Welcome to the OPEN THREAD! Happy Leftover Day!
Hope you all had a lovely Thanksgiving. It’s time to decorate the Christmas QTree. Ready?
This ACTION NOVEMBER 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.
Please feel free to comment. We have a new policy, starting 20191110. Keep it SOMEWHAT civil. Our rules began with the civility of the Old Treehouse, later to become the Wolverinian Empire, 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.
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 need civility, either some or all of the time.
Please keep the President, his family and team in your thoughts and prayers. If you run into the President, SPEAK THE FIVE WORDS BOLDLY. “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.
I’ll leave you with the very best of us. Thank you, Clarence.
Note to all, this is NOT a fake photo, or photoshopped. It’s an official Getty Photo from the Hong Kong celebration for our Thanksgiving, and as a special thanks to President Trump for signing the Hong Kong Support Act.
It was the Scut Farkus moment for Hong Kong.
It’s time to bring on Christmas. Ode To Joy, in Honor of our President, our Troops in Afghanistan and stationed all over the world, the voters in Hong Kong, and……. America. Brings me to tears every time.
Just…………. sing.
Amazing that ode to joy. Would have loved to be in the crowd
There is one frequent commenter here who Does Not Like the Ode to Joy.
It sure as heck ain’t me.
Hah! I love that Ralphie clip from ‘A Christmas Story’!
Nice header picture, Daughn.
Love it!
Great choice of clips and photos!
We are witnessing some amazing things right now, worldwide.
This scene from Hong Kong is just…epic:
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving Day!
I managed to put everyone at my house into a food coma.
😄😁
They were burping and scratching themselves, then nodding off into naps.
So I considered it all a success.
Yup…this is what I felt like at around 7:30pm…after my second helping. I later woke up and had two pieces of pie.
From a dramatic point of view, I always think that the Ode to Joy video should return back to the girl (who is undoubtedly a plant). As in, the original bassist should pick up the hat, walk up to her, and pull out a bunny and give it to her. Or return her Euro. Or he could bow and she could curtsey. Or her raiment could turn white. As it is, she supposedly sets it in motion, stands there through half of it, and is nowhere to be seen at the end.
Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, Fourth Movement is a Western masterpiece. It’s nice to see it get some credit. There’s a point in the video where a less-Germanic-looking guy seems to be explaining it to his more melanin-challenged girlfriend. Western Civilization is open to all who would hear its Truth…..and, sadly, lost to others, even if they look like Greta Thunberg.
It’s interesting that the OTHER three movements are even more highly regarded by musicologists than this one is (they don’t dislike the fourth movement, they just think the others are even better).
This of course was an arrangement, considerably chopped in length; there’s a long instrumental lead in, a solo by, I believe, a tenor (very well performed on the Karajan recording, less so on the Bruno Walter recording, which I suspect was by someone who wasn’t fluent in German and couldn’t “feel” the words–those are the two I have), and a lot else.
The fourth actually begins with a recapitulation of the other three movements’ themes, with a bass basically saying after each one, “no, that’s not right, I want something else,” a sort of musical conversation. The bass certainly got what s/he was asking for.
It’s worth a listen to the full work, but you’ll need to set aside over an hour. If you haven’t got that much time, try just listening to the entire fourth movement.
Happy Thanksgiving y’all!
Didn’t get no waygu steak. [boo hiss] Just kidding. Wife got too hungry to wait for cooking so we went out.
Feast buffet is the name of the place. HUGE! I mean YUGE! Tables everywhere, and side rooms that had regular doorways. I think the place used to be light manufacturing or something similar but it had all kinds of foodstuffs. Both regular ‘merican and Chinese side by side on the buffet line which was an immense rectangle in the middle of the floor. No, I didn’t eat as much as wheatietoo’s shindig but was full when we left.
Then went to Walmart to get a cheap tablet for me but son decided it was too lightweight so he bought me a substantially stronger one. He’s a wonderful son plus he’s generous to his old man. I do not deserve him but I’m sure glad I got him.
I think I’ll go read all the political manure I missed today. See y’all in the morning. Love ya all. And thanQ to our founder, wolfmoon, for giving us such a beautiful hangout. Life is good.
.
When we watched this earlier…mr. wheatie pointed to the sandbags that Pres Trump stood behind, and remarked that those were there as a ‘security measure’.
As in…if a sleeper embeded in the crowd tried to do something, those sandbags would serve as a good cover for him.
😬
I’m just glad that our President is back home now, safe and sound!
What people rarely seem to think about is just how BRAVE our President is.
Those rallies? So dangerous. The one I went to, I could think of ten ways it could go sideways, Secret Service or not. I was fully prepared for mayhem, on a hair-trigger the whole time. I was exhausted for DAYS after.
Flying into Afghanistan in a darkened plane, where you would be the greatest prize ever in a centuries-long conflict?
There’s only one explanation…
Trump is Batman.
Pres Trump re-tweeted this video with the Q Shirt in the background.
😀😁👍
And did you see the person pointed out the ‘Q?’
Awesome!
Fight Fight Fight…we all have a part
what is our part? what is My part?
Good to meditate on that as I end the day
Our President in stealth mode.
When I saw that first photo with AF1, it looked like a space ship to me.
T3, went back and took a look – Yes! It does look like a space ship.
I heard they were TITANIUM!
{{{whisper: his balls}}}
Ahh, there is a daily thread. I thought maybe everybody did what I did and look for a place to lie down after the meal. Just finished the third load of dishes I hear. I slept through the first two.
First round cycling; pot sink full.
There’s been some chatter about the blip/dark section on this recent Schumann Resonance Graph.
Q peeps have noticed that the blip happens at the 17 mark.
.
The Schumann Resonance is the electromagnetic frequency of our planet.
It’s called the heartbeat of mother earth…or the earth’s vibration.
I believe the White Hats know that anons are monitoring EVERYTHING, and are giving us reassurance.
The ‘Q’ video you posted above that Trump tweeted, this “cut-out” in the Schumann Resonance graph, etc. are ways to let us know they are still with us.
There is some major problem with 8-kun communication we are not aware of. It isn’t working properly, and they don’t seem to be able to get it fixed. The globalist powers that be have too much control of the internet. I think it is a real problem that needs to be addressed ASAP.
100 National Guardsmen are being deployed to Gitmo.
Is this…Notable?
https://twitter.com/anonforq/status/1200254212522872840?s=20
Story says it’s a unit swap out. What is nice about this is the unit leaving is from the Westover AFB MA. National Guard. Might be for the better.
Maybe they are getting ready for guests?
I would say being stationed at a tropical island in December isn’t such a bad deploy. Hopefully, some families can vacation in the area and the soldiers can meet up with them on their time off.
I think most of us are eagerly waiting to see how the new, enlarged facilities are going to be used….in the near future, please!
I saw this yesterday and looked up the news from other articles. I wonder if rotations of National Guard are normal there? The articles are I read said that they have been preparing for a year. They are a police unit.
Last night when I saw this story I just looked at news sources. This morning I looked at the official press release and, as I expected, this is not an increase of personnel on the island and the US has been rotating National Guard units to Cuba for some time.
“The Tennesseans will replace the U.S. Army Reserves’ 382nd Military Police Battalion from Westover, Massachusetts, who are currently deployed to Naval Station Guantanamo Bay as part of a regular rotation of forces. The 168th will be supporting police and security operations.”
https://www.tn.gov/military/news/2019/11/20/168th-military-police-battalion-to-deploy-and-honor-local-hero-.html
To me, the real issue is not that this is an indication of anything unusual. The problem this indicates to me is that the National Guard is now used as a routine, auxiliary force, more like an extension of the regular military v. a force that is each state’s own guard…they are indeed National and have been fully incorporated into the regular military.
So, do we have any actual state militia?
An elitist pedo is going to jail. …Good!
HMMMmm interesting thread on Rudy G., Manafort and Manafort’s partner Konstantin Kilimnik.

Heh. That’s probably why he went to Walter Reed on short notice — had to get his immunizations updated for Afghanistan.
Maybe so…
But you’d think that a doctor could come to the WH to do that.
Then, again – he rarely misses an opportunity to visit a wounded soldier – win/win
Some of those vaccines require medical backup – in POTUS’ case they’d take no chances even with a clinic in the White House.
Trump doesn’t get the flu vaccine. This was reported in Natural News. Just don’t know about the other vaccines.
HehHeh. I’ve been playing “Spot the Liberals” in the pictures of POTUS w/the troops. Not very many, as the majority love him and are proud and happy about his visit. The one in the pic above is Blatantly Obvious, can you find him?? 😁

The Epoch Times Hong Kong, you may remember, are the ones whose office/work areas were trashed by ChiCom thugs.
Seriously?
Bet Gunner could use a can opener before he was in 1st grade!
My children know how at a young age + they know to give the top of the cans a little wash and pat dry first because who knows what dust, dirt and germs on on the outside of the can and will be introduced to the food when the can is opened the the food is poured out. Who is bringing up these children?!
I have never owned an electric can opener. P38 or a hand opener like this one works just fine – and that’s for a commercial kitchen.
me either…never had an electric one
Oh my goodness! I am sitting here literally LOLing at myself for being so simple – because I never in even thought about an electric. I just thought, wow, he has never helped in the kitchen before or must have had take out and restaurant food all of the time. Yes, he might know how to open a can with an electric opener.
On 2nd thought, if he knew how to open with an electric then he would be familiar with the basic mechanism and should be able to transfer that to a manual…???
either way, its pitiful of him + parenting…and in 2 years he will vote. Many current 18 yr olds not much smarter than our current 16 yr olds!
Raise the draft, age for smoking and age for voting all to 21 and let these babies grow up a bit more before they can interfere with our elections.
Actually, our electric can opener looks and acts completely different from the one that’s puzzling the kid. It cuts around the top edge where the lid is folded over the sides. You don’t have to clean the top because the top is never punctured.
We had one of the hand can-openers (see below); wasn’t rusty like this one because we actually used it. If you know what you’re doing, you can open a can faster than an electric can opener.
The “youf” seems to be headed for a liberal arts degree, assisted by the nanny state in case he forgets to wipe his nose and wash his hands (hopefully in that order), before attempting to open anything…
Scouting used to help out with self-reliance, learning basic skills, and teamwork before it became stylish; indeed teamwork that was needed to survive. Most of today’s snowflakes couldn’t make the first day on a regular hike, let alone a survival hike, or a 50-miler in the Sierra… I think Scouting has been watered down (and gayed out), so it’s probably of no use anymore… sad…
Old Faithful (or old face full if you didn’t watch the lid 🙂 ):
I’ve never used one of those like yours except for bottle tops. We had the kind like his with a turn wheel, but the handle wasn’t plastic.

Good Morning, Weep! How are you? Did you have a Happy Thanksgiving?
Hope you got help throughout this latest challenge – i sent so many Angels – you have to be careful not to step on them – 🙂
Love you, lady – Have a Blessed Day! God loves you and so do I!!! Hugs!!!
Hi Duchess….my Thanksgiving was nice, I hope yours was as well. Yes….my challenge was just that and the help arrived and did their job…..fabulously. I’m always careful to listen to them and follow instructions. We still need them. I’m not yet fully healed, so a ways to go until I can go home, but I’m working hard. ❤️
P.S. Can’t stand up yet, so I can’t “step on anyone” 😉 Love you, too!!
Awww…then, the Angels are cuddling you and holding you in place so you don’t fall out of bed – Our Prayer Warrior group is with you daily in prayer – Weep – and the Angels are carrying those prayers right up to Heaven! Hugs!!!
Oh Wow! Reading that verse, 2 Sam 22:33, I was thinking, that one’s for Weeper, she needs to say that during PT. And then here you are!! God Bless you Dear Weeper, praying that you fight your way through to victory and heal quickly and completely in the name of Jesus. Amen. 💗
Hi bfly ❤️ TY
Natural News guy has an alert about The Old Dominion.The lunatics that were voted in giving Gov Babykiller Blackface a majority will be making everyone nearly a convicted felon if this can’t be stopped.
The State of Virginia, now entirely run by truly insane Democrats who support infanticide and child murder, is proposing a new 2020 law known as SB64 (see link here) which will be taken up by the Democrat-run Senate beginning January 8, 2020.
The law would instantly transform all martial arts instructors into criminal felons. This includes instructors who teach kickboxing, BJJ, Krav Maga, boxing and even Capoeira.
It would also criminalize all firearms training classes, including concealed carry classes.
It would even criminalize a father teaching his own son how to use a hunting rifle.
Specifically, the law says that a person “is guilty of unlawful paramilitary activity” (a class 5 felony) if that person:
“Assembles with one or more persons for the purpose of training with, practicing with, or being instructed in the use of any firearm, explosive, or incendiary device, or technique capable of causing injury or death to persons…”
The phrase “technique capable of causing injury or death to persons” covers all forms of martial arts and self-defense training, including Krav Maga, BJJ, boxing and other contact martial arts such as Tae Kwon Do or Tai Chi.
Under the proposed law, all forms of self-defense training — including hand-to-hand martial arts training — would be considered “paramilitary activity,” even if the training consists of private classes involving just one instructor and one student. That’s because every form of martial arts training imparts skills which could be used to cause injury to other persons.
In fact, according to the language of the law, just “one” person learning such arts is a felony crime, which means that watching a DVD on Krav Maga would be a felony crime.
Here is the full text of the proposed law:
SENATE BILL NO. 64
Offered January 8, 2020
Prefiled November 21, 2019
A BILL to amend and reenact §18.2-433.2 of the Code of Virginia, relating to paramilitary activities; penalty.
Bill Title: Paramilitary activities; penalty.
Spectrum: Partisan Bill (Democrat 1-0)
Status: (Introduced) 2019-11-21 – Referred to Committee for Courts of Justice
———-
Patron– Lucas
———-
Referred to Committee for Courts of Justice
———-
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:
1. That §18.2-433.2 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:
§18.2-433.2. Paramilitary activity prohibited; penalty.
A person shall be is guilty of unlawful paramilitary activity, punishable as a Class 5 felony if he:
1. Teaches or demonstrates to any other person the use, application, or making of any firearm, explosive, or incendiary device, or technique capable of causing injury or death to persons, knowing or having reason to know or intending that such training will be employed for use in, or in furtherance of, a civil disorder; or
2. Assembles with one or more persons for the purpose of training with, practicing with, or being instructed in the use of any firearm, explosive, or incendiary device, or technique capable of causing injury or death to persons, intending to employ such training for use in, or in furtherance of, a civil disorder; or
3. Assembles with one or more persons with the intent of intimidating any person or group of persons by drilling, parading, or marching with any firearm, any explosive or incendiary device, or any components or combination thereof.
2. That the provisions of this act may result in a net increase in periods of imprisonment or commitment. Pursuant to §30-19.1:4 of the Code of Virginia, the estimated amount of the necessary appropriation cannot be determined for periods of imprisonment in state adult correctional facilities; therefore, Chapter 854 of the Acts of Assembly of 2019 requires the Virginia Criminal Sentencing Commission to assign a minimum fiscal impact of $50,000. Pursuant to §30-19.1:4 of the Code of Virginia, the estimated amount of the necessary appropriation cannot be determined for periods of commitment to the custody of the Department of Juvenile Justice.

This is what happens when Democrats seize power
This insane level of tyranny is happening because Democrats now run the entire legislative and executive branches of the Virginia state government. Governor Ralph Northam — who openly confessed to advocating infanticide and child murder — is leading the charge to turn the great state of Virginia into a modern-day slave camp where no citizen is allowed to defend herself against the tyranny of the local government (which has gone completely insane and is now run by relentless criminals).
This demonstration of blunt force tyranny showcases the real plan of Democrats when it comes to disarming the American people: This was never about “commonsense gun reforms,” you see. In truth, it has always been about criminalizing the very idea of self-defense and self-reliance.
The government of Virginia, honestly stated, doesn’t want you to be able to defend yourself against violent criminals. Why? Because if you had the capacity to do that, you might also be able to defend yourself against the violence of oppressive, corrupt government, too.
It is now time to defeat all Democrats and remove them from office forever
When you are living in a state where you can be arrested and imprisoned for taking a self-defense class and learning how to kick, punch or shoot rapists and would-be violent criminals, you are living under a criminal enterprise of political tyranny that must be taken down and defeated.
Not coincidentally, this proposed new SB64 law would criminalize the very assembling of law-abiding citizens who might rise up and challenge the criminal tyrants in Richmond who are busy rigging the system to make sure no Virginian can ever challenge the tyranny of Democrat rule. In effect, Democrats are passing laws to criminalize resistance to tyranny in much the same way that Democrats in Congress are trying to impeach Trump for the “crime” of resisting a political coup.
You are watching a system of tyranny shore up its own defenses against informed citizens, knowing that the corruption of Democrats is so deeply embedded in their authoritarian rule that sooner or later, honest Virginians have both a right and a duty to oppose, defeat and dismantle that system of tyranny by all means afforded the citizens under the Constitution of the United States of America.
The process of transforming Virginia from a patriotic, independent, pro-liberty state (May 15, 1776) into a corrupt, authoritarian slave camp run by filthy left-wing criminals only took 243 years, by the way. And it happened because conservatives and patriots got too apathetic and lazy to take sufficient action to keep tyranny in check. While the citizens slumber in comfort, tyranny is always plotting its next takeover. The GOP of Virginia practically surrendered the state to the Democrats, even refusing to run candidates in many districts during recent elections.
Suddenly, the citizens of Virginia find themselves living under extremist left-wing tyranny. The thing about tyranny is that you can sleep your way into it, but history has shown that you have to fight your way out of it.
Today, Virginians are in the fight of their lives.
No wonder dozens of counties in Virginia are hurriedly declaring themselves to be Second Amendment Sanctuary Counties in order to escape the tyrannical rule of Richmond’s authoritarian tyrants.
How to declare your county a 2A Sanctuary county
If you live in Virginia or any other state where left-wing tyrants are trying to criminalize self-defense, read this important guide on how to get your own county declared a “2A Sanctuary” for human freedom and safety.
You might also want to get off your ass and work to defeat these tyrant lunatics before they destroy everything you value: Life, liberty and happiness.
If you’re a Virginian, your ancestors are practically demanding you take action to restore the liberty upon which Virginia was originally founded.
And if you can’t get rid of the left-wing lunatics in Richmond, at least you can plan to surround them with pro-2A counties while you wait for things to really hit the fan.
Real Virginians already know this is a do-or-die moment for the future of your state. Get to work, or you will lose everything. The Democrats aren’t just coming for your guns; they’re coming for your humanity and your very right to exist.
All this tyranny being unleashed against the citizens of Virginia, by the way, will soon be enforced across the entire country if the Democrats take the White House in 2020.
Count on it.
They will come for you and stick a gun in your face and throw you in prison. In fact, they are promising to do so. And they will then take your children and lock them in a public school transgender indoctrination camp where greasy pedophile men will waggle their junk in their faces while they role play sexual assault scenarios in the name of “tolerance.” Left-wing government has truly become a psychological terrorism racket that now preys upon children while seeking to crush all resistance from informed adults.
How long, exactly, did you plan to put up with this insanity?

Sounds like infringement of several rights (assembly, 2nd Amendment, freedom of speech, self defense and more)
blueridgemtsva; I appreciate the update JMO, should law makers from DC Beltway counties gather in their
Donut shaped. safe-zone of a bubble and make an attempt at such nonsense, the rest of the state would and should initiate an immediate Governor recall , wrest authority from such tyrants from office.
It is sheer folly to think anyone , or any body of government can legislate self defense away from any human .
Completely Un-enforceable from it’s inception .
This is nothing more than an attempt to create an imaginary safe-zone for themselves
That Genie has escaped from the bottle a long time ago
This is nothing more than an attempt to create an imaginary safe-zone for themselves.
Sincerely,
Your cousin from north of the river
The Va. Citizens Defense League, Conservatives and Pro-Trump GOP has been very active with getting County governments to declare their counties as Second Amendment Sanctuaries. All up and down the Shenandoah Valley, counties have become Sanctuary counties for gun owners. See the VCDL website for pix of the massive crowds at these sanctuary meetings. You can subscribe to their free newsletter. Also you can send in a contribution to help with the fight for our rights.
Some of the Virginia cities might be persuaded to become sanctuary cities. That is the plan anyway.
This is the VCDL website:https://vcdl.org/
I finally figured out WHY Virginia (and other demonRat slime pits) are PRO-Illegal and ANTI self defense.
FOLLOW the MONEY.
Carlos the Thug and Sammy the Shoplifter. STEAL
Carlos & Sammy buy drugs (and prostitutes) from their local dealer.
The Dealer buys from the distributor
Distributor buys from the Cartel
The cartel pays off the cops, mayors, governors, senators Congresscritters, judges….
So a citizen DEFENDING themselves cuts into the PROFITS…
Sending illegals back home cuts into the PROFITS….
KEEPING Blacks in poverty where the only visible means of ‘bettering’ yourself is gangs, theft prostitution and drug running INCREASES PROFITS
Planned Parenthood returns the prostitutes back into money makers FAST.
It is ALL ABOUT THE MONEY!!!
Always and forever, amen.
There is a push to recall Northham. Here is the link for the petition. https://virginiaconservatives.net/recall-radical-ralph-northam
Republican asks for recount in Virginia House race
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — A Republican member of the Virginia House of Delegates is asking for a recount after official results show him losing by less than 30 votes.
Rep. Chris Stolle said on Monday that he has requested a recount after the State Board of Elections certified that he lost to Democrat Nancy Guy by 27 votes out of more than 20,000 cast.
https://wset.com/news/at-the-capitol/republican-asks-for-recount-in-virginia-house-race
Satan’s little gargoyle Geo. Sore rose was part of the Old Dominion money train that also brought in doomberg money to bring in libtard candidates to run for delegate/senator offices in the last election.
“And it happened because conservatives and patriots got too apathetic and lazy to take sufficient action to keep tyranny in check. While the citizens slumber in comfort, tyranny is always plotting its next takeover. ”

This may be true…..but
Most “Conservatives” have JOBS and are busy taking care of there families.
Yes, We Conservatives have been lax in following and/or participating in politics.
We have been entirely DUPED by the MSM into believing that the “government” had our best interest at heart.
(Boy were we wrong). Thanks to President Trump, things are changing for the better.
Tough times ahead maybe….. but, Better times ahead after that.
I’m not to excited about the IG report…… bt I am about the Barr/Durham reports.
There’s other little things in play with the people in state government, IMO.
One, the Democrat bench is deep. They plan for this. They train their people to vote en masse, and loyalty is more important to them than doing the right thing.
Two, there are movements from high tax states to no tax states (regardless of ACTUAL cost of living in those areas which I find to be really expensive). I don’t care if “studies” claim this is not happening. It is. And given a choice when someone moves to a new metropolitan region, the newcomers WILL choose to live in the state with the lower cost of living. I see it all the time here. Missouri is much cheaper to live in than Illinois, and they don’t property taxes across the river, something that the people moving there from Missouri tout, but overall, the tax burden is higher when you figure in gas, food and more.
Three, when all this moving happens, the people coming in DO INDEED vote the way they did in previous states. Catty corner behind us a couple moved in from California, and an Obama for president sign landed in their yard. They’ve moved since, but their voting habits were imported with them.
It’s pretty much the same thing in Virginia from what I can tell. The Washington workers moved to the state that is cheaper to live in, and they brought their voting habits. It’s not that they don’t have jobs, just that they don’t get out of their echo chambers long enough to realize that they are voting for their own enslavement.
If none of the above makes sense, I blame it on the martinis yesterday. Of course, me being the bartender, who knows how much of it ended up in the gravy even if my sister usually uses white wine.
Virginia has changed almost completely in the 39 years I have lived there.
I blame at least part of the current situation on the “Virginia Gentlemen Republicans” who served/still serve, in both houses of the Virginia legislature + the same types on the local levels of government (county supervisors, etc.). For DECADES, it’s been a game of “reaching across the aisle”, “go along to get along” maneuvering.
Results: taxes for everything have been going up across the board — worst offender: real estate taxes. New taxes imposed that weren’t there before (example: meals taxes).
Example: CHARLOTTESVILLE is rapidly turning into a place of EITHER people who make over $150,000 a year, OR people who make under $60,000 a year. Result: school teachers, police officers, junior-level employees at UVA, can’t afford to own a house in the city. They live in the somewhat-cheaper surrounding counties and do the commute. I don’t count the increasing numbers of people who live on welfare. I will say, however, that EVEN THESE surrounding counties — Greene; Fluvanna; Augusta — are being changed into Democrat-controlled fiefdoms — and THEIR taxes are going up.
Here’s how the real estate increase tax scam works: EITHER the value of your property goes up artificially due to “reassessment”; OR, the value or your property remains the same but the TAX RATE goes up. Anybody who has large land holdings (family famers, etc.) are hammered. So what does the state legislators do? They pass a law establishing “Conservation Zones” that are tax-deferred or tax-exempt, under the condition that the property owner GIVES UP THEIR LAND TO THE STATE.
That’s how “all of a sudden” there are swaths of land that’s “available” to local governments in Virginia for conversion into parks, nature conservancies, etc.
Virginia is NOT a cheaper place to live in, now — unless one is comparing it to living in, say, San Francisco.
The higher tax assessment/property taxes issue is everywhere. Without looking at the line item roll ups in the various government accounting software, it’s hard to say why and where all the cash is going. I suspect pension funds, and around here, new fire trucks every five years.
STL county went through reassessment this past year, and a lot of people got their assessment adjusted when it went up to the point that a lot of home owners said, “if I could actually get this for this house, I’d be out of here”, including the homeowner where I live. What the governments bank on is individuals not taking the time to research actual real estate prices, and pay for a real assessment from the companies that advise real estate agents so as to challenge the one from the government. That way, people just pay the government the extra rather than bother.
I can’t say what’s going on with the farms, but we have a largely Republican state government, so I would imagine it’s not quite as confiscatory.
I’ve lived in Virginia since the 1960s.
Giant nothingburger.
SCOTUS will strike down as unConstitutional if enacted by the progs.
It’s only useful as yet another indicator of what’s in store for us if the DemonRats ever get restored to full power.
IMO Everything here is right. It’s the implementation of the law is where they will claim hyperbole. It comes down to enforcement by the State Attorney general or lessors. They don’t have to and likely will not use the wider net to go after those like the martial arts people ‘at first’ but this law green lights enforcement toward anything they direct it at to include them. I would expect an incremental approach but in this case they won’t have to write new law every time. They’ll just come back to this, which makes putting all their eggs in one basket their Achilles heel. As soon as one case comes up the Federal courts level they can potentially swat the whole law.
Nice to know we are taking over the judiciary. All of this crap needs to surface in the federal courts so it can be swatted down.

Black Friday Chaos: Thousands of savvy shoppers wait hours in line before fighting over special deals as die-hard customers walk out with shopping carts piled high
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7737703/Black-Friday-Chaos-Thousands-shoppers-wait-hours-line-fighting-special-deals.html
One time our family went to Lenox Square in Atlanta the day after Thanksgiving – the noise and crowd were horrific….
Never again.
I’m debating whether to even go to the grocery store and fish market today.
Grocery stores are pretty safe bets… no new deals until next Wed. Everybody is stuffed, most have a refrigerator full of food. The only consideration is traffic or if you happen to have one that’s not by a lot of other stores, then traffic’s not a bother.
The fish market on the other hand…. I would bet it’s in a spot where there’s a whole lot of other stores…..
I made it back from my shopping trip. There were several others waiting at 6:00 am for the farm store to open. Unfortunately they did not have all the items I wanted in stock so we crammed the stuff we already bought in the horse trailer, tied it in place and as the dawn sky was turning beautiful colors drove to the next big town 40 miles away. We got the stuff we wanted jumped back into the horse trailer and got back home by 8: 30 before the crazies hit the road.
In and out…smart lady! Did they have Black Friday sales at the farm store and that’s why you got up at that obscene hour ? 😁
One day I would love to read your story of the decision to become a farmer/goat herder/horse owner (did I leave anything out?)
Oh yes 10%, 20% and 25% off. When you are talking a $1,000 or more in fencing supplies it is worth the trip.
Indeed!
I am not familiar with St. Jacob, but he sounds interesting.
At first, I read that as “Bishop of Batman”.

Are not all Christians saints? If this one is special, where is the Scriptural Authority to distinguish this one from any other? Is God or Christ a respecter of persons?

Did Christ approve of religious titles… or warn against them?
“But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.” (Matthew 23:8, KJV)

“Flute of the Holy Spirit” and “Harp of the Believing Church”
___________
Does the believing church HAVE a flute or a harp… or any other musical instrument?
Singing without instrumental accompaniment is the Christian practice, which is where the term “a cappella” comes from.
Or were musical instruments added to worship by men, without Authority in the New Testament?
What do Thomas Aquinas and nearly ever Protestant Reformation leader say, along with the early church fathers, all the way back to Clement of Alexandria who lived long enough ago that he may have known John personally?
Long, LONG list of quotes available, from Clement of Alexandria, Tertullian, Eusebius, Augustine, Chrysostom, Thomas Aquinas, Luther, Erasmus, Calvin, Beza, Spurgeon, Wesley and Clarke, et al.
All the way back to approximately 40 years after the Apostle John is thought to have left this world, within the timeframe of living memory of people who JOHN the Apostle knew *personally*:
JUSTIN MARTYR, 139AD:
“The use of [instrumental] music was not received in the Christian churches, as it was among the Jews, in their infant state, but only the use of plain song…. Simply singing is not agreeable to children [the aforementioned Jews], but singing with lifeless instruments and with dancing and clapping is. On this account the use of this kind of instruments and of others agreeable to children is removed from the songs of the churches, and there is left remaining simply singing.”
Also numerous historical sources to include:
…………………
the Catholic Encyclopedia Vol 10, (p. 648-652),
The History of Music, Encyclopedia of Religion and Ethics,
New Oxford History of Music: The Music of Post-Biblical Judaism,
Fessenden’s Encyclopedia of Art and Music (p. 852),
American Encyclopedia, Vol. 12 (p. 688),
Chambers Encyclopedia, Vol. 7 (p. 112),
New Catholic Encyclopedia: History of Sacred Music (X, p. 106), et al.
…………………
The term “a cappella” literally means singing without instrumental accompaniment. In Latin, “a capella” means “in the manner of the chapel” or “in the manner of the church.”
THAT is where the term ‘a capella’ comes from!
From the early church!
.
“Assyrian priest-monk, theologian, mystic, poet, hymnographer, hagiographer, liturgist, and Bishop of Batnan, in Roman Osroene, where he died on this day in A.D. 521.”
_____________
By what Authority is any man in Christ’s church designated with the special title or office of ‘priest’? Are not all Christians a royal priesthood (1 Peter 2:9), with Christ as our High Priest? (Heb 2:17, Heb 3:1, Heb 4:14-15, Heb 5:10, Heb 6:20, Heb 7:26, Heb 8:1, Heb 9:11, Heb 10:21)
The qualifications to be a deacon or bishop (a.k.a. elder) are given by God in Scripture, to include being the husband of one wife and father of faithful children (which many not only ignore but doctrinally defy), where are the qualifications in the New Testament to be a member of a separate priestly class?
.
It’s like reading a laundry list of things that have nothing to do with Christianity — or worse, stand in defiance of God’s Word — and then venerating that list as a model of reverence.
I know and completely understand that people mean well, I don’t doubt that at all.
I mean well also.
The truth is out there.
All we have to do is look. 👍
edit / correction: “
all the way back to Clement of Alexandria who lived long enough ago that he may have known John personally?”I was thinking of Justin Martyr, who preceded Clement, but not far enough back to have known John personally. I found the quote from Justin Martyr (and date), but forgot to correct the words above it.
Justin Martyr lived long enough ago that he could have known older Christians who knew John personally.
The bulge kind of kills it.
Bad idea, Kamala.
And the hairy chest.

Twitter CEO Says He’s Moving to Africa Next Year Because Continent Will ‘Define Future’
https://sputniknews.com/africa/201911291077430125-twitter-ceo-moving-africa-next-year-continent-will-define-future/
It’s not far enough to hide from justice. We’ll get ’em, at some point.
He has spent a dew days in Africa recently. It seems he hasn’t paid close attention to the status quo in South Africa or Zimbabwe (among other countries).
Psst, Jack. It’s damn near illegal to be white in Africa. It really is a capital crime to be rich and white in Africa.
I really thought he would drop anchor in New Zealand. He must have been watching Robert Redford movies recently.
Being there for 3 months is a vacation, not a move. My guess, it’s definitely a “working vacation” to expand his sphere of influence and income.
If he wants that sort of ambience, he can just move to Lesterville south of here. Same difference to an extent.
Must be some scheme afoot..Prince Harry says they want to move to Africa too
I think the Queen told Harry even BEFORE the marriage that he and what’s her name would be moving to
Africa…
lol..maybe!
In a sense, Dorkey has it right, as the invaders from Africa are defining our future here in Germany.
Someone from the UN (or perhaps OECD) said that we Europeans should not fuss about the hundreds of thousands of Refauxgees streaming in unabated; they have plans for up to a BILLION “migrants”… That sounds like pure Coudenhove-Kalergi… in other words, pure work of the Devil…

A choir member was flying yesterday. It’s pretty typical that music people play/sing morning services and take off afterwards.
I suspect just about all airline people work this one. The airport noise today has been continuous.
Actually, there are many thousands of LESS flights on Thanksgiving day. Same for Christmas. I almost didn’t get home from a 4 day yesterday because of it but I got the jump seat on the last plane out thanks to my seniority. I know of at least 5 pilots that didn’t get home and had to stay in a hotel last night instead.

Yes, and the 11:30AM news update on 700WLW played the ABC News reporter stating that “the police believe that the attack is not terror-related”.
UNLESS it is completely proven otherwise — it is another incident of JIHAD. And not a “lone-wolf” event.
In Islam, there is NO SUCH THING as a “lone-wolf” incident of Jihad. Once a Muslim accepts the concept of Jihad against the kuffar, it becomes their DUTY to perform it in whatever way possible. The goal is to either intimidate, OR convert, OR to kill the kuffar. “Mental health issues”, “problems at home”, are smokescreens / lies / coverups.

Follow the Money. Follow the wives.
Just those 2 pieces of advice help connect many dots.
Also, parents, current friends & school/college friends and CV for past employers and past co works.
But the first two yield big and then the rest.

Sometimes I wonder if I think about the obscure too much before I have done the obvious. The obscure & out of the box is Good and often needed but if I haven’t thought to do the basics first then I hinder the obscure connections I could make and I send myself down dead end roads that could have been avoided had I just done my basic homework.
In case anyone thinks Huber isn’t doing anything, I agree with this reminder.
“but then he stood back and put that on hold” – note the AG Barr isn’t saying nothing was being done about the FISC investigation. “Durham’s taking over that role.”

If this is true….
Something to consider . . .
Do you think, possibly, in order to become a CIA agent (like Strzok . . . he was planted as an FBI agent), that a CIA candidate must avow he will betray his marriage to further the goals of his particular CIA assignment?
What subset of people then, do you suppose end up as CIA agents?
Jus’ askin’ for a friend.
I’m wondering how many of the high powered and almost incestuous intelligence community marriages are arranged.
Well if they weren’t before, the Strozk wifey might force that to happen!! We gotta breakup these agency cabals. The ‘civil service’ mode of employment is NOT working.
only sociopaths and psychopaths need apply…
Reminds me of this gem:
The C_A had an opening for an assassin.
After all of the background checks, interviews, and testing were done,
there were three finalists: two men and a woman. For the final test,
the C_A agents took one of the men to a large metal door and handed him a gun.
“We must know that you will follow your instructions, no matter what the circumstances.
Inside of this room, you will find your wife sitting in a chair. Kill Her!!!”
The man said, “You can’t be serious; I could never shoot my wife.”
The agent replied, “OK, then you’re not the right man for this job.”
The second man was given the same instructions. He took the gun and went into the room.
All was quiet for about five minutes. Then the man came out with tears in his eyes.
“I tried, but I can’t kill my wife.”
The agent said, “You don’t have what it takes. Take your wife and go home.”
Finally, it was the woman’s turn. She was given the same instructions, to kill her husband.
Taking the gun, she went into the room. Shots were heard, one after another.
There was screaming, crashing, and banging on the walls.
After a few minutes, all was quiet. The door opened slowly and there stood the woman.
She wiped the sweat off her brow, and said, “This gun is loaded with blanks!
I had to beat him to death with the chair!”
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned

I’m almost wondering if this is yet another attempt by the leftards to paint conservatives with the Nazi brush. A sort of “false flag”, if you will.
The left has consistently referred to the Nazis as extreme right-wing, even though they were far left. Now, the refer to anyone and everyone who is conservative (e.g. the AfD) as being a Nazi.
I smell Satan $oros behind this…

Anybody have any ideas on what to do with leftover cranberries? Asking for a friend. 😉
I’ll look online, but I’m not all that hopeful.
Since you’re probably well fed and all baked out, you can freeze ’em and use ’em later in all kinds of baked goods.
Actually, I saw a lot of suggestions to add a dollop to yogurt. We eat a lot of yogurt. May go that route.
Freeze them or make cranberry orange muffins or quick bread, fresh cranberry relish (grind with whole seedless orange in food processor, add sugar and maybe a little ginger to taste)….
You can also decorate with cranberries…. string them on the tree with popcorn… I never do, because I can’t stand to waste food.
They’re already cooked into sauce. We’re thinking about experimenting with marinades for meat, actually.
Only use cranberries as a marinade if you want shocking pink meat! Hee-hee.
Cooked cranberry sauce mixed with orange marmalade and pecans will make a nice conserve or relish for leftover turkey sandwiches.
Some people use jelled whole berry cranberry sauce with cream cheese on crackers and party sandwiches with or without chicken or turkey.
Yeah, next to no left over turkey, either. No sweet potatoes, no gravy, but there’s quite a bit of pie.
I forgot – you can freeze leftover cranberry sauce and make cranberry orange jello salad with orange sections, chopped celery, a cream cheese topping and sprinkle with pecans! That is awesome with baked chicken, turkey or ham!
Hmm…I’m wondering if we add vodka and make shots….
Hmmm.
Catholics and Episcopalians for every four of ’em, there’s a fifth.
At least.

Somewhere I remember reading about this, that the Calvinists we now know as the Pilgrims (where were they pilgrimaging to?) started out as a communal group, and that contributed to them almost starving out until Squanto, a native American who happened to speak perfect English (long story why this was the case) taught them how to survive.
https://fee.org/articles/why-the-pilgrims-abandoned-common-ownership-for-private-property/?fbclid=IwAR0s8fIa4_e3VHF5HRK3ikJqJZ5ImjwEh5sjpgeO4YXPLF1xvjFxUXiO8aE
Why the Pilgrims Abandoned Common Ownership for Private Property
The first few years of Plymouth colony were fraught with hardship and hunger. Economics had a lot to do with it.
Monday, November 25, 2019
Next year at this time, Americans will mark the 400th anniversary of the landing of the Mayflower in 1620 and the subsequent founding of the Plymouth colony by English Separatists we know as the Pilgrims. They, of course, became the mothers and fathers of the first Thanksgiving.
The Common Property Approach
The first few years of the settlement were fraught with hardship and hunger. Four centuries later, they also provide us with one of history’s most decisive verdicts on the critical importance of private property. We should never forget that the Plymouth colony was headed straight for oblivion under a communal, socialist plan but saved itself when it embraced something very different.
In the diary of the colony’s first governor, William Bradford, we can read about the settlers’ initial arrangement: Land was held in common. Crops were brought to a common storehouse and distributed equally. For two years, every person had to work for everybody else (the community), not for themselves as individuals or families. Did they live happily ever after in this socialist utopia?
Hardly. The “common property” approach killed off about half the settlers. Governor Bradford recorded in his diary that everybody was happy to claim their equal share of production, but production only shrank. Slackers showed up late for work in the fields, and the hard workers resented it. It’s called “human nature.”
The disincentives of the socialist scheme bred impoverishment and conflict until, facing starvation and extinction, Bradford altered the system. He divided common property into private plots, and the new owners could produce what they wanted and then keep or trade it freely.
Communal socialist failure was transformed into private property/capitalist success, something that’s happened so often historically it’s almost monotonous. The “people over profits” mentality produced fewer people until profit—earned as a result of one’s care for his own property and his desire for improvement—saved the people.
Although steeped in the Bible, they apparently forgot about the “If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat.” part of it.
Ha ha ha! You can bet that if she was a lib spewing communist talking points, she never would have been fired.
Whomever fired HER should be fired.

I mean, you’d think it would be a healthy thing to be skeptical of an industry (vaccines) that is not allowed to be sued. SInce 1986. But, nooooooooo! You should hear my nurse friends and family on the topic. No disagreement or logic allowed.
The inconsistency of left-supporters / Democrats on vaccines versus all pharmaceuticals is very interesting, and strikes me as a form of mind control which is specifically interested in vaccines. Not sure what the logic is, TBH.
Yes, except that the most militant of the pro-vax people in my life is NOT a Democrat.
HA! This is bullshit. The reason Cankles made that tweet is because I dumped information about the murder of that CF vaccine gal on the thread about Jennifer Jaynes, when somebody asked if the Clintons were behind any of this stuff.
The leftists immediately saw this stuff and got it back to Cankles’ and Schiffty’s forces.
The Clintons have to be nervous as hell on this. That CF gal was a TARGETED KILLING I am certain.
Bumping this vaccine vid that I saw the other day. Even though allegedly created to inhibit radical religious fundamentalism who’s the one the now determines which religion’s beliefs are extreme?
Interesting how matter of fact they ask about how this will be dispersed…aerosol, they ask? as if that is a common means of releasing viruses into a population.
Just what are these people capable of?!!!
Medicine and trust are going to be huge issues. The time to rein in the baddery is NOW.
We have learned that the fed gov is corrupt in almost every department/agency to the point of criminal conspiracy, being seemingly above the law and completely discounting the US citizen as an agency of free will and an independent free person. They have Zero respect for the boundaries the US Constitution is supposed to place around them.
Why would the CDC, the vaccine industry and the military use of viruses and vaccines be Any different than Any of the other agencies? Why would that area of the gov and corp USA/globalist corporations be any different than the rest? How does one have Any trust in them after all that is already known about all else?
The harmful ingredients in vaccines greatly outweigh the benefits … and yes, medical background and deep research in to the studies (not one of which was Wakefield, etc.) as shown on JAMA + damaged family members. Nope – not for us ever again. Family has backgrounding pharma research. Again, deep background studies.
Be wise in your decisions – risks either way (to the diseases/viruses & from the vaccines). Either choices must be done in a fully informed way.
BTW, could the use of a virus to infect the brain be considered biological warfare and even terrorist use of biological warfare? Is the area of the brain lighting up a violent response to religion and therefore a mutation of God’s design? Was that just anyone who holds deep religious convictions or only those prone to violence in the name of their religious convictions?
Well said MM..the advances can be a blessing or a curse . The problem for me is I no longer trust any of them. Are flu shots, shingles shots, HPV and others to help or for monetary gain.
I don’t want any govt administering vaccines to curb extremeism by targeting the brain. We’ve slipped over the edge wanting to be God I think and to control other humans based on who ever has the pharmaceutical in their hand
Getting rid of fake news is going to really fix this. These are questions THE PEOPLE need to discuss. More later!
Apparently there are (unconfirmed) reports that Ms. Jaynes KILLED HERSELF with those 2 gunshots to her head.
My opinion: UNTIL it’s completely proven otherwise —
I have a bridge to sell you. And —
Ms. Jaynes had a visit from VINCE FOSTER.
Yes, the whole thing is uncertain b/c nothing is in the press – a VERY COMMON situation when there is suicide or APPARENT SUICIDE.
I am particularly knowledgeable of a case of suicide that was determined to be a murder years later. Everybody who knew the victim KNEW it was a murder. When the murderer was arrested for OTHER murders, the connection to the victim was exposed, and it is now believed that this “suicide” was the very first murder by the perp.
Yes, and Jaynes death has been ruled a ‘suicide’ ………….. two bullets to the head.
https://amarketnews.com/2019/11/28/jennifer-jaynes-death-obituary/
I literally do not get how anyone can shoot themselves twice in the head. One shot and it would seem one would be immediately unable to function well enough to pull off the second shot. Takes strength and ability to shoot…is this even possible in real life?
Maga Mom,
It’s the ruling that’s a lie… she was murdered, she couldn’t possibly have shot herself twice, in the head.
I felt kind of dumb to ask because I don’t see how such a thing is physically possible. However, I figured that if it these cases are ruled suicide then it must not be impossible as why would they lie so blatantly? How could they not be called out by press and law enforcement on such blatant, absurd lies? Confusing … foster and now her and others….?? guess I was playing into their hands thinking it must be true of why else would everyone go along with it? Emperor has no clothes and everyone is scared to say it. Thank goodness for President Trump!
I person offing themselves with two shots to the head – or, as in local lore ’cause this really did happen, hanging oneself with hands tied behind the back – is one of the great mysteries of the universe. Upon reaching St. Peter, and the pearly gates, we all *might* be gifted with eternal consciousness that tells us how this is possible.
Sorry. Meant to say “A person.” I just had to hang up on my SIL who said something snide under her breath when I called to talk to a nephew who actually knew where he put my mother’s purse. Ticked me off.
There ARE cases where 2 shots take place, BUT they should exhibit certain very specific characteristics that are almost DEFINITIVE for suicide.
However, not all suicides are the same.
Sometimes people are coerced into suicide. Other times they are talked into it. Worst of all, thanks to the evil scientist work of the CIA and Sidney Gottlieb, there are neurotoxins (drugs) which can basically drive people to commit suicide, through induction of depression, anxiety, and other mental disorders, and the outward appearance is almost identical to organic mental illness and suicide. People who have been poisoned with these things have only one real hope if they can’t live with the damage without treatment – that is to get treatment and play along that it’s “natural”.
Believable IMH.
Ever watched the movie made in 2005 called The Constant Gardner?
New article up by some rascal named Wolf Moon about Barack Obama trying to set up Trump on WAR with North Korea, over on OTH (over there here).
https://utree.home.blog/2019/11/29/barack-obama-war-pig/
Is venturing over there going to require a helmet and a flack jacket?
No… very quiet actually… refined even… 😉
Really?
Really.
Yeah, not threatening at all. Besides, you can hold your own.
So, when the UTree people take tea, do they drink with their pinkies up?
Not sure they drink tea ! I’ve gone over several times… seems like the QTree, more academic discussion at UTree, ’til today when Wolfie busted out with this excellent article ………..
“So, when the UTree people take tea, do they drink with their pinkies up?”
_______________
Tea?
We don’t need no stinkin’ tea, hahahahah!
“Is venturing over there going to require a helmet and a flack jacket?”
____________
Nah… helmets are for sissies, and we dodge bullets like Neo in the Matrix, so as Phil Collins once said, no (flack) jacket required 😁
My college degree is in communications. Flak jackets were required for graduation.
Well this is post-graduate stuff, so you’ll be fine 😁
Let’s just say that the suicide bomber and the anti-religious picket are both gone. But it’s still a bit of an “at your own risk” thing!!! 😀
Seriously, it’s been nice there lately.
Well, somebody should put a stop to that real fast before twitter finds out we’re running a pansy parlor.
“Let’s just say that the suicide bomber and the anti-religious picket are both gone. But it’s still a bit of an “at your own risk” thing!!! ”

I tried to help…
I set a perfect ‘anchor’ or ‘brand’, and nobody caught on!
Over on Utree, he replied to someone, and it was over the top as usual, and then ended with ‘bite me’. And I just started laughing. It was just so relentlessly offensive and juvenile that the image of Beavis popped into my head, and that’s when I figured it out.
‘Beavis and Butthead’ was a cartoon that I think used to be on MTV. Back in the 1990s, maybe.
The “Beavis” character was constantly snickering to himself, constantly coming up with antisocial behavior, and constantly destructive… and of all people, his buddy Butthead — who had plenty of his own problems — was the moderating influence on Beavis.
And that’s what I think he was doing. He was playing Beavis — or something roughly analogous. He wasn’t trying to hurt anyone’s feelings, it was more like an inside joke. I think he wanted people to figure it out…. but on their own.
After I posted in reply to his confrontational comment to someone else, I wasn’t able to ‘like’ his post to let him know, because I can’t figure out how to get my ‘likes’ to work on Utree. But he found my reply to his comment anyway. He didn’t say a single word in response. He just ‘liked’ it in return. Acknowledging it, but not wanting to draw attention to it by replying, because then everybody might ‘get it’.
Once everybody ‘gets it’, the ‘game’ would be over, because people wouldn’t respond with shock or hostility anymore.
He was playing ‘Beavis’, but not telling anyone he was playing ‘Beavis’, we were supposed to figure it out. That’s the game. Once everybody figures it out, the game is over.
That was my theory, anyway.
So when I replied to one of his harsh posts to somebody, I commented in an amusing way that he reminded me of Beavis, whose whole shtick was to be relentlessly over-the-top — that was the one thing we could always count on with Beavis.
Whether I was right about it just being a game or not, that was Checkmate.
He could either respond by attacking me and others, reinforcing the exact ‘brand’ I just gave him, or he could stop attacking people. Those were the only two possible choices.
The stage was set.
The next time he went off on someone, all anyone had to do was say “Settle down, Beavis!“, the classic retort to all of Beavis’ manic behavior in the ‘Beavis and Butthead’ cartoon series.
It was perfect.
It would immediately eliminate whatever tension his post might have caused, and replace the tension with laughter.
And there is no way out of that trap, if it had been sprung. It’s a catch-22. If he fights it, if he complains, or if he continues the behavior, it only reinforces the ‘Beavis’ brand, and has people laughing at his posts instead of being upset by them.
The only way to stop people from replying to EVERY nasty comment he makes with ‘Settle Down, Beavis!‘ would be for him to stop making nasty comments.
‘Settle down, Beavis!‘ becomes the reply to any and every attack he could ever make going forward.
And HE knew it.
HE recognized it. It would have been most obvious to him.
That’s why he ‘liked’ my post and backed away. I think it was a game to him, and he knew I had figured a way out.
I went to bed LAUGHING that night, just thinking about how PERFECT it was.
I tried to TELL you about it, over in the ‘Authors’ thread, when I asked T3 if it was a private thread or if everyone could ‘see’ it. I was looking for a way to ALERT you to what I had set up, so you might not ban him before it had a chance to work, but there is no way to contact you privately without risk of having it published, which would have blown the whole thing.
A day or two later, I found out he was banned, and when I checked the Utree thread, NOBODY caught onto the ‘Settle down, Beavis!’ reply that I had teed-up.
It was right there, ready to be knocked out of the park — the stuff of legend, lol!
But that’s how it goes sometimes. Like a comedy team, sometimes the straight-man misses the cue, or vice-versa.
The best laid plans of mice and men. 😁
I think you’re right.
But just add this thought. There are things which are perfectly deniable and excusable and “innocent” in the absolute and theoretical – or when examined legally – which become guaranteed to work an opposite effect in reality. Such things are WEAPONS. The spy world, and the world of the political operative, LOVES THAT STUFF.
“Oh, but yeah, there is just a wee bit of friction.” At which point it BURNS UP ON RE-ENTRY.
Same idea.
Ultimately, this could not be “Suicide Bomber Showcase”. We cannot get all the atoms and molecules of air out of the way. Even with all the secret messaging in the world (Maxwell’s Demon), which just opens up NEW avenues of attack.
Brilliant and beautiful statistical psychology. Which others understand, and I have to fight every fucking day.
Sorry, just ranting at the job. Q calls these people stupid, but it’s all relative. They keep me busy! 😉
700WLW, 2:30PM news report:
And, guess what, just like that — POOF — now it’s this: “The suspect who was shot and killed in the latest incident on London Bridge was found to be wearing an explosive vest. The police are treating the attack as an act of terrorism.”
It turned out the vest was fake, but the attack is still being treated as an act of terrorism.
Perp had been convicted in 2012 for terrorism then released (by a judge) a few years later with an electronic tag, in accordance with the laws at the time.
The conference he and other early-release crims were attending was one for prisoner advocacy for early release. It was sponsored by a learning unit at Cambridge University.
Interestingly, the first victim to die was a Cambridge graduate who helped organise the conference.
I will have more on my site on this today (Monday).
The general public did beautifully in tackling this guy and wresting his knife away before the police dealt with him.
No doubt the ‘general public’ is getting tired of the UK’s muslims as well as the laws protecting the muslims from any negative remarks or judgments of their barbarism.
The British are sick of the terror attacks.
6 of the terrorists cronies have been released from prison:

There was a good public reaction to the pre-election attack in 2017. I was away at the time so don’t know all the details, but men in the area at the time reacted instantly.

I never understand that… I mean, I guess I do, but it’s just so strange. When I was a kid, if you did something wrong, your family were the LAST people to back you up, and your neighbors weren’t any help either, LOL!
Your parents were the first people who would rat you out!
Today, kids get in trouble, caught red-handed, and all the parents do is make excuses and blame everyone on the planet except their precious delinquent — who Mommy swears up and down has never down a wrong thing in his or her entire life, despite the extensive sealed records… 😁
Since the video does not present the full context, I thought it was possible that Tucker presented what others say in order to refute them. But I don’t think that’s what happened.
A little research yielded this article, which says that Tucker was defending Pres. Trump by saying everyone knows he’s a BS artist, and that it’s when Pres. Trump tells the truth that they are most offended (like his comment about the caliber of immigrants being sent here, “not the best”).
https://www.inquisitr.com/5767492/tucker-carlson-donald-trump-bs-artist/
I get tired of articles that largely support Pres. Trump but have to insert at least one criticism or snide remark. To me, what Tucker did here is that, on steroids. IMO, it is inexcusable for a Trump supporter to disparage him in such a gratuitous way that would make his enemies cheer (not that Tucker has to be a supporter, and at least we know who he is now).
Don’t believe Tucker is MAGA or Trump supporter. More Libertarian, I think. Tucker commonly calls out the stooopidity and hypocrisy of D-Rats and deep state. That and facts drive Tucker to speak well of President Trump normally, as President Trump has delivered sterling results for nearly three years.
I watched the whole clip yesterday, and Tucker was basically calling the President a huckster, and one with B.S. and car salesman skills. I was disgusted. Carlson was a condescending jerk.Wanted to tell him he should return to his bowties, more in line with his clown style.
Tucker is working for FOX masters, and isn’t going to let his paycheck be threatened. He’s a libertarian, but that doesn’t excuse being an idiot or ignorant.
In fact, that headline, “Donald Trump BS con artist” is what Drudge ran as his big headline yesterday. I despised Tucker for his trashing POTUS like that. He deliberately gave the Left ammunition.
Tucker lying himself. Nothing the President says in B.S. Tucker doesn’t get DJT. Hope POTUS stays away from Tucker and his clown gang at FOX.
Eddie Munster influence?
Trumpismine, I agree. Caught that clip via CitizenFreePress, and was ticked off. Never had much regard for Carlson, though I thought he was better than this. Now he can return to his bowties and clown shows.
Very disrespectful. I’m glad someone called him out. Here’s my input.
Totally agree….
This for you Tucker…. Hissssssssssss🐍
Tucker was one of the last FOX commentators that I occasionally tuned in to.
No more.
I used to have FOX on every day. Now… gone.
The second part of his opening does bring up the Left and their bad behavior, but I was shocked at Carlson’s portraying POTUS essentially as a carny barker, a car salesman, a blowhart, etc. Tucker, and his smug little lack of self-awareness isn’t any “friend” of this President or us!

busy weekend for the religion of peace – is this a special holiday for them or is this in “honor” of our Christmas or some other reasons for so many activated at once?
More people off work. Gives more eyes for news items. Creating fear.
It’s not a holiday over here, so just another “normal” working day. One BIG thing, however, is many demonstrations for “Fridays for the Failure, erm, Future” are going on. Some folks were worried that Aunty Fa might show up, but since “she” and the Watermelons (Green on the outside, RED on the inside) are on the same side, there’s no cause for Antifa to act up…
Sunday’s first Advent, so maybe the tablecloth-snatchers have a problem with that. Even though they’re getting their own “Sharia Swim Center” (no westerners allowed)…
FWIW, not impressed with “explosive device” found in Paris. Nor do I know the “explosive device” country of origin. I do see the blue paint on it. Blue paint on US ordnance, indicates practice ammunition. Sometimes the blue is a strip a few inches wide. Sometimes most or all of the item is painted blue.
The US uses something that looks similar. Again, the Paris “explosive device” is NOT of US military origin. An example is MK 76 or MK 33 BDU (bomb dummy unit). When the US uses a MK 76, a small smoke device is screwed into the nose. An aircraft drops the MK76, as if it were dropping a gravity bomb (not laser guided bomb…). On impact a poof of smoke marks where the bomb hit. Used in training.
*https://www.delfasco.com/practice-bomb.html
So, while not definitive, I suspect the Paris item is no big deal from an “explosives” perspective. I am NOT EOD, but have worked with Naval ordnance of all types for ~30 years.
Will search out other reports on the Paris incident to see if I have missed something significant.
^^^ IMO.
“Hard to Think of Bigger Disappointment Than Obama” – AMAZING – Liberal Writer Dunks On Obama After His Attacks on Bernie Sanders

Pineal gland determines when you are at rest (no light/radiation) in order to release the chemistry used by your body during your sleep to fight cancer and repair the body.
In case you weren’t aware of the sources of these pineal toxins, common ones:
aluminum: anti-perspirant, geo-engineering sprays (gets into waterways)
glyphosate (round-up): herbicide, sprayed on harvested wheat as a drying agent (found in wheat products)
fluoride: toothpaste, tea (amount varies with type), municipal water sources
wifi: home routers, ISP installed hotspots, cell phones, baby monitors, security cameras, some toothbrushes
Has anyone done a deep dive on the difference between natural fluoride (i.e. tea) and industrial fluoride? Is there one?
Paging Gail….
Fluoride in toothpaste has always been termed “industrial waste” (or byproduct), though there are some cases where (Sodium) fluoride is helpful (Otosclerosis – middle ear bone problems).
As it happens, everywhere I’m looking, it’s CALCIUM fluoride that is natural and not harmful. SODIUM fluoride and one other base from the first column on the periodic table are what you have to look out for.
It makes sense when you think about it since fluorine is in pretty acidic territory.
I have not looked.
However remember fluoride is an element and just like its close relative chloride (Cl) it can take many many forms. We put NaCl (table salt) on our food but HCL gas will kill you (burn your lungs) and conc. HCL (aq.) will burn the heck out of your skin. And yet our body uses HCl to help digest our food and kill of microbes that we ingest.
Fun Fact. Humans need a wee bit of arsenic…
Please Pass The Arsenic… And the Boron shaker while you are at it…
Also remember the Dave Janda interview a few days ago where the doctor he interviewed said there were 60 minerals we need in our diet and that we do not get. — https://www.operationfreedomhealth.com/#/
(I really really wish they had the listing)
(I will go checking the tea thing out since I drink a LOT of tea. I will report back later.)
Redmond Sea Salt out of Utah supplies many of those minerals. It is also much more pure than regular sea salt, which, if it comes from today’s ocean, has many contaminants. It’s also cool that it’s an American company. Himalayan salt is good, but you know, China.
Here is partial answer on fluoride:
https://althealthworks.com/2366/what-is-the-difference-between-natural-fluoride-and-the-artificial-kind-in-our-water-supply/
What is the Difference Between Natural Fluoride and the Kind That is Artificially Added to Our Water Supply?
Specifically, most people still do not know the difference between the naturally occurring calcium fluoride and other industrialized forms that are added to water supplies in North America (but not throughout most of Europe, and many other high-tech countries).
That’s because the term “fluoride” is often thrown around without making a distinction between these substances.
There are three types of fluoride used to “fluoridate” water supplies: Fluorosilicic acid, sodium fluorosilicate and sodium fluoride.
Fluorosilicic acid is the type most often used for cost reasons, and it is derived from phosphate fertilizers according to the CDC’s website.
The other two are created by adding either table salt or caustic soda to the mix.
Fluoride Corrodes Town’s Pipes
These types of fluoride can be quite corrosive, as one town found out the hard way when the fluoride they used to add to their water supply began corroding pipes and damaging city vehicles. Officials from the town, Buffalo, Missouri, voted to stop fluoridating the water supply recently due to these issues.
In contrast with these types of fluoride is calcium fluoride, which is a much safer version of fluoride.
Calcium fluoride is considered the “least toxic” and in some cases “relatively harmless” according to the site fluoridedetective.com, and that’s because of its high insolubility.
Magnesium and especially calcium are known as minerals that counteract the effects of fluoride, an example of how nature often pairs antidotes with poisons or designs complete foods that mitigate harmful substances for the most part.
Good digging. Fake Science tricked my mind into confusing toxic industrial waste product with naturally forming versions.
REDUCTIONISM KILLS!
On the subject of fluoride and tea.
As usual the answer is it depends….
The fluoride is from the drinking water (large amount if fluorinated) and from the soil.
Risk Assessment of Fluoride Intake from Tea in the Republic of Ireland [RoI] and its Implications for Public Health and Water Fluoridation — This is a lengthy article with a lot of info. (Black tea only)
This study looks at different types of teas and herbal infusions:
Assessment of fluoride concentration and daily intake by human from tea and herbal infusions.
On the right side are listed several other related studies in both links.
If you are a tea drinker it is best to switch to white tea (or green if you can not get white) White has the highest level of anti-oxidants anyway.
https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/white-tea-benefits
DARN!!! I really like my black Cuppa in the morning.
I’m a tea drinker as well. STL water actually is lower than the national average in fluoride. It looks like I may have to use spring water to brew. The big issue there is cleaning the tea kettle. The mineral deposits from heating spring water are worse than tap here, that’s for sure.
That’s a good motivation to shop for a glass tea kettle, especially if you have a gas stove. Almost like being back in chemistry classes again. Glass is easy to clean and you can see when it needs a vinegar soak.
I read recently that one simple way to help your body eliminate aluminum is high-silica water.
The cheapest and easiest to get is Fiji Water, which I know is connected to the Bronfmans. But somebody is gonna drink it, and I wanna live. And I don’t want Alzheimer’s.
There are more expensive alternatives you can order online.
I drink Geroldsteiner and it has good mineral contend. I buy cases at Trader Joe’s
You should check it for silica content. This is a good article from a doctor who is researching it:
https://www.hippocraticpost.com/nursing/why-everyone-should-drink-silicon-rich-mineral-water/
Gerolsteiner is rich in silicon.
Good to know!

They also have (or at least used to have) Warsteiner…
Beer 🙂
We used to buy both when we were over in Kalifornistan in the late 90s… I miss Trader Joes and their “Fearless Flyer”. Also their mexican quiche, salads, and IIRC Fogcutter coffee beans… A lot of stuff there is from here (Germany) so we still buy it. Sometimes they have things at ALDI here that are labelled Trader Joes! And Gerolsteiner is great…
They still don’t wear Hawaiian shirts at ALDI, though 😉
We have an Aldi in our small town but it is a dump.
Columbus OH has two Trader Joe’s and I also found a nice one in Cincinnati.
They sell Gerolsteiner per case why i like. Whole Foods has it sometimes.
I stay away from most German sweets for Christmas. My husband has diabetic 2 and I am careful not to bring things in the house that is not good for him since he keeps his diabetic in check with diet.

Ironically, a soon-to-be-paroled murderer was out on a day release (walkabout, basically), and tried to save the woman from being killed. Comments on that are wild; perhaps he was trying to make up for what he did many years ago…

Wolf Moon’s Trade Deal would have a special 5% for 5 years tariff boost to pay for investigation and countermeasures of any trade violation which threatened American security. That whole category (printed materials) would get the 5% boost. We would not accept a similar measure on the Chinese side because they are now CULTURALLY BORN LIARS and would self-hoax on it. NOPE. THEIR CRIMES deserve THEIR PUNISHMENT.
All nations are not equal. Chinese liars must pay the price of their sins. HERE and NOW.

Plague is another problem. Right now, the victims are eating wild rabbits, the fleas being the carriers. And you know what, once I got to thinking about it, we never had flea issues in this part of the city until the rabbits moved in. Now, we have to have the dogs on flea and tick preventative year round. Our lab was the first one we had to have fleas. These two…this last infestation exascerbated a skin issue in one, and she’s still not done with anti-biotics.
I may just have to think about trapping the rabbits. Will need to check local regulations…

Any thoughts you might have would be most appreciated and would help all of us understand the background.
Thank you, Sir!
You’re welcome!
I haven’t had time to read further than Nov. 30’s Q Tree posts yet, but will tune in now.
Sorry, there’s so much to read and so little time!
To answer your question, however, journalists say that Boris will be avoiding private meetings with PDJT in No. 10.
First, such a meeting, if it took place, would only fuel Labour’s rumours that Boris was planning on selling the NHS to the United States.
Second, almost no one — and I mean no one — in the public eye here likes PDJT. We don’t know about the Queen (hence ‘almost’).
The electoral polls are already tightening, as they did in 2017. Boris has to distance himself from PDJT.
If he distances himself from PDJT, he has to do the same with the other NATO leaders WRT private meetings at No. 10.
Boris has the perfect excuse, though: elections on December 12.
Have posted this on your admirable post — beautifully done!
It had a weekend news cycle.
Now everything is back to the election.
Something the Twitter person above didn’t know or forgot.

read a thought provoking question…how much of a surprise was this? Did the usual suspects at the State Dept & WH know or did he bypass them all but a few? That would mean the usual prep that we heard so much about was not done by the deep state, etc.
Yes. It is possible for people who are not part of the Deep State to make logistical arrangements of all sorts.
For those who need a post Thanksgiving pick me up…..
(It NEVER gets old.)
It really, really, really never does get old! Love it. Can watch it again and again.
My favorite used to be the melt down of the Young Turks. However, since that night they channeled their frustrations and disappointment and immediately began accomplishments that they said they would do that night.
I have to tip my hat to the Young turks as they have accomplished much via hard work, unity and determination. We shared and wrote on that a while back – esp. daughnworks247.
However, I still enjoy all the rest and this specific mash up was new to me. Thanks.
I had thought the screamer in the yellow jacket and black hat was guy but just now hear “her”? voice and sounds like a female! weird.

This horrific story should be required reading for all of the leftard cheerleaders for the poor immigrant kids ripped from their parents….how many aren’t even their parents? How many are recycled? How many are abused because no one actually has blood ties?

Apropos of not much, I picked up a DVD of https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1522262/ — being as it’s an item on the subject that I didn’t already own. $3.95 at Rasputin’s.
