[houl]

The Wall by John Lanchester Book 3 of 2023 3 stars . Promising then plain. A dystopian metaphor for racism and nationalism quickly abandons its core point and turns into a different novel altogether. For those that like: The Nights Watch parts of ASOIAF but with women as well; YA disguised as Literary Fiction; Bland dystopias; Thinly veiled metaphors. . #thewall #johnlanchester #minimonotonebookclub #booksivereadin2023 #booksivedrawnim2023 #booksreillustrated #bookstagram #houlart #houl https://www.instagram.com/p/CoG_98ShAlL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Maybe unrelated balls-2-thewall bonkers LiS AU idea: John Chen Lives AU, no honking idea how this'd work. Either toss most the canon out (as normal)or somehow this happens w/ Jed still hailed a hero &coverup still a thing (I rlly don't get the Present Mystery, why would Typhon blow it up 2x it's already coveredup? dunno enough abt mining). John had a headwound? Be vague abt how John escaped after Jed&co left the rest behind? Are powers heritable? Flesh the mystery &vs Typhon conflict 2 ig.

Maybe he could've been one of the miners that survived, but Jun is so disgusted with Jed's cowardice and selfishness that he quits on the spot and leaves Haven. Then Gabe arrives and can never track his dad down so he decides to stay and the rest of the game plays out the same. The plot twist in the mine was very well done, but I still think it’s incredibly cruel and unfair that Alex lost her entire family– I was almost hoping Mr. Chen would be alive and Alex could have a chance to reconcile the way Sean did with Karen, but maybe that would’ve been too similar to LiS2.

Sen. Bill Cassidy's Doable Idea for Paying for the Wall Townhall ^ | 05/17/2018 | John Dempsey

One of President Trump’s signature promises from his 2016 campaign was to build that “tall, beautiful wall.” Often, he would receive loud, raucous praise when he talked about it. Trump has been in office for almost a year and a half now. He has received expected pushback from Democrats. But he has also felt resistance from some Republicans. Both parties have been stingy with funding, leaving very few options. However, Sen. Bill Cassidy recently proposed a creative idea.

Sen. Cassidy suggested that money seized from drug cartels should be used to fund the wall. It is a simple idea that could work.

Asset seizures have been a method law enforcement has used for a while. If an item is determined to be used in criminal enterprise whether that is a stash house, money, vehicles, firearms, home security systems, televisions, or anything else, officers will seize the items. After the case is decided, the pieces are sold at auction, and the agency keeps the money.

Law enforcement agencies will also use seized drug money for buying new equipment or assets for their departments. They will purchase new vehicles, bullet-resistant vests, firearms, and other unique items that are needed.

Trump would be a fool if he didn’t push this idea. He needs to quickly get behind this and make it a piece of the midterm election strategy when he campaigns. Immigration is the number one issue right now. Trump-aligned candidates should promptly make the Cassidy idea a crucial part of their campaign.

The border wall is estimated to cost roughly $21 billion. Cassidy stated the cartel transports approximately $110 billion in drug money a year. Trump was only given $1.6 billion in the omnibus he recently signed. That is well short of the $21 billion he needs. Democrats and Republicans are trying to impede Trump’s agenda, leaving him not much choice.

The suggestion made by Cassidy is no different than what law enforcement does. The border wall is needed for security. Our borders are too porous. Border Patrol agents are being shot from across the border, and it’s happened more than once. Men and women that patrol the border deserve the best protection.

Trump has been stymied by either liberal progressives, or Republicans who want to make sure cheap labor is in the country for the Chamber of Commerce or the potential for votes. The Cassidy suggestion would bypass those obstructionists, and create immediate funding for the wall. Drug cartels will continue to move drug money back towards the border as long as they can, so that gives an opportunity for continuous funding.

A line Trump often used to irk Mexican ex-president Vicente was “Mexico will pay for the wall.” There are some import tax repercussions that American consumers would have felt from Mexican imports. However, seized drug money won’t hurt U.S. taxpayers. It is mostly free money for the wall. And Mexico will still pay for it so to speak.

America needs a border wall. Cassidy’s idea is doable, efficient and will not drive up the debt. Wouldn’t that be ironic if the ones bringing drugs into the country end up paying for the wall?

My week in photos blah blah part 49. Photo 1: Football on Red Square, 1936, by Egorov Anatoly Vasilievich Photo 2: Advertising records of the 1960s: Harry Fields Quartet's finest hour Photo 3: In Passengers (1994 – 1996), John Schabel zoomed in on people seated aboard planes waiting for takeoff – “getting into that [flying] frame of mind.” Sat aboard an aircraft waiting to leave terra firma we are possessed by what Stanley Kubrick termed the “awesome awareness of mortality”, alive to the “the mind-paralyzing realization that only a few years of existence separate birth from death”. Photo 4: John Maher, former drummer with Manchester punk band Buzzcocks, moved to the Isle of Harris in 2002. For the past six years he’s been photographing abandoned croft houses. In this photo, plastic framed cat and dog portraits are accompanied by the skeleton of small bird on the floor. The two mugs on the mantelpiece commemorate the 1974 Commonwealth Games in New Zealand. Photo 5: German artists Sabine Haubitz and Stefanie Zoche’s photographs of abandoned Sinai Hotels point to what might have been in the Egyptian desert. In this photo, Sultans Palace, 2004 Photo 6: Alan Parker’s tour de force film of Pink Floyd’s 1979 album The Wall, with contributions from Roger Waters’ words and music, and artist Gerald Scarfe’s prophetic and biting visions of doom, is all about the images.

End of the Irish Invasion ; — or — the Destruction of the French Armada. James Gillray, 1797.

In this cartoon, Gillray depicts the failure of a French fleet commanded by Admiral Hoche and Theobald Wolfe Tone, which was meant to reach Ireland and help the United Irishmen take over, and eventually gain independence, but was held back by strong winds. According to an 1851 book on Gillray, "On the French expedition to Bantry Bay, at the end of 1796. Pitt, Dundas, Grenville, and Windham are the four winds which blow up the storm to destroy the invaders. Fox, as the carved figure at the head of the Revolution, is represented as influencing the United Irishmen. The crew of the jolly-boat are Sheridan, Liberty Hall, Erskine, M. A. Taylor, and Thelwall, who, it is insinuated, were all approvers, at least, of the Irish rebellion."

Hallo liebe Freunde des Lesens,

das Großbritannien im Moment in aller Munde ist liegt daran, dass sie beschlossen haben nicht mehr Teil der EU zu sein. Jetzt ist das Gejammer groß. Der Autor John Lanchester hat mit dem Roman “Die Mauer” ein Zukunftsbild von England und der Welt entworfen, dass gar nicht so unrealistisch erscheint, so wie es heute aussieht.

Acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker's old tweets are really something

On Wednesday, Donald Trump ended the midterms news cycle by effectively firing Attorney General Jeff Sessions. The acting Attorney General is now Matt Whitaker, Sessions' former chief of staff and a man who used to mooch WiFi from a taco restaurant.

We know the latter thanks to his old tweets, which he has not deleted.

My new law firm just got our high speed internet hooked up!!!! Don't need to hijack Taco John's free wi fi any more.

— Matt Whitaker 🇺🇸 (@MattWhitaker46) December 30, 2009

SEE ALSO: What you need to know about the state of weed laws after the midterms

There are many reasons to feel uneasy about Whitaker's new role: his use of the phrase "Mueller lynch mob," his disturbing fixation on Hillary Clinton, and the fact that he (unlike Sessions) probably won't be recused from the Russia investigation. 

There are also several reasons to be super weirded out by him, including his former campaign web domain — now a mirror for a Russian sports betting website — and his confident declaration that "Dave Matthews is the Jimmy Buffett of our time."

A few of his stranger assertions:

Is the #Borderwall going to be similar to #thewall on #GoT ? If so, where is #eastwatch ?
