We are here. The day before All Hallows Eve when parents everywhere are scrambling to get costumes finished and be sure that there is two hours worth of fun sized candy to hand out….
Oh, wait. That tradition has been wrecked, hasn’t it. Oh, well. We can enjoy some creepy music in the meantime. Here is one tune that we don’t hear all that often, but could well be one of the more haunting melodies of the American film score anthology played for once on a 1699 Stradivarius.
HA! Bet y’all thought I was going to post this:
Okay, so here’s the deal. This is the open thread. This is where we all come to get the news that other Q tree inhabitants think is worth knowing and sharing. Please, post links to any “news” stories quoted, and ask for help if you are stumped as to how to do that. We’re a friendly lot. Someone will be with you shortly, and there is no reason to have to press one for English.
Free speech, and the open exchange and hashing out of ideas is not only allowed, but encouraged. If we all don’t use it, we’re going to lose it. A little incivility goes a long way, though. Everyone here has closely held convictions and values. Stepping on them might result in something like this (start at about 1:30 in):
And now for some house keeping:
There are a few rules here in the branches of the Q Tree. Our host, Wolfm00n, outlined them in a post on New Years Day. Please, review these rules from time to time. Tomorrow night while waiting for the doorbell to ring would be a good time.
Fellow tree dweller Wheatie gave us some good reminders on the basics of civility in political discourse:
- No food fights.
- No running with scissors.
- If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.
Steve suggests – to be accurate – no shooting at the nuclear weapons, but to be safe about it, don’t event point firearms toward them. I, Deplorable Patriot, bossy chick that I am, request no teasing the animals, pets and wildlife alike.
And…please, please, use the best critical thinking skills in making comments as tail feathers tend to raise while fire hydrants are being watered, even among friends.
Teasing and trolling the lefties and their bastions, on the other hand is a moral imperative.

In the eternal fight against the forces of evil and darkness, unceasing prayer is always needed.
Today’s Lectionary tells us what is our responsibility in the bargain of salvation:
LK 13:22-30
Jesus passed through towns and villages,
teaching as he went and making his way to Jerusalem.
Someone asked him,
“Lord, will only a few people be saved?”
He answered them,
“Strive to enter through the narrow gate,
for many, I tell you, will attempt to enter
but will not be strong enough.
After the master of the house has arisen and locked the door,
then will you stand outside knocking and saying,
‘Lord, open the door for us.’
He will say to you in reply,
‘I do not know where you are from.’
And you will say,
‘We ate and drank in your company and you taught in our streets.’
Then he will say to you,
‘I do not know where you are from.
Depart from me, all you evildoers!’
And there will be wailing and grinding of teeth
when you see Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob
and all the prophets in the Kingdom of God
and you yourselves cast out.
And people will come from the east and the west
and from the north and the south
and will recline at table in the Kingdom of God.
For behold, some are last who will be first,
and some are first who will be last.”
As always, prayers for the fight against that which seeks to enslave us are welcome.
And now, on to the day’s news…..

John Minford, #SunTzu 10: 5 “On enclosed terrain, if we occupy it first, we must block it and wait for the enemy. If he occupies it first and blocks it, do not go after him; if he does not block it, then go after him.”
Oh, thank goodness, my commentators lent a helping hand! What is enclosed terrain? Tactically, it is a level plain enclosed by high mountain sides with a narrow entrance. Now that’s something I can picture, yes? Viewing it in mind, you can then follow tactical counsel.
If you get there first, you have to both occupy the terrain with your own forces, and most especially, block off the entrance. It’s got to be deadly dangerous for your enemy to attempt to enter in. Picture great wooden stakes, sharpened to a point, facing outward.
Picture you own men at the ready in battle array with your heavily armored great warriors, spearmen and swordsmen at the front and your archers behind them. Beyond formidable, you become almost impossible to attack successfully. You have the plain behind for your camp.
If you further picture water falls on the high enclosing walls, you have plentiful supply of that, and picture your sheep and cattle grazing on the plain. You will be virtually impossible to force out. You’ve mastered your own enclosure now. You’re happy.
Flip your vision. You show up, and low and behold your enemy got there first and is deeply ensconced. Do NOT go in. Don’t even attempt to break in. Leave. Build a new strategy. Don’t go in. You won’t win.
Last, if you get there BEFORE your enemy has blocked off the narrow entry, BEFORE his camp is set up and you discover his chaos, this can be the best opportunity you could ask for. Without the safety of his preparations, he’s trapped with no retreat. Attack, attack, attack!
Let’s turn to the Constitution. Most everyone has heard the term “originalist.” If you’re serious about it, then you definitely know that Judge Scalia was its greatest champion. Just in case you don’t know, it means taking the Constitution at its written word.
The other side is labeled activist, their holy grail is a “living document.” This document is not bound by its terms but by a modern judgment of the framer’s intent, or perhaps essential intent, which is then applied in an activist manner. I’d like to reframe the debate further.
I consider originalism to be the beating heart of a Constitutional Republican Warrior, and activism the beating heart of a Social Justice Warrior. And make no mistake, it is absolutely a war. And it is fought on enclosed terrain. The high hills are history and law.
The narrow entrance is the process of selection of judges and justices, especially those few appointed to the Supreme Court. And the truth is, Mitch McConnell is my hero here, something I very rarely call him. For a long time, I thought he should just call the vote on Garland.
Then recently, it hit me. He didn’t know the outcome of the election, and any disadvantage he forced on his Senators up for reelection, or new Republican candidates for the Senate could cost the Senate itself. Now that’s realpolitik. So, he decided, no vote.
What are the ripple effects of that decision? Certainly, a President Trump is one of them. We know that more Trump voters cared about the Supreme Court, and the replacement for Scalia than almost any other issue. Another is we did indeed keep the Senate in 2016.
I, for one, have absolutely not given him his due credit, and that brings us back to the enclosed terrain of originalism vs activism. Had we lost the HRC. Or, had we lost the Senate, you could have basically put paid to originalism in American history. All done. Gone.
What McConnell achieved, virtually single handedly, was to block off the other side from completing their enclosure on the narrow entry to the court. Imagine an HRC presidency and Garland on the court. Their enclosure blocked off completely.
In every rally, Trump touts the achievement of 150+ federal, originalist judges appointed – more than any president in history – and his two originalist appointments to the High Court, so far. He – with McConnell’s help – knew it was our last moment to go in after the other side.
Turn now to your own town, and its city council. Are all the districts so 100% locked up for the other side that there’s no chance of turning even one to ours? Then, they’ve completed their enclosure and you should probably leave it alone. But, what if…
Go again, back with me, all the way to, say, 2014 or so. Who could have imagined the rise of Trump? Who could have imagined the possibility of an originalist majority on the SCOTUS? We’re not there yet, but with a second term, we’re almost certain to be so.
Could it be that in your own town the other side’s “lock” on to the representative forms of government may not be quite so 100% locked down as we typically believe? Maybe they’re on enclosed terrain but have not completed their enclosure quite so completely.
Last point for today. Can you hear the new strength in Republican Senators’ voices, defending Trump relative to this sham Impeachment today, following the demise of Baghdadi? I sure do. Impeachment is absolutely enclosed terrain. And no, their enclosure is not complete.
288 verses completed, 168 to go.

This is the point for those still in the fight…
Fighting locally has to start with a spark of hope that something can be done.
Agree!
In the broader sense of making inroads with the left, the following gave me some encouragement today.
Here was a person that I would never have thought could be reached by any on our side, but look what happened! (She doesn’t hate us)

Maybe a first step in entrenched communities is to get a foot in the door by simply working to get free speech allowed.
When that doesn’t work, perhaps a simple act of kindness like that of picking up the trash might.
The local fights are very important! Thread coming!!!

I’m definitely going to read more of this guys stuff. Have put him on my thread reader authors
One thing that makes me believe that the terrain may not be an unfavorable in the future is the fact that a lot of what PDJT has done is to dry up the funding sources for our enemy. Budget cutbacks are being seen everywhere – note how more recent false flag operations are not as slick as prior ones – and will likely show up in local elections as well.
Plus getting the right judges in place over time is going to keep local corrupt judges second guessing how fast their poor rulings are going to be overturned.
Wow! Not only must read, but reread!
Thank you!
Yep. Be warned I may drop more of his stuff here. I’ve put him on my author list
Yay❣️
I’m your friendly neighborhood packrat
Thanks, Ozzy….he writes in a very clear, simple manner…very important, IMO.
“Enclosed terrain”, of course, is also historically called a “boxed canyon” and the American Indians were masters of luring unsuspecting troops of soldiers or other enemies into them..
I like that he gives McConnell his due credit for his masterful gamble regarding Garland …something only a seasoned politician can pull off. While we might disagree with many of the actions and unexplained thought processes of some of our long-time Congress members, unless they have personal agendas (mostly financial pay for play in some form) there’s often a long-term play involved that comes with insider knowledge and experience. It’s a complicated business, folks!
That’s why this newcomers that grab the national attention..Omar, AOC, etc…soon burn out…annoying little flashes in the pan never to be taken seriously. They create their own boxed canyons rather quickly… as Katie Hill found out.
Absolutely. You have to build alliances on shifting sands and know where everyone’s red lines are and where their bodies are buried

I’m a little partial to Bostons myself 😉
In Vietnam, specifically, I understand they were really valuable for listening for trip wires.
In WWII, one of my mother’s uncles trained dogs. He joined the Coast Guard – the really underrated branch of service – and that’s what he did. Where the dogs went I don’t know.
My one brother, the retired Marine helo pilot, once had a bunch of German Shepherds he took from the base in Iraq to the Syrian border, and since it was hot they sat on the seats. He said he flipped the rotors on, and there was dog hair everywhere, but they were better behaved than the Iraqis.
T3, saw this painting over at The_Donald earlier today.
It’s by Stewart Brown, and it’s titled, “Into the Breach”.
The doggo, named Benno, was KIA on 4/27/12.
The poster said the Prints are sold out, ’cause, you know, everyone wanted the print.

Marica!!!! I’m so sorry. I abandoned ship yesterday. It was just getting to me. Then last night… same doom and gloom emanating – it seemed like from everywhere!
The Dems are going to do what they’re going to do, but POTUS is going to do what he is going to do. He is beating them even now, that’s why they’re so desperate. Why is POTUS calling Pelosi, “Nervous Nancy”? I thought it was due to the Big Picture facing the Dems, but reconsidered – maybe she’s is NERVOUS because there’s personal dirt on her/family. 😂

Marica, sweetie, I so appreciate you. You are all heart, and are doing God’s work.
I love this quote from Julian of Norwich. It keeps me going some days:

Ozzy Man Reviews – Ozzy Man Reviews: Leaving the Nest …
Imma thinking he’s going to run
Michelle Obama accused “white folks” of running from “us,” while recounting her childhood on the South Side of Chicago.
Discussing “white flight” in Chicago neighborhoods today, Obama said, “As families like ours — upstanding families like ours who were doing everything we were supposed to do and better.
As we moved in, white folks moved out because they were afraid of what our family represented.”
https://is.gd/bWmVDT
Well gosh…Southside Chicago is such a great place now after all those “families like ours, upstanding families”…..right?! Can’t imagine why those white racists would move…now is (S)he saying that if they had stayed that the place wouldn’t be a murder zone now? His smug diatribe only proves the point that whites valued safety .
https://chicagoganghistory.com/neighborhood/south-chicago/
South Chicago soon became one of the more violent neighborhoods in Chicago and still has is one of the more dangerous neighborhoods in the city. Many parts of South Chicago are severely blighted as just about every block east of Yates Boulevard has multiple abandoned homes and buildings.
Yep. I just think it’s telling he’s beating the drum on being persecuted racially again
it worked the first 2 times…third times the charm for Mochelle…
The old magic doesn’t work anymore. People aren’t blinde by the cool, the black thing. Serious questions are being asked. Even ,very quietly in diehard supporters minds
It was Democrats who invented red-lining with the creation of the FHA as part of FDR’s New Deal, and they maintained segregation in housing practices until the late 60s when the Civil Rights Act forced the practices to change. Chicago, Detroit, Baltimore, Portland… what do all those cities have in common now, hmm? Betcha neither Zero or Mike want to talk about that.
Oh BTW, another quick question, where’s that Presidential library at again??
Mission creep. It’s now a private residence/ house of worship for the magic negro
I’ll remind once again to no one in particular from the Civil War until segregation was illegal, blacks were kept contained. Locally, they were largely domestic help and lived in neighborhoods close to the upper middle class, especially in the towns on the rail lines outside the city. Here, Mechum Park (Kirkwood), The Ville (neighborhood in north city), and Kinlock (adjacent to Ferguson and was bought out for airport expansion that never happened) were the most well known. Things have changed, to an extent.
Gag reflex everytime I read anything to do with big Mike.
BTW since they’re at it again with the “white flight” non-sense, here are some key definitions to understand housing and population migration in the United States:
FWIW, demographers don’t use the term “white flight” – it presumes things about the people and motives in demographic change that may, in fact, not be reflected in the raw data or in the motivations of people moving.
With all of that ^^^^^ how DO they explain the almost inevitable blight and crime when it does go fully black community with the black reps, black mayors, black school board, etc ? Why doesn’t it automatically morph into a model of wealth, happiness and forward movement? Why is it that whites get the blame if they move, if they stay?
“how DO they explain the almost inevitable blight and crime”?
Oh that’s EASY!!!
You mean you don’t know?
The answer is it’s because of “racism”.
Nevermind that the Dems own the political institutions, and the police unions, and therefore the police, who then appeal back to the corrupt politicians in a vicious circle that guarantees rampant crime and poverty…
“Why is it that whites get the blame if they move, if they stay?”

She can’t name a single family that moved out because they moved in, it’s just a trope she uses for her race hustle.
Pardon me, “he”.
It’s just his racism and endless wailing about being discriminated against. In perpetual search of victimhood
Well it would be one thing if he really was a ‘victim’ of discrimination, but when you make it all the way to the WH — and you couldn’t have done it without LOTS of white votes — the jig is up.
Unless he would like to ADMIT that the vote was rigged, of course. In that case, maybe he could play the ‘discrimination’ card. I guess it depends on which is more important to him, playing the discrimination card or claiming his husband was legitimately elected.
He can’t claim both, not with a straight 5 o’clock shadow.
Claiming to be a constant victim of ‘discrimination’ when you were the first dude for 8 years is stroke-inducing cognitive dissonance.
… I call bull crap 💩 ..
It’s been soooooooo nice not to have the constant race-baiting from the White House. “Look at me! I’m black! And yurra rayciss!” If you just leave people alone, most will act decently, get along with those of other races, and be friendly and compassionate. The majority don’t care about race at all. It’s mostly those who are brainwashed into thinking someone else is out to get them — and they are being used and abused by the very people who claim to be their friends. The “progressives” want us to regress.
By contrast, Pres. Trump says, “Look at me! I’m rich! And I want that for you, too!” His policies are for Americans, without attention to race. And then he backs it up by boosting the economy so people can work, keep more of their money, and not pay so much to other countries.
The one endlessly crying victimhood are either scamming a system set up to protect the vulnerable, or creating excuses for their own failings
Bwahahahah
Great read from Victor Davis Hanson
https://www.nationalreview.com/2019/10/anatomies-of-the-2020-election/
Anatomy of 2020: Weighing Issues, Candidates, and the State of Our Union
If Warren or Sanders is nominated, neither will raise much money – given that Wall Street, Corporate America, and Silicon Valley do not equate their Democratic loyalties with a suicide pact.
If Biden survives, he will raise a great deal of cash, and his future depends on how well he remembers where he is, whom he is surrounded by, and what he is supposed to say
And, I add, keeps his hands to himself
The “hands” might still be a problem, but Biden is not the Biden of old. He used to be a self-confident, back-slapping grinning guy. Now he just looks worried, IMO. And with good reason. He’s finally having to face some of the corruption he’s engaged in. He’s lost several steps as a politician. I think there are those who can’t fully see it yet, but they will.
Yep. He scared and, I suspect, trying to establish a dementia defence. Even if his worthless spawn goes to the wolves
Biden is looking frailer by the day. Dementia evident, and declining health.
The Dems actually only have him in the race to prop up their narrative of “2020 election interference” – but that’s going to be discarded as soon as they find a viable candidate. Biden is not a viable candidate, we know it, and they know it. He’s just the current front man until they can figure out who might make a race of it.
Let’s be honest….the Dims know they cannot win this election and they need a sacrificial goat. Do they pick someone like Biden as a setting-sun politician to give money and recognition as a parting gift to him…or, do they promote a up and coming for future promotion, as they often do by assigning them to high profile Committees.
Trouble is, all the Dims up and coming types are very flawed, very radical and not terribly bright….it shows in the Committee coverage which often serves as a vetting process…..a national audition, if you will. AOC (and/or Booker) is a perfect examples…Pelosi was testing
the waters with her …big fail. Peter Principle in action.
I too think that the Dems have written off this election, that they are searching for an up and coming type to burnish for the future and that they are having trouble finding someone who might fit the bill.
Agreed. aF…and, you also have to be careful not to assign a “loser” image to that person.

Vindman may have broken the law.
I think he did!

https://www.citizenfreepress.com/breaking/catherine-herridge-colonel-vindman-may-have-broken-the-law/
———– From the article:
‘Colonel Vindman may have broken the law by leaking the president’s call…’
During questioning on Tuesday Colonel Vindman admitted he shared the read-outs of President Trump’s call Ukrainian President Zelenzky with several others. When Jim Jordan asked him who he shared the readouts with — Rep. Adam Schiff shut down the questioning!
Catherine Herridge: “One thing that caught my attention is that Vindman said he shared it with people who were relevant and who had sort of a need to know and proper security clearance. And, it you could just bare with me, the reason that matters is that presidential phone calls are highly classified and if they’re shared with people who don’t have a need to know that would be a potential violation of the leaking statute that is 18 USC 798. And if you watched closely this afternoon Rep. Jim Jordan said that Chairman Schiff repeatedly shut down lines of questioning including who Vindman talked to after the July 25th phone call.”

Is there some good reason why Colonel Klink here ISN’T now under arrest for disobeying the direct orders of his Commander-in-Chief and awaiting a court martial??
No good one.
Yes. The trap has not yet ensnared all of its targets. When it does, it will be tripped.
^^^This.
Vindman objected to certain things not being in the transcript that was released. I have a feeling DOJ did not want those points mentioned. Will be very interesting how that shakes out. My suspicion is that Trump said “perfect” because it was “perfect”.
I expect once the rest of this unfolds, the corrupted Colonel is going to find himself recalled and facing court-martial.
100% Vineland needs to lose his clearance immediately. Then brought up on charges. Scumbag, he is.

I wonder if this new actor is on stage because someone needs to introduce military tribunals to the public. He seems rather well positioned for the role, don’t you think?
Apropos of the organ vid, my grandfather had a thing for tuning pipe organs. I didn’t recognize the five-manual organ in the post….but, y’know, I’d suspect it was the Wanamaker if it had six [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wanamaker_Organ ]. Accordingly, I could prattle on and on and on about the characteristics, quirks, technical issues, history, and lore of pipe organs.
But that’s the sort of thing that could take over a post. Instead, I’ll just toss out a couple of teasers.
One pipe stop is the “Vox Humana” — Latin for “human voice”. This is a reed pipe with a peculiar reverberating chamber whose opening can be manipulated after the pipe is tuned to pitch. As the chamber is opened, the pipe sounds more “oo”, or “oh”, or “ah”. It is always played in three ranks, with each choral sound playing simultaneously. I’d have to imagine, however, that if we were composing contemporary pop on pipe organs, someone would have figured a way to play each rank separately, so you could alternate the “ooh, ooh”s against the “ah, ah”s.
Modern pipe organs in the middle of the last century depended on a simple valve — one per pipe — that had a horseshoe electromagnet about 1″ across and 3” long, that would attract a cork-covered disk about the size of a nickel. The disk would ordinarily hold closed against the air passage to sound the pipe from air pressure alone.
Prior to electric control, however [and, certainly, in the time of Bach], control of the various parts of the organ was done through mechanical interlock — the “positiv” system — and the amount of effort necessary to press a key depended upon which pipes you were playing. This is part of why the “Toccata” — or “Touch” — piece was so very important for organ composers — you could be playing three keyboards, one of which it took six ounces of pressure to sound a note, another of which took 10 ounces, and the third of which took 18 ounces. To be able to play gracefully and in time across all three keyboards was both an intellectual and athletic event.
Pipe organs always play at the same volume. In order for the organ to be louder or softer, it is put in a separate room separated from the listening room with shutters. In order for different parts of the organ to be louder or softer than other parts, they are put in different organ rooms with their own shutters. This leads you to things like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wanamaker_Organ#Architectural_layout — yes, they’re talking about 16 separate rooms (with individually-controlled shutters). In addition, there are certain sounds produced in the common listening space.
Goodness……that’s after saying I’d keep it short.
I love pipe organs… growing up I would play Bach recordings on what we in those days called “CDs” or “Compact Discs” over my dad’s “stereo set”, and if I could get away with it I would enable the subwoofer and turn the volume up extraordinarily loud so that it would shake the house… but that was as close as I could get to a real pipe organ.
I was telling my wife that if I ever had a chance to take the kids to an event locally with pipe organs I want to be sure we can go as a family, so I could hear some of the greatest compositions in history played live. Sadly her music appreciation education wasn’t as broad as I had hoped and I had to explain “Enter Sandman” for her.
The early days of synthesis were very much tied into organ music (see early discography of Wendy Carlos before odd meters, irregular tunings, and atonal atmospheres took over). Then things went pop, then things went sample player. I kept hoping for a ‘Wanamaker’ sample….
I live in a small, historic town with Civil War-era churches and we are incredibly fortunate to have several pipe organs. As a result, I have become very enamored (and awed) with them and come to the conclusion that it is probably the most difficult musical instrument to play, bar none.
I’ve been fortunate to see, up close and personal, the department chairman of Juilliard play a few occasions and it’s pure magic, especially with the foot work. That’s why it really has to be seen, more than heard, to be fully appreciated…at least for me. Otherwise, it’s just church or funeral music to most.
For some pieces, I’ve seen organists resemble spiders as they are pulling and pushing stops, and playing the pedalboard.
I often say they are tap dancing as they play the pedalboard. Fortunately, many of the churches now are able to have a camera focus on the pedalboard and it’s shown on a screen for everyone to see, during concerts.
On the actual youtube page, the specific organ was identified, IIRC.
What you describe…one big one here in the city, the Shrine of St. Joseph, still operates that way. I don’t know if it has been digitized at all, but the organists who play it complain about their calves aching after playing it.
I’m going to have to figure out a way to sing against them with earplugs. I swear the 32′ bass pipes make my ears ring. But, then I’m usually standing less than ten feet from them.
Bwahahahah

🤨👍❤️❤️❤️❤️‼️

Thankyou again
Disclaimer: This is not aimed at you personally, Wheatie, or at anyone else. Also, I love both dogs and cats. And this is not to take from the hero dog.
“On the way to battle, you’ll never hear, “Wish we had a cat.'”
…or a parrot, or a gerbil, or a potbellied pig, etc. Every animal has its own characteristics, and cat haters unfairly talk about cats as if they should be just like dogs. That’s like saying that you’ll never hear a man on the way to the guys’ poker game wish his girlfriend/wife could come along (instead of his best buddy), or you’ll never hear a woman going on a shopping trip wish her boyfriend/husband were there (instead of her girlfriend who loves to shop).
Cats have a lot of good qualities that are completely unlike those of dogs. No, they don’t go into battle, but they have been known to save people’s lives on occasion, like alerting them that the house is on fire. Cats do not have an odor or require bathing. They can be quite comfortable at home without having to be let out or walked.
“The smallest feline is a masterpiece.” – Leonardo da Vinci
Mark Twain loved cats:
“I simply can’t resist a cat, particularly a purring one. They are the cleanest, cunningest, and most intelligent things I know, outside of the girl you love, of course.”
“If man could be crossed with the cat it would improve man, but it would deteriorate the cat.”
“When a man loves cats, I am his friend and comrade, without further introduction.”
It was probably aimed at those who claim that ‘Cats are better than Dogs’.
😉
I like cats too, btw.
I realize now that that was originally ozzy’s post. No matter; my reply was just a little defense of cats, who get an awfully bad rap, despite “Caturdays.”
And me. But horses for courses as they say
Which one is better than the other depends on what you want the animal to do for you, then there will be differences in how well they can perform their task, and thus one may be graded as better than the other.
As in the above, about not taking other animals than dogs into battle. Dogs have abilities that are useful there. But if I wanted the animal to be successful at catching mice, I’d choose a cat for that job.
There is the interesting difference between some animals such as dogs, cats, horses on one side, and cattle or sheep on the other. The former are closer to being considered people — I am reminded of a story in an old book (Sølvfaks, 1912) about an itinerant cat, and in that story, when he appeared at a farmhouse, he was welcomed as a real visitor. «People first, then cattle» as the farmer woman said, when a cow outside was mooing for attention.
“When a man loves cats, I am his friend and comrade, without further introduction.”
I believe that’s the instinctive moment – a man who loves a cat indicates a special kindness, caring.
My DH rescued a feral cat last year and I love to hear him talk to it every morning (even though it is usually 6 am when the cat comes in to wake him up!). A life-long lover of dogs, he’s crazy about this cat and indeed to me it shows a special kindness and caring.
One of my favorite sites is LoveMeow. com. Men figure prominently in a number of their kitty rescue stories. The construction worker, the guy on the way to work in his truck, the guy at the local garage, the fellow who crosses lanes of traffic to save a kitty, etc. etc. Many land up keeping the kitty they rescued – never realizing they were “Cat” persons! 😂
It may well depend on the breed for cats. I’m allergic, at least to Siamese, but I’ve met some big, American breed cats that were a lot like dogs. And they always seem to find me, too. My one voice teacher had a cat that liked NO ONE, and one afternoon she came into the studio and started rubbing herself on me. Same thing with dogs.
See DePat they know you .. 😉🤚❤️
In Scripture, several verses state that (paraphrased) your spirit precedes you. Meaning that you can be perceived as good or evil on a level unrelated to anything you are doing. It is also true for animals. Some cats and dogs have evil spirits attached to them, and their behavior usually matches. The cat that liked no one but you simply means IMO that you were the first genuine person the cat encountered. Others, even if they behaved properly, were not as they appeared. The cat sensed it and avoided those people.
Most cats, dogs and babies are pleased with my presence. Which I appreciate.
God has blessed you, DP. Wallow in it.
Yeah…I have been called a baby whisperer despite not having any of my own.
Truthfully, I think it’s an energy thing. There have been dogs who have not gone on the attack, but did not like my presence, all females, actually. I guess I was a threat in some way even it I had not met them before.
But after the battle, a cat is a comfort for our brave warriors.

Cats have been kept aboard ships since ships were built, to kill the rats and for sailors’ morale.

That’s so sweet.
😊🥰👍
I seem to remember reading stories of WWII where cats were sent into tight quarters (think duct-type Situations) to reconnoiter or perform other functions.
No, not the enter and destroy persona of dogs ( and I would want one at my side, as well) but the more subtle and unheralded function of spying. “Sneaky like a cat”. 😼
And, let’s never forget the lowly carrier pigeon’s vital role in past wars! Alas, no medals for them!
Au contraire. We’ve created thousands of places for pigeons to crap all over the world.
We call them statues.
Hey, pigeons are an international sign of civilization, you know.
Again you rescue my post

… uhhhhh to late mr. puzzleman … boom 💥
John Minford, #SunTzu 10: 4 “‘Deadlock’ means that neither side finds it advantageous to make a move. On deadlock terrain, even if our enemy offers a bait, we do not make a move; we lure him out; we retreat. And when half his troops are out, that is our moment to strike.”
Not sure why, but this verse was a bit harder for me to catch, today, than in quite some time. Maybe it’s partly because our commentators don’t seem to break it down for us very well, and I saw no concrete illustrations of the actual tactics described. I hate that.
So, back to my usual tricks:
1) Neither side can move well.
2) Don’t accept any bait proffered.
3) Lure the enemy out craftily.
4) Retreat, until half his troops our out.
5) Strike with confidence for victory.
You should see how my shoulders dropped and I breathed out happily once I could see my lovely little list of five elements. I don’t know, it just makes me feel like I understand, or maybe am beginning to understand. You know?
Let’s try a business example, first. You’re the best salesman on your team. You know your boss is taking heat over how much money the company is paying you and is angling to cut your territory or your commission rate, or maybe even fire you.
You know upper management will absolutely NOT back you, even if they’re no big fan of your weak, primarily political boss. Part of you is tempted, though, to walk in and show them what a great job you could do if they fired him and hired you. DON’T DO IT!
Even if you don’t get fired – you probably will – you surely will pick up no points and would most likely set yourself up for a coming smackdown. No, no! Rather, get creative. First, do an analysis of your territory and – NOT telling anyone about this – see where you can improve.
Seriously, identify your record month and go beat it, even if just by a percentage point or two. Then write the humblest memo thanking your boss for his tremendous support in helping you best your previous record. He is certain to take the glory, and you should be very happy.
Now, look around your team. Identify the one other salesman that shares the best chemistry with you. Take him out for lunch, you pay. Tell him you’ve had some thoughts about how his territory might offer some leverage he might want to consider. Help him build a plan.
Be clear, I’m NOT talking about faking anything here. You can always give credit up. You can always find a way to help a lateral or subordinate to improve performance. Document your work. Make the other guy look better than you. You will escape the deadlocked territory.
But what about a genuine bad guy boss, one really out to get you right now? Again, similar tactics will assure you success. Document everything. Write careful, solid reports. Improve your own performance and others’ too. And wait for your bad guy boss to reveal himself.
If your performance is on the upswing, it will be your performance that protects you. And, if that fails and you do get canned, your documentation assures you the ability to find a new and better job. That too is stepping back and luring your enemy half way out of the terrain.
Who remembers the movie Kingdom of Heaven with Orlando Bloom? There’s a great scene in which, having bested his enemy but shown him mercy, his enemy tells him that all his enemies will know his color. That’s part of how you win political battles at work. They all know your color.
All good souls around the world today celebrate the death of Abu Baghdadi. I watched a fair bit of analysis over the day, and here’s something I did not hear. The only audience for Impeachment that matters are the Republican Senators. Trump lured them out of deadlock today.
Like any other group in the world, the only thing that matters is their own prediction of victory, in this case, victory 2020. As long as Republican Senators feel victory is in the wings, they can then consider supporting Trump. You could hear the joy in their voices today.
I try to make my real predictions on the basis of data, but I always end up making early predictions just by analysis alone. On that basis, while I’ve thought it all along, I have to say that today really was the turning point for 2020 victory. I believe Trump did it again.
And how? He retreated out of deadlocked terrain between Syria and Turkey and lured all his opponents in. Then, and you know he knew he would, he takes out Baghdadi to universal acclaim. What’s more, he shows the world he’s no wimp, and in the best possible way.
Can’t you see him back in the Oval Office saying, “Pence, where’s that Diet Coke I asked you to hold for me?” Oh, and the press. 35 minutes following a-10 minute speech. Did you hear Howie Kurtz say that no other President, ever, would have done that? Oh yeah.
And if you were listening, did you hear the respectful tones not only from each questioner, but from the entire room? This is EXACTLY what Master Sun means when he tells us to lure the enemy out, wait till half his troops have advanced, and that’s the moment to strike.
You have to admit, it’s just inspiring, don’t you?
Then you’ll enjoy Cates’ thread. I’m in agreement. Durham’s work goes back much further than folks think.
https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1189345009297965056.html
Whopping good thread – esp. this part:
“Members of Congress on both sides of the aisle have been stridently demanding that the DOJ cough up to them the key SpyGate evidence so they can…what?
Watchdog groups like Judicial Watch and Fake News Media outlets like the NYT’s and Washington Post file lawsuits trying to compel the DOJ to hand over the key SpyGate evidence so they can…what?
Well so they can take 3 years of careful investigating without any real leaks, and three years of careful preparation by serious professional investigators and
SHITCAN IT and flush it all down the toilet.
And you can quote me on that.
Members of Congress want it so they can publicize it to the entire world just as fast as they can get their hands on it by leaking it to the news media. So they can run for reelection on it.
So they can leak bits & pieces to drive the narratives they want to sell.
Judicial Watch wants it so Fitton can pound his rather muscular chest & strike a heroic pose and act like he’s the only one doing any investigating since Sessions, Barr, Durham, Horowitz & other dedicated public servants supposedly haven’t been doing their jobs or something.
While he does a lot of good stuff, Fitton is **smart enough** to know why he can’t have key grand jury material & evidence from ongoing investigations no matter how many times he files FOIA requests or many times he goes on TV complaining the DOJ won’t give it to him.
And the NYT’s and the Washington Post file this stuff because they are complicit players in the SpyGate target leaks and they want to force the DOJ to show it’s hand.
None of these people are getting what they wanted, so they sell alternative narratives to the public why.”
I just reread it. It’s a great thread. Cates has been held to this theory from the beginning. Nothing I’ve seen refutes his logic. It’s clear the Leaks did stop. Heck, no one knew the Ops that was intended post Syrian “pullout.”
Letting anyone, even our own side, know about investigations is the surefire way to ruin it completely. Evidence gets destroyed, and forget about getting an indictment or conviction. Entire cases have been blown because the wrong people were able to snake their way out of trouble once they learned details.
Exactly right!
Much of the Judicial Watch activity is theater. Fitton knows he won’t get some of the stuff he asks for, but he kicks up a fuss because the controversy will create attention and the attention will let us know this stuff is important. It helps highlight the underlying activity.
I read Brian religiously. Subscribe to his conclusions reall the players.
Been reading more from this guy and it’s great stuff. Each post is a quote from sun tzu and a real life example and as applied to Potus and maga. Very enlightening
Ozzy, yes I did hear a noticeable change in the tone of questions from the reporters. I wasn’t watching all or fully, more just listening as I was doing other things, so wasn’t sure if it was the usual WH press corps or State Department (who tend to be a more intelligent group, IMO)…but there WAS a difference.
It’s dawning on them that they’ve either been suckered or are going to be exposed as willfull participants in this shit show

That Vindman guy seems OBSESSIVE with his “CONCERN” about stuff that is LEGITIMATE DOJ INTEREST.

I’m hoping that they recorded that call.
Now that this Vindman guy has claimed that things were changed in the transcript…playing a recording of it is the only way to prove him wrong.
And yeah, there is something creepy about this guy.
He looks like a member of the, um, MBL and/or rainbow crowd.
Guaranteed all these calls are recorded, for both the President’s protection and the party on the other end of the phone calls. Foreign policy discussions are always a diplomatic dance.
This Vindman guy must have had his way paved… By this I mean – Ukranian or Russian-Ukrainian? 20 years and Lt. Colonel rank? That means getting security clearances not usually allowed to foreign born members of service – especially with the Russian attachment possibility.
This will fall under his military command, unless POTUS takes it over. Court-martial, Article 2. UCMJ
Just a note to our readership that HEADER FONTS are not something we can customize in terms of SIZE. The size is apparently a hardcoded part of the basic theme.
Header Fonts?
I’ve never tried to add lettering to the Header…and wouldn’t even know how.
Well, I could add something to the image, I guess…and then that would show up in the Header if it was within the center area.
I meant the title. I should have said that. Can’t change the SIZE of the font. We could change the font, but not the size.

this morning on the local news they ran a story about “No Shave November” —guess that’s NORMALLY a man thing…well now they are challenging WOMEN to not shave their MUSTACHES this month–that’s right encouraging women to GROW mustaches in support of men’s health this month. the story showed commercial segments showing women combing their ‘staches!!!!
what in the blue blazes????????
Women I know either pluck or wax their mustaches. Shaving is for legs and underarms, and some ladies wax and/or pluck their legs too – remember the Epilady?
OUCH!!!!! I sure do remember the epilady…darn thing hurt like the dickens!
I agree on the pluck or wax part–the commercial even showed a woman with the papers on her upper lips (from waxing)…I was just appalled at the whole idea…they weren’t advocating for not shaving your underarms or legs–but your upper lip…
I was going to say…I just go to the salon, lay on the table, and my friend J pulls it out by the roots. After you have it done a few times, it doesn’t grow back much.
When I go to a salon I ask for a bikini wax. They always refuse.
Smart move on their part.
And if they’re smart they’ll get a restraining order. 🙂
There is a move afoot to blur the difference between the sexes. It’s diabolical.
it is.
And the other reason. What culture is all about men having beards? Creeping into the US culture, bit by bit.
In the 19th century, American men had beards.

Oh no! As if there is not enough traffic already!
https://twitter.com/ZonePhysics/status/1189362184754749440
All part of the plan. If ever you got to DC, you will see pedestrians who wander into traffic whilst staring at their phones, pedestrians who pay walk purposefully into or toward the street in order to disrupt flows, and bicycles, scooters, and segweys all infringing on the traffic lanes. This was all implemented on purpose to make driving less efficient and more frustrating.
They’re doing it all over, especially where the roads were laid out before cars were a thing. In this part of town, the arteries are not very wide, and several intersections are in bad places. And the cyclists just get in the way.
To add to the congestion, most neighborhoods are private, so cross streets are gated off, and there’s not many straight line short cuts.
Of course, in my subdivision that was done for safety reasons. Open up the gates, and the cross county zooming is really dangerous.
so Schiff claimed the Repubs WERE allowed to question witnesses, but then just yesterday, Schiff told Vindman NOT to answer Jordan’s question—Jordan asked Vindman who he spoke to after the July phone call–Jordan claims they need to know who to call as witnesses—Schiff told Vindman NOT to answer…WTF???

Rep. Jeff Van Drew (D-NJ) said Tuesday that he will likely vote against a resolution by House Democrats to formalize their secret impeachment inquiry against President Donald Trump, prompting more uncertainly around whether Thursday’s expected vote will go on as planned.
Asked by NBC News reporter Alex Moe if he supports the measure, Van Drew replied: “I would imagine that I’m not voting for it.” Van Drew, whose district President Trump won in 2016, is among roughly a dozen House Democrats who oppose the impeachment inquiry. “I have long maintained the position that the impeachment or potential impeachment would not be good for Democrats or Republicans,” the lawmaker told Fox News in September.

The impeachment business is a farce, a partisan political attack and illegal as hell – kinda like Øbastard spying on Trump, his transition team and his family. Kinda like the Ø administration using government agencies and media as partisan political weapons. Spit.
so those “computer cables” pictured in the room when POTUS was watching the Bag Daddy thing go down might have another meaning…BWAHAHAHAHA
How silly of me. I brushed off the tangled mess as sloppiness.
I thought it looked like a bomb myself.
could be…and it could be just a mind fake to screw with the Dems–and that’s fun to think about too…
Thought the same thing, but I’m not tech oriented so wouldn’t know the difference – EXCEPT, that we don’t usually see all the hardware when events are filmed with POTUS – even a Situation Room would have that stuff out of the visual field. POTUS had it front and center.
Tracy was very astute, and once again, POTUS messages without us realizing. 🙂

There’s NEVER anything casual about the tweets. There’s a message there somewhere.
Uppercase “EVERYBODY” – would appear to be a message too. They got the goods?
“We’ll see what happens” as a wise man is known for saying. The suspense…

is the meat we buy already halal? don’t we have a right to know?????
FTA
The Dearborn Public Schools website states it matter-of-factly: “Dearborn Public Schools ensures all meats served in our schools are certified Halal.” Now one courageous mother is fighting back, challenging Dearborn public school officials to explain why they have done this and to provide options for students who object to halal food.
The mother wrote to Dearborn schools superintendent Glenn Maleyko, noting, “Schools have never changed lunches to fit any other religious needs. If one needed a special diet due to religion or health, they did what all other students do, bring a lunch from home.”
Maleyko responded: “The decision was based on operational considerations only, not religion. By implementing an all Halal meat option we have increased the number of students that we are serving[.] … It would cost a lot more to provide both Halal and non-Halal meat.”
In the long run, the superintendent will find it far, far costlier to have capitulated to Islamic supremacism and set this precedent.
Dearborn’s actions here should be a matter of concern for all free people. This is a manifestation of the Left’s absolute march, without consideration or question, toward exclusionary, supremacist practices that any genuinely pluralistic society should reject. Dearborn Public Schools officials are demonstrating a totalitarian assuredness in the delusional comfort of enlightenment, diversity, and inclusion. They’re in for an unpleasant surprise: they’re accommodating a radically non-diverse, non-inclusive.

More on Dr. Baden talking about Epstein death.
Really rather stunning that these comments made it to national television.
After an interview such as that, I fear that it might be Dr. Baden himself who may be at risk.
Publicity is his best protection, actually.
Too bad they didn’t get forensic samples from the guards. I have a very good idea of about three possibilities of how the CIA / Mossad / whoever would pull off the sleeping guards trick.

I’m not sure if this has been posted yet.
That tweet is part of a very good thread. Here is the threadunwrap:
https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1189345009297965056.html
So it really makes me wonder when we were all engaged in the Sessions ‘discussions’ OT, those against Sessions were always telling the pro-Sessions folks that PDJT doesn’t tweet what he doesn’t mean. For example all of PDJT’s tweets about do-nothing Sessions, we were told that he really, really meant those!
Perhaps not; could have been a huge misdirection. To this day Sessions would not have been capable of conducting the current Barr investigation because of his early Trump support. Just look at what they are doing to Barr, Sessions would have been a thousand times worse.
It would not surprise me that eventually we find out that Sessions resigning was part of Barr coming on board since he was nominated and approved is relatively short time.
another factor: WE now know that in addition to POTUS, Ted Cruz was being spied on, and Sessions also. Sessions had to recuse from investigating as he himself was being investigated by what was then Comey’s FBI.
We’ll our Austere Religious Scholar whom we dearly respect must understand that without ‘all of players that want to continuously have Spy Gate evidence coughed up so they can do what with’ would not have had enough of the people rallying behind the president to keep Deep State from Deep Sixing the President by impeachment. Everyone plays a part and I’m sure he knows this. Puts this down to him wanting to blow his own horn as he is deservingly entitled too.

HEAVEN ON EARTH
Michael Youssef, Ph.D.
Oct 29, 2019
faith hope heaven eternity
Have you ever known anyone who went to the airport to catch a flight and decided to live in the plane permanently? Sound crazy? Unfortunately, this is the attitude many Christians have regarding heaven. Without much thought given to our eternal destination, how many of us spend most of our time, energy, and money planning our future for this life on earth?
Many who recite the words of the Lord’s Prayer, “Our Father who art in heaven,” never stop and think about heaven. In Psalm 19, heaven is used to describe the unending realm of the constellations. In 2 Corinthians 5 and Revelation 21, heaven is referred to as a definite place, a new Jerusalem, and a home prepared for God’s children.
Our heavenly Father is very much in heaven, but we can experience a little bit of heaven on earth right now because our Lord walks and talks with us. Nothing escapes His watchful eye. He is especially interested in us and dwells in the hearts of those who trust and believe in His Son.
When you are expecting friends that you love and enjoy, you anticipate the moment when they will arrive. As children of God, we will be in heaven with our Lord, who is longing for our coming.
When the apostle Paul thought of heaven, he longed to be there. He said, “I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far; but it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body” (Philippians 1:23-24).
Can you honestly say today that you share Paul’s sentiment? Are you longing for the time when you will be face to face with the Savior? If you find this question difficult to answer, stop and reflect on the goodness of God. Imagine being in His glorious presence apart from all sorrow, pain, and strife. Now, lift your praises to Him for His unending love and incomparable faithfulness.
Prayer: Lord help me to turn my thoughts away from the troubles of this world and toward my incredible future with You. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.
“Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful” (Colossians 4:2).
“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” Psalm 34:18
Really? Oh, wow!

BTW, OT has a post where it’s said that Schiffty is preventing Vindman from answering questions or he’s telling him what to say. Vindman is active duty military – POTUS can have that guy answering questions to his military commanders in a heartbeat – and Shiffty has no say. Won’t even take a Senate hearing to deal with this guy.
Yep…Devin Nunes, Jim Jordan and Matt Gaetz have been railing about it since yesterday.
Schiffty was coaching Vindman on what to say, as well as telling him not to answer the questions from the Republicans who were there.
And Vindman also probably broke the law, by talking to people about that call back when it was classified…before Pres Trump declassified it.

Gordon Chang knows…that China’s Belt & Road projects are a TRAP.
It’s part of the ChiComs plan to use economic conquest to achieve world domination.
I’ve posted before my view that the Chinese loans underlying much of the develop of these ports and railroads and whatnot are mechanisms to allow them to take control (if not ownership). Loans are made on terms the borrowers cannot repay, and when the loans default, China uses international banking laws to take the collateral.
Obviously, this only works because Chinese banks do not follow Western bank capital and loan reserve rules. In other words, they are not banks.
Capitalized at over 40 trillion.
About 4XX’s their GDP.
And they run 10% deficits.
And they’ve printed about 45 trillion in paper in the past 15 years.
The USA has about a 20-22 trillion dollar economy and about 20 trillion (the banks not the FED).
It would be as if we all owed about 4XX’s more than we already owe.

Joe Biden was refused Communion in South Carolina on Sunday because of his support for abortion.
From Fox News:
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/biden-on-being-denied-communion-im-a-practicing-catholic-i-practice-my-faith
Biden had no comment, but the pastor did:
“Sadly, this past Sunday, I had to refuse Holy Communion to former Vice President Joe Biden,” Rev. Robert Morey said in a statement on Monday. “Holy Communion signifies we are one with God, each other and the Church. Our actions should reflect that. Any public figure who advocates for abortion places himself or herself outside of Church teaching. As a priest, it is my responsibility to minister to those souls entrusted to my care, and I must do so even in the most difficult situations. I will keep Mr. Biden in my prayers.”
Here’s a good thread (excerpted) on why Communion is refused in the Catholic Church to those not in full communion. The Scripture citation is 1 Corinthians 11:29:
https://twitter.com/FrHilderbrand/status/1189232222492082177
https://twitter.com/FrHilderbrand/status/1189234191155773443
https://twitter.com/FrHilderbrand/status/1189235587510878211
Now, the very same thing needs to be applied to Pelosi (especially!) and other Congress members who are only Catholics during campaign season. Not limited to Catholics, of course.
I have no problem if you chose to leave your church once you’ve reached maturity and can seek your own beliefs (after all, most religion is “inherited”, not consciously selected), but I personally have a problem with not adhering to the Creed of that religion if you choose to stay.
For me, it’s similar to marriage…you follow the rules, the pledge you take…. and leave if you choose not to do so.
Cheating is cheating….IMO. I’m very glad there’s a priest willing to take a stand….(and only hope he doesn’t have his own personal issues.)
In Catholicism, it’s really up to the sinner to be honest enough NOT to present themselves. I know a lot of people who attend Mass weekly, but do not present themselves for Communion out of respect for the Sacrament.
THAT is what Biden, Pelosi, and the rest do not display in their practice of Faith. Heck, without publicly denouncing some of their stances, they can’t even be given true absolution.
“Up to the sinner to be honest”…an oxymoron if ever I heard one! LOL
It’s possible. My dirty old man blue dog Democrat friend is one who does not receive. But, HE’S HONEST about it. That’s the difference.
Agree 110% on not limiting this to Catholics! Thank you for that.
Fully agree with the rest. We cannot choose what rules we like and leave the rest.
As for Pelosi, it all got a bit complicated, with no solution.
In 2009, then-Pope Benedict XVI personally gave her an excommunication warning in private about her pro-abortion stance:
http://www.renewamerica.com/columns/gaynor/090220
Four years later, in 2013, she and Biden went to Francis’s installation as pope. Both received Communion, but from deacons, as the new ‘pontifex’ did not distribute the sacrament to dignitaries:
https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/pro-abortion-biden-and-pelosi-receive-communion-but-not-from-pope-at-inaugu
In September 2013, Cardinal Burke said that Pelosi should not be allowed to receive Communion because of her stance on abortion:
https://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/michael-w-chapman/vatican-chief-justice-nancy-pelosi-must-be-denied-communion
It’s up to individual pastors now, and I doubt that will happen. That said, the matter now lies between her and the Almighty. I’d rather deal with a Cardinal or Pope in this life than a Higher Judge in the next.
Heheh.

Excellent post Pat……………….
To me, the main problem with people who have outside-the-main-stream sexual proclivities that are unknown to the people who elected them is BLACKMAIL. Any foreign adversary or political hack can OWN you.
IF this woman disclosed her behavior before she was elected and was anyway, fine. But this hidden bullshit is ripe for exploitation. Sleeping with a subordinate got her out of the House, but if you have to lie and cover up your lifestyle to get elected, you don’t belong there, period.
so, indirectly, OBAMA and MOOCHELLE are responsible now for climate change because they’re causing Netflix to be so popular? LOL LOL LOL
FTA
Climate change religionists have found a new thing to get all mad at because it is “destroying” the earth: Netflix.
Global warming activists are now targeting Netflix as yet another cause of climate change, according to the New York Post.
The activists are claiming that Netflix is “a waste of resources at all levels.”
Trending: Jamie Lee Curtis Defends Killed ISIS Leader Baghdadi
The globaloneyists also say, “watching a half-hour show via an on-demand video app emits 1.6 kilograms of carbon dioxide into the environment — the equivalent of driving almost 4 miles, according to Maxime Efoui-Hess of Paris-based nonprofit the Shift Project.”
https://godfatherpolitics.com/enviro-activists-now-claiming-netflix-is-causing-climate-change/
Netflix can thank THEM for all of the customers they are losing…Climate change? The Climate will change dramatically when those two leave permanently.
Well, by then the money-laundry transaction will have been completed (you can be assured the Obamas has their payment up front)…so it really won’t matter if they go under…mission accomplished.
Guess that includes the money from the Presidential Library as well, eh, Tea?
They are reading a money grab. Demonize out fits like Netflix in the name of climate change and then they can tax it or demand payments to shut up. Likely both.

Wonder if this fire will morph into the steel melting type that the Paradise fire was and completely obliterate the library?
I’ll never believe that all of this is nature only. Within just a few short miles from where I live the Witch Creek fire in 2007 was incredibly destructive but no melted steel rims or asphalt. There are plenty of images of the aftermath ( poway witch creek fire images )
Yet in 2018 natural fires have somehow gotten hotter ? How ? Forget the laser theory or any of that but only compare images….

Yep…there was a lot about those fires that was Not Normal.
We have wildfires here in OK too…the high winds even create ‘fire-nadoes’ sometimes.
And I’ve never seen anything like what happened last year in CA.
It’s a troubling thing to actually believe (me) that there are entities willing and able to create lethal destruction whether it’s fires or shooting events and possibly weather ( hurricanes)..I’m not sure about that one though.
It is troubling… and it is healthy that we are troubled …
But we must not deny facts because they require changing our mindsets………..
cognitive dissonance is a troubling thing… too!

Creepy Joe…a history of corruption.
Today as I was out and about I heard from Rush show some excerpts about Alexander Vindeman’s statements at the Congress Schiff farce. Vindeman said paraphrased ” that he was so concerned about the phone call with Ukraine that he shared with his brother.”
Vindeman’s brother a twin in a lawyer in for the NSA I believe sitting in the WH. I now wonder if the whistle blower
is Vindeman’s brother? That would explain his lawyer perfected paperwork?
My thoughts exactly the other day when I read that very same thing
Ah…..I was unaware of that……oh, the webs they weave!!!!
I also as immigrant do not like dual citizenship.
Vindman has dual citizenship. Where is the loyalty and why have two?
Also if he wanted to change the Ukraine transcript to fit his narrative no wonder the WH moved it on secure computer. The Intel community are not our friends their loyalty is in globalism and democrat socialism.
I never really contemplated the issue in depth but I would think, as a minimum, no-one with dual citizenship should be able to serve in the armed forces, intelligence or a government seat. Just looking from an overall view. I don’t think it is necessarily bad to allow dual citizenship among the overall citizenry, tho.
When I became a citizen I embraced US citizenship. I was pledged my loyalty to the USA and also pledged that I would defend and help with defending this country if I am ask to serve whatever it is. How can one do this when one has loyalty to two countries?
I have seen children of immigrants torn between two countries. Kids were homesick to Germany because parents send them every summer to grandparents. I never wanted that for my kids and did not do that. I have to confess I am very much black and white and it is one or the other.
I have NEVER understood why US allows dual citizenship… look at Congress, FULL of them.
I look at it this way: although I lived in NOVA for almost 30 years, I was ALWAYS a Husker, always with the intent to return at some point. Were I to live in another country and acquire citizenship for one reason or another, I would NEVER want to give up my US citizenship, anymore than I gave up my NE citizenship. So, there is that…..
That is why I waited 45 years to become a US citizen to make sure that in my heart I could pledge loyalty to the US.
Filly—Husker first, American second! 🤷🏻♀️❤️🎈❤️🇺🇸

McConnell Says Impeachment Resolution Makes Schiff ‘a de Facto Special Prosecutor’
https://www.theepochtimes.com/mcconnell-says-impeachment-resolution-makes-schiff-a-de-facto-special-prosecutor_3131895.html
The Dems could care less if anything they do is legal. They have an obsession to impeach President Trump so they can have any chance to win the 2020 election.
Besides, they’re still angry the Republican House voted to impeach Bill Clinton in 1998.
And they’re still angry Hillary lost the 2016 election.
It’s all about revenge and cheating to win.
Poor guy…
The ABA tried to torpedo this Trump judicial nominee, by putting out a false statement about him.
Judge VanDyke felt so betrayed that he was brought to tears.
.
The ABA should be called the American Leftist Bar Assn.
It’s disgusting.
The Left has become amoral. They lie for any gain. They destroy people without any shame. Fascists . .
.
That is what socialists do. They have no ethical compass except their ideology that overshadows everything in their life.
This SHIT right here HAS to stop. Here and NO further. These fools have been able to run rough shod on too many good men and women for too damn long. It is TIME to put their considerable shoe on the other foot. Release it ALL Mr. President, let the chips FALL where they may. Sometimes when something is THIS bad, we need to just “burn” it down and START over. Indict them ALL…even the lowly that participated.
NO more of this BULLSHIT. Time to let them feel the HEAT. Time for THEM to be destroyed, have THEIR lives ruined, have THEIR reputations besmirched, have THEIR livelihood taken, and have THEIR freedom forfeited.
I applaud Gaetz for doing something, but I have questions about where this could go…into a long investigation by the Ethics Committee? Do they have the power to remove Schiff from his position running the impeachment sham? Or will the Ethics Committee hand down some kind of censure that changes nothing? At this point I’d like to see Schiff hauled out in handcuffs, but that’s not going to happen.
maybe not—but he’s doing something–and bringing it out intot he public eye which rules he’s violating–stuff like that…
Not with the Dems in charge of the House – pretty much symbolic only but at least it’s something…..JMO – others probably know more than I.
Schiff filed an ethics complaint (bogus) on Nunes. Nunes was FORCED to give up his chairmanship until it was resolved (6 months). Equal justice dems…we ARE watching. Remember when you GIVE no quarter, you will RECEIVE none back.
Paul Ryan allowed it to happen because he is neck deep in trying to take down TRUMP.
Yep, posted on my blog about the original plan to impeach Trump AND Pence to get a president Ryan….Why ELSE do you think Ryan, arguably the 2nd or third most powerful republican RETIRED from CONGRESS at such a young age.
NONE of them give up THAT much power “willingly”
Amen
This is the problem: who is going to enforce it? Piglosi won’t support it.
I thought the “ethics” committee, was independent. Wasn’t that committee ALMOST done away with when Trump first took office, until the dems used it against Republicans that supported Trump?
IDK – no doubt, you know more about it than I probably do. But if the “ethics” committee is under control of the House…….and the Dems control the House…..*shrug*
Ethics committee made up of 5 each D/R. Hung jury?
https://ethics.house.gov/about/committee-members
Good for Matt Gaetz!
😀👍
Unfortunately, it means nothing! And that’s the sad part. Totally out of control…no accountability, forget the Rules not only of Congress but basic legality (intimidation of witnesses, etc). Surely, there is some group within Congress with authority to stop this lawlessness.
We know, of course, Pelosi will do nothing. Is she the ultimate authority and no recourse?
If the GOP is barred from entering the committee room, despite the Rules can not the Sargent at Arms be called in to enforce the Rules? None of this ever came up in my Poli Sci classes!
Well, of course. Who else can we blame it on?

Jerry Brown Blames Trump, Republicans for California Fires: ‘The Blood Is on Your Soul’
https://www.breitbart.com/environment/2019/10/30/jerry-brown-blames-trump-republicans-for-california-fires-the-blood-is-on-your-soul/
Loony Liberals are such a joke. How they remember to breathe i beyond me.
Democrat corruption, unconcern and incompetence are to blame for not planning and implementing fire prevention measures.
Such as:
– Removing dead trees and cutting brush around populated areas.
– Zoning creating buffer zones around towns and neighborhoods
– Irrigate buffer zones around neighborhoods during droughts
– Desalinization plants to provide water for irrigation
– Planting buffer zones with deep root drought resistant evergreen plant species to prevent fires in autumn and mudslides in rainy seasons
LOTS can be done.
Think of the jobs too! :8-)
LOTS can or could be done – but not with corrupt greedy loony Democrats in charge.
That most likely means it was the Dems or Cabal that set or had set those fires…Rex’s axiom…ANYTHING the Dems blame on Trump, means THEY are guilty of it…PROJECTION…ALWAYS.
Dear Santa… :).
i’d take a classic any day….
http://i704.photobucket.com/albums/ww44/auctionsandbeyond/1967%20Ford%20Mustang%20Convertible%20Brittany%20Blue/101_2514.jpg
A world of difference between the two. Of course there’s more than 50 years of development between them as well.
I’d probably just get in trouble and lose my drivers license with the Shelby GT500.
I was at a driving school at Virginia International Raceway several years ago and saw a guy wreck a brand new Rousch RS on his warm up lap. Apparently he goosed it coming out of turn 6 and into the uphill Ss (I love the uphill Ss), lost it, bounced the back end of his car off the wall on the inside of turn 6 and as he careened back onto the track, hit another (lesser) Mustang that was behind him. The Roush RS appeared to be a total loss.
And for QTreepers who may not know, the vast majority of insurance policies for road cars do not cover damage on a track. You can purchase event specific insurance for your vehicle, but not for other damage you may cause (other cars you may hit, facilities you damage, etc.). I talked to one of Roush RS driver’s buddies the next day; he was not insured.
When operating powerful and dangerous machinery, I follow the wisdom of the Austere Philosopher and Scholar (Dirty) Harry Callahan: “A man’s got to know his limitations.”
An uninsured crash like that would tend to hurt financially for a long, long time.
I’m glad I got all the go-fast out of my system when I was a teenager.
AND, fortunately we survived unscathed.
i agree on the differences…i just like the classic look better…
Sorry…I like AC and push button windows! And, having had a sports car, with gear shift, and living in a NJ shore community with stop signs every short block….that cured me of the “romance” of gear shifts! 😉
Teagan I love stick shift and cried when I had to have automatic.
What I love about the stick shift is one can feel he road and one is really driving. One can feel how fast one is going and it is not boring on long stretches when on the road.
I now drive a Subaru with turbo and all mechanics love the car. At the dealership one mechanic wants to work on the car and never lets anyone touch it.
Stick-shift or bust. 👍
It’s the difference between driving and coasting.
When driving a manual transmission, the car is more like an extension of you. You are more ‘integrated’ with or in control over the machine. Nothing happens without your constant input and your input is constantly adjusted based on feedback from the machine. You are engaging both feet and both hands in the operation of the car.
As you said, you can ‘feel’ the road, and you can feel the machine working, as when you let off the gas, the drag of the engine slows down the car, where an automatic transmission feels like you’re coasting in neutral when you let off the gas.
With an automatic transmission, you are more isolated and insulated from the road, and from the driving experience itself.
All you really do is steer. Like a street legal golf cart.
For many people, an automatic transmission car is perfectly fine, all they could want or need. They may not care about performance or the ‘driving experience’ in the slightest, it’s just a means to get from point ‘A’ to point ‘B’.
For me, an automatic transmission takes most of the fun out of driving.
Besides having nothing for your left foot to do, and nowhere for your right hand to go, what bothers me most about automatics is the shift points.
Automatics NEVER shift when I would shift, either going up OR down through the gears.
And that really bothers me. It’s like driving school, when the instructor sat in the passenger seat and had a brake lever he could push, ‘just in case’.
Whenever the car shifts before I want it to (which is always, automatics never reach the same higher rpms I would with a manual transmission, before shifting), it’s like someone else is in the car changing gears, and I want to SMACK him.
😁
P.S. And another thing… when they put an automatic transmission in the car, they STEAL the tachometer. You can’t just REMOVE the tachometer. It’s supposed to go RIGHT NEXT to the speedometer.
Next thing you know, they’ll start removing all the other gauges too, and all we’ll have left is an idiot light…
Steve very good analogy driving stick shift.
Yes automatic is boring but having a turbo engine in my car helped me a little . I have never gotten a ticket I drive with the flow of traffic.
Miss the Autobahn 🙂
“I have never gotten a ticket I drive with the flow of traffic.”
________________
You are far braver than I am 😁
The only thing I trust less than Leftists is other drivers on the road. I drive in anticipation that they’re going to do something stupid, usually because they’re just not paying attention to DRIVING.
Driving with the flow (to me) is like driving on Talladega or Daytona speedway, side by side, bumper to bumper. One wrong move by anyone in the pack, and it wipes out everybody behind them. Except at least there, you know the other drivers and they’re all skilled enough to be on the track.
On the street, I have no idea who the other drivers are, or their level of skill, beyond what I can see with my own eyes, which is almost always NOT good 😁
So the two options are either go slower than the flow, or go faster, in order to spend as little time in or around ‘packs’ of cars as possible.
And slower is not really an option. Especially considering most people drive under the speed limit anyway — which just about kills me… at LEAST go the speed limit… please… I’m dyin’ back here, lol!
The connection you describe is precisely the reason I bought my son a car with a manual transmission when he first got his driver’s license. (He needed to replace the clutch and rebuild the suspension, so I was not being as generous as it may at first seem).
I taught him first about driving position (which nobody seems to think about these days) and clutch take up, driving with the tachometer in order to do rev matching which leads to a feel for shift points, and heel/toe downshifting. By far the best way to force a teenager to pay attention.
i can’t even drive a manual…lol…I just like the lines…but I hate power windows, heated everything…
hubby’s power window on the driver’s side quit working in one of his Grand Cherokees–and he had to replace the entire harness in the door–what an expense…I’d rather roll my own windows down…lol…and in my Jeep, I can take the door off if I want…
You must not have lived in the days or areas of toll baskets! Now, of course, there are transponders that deduct a toll fee automatically, but I dealt with the toss the exact coins in the baskets on the toll roads and even the bridges at the Jersey Shore. Between rolling my window up and down several times a day and shifting gears every block going through town…I was ready to give up my zippy little sports car for urban living.
I imagine the majority to today’s drivers have never driven a manual! In fact I know of a young woman who couldn’t get vehicles out of a garage in an emergency because she had no idea of how to drive them.
no, hubby wants to teach me…lol…not sure he has the patient needed.
I don’t frequent toll roads, but I have driven on them–I don’t mind…I am a wind in my hair kind of gal so I always rolls mine down…
Have we learned anything further on this development?

Did perhaps PDJT’s October 14, 2019 executive order on Syria influence the finances available for Israeli embassy operations worldwide?
Found this on that.
https://www.newsweek.com/israeli-embassies-consulates-close-diplomats-strike-higher-wages-1468594
Looks like it’s a breach of contract strike. From the Newsweek article:
The closures happened after Israel’s Ministry of Finance said it would make envoys pay back money they had already been reimbursed for expenses.
“Due to the decision of the Israeli Ministry of Finance to breach understandings that were agreed upon and signed by the Director General of the Ministry of Finance on July 21, 2019, and to apply a one-sided procedure that alters a protocol that has been in place for several decades, we are forced to close the diplomate mission,” read a statement. “No consular services will be provided and no one will be allowed to enter the Embassy/Consulate.”
“Israeli diplomats are committed at all times to strive to enhance Israel’s strength and resilience,” the statement continued. “Unfortunately, the decision of the Ministry of Finance does not leave us any choice but to take the above-mentioned action, since the vital interests of the State of Israel have been harmed. We hope that this crisis will be resolved as soon as possible.”
“This move is contrary to all proper, transparent and reasonable conduct and to the agreements reached between the parties,” said Defense Ministry chairman Sasson Peretz and Dana Benvenisti of the Foreign Ministry. “The Treasury is acting unilaterally and is imposing unacceptable conditions on us.”
I have seen that explanation. But it seems to me that the simultaneous closing of all diplomatic missions worldwide is a rather drastic result to have arisen from an expense reimbursement dispute, particularly since protection of the rights of citizens on foreign soil is a primary function of diplomat missions.
Perhaps I am overthinking this.
Ya. Something fundamentally stooped, closing all embassies worldwide, having nothing to do with security.
Problem, politics.
IIRC, Israel is still trying figure out who is their leader. Complicated business as I understand it.
I agree Kal……………. when they do figure it out, the leader will be a very weak one, with a patched up union of several parties, the total of which will be very weak.
I have also read speculation with regard to the following.
A) many of our crooked politicians (and others) have dual citizenship with Israel
B) closing all Israeli embassies makes it impossible for aforementioned crooked politicians (and others) to go to their nearest Israeli embassy and claim ‘asylum’, if the crooked politicians (and others) should suddenly be subject to arrest, en masse.
Probably just wishful thinking though.
And whilst I am soliciting opinions from my fellow QTreepers, what do people make of Judge Sullivan’s order in the Flynn case last night? Obviously, the Judge is telling Flynn that no new issues will be considered beyond those already raised.
On the other hand, the Judge ordered the government to respond to the issues Powell has raised, and to do so by November 1, even though the government argued they should not have been raised, are not material, or should otherwise be ignored.
I’m particularly interested in the Halper component of this. DOJ argues that Halper’s HUMINT activities prior to the time Flynn became PDJT’s National Security Advisor are not relevant to the issue of Flynn’s truthfulness during his interview about the Kislyak call. And in a very narrow sense, DOJ has a point (although I doubt the issue of how the 302 was edited, who did the editing and what were the edits is irrelevant).
And it does seem to me to be relevant that Flynn was under surveillance and that the FBI had a transcript of the Kislyak call before interviewing Flynn, which means they could not have been seeking information about what took place on the call and must have had another motive for the interview. The broader sweep of the activities against Flynn is indeed relevant to the question of what that motive may have been.

From Laura Loomer…..
Just as our Special Forces operators were engaged in a fight to take down the leader of an international terrorist group, a member of the United States House of Representatives stood on American soil, enthusiastically addressing and promoting a group that has been designated by the UAE as a “terrorist organization”.
The following day, two hours after President Trump announced the death of the leader of ISIS, this same member of Congress posted a picture on Instagram proudly wearing a shirt, blazoned with the logo of the same group that is linked to terrorism.
In that picture, this member of Congress is standing and smiling next to, Hassan Shibly, who has sued the Trump administration to defend a woman who joined ISIS and married TWO ISIS terrorists. This “ISIS Bride” also made the statement that she wanted to kill innocent Americans in the name of ISIS.
But it didn’t stop there.
After another few hours, this Congressperson, in an attempt to shift the narrative away from Islamic terrorism, which she enables, posted this on Twitter:
“We must confront the hateful ideology of white nationalism and treat it like the national security threat that it is.”
Want to take a guess who this elected member of Congress is?
.
.
.
You guessed it, Democrat Rep. Ilhan Omar.
If that’s not an attempt to send a message of support to our enemies, I don’t know what is.
This is why I am fighting to become a member of Congress. Your support is vital to make that happen.
My name is Laura Loomer, and I’m a Republican running for Florida’s 21st Congressional District.
I want to be able to stand on the floor of the House Chamber, live on CSPAN, and initiate a vote to EXPEL Ilhan Omar from Congress.
Our Constitution binds our elected officials to their oath of office.
Ilhan Omar, with her hand on the Quran, swore, “I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic . . .”
She has done the opposite, and should be the sixth person in the history of our Republic to be expelled from Congress.
If given the privilege to serve in Washington, I will expose Ilhan Omar and any other member of Congress who betrays their oath of office.
Following the guidelines of our Constitution, I will work to have trojan-horse enemies within, expelled from office.
Respectfully,
Laura Loomer
P.S. There has been a lot of chatter about “impeaching” members of Congress, but the Constitution makes it clear that members of the House or Senate can be expelled from office with a two-thirds vote. Only five members of Congress have ever been expelled from office. Ilhan Omar has betrayed her oath of office by openly supporting multiple terrorist organizations and terror-tied groups. Let’s make her the sixth Congressional expulsion in the history of our nation.
Imagine that.
Spit!
It’s possible that he’s just going there to blow up their little game.
I know a lot of people dislike Bolton, and I get the whole war-monger thing, but he also seems like a fairly normal guy on the occasions where I saw him on the old Greg Gutfeld late night show, ‘Red Eye’.
I would be very surprised if he was actually ‘out to get Trump’.
Not saying he isn’t, just that I would be surprised.
I’m with you. I’ll be surprised if that’s the case. He doesn’t seem like a never-Trumper moron, just a war-hawk.
Even money says Trump knows what it is.
Seriously, eminent domain is sounding better all the time.
Yeah, we need to kill off the notion of world government completely. I hope the demise of the UN is on PDJT’s to do list during his second term.
I love Charlie Kirk but he should understand that rounding up all the Muslims and separating them from the main population is the one good thing China is doing. Europe should be doing the same thing but they aren’t smart enough. We have constitutional rights to prevent us from doing that but we have deportation and we should use it. Send all the Muslims in the US back where they came from.
“I love Charlie Kirk but he should understand that rounding up all the Muslims and separating them from the main population is the one good thing China is doing.”

I’m certainly for getting islam quarantined and the practice outlawed according to Samuel Adams’ position that freedom of religion does not extend to tolerating subversion of the civil government:
……………………………..
Hanover College published “The Rights of the Colonists,” in which Adams wrote:
“In regard to religion, mutual toleration in the different professions thereof is what all good and candid minds in all ages have ever practised, and, both by precept and example, inculcated on mankind.
And it is now generally agreed among Christians that this spirit of toleration, in the fullest extent consistent with the being of civil society, is the chief characteristical mark of the Church. Insomuch that Mr. Locke has asserted and proved, beyond the possibility of contradiction on any solid ground, that such toleration ought to be extended to all whose doctrines are not subversive of society.
The only sects which he thinks ought to be, and which by all wise laws are excluded from such toleration, are those who teach doctrines subversive of the civil government under which they live.”

But China’s concentration camps are beyond sick in their cruelty, not to mention the organ harvesting. This is an article from an islamic Chinese survivor who escaped:
https://www.haaretz.com/world-news/.premium.MAGAZINE-a-million-people-are-jailed-at-china-s-gulags-i-escaped-here-s-what-goes-on-inside-1.7994216
It is this exact argument by Samuel Adams that should be the basis for outlawing islam.
So the Cabal is pro-Muzzie invasion of every Western nation in the world, and pro-Muzzie’s belong in concentration camps in China, because it promotes a stronger sense of happiness.
So this means that the U.N. must support Western Europe, Australia, Canadia and America putting Muzzies in concentration camps to promote a stronger sense of happiness too, correct?
What other rational conclusion could there be, that reconciles with the U.N.’s position toward China?
IDK if it is so much pro muslim as it is anti-Christian. I do think that needs to be considered.
“IDK if it is so much pro muslim as it is anti-Christian. I do think that needs to be considered.”
_______________
Definitely.
But the U.N. is the antithesis of a ‘moral body’ or beacon of ‘moral leadership’.
If the U.N. supports Chinese concentration camps for muzzies, it’s because the Chinese paid the U.N. members to take that position.
And the U.N. supports the mass invasion of muzzies into Western countries because that’s part of their Agenda 21 and other NWO agendas.
And the U.N. sees no conflict or hypocrisy at all between supporting concentration camps for muzzies in one country (China), while simultaneously encouraging muzzies by the tens of millions to run roughshod over every majority-white and/or majority Christian nation in the world.
The inherent hypocrisy shows that islam is truly just a tool being used by the Cabal. They will agree to suppress islam wherever it is in their own Cabal interest (financially or ideologically) to do so, and they will agree to promote islam wherever the Cabal wants to disrupt or destroy.
See, if we knew how to play the game as the Left does, this would be a golden opportunity, a dream gift from the enemy.
Someone like Soros would fund online trolls to start promoting camps for muzzies, pointing to the U.N. position on Muzzie camps in China.
The same financiers would organize rallies and protest groups all over America and Europe advocating for muzzies to be put in these camps, and pointing directly at the U.N. for their reasoning and justification, i.e., “don’t blame us, we’re just following the U.N. position!”.
This would FORCE media attention on the irreconcilable positions, put the corrupt U.N. on the hot seat, and the U.N. would fold up like a cheap tent under the pressure and reverse their position on support for Chinese concentration camps for muzzies.
But our side doesn’t understand how to do any of that, or why it would be effective.
Looks like little miss noodle head is using her time to spin more of the narrative on immigration.
she is in a lot of trouble………………. is there in cot in GITMO with her name on it?
I was thinking accommodations more like the prison in Papillon.
I’ve been sick of the way Congress berates witnesses for a long time, and that was the worst I’ve ever seen. I don’t know how he kept his cool. She should be in jail for the Awan scandal, (probably) orchestrating Seth Rich’s murder, and who knows what else. She spewed lies and wouldn’t allow him to state his side. There should be rules against that.
Pray for California.

If you haven’t been following the drama involving Charlie Kirk and Turning Point USA, then it’s time to start paying attention. A civil war on the Right is brewing. Long story short, Charlie Kirk/Turning Point USA has been hosting Q&As on college campuses for the last few days. A conservative social media star called Nick Fuentes encouraged his fans (who call themselves “Groypers”) to show up and ask Charlie Kirk uncomfortable questions about mass immigration and Israel. Charlie Kirk and others at Turning Point responded by calling them “trolls” and “racists.” Things are getting heated.
Paul Joseph Watson posted a video with a balanced explanation of the whole feud. I strongly recommend it:
https://twitter.com/PrisonPlanet/status/1189542712665620480
So why should you pay attention? Well, this entire thing smells like a Divide & Conquer tactic against the Right. This feud even has a name: “Gatekeeping Right vs. Dissident Right.” Yup, this only started recently and the term “Dissident Right” cropped up literally overnight just like “alt-right” did in 2016. Who came up with these names and why are they being pushed hard? This doesn’t feel organic.
The very best clown psy ops masters in the world on the job…when throat punching loses it’s appeal..time to go deeper
I knew nothing about any of this until about a day ago when I saw it mentioned on NeonRevolt. I have heard of Charlie Kirk, but know nothing about him or TPUSA (I think that’s the acronym for his organization).
FWIW, NeonRevolt appears to consider ‘Conservative Inc.’ (Charlie Kirk, Ben Shapiro, Steven Crowder, et al) as Cuckseravative NeverTrumpers and grifters. I don’t know anything about Kirk or Crowder, but Ben Shapiro was virulently NeverTrump leading up to the 2016 election.
From everything Paul Watson said about their views, ‘Conservative Inc’ is NOT ‘conservative’ at all, they’re Democrat Lite, Leftist wannabes, at best.
As for this being a ploy to divide, I suppose it could be, but then again, what is there to ‘divide’ from? It sounds to me like ‘Conservative Inc.’ / TPUSA is just controlled opposition for the Left, no different than UniParty RINOs bought off by the CoC.
At this point, it sounds like ‘Conservative Inc. / TPUSA’ needs to come clean on their positions regarding apparent unlimited immigration and all the gender insanity issues, and I don’t think they can, which is why instead they are just going to attack anyone who questions them.
Until ‘Conservative Inc. / TPUSA’ confronts the issues and answers the legitimate questions being asked by the alt-right challengers, the alt-right challengers are just going to grow in numbers and support, I suspect.
And it’s hard to see how that’s a bad thing at this point.
Well said. The mask really came off the phony conservatives today:
If this how they want to define conservatism, then good riddance.
I’m having trouble finding the right words at the moment, so I’ll just leave it at this. It’s not good for anyone but the Democrats to enter the next phase of the Presidential election with this giant shitshow on our side.
Just found an informative series of posts on this subject over at Neon Revolt:
This is one of the most recent, but there are at least 7 or 8 going back and forth on various aspects of ‘modern conservatism’ (Conservative, Inc., TPUSA) and the problems it presents.

#Cuckservative Charlie Kirk replied recently that “he didn’t care what two consenting adults did in their bedroom.”
That is a #Cuckservative talking point. Heck, it was an outright Leftist talking point 20 years ago. It’s what the likes of Bill Maher was peddling when he was still on ABC.
But beyond that, why is Charlie and all the other Cuckservatives wrong about this?
Because the natural, nuclear FAMILY is the foundation of the TRIBE.
And the TRIBE is the foundation of the STATE.
Degrade the integrity of the natural, nuclear family, and you fundamentally WEAKEN the state.
Homosexual relations do not produce families. They produce degradation, disease, promiscuity, and weakness. These are anathema to healthy communities.
But Cuckservatives are so far removed from any semblance of identity and place they can’t see this any more. Everyone is just an interchangeable human worker blob, and rubbing bits of flesh together to fire pleasure neurons in the brain in whatever configuration you like is just the order of the day. “Christian” Charlie Kirk conveniently abandons the Biblical mandate here, when pressed, because he’s too cowardly to risk offending some people.
He’d literally rather please masses of people, than God. By making “consent” the gold standard for sexual morality, Kirk has already given in to the Satanic madlibs played by Liberals.
Because if “consent” is the gold standard, the question then becomes:
“Who can consent?”
Can 10 year-olds consent?
And watch: all it would take to lead the masses down this path would be the media parading out a slew of individuals talking about all the “positive” sexual experiences they had as children, working it into narratives in movies and TV, and generally normalizing the idea until everyone was demoralized enough to just accept it.
That’s exactly what they did with the LGBT playbook. And that happened in about a decade, before an illegitimate Supreme Court rammed it through all 50 states.
I keep saying this, but people, you need to catch it: THE SLIPPERY SLOPE IS REAL.
Charlie Kirk is living proof of that. Because 10 years ago, he’d be a milquetoast Liberal with the kind of talking points he peddles. Meanwhile, Conservatives wonder why they lose with Lagging Liberals like Kirk at the helm.

The America-First Right vs The Gatekeeper Right
Posted on October 30, 2019 by Andrew Torba

It’s revealing that Turning Point treated both Gab and Paul Joseph Watson really poorly.
Yep… what are they so afraid of? 🙂
I’m just blown away.
Eric Ciamarella = Whistleblower.
He invited Alexandra Chalupa to the White House (with other lobbyists from Ukraine) in November of 2015.
A 33 yr old beta male, Yale grad, fluent in Russian/Ukraine/Arabic, went to work for CIA and Brennan sent him to the White House, summer of 2015, to work under Susan Rice.
There, he developed a close relationship with Joe Biden, ……. cuz Ukraine was his thing.
He was let go from the White House in June of 2017 for leaking.
It was Ciamarella who leaked to an outside agency and misreported the contents and activities of the Russian FM Lavrov in the Oval Office.
“””””Contents of the email appear to have ended up in the media, which reported Trump boasted to the Russian officials about firing Comey, whom he allegedly called “crazy, a real nut job.”
In effect, Ciaramella helped generate the “Putin fired Comey” narrative, according to the research dossier making the rounds in Congress, a copy of which was obtained by RealClearInvestigations.
Ciaramella allegedly argued that “President Putin suggested that President Trump fire Comey,” the report said. “In the days after Comey’s firing, this presidential action was used to further political and media calls for the standup [sic] of the special counsel to investigate ‘Russia collusion.’ “”””””
Give those children an inch and they will take a mile.
He was not disciplined before and therefore, he went further this time.
He’s clearly working with people at NSC, who were Obama holdovers, and now on Schiff’s staff.
Time to start recruiting from the University of Iowa, Kansas, Alabama, etc.
The radical college kids have got to go, and the media is the problem.

This is a setup if I’ve ever seen one.
We’re supposed to believe Ciamarella invited Alexandra Chalupa to the White House with other Ukrainian Lobbyists……… the one who worked with Ukrainian officials to frame Manafort.
OMG
And Ciamarella wasn’t just some guy who wandered around in the Exec Branch, he was Biden’s point man on Ukraine for almost 2yrs.
And he hasn’t been in the WH since June of 2017?
And he was kicked OUT of the WH because he went outside the chain of command and sent emails to OUTSIDE agencies LYING about President Trump’s meeting with Lavrov IN THE OVAL OFFICE!!!!!!!!!!!
Where’s the whistle blower? Ciamarella !!
A little moar about the WB
Alexander Vindman’s twin brother needs to be looked at also. He is a lawyer working from the WH and Alex spoke to him about POTUS phone call and how inappropriate it was.
And now, after being thrown out of the WH, he’s back home…
…at the C_A.
Good on Rudy, and Barr said in his January confirmation hearing that he was going to be looking into Spy Gate and the genesis of Spy Gate is enmeshed in Ukraine, so the Dems can shove it. It’s all noise to keep America from the truth of this ongoing coup to unseat a duly elected President. But of course we already know all this and are just waiting for this movie to come to its logical conclusion.
WOW!!! Video of special forces storming Baghdadi’s hideout.
It looks like the dog is on top of the wall.
Good eye!
Belgian Malinois can climb walls and trees – as many a villain has discovered.

Bolton lawyer says:
Hmmm. So turncoat Bolt-on will legitimize the DEMONicRATS kangaroo inquisition’s attempts to produce Subpoenas?
By what authority? Wonder what Big T. and/or Ristvan have to say about that?????
But wait. We know the “subpoenas” are in reality nothing but request letters, and as such have no power to compel testimony.
Maybe what this lawyer is doing is trolling the Dems, knowing they can’t produce an actual subpoena.
Gregg has another THREAD – click a tweet
Biden appears to have aged dramatically, in spite of all the plastic surgery and hair plugs.
Yes… he doesn’t look anything like the Biden of 20 or even 10 years ago…
He he.

Clearly someone photo-shopped Donald Trump in for Conan.
DJT might want to consider making him (her?) acting Homeland Security director or in charge of border security.
This is going to hurt our Nat Sec but can’t leave them in positions
This is the second of a 3 part series Glenn Beck is doing on the Ukraine situation. I watched it live, it starts off a bit slow but picks up pace basically dissecting the left and MSMs talking points from their perspective and refuting them.
He promises something “disturbing” that they discovered they are fact checking for the third episode that Glenn claims if true and nothing is done about it will shake our republic to its core.
Makes you wonder what it is and if it relates to anything Q has hinted at in regards to the global cabal. My guess looking and the preview at the end that it may have something to do with U1, but I also think it could be the financing and creation of ISI by the global left….guess we’ll see
Oops, here is the full video
(edit, addendum) Nix the U1 thought, I saw RRs name a memo and leaped to that conclusion but it was recent when he was DAG
Yum, Yum, Yum!!
Grouse, grouse, grouse.
Come on, Houston. The rest of the National League is hoping you put the Nationals in their place. Otherwise, they’d be like the Cubs – impossible to live with.

This ad should help.
Interesting thread linked by Amazing Polly.
More declassified docs. This from the CIA shows US hand in turning Ukraine towards Nazism. Beyond belief.
Unbelievable! The CIA needs to be shattered into 1,000 pieces and flushed down the toilet for all time.
My brother in Germany told me that Ukraine were Nazi and that was before POTUS was elected.
Does that mean Soros is a Nazi? Just wondering since his early years was colluding with them.
Saw this on Qora and thought it well done.
Oops again….Title is a Illustrated guide to gun controll
So we should implement this entire process, in reverse.
