Inhumane Treatment of Illegal Migrants in Custody I have noted a consistent practice model in play within America. When we get things wrong, our orientation is usually toward rectifying any wrong and assuring that it does not happen again. Our nation is proficient with the processes of investigation and of debriefing.   This observation regarding our orientation toward a basic goodness is (once again) affirmed with the release of the  report from DHS Office of Inspector General regarding living conditions at Florida's "Alligator Alcatraz". https://www.oig.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/assets/2026-09/OIG-26-22-Sep26.pdf  There is no place in America for the inhumane treatment of individuals within our custody.  How the most vulnerable and weak are treated provides a strong cue for greater society regarding  basic values.  And regarding the illegal entries now detained and facing deportation, the Hippocratic Oath should apply: "First, do no harm." Proper c...
Evening Thoughts I am reading "Arsenal" again.   Not because I am not aware of what I penned so many years ago. But as a caution to honor the men who so greatly impacted my life with their thoughts, kindness, and willingness to instruct me regarding the finer aspects of Islamic law.  Each character in the novel - was more than just a personal acquaintance. This re-visiting of "Arsenal" also allows me to remember journalism confidentiality.  So even as I began to write in long form several pages of notes for a post on the Muslim Brotherhood, I find myself drawing a line through certain paragraphs.  "Oh!  I remember at which restaurant and exactly the seat which I took when this information was shared.  It was shared with generosity and should remain part of a private conversation."  This is not only about journalism confidentiality but the ebb and flow of deep friendships within the Muslim community.  I had these experiences for two decades....
Where is Captain Picard when you need Him? "My culture is based on freedom and self determination.  I would rather die!" https://www.youtube.com/shorts/_S5Ok8MMmvc The blood of their grandfathers was shed so they might remain free.  The grandchildren of the greatest generation welcome enslavement and bow to a foreign god. https://www.dailymail.com/news/article-16113757/city-migrants-Asylum-seekers-RAF-base-fear-Essex.html Islam is not peace.  Islam takes by force.  Islam deploys coercive control against the non-Muslim hosting nation. It is a gestalt.  Islam is state.  It uses religion for coercive control.  But it is first and foremost a state. Here is the question:  What will become of your own grandchildren? Perhaps this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-nbZNFa6f8 You have run out of time.  London has fallen.
From Sam Brinton to U.S. Diplomatic Staff to Chris Gallant The Super PAC of neurosis continue to offer up their best stars. If you like "spew" with nasty content. https://messengerpapers.com/2026/09/chris-gallant-bdsm-escort-role/ And if you prefer a more tame offering: https://nypost.com/2026/09/13/us-news/ny-dem-house-candidate-chris-gallant-posed-for-graphic-bdsm-photos-while-in-national-guard/ The LGBTQ-rstuv clan need to pull back from politics and maybe do things like: * Hang out in the woods with the like-minded-out-of-their-minds for fetishes and bizarre sexual proclivities. * Invest in pharmaceutical giants engaging R & D on drugs desperately needed to curb self-harm behaviors. What images present in the second link?  Blinded with a device, muzzled like a four-legged, but still with the ability to bark, a collar and chained with the use of a large padlock.  I do not know what the pillow-like device on the head gear represents, nor do I want to know.  I am a C...

Sgt Schultz Runs a False Flag Operation I mean really, Darling.  Does anybody really believe this? https://www.dailymail.com/news/article-16128405/Trains-carrying-Boris-Johnson-targets-Russian-drone-attack.html Since when - do impotent people (not to be confused with important people) rail-lock themselves on a "diplomatic train"? I tire of the bullshit.

The Morning Chatter Latest overall status in the Marib city region * Green: Yemeni army led by Ansarallah * Red: Saudi-supported forces * Orange: Front lines Clashes and shelling around the city continue unabated. Last night, a major assault was launched from the northern rural areas, but the al-Kanais and al-Labanat camps have not yet been fully captured. If these two camps and their surrounding areas are fully captured, the Yemeni army led by Ansarallah could encircle the city from the north and east, accelerating its liberation.   Although the areas around the city have so far been well fortified and extensively protected, serious solutions exist—for example, advancing from the north is the best option. And Iran claims they have certain sites under constant surveillance.  Zzzz

Oh, the Irony! File under "Humor": https://www.dailymail.com/news/article-16125531/Anti-migrant-protesters-Portsmouth-police-arrests.html It seems fair that if women are allowed to obscure facial features the same should be allowed for men. Veiled women in the West are also engaged in a passive protest against the hosting culture.   When does a protest not involve an organized march? It is possible, of course. I hated this look for myself during COVID.  I consider it unnatural not to see the smile of another individual.  It presented as a lack of friendliness toward the greater world.  And it was intimidating for my patients.  My career in journalism was launched with an op-ed:  "Why Can't I See Your Smile?".  It was a first for me to open a newspaper and see my name in print with a very ugly image of myself.  (Taken when I had the flu.)  There was a noticeable increase of veiled women in my city.  It created a distinct discomfort....
