Well regardless of opinions about my most excellent Prime Minister Trump and King Charles III here's hot news livestream as well as truly a moment of big league (or bigly) history for America and British history fans alike. King Charles III address the US Congress the second only to his own mother Queen Elizabeth II became the first to do so since the US Revolutionary War. The pressure is on this might be one of the biggest moments of actual politics for King Charles in his reign who knows, let us see. Either way the moments and softer news stories to getting here has been promising, praise Jesus.

Give us the transcript, for those of us who like to read.

I had all the Queens speeches collected in one book, so I could go back and read them, and find out what she said without having to decipher her clipped English accent.

Did you not see the movie 'The King's Speech'?

I'l try to find it but it is still on-going live at the moment. Honestly it's a really good speech so far Charles is hitting a grand slam right now and looking genuinely kingly. This will easily be his high mark so far of the political side of his reign. His delivery is very solid too the video is worth it. Praise Jesus.

Read King Charles’s Full Address to Congress

“The story of the United Kingdom and the United States is, at its heart, a story of reconciliation, renewal and remarkable partnership.”

Here's a transcript I think. I just kind of lightly skimmed over it and it seems to be right. It's a fairly long speech mindful and just ended minutes ago, but it's pretty good I'd still argue the video is worth the watch so I'll also include now a closed clip video of it since the livestream feed from the AP is still just an open link.

Ok here's the best bit

And, Mr. Speaker, for many here – and for myself – the Christian faith is a firm anchor and daily inspiration that guides us not only personally, but together as members of our community. Having devoted a large part of my life to interfaith relationships and greater understanding, it is that faith in the triumph of light over darkness which I have found confirmed countless times. Through it I am inspired by the profound respect that develops as people of different faiths grow in their understanding of each other. It is why it is my hope – my prayer - that, in these turbulent times, working together and with our international partners, we can stem the beating of ploughshares into swords…

I am mindful that we are still in the season of Easter, the season that most strengthens my hope. It is why I believe, with all my heart, that the essence of our two Nations is a generosity of spirit and a duty to foster compassion, to promote peace, to deepen mutual understanding and to value all people, of all faiths, and of none.

I like this bit

The natural wonders of the United States of America are indeed a unique asset, and generations of Americans have risen to this calling: Indigenous, political and civic leaders, people in rural communities and cities alike, have all helped to protect and nurture what President Theodore Roosevelt called ‘the glorious heritage’ of this land’s extraordinary natural splendour, on which so much of its prosperity has always depended.

Yet even as we celebrate the beauty that surrounds us, our generation must decide how to address the collapse of critical natural systems, which threatens far more than the harmony and essential diversity of Nature. We ignore at our peril the fact that these natural systems – in other words, Nature’s own economy – provide the foundation for our prosperity and our national security.

oh and this closing bit

God bless the United States and God bless the United Kingdom.

He also put some jokes in.

Indeed I liked that too he takes a little responsibility for his Easter-Ramadan scandal lately and shows he learned from it, actually then his proceeding remainder of the address indeed reminds me of how his mother used to address the people on Easter and Christmas so I think he is trying to make up for that a bit which good let him try that's what he should do. Heeven citing Joel 3;10 though uh the full chapter is kinda how to say, auspicious. Still he is trying and it counts, this is not only a big speech for him personally but even into politics this is very uniquely timed and well delivered and well received from both sides of the US political isle as well as all the viewes in between and over top. The American Jubilee is on, God bless UK and Commonwealth and God bless USA. Praise Jesus.

 

[SonJudgment]

He also put some jokes in.

That's where really I recommend the video too his jokes are top notch and his delivery is very good. Charles is a scandalous king in the personality realm, much like Trump, but he does have a good heart and sense of humor needed to rule or steward thevast regions of the imperium. Perhaps in the technical sense their reigns will be good at least as pivots to the more pure heroes of tomorrow. Praise Jesus.

Well I have to finish some things up here so might not be able to get to it right away but here's a placeholder for the livestream for Charles and Trump's State Dinner. Love them or hate them this is both a real part of the jobs of both the King of Britain and the President of the USA indeed, and considering the timing with the American Jubilee and currently wider news cycle and two major heads of state in one big official dinner it is news worthy, history worthy even. The livestream is scheduled to start in roughly an hour and counting down though its chat is open, source is simply the AP again.

 

[Lanolin]

I want to know what they're eating for dinner!

 

[Lanolin]

My picks for the very best in American cuisine...

Southern Fried Chicken
Clambake or Lobster Thermidor
Philadelphia Cheesesteaks
Steamed Hams (or Hamburgers)
Pizza Pie
Pumpkin Pie
BBQ spare Ribs
Hot Dogs

Most of these foods you can eat with your hands, no need for fancy knives and forks, and saves on washing up - just lick your fingers.

 

[Lanolin]

Oh wait a minute, I think King Charles is vegetarian, or only eats organic.

So maybe just Fresh salad greens with American dressing and Californian avocados.

Or wild-caught Atlantic Salmon for Camilla

He's going to ask the chefs, did they grow the veges in the kitchen garden Michelle Obama made? Are these apples sprayed with chemicals? Do you compost?

For drinks he's going to want Organic wine, and tea that's real Boston English tea, not iced tea, and the coffee must not be Starbucks, but also grown organically in sustainable rainforests.

I'm not kidding you.

I mean he might taste the food, and to be polite eat a little bit, but when he gets back to his hotel or whatever, He'll take out his secret stash of organic biscuits and munch on them instead.

 

[SonJudgment]

Here's a bit of a better livefeed by C-SPAN or basic government channel that has some experts panel on the royals to give some commentary and recaps about all things royals news and around the significance of this State visit between the various photo ops and high points of the dinner.

The White House has released details of the menu for Tuesday’s state dinner. The first lady “led preparations for the dinner,” according to the White House.


The first course includes a garden vegetable velouté, which features a hearts of palm salad topped with toasted shallots and a touch of micro mint.

Next, the state dinner guests will dine on handcrafted spring herbed ravioli, featuring herbs grown in the White House Kitchen Garden.

The third course includes a dover sole meunière “bathed in a nutty brown butter.” In addition to the fish, the course includes spring ramps, snow peas and a potato pavè. The entree is finished with a parsley oil.


Dessert will be — or bee — a nod to the world’s most famous buzzing pollinators. The dinner will conclude with a beehive-shaped chocolate gâteau with a vanilla bean crémeux custard. “The beehive will be complimented with crème fraîche ice cream and White House honey,” according to details of the menu.

Earlier on Tuesday, Melania Trump showed off a new White House-shaped beehive to the royal couple that was installed on the South Lawn.

The wines to accompany the meal were “selected to complement the menu while honoring the shared heritage and enduring friendship between the United States and the United Kingdom, and celebrating the strength of American winemaking today.”


The lineup includes a Hopkins Riesling “Heritage” 2024, a Penner-Ash Pinot Noir “Willamette Valley” 2022 and a Newton Chardonnay “Unfiltered” 2022.

Lol yes I just saw that (and will get the clipped video later when someone can do that over at the mainstream news companies lol)

Well seems King Charlie gifted me a bell which my gracious Steward Trump received on my behalf for exactly the value of the pun, "to give him a ring". Worthy of an aristocratic chorttle indeed well played, this is masterclass in both royals and softpower geopolitics, a revival of the US-UK relationship indeed at a critical moment. Good news today, praise Jesus.

Translation-

Veloute =creamy sauce
Hearts of Palm = inner core of coconut or other palm tree? Never knew you could eat that. Must be from California or Florida
Ravioli = Italian pasta with stuffing inside
dover sole meunière “bathed in a nutty brown butter.” = peanut butter? Why not just say.. no it's French so, must be browned butter sort of caramelised. Fish would be filleted, so no bones. Dover is a flatfish, sort of like flounder. It's farmed in Dover (UK) but also wild in North Atlantic
spring ramps = some kind of allium (garlic) green

A beehive shaped cake? Hmm..is this a nod to the famous Wellington Beehive in New Zealand, that is like the centre of the world's politics???

Not a Beehive shaped beehive?
