Dear KAG: 20241126 Open Thread

Hola! This is going to be a bit short and sweet. Yours truly has been fighting what she thought was fall leaf mold allergies, but is more likely a chest cold bug. Argh. Since college, when I had a nasty chest cold bug, these have been rough to shake. So, I was MIA a lot of the day. Please, supplement what I missed in the comments.

Senator Josh Hawley says the quiet part out loud, “Members of Congress are TRADING DAILY based on information that the public doesn’t have” ‌ “Congress is a rich man’s club. That’s the problem” ‌ “I would suspect that I probably have the fewest assets of anybody sitting on this dais. I am not a rich man, unlike those to my left. (Senator Rick Scott, net worth $327 million dollars) ‌ “Let’s be honest. Members of Congress get information that is technically not insider information as defined by the securities laws. That is nevertheless extremely beneficial to know, and often we get it earlier than other people.”

Another Congress Member Insider Trading for Matt Gaetz to investigate Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin’s Net Worth QUADRUPLED Between 2018-2022 From $12m -> $63m He bought shares of a water meter company just 2 weeks before Tulsa, Oklahoma announced replacing all water meters costing $94 million How did he know?! That’s not all, other congress members made the trade and the water meter replacements are being done nationwide “How is it possible that even though the congressional salary is a $174,000 a year, all these lawmakers are worth millions of dollars? That’s because they often make much more than that in the stock market. I’ll give you a perfect example, Senator Markwayne Mullin from Oklahoma. His net worth almost quadrupled between 2018 and 2022. January 4th, early this year, he bought shares of a company called Badger Meter Incorporated, ticker BMI. Now, Badger Meter, as their name suggests, makes water meters. The things that calculate how much water you use. So stick with me. Remember earlier when I said senator Mullen is from Oklahoma? The reason that’s important is because just 2 weeks after Mullin bought shares with the water meter company, I came across an announcement by the city of Tulsa, Oklahoma saying that it has begun the installation of 145,000 automated water meters across the city at a cost of $94,000,000. The exact same product which was made by Badger Meter, the company he bought stock in just 2 weeks earlier. And it’s not just Tulsa doing this, this is going on across the country. That’s because of the new federal mandate by the EPA for every US city to upgrade their inventory of lead service lines by October 24, 2024 later this year. It’s reasonable to assume that when Tulsa and all these other US cities upgrade millions of water meters to meet these new guidelines, a company like Badger Meter would stand to benefit, and in turn, those shares that he bought. I wish I could say that this was an isolated incident, but I see stuff like this happen all the time.”

Per the boss’s instruction:

I’d throw in a few Rockefellers and Rothschilds also.

Of course, this does not mean committing felonies, but standing up to the forces that want to tear this nation – and humanity apart. The very people XVII told us will be destroyed by the time this movie comes to an end are currently roaming the halls of power…supposedly. It’s a sickening sight.

Guidelines for posting and discussion on this site were outlined by our host, WolfM00n. Please, review them from time to time.

The discourse on this site is to be CIVIL – no name calling, baiting, or threatening others here is allowed. Those who are so inclined may visit Wolf’s other sanctuary, the U-Tree, to slog it out. There is also a “rescue” thread there for members of the Tree to rendezvous if the main site goes kablooey. A third site has been added for site outages of longer duration.

This site is a celebration of the natural rights endowed to humans by our Creator as well as those enshrined in the Bill of Rights adopted in the founding documents of the United States of America. Within the limits of law, how we exercise these rights is part of the freedom of our discussion.

Fellow tree dweller, the late Wheatie, gave us some good reminders on the basics of civility in political discourse:

  1. No food fights.
  2. No running with scissors.
  3. If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.

Revelation 14:14-19

14Then I looked, and lo, a white cloud, and seated on the cloud one like a son of man, with a golden crown on his head, and a sharp sickle in his hand. 15And another angel came out of the temple, calling with a loud voice to him who sat upon the cloud, “Put in your sickle, and reap, for the hour to reap has come, for the harvest of the earth is fully ripe.” 16So he who sat upon the cloud swung his sickle on the earth, and the earth was reaped. 17And another angel came out of the temple in heaven, and he too had a sharp sickle. 18Then another angel came out from the altar, the angel who has power over fire, and he called with a loud voice to him who had the sharp sickle, “Put in your sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth, for its grapes are ripe.” 19So the angel swung his sickle on the earth and gathered the vintage of the earth, and threw it into the great wine press of the wrath of God;

Matthew 16:24-27

24Then Jesus told his disciples, “If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 25For whoever would save his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. 26For what will it profit a man, if he gains the whole world and forfeits his life? Or what shall a man give in return for his life? 27For the Son of man is to come with his angels in the glory of his Father, and then he will repay every man for what he has done.

St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do thou, Prince of the Heavenly Hosts, by the power of God, cast down to Hell Satan and all his evil spirits, who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

Amen brother.

Countdown to Turkey Day – one and a wake-up.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

54 days, 11 hours, 48 minutes until our rightful, once and future president, is restored to his proper office.

Not, mind you, that I’m counting.

Thank you, De Pat, for this tenacious Tuesday thread.

Hope you feel better soon.

We definitely voted for a wrecking ball.

But instead, we got a bondi.

The wrecking ball is needed to save our national security, “democracy” and public health from the likes of you.

Blackpilling is Unwarranted
Pepe Lives Matter
Nov 23, 2024

“The people complaining and blackpilling about Trump’s picks are missing the forest from the trees. Have they forgotten that Vivek and Elon are about to decimate the federal government and Robert Kennedy is finally going to cleanse our health and pharma industry? These peripheral picks, while we should be alert and question everything our government does, are less impactful than the hell the major allies of Trump that will bring upon the establishment.”

_____________

The most important thing, above all else, was justice for the horrific evil that has destroyed our country and our people.

When Gaetz withdrew and was replaced with Pam Bondi, that was the end of any opportunity for justice.

Call me a misogynist, I don’t care. Call me a racist or a homophobe or a sexist or whatever. I don’t care. That’s not my generation, I’m not a hostage to feminism or the civil rights movement. I didn’t participate in it or live through it, so I don’t have any nostalgic warm fuzzies for it, I just got to live through the hell that manifested ever since, because of it.

And I don’t like it, at all. You wouldn’t either, if you were downstream to all the garbage that was flushed on my generation. I hate what it has done to our country. Whatever it was they were trying to fix, they made it a million times worse.

When you have to destroy an enemy, you better send a man to do it.

Even better, a man who the enemy tried to personally destroy. A man who will take the job personally and extract vengeance on the monsters who have abused the American people mercilessly. A man who will do to them exactly what they did to him and to us, without hesitation.

A man who will put the sick, rabid, soulless dogs down like the heinous monsters they are.

You also send a man to rip the DoJ out of the sick clutches of the feminized bureaucracy. You put MEN in charge of MEN. You don’t put a woman at the head of the DoJ if you intend to change the culture back to toxic masculinity.

You don’t send Pam Bondi to do either job. Not if you intend the job to get done.

Women aren’t built for that. It’s not part of their genetic makeup. That doesn’t mean there aren’t exceptions, though I can’t think of one.

So the hope or expectation for justice died with the appointment of Pam Bondi. The very last thing this country needs is more estrogen at the DoJ.

People can pretend like it doesn’t make any difference, and to them, clearly it doesn’t.

To me it does. To me justice was the most important thing.

The people who did this to our country will get away with it now, most of them, when they should have been made an example of to the whole world.

And that’s over now.

Crime pays.

When the crimicrats are in charge, it’s full Hitler.

But if, by a miracle, conservatives win the election, suddenly we become a ‘gentler, softer’ nation again. Right back to gay Rinolandia.

That kind of weakness is what breeds the Hitlerian Left in the first place. Weakness provokes tyranny.

And since we won’t kill it, when it comes back, it will be more vicious than before, more certain that it was right all along, and it won’t make the same mistakes next time.

Pepe Lives Matter seems to think that Elon and Vivek can decimate the federal government on their say-so. But they don’t and won’t have the power to do that. They can make recommendations, but others will have to act on them. And I don’t know how much Trump can decimate on his own without Congress being involved. (Hopefully a lot). I would suspect lawsuits all over the place trying to stop him. So that’s going to take up a lot of time as well.

I agree with you, Scott, that justice should be right at the very top of things that have to be done in the next 4 years, or it won’t get done at all.

TheseTruths

My understanding is that any government agency that was created by executive order can also be dismantled by executive order. (I wasn’t able to quickly find a list of those created by EO.)
