SHOW PARADE
It was called show parade or Staff parades in some units, sent to the guardroom at 2200hrs as a punishment to show the orderly officer or sergeant you’ve put right what you f**ked up on earlier in the day, usually something pathetic. Here’s a few…
CO’S BLOCK INSPECTION. THE CO ACCOMPANIED BY THE RSM AND INSPECTING THE MEN.
CO - ‘What’s that horrible smell, RSM?’
The RSM walks straight up to Johnson, one millimetre away from his face, nose to nose he takes a long sniff.
RSM – ‘Your breath is f**king honking! What did you have for breakfast...curried sh*te!?’
JOHNSON ‘It's because I have a bad tooth sir.’
RSM ‘Show parade 2200hrs, show tooth extracted from head.’
Every spare minute of the day Private Johnson tried to take his tooth out with a clasp knife.
If you didn’t pass show parade, you were back again at 2300hrs and every hour until you did.

Fake news.
I was 2nd in the MPs’ queue from 7.30am this morning (behind Des Swayne) for a prayer card to reserve a seat and there was no sign of Farage then.
I didn’t see him come to prayers at 11.30am to come and claim a seat then either.
You snooze, you lose.
Nigel Farage was unable to attend the Budget in the Commons because his seat reservation was removed, The Telegraph understands.
The Reform UK leader’s prayer card — a green slip of paper that backbench MPs put on a spot on the green benches to reserve their seat — was moved after it was placed this morning.

Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Farage's prayer card lacked a valid date stamp and was removed per House of Commons protocol. MPs confirm seats were available unreserved and he did not attend prayers to secure one.

Every Texas bar has that one guy.
He’s loud. He’s obnoxious. He makes all the women feel uncomfortable. He adds his drink to your tab when you’re not looking.
That’s Ken Paxton — and I don’t know about y’all, but I’m done picking up his tab.

Another extraordinarily restrained and skilfully crafted statement
President Trump and I are on the same side when we speak about ending Russia’s war, but we see different instruments for achieving that goal. My philosophy is that Putin is a deeply Soviet person, both in his reality and mentality. We know it because my generation was born in the Soviet Union. When Putin is lying, we feel it. We were neighbors with the Russians for so many years. That's why I think we understand the Russians more clearly than the United States.
The United States, considering global security, can discuss with the Russians different topics. But we understand the mentality of both Putin and the Russian people, their soldiers and civilians. When they are ready to do something, and when they fear Putin because they know they can be imprisoned. If they don’t go and kill Ukrainians, Putin will sanction them in his own way.
Therefore, President Trump supported us on some topics, while on others we have different views.

340 children in Gaza have died since the ceasefire of last year - that's an average of almost one child a day. Children are traumatised, living in fear of attack, many facing the threat of acute malnutrition and without access to formal schooling for three years.
I asked the Foreign Secretary how they plan to ensure that Palestinian children are protected, that sustainable humanitarian aid gets in, that the terms of the ceasefire are obeyed, that education is provided and children are given the chance to heal?

JARED KUSHNER IS MOSSAD 🇮🇱
Dutch intelligence confirmed it.
But… this is NOT new information. It was already revealed in the Epstein Files.
The FBI already knew this.
A leaked FBI report [I’ll post it in the replies] revealed that Epstein (and Alan Dershowitz) was Mossad, with Epstein personally trained as a spy by the ex-Prime Minister of Israel.
And they RECRUITED the Kushner family.
This includes Josh Kutcher who Trump exploited his power as president to get him ownership of the Lakers.
Trump also exploited his power to pardon the family for tax evasion, witness tampering and illegal donations.
Jared now controls a multi-billion dollar, highly connected, fund used to exploit and extract from the Middle East.
This is one of the largest crime families in the world.

Signs multiply that a new round of war in the Middle East is coming after 🇺🇸 midterm elections. In 🇮🇱 Netanyahu doesn’t hide that he is eager to attack 🇮🇷, and Trump 🇺🇸 hints the same. In Tehran 🇮🇷 there seem to be preparations for a drawn-out regional confrontation.
The U.S. has told several Gulf Arab countries to be prepared for a short, intense military campaign after the U.S. midterm elections, people briefed on the conversations said. on.wsj.com/4yHXmSL
