Great Things!

August 31, 2024 marilyn jaye lewis Leave a comment

It’s Saturday! It’s a holiday weekend! It is PERFECT weather!

The only thing that I find discouraging today is that they still haven’t published all the lyrics to the songs on the new Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds album, Wild God.

Honestly. I cannot understand a huge amount of the lyrics because often the music and background singing is mixed up way too high. it’s overpowering to my wee bonny little ears.

As far as I can tell, my favorite song is “O Wow O Wow (How Wonderful She Is)”. Even though I can’t understand every single one of the words, it does seem to be a really cool song about the late Anita Lane. I guess, some day we’ll find out for sure!

If you missed this and are interested:

Honestly, gang, the news is enough to make me want to jump out of a window — just to get everyone to shut up, already.

Between the psyops and the optics and the fake everything. Aaaarrrgggh.

This is all I have for you today. But don’t worry, it’s THREE HOURS long.

Other than that–

I am extremely happy to announce that Sandra and I are just about done revising the play for its staged reading Off-Broadway in NYC.

On Sunday, we have one more phone session before she heads to Manhattan for rehearsals of a new play she is in at Playwrights Horizons. One of our goals this summer was to have the staged reading version of the play completed before she had to submerge herself in rehearsals for the new play. By tomorrow, that goal will be achieved.

When we got off the phone yesterday, after about 2 1/2 hours of work, a feeling came over me that was really wonderful, gang. She and I have been working on this play for 10 years now. And even while it was produced last fall in Toronto by Soulpepper Theatre Company, it wasn’t the exact version of our play that Sandra and I wrote.

But this version for the staged reading in NYC is. And yesterday, I felt: Holy shit! It’s finally happening. This is really it.

After 10 years, gang. “The Guide to Being Fabulous” — our version of it — is heading to Off-Broadway, It is an incredible feeling. I absolutely adore this play.

And then, while Sandra is in rehearsals for the new play, I will return to adapting “The Guide to Being Fabulous” into the screenplay version for the producer at HBO.

And also — while that has been going on — I am almost done with the manuscript for my new book, A Man in her Arms & Other Stories. I am almost done writing the introduction and then the book will be completely done, edited, and ready to publish.

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

And in other good news!

It’s been 3 months since the tornado hit our village and the dollar store here (the sole store in our tiny village) is finally ready to re-open!!!

This is exciting because the thrill of having to drive to the next county just to buy dish soap or toilet paper is a thrill that is just about gone, gang!

And that is it for now, gang!!

If you live in the US, enjoy your holiday weekend!

Otherwise, enjoy your Saturday, wherever you are in the world!!

Thanks for visiting!

I love you guys. See ya!

Holiday Weekend Underway!

August 30, 2024 marilyn jaye lewis Leave a comment

The final holiday of summer is upon us here in the States.

Today will be another intensely hot & sunny day, but after today, comes an incredible break in the weather. I am really looking forward to it!! (And I am basically looking forward to saying goodbye to the Summer of 2024. It was about 99.9% awful.)

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

Well, Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds officially released Wild God at midnight. I had of course pre-ordered it so it was in my Amazon Prime stream this morning.

However, last night, at midnight UK time, they began releasing the songs online. So I listened to those last night…

I’m still waiting for all the lyric videos to be released, though, because, sadly, I can’t understand most of the lyrics to the songs on the album and that makes me nuts. I am all about the lyrics.

Luckily! I think that will happen at 1pm today!

Sadly, though … that is when Sandra and I begin working on the play!

Anyway.

I’m sure that at some point today, I will find out what the lyrics are. I hope.
