Tim Morrison was in the White House Situation Room listening to Trump's July call with Ukrainian President Zelensky.

In his opening statement to his deposition on 31 October 2019, Tim Morrison said:

• he didn't think that Trump said anything wrong in his call
• he wanted the National Security Council to know about the contents of the call
• he feared the call contents would be leaked
• he recommended restricting access to the call content

Watching his testimony in the impeachment hearings on 19 November 2019, it seems to me that one can interpret Tim Morrison's testimony differently: taking actions to protect the President.

President Donald Trump of the United States, claims that the whistleblower's and Adam Schiff's version of Trump's July phone conversation with the President of Ukraine was completely made-up.

Lindsey Graham said to me when he read [the transcript of the July Ukraine call], it was very interesting.

He's a good man, he's a smart man.

He said, "I can't believe it. I never knew you could be this really nice to a person."

He said, "I cannot believe, you were so... I didn't think you had that in you to be so nice."

It's so important for citizens to act as journalists in a time when the Police State is cracking down on us.

Do you read erotica? Or would you like to know why a feminist would write porn?

If you read erotica, do you find yourself flipping forward to the sex bits? If so, my new book "fingers & tongues" is for you.

It's the British General Election tomorrow.

I've never blogged about a general election before but this one feels different.

There's been a lot of coverage here in England about telephone competition scams. This seems to have involved in the news to fakery in television: from noddies, storming queens, naming cats, catching fish, and now FEMA staff posing as reporters in America.

It's all rather silly. But perhaps something good can come out of it.

I found the addictive Jyte.com via OpenID. Registered users post any claim that other users can vote and comment on. I thought Jyte had great potential to explore people's attitudes.

I had a question I sometimes ask at dinner parties and thought that Jyte was a good place to ask a wider audience: What order would these be accepted as the American President: a black man, a white woman, a Jewish man, a homosexual man?

After a couple of days, I was surprised to the see the votes regarding claims regarding Jewish people. Read on for the results after 88 votes.

CEEFAX, the BBC's teletext service, today has a news story about hospital closures before a story about building new hospitals. I’m not sure what's worse to explain what’s happening with hospitals here - incompetence or a scam.
