This HOT AUGUST [02] [PLACEHOLDER] FRIDAY open thread is VERY OPEN – a place for everybody to post whatever they feel they would like to tell the White Hats, and the rest of the MAGA / KAG! / KMAG world (KMAG being a bit of both MAGA and KAG!).
You can say what you want, comment on what other people said, and so on.
Free Speech is practiced here. ENJOY IT. Use it or lose it.
Keep it SOMEWHAT civil. They tried to FORCE fake Orwellian civility on us. In response, we CHOOSE true civility to defend our precious FREEDOM from THEM.
Our rules began with the civility of the Old Treehouse, later to become the Wolverinian Empire, and one might say that we have RESTORED THE OLD REPUBLIC – the early high-interaction model of the Treehouse – except of course that Q discussion is not only allowed but encouraged, and speech is considerably freer in other ways. Please feel free to argue and disagree with the board owner, as nicely as possible.
Please also consider the Important Guidelines, outlined here in the January 1st open thread. Let’s not give the odious Internet Censors a reason to shut down this precious haven.
SAY IT LOUD, AND SAY IT PROUD!
“MR. PRESIDENT – I AM PRAYING FOR YOU!“
AND WHAT TIME IS IT?
TIME TO….
DRAIN THE SWAMP
Our movement
Is about replacing
A failed
And CORRUPT
Political establishment
With a new government controlled
By you, the American People.
Candidate Donald J. Trump
Also remember Wheatie’s Rules:
- No food fights.
- No running with scissors.
- If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.
Let’s see if we can tell this story in James Coburn pictures. You ready?
Here we go!
August is going to be an interesting month.
Oh yeah? Just HOW interesting, we might ask.
Well, based on the LEAD-UP, I’d say we’re gonna see some enemy action.
OK. Should we be worried?
HA! You’re kidding – right?
Nope. We are gonna WIN this sucker.
Nevertheless, we have to be careful.
We have to be smart.
We have to be cool.
We definitely have to be wary.
Some of us may have to be a bit stealthy.
Some of us may simply be on vacation.
Others may not simply be on vacation.
We have to stay strong….
But we also have to have some fun!
Now in the periodic, random, unpredictable, and unexplained absences of GROWLING, SNARLING WOLVES….
There may be what seem like explosive situations….
However, we believe that higher powers….
And FAITH IN PEACE and IN OURSELVES….
Are all we need to WIN and WIN BIG in this GIFT of a lovingly designed universe.
So stick around for a GOOD TIME.
ENJOY THE SHOW!
Maybe have some POPCORN!
I mean – who KNOWS how much winning there will be?
We are gonna have ONE HECK OF A GOOD TIME!
Because…..
Where We Go One, We Go All.

Another rino and ex alphabet agemcy rep leaving Congress.
He wants to help theNobama intelligence community.
This really pisses me off to no end.
Swampy, Hurd is. Revolving doors in DC… $$$$$ in Hurd’s sights.
Me thinks, nothing patriotic about Hurd.
Yep. WillHurd, the rat…
He didn’t last very long.
Something is up…with these resignations.
He wouldn’t be leaving this fast, if something wasn’t going on.
I’m giving this the side eye:
I want to know what his price was as well as every Republican who is suddenly leavin.
Atleast we have time to find MAGA people to run.
Night and god bless.
Remember the CIA are putting former agents in campaigns….certainly not out of the goodness of their hearts. Most, as I understand, are running for Democrat seats.
My guess is that Hurd is a placeholder…perhaps his work is done.
We had those several with POTUS’ beginning but this is interesting. Dem and Reps…and locations. I wonder if theres a particular connection?
Wait…is he resigning from Congress?
Or is he just announcing that he’s not going to run for reelection.
Some of the other announcements were resignations…so I may be confusing this one with those.
Not running but maybe resigning depending on feedback?
Hurd’s post says not seeking reelection.
If he is resigning I missed it, which is always a possibility.
I’m betting he was offered a high salary, low obligation job with a special interest group he sponsored legislation to make them a ton of money in lucrative government contracts. Investigation will expose any fraud if any.
CIA. Trust him? Hells Bells no! Good bye and I hope we can get a MAGA candidate to replace your sorry DS butt.
Any one with DOJ, FBI, IC Congress is automatically suspect by me.
Me too!
We are getting Coburn like a storm. Every wolfie post. Oh well.
Hurd nedded to go a couple of terms ago. Fairly useless from what I can tell.
Wolf is likely on sabbatical. Coburn is a placeholder.
Just like Q. Hmmmmm …
It does leave us “In Like Flint”, however.
Sabbatical = secret mission!
It is child abuse, its a form of grooming, and the parents are sick. Both kids are trans? No. The older one was looking for social acceptance and the mother probably promoted it. The younger is copying.
Anyone with good intentions for children can see this is wrong.
“It’s not child abuse – it’s being an accepting and loving parent.
In a Daily Mail article published this week, Ben and Sara Kaplan, of Berkeley, Calif., explained why they allowed their two young children to transition at the ages of eight and four.
The family is sharing its story in an attempt to “break the taboo” around trans children following studies that showed a rash of suicides among trans children who weren’t accepted by their families.
Their two children, James, who transitioned from female to male, and Olivia, who transitioned from male to female, say that before the transition, they felt like they had “a piece missing.”
But at the age of eight, James Kaplan, now 11, who was born a biological girl, realized he had to transition from female to male.
And just a few years later a then-four-year-old Olivia Kaplan, now seven, who was born a biological boy, realized she wanted to transition from male to female. Their names at birth have not been revealed.
The family are now sharing their story in the hopes of breaking the taboo around trans children, after statistics revealed an alarming number of suicide among young transgender people whose families are not supportive.
Their parents were surprised when then-8-year-old James (whose birth name wasn’t published, along with the birth name of his sibling) came to them and expressed the desire to transition. They were even more surprised when their then-four-year-old son expressed a similar desire a couple of years later.”

God is pissed.
He’s crying, seeing what we did with the freedom He gave us.
Definately crying to deaf ears lol.
Hey WP – I’m NOT a Russian bot!!!
WP is being unfriendly lately.
I feel so sorry for these little ones. Truly sad stuff. You can bet your booties they have been abused in some way or another. Their parents are sick.
Sadly, they are the ones we will see overdosing, shooting into a school playground, etc. a few years down the road. They get so screwed up and have no idea who they really are…and then lash out at the society that allowed it.
They will also lash out at the society that doesn’t capitulate to trans demands. We are not going to change pronouns, accept their recruiting future generations into their lifestyle, or change our moral, ethical, and societal norms to make life easy for them. Their parents have guaranteed they will have a difficult life, and one where acceptance is found on the fringes where they will be exposed to degeneracy, drugs, and high rates of suicide. The parents have abdicated their responsibility, and it IS abuse.
Yup. Really heartbreaking.
Some good news. I hope this little guy keeps recovering.
“The boy who was thrown from a third-floor balcony at the Mall of America is out of intensive care.
A post on the ‘Go Fund Me Page’ for Landen says he is no longer in intensive care and has been moved to an in-patient physical rehab program at another hospital.
Landen had been in a serious condition at Children’s Hospital in Minneapolis since April.
Landen was thrown nearly 40 feet to the ground by Emmanuel Aranda, who was sentenced to 19 years in prison for attempted first-degree murder.
Here’s the latest update from the family:
The Lord is good, and we are thankful. We are happy to report that our son is no longer in intensive care and has been moved to an inpatient, physical rehab program at another hospital to help him continue to heal and focus on the next phase of his recovery.
There is hard work ahead! And, our beautiful boy has endured much already, but he is strong and his spirit remains vibrant. We continue to be eternally grateful for every prayer, every act of kindness and the love this world has show us throughout this journey. Thank You.”

Giloo – Thank you so much for that update. Such good news. God continue to bless this family and sweet Landon.
Found this over at CitizenFreePress…
Steve Bannon was interviewed by BBC rep down at the Border.
He predicts that the “turmoil over Brexit” is just beginning…I’m guessing he means ‘if they don’t go through with it’.
[youtube
Yeah, if they don’t go through with it, Nigel Farage’s Brexit party is going to take over that government by storm.
Wolfie – Thanks for all the Coburn pics and the cute narrative – very, very clever! That was so fun to read! I forgot how much I enjoyed watching him in movies – so interesting to me how he got even better looking with age. He was a cool dude!
YW! 😀
Just a quick drop in to say hi and hope you aren’t sick of James Coburn by the end of the month. 😉
Making sure placeholder posts are dropping correctly. Looks good. I may update some of them along the way, but probably not.
See ya and have fun while the Wolf’s away. 😎
Keep the shiny side up, W … 🙂
An end of the day chuckle..

Well lets hear this mifsud tape asap.
https://youtu.be/kJ32HbUX9pc
Starts at 515.
Just logged on but have to post this: watching “Hunting ISIS” on Vice – a soldier/medic has picked up a puppy from the side of the road and is getting all the paperwork to bring him back with him from Iraq. He is hugging the puppy and telling him he is going to become a naturalized American citizen, looks down at the puppy and says “Make America Great Again!” I almost fell off my chair!
G’night everyone.
Stay with it. Lol…
Heheh. In other words…Water.
Drink lots of it.
How about a QTree movie review or two?
Toy Story 4
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2 stars
Solid entertainment, fun, good humor, good plot…just like the other 3. Another perfect date night movie.
Speaking of, the 1st one was released in….1995?! Yep. And it’s been almost a decade since #3. 😮
They say it’s the last one they will do, and the ending sure made it seem that way. But Tom Hanks and Tim Allen both say they would do another one, so who knows? I hope they will. We love the Toy Story franchise and it never fails to deliver.
Meanwhile….
Once Upon A Time In Hollywood
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Nostalgic, GREAT music, fun plot, good characters, the scene with Bruce Lee is hilarious, and that ending! Whew!
Tarantino’s 9th film is worth the ticket price. Really enjoyed a film from him with very title violence for a QT movie but lots of character development. Brad Pitt steals the show, and Bruce Dern fans will love his scene. Those of us who were around back in the time this film is portrayed will leave longing to re-live those years. I know I did!
These are the first movies we’ve actually gone to the theater for in a long time.
There ya’ go, it WAS A HOAX!!!!!!
https://twitter.com/StormIsUponUs/status/1157222672389955589
Quelle surprise!
While we may be relieved to hear it, it’s probably too late. A hoax, maybe, but one that is bound to be believed by those conditioned not to question a narrative.
http://www.ignitedquotes.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/Quotes_by_Winston_churchill%20(9).jpg
Reminds me of the whole ‘birther’ attack. Anyone who questioned oblahblah’s history was labeled a birther and racist.
The QAnon/Great Awakening phenomenon is making an impact, the deep state is scared, and so this is how they’re going to attack it.
They will lose. Nothing can stop what is coming.
I must be missing something! Who exposed it is a hoax and where?
There is a link in The Hill article (“an FBI document”) that takes you to SCRIBD and what appears to be a real document from the FBI Phoenix field office. So is this document NOT real? Sheesh……can’t keep this shit straight any more!
This is so sad, my condolences to her family … 😔 ..

Sometimes rescues will take them on, even more so if you can contribute toward their care.
We can the word out here, can’t we? I don’t know how close you are to Texas, or if other Qtreepers could help out in your area. I just hate the thought of having to put pets down!

Minion of the dark side … and a numb nuts .. 😑🤚
Having been bombarded with thousands of “GOP in disarray” stories from Fake News over the decades, I saw my very first EVER “DemocRATS in disarray” on Drudge this morning.
This confirms my totally speculative but devotedly believed opinion that Big Mike will be the candidate.
1) Yesterday, Drudge also had a campaign style image of “Michelle 2020” prominently posted on his site.
2) Drudge has consistently followed the Fake News playbook since the advent of VSG, and the Big Mike propaganda is part of the elaborate nomination plan for Big Mike.
3) (For instance, Drudge has specialized in the “Trump lashes out” phony Narrative).
4) EVERY DemocRAT running has a fatal flaw easily exploited by VSG, and they know this. It might be different if VSG didn’t exist, but he does.
5) Only Big Mike is an exception. He has no fatal flaw in the eyes of the Rats. VSG will find one, WE know, but they do not know. To the Rats, Big Mike solves the VSG problem immediately and categorically. BM is too “sacred” for the Orange Man treatment (in their view).
6) Yes, there is a great deal of delusion about BM’s actual status in the eyes of people who live in the real world, but among the fairies, golems and unicorns she is sacred, flawless, genuine, real.
7) BM also is NOT saddled with the socialist stink hovering around every Rat candidate through the brilliant tactics of VSG. BM does not have to defend the Watermelon New Deal, or Medicare for all, or free health care for invaders. BM gets to start over from a more electable position, and trumps the leftists with his star power.
8) Anyone who has watched Tommy Sotomayor, or simply paid attention to society, knows the accepted magical incantation of The Strong Black Woman. To the extent this description might apply to women who have heroically raised children under difficult circumstances, it makes sense. But it does not apply to that situation. It applies to situations where in your face irrational aggression and irresponsible selfishness is called “strength.”
9) The magical incantation (IMO) will be BM’s campaign: DO YOU SUPPORT A STRONG BLACK WOMAN, OR ARE YOU A RACIST?
10) The magical incantation is, and will be, a very powerful and “irrefutable” allure to many, many millions, black and white, especially among women of all races. The incantation will magically overcome all objections and suspend rational thinking. All the troublesome issues now plaguing the Rats will go away.
11) IMO Harris will be the VP candidate. This will intensify the magical incantation and double-dare the filthy racists to be filthy racists (that is, those who will not vote for BM). The sheer novelty of the ticket will be blared by millions of vuvuzelas, constantly, every day, as if the novelty in itself was a major achievement.
12) I have always regarded Dana Perino as a spoiled pinhead. She never has anything interesting or insightful to say, but there she is. Last night on Tucker she bet a month’s salary that BM will not run because BM has no interest. Perino apparently is unaware that politicians who want something very badly start off by saying how much they do not want it, but they will accept it out of a sense of duty. This is exactly what Fake News has been doing for BM, and Perino fell for it.
13) How will this be done? Watch for the polls, held back before now, which show BM kicking ass. Hollywood will speak. Fake News will be “thoughtful.” Academia will give a settled “scientific” statement on Strong Black Women.
Corporations will make commercials showing the joy of Strong Black Women. There will be a summit of “moderates.” There will be a draft before Iowa. There will be reluctant acceptance. And BM will sweep to the nomination.
I would LOVE to see it happen.
1st – it’s like talking about your terrific ex-boyfriend, in front of the husband you love, to 300 million strangers. The Dems are saying their 24 candidates…….. SUCK.
2nd – Sadly, after Obama, a “black female” will have a more than normal difficult time getting elected. It’s sad and unfair, but Obama’s lackluster performance ruined it for the next person, even if it is his wife.
3rd – I still hold out hope for revelations from FBI/DOJ casting too much taint on the Obamas.
She would go down in flames and forevermore, kill the Obama legacy….. just as Hillary has “Killed Bill”.
#2 we disagree on. The Rats think BO was one of the greatest presidents, and in the general the novelty will be Strong Black Woman, not first African American. BO’s incompetence and race-baiting (and all the evil rest of it) will not be a part of the assessment by the irrational voter bewitched by the incantation, and that will include many, many white women.
As far as #3, IMO that will be a rationale and motivation for Big Mike to run. BM will be righteously opposing the fascism and political terrorism of the Orange Man administration in creating false prosecutions against loyal, patriotic Rats. In this sense, BM HAS to run, to protect BO and his gang.
But this is mostly a fun speculation on my part, and anything can happen, especially with VSG.
I might quibble with the “fun” part, myself. But y’all know where I stand – BM will run! And I agree 110% on Perino – what an air-head nitwit!
I had a conspiracy theory or two about ‘the magic negro’ presidency.
1. What if the Democrats are so racist they put up the worst black they could find so that if they couldn’t reshape America during his term, no black would ever again be nominated no matter how qualified? This was what the Radical Republicans did after the Civil War – they put up any black they could and had a ‘minder’ from the North to make sure he voted the ‘right’ way. They were hated in the South and labelled carpetbaggers after the luggage of the day. By engendering resentment against the freed slaves as representatives, the North ensured that it would be ‘necessary’ to enact increasingly onerous laws to control the dead-end rebels. Of course, this spawned local backlash in the form of the Jim Crow laws which the fed govt could do nothing about (which led to the 14th & 15th amendments).
2. What if DJT supporters (without Trump’s knowledge) set out to promote Mr. Magic Negro among the Democrat Party so that he would be so bad the country would rally behind DJT when he ran?

“Just between us, and the readers of this magazine — there’s zero chance,” Obama responded. “There are so many ways to improve this country and build a better world, and I keep doing plenty of them, from working with young people to helping families lead healthier lives. But sitting behind the desk in the Oval Office will never be one of them. It’s just not for me.”
I believe her. The rigors of campaigning and the demands of the office are not for her.
I saw that. IMO pure propaganda intended to lower the animosity of the other candidates and heighten the Cincinnatus illusion. Meant to pretend there is not a coordinated campaign to make her the nominee without lowering herself to mere debates.
It will be interesting to watch; that’s for sure. Current Dem candidates are being thrown under the bus by the very people who should be uniting the party against Pres. Trump.
Not to mention certain aspects of her life will undoubtedly be exposed….too many citizen researchers and journalists to allow her to get away with what Barry did.
No..she LOVES the good life and no way will she give that up…willingly.
Just turn around EVERYTHING that M.O. said here by 180 degrees and you get the TRUTH:
As long as M.O. and handlers (read: VALJAR) come up with an agreement that makes M.O. a figurehead who signs things and looks good in public like B.O. did, it’s a Go for 2020.

Another part of the Church sounding the alarm on Francis. This is mission diluting plain and simple. It looks like the puppet masters are hell bent on watering down the teaching on marriage and family. Starting withe Pope Saint Pius X, every one for over a hundred years told the cabal to pound sand on that specific topic. So, they installed their own. I have no doubt of that.
https://www.catholicworldreport.com/2019/08/01/jpii-institute-vp-says-schools-identity-is-seriously-threatened/
JPII Institute VP says school’s identity is ‘seriously threatened’
From the article:
“It seems to me that the identity of the Institute is seriously threatened, so it is necessary to present, with respect but clearly, the objective problems within the recent changes, and warn of the danger to the original mission of the Institute, which Pope Francis has clearly said he wants to preserve, not just as a piece of the past, but precisely because it is a source of renewal and a pathway for the Church’s accompaniment to families,” Fr. Jose Granados, DCJM, told CNA July 31.
The priest, who was named in 2013 a consultor to the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, and in 2018 a consultor to the Dicastery for the Laity, Family, and Life, spoke to CNA about a recently published letter signed by more than 250 students and alumni of the Institute.
The students expressed concern about the Institute’s new statutes, or governing documents, about the dismissal of some faculty members, and about the future of their own studies at the Institute.
New statutes were called for by Pope Francis in 2017, when the pope announced he would broaden the Institute’s focus: while previously it had focused on the theology of marriage and the family, the graduate school’s curriculum would be changed to incorporate social sciences and other approaches to studying the family. After a lengthy drafting process, the new statutes were approved and publicly released earlier this month.
Granados said that since the pope announced the changes to the institute in 2017, “we have been working for a renewal in continuity, as indicated by our Holy Father Francis. The desire of the pope has been to support the Institute, expand it, promote it, as Monsignor Sequeri [the Institute’s president] told us at the beginning.”
The priest said that he and other faculty members were surprised by the final draft of the statutes, which many did not see until after it was approved by the Vatican’s Congregation for Catholic Education.
Granados told CNA that the new statutes make several major changes:
The new statutes, he said, “decrease the presence of professors in the Institute’s leadership council: stable teachers now have only two representatives, while before all participated, from their different chairs. This applies to the entire academic life of the Institute: it decreases the collegial contribution of the stable professors to pass doctoral theses or [assist in developing] the curriculum.”
In addition, he said, “the appointment of new professors, decisive for an academic community, is now under the direct influence of the Grand Chancellor. If the procedure is carefully examined, it will be almost impossible for the faculty to oppose a candidate promoted by the Grand Chancellor,” he added.
“The loss of collegiality is astonishing, because in an interdisciplinary institute, which is characterized by studying the same object – marriage and family – from the points of view of each discipline, the contribution of all teachers in their different chairs is needed, be it to examine the curriculum, be it to approve doctoral theses, be it for the election of the new members of the faculty. And this should be recognized as a right in the statutes, because it is a vital point of the institution.”
“In addition, in the new statutes there is a decisive change: the drastic reduction of moral theology,” Granados added.
“In the official statement of the Institute issued on July 29, it is said that moral theology finds a new placement and it is pointed out that there are two chairs of morality, the morality of love and marriage, on the one hand, and the ethics of life, for another. What is not said is that, according to the old statutes, there were already two chairs that covered these subjects (a chair of special morals, for sexuality and marriage, and one of bioethics). Nor is it said that in the new curriculum the marriage morality… now have only 3 credits, half that of most other chairs.”
“Morality, therefore, has been reduced by half and not only that: they have thrown out to the teachers who taught it: Melina, Noriega and, for bioethics, Maria Luisa di Pietro.”
I think our President’s election caused their evil plan to go into warp speed. God wins.

Napoleon was right when he said, “I know men, and I tell you, Jesus is more than a man. Comparison is impossible between Him and any other human being who ever lived, because He was the Son of God.” Emerson was right when he replied to those who asked him why he did not include Jesus among his Representative Men, “Jesus was not just a man.” Arnold Toynbee was right when he said, “As we stand and gaze with our eyes fixed upon the farther shore, a simple figure rises from the flood and straightway fills the whole horizon of history. There is the Savior.”

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/corey-lewandowski-is-strongly-considering-running-for-senate-in-new-hampshire?fbclid=IwAR3NdxK3mcm42G0960r2m4K-5uVgwCkBEi2J7f5xx6OAddqJTRS6wd4ZCT8
Me thinks Corey would win.
If Corey runs, Trump rallies in NH and surrounding States. Slow memory catching up. Manchester 15 August. Corey will get lots of press interviews.
Name recognition…linked to President Trump…winning is contagious.
Corey runs, wins, Rs pick up s Senate seat;-)
kal, you mention something that folks should keep in mind – and that’s the concept of people being attached,and responding to the concept of having voted for a “Winner” –
I do believe that Obama’s election shifted some of what we normally have seen in this country, but once free of Obama, and if long enough, and enough gets done, we’ll be on the path of people liking to be associated with a winner. It’s why DJT absolutely does have incumbency on his side.
Look, Obama won in 2012, and he was no longer the golden haired boy, in fact he lost 5-6 million votes – only Romney threw the election… DJT POTUS hasn’t lost a single one of his votes, and is gaining more all the time – DJT, the candidate who wasn’t “liked” – all odds against him, but won… Now he has everything working for him.
Just my 2 cents.
Your two cents = a kilo of Democrat gold.
A little story about my family back in 1492. We were kicked out of Spain for being Jewish. Eventually wound up in Turkey before emigrating through Ellis Island. Gives you an idea of where my attitude comes from. To this day, Spanish authorities have asked me if I want citizenship. I guess it is their version of a do-over.
https://m.jpost.com/Diaspora/Spanish-Inquisition-527-years-ago-Jews-in-Spain-made-impossible-choice-597298
How hard is the process? Can you get dual citizenship?
Spain is a wonderful place to retire – your American money goes a long way – and from what I saw the last time I was there, Spanish Jews seem very open and uninhibited in their practice. The Inquisition is a tourist attraction now.
If they could offer a “permanent residency option” they could likely get even more takers.
The procedure is a little difficult – I have to get 2 authorities (rabbis) to certify my family heritage. Plus the paperwork. Dual citizenship is what they offered me with a permanent residence option if I wanted. I have never been there.
Take a trip! Kick the tires! But be prepared to fall in love – very risky. 😎 😀 <3
when were you there Wolf?
Back to Big Mike. Jacobson at LI has been a long time advocate (unbeknownst to me) that BM would be the nominee. His latest article includes links to other articles he has written saying the same thing. For those who like to speculate about politics, this is interesting:
https://legalinsurrection.com/2019/08/michael-moore-only-michelle-obama-can-save-us-from-4-more-years-of-trump/
I disagree with Jacobson on the timing. He thinks it will happen at the convention. That makes no sense to me. It is too risky, and it could engender bitter backlash.
I think it will happen well before the convention, and even as early as Iowa. That way BM will enter the convention to universal acclamation and acceptance. Half the present candidates would immediately endorse the idea. And the other half will be bought off and blackmailed into acceptance.
You can see the rising panic currently growing. It will be hysterical and clamorous in the near future.
And BTW, I am not the greatest searcher, but I did a search on push back against the Big Mike meme, and there is virtually none. Despite all the “debunking” against “conspiracy theories” there seems to be very little against this one. Which is understandable because any normal person who looks at Big Mike would say: that looks like a dude!
I agree with you about the timing. Inserting her at the convention, when other candidates have gone through the rigors and expense of campaigning, would cause hard feelings and resentment, the opposite of what is needed in a campaign to defeat a sitting president.
Then the Democrats have a big problem, and it isn’t just the hard feelings which might happen at the convention if they manage to insert Michelle Obama as the nominee… The problem?
This AP story in my local commie rag (8/02/19), headline:
“Biden wrestles with ‘burden’ of Obama”
I believe that misery of the Obama years isn’t that far from people’s memories, and the fact that Hillary – lost rather than continue his radical leftward tilt of the country, reinforces that Michelle wouldn’t be the candidate in 2020. They need someone who is expendable to lose in 2020, and they wouldn’t want that person to be Michelle Obama.
Perhaps down the road, but IMO, Michelle likes her luxury lifestyle and hobnobbing with the rich and famous too much to return to the constraints of the White House.
Besides, I have faith that DJT POTUS is going to fulfill his promise of #Never Again and his takedown of the criminal enterprise of the Democrat Party, GOP-e collaborators, and the MSM is going to do a job on the Dem party – again, meaning that Michelle Obama isn’t going to want to be the one to do down with them…
Could very well be, no question. I think she is first and foremost a hater of America, and that is her chief “pleasure.” She wants to destroy America every bit as much as BO.
Not for a second do I buy the propaganda that she loves her private life too much.
That is part of the Cincinnatus Narrative coming soon to your Fake News outlet.
Mrs. Obama claims she is not interested.
So? It also claims to be a female!
Oh that made me laugh!
now that was funny
That is her claim, and the much broadcasted claim of Fake News.
I think it is total baloney. If BM was NOT interested, she would NOT foreclose the possibility of her interest. That is how BO and BM would keep their hand in, by tantalizing.
IMO she is shrewdly (but rather blatantly) encouraging the Cincinnatus scenario.
This lack of anti-BM pushback deserves a meme.
How about quoting the excerpt from her interview (zero chance …) and then ‘explaining’ it – about how much she has already ‘done her patriotic duty’; about how it is unseemly to presume being a First Lady somehow qualifies a person to run on her own; about the work she can accomplish now that she is outside of the DC bubble; etc.
BM could simply apply Republican talking points retroactively to her stint in the slave-built house and/or incorporate them into a plan of action by a private citizen.
She will not run because she is too valuable to sacrifice. That value is mainly in her own mind but it controls all.
Good morning, it’s a little quiet on here today..
Q info you ask ?

“Good morning, it’s a little quiet” . . . well,
It’s a beautiful morning, ahh
I think I’ll go outside a while and just smile
Just take in some clean fresh air, boy
Ain’t no sense in staying inside
If the weather’s fine and you got the time
It’s your chance to wake up and plan another brand new day
Either way, it’s a beautiful morning, ahh
Each bird keeps singing his own song, so long
I’ve got to be on my way now
Ain’t no fun just hanging around
I’ve got to cover ground, you couldn’t keep me down
It just ain’t no good if the sun shines
When you’re still inside
Shouldn’t hide, still inside, shouldn’t hide
My wife was just now pointing that out to me, though somewhat less poetically.
Hmm…..found this Tweet re: the alleged FBI document on conspiracy theories – highlights some of the questions.

He’s such a good man
SMDH – decided to peruse the comment thread OT- BIG mistake!!!! Good grief! The Eeyores!!!! starfcker (one of the worst I have EVER seen) and Rynn69 = gloom-and-doomers all the way. I will not copy their dribble here! Sheesh!
I hope those who lurk here see your evaluation.
I do, and concur….read his articles but have stopped wasting my time reading comments
Hmmmm….Washington Times also picked up the Yahoo story……still looking for the evidence this was “officially” debunked…..can someone help me out here? Don’t want to spread inaccurate info…..yes, LOOKS hinky to many but our government has put out some pretty out-there crap before……just sayin.’ NDAA allows indefinite detention of American citizens, as an example.
Here:

According to my reading of that, it backs it up rather than debunking it? Or am I just being particularly dense today? Oh, my poor brain!
The way it is described, almost ANY GROUP could b described as conspiracy theorists.
Move on . org

The one sided analysis, and cherry picking of cases is alarming…..
…… if the document is real.
Well, now…..scumbag DR Congo illegals demanding houses in Portland!!!
FTA: The money Prince Pombo is talking about is the $850,000 (give or take a few thousand) that generous do-gooder Americans have sent for the care of the African asylum seekers who arrived recently (and unexpectedly!) in Maine after illegally crossing the US southern border.
(See all of my previous posts on the migration of the DR Congolese to Maine by clicking here.)
And, so you don’t forget, we have admitted 50,000 from the DR Congo through the US Refugee Admissions Program and thousands more through the Diversity Visa Lottery which begs the question: couldn’t they wait their turn for legal admission to the US?
Apparently not, and this story (hat tip: Frank) about one of their spokesmen—Prince Pombo—raises even more questions.
He says he traveled for three years after leaving the DR Congo. He even lived in Brazil and married a local woman there. Why didn’t he ask for asylum in the safe country of Brazil? or any other safe country he entered over those three years? Fishy, very fishy!
https://fraudscrookscriminals.com/2019/08/01/an-asylum-seeker-in-maine-says-the-congolese-want-houses-question-where-is-our-money/
The mass delusion that any of the ‘immigrants”/asylum seekers is anything but a semi hostile takeover is stunning to me.
I know it’s a stereotype but I always thought of people from Maine as cautious, smart and could spot a fraudster a mile away.
TALES FROM WOLF’S EXTREME VETTING
“I’m here to insult one of your members – why don’t you let me in?”
File this under “can’t make it up”. 😀
Just gonna drop this here. It’s educational.
[Placeholder] daily mode means checking in for moderation and spam is pretty much it, to keep site smooth in my absence. So it’s a whole ‘nuther view of the site.
Spam engine catches all kinds of “fake actual poster” spam that pretends to be real individual humans interested in posts. The spam is good, but the spam interception engine is better. The engine (Akismet) is very damn good at it, actually. Sometimes the AI (which is just
humannaturalintelligentinformation thinking at algorithm level encoded, but I digress – OK – let’s just call it “I” instead of “AI”) – sometimes it isn’t sure and at chucks out certain spam by certain algorithms for ME to decide. It’s actually very good at sorting out the products of those algorithms, so I see them bunched, typically, and can even examine the variability used by the spam authors to try to get past the engine.That’s the background.
Somebody “real” posted here for the first time, and their post didn’t just go into moderation – it went into SPAM.
More background.
Typically, this sort of thing (real person going to “possible spam”) is reserved for people who cross-post widely and indiscriminately across WordPress – in other words, they spam their own stuff everywhere. There is some site called www(dot)biblefreedom(dot)com or something like that which drops ridiculously long posts all the time. Very annoying. This may have been why “PROVERBS” was being sent to trash at CTH – “proverbs” being a poorly chosen string of text used to remove this particular VERY annoying spam straight to trash.
[As an aside, WordPress should really have a SEPARATE “auto-go-to-oblivion” feature in SPAM, instead of “auto-go-to-trash” preceding the spam examination, because human-identified spam going to trash mixes up stuff you MIGHT want to fish out (from normal people) with spam you’ve already decided needs to go.]
SO – anybody who goes into spam THAT I CAN SEE for the first time – (since it may just be the first time the spam engine didn’t send them straight to auto-oblivion, and actually let me look at them) – these posts get ENORMOUS side-eye from me – much more than anybody else.
You show up in SPAM the first time, you get WHEATIE levels of side-eye!
And what was the content from this “probably spammy” person? They were insulting one or more posters here! Some people would say “troll”, but whatever the point was, the psychology was interesting – already hints of the “I challenge you to live up to purity ideals” – yada, yada, yada – you know the type.
It was pretty “drive-by”, however, as in WHO TF would let the person in? They HAVE to get this – right? I was thinking no way this person was coming back.
So anyway – SURPRISE, SURPRISE, SURPRISE – this person NEXT shows up in regular moderation! And they had the GALL to ask about “growing” the “tree”. Like I said, “challenge to purity” troll.
Growing? Like adding a piece of (WHATEVER) on a string as an ornament? Or maybe BAGWORMS?
Yeah, that’s a great idea. Let’s bring in somebody who already shows intent to DIVIDE THE SITE and DRIVE VALUED MEMBERS AWAY.
I mean, seriously. First post is to INSULT members here? And then you want in?
Let’s just say we were not born yesterday. This is a REFUGE – in large part from people like this particular commenter. We FORMED as a refuge from insult, mockery, derision and intolerance.
AND IT FEELS GOOD, MAN!
(Thought the gals here would get a kick out of Pepe earrings!)
There are very nice people who don’t get in here simply because I cannot vet out the remote possibility that they are actually enemies of this site, this President, and our MAGA/KAG mission – people who intend to discredit and disrupt, who POSE as worthy posters to get in. So it is doubly sad when somebody who makes no bones about wanting to pick a fight wants into this “perpetual Trump rally”, and even thinks for a moment that this is possible or desirable.
You’ve seen the Trump rallies. You saw the sneak-in disruption protesters at the last one. And it gets worse. There is a real spiritual war going on here, and the degrees of controlled and multiply manipulated opposition are off the charts. Sometimes the difference between tolerating that stuff for a TRUMP LEVEL WIN and keeping it out to KEEP THE LARGER COURSE is a hard call. The handling of the annoying megaphone street preacher at the last Trump rally was a real work of art by the White Hats, IMO. FREE SPEECH WON. “In God We Trust” won. Both inside and outside. But rest assured – the SPIRITUAL BATTLE was on – both inside and outside. And if you’re having a hard time telling people apart in the heat of battle, welcome to WAR.
SO – my apology to all the real posters that we can’t let in here.
Sometimes it’s an EASY CALL, like when somebody is clearly looking for a fight. Other times it’s not. Sometimes it’s very hard. But we appreciate your lurking here – it’s VALUED.
Many thanks, Wolf, for this site and your protection of it.
Perhaps you can suggest a route for real posters to verify…esp since gab is a no go yet.
If I think of something, I will. Thanks. Gab messaging should be back soon, BTW – possibly by the end of Hot August.
Gotta say, the wisdom of Proverbs and Psalms always made me a bit stunned by the fact that the term “Proverbs” was somehow banned at CTH. That is a very quick fix, IMO.
Other may take a different tack, but my own life is made much more peaceful by avoiding mockery. Proverbs is the wisdom of kings and the wisdom of the King. Leadership is effective when that wisdom is studied and applied. Prophets seem to have a different rule book!
What these Truths said.
..nice shot .
Extreme vetting works !
Interesting and thanks for sharing. My favorite part: “perpetual Trump rally”
Love the Pepe Earrings, boss!
Haaaa. 😆👍
Thank you for your continued vigilance in keeping the disruption trolleos out.
Much appreciated!
when will this stop!!
I’m doing the MAGA equivalent of REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I see only two possibilities. It’s either a perv lying about their proclivities to gain acces to children, or it’s a mentally ill person. In either case, they need to be stopped. It used to be that society would make fun of people like that and they would be shunned. That is cruel in some instances, and I’m not saying it’s the right thing to do, just that it had a way of maintaining the status quo. But the political correctness police now guarantee that everyone’s behavior must be not only accepted, but also “loved” and embraced, because “diversity is our strength.” It’s an insidious way to destroy society and gain power over it.
That one that’s been in the news..janis the one that has been suing to get his scrotum waxed….the way he groomed girls online..was act and claim to be a teen, then gain their confidence, then ask ridiculously personal questions..and then start crying about his “periods” and his uncontrollable orgasms and the need for sanitary pads..etc etcetc
There are more and more kids being brought up to not ever make a judgement call…nothing is right or wrong anymore..there’s a place at the table for all perversions
I think that in some ways there is a parallel between Freud’s theories of perverse attractions being developmental dysfunctions – immaturities, so to speak – and the actual pathologies of people failing to advance their sexual orientations in a healthy way as they grow up.
Nevertheless, it doesn’t matter. Even if we allow a certain amount of individual leeway in terms of sexual “lack of development” or “whatever it is / however one wants to view it”, the fact is that SOCIETY’S HEALTH and INDIVIDUAL HEALTH may not be the same thing. These do not have to track together to remain part off a self-consistent worldview. THAT idea is a communist oversimplification – a TRICK.
Pedo cannot be tolerated societally. END OF STORY. It’s a society-killer. AWAY WITH IT. “Pedos as victims is perhaps true on some level – particularly how the DISORDER PROPAGATED”. That “victim status” does not mean we must help it propagate. That is a societally destructive idea.
It’s almost diabolically clever. Pedos that IDENTIFY as children in a 2019 world that refuses to condemn because identifying as any gender and age automatically makes it ‘true’ and to question it is homophobic
Where’s that fire and brimstone when we need it?? .
I don’t think they’re sexually immature at all…they’ve discovered that this “lifestyle” can give them unfettered access to the objects of their desire..children. They can get their rocks off anytime they want because they can have their ‘age appropriate’ friends over. All good. Woke parents falling over themselves to let their kids play with these wackoffs
“Woke”? To these morons, “woke” into WHAT FRESH HELL is my response!!! Woke into a NIGHTMARE!

Scribed Doc
ON PAGE 9 = QANON is specifically mentioned!!!!!!!
LOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The source is SNOPES
referencing an article
“The Roots of Pedophile Ring Conspiracy Theories”, 2 September, 2018.
The “article” is published by Snopes, author Bethania Palma, and it’s about Comet Ping Pong.
Take a look and see if you think it is objective.
https://www.snopes.com/news/2018/09/02/roots-pedophile-ring-conspiracy-theories/
And THENNNNNNNN, the alleged FBI field office in AZ, references this article, taking as gospel, QANON is related to Piz za gat
See the circle????
It’s almost exactly what they did in FISA docs/Russia hoax using preferred media.
And never and question about the reliability of Snopes/the author/etc.
I understand all of that. Here is my question: is this a REAL document put out by the FBI Phoenix Field Office or not?
I do not know.
My guess is = no.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/local-fbi-field-office-warns-of-conspiracy-theory-driven-domestic-extremists/ar-AAFbZMm
“The document came in the form of an intelligence bulletin, intended for other law enforcement agencies but not for public disclosure, from a local FBI field office about how “fringe political conspiracy theories very likely motivate some domestic extremists to commit criminal, sometimes violent activity.”
The bulletin, which was first reported by Yahoo News on Thursday, was circulated May 30 and said the assessments were “made with high confidence” based on information from other law enforcement agencies, court documents, FBI investigations and other sources.
“The FBI assesses anti-government, identity based, and fringe political conspiracy theories very likely motivate some domestic extremists, wholly or in part, to commit criminal and sometimes violent activity,” the document reads. “The FBI further assesses in some cases these conspiracy theories very likely encourage the targeting of specific people, places, and organizations, thereby increasing the likelihood of violence against these targets.”
The assessment was written by the FBI’s Phoenix field office and was not a product of the FBI headquarters or other members of the U.S. intelligence community. The FBI declined to comment.”
In the bottom of the doc, however, the Anons determined it was a “template”
It just seems incredibly odd that the FBI would source Wikipedia, Rational Wiki, and Snopes.
It makes no sense.
No high schooler is allowed to do that.
Hehe – I would say, “highly improbable”
Since they seemed to dwell on their degrees of probability.
The Socialist Fake News Media KEEPS TRYING to set us up as “violent” to shut down free speech.
They are HORRID! Worse than the SOCIALIST DEMOCRATS!
This morning, the Washington Post published the latest “turmoil” at the NRA article. It is available OUTSIDE THE PAYWALL, meaning they want it to be read by anyone and everyone.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/three-nra-board-members-resign-in-latest-sign-of-upheaval-at-gun-rights-group/ar-AAFc4KN
Title: Three NRA board members resign in latest sign of upheaval at gun rights group
Before reading the story and falling for the “excessive expenses” line, which will get Americans dander up every time when it comes in relation to “non-profits” (in this case, “tax exempt” is really the better term), I think there’s something else afoot, and it isn’t simply trying to oust Wayne LaPierre who is one of the most effective speakers on gun advocacy there is. There’s an effort to get Americans to quit their memberships after the same fashion that happened with Wounded Warrior Project. The reason being, I would imagine, is that the NRA is effective at its most important program in the mission: lobbying.
The first clue in the story linked above that something was off was that Oliver North, a man I don’t trust (gut level thing) was the first to call attention to legal fees being “high.” Without seeing the numbers, there is no way to know, and other than vague “Wayne LaPierre is fiscally irresponsible” there are no details to back the claim. And there is a reason why.
Because the NRA is a 501c4, not a 3, they are not required by the rating systems (Charity Navigator) to disclose audited financial statements, their 990, or annual reports on their website. The 990 on Charity Navigator’s site is membership only, behind a pay wall. That means that the NRA’s funding sources are confidential. Yes, there are a lot of memberships, but really, there could be seven and eight figure underwriters we know nothing about.
Second, the legal fees line item is the only specific one mentioned. In any business, tax exempt or not, legal fees are overhead. An organization like the NRA, that gets sued on a regular basis, is going to have a large legal bill every year. Lawyers aren’t going to take on an organization that sucks up the sort of billable hours the NRA does pro bono. They’re not going to give much of a discount, either. And considering how well funded the opposition is, having top notch lawyers is a must. They are not cheap.
The main complaint in the article linked above is from three out of seventy something members of the NRA’s board (what organization needs that many board members?) who were removed from committee assignments for questioning spending, but the details on what the spending is was never explained. Before taking that complaint too seriously with a group whose primary mission is advocacy, consider and remember that all 51 capitols, state and fed, are going to have lobbyists who live there when the legislature is in session. Their job is to be the face of the organization for the “lawmakers,” meaning they are at the capitol ALL THE TIME and have sizeable expense accounts. Yes, these people are mercenary sales sorts, but they still need the tools to do their jobs effectively.
There is disagreement, according to the article on the need for an annual meeting, which is in Anchorage this year. Allan West doesn’t think it’s necessary. The board members who are lobbyists or former lobbyists are firmly behind LaPierre and his efforts.
That being the case, another aspect to this story that is curious is the Charity Navigator ranks the NRA as moderate following a string of bad publicity.
https://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=search.summary&orgid=18061
On April 27, 2019, it came to the attention of Charity Navigator that National Rifle Association of America is the subject of an investigation by The New York State Office of the Attorney General according to an article titled, “N.R.A. President to Step Down as New York Attorney General Investigates.” For this reason, we have issued a Moderate Concern CN Advisory. For more information regarding the charges reported, please see The New York Times article.

DP picks up:
Honestly, the NRA controversy, etc., IMO, is manufactured using the frugality and expenses issue to get people to abandon it like happened to the Wounded Warrior Project. WWP WAS run poorly. The NRA? They’re awfully effective. Poorly run organizations are not effective.
Something else is going on.
P.S. If this does not make sense, I’m being talked at. Hard to concentrate.
“Something else is going on.”
Of course there is, and…broadly speaking….we know what it is. To wit:
Like the Boy Scouts and every single conservative organization or church out there, it’s been infiltrated by leftists who are working to bring it down.
The only question is, how?
The left is MANIACAL about getting the guns on behalf of China and (to some weird but lingering extent) Russia – absolutely DO NOT buy the Butina psy-op bullshit). NRA has been stopping them like CHAMPS.
Yeah, NRA is beating back the left. If somebody doesn’t think they’re working, they can join GOA. Better yet, join BOTH!!! 😀
I just don’t want people to fall for the “excessive expenses” argument with no supporting documentation. Americans tend to do that. So many are so fastidious about thrift that recognizing when something really is going to be expensive and you get what you pay for can be a head banging experience for many.
That was my main point. And that Oliver North was involved was just fishy.
Supposedly, there were a great deal of personal expenses, including a very large number for wardrobe, luxury travel expenses, etc….basically a CEO out of control. True? Who knows.
La Pierre is being targeted. That much is obvious. And we don’t know what is in the compensation package or contract. This is pretty gossipy stuff.
“Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker is facing the greatest crisis of his political career. And try as he might, the growing scandal at the Registry of Motor Vehicles threatens to bring down his administration.
This week’s shocking 7-hour testimony in front of the state Joint Committee on Transportation has blown the lid off RMVgate. After hearing from multiple senior RMV officials and Transportation Secretary Stephanie Pollack, one conclusion is clear: The RMV has blood on its hands.
On June 21, Volodymyr Zhukovskyy plowed his truck into a group of Jarheads motorcyclists in Randolph, New Hampshire. The results were 7 dead—including 5 Marines—and 3 injured. Zhukovskyy should never have been allowed to be on the road that day. Over a month earlier, he had been arrested for another OUI in Connecticut. He also refused a chemical test—which automatically should’ve triggered revoking his commercial driver’s license.
Except it didn’t. Why? Because when Connecticut sent its electronic and manual notifications to the Massachusetts RMV, rather than being immediately processed, they simply sat collecting dust along with tens of thousands of other out-of-state notifications in 72 bins. The RMV engaged in criminal neglect.”
https://www.bostonbroadside.com/showcase/kuhners-corner-kuhners-corner-charlie-bakers-watergate/
another quote from the article…this is probably the standard at every DMV across the country~~~
More importantly, I know Baker is not telling the truth. A whistleblower, speaking on the condition of anonymity, admitted to me telling Baker directly that the RMV was crippled not only by a massive backlog but also with illegal aliens receiving phony driver’s licenses. In other words, Baker knew there are thousands of dangerous drivers who have no business being on the roads. Yet, to protect the cronyism and countless hacks within the state bureaucracy, he refused to lift a finger.
The key figure in RMVgate is Mindy D’Arbeloff, Baker’s Deputy Chief of Customer Service and Constituent Affairs. Sources close to Baker have told me that the governor personally tasked D’Arbeloff to oversee the RMV. They have been close friends since childhood. The sources say that Baker gave D’Arbeloff one overriding goal: to reduce wait times at the RMV—at the expense of all other priorities, including public safety. She ran roughshod over senior RMV officials, creating massive agency-wide resentment. Waiting times went down. The RMV, however, was left in shambles.
And this is what the Fake News tried to pass off as a “motorcycle accident” without giving the vital details about this “migrant” from Ukraine, or the typical malign neglect of a bureaucracy staffed with communists from head to toe.
Won’t be leaving the White House
Bottom line – on Yahoo News Article about QANON, which allegedly came from the FBI Field Office.
There are 9 events analyzed in this piece of work, 5 of them happened before Q started posting.
The ONLY tie to Q in the entire article is a single reference to an “article” written by Snopes author, Bethania Palma, which is an opinion piece, talking about pizza / gate found here: https://www.snopes.com/news/2018/09/02/roots-pedophile-ring-conspiracy-theories/
The FBI “piece” never questions the authority of this piece by Bethania Palma, problems with Snopes accuracy in the past, merely says Snopes is the largest fact-checking site on the net.
Objectively speaking, it would be impossible to do a proper analysis of “Anti-Government, Identity based, and Fringe Political Conspiracy Theories very likely to motivate some domestic extremists to commit criminal, sometimes violent activity” —- without taking a look at anti- fa and other groups, along with militia groups, black theology groups, etc.
And to make any kind of assumption about motivation……
…….. without referencing mental illness….
…….. is irresponsible……
……. which leads me to believe it is a bogus paper.
In other words, it was not the conspiracy theory which motivated the violence (with high probability) (no way the FBI would use this language), it was the mental illness which caused the action —- with a far greater degree of probability.
And to analyze only 9 instances ——- does not a study make.
What is also very odd – especially for the FBI to rely upon the article —- is how much of Bethania Palma’s article and assumptions about QAnon are lifted from a website called “Rational Wiki” — which can be edited at any time.
Does that sound like a solid source to you?

As I suspected this would happen, John Ratcliffe has pulled his nomination as head of DNI. POTUS will be offering a new nominee.
What BS!!!! Dang, this ticks me off!!! DON’T CUT AND RUN, Ratcliffe!!!!
For all we know, our VSG ran his flag up the pole to draw some fire, fully expecting it to be tough. From the President’s tweet, our VSG is taking responsibility for the decision to pull back. War is hell.
I think he wouldn’t have made it thru the confirmation process. Too many GOP refusing. JMO
Some battles are taken on (Brent K.) others are deferred.
We also do need him in Congress…..hope he is re-elected next year. However, it appears he may have a problem with exaggerating his past accomplishments…..altho this IS MSN, after all.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/john-ratcliffe-trump-s-pick-to-lead-u-s-intelligence-claims-he-arrested-300-illegal-immigrants-in-a-single-day-he-didn-t/ar-AAFctBr?li=BBnb2gh
I agree. This was a balk of sorts to get people to jump to the bait.
Grrr! We know this is going to happen to any nominee who would actually be good at the job. I wish Ratcliffe would stand up to it like Kavanaugh did.
Here is his tweet
https://twitter.com/RepRatcliffe/status/1157354811085479936?s=20
Curious: why did you think this was going to happen? What was your tip off or your analysis that Ratcliffe wouldn’t stay the course?
I sure as heck didn’t see it coming and I am disappointed. The beautiful thing is that we will win in the end so we keep on Trumpin’ through the set backs! 🙂
Burr was immediately negative about it. He just needed 3 more and it would be scuttled. Easy NOs are Murkowski, Romney and Collins.
Dammit, John Radcliffe withdraws as DNI nominee!!
Damn RINOs!!!!
I can’t believe he’s doing that. Doesn’t he get that ANYONE POTUS nominates who is any good is going to get that same treatment? Sometimes you just have to suck it up and do what’s right, no matter what the mob decides to do. Like Kavanaugh did. But no, he’s going to go cower in the corner like all the RINOs do.
Angers me! That means the PAC (Feinstein’s former staff that has a $50 million budget) keeps winning! 🤬🤯
Sickening, sickening, sickening.
President is supposed to get his chosen nominees.
He needs counsel from those whom he trusts.
Sue Gordon – when Comey, Brennan, Rosenstein, and the press, all love her – I don’t.
My sentiments exactly.
My guess: this was anticipated.
And gamed.
Except for Ratcliffe being a RINO, I agree…
…unless they just found out something about Ratcliffe they didn’t know before…
…or unless this was scripted in advance to make bad guys waste air time, bandwidth, and ammo denouncing Ratcliffe, before the real nominee is announced.
Ratcliffe is RINO?
https://www.conservativereview.com/scorecard/john-ratcliffe/
No, I don’t think so. But the comment I was responding to could be interpreted that way.
… nuts … ☹️
Well – at least his seat is safe!
Look for a bunch to retire and give away their seats to Democrats.
President Trump just announced a major EU trade policy on U.S. beef exports to Europe.
A.O.C. immediately decried this expansion of beef exports when she heard there would be many more Beef Hearts consumed. She is totally against Beef Hearts as they cause Global Warming. She would like to ban all Beef Hearts. /s 🙂
… well alrighty then .. 🤨 …. she can offer Europe hers … it’s not like she’s using it .. but then maybe .. 😖🤚 it’s all dried up and shriveled from all the hate … 😞

I dont have a twit account but POTUS is completely blocked. Same with Jr. Account.
I don’t have a Twitter account either, but I had no problem accessing President Trump’s tweets. FWIW.

You can also always go to
https://qmap.pub
and hit the rectangular blue on back POTUS: on button at the top. If you don’t see it, hit the menu button on the page, at the top.
The advantages this way are that it’s not immediately dependant on @jackboot and his Fascist organization, and also that you see all the Q drops that day interspersed with the Trump tweets, in chronological order, with timestamps for both down to the second.
So you can determine the deltas for yourself by eyeball, rather than rely on someone else.
For example, you can look at presidential tweets and Q drops yesterday, and see that the 4 China tweets that crashed the market yesterday together constituted a Q proof, as they were all stamped exactly 3’33” (half of 666?) after a Q drop that said “C before D, Coats before Declas, The month of AUGUST is traditionally very HOT.,…”
Or you can search for msgs from Feb 17 this year, and count that there were 12 tweets and 17 Q drops. (17 drops on the 17th day of the 17th month of Q drops, ‘q’ being the 17th letter of the alphabet. What are the odds?)
You will quickly find a presidential tweet from the 1st half of a particular minute on Feb 17, and see that it followed a Q drop from the 2nd half of the previous minute. And that there were 2 tweets earlier that day, each of which was from the same hour and minute as a respective Q drop. So there were 12 Trump tweets that Sunday, and 25% of them were within one minute of an earlier Q drop. What are the odds?
**blue on black** button, not “back”
Rep. John Ratcliffe, R-Texas, President Donald Trump’s pick to be the new director of national intelligence, will remain in Congress and not be nominated for the post, the commander-in-chief announced Friday.
“Rather than going through months of slander and libel, I explained to John how miserable it would be for him and his family to deal with these people,” Trump tweeted Friday afternoon.
….John has therefore decided to stay in Congress where he has done such an outstanding job representing the people of Texas, and our Country. I will be announcing my nomination for DNI shortly.
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 2, 2019
“John has therefore decided to stay in Congress where he has done such an outstanding job representing the people of Texas, and our Country,” he added.
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/white-house/ratcliffe-will-not-be-nominated-intelligence-chief-job-trump-says-n1038806
I assume Coats is still leaving on August 15th and an acting director will be put in place, or the assistant director will take over? I have no doubt Pres. Trump has got this. He likes to use acting directors to accomplish his goals, too.
I smell a much bigger rat.
Yeah, something is up with this. Trump didn’t just “explain” to Ratcliffe how tough this was going to be; do people really think Ratcliffe didn’t know? What, he was in a coma during the Kavanaugh debacle?
No, there is more here than meets the eye. I’m sure Ratcliffe has been through enough elections to have had the full proctological exam, so it isn’t Dem dirt. I just don’t know what it IS.
The wording sounds almost as though POTUS wanted him to withdraw…or, maybe internal polling indicated a tough road and POTUS wanted to spare him.
Yes. And we’re not operating with all the facts here. There might’ve been something semi-sticky in Ratcliffe’s past. We don’t know.
Yes his warning seems odd….
At the end of the day I might not like it but POTUS has a better look at the field so I trust in Trump.
Yesterday during the helicopter presser, one of the reporters asked the President about a felony that Ratcliffe supposedly had. Wonder if this is why the withdrawal has occurred.
On another note, wondering if anyone else has the problem of being unable to read the reply chains as they get reduced to one letter per line? I read this site on my phone and turn it sidewise and still have this problem. Can something be corrected as I don’t have the same problem when I go to CTH? Thanks.
I long since gave up trying to do any meaningful browsing of the internet over a mobile phone. My e-mailer doesn’t work worth a damn on mobile either.
The fix would probably be to allow one less level of replies, but that would aggravate a lot of people here…or possibly find a different page style that doesn’t indent quite as much. (It’s frustrating because a lot of white space is left that COULD be used (if the person who wrote the code for WordPress had a damned clue) for text.)
Yes. The current level of indentation was arrived at by testing. The alternatives were WORSE, over all. We picked the least evil for the most people.
I helped do that testing…but I was on a desktop. I might have urged differently were I on a mobile.
Definitely a progressive/leftist site here – haven’t found anything about any felonies on Ratcliffe’s part.
“If the deeply concerned intelligence officials don’t manage to kill his nomination and if the Senate approves Ratcliffe to run the nation’s 17 intelligence services, then the source of Ignatius’ story has reason to worry. A senior U.S. official might get treated like Julian Assange or Chelsea Manning. Some would see a witch hunt. Others would call it rough justice. That would be a victory for Trump, which is one reason why the Ratcliffe nomination will be resisted by the intelligence community.”

A Q proof:

(I don’t know if this will post correctly.)
Okay. That is a Gab post by NeonRevolt highlighting today’s article in The Hill about Dems using Rule 6(e) to obtain confidential grand jury materials, and that Q predicted it:
https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/455180-an-impeachment-inquiry-has-begun?amp
Q 3507, from 7/26, says in part:
Will members of the D party Congress attempt to amend Rule 6(e) in order to obtain grand jury material deemed ‘critically important’?
No?
Logical thinking, why?
Why paint a narrative that the one item you cannot possess is the one item you need in order to justify your argument?
People elected ‘knowingly’ spreading false-information [disinformation]?
Puppets follow orders.
Think for yourself.
Q
________________
It’s not clear to me whether the Dems are trying to use the rule or amend it (or just threaten to), but at any rate, Q mentioned it before it happened.
I think Q’s point on 7/26 was that:
— the Dims in Congress would keep demanding publicly that Barr release the 7 and a half lines of 6e redacted material they haven’t seen yet from the 440+ page Mueller report, on the theory that those are exactly the 7 and a half lines that magically prove “Muh Russia”,
— even though there is much more material in the report redacted for other reasons that they didn’t bother to go see, when Barr put the partially unredacted report in a SCIF for them,
— that they, being LAWMAKERS, would, nevertheless, NOT try to change the Grand Jury rule 6(e) LAW, earlier made by CONGRESS, that makes it a FELONY for Barr to give them the 7 and a half lines of 6e material they keep so loudly squawking about.
This is absolute BS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SD has a post up that offers some excellent insight…
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2019/08/02/deep-state-center-holds-john-ratcliffe-nomination-withdrawn/
Btw……WTF is Rosenstein doing interjecting himself in this issue?? This is a TELL.
Thank you, FG&C!
YW. I wish I had better news to share! ☹️
Wowwwww, just got thru that article.
To me, it makes perfect sense. The SSCI.
F’n scumbags!!
I ask again….what is Rosenstein doing interjecting himself in a matter that has NOTHING to do with him???
Spidey sense is pegged to the red line.
No reason whatsoever to have him speak up now.
And Brennan and Comey, loving all over Dan Coats — yuck.
And Warner pushing Sue, whatshername.
I would take my neighbor over her at this point.
It’s even worse than that. Lawfare Blog wants Sue Gordon, too.
You’re right about Rosenstein.
I wouldn’t say “I” am right about him, but I do think SD has Rosenstein’s number.
Hmmmmm
Purely for informational purposes, what do the worms at Lawfare Blog say?
https://www.lawfareblog.com/who-will-be-acting-director-national-intelligence-dni-aug-15
NOTE the distinction made between the acting AG (formerly Matt Whitaker prior to Barr and the DNI)…
….this is how these worms operate…
Quote:
“Taken literally, this would seem to override the discretion that the president otherwise would have enjoyed under the FVRA, compelling the conclusion instead that the current “principal deputy director” (Sue Gordon, a widely respected career official who has held this position since 2017) “shall” serve as the acting DNI for so long as necessary. (Matthew Whitaker presented a superficially similar situation when he was appointed as acting attorney general, but the Justice Department-specific statute in that case contains the word “may” rather than “shall.”)”
Clearly the worms want Sue Gordon.
Which also tells is, along with the hyperventilating from Brennan et al, that Dan Coates was/is a “black hat”.
I want to throw things. We need to break their back on this one.
‘Which also tells… that Dan Coates was/is a “black hat”.’
Yes, I think that is likely…
–unless Coats is, at best, a non-entity/grey hat, afraid to damage institutional reputation and/or rock the boat, who could be prevailed upon by the black hats not to go for a big, first-class Declas.
–or unless a sting is in progress, and Coats is an undercover white hat, with the confidence of the black hats, and we will find out more later.
Sorry to be so indecisive! Complicated business, folks!!

Lurking Lawyer here.
Will I do not disagree with the SSCI dynamic Sundance documents, I think the Ratcliffe ‘withdrawal’ before formal PDJT nomination is simpler to understand.
Dems criticisms of Ratcliffe were 2: qualifications and partisanship. Ratcliffe may have been able to overcome the latter, but IMO not the former.
DNI and ODNI were an outcome of the 911 Commission report on siloed Intelligence failures. It was legislated by the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism Prevention Act of 2004, now formally 50USC§403 et seq.
Paraphrasing in part, §403(a) says there shall be a cabinet level DNI, (a) (1) appointed by President and confirmed by Senate, and further, “Any individual nominated for appointment as DNI SHALL HAVE extensive national security experience”.
The problem is that Ratcliffe doesn’t meet the §403(a)(1) express requirement. US Attorney is not ‘extensive national security expedience’.
Intel Committee = national security experience
This is still BS
The WaPost hit piece is absurd.
Totally BIASED
Momma is MAD
Agree
Moreover, POTUS isn’t stupid. He would not nominate someone unqualified for the position.
I disagree with Rivstan on that point.
“Extensive” is the subjective word. Good God, I qualify and so do YOU.
I nominate FG&C for the slot!!!!!!!!
That would make me happy.
And we would ALL rest easy.

Holy cow! What a way to fish!!!
“The video showed the boat applying the “shocking” current, causing a fizzing sensation in the water as hundreds of carp jump out of the lake while the three fishermen on board scoop up some of the fish.
The agency launched the program to solve the problem of Asian carp overpopulation. The carp is an invasive species which catfish farmers introduced to the U.S. during the 1970s.
The fish are invasive because they breed at an extremely high rate— a mature female Asian carp produces 1 million eggs per year— and the overpopulation of these fish mean there is less food to go around for other fish in the sea.
The electrical current is not meant to kill the fish but intended to stun the fish long enough so they can be captured or counted.
“It’s just to give folks an idea of how many fish we’re dealing with below the dam. We collect and try to distribute to them to buyers,” Ron Brooks, the department’s fisheries division director, told CNN.
Once the fish are collected, counted, and measured, they are harvested to buyers who make products such as fertilizer, food products meant for humans, and fish bait.”
https://www.breitbart.com/environment/2019/08/01/watch-electric-current-stuns-asian-carpfish-driving-them-out-lake/
It seems to me a better way to scoop up more of those fish would be to have two boats about 20 feet or so apart each dragging one end of a wide net while they zap the water. They could probably net thousands of the fish in one pass that way.
Agree! Kind of stupid to go about it the way they did! LOL
And would’ve been illegal if it wasn’t an agency doing this.
What I’d like to know, is who’s counting? ……and how?
Not sure what’s happening here.
Guy sitting down is ducking fish as they jump into the boat. Net guy on the right side of screen seems like he might be scooping some fish and tossing them into the boat. Net guy on the left side is definitely not netting any fish to bring them into the boat..
Now maybe the three in the boat are waiting for the fish to grow still and float before they net, count or measure.
Orrrrrrrrr!
These guys only want to net the right side fish and not the left side fish at which point I grow concerned 🙂
Hmmm…..heard earlier on OANN that they were released from jail but cannot leave until Judge makes his decision around August 14 or 15. Perhaps I missed part of it…..?
Nope – I heard it wrong:
10:29 AM PT — A$AP Rocky was just released from jail while the judges in his Swedish assault case decide his fate. The announcement in court was met with cheer from onlookers. A$AP is free to leave Sweden while they await a verdict, which is expected August 14. The other 2 defendants are also released and free to leave. Prosecutors had asked that Rocky, who’s spent a month in jail, remain there because he was a flight risk, but the judges disagreed. Reading between the lines, the fact that the judges are letting him leave the country may be a sign he won’t be found guilty.
https://www.tmz.com/2019/08/02/asap-rocky-witnesses-not-strike-alleged-victim-bottle/
He better leave asap. The verdict is not in yet so RUN from Sweden!!!
Key witness recanted testimony.
Fair bet, the verdict will be not guilty.
President Trump wins, again.
I still don’t trust them but yes Trump wins again!!!! 😀
Pres. Trump secured the release of A$AP Rocky from Sweden. I wonder why he capitalized “Rocky Week.”
Always a chance he’s hidden meanings in the way he capitalizes.
Some offer decodes. I tend to just “enjoy the show.”
Right there with you!
twins!!!!!!!!
😀😀
Just making a play on words – dude’s name is Rocky hence Rocky week. Getting A$AP home ASAP – more play on works from the guy’s name.
Yes, but “Week” didn’t need to be capitalized. Could be nothing, though.
Because the third time is a charm….
Looks like #WINNING #WINNING #WINNING!
A lot of effort for a guy who talks shit about PTrump. Wrote a “song” about Trump that basically said in true retarded street bullshit slang that his niggas would shoot him.
PTrump is a lot more generous than I’d be
Kim Kardashian’s husband asked DJT for a personal favor. We all know how DJT is about “if you need anything, call me” goodbyes.
President Trump has a big heart and is playing the long game…re-election.
President just said he “Like Sue Gordon” and “She’s there now – I like her”
Press likes Sue Gordon
I think I’m gonna throw up.
Is the President playing the SSCI? I pray that he is – I’m sick of this.
Feel like Linda Blair in the Exorcist – head spinning around, ready to puke green stuff.

I’ve always wondered first about the controls in these donation (accountability), and second, if the grocery stores get a tax deduction as though they are the donors. I’m sure with the hundreds of shoppers giving even a dollar, the amount is quite substantial.
Thats the thing. YOU give to the store, THEY get the tax write off. UNLESS the store gives you a separate donation receipt. Thats why they sometimes give you coupons or free food etc. I think its more beneficial to get the donation write off.
I absolutely do not donate to anyone through a 2nd or 3rd party.
Any time a store clerk asks me at the checkout line if I’d like to contribute a dollar to the “poor, needy children”, I decline and then add, “I hate children”. They usually don’t know whether they should laugh or give me a dirty look. I get both.
Human psychology can be fun.
Andy, you are a Devil! 👹😉
His favorite actor was W. C. Fields, who was asked how he liked children, to which he replied “slow roasted over an open fire.”
He was actually fond of children (in a good way).
I usually tell them that I already pay more than my fair share in taxes and they can bring it up with the gov’t if they don’t receive their entitled cut.
SIckening and unbelievable! Someone is trying to stop it. Here is one of the comments:
“This is a true medical experiment on children causing irreversible harm. Thank you for writing about this critically important, but underreported issue. The Kelsey Coalition is a new non-partisan organization whose sole mission is to promote policies and laws that protect young people from medical and psychological harms. We have written to the Office for Human Research Protections on April 5 for an immediate moratorium on this unethical study pending an investigation. They have yet to respond. https://www.kelseycoalition.org/Projects/Investiga…
“We have also alerted the US Surgeon General to this matter and are urging him to issue a Call to Action. Please consider signing our petition here: https://www.ipetitions.com/petition/urgent-request…”
“Imagine giving eight-year-old girls testosterone. They are in third or fourth grade. This is unbelievable. But this is going on.”
How is this not child abuse? IMO, these “researchers” should be prosecuted and sent to prison for crimes against humanity.
They deserve something else but I’ll refrain from posting details.

Yeah, I’ve learned to never count on deadlines and predictions. I’m starting to be skeptical now about August DECLAS too, with the changes at ODNI. More “wait and see.” They are going to have to act before too long because of the timeline of the upcoming election.
“They are going to have to act before too long because of the timeline of the upcoming election.”

Not a CHANCE!
Don’t you see, the upcoming election is the perfect excuse to not do anything until AFTER the election.
For every good reason to DO it, there are a hundred reasons NOT to do it.
So “don’t do it” always, always ALWAYS wins.
It’s always easier to do nothing, than it is to do something.
And it’s infinitely easier to do nothing than it is to smash a hornet’s nest.
That’s why hornet’s nests grow so large.
Personally, I like to stand off from the nest at about 20 feet, and then hit it with a flame Thrower. A big, beautiful arc of flaming gasoline, that you can ‘walk in’ to your target, like a Rainbow of Flaming Death converging on a pot of corruption 😁
Not just good for hornet’s nests and Deep State cockroaches, but great for parties too 👍

C) licenses will be used to hold drone operators accountable to all the fine print in the license application, to include legal fees, court costs, fines, and if there is anything left over, once all the leeches are paid, a pittance for the victim’s family

Nice human interest story, but written up as a gun-grabber motivator, IMO.
Definitely.
Definitely suspicious. And don’t forget that some of the victims in that mass shooting in southern Cal at a bar (can’t remember the name) were also survivors of Las Vegas.
I know. Something is not right.
I’m glad you posted this grandmaintexas…
What are the odds, indeed. I have a collection of videos I’ve been filing away with this coincidence happening way more than can be considered normal. Survivors of Florida mass shooting surviving another Florida mass shooting…Survivors of Las Vegas surviving Thousand Oaks California mass shooting…the Parkland kids traveling to New Zealand before that mass shooting…and several more.
The reason I started filing these videos away is because it seems to happen all of the time…and many of the videos and stories I came across I didn’t bother to save at first and are lost to me. I don’t really know what to make of it. Attention seekers? Who knows?
The odds have to be astronomical, especially with it happening so often. Wish I knew someone who could calculate this in a professional way.
Do you believe in coincidences?

They were supposed to die. When they didn’t, it created an anomaly, and Death had to come for each of them one by one, in order to ‘make things right’ with the ‘universe’… or something. I think I saw it once, a long time ago, but I remember the promotional ‘movie trailers’ for it.
Synopsis: “After one member of a high school class bound for Paris experiences a terrifying vision, he and a handful of passengers disembark the ill-fated flight, just before it takes off and explodes. Then the survivors begin to die, one by one, in mysterious and increasingly bizarre “accidents.” ”

“What are the odds?”
_______________
Zero.
Unless someone was trying to kill off witnesses to the Las Vegas shooting, and needed a convenient cover.
You all remember the Las Vegas shooting, don’t you?
The largest shooting in American HISTORY if I understand correctly, whose “investigation” never even CONCLUDED, and for which NO ONE has ever been prosecuted.
We didn’t even get a fake ‘Warren Commission’ Congressional soap opera out of the deal.
It was just flushed down the memory hole — nothing to see here, folks!
Pay not attention to the largest mass-shooting in American history.
Your eyes are getting very heavy… you feel relaxed and at ease… these are not the droids you’re looking for… go back to sleep…
When I dwell on the current situation it gives me nightmares.
100% don’t dwell on the shootings. Deep state, socialists, anti 2A want the attention. Piss on them, each and every one.
Yes, the shootings are tragic.
The guns did nothing wrong.
Shooter did the killing. Some shooters incited by bad actors. Some shooters are simply nuts.
Me thinks, the shootings are a society issue.
Trump is very onto this being a society issue, ultimately. Cultural Marxism has removed the mental safety nets that meant even the most bullied kid “back in the day” would never think of either shooting their tormentor or killing themselves.
SNOWFLAKE AMERICA did this.
100 percent with ya. It’s the level of pure evil from the DS that bothers me.
AOC staff quitting. This has to be the agreement with Pelosi. Betcha shes taken a better cash payout with tia Nancy than the hard core leftists. Lets see who goes into those spots. This is all to shape her for re-election.
“Two top members of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s team are leaving the lawmaker’s office.
Saikat Chakrabarti, 33, her Chief of Staff left on Friday, and Corbin Trent, Director of Communications, is due for a move too.
Chakrabarti will work for a nonprofit focused on raising awareness of climate change and trying to further the Green New Deal.
Meanwhile Trent has agreed to work throughout August before transitioning across to her 2020 reelection campaign, according to the Intercept.
This is the same role he held during her first congressional run in 2018.”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7316195/Alexandria-Ocasio-Cortezs-Chief-Staff-Director-Communications-leave-office.html
Hate to be negative but I’m sure the justice dems have more communist handlers waiting in the wings to advise and write AOC’s opinions.
Either tia nancy is putting her people in to control aoc and support reelection and thats why they are out or its just new hard lefties were needed as window dressing.
All for optics? Maybe Chupabara and Trent have other up and coming candidates that need attention or there’s been some massive infusion of $$$ for yet another org to propagandize climate change. After all Google Camp will need platforms for their attendees to mold the minds of the little people.
Google didn’t spend millions of dollars for a luxurious vacation for these movers and shakers to simply go back home and get facials and pedicures.
I think Chumpbarkslikeadog stepped a little too far over the line when he challenged the Speaker. He has been exiled until he serves his penance.
I hope to the planet tantooine …. bwahahahahahah … seriously .. 🤨
… or she made her an offer she couldn’t refuse …. bwahahahahahah …. have a cookie 😠👍
This story was confirmed in The Hill. Also seems to confirm to be a result of the “cordial meeting” between AOC and Pelosi.

I’m waiting on the bff’s Ilhan and Nancy …wonder what their pact will entail?
It’s all smoke and mirrors.
PLT (AOC) is still the puppet of her masters.

This x 1000!
These people aren’t going away.

For those who are excited about this, she will be running for re-election in 2020, and at least one of these people will be working on her campaign:

“She added that he is ‘shifting to our campaign side so we can work on some ambitious comms projects we’ve been looking forward to working on.'”
Anyone else notice that most of the photos of the taxpayer-funded, fun trip by Pelosi and lemmings shows Omar literally holding hands (kid you not!) or not more than 12” away from Nancy. Think Omar isn’t establishing a visual of her “closeness” to the Occupier of the Speaker Chair? (As in….don’t you come after me…i’m Tight with Nancy!) Jim Clyburn is so jealous!
Very noticeable.

August 15, 2019 Patriot Call In Supreme Court Demand Proof of Life For Ruth Bader Ginsburg
https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=70&v=DawDbMp6cDs
dnajlion7
Published on Aug 2, 2019
On Thursday, August 15th, thousands of Patriots will call the Supreme Court Switchboard to demand Proof of Life for Ruth Bader Ginsburg. It is time to hold the Supreme Court accountable. Telephone: 202-479-3000 anytime between 9am and 5pm Eastern on Thurs, August 15, 2019.
I can’t express how much I wish they wouldn’t do this. It makes our side look dumb and crazy, which is not a position of strength. It opens us up to (more) ridicule — only this time it would be deserved.
In doing this they are calling into question the integrity and lawfulness (and therefore qualifications) of every justice on SCOTUS, including the conservative ones. It implies that all the justices are involved in a coverup,
And no, RBG does not have a body double who has EVERYONE fooled. If anyone has an account of a time they were fooled by a body double for months, up close and personal, in the workplace or other close quarters, I’d like to hear about it.
I do not think they are calling into the question the integrity of ALL of the Justices – just one – there is something fishy going on – and the reason they are doing this is to prevent PT from installing another Conservative on the Court – I do not believe she is alive – and all of those ‘planned’ appearances do not convince me she is – they all have body doubles – it was alleged ‘that other guy’ had (3) – no doubt in my mind – he is as dumb as rocks – so someone had to do the speaking for him…everyone has secrets – look what Roberts did – correctly made a call and then – suddenly reversed it – was he threatened or some member of his family?
There is too much nonsense and lying going on in the gubmint – NOT to make me suspicious…up close and personal means nothing when you are told to keep your mouth shut or else – imho
“I do not think they are calling into question the integrity of ALL of the Justices – just one ”
Having a body double involves all of the justices. They either have all been fooled, or they are complicit.
“they all have body doubles – it was alleged ‘that other guy’ had (3) ”
I would love to see a link proving “they all have body doubles.” I’ve seen lots of innuendo and photoshopping, but that’s all.
“up close and personal means nothing when you are told to keep your mouth shut or else”
If RBG has a body double, then the people she works with are either being duped or are complicit by “keeping their mouth shut.” Do you really think the other eight justices would risk their careers for such a scheme (which amounts to sedition, in my opinion)? It’s not credible. The scheme could be brought to light and stopped.
Body doubles have been used at times in history, but never in extended interactions, up close and personal, with people familiar with the person, that I know of. It’s too difficult to pull off.
This short video explains what a day on SCOTUS is like. https://www.cnbc.com/2018/07/18/supreme-court-scotus-politics-donald-trump-brett-kavanaugh.html
I appreciate your diligence in presenting your opinion – however – the Deep State – or whatever you want to call it – is devious – they are the ungodly – the integrity of the court was compromised when Roberts reversed his decision on O-care – the integrity of the House was compromised when the Speaker said – ‘you have to vote on the bill to see what is in it’ – the integrity of the court was compromised when they approved a justice who had previous experience with ‘that other guy’ – the integrity of the court was compromised when they voted in a justice because of her ethnic background – and yet her past actions proved bias – I do not share the same respect for those who serve on the court as you do – as far as RSB is concerned – I believe there is a concerted effort to prevent PT from appointing another conservative justice to the court – I also believe she is dead – and although I have no proof of a ‘double’ – they have used them in the past in other authoritative positions – anybody who has worked with her could write her decisions – it is all too easy to fool the public –
The Deep State is deep and wide and devious – I have faith in God – not the Supreme Court.
See the short novel _Double Star_ by Robert Heinlein. It’s “science fiction” like most of Heinlein’s other work, but really political fiction, with a look at the life of a serious professional stage actor.
Thanks for the tip, Cova!
100% agree TT.
It is too much. Calling the switchboard will do nothing to confirm or deny. She herself has been in public lately and ruled from the bench supposedly. If there is some body double deal going on..the body double will make another appearance..what then ? We demand DNA? …
“She herself has been in public lately and ruled from the bench supposedly.”
According to the video at the link I posted above, the justices work with up to four clerks each. The clerks dgo over cases with them. The justices eat lunch together, and they consult on cases. There is no way the other eight, and all her clerks, have been fooled.
Besides all the exact same physical characteristics (including vocal pitch, timbre, and speech patterns), a body double for RBG would have to have her exact knowledge of and experience in the law. What are the odds of someone who looks and sounds exactly like RBG, with her exact pattern of aging, having her extensive knowledge of the law and knowing her experiences so well that she could fool everyone who knows RBG? Those chances are zero and, in my opinion, we look very silly when we keep insisting this is possible without thinking logically and without looking at how SCOTUS actually works.
“I can’t express how much I wish they wouldn’t do this. It makes our side look dumb and crazy, which is not a position of strength. It opens us up to (more) ridicule — only this time it would be deserved.”
_________________
Considering the literally INFINITE levels and depths of deception the Left has engaged in (and continues to this very second), and considering that RBG sees herself as Leftist royalty who would literally die (or not die) for the cause, how is asking for proof that she is in fact ALIVE make “us” look dumb or crazy?
And the enemy couldn’t hate us any more than they already do, so who cares what the enemy thinks about us anyway?
“how is asking for proof that she is in fact ALIVE make “us” look dumb or crazy?”
Because she is doing her SCOTUS work and those who claim she isn’t refuse to follow through logically on exactly how a body double would work in her case. How many people would have to be in on it, and who, exactly? It would involve every SCOTUS justice because they work with her. So those brilliant people at the top of their profession are either some of the most dupable people on the planet, or they are complicit.
It would involve whatever clerks and aides RBG has, and maybe those of the other justices, too.
It would involve others like chauffeurs, personal assistants, doormen, etc.
It would involve every member of RBG’s family. Apparently everyone thinks they are all evil Leftists who would go along with such a scheme.
I don’t care what the enemy thinks of us, but I’m embarrassed for those who think it’s so easy to pretend to be another human being in close quarters with people who know you. The only time I’m known of it to happen successfully is with identical twins, and even that fails after a while.
“How many people would have to be in on it, and who, exactly?”
______________
How many people would have to be in on an attempted coup to overthrow the duly elected president of the United States?
How many institutions and branches of government would have to be corrupted in order for that to happen?
Which would be harder to do, and require the most people involved?
A) an attempted coup to overthrow the president of the United States of America
or
B) hide the death of a Supreme Court Justice, with the aid of a completely complicit media?
If ‘A’ is possible, then the possibility of ‘B’ goes without saying.
And ‘A’ is going on right now…
“How many people would have to be in on an attempted coup to overthrow the duly elected president of the United States?”
Many, as we are seeing. And it’s not the same as one well-known individual being replaced by an imposter and fooling everyone RBG knows, including all the SCOTUS justices. The two situations are not comparable.
“I don’t care what the enemy thinks of us, but I’m embarrassed for those who think it’s so easy to pretend to be another human being in close quarters with people who know you.”
________________
I’m not suggesting that is the case, I have no idea what is actually going on, and neither does anyone else — and THAT is the problem.
Which of the (not)Supreme Court Justices is beyond temptation or compromise?
Or if not compromised, which could not be persuaded to ‘hide’ RBG’s death for “a little while”, for the interests of the ‘institution they ‘cherish’ so much?
The Left would go along with such a scheme unflinchingly because it serves their cause to delay replacement with a conservative DJT pick, and the so-called ‘conservative’ judges might go along with it for any number of self-serving reasons wrapped up in denial and false altruism.
I have NO IDEA what’s going on.
Neither does anyone else.
That is NOT how our Republic is designed or meant to function!
So how about Ruthie drags her sorry Communist backside out in front of the cameras, to alleviate a legitimate public interest to know about her current health?
Is that so wrong-guh?
“I have no idea what is actually going on, and neither does anyone else — and THAT is the problem.”
I find this puzzling. We know that RBG was ill, took time to recover, and is back at work at SCOTUS. The reason we know that is that there are at least four justiceas who would not stand for the kind of sedition people are alleging.
“The reason we know that is that there are at least four justiceas who would not stand for the kind of sedition people are alleging.”
________________
How do we know THAT?!?
Most people trusted Scalia, before he was found murdered at some kind of exclusive and isolated pedo-camp weekend getaway, where his body was immediately cremated without autopsy, because… that’s just normal… when a national figure suddenly dies under cartoonishly mysterious circumstances…
Roberts is so off the rails that he might as well come out openly as a double-agent.
Which of the remaining four is a citizen above suspicion?
https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Investigation-of-a-Citizen-Above-Suspicion-Blu-ray/68989/
Do you think:
— It is possible for RBG to have a body double who looks and sounds exactly like her?
— That that body double can portray her decades of experience and knowledge as well as be able to credibly relate to her clerks and the other eight justices to the point that they suspect nothing?
— Or that all the clerks and justices are so corrupt that they would allow an imposter to take RBG’s place, jeopardizing their own careers and freedom, as well as the very country?
— That RBG’s entire family, knowing she is dead, is complicit in a plot to keep her on SCOTUS, forgoing the honorable funeral she would have had and being prepared to participate in a sham funeral when the imposter “dies”?
“Do you think:
— It is possible for RBG to have a body double who looks and sounds exactly like her?”
_________________
Sure, it’s possible, with 7+ billion people on the planet, we all probably have at least several people who look enough like us that with a little effort, could do so convincingly.
But I’m not arguing that there is any ‘body double’ involved here.
I don’t know if she is dead or alive.
The only photos I am aware of appear to be from walking through an airport several years ago, and the only recent audio I am aware of was during (supposedly) a (not)Supreme Court case, but someone showed that the audio had been edited, because one of the lawyers asked the exact same question, in the exact same voice, with the exact same tonal inflections, TWICE. Not two separate occurrences, but the SAME audio, spliced back in and repeated.
And considering the level of institutional and professional DECEPTION we are dealing with, I don’t know how anybody could trust ANYONE in our government.
If there is anyone who is LESS trustworthy than employees of our government — who would that be, exactly?
And I do mean ANYONE.
.
“— That that body double can portray her decades of experience and knowledge as well as be able to credibly relate to her clerks and the other eight justices to the point that they suspect nothing?”

Yes, it’s hard to believe you doubt the possibility — that would be child’s play for the level of institutional psychopathy we’re dealing with here. LOOK at the breadth and depth of the conspiracy against the president of the United States.
Just LOOK at it. Think about it. It’s breathtaking.
Whatever would be required to hide the death of RBG, it is MINUSCULE by comparison.
.
“— That RBG’s entire family, knowing she is dead, is complicit in a plot to keep her on SCOTUS, forgoing the honorable funeral she would have had and being prepared to participate in a sham funeral when the imposter “dies”?”
________________
Where was Scalia’s family, when he was found murdered at Pedo’s Runaway Ranch? Where was their DEMAND for an ‘investigation’, or at the very least an autopsy?
Do you really think they can’t get to the family members?
This is exactly how the government became so corrupt that a conspiracy of the size required to attempt a coup against the president could even take place.
It’s because most people CANNOT believe it, that it could ever happen.
The bad guys KNOW that, they know that the truth of what they do is so incredibly brazen and audacious and outrageous that most people would never believe it — and they absolutely use that ‘psychology to their advantage.
Trust no one.
Trust members of our government, even less.
A LOT less.
Including and especially clerks and other lower level functionaries.
If the top people can be wholly compromised or corrupted, how much easier must it be to compromise their lackeys?
See today’s thread. I have a theory.
Which 4 justices are these?
I hope you’re not putting Roberts’ name on that roster??
Btw, how is his cleanup of the FISA court going?
From this thread:
“Or that all the clerks and justices are so corrupt that they would allow an imposter to take RBG’s place, jeopardizing their own careers and freedom, as well as the very country?”
Let’s think about this question for a moment, from a different point of view. This point of view is inspired by Scott’s analogy to the Soft Coup, from his posts elsewhere in this thread.
Has James Comey’s freedom been jeopardized yet? How about Herr Müller’s, AKA Sideshow Bob’s? al-Brennan’s? Clapper’s? McCabe’s? Bruce Ohr’s? His lovely wife, Nelson’s? Peter Strozk’s? His girlfriend, Mrs. Paige’s? Barry Soebarkah’s? Eric Holder’s? Loretta Lynch’s? Sally Yates’? Susan Powers’? Joe Biden’s? (The last time I heard about Joe Biden, he was being confidently touted as a front runner for the Democrat Party’s nomination to be the next president of the United States.)
Has Christopher Steele’s freedom been called into question yet, by anyone at all, even by anyone who contributes to this board? Oleg Deripaska’s? Tashina Gauhar’s? Rybicki’s? Sen. ChiSpy’s? The freedom of any member of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence? Any at all?
If justices on the Supreme Court of the United States are involved somehow, or keeping their silence for some reason, in a conspiracy to conceal the death of one of their number, would President Trump or Attorney General Barr be in a political position now to seek to bring about the arrest of one or more of them?
I submit that among the awesome powers entrusted to President Trump and to the law enforcement officers under him, the practical ability to threaten the freedom of multiple SCOTUS justices is one of the few that is not among them, given the realities of the moment.
Bingo! Left, D-Rats, MCM, talking heads despise every one of us.
Personally don’t care what they think of me.
Sticker on my truck states, “I am 100% Deplorable”.
I am good with proof of life and all her marbles are functioning in a logical coherent way.
100% the Left / D-Rats will deceive and cheat every opportunity the bastards get. Don’t believe, explain a rationale for the lefty / D-Rat behavior over the past three years towards President Trump, America, Americans…you and I.
I think we may be looking at the future Mayor of New York City.
NYC Police Benevolent Association President Patrick J. Lynch and Attorney Stuart London hold a press conference to discuss NYPD Trial Commissioner’s decision in the disciplinary trial of Officer Daniel Pantaleo.
Easy solution to this situation.
The officers of the police department in NYC should issue a brief statement:
……………………………………….
To Our Fellow Citizens of New York:
On or before Friday, August 16, one of two things will happen:
1) Mayor DeBlasio will resign
or
2) every officer in the NYC police department goes on strike, and you call the Mayor’s Office when you have a problem, instead of calling 911.
Thank you very much,
The Police Officers of New York City
……………………………………….
Then sit back and watch the fireworks. 👍
I would absolutely do it. If I was a NYC cop, whether we had a ‘union’ or not, I would organize it, I would write the statement, and I would publish it.
If I had aspirations for public office, I would publish it with my name on it.
If I wanted to create an even greater panic among the political-class, I would publish it anonymously, and think up a ‘scary’ name to attribute it to, like serial killers do in the movies.
Ratchet the public fear up another notch with each passing day, until the Mayor’s office explodes.
I guarantee the millions of people of NYC will hunt DeBlasio down themselves, before they allow the police to go on strike on August 16th.
In the words of Justin Wilson, “I guaaaa-ron-teeeee!”.

Because I think optimistically… Nice thread from Jeff Carlson. Keeping sane. I chose a tweet from the thread: click on date stamp for the rest. No threadreader available yet.
I can’t help but think that most if not all of the major cities that have been DemonCrap dynasties for decades will be riddled with corruption, and probably well disguised with lack of or non-compliance with accounting procedures.
Thank you for posting this. It’s a good thing Pres. Trump wins so much; otherwise, a segment of his base would collapse. And thank goodness we have Q to encourage us.
“8) Meanwhile, Trump has started highlighting corruption in Baltimore.”
__________________
Highlighting corruption (again) (and again) (and again) is lovely…
But nothing really says I LOVE YOU like making ARRESTS.
And that’s the ONE thing they absolutely REFUSE to ever do.
[cue the audio loop]
**SOON!**
LOL!
“Sue will be considered for the ACTING.(DNI)” Notice how the President says we will be making another choice. Very careful word choice.
I am not worried about this. I love FG&C’s suggestion—Admiral Rogers for DNI! I would pay just to see the reactions!
@8min25sec Listen to what the President says…I do have a short list of 2 or 3 people who would be confirmed easily because they have been in this business. I like Sue for ACTING! (Paraphrased)
Please make tons of splodey heads with Admiral Rogers!
JW, I worry about what I can do something about, and these things, in POTUS’ hands, are not something I can do anything about. 🙂 I don’t think we need to get too much in the weeds on this – if something is wrong with his choice, it will come out. Good pickup on “another choice.” Leaves them guessing.
There you are!!!!! 😁
Please see my post below.
When are we going to get to see the pics of you and Sis dancing on the tabletops at the post rally party?
LOL Carl!!!!! That Day was so long!!! We had a beer with her friends and neither one of us could finish…we were DEAD!
GREAT take away stated by Steve Bannon…something to the effect of…
Democrat Presidential candidates are like a summer replacement show, that doesn’t get pick up in the fall.
Love it!! I kinda have a wierd Mind crush on Sloppy Steve TBH!!!
I did notice Sloppy Steve cleaned up a bit for the interview.
Conservative Reporter and Activist Laura Loomer Announces Run for US Congress

If islam wasn’t a religion of hate, oppression, murder, atrocities and crimes against humanity, muzzies wouldn’t be a problem.
So there’s no need to be anti-muzzie.
Just be anti-islam.
Who is FOR hate, oppression, murder, atrocities and crimes against humanity?
You can’t be against those things and be pro-islam.
So any time someone accuses you of being anti-muzzie, just say it’s not the muzzies that are the problem, it’s the teachings and example of the mass-murderer they follow.
Ask them “Are you FOR terrorism? Are you FOR mass-murder? Are you FOR rape, incest, pedophilia, slavery and other crimes against humanity?
No?
Then you can’t be pro-islam, can you?
Now go ask the muzzies those same questions!
Islam is not a religion. It is a socio-political movement masquerading as a religion.
I’m going to save that …. it’s great logic …. a winner indeed … 😉👍‼️❤️

(chimes) PAGING MARICA……MARICA…….
Waiting for your post re: the Trump rally. How was it??? Details, please.
We were all excited you were there and folks were posting your tweets!!!!
Working on it…I am very far behind IRL as we are leaving early tomorrow morning for Florida for a week…
For my sister’s take and my quick 10 point takeaway….go to the bottom of Daughn’s Rally thread!!!
It was another AMAZING experience!!!! DO IT! If you haven’t been..or even if you have!! my 4th PLUS the Inauguration–I Will honestly go any chance I get!!! Better than any Rock Concert!! Ever!!!
PS–For anyone still UP!!! Please send prayers for Sylvia!! Blood Pressure is dangerously high and she doesn’t want to go to the ER!!! Thanks Everyone!!!!
Lord HELP! Stabilize Sylvia’s BP and bring her peace. Amen.
AMEN!!!
🙏
I just sent an email to her.
/////////////////////////////////////
Sylvia,
Marica says your BP is way up. She says you refuse to go to the ER.
As a friend, I say,
GET YER ASS TO THE ER!!! NOW!!!
You are of no use to anyone if you’re in a home after a stroke. Don’t make me use your shovel on you.
pgroup (Lawrence Hutt)
I didn’t say she refused… I said she doesn’t WANT to go …SO Pray that it gets better!!! Please!
What? You’re sounding like some nitpicking word nazi. If she doesn’t WANT to go but she DID go, why not just say that? If she doesn’t WANT to go and she DIDN’T go, isn’t that what I said in my email?
Next time, just ask for prayers if that’s what you want from the Qtreepers. Love you dearly but darn you can be a bit trying at times.
LOL– So can you my friend!!! We all keep trying!!! 🤣🤣🤣
WP is smelling up the place. Again.
What happened this time? Also wondering if you want your name on there.
It just refuses to show my posts after I click ‘post comment’. About 1 out of 3 comments doesn’t show unless I go through gyrations and a couple of refreshes. Plus it takes me to the top of the page so it’s scroll like mad to get back to where I was. Annoying as heck.
As far as my name, at my age – in this safe place –
Frankly my dear I don’t give a damn. 🙂
No problem, then! 😀
Yes prayerss now.
OMG!!! Check out this Meme!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for sharing your fabulous Rally pics with us!
I’m so glad you got to go.
While watching the Rally…I kept thinking, ‘Wow, our Marica is there somewhere’.
It’s almost like being there too!
Aw Wheatie!!! YOU GUYS WERE WITH ME!!! I looked at the whole experience from the eyes of being part of the Q tree! Louis is a total stranger..just part of my twitter family ! They all make me laugh hysterically!!
We need to turn these into a big internet meme – “Q Lady” – the next Pepe! 😉
The original is here. Come on, QTreepers! Meme away! 😉
