Dear KMAG: 20250317 Trump Won Three Times ❀ Open Topic


Joe Biden never won. This is our Real President – 45, 46, 47.

AND our beautiful REALFLOTUS.


This Stormwatch Monday Open Thread remains open – 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 (with KMAG being a bit of both).

And yes, it’s Monday…again.

But we WILL get through it!

We will always remember Wheatie,

Pray for Trump,

Yet have fun,

and HOLD ON when things get crazy!


We will follow the RULES of civility that Wheatie left for us:

Wheatie’s Rules:

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

And while we engage in vigorous free speech, we will remember Wheatie’s advice on civility, non-violence, and site unity:

“We’re on the same side here so let’s not engage in friendly fire.”

“Let’s not give the odious Internet Censors a reason to shut down this precious haven that Wolf has created for us.”

If this site gets shut down, please remember various ways to get back in touch with the rest of the gang:

Our beloved country is under Occupation by hostile forces.

Daily outrage and epic phuckery abound.

We can give in to despair…or we can be defiant and fight back in any way that we can.

Joe Biden didn’t win.

And we will keep saying Joe Biden didn’t win until we get His Fraudulency out of our White House.


Wolfie’s Wheatie’s Word of the Week:

THE STUFF

Wait a minute! This is St. Patrick’s day! What’s Ireland up to?

Let’s see how well that ages!

Sometimes the brevicaudates need some assistance.

Juuuuuuust sayin’!

And remember…….

Until victory, have faith!

And trust the big plan, too!

And as always….

ENJOY THE SHOW

“existential crisis”

Is any crisis non-existential? Does anyone even know what “existential crisis” means or how it should be applied in a given situation?

adjective
1. of or relating to existence:
Does climate change pose an existential threat to humanity?
2. of, relating to, or characteristic of philosophical existentialism; concerned with the nature of human existence as determined by the individual’s freely made choices.

https://www.britannica.com

existential-crisis

Existential crisis | Definition, Meaning, Symptoms, Examples …

a period of inner conflict during which a person is distraught over questions about identity, meaning, and purpose.

If it applies to personal identity crises, to “the nature of human existence,” and to situations that threaten the existence of mankind, how is it that every political and governmental snafu is an existential crisis? IMO this is one of the most overused terms in the English language.

This Manxome nature may be the reason for the version names, which are (in alphabetical order) an adjective and an animal name beginning with the same letter — as “Jammy Jellyfish” or “Noble Numbat”.

This is compared to Debian (upon which Ubuntu is based), which gets its version names from characters in the Toy Story movies — e.g. “Bullseye”, “Stretch”, and “Jessie”. Debian is developed globally.

Linux Mint is run by a Frenchman in Ireland. Naturally, then, Mint versions have the names of women — “Virginia”, “Sylvia”, “Rosa”….

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

Dealing with Debian the names are annoying. Lately they’ve started with “B” (buster, bookworm, and bullseye) and you have to fricking memorize them to know which one is the most recent. I had to tell someone, please just use the damn version numbers so I know what’s what.

At least with Ubuntu the names are in alphabetic order, though they did “wrap” and go from X to B in 2018. There the disadvantage is that non-LTS releases exist (three out of every four) and they all get names. At least a Debian release is a full release.

cthulhu

Combined with the E&J Gallo “we’ll release no version before its time” schedule, the Debian version names are indeed quite annoying. You’re looking for Bookworm until you aren’t any more…..

Even though you get a plethora of names for Ubuntu versions, the numbers are still available — and the regular publication schedule with LTS versions is a great aid to keeping track of where/when you are.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

Fortunately in Qubes they do use the Debian numbers…we’re on Debian-12, for those of us using Debian templates for our VMs.

You see these stems frequently in the names of fish from Lake Tanganyika.

Neolamprologus brevis is a short fish that is generally less than two inches long. They live in discarded snail shells, and are quite pugnacious for being so small….

By contrast, Neolamprologus caudopunctatus is named for the pearly spots found on its tail.

And in music, the end part of some pieces is called the coda, the tail. But as these terms are from Italian, it isn’t too much of a surprise to see that it is close to the Latin.

Suspicious Cat is a Manx? Who knew?

One of the Sanskrit words for ‘short’ or ‘small ‘ is actually “mraghu”, which is actually so close to the PIE root, that one must question the methodology used to create these PIE (Proto Indo European) words.
Actually 70% of the whole corpus of PIE words come from Sanskrit.
The fact is there is no evidence that PIE ever did exist. It is a made-up language.

Just after midnight – President Trump lit a BOMB….

Donald J. Trump@realDonaldTrump
The “Pardons” that Sleepy Joe Biden gave to the Unselect Committee of Political Thugs, and many others, are hereby declared VOID, VACANT, AND OF NO FURTHER FORCE OR EFFECT, because of the fact that they were done by Autopen. In other words, Joe Biden did not sign them but, more importantly, he did not know anything about them! The necessary Pardoning Documents were not explained to, or approved by, Biden. He knew nothing about them, and the people that did may have committed a crime. Therefore, those on the Unselect Committee, who destroyed and deleted ALL evidence obtained during their two year Witch Hunt of me, and many other innocent people, should fully understand that they are subject to investigation at the highest level. The fact is, they were probably responsible for the Documents that were signed on their behalf without the knowledge or consent of the Worst President in the History of our Country, Crooked Joe Biden!

Gudthots

The Christian religion is inescapably ritualistic (one is received into the church by a solemn washing with water), uncompromisingly moral (“be ye perfect as your Father in heaven is perfect,” said Jesus), and unapologetically intellectual (be ready to give a “reason for the hope that is in you,” in the words of I Peter). Like all the major religions of the world, Christianity is more than a set of devotional practices and a moral code: it is also a way of thinking about God, about human beings, about the world and history. For Christians, thinking is part of believing.

Robert Louis Wilken, The Spirit of Early Christian Thought. Seeking the Face of God, xiii.

Gudthots

(another excerpt)

Although I deal with ideas and arguments, I am convinced that the study of early Christian thought has been too preoccupied with ideas. The intellectual effort of the early church was at the service of a much loftier goal than giving conceptual form to Christian belief. Its mission was to win the hearts and minds of men and women and to change their lives. Christian thinkers appealed to a much deeper level of human experience than had the religious institutions of society or the doctrines of the philosophers. In this endeavour the Bible was a central factor. It narrated a history that reached back into antiquity even to the beginning of the world, it was filled with stories of unforgettable men and women (not all admirable) who were actual historical persons rather than mythical figures, and it poured forth a thesaurus of words that created a new religious vocabulary and a cornucopia of scenes and images that stirred literary and artistic imagination as well as theological thought. God, the self, human community, the beginning and ending of things became interwoven with biblical history, biblical language, and biblical imagery.

The church gave men and women a new love, Jesus Christ, a person who inspired their actions and held their affections. This was a love unlike others. For it was not only that Jesus was a wise teacher, or a compassionate human being who reached out to the sick and needy or even that he patiently suffered abuse and calumny and died a cruel death, but that after his death God had raised him from the dead to a new life. He who once was dead now lives. The Resurrection of Jesus is the central fact of Christian devotion and the ground of all Christian thinking. The Resurrection was not a solitary occurrence, a prodigious miracle, but an event within the framework of Jewish history, and it brought into being a new community, the church. Christianity enters history not only as a message but also as a communal life, a society or city, whose inner disciplines and practices, rituals and creeds, and institutions and traditions were the setting for Christian thinking. (xiv-xv)

This is a serious error. A pardon is an affirmative defense, especially if it is one that can be disputed [like these]. It is NOT a statutory immunity [like Big Pharma or Big Tech].

An argument can now be made by the thugs, when they get indicted, that the charges are politically motivated and therefore not criminal. This becomes a stronger argument because of DJT’s attack [very justified] on the law firms.

In criminal law, beware the rule of lenity.

IMO, this entire situation will now be fought out in court.
However, also IMO, what President Trump47 did was to “throw the grenade” into the issue of whether or not “President Biden” was competent to permit the use of the “auto-pen”, or to have read and understood what he was “signing.”

Where are they going to get the evidence regarding whether he authorized them or not? That’s the only question – did he authorize [single person executive branch theory]?

Aubergine

Put me in front of the Supreme Court for five minutes, and I will convince them that “preemptive” pardons MUST be eliminated and null.

Here’s how:

If a President can preemptively pardon anyone at all, then he could pardon a professional assassin to kill every one of you in your beds. And there’s nothing anyone could do about it. Even if he or she were caught, they were pardoned before being charged.

Even the Left can understand that.

scott467

“An argument can now be made by the thugs, when they get indicted, that the charges are politically motivated and therefore not criminal.”

______________

A) The mountain of evidence will clear any judicial hurdle to show that the charges are legitimate

B) to not charge them for the gravity of offenses committed would be an injustice only matched by the crimes which they committed

C) the answer cannot be ‘nothing’, there must be a remedy

To suggest that a pardon, given by someone without the authority to do so (someone other than the p-resident), to absolve someone of High Crimes and Treason in coordination with the people (not p-Resident) who committed the crimes, and then to further suggest that for these criminals to now have an even greater claim to freedom because the new POTUS is determined to hold these criminals accountable to the LAW is to put the DoJ in a no-win, no-remedy situation.

No one has the right to do wrong.

The criminals in question did unspeakable wrong.

The criminals who conspired to cover up the crimes did unspeakable wrong.

The criminals who fraudulently sold and signed pardons did unspeakable wrong.

If the Justice system has no remedy for these heinous acts against our Republic, then our Justice system is wholly inadequate for these criminals and the offenses they committed, and they shall be tried in a military court.

THERE WILL BE JUSTICE.

If the broken legal system doesn’t like it, we’ll use another 👍

Catherine Herridge:

BREAKING:

An internal FBI inclusivity “Guide,” obtained by our team, counseled agents on “Ways to Manage Your Unconscious Bias,” “Micro-Inequities” and “How to Improve Your Inclusive Intelligence.”

“The New IQ: Your Guide to Sustaining Inclusive Habits in the Workplace” was shared in mid-2020 and includes nine “tips” to counter unconscious bias. 

Separately, as part of our investigation, recently retired FBI agents said they saw, firsthand, how law enforcement capabilities were compromised because merit took a backseat to DEI priorities.

They dubbed the legendary FBI Quantico Training Academy the “Participation Academy” because of headquarters’ pressure to “push through” poorly performing candidates to meet DEI objectives.

The retired agents said FBI Director Patel inherits a workforce where standards dropped impacting physical fitness of agents, their firearms skills as well as professional qualifications, putting the FBI mission and safety at risk.

DEEP DIVE

More than a half dozen recently retired FBI agents agreed to speak with me on a confidential basis. 

They said they feared retaliation for describing their experiences with the FBI’s DEI initiatives. While fiercely loyal to the bureau, they said they felt compelled to come forward, citing a dangerous reduction in standards.

The group of retired agents was diverse.  It included male, female, Asian, Black and White agents from field offices in different parts of the country. 

Their work experience covered multiple facets of the recruitment and training process. Everyone we spoke with offered a first hand account of DEI’s impact.

The retired agents told me they valued diversity because it could strengthen the FBI mission but in recent years FBI leadership took the attitude the bureau was “too White.”   

We were told that the physical fitness performance of candidates declined. The requirements include timed sit-ups (1 minute), timed 300-m sprint, untimed push-up maximum and timed 1.5-mile run. 

The retired agents described recruits who had an ‘attitude problem.’ The recruits would quit the long distance run or claim injuries if they thought they would not pass a requirement. The number of successfully completed push ups was routinely low because many recruits didn’t have the skill or strength to follow the required protocol (i.e bad form, not low enough.) 

What we learned about firearms training was also concerning.  We were told some recruits lacked the “mental toughness” to competently handle weapons. Other candidates had documented mental health issues.  While their performance was poor, there was a “push them through Quantico attitude.” 

The backbone of FBI investigations is a witness interview summary known as a “302.”  In some cases, new agents lacked basic writing skills to complete a 302, in part, because work experience requirements had been relaxed.  Once poor performing recruits were “pushed through Quantico,” the hope was that FBI Field Offices would fix them.

These retired FBI agents are solution oriented and respectfully asked if Director Patel would be willing to meet with them because they understand where the change needs to happen internally.

Describing how “woke broke the FBI,” one of the agents shared the wrenching personal decision to discourage their child from following in their professional footsteps.

In response to our questions, FBI spokesman Ben Williamson said, “Director Patel’s new FBI will be an entirely mission focused institution — working every day to get criminals off our streets, keep the American people safe, and let good agents be good agents. We are aggressively working to abide by any Presidential directive to root out politically motivated, social engineering projects — they have zero home here and never will as long as Director Patel is at the helm.”

So naturally, the Left took all this information and used it to create a hermetically sealed ideological Ivory Tower which excluded every and any conceivable conservative thought 😂

The decline began long ago, long before any of this. This crap just accelerated the decline.

It started when they agreed to be used as pawns and do the dirty work for politicians and the clowns. Pension preservation was the order back then. They would insulate the foot soldiers from the subterfuge until it was so corrupted and politicized it no longer mattered who saw it. DIE was the final phase of insanity for an org that has been heading to the dead dog stage of the life cycle.

That whistleblowers are coming out now in numbers is just confirmation of my statement above. It has gone too far, over the cliff. They do not want to be considered a part of what they knew then and know describe is corrupted. It is a mafia like org. I could take them more serious if they had risked their pensions and careers when they first knew what they are now willing to talk about. CYA if you ask me.

I guess you’re overlooking how our side was accused of being tin foil hat wearing conspiracy nuts. Lots of warnings were ridiculed and/or disparaged for quite a long time.

That’s my view for the delay, plus complaining to the jailer about poor jail conditions usually does not change anything.

My point, which may not have been clear, is that they are whistleblowers after the fact, not when the crap activities and abuses were ongoing and at their height.

No problem, my friend. I could have worded it better the first time.

Valerie Curren

My son, who is a Detroit firefighter/EMT, said that he had been talking with veteran firefighters & they lamented the dumbed down standards that were letting women & formerly unqualified men attain these lesser requirements. People who formerly would have never passed the qualifications are let in & the quality of service suffers significantly. These are apparently lowered standards physically & otherwise.

There was a recent firefighter who didn’t have the mental fortitude to “hold the pipe”, as in being on the firehose to douse an active fire, so he dropped it & let a lieutenant pick it up, something that would have been unheard of in former days.

Jobs requiring certain levels of strength & mental fortitude should not be compromised for some “diversity” goal that can significantly endanger public safety & morale of the team!

DEI minded people usually seem to have an attitude too. The impression is that whether or not they met the physical and mental reqs..many things are at their discretion, they choose to follow orders or not.

“The group were living in fear of the man who posed a threat to the entire team, the researcher wrote.

The team member was also accused of sexually assaulting one of his colleagues.

The author of the email, which was shared with South Africa’s Sunday Times, wrote: ‘Regrettably, his behaviour has escalated to a point that is deeply disturbing.

‘Specifically, he physically assaulted [X], which is a grave violation of personal safety and workplace norms.

‘Furthermore, he threatened to kill [X], creating an environment of fear and intimidation.

‘I remain deeply concerned about my own safety, constantly wondering if I might become the next victim.’

The author expressed immense concern over the colleague’s ‘increasingly egregious behaviour’ and called for immediate action to ensure their own safety and that of the team as a whole.”

“Neither the author nor the accused have been named.”

________________

Wonder who they’re protecting.

With white people being subjected to genocide in South Africa, it’s hard to imagine the team is all white people (or even any white people), and if the team consists of blacks and whites, it’s hard to imagine the racial hatred happening at home hasn’t been carried over to the antarctic research station.

So I suspect this is why the names have not been revealed.

Whether or not race is a component, clearly the man in question is the biggest or strongest member of the team, because if he wasn’t, the man who is would already have handled the situation.

If the allegations are true, there is only one thing to do, and it should have happened immediately.

It’s inconceivable that such a circumstance isn’t part of their training and preparation. When you are thousands of miles from civilization, there is no law besides the people who are there, and if something goes wrong, they need to be prepared to deal with it.

No different than if they were on the space station. If they are not trained and prepared to deal with a scenario like this, I’m not even sure what the proper term is for such gross negligence.

If a member of the group has snapped, or gone rogue, committed sexual assault and threatened to kill someone, posing a threat to the entire team, that has to be dealt with immediately and aggressively.

No mention is made of the size of the group.

If it’s a small group, e.g., 3 men and 3 women, the perpetrator only has to neutralize one of the other men to create a scenario where the rest of the team is even less likely to act.

Unless any of the women have some kind of real combat training, there isn’t going to be much they can do, if even the other men are hesitant to challenge the perpetrator. And the longer they think about it, the harder it is going to be, to do what has to be done.

There must be guns. The first thing to do is to secure the guns, because if the perpetrator gets a gun, it’s gonna be a long winter.

If someone else besides the perpetrator has the gun(s), the situation should already have been resolved.

If for some inconceivable reason there is no gun (or guns), then the entire group, every able bodied person (which would be all of them), is going to have to gang tackle the lunatic and subdue him.

If he’s Andre the Giant, if he is so big or strong that they cannot subdue him, then they’ll have no other choice but to shoot him. If they don’t have a gun, they’ll need to use a flare gun.

He’s not Andre the Giant, but they are going to need to subdue him just the same, which probably means knocking him unconscious with a blunt instrument.

If they do that, they need to find a way to incarcerate him, and then be responsible for his food and medical care over the next 10 months. And that’s going to be a challenge in a remote environment, without a prison cell constructed specifically for that purpose.

If they subdue him and find a way to incarcerate him, and he escapes, they’re all dead, or worse. If (when) he escapes, he will kill whoever poses the greatest threat first, and then the rest of them will only wish they were dead.

So that all needs to be taken into consideration, when the confrontation takes place. If they can’t subdue and incarcerate, they are only going to succeed in making the situation exponentially more dangerous for themselves, because retribution for challenging him will be swift and certain.

Which effectively means they have one chance to subdue him, and it needs to be permanent, because failure means death (and worse), and even if they managed to incarcerate him, they can’t watch a dangerous maniac 24/7 for the next 10 months in some kind of impromptu prison cell.

Hope the team is big, the more team members against one, the better.

But if that was the case, the situation would already have been handled.

So they are faced with a horrible dilemma. They are likely going to have to put this guy down, with premeditation, to save their own lives — and for whatever reason, they are afraid to do it, because it hasn’t happened yet.

And these aren’t the kind of people who have any experience with that kind of thing, because if any of them did, it would, again, have already happened.

And whoever would lead the confrontation, has no way of being sure the others will follow, or whether they will retreat.

This situation is as old as humanity, until the invention of the gun.

So the first question has to be, where are the guns?

A research station in Antarctica must have firearms, if for no other reason, than to hunt food, if that became necessary.

But the best reason to have firearms is in case the most dangerous predator turns out to be a member of the team.

Like now, for instance.

All the more reasons for declining to go in the first place.

A research station in Antarctica must have firearms, if for no other reason, than to hunt food, if that became necessary.

That reason actually doesn’t apply except right on the coast. All life in Antarctica ultimately depends on the ocean for food.

At Union Glacier, for instance, there is NO wildlife whatsoever, other than a very occasional bird.

They’re at a place called Sanae IV base.

Looks like it is right on the coast:

Some interesting details about the station.

Wiki:

“The first three SANAE research stations were located on the Fimbul Ice Shelf near the coast, and were subject to the gradual snow burial and eventual crushing that occurs with all stations constructed in this fashion. With a vision of creating a more permanent station, SANAE IV was completed in 1997 using a design which was revolutionary at the time – a structure raised on stilts which allows snow to blow through underneath and thus limits deposition.

By constructing the base near the cliffs of Vesleskarvet, the concept was advanced further: snow that would collect downwind of the base and eventually advance to cover it is instead blown off the 250 m high cliffs into the wind-scoop beyond. By virtue of this feature, the station should far exceed the short useful life of its predecessors, and the raised design has since been applied to newer stations, such as the British Antarctic Survey’s new Halley Research Station and Germany’s new Neumayer Station III.

The station has an orange coloured roof for better visibility from the air. The underside of the station used to be painted in a blue colour which in theory was warmed somewhat by the sun and contributed to reducing the build-up of ice underneath the station. In 1999 the South African minister of Environment and Tourism decided that this colour scheme is too reminiscent of South Africa’s old flag, and ordered the orange roof to be painted bright red. Eventually, the roof remained orange and the blue underside was painted orange as well.”

Here’s a team photo from 2015 – 2016:

Looks like all male, blacks outnumber whites 16 to 8.

Assuming the teams are all male for some reason, then apparently the sexual assault was male on male, and I would be shocked if there is not a racial component involved, where the violence is black on white, the blacks outnumber the whites 2 to 1, and things have broken down along tribal lines.

Hence the call for help, and hence the reason no names have been released, because names would likely identify the race of the victims and the perpetrators.

So going by photos back to 2011, women are sometimes included on the teams, the teams sometimes have 11 members instead of 10, white people used to be the majority of team members, now white people are the minority.

If he’s a genuine threat, get him to go outside for something and lock all the doors except one. That one should go into an isolated part of the station you’ve stocked with supplies beforehand.

“If he’s a genuine threat, get him to go outside for something and lock all the doors except one. That one should go into an isolated part of the station you’ve stocked with supplies beforehand.”

______________

Then they will have condemned themselves to not go outside again for the next 10 months, until help arrives, barricaded in their cubicle, while the lunatic can take his sweet time figuring out how to break into their section of the station.

If there are even any locks on the doors.

It’s not as if there are any local street thugs who might break in, and the building was constructed with the knowledge that anyone who is outside requires entry for survival.

It would be unfortunate to accidentally lock oneself out, and the only spare key is back in South Africa.

But suppose there are locks on the doors. And suppose the doors are heavy steel fire doors that he can’t break down or through, and so are the walls. Suppose they built a fortress out in the middle of nowhere, where a fortress isn’t needed.

He can still spend the next 10 months terrorizing them. He is going to be very angry about being locked out, and with a lot of time on his hands to think about what he’d like to do them.

Or maybe he just lights their entire section of the pod on fire.

They’re coming out then, for sure.

And he will be waiting for them.

Heeeeee’res Johnny!

Here are some details about the construction of the station. Doesn’t look like there is any section that they don’t need, which could be given to the criminal to inhabit:

………………………
Wiki: “SANAE IV consists of three linked modules, each double-story, 44 metres (144 ft) long and 14 metres (46 ft) wide. Two smaller nearby structures contain the satellite dish used for communications and the diesel fuel bunkers. Joined end-on-end in a north–south orientation, the base modules are complemented on the northern end by a large raised helicopter landing area with a lifting section allowing vehicles to be brought up into the hangar for maintenance.

C-block, the northernmost module, contains the large hangar, generator room, workshop, water storage, sewage processing plant, equipment stores, offices of the mechanical and electrical engineers, flight operations office, gymnasium and sauna. The neutron monitors of the North-West University[8] are also housed in this area.

B-block, the middle module, contains the kitchen, dining area, two TV lounges, bar, games room, smoker’s room, library, a laundry and accommodation units.

A-block, the southern module, contains the radio room and communications hub, medical facility, darkroom, various research project offices, leader’s office, two physics labs, wet lab, store-rooms, another laundry, and accommodation units.
The modules are linked by single-story connections that also serve as entrances with stairways down to the surface 4m below the base. Each link contains an entrance hall with two sets of doors (creating a rudimentary ‘air-lock’ to prevent excessive cooling when entering and exiting the base) as well as a change-room, ablution facility and electronic distribution boards.”

They have to go outside regularly for snow, to melt for water.

……………………………….
Facilities:

“The base generates power using three diesel generators. Water is generated by manually shovelling snow into a snow smelter, which then melts the snow and ice and pumps water automatically into the holding tanks. Waste water and sewerage is treated within the base, with the only by-product being clean water which is then released back into the environment. All refuse is sorted, crushed and sealed in empty fuel drums for return to South Africa.

Although the base is well insulated by its 0.5-metre (1 ft 8 in) thick walls and triple-glazed windows, the internal areas have to be actively warmed. This is accomplished by three means. Firstly, the heat generated by the diesel generators is used to heat water for the taps and showers, which is then circulated through the base.

Secondly, the same generator heat is used to heat air which is distributed by the climate control system. Thirdly, small electric wall and fan heaters are available in all indoor areas. Efforts are made to maintain the interior temperature at 18 °C (64 °F), although some areas (such as the hangar) do cool well below this in winter.

SANAE IV has advanced communications capabilities using both satellite and radio systems. A permanent satellite connection to the SANAP headquarters in Cape Town provides three telephone lines and one fax line, and near-broadband internet access.

Team members in Antarctica enjoy fast internet access which allows them to correspond with colleagues and stay in contact with friends and family.”
……………………………..

They have a permanent satellite connection to Cape Town.

So why send a public email for help?

Has the perpetrator already taken over the communications module?

Or have they already tried, and Cape Town HQ is unsympathetic to white victims of a black perpetrator?

scott467

Looks like the overwinter crew consists of 10 people.

9 people should be able to easily physically overwhelm any one person.

Unless the team has split along racial lines.

……………………….
“The overwintering team remains at the base alone and isolated between the months of March and December. To be fully self-sufficient, the team typically consists of the following personnel:

• An electronic engineer who doubles as communications technician,

• A mechanical engineer responsible for the base systems

• An electrical engineer who manages power generation and distribution

• Two diesel mechanics responsible for maintenance of the diesel generators, heavy vehicles and skidoos

• A meteorologist who performs both observations and forecasting

• A cosmic ray physicist/engineer responsible for various research projects

• A high frequency radar physicist/engineer responsible for the auroral radar projects

• A third scientist responsible for the International Polar Year projects and other installations

A medical doctor

An expedition leader is selected from the overwintering team prior to the departure of the expedition, and a deputy elected to serve in his place should the need arise. The expedition leader is responsible for administrative tasks and reports to the South African National Antarctic Programme headquarters in South Africa.”
……………………….

.

The medical doctor should be able to use a tranquilizer of some kind to knock the perpetrator out. Then they can decide what to do with him.

Sanae IV (South Africa) Total Length*: 576.44 feet (all three together) Width: 48.6 feet Height: 33.6 feet *This station is comprised of three buildings with slightly different dimensions. The research station of the South African National Antarctic Expedition, completed in 1997, is the oldest of this new generation. But what it lacks in technology it makes up for in location. The base rests dramatically on top of an outcropping, known as a nunatak, some 800 feet high. The void below acts as a subzero maelstrom, sucking in snow and keeping it from burying the station up above. Furthermore, Sanae’s position about 100 miles inland, off the ice, and situated on solid rock makes it ideal for sensitive seismological studies and GPS research. Teams of up to 10 scientists, engineers, mechanics, and doctors do 15-month stints perched here. Call it a lab with a view.

They ain’t sayin.

All the public gets is BS boilerplate and obligatory call-outs to pagan green religion fantasy:

……………………….
Wiki: “SANAE IV’s reason for existence is to provide a permanent year-round base for scientists undertaking research projects under the auspices of SANAP. Investigations carried-out year-round are predominantly in the physical sciences, while the summer months allow research in more diverse fields such as oceanography, biology, geology and geomorphology.

Recent projects have also focused on sources of renewable energy such as solar and particularly wind power generation. There is not currently any formal medical research being undertaken.

Ongoing physical science research programs includes the Antarctic Magnetospheric and Ionospheric Ground-based Observation (AMIGO),  Southern Hemisphere Auroral Radar Experiment (SHARE),  and Super Dual Auroral Radar Network (SuperDARN), Antarctic Research on Cosmic Rays (ANOKS),  very low frequency (VLF) radio research and various International Polar Year projects.

Gudthots

The unsettling thing about that story is that a guy who supports his family doing landscape maintenance, in his free time, studied earth movement data publicly available and developed a model for predicting the manner in which energy and pressure would predictably generate earthquakes around the globe.

And the response from the “gatekeepers” was character assassination, deplatforming, and even swatting his home.

para59r

This will need more validation.
While I’m sure Dutchsinse got Grok 3 to do earth quake predictions using his model that does not mean that Grok 3 does earth quake predictions for anyone, nor does it mean that Grok 3 will pick up the slack for earth quake predictions when Dutchshine is not about to do his own.
Grok 3 has indicated to me that it does not store it’s information beyond the user level.
If I’m wrong about that you should be able to open this link and see what I see, which is a very long discourse. But I think you will instead land on the page that asks you to give Grok 3 a try instead. Test it now and let me know as I still do not have a valid test to this. The only person to try said they’d have to sign into Twitter to find out and they did not have a working account.

St Patrick’s Day
From Hallow.com

Introduction
St. Patrick’s Day (March 17) is one of the most globally celebrated feast days. From the city of Chicago that dyes its river green to the many parades in Ireland, North American cities, and elsewhere, this day commemorates the saint who introduced Ireland to Christianity. 

Outside of Ireland, those cities include Boston, Chicago, and New York, just to name a few. All are home to large parades and streets lined with green decor to celebrate “St. Paddy,” typically on the weekend before or after the feast day on March 17.

Overall, this day has transformed into more of a cultural celebration than a religious one per se, though there are many prayers and Irish blessings we’ll share with you to prayerfully celebrate this Catholic saint aside from the corned beef and cabbage. 

About St. Patrick
St. Patrick is one of the most well-known saints worldwide, with millions who share his name (Pádraig, Patricio, Patrício to name a few translations) and many churches named after him. Ever visited St. Patrick’s Cathedral in Manhattan? 
Born in the late fourth century A.D. in Roman Britain (either Scotland or Wales, historians debate), legend holds this saint drove all snakes out of Ireland, though we know there have never been snakes in Ireland. This legend likely arose from the credit to St. Patrick’s for spreading Christianity in Ireland; he is known as the great “Apostle of Ireland.” 

St. Patrick was actually kidnapped when he was 16 by Irish raiders in his homeland and taken to Ireland where he was enslaved for several years. According to tradition, he spent six years in the Slemish Mountain region in Northern Ireland as a shepherd of pigs and sheep. He eventually escaped and journeyed back to his homeland as a stowaway across the North Channel. 
Upon returning, he studied Christianity and became a deacon and, ultimately, a bishop. After a great vision, St. Patrick returned to Ireland to evangelize. 

As we read in his Confessio,

So I am first of all a simple country person, a refugee, and unlearned. I do not know how to provide for the future. But this I know for certain, that before I was brought low, I was like a stone lying deep in the mud. Then he who is powerful came and in his mercy pulled me out, and lifted me up and placed me on the very top of the wall. That is why I must shout aloud in return to the Lord for such great good deeds of his, here and now and forever, which the human mind cannot measure.

St. Patrick

Many believe that St. Patrick used the symbol of the shamrock – the three-leafed clover – as a means of evangelization; the three leaves represent the Holy Trinity of God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit

I know this one is four leafed, but the green is nice:

When I was 15 years old, I did a 30-day tour of Europe. On the way to our first official destination (Rome) our plane stopped off at Shannon airport in Ireland to refuel. I remember looking out the plane’s window at the countryside around the airport and thinking I had never before seen so many shades of green.

Mind you, I had grown up around Los Angeles and was quite familiar with shades of tan.

🍀☘️HAPPY ST. PATRICK’S DAY!🍀☘️

We must remember the great debt that civilization owes the Irish.

The Irish monks saved the Word of Truth and Light during the dark ages of the encroachment of pagan Islam.

It was St. Patrick, St Columba 
and other brave GOD-loving 
potato and oatmeal-eating Irish monks,
In the Irish island monasteries,
Who preserved the Word and the Faith,
And saved civilization!

HOW THE IRISH SAVED CIVILIZATION by historian Thomas Cahill – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_the_Irish_Saved_Civilization

The Celtic Monks that Saved Civilization – http://www.markfisherauthor.com/2016/08/the-celtic-monks-that-saved-civilization-part-i/

Quote:
“Cahill argues a case for the Irish people’s critical role in preserving Western Civilization from utter destruction by the Huns and the Germanic tribes (Visigoths, Franks, Angles, Saxons, Ostrogoths, etc.). The book retells the story from the collapse of the Roman Empire and the pivotal role played by members of the clergy at the time. A particular focus is placed upon Saint Patrick and retells his early struggles through slavery; basically retelling portions of The Confession of Saint Patrick. Early parts of the book examine Ireland before Patrick and the role of Saint Augustine of Canterbury. Particular focus is placed upon Saint Columba and the monks he trained and the monasteries he set up in the Hiberno-Scottish mission. These holy men, according to Cahill, “single-handedly refounded European civilization throughout the continent.”

God Rules
 
Many believe in some vague way,
God works unseen in life’s great maze,
But that’s not what God’s Word has to say –
God charts our steps through all our days.
 
For Trump, a stage in Butler stood,
Where plans of men turned dark and grim,
But faith, from God, grew where He would,
A moment’s grace now shaping him.
 
So when a bullet nicked Trump’s ear,
An instant after turning his head,
That’s when Trump knew that God is near,
But for His soft hand, he’d be dead.
 
The crowd held breath, the nation saw,
A leader spared by will divine,
Trump’s heart awoke to heaven’s law –
God’s sovereign choice, not man’s design.
 
By God’s will, kings are raised or torn,
Through hands beyond our fleeting sight,
On Butler’s stage, Trump’s faith reborn,
Assured that God still holds the fight.
 
In such a way the whole world could see,
A leader arose by God’s hand.
God’s divine will won this victory
To show He is Sovereign in our land.

the terrible storms went thru here yesterday afternoon. tremendous winds, bursts of heavy rain but within a short time it was done. water is, of course, running everywhere now and the stream is higher than normal, but around midnight we lost power. no power here means no water (we have a well) and unfortunately no cell service or internet either. (we have a cell extender that requires power).
so this morning hubby drove to an area where he finally had cell service and reported the outage (which the dipshits informed him could be found on their website.) they said there were wide spread outages in this area but had information on the restoration of power.
We powered up our generator and plugged in the 2 extension cords to charge up and run appliances as needed. We received a call back from the power company telling us the power should be restored by Wednesday morning.
we have been considering a whole house generator…anyone got any recommendations or opinions about those?

Aubergine

“so this morning hubby drove to an area where he finally had cell service and reported the outage (which the dipshits informed him could be found on their website.) they said there were wide spread outages in this area but had information on the restoration of power.”

Well, if you have Starlink, you can get online. That’s why I broke down and got it. After the horrible floods in NC where people were cut off for months, I just had to.

So far, it’s been nothing but fantastic, and honestly, after the initial investment (about $400 once I got the roof mount), it’s only $30 a month more than the service I had before. It’s twice as fast, and it won’t go down in a storm.

patfrederick

we have satellite internet–the ONLY internet we can get out here. we’ve been waiting for starlink to to be available here, but we’ve seen nothing yet. i’ll have hubby check again.

Aubergine

Drat! I hope you can get it. It’s good.

Aubergine

It’s good.

Also, if I ever had to flee home in the face of a disaster, I could pop it off the roof, take the modem, and I would have internet anywhere. It’s literally plug and play.

kalbokalbs

Long answer.

Power failures and generators.

Daughter has whole home generator. Generac. Works great. Set to test run for ten minutes weekly. Powers up very quickly when power failure sensed.

  • A few hurricanes ago, it powered up on queue and ran ~48 hours.
  • Hugely expensive.
  • They are happy. (They have money.)

Slow Guy.

  • Had electricians install manual switch. Isolates our home from street power. Great mechanical switch – fool proof. I believe we paid ~$1,100.
  • Furman tri-fuel generator. Natural gas, propane and gas. COSTCO ~$700.
  • I run it ~first of every month on propane, for an hour. Good for the generator and charges the battery for electric start. Also has manual start option.
  • Have run it on natural gas, to be sure it works. My long term power failure option.
  • Never gasoline as I don’t want gasoline in the lines, unless natural gas / propane is not available. (gasoline rots, including lines, seals…)
  • Will not run the entire house. Will run everything I Need. Lights, fridges/freezers and I pick one AC, heater or washer/dryer. Circuit breaker box is labeled properly, so this is Easy.
  • Very pleased with our decision to go manual.

FWIW. We also have two, Honda 2K generators we purchased long ago. Lights, fridge/freezer. Decided to upgrade when we moved to Texas. While power failures are not common, they are far more likely here in Texas. Days, not unheard of.

Even if we had big money to go Generac, I’d go the way we have.

Best wishes for whatever you choose.

patfrederick

thanks for all the info!!
this is definitely hubby’s area not mine.

para59r

Genrac is normally accessible/contracted through COSTCO. I’m sure a Sams Club will have access to another brand. Such would result in monthly service charges I think so that it automatically kicks on when it’s needed.

Might be better to buy a regular generator and then have an electrician wire it into the home so you can avoid all the extra costs and only fire it up when you need it.

kalbokalbs

My understanding far different.

  • “Commonly” Costco. I had an estimate via a Generac dude. got the number off his truck, while he was installing in the hood.
  • HD has a like set-up with Generac or Kohler in-store signage. Likely Lowe’s also.
  • The generator can be set up to test run. (Open the manual and or have installer set it up.)
  • The maintenance agreement is optional.

Daughter’s Generac has both maintenance agreement and the monthly (or is it weekly test run.) thinking back, I think test run is every Monday. 11AM or noon. Ten minutes. No maintenance guy comes by. Generac computer manages everything.

  • Generac installed. The auto switch is installed. Gas line run.

They prolly could have had a manual switch installed.

  • Yuppies with excess cash. An affliction I have never had to deal with.
patfrederick

thanks kal!

patfrederick

we have neither of those around here…think there’s a Sams club in NY about and hour and half from here though.

the electrician who wired our house was terrific and his apprentice has since taken over the business i believe. maybe that would be the best starting place, calling and talking to them about recommendations since they know the house and the terrain we have to deal with.

TradeBait2

Same as Kal for us. Tri-fuel from Costco. Couple the natural gas hose to the bib and crank it up. Test and run with propane periodically. Only has been one major outage in 40 years here (from a blizzard). For an occasional short term outage, I just use a 2K inverter gas generator as he describes. Clean power for electronics that can also be used for the fridge, microwave, etc. We have a natural gas fireplace for heat.

Another Leaker in the President Trump Administration. This person needs to be ratted out, fired and prosecuted.
“Report: The Reason Why WH Ignored Judge’s Order Requiring Planeload of Gangbangers to Turn Around”
Excerpts:
Here’s how it went down, according to a report:
The timeline: The president signed the executive order invoking the Alien Enemies Act on Friday night, but intentionally did not advertise
it. On Saturday morning, word of the order leaked, officials said, prompting a mad scramble to get planes in the air.
At 2:31 p.m. Saturday, an immigration activist who tracks deportation flights, posted on X that “TWO HIGHLY UNUSUAL ICE flights” were departing from Texas to El Salvador, which had agreed to accept Venezuelan gang members deported from the U.S.
Hours later, during a court hearing hours later filed by the ACLU., Boasberg ordered a halt to the deportations and said any flights should be turned around mid-air.
“This is something that you need to make sure is complied with immediately,” he told the Justice Department, according to the Washington Post.
At that point, about 6:51 p.m., both flights were off the Yucatan Peninsula, according to flight paths posted on X.

Sounds like there were only a few people who knew PDJT’s order was signed on Friday night. I hope it will not be difficult to find the leaker.

It would not surprise me if some of the judges are in on schemes like this, relying on insider information so they can make rulings to try to thwart Trump.

EACH DAY WE TAKE UP THE OFFENSIVE WEAPON OF THE WORD OF GOD – THE SWORD OF THE SPIRIT – ONE VERSE OPENS THE DOOR TO THE CONTEXT OF THE CHAPTER MESSAGE

Verse of the Day for Monday, March 17, 2025

“Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few;” 

Matthew 9:37 (KJV)

Jesus returns to Capernaum, and heals a paralytic. (1-8) Matthew called. (9) Matthew, or Levi’s feast. (10-13) Objections of John’s disciples. (14-17) Christ raises the daughter of Jairus, He heals the issue of blood. (18-26) He heals two blind men. (27-31) Christ casts out a dumb spirit. (32-34) He sends forth the apostles. (35-38)1-8 The faith of the friends of the paralytic in bringing him to Christ, was a strong faith; they firmly believed that Jesus Christ both could and would heal him. A strong faith regards no obstacles in pressing after Christ. It was a humble faith; they brought him to attend on Christ. It was an active faith. Sin may be pardoned, yet the sickness not be removed; the sickness may be removed, yet the sin not pardoned: but if we have the comfort of peace with God, with the comfort of recovery from sickness, this makes the healing a mercy indeed. This is no encouragement to sin. If thou bring thy sins to Jesus Christ, as thy malady and misery to be cured of, and delivered from, it is well; but to come with them, as thy darlings and delight, thinking still to retain them and receive him, is a gross mistake, a miserable delusion. The great intention of the blessed Jesus in the redemption he wrought, is to separate our hearts from sin. Our Lord Jesus has perfect knowledge of all that we say within ourselves. There is a great deal of evil in sinful thoughts, which is very offensive to the Lord Jesus. Christ designed to show that his great errand to the world was, to save his people from their sins. He turned from disputing with the scribes, and spake healing to the sick man. Not only he had no more need to be carried upon his bed, but he had strength to carry it. God must be glorified in all the power that is given to do good.

35-38 Jesus visited not only the great and wealthy cities, but the poor, obscure villages; and there he preached, there he healed. The souls of the meanest in the world are as precious to Christ, and should be so to us, as the souls of those who make the greatest figure. There were priests, Levites, and scribes, all over the land; but they were idol shepherds, #Zec 11:17|; therefore Christ had compassion on the people as sheep scattered, as men perishing for lack of knowledge. To this day vast multitudes are as sheep not having a shepherd, and we should have compassion and do all we can to help them. The multitudes desirous of spiritual instruction formed a plenteous harvest, needing many active labourers; but few deserved that character. Christ is the Lord of the harvest. Let us pray that many may be raised up and sent forth, who will labour in bringing souls to Christ. It is a sign that God is about to bestow some special mercy upon a people, when he stirs them up to pray for it. And commissions given to labourers in answer to prayer, are most likely to be successful.

Commentary by Matthew Henry, 1710.

WE ARE FIGHTING A SPIRITUAL WAR OF GOOD VERSUS EVIL

PRAYING ON THE ARMOR OF GOD

Father God, I now follow your command to put on the full armor of God, because my battle is not against flesh and blood but against rulers, authorities, the powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the unseen world.

I first pray on the Belt of Truth that it may be buckled around my waist, may I be centered and encircled by your truth dear Lord. Hem me inside all that is true and right, and may I be protected and held up by the truth of your living word, in my Lord Jesus name.

I pray on the Breastplate of righteousness, please protect my vital organs and my inner man, cover my integrity, my spirit, and my soul. Guard my heart for it is the wellspring of life, please strengthen and guard the most vulnerable places in my life with that which is right, good, and noble that I might not receive a fatal blow from the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.

I pray on the Gospel Shoes of Peace. I choose to stand in the shoes of your good news, and on the firm foundation of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the solid eternal rock. All other ground is sinking sand, I pray that I will not slip or fall, but that my feet would be firmly fitted on your lordship, my Lord Jesus. I choose to stand on you, so that the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus, the eternal Rock of Ages. I receive your holy peace now my Lord, from the sole of my feet to the crown of my head, in my Lord Jesus name.

I pray the Shield of Faith into my hand now. As I take up the shield of faith, I ask that you might extinguish every dart and arrow that is launched from the enemy to take me down spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, and every attempt of the enemy to destroy my joy. I ask that my faith in you would make it flame out. Extinguish every flaming arrow that would come against me, my life, my family, my home, or my ministry. May my faith always be out in front of me like a shield. Give me the courage to “faith my fears” by choosing to walk by faith and not by sight, in my Lord Jesus name.

I pray on the Helmet of Salvation, that you might protect my mind from the thoughts that can lead me astray. I choose to take every thought captive, and arrest all intentioned ideas and motives that would harm others, or distract me from your holy will for me. I submit every captured thought to the Lordship of my Lord Jesus Christ, and ask that you would imprison those thoughts that are not of you my Lord. Transform my mind and renew my thinking that I may think God thoughts, and have a sober mind that is focused on your glory. Please protect me from being double minded that I may allow my mind, I reject to live an earthly life, because I choose to live a holy one, governed by you My Lord Jesus, the prince of peace, please have my mind to be saturated with the holy mind of Christ, in my Lord Jesus name.

Finally, I take up the Sword of the Spirit which is the holy word of God, I pray this powerful offensive weapon into my hand, and ask that your holy word would be fitting for every encounter I face. As the enemy gets close to me, please give me the insight, wisdom, and skill to wield the word of God to drive away the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.

May the enemy and his team flee from me, upon hearing the word of God spoken by the power and direction of the Holy Spirit. Give me the sword of the spirit to cut through the wiles of the devil, so that I may discern the schemes of the enemy when he is near.

With all kinds of prayers, supplication, and intercession I pray to you my Lord God as the one who fights my battles. Now that I’m in your holy powerful armor, I walk away covered and ready to face my day as you go before me, and please protect me in the midst of the spiritual warfare in this unseen world, in my Lord Jesus name.

Thank you my Lord, for the spiritual weapons of armor and prayer that you have given me. It is written no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses me. 

Thank you Father God, my Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit, that I am more than a conqueror in my Lord Jesus. I pray all of this in the mighty name of my Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ, Amen.

DEAR LORD JESUS

We gather together – to acknowledge You
All honor and reverence is Yours – it’s true
Faith will guide our way in works for others
Our prayers for our sisters and our brothers.

We offer the first fruits of every day
The Spirit of God there guiding our way
To bless those in trouble and in turmoil
The deeds of the devil we plan to foil.

Our thinking – our actions – if flawed
These can separate us from our God
Anger and selfishness will do us in
If we judge others – that leads to sin.

The seven deadly are ones to avoid
They cause dissension and love is destroyed
Pride, greed, lust, wrath, gluttony, envy, sloth
Lead only to trouble and leave us loath.

Our lives are given to serve You, Lord
The wages of sin we cannot afford
Nothing in this world is worth having
Nor should You have taken a lashing.

The virtuous man stands tall and will gain
The flowers of Faith, Hope, and Love deign
Of justice, fortitude, and temperance feign
When man uses pride over others to reign.

Faith and Grace will keep us from error
From hurtful words and lies and terror
The devil attacks when we least expect
Through someone we might least suspect.

Forgiveness is the key to break the bond
Between the devil and the person spawned
Disparagement and abatement destroy love
Decimate affection from God above.

Jesus, My Love, you know what to do
When there is division and derision too
Send forth Your Spirit to quell the divide
There is nowhere to run – nowhere to hide.

Send Warrior Angels into battle please
To defeat his minions with strength and ease
Dispense to dry places from whence they came
Never return – to cause sorrow and shame.

O Blessed Spring
℗ 2006 Concordia Publishing House

HYMN

O blessed spring, where word and sign
Embrace us into Christ the vine:
Here Christ enjoins each one to be
A branch of this life-giving tree.

Through summer heat of youthful years,
Uncertain faith, rebellious tears,
Sustained by Christ’s infusing rain,
The boughs will shout for joy again.

When autumn cools and youth is cold,
When limbs their heavy harvest hold,
Then through us, warm, the Christ will move
With gifts of beauty, wisdom, love.

As winter comes, as winters must,
We breathe our last, return to dust;
Still held in Christ, our souls take wing
And trust the promise of the spring.

Christ, holy vine, Christ, living tree,
Be praised for this blest mystery:
That word and water thus revive
And join us to your tree of life.

Amen.

Here is the problem for the leftists on the whole alien enemies act. Trump didn’t just pull the act out of his back pocket and slap it down on the table. He has spent the last 2 months setting the legal and political groundwork for its usage as well as the fiscal congressional groundwork to be able to use it.

On Jan 20th, he order the military to seal the border and repel the invasion including: “Continuous assessments of all available options to protect the sovereign territory of the United States from mass unlawful entry and impingement on our national sovereignty and security by foreign nations and transnational criminal organizations.”

On Jan 20th, he also declared a national emergency stating

“America’s sovereignty is under attack. Our southern border is overrun by cartels, criminal gangs, known terrorists, human traffickers, smugglers, unvetted military-age males from foreign adversaries, and illicit narcotics that harm Americans, including America.

This invasion has caused widespread chaos and suffering in our country over the last 4 years.”

He was acting in his commander in chief role here legally.

On Jan 20th, he also issued an EO to all agencies to protect the American people from the invasion. 

He did this as chief executive and chief law enforcement agent. Invoking immigration law.

On Jan 20th, he issued another proclamation that he would defend the states from the invasion.
Citing Scotus precedent
U.S. ex rel. Knauff v. Shaughnessy, 338 U.S. 537, 542 (1950). And also citing article 4 section 4 of us consitution to protect states from invasion.

On Jan 20th, he also issued an order starting the process to name these cartels and gangs as foreign terrorist organizations, which brings a whole other bunch of laws and powers into the fray. 

So, on day 1, President Trump declared an emergency at the border. Labeled it an invasion, evoked article 4 sect 4 for the federal government to defend the states from the invasion, ordered the military to secure the border, and repel the invaders. Labeled who the invaders were, started the process to declare these groups foreign terrorists and ordered all agencies in the executive department to assist in fighting the invasion.

 Short of declaring war, he couldn’t have made a more legal and strong proclamation. He listed the laws and court cases he was following. His powers as CIC, chief executive, and chief law enforcement official.

The process was continued with SOS, formerly declaring these groups foreign terrorists who were invaders into the country and signing an agreement with El Salvador to house these invaders.

The kicker is that with all the federal lawsuits, none of these EOs, proclamations, and actions were enjoined because every action has already been decided by courts.

Fast forward. Now, after Trump secured funding for the process with the CR and all the other chips were laid down, he invoked the Alien Enemies act.

The left legal ground is he can’t use the AEA because we are not at war or being invaded.

BUT
.
Trump has already declared an invasion two months ago, which has never been questioned or enjoined, and has made numerous executive and military actions with his declaration. A declaration never challenged in court because it’s subjective and based on the CIC opinion. It’s a political question, not a judicial question. 

So the left doesn’t have a legal leg to stand on. Trump’s already built the case by his words and actions.

“I’m here to raise the issues the people of Ireland face,” McGregor said while addressing reporters with White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt. “It’ll be music to the people of Ireland’s ears because never on the main stage [have] the issues the people of Ireland face been spoke.”

There are rural towns in Ireland that have been overrun in one swoop,” he said. “That have become a minority in one swoop. So, issues need to be addressed, and the 40 million Irish-Americans, as I said, need to hear this because, if not, there will be no place to come home and visit.” WATCH:

President Trump Calls Biden J6 Pardons Null and Void Following Revelations of Auto Pen Use
March 17, 2025

SD: “President Trump sends a shot across the bow to those who received a preemptive pardon from the administration of Joe Biden, noting the use of an autopen could nullify the issuance.”

.
Via Truth Social – “The “Pardons” that Sleepy Joe Biden gave to the Unselect Committee of Political Thugs, and many others, are hereby declared VOID, VACANT, AND OF NO FURTHER FORCE OR EFFECT, because of the fact that they were done by Autopen. In other words, Joe Biden did not sign them but, more importantly, he did not know anything about them! The necessary Pardoning Documents were not explained to, or approved by, Biden. He knew nothing about them, and the people that did may have committed a crime.

Therefore, those on the Unselect Committee, who destroyed and deleted ALL evidence obtained during their two year Witch Hunt of me, and many other innocent people, should fully understand that they are subject to investigation at the highest level. The fact is, they were probably responsible for the Documents that were signed on their behalf without the knowledge or consent of the Worst President in the History of our Country, Crooked Joe Biden!” (Source)

He is currently vacationing in, of all places, South Africa, where the Human Rights of people has been strenuously questioned. Because of this, South Africa has been taken off our list of Countries receiving Economic and Financial Assistance.
