***DigameXtra is now on Twitter – @DigameXtra***
Twitter users can now find a link to new issues, as well as see some article links & re-tweets that didn’t make it into a daily issue. Those readers who have requested I post more “alternative news” should have a look (vax/covid info, farmer protests, AI & hi tech trends, New World Order alerts, etc). If you are not a Twitter user, you can visit the website at https://twitter.com/DigameXtra

Editor’s Note, updated:
– I am dealing with some health problems, possibly the result of a spider bite to the neck, causing a reaction that triggered severe facial swelling, closing one eye, accompanied by a Blood Pressure spike. At least that’s their current theory. So the next few issues of DigameXtra may be smaller than usual. I’ve been to the doctor, got BP meds and will get blood tests today; hopefully I’ll be feeling better sometime this week. I will get user submissions posted, but don’t expect a lot of news unless a local crisis erupts. As the July national elections approach, most of the news is name-calling and electioneering anyway. Have a great week!
What’s On
Tell them you saw it on DigameXtra!

Johnson quit late on Friday in protest against an investigation by lawmakers into his conduct as prime minister during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, when lockdown-breaking parties were held in Downing Street.
