Dear KMAG:20191019 Open Topic

Welcome! The doors are open, come on inside!

This Comfy Q Tree Saturday 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/KMAG/KAG world (with KMAG being a bit of both).

Come on up and find a comfy spot.

Free Speech is practiced here at the Q Tree. But please keep it civil.
Discussion of Q is not only allowed but encouraged. Imagine that! We can talk about Q here and not get banned.

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 that Wolf has created for us.

Remember…your greatest gift to President Trump is FIVE WORDS:

I AM PRAYING FOR YOU.

Visual Descriptions for our dear Zoe, and for anyone else who may find them helpful:
Header Image: Is a view of a gigantic Tree that dwarfs everything around it. Even though it is in the distance, it still looks huge. There are outcroppings of it’s bark that form ledges and there appear to be tiny figures on one of the ledges, headed for an opening in the massive trunk. A few gnarled outgrowths that may be roots are growing out of the trunk, with a large one growing down into the ground, perhaps serving as a support.
There is a stream running beside the Tree and in the far distance is a lake. Beyond that, are mountains with light coming up from behind them, casting a golden glow on everything. The sky is kind of hazy with a few windblown loosely formed clouds overhead.
Second Image: A stone pathway leads up to tall double doors, built into the side of an enormous tree trunk. The doors are arched and covered in ornate carvings. There are a few small points of light in the doors, giving off a slight blue glow. Rays of sunlight illuminate the path in front of the doors.
Third Image: Is an open-sided room with a view of treetops. There is a warm glow coming from a wood-burning stove and a comfy looking couch. Nearby is a rustic table and chair,  a bed covered in fluffy fur throws and a hot tub in the corner overlooking the mountain vistas.* A large tree trunk and branches support the rustic ceiling…and tree branches form the railing along the side deck. (*H/t to Teagan.)
Fourth Image: President Trump has his back to us and is facing a gaggle of press curs across the lawn. He is holding up his right hand at shoulder level and making a fist…perhaps a signal that he is going in.

Prayer & Pledge
The first day in grade school, and for eight years,
We said The Lord’s Prayer to start every day.
Then, all of us, hands over our hearts,
Pledged allegiance to our flag, always on display.
I knew all the words, and I understood,
But not for years did the meaning come through.
For I was still young, not long in this world,
And the meaning matured, even as I grew.
Our flag’s not just cloth, waving on a pole,
It stands for our country, for being free:
Our republic, one nation under God,
And for truth, and justice, and liberty.
There’s much more meaning behind our flag
As it waves in the sun for all to see.
It reminds us of our Armed Forces,
Standing in the gap, so we can be free.
It reminds us of the men and women,
Sheriff, police and Border Patrol,
Who risk their lives for our protection.
To Serve and Protect, that’s their common goal.
Now one last level of meaning comes clear,
Our basic rights that can’t be taken away,
That make our land great, are given by God,
Who, by the Lord’s Prayer, is to whom we pray.
Our prayer every morning, simple and clear,
Is to God, our Holy Father above,
To provide what we need, forgive our sins,
Keep us from evil, hold us in His love.
It’s God who protects us in this land,
Gives us our leaders, and His joy and peace.
We pray to him now with thanksgiving and praise,
That His love and ours will never cease.

Wheatie…you forgot to mention (although you have to look closely for it) the wonderful hot tub in the corner overlooking the mountain vistas. I would be very hard-pressed to choice between snuggling under the fur covers of the bed, reading in front of the fireplace or enjoying a glass of wine in the hot tub! Guess I’d have to do all three!
Big storm in our area today so the tree house looks very inviting….thanks for the day dreams.

michaelh

Thank you Wheatie!
I am so grateful for this place, a true refuge.
There are many other boards, groups, lists, newsgroups, circles, etc etc that I’ve been on for years. It is extraordinarily rare to find the quality of discourse and conversation we’ve seen here.
Rarer still to be able to have the open, thoughtful discussion around contemporary politics without being incredibly divisive.
I am reminded when I go to visit other blogs and their comment sections, or other groups, or the discus sections of sites, or so many more how quickly the conversation can become impossibly toxic, either by unmediated trolls or conversely by too powerful voices that drown out discussion or difference of opinion.
Some bloggers say things I disagree with and have either a toxic tone or they are clearly writing from a position of emotion trying to find logical ways to justify their views. I love them but sometimes they are just plain wrong.
Here even when there is a post about something I don’t agree with, it’s still written in a way that’s engages and forces one to really think through the implications all the way to the inconvenient end. Even when the topic is extraordinarily controversial. It’s quite astounding, really.
There is an unusual kind of unity in this tree that goes beyond some of the perfectly normal spats that encourages everyone to contribute their voice. Even in dissent or because of it we grow stronger and more thoughtful.
Thank you everyone for your time and the effort you put in your contributions. Enjoy another great weekend – find rest.
WWG1WGA!

I fully agree with all the Michael said. And it is a comfort to me that even when one or another of us must duck out for a while, there is always a light on for the rest of us.

So, about 10 minutes ago, I stumbled over a post at ZeroHedge that had me very amused.
There’s 106 miles to Chicago, we’ve got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it’s dark out, and we’re wearing sunglasses.
Well, no, not that one…….but as far as I’m concerned, it’s almost always appropriate, so I’ll leave it in.
https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/why-elitist-establishment-so-obsessed-meat
It posits that plant-eaters tend to become placid and controllable, and slower-thinking, so global elites are pushing plant-based diets for the proles (while eating Wagyu themselves) in order to maintain a more tractable populace. *shrug* Might be.
But it got me thinking about another issue. At times (not lately, but hopefully soon), I have been an avid aquarist. As such, I’ve had the ability to directly observe that life supports life. When you initially set up an aquarium, it is incapable of supporting very many fish. When you put the first fish in, you have to feed it (because there’s nothing in the tank to eat), and you have to change the water frequently, because otherwise the waste products from your fish will build-up and poison it.
After some time, bacteria that consume the fish’s waste will get established in the tank, and you won’t have to change the water as frequently. In addition, the nutrients provided by the fish’s waste and the bacteria’s waste will encourage algae to grow on the decor…..which the fish can eat, so you don’t have to feed it as much.
You can then add more fish, which will generate more algae and more bacteria…..and, yet, they’ll all be happier than when there was one fish alone. In a pond, there might be floating plants and rooted plants, midwater algae, and substrate-covering algae — each of which desires to be the only flora in the pond……but if there are fish that prefer to eat each type, a population bloom in each plant will be followed by a population boom in the fish that eats it.
As each level of complexity is added, the carrying capacity of the environment is expanded. A single type of fish with a single type of plant might sustain 100,000 pounds of life in a given pond. Four types of plants with four types of fish might sustain 200,000 pounds of life in the same pond — and be far less likely to become stagnant.
Adding predators increases the efficiency of the feedback. If floating plants go out of control and cause a boom in floating-plant-eaters, predators will first take out the weakest of the otherwise-starving other plant eaters….but then turn on the floating-plant-eaters because they’re easier to find, more plentiful, and more likely to be complacent. Four types of plants with four types of fish plus predators might sustain 250,000 pounds of life in the same pond — and, yes, be more robust.
And here’s the thing……if these activists actually believed in carbon sequestration (which they clearly don’t)…..wouldn’t they want more ponds to support 250,000 pounds of life (with carbon in it), than 100,000 pounds of life? The world needs plants, the world needs herbivores, the world needs carnivores, and the world needs omnivores. Trying to manipulate dietary consumption through political means will inevitably shrink the carrying capacity of the planet.

“Meat is brain food.
That’s why they don’t want us eating it.”
I had a eureka moment when I read those words. All those times when people said I was full of baloney, I thought they were insulting me. Not so, at the very least it was a back-handed compliment. My victimnometer just took a big hit. Thanks for the enlightenment. How much do I owe you?

I recently got a copy of “What Would Jesus Really Eat?” via the Cornwall Alliance. It has some good insights.
I don’t know if that would be useful to you – but still worth sharing to get some visability.

Roy Graber combines his Midwestern farming background with his knowledge of economics and agriculture policy to offer a deeper look at the poultry and pig industries.

August 12, 2019 | Roy Graber

. . . [I]nitially, I didn’t see the need to order a copy of the book. I knew that the Bible had numerous passages about eating meat, and that Jesus himself ate and fed other people meat, so it seemed to be, in a sense, preaching to the choir. Plus, I thought since I’d heard two sessions on the topic, what would I really learn?
But I did obtain a copy, and I’m glad I did. Yes, I learned a few more in-depth examples that prove the point that eating meat is consistent with Christian beliefs. But something else happened.
Because I hadn’t had an overabundance of spare time since getting a copy of the book, it took a few weeks to open it.
Since I’m always looking for something to read while in an airplane, I took it with me on a flight last week.
Another person on the plane noticed the book, and asked (and answered) something to the effect of: “What would Jesus eat? He was Jewish. It would have to be kosher.”
Her comment caught me a little off-guard, but we started a discussion. I told her what the gist of the book was, to which she said, “Well, Jesus ate meat, so it’s O.K.”
It was then that I realized what a great tool this book was to get out the message to other people. Had the person I spoke to been someone who was a Christian prone to believing the anti-meat messages, it would have been a good way to explain that, yes, it is O.K.
I still haven’t finished the book, not because I didn’t enjoy it, but because I decided then and there I would take that book with me to other places where I would be around other people and have nothing else to do but wait and read. Who knows what the next conversation will bring?
And at some point after I do finish the book, I will give it to someone on the fence about eating meat.

The tree in the banner pic is remarkable. Though tremendous, it seems more comforting than menacing. (It can be seen better on the site’s home page.)

From Amazing Polly: “An Attorney General is shot to death on a tiny island in Micronesia. Following this story leads to a Baby Mill run out of Arizona, Human Trafficking foundations, Manta Rays, a child named Maggie & Barack Obama. Strap in! ”
It addresses the connection between Jeff Flake and other NeverTrumpers to the Marshall Islands and an adoption lawyer who was bringing pregnant women to Arizona to sell their babies, as well as to the murder of the acting AG of the island of Yap who was also a human rights lawyer.

They should charge them for ‘assault’ due to possibly causing hearing damage using bull horns so close to people’s ears.
Also ‘interfering with commerce’ ‘stopping traffic’ and ‘littering’ ‘vandalizing’ and a bunch of other charges.

andyocoregon

I’d like to see a group of conservative customers grab idiots like this and push them outside so the employees wouldn’t have to worry about getting fired. And if that moron with the bullhorn tried yelling a few inches from my face, he’d have it shoved really hard into his nose so it bled profusely.

Bush was a warmonger President. He was responsible for the deaths of more than 4,400 U.S. soldiers in the Iraq “War”. We should never have invaded Iraq. Saddam Hussein had control of the terrorist groups.

I posted this ‘sore losers’ cartoon at The Conservative Treehouse shortly after the November, 2016 election, and have been thinking of it again lately. This kind of response by Democrats will seem mild-mannered compared to what their response will likely be when they lose again in 2020.

Handel composed his wonderful Water Music in 1717. and it was first performed on 17 July of that year, after King George I requested a concert on the River Thames.
The king watched from the royal barge with various dukes and duchesses as the 50 musicians played nearby.
It all sounds so romantic.

Your pope is taking the Catholic Church downhill into syncretism (mixing pagan religions into Christianity).
He’s a detriment and he disrespects and defiles the Deposit of Faith given to the Apostles!!!!!

Deplorable Patriot

Remember, there is every possibility he’s not the real pope. When there is heresy involved, we are not obliged to follow his opinions. This isn’t the first time that has come up. The rest of us are just going along on our way. A couple parishes over, there’s both low and high Latin Mass every Sunday. My pastor still does stuff by the book, even if it’s bare bones when it comes to ceremony. Adoration chapels are still open. When that changes, we’re in trouble. We aren’t yet. Just waiting for the wackos to age out.

GA/FL

You mean ya’ll don’t have giant puppets in your services? Or pouty pop/blues singer style soloists?

A live look at Tropical Storm Nestor’s winds and location:
https://www.windy.com/?30.417,-84.185,5
So far, so good in N FL – light rain and breezy, but the day is young and the eye will pass right over the panhandle.
Please excuse all the comments – I’m sitting at home today because of the storm and because there’s an old grapevine smothered oak tree in the HOA-owned woods next to my house that has been losing limbs every year.
Over the years, it has been the site of a red-tail hawk’s nest and when I worked in the yard in the spring, when the babies were hatching, the hawks would cry warnings. I like the tree, but if it’s rotten inside, the projected eastern winds from Nestor could put blow it right into my kitchen and/or living room.

GA/FL

Unfortunately, most weather systems come from you to us.
Y’all are depending on California for your rainy weather.

Linda K Harrison

GA/FL – Just a thought – has anyone notified the HOA in writing that the tree “appears” to be a hazard because it is losing limbs yearly? As long as they have not been “notified” they have no responsibility to address the issue, they can always say they didn’t know. You could also notify the city and/or county with a cc of the original letter to the HOA, it would be harder for them to ignore the warning. If the tree is on their property, has become a hazard and they are notified, they are legally responsible to remedy the issue.
I currently live in NY and we have arborist who will come out to inspect a tree for free if there is an issue with it, you could enclose any comments he/she makes in your letter.
I was the past president of my HOA for 7 years in Maryland.

GA/FL

Thanks, Linda. I have warned them about it. So far, 2+ hurricanes haven’t brought it down. They did take out a dead pine tree in the same woods a few years ago that was hit by lightning.

Teagan

Ga/Fl….not all that far from you and we are experiencing the same weather at the present time but warnings of much more severe to come.
I’m making chicken stock this morning …smells heavenly…in preparation of a big pot of chicken soup later. In a few minutes I’m removing the bottom round roast from the freezer where it’s been for the last hour to “firm up”…will cut it into small pieces to make fresh ground meat. Hubby makes outstanding meatballs…melt in your mouth kind…and since there’s no golf today, that will be his task.
A cat to pet, books to read, naps to take….bring on the storm!

So far, Nestor is a dud and I’ve got pretty good weather here too!

andyocoregon

@GA/FL
I should hope you have sent at least one letter of concern to your HOA to have an arborist examine the old oak tree for internal rot. That would put the responsibility for any damage to your home where it belongs, on the HOA. Otherwise your homeowners insurance will have to pay for any damage that would occur if the tree or any of its heavy, large limbs blew down on your home.

GA/FL

Good word – Thank you, both Andy and Linda!

Linda Harrison

Hi Andy – since the tree is a known hazard and has been apparently for some time with no remedy – her insurance company could choose to deny any claim because of negligence. Some of it would depend on the wording in the policy, amount of damage, whether or not it would be feasible to subrogate against the HOA, how many previous claims were made on the policy, payment record, etc.
If there was a claim it could put her policy in jeopardy for renewal or a cause cancel until there is a remedy for “the remaining tree” if it doesn’t all come down at once. Some companies may come by to check on the status of the home and if they notice the tree they could non renew based on that. My neighbor recently was required to replace the roof or their company was going to non-renew (because of a drive by).

The woodstove reminds me of the old woodstove we got for free many years ago and placed on our covered patio in the backyard. We used to sit out there for hours with the dogs even in winter with snow. It was my cigar refuge as I’m not allowed to smoke ’em inside the house. I wouldn’t want to anyway because it stains the walls and ceiling.
The woodstove finally rusted out and I got tired of replacing the smoke stack every year, so I called up a metal recycler who came out and hauled it away. There are many old non-catalytic woodstoves available that people remove from homes and cannot be resold in Oregon by state law.

This evil organization crept up on us slowly with their compacts and treaties. By now we are buried under. Is there no way left for us to get out of this trap?
=======
The Global Compact for Migration
Soon after World War II, the 1951 U.N. Refugee Convention, a legally binding multilateral treaty, defined who is a refugee, what rights they have, and established the obligations of nations in their regard.[1] In the broader field of migration, however,[2] apart from a convention on migrant workers,[3] until now there has been no comparable international agreement regarding migrants in general.
In 1951, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) was established as an intergovernmental organization, working with governmental, intergovernmental and nongovernmental partners to provide a wide variety of services in the field of migration. The IOM joined the U.N. system in September 2016.[4]

It’s so trivially easy to make baby food.
If you prepare your own dinners at home, you puree some of what you are eating and feed it to the baby.
You can also put the puree’d food into an ice tray and freeze little cubes of food.
And you control EXACTLY what goes into it.

Well what do you know! I Just wanted to say that I see that my premise is SPREADING. First it was Maria Bartiromo last week FINALLY seeing the timeline problems with Mifsud, Papadopolous ETAL. Then it was a random article sharing that Glen Simpson was paid to start the dossier in the FALL of 2015. Now, finally, after I posted this EXACT stuff over a YEAR ago on the Gateway Pundit, they FINALLY too have an article saying “Wait…WHAT….if CrowdStrike did not relay that the “Russian’s” “hacked” the DNC in JUNE 2016, who the Hell did Downer (Halper and Mifsud) know about that in MAY of 205 (really APRIL 2016)”. Wha’s next, Sundance posting it TOO. I hope so. It is ABOUT time!
They are ALL starting to see and QUESTION…what I saw and wrote about in my book over EIGHT months ago. I have been posting the info WELL over a year, before I even wrote my book. I am FINALLY glad someone else is finally seeing it, and TALKING about it, though they must have ignored me then.
I told them ALL, including Rush and Hannity, via Email, that there WAS a TIMELINE problem involving Papadopolous, Flynn, Cohen, Page, the plant, Don Jr, and Manafort.
I told EVERYONE that that meant this ALL started WAY before Crossfire Hurricane ALLOWED it to in July 31 2016, making Page a plant, and EVERYTHING else ILLEGAL. I also told them ALL that this went WAY back in 2015 WELL before 2016 to protect its source the dossier. We will see if I am right on everything else, that this ALL goes to the dossier, Obama had it made, paid for it FIRST, and then sold it, and THAT is why everyone “believed it” Then he used OUR intel agencies, and allies and foreign intel agencies and spies to push HIS narrative.
Lastly, that it is becoming KNOWN NOW, just before the Horovitz release, is NOT coincidental, it means ONE thing. I was RIGHT, about the timeline, this is DEVESTATING to the Cabal, , and the coup is going to be EXPOSED. Horowitz first, exposes, Barr reveals the “sources and methods” used, and for WHOM.. Durham INDICTS the lot for Conspiracy against the US and TREASON with all the evidence he, Horowitz, and Barr have gathered. They ALL, including the HEAD, Obama, go to GITMO or the wooden platform with a trap door and beams.
No wonder Schiff and the lot are so desperate. My book is going to be nearly (mostly) 100% confirmed. They are TOAST, BURNT TOAST.
The swamp is about to be drained, fumigated, set on fire, and then filled with concrete. Pay VERY close attention ladies and gentleman, we are now LIVING in HISTORY. Teach your children, let them SEE it, let them KNOW it, and let them STUDY it, so this shit NEVER even gets tried again. We are all about to be witness to the greatest crime in US history. Remember it, study it, LEARN from it. For it is the doom of men that they forget.

Rex, so once they knew it was DJT, they got to work on a plan to take him out? They must have been worried about him as the candidate, despite what their polls said. Any other GOP person would have folded…
Can you repeat what the timeline problem is? So many people talking about it, but it’s confusing what we’re talking about.

prognosticatasaurusrex

Certainly,
The Cabal and ther MSM sycophants would have you believe that Crossfire Hurricane, the counter intel investigation started on Donald Trump on July 31 2016 was the BEGINNING of all their spying.
That it was ALL on the up and up, and that through this investigation they “discovered” “Russian” collusion between Donald Trump, his campaign, and his surrogates to at first “hack” the DNC server, then “hack” John Podesta’s Gmail account, and finally, using WikiLeaks, who they list as a “Russian” agent and proxy, to interfere in the 2016 coming election, and “steal it from Hillary Clinton.
They used Carter Page, as that impetus, obtained a FISA warrant to spy on him, and ALL persons around or connected to him. They used the OHR dossier (you know it as the Steele dossier) to obtain that warrant. ALL based on FALSE premises like WikiLeaks was a “Russian” asset, Donald Trump was a “Russian” compromised Manchurian candidate, and that Russia “hacked” the 2016 election in favor of Trump and against Hillary.
ALL absolute BULLSHIT. Russia NEVER hacked anything, and NEVER interfered in the 2016 election at ALL.
The reason they used Page is because he was a former CIA and FBI agent that setup Russian Igor Sechin FOR us. Page already had a FISA put on him fomr that work in 2014. Page was planted to right the timeline, as he was the only one that had REAL Russian contact, AND he was the only one AFTER Crossfire began.
He was FISA’d in October 2016, after being “floated by Michael IssakoFf in September 2016.
Page was ALSO the only one set up and FISA’d, besides Don Jr, who did NOT get charged, arrested, or railroaded.
Page was an attempt to retroactively “set” the timeline right, and there fore “back” justify ALL the previous spying.
See, all the previous spying on Trump began, as now Glen Simpson has admitted, into at LEAST the Fall of 2015, when the dossier was created.
Trump was not even the Republican’s nominee yet, but that tells you he was ALWAYS the leading candidate, and the MARK from the beginning.
The OHR dossier was commissioned by Barack Obama, ($972,000 paid to Fusion GPS by Obama in EARLY 2016) in early 2015, created by Nellie Ohr, using NSA database searches granted to her by Obama, and then ILLEGALLY unmasked by Susan Rice and Samantha Power ALSO at Obama’s request, WITHOUTH a warrant, that is WHY they used OHR, through a 3rd party Fusion GPS to do the searches, WITHOUT a warrant, for plausible deniability.
All of this, was WAY before the “legitimizing” counter intel operation began in July 2016. A funny thing happened, Obama, and his Cabal began to quickly figure out that Hillary WAS NOT going to win, she had ZERO enthusiasm, and ZERO appeal beyond the MSM and the hardcore dems.
They thought the dossier, could be used to smear Trump into withdrawing, but he was only GAINING strength in the early part of 2016.
A plan was hatched to use the dossier to do more than smear Trump (think golden showers part, that is what HILLARY had inserted, to go with the Access Hollywood tape she was hold in reserve along with Alicia Muchado and others.
ALL to make Trump a sexist, serial harasser or worse)
Obama then authorized Comey and Brennan in EARLY 2016 to use the dossier to paint Trump as the original part of the dossier suggested, compromised by Putin over a failed 2012 Trump Tower Moscow, saying Trump was in debt to ALFA and Deusche bank, despite the project NEVER getting out of the PLANNING phase.
The dossier said that Michael Cohen was the principal intermediary and “bag man” for the Russians, and that he met with them in Prague. One problem with this ALL.
Not only was it the WRONG Michael Cohen, (Ohr had forgot to cross reference SS and passport info. ) The 2nd problem one would have to believe is that the Russians KNEW in 2012 that Trump was to run, and win FOUR years letter.
So, here comes the timeline problems. Obama knew that what he had commissioned against an American Citizen, and his family was ILLEGAL. and the Cohen part had been BUSTED. He NEEDED “proof” to justify the spying. So what did he do? Authorize MORE spying and SETUPS, this time using FOREIGN intel, govts, and SPIES.
That is when it began with the Manafort setup using Marie Yovanovich and the Black Ledger in March of 2016, right after Manafort had joined the Trump team. They used that PHONY document to force Manafort out, use his contacts in Ukraine against him and Trump, and his lobbying to later put him in prison for tax evasion, FARA violations, and bank fraud, all to get him to “roll over” on Trump.
One problem, Ukraine is NOT Russia, and the Podesta brothers firm, including John Podesta, Hillary’s campaign chair, was ALSO in the EXACT same lobbying deal that Manafort was (They were allowed to amend their FARA applications.)
So, Manafort did NOT justify the spying. They were buys setting up their Flynn narrative to be used later at this time as well. They moved on to Papadopolus in April of 2016, being setup and “fed” info on WikiLeaks, and the DNC “hack” using Stephen Halper and Joseph Mifsud, BEFORE anyone knew of the “hack”.
Then in April of 2016, the re setup Papdopolous, in London, using Halper again, and this time Alexander Downer, a former Australian diplomat, and Clinton friend. They had a supposed drunken Papadopolous in a bar, tell Downer the info that Mifsud had planted into him.
Downer went right to Five eyes in the UK and Australia, and did as told, relayed the conversation with Papadopolous (taped) to them. They used the Five Eyes back channel ( to circumvent US 4th amendment law)to transfer the info to Brennan at CIA, and he used it to further the narrative (Papadopolous HAD to also have a FISA for him to USE it) .
But, the Cabal had a problem here TOO. Papadopolous, on the same tape, had said sometime during the conversation, that he would NEVER relay Russian info, as it would be TREASON. So they could NOT use just him either.
They moved on in June 9th to Don Jr, and Natalia Veselnitskaya to set up Don Jr over “Russian dirt on Hillary…again with the WIKILEAKS, one problem, that was ALSO before the WIKI releases on the DNC, and Don Jr smelled a rat, and blew off Veselnitskaya when her story devolved into the Majitsky act on adoptions.
They tried to use the info from that meeting which was ALSO taped, against Don Jr (Natalia Veselnitskaya was briefed BEFORE and after the meeting directly by Glen Simpson, despite NOT being allowed in the country by Preet Bahara, the SDNY US attorney, someone gave her a “special” VISA to enter the country.)
Do Jr blew up that narrative by releasing all his emails (I suspect he ALSO had tapes, and KNEW the game that the Tower meeting was taped, probably because of Manafort ALSO having a FISA)
Now, they had NOTHING on Trump Russia “collusion” and ALL their spying BEFORE Crossfire began, had to have a justification, even a retroactive one. Enter Carter Page.
In October. The ONLY one of the previous NOT arrested, or charged with a crime, and the ONLY one with actual Russian contact, and the ONLY one AFTER July 31 2016.
Does that explain the timeline problem? We would not even HAVE known about the Papadopolous setup, except Adam Schiff PANICKED when Devin Nunes rightly fingered the OHR dossier as the START and predicate for it ALL. Nunes had seen in the WH SCIF, with his OWN eyes, that Obama not only KNEW about the spying, but HE set it up, and HE was getting REGULAR updates on ALL the previous Trump spying BEFORE July 31 2016. That is what THEY ALL are trying to hide.
Schiff ALSO saw the EXACT info Nunes did, and he said NOTHING. He only produced a counter memo to Nunes, citing Papadopolous and NOT Page as the START of the Counter intel investigation.
ONE SMALL problem, Schiff FORGOT that Papadopolus not only was WAY before July 31 2016, making it ILLEGAL, he was set up using FOREIGN spies, on FOREIGN soil, and there was exculpatory=y EVIDENCE they had to hide.
Schiff HIMSELF blew up the Cabal timeline to protect the dossier. WHY? Papadopolous was THEN the focus, and he was BEFORE Crossfire began.
The questions MUST be asked. WHY was a counter intel investigation initiated on CITIZEN, not even, nominee, Trump?
Who authorized it?
What methods and sources were used?
Who gave Ohr access?
Who REALLY paid for the dossier?
What was it’s REAL purpose?
Why was it used as BOTH the SOURCE, and PREDICATE and JUSTIFICATION for IITSSELF?
What did Barack Obama know?
WHEN did he know it?
Those questions are ALL losers for the Cabal, blow it ALL up, reveal a seditious treasonous COUP, lead to even MORE bad questions, and FINGER Barack Obama as the corrupt HEAD of this conspiracy. Make him a seditionist, and a TRAITOR.
Hope that answers your question. I will put this on my blog as well, incase the WP makes it too long and unreadable.

Ok, thanks Rex. Makes sense. We’ve “known” all along that the dossier originated much earlier than July, 2016. There was word that John McCain had his hands on it, but it appeared that the Dems purchased it. Obama and gang created it, shopped it out there I guess. Ultimately it will prove lying to the FISA Court – whether it can take them out for trying to interfere in an election or overthrow the results of one, don’t know.
Lots of potential perjury charges, abuse of power, entrapment, manufacturing false evidence, misuse of government (taxpayer) resources, etc.

prognosticatasaurusrex

Do not forget Conspiracy against the US, Sedition, initiating a coup, and TREASON.

ladypenquin

I haven’t, but I think those have a higher threshold to prove when it comes down to charges in court, and can we get a conviction. OTOH, if they have the phones, and all the evidence… 🙂

prognosticatasaurusrex

The Cabal have simply been attempting MULTIPLE coups for over 3 years. They used both our own and foreign intelligence agencies and SPIES on Americans, including a opposition candidate, President elect, sitting President, AND his transition, business, family, friends, and administration.
If THAT is not treason, and does not meet the bar for the highest threshold, there is no need for treason or sedition to even be listed in the law books or Constitution anymore.
Make it ANYTHING goes, and now Trump can simply do to them what they did to HIM, and WORSE. Hell lets line them ALL up, have a nice fancy show trial, convict them all, and shoot them. Hey lets just SKIP the trial.
Oh, wait, that WOULD be a dictator ship. That WOULD be a banana republic. That WOULD be antithetical to ALL the Constitution stands for.
Well, I submit, that what the Cabal has done IS ALSO antithetical to the Constitution and the rule of law. Unless STOPPED, tried and PUNISHED, we simply ARE that banana republic, just with a fancy “one way” interpretation of “law and order” The law would THEN be whatever the Dems and their compliant MSM SAY it is, whenever it suits THEM. Justice for thee but not for ME. Or as My mother used to say, “do as I say, not as I do.
Time for the Cabal to pay the CHECK, and it rightly should and WILL cost them the ultimate price. If they get away with THIs, what is the point of LAW.
Tell me why the hell should I, you, or ANYONE else obey the laws, pay the taxes, or generally not just TAKE what we want and need? Because without laws, enforced EQUALLY, no matter status, you have ANARCHY, and that banana republic again.
Dems simply have NOT had to EVER pay for this shenanigan to the poit they ALL think they are untouchable.
History, from the Bolshevik’s and Tsars, to Kings, Emirs, Queens., dictators, and potentates, is LITTERED with the wreckage and bodies from those corrupt “rulers” who oppressed their people with unjust laws that they themselves were above.
The Cabal must simply PAY or what happens next will make the Civil War and the Bolshevik revolution look like 3rd grade skirmishes over dodge ball.
We the people ARE watching, we ARE paying attention, and we DEMAND justice. If their is no longer a political or legal remedy, there is only the sword left.
One mans opinion. I would prefer to not destroy the greatest country ever constructed, kill millions of men, WOMEN, and CHILDREN, all to save a corrupt Cabal who thought they knew better, and could OVER RULE our will and election, and that we were too weak, indifferent, or STUPID to STOP them.

Agree, and after reading how Biden boast about “Borking” Judge Bork, so that we got Kennedy, it’s time for the gloves to come off. These sleazebags go back decades, and nothing has stopped their grab for power, abusing their office to cause harm. Of course, I’m still waiting for Lois Lerner to go to jail for what she did…

I am afraid it is beyond HIGH TIME that we drew a red line of HERE and NO further. It is time for US to take back some ground. Trump may be our last BEST chance. If not NOW then WHEN?

TheseTruths

I agree with what you’re saying, but when people (including Pres. Trump) say “so this will never happen again,” I think this particular set of crimes might not happen again, but *they* are already cooking up others to bring down this country. It will never stop. We can’t rest on cleaning out this particular swamp situation and think legal and procedural safeguards are in place. Criminals do not abide by the law.
That said, yes, it is essential that we get to the bottom of these crimes and prosecute the perps.

prognosticatasaurusrex

Once this conspiracy is exposed, the perpetrators MUST be punished to the fullest extent of the law, including the ULTIMATE punishment. That will be both a lesson and a DETERRENT to future action.
If we do not stop them now, and punish the guilty, we as a Constitutional republic are through.

I can’t express how much I HATE it when people deceive, lie, hoax, and the like. This is exactly like the hate hoaxes of Jussie Smollett, Elizabeth Warren (fired because she was pregnant by the mean *man*), and so many others. Now Hillary wants us to believe she was denied her dreams of working with NASA because of her gender. Hogwash! I’m so glad someone called her on it. She has lied so much that she thinks she can get away with it forever.
But the worst part is that these people want to besmirch someone else, by lying, for their personal political gain. And many times, WE are the ones being lied about (Trump supporters, whites, straights, men — whatever group(s) one falls into). Drain the swamp!

FOLLOWING GOD
Michael Youssef, Ph.D.
Oct 18, 2019
obeying our worthy god psalms culture spiritual growth Holy Spirit
The psalmist discovered the joys and benefits of obedience to God:
Oh, how I love your law! I meditate on it all day long. . . . I have more understanding than the elders, for I obey your precepts. I have kept my feet from every evil path so that I might obey your word. I have not departed from your laws, for you yourself have taught me. How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth! I gain understanding from your precepts; therefore I hate every wrong path. Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path. (Psalm 119:97, 100-105)
Our society seems to take one misstep after another. People around us are wandering aimlessly through life, anot knowing what they truly believe or whom they should follow. Politicians and community leaders have strayed off course as they have ignored the divine wisdom and guidance of God in order to follow their own human principles.comment image
God wants to show us how to live abundant and joyful lives. He desires to lead the way for us through life, steering us away from temptation and sheltering us in the storms. He wants to give us guidance in our decisions. We are not to live as the world does, chasing after every new philosophical trend. Instead, we are to live confidently knowing that the only one we need to follow is God.
Unlike the worldly culture around us, we are not rudderless. We have God’s guiding Holy Spirit to show us the best course. But first we must surrender completely to following His will and His commandments—even when they do not match our personal desires. We must spend regular time in prayer learning His voice and His heart. The more we know God, the easier it will be to discern His voice from our own self-serving thoughts.
Prayer: God, thank You for providing all the guidance that I need in this life through Your Spirit. I pray that I would spend time with You daily and surrender to Your plans as You reveal them to me. Help me to trust You to lead the way. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.
“I wait for your salvation, Lord, and I follow your commands” (Psalm 119:166).

Supreme Court will hear challenge to autonomy of CFPB
By David G. Savage Los Angeles Times 7 hrs ago
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court said Friday it will hear a constitutional challenge to the semi-independent status of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, a government agency created by Congress in the wake of Great Recession to police mortgage providers, credit card issuers and other consumer lenders.
At issue is whether the bureau’s director has too much protection from being fired by the president. Under the law, the director can only be fired by the president for cause. It was designed that way by Elizabeth Warren, who was then a Harvard professor and is now a U.S. senator and leading Democratic presidential contender, to protect the agency from outside political pressure.
The Trump administration urged the court to hear the case and reject the director’s semi-independent status. Since it launched in 2011, conservatives and business groups have long complained the agency has too much power.
A ruling in the case could signal whether the court’s conservative majority is ready to rein in an array of other semi-independent agencies, such as the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Federal Communications Commission or even the Federal Reserve.

Deplorable Patriot

Congress created the bureau as part of the Dodd-Frank Act following the collapse of Wall Street and the home mortgage market. It was charged with protecting consumers from financial scams involving home loans, credit cards, student loans and banking. And it did so by issuing new regulations and launching investigations.
But it quickly became a prime target of finance businesses and their lawyers. Critics include Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh who, as an appeals court judge, argued in dissent that it was unconstitutional to have a federal agency operated by director who could not be removed by the president. Under the CFPB law, the president appoints a director with the approval of the Senate, but once appointed, the director may be removed only for “inefficiency, neglect of duty or malfeasance in office.”
Kavanaugh said the CFPB director had unusually broad powers that included issuing regulations, undertaking investigations and handing out sanctions and penalties. “The director enjoys more unilateral authority than any other official in any of the three branches of the U.S. government,” aside from the president himself, he wrote last year prior to his nomination to the high court.

EXCLUSIVE: UN Agency Blocks Pro-Lifers from Conference
By Austin Ruse | October 18, 2019
NEW YORK, October 18 (C-Fam) The pro-abortion UN Population Fund (UNFPA) does not want pro-life critics in attendance when the agency convenes a conference in Nairobi in mid-November.
UNFPA and the government of Kenya are co-hosting the Nairobi Summit on ICPD25: Accelerating the Promise to mark the 25th anniversary of the original and very controversial Cairo Conference on Population and Development.
UNFPA’s website claims the conference “will offer an inclusive platform, bringing together governments, civil society, private sector organizations, women’s’ groups and youth networks to discuss and agree on actions to accelerate implementation” of the Cairo Program of Action.
Pro-life groups with UN consultative status are wondering if this inclusion includes them. According to Sharon Slater of Family Watch International, only one ostensibly pro-life group has been accepted to attend, the only one that also boasts a “reproductive health” program. None of the major pro-life groups at the UN have been accepted, including Slater’s group, or C-Fam [publisher of the Friday Fax]. The Washington DC-based Heritage Foundation has not been approved either.
Slater told the Friday Fax, “We are very concerned that many representatives from pro-life organizations in various countries who have tried to register for the upcoming Nairobi Summit have not had their registrations approved. This is very disturbing, especially since, UNFPA, lists as part of the organizing team for the Summit, many organizations which profit from or aggressively promote abortion including various Planned Parenthood entities, Women Deliver, Ipas (the manufacturer of “Easy Grip” handheld abortion device), and more.”
Slater continued, “This seems to be a new trend at the UN to discriminate openly against pro-life organizations so only aggressive pro-abortion voices can be heard. Just last month at the UN’s civil society conference held in Salt Lake City, Utah, our pro-life event was canceled just two days before the UN conference, even though it had been accepted, paid for, and tickets for speakers purchased.”

Cuppa Covfefe

Yep. Prayer and fasting will do it, just as Jesus said.
The UN has altars to Satan in most, if not all of their buildings, certainly the one in NYC. Destroying that, and exorcising that evil will go a long way to weakening the UN. There was another Robert Muller (!) at the UN who was their chief Satanist in charge of the “education” agenda. His horrid deeds are documented at http://www.crossroad.to (Berrit Kjos, author of “Brave New Schools”) and http://www.cuttingedge.org .
Probably http://www.invisibleserfscollar.com has info on that as well (it’s a very technical site, but absolutely invaluable for research on what’s happening to the “ed biz”)…

Not really sure how to interpret that – but, if they did infect and unsuspecting person -yes – they should be charged – however – where would you lock them up?

GA/FL

It has not worked to allow the bearers of these diseases to continue in freedom. Their (irresponsible, addictive, compulsive) behaviors have allowed the virus to continue to morph and prevent research progress toward a cure. Same with super-gonorrhea….and other STDs. The Gay/Bi population has the highest incidence of all STDs, including hepatitis, herpes, HPV, and many have several concurrent diseases There have even been meningitis outbreaks in this group. It’s so sad and maddening too. The researchers and doctors shake their heads.

duchess01

You know – I bet there is a cure for these diseases – but, those in the know are not interested in curing people – they are more interested in dependency than cures.

GA/FL

Remember the old sanitoriums for TB patients? Well….let them start the same for HIV patients. Kind of like a monastery.
Same with drug addicts. Lock them away from the rest of the world until they are ready to live without drugs.

duchess01

Oh, I see what you mean – however – seems to me – there is no cure – so won’t they be in ‘lockup’ (special hospital) for the rest of their lives?

Cuppa Covfefe

Better than the alternative, which is endangering and/or infecting the rest of society.
If people do not act responsibly, in the case of highly hazardous and/or infectious diseases, they must be separated so they do not spread their infection(s). That doesn’t mean that they are treated like animals, but it DOES mean that they are quarantined until and unless a cure is found. The same thing goes for other infections diseases, the same as it’s always been.
Why should we have to pay for their impropriety?
And yes, it’s unfortunate, indeed tragic, that there are innocent people who have been infected (e.g. by blood transfusion). I rather expect that they would be reticent to expose others to infection, unless they are promiscuous. It all comes down to a risk/benefit decision. There are certain groups which are highly promiscuous, and, oddly enough, they are also the highest risk. Transfusion recipients, on the other hand, are not. And, were the blood supply thoroughly screened, and not held hostage to the “progressive” agenda, this problem wouldn’t exist…

duchess01

The entire situation is so sad – especially, for people who are victims of an impure blood supply – quarantine is one solution – and I agree – we should not be responsible for their irresponsibility – an awful mess.

Unseen has a good thread, re: Durham’s investigation.

trumpismine

Final thoughts. The article is of course a leftist article trying to down play the investigation, however, you can read the shock of the left in the article at how advanced the investigation is. It’s also, I think, warning the main plotters that Barr and Durham on on to them.

ladypenquin

That was the gold nugget conclusion. 🙂 Just saw a headline that says Durham is going to interviewing Clapper and Brennan. So now we’ll see how much they want to protect themselves, and who they’ll give up.

trumpismine

I’m interested in what if any that the C_A gives up or what their lack of co-op might lead to….
Durham is moving on down the road!

Cuppa Covfefe

Also worth noting is that VSGPDJT has given AG Barr very broad, if not complete authority for declassification, which means that no matter what the FIB or Commies In Action want, Barr can declassify it. Will be very interesting to see where that leads. The crooks ARE going to be exposed…

why would the President do this?

Wasn’t worth the flak coming in because it was POTUS “owned.” Not sure where it will be.

Cuppa Covfefe

Could also be an “end-around maneuver”. The presstitutes apparently HATE Camp David, and perhaps that was VSGPDJT’s first choice, though he knew THEY wouldn’t like it. Soooo, he suggests Doral, and the Presstitutes, et. al., have a meltdown hissy-fit. Camp David, then, becomes the best alternative.
VSGPDJT gets what he originally wanted, and the presstitutes are again left chasing the laser pointer…. none the wiser. Though I have to say, a used brick is probably wiser that the presstitutes…

I have the Robert Shaw recording of this…and other of his work. I was privileged to attend a live Christmas Messiah concert conducted by Shaw about 20 or so years ago.

piper567

GA, I once heard a lecture ab why Robert Shaw’s chorales had a distinct sound.
It turns out that, rather than have Sopranos, Tenors, Altos and Bass in separate “sections”, Shaw equally distributed the singers, by part, amongst one another.
sort of the original “wall of sound”?
After hearing this, I carefully listened to various chorale differently, and by golly, it surely makes a huge difference!

GA/FL

I have definite preferences… a real affinity for Shaw’s work, just as I can’t stand the sound of Vladimir Horowitz’s sour tuned piano….it makes me cringe.
I loved Arthur Rubenstein’s work… had a recording of his Chopin waltzes that got me through graduate school.

Cuppa Covfefe

There’s a video of Arthur Rubenstein doing the Grieg a minor Piano Concerto, with Andre Previn (LSO?) conducting. Rubenstein is quite old at this point, and his eyesight is not the greatest…
The second movement has a (relatively) long orchestral introduction, and you can see Rubenstein probably reflecting upon all the times he has played this piece, and what Grieg had in mind (I think they met at some point). Like Helene Grimaux, he has a very expressive face, as well as perfect pitch, and one can see that both in his countenance and his playing. His autobiographies (“My Young Years” and “My Many Years”) are great reading, and a fascinating view of both the “old days” in music, and the “old world” in general.
I had a chance to go to what turned out to be his last recital, in Los Angeles, when I was in Uni. For some idiotic reason, I declined. I regret that, to this day… He was probably the last link to the “old masters”. Heifetz and Piatigorsky, Stravinsky, (and a few others) taught at USC when I was there, but even then, in the early 1970s, they were quite old. Back in those days musicians weren’t cookie-cutter products of the “don’t take any risks, it has to be flawless” school of playing fomented by the likes of Dorothy DeLay and her ilk. No, there were many competing masters, and styles, and “schools” of playing.
There are many to who Horowitz is the “be all, end all”, just like in cello-land, there is Starker versus Rostropovich versus Tortelier versus Maisky versus (yuck) YoYo Ma. And that’s not even considering Fournier, Feurmann (tragic loss there), DuPre, Zara Nelsova, Cassado, Schafran and others. Here’s a pic from the 1966 Tchaikovsky cello competition, with some of the greatest cellists ever:comment image
(from the caption) At the 4th competition in 1966.
From left to right: Gregor Piatigorsky, Piatigorsky’s brother, Gaspar Cassado, Pierre Fournier, Daniil Shafran, Mstislav Rostropovich. (I have never seen Shafran and Rostropovich together.)
Here’s Artur Rubenstein doing the Grieg a minor, which I mentioned above… classic… note how he doesn’t let the inner voices get lost (as opposed to many pianists today). Look at Rubenstein’s face at around 15 minutes in (beginning of the second movement).

If Tulsi was a good woman – she would not be running as a Democrat.
In fact, she would not BE a Democrat.

On the other hand, if she ran as anything else she would never be elected in Hawaii. Not defending her at all, but it’s just the way it is in Hawaii.

On the CrowdStrike thread someone showed she has praised Antifa and was photographed with one of the domestic terrorist leaders.

Oh yes, I agree she’s an puzzling character that I, personally, have not come to a conclusion about. Nor would I trust her, in any way, right now.

This Tulsi attack is working. I just about had a stroke this morning. My bf decided to write an email congratulating her for standing up to Hitlery. He’s a die hard Trump supporter but this hit job got his sympathy and anger at HRC riled up. Not good because she appears middle of the road and sane compared to the others.

andyocoregon

She’s the only Dem candidate who said onstage the other night the impeachment effort needs to come to an end. There are more important things to legislate. That probably drew a lot of wrath from all loony liberal Demonrats.

mollypitcher5

yeah it probably did make some of them cringe but it’s all the ones (the ones at home) not badly infected with socialist dreams that are going to be voting too.
I think Clinton is nutty enough to call TG a Russian asset but she’s also evil enough to play a part in some psychological ploy to turn voters to Dem Tulsi. Big question…is it real or ploy?

GA/FL

Too late, Abraham – your wife being a Democrat disgraces the uniform anyway.

andyocoregon

I don’t agree with that. Many fine military members are registered Democrats, but that doesn’t mean they all vote Democrat.

GA/FL

She has praised Antifa – she’s that kind of leftist. She’s running on the same old ruinous Democrat policies. Democrats have evolved into a corrupt socialist globalist organization. If she or any military were thinking patriots – they would NOT be Democrats. Or vote for RINOs like Rubio and Romney either for that matter.

Gudthots

This is the key to the deception. Tulsi is a younger version of the same old playbook. Nothing she has done has convinced me that her motives are pure by any stretch.

mollypitcher5

There is no possible way for ANY demonrat to play by the rules for any length of time. On the remote chance she won..they’d twist her into a puppet before she even took the oath. That’s the thing..if a person isn’t part of the cabal they will be by the time the screws got tightened
