I work nights often. When I am at home, the bedroom is like a tomb. Gramma Coldwarrior made us some custom Blitz-era blackout curtains that must be made of Hawking’s Black Holes. It is totally dark, pitch black, endlessly without light. When I am on nights I put the ceiling fan on high for noise. Noise is needed to block out the mind from reacting to the sounds of the house during the day. I will also run a box fan for added brain mis-direction.
It is notoriously hard to sleep in the daytime in a hotel. Most hotels aren’t built for that. Total Darkness is unattainable and the stomp monsters are always in the hall or overhead during the day…and then there are the vacuums…
Darkness can be attained tho. A Tempur-Pedic face mask gets that done no problem. Mrs Coldwarrior calls that thing my Diva Mask. It works. That leaves the sound issue. It’s easy to get dark, it’s damned hard to clear the brain of disruptive sound. The Brain wants to hear and asking everyone to be silent during the day is not only rude, it’s impossible.
Got that? Good. SO what I did was get two, small Altec Lansing Bluetooth speakers, my laptop, and this website and this hotel room. I have to get up at 1600 and am going to bed shortly. I will take my normal dose of 5-10mg Melatonin p.o. and use this shifted toward Brownian noise over both speakers (which are not equally distanced form the bed on purpose). This will give the brain something to mull over while I sleep and the stomp monsters are about.
This is night one with this website, more updates to follow.
Enjoy Yinz’s day.
Notre Dame Cathedral/Paris on fire. The pics are horrific
Never fear, Shep is on duty, not on his watch !!
But yes, horrific.
@ eaglesoars:
The spire has fallen. How could this HAPPEN??
@ The Barbarian:
It’s all wood.
I can’t even imagine the art inside that is gone forever.

@ coldwarrior:
I read that there have been over 1000 desecrations of churches in France over the past year (although how accurate Twitter can be is questionable). Even so, the destruction of probably the most symbolic Catholic Church outside of St. Peter’s is significant. I have to wonder if it was deliberate.
I don’t normally watch cable news or TV really. I used to click on FOX when something of real importance was being reporting on (9/11 etc). When I heard that the cathedral was burning I first turned on FOX because the others were 100 % a waste of time. I’ve been able to avoid Shep for many years until this afternoon. Listening to this ass wipe talk about pondering what it too so many years to construct, ‘what could have inspired them to complete such a ..blah blah blah”. Hey DICK, it was a belief in GOD and JESUS CHRIST, thats what !!
Ever wonder how it was that so much incredible art was conceived and completed to glorify God ?
On another note, no doubt the Parisian officials have already decided that no matter what an investigation turns up, its gonna be “accidental in nature”. Anything else could, and likely wood, cause sheer havoc in the streets and across the country. Shep was making sure that no callers speculated as to what may have caused such a catastrophe ? Yeah, he was right to do that – lives could be on the line, ‘careless whispers’ could
bring about a blood bath. Shep said that nothing he could remember in his life time could compare to this. The Twin Towers may have stood 800 years and thousands still alive if not for a certain devastating destruction of a cities … uh oh, Cavuto is taking a call from Bill Donohue and Bill is getting it into it with Neil. Upppp … he just hung up on Donahue !
I do hope it doesn’t get ugly. Just can’t stand Shep and I need to vent.
We should end withholding of taxes from paychecks. Make your income tax bill just like your electric bill, your mortgage, or your auto insurance. Then move election day to the day after taxes are due.
Is anybody watching Bernie on FNC?
He is such an old fool demogouge.
This looks like very good news. Only a small bit of the interior was damaged. Here’s a pic.
I’m also seeing reports that ALL the relics and art were saved. Which seems possible if the fire really didn’t touch much of the church proper
ok, picure

Notre Dame took 200 years to complete by various craft tradesmen who were paid but were also doing out of love as well.
The fact that the secular progressive atheist left can’t even envisage of remembering these human craftsmen let alone understanding the socio-religious drivers behind their equivalent building a technology of a 12th Century ‘moon-shot’.
Don’t be sad that todays empty-souled cretins can’t remember the builders of Notre Dame. History has tides and currently the tide is way out and still receding. Better to feel sorry for todays progressive secular cretins.

If that’s going to be their game plan, I wish them well trying to push it. Amazon has been offering the paperback of the Mueller report for about two weeks now, saying it will be released April 30th.
I strongly suspect there is a different narrative at play here. I think they are setting the narrative for the “true” Mueller report. Once the report is released on Amazon they are going to find things “missing” and start to demand a “full release”, this will lead to hearings and all kinds of other democrat money wasting crap.

Swallowswell went on Twitter today saying he didn’t know who Dana Loesch was. Dana countered by posting multiple replies and retweets he done of her tweets.
I really can’t figure out what his end game is here. He’s so completely stupid and unlikeable, and the field from California is already full, and certain from the DNC’s standpoint, they want Kamala (who will get slaughtered for her illegal immigrant stand – because she REALLY, TRULY doesn’t get it) and not this soyboy from Silicon Valley.
Unless he’s stupid enough to think he can fill his campaign coffers, drop out and then use it for the jungle primary in California for re-election to his House seat. But he’s so effing stupid, he probably thinks he can run for both offices on the California ballot in June.
@ The Barbarian:
Swallow It All thinks he’s adorable. His “I don’t know who she is” bit was meant to be demeaning to Dana as in “Dana WHO?”
This cycle he’s just trying to make himself known as someone who runs for POTUS. It’s builds the idea of him as plausible. The fact that you can make an eternal fool out of yourself – why would that occur to him? Look at Pete Buttigig. This guy is a malicious, lying prick if ever there was one and look what he thinks he can do. This is the Trump effect, someone who never held public office actually did it. Now all the idiots think ‘why not?’.
Yeah, you’re not Trump, that’s why not.
And your dadddy wasn’t a commie stooge. I’ve been hearing whispers about this for a week or so, this is the first place I’ve seen it all pulled together.
Pete Buttigieg’s father was a Marxist professor who lauded the Communist Manifesto
The father of Democratic presidential hopeful Pete Buttigieg was a Marxist professor who spoke fondly of the Communist Manifesto and dedicated a significant portion of his academic career to the work of Italian Communist Party founder Antonio Gramsci, an associate of Vladimir Lenin
[]
Paul Kengor, a professor at Grove City College and an expert in communism and progressivism, said Buttigieg was among a group of leftist professors who focused on injecting Marxism into the wider culture.
“They’re part of a wider international community of Marxist theorists and academicians with a particular devotion to the writings of the late Italian Marxist theorist Antonio Gramsci, who died over 80 years ago. Gramsci was all about applying Marxist theory to culture and cultural institutions — what is often referred to as a ‘long march through the institutions,’ such as film, media, and especially education,” Kengor told the Washington Examiner.

Interesting trip down to the beach last night. We stumbled upon a crime scene in action. 7 cop cars including two Highway patrol, three Incident Cars, an unmarked plain clothes car and a Delta van (with dog). road spikes had been laid and the offenders’ car had been forced off the roar by one of the Highway patrol cars by giving it a ‘technical tap’ on the drivers side doors that spun it around. The Highway patrol car had some frontal damage but I suggested to the cop that it’d be just fine and the it would probably just buff right off!. He cracked up and gave me a thumbs up as he went past.
🙂
Not sure what the suspects had done but the cops…. all armed…. swamped them and it wasn’t going to turn out well for the suspects. All done and dusted in 17 minutes and a nice cop came over and apologised for holding us all up.

In which case you are just engaging in sophistry to deny that you are trying to do what you are trying to do.

On a lighter note the Ardern Labour (socialist) government when they were forced to eat crow when their $2 million study to bring in a Capital Gains Tax was tossed onto the scrap heap. It seems that NZ First the centrist popularise party in coalition with Labour to form a government decided NOT to back the new tax regime.
It was a close run thing so for now we’ve seen off another tax grab by the socialist left Labour and their best buds the ‘Watermelon ‘ Greens. Green on the outside and red inside. This has damaged the Jasinda Ardern ‘brand’ and it’s her first slip. Actually she and her Cabinet has done squat for the past 18 months. Most policies have ended up as total cluster-fucks.

@ Get Relgion
Good morning. The other day Neil Cavuto hosted Bill Donahue, president of the Catholic League on his FNC Program. The guest started to raise a red flag about the fire at the Cathedral of Notre Dame as possible vandalism.
Cavuto warned him to stop and when he persisted Cavuto hung up.
I am not particularly a fan of Donahue and I am not into conspiracy theories, but why so dismissive?
Why did French authorities rule out vandalism immediately? There was no construction work going on that day.
There has been a spate of vandalism in Catholic Chrches recently as the above article lays out.
I just think that it is too early to rule out terrorism.

Actually you’re correct, at least partially correct. Murdoch senior never let a bit of personal idealism EVER get in the way of the DEAL. Lauchlan was the second tier choice to run the empire and he was in his early days just the show pony socialite. Hence his ‘Barbie’ wife and all of his socialite background. And yes his ‘barbie-doll’ wife does carry his balls around in her bag. Sher must be great in bed or something because Lauchlan is her puppy. The old man ALWAYS put the deal ahead of his family and especially ahead of his wives. Lauchlan…. not so much!

nah. 40. 40 is good.
From Armstrong in the what could go wrong section:
“A new law in the EU shields whistle blowers from retaliation by creating “safe channels” to allow them to report breaches of EU law. In other news, 100 historians have signed an agreement to reconstruct the history books to strengthen the bond amongst the European countries. They wish to implement “shared memory” works instead of reflecting on divided memories. An attempt to alter the history books could be a solution for future generations to feel more bonded amongst the Europeans.”

During the French Revolution there was torture, debauchery, murder and cannibalism openly practiced. The same thing happened in 1936 in Spain. You think a little name calling and threats of legal action are serious. When someone from the 10th Mountain Division grabs your baby son by his leg and swings his head against a fence post and then feasts on his spilled brains whilst your local congressman applauds. THEN you have a serious problem. When the local nuns from an orthodox convent are raped by the State Police and then drowned. THEN you have a cultural meltdown.
It’s happened twice before in the past200 years in a culture that was a lot more developed than what is foolishly called culture in the US of 2019.

And… then thinking that the DGSE could waltz into NZ and ‘spring’ the two captured agents one from a superman and the other from Mt Eden woman’s prison. The NZ Intelligence Corps were awaiting them as were a regiment of NZSAS. The Le Triumpf nuclear attack sub dropped off the escape teams at Carolyne Bay in Northland and we tracked them throughout their approach and reckon of the prison targets.
We (the Int Corps) even set a trap for the team that was looking to spring Dominique Prieure from Mt. Eden by overtly moving her out of the city to MCE (Military Corrective Establishment) at Papakura. What the press failed to see was the body double who took Dominique’s place at MCE, she was a corporal from the NZ Signals Regiment, and was housed all alone at MCE. Prieure was then covertly spirited away to her billet INSIDE the electrified 14 foot fences surrounding the NZSAS establishment. She was the ‘guest’ of a regiment of the NZSAS and she wasn’t going ANYWHERE !
