Come on in and find a comfy spot:
Free Speech is practiced here at the Q Tree. But please keep it civil.

Visual descriptions for our dear Zoe, and for anyone else who may find them helpful:
Header Image: A huge Tree sits in a clearing with large stones and boulders around it. There are stone steps leading up to a covered entrance in the trunk, with windows on either side. A small stream of water is cascading down some rocky steps to the side of the Tree. Little lanterns are strung from the branches…and from the branches of nearby trees.
Second Image: Is a cozy, warm-looking room with overstuffed couches and chairs, with throw pillows and an ottoman. There is a large Christmas tree, decorated with angels, ribbons and twinkle lights. There are green garlands with twinkle lights, strung along the log beams overhead.
Third Image: President Trump has a slight smile on his face as he is giving the side-eye to something out of our view. His hand is on a microphone and he looks like he is about to speak.

Sometimes I think we’re living in a cartoon…it’s duck season…it’s rabbit season…duck season…rabbit season…rabbit season…duck season…fire!…BAM!!! Daffy Democrats!
Epic old school Ted Cruz tells what’s in the spending bill…and what is not.
https://youtu.be/EZrgY5ogq6M
Did Cruz vote for it?
Does anybody know?
Still do not trust Cruz–Just something in my gut and the way Cruz ran his campaign during the primary
Yep…that’s why I want to know if he voted for it.
Pres Trump desperately needed the funding for the Military, the Wall and for the Space Force.
So he was over a barrel here, on this spending bill.
Cruz knows this.
And now…it’s like he’s trying to win brownie points at Pres Trump’s expense.
Remember Cruz was with Beck giving gifts to the Train kids who had illegally crossed the border… Nothing like encouraging illegals to come to America.

Thanks, Duchess!
So…he voted for it.
😕😏
Yuppers!!! Most welcome, Wheatie!!!
The least I can do for one who does so much for us!!!
So damned if he did and damned if he didn’t……just say’n, not trying to pick a fight Weatie, your one of my favs here which says alot 😉 ….and I realize I’m in the minority as far as Cruz is concerned.
I think he just voiced concerns (spending, pork, ect..) that needed to be said understanding given the current congress that it was the best we could do so he voted yes.
The other issue I have with Cruz was his BC. Heck if Trump didn’t make it in Iowa, I was rooting for Cruz until I found out about his Canadian birth. From then on I was totally behind Trump (do believe that i found out with 3 or 4 weeks after the campaigning began) I was worried that if Cruz managed to snag the primary that we would be stuck with Hillary due to his BC issue. I was shocked that Beck was behind Cruz so much, since Beck was a birther too.
In 2008 Cruz was behind the Tea Party and the birther movement stating that if Obama was born outside of US & not born in Hawaii/America he was not eligible. Well Cruz openly admitted he was not born in America. Turned out his father was a Cuban who gained Canadian citizenship and had just recently became an American. Not sure if his mother became a Canadian or not, for lots of that paper work just seemed to be unavailable.
just my two cents…Already was rammed enough on this issue by Cruz supporters at other conservative sites including the Treehouse, so I don’t need more.
Cruz often chooses the right words that we want to hear…but his body language and facial expressions tell me he is acting.
Trying to give him the benefit of the doubt: Maybe he is trying too hard to have a specific persona instead of being himself…so he comes across as a phony. Cruz was much more natural in his early days.
This is the first I’ve heard of this, but it’s great news if true.

OMG – this is BRILLIANT!!! He’s DEFUNDING GLOBALISM!!!
Some “CONservatives” are pissed about the spending bill…but fail to recognize the BIG picture. All in due time.
President Trump is like,”LOOK SQUIRREL! While continuing to work extremely effectively behind the Curtain of Chaos dismantling the Global Corporations/Deep States piece by piece.
That’s right!
Fix the *@#& budget happens in 2021 with a Republican Confessional Supermajority
Right behind LOBBYING REFORM – the “Kick the *@#& Lobbyists out of Washington Act”
It’s going to be Biblical 🙂
Absotutalutely, Wolf – in more ways than one – collecting debts (NATO) – renegotiating trade deals – you name it – where he finds Fraud, Waste, and Abuse – he will cut it out – HE IS BRILLIANT!!!
I suspect the Agency Budgets have been slashed (thanks to “Mick My Man’) – and useless employees have been let go – in one way or another – after all – labor is the largest expense item on the Balance Sheet.
Not to mention how much he is collecting from China – that continues to balk at making a deal.
China just RUNS from a fair deal – looking for every global hegemonist cheat they can find. Great metric – if China accepts it, they FOUND A CHEAT.
Unfortunately, true – keep playing games China – PT will make sure you regret it!!!
That is fabulous news!
Works for me. I’m dying to see the UN people fundraise for their little projects. Major gifts from the U.S. government just should not be.
This is a January 2917 article???
2017, that is.
Yep…article is nearly 3 yrs old.
Not sure why it’s being tweeted out Now.
FAKE CHRISTIANITY dealt another SEVERE blow today as “Christianity Today” exposes themselves as a 100% leftist anti-Trump publishing rag…
Order up, one Great Awakening…
They got totally eviscerated on Twitter.
Damn and I can’t join in the fun…Probably would have got me suspended anyway–Oh wait I am already suspended LOL
God Bless the Grahams.
They need to change their name to Christianity Toady. Don’t ask WHOSE Toady! 👿
Whose toady??
LOL
Franklin Graham is not standing with this magazine at all and it can be found in my places.
Do believe that Franklin is not happy with the magazine, or the left. Probably would be safe to say Franklin Graham is PISSED at the magazine.

Did anyone know that Clinesmith left his government job today? That boy is in deep doo-doo!
https://twitter.com/RoscoeBDavis1/status/1208237605441196032?s=20
“Retired”??
No.
He resigned in disgrace before he was fired for cause.
THIS!!!
Steven Miller was on Trish Regan’s show last night.
Democrats believe in the law whenever the law(s) support what they want, otherwise they just ignore the laws and do whatever they want.
So true and so sad….As Franklin Graham said when talking about Trump, Trump is not without sin but none of us are. However it seems that too many on the life point fingers at Trump as if they are the perfect ones,
Fact: We never thought Trump was perfect!
Fact We voted for him because he called out corruption of Clintion, Bushes and Obama.
Fact: We recognize that the damage done by these three families to us for the past 30 years that has almost crippled us.
Fact: Trump is Still President
Fact: Trump 2020

Yaayyy Stephen Miller !!!!!!!!!!!
Brilliant man… wonderful POTUS supporter…
Dontcha just love him, PR? I do! He makes me smile!!!
His tongue is mightier than a sword !!!!
Makes me smile too Duchess…
He has defined the Democrats as they are – not what they appear to be – and i love it!!!
😉
Trish’s interview with Bannon, AND her interview with Stephen Miller with BOTH fantastic.
Cannot find the whole interviews on youtube, anywhere.
Looking for them.
Wanted to do a post on them.
Went to Trish’s twit feed and asked her about where to locate the whole piece.
Yet, I’m a small voice in the wind, doubt she would ever see my message.
If anyone knows or can find them, please let me know.
Hey wheatie that cat with the lighted tail oh my word ROFL—
As I said yesterday, I was going to share with all of you some of my homemade “Spirit of Christmas” CD. I shared one on daugh’s thread that has such a lovely christmas story. (Thank you again daugh)
One is a video that I made, for I could not find a video of it on youtude… Hope you enjoy my selections for tonight/today
May all the Q Tree Climbers have a very blessed Saturday
Thank you, K…these are wonderful!
😊🥰🤗
Hugs…and Merry Christmas!
Clinesmith is getting audited by Collyer, which is as it should be. But here’s the sweet part.
Clinesmith helped get FISC warrants that have a two-hops component. Collyer is going to do the same thing back at them. You don’t think he worked any of these cases alone, do you?
Evey attorney that worked with him is going to be equally scrutinized, and each of THEIR cases are going to be audited. And each attorney that worked on a case with them (other than Clinesmith) will get the same treatment.
Eventually, every FISC case will be audited and the DOJ NSD records will be copied into the FISC court file. Where they will be capable of getting “judicially noticed” by any other judge in any other fed case without having to prove authenticity.
Lots of work that Durham won’t have to do.
I hope it’s work that is ‘clean’, though…and not done to cover up or sanitize anything.
Lots of sunlight is needed to clean up this mess.
Remember Collier just got replaced. Supreme Court Justice Roberts picked
Very Corrupt FISA Court Judge James E. Boasberg to replace Collier.
So that is who will now be over seeing the ‘Clean-up,’ an Obama appointee out of San Francisco.
Yeah, that’s bad…very bad.
😕😠
Roberts has screwed the pooch…again.
I hope Mark Taylor is correct and Roberts resigns in disgrace SOON!
Just throwing this out there…..not that I know anything about it or have any sort of extraordinary knowledge.
How would it look if Justice Roberts confessed everything on national TV — his beloved sons were knowingly adopted in violation of Irish law……and Irish authorities responded with, “they have found a loving home and we decline to prosecute in favor of God’s Law.”
How would that change the landscape?
Season of miracles, right?
That would set him free…that is, if the adoption is what he’s being blackmailed over.
We really don’t know for sure that the adoption thing is what someone is holding over him.
Seems to me that someone who wrote “The Art of the Deal” might find a way.
It would very much be a Christmas blessing if Roberts were to slip his leash.
Seems Word Unimpressed didn’t like my Boasberg comment again.
MORE INFO:
Roberts appointed Boasberg, an Obama appointee, to take Collier’s place.
BTW Boasberg ‘fed’ four of his law clerks to SCOTUS. Only Jed S. Rakoff (S.D.N.Y.) feeding 8 clerks, has fed more law clerks to the Supreme Court.
You can bet Trump’s people – will be WATCHING the entire FISA court and especially Judge Boasberg like a HAWK!!!!!!!
ONE WRONG MOVE….and they are out!!!

SNEAKY
SURRENDER-MONKEY
ACCOMMODATIONIST
BREAKING-BREAD-WITH-ANTISEMITES
ISRAEL-BASHING
antisemitism of the DEMOCRAT PARTY and the radical left in general.
It’s time to be completely blunt. Yes, there are “white nationalist” types – usually MINOR ones, who do vote for Trump over the left. There ARE antisemites who vote for Trump. What is also true is that the MORE they are for Trump, the less antisemitic they are. And they are also NOT COMMON. Go to a Trump Rally, for God’s sake. It’s very hard to find an antisemite. VERY hard.
But the truth is that the REAL white nationalist types – who are again rather rare – HATE Trump because he’s a FRIEND of Jews and Israel – as well as a FRIEND of blacks, Hispanics, Indians, American Indians, and any other group that LOVES AMERICA, regardless of their race or religion. Trump loves ANYBODY who loves America.
Real white nationalists have much more in common with FARRAKHAN and OMAR than they do with Trump or Stephen Miller.
And the real “white nationalists” have a lot more in common with DEMOCRATS in terms of their attitude toward Israel.
So – no – any thought of firing Stephen Miller will be met with FURY and RIDICULE here. The only thing more LOONY than accusing Stephen Miller of being a “white nationalist” is the thought of firing him for ANY reason. The man is a BLESSING!
THANK G_D FOR STEPHEN MILLER!
Wait….wut?
Fire Miller??
WTF is spewing THAT idiotic nonsense??
Congressional Democrats!
AS IF!!! They’re NUTS.
That’s not all they are, either.
Yes!!
Stephen Miller is brilliant!
Did you know…
When he was born, Stephen Miller came into the world speaking in complete sentences.
By the time he was three…he was correcting his parents whenever they got something a little wrong.
As a teenager, the kids at school were afraid to make eye contact with Stephen…for fear that he would make them feel stupider, just by looking at them.
HA! And the only element he’s afraid of is ENKRYPTONITE, which ties his tongue! 😉
THANK G_D FOR STEPHEN MILLER!
And Thank AG Sessions for giving him to President Trump!
Gail,
Thank you for adding that about Sessions…
Too many forget that Stephen was once Sessions’ right hand man…
I am very much looking forward to the day President Trump clears AG Sessions name.
Me TOO !
It was an extraordinary interview.
Needs to be seen.
Apparently a Breitbart Editor went to CNN and told CNN that Stephen Miller “radicalized her” to white nationalism.
Kamala Harris and Omar are leading the charge, a letter signed by 25 Senators was sent to President, and they want him fired……….. reason is a lie, Miller is effective.
The left is relentless, they keep trying to pick off our people.
And they started with Mike Flynn….
These leftist nutbags and their Islamist allies are quite evil. And they would LOVE Kamala Harris in the White House. SHUDDERS.
Actually they started with Alex Jones and Bill O’Reily.
Perhaps some are beginning to understand why the media writ large is my target #1
The complicity of the media cannot go without consequences.
They must be punished….severely….and made an example of to put fear into any who would choose to follow in their footsteps.
The media is the hand maiden of the banksters who BOUGHT THEM in 1915 two years after the Federal Reserve was created.

Slanted much?
“Panda Productions”?
Munchy, crunchy, self-deluded “dragon whisperers”. They’re what’s for dinner. And they’re kosher, too! 😀
I think too many of us have noticed that all the mistakes made & evidence lost favors the left…Strange isn’t it.
No Bias or Spying on Trump, But 17 FBI Mistakes: Key Takeaways

Meaning of Numbers in the Bible
The Number 17
In the Bible the number 17 symbolizes “overcoming the enemy” and “complete victory.”
God overcame the sins of rebellious humans when he began to flood the earth through rain on the 17th of the second Hebrew month. Noah’s ark and its eight passengers rested on the mountains of Ararat on the 17th of the seventh month (right in the middle of God’s annual Holy period known as the Feast of Tabernacles).
Jesus Christ gained a complete victory over death and the grave when God resurrected him near sunset on Nisan 17 (Saturday, April 8, 30 A.D.).
In the book of 1Corinthians the thirteenth chapter, the seventeenth mention of the word ‘love’ comes when the apostle Paul states that it is the greatest gift of all (1Corinthians 13:13). God’s unending love (John 3:16) is truly victorious over all things. Those who stay faithful to God to the end of their lives will gain the victory over the grave when they are miraculously brought back to life (see 1Corinthians 15).

Two bible verses played in my head during 2016 and still do
First one I do believe the good Lord gave to me in 2005. It is my crutch when times get tough..Second one has a strange story involving Trump, 2016 and the months just prior to election day
Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
.
2 Chronicles 7:14 if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
Wheatie please release my posts from WP prison. Thank you.
I’ll go look!
Thank you! 😁👍
Found two in the Spam bin…no idea why they got sucked in there.
I didn’t realize they were the same until I had already released them.

Well, on the bright side, it’s not an iceberg in the middle of the Atlantic.
Heheh…oh yeah, and the damage was way above the water line.
I doubt there were any injuries, since it happened in slow motion.
Have read one injury. Carnival is lucky. Lots of expensive staterooms with balcony in that area.
But yea, fewer injuries since it was in slo-mo;-)
My sister came home from a cruise, and…uh…the people of the Eastern Caribbean have NOTHING good to say about Carnival. NOTHING. On one island, the people there want to require a dress code just for the Carnival passengers as apparently they don’t know short shorts are not acceptable there, and their manners are appalling.
And we’re like, well, alrighty then. Since we’re Norwegian and Holland America people, I don’t know that we’ll be switching cruise lines any time soon.
Uh, looks like I’ll not need to visit Eastern Caribbean. Guessing, but dunno for fact, US Virgin Islands, British Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico…are commonly hot and humid. Absolutely shorts weather, for bottom feeders like myself. Maybe even commoners.
Shorts are fine so long as they aren’t obscene. There’s a line that gets crossed.

I hate to put a damper on so many good feelings, but I am afraid we are going to lose everything if this madness isn’t stopped!
that’s what illegal immigration is ALL about…the dems care nothing about the “poor people” seeking a better life–they care about amassing and centralizing power–in themselves!
This is ridiculous.
Hee Hee Hee.
No one should compare Pelosi to a draft horse. The poor horse does not deserve that.
I think they’re only referring to the horse’s ass actually…
Doesn’t matter. It’s functional unlike Pelosi.
oh what’s the old line?
she’s not without purpose…she can always serve as a bad example…
My 10th grade English teacher, after giving me a poor grade on my sloppy paper, told me that I could always serve as a bad example. It pissed me off so much that I decided, I’ll show him. I ended up at the top of that class which featured grammar, spelling and punctuation as its primary focus.
Decades later I realized that he wasn’t insulting me but was prodding me. It worked.

Still got a cough and some chest congestion…but I’ve decided to try and wear it out!
feel better soon!!!!
Don’t wear it out to much. 😉 The bugs this year are hanging on and on. Fortunately, for me, anyway, the larynx was not involved with this last one. All high notes are accounted for.
Glad your voice is okay, DePat!
😊
I had back to back rehearsals Thursday, and other than dry air hitting the back of my throat, no problems.
That’s great news…especially since your voice is going to get a workout in the coming days.
And I got handed a third solo on Thursday night. Fortunately, it’s only one verse.
glad to hear–your voice is very important this time of year!!!!
probably not going to happen, but the sweet irony!
FTA
The Senate is being called on to charge Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) with “obstruction of Congress” after refusing to hand over the Democrats’ articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump. Speaker Pelosi is refusing to transmit the articles to the Senate for a trial after they were passed by the House of Representatives on Wednesday evening. In the words of the very articles she is withholding, Nancy Pelosi is guilty of “obstruction of Congress.”

In what came as a surprise to many members of the Catholic elite in Germany, Pope emeritus Benedict XVI has launched a foundation for Catholic journalism in his home country.
“I want the Catholic voice to be heard,” the retired Roman pontiff, who has resided in a Vatican monastery since his 2013 resignation, said of his decision.

Since the German bishops are the ones leading just about everyone else into perdition, how this develops will be interesting.
hmmmmm….
Wowzers….
Tucker calls out the FAKE CONSERVATIVE Think Tanks!!!
The Trump era has really exposed all these money grubbers.
reading the story about the transgender suing the Miss USA pageant because HE is not a biological female. the rules clearly state the contest is only open to natural born females. He wants the rules to be changed to suit him…well there are other rules too–you can’t have appeared nude in print or film either–rules are rules. find a pageant you QUALIFY for…not change this one’s rules to fit you.
can you imagine IF they allow one of these people in? they would then sue for discrimination if they didn’t win…it never ends…
not linking the nonsense story.

Just a reminder, today is the Winter Solstice. The shortest day of the year and tomorrows marks the day we begin the long cold march towards Spring. Think positive!
Thanks for the reminder, TIM!
At least from here on…we get a few more minutes of sunlight each day.
😀
Has anyone done a study on a baby boom nine months after the Solstice?
Just…… saying.
Wheatie !!!
What a beautiful treehouse you have found… esp. love the huge stones… and the inside is all decorated for Christmas… just beautiful, and so cozy.
Really happy to hear you are feeling better. Take care, and hope by Christmas you are back to feeling like yourself.
Merry Christmas to you and yours.

so glad he posted it like that…
is it me or have you all noticed that it doesn’t really pay to post some articles since many can’t read them unless they are a subscriber . Most are not cheap
HIGHLY recommend this video by Papa. We here are familiar with the details, but Papa presents it very effectively from a first hand perspective:
Y’all payin’ attention ? Think POTUS doesn’t know this? Think Rudy didn’t get evidence on this while abroad? Nanzi’s list of crimes is longer than Staten Island. Impeach POTUS? HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
So glad our newest Republican Congress critter, shouted out in the Oval Office that he was told he HAD to vote for impeachment or… there would be NO SUPPORT locally, statewide or nationwide for his reelection. He chose instead to switch parties, from Democrat to Republican. Now you know how Nanzi got the votes for Articles of Impeachment… without that baseball bat to the knees, she would NEVER have gotten the votes. So whose trial are we going to see in the Senate coming January 2020…?
YES! POTUS Went there… !!! And, he’s being followed with affirmation
“Senate will end this charade!”
POTUS is telegraphing it to us…
“He who has ears, let him hear.” Matt 11:15
“there would be NO SUPPORT locally, statewide or nationwide for his reelection” . . . extortion . . . Nah! . . . just politics as usual!
Yeah buddy, there’s your quid pro quo.
Perhaps… Normies don’t know that…
BOOM..
More brilliant commentary from Ted Noel:
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2019/12/impeachment_tactics_vs_strategy.html
I like it…except for this part about ‘witnesses’:
“Here is my modest proposal for Senators McConnell and Graham. Since the House thought they had a compelling case with the handful of witnesses they called, no further witnesses will be allowed. The managers will be allowed to “prove their case” with those same witnesses, plus the “whistleblower.” Thus, there will be a real trial. The managers won’t be able to hold up a 600-page report and declare their case proved. They’ll get to do it in open court. With a twist.”
_________
The R’s should be able to call their own witnesses!
If the Dems want this…theatre…then let’s bring in some more players.
Like:
Hunter Biden
Joe Biden
Nancy Pelosi’s son
Rudy Giuliani would be a great witness too!
😁
Constitution says NOTHING about witnesses… all we have is precedent…
Constitution says NOTHING about ‘managers’ either, again, all we have is precedent… and Senate can create their own precedent.
We need only for POTUS to testify.
I do not want POTUS to testify, they’ll twist every word he says and ask all sorts of unrelated questions, too “trappy”. Besides He doesn’t need to, we have the transcript. Dems get no new witnesses, they’ve presented their case. But POTUS does finally get to produce his own defense witnesses corroborating and bolstering his actions, while destroying Dems case. Most Dem witnesses will be disqualified due to hearsay, in a normal and fair Senate trial.
Yes exactly, Butterfly!
the whistleblower never testified…I wouldn’t allow it to testify now…especially because second and third hand evidence is not allowed…
Now this is a witness I WOULD call. His testimony will prove he’s not a fact witness and just repeated gossip to start off the complaint. Also make him reveal who he conspired with, Schiff, Vindman, IG, others, and the entire hoax will get exposed.
Whats the deal with the ability to grant amnesty in there that BB wrote about?

———— Inhofe’s Statement:
“The United States is in the most threatened position I’ve experienced in my lifetime, and it’s vital we have the policy and resources in place to meet the needs of a nation increasingly at risk. After President Obama degraded and underfunded our military for years, President Trump and I promised to rebuild and restore our military. With the enactment of this legislation, we are one step closer to fulfilling this promise. Not only does this legislation help revitalize and replenish key equipment and systems, but it also accelerates development of critical technologies and delivers on President Trump’s Space Force. The NDAA will build a stronger, safer America and keep us ahead of our strategic competitors: China and Russia.”
“President Trump has been a tireless champion of our Armed Forces, and I thank him for his leadership and for signing this important legislation quickly.”
Wheatie, the interior of the log house looks so inviting…but then I took a second look and realized how rather boring it would be without the greenery. Nature does have a way of enhancing our daily lives, doesn’t it?
I have several Jewish friends that somehow think it’s against their faith to “decorate” their homes at this time of year (my closest Jewish friend just said this to me last week…”you know we don’t decorate at this time of year”…I always say (obviously to close friends like her) …show me where it’s forbidden to have a simple, unadorned boxwood wreath on your door or a some greenery in a vase on your table. I had given her a unique vase arrangement and remarked how pretty little sprigs of greenery would look in it. It’s a winter decoration…not a Christian one.
But, that brings up another entire conversation about religious guilt, real or perceived.
Do your Jewish friends put their Menorah in the window or their Shabbat candles on Friday evening? It’s my understanding that they are supposed to be seen.
I have one which I put in the window.
Yes, I am Presbyterian, but the Menorah was given to me by Auschwitz survivors, parents of a guy I dated.
And yes, I’m probably the only one who has a Menorah within 30 mile radius, but it seems like the right thing to do. Sits in the front window. I have to explain it to the kids (and sometimes adults).
Several people in the neighborhood have electric ones that you just tighten the bulb.

But at least there were quite a few that knew what was going on!

By my count, only two of those interviewed were “real’ New Yorkers.
I’m surprised that those two actually gave good responses.
I was rather shocked to hear the most idiotic response spoken with a twang, that’s for sure.
Yeah… They are likely “visitors” (tourists).
Some of the others are what we call “transplants” (live and work here now).
This is pretty cool.

Those are amazing…and are fragrant too.
I have thought about trying my luck with growing those, since I’ve had some relatively good luck with growing other orchids.
But I don’t have a greenhouse and I think those need far more humidity than I can provide.
60 years ago, Walt Disney had some great shows on featuring time-lapse photography of flowers and other subjects.
These grow outdoors in Silicon Valley. We used to have about 15. All sold or given away in preparation for moving. Can’t grow where it snows without a greenhouse.
I was floored when I worked at the local municipal pool and had to explain to others who worked there “stars up”, and then demonstrated with someone else how to fold a flag.

The guy who wrote that screed about the President was already on the way out…and he did it to get publicity for his book tour.
———- From the article:
“Christianity Today Editor-in-Chief Who Called for Trump’s Removal Is Now Looking for a New Job.
It looks like the plan was for Christianity Today’s editor to take on Donald Trump and then slide out the back door when the you know what hit the proverbial fan.
Or for editor-in-chief Mark Galli to burn down the city on his way out of the gates.
A very biblical ending.
After 30 years at Christianity Today — culminating in picking a fight with the President of the United States and angering Evangelicals in the process — the editor is now leaving the publication.
Christianity Today officials confirmed Galli will not be employed by publication after the holidays.
Friends of Galli said he is writing a book. Galli has come under fire for calling for Trump’s removal from office and then going on the television news circuit to trumpet his disdain for Trump.
What a surprise. Just in time for a book tour.”
And we know how well trashing POTUS and resulting book sales go.
But he did severe damage to Christianity… what’s up with that…? will there be an op-ed in the magazine?

The view is stunning. Nothing but rocky mountain ridges for as far as the eye can see.
It seems like a game to me!
I have read several articles on this issue and it seems that many people agree that if Nancy does not send the papers on she could end up making everything that congress did null and void. Anyone know otherwise.
DREAM ON, Dems: Trump still hasn’t been impeached… not until Pelosi turns over the articles of impeachment to the U.S. Senate
Democrats thought they impeached President Trump. And then Nancy Pelosi, barely managing to keep her false teeth lodged inside her skull, decided she would just hold on to those articles of impeachment and refuse to submit them to the Senate for trial.
In doing this, it turns out that Nancy Pelosi just nullified the entire impeachment process so far. There has been no “impeachment” whatsoever, since the very definition requires the House to turn over the articles of impeachment to the Senate. Until that transfer takes place, no impeachment has happened.
https://yournews.com/2019/12/20/1370495/dream-on-dems-trump-still-hasnt-been-impeached-not-until/?fbclid=IwAR2nNRQqmO3wRdxna9rGUGpFLO1x4vobplbuusmcYBNUkYuH0OzfOqN3gYg
I don’t know otherwise, but I know how to read.
From our Constitution – relevant portions:
“The House of Representatives shall choose their Speaker and other Officers; and shall have the sole Power of Impeachment.”
“The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments.”
“The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.”
Anything other than that is a House or Senate procedure. I’ve seen nothing specifically referenced or quoted that requires the House to send the result of their impeachment vote to the Senate in order for it to be considered “real”.
We do have due process laws that serve to prevent undue delay, but we’re nowhere near that time period yet.
What we’re hearing or reading are opinions without reference to actual codified law or written procedures to back them up.
In my opinion, PTrump has been impeached. That is, he has been charged by the house.
In my opinion, the magnitude of those charges may be challenged with the Supreme court, or the Senate may decide to move immediately forward with a trial, or just wait.
I don’t see anything that stops any of those options.
What I do find interesting is that so many of the liberal/democratic supporters think Trump is no longer president.
For some reason many of them think this has nullified Trump as president.
There are even some that think that this nullified the election and Hillary is president (oh yea that is actually a much smaller number of people. )
However this does not speak well for liberal supporters.
I read a statement from one woman who demanded the the Trumps move out of the WH before Xmas since he was impeached.
I have seen several dozen similar statements.
I think there is enough ambiguity on the details to warrant a clarification from SCOTUS if Pelosi tries to delay sending the articles to the Senate simply because of the reason you stated–due process.
I think, if the Senate wanted to, it could announce a reasonable time for the start of the Impeachment trial and, if the House didn’t show, they could dismiss, or even decide to let the defense go forward to show all the evidence of this Shampeachment.
I guess we’ll see.
^^^ This is my wish, given the varying opinions and what we know. Or think we know.
Say, first week January, McConnell send House, Nanzi a letter inforing them that the Senate will move forward, say two weeks later, 9AM January 20. Whether the House and Nanzi deliver, it is their option. Senate can take whatever action they deem appropriate.
House prerogative to forward impeachment charges.
Senate prerogative to move forward.
The impeachment hoax needs to be processed, inspite of Nanzi and Dumrat obstruction and abuse of power.
^^^ IMO.
Wanna bet PDJT and Barr have a solid case of bribery, and other high crimes against Speaker Pelosi and others….such as Hillrotten and Øbominable, Clapper and Brennan?!
That’s how I read it as well. Once the House voted for the articles of impeachment it is in the Senates court now. The House and Senate can set their own rules for their respective chambers, but it has no influence outside of their respective chambers.
“The House of Representatives shall choose their Speaker and other Officers; and shall have the sole Power of Impeachment….
The Senate shall have the sole power to try all impeachments. When sitting for that purpose, they shall be on oath or affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside: And no person shall be convicted without the concurrence of two thirds of the members present.”
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
There is nothing that states the House has any RIGHTS once they vote to impeach. The Senate should do as Pelosi has done. Give the House a solid date in mid January and If they do not have their act together, vote to dismiss.
Maybe, because it is, Dora – until I fully understood the game – I did not realize how much they play with our money and our lives – PT is playing for keeps – a businessman who looks at the bottom line.
For politicians – the bottom line – is how much goes into their coffers – they could care less about us!!!

here is where the tweet is (seems I can seem copy them-maybe this is a test)
Interesting — I can still read and copy posts over there….just not respond, like or dm any one..
Makes sense to me – I wonder if the SC could determine the charges are NOT impeachable offenses – and if the House would be compelled to provide evidence – however – I do hope and pray this is what PT and his Legal Team decide to do.
McCarthy said the other day there’s nothing for SC to do. Constitution says House draws up Articles, Senate holds trial. Nothing in the middle to be litigated at SC. House managers, transmission to Senate not in Constitution either, those are historical precedents/rules adopted and previously agreed to. So, that stated, I think Senate can start trial without transmission? Screw Nancy’s demands, she’s done.
If they do not send Articles And Senate doesn’t start trial, I wonder if POTUS can sue. It’s Like an accusation, without an indictment or a trial, i.e., slander.
Did not understand these ‘House Managers’ either – but, agree Nancy Fancy Pants cannot dictate what the Senate does or does not do – however – if she does not send the Articles – technically, PT is NOT impeached (charged) with anything – so am not sure the Senate must act – heard they can convene to ‘dismiss’ – with a majority vote – is that true?
Levine suggested dismissal, I think Mitch said they MUST take up. NoOne seems to know.
Mitch said – they could take ‘Opening Statements’ – a motion to dismiss and a ‘vote’ to dismiss by a majority vote – could be to what Levin was referring – dunno.
Mitch has already rejected Schmucky’s suggestions – trying to change the rules – for the benefit of the House.
Agree – this is all very confusing – however – if Pelosi refuses to deliver the Articles – the Senate CAN move without them.
Then again – if the Articles are ‘charges’ – how can the Senate move without ‘charges’? It makes no sense.
May it please the board…
On this day, Saturday the 21st of December, 2019, I submit to the Q tree that the 1970 Albert Finney film version of Charles Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol”, enititled “Scrooge”, is THE definitive and best version of this timeless Christmas classic.
I further submit that Albert Finney’s portrayal of Ebeneezer Scrooge is an absolute master performance, considering he was just 33 years old at the time.
And, for the record, I have seen each and all the other versions of this Dickens’ masterwork, and will not watch them again, under the logic that one doesn’t eat flank steak when tenderloin is available for the same price.

I respectfully disagree…the greatest portrayal of Scrooge was by Alastair Sim in 1951.
I totally agree with you, pat!

Remember what happened the last time democrats in Congress voted for something YUGE by strict party-line vote. That was on Christmas Eve, 2009…just under 10 years ago today….and it was called Obunglecare.
In the wake of that vote We, the People, took the House away from them at the very next opportunity in Nov. 2010….and it marked the beginning of the end for the Obutthole administration….which culminated with the “impossible”, “will never happen”, “won’t be”, “so improbable as to be laughable” election of President Donald J. Trump.
These people are stupid.
Q
https://twitter.com/Education4Libs/status/1208121553453539329
Gotta push & sell those preppers supplies somehow, right?
The logic behind this “article” is riddled with flaws…
….beginning with the fact that PDJT IS the duly and legally elected POTUS and, as CiC, controls the US military and tools like Federal Marshall Law…
…unlike the dims.
HINT: The VA governor can mobilize the VA National Guard, true. And the second he does it, the POTUS can “federalize” said state guard. Hey presto….they are under PDJT’s command, not the Governor’s.
Really???
Yes.
But I am speaking about National Guard forces VS. State Guards forces.
Unlike National Guard forces, State Guard forces (known as “State Defense Forces”) cannot be federalize.
The VA Defense Force has approx. 300 members who do not train on a monthly basis and do not engage in organized weapons training, unlike the VA National Guard.
In short, it would be something of a joke for the VA Gov. to try and spark a Civil War as most law enforcement departments as well as the VA National Guard would not respond to the Gov.’s orders to start confiscating guns in a blatant and illegal violation of 2nd Amendment rights of citizens.
You should look up and become familiar with the term “color of law”. It is established law….with precedents…that orders to violate anyone’s Constitutional rights UNDER THE COLOR OF LAW…which is what the VA progressives are threatening…..are illegal.
Well – that makes sense – the color of law – understand that quite well – I did not think law enforcement and/or the National Guard would comply with unconstitutional orders.
Never heard of the State Defense Force – what is their mandate/purpose?
This whole thing makes me cranky – but, you have made me feel so much better. Thanks, FG&C!
“You should look up and become familiar with the term “color of law”. It is established law….with precedents…that orders to violate anyone’s Constitutional rights UNDER THE COLOR OF LAW…which is what the VA progressives are threatening…..are illegal.”
That is what I have been saying…
This law needs to be sent to every single law enforcement critter in VA because if they DO SHOOT and kill they could face the death penalty. And no I am not kidding. AG Barr just re-established the death penalty. (This BTW is why the federal courts are so very important.)
DEPRIVATION OF RIGHTS UNDER COLOR OF LAW
Meanwhile it is a very good time to move your weapons OUT of VA and let the courts slap the crap out of the Commies.
Excellent summary, Gail – Thanks – will pass this along – God Bless You for sharing!!!
SantaGate: Microsoft Removes Santa Hat Icon After a Single User Complained It Was ‘Pushing Religion’
BY PAULA BOLYARD DECEMBER 21, 2019
https://pjmedia.com/trending/santagate-microsoft-removes-santa-hat-icon-after-a-single-user-complained-it-was-pushing-religion/
There was a huge dust-up in the IT community this week after Microsoft caved to a developer who complained about a festive Santa hat embedded in the code, saying the “religious” symbol was “offensive.”
The drama played out on GitHub, the leading open-source code repository, which hosts Microsoft’s open-source projects, including the popular developer tool VSCode.
Earlier this week, a user named Christian-Schiffer opened an “issue” on the platform complaining that someone at Microsoft had inserted an ” Easter egg” into the code, displaying a Santa hat to users. “Santa Hat on vscode insiders and pushing of religion is very offensive to me,” he wrote in the subject line.
“Additionally xmas has cost millions of Jews their lives over the centuries, yet even if that was not the case, pushing religious symbols as part of a product update is completely unacceptable,” he went on to say. “Please remove it immediately and make it your top priority. To me this is almost equally offensive as a swastika.”
Yeah, right. Exactly like a swastika. I mean, who doesn’t remember the jackbooted Santas storming the Warsaw Ghetto?
Let’s take a moment, shall we, to appreciate the irony, not to mention the cognitive dissonance and hubris, of a user with the name “Christian” complaining about a Santa hat as a “religious symbol.” (We’ll get back to him in a moment.)
Christian-Schiffer included a screenshot of the itty bitty Santa hat that had offended his fragile sensibilities.

Santa has absolutely nothing to do with religion.
No, he does not, DP – this is stupid!
Totally stupid.
However, I think their solution was totally appropriate for that ‘hurting snowflake’ – lol
Notre Dame Cathedral to miss first Christmas in centuries
by THOMAS ADAMSON The Associated Press | Today at 3:00 a.m.
https://www.hotsr.com/news/2019/dec/21/notre-dame-cathedral-to-miss-first-chri/
PARIS — Notre Dame kept Christmas going even during two world wars — a beacon of hope amid the bloodshed.
Yet an accidental fire in peacetime finally stopped the Paris cathedral from celebrating Midnight Mass this year, for the first time in over two centuries.
As the lights stay dim in the once-invincible 855-year-old landmark, officials are trying hard to focus on the immediate task of keeping burned out Notre Dame ‘s spirit alive in exile through service, song and prayer.
It has decamped its rector, famed statue, liturgy and Christmas celebrations to a new temporary home pending the restoration works, just under a mile away, at another Gothic church in Paris called Saint-Germain l’Auxerrois.
And there it will remain, as works slowly progress to rebuild the cathedral after the April 15 fire destroyed its lead roof and spire and was moments away from engulfing its two stone towers.
“This is the first time since the French Revolution that there will be no midnight Mass (at Notre Dame),” cathedral rector Patrick Chauvet told The Associated Press.
[Excerpt] Read more at the link above…
There was NOTHING ACCIDENTAL about that fire!
Agree – accidentally on purpose!
….or the HUNDREDS of other church fires across Europe since the barbarian hordes of pagans have been invading.

Interview with Robert David Steele. I would say take him with a grain of salt. He seems to think he *knows everything* and could do a much better job of running the country than those currently in power.
He asserts that Wikileaks will release everything on Feb. 15. We’ll see. He advocates for extreme remedies that none of us should name here.
I love the X22 Report, though.
Good catch! See Brian’s thread. Funny that Joe announced Prez run and Hunter resigned from Burisma at same time AFTER Zelensky won.

Okay, winter solstice tonight. About 92 days until the vernal equinox. Yes, I can hold on.
Ladies of the QTree, a number of us qualify. We really should celebrate.

National Short Girl Appreciation Day – December 21, 2019
National Short Girl Appreciation Day is celebrated on December 21. This is fitting, since December 21 is also the first day of winter (aka the shortest day of the year!). As such, this is the perfect time to show your appreciation for all the short women in your life. Anyone who is under 5’5″ is included in the “short” category. And, since the average American woman is between 5’3″ and 5’4″, that means there are plenty of short women to appreciate. You’d better get started!
….
National Short Girl Appreciation Day Activities
Extra special treatment
Celebrate the day by finding a short woman you know and treating her with extra kindness.
Offer to help them out
Offer to grab a grocery item from the very top shelf next time you go to the store. -DP COMMENT: YES, PLEASE!
Remind them of all the great things about being short
These include always having legroom on the plane, plus shopping in the petite AND regular clothing section.
Ha ha! I will let my wife know. She is 5’0″. I helped the vertically challenged ladies at Church earlier by getting a tray of salt and pepper shakers down from a high up shelf in the Church kitchen ;-)~. We were setting up for our family dinner after the children’s program tomorrow evening.
I have lost 2 inches and it is very frustrating. I now miss the bridle hooks in my trailer tack room by an inch. The stuff I put on the top kitchen shelves and could reach fifteen years ago, I now need a ladder to get to. And shopping?? ARGH! More than once I have had someone scold me for climbing up the racks to get to stuff. (I think they now have someone follow me and offer help to keep me from pulling the racks over. 🤣)
I either climb when possible, look for a tool to pull the bag of chips on top shelf forward, or wait for a tall person to walk down the aisle.🤓
short lady here!
Me too. 4’11”.
Almost ditto! I’ve lost 1/2″!
oh my… I’m not short! I’m 5′ 1″
Sigh…raising my (short) arm here.
I’ve noticed that there are more auto makers that have seats that adjust for short people. One year my hubby tried so hard to fit me into a Mercedes. Not no way, not no how, wasn’t ever going to happen. It’s important to be able to see over the hood, and to be able to reach all the pedals, especially the brake pedal with the ability to mash it all the way down if necessary.
WOW!, Yet I have no problem with my pick-up trucks. (I am now 5’4” and mostly leg — 31″ inseam on my jeans)
I too have lost an inch from my lifelong height of 5’4”. Where did it go Miss Gail??🤨
This is one of the reasons we drive Fords.
I am a ‘short woman’ and I would just be happy if someone would lug those *&^%$#@ fifty pound feed sacks into the grain storage area for me and dump them into the rat proof storage barrels!
Or at the very least if the parents would pick-up their 100 pound darling dumplings and put them on my larger ponies for me.
Obligatory…..
My mother was 5’3” and drove a “little yellow Cadillac”. She used a “nice” cushion to help her to see out. She was such a totally fun person. After she passed away, I asked my father if I could have the “church fan” that she kept in her car. It had a picture of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane on one side and “Vote for C.E Felker” for Mayor” on the other side.
Maybe some of you remember those fans, 😁
My grandmother’s fans like that all said “Kassley Funeral Home.” And, yes, they did her funeral.

Last year at their gathering, POTUS spoke a tad over 2 hours !!!
Wonder how long he will speak tonight?
Allegedly, it began @ 5:00 PM EST – it is now almost 6:30 PM EST – and they are CHEERING him LOUDLY!!!
I’ve been listening… he is soooo loved…
And he loves them!
And they LOVE him, too!!!

Mr. President for Eternity! YES!! 😂
A Trump Cat for sure!
ROTFLMAO
another one…
Scotch on the rocks…or Limoncello?????
Maybe Sambuca?
Warning!
Sambuca make you pukea😁
Some day, if we all ever meet, I’ll tell the story of the night in Rome we got the deacon’s wife drunk on LImoncello.
I’ll be sipping my grappa while you do 🤓
I’d love to hear about that. My wife loves Limoncello and one place we frequent has the best Lemondrops ever.
This disappears from YouBlock in 5…..4……3….
LOL!!!
Been out for a Christmas party and I get home to see this. 3 hours old but worth seeing again❤
AWESOME!!! I love that one! Truly inspirational!!! <3
“Democrats’ New Idea: Press Trump To Resign Ahead Of Senate Trial”
This is why Occam’s Razor, IMO, is bunk.
Boy, if you ever wondered if the Commies have no understanding of our President that idea, getting President Trump to resign to avoid a Senate Trial, certainly leaves no doubt.

Just stumbled upon this:
Fashion Notes: Melania Trump Bundles Up in Burberry, Red Crocodile Accents
https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2019/12/21/fashion-notes-melania-trump-bundles-up-in-burberry-red-crocodile-accents/
Stunning pictures!!!
Barron is going to be so tall!
At the rate he’s going, I think he could easily be 6’7″ by the time his dad leaves office in 2025.
2029!
It’s AMAZING. And Barron’s also getting “adult good looks”, too.
This pic just blew me away. Classic! Historic photo, right there. There is a message here, too. I know people can see it in their own words. Good things just grow around our VSG. ASK WHY.
He is, isn’t he…Barron has lost that ‘little boy’ look.
Kind of a shame, too.
He’s only 13 yrs old!
Most 13 yr old boys are still riding bikes and skateboarding, etc.
I hope Barron is still getting to do ‘boy stuff’.
I am sure Melania is making sure Barron is as happy as possible. They get down to Florida fairly often so he gets to enjoy the outdoors.
Trust me – doing “boy stuff” is a life-long risk in men! 😀
In every man there is a seven year old boy screaming to get let out.
>>>>>>>>>>>
Do you know how many pony rides I have done for ADULT WOMEN? And even guys. Last Christmas a family ‘gave’ a pony ride to their Dad. He walked up and down the street with that pony dressed as a reindeer with a big grin on his face giving all the neighborhood kids rides. Last week it was a Mother who had always wanted a UNICORN so we brought a pony big enough for her to ride too.
HA! Makes sense, too. Every woman, deep down, is a little girl who wants a horse for her birthday! I’m convinced! Convince me I’m wrong! 😉
If I EVER wanted to torture my feet wearing a pair of heels, it’d be these red crocodile spikes!!!!
Ooo la la, they’re gorgeous!!! I’m a Croc girl myself. Adore that bag!!! 🦋🦋🦋🤸♀️🤸♀️🦋🦋🦋
Birkenstocks for me … in red crocodile of course 🤓💖😂
New Balance walking shoes for me. I am on my third pair of identical shoes. I LOVE them! Water proof, dry fast and shed dirt. Even better all my knee pain disappeared. I have never had a shoe I liked more! (Thanks to the Treepers who steered me to New Balance)
Oh yeah, New Balance is great? That is fantastic that they reduced your knee pain. Stick with what works definitely 💖
I discovered some walking shoes and also a pair of hiking boots by GravityDefyer.com that fit me perfectly, and they are SO comfy. Can wear my fullsize orthotics without my toes being squished. Great heel cushion too!
I have very bad ankles so I need a wedge to straighten them. These shoes give my ankles the type of support I need that allows me to use a homemade wedge without spending the hundreds I don’t have on specially made shoes. On top of that they are light weight and breath.
When I was in mid 30s & early 40s all i wore were 3 inch stilettos, 5 in ones had not come out yet. That was back in the day when you dressed for any type of office work you might do .
Strangely I could work & go shopping in them all day The few times i put on tennis shoes for a day at the mall my feet hurt like hell. Now just looking at 3 inch stilettos much less 5 in ones, my feet start screaming “No way”
Kin – me too 😂🤓
The women’s comments on the article are a scream! The overall message: “Those shoes would kill me – I WANT THEM!”
They are pretty…. ON SOMEONE ELSE!
LOL! Well, FLOTUS is a PROFESSIONAL, so let her handle the dangerous tools!
Wolfie – three meanings:
Those are Killer shoes 💖💖💖
I’d Kill for those shoes
These shoes are killing me 🤣
LOL!!!
Look at Barron! He’s so TALL!!!
LOL! People just had to see this!
Thank you Butterfly… gorgeous Lady…
Here are a couple of more … one of them I’ve done twice so you can figure which rendition you like most

From that thread…
Well we know that impeachment is dead in water…
However if the later happens that would be worse than if they stole the election..
Ok hit return too quick == they are both so of talking songs..
If you have not seen this, it is hysterical. Especially the liberals reaction to Gutfield.
Does Matt read Q?
It wouldn’t surprise me!
Matt has said other things that have made me wonder.
😉😎
If 22% of Americans follow Q, I would speculate he would at least have a staffer following what Q and the Anons are saying.
It seems to me that those who post about corn, like Grassley and Nunes, almost have to be in league with Q.
Nunes for sure. Remember the Flynns follow Q and General Flynn’s protegee, Ret Col Derek Harvey is now on Nunes staff after getting fired by McMasters.

He has been consistent. He did an interview with Dan Bongino over a year ago.
Heheh.

I like Ted when he’s doing things like this…blasting the evil Dems:
Tom Fitton says this is Proof that Hussein was running SpyGate.
Catherine Herridge has been digging…and tweeting about it.

This is pretty cool:
Please be kind and understanding to those who are born on the day of the Winter Solstice.
It is not easy being born on this day, whatever day of the week it is.
They might not be as ‘sunny’ as you, for they experienced the darkest day of the year.
May God have mercy upon them and shed His divine grace accordingly.
Please understand that they might not be as ‘happy’ as the rest of everyone else.
