This Merry Warrior Monday 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).
Yes, it’s Monday…again.
But it’s okay! We’ll get through it.
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. 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.
Wheatie’s Rules:
- No food fights.

Duchess Thumps!!!
Duchess is a Thumper, ‘twas said loud and clear.
‘Course, we all know Duchess . . . we’re glad she’s here:
Proclaiming God’s Word with the Verse of the Day,
Posting Daily Blessings to brighten our way.
Always thankful for blessings received,
And for prayers answered . . . God’s will achieved.
Praying for babies, God’s gift in the womb;
For them and children, heaven has much room.
Praying for others, that they knock on the Door
For Christ’s salvation, His peace, and more.
There is no better blessing to receive
Than that of faith, for we must first believe.
With good will to QTreeps, it’s well understood
That we’ll often hear “God Bless You Real Good!!!”
And for our efforts, we know she cares,
When we receive an “Amen goes right there!”
Day after day and year after year,
Duchess has wisdom we all need to hear.
Presenting The Way in a clear, strong voice:
Will it be life or death . . . we must make that choice!
One day in the future, when Duchess comes home,
The angels will sing, for Duchess is known.
She’ll be met with these words from God’s Son:
“Good and faithful servant, welcome! Well done!”
So . . . Duchess Thumps!
Well . . . she Rocks, too!!
. . . and God Rules!!!
P.S. –
Bible Thumper
A person that knows the Bible well and isn’t wishy-washy or politically correct about addressing issues from a biblical perspective.
When confronted with an issue that is addressed in God’s Word, the person may often respond with a Bible verse or parable to help put the issue in biblical perspective and present understanding and a way to address the solution that is in accordance with God’s perspective as written in the Bible.
Of course, there are numerous definitions of Bible Thumper used by unbelievers to denigrate Bible-centered Christians who view and use the truth and wisdom of the Bible as their guide, applicable to a large variety of situations occurring in life.
Amazing poem Carl.
God bless Duchess and everyone here.
Thank you, Carl. Very nice tribute to Duchess.
Thank you for this tribute to our Duchess, Carl.
Well said!
😊🥰🤗👍
We are blessed to have her!
Amen, Carl! I look forward to Duchess’ choice of Bible verses every day.
Love this, Carl. Duchess is a Blessing to us Treepers. Has a heart of gold willingly shared.
Amen. I look forward every day to Duchess’s daily blessings, a peaceful, holy respite from an often mean and turbulent world, returning focus to what is truly and eternally important. GOD Bless Duchess, and GOD Bless you Carl for your wonderful poem.
Absolutely wonderful Carl … duchess01 is a blessing every day …
It’s totally awesome to read the Bible, it settles into you heart and soul to the point when a situation occurs or a passage is being quoted, there you are in spirit to spirit. There’s nothing more precious …
OH, MY!!!
I opened The Q Tree this morning
And what did I see?
A poem from Carl and Oh, Lord
‘Twas written ’bout me!
And now I have a nickname
And a picture to go forthwith
Oh, Lord I’ll ne’er be the same
And that, Dear Lord, is no myth!
You know Carl, Oh Lord
You gave him a special pen
You gifted him with the Word
Made him stand out among men!
Many a verse he has crafted
About men and women and You
In politics he has drafted
The worst of the worst tis true!
But today, I find myself giggling
As I read each verse come to be
While in my chair I am wiggling
Through my words he has captured me!
God Bless You Real Good, Dear Carl
For blessing me this day
How can I thank for sending a smile
A tribute and a shout out my way!
God has given you a gift
A talent you share with us all
One that gives us all a lift
It is how you answer His call!
I am humbled, Carl – Thank You!!!
Outstanding, Duchess…what a wonderful tribute to our Bakocarl!
😊🥰🤗👍
Very nicely said!
What can I tell you, Wheatie? His poem was not only timely, but it blessed my day!
It did not start out very well – but – his poem literally turned on the lights – we had a power surge – whacked everything out – and Jesus answered my prayer quickly!!!
God is Good!!!
God bless you Duchess.
Beautiful song, Rod! He sure is AWESOME!!!
God Bless You, too, Rod!
Hope you are hanging in there – let us know when the next surgery comes – Mkay? Praying for you daily!!!
I have 3 surgeries left,the 30th,31st and November 6th.The specialist said they will determine on skin graft the 13th of November all depending on how my leg heals.
Thank you for asking Duchess.
Oh, wow, Rod – what a trial! We will pray you all the way through! Sending Angels to hold you up and help your throughout! God Bless!!!
God bless you Duchess.
God Bless You, too, Rod! Remember – If God brought you to it – He will see you through it!
Amen Duchess
* Smiling *
Thank you, Carl, for re-confirming what a lovely, supportive place this is.
Thumpers will thump.

The Syrian Democratic Forces will be abolished, and the fighters will join the 5th Corps (Assault Legion) under Russian control.
This is your proof that the Gulf Cooperation Council nudged all parties into this agreement.
The troops who did all the fighting for the Syrian Democratic Forces were professional commandos from the Saudi-led Muslim Coalition–which isn’t entirely Muslim.

None of the parties making this agreement can actually fight, so that means that the GCC is now protecting Syria in its entirety.
And THAT means Assad is just a figurehead.
Note that the Iranians and all their lackeys are GONE.
The GCC picked away at them until critical mass was reached.
AND.
Nobody is announcing it. Therefore it’ll be easier to move forward from this moment.

In January, the GCC–in the form of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham–destroyed the entire Turkish-backed rebel coalition in northwestern Syria.
It took nine days.
NOW, the Syrian Arab Army is MERGING with the Kurdish forces.
All of them will have strategic-commando units attached to them for a while.
Turkey will either announce victory and stop, or lots of Turkish-backed Islamists will die.

All those men are dead. The GCC killed them.

He too is now dead.

Everyone had their asses kicked.

The GCC didn’t become involved on a large scale until October of 2015.
It took several years of negotiations. Nobody trusted the Saudis.
What we’re seeing now is that the Saudis are completely trustworthy, and they’ll never reveal their role in all this.

I’ve been able to reverse engineer the Syrian Civil War, but I was totally unable to see how it would be solved.
Astonishing brilliance and military skill went into winning the war.

But we should never again invade any Middle Eastern country. No matter what.

As a military historian, I find myself stunned over and over and over.

Americans are actually not warlike. We hate war. I’m not saying that Arabs war; I’m saying that they deal with it better than we do.

What’s happening is that everyone is ending up in their proper role.
We can build and use massive fleets and air forces.
But the Arabs can go behind the lines and mercilessly wipe out everyone who needs it. And they aren’t conflicted.
This is all a good thing. The fewer injured and dead troops we have, the better.
War is becoming obsolete. I never thought I’d see it take place.

@NevadaJack
Graham is playacting.
He knows the real story.
Translation, Trump was reliable and BRILLIANT. He let the Arabs sort out their own differences, and then when it was achieved, he backed us out to KEEP the peace, and prohibit a NEW war being started. WIn/win. Turkey gets what it wants, Syria gets what they want, the Kurds get what they want, ISIS is decimated, Russia and Iran are gone or leaving, and so are WE. There is NO LONGER any leverage AGAINST the US by the Middle East (oil). We can now get on about our OWN affairs, bring our troops home, and FINALLY end the endless money and body bit of Mid East Politics.
NO wonder the Neocons (never Trumpers ALL) and the left are so upset, along with the MIC. Their never ending cash cow just got taken away, and it ISN’T coming back.
You know Ozzy, people think Schiff and Pelosi are in Jordan undermining this, and they ARE, but I think their REAL purpose, is to find out just what Barr, Durham and Trump KNOW about not only this and Ukraine, but ALSO Benghazi, Turkey, Syria, and Iraq. All to do with the formation of ISIS, the START of the Syrian war, and all the money and OUR weapons that were passed around.
People rightly think that it was not the Biden’s mention in the July 25th phone call that peaked the Cabal’s interest, but it was CrowdStrike or Yovanovich. I think what REALLY got their attention was the mentions of Hillary’s SERVER, and all the talk of WEAPONS. It is WHY they are highlighting it.
We now know with almost certainty, that Benghazi was a weapons deal that went bad and armed rebels that would BECOME ISIS and rebels in Syria and Yemen. What IF Ukraine was the EXACT same thing, only this time they were going to arm rebels to start a war with Russia. I have speculated before that the Clinton Foundation was THE money laundering device for ALL of the Benghazi stuff and more, what if there WAS money supposed to go to Ukraine, that went someplace ELSE (Iran and their proxies in Yemen). IF that server IS there (what if we HAVE it now) via CrowdStrike, that would be a big old DANGER to the Cabal, especially if it entails as I have pondered. That would be one sure reason for a 3rd faux coup.
See, this is what has ALWAYS bothered me. Ukraine is and has been a DEN of corruption dating back to its separation from the USSR. EVERYONE knows it, and the left under Obama and Clinton as Sec of State, MAXIMIZED it. BUT, why use THAT particular phone call?
They are OBVIOUSLY monitoring ALL of POTUS’s phone conversation, always looking for ANYTHING to use against him. But WHY that call. There had to be DOZENS more with the exact sorts of things. There have to still be dozens of political embeds in the State dept in foreign countries who could or would help set this up in any number of different ways or countries. Why THAT call.
We know Yovanovich, Taylor, and others are DIRTY. We know of the efforts here by Clinton operatives to gain dirt on Trump. We KNOW what Yovanovich did to Manafort and others. We KNOW the Biden’s were engaged in PFP. WHY highlight that through THIS call. It cannot be the Biden stuff, though that is what they will use as deflection. It cannot be a quid pro quo, as to have that, the party Quo party must KNOW it is being given something for something and a consequence if it does NOT. Zelinsky knew NOTHING, and felt ZERO pressure.
That CANNOT be it. Even Biden, unless he was involved in FAR more SERIOUS things in Ukraine than PFP over his son’s jobs…like WEAPONS to Ukraine or TECHNOLOGY to China.
In my book, the Cabal would NOT go to the wall over this, knowing what it could REVEAL if it went bad, unless they were SCARED shitless that something ELSE would be revealed that upset the ENTIRE apple cart. They are going to the EXTREME on this, which means there is obviously a MAJOR vulnerability for them there, or they would have simply did the standard deny, deflate, deflect crap they always do.
That server and CrowdStrike, reveal FAR more than Biden PFP, or even 2016 setups. The server is the golden goose, the Rose Bud. THAT is what they are afraid of, and it ISN”T just for the 2016 stuff, it is MORE.
That is why Pelosi and Schiff are in Jordan, they basically put their witch hunt on HOLD to do this, that means they are SCARED at just what Durham and Barr have found. They give two rips about the Kurds, and if that pullout would constitute anything to help an impeachment, because the President did NOT endanger ANY Americans, he protected them, he did not abandon an ally, their job was DONE. He could NOT attack or risk WAR with a treatied ally in Turkey, so they know that furor is moot.
No, Pelosi and Schiff are there on a fact finding mission, and it ALL is about what Barr and Durham HAVE. For them to do this, they must be SCARED that we have the server. ALL of this is going to blow up in Nancy and Schiff’s face, they will be destroyed by this. Where was Nancy’s first delegation going? You know the one Trump CANCELED. There is more here than meets the eye!
Great comment. I wonder, too, exactly WHO they are visiting in Jordan – King Abdullah would be a fool to work against Pres Trump, and as far as I’ve seen would not do so. Are the Dems visiting another evil faction on the sly while in Jordan?
Of course they are. Why go to JORDAN when the dispute is in Syria with Turkey and the Kurds? If they REALLY card about the Kurds, they would be in Ankara meeting with Edrogan or his reps. Not in Amman.
You are very right. The Biden pfp is just a bright shiny object. It gets the msms attention,against their will, but more importantly it leads into a much bigger corruption. The Bidens are just roadkill compared to the big game Potus is hunting. Nancy et al are just flotsam and will be cast aside By the cabaland they know it.
The beast is nervous and burning assets at a prodigious pace. Anyone who’s been protected for their greed and treachery up till now will do anything to not be the next one to face the lions.
You have a great writing style,laying out the facts and ASKING THE RIGHT QUESTIONS
Thanks, if only my HS English Lit teacher could see me now LOL. Back in the day I could have written Grapes of Wrath or War and Peace and gotten at best a C+. LOL. Same for my college professor. I guess all their “tough love” finally kicked in.
On a serious note, I do try to just be LOGICAL. ALL the book sense in the world is not worth as much as a good “nose” and good old fashioned common sense (something my grand ma used to say).
I found out a few decades ago the ONE innate quality or skill I possessed was a good BS detector. I pride myself on being able to sniff out even a polished BS artist.
This WHOLE sordid tale has been NOTHING but BS, and it seemed NO ONE, was truly seeing it. (though through my travels here and elsewhere, I now realize that there were fellow travelers like myself who DID see the game)
That is when I decided to write my book as a road map to the stuff not even Hannity was covering, that i saw, researched, and KNEW was going to come out, eventually.
I knew that when this hit, people would be upset, confused, and PISSED. So I decided to write my book and lay bare the FACTS (the truth) that others either did not see, were willfully blind of, had no idea about.
Citizen “researchers and journalists” like me, Wolf, Wheatie, Daughn, and others too numerous to mention, ARE the news now.

Mitt Romney has had a secret Twitter account under the name ‘Pierre Delecto’.
He has used it to ‘like’ nevertrumper tweets and other vile tweets against Pres Trump.
How do we know this? I am gobsmacked! He is my Senator – yuk – but even this is a new low for him. Beyond pathetic.
He admitted to having a secret Twitter acct on a Sunday news show and literally within hours a internet sleuth figured out the acct name.

Many more stories out there now.
I don’t know what’s worse, Pierre Delecto or Carlos Danger (AKA Anthony Weiner).
Remember Q told us they ALL had secret accounts, communicated by What’s App and Xbox and PS4 chat rooms. They ALL have aliases. These people are STUPID. Romney is in DEEP in the Syria/Iran/Turkey/Russia oil pipeline plan (shipping and distribution) There are embargoes in place to prohibit that kind of thing. THAT is why mittens is so “outraged” over Syria and the Kurds. I would bet GOOD money that Mitt does not even KNOW where the fighting was taking place, who was involved, or how may troops we are talking about!

We had tree-snapping gusts all day today in foothills near Denver, but no destruction like you are showing.
Stay safe 💞💞
That Home Depot is ~1.5 miles from one of my former workplaces. Astounding that it would collapse.
That home is one of the Dallas Cowboys. No one was home fortunately.
Glad you didn’t lose power, Michael.
I read that thousands are without power.
This is why I hate night time tornadoes…first, you can’t see them while they’re happening…and then, you
can’t see the extent of the damage until sunrise.
Prayers for all those who were hit.
😔🙏
Wheatie – Thank you for those pictures from Dallas – they were incredible! Praying for our fellow Americans living there. That has to be so scary!
You’re welcome OW21.
Yes…looks like it was a bad one.
We had some 80 mph winds up here in OK…and a few tornado sightings.
Some damage being reported.
The lightning was really something.
We had a lightning strike hit close to our house…it lit up the sky!
Oh, Wow! Stay safe, y’all. We can’t do without you!
This is quite a powerful weather front – https://www.weather.gov/Radar
It’s going to join with a storm system along the coast and hit us later today.
This is similar to the lightning show we saw earlier.
Wowee!!!!
Absolutely SPECTACULAR! Mittens dressed as Benedict Arnold!
Makes a compelling case for reincarnation
Those who do not study history are doomed to repeat it.
We need a list of people who are willing to give up on Beto.

“Peter Delight”…?
😝🤣
Closely related to Dick. Yep, we’re in perv territory now. Wonder what Mittens is hiding.
It would explain his ferocious attacks on POTUS – FEAR is driving Romney. Likely worried about more than financial/political corruption being exposed… as in dirty stuff.
Seriously, of all the names in the world he could have come up with, he chose that? It’s like Carlos Danger. Mr. clean-cut, religious, perfect family man chose Pierre Delecto. Who even thinks like that?
Gay. He’s gay
Makes you wonder what happened on his 2 year missionary stint…..
[big snort]
HMMM, one wonders in “Peter” has any connections to child trafficking. What’s in YOUR closet Mitt?
Romney even tweeted about…himself…using his Pierre Delecto account.
.
What a dork!
Dork, jackwagon…
I mean really… Romney supports Burr and SSCI. The man is disgusting.
I read about half of SD’s post today on the SSCI hoping for new info on the media/Ali Watkins connection… and finally just gave up. Brevity is not one of his strong suits.
Burr? I agree. Romney of course.
Where do you think he learned that trick?
DJT used to call into radio stations using a fake name and give little speeches about how great Donald Trump was. Mittens just updated it with the latest technology.
But there has to be a reason other than just doing it.
What’s that smell?
A contortionist too. He can kiss his own ass
The name he chose for the ghost account is very revealing.
Know what this means? Burr has been OUTED. Romney not only found the reason to tweet about him, but to GHOST confirm him. That means spidey senses on Burr just went to DEFCON 10.
PLEASE!!! It can’t happen soon enough!
How dare you?!
To which the standard aussie and American response is “hold my beer”
Japan says it will not join a U.S.-led coalition to protect shipping in vital commerce lanes in the Middle East but will send its own vessels to ensure safe delivery of oil to Japan.
Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga on October 18 said Tokyo will still cooperate closely with Washington in efforts to protect oil tankers amid a series of attacks the West and Arab allies have blamed on Iran.
https://is.gd/EbFWVa
Smart move by Abe but I bet he and DJT had already agreed to it over a round of golf.
Ozzy, I was just checking the Spam bin…and you’ve got a comment in there that cracked me up!
😆🤣
It’s the one about the Chili Cookoff.
It is hilarious!
I have no idea why it landed in the Spam bin.
There is nothing wrong with it.
But since it is in T*3’s thread, I am unable to rescue it.
If you would like to repost it here…I could release it from Spam if it happens again.
There are a lot of comments in Spam from yesterday’s daily Open Thread…it wasn’t just you, Ozzy.
The Spam bin was hungry, I guess.
I dissed wp so I think this was its revenge
I’ll try and get it again
Let me know if you post it and it doesn’t show up.
I will go look for it.
Feel free to do that any time one of your comments doesn’t show up.
I hesitate to challenge wp to a death match
ive posted it again and wp has eaten it again. It’s back the front ie read from bottom
I’ll go look for it.
Thank you.
It is as funny af
Found it…in the Spam bin again.
But this time it’s upside down.
😜
Weird. Wp certainly knows how to hold a grudge. I hope you don’t get sucked into this fued
Heheh.
Well, it’s not just you, Ozzy.
The Spam bin sucks in comments from lots of people.

So…Mitt used that account to defend Mitt, under cover.
What a nozzle!
President Trump is going to have fun with this one. 🙂
Besides, of course, reading Q-Tree posts today, this is a must read. It’s a perfect summary of why not only the Dems, Barack Obama are to be despised, AND prosecuted for their crimes against the American people, but it calls out the elitist snobs, and Uniparty. Peggy Noonan embodies the “ruling class” in this country – the class the American People must break up
Peggy Noonan, Maggie Haberman and Jennifer Rubin – now exposed as bitter old leftist tools.
Pres Trump tweeted two other clips from Steve Hilton’s show.
Steve has a new BFF.
James “Mad Dog” Mattis in his “penguin suit” selling out to the establishment… loser!
So glad I’m not OT having to read the commentariat Mattis boot lickers wailing their outrage at the disrespect directed toward their hero from Sparta.
Love this guy – he is brilliant! This is the first time I’ve ever heard him.
Interesting guy – son of Hungarian refugees who fled the revolution in 1956.
Very interesting life and background…. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Hilton
HOWEVER – I disagree with Hilton’s gushing defense of Tulsi Gabbard. She’s not one to admire as far as her leftist open border, etc. policies, defense of Antifa tactics and exploiting her military service for political purposes.
Same with Tucker – he needs to wake the heck up about her!
Be careful about Fox News setup of Tulsi Gabbard as the anti-Hillary centrist…next thing you will see is a Fox News poll of Tulsi leading Trump in a head to head.
Pay attention to your twitter notifications and how many new followers Tulsi is picking up from OUR SIDE.
No danger of that since I do not belong to Twitter.
A wolf in sheep’s clothing…political positions are all over the place. Supports defense against terrorism but silent on border defense. She supports fundamentals of “green new deal.” With no explanation of how such insanity would be paid for. Throw her out and keep her coat.
Here’s the whole show:

Heheh.
Bwahahahahahah … 😂👍 … awesome .. 🤨🤚‼️ ..

I think the Dems were using other countries to funnel money back to themselves.
Like a form of money-laundering…they give US funds to a country, and that country’s leaders funnel it back to the Dems, probably keeping some of it for themselves.
oh absolutely!–look at Puerto Rico–how much money went there and basic services weren’t restored? sure there’s problems, but when everyone in government is corrupt, and they are shoveling a percentage BACK to Dems, what can you expect?
I agree and will go further to add the Soros & Steyers types. You don’t really believe they are using their own money to break down the USA?
Our tax money (or adding to the national debt) is being used against us.
23 House Republicans have yet to back a movement to condemn Adam Schiff for deliberately fabricating a conversation between President Trump and Ukrainian President Zelensky.

And now for something completely different…..
I have a friend IRL (I know, shock…..) who is looking at computers. I noted that desktop workstations were a big thing some years back, and a bunch of ’em went out on corporate leases — but they fell out of style in a big way during their lease terms and that their lease returns were being resold ridiculously cheaply. I put this out there as an example — https://www.ebay.com/itm/Dell-Precision-T7500-Workstation-2x-2-27GHz-Quad-Xeon-E5520-24gb-DVD-RW/312789924190 . (There are plenty out there, don’t bid this one up.)
The most obvious thing wrong with this beast is that it doubles as a space heater. Eight cores and 24G of RAM make it perfect as a docker/flatpack/virtual machine host. It isn’t rack-mountable, so it won’t fit into a big datacenter…..but it can certainly be the core for your home datacenter.
I am not associated with this ebay ad; I would like to have seen it boot off the DVD instead of just pass BIOS, but I’m also the owner of three similar T5500’s. 2013 desktop workstation lease returns have just amazing value opportunities.
wow…I only understood half (okay let’s be honest here…maybe a third) of what you wrote…but dang, it’s gonna be hard for you to move with all that stuff securely…know you’ve got it covered, but gees, glad you’re on our side…
Off-lease refurb is a great way to buy a PC, presuming you know what you are doing and don’t need a company to do tech support for you.
I’ve bought a number through Tiger Direct in the past. They are a good source if you need “working PC” NOW and CHEAP.
eBay is not a bad place to buy refurb, but you do need to keep an eye on the seller rating. Essentially what you want is a company that buys the off-lease equipment from multiple batches, tests and refurbs, and has a lot of good seller ratings. They should give you a limited warrantee to replace equipment that passed tests but still arrives DOA. Reputable resellers almost always have a partner relationship with Microsoft and will provide reseller licenses for Microsoft Windows. Even if you don’t plan on using Windows on the box this is a strong indicator of a reputable reseller.
If you never hear from me again I’m not suicidal. It will have been wp
/ Speaking of hot peppers ….
We had a guy (named Frank) from up north (a Yankee) who came to our great state and unexpectedly ended up being a judge at the annual chili cook off.
He shared his experience here:
“Recently I was honored to be selected as an outstanding famous celebrity in Texas, to be a judge at a Chili cook-off, because no one else wanted to do it
Also the original person called in sick at the last moment, and I happened to be standing there at the judge’s table asking for directions to the beer wagon when the call came. I was assured by the other two judges (Native Texans) that the chili wouldn’t be all that spicy, and besides, they told me that I could have free beer during the tasting. So I accepted.
Here are the scorecards from the event:
3/ CHILI # 1: MIKE’S MANIC MONSTER CHILI
JUDGE ONE: A little to heavy on tomato. Amusing kick.
JUDGE TWO: Nice, smooth tomato flavor. Very mild.
FRANK: Holy Shit, what the hell is this stuff? You could remove dried paint from your driveway with this stuff. I needed two beers to put the flames out. Hope that’s the worst one. Those Texans are crazy.
CHILI # 2: ARTHUR’S AFTERBURNER CHILI
JUDGE ONE: Smokey, with a hint of pork. Slight Jalapeno tang.
JUDGE TWO: Exciting BBQ flavor. Needs more peppers to be taken seriously.
FRANK: Keep this out of reach of children! I’m not sure what I am supposed to taste besides PAIN. I had to wave-off two people who wanted to give me the Heimlich maneuver. They had to walkie-talkie in three extra beers when they saw the look on my face.
CHILI # 3: FRED’S FAMOUS BURN DOWN THE BARN CHILI
JUDGE ONE: Excellent firehouse chili! Great kick. Needs more beans.
JUDGE TWO: A beanless chili. A bit salty. Good use of red peppers.
FRANK: Call the EPA, I’ve located a uranium spill. My nose feels like I have been snorting Drano. Everyone knows the routine by now. Barmaid pounded me on the back; now my backbone is in the front part of my chest. I’m getting shit-faced.
CHILI # 4: BUBBA’S BLACK MAGIC
JUDGE ONE: Black Bean chili with almost no spice. Disappointing.
JUDGE TWO: Hint of lime in the black beans. Good side dish for fish or other mild foods. Not much of a chili.
FRANK: I felt something scraping across my tongue, but was unable to taste it. Sally, the barmaid, was standing behind me with fresh refills; that 300 lb bitch is starting to look HOT, just like this nuclear-waste I’m eating.
CHILI # 5: LINDA’S LEGAL LIP REMOVER
JUDGE ONE: Meaty, strong chili. Cayenne peppers freshly ground, adding considerable kick. Very impressive.
JUDGE TWO: Chili using shredded beef; could use more tomato. Must admit the cayenne peppers make a strong statement.
6/ FRANK: My ears are ringing, and I can no linger focus my eyes. I farted and four people behind me needed paramedics. The contestant seemed offended when I told her that her chili had given me brain damage. Sally saved my tongue from bleeding by pouring beer directly from a pitcher onto it. It really pisses me off that the other judges asked me to stop screaming. Freakin’ Rednecks! !
Bwahaha 😂
Ozzy, Absolutely a gut busting post. Thanks for the laughs throughout.
OH MY GOODNESS!!!!!
spit coffee all over my keyboard…this was hilarious!!!!
copied and borrowed to send to all my rowdy friends…LMAO
THANKS!!!!!
Ahhhhhhhhhh bwahahahahahah … 😂👍‼️‼️‼️❤️ … this is hilarious … it’s a barn burner
TY OZ … love it 😊🤚‼️❤️
This is why I love Texas 🙂
[Note from wheatie: Start at the bottom to read this.]
……………………………………………………………………………………………..
11/ CHILI # 8: HELEN’S MOUNT SAINT CHILI
JUDGE ONE: A perfect ending. This is a nice blend chili, safe for all; not too bold, but spicy enough to declare its existence.
JUDGE TWO: This final entry isa good balanced chili, neither mild now hot. Sorry to see that most of it was lost when Judge # 3 passed out, fell and pulled the chili pot on top of himself. Not sure if he’s going to make it. Poor Yank.
FRANK: – – – – – Mama?- – – (Editor’s Note: Judge # 3 was unable to report).

THE MIAMI HERALD
NEED A LIGHT?
|
By DAVE BARRY
TODAY’S CULINARY TOPIC IS: How to Light a Charcoal Fire
Everybody loves a backyard barbecue. For some reason, food just seems to taste better when it has been cooked outdoors, where flies can lay eggs on it.
But there’s nothing worse — and I include the Great Depression in that statement — than trying to set fire to a pile of balky charcoal.
(For those of you who actually went through the Great Depression and are offended by the previous sentence, let me state, in all sincerity, that “Balky Charcoal” would be a good name for a rock band.)
The average backyard chef, wishing to cook hamburgers, tries to ignite the charcoal via the Squirt, Light and Wait method, wherein you squirt lighter fluid on a pile of briquettes, light the pile, then wait until they have turned a uniform gray color. When I say “they have turned a uniform gray color, ” I am referring to the hamburgers. The briquettes will remain as cold and lifeless as Leonard Nimoy. The backyard chef will keep this up — squirting, lighting, waiting; squirting, lighting, waiting — until the bacterial level in the side dishes has reached the point where the potato salad rises up from its bowl, Blob-like, and attempts to mate with the corn. This is the signal that it’s time to order Chinese food.
The problem is that modern charcoal, manufactured under strict consumer-safety guidelines, is one of the least-flammable substances on Earth. On more than one occasion, quick-thinking individuals have extinguished a raging house fire by throwing charcoal on it. Your backyard chef would be just as successful trying to ignite a pile of rocks.
Is there a solution? Yes. There happens to be a technique that is guaranteed to get your charcoal burning very, very quickly, although you should not attempt this technique unless you meet all of the following criteria:
1. You are a complete idiot.
I found out about this technique from alert reader George Rasko, who sent me a letter describing something he came across on the World Wide Web, an exciting new computer network that you should definitely learn more about, because as you read these words your 11-year-old is downloading pornography from it.
By hooking into the World Wide Web, you can look at a wide variety of electronic “pages, ” consisting of documents, pictures and video created by people all over the world. One of these is a guy named (really) George Goble, a computer person in the Purdue University engineering department. Each year, Goble and a bunch of other engineers hold a picnic in West Lafayette, Ind., at which they cook hamburgers on a big grill. Being engineers, they began looking for practical ways to speed up the charcoal- lighting process.
“We started by blowing the charcoal with a hair dryer, ” Goble told me in a telephone interview. “Then we figured out that it would light faster if we used a vacuum cleaner.”
If you know anything about (1) engineers, and (2) guys in general, you know what happened: The purpose of the charcoal- lighting shifted from cooking hamburgers to seeing how fast they could light the charcoal.
From the vacuum cleaner, they escalated to using a propane torch, then an acetylene torch. Then Goble started using compressed pure oxygen, which caused the charcoal to burn much faster, because as you recall from chemistry class, fire is essentially the rapid combination of oxygen with the cosine to form the Tigris and Euphrates rivers (or something along those lines).
By this point Goble was getting pretty good times. But in the world of competitive charcoal-lighting, “pretty good” does not cut the mustard. Thus Goble hit upon the idea of using — get ready — liquid oxygen. This is the form of oxygen used in rocket engines; it’s 295 degrees below zero and 600 times as dense as regular oxygen. In terms of releasing energy, pouring liquid oxygen on charcoal is the equivalent of throwing a live squirrel into a room containing 50 million Labrador retrievers. On Goble’s World Wide Web page (the address is http:// ghg.ecn.purdue.edu/) you can see actual photographs and a video of Goble using a bucket attached to a 10-foot long wooden handle to dump three gallons of liquid oxygen (Not Sold In Stores) onto a grill containing 60 pounds of charcoal and a lit cigarette for ignition. What follows is the most impressive charcoal-lighting I have ever seen, featuring a large fireball that, according to Goble, reached 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit. The charcoal was ready for cooking in — this has to be a world record — three seconds.
There’s also a photo of what happened when Goble used the same technique on a flimsy little $2.88 discount-store grill. All that’s left is a circle of charcoal with a few shreds of metal in it.
“Basically, the grill vaporized, ” said Goble. “We were thinking of returning it to the store for a refund.”
Looking at Goble’s video and photos, I became, as an American, all choked up with gratitude at the fact that I do not live anywhere near the engineers’ picnic site. But also I was proud of my country, for producing guys who can be ready to barbecue in less time than it takes for guys in less-advanced nations, such as France, to spit.
Will the three-second barrier ever be broken? Will engineers come up with a new, more-powerful charcoal-lighting technology? It’s something for all of us to ponder this summer as we sit outside, chewing our hamburgers, every now and then glancing in the direction of West Lafayette, Ind., looking for a mushroom cloud.
Haaaaa. 😄🤣
Thanks for a good early morning laugh! A merry heart is good, like medicine! Says the Bible.
I melted my uncle’s BBQ unit without any exotic substances……by just piling fuel in it.
There’s too many sciencey types on this site. Someone’s gonna take up the challenge
Dave Barry also had a column (or a series, IIRC) about the MIR spacecraft as its orbit (and itself) degenerated and eventually disintegrated as it fell to Earth… hilarious…
Aaaaaannnnnd, here’s the vid. George Gobel is also an inventor, having created a number of refrigerants as substitutes for the venerable R12 and R134a, but the PTB have an agenda and they’re not about to let go… clever guy, indeed:
And a little bit of info from the vid post (which pegged Purdue’s network – yep, I helped there 🙂 )…

This is the way geeks light their cookout fires.
A bit of history about this video:
This video was featured in a Dave Barry article in the mid ’90s, and was arguably one of the first wide-spread URLs. Due to this sudden influx of interest, Purdue’s networks experienced one of the first “Slashdot Effects” ever, driving it’s only T1 line at max capacity for AN ENTIRE WEEK!

I did a colonoscopy without anesthesia. I have a major phobia about being punctured, so I endured the considerable unpleasantness while merely being sleep-deprived. It isn’t as bad as a dental crown prep, though it takes considerably longer. And, yes, the prep was considerably worse than the procedure.
Colonoscopy?
Never have had one.
They’d have to catch me first.
And I am a pretty good runner.
I went through the benefits and risks and determined it was worth doing eight years ago. It’ll be worth doing two years from now. But it’s not fun.
There’s a little camera that can be swallowed, which films as it goes through the digestive tract.
It’s about the size of a gumball.
Seems like a much better way to go.
I had five little bits snipped-off during the process (none of which were bad). Swallowed capsules can’t snip.
Incidentally — and the Fiancee doesn’t even know this — I need to have surgery soon to repair an umbilical hernia. This is going to be interesting with my phobia about being punctured……
Maybe they could go oldschool and put you under with chloroform?
Then once you’re knocked out, they could give you the intravenous anesthetics.
Surgery without anesthetics would be brutal, Coothie.
🥺😫
4×2?
Always worked with Mr. T. (on the A-Team) 🙂
Was that the 2×4 he used to keep from falling in?
Once you’re under the anesthesia, anything can happen. Mistakes can be made.
You can’t run away forever. But there’s nothing wrong with getting a good head start
My grandmother died of colon cancer.
I am imploring you and all here, please have a colonoscopy!
It is literally the diagnosis, treatment, and cure for most if not all cases of one of the top cancer killers in the US.
I had my first one at 47, and will have another in a couple of years. They are really not that bad.
To me the worst part was the prep the night before. That laxative they tell you to use is some powerful stuff. I found a nickel I’d swallowed 50 years ago.
There’s an HMO that studied the research and decided for most people a simple stool test for occult blood is just as effective and a whole lot less risky than a colonoscopy. One test annually done at home and mailed in.
Had one with anesthesia 16 years ago – doc had great fun showing me pics of my hemorrhoids! Now a neat little wipe & mail kit is available for basic testing and the drinking nasty stuff and fasting is no longer required. No doubt those at high risk would have to go the old-style route.
But that won’t remove polyps that can become cancerous.
I had a good friend who died at 50 years of age. It was a very nasty death with a lot of suffering on his part.
It truly is a terrible way to go, from what I hear.
“The Grass Is Always Greener Over The Septic Tank”… 🙂
Irma Bombeck was great…
I agree…she had a great way looking at ordinary life that would make me laugh over and over again!!
Note to Frank…a little late…KEEP YOUR FINGERS AWAY FROM YOUR EYES WHILE TASTING.
And your nose… even to stifle a sneeze…
(if “digging”, you won’t strike gold, but you’ll strike fire)…
Oldie but a goodie….

You can’t make the poor rich by taxing the rich

“It was about getting rid of the ruling class. French people don’t like the rich — unless they are soccer players.”
Would be funny, if not so true!
Brings to mind a segment of our culture and the NBA. We now have politically correct manners of wealth acquisition!
I haven’t watched or followed the NBA since their strike in 1998. Peterbuilt Trucks were on strike at the same time as the NBA (who were locked out after a while). There was a brilliant article in Sports Illustrated (back when it was halfway decent). The article is a wonderful study in contrast of the Sport elites, and the “rest of us” who get to pay for their excesses. Here’s an exceprt (I would have liked to cite the whole article, but this is about as much as I think “fair use” will endure)…
JUST TRYING TO MAKE AN INDECENT WAGE
https://www.si.com/vault/1998/11/09/251731/just-trying-to-make-an-indecent-wage
(from Sports Illustrated NOVEMBER 09, 1998 issue)
BY RICK REILLY
In Madison, Tenn., where 1,200 Peterbilt truck workers have been
walking the picket lines for six months, they love the NBA labor
dispute. It gives them something to finally laugh about.
They hear New York Knicks center Patrick Ewing walk up to the
microphones and say, with a straight face, “We’re fighting for
our livelihood. We can’t survive if we sign this contract,” and
it breaks them up. Last season Ewing made about $100,000 per
basket. When he still had a job, the average Peterbilt guy
didn’t make that much in two years.
They see where Boston Celtics guard Kenny Anderson whines that
if things get any worse, he may have to sell one of his eight
cars, and it tickles the workers’ ribs. As the Peterbilt strike
turned lockout continues, ribs are something the picketers are
seeing a lot more of lately.
. . .
Anderson let The New York Times get a look at his money woes
last week. He was supposed to make $5.8 million this season,
which works out to about a measly $3 million after taxes. But,
hey, he’s got expenses, don’t forget, including $75,000 a year
just to insure his fleet of Porsches, Range Rovers and Mercedes,
and $150,000 yearly rent on his Beverly Hills crib (pool, tennis
and basketball courts, four-car garage). Plus he helps support
four children he has had by three women, including his wife, and
he’s got to have his $120,000 “hangin’ around money,” as he
calls it. That leaves him with only $2 million a year to invest.
“I have to start getting tight,” Anderson said.
You’ll forgive Larry Haynes if he doesn’t throw Anderson a
telethon. Haynes is a truck-cab assembler who’s getting $405 a
week in strike insurance and unemployment. Oh, he doesn’t have
Anderson’s car-insurance problems, mostly because he has pawned
two vehicles to pay his $500-a-month rent. He has a wife and two
small kids, and he has already gone through his savings. Not
that he doesn’t have “hangin’ around money.” He allows $40 every
two months so the family can have a big night out. “Like, we
might go eat at Applebee’s,” he says.
C’mon, Larry, you have to start getting tight.
“I hear the NBA players talking about struggling and barely
surviving,” Haynes says. “Man, they don’t know what real life is.”
. . .
Try being united every morning down at the little union hall in
Madison, where men try to hold their heads high without three
bucks in their wallets and women try to hang on to hope wearing
the same dress for two weeks straight.
There are two major labor disputes in America right now. One of
them is a joke.
.
———- From the article:
Turns out Target’s cave to the left’s “$15 Dollar Minimum Wage” mob has backfired spectacularly, leaving workers more broke than ever, and some are now losing out on insurance as a result and can’t pay bills, or buy food.
The employees say they’re suffering because Target has cut their hours as a result of the “wage increase.”
Gee, ya don’t say.
Slews of employees say the wage increase has made it near impossible for them to pay their bills or get health insurance.
“I got that dollar raise but I’m getting $200 less in my paycheck,” said Target employee Heather, who went from “full time” to 20 hours a week. “I have no idea how I’m going to pay rent or buy food.”
——————–
This illustrates yet again, that liberal ideas never work.

Thank You, Jesus, for blessings received and prayers answered!
Monday Blessings
Jesus Loves Babies…Pray for the Unborn
Jesus Loves the Little Children – Pray for the Little Children
Jesus Loves You – Come to Him
Morning Duchess…I trust you are well…didn’t you just love the Bakocarl tribute to you? it was fantastic!!!
just having coffee now…want some?
Sure do – Thanks! – Mine is always cold about this time – LOL
BFLY and I were concerned about your absence over the weekend – we hoped and prayed all was well with you!
Have a Blessed Day! God Bless You!
I was SHOCKED – I tell you – SHOCKED!!! and humbled – what LOVE there is here!!!
I had a doc appt and we had a family visit. I usually don’t like to broadcast when we’re not going to be home since we live in a remote spot and I’m paranoid…lol…
but thanks for your (and BFLY’s) concern. we had a hayride–made granddaughter a Dorothy costume, mom was a scarecrow, Dad was the yellow brick road–inspired costume–and grandpa and I were Mr & Mrs Tinman…LOl…great time, but exhausting weekend!
Sounds wonderful, pat! No broadcasting here – just concern – and prayer – glad you had a great outing with family – sounds like everyone had some fall fun!
I cannot imagine an outing without your fabulous sense of humor – LOL
we did have fun…but gees, we are getting old…the younger crowd partied outside next to the campfires for hours–while the older crowd took it inside for coffee and desserts…LOL…but Dorothy had a blast–playing games and decorating pumpkins…then playing hide and seek in the dark…
Unbelievable, pat! Looks like everyone eventually gravitated to where they felt most comfortable – I bet ‘Dorothy’ will never forget this special outing – and how the whole family participated to make it a memorable one!
Just warms my heart, pat! Thanks for sharing!!!
it was such fun…she will get a lot of use out of her costume–there is trick or treating on Main St where they live and several costume parties between now and Halloween with her friends and my daughter’s friends as well. (But truth be told–it was the ruby red slippers she fell in love with! it’s all about the shoes with her…LOL)
Hahahaha! Ruby Red Slippers! Who knew? We did!
And…isn’t it odd – we are all looking for the shoes our First Lady wears with her fabulous outfits, too! Guess we are just ‘suckers for shoes’!
we bought them on line–they have a small to decent heel–that was all it took…
she told me (in confidence) that they will probably go with her Christmas outfit) so she will get plenty of wear out of them…LOL
Practical little lady, she is, pat! Oh, what a joy!
I actually think she will choose an outfit TO match the shoes, so she can wear them again…LOL…we stayed in her room over the weekend–she has 3 times the shoes I do!
You are probably right about that – a shoe aficionado – now – that is funny!!!
Ah…but these shoes come with memories – and are definitely special – 🙂
Jesus!
Show me the money!
One of my favorite verses: just, merciful and humble . . . if only those characteristics permeated society!

We never hear the Dems even mention pedophilia as being something wrong.

The talk is given by Mirjam Heine, a medical student. Interesting, too, is the verse quoted by the poster of the video:

Why our perception of pedophilia has to change
(end excerpt)
THIS is what the elite are forcing upon us. Cannibalism has also be so “justified”…
disgusting…we have to protect the most vulnerable among us…
Oops, here’s the rest of the abstract of her talk. Abstract, indeed. Pervstract more likely…
VERY DANGEROUS career path, in my view. From psych major to medical doctor, then going with the elitist (dare I say, GAIAN?) dogma of our perversions/desires are INBORN AND CANNOT BE CHANGED.
Horsefeathers…
Brave new world, indeed…
Hmmm. TEDx made a bad translation (or, should I say, sanitized).
“Kein Täter Werden” means “don’t become a ‘criminal actor’ . In other words, don’t be a perv. Täter implies an action, activity. “Don’t offend” is WAYYY to passive as a translation…
What a bunch of self-serving, self-justifying mindless perverse psychobabble…
The optimum solution for this abomination is to just take them off the board.
UTTERLY DESPICABLE!!!
The whole notion of ‘orientations’ ‘genders’ ‘sexual identities’ is concocted hypothetical constructs to defend and propagandize perversion.
The development of one’s identity and personality is conditioned, just like all other behaviors and emotions are conditioned throughout life, but especially in early childhood through adolescence.
I hate, Hate, HATE all of this garbage.
These monsters are creating and using faux science to defend their evil lusts.
From the VigilantCitizen article I noted above ( https://vigilantcitizen.com/latestnews/this-tedx-talk-attempts-to-normalize-pedophilia ):
We need to get MUCH more vocal about this, and fight it fiercely. Along with the creeping cannibalism craziness,,,

It always astounds me how the MSM Democrats want POTUS’ tax returns from years long before he was in politics but have no interest at all about Obama’s passports, travel to banned nations, his college applications, his name change, etc. NONE. Guess they are afraid of what they would find.
And, the thing is….no one pins them down for an answer.

Yeah, no. I knew about the rumors that JPI was poisoned. Word was he wanted to clean up the Vatican Bank.
Again, it’s the career guys at the Vatican who are largely the problem.
This bothers the hell out of me too!

Yes, but Wesley Clark is a toady for the Clintons.
He is a socialist and believes in wealth redistribution.
And he sure got quiet when the Dems were the ones doing the warmongering in the Mideast.
At this point, I’m holding fire on who’s backing who. I’m getting the increasing feeling it’s really every man for himself.
Can’t stand the guy but on this one, he is correct. Not that he doesn’t have ulterior motives, mind you!
This is ridiculous. Stunning that feminists refuse to see it.
yeah, are they THAT stupid? do they even realize how they are minimizing what it means to be a woman???
Some people will follow any fool fad that’s out there. I really do hope more women athletes speak out against this practice – and I have a problem with the extreme athletics like this. It really is not fair for a biological male to “compete” with women. It simply is not.
agreed–that’s why there ARE separate divisions for men and women.
Give the ‘Trans’ their own sports category. Make them compete against each other.
Only equitable solution, IMO. This cannot stand!
Call them Transgenders. Make them assume a Transg. identity and not allow them to be called she, her, women.
Give them their own Division in the Olympics and all other national/world competitions. No more cheating real women out of their hard earned prizes and identities.
Call them what they are: mentally ill!
It’s an identity development disorder – a DISorientation.
Having their own Trans category would expose just how popular they really are…or are not…EMPTY SEATS.
Heheheh – yup!!!
Wow! Someone really did this!

Grace-Filled Speech
OCTOBER 21, 2019
Titus 2:7-8 in all things show yourself to be an example of good deeds, with purity in doctrine, dignified 8 sound in speech which is beyond reproach, so that the opponent will be put to shame, having nothing bad to say about us.
Words are powerful. Harsh remarks can cause a destructive chain reaction, like a match in the forest during a drought. Kind comments, on the other hand, feel like a light summer rain that brings relief from the heat of day.
We can know our words are refreshing and seasoned with grace when …
Our tone and manner reflect the way we want others to speak to us. The behavior of others shouldn’t determine whether we speak kindly to them. If we want people to talk to us gently, we should consistently present positive body language and speak with a gentle voice.
What we say about others is similar to what we would want said of us. We all need to have our strengths emphasized by friends and family so we can be confident of the gifts God has given us.
We speak only words we know to be true. Gossip and lies have no place in a Christian’s conversation. The Lord opposes lying tongues and false witnesses (Prov. 6:16-19 There are six things which the LORD hates, Yes, seven which are an abomination to Him:
17 Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, And hands that shed innocent blood,
18 A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that run rapidly to evil,
19 A false witness who utters lies, And one who spreads strife among brothers.
Our speech is edifying. Speaking fairly and positively about others is part of godly speech.
Transforming our conversation begins with the right heart attitude. When we spend time in the Word of God, our hearts will soften and we’ll begin to respond differently. The Holy Spirit will convict us when our speech is inappropriate. He’ll also teach us to be aware of which words we use and when to stop talking. God will be glorified and others will be blessed when we practice grace-filled speech.

In all the Democrap hub-bub and blubbering, we missed the First Lady’s Home Improvement Project.
IMO – much-needed – will upgrade the White House grounds/facilities greatly!!!
AND – we missed this gorgeous Jason Wu dress!
https://www.instagram.com/p/B3Y_YJmgJWi/
she is just lovely and graceful…in everything she chooses!!
Who else but First Lady Melania could look so lovely in a plain gray knit cap-sleeve sweater dress?
https://www.instagram.com/p/B3em_woA47J/
understated…but the shoes!
she draws attention even when wearing the simplest dresses—
thanks for sharing!!!
Snakeskin shoes for a discussion of the dangers and evils of vaping and addictions….
brings to mind the Bible verse, “You shall tread on serpents…” Luke 10:19 and Psalm 91:3 and the images of Mary treading on serpents.
Melania is also intentional about the symbolism of her clothing and shoes. I predict her fashion designs and choices will be the subject of books and analysis looking at the underlying messages.
Pink snakeskin shoes and coordinating lipstick and blush!!!
Of course, she was a very professional talented model.
With Melania Trump, there is never a facial expression, word, step or hand gesture is unintentional, inappropriate, uncontrolled, out of place.
Our First Lady relates to people from her heart, with true love and good will – despite the spite, hate, nastiness of the leftists!
I love to watch our First Couple with babies, children, wounded warriors – their love and compassion is real and heart-felt.
Correction – leaving out words again.
“With Melania Trump, there is never a facial expression, word, step or hand gesture *that* is unintentional, inappropriate, uncontrolled, out of place.”
First Lady Hosts Listening Session with Students from the Truth Initiative
Do the Taxpayers really need a new tennis pavilion on WH grounds?
Did we need the old one?
When was the last time it was used, and who uses it?
Barron uses it.
Rest and exercise are actually anti-oxidants and life preservatives. I know this because of my daughter’s disease and its mechanism is an oxidative degenerative process….and so is aging!
Trump isn’t a tennis player, but a golfer….he PAID for a new golf simulator in the WH basement. Melania got the WH bowling alley modernized and remodeled. There’s a budget for it. As confined as first families are, at times, access to sports on site is important.
“Barron uses it. ”

Who is he playing with, and how much does that cost?

“Rest and exercise are actually anti-oxidants and life preservatives.”
______________
Is a multi-million dollar tennis court the best or even remotely most efficient way to achieve these objectives?
.
“Trump isn’t a tennis player, but a golfer….he PAID for a new golf simulator in the WH basement.”
_____________
If he paid for it (and the upkeep), no problem.
.
“Melania got the WH bowling alley modernized and remodeled.”
______________
I hear she comes from a long line of bowlers…
I wonder how many taxpayer dollars that cost. Almost certainly much more than all the taxes most people pay over a lifetime of work.
It would be nice if the fruits of our labor, confiscated against our will, was used for something more important than remodeling a bowling alley for the most powerful people in the world (regardless of who occupies the WH).
.
“There’s a budget for it.”
_______________
It’s easy to ‘create a budget’ for just about anything, if there is a fire hydrant of taxpayer money flooding your premises.
The question is, WHY is there a budget for that.
.
“As confined as first families are, at times, access to sports on site is important.”
_______________
Should we build a baseball diamond, a basketball court, a roller skate rink and a football field too?
Where does it end… and who decides?
Here’s an idea.
Get Barron a heavy (punching) bag.
It’s cheap, it takes up almost no space, requires no maintenance, it’s GREAT exercise, and he will learn something useful.
Please stop a minute….and consider that these are improvements that increase the beauty and functionality of the property. These improvements are paid for by private donations to the WH museum org. They get to put their names on it for posterity, just like the wall bricks, plaques, etc. I’m all for it.
“Please stop a minute….and consider that these are improvements that increase the beauty and functionality of the property.”
______________
No doubt. Improvements always do.
But at what cost?
.
“These improvements are paid for by private donations to the WH museum org.”
_______________
And which Hussein holdover is running that scheme and graft machine?
Is that pay for play?
Is anything really “free” in this world, without strings attached?
Pardon me if I’m just the tinniest but jaded.
.
“They get to put their names on it for posterity, just like the wall bricks, plaques, etc.”
______________
Sorry, I have zero trust that any situation involving our government and ‘charitable’ or ‘private’ donations is above board.
That trust is just gone.
It’s so far gone, I can’t even remember what it looked like.
“Pardon me if I’m just the tinniest but jaded.”
______________
Or ‘tiniest bit’ jaded.
Probably ‘tiniest bit’ jaded works better in that context…
Besides being an office and residence of the head of our country, a security bunker, it’s also an historical museum.
And there’s a library too:
library@whha.org
https://whitehousehistory.org/
http://www.whitehousemuseum.org/
https://whitehousemuseum.wordpress.com
You don’t have to approve or trust in the museum society. It’s still a free speech/opinion country! :8->
“Who is he [Barron] playing with, and how much does that cost?”
I don’t know whether Barron uses it, but if he does, what does it matter whom he plays with — a schoolmate, his many family members, etc.?
We never see Barron because the second he appears in public, the media pounces and the Leftist plebeians make every cruel and speculative comment imaginable. If he can make use of a tennis court at the WH, I think that’s great.
The First Family can’t go anywhere without extreme security at great cost to us. I imagine a tennis court on site, that many people can use, pales in comparison, cost-wise.
Barron is athletic, according to Secret Service people I talked to at the White House. He made good use of a soccer goal and they said that he has “a big kick”. Young people get big benefits from exercise, and older people would too if they would step away from the keyboard more often.
“I don’t know whether Barron uses it, but if he does, what does it matter whom he plays with — a schoolmate, his many family members, etc.?”
______________
I have just observed that it’s very hard to play tennis by oneself, unless you’re really fast and good at jumping hurdles.
As for why it matters who he plays with, it matters if taxpayers are paying for a tennis pro to facilitate young Barron’s tennis lessons.
I sometimes wonder if people forget that ours is not a monarchy where we gush over and ogle our leaders and their family like royalty.
It’s the Peoples’ House, and it’s the Peoples’ money who keeps it running, and it would be nice if it wasn’t run it in a way that makes it indistinguishable from all the waste and largess typical of a monarch.
Yes, I know it’s peanuts compared to the national deficit (and debt), and people can ‘poo-poo’ it all they want, but it’s a matter of principle.
And the leader of the country sets the example.
And yes, I know he sets an example by donating his salary (which apparently he has limited choice over where it can be donated).
That’s great.
It’s also a separate issue.
It’s not the money, it’s the principle(s) involved.
If you uphold principle(s), the money issues take care of themselves.
If you don’t uphold principle(s), then you end up with the biggest, most bloated and wasteful government in the history of the world.
Which is exactly what we have.
How did a tennis pro get inserted into this story? Do you really think the Trumps would give Barron tennis lessons on our dime?
Nobody — and I mean nobody — is gushing over the inhabitants of the WH as if they were monarchy. That is completely out of the realm of patriot thought and is the antithesis of what it means to be an American.
“It’s peanuts compared to the national debt” — which is exactly not the comparison I was making. Which was the cost of security when the First Family (and others) go places.
Some people have complained about the cost of clothing for politicians and dignitaries over the years (which is at their own expense anyway). I think, if you’re going to be performing on the world stage, you should look and act the part and you should represent our country well. And the people’s house should also be in shipshape condition. Who knows what conversations and negotiations can be held during leisure activities like tennis, bowling, movies, etc.? We already know that a lot happens during golf games.
There is no principle at stake here.
It’s both their home and their prison. The expense and logistics of going out to play as well as the risks more than justify the expense of revamping facilities. Remember if Potus has an Achilles heel it’s his love for his family. Don’t for a moment think the deep state wouldn’t kill/harm Barron or one of the grandkids to derail potus
First Ladies are given the responsibility and privilege of updating facilities in the WH budget. There are private donors who love to give to do this, so much of it is part of the WH historical society action. I think they have lots of donors like any other museum.
The pic of what WAS there was disgusting.
New pavillion is much better.
I’m holding out for the BALLROOM, however, cuz it would be majestic with Trump in charge!!
And a vast improvement for state dinners once the Trumps are no longer living there. As of now, they can always just use one of their own properties if a larger, more comfortable venue is needed.
I still want a dunk tank for the presstitutes…
Yeah, you could go soak your head in it.
It’s there, it’s dated and tired looking. This is The People House and needs to be kept up to date, just as most of us try to do with our homes. With all the money spent, this is a mere drop in the bucket and personally have no problem with it. And, knowing POTUS, I’m sure he got a great deal…perhaps even free.
“Censure (at least) Corrupt Adam Schiff! After what he got caught doing, any pol who does not so vote cannot be honest….”

That’s like saying any member of Al Capone’s gang who doesn’t turn him in cannot be honest.
It overlooks the obvious, i.e., they wouldn’t be in Capone’s gang in the first place, if they were honest…
The story is getting picked up everywhere now…and hashtag #PierreDelecto is trending on twitter.
The Father and Daughter Huckabees have a genius for extemporaneous speaking and truth-telling.
Unbelievable – why in the world would he do this? He is already vocal enough in his opinions – anybody check out that Twitter account? What does he post there he does not say in public?
He defends Mitt Romney, as though he is not Mitt Romney…and upvotes the ‘likes’ on vile anti-Trump tweets.
He uses that fake acct to do undercover stuff that he doesn’t want to do under his real name.
Oh, I see – Good Points, Wheatie! That is definitely devious – unfortunately, for him, they discovered his deception –
More and more each day – we are discovering why he would have been no better than the one with whom we got stuck! When his Ukrainian connection is revealed – he is finished – may be in a cell next to Biden – these people are evil!
Amazing Polly turned up some possible connections to child trafficking, too.
😬
Romney is a snake.
Yes, she did – I wondered if I heard her quite right – however – I remember the cruelty with which he treated employees of businesses he acquired, too – so none of this should surprise us. These people are sick!

Why we pray daily for the children, Rod – we cannot imagine what these little ones are experiencing – hurts my heart!!!

“Brennanskie, at Zero’s orders, was the mastermind behind the coup.”

“at Zero’s orders” is the critical point.
95% of the population couldn’t tell you who John Brennan is, even if their life depended on it.

They all need to go down, for life or the electric chair.
But Zero has to be the primary target.
And whoever is above him.
Oh my goodness. maybe others know this but the number of people being pulled is so little its ridiculous.
‘Very small number’ of troops pulled from Syria-Turkey border: US officia The pullback only concerns “two very small detachments” — meaning less than 25 people in total — that have been moved a “very short distance,” the official says” https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/very-small-number-of-troops-pulled-from-syria-turkey-border-us-official/
I’m not sure we can trust every report that is coming out right now.
Some of it could be disinformation.😉😎
Reason I found this was that apparently Trump said this in a speech. Someone on FB commented that it was a small amount. When I asked how they knew, they said Trump said it.
Here is her quote
Trump said it at the impromptu interview the other day. There are only 28 men that are being brought home and that is the last of them. 28 men aren’t going to make or break a country.”
“…that is the last of them”
He didnt say how many had already been moved out.
😉
Still does not give Nancy and her friends right to violate the Logan act and disrespect America’s wishes.
Right…it absolutely does not.
And…he would never reveal the number that was originally there – plus we are talking about a small area by comparison to the number of troops that might have been engaged in other parts of Syria – PT will never reveal anything about deployments, timing, and or number of troops moving in or out – as
‘that other guy’ frequently did so his ‘buddies’ could move away from the area – or increase their numbers.
Notice, too, we did not know the military was out of bullets until (3) years after they were replenished.
Demonrats want our brave soldiers to die and be seriously injured guarding the Syrian/Turkey border, but they could care less about the Mexico/U.S. border.
Let the Russians do the Kurds’ dirty work. We’ve been there long enough.

I saw a tweet earlier, about how the ChiComs are now blocking all food shipments into Hong Kong.
They are so desperate to squelch the protesters, that they are now resorting to hardline tactics.

These people put Mengele to shame.
Pick any monster in the history of the world… who eclipses the Chinese Communist Party?
If there are any, it ain’t many.
“A recently discovered order from the communist Chinese government hints that the mainland is beginning to tighten the noose around the city of Hong Kong, and the implications aren’t good.
According to the South China Morning Post, Chinese customs officials have put a ban on certain goods being shipped into Hong Kong from China.
The list of restricted goods appears to be a response to the protests rocking the city, with a July notice from the courier company PHXBUY noting that China has banned shipping companies from delivering “yellow helmets, yellow umbrellas, flags, flagpoles, poster banners, gloves, masks, black T-shirts, me tal rods, fluorescent tubes, bludgeon clubs.”
An additional list posted last month prevents more goods from entering Hong Kong, including drones, binoculars and certain foodstuffs.”

When I was in Hong Kong a few years ago, I was told mainland China controls the water supply to Hong Kong. I’m amazed that hasn’t been cut off.
Ungrateful curs.

They expect us to stay there forever and protect them?
That just shows that we’ve been there too long.
When you help people for too long…they come to expect it…like they are entitled to it.
Like it’s ‘our job’ to be there protecting them.
Carter, the Bushes and Clintons got us into the mess with the fake oil shortage propaganda. Remember the gas lines during the Carter admin?
Spit.
Old Jimmy’s last speech was a defense of Islam and his last public utterances were lies about Trump….just like Bush II, McCain, Romney and Hillrotten.
I wonder is USAid provided those tomatoes to the hungry Kurds…

And this lunatic is a pediatrician!!!!
“Seven-year-old James is caught between his feuding parents. His mother, a pediatrician named Anne Georgulas, wants her son to be her daughter. She has gone so far as to enroll him in school as “Luna” and only provides him with dresses and girls clothing. School officials know that he is a biological boy, but his classmates do not.
James has a twin brother that is not being forced to wear dresses or masquerade as a girl. James lives as a girl when with his mother, but when with his father and given the choice, the little boy lives as a boy. James’ father, Jeffrey Younger, says that James is ‘all boy’ and is only trying to please his mother.
A court battle between the parents is taking place this week in Dallas, Texas, where the mother is asking the court to to limit the boys’ overnight stays with their father, force the Christian man to refer to James as “Luna,” require Jeffrey to take a class on transgenderism, and compel him to complete two years of counseling.”

*wheatie’s eye begins to twitch*
Somebody is a Luna(tic) and it’s not the little boy. It’s the ‘mother’.
That woman has man-hate issues!!!
She wants a girl and picked that one. Its enough of this bs. The woman is abusing the child, as all who are doing this for attention and their misfiring neurons. I hope the judge stops this.
She’s abominable and wicked … God is NOT mocked ..

Yet, SD does PROVE that James Wolfe sent the classified FISA warrant to ALi Watkins of Buzzfeed, who is now employed by………. NYTimes.

Makes me so sick I voted for him…
Knew he was a POS when he back down the last debate.
Hey, I donated to Romney, I’m the bigger fool.
You didn’t know about his alter ego Pierre when you did
We did, as well…a lot. 🤬
He’s been out seeing Lydia, erm, Libya 🙂
Oh Libya, oh Libya, say have you met Libya?
Libya, the Wartorn nation
She has gold that folks adore so
And of course some bombs much more so
Libya, oh Libya, that encyclopydia
Oh Libya the Queen’s been tattoed
On her back is the Battle of Waterloo
Beside it the wreck of the Hesperus, too
And proudly above waves the red, black and green,
You should learn a lot from Libya
Since her tyrant’s hurled, she will let through the world
If you step up and tell her where
For a dime they can see Kankakee or Paris
Then Washington D.C via Delaware
Oh Libya oh Libya, say have you met Libya?
Oh Libya the Wartorn nation
When her Moslems get to sprintin’
From lands afar comes HellBEAST Clinton.
Libya oh Libya, that encyclopydia
Oh Libya the queen of them all
With Brennan’s clowns, hey they’re on the jazz

You should have learned from Libya

We need a ‘vomit’ emoticon, lol!
Here ya go…🤮
There are some great animated emoticons that have been in use for YEARS on the Steve Hoffman music forum.
One is titled “hurl”. It shows a yellow smiley face whose cheeks get bigger and bigger, then he turns sideways and spews vomit across about an inch of screen space
In that forum (stevehoffman.tv) the ‘hurl’ emoticon is written this way:
:hurl:
But I’m sure it won’t work here.
Yeah, it’s a WP thing.
We’re not allowed to have the animated smileys.
😕
I am not surprised that you would have one. The queen of emoticons. 🙂

More Defecto than Delecto…
He won’t get re-electo…
Let’s hope not!!!!
You don’t have a clue whether he’ll get elected or not.
Over the weekend I watched an interview Eric Metaxas did with Katie Hopkins and it was so depressing. Katie told him that ‘it’s over’ over there regardless of what happens in Brexit or how effective Boris Johnson is as a conservative leader. It’s too late.
She said the demographics are against them. There is one British town – I think she said Birmingham – where the Muslim population is 97%. There is nothing they can do. Especially since the Muslims keep breeding like rabbits and the white population has slowed down.
She said that England is her home and she plans to stay there until the end. She’s willing to be one of the last ones fighting, but she will never let them drive her from her home. It was one of the saddest interviews I’ve ever seen.

No. Tea Partiers.
Tea Partiers? As in Conservative Tea Partiers?
Doesn’t appear to even be a Western country, much less England.
I didn’t hear any English being spoken.
Amish
It’s always the Amish! 😁
That Amish mafia is one tough organization.
Those men displayed remarkable restraint.
Stupid restraint.
One woman was swinging for the face (with who knows what kind of rings on her fingers), and the other was kicking at the groin area.
In either case, the man is well within his rights to hit her right back.

Need less ‘sad’, and a lot more ‘mad’.
And I don’t mean ‘cold anger’, a.k.a. do nothing for 50 years, until you’re too old to do anything, all the while telling yourself you’re being virtuous by letting your enemies walk all over you.
It’s the most defeatist, subversive garbage I’ve ever heard, and it seemed that way the first time I heard it.
Sometimes I think you’re a bit too blunt in your comments. But realistically, you’re not. You are stating the truth and you fail to put garnishes or icing on it.
Only two positions are available: standing or kneeling. Free will choice.
Well, Katie is a straight shooter.
If it’s as bad as Katie says it is, if the ship is really going down, then we should believe her — and everybody needs to start bailing water RIGHT NOW.
There’s no longer time or energy to spare for garnishes or icing.
And all the pleas during the ‘garnishes and icing’ phase of the war failed to get the necessary attention.
So now all that leaves is ‘blunt and direct time’.
As you said, stand or kneel.
They have to pick one, because the enemy doesn’t offer a third option.
“Sometimes I think you’re a bit too blunt in your comments. But realistically, you’re not. You are stating the truth and you fail to put garnishes or icing on it.”

I was thinking about this, and my previous reply, and I probably should have explained a bit better.
I don’t mean to be inconsiderate, it’s usually because I’m exasperated.
In this particular case, it’s like Europe is a family, sitting in their living room, with a big picture window facing the street. I’m walking by, and I see that the second floor is on fire. Not just a little, it’s roaring, so much so, I can hardly believe the family inside doesn’t hear it.
So I’m waving at them from the sidewalk, imploring them to get out, but they don’t see me.
Eventually they do see me, but they think I’m just waving, so they smile and wave back, oblivious to the fire raging above them.
All they have to do is come outside, and they will be safe.
But if they stay in the house much longer, the ceiling is going to collapse and they’re all going to die.
I’m jumping up and down, trying to get their attention, begging them to get out, but they won’t. They can’t hear me, and they’re not curious enough to come outside to find out what all the commotion is about.
I can’t go in to help them. They can help themselves if they just come out, but they won’t come out.
They’re going to die. For nothing. Needlessly.
That kind of exasperation is what usually results in blunt comments, because I have already exhausted every other kind of communication, long ago.
The Dems are playing the long game. Looks like our side needs to counter.

Obama Headlining Democrat Redistricting Fundraiser at Alex Soros’s Home
Former President Barack Obama will headline a fundraiser for the National Democratic Redistricting Committee (NDRC) at Alex Soros’s New York City home on Monday evening, according to Politico Playbook.
Also expected to attend the NDRC event are the group’s founder and chairman, former Attorney General Eric Holder, and former Virginia governor and CNN contributor Terry McAuliffe.
Founded in 2016, the NDRC is a super PAC aimed at positioning Democrats favorably in the round of redistricting after the 2020 census.
Yep, not allowing the “illegal” question on census was a huge loss, maybe a permanent one.
There has to be another way.
Never thought sanctuary cities would still be allowed once we elected Trump.
Makes complete sense as to why we are going after the judgeships FIRST.
Have to clean out the DOJ.
And we need the 4000 appointments for Trump admin officials, which Schumer has selectively blocked.
THAT is our real problem.
I know the Commerce Department was looking at other ways to determine citizenship status.
The thing here is that Democrats’ don’t need just the seats in the states with large populations to remain the same, but they need to be able to bypass Republican control of a number of states with substantial numbers. My state is one with gerrymandered districts. There’s no way any Clay would be elected without them. Yet, that seat has been in that family for decades.
They’ve been doing this for so long, they know where to concentrate resources. Watching and learning from their efforts would be worth the time. Study your enemy and all that.
You should do a post listing those 4K positions, so that Schmucky Schumer can be deluged with contacts complaining about specific vacancies by official title. By naming a specific vacancy, it prevents them from grouping all the complaints together and condemning them as a group. His staff will have to research each one in order to advise SS’s chief-of-staff.
Each complaint to SS should also include a reference to RBG’s appointment by a Republican POTUS.
I misremembered that one. RGB was appointed by BJ Clintoon.
I must call my doctor for a memory screening. As soon as I remember his name.
And it will happen if they keep it up. It looked like he got pelted with tampons.

Goes with her Satan-family soul…
Thank you!!
Looks like another one, wheatie. WP apparently doesn’t like unrolled threads?
I’ll go look.
Yep, found it in the Spam bin.
I accidentally deleted my Bookmark Folder. Unfortunately, I used it as files. Even going back to a previous day in restoring an earlier session has not helped. My history seems to be truncated, and we haven’t figured out why I only show 3-4 recently closed links.
Anyone have any ideas?
So sorry – hoping someone here or elsewhere can help!
Thanks. I don’t even know how it happened. Thought I was deleting something from the list, and then the folder itself disappeared, taking the category header with it. 🙁
I keep all my files in Outlook folders, which can also be lost in case of a crash. I don’t have a clue how to save to a cloud or external hard drive.
Even if I just had made a print copy, I’d have the links. 🙁
Are you on Windows 7 or 10? Unless you have it set up different, or agreed to a prompt to permanently delete, the folder and files might be in your recycle bin (the trash can on the desk top) Hope that helps.
There are also undelete programs like Win undelete, but you have to do it quick if things are on your main drive (most people only have one drive), Windows tends to over write sectors in a sequential order, and once over written, they are hard to get back. Everything you do like adding files or even opening new browser caches cause things to get over written. Hope that helps.
Thanks, Rex. Waiting for hubby to come home to see if we can unravel whatever happened. I’ve looked in the trashcan, it’s called recycle bin, but the only things there are icons I deleted from the desktop.
Sorry, LadyP…wish I knew how to help you.
Which operating system are you using? Which browser are you using?
pgroup, I have Windows 7, Chrome, and duck, duck, go. Does that help? I’m low on knowledge, but hubby can help implement suggestions when he comes home. He tried the Restore option, nothing.
Perhaps you might find some help at one of these links?

Here is another link:
https://www.howtogeek.com/111784/how-to-recover-accidentally-deleted-bookmarks-in-chrome-firefox/
Thanks. Will work on this later with hubby.
What does that mean? System restore should do the trick. I think Chrome puts everything on the Google cloud but I could be wrong about that. Lots of people sync their smartphones to their home ‘puters – maybe that’s you (hopefully)?
If I was in that situation with no obvious fix, I would truck on down to the local computer store with my computer and have them clone the hard drive. Then they can use that clone to find the missing folder because I don’t believe it’s really gone UNLESS you have a virus/worm. Then all bets are off.
I don’t use my smart phone as a backup to the computer. It probably is here, but where don’t know. The System restore should have brought it back. It was a different type of bookmark folder a friend set up, and we’ll try and contact him and ask about recovery. I started a new one which simply is part of chrome? “other bookmarks” but it isn’t where the previous one was, and of course, I’m rebuilding. But lost dozens.
We’ll pray for you but it may not work because computers and the internet are tools of the devil. 🙂
Just being sarcastic but for certain computers do not like humans.
Did you check your trashbin?
I don’t know where the bookmark folder is, but if it’s on your hardrive, then the deleted file(s) and folders should be in your trashbin, in which case you should be able to ‘restore’ them.
It might also work if your computer is set to do automatic backups every few weeks or once a month. If so, restoring to a date previous to the deletion might work.
There is definitely a way to rescue your old files, I’m just not technically saavy enough to know a sure way to do it.
If no friends or family are able to help, you might try one of those fee-for-technical PC assistance websites. It shouldn’t cost much, and someone who is an expert could probably walk you through the process quickly.
Thanks, Scott. Will work on it this evening. My hubby navigates the techi stuff for me, so he’ll have some time to try more solutions then.
The point about speed in file recovery was a good one. The likelihood of success for a file or image recovery program increases if you are quick to act, and if the disk your files are on is large and relatively uncluttered. Whatever you do, DON’T to a disk defragmentation.
Windoze deletes files by changing the numerical code ot the first byte (character) of the filename. These zombie files remain (especially on large or mostly empty disks) until the space is needed. Many products keep backup copies of their files and/or directories. Internet exploder is notorious for this. It also keeps what are known as .dat files, some of which might keep all of the URLs you’ve visited. As others have mentioned, there are means for backing up either your browser (or history), your applications, or even the whole system. Even a little 1TB (wow, weird saying that) portable USB drive for an occasional backup would be useful (or two, in alternation, for more safety). And for very important files, a backup, kept off site (or in a fireproof safe or “file”) is important.
If you have two (or more) computers, you can mirror files between them, if that’s OK for all folks concerned… (since M$ has killed off all their home server products)…
Yep…looks pretty Swampy.

Unless Xi likes boys too.

Mexico wants the USMCA!!!
I think we’re counting down to when NAFTA expires, aren’t we?
Didn’t Wilburine file the official notification that with Congress, that started the Cancellation process for NAFTA?
I think he did.
I believe you are right.
Shhh!
Well, you can bet Mexico is mindful of it.
That’s why they want the new agreement so badly.
If NAFTA expires before the USMCA is in effect…then we go back to pre-NAFTA days.
Its the one good thing amlo has going for him. It will help get people to turn away from cartel crime but it wont be enough in the short term. Justina is silent about Mexico isnt he?
Apparently Nany’s decision depends on whether Trudeau is elected today in Canada.

“Money should NOT go to RINOs who do not support our President!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

That’s why I won’t donate to the GOP.
I will donate to Trump, and he can use the funds however he best sees fit.
As for the GOP, I have the same amount of empathy and loyalty to them as they have shown to me over the course of my voting lifetime.

Terrific interview with Kim Strassel. 45 minutes, bookmark, it’s about how the haters are hurting the USA.
Maybe it’s my age but Kimberly is looking pretty good. Darn good, in fact.
She got her teeth fixed……

Against Gruesome, tech, and Chinee invaders on this coast(buying up lots of real estate, birth tourism, drugs). Gruesome is a dictator in training who publicly revels in forcing dictats. 29 palms is the place to do it. Hot right now still, in the 90s with santa anas blowing, couple few wildfires too. Threats of power cut offs to continue for “at least” 10 years.
Theres a lot going on in CA. I do think its being isolated from the rest of the country with its considerable problems. 2020 will determine a lot more than reelection.

____________________
It’s utter lawlessness, a direct violation of everyone’s rights.
EVERY American has a RIGHT to WORK, and every American has a RIGHT to CONTRACT, and NO government entity has ANY right to interfere with either one.
This shouldn’t even require a challenge up to the (not)Supreme Court, this is basic black-letter law.
There are certainly work-arounds, set up your website and/or business address in a different state, and deduct the added business expenses, but it shouldn’t even be necessary.
At some point, we have to stop engaging in all the ‘work arounds’ which eventually result in a Rube Goldberg contraption so expensive and inefficient that it collapses in on itself — and just say “NO”.
No more.
It stops HERE and it stops NOW.
All it takes is someone to lead and mass civil disobedience.
The ground is already thick with tinder.
All it needs is a spark.
Our founding documents include the Articles of Confederation, Declaration of Independence, as well as the Constitution.
God-given unalienable rights – Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness – those rights include the ability to work and earn a living, and the Declaration of Independence backs up that position.
From my notes:
………………………………
There are court cases that show this and its meaning in the Declaration of Independence.
111 U.S. 746 (1884)
BUTCHERS’ UNION SLAUGHTERHOUSE AND LIVESTOCK LANDING COMPANY
v.
CRESCENT CITY LIVESTOCK LANDING AND SLAUGHTERHOUSE COMPANY.
Argued April 9th, 10th, 1884.
Decided May 5th, 1884.
APPEAL FROM THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE UNITED STATES FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF LOUISIANA.
https://www.law.cornell.edu/supremecourt/text/111/746
………………………………
This is a court case that discusses government cannot interfere with certain rights, and Labor is among the most fundamental of those rights.
““These inherent rights have never been more happily expressed than in the Declaration of Independence, that new evangel of liberty to the people: “We hold these truths to be self-evident” — that is so plain that their truth is recognized upon their mere statement — “that all men are endowed” — not by edicts of Emperors, or decrees of Parliament, or acts of Congress, but “by their Creator with certain inalienable rights” — that is, rights which cannot be bartered away, or given away, or taken away except in punishment of crime — “and that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, and to secure these” — not grant them but secure them — “governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.”
Among these inalienable rights, as proclaimed in that great document, is the right of men to pursue their happiness, by which is meant the right to pursue any lawful business or vocation, in any manner not inconsistent with the equal rights of others, which may increase their prosperity or develop their faculties, so as to give to them their highest enjoyment.”
“”The property which every man has in his own labor, as it is the original foundation of all other property, so it is the most sacred and inviolable. The patrimony of the poor man lies in the strength and dexterity of his own hands, and to hinder his employing this strength and dexterity in what manner he thinks proper, without injury to his neighbor, is a plain violation of this most sacred property. It is a manifest encroachment upon the just liberty both of the workman and of those who might be disposed to employ him. As it hinders the one from working at what he thinks proper, so it hinders the others from employing whom they think proper.” Adam Smith’s Wealth of Nations, Bk. I. Chap. 10, cited in Supreme Court Case.”
.
Important… what we see there is labor (work) is the foundation of all property (and therefore property RIGHTS).
Labor: The Fundamental Property Right. And it’s not just property, but that’s a key one. The foundation of all other property, and property rights, that starts with Labor. Because you won’t have anything if you can’t work to get it.

STATE OF KANSAS.

Decided January 25, 1915.
ERROR TO THE SUPREME COURT OF THE STATE OF KANSAS.
*4 Mr. R.R. Vermilion and Mr. W.F. Evans for plaintiff in error.
Mr. John S. Dawson, Attorney General of the State of Kansas, and Mr. J.I. Sheppard for defendant in error.
…………………………………..
Item 14 of SC case: “The principle is fundamental and vital. Included in the right of personal liberty and the right of private property — partaking of the nature of each — is the right to make contracts for the acquisition of property. Chief among such contracts is that of personal employment, by which labor and other services are exchanged for money or other forms of property. If this right be struck down or arbitrarily interfered with, there is a substantial impairment of liberty in the long-established constitutional sense. The right is as essential to the laborer as to the capitalist, to the poor as to the rich;; for the vast majority of persons have no other honest way to begin to acquire property, save by working for money.”
There’s that fundamental property right, work or labor is the foundation of property.

And the RIGHT to CONTRACT for work is self-evident.
Not only can the government NOT lawfully interfere with these rights, but the government’s PRIMARY PURPOSE is to PROTECT these rights!

This morning I was unable to access either the QTree or CTH for almost an hour.
It brought home the thought that at some point both branches might be banned.
Do we have a back up plan?
I think that Wolf touched upon this but I wanted to get help from someone knowledgeable before trying to set up another account, etc. on my own. However, faced with a blank internet I would be willing to chance things.
Hope Wolf, Flep, everyone is ok.
❤️
I also had trouble getting on here at CTH this morning, but didn’t try the OT.
I have the pages bookmarked and when I clicked on them nothing happened
Weird.
However, immediate response for other pages I have bookmarked, like Breitbart. Internet was fine.
If I did get the bookmark to work there was just the endless nonproductive “loading”..
I went OT to thinking that if all else failed I would try to get someone’s attention that this site was not accessible.
I have my links on an email draft, and use mailboxes for subject files and have relatively few bookmarks.
It was a WordPress problem, LM.
I checked 10 different WP sites, including this one and OT…and they were all inaccessible
Then I did a DuckDuckGo search for “wordpress is down”…and got comments from all over the web of people going “WTF?”
It didn’t last an hour for me, though.
I was able to come back on here after about 20 minutes.
Thank you Wheatie!
Is a WordPress problem less threatening kr problematic than a ban?
Could it sll be part of the same thing or is it an innocuous coding error?
Amazing the forlorn response I had to such temporary isolation.
It being a WP problem means it had nothing to do with a ban…or anything targeting this site.
It means that WP was down for a bit, maybe a server problem…or a power outage.
Their server is located in California.
Could have just been down for site maintenance, I dunno.
Wheatie, thank you.
I posted a response but don’t see it,
Want to make sure you know that I an grateful for the information.
You’re welcome, LM. 😊
I thought the back up plan was to be Gab.com, and a treehouse set up by Wolfie within Gab.com. Please correct me if I’m wrong—we were dealing with this about a year ago here at the Q-tree.
IIRC…..Gab is the go to place in an “emergency” outage….
LM, if this site goes dark, we are to watch Wolf’ Gab account for directions.

Regarding USCMCA:
ristvan says:
October 21, 2019 at 3:45 pm
“I just spelled it out again in a long comment on the previous Ross thread. There is already a trade law on the books that PDJT can use to create a USMCA minus Canada only stuff for Mexico, and a USMCA minus Mexico only stuff for Canada, both in force for up to ten years—if Pelosi TDS blocks trilateral USCMCA vote.
It is 19USC§2902. The law says that if another country requests one, PDJT can sign a trade bilateral good for up to ten years. All PDJT has to do is sign them for long enough to get to the next congress in 2021 after the upcoming election. Then the new Congress puts the permanent already negotiated USMCA into force. All Pelosi has on USMCA is appearances. She has no effective substance.”
And do not forget we already sent notice that we are opting OUT of NAFTA. There is NOTHING to go back to if USMCA fails because of partisan politics. Trump CAN and WILL do the bilaterals, nothing that evil traitor can do to stop it.
Great news from Ristivan above. Had not read that before. Nor anyone on President Trump’s team.
Good by me. Nervous Nan can ignore USMCA to my delight.
Let’s have two bilats (US Mexico and US Canada)…announce after House fails to act on USMCA.
MOAR egg on D-Rats.
MOAR winning;-).
ristvan says:
October 21, 2019 at 3:03 pm
“I listened carefully, and am cautiously optimistic on both China and USMCA, plus Brexit followed by a quick UK trade bilat.
On China, there is a simple two part outcome and either is good for PDJT. Either the agreed part one deal gets papered and then preferably signed mid November in Chile, or not. If not, the postponed tariffs hit in December.
On USMCA, there is no need to push Pelosi seriously until Canada ratifies after the election, at which point PDJT triggers NAFTA§22.5 giving Pelosi 6 months. Ross comments today are just political,positioning. Then Pelosi has a stark choice. Get it approved, which her Dem unions want, or not because of TDS. My guess is it will get done. If not, PDJT strips Canada only stuff out of USMCA for aMexico bilat, Mexico only stuff out for a Canada bilat, and the day after Nafta expires uses 19USC§2902 to put both in place, while Pelosi has no say.which why she will grudgingly get it done.
We are down to the last ten days on Brexit. BoJo did a smart thing when Parliament forced him to ask for another delay on Saturday. The forced request was unsigned, accompanied by a signed letter saying don’t grant the delay—echoing Macron. That forces Parliament to vote the BoJo deal, or Brexit with no deal by Oct 31. My guess is they will approve the deal, Then as Ross points out, PDJT can put in place a quick UK bilat, again using 19USC§2902. And that provides additional leverage when PDJT turns to EU trade next year.”
When soy boy loses in Canada tomorrow, yet ANOTHER globalist will be GONE. Once is a happenstance, two is a coincidence…eight or more is a REVOLUTION!

I happened to see an interview on FOX of Harry and Meghan in Africa…sound was off and I only stayed in the room a few minutes. But, apparently they are taking time off from “Royal appearances” because it’s been such a struggle for her. As I said, no audio but I watched her (IMO) “act”…eyes down, sad expression …reminded me greatly of Christine Blassy Ford’s little girl victim act. Of course, Princess Diana played that role, as well, when things were going south in her marriage.
Meghan is in mid-30’s, has been married twice and has been in the entertainment world for several years, and now a mother, so the Innocent little me victim card doesn’t really play well…..(And, she hired her own PR person, who just happened to previously work for the Obamas….wonder why.)
Evidently she feels she is just existing, not living …pretty nice existence,I would say.
Here’s hoping Prince Harry had a prenup. With her background history he’d have been a total fool not to have one.
Be glad it was on mute. But I did not know about the PR person but this all this!!!!!
PDJT made a brilliant comment this afternoon in the cabinet meeting.

Abortion.

The taking of LIFE without due process (for the CHILD, not the mother!) is a violation of the Constitution for the United States of America.
………………………….
The Due Process Clause is included in both the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution. The clause prohibits the government from depriving a person of their right to liberty or property without due process. This clause has helped the federal and state governments adopt fairness standards to ensure people’s rights are not violated. When the justice system fails to treat a person accused of a crime in a fair manner, this treatment violates the person’s rights to Due Process. To explore this concept, consider the following Due Process Clause definition.
Definition of Due Process Clause
Noun
Clause included in the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution ensuring that no person is deprived of his life, liberty, or property without due process of law.
Origin: Proposed in 1788, Fourteenth Amendment ratified to include Due Process in 1868.

Err… I’ll stick with tornadoes in Texas THANK YOU…
I don’t know about that. From what I’ve seen and heard on the news, the fire crews are doing the best they can. Those strong winds combined with super dry overgrown brush and rough, steep terrain must be difficult to work against. As it is, the fire crews are putting their lives on the line to preserve property and other lives.
Yes, the fire crews are great, but TPTB can allocate resources such that some places burn while others are saved.
And TPTB have a long history of utterly ignoring what is best for the People and doing what is in their own best interest or the interests of their ideology or globalist objectives, take your pick.
And Kalifournya has had a LOT of funny business related to ‘wild’ (or not so wild) fires in recent years.
It may be difficult – need the brush in winter rains to contain mudslides. Drought in summer, Santa Ana winds created brush fires.
I am talking about paved fire breaks, watering brush (use sea water if necessary).
TRUMP could solve the problem, for sure.
Wonder if he has a property in the area and if so, how he protects it?
It’s fire season for all of the Western states.
Following the links from the KTLA feed the news seems to be pretty good. The Palisades fire threatened a neighborhood of million dollar homes. I’m sure they worked hard to contain it quickly.
Saddle Ridge fire was larger and took longer to contain.
Pierre should write a book on how to destroy a reputation. It would be right up there with Alinsky’s “Rules for
Radicals.” I predict it would be a best seller in China. Not quite to the level of Mao’s “Little Red Book” but a noble effort nonetheless.
HA!
I’m liking that
“What kind of pathetic weasel creates a shadow Twitter account not, as he claims, to observe the political landscape but rather to PRAISE HIMSELF?”

A weasel whose nom de chicken is Pierre Delecto 😁
No surprise…
Must be upvoted for “DipSchiff” alone!!!

I can understand the D’s, but IMO it’s unforgivable for any R’s to not support The Wall.
Talk about competition.

I have never known what to think about Assange’s predicament. That tweet makes it sound as though Assange will talk with AG Barr, whom we know to be fair and humane. It’s reasonable to think Assange would go before the top law enforcement officer in the country. That would be the best-case scenario because there are people who want to fry him for his work that’s not even related to Hillary. And the Deep State actors no doubt want his scalp. Pres. Trump has spoken against him, but “disinformation is necessary.” It’s not clear to me what Q thinks about Assange. But I hope Assange will be safe in the U.S. and that this plays out like so many have been predicting.
I hate to have to say this, but after Assange disappeared for months into the British intelligence system – a system that not only KNOWS but USES every mind control trick that Tavistock owns – I simply would not trust a single word out of Assange’s mouth.
Whatever really happened, we may never know. Assange may never know. It’s sad, but THEY got to him first, and they’ve had plenty of time to cover their tracks.

Trudeau won ———- no USMCA for the USA
https://www.politico.com/news/2019/10/21/canada-election-justin-trudeau-000293
Given their majority we shouldnt be surprised. But oh my….Canada…its a disgrace.
You’ll please pardon me for waiting to hear Scheer concede, giving the grossly biased and dishonest Canadian media.
Gosh, I hope Scheer wins.
I think Canada is ready for change
But the elites need to feel a LOT MORE PAIN where it really HURT$$$$$
I know a man who can dish out $OME PAIN…
*given
That’s too bad. My opinion of Canadians just dropped big time.
Fat lady has not sung yet on USMCA
Trump has a way of proving people wrong
Guarantee this eventuality is 100% gamed out
No one sleeps tonight . . . I will win!!!
No one sleeps!
No one sleeps!
Even you, oh princess,
in your cold room,
look at the stars
that tremble with love
and hope!
But my mystery; it is locked in me.
And my name,no one will know!
No, no!
On your mouth
I will say it,
when the light
will shine!
And my kiss will break the silence,
that makes you mine!
His name no one will know…
And we shall have, alas, to die, to die…!
Disperse, o night!
Vanish, oh stars!
Vanish, oh stars!
At daybreak, I will win!
I will win!
I will win!
I’ve posted Nancy Pelosi’s case for impeachment, according to Lawfare in a separate thread which will be out at 12:10AM eastern time.
It’s a 4 page document.
Light reading, heavy on innuendo and graphics.
It will make headlines tomorrow.
I’m sure you meant to write “Lawfare’s case for impeachment, according to Nancy Pelosi”
And repeating “Orange man bad.” over and over again for 4 pages isn’t a case, it’s adolescence.
But then, what else CAN they do. PDJT is on pace for a landslide re-election, and Barr/Huber is on pace for serious criminal indictments.
Desperate times call for desperate measures.
I simply cannot WAIT to see what you will write on this post.
Salivating over the idea of it.
Senator Grassley and pro tempore of the Senate is MAD about the delays in FISA IG report, thinks the deep state is tanking the report
Let’s see what happens.

I have a different suspicion.
As we know, Horowitz cannot (could not) interview a lot of the folks who had left gov’t jobs. On the other hand, Huber/Durham can, has, and will.
I suspect that Horowitz is being given information that is dramatically altering some (much?) of the conclusions of his report.
That said, I could be wrong, but I’m an incurable optimist when it comes to anything having to do with PDJT.
*left gov’t jobs = fired
Boom.
‘It’s too much’: Democrats Shudder at Trump’s Money Machine
https://www.politico.com/news/2019/10/21/trump-money-democrats-2020-election-050962
QUOTE:
“Donald Trump and the Republican National Committee have raised more than $300 million this year for his reelection — more than any other sitting president in history at this point in the campaign.
Trump has nearly twice as much cash on hand — $158 million, between his campaign account and the RNC — as Barack Obama and the Democratic National Committee had at this time in his successful re-election run.
Democrats are growing increasingly alarmed by the spending chasm between the two sides — and its implications for the general election.
“The resources he has will be put to work anywhere and everywhere that he feels like he can scare up electoral votes, and Democrats will never catch up. It’s just too much money,” said Chris Lippincott, a Texas-based Democratic strategist who ran a super PAC opposing Sen. Ted Cruz last year. “That’s real trouble … I’m not here to curse the dark, but it’s dark.”
And the situation stands to get worse.
Some Democratic campaign veterans fear the party is underestimating both the level of Trump’s preparations for 2020 and what it will take to unseat a sitting president. The level of preparation by Trump’s staff echoes Obama’s 2012 campaign, said Rufus Gifford, former finance director for Obama’s 2012 re-election.
“We were sophisticated, we were organized, and we were well-funded. This is everything the Trump operation is…..he has an extremely professional operation,” said Gifford.
the DNC had only $8.2 million on hand at the end of August, a fraction of the RNC’s nearly $54 million
The daunting sums raised by both the RNC and Trump in the third quarter is nothing compared to what Democrats are expecting Republicans will churn out by year’s end 😮
Terrence K. Williams video was mean as a reply …
Dems are so running scared
UPDATE! I SAID 13 but it’s now 15
After THE IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY
President Trump’s campaign received $15 million in small donations, including 50,000 from new donors
COULD BE MORE NOW!
NANCY PELOSI & the Dems thought we would stop supporting Trump
