[Reuters via Saltwire] - Despite turmoil in his private life, Rory McIlroy said on Wednesday his game is in great shape heading into this week's PGA Championship and he is focused on ending his 10-year major drought.
McIlroy's press conference began with a warning that the world number two would not be answering questions related to his shock announcement on Tuesday that he was ending his seven-year marriage and had filed for divorce.
[YouTube] Wiki - Wish Me Luck is a British television drama about the exploits of British women undercover agents during the Second World War. The series was made by London Weekend Television for the ITV network between 17 January 1988 and 25 February 1990 and created by Lavinia Warner and Jill Hyem, who had previously produced and written the BBC women prisoner of war series Tenko. The series was filmed on location in England and France.
Wish Me Luck is similar to Tenko and the 1970s BBC drama Secret Army, in that it deals with strong female characters coping under extreme conditions in wartime. The organisation for which the series' women agents worked, the Outfit, was based on the real-life Special Operations Executive. Season 1 and 2 were based on the exploits of SOE agent Nancy Wake and much of the dialogue was copied from her autobiography The White Mouse.
The series also addressed social issues and divisions under wartime conditions. A great deal of attention was also paid to creating the social context of the operatives, the drama of their work, against the backdrop of an intensely detailed local "colour" in both wartime Britain and France.
"Wish Me Luck (as You Wave Me Goodbye)" is a song made popular during the Second World War by Gracie Fields.
[LI] The last time I reported on the "Greater Idaho" movement, 12 counties in Oregon had voted to secede from the deep blue state to join their red neighbor, Idaho.
That was last summer.
Now, as the summer of 2024 begins, lucky 13 has just agreed to secede!
The vote is not legislatively binding, and passage of the measure simply means residents are in favor of informing Oregon and federal representatives that they support negotiations to join Idaho.
[ZERO] While the CIA is strictly prohibited from spying on or running clandestine operations against American citizens on US soil, a bombshell new "Twitter Files" report reveals that a member of the Board of Trustees of InQtel - the CIA's mission-driving venture capital firm, along with "former" intelligence community (IC) and CIA analysts, were involved in a massive effort in 2021-2022 to take over Twitter's content management system, as Michael Shellenberger, Matt Taibbi and Alex Gutentag report over at Shellenberger's Public (subscribers can check out the extensive 6,800 word report here).
According to "thousands of pages of Twitter Files and documents," these efforts were part of a broader strategy to manage how information is disseminated and consumed on social media under the guise of combating 'misinformation' and foreign propaganda efforts - as this complex of government-linked individuals and organizations has gone to great lengths to suggest that narrative control is a national security issue.
According to the report, the effort also involved;

Yes, the FBI and Foreign Intelligence Services (FIS) assist with EO-12333 workarounds. Interestingly the acronym FIS was formerly referred to as Hostile Intelligence Services (HOIS). Can't be "hostile" if they're assisting now can they ?
Liaison reps? Yes both sides and at the Unified Commands as well. Cushy seniors job, adjacent the upstairs, corner office. There a few secrets or missed opportunities.
Frankly, I'm withholding judgment until we hear from John Brennan and his 51 intelligence professional friends.

[LI] Billy Price, the former first-round draft pick for the Cincinnati Bengals, has announced his retirement from the National Football League at the age of 29 due to a severe pulmonary embolism, a condition that nearly cost him his life.
Price, who was drafted by the Bengals in the first round in 2018 as a center, revealed that he underwent emergency pulmonary embolism surgery on April 24 to remove a saddle clot that was entering both of his lungs.
Pulmonary embolism occurs when a blood clot gets lodged in an artery in the lungs, blocking blood flow and causing severe health issues, which can be fatal if not treated promptly.
In an emotional Instagram post, Price shared his gratitude for being alive following the harrowing experience. He expressed his appreciation for the opportunities he had to play in some of the most iconic football venues worldwide and to compete alongside talented teammates.
A disturbing parallel has also surfaced: soldiers becoming ill or dying from similar ailments in the United States. In some cases, the soldiers, their families and civilian doctors blame vaccines given to them by the military, particularly the anthrax or smallpox shots.
Remember, everyone, those that warned of the Clot Shot VAX were called Conspiracy Theorists wearing Tin Hats and some kicked out of their Medical professions for warning us.
.
But at least we have learned...
It is just as easy to buy a scientist, as it is a Politician.
In fact, Politicians buy lots of Scientists with your tax $$$$ every day.

"Adding to the context of Price’s health scare, it’s noteworthy that theNFL has maintained high vaccination rates among players and personnelagainst COVID-19.
According to the NFL, the vaccination rate as of December 15, 2021:
94.6% of NFL players are vaccinated; nearly 100% of NFL personnel are vaccinated.
With such a highly vaccinated population, the NFL environment is not comparable to anywhere else in society. We will continue to work with the NFLPA with the goal of having 100% of players vaccinated.
30 of the league’s 32 clubs have an overall vaccination rate of 95% or
higher."

For me to take another vaccine, it would take a true scientific study of this one that I could read and discern. One not funded by the Pharma industry. That’s not going to happen.
