Joe Biden got twenty million or so more votes than Kamala.
Those people just vanished.
I'm worried that I missed The Rapture.

Guy Fawkes: Needed Now More Than Ever!Gunpowder Plot, Guy FawkesRemember, remember! Early in the morning of November 5, Guy Fawkes crept, torch in hand, into the cellar beneath the House of Lords in the Palace of Westminster. In that cellar, he and his fellow conspirators had previously placed a cache of 1800 pounds ((36 barrels, or 800 kg) of gunpowder. Just as he was about to ignite the barrels, blowing himself and the House of Lords to Kingdom Come, the torch was snatched from his hand by a man named Peter Heywood. Fawkes was arrested and taken before the privy council where he remained defiant. When asked by one of the Scottish lords what he had intended to do with so much gunpowder, Fawkes answered him, “To blow you Scotch beggars back to your own native mountains!” So went the attempted Gunpowder Plot of 1605. The intention of the plotters was to use the explosion, timed to coincide with the opening of Parliament, to kill King James I and eliminate much of the ruling Protestant aristocracy. They also intended to kidnap the royal children, then raise the standard of revolt in the Midlands with the object of restoring the freedom to practice Catholicism in England. 03 Nov 2024

Famous Pet Squirrel Murdered by NY GovernmentGovernment Atrocities, Peanut the Squirrel, Regulations, The Nanny StateAmerica today has become a country in decline, stupefied, paralyzed, and strangled with over-regulation of everything. Long ago, 1930-1931, Americans built the Empire State Building, at the time the tallest building in the world in eighteen months. They put up the Golden Gate Bridge, then the longest and tallest suspension bridge and still the most beautiful, in four years, ahead of schedule and under budget. It took thirteen years to replace the fallen World Trade Center. My father bought a brand new Chevrolet for $1500 cash in 1960. Today, cars are loaded with so much safety crap, emissions nonsense, and electronic folderol, you can no longer work on them yourself and they cost a lot more than an ordinary house used to. A “cheap car” is priced in the low $40Ks. Government controls everything and owns the whole natural world. Find an abandoned baby squirrel bring it home and save its life? Why! you have violated the law. We’re like the Saxon peasants and our various levels of government do a fine job of playing our Norman overlords: Bad King Fed, your home state the local lord the wicked Sir Guy of Gisbourne, and your locality government the nefarious Sheriff of Nottingham. Rescue a baby squirrel and you’ve broken the king’s forest laws. We just have no Robin Hood. Just about the whole (oppressed, Saxon portion of the) country is seething in indignation over the death of Peanut the Pet Squirrel at the hands of the bureaucracy of the State of New York. John Carter did a great job of covering the whole Peanut story. All this “We own the World” stuff from American government is simply an inevitable product of the Progressive Movement’s drive to empower via Government the credentialed managerial/professional class of “experts” to institutionalize, rationalize, regulate, and control absolutely everything. In the old days, Americans, including Ben Franklin, quite commonly kept squirrels as pets.

New Substack DelayedBlog Administration, Substack
I thought I’d just go post on the new Substack I had (sort of) set up. I expected to just fiddle around a bit. find the levers and buttons, and up would go my first post. Hmmm. I soon realized that this is going to require a learning curve. And, needless to say, picking up a new technology for a decrepit Boomer who’d been at Woodstock is not quite as speedy a process as it is for somebody aged 20. I will keep readers here informed. 01 Nov 2024

HalloweenHalloween, Poetry, William Butler YeatsMidnight has come and the great Christ Church bell I need some mind that, if the cannon sound Horton’s the first I call. He loved strange thought Two thoughts were so mixed up I could not tell On Florence Emery I call the next, Before that end much had she ravelled out I call MacGregor Mathers from his grave, He had much industry at setting out, But names are nothing.

19 Years of BloggingBlog AdministrationToday is the 19th Anniversary of the beginning of the Never Yet Melted blog. I’ve done 17,902 posts before this one and had millions of readers in countries all over the world. The exact count has been lost because NYM has outlived all the original statcounters. At its peak, I had 30-50 thousand readers a month. My blogging efforts have declined in response to the decline of blog significance. Competition from social media, like X, Facebook, Instagram, Tiktok, and Substack, has taken away much of our former traffic. Also, I am increasingly fed up with the WordPress nerds’ feckless updates which wipe out foreign accents and special characters (like apostrophes, quotation marks, and M and N dashes, substituting gobbledy-gook and which change image link formats thereby making all older postings imageless. Google and some other ads used to cover partially my server costs, but the other ad sources died and Google gave me an ultimatum about removing the Charlie Hebdo Mohammed cartoons, so I told Google “Gotz von Berlichingen!“. In fact, I have decided to switch over to Substack myself. I’m thinking of writing one or two original essays a week myself and giving up daily blog posts. Look for an announcement of my first Substack post very soon, and do subscribe. Thanks to everyone for your past support, David 29 Oct 2024
