This ACTION NOVEMBER [1110] SUNDAY open thread is VERY OPEN – a place for everybody to post whatever they feel they would like to tell the White Hats, and the rest of the MAGA / KAG! / KMAG world (KMAG being a bit of both MAGA and KAG!).
You can say what you want, comment on what other people said, and so on.
Free Speech is practiced here. ENJOY IT. Use it or lose it.
However, we have a new policy. Starting NOW. Keep it SOMEWHAT civil.
We have a new board – actually a new SITE – called The U Tree – where people can take each other to the woodshed without fear of censorship or moderation. NOT HERE.
This board will remain a REFUGE for those who tire of both the Scylla of Socialist Fake Civility and the Charybdis of Drain-Circling Civility of the Censored, and thus seek PLACID WATERS.
Well, maybe not THAT placid.
Tell me if you see any giant alligators, or even red squirrels chewing things, and we’ll airlift them lovingly to the Wild West saloon next door.
Back to the SCRIPT.
Our rules began with the civility of the Old Treehouse, later to become the Wolverinian Empire, and one might say that we have RESTORED THE OLD REPUBLIC – the early high-interaction model of the Treehouse – except of course that Q discussion is not only allowed but encouraged, and speech is considerably freer in other ways. Please feel free to argue and disagree with the board owner, as nicely as possible.
Please also consider the Important Guidelines, outlined here in the January 1st open thread. Let’s not give the odious Internet Censors a reason to shut down this precious haven.
SPEAK THE FIVE WORDS BOLDLY TO OUR PRESIDENT!
“I AM PRAYING FOR YOU!“
AND WHAT TIME IS IT?
TIME TO….
DRAIN THE SWAMP
Our movement
Is about replacing
A failed
And CORRUPT
Political establishment
With a new government controlled
By you, the American People.
Candidate Donald J. Trump
Also remember Wheatie’s Rules:
- No food fights.
- No running with scissors.
- If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.
Now – some bad news. T3 is going to be giving up the SUNDAY OPEN THREADS to devote more time to other commitments. I think it’s worth providing a quote so everybody is aware of what is going on.
In reply to above discussion about civility and uncivility…
In her usual succinct manner, DP has summed up an observed behavior pattern.
And the big issue, IMO, was a combination of personal attacks, ridicule of belief systems, and baiting participants.
https://wqth.wordpress.com/2019/11/07/on-expectations-of-civility/#comment-304406
After thinking it over, I highly doubt that this behavior will change on this site based on the m.o. as observed up to this point. An enlightening self-description came when he described what he considered fun for the trick or treat guests to their home. A sign on the tent he sat in said, “don’t look” and when they violate the injunction, the consequence dealt out is a full blast of cold water to soak the offender. Asymmetrical attacks that apparently soothe the person’s missing sense of feeling powerful in their life. Adults shouldn’t need to assault others, especially children, to meet some need in their world. Especially when the payload carries not just intensity but apparent malice as well.
In regards to needing to step down for now…
I do appreciate having a good enemy from time to time to strengthen me and develop a greater love for the One who died for me when I was still His enemy as well. And therefore I’ve been doing a lot of processing and listening since yesterday’s new developments.
I came up with strategies for how I would fully lean into remaining engaged. And then I finally just asked the question, “What am I to do?” and the answer was very clear, “Let it go.” This has probably been the answer since about July, but as usual I’ve been fighting my inner knowing that I need to step away from a current commitment to engage with other new commitments.
The timing of this is going to cause some people to assume I’m unhappy with the site or Wolf or others. Not true and I don’t really want to have a long discussion about it. Some people are just going to get it wrong and nothing I say will likely help.
I love this site and I love how it have challenged me, stretched me, made me a better person. But I must follow my heart and step away from the commitment to post the Sunday open, perhaps remaining active in comments when I have the time or fading away if that is what is needed for the other work I’m engaged with now.
You have my respect, my appreciation, and my affection, all.
Liked by you and 3 other people

I have to respect this, and was not completely in the dark that this was coming. However, T3 is still an Author here, and is welcome to post any time, in addition to commenting at any time.
As things stand, the Sunday posts will fall to me – OR ANOTHER VOLUNTEER. If there are any volunteers to take over the Sunday daily, please let me know when you are READY.
I would like to maintain the traditions set by T3, of the Sunday Daily actually being a SUNDAY WEEKLY, in terms of spiritual tone and purpose. One need not be as good at this as T3 has been – just BETTER THAN ME.
That’s actually QUITE EASY! *wink*
So, I’d like to end this by THANKING T3 and offering CONGRATULATIONS and BEST WISHES. Take your rest, T3 – it was well earned.
Defaulting to my devotional for today, Psalm 86, a prayer of strength for ALL of us!
Psalm 86 New International Version (NIV)
Psalm 86
A prayer of David.
1 Hear me, Lord, and answer me,
for I am poor and needy.
2 Guard my life, for I am faithful to you;
save your servant who trusts in you.
You are my God; 3 have mercy on me, Lord,
for I call to you all day long.
4 Bring joy to your servant, Lord,
for I put my trust in you.
5 You, Lord, are forgiving and good,
abounding in love to all who call to you.
6 Hear my prayer, Lord;
listen to my cry for mercy.
7 When I am in distress, I call to you,
because you answer me.
8 Among the gods there is none like you, Lord;
no deeds can compare with yours.
9 All the nations you have made
will come and worship before you, Lord;
they will bring glory to your name.
10 For you are great and do marvelous deeds;
you alone are God.
11 Teach me your way, Lord,
that I may rely on your faithfulness;
give me an undivided heart,
that I may fear your name.
12 I will praise you, Lord my God, with all my heart;
I will glorify your name forever.
13 For great is your love toward me;
you have delivered me from the depths,
from the realm of the dead.
14 Arrogant foes are attacking me, O God;
ruthless people are trying to kill me—
they have no regard for you.
15 But you, Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God,
slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness.
16 Turn to me and have mercy on me;
show your strength in behalf of your servant;
save me, because I serve you
just as my mother did.
17 Give me a sign of your goodness,
that my enemies may see it and be put to shame,
for you, Lord, have helped me and comforted me.
W
Faith, Words & Deeds
Faith’s not believing a few old facts
About God or Jesus, His Son.
Faith’s about trusting God and His Word
And the sureness of what Christ has done.
Those that claim they hear God’s Word,
But then don’t walk in His ways,
Will not be blessed in what they do,
But are deceived throughout their days.
Those who claim devotion to God,
But don’t control what they say,
They fool themselves, in their own hearts:
Their devotion has gone astray.
Those that say “Of course I have faith,”
But their faith’s not backed up by deeds,
Their faith without action is as dead:
What you do shows what you believe.
Faith is a matter of living and joy,
Thanksgiving and worship and praise –
Trusting the One Who gave us His Son
And honoring Him through our days
Just as God deserves all of our love
From our hearts and our minds and our souls
We should live to give honor to Him
With every thought, word and deed – our whole.
We aren’t perfect, God knows we will fail
Though we try our best to please Him.
But we’ll rise once more to seek His face
And His peace and joy will fill us again.
Amen Carl…
Very uplifting.
Amen!
Beautiful, Carl.
Thank you.
Amen and thank you Carl …. wonderful … ❤️
That’s all fine and good, but we’re not in church here even though it’s Sunday. 🙂
I am most grateful for your inspiring words, carl! God bless you for providing a guide to introspection – reminded me of what we must do to please God – even when it is difficult to do so – Thank You!!!
Question: “How can I please God?”
https://www.gotquestions.org/please-God.html
Okay, I’m not eating carrots rotting in a field, but after today, Scarlett is my inspiration.
And my absolute favorite motet.
So refreshing!
Great way to settle before … tomorrow … 🙂
Yes…
Your thoughtful Sunday morning posts will be missed T3
They have set the bar .
Godspeed in your journey and please visit often
So sorry, T3, that you will be taking a sabbatical of sorts from your Sunday weekly entry.
Like many others here, I shall miss them.
Hope to see you commenting here in the meantime.
God bless you.
Thank you DP
But, then…..
Carol was a genius and so was her supporting cast….loved her show!!!
“I just saw it in the window, and just had to have it.” One of the funniest sight gags ever.
People are showing their true colors on the U Tree, as I suspected would happen. It’s kind of interesting, if one can stay detached (which is hard when the very core of your faith is being attacked). What I find fascinating is that the ones who claim to know everything about salvation are the ones acting like heathens.
It’s more like the FU Tree. 🙂 Religion brings out the best and worst in people. Same as it ever was.
LOL. Too true!
Religion might bring out the worst in people, but true faith brings out the best in people.
Dang, bakocarl, you have done it again. I so admire your succinct, measured and clarifying comments.
Your way with words is so pinpoint perfect! At first, it was hard for me to believe that you were an engineer due to your seemingly on demand writing skills, esp. poetry. However, None of us are only one dimensional and I can now see your engineer brain connecting with your creativity so well. You communicate with precision of an engineer, organized, logical mind. Don’t always comment but really appreciate you and enjoy your comments even when we don’t agree (although I usually do agree with you)
Yep. On my next open thread I have something to say about that.
A Sunday morning judgmental judgment fest. I thought the whole point of this alternative venue was to encourage and appreciate strong opinions and to provide a welcome form for all ideas. Therefore it strikes me as keenly hypocritical and sadly myopic that the first thread I see this Sunday is a bunch of whiners with arched eyebrows nodding critically to each other while speaking in coded tones about other unnamed group members who somehow don’t meet THEIR standards of something – decency? intelligence? group think? morality? Shame on each of you self-appointed “guardians” of conformity.
To say that I am disappointed doesn’t scratch the surface. Seldom does one encounter such a corrosive and illiterate attitude among those whom he perceived as high-minded and tolerant. But then I guess the Protestant schism started with hypocrisy that begat more hypocrisy, pride, lack of humility and vanity.
BigT, I feel the need to point out two things you have said:
1) “A Sunday morning judgmental judgment fest.”
2) “Seldom does one encounter such a corrosive and illiterate attitude among those whom he perceived as high-minded and tolerant.”
Those statements are at odds with each other. Dare I say it…hypocrisy?
Perhaps. but isn’t the real point? I am glad you feel free to criticize me. (and without the “dare say.”, I dare say)
Why is it a problem to offer an opinion? I have no problem with you suggesting that I am being two-faced. I am glad you offered your opinion and I concede at least the appearance of hypocrisy. Under your argument, however, any dissenting opinion in this context would be considered hypocrisy. I criticize the first group for being hypocritical, a judgement itself, which then begets a criticism of me for the same thing and thus we descend into a hall of mirrors. I hope you see my point.
“Why is it a problem to offer an opinion?”
It is not a problem with me. All I ask is for you be honest in making your points, and with yourself. For the most part, I’m not seeing that honesty in your followup post.
For example:
“Under your argument, however, any dissenting opinion in this context would be considered hypocrisy.”
“Shame on each of you self-appointed ‘guardians’ of conformity.”
It’s not about that or any of the things you mention. (Mis)judgment works both ways. If you want to find out what the real issue is, we can do it over there.
I guess I’m just way too direct.
What are you talking about? It’s not about “that” – really? “any of the things”? “the real issue”? “over there”?
This entire “solution” is quickly being proven to be a very bad mistake.
What are you talking about? It’s not about “that” – really? “any of the things”? “the real issue”? “over there”?
______________
Yes, really. For me, it’s not about conformity, decency, group think, or the other things you mentioned.
“Over there” means on the U Tree.
As I said, if you want to know what this is about, we can discuss it there.
This is what I referred to about the failure of this entire process. I don’t go to “safe spaces” or ” not safe spaces”. I just stop participating in dysfunctional exchanges.
You’d be surprised at some of the things running through my head this morning. Amazing how a screen and a keyboard being used as a shield allows the veneers to erode. To an extent, even my own. Actually, there’s been more than one surprise as to who has landed where. And I’m very sad about that.
Really? Your indirection and posturing is particularly disappointing.
Big T,
DP is not posturing and misdirecting/deflecting – she is still hurting from a rough experience over there at the U Tree.
All the name calling and obscenity is a big contrast from WQTH.
As Wolfie said, the U Tree is not for everyone.
To all above in this thread, can we PLEASE refrain from turning the QTree into a forum for discussing the UTree. If you want to post at the UTree, great. If you want to read at the UTree, great. But whatever thoughts, feelings, hurt, licks or savage victory you get from that website should stay at that website. Opinions ABOUT that website should go on that website, not here.
Don’t come to the QTree to criticize, defend, whine, or lick wounds pertaining to UTree.
There is enough to adjust to in Wolf’s decision to split into two sites. What purpose are you serving by sniping at each other across the two sites?
I love you all. Please try to support this change, and accept the boundaries between the two sites.
I was defending DP against an unfair criticism.
How right you are Alison.
Alison – as you may recall, after being banned from CTH, we needed some time to process what happened and discuss it among ourselves. That is what was happening this time around.
It’s a shock to see people we know at WQTH change suddenly and completely at the UTree, becoming Uninhibited Unconstrained Unhinged Unfriendly in their language, vocabulary, personal attacks, assertions of malice, etc.
That is not for everyone.
Thank you, but I’m not wound licking over THIS today. Something else entirely that has nothing to do with this place. A couple, actually. Doesn’t matter.
It’s been fun. Best to all
An eye opener, to be sure.
A lot of folks got up on the wrong side of the bed yesterday. Misunderstandings galore. We’ve had spats, folks way out of line, near bannings before, but love and respect persist among the denizens of WQTH. WWG1WGA – and we all love our President.
Best wishes
And back at you, Tommy Joe!! :8->
Judgment – can we PLEASE stop judging each other? I, for one, have not been pleased about all the proselytizing. I do NOT visit this site to be preached at and if I want “religion,” I will go to a church or pick up my Bible. Now, having said that, I am fully aware that many here are very, very involved within their own particular denomination and have a deep, abiding faith that colors literally every facet of their lives. No problem – I respect that. However, a little respect is due in return to those of us who do not believe as you do.
Many people are rough around the edges and “uncouth,” so to speak. Gee, who does that remind you of? Is this NOT what “they” say about our POTUS???? Y’all would probably be quite shocked if I really let lose as I am quite capable of doing. I would venture to guess that I could out-cuss probably every single one of you – well, probably not Andy…..I have a very sarcastic, cutting humor that I have to rein in or some here would completely write me off. My humor has been misunderstood in the past, leading to my absence here for a period of time. I have the utmost respect for DP but even I pick up seeds of arrogance in her proselytizing and I have told her that. Now, I have to walk on tenterhooks and I should NOT have to feel that way!
PLEASE – STOP SHOVING YOUR FAITH DOWN OUR THROATS!!!! STOP JUDGING PEOPLE!!!
Perhaps the solution is a separate thread (as it is OT) for religious matters.
Scroll button.
Mine is about worn out. However, I am in the minority here so I shall endure.
excellent idea !
You HAVE a separate thread. It’s the UTree.
Think how great this is, Filly & Smiley. Wolfie’s famous AND logic giving you what you asked for.
You can scroll by topics you don’t like at QTree AND go full-on attack against topics you don’t like at UTree.
#RespectTheBoundaries #FreeSpeechProtectsReligiousFreedom
I am talking about a separate thread for religious issues.
I will be helping people make decisions about this later. I have chores right now, and people need fair warning.
ACTUAL DEMONSTRATION that people can leave the fighting over there will be very helpful to those who wish to remain in THIS PLACE.
I’m debating on whether “wound-licking” is off the menu HERE. I think it may be.
I will need volunteers to help populate the new site, and I’m itching to volunteer a lot of folks. Fair warning.
Like I said, chores now. Back tonight for my chores here. This post will be, as Q calls them, “a marker”. What came before was before. What comes after, is after.
I think the point is to take the religious fighting & discussions of that fighting/disagreements/arguments out of the qtree – that is for utree.
From my read – it isn’t discussing religion here that is causing the problem but arguing here about it + discussing the arguing/blunt discussions at the utree.
What is happening at the utree ought to stay at the utree. Discretion ought to be used – on all sides. People are suppose to feel free to discuss how they see fit at the utree. Commenting on those discussions here sort of negates the purpose of separating the blunt discussions to a separate site. If we can’t argue there and work together here…maybe don’t go there? Maybe drop it altogether? Maybe have the self control to scroll?
Wolfmoon1776 seems to have wanted spiritual and religious comments to be able to remain here intermingled with politics, current events, personal posts, humor, economics, etc. He purposefully choose to not separate religion from the rest.
But he did want to separate out the divisiveness on the topic – of all kinds. Sharing thoughts and even adding, sharing different perspectives etc., is one thing but the fighting, snarkiness, flaming, baiting, snide comments against religion And each other….Utree!
MAGA people, MAGA! Focus on the Big Picture and the Purpose!
Exercise self control and scroll.
Sometimes it doesn’t matter who was originally correct, the ongoing argument is wrong and leaves no one in the right.
(Now I am starting to sound like an impatient mom who has had it with all of the children no matter who is the stinker and regardless of who started. Just stop it! Everybody, just stop it! ha)
So, let me get this straight. If I disagree with someone’s religious proselytizing (of which there is page after page after page after page), I am not allowed to comment about it? Is that seriously what you are telling me? I am all for including some spirituality but not pages and pages of it. It strive to not be snarky here and do not approve of name-calling. I am human and, at times, I fail but I try hard not to. I have no problem with posting a prayer and such, or some memes (I am all for that), but not so much that it takes up the entire page! However, that is JMO and it is absolutely up to Wolfie what he chooses to do. I certainly won’t leave here because of it.
scroll…just scroll
I scroll past the funnies, cat pictures, music videos, etc., the vast majority of the days because I come to read/discuss politics + current events (for the most part – sometimes the rest).
And then there are delightful interludes of creative writing and essays from Daughnworks24/7 or Wolfmoon1776 on retro culture…but football?
Could not care any less about football (except for the rousing cheers for POTUS and FLOTUS!) and find it distracting and silly.
But why comment on what I don’t like? Just scroll or skip it altogether.
I don’t even agree with all of the politics..so I scroll. Not written to me personally so I feel no need to read it all, much less respond. This is not my FB page – not written to me and me not commenting does not mean I agree/condone. Just self control and scroll
And remember – just because we can speak out doesn’t mean we ought to speak our minds.
And just because someone recommends restraint doesn’t mean one “can’t”.
Just as I don’t slow down when a dog barks at my car as I drive by, just as I would ignore my ridiculous male cousin who thought he was so deep and wise when really he was snarky and frying his brain forever on pot, just as I could roll my eyes and tune out an annoying younger sibling…so we can do the same here.
Just because someone is annoying doesn’t mean we must become annoyed.
Just because someone is offensive doesn’t mean we must be offended.
Just because we disagree doesn’t mean we must voice that disagreement &/or prove them wrong.
They might not actually care &/or they might already know they are wrong. Think of some annoying youngsters or even teens (mosts outgrow this kind of behavior).
The point Might be just to push your buttons and sit back to watch the show!
Please stop preaching at me. I have the right to disagree and to voice my disagreement. Period. However, I will refrain in the future. Drop it already! ENOUGH!
You asked a question to which I specifically responded … and now you tell me to stop responding to you?
You are upset about any prohibitions on your freedom of speech and now you tell me to stop, enough when I was merely responding? ….OK…SMH
I was merely responding…Wow!
Good luck with that
And here I thought we were all in Church today here. LOL!
It sure seems like it at times, huh?
Sure does – gets tiresome at times.
These Truths the way I see it nothing can attack my faith because it is firmly rooted in Christ.
Christ has been attacked for 2000 years and has overcome all.
In today’s environment people need to be shown the Love of Christ unconditionally without expectation.
What helps me is praying for the person to find peace within themselves.
I’m late reading this. Just want to say that I agree with you.
Defender
You go before I know
That you’ve even gone to win my war
You come back with the head of my enemy
You come back and you call it my victory
You go before I know
That you’ve even gone to win my war
Your love becomes my greatest defense
It leads me thru the dry wilderness
All I I did was praise
All I did was worship
All I did was bow down
All I did was stay still
Hallelujah
You have saved me
So much better your way
Hallelujah
Great Defender
So much better your way
You know before I do
Where my heart can seek to find your truth
Your mercy is the shade I’m living in
You restore my faith and hope again
All I I did was praise
All I did was worship
All I did was bow down
All I did was stay still
Hallelujah
You have saved me
So much better your way
Hallelujah
Great Defender
So much better your way
When I thought I lost me
You knew where I left me
You reintroduced me to your love
You picked up all my pieces put me back together
You are the defender of my heart
Rest easy, friend, and we will enjoy such time together as subsequent events permit.
Appreciate all of your efforts here.
Thank you. I appreciate the honor to have served. It’s been a good run. But other commitments were languishing. It’s going to be a hard habit to break. So I’ll be around a bit more for now. Always appreciate your thoughts when I read your comments. Glad we are on the same side.
I have gotten more from your Sunday messages than many a church sermon. Always moving, thought provoking, inspiring. God bless, ttt, and thank you.
Thank you. Very grateful that even in my weakness, God has been at work for the benefit of others. Can’t wait to see who leans into Wolf’s challenge!
Yes……I admit I am grieving to see you go, even though I have only been able to come here infrequently for the last eight months. But God has His ways and He obviously needs you elsewhere and He will have someone else who will step up here and it will be right…………even if it all seems so wrong to me right now! Thank you T3, and may God bless you richly! Hugs, my friend.
Thank you, T3, for everything you have brought to this site. I will miss the gracious spirit you brought to your threads.
3think I have enjoyed your Sunday offerings very much. I have learned much and admirer you greatly.
Do not be a stranger but you need to do what the Spirit calls you to do.
I look forward to your contributions in posts when the time is right.
God Bless you and thank you for sharing much of your time.
Always enjoy your musical selections…
Been inspired by your faith,
uplifted by your clarity……………….
made joyful by your beautiful images………………
to say I will ‘miss’ your Sunday POST is an understatement.
I understand your decision…………..
Hope you do visit ……………….
You walk the walk, talk the talk…………….
God bless you, T3
Thank you. Your contributions have really added value to the site as well. Thank you for sticking around even when you are struggling a little on some days.
Amen.
“You picked up all my pieces put me back together” . . .
. . . being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ;
AMEN and AMEN.
Thanks for everything T3!
This wolf’s den was and is such an unexpected answer to prayer…
Last December was a particularly hard time for me, my wife, and for this little family. Wonderful blessings but also many labor pains. I prayed and asked God to help me find my tribe to connect with. I can’t say that I was expecting to find it through a blog of people seeking refuge, but that seemed to be God’s plan in it for me…
Come in January it looked like I would be doing a long term job assignment in another state, so talking with my wife she started asking around to find a house sitter. But we were completely taken aback by one of the recommendations that came to us…
…one of our friends recommended the wife of my former pastor at the old church, the one that had caused so much trauma for me and others a decade ago. In the past year he had resigned as senior pastor, that much I knew. Apparently he had some kind of “crisis of faith”, left the ministry, and initiated a divorce from his wife. She was looking for a place to live with her daughters while the details were being sorted out. The person who told us this, ironically, had joined the church well after we had left, and had no knowledge of our prior history there.
It was a surreal feeling; God does really work in mysterious ways. But this was one of those times that defied comprehension. For years it seemed like the lack of justice in the situation had left a lack of closure. Then when I least expected it, reality hit like a ton of bricks. Of course I took no pleasure in his abandonment of his wife and children, but it was that last bit of validation that I had been right in the decisions I made and the perceptions I had formed of the man. There was no pretense remaining that he had been holy and above reproach in his mischief-making. The advice I received when dealing with dirty politics at work or in a church is to create conditions where people are forced to do the right thing, or risk exposing themselves. Clearly he chose to expose who he was.
Why had God chosen to reveal this to me? And so many of the other inconvenient details I necessarily have to leave out? Things that even challenge my most fundamental theological beliefs and what I think I know about God? My only guess is that this was God’s path for bringing the healing into my life that I needed and had prayed for. Sometimes when people have major accidents that traumatize them, healing is not a one time incident but a long arduous ordeal, a process. No just one surgery but multiple staged surgeries are necessary; healing cannot come instantly from a single pill or a single procedure.
Great post and AMEN!!!
T3, Have always enjoyed your articles, thoughts… Looking forward to your appearances as they may appear;-)
And, pleasant times with your new endeavors… Thanks for everything.
Can I get a Hallelujah?
T3, loved your posts. Please try to find time often to say what you say o wonderfully. I am asking Him to inspire you often for the task. God bless you and thank you for all your hard work here.
‘Night, y’all.
Good night and God Bless you Dep Pat………………………
I admire your strength……….
You live your faith… a shining example of a Christian.
I second that, Phoenix. DPat is a gem.
My sainted grandmother, who we’re all sure did not make a pit stop in Purgatory, would rise from the grave and put a really crooked finger in my face if I didn’t.
I hear ya!
Good night! 😀
I have considered volunteering for a recurring post — but it wouldn’t be this one. I was thinking more about the surveillance state, odd revenue recognition in Google/Facebook/Twitter, spyware on cellphones, malware on desktops, and identity compromises. Not quite what is most appropriate on Sundays.
First step, become an author without a publishing schedule and knock an article out whenever suits you!
Exactly!
For some people, the low-hanging fruit is a kind of placeholder daily once a week, whereas for others it’s “open authorship” (which comes with the daily, but for some weird reason seems more intimidating to some who would rather “ease in” with a daily).
We take both kinds! 😉
Well, I’m going to get all Dean Wormer on you and say OUT WITH IT! 😀
(1) Are you volunteering? OUT WITH IT!!! 😉
(2) Do you want a posting permit for the “sugar” site, or both “sugar” and “spice”? I am not offering “spice only”, because [1000 reasons]. You don’t HAVE TO post on both – it’s either or both.
(3) The kind of posts you’re envisioning are great. WHEN CAN YOU START???
Well, at this particular moment, I am attempting to complete my mandatory CPE for my CPA in both California and North Carolina…..and I’m packing my s*** to move…..and I’m trying to make things ready in North Carolina for when I get there…..and I’m planning my route being that a bunch of I-40 that I’d planned to take will likely be frosty. But once I get to NC, I’ll probably have the time to drop a few posts (being that I may be snowed-in).
I wasn’t going to bring it up before T3’s retirement, but I’ve been conceptualizing what kind of chunks may be useful. Part of the problem is that you have upper-level concepts that people tend to regard as utopian, but with Linux you can drill down stage-by-stage into hardware behavior with register contents. An example might be DNS, with reach into local DNS, DNSSEC, Google’s latest take on DNS, and why it’s important. And, BTW, how DNS runs the internet, what darkweb is, how it’s all about UNIX/BSD/Linux (ok, it’s likely a 2-parter).
I’m really thinking that providing content is more like a January/February thing.
Ahh DNS, the ultimate protocol for spycraft. The internet equivalent of having a log of every person who looks up any name in a phone book.
How I want to rip it to shreds and rebuild it ground up.
That’s fine with me! Just let me know when you’re ready.
In the interim, make sure that your email associated with WP is the one you want, is working fine, you know your password, all of this is working on the device you plan to use, and you are able to get notifications from WP through that whole mess. That invitation ratline problem is the single greatest cause of “new author” issues.
This email is a stub. I’d establish a new one to be an author.
And that adventure might well be my first post. Gmail wants you to provide a “backup email” or a phone number before opening a new gmail addy. I could well see setting up a table in a park and having random passers-by activate emails for $0.50/each.
Time for a BURNER bought in a mosque parking lot! 😉
On second thought…… 😀
How good are you at translating that all into English? 😳
Youre even closer to moving than I realized…maybe just in time. I hope you sign the recall before you leave!
Please do cthulhu!
So, based on my email, the surveillance state knows about my mineral make-up and crochet habits. And they probably know about my shopping preferences. I’m curious as to how this can be used against me. 😉 😎😁
As long as you don’t reveal your preference to wearing red caps with MAGA on them, you have no worries. Ummmm . . . unless you’ve, perhaps, crocheted a U.S. flag with “Don’t tread on me”.
I actually took a bunch of notes on some security information you posted here a little while ago, and have copied some of the things you are doing. I would really like to do more, but I often find that my baseline knowledge is lacking. Practical tips for defensive measures would be greatly appreciated.
I would like to thank T3 for bringing me out of my own dark place,I have been stagnant for a while and T3 gave me hope because everything hit home for me.
Night and God bless you all.
OH and Wolf thank you for the open thread you rocked it.
God bless you Rodney.
God bless you Phoenix.
phoenix…are you feeling any better?
Thank you for asking Pat…
Yes. I am… having some tests done too… trying to pace myself, etc. And you? and yours?
good to hear…
we are good…hunkering down (from the early snow) but other than the weather, we are good!
Glad to hear that…
😀
Thanks!!!
T3, I hope you realize the value of what you have contributed here at the QTree. Inspirational, thought-provoking and deeply reassuring that our Faith never waivers. I will miss your Sunday posts, and wish you the best in all your endeavors. See you in the comments, fellow warrior. 💖🤓
So…is this the “collector’s edition.”
Tag, you it?
Wise young man. Smart enough to know he doesn’t know it all.
Wolfie,
Terrific Post.
Thank you.
Thanks! It went through a few iterations, and finally landed somewhere in the “I’m OK with this” zone! 😀 Some things I still need to say, but enough for now!
You do a terrific job getting to that zone.
Off topic, but curious, as I see it so off. The empty square? what does it mean? 😉
WHERE exactly are you seeing an empty square? It sounds like a character or emoji not showing up properly.
Yes, it’s showing now, smiley face! Thank you!
Any work of art is never finished…….merely abandoned.
BTW, I was going to ask Wolf if the lead-in image was the National Cathedral, ’cause it looked kind of weird…..but then pulled the filename and metadata and it’s probably Basílica de la Sagrada Família in Barcelona — an odd church designed by Antoni Gaudí. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagrada_Fam%C3%ADlia
It is a very, very, very interesting place. When Gaudi was alive (he passed in 1926), he was asked about the extremely slow process of its construction (it’s still not finished). His reply: “My client is not in a hurry.”
Thank you for checking it out…
I find it appropriate, timely… 😉
Love his reply……………
For those who doubt the existence of a bureaucratic swamp: “In October 2018, Sagrada Família trustees agreed to pay €36 million in payments to the city authorities, to land a building permit after 136 years of construction. Most of the funds would be directed to improve the access between the church and Barcelona’s metro system. The permit was issued by the city on 7 June 2019.”
Barcelona bureaucrats: “Catholics have been building this church for 136 years — from the monarchy, through the civil war, and into the Republic.” “Yeah, we should shake ’em down for a building permit.”
The Sagrada Familia is a wonderful cathedral – truly inspiring. It’s one of the best reasons to visit Barcelona!
Oh yes! Instantly recognizable! Absolutely breathtaking and very unique. An unfinished masterpiece with infinite beauty & details, inside and out.
The museum in the basement depicting all the botanical specimens from which Gaudi adopted patterns & designs was fascinating. We also visited the serene monastery in the lovely mountains (an hour train ride outside Barcelona) where it was so evident the influence those particular peaks had on Gaudi’s work. I didn’t care for his Barcelona architecture until I understood those aspects.
Interesting!!! Did not know that! We didn’t visit that museum – next time!!! 😀
The external architecture is grand in a weird way, but to me the real beauty is on the inside – again, perhaps a message.
The food in Barcelona is awesome, too. Just a great city.
If I’m not mistaken, this is the building where one of the design techniques was to hang strings upside down and see how they would drape…then turn those shapes right side up.
Have you been? It’s on my bucket list. Technically, however, it is not a cathedral — it is a minor basilica. And it was only consecrated as that on November 7, 2010, by Pope Benedict XVI.
One of the greater revelations of the 20th Century is that many things exist as ecosystems and not mechanisms. You don’t poke things with one unit of A and get two units of B; you poke things with one unit of A and get some B, C, D, E, and F depending on the temperature and how many rabbits there are per acre and whether there’s a drought. Gaudi’s basilica has one foot in the Gothic tradition, while it’s other is organic. There are few right angles throughout the structure……and, yet, it exalts the nave, windows, porticos, and spires of traditional cathedrals. Orwell considered the structure to be abomination, but I’d like to see it before I judge.
Great comment! I also liked Wolfie’s observation about stark differences between the exterior and interior of the Sagrada. To be honest, altho’s Gaudi’s work fascinates me because he emulates nature patterns, I don’t really care for his interpretaions, including the exterior of the Sagrada.
But the interior … priceless … I’ve been in a lot of soaring European cathedrals but none of them captured my soul like Sagrada. To me it was the singlemost holy interior I have ever experienced – and that was in the midst of construction noise/activity all around me. It was truly spiritual, and I wanted to stay.
I hope you are able to visit it 💖
Orwell certainly had grounds. There is an abomination “quality” to the Sagrada Familia that reeks of both cultural Marxism and Vegas tackiness, and yet it exceeds both in a bizarre way. It’s “so wrong, it’s right”. ART is kinda like that.
So true! I’ve entertained the thought that the never-ending Sagrada refurbish is nothing more than another money laundering scheme … so much money, so little progress 🤓
Vegas tackiness … I thought Gaudi had to be on hallucenogenics until I learned about his obsession with nature patterns. He sure chose a bizarre way to emulate them!
Wheatie!
This one’s for you…
Hah! I love it!
😄🛸
Thanks, T*3.
He was sent to save our planet. 👩🚀
Im going to miss Sundays from T3’s perspective. Having the spiritual refl ection in combo with political perspective just this way is unique. Wish I had those skills. Safe travels T3.
Something to think, think, think…………………. about.
“Whenever you’re shutting down somebody’s contribution to the human conversation in pursuit of truth, it’s because you’re unsure of your ideas and don’t want them questioned. And that’s an emotional issue.”
~ Stefan Molyneux
Above all the grace and the gifts that Christ gives to his beloved is that of overcoming self.
~ St Francis of Assisi
Free Speech is for everyone
“[Communism] rejects Christianity because Christianity has universal ethics. Christianity stands between the base mammalian Nietzchean will to power lust of your average scraped-of-religion human mammal and the power that they desire over others.”
~ Stefan Molyneux
We are loyal to those who aren’t even sure we are on the same team.
The moral principle of revolutions is to instruct, not to destroy…
AMEN!!!
And yet….violence does solve some problems, in spite of what Mom might have said. There will always be some who need to be eliminated…like Hitler, Bagdooshie, or Jeffery Epstein.
Civilized nations must have a military and capital punishment or they cease to be either nations or civilized.
Oh, no, they didn’t??!!?? And the descent into depravity continues……
Who even thinks like that?
Some pedovile ordering this is what I see….WTH!
Careful, it may be fake. I clicked on the supposed Amazon order link and got a message that the page cannot be found.
Maybe removed – Amazon pulled the t-shirts.
Possible. But even for the sick Left with all of the Epstein stuff going on…it just seems a little to over the top even for them.
Then again…who knows………
“Amazon has removed a controversial kids’ T-shirt from its website after being accused of promoting pedophilia.
The shirt, emblazoned with “Daddy’s Little Slut,” was being sold by third-party retailer Onlybabycare, which offers other children’s apparel on Amazon.”
https://www.foxnews.com/lifestyle/amazon-daddys-little-slut-tshirt
Amazon should boot Onlybabycare from their site completely!!
THAT is sick! WTF!
Filly, just when you think they can go no lower….
IKR? Deviant to the max!
Read that it’s been pulled from Amazon….only after lots of protest, of course…never voluntarily.
Of course! Only after public outrage.
Well dang. I have to say….
T3 stepping down from writing the Sunday Open is a bummer. It was a magnificent run and all here were the better for it. It had so much heart and soul, just like it’s author. 3 things immediately come to mind…
1. Gratitude to the Almighty for giving us T3, and to T3 for giving himself to us. Praise and thanks to both!
2. The Lord provides, just as he did T3. Always has, always does, always will.
3. Right off the bat, I’d nominate Bakocarl to write the Sunday Open and hope he will consider the idea. He would be a phenomenal replacement in the wake of our losing T3, and this to say nothing of the fact that Epstein didn’t kill himself even if I just did mention the fact that Epstein didn’t kill himself.
Without objection the motion is brought to the floor. Members of the Poetry Committee are asked to make statements at this time.
At 3 AM, we will vote on the matter of swamp drainage, with the understanding that Epstein is ineligible to vote, but is not at fault, because he did not kill himself.
Heheh…well I second that nomination.
However, I must stipulate that this should not be perceived as pressure to accept, which should be entirely voluntary on Carl’s part.
And great work on the Sunday thread, boss!
Love the pics and the scripture selection.
😊👏👍
And I see that you’ve crossed out ‘somewhat’ on the plea for civility…which is good.
😉
Of course Carl doesn’t have to accept and is not obligated to do so. After all, this is America and Epstein didn’t kill himself.
You are about to see some of that strikeout applied momentarily.
Clearly, no Democrat is in charge of this election.
I second the motion … for a Bakocarl Sunday poster (if he’s willing). His poetry never fails to lift spirits or teach a truism.
FG&C – wasn’t it Jeffrey Epstein who said “I’d kill to have Bakocarl write the Sunday Open.” Wait …what?
That was a 3rd-hand jailhouse rumor leaked to WaPo and the NY slimes by an inside whistleblower.
For those of you following the controversy on the U Tree about Catholics vs PROTEST-ants….
I offer this up in Love and Respect….
(I am NOT the best in expressing my “Faith”… but I try)
If you make it through these…… God Bless you…..
You now know where I am coming from.
Granted…. This is NOT the position of all PROTEST-ants……
Take from it what you will…… or Not..
Just don’t say to God:……
Nobody ever told me of this.
😬
Rayzor…what happens at the U Tree should stay at the U Tree.
Exactly. I almost DELETED this post (despite its kind intent) because I am about to deal VERY squarely with the subject of BAITING.
There will be NO BAITING allowed here. BAITING is going to be cause for “banning to the bar”.
That works both ways. Civility here is going to mean no provocation of fights to be “taken over there” (a.k.a. baiting). Likewise, patrons of the brawling bar are not to be taunted, demeaned, and slandered when they come to church here, where WE ALL must be on our best behavior, in order to discuss EVERYTHING.
Disagreement is fine. Keep it friendly.
I know Rayzor didn’t intend any kind of baiting – what he was doing was meant in love, because some folks who took part in that “debate” are likely not to go back, and the best way to get a kind message to them is here.
Sadly, however, any kind of reference to fights over there provides a VECTOR for BAITING. We can’t have that.
The reason I know that, is because when we talked about fights “OT” at CTH, it was always just INFECTIOUS here. It just raised the fighting levels here.
Not gonna happen.
I created “the bar” – which is also a bit like “Escape From New York”, for two types of people in particular.
(1) People who know they really need to be there.
(2) People who think they should be here, and are dead wrong.
There are SOME people who can frequent both places, but they are few. More people THINK they can be in both places than there really ARE.
SO – no more talking about fights over there. That WILL be considered baiting.
I will allow references to POSTS over there – links – but ANY reference to things happening over at the bar will be given YUGE side-eye – including both INVITATIONS TO FIGHT and DENIGRATION OF THE PATRONS.
People who want to see the broken chairs and bottles can look for themselves. Keep it out of here. That was my whole purpose in creating a happy place for brawlers. To clean it up here.
LMAO
Internet tough guys?!
I’ve got $100 says I know who the #1 offending jackass is and I haven’t even been over there to see what is happening.
If you simply banned that one poster, Wolf, you wouldn’t need two different blogs…just this one.
And EDKH.
It’s not that I NEED two blogs. I WANT two blogs. CRISIS is OPPORTUNITY.
Once I realized that I had reached a SELDON CRISIS, it was all clear.
I could not send people back to CTH. Why not send them to MY OWN NEW PLACE?
This is TRUMP GRAVITY back again for 2020. We’re seeing both ACCRETION and DIVISION.
New people are signing up way faster on the other blog. They WANT freedom of speech. Step one. They can become menschen later.
And EDKH! Not a mensch, but didn’t deserve what happened to him! Thou shalt not kill! 😀
🙂
I hear you, Wolf, and I agree. I left a reply to DP above, in the spirit of support for her, that was not meant as baiting but that you probably would rather not have here. My apologies.
Don’t worry – I saw that and you did it before I made that announcement – but it’s another good example of well-intentioned posting that unfortunately breaks down the barrier I am trying to erect.
Uh, Wolf, yeah, he DID mean it.
“There are SOME people who can frequent both places, but they are few. More people THINK they can be in both places than there really ARE.”
Interesting insight Wolf. I can confirm the truth of your statement. I visited there a few days ago when I saw a mention on this blog. Curiosity led me to the open thread and I read enough in just a few posts. It definitely does not appeal to my disposition. I will keep my spot on this tree.
I agree with you. I read a few posts over there a few days ago… but it doesn’t appeal to me. I don’t really have the time to read over here (which I can’t go a day without knowing the REAL news) and then to read the drama over there. I do appreciate Wolfmoon’s care for those of us who enjoy each other over here and just want to get along. But honestly after reading some of the comments here about over there, I am OK with just being here and not worrying about what is being said there. I like my branch and I’m happy where I am. 🙂
I think thats right. People who feel the need to repeatedly discuss it may turn to gloating, baiting, sniping, et al. A generally sour puss tone that isnt good for anyone. Its better to end up dealing with it and moving on.
“I know Rayzor didn’t intend any kind of baiting – what he was doing was meant in love, because some folks who took part in that “debate” are likely not to go back, and the best way to get a kind message to them is here.”
Thanks for understanding Wolf….
You are correct (again)…..It WAS offered up in LOVE.
I was not intending on “Baiting” anyone.
I offered this post to those seeking understanding of where I come from.
I offered this post …. and my apology before reading anything this morning and am just now going through the comments. The Lord convicted me last night and I will TRY to be a better person.
You catch more flies with sugar than with vinegar 🙂
I kind of bleeds over here too…… so I thought I would bring a reconciliation comment here to the “OPEN” thread…… sorry
Appreciate your intentions, but I suggest leaving the ‘controversies on the U Tree’ on the U Tree. That is, after all, why Wolfie established separate posts. Half dragging a debate/argument between sites isn’t optimal for those of us who don’t care to engage at the UTree, or remove ourselves from one of the ‘debates’ there.
There has been some gratuitous, vitriolic nastiness (yes I know that’s what some rabid dogs wanted) directed towards certain people there today and prior days. I seriously doubt they want to be reminded of it when they choose to return here to the QTree for respite and conversation with a very different tone.
Let’s give those who want to try both venues the boundaries & distinctions between the two differing rules of engagement they deserve. They should be able to come to the QTree without being reminded of how or who attacked them ‘over there’.
(Not saying you attacked, Rayzor, and not saying you can’t comment here if you’re commenting there, as long as your participation here isn’t referencing uncivil conversations there (and they were) .. Your ‘offering’ above should remain on the UTree where the controversy you reference occurred.)
Exactly! That’s why I’m leaving all of this up – a perfect example of where we have to draw the line.
There was a time when many people wanted a rule about “not talking about OT” (i.e., CTH), and Sundance even came down on our copying anything from there HIMSELF. All I know is that talking about other sites generally leads to trouble.
I’m not saying we CAN’T talk about UTH in general terms – it’s part of my growth strategy. We have to talk about it. But we have to let it grow on its own, and develop its own community / patronage. Respect for each other’s laundry line would be a good idea as good neighbors. 😉
I’m sorry that T3 is stepping down from the Sunday posts. Reading T3’s offerings was a great way to start Sundays, and I loved the deep spirituality.
Take care T3.
Thank you. I’m checking in on this thread today to be sure I don’t miss any comments for me, but I’ll be needing to focus on other work for a while. Will always love this place and all the Q Treepers. 🙂
Go for it! Come back whenever you feel like it!
No problem, T3. But you should know that reading your Sunday post was like a church service – and we do have folks who can’t get out to church! 🙂
God always provides what we need!
Yep, luv me some T3 posts. 😍. Looked forward to Sundays and starting the week properly With your wonderful words and spiritual wisdom. Enjoy your rest, but selfishly I hope you stay around and fellowship if you can. God Bless You T3 and Thank You for all your contributions! 💕💕
EDKH and Jesse’s gonna stay on it…
Test. Either I’m going to spam or Pgroup told WP to eat my post. I better call the WH. 😜
Jesse Watters tore into ABC and the Epstein Coverup, in his show a few hours ago.
“I’m not gonna let this story go.”
https://twitter.com/ccpicusa/status/1193345183435436032?s=20
.
I’m glad he asked the question about “how many children were raped” in the last 3 years, since they killed the story.
There are two or three articles that everybody needs to read, about the gritty details of what Epstein ACTUALLY DID in his apartments with the local schoolgirls, and HOW he got them to do what they did. People need to just read the sordid details. It was BARELY consensual. BARELY. On occasion, it was actual RAPE of girls talked into being his naked dirty masseuses.
Next to Epstein, these teacher seductions of students are like church-approved marriages. At least there was some kind of mutual attraction, lustful and wrong as it may have been.
Epstein basically turned kids into prostitutes with MONEY. He didn’t want just prostitutes. He wanted the beginners to corrupt himself. It’s a really evil sickness. And on the island? WHO KNOWS what he did, with no law to contend with.
That guy wanted 3 orgasms a day with “young stuff”. There is NO WAY he quit during those 3 years. If he was getting 3 orgasms a day, we’re talking 3000 MORE illicit sex acts, and likely DOZENS of corrupted girls. Gotta be a few dozen rapes in there, because I think they were more frequent than he ever let on. The women who he RAPED always seemed to think they were the only ones – THAT is pure gaslighting by Epstein. I can hear his pedo lies now – “Oh, I’m sorry, I couldn’t help myself – that’s NEVER happened before….”
The guy was evil. But he was killed by GREATER EVIL to hide even more evil.
Wolfie…an adult having sex with a minor is always rape.
That’s why we have a thing called the ‘age of consent’.
Even if he paid them.
Even if he got them to say “okay”…it is still rape.
Even when it’s a case of teenager having sex with a younger child, it’s rape.
As you know, Children are easily groomed and coerced into doing something they don’t want to do.
Again, that’s why we have the ‘age of consent’.
People who prey on children are evil and should be culled from society and punished to the fullest extent.
Yeah, I agree on statutory vs. forcible both being rape, but I’m more differentiating on the acts themselves. One has to read the actual documented Epstein witness stuff to see this – not the pizzagate unsubstantiated stuff.
Typically the schoolgirls were not engaging in intercourse with him. When penetration did happen, it was typically forcible rape. At least in all the accounts I’ve read.
RAPE as penetration vs. SEXUAL ASSAULT as Epstein “massages” still has to mean something, or else the greater crimes are not differentiated.
We have him on RAPE. Real. Forcible. RAPE. Used to carry the death penalty. But look what the commies DID, and got us to help. We call everything from accidental gropes (does happen) to forcible rape “sexual assault”. The COMMUNIST DEMS and their media and academic coconspirators did this to us.
So some jock who grabs a cheerleader wrong during pep rally before he breaks up with her, and Epstein dragging a junior high girl who he got naked onto his massage table and forcibly raping her, are both guilty of “sexual assault”. It’s bogus.
The DEMS use our aversion to the details to mix it all up. I refuse to help. So I will go along with “statutory rape” when there is penetration and it’s rape by law. Sodomy, sexual assault, and any new terms we may need can handle the rest. If we want to use the term FORCIBLE more often, I’m fine with that, too!!!
J’accuse, Monsieur Epstein! Though you did not kill yourself! 😉
Just think that human trafficking numbers in the THOUSANDS! We should ask ourselves who is paying for such a high-priced crime? This is not heroine or crystal-meth bought by your local junkie.
My point is that there are many more Epsteins out there!
I think ABC should be prosecuted for supporting and enabling Epstein’s pedophilia. How many children could have been saved from sexual predation had they not quashed Amy Robach’s story three years ago?
“I’m not going to let this story go”….)that is until the Murdoch’s send me to their little re-education camp like they did the two judges.)
I think I saw a tweet yesterday from Mark Levin, that his new time slot is 8 PM (Tuckers slot)?
Wonder if this will affect Jesse?
Here it is:
Not a TV watcher, but isn’t Tucker on every night and Mark Levin only on Sunday night…both at 8 pm? I’ve never watched Jesse so don’t know his days or time slots.
Husband thinks Levin’s show is the best one offered …he actually allows his guests to talk!
I didn’t think of that!
I don’t watch much TV either, and have forgone Fox in lieu of OANN, for the most part.
I was just thinking Fox “shuffling the deck”, and “the domino effect”.
Waters is quickly becoming my absolute favorite at Fox! Let’s see how long it is before he is threatened. Still PO’ed at the gutless Judge Jeanine!
Gutfeld is very good, too.
Jessie Waters’ show last night was truly excellent!
It will be sad to see when Fox reins him in.
I’m in spam cuz it’s a Wolfie post! 😭😭😭 Wonder if WH handles those complaints too??🤔🤔

Great bass line!
Holy crapoli.
Twitter guy “Burned Spy”, is one that many of us follow.
Well, The Guardian outed him.
Fascinating story.
https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2019/oct/05/qanon-conspiracy-theorist-friends-australian-prime-minister-scott-morrison
Poor guy…that’s an especially stinky hit piece.
The Guardian is owned by globalists who are desperate to silence Q and squash the Q Movement.
I remember a little blurb about this last month and remarked on it here to Ozzy.
But what I saw didn’t mention the BurnedSpy guy…it just said that one of Morrison’s advisors was linked to the QAnon Movement.
I just checked…and BurnedSpy’s twitter account is still there.
Looks like he hasn’t tweeted anything since Oct 20th, though.
WOW! Thanks for this, Daughn. THIS is EXACTLY WHAT I FIGURED WAS COMING.
Yeah, we’re going to see more of this. They need to SPIN stuff from causing them grief.
Multiple targets here:
– conservative / Republican pols
– more influential social media accounts
– QAnon
– Trump and nationalists in general
Add in my case – as you know – INCONVENIENT WITNESSES.
This is very similar to the bullshit they tried with me TWICE in 2018, and I evaded both times. I could tell that they were trying to set up media hit pieces against Republican pols.
It would have been designed to tarnish Trump and QAnon, and also to spin me away from believability – primarily from a scandal that’s even bigger than trillion dollar CA3 or the success of MK ULTRA, if you can imagine such a thing. Yeah, there is another scandal I haven’t told you good people about. But it has to be that one, because it’s the only explainer here. Either that or my loose talk about pencilneck is making certain folks nervous.
It was a bit different in my case, in that they need some kind of violence angle to jack up my “badness” level, so they wanted guns involved both times in 2018.
It’s harder to link me directly with Republican pols, so they have to be a little more ingenious.
The most recent one which I talked about HERE….
https://wqth.wordpress.com/2019/11/04/seeking-qtreeper-counsel-on-active-shooter-training-and-sketchy-scheduling-thereof/
Once I realized what is going on here, I acted to abort their little gimmick. This was a nasty little plot.
You see – they can’t just OUT me – if I hit the media wrong – as in BELIEVABLE – a lot of deep state goes down. It’s a big risk – that I use for protection, basically. So they have to spin it HARD.
What they did – and this took about 2 years, which shows a LOT of patience – was to GET ME CLOSE to a person who they could get close to this Governor. It’s all CONTACTS. That’s WHY the spy agencies all want to get people’s electronic CONTACTS – so computers can show them paths of potential GAMES.
All that crap they do to look cool on Dick Wolf’s FBI show comes from somewhere – WELL – it’s from the CONTACTS on your bloody smartphone or computer!
They just path-find through this stuff, and here we are.
I had a contact that could be used to manipulate me. That person had contacts who could be used to manipulate THEM. That person also had contacts who could be set up to dirty the Governor. All nice and neat, and not ONE of them realized they were being played. I also discovered that this official has REASONS why the Cankles DS would want to take them out, too. Oh, it all adds up.
On the surface, it all looks like total coincidence. But I am an extremely hard target. I spot this shit.
All they needed was a PHOTO of me with that official.
FUCK YOU, DEEP STATE.
I’m wondering if being outed would help my book sales.
Hmmm.
[snort]
You are a dirty deplorable. My kind of person.
Great video with (Tennessee Law Professor} Glenn Harlan Reynolds and his book on breaking up BIG TECH.
My contribution for the day:
Wow! Its important and wise to be as discerning as you are. Its all so tricky and its everywhere and the games they play are long term. But once you recognize it, you can’t “unsee” it. I am glad you are careful on these forums membership rolls. It would be easy for someone you have familiarity with on here to have “friends” that have nefarious purposes that your contact is naive about or just isn’t aware of and it gives the “bad guys” an in they wouldn’t have otherwise. They come at you from many different directions, so many it is easy to let your guard down. You are in my prayers and I appreciate so much your diligence here.
Man, talk about snide.
Had no idea he was so connected.
Pretty wild, eh?
I suspected something along those lines. These anonymous people have to have some sort of source. We were talking after dinner last night, and my one brother has a job that gives him some inside info. Something came out of his mouth that was rather interesting regarding being a government liaison of sorts. Not exactly, but he does talk to other governments.
Thank you T3 for everything you’ve posted.
I’m a lurker with limited satelllite. Too far from a church and surrounded by those who disregard God.
When I come here I get intellectual and spiritual guidance.
Will miss your posts.
Am very grateful for this site and those who post.
Hi all, here often just not posting much. (Between garden/bush duties and limited download) Seeing big things ahead and POTUS is an absolute genius! Doing my bit in Oz to inform those around me and behind you all 100%.
I still think Sessions is a good guy.
Epstein didn’t kill himself
Schiff is going down hard soon
I’ve got Old Ukrainian friends (played flute in folk group) turning up to my birthday next month in the big city…Can’t wait to discuss politics..MAGA and thumbs down to corruption. ❤️❤️❤️
Hi She!
*waves* 👋🙋♀️😀
It’s good to see you! Glad you’re still lurking and it’s always nice when you can comment.
It will be interesting to know what your Ukrainian friends think about all this mess.
So I hope you’ll give us a report after you get to visit with them.
Will do Wheatie….waving back and sending big hugs to all
Thank you.

Pachamama: New to the Vatican But No Stranger to the UN
The United Nations Environment Programme published a children’s textbook in 2002 interestingly entitled Pachamama — a course on why the world’s environment is being degraded and an assessment of “how our Mother Earth is doing today.”
The UNEP says in the book that “Pachamama” means not just ‘Mother Earth’ in Inca culture but also “living in total harmony with the Earth and not from the Earth. It suggests a lifestyle in harmony with nature.”

This whole Pachamama idolatry thing just has my jaw hanging open like one of the mouth-breather soy-boys! WHO WOULDA THUNK???!!!
Sadly, those of us who have been subjected to what the Jesuit led Liturgical bombers have done to worship could have predicted this. Honestly, they’re still holding us hostage with the crap in what supposedly passes for a hymnal coming out of the two big publishing houses.
This is good. Hee Hee.

Good Sunday Morning Duchess!
Hi, pat – Got coffee? Need a warm-up – Please – Thanks!!!
Any more snow where you are? Ours seemed to disappear overnight – quirky – not complaining – mind you – what normally happens after the first snowflakes fly.
Have a Blessed Day!!! God Loves You and so do I!!!
our snow is being stubborn—waiting for tomorrow for reinforcements…lol…stay warm and dry!!!
You, too, pat! Stubborn Snow, you say? We haven’t gotten that kind just yet – Thank God! When that stubborn snow arrives – it does to leave until April – * Sigh *
we live in a hollow (think i said that before) so in the winter, the sun barely rises above the mountain behind us—we get sun, but not a lot and not directly–so the snow stays a long time!
this seems like winter already to me…hoping after this coming week, the temps go back to 50!!!
That would be a huge blessing, pat! Yes, you explained that ‘hollow’ to me – guess that means God wants you to create sunshine where you are – and wherever you go – have seen you do that here – 🙂
It really makes me appreciate “the moment”…when the sun shines directly on my deck in the winter–i make sure I get out and stand in the sun—just feel it on my face when I can…
I can understand that – I run to a different window to enjoy the sun’s warmth – have east, south, and west windows – I love it!!!
😀

Eye Has Not Seen – Marty Haugen
Yes, the song with the sixteenth notes that congregations everywhere turn into eighths. It drives a lot of pros up a wall. But, the text is St. Francis of Assisi, so it stays.
Shhh…DP – most people do not notice – God blesses them just the same – through the music – the text – would have to research that – just thinking of Think*3 today – and I’m sad – put up some ‘professional’ music, DP – Mkay?
DP, maybe I shouldn’t reveal this… but, I don’t know the difference between an eighth note and a sixteenth. How long a note is held? I love to sing, but obviously not very good at it.
A whole note is held for a full measure (in 4/4 time anyhow), half note for half a measure, etc. so a sixteenth is held for half as long as an eighth.
No doubt I just oversimplified or something, and DP will amplify, but at least for now you have a partial answer.
🙂 Yes. A sixteenth is half an eighth, and really, for the general public, not easy to pull off. Thus, they become eighths.
Please keep Chile in your prayers.
It’s really getting ugly there.
wow…Mexico files an amicus brief in support of DACA…since when do we allow foreign countries to determine OUR immigration policies??
FTA
A foreign nation, 80% of which is reportedly controlled by transnational gangs, has signed onto a lawsuit aimed at preventing the President of the United States from ending DACA. To put it another way, a foreign country wants to determine our immigration laws because it keeps money pouring into their coffers, although they have many other reasons listed on their brief, that being one of them.
THE BRIEF
The amicus brief [friend of the court] they filed exhorts the Supreme Court of the United States to prevent President Trump from rescinding the Obama rule allowing youth here illegally to stay. These are people who were brought into the USA illegally when they were young. The rule, known as the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, was put in place despite then-President Obama saying it was unconstitutional.
At the same time, Obama, legislating from the White House, put DAPA into place. That allowed DACA relatives to stay.
The President has tried to change the rule, believed to be unconstitutional, but Democrats and Democratic groups have fought it in court. The President offered to give them amnesty in exchange for some changes in immigration law, but Democrats rejected the deal.
Mexican consular officials have helped many of their nationals obtain DACA despite it being in opposition to our laws.
OUR DACA IS MEXICO’S FOREIGN POLICY?

Wait…WHAT?! I guess I’m not going to Cancun anytime soon.
I didn’t know it was possible for a foreign country to file an amicus brief with out SCOTUS.
I didn’t either…it’s not their business.
Shem has quite a thread with tweets from Mark Zaid. We’ve been laughing and mocking Zaid, but as I’m seeing more of what this guy has been saying (doing) over the past couple of years, I’d say he is dangerous. How much harm has he caused to innocent conservatives. He’s obsessed, but through his contacts and clearances he apparently has the means to ruin people, or harm them in their professional/lives.
Consider that fact that he can get anyone who is compromised – pedo, porn issues – in the government to do his bidding, ie. reveal private information. It’s scary to realize how serious a threat someone like Zaid is to the well-being of this country.
What is to be done? Does the DOJ have the means to deal with this?
Just a sample, click on the time stamp. Numerous tweets. Not threaded yet.
This is the kind of guy moving FREELY through the corridors of power…

I’m usually quite sympathetic to younger singers who fry their cords at the behest of marketing management, but in this case, the little potty mouth princess having to be silent will be a balm.

Miley Cyrus Undergoes Vocal Cord Surgery, Will Require Weeks of Silence to Recover: Sources
The “Mother’s Daughter” singer, 26, has left the hospital, multiple sources confirm to PEOPLE.
When Cyrus was hospitalized for tonsillitis last month, she discovered a separate issue with her vocal cords, which she had unknowingly had for years, according to sources. After learning of the issue, Cyrus was told she would need to have surgery before the end of the year, and that the recovery process would include several weeks of silence.
As a result of the issue, Cyrus, who has been working on new music, has needed to put recording and performing on hold.
She needs to be silent…and itll slow down some of her sexual activity. Shes a mess and trying really hard to end up 6ft under with her behavior.

How do you try and REMOVE a sitting President from office using “testimony” from people who DID NOT listen to a phone call or who DISTORT the transcript of the call?
You get in contact with ADAM SCHIFF.
I bet these “mental health experts” were talking with Schiff’s office and/or with Schiff himself.
At the risk of losing their professional licenses by “diagnosing without examining”.
UNLESS — and at this point, it is possible, given Schiff’s OWN obsession with removing POTUS + Schiff’s apparent belief that HE can simply trample the Constitution and Bill of Rights to get what he wants — somehow he “orders” POTUS to undergo a psychiatric exam: and threaten “Obstruction of Justice” when POTUS tells him to stuff it.
And what would be the REAL purpose of ordering a psych exam of POTUS? Mainly it would be to get the president to submit to an authority other than God.
These people are most triggered by the fact that nothing but God Himself has more authority than DJT. It burns them in ways they never knew were possible yet now they are stuck burning with no way to put it out except by defeating DJT’s authority.
An existential crisis, which will be decided by Thunderdome rule: two men enter, one man leaves.
so true!!
pat, I believe it’s against the ethical code (how’s THAT for a joke?), for Psychiatrists to diagnose a patient with whom they have no consulted.
EXACTLY.
that would make sense…
Just that still picture of one of these so-called experts looks like someone with mental illness.
I’ll bet she thinks kindergarten boys can declare themselves girls and vice-versa. I would advise not letting such SOVIET THINKING judge ANYTHING.
Related thread by Dr. Quigly….
https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1193380789670551552.html
The Left has a quiver of arrows that they shoot and then recycle when those don’t hit their mark. Mental illness is one of them, along with sexual scandals, money scandals and tax returns, inappropriate dealings with other nations, obstruction of justice, etc. They’re desperate. For the mental health one, all they have to do is get “witnesses” (just like with the Ukrainian phone call) to say how “concerned” they are. They will likely take statements out of context to make Pres. Trump sound crazy or incompetent. It’s not gonna work.
OMG….she has The Eyes! The Schiff eyes!
I think it’s been pointed out before that, according to their own standards, it is unethical for a psychiatrist to offer a “diagnosis” (as she has done before) without a examination. Not sure if that is totally correct (thinking of expert witnesses in court rooms), but at best it’s very questionable medical practice on her part….especially given personal bias.
Nobody with FOUR EYES SANPAKU (Holy Cookie Monster on a Bicycle!) should be able to judge when to take the cookies out of the oven, let alone our VSG!
Errr. no. The Constitution sets the way in which a President can be determined unfit in such a situation and this ain’t it. Give them the finger and advice on what they can do with it and move on.
Well – I posted my farewell to T3 and music on the wrong thread…on Flep’s news roundup. So sorry everybody!!!

A Democrat Dies and Meets St. Peter
While walking down the street one day, a Democrat is tragically hit by a truck and dies. His soul arrives in Heaven and is met by St. Peter at the pearly gates.
“Welcome to Heaven,” says St. Peter. “Before you settle in, we want to honor your free will. What we’ll do is have you spend one day in Hell and one day in Heaven. Then you can choose where to spend eternity.”
And with that St. Peter escorts the Democrat to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to Hell.
The doors open and the Democrat finds himself in the middle of a green golf course. In the distance is a club and standing in front of it are all his friends. Everyone is very happy and in fancy evening dress. They run to greet and hug him, and reminisce about the good times they had. They dine on lobster and caviar. Also present is the Devil, who really is a very friendly guy and has a good time dancing and telling jokes.
The Demcrat is having such a good time that before he realizes, it is time to go. Everyone gives him a big hug and waves while the elevator rises. The elevator goes up, up, up and the door reopens where St. Peter is waiting for him.
St. Peter says, “Now it’s time to visit Heaven.” The Democrat joins a group of contented souls moving from cloud to cloud, playing the harp and singing. Before he realizes it, the 24 hours have gone by and St. Peter returns.
“Well then, you’ve spent a day in Hell and another in Heaven. Now choose your eternity.”
The Democrat reflects for a minute, then answers, “Well, I would never have thought it. I mean Heaven has been delightful, but I think I would be better off in Hell.”
So St. Peter escorts the Democrat to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to Hell. The doors of the elevator opens. The Democrat finds himself in the middle of a barren land covered with waste and garbage. He sees all his friends, dressed in rags, picking up the trash. The Devil comes over to the Democrat and lays an arm on his neck.
“I don’t understand,” the Democrat stammers. “Yesterday I was here and there was a great golf course and club and we ate lobster and caviar and danced and had a good time. Now all there is is a wasteland full of garbage and my friends look miserable.”
The Devil looks at him, smiles, and says, “Of course! Yesterday we were campaigning. Today you voted for us!”

The Dems are outing themselves as they try to take down Pres. Trump. Accountability has to follow.
One can only imagine what kind of advice North Korea and Iran are getting from these people.
I don’t like our Congresspeople going to foreign countries. I *know* the Dems are undermining our foreign policy, just as former office holders like O and Kerry have done.
Wasn’t there a former State Department woman employee that did this very thing in a speech in Asia within the last year?
Striping them of their pensions and benefits is probably the only deterrent. We can refer to it as the McCabe Consequence..
For the sake of good order and discipline he needs to be mustered in front of formation in full dress uniform and then have his rank and every award ripped right off him. He was not given an illegal order nor was there a law-of-war violation and he sure as hell does not set policy.

Penis Study
In 1993, the American Government funded a study to see why the head of a man’s penis was larger than the shaft. After one year and $180,000, they concluded that the reason the head was larger than the shaft was to give the man more pleasure during sex.
After the US published the study, France decided to do their own study. After $250,000 and 3 years of research, they concluded that the reason was to give the woman more pleasure during sex.
Canada, unsatisfied with these findings, concluded their own study. After 2 weeks and a cost of around $75.46 and 2 cases of beer, they concluded that the large head of the penis was to keep a man’s hand from flying off and hitting him in the forehead.

Yup. First Maryland “became” part of DC. Then Northern Virginia.
That’s one reason I’m in favor of relocating the Federal Departments into the interior….or, do you think that will cause another Austin, Texas, situation turning a red area blue?
I believe quite a few of the folks who live and breath for Washington DC will not make those transfers. That just happened with one of the Dept. – USDA. Most of the workers would not go. I believe they got moved to the midwest – Nebraska?
thank god…. you think we want them here! HELL NO!
No, Kansas, I believe. Thank God!!!
In an interesting twist of irony..because of the rabid marxist city council members and their program to destroy Austin with “homeless” camps more citizens negatively affected..they’re watching like hawks. Here’s something they caught

What he really means is that it helps the USCCB become enriched with millions and millions in federal funding.
I thought I’d correct that.
I have been waiting since this DACA fight started for proof that it was necessary.
Where are all those who were deported for being brought here as minors? Considering how the MSM loves to air stories that have an emotional hook in them, I think they would be gung ho finding all those who were victimized by our cruel immigration laws PRIOR to DACA.
That’s why DACA will be declared unconstitutional – no evidence anybody was harmed or will be harmed.
Keep in mind that none of these “poor babies” has been threatened with deportation legal action. If they were, they could appeal adverse rulings and request a stay. Most of them qualify for adjustment of status unless they have a criminal record. Plus, every one of them would be a valuable asset to their native country’s intelligence service since nobody would know America like they would.
Send ’em back.
Catholic Charities, maybe, but I’m not aware that the bishops themselves are involved.

Today is the birthday of the United States Marine Corps.
Also known, quite affectionately, as “Uncle Sam’s Misguided Children.”
It’d be a worse world without ’em! Semper Fi!
A Marine’s son, hearing in Sunday School the story of the Crucifixion for the first time, could contain himself no longer and burst out with righteous indignation, “Where the hell were the Marines?!”
And that absolute child’s faith that our US Marines can storm any situation and conquer is a well earned reputation on their part and something that most of us share (when they aren’t hampered by the big shots riding political desks in DC).
What do retired Marines say? I think it is “Not as lean, not as mean but Always a Marine”.
Kind of sad that their first job was to fight Islamic militants….and here we are, still at 200+ yrs later.
Looking forward to going to our state capital tomorrow and waving to all of the Veteran’s as they march passed.
I don’t know details, but they were formed during the Revolutionary War and surely had tasks to do then too.
But “The Shores Of Tripoli” were surely a formative moment for the USMC, it’s certainly one in which they shone.
Oh, and they don’t die; they just go to Hell to regroup!
You are correct. I guess I meant their first action on foreign soil (to my knowledge).
Regardless of whether even that is true, it’s iconic for them.
And your larger point about it being a war we’re still fighting…absofragginglutely true!
From BB – This is the whole thing so I won’t post the link.
“On this week’s broadcast of Fox News Channel’s “Sunday Morning Futures,” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said he was “confident” the whistleblower is from the “deep state.”
Graham said, “It’s impossible to bring this case forward in my view fairly without us knowing who the whistleblower is and having a chance to cross-examine them about any advice they may have, if they don’t call the whistleblower in the House, this thing is dead on arrival on the Senate.”
He continued, “Well, if the whistleblower comes from Brennan world would be stunning, I think if the whistleblower had connection to Democratic candidate, that would be stunning. The only way you can fairly deal with this issue for us to find out who the whistleblower. No American can be accused of a crime based on an anonymous allegation. The whistleblower is foundational to what they are doing to the House and the fact that they don’t want to call him tells you everything that you need to know how about valid the effort is to impeachment the president.”
He added, “What’s going to happen, When you find out who is the whistleblower is, I’m confident you are going to find out it’s somebody from the deep state. You are going to find out they had interactions with the Schiff, and this thing’s going to stink to high Heaven. The only reason we don’t know who the whistleblower is it hurts their cause, they are not trying to find the truth here.”
I believe it’s against copyright law to not give credit, esp when the entire article is cut and pasted.
Additionally, it pervents the writer/publisher getting clicks, credit.

I appreciate you posting the text because it made it a quick read. However, the biggest concern would be if someone used it as a pretext to take down our site. Wolf did pull a post that was a copy of an article behind a wall street journal paywall, so he is thinking about this. WSJ is part of the matrix and could be used to take us down if that was wanted. BB is less likely to be used this way, so the other angle of consideration for the source, giving them the clicks remains.

I will say flat-out I do NOT trust Nikki. Having said that…..
“On this week’s broadcast of “CBS Sunday Morning,” former Trump administration U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley said former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson told her if she did not resist implementing President Donald Trump’s decisions “people would die.”
In her book “With All Due Respect,” recounting a meeting with then-White House Chief of Staff John Kelly and Rex Tillerson Haley wrote, “Kelly and Tillerson confided in me that when they resisted the president, they weren’t being insubordinate, they were trying to save the country.”
https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2019/11/10/nikki-haley-tillerson-said-if-he-didnt-resist-trump-people-would-die/
Just as we suspected all along.
So INSANE that they could even say that, let alone think that.
“I will say flat-out I do NOT trust Nikki. Having said that…..”

Excerpt:
………………………………
“Nikki Haley has one priority, Nikki Haley. Everything else is a transaction.
She claimed South Carolina as her home in order to advance her political career. Haley would never have become Governor without the endorsement of Sarah Palin and the help of the Tea Party; months later Haley openly rebuked, dismissed and disparaged Ms. Palin.
Haley enamored herself with the uniparty political ruling class, and after the politically correct and opportunistic response to the Emmanuel Church shooting, including the removal of all confederate flags, civil war monuments and historic South Carolina history….. she bailed out of South Carolina permanently and moved to New York.
Haley is for Haley, and she will do anything, sell-out anyone, and hitch her wagon to any helpful enterprise (ie. MAGA) to attain her political ambitions. In 2016 she thought Marco Rubio was her best play; then she moved to join the Trump administration. Now she has her eyes on the oval office.
She is the worst form of politician.”

She did an interview in Australia. Its going to come out.
“Virginia Roberts Giuffre, 35, spoke with 60 Minutes Australia about her years being trafficked as Jeffrey Epstein’s sex slave In the interview, she called on Prince Andrew to ‘stop with the lame excuses’ after sources close to the royal claimed the photo of her with the prince was fakeGiuffre claims she had sex with Prince Andrew three times when she was a minorThe encounters allegedly occurred in London, New York City and the Caribbean Prince Andrew has always vehemently denied all of Giuffre’s allegations and the allegations were struck from the record in her case in 2015 by a US judge for being ‘immaterial and impertinent’Prince also says that at no stage during the ‘limited time’ that he spent with Epstein did he see, witness or suspect any behaviour that led to Epstein’s arrest
Virginia Roberts Giuffre has hit out at Prince Andrew saying she is ‘sick of hearing his lame excuses’, after friends close to the royal claimed the photo of him posing with her as a teenager is fake.
In an explosive interview with 60 Minutes Australia on Sunday, Giuffre spoke out about her life as Jeffrey Epstein’s sex slave and described in detail how she was ‘trafficked’ to the Duke of York when she was 17.
Prince Andrew has repeatedly and vehemently denied the accusations, calling them ‘false’ and ‘without foundation’ and saying ‘any suggestion of impropriety with under-age minors is ‘categorically untrue’.
During the interview, Giuffre pulled out the infamous photo of her with the prince that she says was taken the night she had sex with him.
‘This photo has been verified as an original and has since been given to the FBI and they’ve never contested that it’s a fake,’ she said.”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7669535/Virginia-Roberts-opens-life-Jeffrey-Epsteins-sex-slave-60-Minutes-interview.html#article-7669535
This female should get an Oscar for most creative tale of woe.
If Epstein is actually dead (which I don’t believe), it’s this witch and her cohorts that wanted him dead. Nothing like burying the proof that you’re cruising on 15 minutes of false fame.
Leftist Rule #13 – always talk shit about the dead because they can’t defend themselves.
WTH? You are defending EPSTEIN??!!??
Assuming you’re an American, you are familiar with innocent until proven guilty. Since he was not proven to have done anything. it is un-American to speak of accusations as facts.
Responding to your indignation, I wonder why Epstein is not entitled to be defended (although that is not what I was doing). An accuser’s credibility is the crucial first step in dealing with any assertion against the person accused. As far as I’m concerned, her credibility is checkered, to say the least.
Maybe Kavanaugh should have just rolled over. Well, if he is dead, he can’t roll over. So this witch needs to sue whoever she thinks abused her and fight it out in court. IMO, the biggest reason for the media circus is because she knows she can’t prove her case in court.
Try to be objective, and look what these leftist assholes are doing to our president. Accusations are easy.
Facts are hard to get too when the judicial system is tied to the political system and both serve the rich and powerful. Not impossible but hard. Meanwhile there was a preponderance of evidence that is now being ignored. The same preponderance of evidence that got Epstein’s case reexamined and then him locked up, which established a momentum leading to the likelihood that he’d be found guilty (again), but for some reason we don’t get to hear all of it now. Now if Epstein is alive as you say, (strange because I don’t remember you supporting many conspiracy theories) then he can come back and defend himself from peoples certitude in thinking him guilty.
Meanwhile I’m stuck on your certitude about the ‘witch’. Checkered past, okay, but she demonstrates how Epstein contributed to that checkered past and it pales in comparison to what he’s accused of. Also I’m not seeing a correlation with the Kavenaugh case where things were made up out of whole cloth. This woman/these women have an established relationship with Epstein that the Kavenaugh accusers did not. Also this person whom you accuse of being a witch and her witch friends I believe have civil law suits that could help drag more of what’s hidden from the public to light which should be a good thing.
Anyway, I appreciate you having this conspiracy filter thing as it makes us tighten up our shot groups, but some times the damn holes are just too small. 🙂 That’s just my two cents.
The 2007-2008 evidence against Epstein was pretty monumental – the conviction was overwhelming. It was merely the incredibly light SENTENCE which did not match it.
Based on the evidence, it was very clear exactly what Epstein’s M.O. was, and how committed to it he was. He was relentless, DAILY, and never quit. He arranged his “sentence” to be carried out in a way which afforded him time to satisfy his urges, and when it was over, he was back to his M.O. ANY honest timeline will admit that he was a CONTINUOUS child predator, right through later years, when more witnesses emerge, with the exact same story, over and over again, although many of the victims were by then OLDER TEENS with borderline illegality of their cases.
The evidence on the prince is THIN, until any blackmail evidence is released.
HOWEVER, the testimony in the DM article is almost identical to the testimony in the 2007-2008 case in Florida. WHERE HE WAS CONVICTED. Particularly the extensive testimony by that “Wild” gal.
I’m believing HER for sure.
“The evidence on the prince is THIN, until any blackmail evidence is released.”
_______________
No denying he was friends with Epstein:
.
Is anyone claiming this photo isn’t real? It’s not just Andrew with Giuffre, but Ghislaine too:
.
Ghislaine when she was younger, this photo hung in the bathroom at one of Epstein’s properties:
.
Andrew at Epstein’s apartment door, I have seen clearer pics than these, but suddenly they are not so easy to find anymore:
Textbook circumstantial evidence. That plus the girl’s testimony is very suggestive, but not SLAM-DUNK.
NOW – if we had the blackmail tapes, AND they can use those to connect WITNESSES whose separate testimony corroborates each other, then we get somewhere. Somebody has a tape on the same date as the one with the prince. He testifies that he saw the prince in the same place. Saw her with the girl. NOT a deep fake. Times all work out.
THAT is what a living Epstein who makes a deal would have offered. All kinds of information that would convict people.
I think that Epstein may have been holding out on physical evidence. Not smart, if so. He could have made a deal for protection.
Not sure why most of those pics show up as broken links, but if you click on them, they work.
They worked for me fine!
Here is the video, much clearer, with narration.
Starts off with Epstein leaving his apartment with what looks like a 14 year old, then Prince Andrew opens the door from inside Epstein’s apartment as another young girl tries to entire.
From 2010:
And you are entitled to believe her. There is certainly enough evidence to support your belief.
But the next to the last paragraph severely damages your position and supports mine.
If a story matches that closely to another story, does that mean it’s independently true OR does it mean the first story was used as a template for the latest one? Cross-examination related to credibility will show which.
As far as comparisons to Kavananugh, I merely wanted to point out that very lurid accusations were taken as true for quite a long time. Since Epstein is dead (maybe), the accusations against him will forever be taken as true UNLESS somebody goes looking for flaws.
FWIW, I freely admit that Epstein was a lot of dirty SOB but all these collateral connections/accusations are (to me) guilt-by-association. Those would not be admitted in court (in most situations) because of the inherent prejudice to the accused. I can easily picture Dershowitz (to pick one of the people accused) on the witness stand in a legal action against Epstein (whether civil or criminal) where he would be FORCED to take the Fifth.
Thus making him LOOK guilty without any criminal charges against him.
I’ll take my position, in support of EVERYBODY’S civil rights, as a badge of honor. Every dirtbag is entitled to due process. Epstein never got it.
P.S. There are so many constitutional violations in the Epstein case that his heirs will eventually get a huge settlement from the US govt (taxpayers). Unless he’s not dead.
“An accuser’s credibility is the crucial first step in dealing with any assertion against the person accused. As far as I’m concerned, her credibility is checkered, to say the least. ”
____________________
In any type of organized crime, the insiders who turn against ‘the mob’ are always going to have checkered credibility, due to their proximity or involvement, aren’t they?
Is anyone credibly disputing that Epstein trafficked minors?
Despite his ridiculously lenient sentence, isn’t that what he was convicted for previously?
With excellent evidence. The Miami Herald article series on the disparity between the evidence and the sentence really opened up my eyes on Epstein.
Not exactly sure what credible denial is but how about every public figure who she says had sex with her? IIRC they all deny having sex with her. I’m pretty sure if they are truthful, then she lied about that (by adding more names to enhance her story), and thus she’ll lie about anything. And that goes for all liars, not just her.
Two local cops here in Tacoma got caught lying, were found guilty of perjury, and can no longer work as cops because they can never be credible in any police work where due process is required. IOW, they can never swear to tell the truth under oath because they cannot be presumed to be truthfully giving an oath.
I need to SEE some corroborating evidence before I’m jumping on the train.
By the way, how old is she now? About 30? Hmmm, when did she file a police report? Hmmm. I seem to remember something about justice delayed is justice denied.
Um…false fame? These were females that were sexually abused, manipulated, and forced to behave and perform. Several women have told their stories, well over a decade or more since it happened. I do believe the guy is dead. Not sure what you are trying to convey. Not cowering in fear at every moment does not mean the bad sheet didnt happen.
Sorry but NONE of these females has proven anything. I have seen lots of tales (which could be true) but that’s it. Epstein got arrested on felony charges which means that govt had probable cause to BELIEVE he was guilty.
Say that he is alleged before every accusation and I will have much less to say. But the American way is to face your accusers and that has not happened and can never happen if he is dead. So everybody has to pick what they believe. I choose to believe what I wrote – there is no proof that ANYTHING was done to or with these females; only their uncorroborated statements.
Our president is being treated exactly the same. And Kavanaugh went through the same shit. This is a leftist operation.
OK, I’m beginning to see your point, but keep in mind there seems to be overwhelming evidence against Epstein and many of his “Island Buddies” that he was one of the most prolific pedophiles ever.
And Epstein is dead and was murdered, IMO.
My only other comment would include that he has a conviction fir being a pedo, and it was a slap on the wrist. Plus the photos and “art” and evidence in the FL case which was/is suppressed, not to mention everything theyve taken from his NY home at the last raid. I cant compare him to Kavanaugh except in the most superficial way.
It’s official:
I believe alien pod people have taken over this site, and inhabited people.
SMDH.
Such a great movie!
WTH could this woman possibly have to do with Epstein’s murder?
And your obvious support of Epstein is disgusting to say the least. You may want to clarify what you said.
See you at Utree.
Great!
I keep wondering if this is what Europe looked like when so much destruction took place in the 16th century.
If your speaking about the Cavilers vs Protestants in France and England, I’m thinking the two would not yet compare. So far no one is repeatedly burning entire congregations up in churches or sacking entire towns.
More like the north in what is today Germany and Holland, etc.
Still would be Protestants and Catholics not sure if Cavilers were there though. Same kind of stuff. Very bad compared to whats happening today.
I guess. I mean it looks like all that’s happening is statues being broken and spray paint, but escalation is definitely possible.
Doesn’t take much for it to go from bad to worse. Especially when your talking communist led mixed with brain dead scum.
I actually saw a photo with an open Tabernacle which was empty. pews burned. The place was a mess.
Gone into hiding? But will he ever be back? That’s the question.

From “Nebraska…..through the lens”
Not sure, but I think this might be a picture of people here in my town…..the guys on either end look like 2 men I know here from the Legion.
6 men in the back there…but only 5 men in front…?
Huh. I didn’t even notice that!
great photo.
I remember a story about a tightwad customer taking a cab ride. Upon arrival the cabbie told the tightwad the charge was $9.75. The customer counted out $9.75 and gave it to the cabbie who proceed to count it and stare at it with a meaningful pause. The customer asked in an irritated voice, “It’s right, isn’t it?” to which the cabbie replied, “It is correct – but it isn’t right!”
Sometimes we can be correct but wrong at the same time. Our facts might be correct, our points correct, our message correct…but are the timing, the audience, our motivation, the platform, the tone, etc., correct? Most importantly, are we right in our purpose? Our facts can be correct and yet, for a given purpose, the message or statements are not right. Why are feeling the need to be Right in a particular situation? What is driving us? What drives us to have the last word or to try to “win” – even when we are right do we need to win and why? Sometimes yes and sometimes … letting it go is more effective.
I am often correct but I have had to learn to let it go because do I want to be correct and “win” or do I want to maintain/further the relationship? the understanding? bring people closer to my point of view? Or just prove that I am correct? What is the Right thing to do? Why? Is it a situation where I will change minds with enough proof or should I share some truth and let it percolate, be mulled over, sink in?
Where does our job end in sharing truth and where does the Holy Spirit job begin? Do we want to accidentally overstep and actually end up interfere with the work of the Holy Spirit?
Are we being salt or salting the ground completely destroying future growth? Are we being light or being a lazer doing actual damage?
We are to speak the truth in love and sometimes that means refraining from telling all that we know or proving that we are correct. And sometimes the most loving thing is to Be Quiet and Pray.
Maga M love your post. Thank you.
re: a place designated for espousing all religious comments…as mentioned above (but the posts were getting cumbersome up there so I’m adding my 2 senses here)…
why not just keep this Q Open Thread… this thread… designated as the daily place for all that ?
this seems to be where those ppl are comfortable with it…
if arguments develope…as they always seem to do pertaining to Religion …well….take it to the U Tree…altho there’s a reason why the subject of Religion is considered out of place at…oh…say…cocktail parties, social gatherings, the Holiday dinner table…and blogs …
…because it is apparently impossible to conduct and manage any sort of discussion on that without it quickly turning into a heated debate and then devolving further into a reeking free-for-all battlefield of various personality disorders, name-calling, argument-baiting, Christian vs Protestant, Pope vs Anti-Pope, smears, jeers, tears…overly-pious hypocrisy laced with sanctimonious scoldings and finally, guttersnipe profanities.
perhaps here at this daily thread, the religiosity will remain less messy.
Wait…WHAT? A whole lot of channels are not monetized. It was there for stashing cute moments.
Every business, in its initial phases, is not commercially viable. Hell, I know people who have spent years working for businesses that are not commercially viable.
I imagine you are speaking of local, state, and federal governments.
My channel git changed and mived and things deleted forever. Several channels are people who stopped producing but left popular vids up. Commercially viable? Not the point of yt creation, but google is evil.
First YouTube demonitized many conservative channels and when that didn’t make them disappear, now they’ll delete the channels entirely. IMO, that makes them a biased Publisher and not a litigation-free Platform.
Just parking this here.

Bad News, Good News
NOVEMBER 10, 2019
Ephesians 2:1-9 And you were dead in your trespasses and sins, 2 in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience. 3 Among them we too all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest. 4 But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5 even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), 6 and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7 so that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; 9 not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.
When it comes to salvation, it’s difficult to truly appreciate the good news until we understand the bad news of our spiritual condition—namely, we all come into this world dead in our transgressions and sins. In the Scriptures, there are different meanings for death. Physical death is what everyone experiences at the end of earthly life. Spiritual death is alienation from God because of sin, and it’s the inherent condition of all mankind. Eternal death is the final outcome without salvation, and it results in everlasting separation from the Lord. Without Christ, the situation is hopeless, which is grim news indeed.
But there’s good news. Jesus did what was necessary to bring us back into a relationship with God. He was the only person who ever lived a completely righteous life, and as He hung dying on the cross, the Father placed all the guilt of our sins upon Him. Christ’s death was …
Sacrificial. The animal sacrifices in the Old Testament foreshadowed the perfect Lamb of God, who would make the final atonement for sins.
Substitutionary. Since Jesus bore the punishment for us, we no longer have to pay the penalty for our sins.
Sufficient. We can’t earn salvation because we will never be holy like God. But since Jesus was perfect, His sacrifice on our behalf proved acceptable to the Father. His blood adequately covers our sins.
Everyone dies, but those of us who have been saved are no longer alienated from God. Believers will never suffer eternal death but instead are given everlasting life.

Pride Promotes Strife
4 Where do]wars and fights come from among you? Do they not come from your desires for pleasure that war in your members? 2 You lust and do not have. You murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and war. Yet you do not have because you do not ask. 3 You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures. 4 Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. 5 Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, “The Spirit who dwells in us yearns jealously”?
6 But He gives more grace. Therefore He says:
“God resists the proud,
But gives grace to the humble.”
Humility Cures Worldliness
7 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. 8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. 9 Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. 10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.

I know I’m late to the party, but I wanted to thank Think Think Think (T3) for the wonderful Sunday posts that were provided to us for a while. They were always great to read and to ponder how the Word of God is still alive and relevant to mankind today. I really enjoyed your take on several different topics as well as images, videos and music selected for the day as well. I pray you will keep us up to date on what is happening in your life as we continue to MAGA and remember that we are family, even though we don’t “know” each other, we are all connected in some way. God bless you and yours T3 and thank you again!

I’m distressed by Dolan. Honestly. I mean, I know a few priests from that seminary class, and they’re a tight knit group. I just can’t believe those guys wouldn’t stand up to a politician. One in particular is a man’s man. I’ve known him since high school. He’s a stand up guy. What happened to Tim?
Lord knows, DP – maybe, he is dealing with some other problems – ‘practice what you preach’ – or maybe, not!
IDK, I mean his predecessor left him a mess that had to be cleaned up. Egan was downright…vile. I suspect there’s a fear of burning bridges there, and maybe, and this is just a guess given how I know things work, some messaging has reached him from donors or something, but he needs to stand tall and actually do his job. There are so many who make rough decisions you don’t hear about that are, truthfully, tougher calls, this is just mamby pamby.
Must be something about which no one is aware – there is no logical reason – however – too many of them do not stand up – concerned about repercussions and/or donations – as you say – we may never know – beyond my pay grade for sure.
If the Archbishops and the Bishops would actually do their job, and stay true to the tenets of the Faith, they’d be amazed at how many of the Faithful, who have abandoned the Church, or only give weak support would increase their support to the Church – emotionally and monetarily.
IMO, the Church’s own weakness – failing to take strong moral stands, has caused their losses. If they stood strong, the people would support them.
Kind of like DJT, POTUS, speaking loud and clear, no wishy-washy, no watered down versions of this country. He fights, and the people support him. The GOP gets abandoned because they’re weak – afraid to speak up and stand for something.
Duchess, I just LOVE this cartoon. Darling, and powerful. 🙂 ❤️

Just a reflection after reading all the posts.
Christianity is under assault some entities in our society are attacking every aspect of it. Actually around the world Christianity is under attack.
In my opinion as Christians there is no room to squabble over different approaches of our Faith. Yes we are from many different Christian denominations but we all pray to one God and believe in Jesus Christ.
If we cannot even peacefully co exist here on a blog then we have lost the culture war. We are part of the culture and only if we stand together can we overcome the attacks on Christianity.
Be respectful to other faiths shows who we are and makes us stronger as Christians.
May we all be united and let MAGA 2020 lead to a big win for all Americans.
Sometimes it’s not all about one self sometimes if is for the future “for the greater good.”
Getting along can be hard and is not always easy.
Where would this great country be if there had not been people who put their self interest aside ?
Parents do it all the time for their children and in a good marriage husband/wife do it for each other.
Good function society we give a little and sometime gain much.
Nothing is free their is no free lunch.
Knowing when it is important to get “along for the greater good” takes discernment.
Sometimes we are in such pain that we cannot see what is “for the greater good.”
Right now what is for the “greater good is “getting President Trump reelected. A people divided is not as strong as a people united.
I totally agree, but history has proven that most conflicts and wars have been about religion.
I agree and mostly unnecessary.
Actually that is not true. The root cause of war, and I mean all wars is Economics. Religion is simply a tool that those in power will use, rightly, wrongly, or even deceitfully to motivate you toward war.
It’s through Religion that the best ethics, morals, beliefs and customs are combined to form the laws and institutions of nations. As such Religion is the bedrock for societies to mutually come together and exist peacefully as long as all those things can continue to be shared.
When you take God away or even gods if that is your belief your left with just man and there are far too many of those to be dictating what you should do or not do.
Adding on.
The religion is the cause of all wars thing is antiquated. Some of the teachers when I grew up used to push that. Others not so much. Other than Islam and Communism most world belief systems get along fairly well and are in agreement with most issues concerning right and wrong. It’s just these two types of tyrannies that have a problem and again its based on economics. They want what the rest of us have.
Also as to Religion I don’t profess to be anyone thing in public, the belief’s I hold are normally private. However I will say I’m a Functionalist (not fundamentalist). And any Atheist should have no problem with being a Functionalist unless they are anarchists. There is no better way to teach a mass of children right from wrong than a church and those kinds of values take a long time to instill in kids. Mean while belief in a higher power rather than something man made is far superior than listening to the dictates of some jerk. Whether they go to church later in life is mute as long as they get those values instilled early and head back to church when they have kids.
Great posts!
Yup. FAKE HISTORY brought to us by CULTURAL MARXISM.
“They” want us divided, wasting our energy rearranging the chairs on the deck of the Titanic. The Q team has given us the ANTIDOTE:
WWG1WGA
Agreed.
We need to focus on what matters – all else is a distraction.
Of course, spiritual things matter even now, esp. now! We know prayer is critical and our spiritual strength must be maintained.
I mean that our time for political thinking, analysis and activism needs to stay focused
Plus – didn’t wolfmoon1776 specifically advise against distractions – even when they seem good? He wrote several months ago that even seemingly good things can be a distraction away from our actual mission.
Life distracts us enough – home, family, children, church, community, house/land/garden, health issues, work/career, etc. And we do Need some down time to read for fun, to just relax, to hang with friends, etc.
But do we need our time with our treehouse gang to be spent in too many non MAGA pursuits – esp. if negative and pure distractions? Careful, intentional and aware. Choose wisely.
Some down time is good, judiciously used, even rejuvenating. But if down time is discouraging, stressful, quickly distracting from MAGA work….????
Consider and analyze, decide and be Intentional about with whom & how we spend our limited time so that we are effective while we have this wonderful opportunity under the Trump admin to MAGA. A time like this doesn’t come along very often!
The engine that drives us forward is fueled by hope. Our crowd-sourced analysis unlocks puzzles, sharpens us at the local level, and helps inform the “good guys” about the progress of their national education project, i.e., Qanon.
I have spend four days in KY and was off grit.
On my way to the destination I saw many Bevin signs and they were not small.
I did not see one single sign of the guy who won as Governor .
When I stopped at a eatery a group of people were still excited that they had gone to President Trump’s rally.
At my destination people spoke freely about the KY election and took comfort that the new Governor was not going to do anything because all other positions were republican.
Every person I met voted for Bevin even though they despised him because POTUS ask them too. No one questioned the outcome or if there had been fraught. All were resigned that they did their job and voted and was not good enough to keep Bevin. If Bevin lost he lost because of Louisville and Lexington. This is a warning for us for 2020. We need to overcome the blue patches in our states.
It was comforting being under Patriots . Time without TV or Internet was renewing and refreshing to me.
Being totally disconnected and be around strangers who share the same goal and love for country is good for the soul.
This is why I’m creating a WAR ZONE over there. It’s gonna be WAR. 😉

Some of those are great.
Since there is a little interruption in the flow here, maybe this is a good time to ask:
Have any of you heard anything ab this UN Building takeover in Utah?
This is the second day this link has been posted on T_D, so I wanted to ask you all here.
Awfully gracious of him. What does he know we don’t.
Something good I hope
For those who may be unaware, word is she says Tillerson and Kelly asked her to join them in subterfuge with re to the President.
maybeso…if so, may be the source of his support for this book.
VERY interesting.
After simply a gorgeous day here in the Midwest, a magnificent moon is rising. It’s not quite full, but stunning just the same.
Yep, the best things in life are free.
Incredible here. Just took pictures. Lovely
Pure blue sky. Quiet, etc. Well, in my neighborhood there was a whole lot of raking going on because the leaves get picked up this week, but what a perfect day to do it.
Yup was thinking the same thing. Was walking my puppy today well I should say trying to at least. But wonderful weather I agree!!!
Did you FINALLY get a puppy? Do tell!
I did get a puppy. 😀 She’s a little beagle. We got her two weeks ago. Saw an ad and picked her up. I was shocked how hard it was to find beagle puppies. But she was worth the wait.
Mom loves her!!! She’s so cute and smart and fully of energy. Plus puppy teeth!!!
She walks great on a leash. Knows her name and how to sit. The word ‘No’ well that’s just ignored.
Beagles are one of the smartest breeds and their noses are incredible. They can chase a rabbit trail an hour or more after it left the scent.
Very true. Such smart dogs. I have her less then 2 weeks and she’s mostly potty trained (FYI puppy pee pads don’t work on Beagles!!!!)
They can chase a rabbit trail an hour or more after it left the scent.—– That I did not know. But I’m not shocked. They use them for the ‘Beagle Brigade’ in airports.
No is only an option with beagles, but you know that. What color is she? Betcha cant wait for the first arooo! Mr Gil taught our first one how…then they never had an off button.
I’m betting she’s black, tan and white.
I remember as a teenager a buddy and I going rabbit hunting with beagles and you could hear the beagles when they got on a scent. They’d howl like crazy and the howling would get more and more faint, then begin to get louder and louder again as the rabbit made a big circle and returned to where it first started. That’s what rabbits (cottontails anyway) do when they run. They always run in a large circle. The dogs would bring the rabbit right back to us and of course we’d blast it, take it and others home, skin ’em, fry ’em up and eat ’em. Yum. Fried rabbit, biscuits and gravy.
One of my buddy’s beagles was gun shy and at the first shot, he’d drop to the ground and refuse to move further. It would take about an hour to get him up and walking again. That dog was the best tracker, though.
4 of my beagles were tri. One was lemon, and a chocolate tri.
goodtimes, andy…
a friend of mine once had a beagle pup.
I just happened to be visiting him the first night the puppy “arooed”…out by a tree in the backyard.
Larry opened the window, and it was such a sweet little vignette!
rabbit is v hard to beat…so fortunate you experienced this.
No what’s No? Never heard of it. LOL And then she gives you this look!!!
She’s mostly black and white (very cool markings) with a little brown on her head. And now she’s getting a few little spots. So cute. Who cares if she ate the shoes!!!
Had to drive about 5 hours round trip to pick her up but she’s so worth it. 10 weeks old now!!! 🙂 And her name is Mia. So I have a Mama and a Mia who all live with a Kea!!! 😉
No real ‘arooo!’ yet BUT she is working on her howls. And she likes to bark at the evil basket!! 😉
Mr Gil taught our first one how…then they never had an off button.—–Too cute!!
Lol…. my 1st one looked like Eddie Munster and as she got bigger all the black on her head went to tan…and its cute when their polka dots show up.
LOL cute. Yes the spots popping up all over is so cute. My other one never had spots so its really cute.
Hey fyi…i just saw a Christmas stocking at walmart that says I ❤ my beagle with a nig beagle pic on it….so she can have one for her 1st Christmas!
A ***what*** beagle pic on it? LOL!
I know…😶😶😶😶😶 fingers on a phone with an old keyboard that seems to be offset and then I send it to publish. Oy.
Shouldve been “big”
I knew that. Just had to make a joke about it.
I’m sure everyone else knew what you intended to say too. 🙂
Oh thanks for the heads up!!!! Not like I spoil her or anything! 😉
I do have a ‘I ❤ my beagle’ leash.
For one day. Tomorrow you freeze.
Gore-bull warming.
I haven’t watched the weather people here, but it sort of looks like an Alberta Clipper. [shrug] That’s life in the Midwest. Weather is an adventure.
Given the number that take up residence in the water hazards of the local golf courses, I seriously doubt it.
We call that “word salad”!!!!!
Boy, he sure isnt playing with a full deck.
I was actually focused on the Canada geese. Talk about messy birds.

Yes he did. They tried to overtalk him, but he wasn’t having it. He knew what to expect from those loony liberal harpies.
I also read on BB that some in the audience and the view hosts were yelling at each other. LOL
On Sunday, National Security Adviser Robert O’Brien said Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman, who gave a bombshell testimony in the House impeachment investigation last month on President Donald Trump’s Ukraine scheme, will be removed from his post at the White House National Security Council.
“Lieutenant Colonel Vindman, who has testified under oath, is serving on the National Security Council currently,” CBS News’s “Face the Nation” host Margaret Brennan said during her interview with O’Brien. “Will he continue to work for you despite testifying against the President?”
“Well look, one of the things that I’ve talked about is that we’re streamlining the National Security Council,” O’Brien replied. “It got bloated to like 236 people up from 100 in the Bush administration under President Obama.”

YEAH. GET THE RUSSIAN CLONE *OUT*.
About TIME.
I have been focusing on this Mark Zaid character because he seemed shady to me. I went to his LinkedIn page and found a few interesting things. A couple of oddities and 1 really informative thing.
1. He collects rare comic books and he has a website for them (www.esquirecomics.com);
2. He went to the University of Rochester undergrad…which meant he lived in Rochester exactly when I did (now I am wondering if he has similar Jewish connections in this city as me);
3. It takes some effort to plow through all his endorsements (never saw a LInkedIn page with so many!), but you find he was endorsed by Tony Schaffer(!) and prominent writer Kenneth Timmerman..but most of all, he was endorsed by DAVID LAUFMAN. Do you remember who he is? The former head of counter intelligence at the DOJ. Ostensibly one of the guys involved in the whole Russia thing.
It is really hard going through his page. It is pretty dense. But this guy is incredibly well connected. On a much different level that one would think.
He is the key I believe. I could be wrong but there is something wildly fishy about a guy who gets recommended by David Laufman. Not one of those run-of-the-mill endorsements.
Anyways, take a look if you dare. It’s a real headache but have a go if you are willing.
https://www.linkedin.com/in/markzaid/
Remember in January 2017, Zaid tweeted about a coup. Well David Laufman is a friend of his……alarm bells going off loudly.
I am guessing we are close to the end game here. Once invisible connections are now in plain sight. If I can find something small like this, what are the chances that Durham has connected all the dots? Pretty damn high I think.
Justice is coming.
Nice work, NYGuy54!
Hes a very strange pedoish person. You may very well have some old connections. When they say they have it all, I hope its true…and they dole justice liberally.
By the way, slightly off topic, but what are the odds that the Anonymous book was written by Eric Ciaramella himself? Seems amazingly coordinated it would come out now.
Wondering aloud.
I dropped your comment and link into Daughn’s ongoing impeachment blog/thread, NYGUY.
This is big. I had come up with Laufman being nearly treasonous a couple of years ago, over at CTH, based on speculation based on stuff SD found. I don’t remember the details, but at the time, I believed Laufman may have engaged in *actually* treasonous stuff for foreign governments.
This was BEFORE whatever it was, blew apart CTH.
So that means, like you say, we may be down to the really nasty actors.
With the Hard Coup happening..
It is..

Agreed. Our willingness to not play politics on running the nation has enabled our side to claim the ability to do a BETTER JOB by not honoring political virtue signals. It’s AWESOME.
$4 million is a bargain for that dude.
“It’s going to be like he wasn’t even the potus…”

What does an old soldier, who was totally surprised when he made it to his 23rd birthday much less to his 56th say to a nation of people who He declared after his 18th year as a soldier and into his 3rd year as a Solder that their so-called elected/appointed representatives/leaders were mostly (‘mostly’ defined as one more than half) self-serving, witless, cowardly, pissants (Note: After living in the woods for many years he had to drop ‘pissants’ in that he discovered pissants are not self-serving, nor witless, and certainly not cowards)? He also declared at that same time how he concluded most of the nation’s so-called elected/appointed representatives/leaders were self-serving, witless, cowards.
The old soldier wrote in the prelude of a book (Note: The book has never been published due to classification issues) titled: Rape, Pillage, Plunder; America You’ve Been Had!… that he believed the American people are the most effectively lied to people in modern times thanks primarily to the American political class, the American bureaucracy, the American media, and American academia.
In that same prelude he added that he believed the greatest threats to the American people are the corrupt and/or incompetent politicians/bureaucrats/academicians found at every level of government/academia, and the majority of the American so-called media.
Now some 30 years later the old soldier has made some additional observations regarding America and its people. After carefully watching the whole of the political class since Donald J. Trump descended down that escalator in Trump Tower to date, he believes without reservation that most of the group will sell their souls and the bodies of the American people just to remain in power.
In addition, He believes if the American people allow the political class in league with the media, the bureaucracy, and academia to remove Donald J. Trump from office, the entire nation will come to be the same as any of the major cities currently controlled by democrats; e.g., New York City, Baltimore, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, or the complete package, California.
Now in the fog of the so-called impeachment process a decision point is fast approaching for the old soldier, most veterans, and for many Americans.
Does he fight?
Or simply stay in his woods and watch the nation consider discarding the President and much of what has been accomplished since the President took office?
Considering the overall reaction of the American public to date, I suspect the old soldier is going to stay in his woods and watch his fellows very carefully.
If their level of interest and support for the President wanes, I suspect He will be faced with the decision facing most veterans when they see their own country in peril. Are my fellow citizens worth another drop of my sweat, much less my blood?
Or WILL they, “Water the Tree of Liberty”
While Thus, Protecting,,
The Republic for which it stands?
FREEDOM!?
Good thing the level of interest and support for President Trump is only getting deeper and wider with each passing week.
Wane??

Six Chinese nationals found behind truck’s false wall at San Ysidro border crossing
https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/news/public-safety/story/2019-11-09/six-chinese-nationals-found-behind-trucks-false-wall-at-san-ysidro-border-crossing
We really need to find out more about these people.
I suspect we are getting RINGERS who are registered in China’s systems as harmless schmoes – economic migrants looking for work. That keeps us NOT LOOKING for the other ones who slip past – assuming they’re nobody important.
What I suspect is that a large number of these are highly trained operatives, who can do a lot more when they’re acting as illegals, and we don’t know they’re here.
Meanwhile, Chinese student spy numbers STALL as there is more scrutiny on them.

I STRONGLY suspect biological warfare is already being waged and yet our population is somehow more resilient than expected by our adversaries. Possibly because there are so many Americans with a decent nutritional status. Biowarfare that would work in Africa just isn’t giving them the K.O. seen elsewhere. Doesn’t mean we are suffering to some degree, but we aren’t hit as hard as desired. Perhaps in this case what doesn’t kill us has the ability to make us stronger.
ITA. The climate is not hospitable for average joes seeking entry right now,imo. The price must be sky high for them. Or they’re part of the drug trade money laundering ?

Venice covered in needles. And these are what can be seen.
I CANNOT believe that all of this is happenstance. ‘They’ want sane normal people to abandon the State. ‘They’want people to avoid areas. ‘They’ want people to be afraid and not fight back? Something is so wrong
One more thing, a blood vessel burst in my bad eye yesterday. Wound up having a Saturday visit with my retina doc (you ladies would love him. Very handsome, well spoken guy. Brandeis grad). I guess it was sitting next to a spot he welded down (he hated when I said that..he lasered it..but welded sounds easier).
The net of it was that it sent a wave of new floaters through my eye. Black dots and lines. So if I become an impressionist painter, you’ll know where the inspiration came from. Harder to see through that eye but I think I am going to improve rapidly now. Crossing my fingers, but I should be fine in 2 weeks.
So sorry to hear that Ed…
Will be thinking of you, praying for you.
I am better off than many but thank you.
You are really going through a tough time and with your eyes no less – particularly scary and nerve wracking. Sounds like you have quality doctors to taking care of you and for that I am glad. Appreciate the updates as once someone shares something then they are on my mind, in my heart and in my prayers.

That look on Don Jr.’s face is the realization that Kimberly just became a risk to his father’s re-election campaign.
And so out she goes!
I don’t know, I didn’t think it was that bad. She got some strong cheers at the end.
I’ve seen KG basically “coming up short” before (she ain’t the VSG, that’s for sure), and they still keep her in the speaker mix.
Overall, I think this is a GOOD conflict, and she handled her side well. But I’m glad they’re getting pushed.
We need the BETTER HALF of what EACH of the two sides are pushing.
The “Boomer” half is pushing some good things like alliance, political realism, stealing black crypto-conservatives hands over fist, etc., but some bad shit like falling back on immigration, falling back to establishmentarianism, etc. But notice where immigration numbers are IN FACT right now.
Hmmmmmmmm. Wonder why that is……
The “Gen X Pepe” half is pushing some good things like booting communist ADL as a moral reference, getting real on immigration, getting real on religious liberty, getting real on freedom of speech, etc., but some bad shit like dragging in hard-core deniers, etc. But notice how much WINNING is on these is happening IN FACT right now.
Hmmmmmmmm. Wonder why that is…..
VSG knows what he’s doing is my thought.
What’s going to emerge? IMO the GOOD SIDES of BOTH are going to WIN. And I think people like US are going to help that happen. WE help separate the wheat from the chaff on both sides.
Now I will say this. This is important! VERY IMPORTANT.
IMPORTANT!
My dear wife – who was a PRIME CROSSOVER TRUMP VOTER in 2016 – has warned me that IN HER OPINION, Trump needs to NOT LOOK OVERLY BIASED TOWARD ISRAEL in order to WIN in 2020. She is absolutely convinced that if he looks biased and controlled by Israel, or if it looks like HE is controlling Israel, then 2020 is at risk.
I don’t agree with her. I think this is silly. But she is so concerned about it, she MADE ME SAY SOMETHING ONLINE.
Now here is the deal. I had to actually explain the “Embassy to Jerusalem” thing to my wife. She must have gotten the impression from the FAKE NEWS that *WE* (America) were responsible for moving the Israeli capital. Yes – I know it sounds crazy. That is how messed up the Fake News messaging has been, that it’s OUR FAULT – as in TRUMP’S FAULT – that the embassy IS in Jerusalem. My wife apparently misinterpreted the Fake News LIE that “moving the capital is America’s fault” to be something like “America forced Israel to move it’s capital”. So whether WE control Israel, or Israel controls America, it’s BAD from her viewpoint.
I had to explain that ISRAEL WANTED TO MOVE THE CAPITAL, and that we were simply moving our embassy to where it made sense – THE CAPITAL THAT ISRAEL WANTS – and explained THAT part, too. She was happy with that explanation, but still insisted on her point about 2020. She thinks people don’t understand.
So the bottom line – fake news has brainwashed her so backwards on Israel topics, that it’s all sounding like TRUMP’S FAULT to her.
Somebody is going to have to figure out what is going on here. Maybe there just needs to be CLARITY about Trump and Israel. I will keep asking her what she means, but she REALLY, REALLY thinks this is some kind of risk.
I pretty much gave up trying to understand anything about Israel, because it appears to be a pointless exercise in rabbit hole land.
If there is more contradictory information and disinformation about any other country in the world, I don’t know what country that would be.
My guess is that the people of Israel are mostly great, like the people of most civilized nations.
As for the capital, I thought Jerusalem had always been the capital, or at least for a long time, but the rest of the world simply refused to recognize it, so Israel had to play along, and pretend like the capital was Tel Aviv.
So I checked the unmatched wisdom of wiki:
………………………
The Jerusalem Law states that “Jerusalem, complete and united, is the capital of Israel” and the city serves as the seat of the government, home to the President’s residence, government offices, supreme court, and parliament.
United Nations Security Council Resolution 478 (20 August 1980; 14–0, U.S. abstaining) declared the Jerusalem Law “null and void” and called on member states to withdraw their diplomatic missions from Jerusalem (see Kellerman 1993, p. 140).
………………………
So the U.N. overruled the decision of a Sovereign nation to recognize its own capital city… and all the other putzes went along with the U.N.
So it would appear that all Trump did was finally recognize that Jerusalem is obviously the capital of Israel, and then relocated our embassy to the capital city, where the embassy should be.
IMO and that of many others, Israel desperately needs us as an ally since they are surrounded by all moslem nations who would rather Israel didn’t exist. Even within Israel, Gaza is a huge problem and threat to them.
Today in fact, Hamas held another large military parade in Gaza….
https://video.foxnews.com/v/6102641862001/#sp=show-clips
Yup. That’s the way I feel, too.
I have no doubt they need us as an ally, and I’m glad to have allies.
But is Israel really surrounded by islamic nations that hate them?
Seems like Jordan and Egypt get along fine with Israel.
Thomas Wictor doesn’t think the islamic middle east is unified against Israel. For one example, he thinks Saudi Arabia is Israel’s best friend, and that Saudi Arabia gave Israel $5 trillion dollars to develop next generation warfare technology that even we don’t have, but Israel and Saudi Arabia have.
Of course, Thomas never (and I mean never) supports any of his assertions, about anything. His approach is to be a swami, a crystal ball seer who pronounces wisdom and knowledge from a mystery machine behind a curtain which is never revealed.
Which, while entertaining and enjoyable, is equal parts frustrating and often insulting.
And nobody ever calls him out for it.
Look at practically any Wictor thread, and just start asking basic questions, like “How do you know this?”, “What is your source for this astounding information?”, etc.
Nobody ever does. Which makes Wictor seem like a psy-op.
“The “Boomer” half is pushing some good things like alliance, political realism,”
____________________
What is ‘political realism’, and who decides?
Is ‘gay marriage’ and tranny/gender insanity just ‘political reality’ and that “surrendered without a fight” ground can never be recovered?
This is where the boomers always miss the plot.
If the Left has taught us anything, it is that REALITY is whatever we decide it is.
15 years ago not even Hussein would have advocated for gay marriage.
Today we have trannys breaking women’s sports records and teaching little children in schools while dressed in full drag.
What would boomers ever do about it?
NOTHING.
Besides complain.
That’s how ALL of this happened.
Boomers have way too much to lose to ever actually DO anything to stop the always encroaching and fear-inducing Marxist police state.
But what the Boomers COULD do is get behind the young conservatives and Anons (some of whom are called ‘Groypers’), who are so screwed that they literally have nothing to lose, so they are free to take ACTION.
Boomers will say all the sexual deviancy is just ‘political reality’, just like Dan Crenshaw said in the video I posted.
I say that all that degeneracy can be vanquished even more quickly than it manifested, if We the People decide that is the political reality we want. Remember, it’s like 1% of the population that rammed all this garbage down America’s throat. If the 99% (or even a tiny fraction thereof) actually stood up and said HELL NO!, the frauds and phonies who push this garbage would scurry back under their rocks.
But in the absence of ANY pushback, they just pushed the envelope to infinity, like a rocket moving through outer space without any resistance.
Another example. Boomers will say it’s ‘political reality’ that we have 25+ million illegal aliens in America. Boomers will say that it’s just impossible to remove 25+ million illegals. Boomers always say it’s ‘impossible’ whenever they really just don’t want to do something, or whenever they’re happy with the status quo.
Those 25+ million people can absolutely be rounded up and expelled. All that is required is the political will to do it, and that will is coming.
Another example is islam. Boomers would have let Leftists import islam right up to the 5% to 7% of the population islam requires before they begin taking over. There’s no doubt at all that Boomers would have allowed that.
They would have complained loudly, but they wouldn’t have done a *&^$ing thing to stop it. It’s just a ‘political reality’, don’tcha know.
Here is another reality: islam can be outlawed, based on the same criteria established by Founding Father Samuel Adams, i.e., that while religious toleration is commendable, there should be no toleration of any religion that seeks to subvert civil government or society.
So recognize the plain, undeniable, incontrovertible TRUTH about what islam is, and outlaw it. And anybody who is islamic and won’t renounce islam can be evicted. Make THAT ‘political reality’. It isn’t going to happen on its own, and the Boomers sure as *&^$ aren’t going to do it, but the Groypers and Anons might, if the Boomers support them.
Outlaw Communism for the exact same reasons as islam, and based on the exact same principle established by Samuel Adams. Make that a ‘political reality’.
If the Left can put the Overton Window on Wile E. Coyote’s ACME rocket skates, then why can’t we stop it, and send it right back the other direction?
We can. 👍
Trump is saving America. America was in critical condition, and Trump is stabilizing the patient.
Hopefully, he will recognize and harness what America’s young conservatives are doing, and take the next logical step, which is RESTORING America back to full health.
And a BIG part of that requires:
1) stopping ‘replacement population’ mass-immigration
2) stopping all of the gender/tranny nonsense
3) removing the intentionally injected cancer of islam
4) removing the intentionally injected dementia of Communism
Basically, STOPPING all of the insanity that the Marxist Globalist Cabal has FORCED on our country, and the brownshirts (muzzies) they imported as foot soldiers.
It’s all doable.
If the young conservatives are willing to take up that fight, Imma thinking they should receive massive support.
I agree! I think it’s a great fight. The TRANSGENDER INSANITY is exactly where I think we have to just say NO FUCKING WAY.
Any Republican who wants the trans insanity and satanic drag queen story hour is GONE, and Don Jr. needs to check his friends to make sure he’s not getting CAUGHT IN A PINCH. Would not surprise me if TPUSA is being manipulated into becoming a TRAP FOR TRUMP.
But I will also say this. I do NOT want to EVER go back to the way it was when I was a kid, when “beating up fags” was an acceptable youth sport. “ANTIFAG” is every bit as NAZI and repulsive as ANTIFA.
This is why I think that our VSG has perfect aim with his push on decriminalization of homosexuality. That is exactly where I think the sweet spot is.
There was a happy and SANE medium, and we passed it a decade or two ago, because of the Marxist Globalist Cabal, exactly as you said.
“But I will also say this. I do NOT want to EVER go back to the way it was when I was a kid, when “beating up fags” was an acceptable youth sport. “ANTIFAG” is every bit as NAZI and repulsive as ANTIFA.”
_______________
Very much agreed. I never saw anybody get beat up for being gay when I was a kid, but then again, when I was a kid, I didn’t know anybody who was gay. It wasn’t anything that kids thought to even talk about, until MTV in the early 1980s, and guys started wearing earrings to signal they were gay. I remember when that was a big thing. For my age group, it’s not like homosexuality was a regular subject of discussion, just the opposite, at least until we had no choice because suddenly homosexuality was everywhere in ‘pop culture’.
Nobody ought to be beat up or intimidated, there’s nothing lawful or Christian about that. Just as homosexuality should never be endorsed or promoted. There’s nothing lawful or Christian about that, either.
And at this point, a lot of the so-called ‘gender confusion’ or ‘uncertainty’ at a young age has been forced on kids. If I understand correctly, the DSM always categorized it as a mental illness, until suddenly, for Leftist political reasons, it was changed.
I don’t know that any credible medical argument was ever even advanced for changing it, it appears to have been changed for completely for subversive Marxist reasons, i.e., the homosexual agenda, as outlined in books like “After the Ball”.
And since it has been and is currently promoted and glamorized, is anybody even trying to find an effective treatment or cure?
Homosexuals are often quoted as saying they would never choose to be gay, and they would be straight if they could. Is anyone even trying to help them, instead of enabling their condition?
