This SPECIAL CHRISTMAS EVE open thread is VERY OPEN – a place for everybody to post whatever they feel they would like to tell the White Hats, and the rest of the MAGA world.
Say what you want, comment on what other people said, comment on people’s comments. Keep it civil. Treehouse rules, but expect lots of QAnon.
Remember – your greatest gift to President Trump is FIVE WORDS:
I AM PRAYING FOR YOU
Today (Monday, December 24) is the last day of Advent – Christmas Eve.
https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/advent-2018-what-meaning-how-13663762
The 146th day of next year, which shall be celebrated here as Ma Cankles Uranium Day, is:
SUNDAY, MAY 26, 2019
I highly recommend a visit to whitehouse.gov where you can find wonderful historical pages, including a page for that most faithful patriot, George Washington, who risked all on a cold Christmas night to save his fledgling Country. His advice to the nation upon leaving office still rings true.
W
Lord bless Wolf and all those who serve.
🙂
Ha ha ha!
Now THAT deserves a “MERRY CHRISTMAS!” 😀
The good angels always start with “Fear not.”
They say that because you are face down, blinded by the glory given to them by God.
I like that.
And they have swords and huge wings!
Thank you, God bless you, and a VERY Merry Christmas! <3
Wolf, love those five words. Thank you for all you do, and enjoy your time with family and friends.
Hope this works.
Ah! That has me laughing out loud, for sure! Too cute!
I swear, I am that cat! At least I feel just like that!
Merry Christmas Eve.
We love you and your family POTUS Trump. Please enjoy Christmas even if its for a few hours !
Now THAT was GOOD!!! 😀
Oh, my goodness – that is awesome! I am saving that one, definitely – already posted on FB.
Funny. On a q note, symbolism, what is that necklace?
It’s very interesting. Here is a close-up.
What the ??? A vintage fugly virgin blood necklace? lol
WOW! I didn’t know what it was, but you’re right! The vial with metal wings that are basically blades, and the head is just a stopper in the vial. The wings are even slanted so blood runs down the inner edge and drips into the vial.
Were these things actually popular? YIKES!
I see a lot of “blood vial necklaces” as “vampire chic”, but they’re usually clear so people can see the fake blood ruby red liquid. This thing looks almost functional.
I get it! It’s Halloween. THAT explains why she’s wearing this creepy thing. The sweater is Halloween themed, too.
sweater is Christmas theme?… see Santa Claus, with a sword in his raised hand?
I think Santa is hanging off a ribbon, but it does look like a whip in his other hand. Yikes!
That sounds just–vial. Evil. Sickening.
So this is where all the cool people went! Actually I’ve been eyeing a branch here (lurking) for some time now…and why not, all of my favorite banned, naughty posters are here! I just wanted to pop in and wish you all a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Keep up the good work, Wolfmoon, I like what you’ve done with the place. That other joint…well, what can I say? It’s been drained of any joy, humor and goodwill that was so prevalent for so long and had attracted me there since late 2014 early 2015. Now that any and all talk of Q has been banned I do find it quite amusing that they still talk about Q so much. I don’t know what happened in the background there to cause such drastic change but it has now become such a black hole of negativity that I don’t dare post there. Oh, well, such is the internet. Easy come, easy go.
Merry Christmas to you, too! 😀
Good to see you. Yeah, we like it here. Make yourself at home!
Hi Harry! Always enjoyed your posts at CTH.
Hi Harry, come on in. This is the tree where we like each other and have fun talking about whatever. Enjoy.
Welcome, Harry!
Nice to see you here.
And Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Welcome to Joy Humor and Goodwill Harry!!! I remember you!!! This Q tree is the LAST Last Refuge!! Merry Christmas!
Glad to see you here on the banned wagon! Merry Christmas!
How do mr lime. Please enjoy a branch and some cocoa. 😊

Oh my goodness!! That looks amazing! Can I have one?? 🙂
Never seen an amaretto cocoa…yummy.
Hi Harry – happy to see you here 😊. Merry Christmas 🎄🎄
Welcome! Great to see you here.
Merry Christmas!
Hi Harry! Merry Christmas!
Welcome to the Q Tree, where we’re getting the banned back together!
Grab a branch. Here’s some eggnog.
Wolfie and All the peeps here on this most blessed site! It’s Christmas Eve..My most favorite day of EVERY year for my 58 years! It’s THE DAY before OUR SAVIOR ARRIVES. Anticipation -Magical- HOLY!

58 years and still smokin’ hot! (Of course I say that about all adorable deplorables. Because, of course, it’s true.)
Have a Merry Christmas yourself, and if you find coal in your stocking…it’s American coal and therefore a gift.
Merry Christmas Steve!! Love my gift of coal!
No greater love but to lay down their lives …

Merry Christmas, sunnydaysall!!
Christmas Eve was always such a beautiful time for my family. We had a special dinner, opened gifts, and just enjoyed our tree and decorations and Christmas music and each other. Christmas Day always included extended family and friends for dinner, sort of like another Thanksgiving except with Christmas movies.
Almost all of them are gone, now, and I miss them terribly. But what a blessing to have had that experience every year for so many years and to love and be loved by all of them! Those memories will be a joy forever. My world is much smaller and quieter now, but I am grateful for those who remain that I get to be with this Christmas.
While my holiday will be super low key compared to days gone by, there are certain special traditions to enjoy and honor. I’ll be running around doing last minute errands and chores but I’ll try to check in here and there because what if I missed something?????
I just wanted to wish all of you a Merry Christmas and thank you for your understanding, thought-provoking posts, support, and laughter. This is such a great group. Love you all and enjoy yourselves!
Aww…Thank you, sweet Sylvia.
We love you back!
A Very Merry Christmas to you, too!
Glad to hear that you’ll be having some family around you during the Holiday.
Sorry to hear that you’ve lost so many.
{{{Hugs}}}
Have a wonderful Christmas, Wheatie! I was so glad to find you here when I landed here after the Purge. Hugs to you, too.
Love to you, too, and a Merry Christmas! <3
Thanks, Wolfie!
Merry Christmas, Sylvia 🙂
You too, Scott!
Merry Christmas Sylvia – hopefully your shovel is not required during this Christmas!!
Your posts are a key part of making this site the no.1 venue on the web …
LOL, thanks Jason and Merry Christmas to you, too.
Did you hear that, Wolfie? We’re the number one venue on the web!!!!
I dunno, having real occasion for that shovel would be a great Christmas present.
Merry Christmas, Sylvia!!
Thanks Churchmouse! Happy Christmas to you! (Did I get that right? 🙂 )
Indeed you did, Sylvia!
Many thanks for your good wishes! 🙂
So sorry about the people you miss.
Thank you, NYGuy. Merry Christmas!
you too Syl
Merry Christmas Sylvia!!
Thanks Pat, you too!!
Hey Sylvia!! Merry Christmas!! If I find something of interest–I will post–But know this…Everytime I shovel food into my mouth today.. I will think of you! hehe..;)
what an excellent idea…every time I shovel food into my mouth too, I will say, “To Sylvia & her shovel!” lol
and Pat! When someone “pats” me on the back CHEERS TO YOU!! Merry Christmas!!!
LOL Cheers!
LOL! Have the bestest of times, Marica!
You and your shovel have a great Christmas Sylvia!

A Christmas shovel! There’s a decoration every home should have! Oh, that is grand. I’m going to have to get one of those! Merry Christmas, Gil!
Merry Christmas!
Glad you will have some people for Christmas. So sorry that you have lost others. But I believe they are near in spirit always.
Glad you are with us here.
Thank you, and I hope you have a wonderful Christmas!
Merry Christmas Sylvia! Thank you for sharing your time and energy with all of us through the this amazing journey! What a ride!
I hope you have a wonderful Christmas, too!
Merry Christmas to may favorite shovel wielding avenger!
Thanks Steve, Merry Christmas to you!
Merry Christmas to some of the smartest, tuned-in, curious, analytical, humorous, generous Patriots I am grateful to call my buddies.
May Our Lord continue to shine light on the darkness, and may we continue to stay vigilant in our commitment to #MAGA. Thenk you, Lord, for your amazing gift of Salvation and Eternal Life through Jesus Christ.
Amen
Thanks, Alison!
Merry Christmas to you too!
Lovely, Wheatie 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄 Let it snow; let it snow; let it snow
Merry Christmas, Alison! I’m so glad to share this tree with you.
Right back at ya, Sylvia. I hope you get a gold-encrusted shovel for Christmas, courtesy of President Trump 😍😍😍
LOL, heck I’d be thrilled to get one of their Christmas cards!
AMEN! Merry Christmas, Alison, and THANK YOU for your presence! 😀
Merry Merry!
http://childoflight.nl/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/68.jpg
well said Allison, Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to you Alison! Thank you too for bringing important insight to the QT branches – what a great group of people to be sharing the day with! God bless!
Merry Christmas, to (I think) the nearest Q-Treeper to me!
Well, this is disquieting. California moved their primary election up to March 3, 2020. This means the fruits and nuts and illegal alien voters of cloud cuckoo land (sorry California friends, we know you are out there just outnumbered) will be sucking up the time, attention, and money of candidates. Forget the flyover folk of Iowa and the Live Free or Die people of New Hampshire. California is now going to be ENORMOUSLY influential in selecting the Presidential candidates. Ugh.
FTA:
“The idea that millions of absentee and mail-in votes could be cast in advance of California’s actual primary election day — and the prospect that presidential candidates might bypass the early states entirely to concentrate on target-rich California — is finally beginning to sink in.”
https://www.politico.com/story/2018/12/23/2020-elections-democratic-primaries-california-new-hampshire-1073438
It will be interesting to see what happens to this later.
Disquieting…yes, very disquieting.
That sucks so much that even leftist Politico seems to be lamenting it.
IKR? That CANNOT be good.
Is this what E. Holder has been up to in the Golden State?
I don’t know.
But I do know if something foul has occurred and Eric Holder is in the vicinity there is likely a connection. He is a nasty piece of work.
Oh yeah…I’ll bet you’re right.
That’s why they are paying him the big bucks.
Socialism is a disease.
like an STD–after you’re screwed, it’s too late
And like many diseases, it’s “progressive.”
HA–that’s a good one!
Unfortunately for the candidates it will take California until the convention to count the votes. By then they will know who the front runner is and can push that one over the top or throttle him or her if they don’t like the people’s choice..
Every leader in CA is corrupt to the core, bc they are all dems. Some Rs but so many are outnumbered. Its never been clear what consulting for the AG holder has done. The continual counting of ballots is so obviously fraud too. Im not sure h5iw much worse it will get.
Q has repeatedly said watch California. I hoped it would mean something good is going to happen. Nothing has visibly, yet.
“They can sense it. They can feel it. Something is seriously wrong in our civilization, and many people know it. This is why despite the relatively good economic times, most Americans polled say our country is on the “wrong track.” Yet many are like a gravely ill man who knows he’s not well but can’t precisely identify his ailment. Most often, Americans have only a vague sense of cultural malaise, or they “self-diagnose” wrongly…
Yet moral relativism/nihilism has swept Western civilization. And hell has followed with it.
How relativistic/nihilistic are we? A Barna Group study found that in 2002 already, most Americans did not believe in (absolute) Truth, in morality; in fact, only six percent of teens did. Thus are they most likely to base what once were called “moral decisions” on … wait for it … feelings. Surprise, surprise.
Such prevailing philosophical/moral rot collapses civilization. For anything can be justified. Rape, kill, steal, violate the Constitution as a judge, commit vote fraud? Why not? Who’s to say it’s wrong? Don’t impose values on me, dude….”
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2018/12/restoring_civilization.html
Good perspective (recorded back in November). Remember the warning. Don’t touch the one God has anointed. It won’t go well for those who do.
https://youtu.be/UosUvqtZ_zM
Good stuff!
Remember……. We are not “called” to be “Moral”…..
As that is a Human terminology.
WE are “called” to be HOLY…
As that is a GODLY term.
“Morality changes over time according to the will of Man…..
“Holiness” NEVER changes…… as it is an attribute of GOD than does NOT change.
Now THAT hits the nail squarely on the head!
Not sure if anyone posted this before or not, but it’s from Stealth Jeff / Brian Cates, and it relates directly to SD’s doom-and-gloom post about Huber/Horowitz yesterday.
It’s EXACTLY what SD is doing, which leads me to believe that either SD isn’t even part of CTH anymore, or SD is running a disinformation campaign to benefit somebody.
Here is an excerpt of two Tweets, followed by a link:

I saw the news about Flynn’s DIA op coming. I wrote my column on Wednesday 2 days before Solomon did his radio interview with Gregg Jarrett on the Hannity show.
How come Last Refuge, Toensing, DiGenova, all these others saying ‘nothing’s happening’ don’t see it coming?

Every time there’s movement, every time the curtain gets pulled back and you’re shown something, you gotta understand:
Some people out there are highly INVESTED in a narrative NOTHING’S HAPPENING.
Their SOURCES say nothing’s happening so by God NOTHING’S HAPPENING.
…………………..
It’s like he’s writing about SD specifically:
………………………………..
Brian Cates
@drawandstrike
13h13 hours ago
“Oh wow, we just found Flynn was on a clandestine mission for the DIA when…”
“STOP. ABORT THAT THOUGHT. LOOK OVER HERE! OMG, HUBER AND HOROWITZ….THEY ARE *DEEP STATE* PEOPLE! IT’S ALL OVER! WE’RE ALL DOOMED!”
………………………………..
Did SD even comment on Flynn running a DIA mission during the time that Mueller claimed he was working with Muh Russia?
Or did SD go straight to ‘Look, Squirrel!’ without even passing ‘Go’?
Sundance has a very “LE” and financial view of the world. He does NOT have a complete IC, .mil, SCI view of things.
I’m optimistic. And I’m putting $82 down (today’s lucky number) on Trump winning BIGLY.
I don’t recall anything about Flynn’s DIA mission.
nope me either…not a word…he went directly to squirrel
I think you’re right. Hmm…one more mystery.
What is this DIA operation Flynn was supposedly running? I seemed to have missed that entirely….
This is what I found originally:
It must have been reported elsewhere (including The Hill, Solomon’s media outlet), but there is so much information / evidence incriminating so many people that finding a specific piece of information is like trying to identify and isolate a specific drop of water from Niagara Falls…
Boy, that’s the truth. I may have heard about this DIA op in passing and just don’t remember it because so much has come out. So much, so fast. It is like a fire hose gushing away.
John Solomon found some evidence that Flynn was running an operation in the lead up to 2016, and there is apparently an exculpatory document to prove it.
I am speculating that the DIA operation Flynn was running was a setup to allow him to get in position to influence/change/control something. This would be a part, I think, of the ‘Q’ plan. The generals were preparing the road for Trump, and this was part of it, somehow. From Brian Cates, it looks like Flynn’s company was set up in 2014, made some contacts, and closed up shop in 2016 without ever doing much. Sure seems like it was a shell for some kind of op. If Flynn were to let his role get out, I suspect that whatever he accomplished would fall apart. So he has to play along as though he was actually guilty.
Whatever the exculpatory document Solomon knows about, it outlines or hints at whatever Flynn was actually doing.
Merry Christmas, Wolfie!
Thank you for creating this hangout for us and for being such a gracious host!

Merry Christmas to all of my fellow Q-Treepers!
Wishing everyone a very cozy and happy Christmas.

Merry Christmas, Wheatie! 😀
Thanks for being here and making this place great! And I mean it!!!
I love cardinals. They are so spectacular! My DH and I went to the midwest to have Thanksgiving with some of his family one year and it had snowed and those beautiful cardinals were just stunningly beautiful against the fresh white snow. I”ll never forget it.
I love cardinals too!
Hubby is fascinated by them…apparently there are no cardinals where he grew up in Canada.
We have feeders out and always try to make sure there is plenty of food in them, for the cardinals to feed on right before sundown.
Sometimes at dust…there around 50 or more out there.
We even have a couple of albino cardinals that show up.
We don’t have them here, either, and they are just so gorgeous. Albino? Wow, that’s cool!
Yep, albino.
Apparently they aren’t all that rare, since there are a lot of photos of them online.
One of them is very pale, like this:
.
The other one looks more like this:
.
We only see them on overcast days, or at dusk/dawn.
The bright sunlight must be hard on their eyes.
The one with the pink accents is interesting looking.
Yes it is.
I’m thinking that’s a female, since there is an all red male that shows up with her…and acts very protective of her.
Ah, that’s so sweet!
wow, thanks for sharing–I’ve never seen one before!
Cardinals are monogamous.
My wife and I saw a cardinal in our snow covered front yard the first year we were married. (Just beautiful, like Wheatie’s card above.)
We looked up the “meaning” of cardinals, and immediately decided our sighting was a blessing on our marriage.
Merry Christmas to all!
That is SO romantic! What a sweet memory. I’d be blubbering like a baby every time I saw a cardinal. Thanks for sharing that little bit of beauty with us.
Merry Christmas to you, too!
i’ve seen memes about cardinals being around whenever angels are near…
Merry Christmas to you as well Wheatie – hope its a great one!!
Thank you, Jason!
And a Very Merry Christmas to you too!!
Merry Christmas, wheatie!!
Thank you, Churchmouse!
I hope you have a Very Merry Christmas too!!
Thank you very much, wheatie!
Merry Christmas to you wheatietoo!
Thanks, Pat!
A Very Merry Christmas to you too!
Merry Christmas Wheatie!! Thank you for your warm welcome and your inspiring words here at this special Q TREE! Hugs!
Wheatie, I love this!!!! Dad used to feed the cardinals in Michigan, and I miss seeing them (they don’t reside in Colorado).
Last year Hubby and I had a pair visit us every morning & afternoon at our feeder in rented AZ house. We planned our golf outings around feeding times 😊
Thanks for the memories.
You’re very welcome, Alison.
Cardinals are such wonderful little birds.
Shy and well-behaved…they eat a little at the feeders, then quickly leave to let another take their place.
I’m surprised to hear they are not in Colorado.
We have bluebirds, meadowlarks…but nothing bright red.
A couple of excerpts about Meng Wanzhou’s arrest and why China has lost it’s mind over it.
https://nypost.com/2018/12/22/how-arrest-of-chinese-princess-exposes-regimes-world-domination-plot/
“Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou’s arrest in Vancouver on Dec. 6 led to immediate blowback.
Furious Chinese Communists have begun arresting innocent Canadians in retaliation. So far, three of these “revenge hostages” have been taken and are being held in secret jails on vague charges. Beijing hints that the hostage count may grow if Meng is not freed and fast.
Even for a thuggish regime like China’s, this kind of action is almost unprecedented.
So who is Meng Wanzhou?…..
…It turns out that “Princess” Meng, as she is called, is Communist royalty. Her grandfather was a close comrade of Chairman Mao during the Chinese Civil War, who went on to become vice governor of China’s largest province.
She is also the daughter of Huawei’s Founder and Chairman, Ren Zhengfei. Daddy is grooming her to succeed him when he retires.
In other words, Meng is the heiress apparent of China’s largest and most advanced hi-tech company, and one which plays a key role in China’s grand strategy of global domination.
Huawei is a leader in 5G technology and, earlier this year, surpassed Apple to become the second largest smartphone maker in the world behind Samsung.
But Huawei is much more than an innocent manufacturer of smartphones.
It is a spy agency of the Chinese Communist Party….”
Yup. This is a big deal.
I would let her go and cut off all trade with China for 5 years, but that’s just me.
I’m a hard ass. 😉
How about we *not* let her go…and cut off all trade with China for 5 years.
Hah.
It really pisses me off that we’re helping to fund their space program.
At the very least, China should lose it’s ‘developing nation’ designation.
Seriously…
You can’t have a space program…and still be a ‘developing nation’!
Yeah, the whole thing was a SCAM to take down America. And our traitors just let it happen. No, worse. They HELPED the enemy and TOOK A CUT.
I agree with Q – these people should be dodging thrown shoes when they walk down the street!
Or dodging pitchforks and bricks!
Shovels…..dodging Sylvia and her shovel….
We’re overdue:
“Furious Chinese Communists have begun arresting innocent Canadians in retaliation. So far, three of these “revenge hostages” have been taken and are being held in secret jails on vague charges. Beijing hints that the hostage count may grow if Meng is not freed and fast.”
_____________________
And the answer that nobody ever thinks to try is EXPOSING the bad guys for all the world to see, just like we did during the Cuban Missile Crisis.
Giant color glossy photographs with circles and arrows and a paragraph on the back of each one.
Go before the U.N. and lay out the case against this Chinese spy and everything China has been doing.
Then show that China, in ‘retaliation’, is kidnapping innocent Canadians, for which China is to be put on trial, and when found guilty, the entire world will enforce sanctions, and China can trade with itself for about 6 months before it collapses totally.
Screw these people, all of them.
When the TRUTH is on your side — and that’s the side you BETTER be on always — then shine it like a LIGHTHOUSE on the cockroaches of the world.
If WE had one-millionth of the Chutzpah that the Left has without even thinking about it, we would shame China and every other rogue nation into oblivion in the same way the Left ‘shames’ everybody with whom they disagree.
But nobody on ‘our side’ ever wants to actually DO what we COULD do.
We always PUNT.
Even though we’ve been in 4-down territory for at least the last 50 years.
The FBI had a HUGE thread on Twitter about massive ChiCom busts all over America. Gotta go read that sucker. I’ve been so busy I missed it. A few days ago. MASSIVE busts. We could cut off trade with them, frankly. They have to declare these guys out of compliance on intellectual property theft!

Gosh, I like your idea. A lot.
Panic in D.C.
THAT’S RIGHT! WHO IS GOING TO KEEP THIS MADMAN FROM DECLARING PEACE?!!!
Haaa. 😆
Oh noes! He must be stopped!
He is ending all our little wars!
LOL!
Seriously, he’s taking away all the commie “fundamental change” toys! No border!
No Antifa! No Syria! They’re doing the Mr. Bill gingerbread man imitation.
“NOOOOOOOOOO!”
I’m laughing because it is true. America has gone mad.
Yes, I saw that. The author of the article for ‘Army Times’ should be demoted and booted out of the military.
Either he/she is grotesquely uneducated with regard to the role of the military and hierarchy of command, or he/she is a Deep State embed running interference & propaganda (sedition) INSIDE the military.
Why is this dirtbag not confined to a cell somewhere, awaiting charges?
Yes. Thank you, Scott!
That was my thought too…uh, a “check” on our President’s military power?
Since when is that the job of the SecDef?!!
This person should be in the brig!
The author of that article is Tara Copp the Pentagon Bureau Chief for Military Times and as far as I can tell she was never military. Looks like Tara made her way to the top by writing about Grandpa’s war experiences and winning journalist awards. She obviously at one time was in Iraq as a journalist but with the protection of troops. So that must make her an expert…spit. Another propagandist speaking for the military. This is just another reason why so many great soldiers and Marines have left our military en masse.
I agree with the commenters on that thread that ask why wasn’t everyone’s hair on fire when Obama fired him–and all the other top military at one time???
Get yours today! 😉

Of course the ONLY reverse it could be–the presidential seal!
Here’s an interesting tale of FAKE NEWS with the added twist that it is from a popular respected German “journalist” for a German lefty paper so they have all been so pleased with the image it has created for them of ‘Merica, the flyover country. Except it is fake. If you haven’t followed this story, well, it is by turns amusing and infuriating. Our Ambassador to Germany, Rick Grennell, has launched a few tweets about this as well (Go, Rick!)
“The case of Claas Relotius, Der Spiegel and the town of Fergus Falls, Minnesota has become notorious. Der Spiegel, Europe’s most widely-read news source, fired Relotius, one of Germany’s most honored journalists, when it came to light that he had made up facts in a number of articles he wrote for the magazine. The Fergus Falls fiction was exposed by two residents of that town, who wrote an article in Medium listing the “top 11 most absurd lies” in Relotius’s piece, which was titled “Where They Pray For Trump on Sundays” and was intended to enlighten Europeans about America’s bizarre Trump voters…”

I’m with him! When I see those over-the-top displays my inner Grinch comes out and all I can think about is the setting up…the taking down…the storage. I have to force myself to appreciate the show.
Maybe he does it for charity.
Nice little video:
https://twitter.com/FlipItRed/status/1077049386306138112
Great video!!
awesome I loved it. So many memories already.
Definitely more satisfying than the official video of that song.
At 6:38 AM Eastern on F & F they are discussing the Chaos Narrative, and had a series of clips showing various communists broadcasting the Narrative.
Wow, The Narrative is so phony and so scripted, they just do not care. It’s their Narrative, and they are sticking with it.
As I watched, a bolt of fear went through me. Wolfmoon’s analysis is correct. This desperate absurdity of a Narrative is a cover for action, not a mere political ploy.
At 7:11 AM the chaos issue is again being shown on F & F, and Chris Christie is ENDORSING the Narrative with the spin that chaos is what Trump supporters want. Wow, what a despicable person.
Wow, Tona…they actually said “Chaos Narrative”?
That’s kind of cool.
I had to turn it on just now to see if Pete Hegseth was on this morning, because I could see him talking about it.
But no…he isn’t one of the F&F crew this morning.
Griff Jenkins is on though, and he’s pretty good.
I can see him talking about it.
I think “narrative” is just my description, although it may have been mentioned.
The second segment at 7:11 was worse because chaos was treated as a given.
Even Leon Panetta joined the chorus of “muh, Chaos”.
Of course, it is THEY who are feeling the chaos, not we!
Merry Christmas, Tona, to you and yours!
TY so much! And Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Yes, THEY are the ones in chaos!
Tona – you know – I just figured this out yesterday. I think that the VSG is “Sun Tzu-ing” on the chaos narrative. He knows – he knows the downside – he has protected the downside – and now he’s gone pedal-to-the-medal Sun Tzu on it.
Stand back and be in awe! Watch and see if I’m right on this. But what you say sounds like it. 😎
Wolfmoon, I take ALL of your insights very seriously! They are extraordinary.
Q says “expand your thinking,” and you not only actually do, but also are one of the few who actually can. Every person has a gift. Insight and wider thinking is yours.
I knew this from the Classic Post you made way back when. I think I was the first person to reply to your post, before Sundance promoted it to an article, and I said: “This may be the best post ever.”
And it continues.
I laughed at your “No comment” from yesterday, because I had already realized the nature of what was behind the “No comment” long ago. And what MAY have been behind the post which elicited the “No comment” (MAY, but probably not, but maybe) was an attempt to have you self-dox, a clumsy provocation from which you were protected by your insight and character.
About VSG as STz, especially regarding chaos, yes.
I sometimes think about bitter divorces as the occasion arises, when people are in a panic, feeling cornered and agitated daily, the deepest anger and questioning about life, a hyper-acute sense of “fairness” and who was right and who was wrong. Hysterical hatred.
What do these people do? Well, look at the left, and that is what they are doing. Chief among these things is the construction of a Narrative, told to all and sundry, every possible minute of every day, about the other person. The other person is a liar and a beast. The other person is guilty of crime and weird psychological derangement. The other person is not fit to live among decent people.
A lot of this behavior is totally rational and strategic, anticipating what the other person will do and placing it in a negative context. But it is also simultaneously genuinely felt and thought. It answers the daily questions: what is happening to me, and what will happen to me, questions enhanced by the acute fear of personal exposure by the other person, who after all knows certain details intimately.
Here are two thoughts about VSG. It is impossible for me to believe – – impossible – – that he would let US down. He knows and understands.
And, all’s well that ends well. VSG knows that, too.
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas EmeraldStar! You are our Christmas Star!! Bright and Steady and shining that Light inot darkness!!
TY Marica –
Merry Christmas to you as well!
Your optimism is infectious, in the BEST way!
Holly Jolly!
Chaos? What chaos? I don’t know about the rest of these idiots but I’m loving this CHAOTIC train ride and I am NOT about ready to get off!!!
VSG is a VSG! Enjoy the ride!!!
Merry Christmas, everyone!
God Bless, W – we appreciate what you’ve done here more than you’ll ever know.

Someone started a GoFundMe account to “buy ladders” to use in breaching the wall?
Uh…wouldn’t that be soliciting money to break the law?
You’d think so, but, these days, who knows?
Nah…..don’t you know? The law is relative, as is morality.
Subsection (d), written in invisible ink in the margins, exempts social justice warriors.
President Wolf Moon will not have this problem in 2025.
Every illegal immigrant into the United States will be matched by one soldier-colonist to be sent to their country of origin to establish a nuclear-armed beachhead colony – future competitors of Hong Kong. Every time 1000 more gimmegrants comes in, we deploy a battalion of 1000 heavily armed colonists, creating new American city-states all over the world, armed with the latest weaponry and a single nuke so they cannot be evicted.
Pretty soon, countries will throw their gimmegrants into jail before they even leave. They will not want the American super-colonists, arriving by the tens of thousands under massive air support.
I think right now we own Honduras. At several million American colonial troops, they’re not getting out of this one. 2025 will see our first complete colonization in Central America.
But i’m waiting for 2024 to run. I’m giving our President Trump 6 more years to solve this stuff. 😉
The Democrats don’t want to see the alternative to Trump. They REALLY don’t want to see that future.
Come on, globalists. Put the immigration gun down and nobody gets hurt. 😎
Wolf, where can we all sign up to work on your campaign? Lol, can’t stop smiling.
Haaaa! I love it!
That would work, too!
Colonialism works like crazy! Globo-nazis better take heed. Wolf Moon ain’t the only person who sees this.
FAIRNESS. We have to be FAIR. Even if it means going back 500 years in international relations. 😉
OR they can put down the immigration gun.
Personally, I think neocolonialism could be very exciting and would make arresting globalists a lot easier!
Merry Christmas to all!
Praying for everyone, enjoy your time with family and friends this Christmas!
Looking like next year is going to be a great time here.
Merry Christmas Brave and Free!
Merry Christmas everybody!
Thanks so much to all, and especially to Wolfmoon – this site is a bastion of free speech, where we all can say what we mean and mean what we say. It’s a wonderful island of sanity, in an ocean of cray-cray!
I’m thankful also for the tremendous posters, who give freely of their time and thought, bringing so many important perspectives and experiences for each of us to learn from, and to grow wiser.
Such a blessing!
Cheers!
Merry Christmas Emeraldstar! enjoy your holiday!
Thanks Pat! You too!
False:
IKR? he cannot speak without lying…smh
I know! It’s frustrating to watch him portray himself as being so upright!
Saw some idiot dem on Fox earlier saying the same thing and the talking head just sits there and nods!!!! While I am yelling “LIAR” at the TV!!! SMH
He also claimed it included Border Patrol!!!!
Me, too.
I saw a CNN banner somewhere this morning saying the same doggone thing.
Rand Paul asks if the people who live in/near Syria cannot do anything. Agree!
Greg Gutfeld slams the media for their fear mongering and hysteria.
“I’ve heard that people have a hard time working at MSNBC and CNN…due to the smell of burning hair.”
Greg heaps praise on Pres Trump for all that he’s done, though.
Where I agree with Donald Rumsfeld (never expected that):
From that wild and wonderful Rand Paul thread yesterday. Someone at CTH picked up on the following.
Did anyone know this?
PDJT picked up on the thread:
Merry Christmas to all and a MAGA New Year !
Just a quick stop by since I will be imposing a self-ban until after 1/3/19.
Many family get together(s) involving travel since last Friday as well as dealing with the passing of our very special
‘baby’; Rosemary, our beautiful apricot pug of 12 years; very sudden and unexpected.
She has joined her ‘sister’ Betty at the Rainbow Bridge.
Hope her pic turns out OK !
Wolf – If pic is too much please delete. Sorry in advance.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, Steve!
(Commiserations on your pug. Am sure you and your family will miss her. What a cutie she was.)
So sorry for your loss Steve!! She was adorable!
and Merry Christmas to you and yours!!
Merry Christmas Steve! I heard you found us!! So sorry bought your fur baby…
FYI! I find it interesting to see former Treepers with Battered Conservative Treehouse Syndrome. 😉 Wolfie is THE most gracious host! He never batters, bans or even raises an eyebrow!–You can even drop an F-Bomb and not get in trouble here!! LOL! And fellow Q treepers are just as welcoming!! WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME!
Im sorry about your pup. You have a great Christmas! Your little girl is doing everything she used to do and then some, and happily!
Merry Christmas.
So sorry for your loss.
Losing a beloved pet can be devastating, especially around the holidays. I lost my best buddy cat last year on the day before Thanksgiving.
(((Hugs)))
😢😢 As the mom of 4 dogs I feel your sadness.

If anyone asks at Christmas dinner:
Hah! I love it.
That’s what I’ve been saying too!
The Market has been going down since the Dems won the House.
It can’t be said enough.
Correct.
We’ll all have plenty of opportunities within the next several days to try and get this point through to others.
Years ago, I was up in my Mother-in-Law’s attic, rummaging around for extra old books. We finished a rehab of another bedroom at the B&B and I was trying to fill in an old bookcase – with books. My deceased father-in-law was a former printer, and collected fabulous first editions all his life. I was looking to ‘borrow’ a few.
I always wondered about my father-in-law. He died before I came along but everyone in town smiled wistfully when they spoke of him. Good guy.
It was the rest of the family that was hard, cold, petty, and angry all the time. Time after time I tried to reach out to members of the family, poking their bristly exterior. Nothing worked. Why so mean?
The low eaves of the attic forced me to sit on an old trunk while I browsed old photo albums, broken toys, a spectacular but Avocado Green/Harvest Gold afghan, and Christmas decorations. Suddenly the trunk I was sitting on gave way, bringing me out of my haze. I opened the trunk to find the family bible which went back to 1600’s Germany, old marriage and baptism certificates, photos from generations, and a pile of letters carefully wrapped in a blue ribbon. The letters proved to be the greatest family treasure of all.
Pulling the blue ribbon on the letters was like stepping into a time machine. The letters were one soldier’s story of events throughout World War 2. These were the letters my father-in-law wrote to my mother-in-law before they were married. He went into Omaha beach and fought all the way to the end. The letters were lightweight, fragile, vague but incredibly vivid. In one letter, he wrote two pages almost entirely about a single tree, ablaze with fall color. I couldn’t believe what I was reading, so rich, so pure, so personal.
Then,
I found a letter, dated December 24, 1944, 74 years ago, today.
It was the midst of the Battle of the Bulge, Christmas Eve, and he was writing a letter to his sweetheart. He wrote of her family kitchen, the smells, her crazy aunt Dot, the food they must be making, the snow in Wisconsin – without a single word of how cold and miserable it was for him and his men.
By then, I was tearing up, wiping my nose on that ugly afghan. We all know the history. I reached for my coffee but it was empty. I must have been up there for hours.
Continuing and unable to stop reading, I unfolded the bottom third of the letter, and a small advertisement clipping fell out. Jagged edges meant it was obviously torn from a magazine. It was a drawing of a woman in a sheer lace-trimmed but tasteful black negligee. I grinned and thought…., after all, he was a man.
The bottom third of the letter was his proposal of marriage to her. In beautiful penmanship, it was touching and heartfelt, he encouraged her to join him, build a family, and take a chance on him…., even though, he thought, she deserved better. He wrote about the profile of her neck and her warm touch. The negligee was intended for the wedding night.
By the end of the letter, tears were streaming down my face. There wouldn’t have been a single woman in the world who could have refused the love of such a man.
And as we can all imagine, he woke up in the morning and went back to the war…., dreaming of her, yet uncertain of his own future.
In secret, I had the December 24th, 1944 letter, along with the magazine clipping, preserved and framed by a real art historian. We traveled that year to Wisconsin for Christmas and had a large, extended family dinner on Christmas Eve. The timing was perfect. I wrapped the letter/frame and gave it to my hard-hearted sister-in-law before the big family dinner. It forced my sister-in-law to read the letter aloud. She barely got through it. We all cried – not a dry eye. The emotion poured and cracked the crusty exterior. It’s never too late to love, be humbled, and feel the spirit of gratefulness at Christmastime. We now read the letter every Christmas Eve.
To all those who served and are/were away from home during Christmas, know that you are loved. To all those who did not come home, know that we still honor your memory.
God Bless and Merry Christmas!
What a marvellous Christmas story, daughn!
Best wishes for a very happy Christmas!
k, I didn’t read the letter, yet tears are streaming from my eyes…what a wonderful and thoughtful gift.
Merry Christmas daughnworks247!
Like many others, I don’t ever really remember what presents I receive. I do remember the ones I give. THAT was the best one.
That’s interesting, Daughn – I’m the opposite!
I remember what others give to me, and tend to forget what I do for others.
You’ve written some amazing posts! Always a pleasure to read …
Merry Christmas to you, and to your family!
Um, maybe it’s just me but…..might you want to re-word that a bit? I can’t imagine you meant it to come out that way…..”forget what I do for others?” My apologies if I am being too thin-skinned again but I just don’t feel Daughn deserves a statement like that…
Filly, I’ve had numerous sociopaths in my family, who remember every single thing that they’ve done for others, and then USE THAT against those whom they’ve helped. They also forget, conveniently, what others have done for them.
They also remember every slight against them, real or fancied. It’s called “grievance collecting”, and it’s a part of a pathological personality disorder. It’s the flip side to “benefit collecting”, which I described in the first paragraph.
To summarize, they remember everything they’ve ever done for another, to the detriment of that “another”, and forget everything that’s ever been done for them – again, to the detriment of that “another”.
It’s abnormal psychology, Filly. I understand your point, though. Who wouldn’t remember fondly such a gift given, and such a benefit to all of such a deed?
But, no, I don’t wish to rephrase. Once I give, it’s done, and I let it go. I didn’t mean my comment as a “dis” (and I hope Daughn understands!), but merely as a different perspective.
Ahhh – let’s forget contention! I’m very thankful for your posts, and perspectives, and I hope that you (and yours) have a wonderful Christmas!
I’m glad you’re here!
Yeah, I apologize for attributing something negative. I am just so very cynical these days and I need to try to be less reactive. I am very thankful for you as well and your posts – highly educational, well thought-out and easy to read. I hope you also have a wonderful Christmas!!
What a great story, Daughn!
Thank you for taking the time to tell us about it.
What a wonderful gift you gave to your In Laws.
I’m glad they appreciate it.
Hope you have a wonderful Christmas.
Merry Christmas to you and yours!
All the best to your family Wheatie!
What a beautiful story, and beautifully written. That was so touching. Thanks for giving us the gift of sharing that experience with you.
Luv ya’, Sylvia. Big hugs and a Merry Christmas to you!
Merry Christmas, daughnworks!

Wow! Well, it’s not “a brand new car!” like the game shows used to offer, but the clapping hands thingie is pretty darned cool!
What a beautiful family treasure, all because you brought his love back into the family. Bless you, Daughn 💖
Dang it. My eyes are leaking.
Merry Christmas to you and your family. I hope you have a tranquil happy day.
What a great story. I happen to be in WI for Christmas, and stopped for a short break at a wayside along I-94. There is a sign there that states 80% of the eligible adult male population served in WWII in some capacity. And some portion of the remaining 20% did not serve because of the need for their expertise in manufacturing war materiel.
Merry Christmas to all my fellow Treepers here. And God Bless Wolfie for creating this oasis for us.
Merry Christmas, A Fortiori!
And yes, you’re right, too – this site is a blessing.
Let me take a moment to express my thanks, to you, for your perspectives. You often post something which seems against the grain, but it is even more valuable for being so. I’ve found that you’ve been right, often enough, for me to highlight it.
After I posted my rebuttal to you, in re the 8-chans “style” (a euphemism!), and subsequently, understanding that you pay a LOT of attention to what is said there … I regretted my tone, in my reply to you. You remember that post of mine, yes?
It’s the “shills” that post (almost) all the nasty stuff – and it’s been getting worse. I feel like I over-reacted somewhat, in defense of that site. I’ll take whatever the site gives me, though, no matter what is posted … but I also dislike the egregious “explicity”. It’s a cost I wish we needn’t have to pay.
May you and yours have a blessed Holiday, and please – keep on posting as you wish! It’s one of the qualities which makes this site so valuable.
Cheers!
Merry Christmas, A Fortiori. Love to you and family!!
Sorry if this has been posted already. She is just an awesome woman. Equally comfortable celebrating Haunkkah and Christmas. We are so lucky to have her as First Lady.
How SAD:

Man, the nasty comments…..they never end and just get worse and worse!!!!
He must be over the target.
I could not believe what I was reading.
Imagine. This man’s only fault is that he is not a Democrat. The fact that he is not a Democrat opens him up to all sorts of slurs bordering on the demonic about the sacrifice he made for his country.
Then threats against his wife and family? Truly sick — in the original sense of the term — especially at Christmas.
Further words fail me.
Friends, I need to start preparing for tomorrow’s lunch, so may I take this moment to say:
HAPPY CHRISTMAS to ALL!
and to you!!!
Many thanks, Pat!!
Merry Christmas to all !!!
And to those who do not celebrate the season, sending light and best wishes to you also.
Now, a word from POTUS::
Merry Christmas phoenixRising!
Merry Christmas, phoenixRising!
Merry Christmas Phoenix!
SO glad you’re here!
Jon Voight is a good guy.
I know this is so basic, 😄- but I don’t know how to post an image coupled with an mp3 – both of which are on my desktop. Can someone help me out? (It’s the Morten Lauridsen O Magnum Mysterium, but not the choir version. It’s Jane Thorngren with Lauridsen at the piano. You won’t be the same once you hear it.)
Hi GingersMom!
I’m not much further ahead than you, tech-wise, but I’ll give it a go.
First – don’t post ANYTHING to social media which “resides” on your own desktop! There is identifying “meta-data” that can be gleaned from that, and you can become vulnerable to doxxing.
So – try to search Youtube for the video, using the specific keywords from the title, or do the same from a search engine like DucjDuckGo.
Then, once you find the video you’re looking for, start playing that video on your computer, directly from the internet site where you found it, then pause it. It will still be “active”, and available to copy.
Move your cursor up to the URL address bar at the top (usually) of your browser, and click there, and the entire internet-address of the video should be highlighted. Then, you can copy it (“cut” part of “cut and paste”), and it will be in a temporary memory spot.
For me, “CONTROL + C” is “cut”, and “CONTROL + V” is “paste”. Meaning, while holding the control-key depressed, press the letter-key as well. (I have Apple; MS may be slightly different.
Then, come back to this site (sometimes it’s better to open a second “window”, to have BOTH sites open at the same time), begin a post, and then you can “paste” it into your comment. Make SURE to leave a blank line (“return” keyboard-button) in your post both BEFORE, and AFTER, the pasted / copied link.
I’m pretty sure I’ve got it about 90% right, maybe 100%.
Happy tech-sleuthing, and Merry Christmas!
Emerald, I have Microsoft, but this is interesting, you are a good teacher. Wonder if I can learn to do this, not sure, but I’m going to work on it. You are a good teacher.
If I may – I have MS – once you move your cursor to the URL in the box on the top, click on it and it should become shaded – right click while you “hover” over it and the menu will pop-up – click “copy,” move your cursor to this page, click on “reply.” Inside that box, right click and click “paste.” Put a carriage return before and after the line with the link for it to display on this thread. Hope I got that right and it helps you.
If you are using one of the finger pads embedded in laptops, I can’t help you. I despise those things and use a trackball cordless mouse.

Well, delete the last one. I won’t try anything else!
I just wanted to wish everyone here a Merry Christmas as well.
I’m not quick with making connections but this journey from the CTH to here also follows Q’s DARK TO LIGHT!
I’m very grateful to have found a wonderful, welcoming place to share insights, experiences and read awesome research!!
thanks everyone (especially Wolf!)!!! God Bless you all!
Oh no, what’s Obama going to do for Xmas dinner?
https://www.wrdw.com/content/news/President-Trump-Signs-the-Farm-Bill-Making-Dog-and-Cat-Meat-Illegal-in-the-United-States-503308841.html?fbclid=IwAR2o7if-LbH6ZtYmNiC6xOzYVmpB5BXucz28IGS3azwLAcMe7_XJxKJSVss
EEEEEWWWWWWW
this blurb is from SD:
“Defense Secretary James Mattis wanted us to stay in Paris accord. Trump said no. Mattis wanted us to stay in the Iran deal. Trump said no. Mattis wanted less pressure on NATO. Trump said no. Mattis wanted to keep soldiers in Syria. Trump said no. Mattis wanted to hang around until February… Trump said no”
there is still fighting going on over “there” about Mattis and someone posted that there was a NATO conference he wanted to attend–which is in part why he wanted to defer retirement till Feb…
But as with Speaker Ryan, I think once you announce you’re leaving–you go. lock up his office, confiscate his computer, restrict his access and wish him well. Since he obviously disagrees with POTUS and his agenda, why allow him to continue?
I’m not a fan of Mattis. He can be replaced pretty easily with someone more in line with MAGA. The media is wildly overplaying their hand. POTUS will find a way to embarass them again
To those few Senators who think I don’t like or appreciate being allied with other countries, they are wrong, I DO. What I don’t like, however, is when many of these same countries take advantage of their friendship with the United States, both in Military Protection and Trade…
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 24, 2018
AMEN.
There is difference between being somebody’s friend who always gets invited to dinner, and being somebody’s chump who always gets invited to the poker game.
Just as there is a difference between a PRESIDENT who wrote the book on dealing, and SENATORS who couldn’t play poker if their lives depended on it.
If you want to WIN, listen to THE GUY who wrote THE BOOK.
that’s a cool pic
We are substantially subsidizing the Militaries of many VERY rich countries all over the world, while at the same time these countries take total advantage of the U.S., and our TAXPAYERS, on Trade. General Mattis did not see this as a problem. I DO, and it is being fixed!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 24, 2018
KABOOM.
Haaaa….”little Bob Corker”!
man he is brutal
Yeah he is.
And I love it…because these weasels deserve it, for what they’ve been doing to us.
it’s amazing how he exposes them as weasels too…it’s been the education of my lifetime
I prefer to think that they have EXPOSED THEMSELVES as weasels … and VSGPDJT is just pointing it out!
Very glad you’re here, NYG! You add a LOT to the convo!
Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year!
Very kind of you Em but I am just part of the army. MC and HNY! Here’s to a better tomorrow for all of us
“…they have EXPOSED THEMSELVES as weasels … and VSGPDJT is just pointing it out!”
We’ve never had anyone who would do it before…not the media, and not spineless Republicans. That’s why we love Pres. Trump!
Of course not – they are complicit right down the line!
Merry Christmas, TT!
I always pay attention to your posts! Your handle is apt!
And you’re right – we DO love our VSGPDJT, Patriot extraordinaire! For the reason you cite, and for many others!
Merry Christmas, Emeraldstar and all! I learn so much from everyone here. (My handle comes from the Declaration of Independence, “We hold these truths to be self evident…” It reminds me of why this country was founded.)
Tough love that these STOOGES are desperately in need of!
PDJT saying what us deplorable’s have been saying for years. This is great finally a voice for the average American. MAGA
Snap!!!!!!!!!!
That’s my President!
Oh, I love this guy! Merry Christmas! 😀
A medical doctor reviews open source information available about RBG’s health and opines.
https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2018/12/justice_ginsburgs_failing_health.html
“Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg continues to be in the news as questions mount over her health and ability to serve on the US Supreme Court. Most recently, she underwent, “Surgery to remove two malignant nodules from her left lung, the Supreme Court says.”
Yet a week ago, she was the picture of health and vigor, announcing, “My health is fine, ribs are almost repaired.” These two announcements, a week apart, don’t pass the smell test. Much like Hillary Clinton’s excellent health and fitness to serve as president despite her falls, double vision, and coughing spells…”
I agree with the Doctor…it doesn’t pass the smell test.
I think I see what Trump is doing here. Man, that guy plays poker at dream level 5.
“No deals.”
“Their symbols will be their downfall.”
“Military precision.”
RBG will exit in early January. IMO (and Q’s opinion too, I believe)
Merry Christmas, Wolf!
Thank you so much for this site … and if I may be so bold, you are ENJOINED from posting tomorrow! (OK, just the daily thread!)
Enjoy your family! And let them enjoy YOU, too!
Whooooboy, that will be when lots of hair is on fire! (If you think Kavanaugh was a spectacle, you ain’t seen nuthin’ yet.)
I can’t wait.
Swinging a hard Left seat to MAGA WILL change the balance of power, unless one of the still-conservatives squishes out like Roberts seems to be doing. And “they” know this.
she has had 3 different types of cancer in 18 years. Each time the docs say she is cured
there was no source given, (over there) but someone commented that NBC? CBS? ABC? reported RBG voted from her hospital bed.
I saw that. I actually saw the tweet somewhere but I can’t remember which network provided the info. I don’t think that should be allowed.
Yes, that’s been reported…they act like it’s ‘no big deal’.
But how is that even legal?!
When has that ever happened before?
Seems like here have been times when other Justices were absent from the bench…and they didn’t vote from some outside location.
if she was using pain medication is it even legal?
It is too much like Woodrow Wilson’s wife signing papers for him, etc., for the last bit of his presidency after he was incapacitated by his stroke. It’s just wrong.
If Hillary were president [shudder], we would have Huma signing things for her.
Right there one sees how Sun Tzu the Saudis and/or Muslim Brotherhood are. (Notice how “what she is” covers for her either way? Accuse one and they point to the other. Ingenious!) For Sunni Islam to send a spy girl fake / real / “who knows” lesbian to cozy up to a future president who is arguably the most powerful woman in the world, while she sputters out at just the right rate to put a superpower into their hands – what the heck does that TAKE? It ain’t no accident – I’ll say that much.
There was one person Tweeting that was being repeatedly posted OT, from what I saw, and I also read that hadn’t been proven to be true. IMO, this is probably how it went down – this surgery has been scheduled for quite some time. I would guess she could have voted BEFORE going to the hospital or, perhaps, from the hospital (can they phone it in?) before being medicated for the surgery. But, I can’t say for sure so….anyhoo, “what difference now does it make?” Even if it is illegal, who is going to do anything about it? SMH
“Surgery to remove two malignant nodules from her left lung, the Supreme Court says.”
Doesn’t “malignant” mean… really, really bad?
malignant [mah-lig´nant]
tending to become progressively worse and to result in death; having the properties of anaplasia, invasiveness, and metastasis; said of tumors.
(Miller-Keane Encyclopedia and Dictionary of Medicine, Nursing, and Allied Health, Seventh Edition. © 2003 by Saunders, an imprint of Elsevier, Inc. All rights reserved.)
Hangin’ on to help Cankles dodge the needle.
I hear ya, wolfmoon!
It specifically means “cancerous” in this connection.
And, since I am reminded of it, even though it’s not quite on topic here, I’ll pull out my old standby: It’s not “Progressive” as in “progress,” it’s “Progressive” as in “cancer.”
She has got to have reached her limit of remission!! They keep bringing this evil woman back from the dead and if it were you or I they would of written us off long ago! I will bet ya dollars to doughnuts, that when we are finally told she has passed away she will have been dead for weeks or maybe months!
The commie libs have a knack for phony documents and extended “so called” life spans… without challenge from anyone… If you get my drift.
They would “have” written us off long ago… Sorry, my southern accent is showing… 🙂
Keep seeing if she makes public appearances, and that would include appearing at the SCOTUS to hear arguments, etc.
Well, the nodules were definitely cancer. They aren’t sharing with the public what state cancer, but if (as seems likely) these are cancer cells that have spread from somewhere else that is very grave.
Frankly, at 85 years old even if they aren’t spread from somewhere else in her body and it is just a new occurrence of lung cancer it is still a very grave condition.
I honestly don’t see how anyone can reasonably think she is going to be doing that job much longer.
I had my right lung removed except for a bit they left on the bottom. Im still foggy about the whole surgery but I can say this , it was a major ordeal and I was in the hospital for a good while learning to breathe operating on one lung. and this cancer was caught early, no chemo with this one thank you Lord! when I was going through the throat cancer they spotted the lung node on a pet scan and I had to wait 5 years for the lung surgery as the throat cancer was a brutal treatment. and the recovery has been quite long on the lung but I have learned to just keep on going. RBG is 85 and iam 60 if I had a heck of a time at my age I can say this its not better for her at all,the older we are the harder the recovery ect…. and I do not believe anything the media has to say about her health one way or the other as its nothing but lies lies lies. I would say her time here is quite short at this point no matter how many lungs are offered by the deranged idiots who adore her.
Sue I pray your recover continues! Thank you for sharing your story. I don’t know how she could be still battling this one out, but who knows, maybe she had strong genes. My grandfather is 85 (or so) and he has lymphoma – the treatments knock him for a loop, but he’s hanging in there….
Sue, you are right about rbg, and have to add I think You are one amazing woman to come through all that as you have.
I wish they would just report the ever-loving TRUTH!!! For crying out loud!!!!! TELL US THE TRUTH – we, the people, DESERVE to know!
Very nice:

I’m going to go waaaaaaaay out on my branch here and assert that whoever produced that video might be a touch Deplorable.
LOL! Bouncy, bouncy, end of the branch, sounds like a conspiracy theory to me. 😉

Whoopsie. Now the German “journalist” for Der Spiegel and highly acclaimed by CNN who wrote the fake “Trump supporters are hillbilly hicks” story about Fergus Falls, Minnesota is now in trouble for charity scamming, also.

“PC kills” is real.
Sorry, this is a link to the always icky USA Today. However, it was interesting to me because it provided some detail as to ways PDJT could free up money to Build The Wall, and by no means does it involve having to take it from the military. If these USA Today people are correct (and I won’t bet the mortgage on that or anything) it would seem PDJT has some viable options that could take care of the funding issue readily.
So, again if this is true, what is that cagey fellow up to with all the shutdown drama? Heh, heh, heh. Perhaps he wants to show the world that the Dims are horses asses and perhaps he wants to pressure McConnell into eliminating the filibuster.
https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2018/12/24/donald-trump-shutdown-congress-approval-build-border-wall-spending-column/2402442002/
I think we’ve learned from other ‘shutdowns’…that the President has the power of the purse during a shutdown.
The President can authorize “emergency funds” for whatever he deems necessary.
I didn’t click on the icky USA Today article, though.
Is that what they said?
You too, Wheatie!
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas to you too, Emeraldstar!
then what was Schumer bloviating about when he said the President could not take funding away from anywhere else–all expenditures have to go thru Congress? is he stating normal conditions vs emergency conditions (shutdown)?
Schumer is wrong about things…a lot.
You said it: bloviating, i.e., lying. Technically and Constitutionally, funding authority is supposed to originate in the House. Of course, that didn’t stop them with OCARE! He is being very disingenuous.
Technically, bloviating doesn’t mean lying, it just means being a verbose windbag. Schumer is, however both a bloviator and a liar.
Sundance is merely a bloviator.
Check – I knew that but was feeling a bit hyperbolic! LOL
Heh. I always get a chuckle out of “hyperbolic” and “hyperbole” used to mean exaggeration, because I’ve studied orbital dynamics–and there a “hyperbolic” orbit (which actually draws a hyperbola in space) is one that’s an escape trajectory. Even when it’s “incoming” you know it’s going to go back out again and never return. I do wonder if there’s a etymological relationship.
Here’s a few snips from the article. The author of the piece has written a book, The Conservative Case For Trump. I am super disgusted by John Thune’s remarks and the statement from Sonny Perdue’s chief of staff. Grrr…. What is WITH these people?
“…A week ago, the White House put out a call to federal agencies to look for “pots of money” in their existing budgets that could be cobbled together to pay for border wall construction. Immediately, Sen. John Thune, the Republican whip in the upper chamber, shot down the idea of shifting funds from executive departments to the border, saying, “I’m not a big fan of moving money.” Like it or not, there are sources of revenue in the executive branch that the president has authority to use without congressional approval…
The Department of Agriculture has about $200 billion in outstanding loans for rural development projects such as community buildings, bridges, roads, fire stations, police stations, water projects and barriers such as fencing and walls. These federal loans to local communities have low default rates that are attractive to private-sector investors because they represent large, reliable cash flows — the kind of investments that big money funds desperately desire.
About $50-100 billion worth currently held by USDA are very marketable and attractive commercial paper investments. The rights to collect the remainder of the debt on these loans could be sold to private parties who would pay a premium for such a steady stream of cash payments. The sales would give a profit cushion to the government and alleviate taxpayers from any future risk of nonpayment while retaining certain borrower guarantees.
For example, Trump could authorize the sale of $10 billion of USDA rural water loans on the secondary market, which could bring in a lump sum payment of $12 billion or more. Revenue from these proceeds could be directed to build the border wall.
Legal authority comes from many angles. Obama stimulus loans (approximately $2-$5 billion) could be separated out and used because they involved “no year” money, meaning the funds don’t expire if not spent in a certain time frame. The president could tap into USDA’s Community Facilities Programs money if recouped funds from the sale were used for new loans to cooperating communities on the border, such as in Texas…
Another option would be to utilize funds in the same way USDA undertakes in-kind swaps with private parties to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars worth of commodities and services. This would entail swapping the proceeds of the commercial paper sales for the wall, with construction companies being the counterparties.
These are only a few creative funding avenues that could be explored, some less complicated than others. Such an aggressive approach is a sure way for Trump to regain the initiative and get the attention of lawmakers who have an interest in killing any threat to their control over spending, thus giving the president leverage in negotiations as pressure mounts to end the shutdown.
While the Constitution gives Congress power over the government’s purse strings, presidents of both parties have pushed the limits of their flexibility to use executive-branch funds free of congressional micromanagement. President George W. Bush was criticized for keeping billions in war spending off the books so it could be diverted to secret operations free from congressional oversight. Conservatives complained that President Barack Obama spent billions on health care without congressional authorization…
Opposition to the wall within Trump’s own administration has prevented progress on this issue, which is wildly popular with the GOP’s conservative base and is the consequence of the president surrounding himself with establishment advisers who have worked to thwart his populist agenda from within. For example, after being briefed on the concept of selling USDA commercial paper to pay for border security, Agriculture Secretary Sonny Perdue’s then-Chief of Staff Heidi Green shot down the idea by curtly stating, “The secretary does not want the wall.”….”
Here’s the summary paragraph of the article as well as the CV for the author so we can evaluate him as a source at least a little bit.
“…Minus an 11th-hour deal in the Senate, the only way a border wall will get built is if the president uses executive power to do it. He has the funds available and the authority to build the wall on his own. The only question is whether President Trump will finally start taking advice from those who actually support his goals rather than continuing to trust the internal obstructionists.”

thanks for this Sylvia!
POTUS does have avenues available to him—good to know!
and as for his cabinet members speaking out against the President’s agenda? if he asks for your opinion, feel free to give it–otherwise, shut up!
“…Secretary Sonny Perdue’s then-Chief of Staff Heidi Green shot down the idea by curtly stating, “The secretary does not want the wall.”….”
______
Little Heidi Green should get the boot for that!
Grrr.
She absolutely should. Even if it is true, she shouldn’t say something like that. And if it is true, then perhaps Sonny Perdue should get the boot, as well.
I’m totally over these idiots who won’t get on board the President’s agenda. I think it is perfectly fine for adults to disagree but for heaven’s sake WHY do all the President’s men feel compelled to disagree in public???? What ever happened to pulling together and showing a united front? Disagreements need to be kept behind closed doors.
Or is this just another area where I wake up and discover I am hopelessly old fashioned and no one behaves like that any more?
No…it’s not old fashioned.
Spouting off that way is disloyal and just bad form.
FROM A RANK NOVICE ON NATIONAL FINANCE: Just starting to read but I early-on had one question: how would this affect the rural property-owners directly? Would that not expose them to possible predatory lending (not sure if that is the correct terminology) by the secondary market, with fewer guarantees and benefits to the land-owner, as well as higher interest rates?
“For example, Trump could authorize the sale of $10 billion of USDA rural water loans on the secondary market, which could bring in a lump sum payment of $12 billion or more. Revenue from these proceeds could be directed to build the border wall.”
Merry Christmas Sylvia!
🙂
Merry Christmas to you, too!
This is cool.

And while Don Jr works on the political front…Eric tends to business:
.
And baby Luke is getting so big:
Can you imagine running into Lara Trump at Target?
That would be amazing, wouldn’t it?
I would imagine that she has some SecServive guys watching over her and little Luke when they’re out.
Even though we don’t see any of them in that picture…I notice that the isle looks like it’s been ‘cleared’.
Heheh.
I can’t believe she shops at Target like the rest of us.
And what a cute kid.
She would turn to you and say “are you the Sylvia I saw on Q Tree? So nice to meet you!”
That wouldn’t surprise me at all. She seems very genuine, and she is quite interested in politics so who knows, she may have found her way here!
And where is your shovel, btw?
oh that would make me laugh
Today I actually get to stay home, make gingerbread cookies, and have polar express day with a little someone. Santa was up til 1 am wrapping presents after waking at 5 am the day before. Tomorrow among the hustle and bustle I hope we all can just stop and remind ourselves how grateful we can be since we still are able to celebrate Christmas, let alone have a POTUS who encourages it!
Merry Christmas To you and your family wherever and however you are celebrating!

Thanks, Gil!
And a Very Merry Christmas to you and yours, too!
Have a very merry midwest Christmas!😁
A very happy Christmas to all my fellow treepers here. Love that Midwest Christmas so much. Very down-to-earth.
It sounds perfect! And maybe sneak a nap in there….
Yep…it would be nice.🙄
This is an amazing pic
The giant Enceladus is having indigestion today, or so the ancient Greeks would have it were they around to see this.
Etna is always grumbling and outgassing; people in Catania at its base just shrug, it’s the weather to them.
Talking to someone else, they say the people in Catania would be more worried if Etna were NOT active…they figure the old kaboomberg is bottling it up and will blow.
Husband took me to Sicily for my birthday and we rode to the top of Etna, well, maybe 7/8th’s of the way. It’s easy to see why the ancients thought it was the gateway to hell. Temp drops about 40 degrees, fog sets in, and you can’t see more than 15 feet. Lava chunks litter the sides of the roads and nothing is growing. It looks and feels eerie, like hell. Poor Persephone.
that’s awesome..nice trip
The cableway goes up to 2500 meters, and the summit is 2920–or at least it was; who knows how high it is now? I’ve been up to the top of the cableway, but thought it was further from the summit.
There’s a road too. We rented a cute lil’ Mercedes. I couldn’t wait to come down. Gave me the creeps.
I picked up all kinds of Lava to bring home (family tradition-grandpa used to bring rocks home from vacations) but the rocks were heavy, so I stuffed them in my carry-on, must have weighed 75+lbs.
Got to Fiumicino airport in Rome and the security guy had a fit about the rocks my suitcase. I thought I was going to be arrested for stealing minerals or something. No. He was convinced I could break an airplane window with a piece of lava. Really? I laughed. I don’t look like terrorist.
We also came home with little vials of snow/water from top of Mt Etna. Put the snow in a film container. Like you said, the base was probably 70 degrees.
Very weird place though. Did not like it.
I brought a small rock home myself (I figured Etna will make more), but it was in checked luggage.
Haven’t posted any funnies lately so I went looking for one with a Christmas theme. Found a revised version of “Twas the night before Christmas.”
T’was the night before Christmas, and all through D.C., not a creature was stirring, except Marion B.
The streets were abandoned, the drug dealers slept. But the mayor in his limo, through Southeast he crept.
A sliver spoon was hung from his neck with great care, in hopes that Charles Lewis soon would be there.
When, all at once, there arose such a clatter. He halted his limo to see what was the matter.
And what to his wandering eyes should appear? But a pile of white powder, a mountain of cheer.
He jumped from the limo, lickety-split. Five minutes later, the mayor was lit.
He snorted and shoveled that coke up his nose. His eyes were all bloodshot and glowed like a rose.
Back to the limo, he ran like a flash. “Now that that’s gone, let’s go home to MY stash!”
I heard him exclaim, with no hint of strife, “I’ll snort if I like, I’M MAYOR FOR LIFE!””
LOL never heard that one before
I lived out there during that whole debacle. And then they put up a statue in honor of this douchebag!
With less than ten minutes to go before my self-imposed blackout for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day (may make it back here after dinner), I do want to say Merry Christmas to all of you here. I’ll be honest, as a singer with three Masses in the next 24 hours including two solos and a lot of high notes, the family drama of being the calm one in a pack of hyper and strong personalities is draining. Entirely too much going on for me to really enjoy it. I’m ready for January 4!
However, I can’t leave my favorite musical time of the year, musically speaking, without sharing the oldest of the pieces in the standard Advent/Christmas repertoire. This recording is heavy on descant, and doesn’t flow quite like chant should, but it is a good reminder that we are connected to the past in this season by the music we make. Every time period since the fifth century is represented somewhere.
So, Merry Christmas and remember that for musicians, this is one of the busiest times of the year. If they forget to bring the frozen aquarium jello mold to dinner, forgive them.
Here’s hoping you have a Merry Christmas in spite of the stress that comes with it.
I’m guessing the piece was originally in Latin, since what the Angles and Saxons spoke in the 5th century would be utterly unrecognizable today as “English.”
Merry Christmas! I’m sure you’ll sing like a beautiful angel DP!
Merry Christmas, D-Pat!
Hoping this helps, btw: One finds ones peace from within!
“Do not let your heart be troubled!”
(Yet another Tolkien quote…)
Remember to EXHALE – not just for physical song (for others), but for spiritual song (for oneself) as well!
Cheers!
Merry Christmas, DP! Thank you for a wonderful year of enlightening posts! 😀
here’s something we haven’t seen yet….
Women in Syria want their men back. lol
https://voiceofeurope.com/2018/12/syrian-women-to-the-eu-kick-our-men-out-and-send-them-home-we-need-them-here/#.XCDtB5b2YhA.twitter
The war in Syria has led to a shortage of men in the country. Now the Syrian women want their men back, and ask the EU to “kick them out” so that they return and help rebuild the country.
“Look around, you see only women. At the University, in the street, in cafes, only women. Most young men left Syria,” says the female students Safaa and Sheima.
Pickup and mail-order-bride sites catching on to this and advertising “Beautiful Syrian Women Want You”
…in 3…2…1…
hahah….maybe a 2 for 1 special !
Yep. And then they say, “You can’t be Syria’s”…
LOL.
Shows how gutless they are. Merry Christmas to all
The Wall is different than the 25 Billion Dollars in Border Security. The complete Wall will be built with the Shutdown money plus funds already in hand. The reporting has been inaccurate on the point. The problem is, without the Wall, much of the rest of Dollars are wasted!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 24, 2018
The Wall is not the complete answer (which is what Mulvaney said all that time ago, when Wallace tried to trip him up), nor can there be an answer without the wall. In logician’s terms, it is necessary but not sufficient.
Saudi Arabia has now agreed to spend the necessary money needed to help rebuild Syria, instead of the United States. See? Isn’t it nice when immensely wealthy countries help rebuild their neighbors rather than a Great Country, the U.S., that is 5000 miles away. Thanks to Saudi A!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 24, 2018
I am all alone (poor me) in the White House waiting for the Democrats to come back and make a deal on desperately needed Border Security. At some point the Democrats not wanting to make a deal will cost our Country more money than the Border Wall we are all talking about. Crazy!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 24, 20
IMO, he’s prepping for the ultimate MOAB descending upon the DS, come Jan 1!
Gotta get all those last ducks in a row – and what better opportunity to do it, than while everyone else is away!
Very … Stable … Genius.
2019 will be more glorious than we’d ever imagined.
Seriously.
Agreed. The Unmasking Shutdown, the Christmas Troops Home Gift, and the Convenient Rearrangement of Staff are all world-class chess moves.
Much movement around ground zero of the MOAB. Prepare for fireworks, but possibly in the distance where we hear and don’t see. Very interesting stuff going on.
This is long but, IMO, a worthy read. I am posting this in honor of all the outstanding, intelligent, and strong women here – honor and value yourselves (in a humble way, of course)!
THE ONE FLAW IN WOMEN
By the time the Lord made woman, he was into his sixth day of working overtime. An angel appeared and said, “Why are you spending so much time on this one?” And the Lord answered, “Have you seen my spec sheet on her? She has to be completely washable, but not plastic, have over 200 movable parts, all replaceable, and able to run on diet coke and leftovers, have a lap that can hold four children at one time, have a kiss that can cure anything from a scraped knee to a broken heart – and she will do everything with only two hands.”
The angel was astounded at the requirements. “Only two hands? No way! And that’s just on the standard model? That’s too much work for one day. Wait until tomorrow to finish.” “But I won’t,” the Lord protested. “I am so close to finishing this creation that is so close to my own heart. She already heals herself when she is sick AND can work 18 hour days.” The angel moved closer and touched the woman. “But you have made her so soft, Lord.” “She is soft,” the Lord agreed, “but I have also made her tough. You have no idea what she can endure or accomplish.” “Will she be able to think?” asked the angel. The Lord replied, “Not only will she be able to think, she will be able to reason and negotiate.”
The angel then noticed something and, reaching out, touched the woman’s cheek. “Oops, it looks like you have a leak in this model. I told you that you were trying to put too much into this one.” “That’s not a leak,” the Lord corrected. “What’s the tear for?” the angel asked. The Lord said, “The tear is her way of expressing her joy, her sorrow, her pain, her disappointment, her love, her loneliness, her grief and her pride.” The angel was impressed. “You are a genius, Lord…..You thought of everything! Woman is truly amazing.”
And she is! Women have strengths that amaze men. They bear hardships and they carry burdens, but they hold happiness, love and joy. They smile when they want to scream. They sing when they want to cry. They cry when they are happy and laugh when they are nervous. They fight for what they believe in, they stand up to injustice, and they don’t take “no” for an answer when they believe there is a better solution. They go without so their family can have, they go to the doctor with a frightened friend. They love unconditionally. They cry when their children excel and cheer when their friends get awards. They are happy when they hear about a birth or a wedding, their hearts break when a friend dies. They grieve at the loss of a family member, yet they are strong when they think there is no strength left. They know that a hug and a kiss can heal a broken heart.
Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors. They’ll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you to show how much they care about you. The heart of a woman is what makes the world keep turning. They bring joy, hope and love, they have compassion and ideals. They give moral support to their family and friends. Women have vital things to say and everything to give.
HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN, IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR OWN WORTH!
worth every second to read!
Loved it.
Thank you, Nebraska Filly, that one is worthy of a bookmark.
That’s beautiful.
Well wasn’t the whole purpose of ISIS to create hell in the middle east so the men would move out and start the great hegria (migration) to spread the faith and subdue the west. The woman will just have to patient.
It’s kind of a shame that the young men left; abandoned their mothers, sisters and wives to go live in safety… and now I wonder if they have the guts to go home and rebuild.. they should ask for forgiveness from the women they left behind… oh wait, women are just things to them and not an equal part of the culture. Never mind.
They get their refugee status then send for all 200 immediate family members
Ok, did anyone else see that the WaPo Max Boot Syria turn-about Meme was a LARP-ish troll … probably by Max Boot *and* the “weaponized autists” caught it in a heart beat? Personally, I was fine with re-posting it and not checking sources. Guess I’m not a weaponized autist.
https://gab.com/NeonRevolt/posts/44320451
More on that.
https://gab.com/NeonRevolt/posts/44320451
I can’t figure out from the tiny, tiny illustrations what this is about.
I presume it’s about Max Boot being called a hypocrite for his recent criticism of Trump’s order to pull out of Syria; Boot tried to claim the old headline was fake.
So…did it turn out to be fake or not? Or is this about something else completely?
Steve, you can enlarge the graphics with some difficulty (“open image in new tab” helps).
What they’re saying is that the meme is a trap, likely from WaPo and its CIA allies. I tend to agree.
The way it worked was this. The meme was seeded first on an obscure board, not the chans, but sure to be picked up. That is a small but important point – it’s for deniability. It grew on the internet until it appeared in places like Twitter. A few people fact-check it and discover the bottom image is fake. Max Boot himself goes out on Twitter and calls it fake. Now here is the good part. Q knows they’re hoping Trump will retweet. Instead, what Q did is reposted it with a bait response that reads correctly if he DIDN’T catch that it was fake, but even more correctly if he DID catch that it was fake. (An example of what I call a wheat/chaff sorter). Q posts that response and an anon jumps him in under two minutes to discredit. Then Max Boot jumps out very quickly with an article bashing Q – exactly as expected. But Q followers fire back and say re-read the Q tweet – he KNOWS it’s fake, and triple-called it. Max Boot was waiting to discredit Q – PROVEN.
As I said on Gab…
Yes – a very sophisticated self-hoax by CIA/DNC/WaPo. Q’s response makes 90% sense if he didn’t catch that it was a hoax, but 100% sense if he did (“fake fake fake”, anons playing games all day, etc.).
Basically, Q pretended to take the bait and let WaPo set the hook and tumble back in their deck chair, proving they were fishing. Q stung the sting.
This is the nature of spying, disinformation, and intelligence. It gets complicated.
Ah cool.
I just went back and looked at 2639, and you’re right. It does makes more sense if one assumes Q was calling it fake.
I realize this is now a side issue but: If I can untangle this, Max Boot did NOT call for withdrawal back in April.
No – the opposite. But still uninformed. He has definitely not caught up to Trump, and he’s hypocritical as hell. His world is spun around by KGB-CIA, so he has no clue that he’s basically an anti-dupe (reacts to Russia negatively on command by their CIA buddies).

People are going to have to get Russia and the Dems’ real relationship straight to see why Mueller is controlling the “red meat” of Democrat-Russian collusion.
Closed floors, anyone? Yeah, right. Mueller is COVER-UP more than anything else.
Cover Up, like a cat covers its droppings.
To everyone here at our new home I wish you all a very wonderful Christmas and am so thankful for each of you here! Thank you to Wolf for making a new home for all of us to gather and talk, I dont comment a lot but I do read all comments, some with tears and others with laughter. May we all be blessed in the new year and may the Lord continue keeping the President safe and his family and team!
Merry Christmas, Sue!
Whether reading, or commenting, you’re an important part of this wonderful site!
Blessings to you …
Merry Christmas to you too!
Merry Christmas to you!
Some branches here are quiet. Others are raucous. They’re all part of a big honkin’ tree.
Merry Christmas to you!
Warmest wishes for a merry Christmas, Sue!
AMEN and Merry Christmas! 😀
Thank you for being here, even when you lurk. Lurkers make a difference! Someday I’ll show you folks the numbers!
so we’ve had our traditional Christmas Eve turkey dinner–we eat around 1 pm so we can enjoy leftovers for dinner and i don’t have to cook!). Hubby is watching Die Hard…and I’m feeling fairly badass myself, so I wandered over to yahoo to check out what’s new in the world of wrong…
The UN says the US MUST investigate the migrant girl’s death and MUST stop child detentions. (yawn)
North Korea is ordered (by whom??) to pay Warmbier’s family $500M…where they gonna get that??? (yawn…must be the tryptophan…)
Aaah, yes, Die Hard, a true Xmas Movie. So is its sequel.
I went looking for Die Hard two years ago, and couldn’t find it (I had lent it out; I’ve since recovered it). I decided to put in Lethal Weapon (which I’d before never seen straight through) only to discover quite gladly that it, too, is a movie set in the Christmas season.
Mmm….turkey. We’re having New England clam chowder for supper with a veggie tray and smoked salmon dip and artichoke/parmesan dip, and kringle from the Danish bakery for dessert. Tomorrow is turkey and ham….
And oh boy, Die Hard! Yippee kiyay! Love it!
Danish bakery…my nemesis….not the french…not the brits….cookies….enjoy!
The kringle was so good. It has been more than ten years since I had it for Christmas Eve because I don’t eat sweets any more. Wow. I had forgotten. That delicate almond taste is so subtle and so delicious.
I just want to wish everyone a Very Merry Christmas.
I haven’t been around much this past week and you will probably not see much of me this coming week also. I appreciate my Q Tree family very much, a truly MAGA bunch even though many of us are scattered across the globe.
Stay safe, everyone, we have much to witness. 2019 is going to be a year like no other. May God Bless and Protect you all. May God also Bless and Protect POTUS, his family, his crew and their families, this day and always. Amen.
Merry Christmas! Check in when you can and I hope you are having a wonderful holiday season.
Merry Christmas!!! 😀
Merry Christmas A.D.! God bless you and yours – check in when you can, I have always appreciated your positive insight! 🙂
Merry Christmas everyone! I’ve been in and out taking care of last minute things, but wanted to share this beautiful celtic version of O Holy Night.
Beautiful! Thank you!
Merry Christmas to all my friends here….hope your dinner is joyful. It is a quiet night for me but I love hearing what you all do to celebrate.
Merry Christmas! 😀
We had a great dinner, but now I celebrate with some logistics (next post! 😉 LOL)
go enjoy your family forget the site for a while…
but in case you have to look on here…here’s an interesting piece about Brett McGurk by Saul Montes-Bradley
https://quodverum.com/2018/12/358/syria-a-change-in-tactics-.html
Thinking of you, NYGuy. All best wishes.
Then you must know that I am celebrating (quietly) the 47th year of marriage today. To an awesome guy who rescued me from a boring life and promised me we would see the world and meet important people and by crook we did. “So now we have gone to where the hills are green and the cars are few and far. Days are full of splendor and at night you can see the stars,”. Here’s to many more cause I’m a blessed girl. Merry Christmas NYGuy!
That is awesome. Congratulations.
Wonderful story! Merry Christmas! <3

Thank you!!!
Mery I mean merry Christmas, Jane. Hey Jane, what about those of us who
I triple that remark and Merry Christmas to you and Wolf!
I heard the bells on Christmas Day
Their old, familiar carols play,
And wild and sweet,
The words repeat
Of peace on earth , good will to men!
And thought of how, as the day had come,
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along
The unbroken song
Of peace on earth, good will to men!
Till ringing, singing on it’s way,
The world evolved from night to day,
A voice, a chime,
A chant sublime
Of peace on earth, good will to men!
Then from each black, accused mouth
The cannon thundered in the south,
And with the soundness of a continent,
The carols drowned
Of peace on earth, good will to men!
It was if an earthquake rent
The stones of a continent,
And made forlorn
The households born
Of peace on earth good will to men!
And in despair I bowed my head;
There is no peace on earth ” I said’;
For hate is strong,
And mocks the song
Of peace on earth, good will to men!
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
God is not dead, nor doth He sleep;
The Wrong shall fail,
The Right prevail,
With peace on earth, good-will to men!
Christmas Bells
By Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Merry Christmas friends and God bless you all

Too bad all the things he gripes about will probably continue as “essential.”
Chuck and Nancy tweeted out the exact same thing, word for word:

Thanks, Wheatie! I put the K.S. post into limbo until Wednesday. I’m not tarnishing Christmas with that stuff. But I will put your links into a massive take-down post on it then, so thanks! 😎
Oh, so *that* is what you were referring to as the “Satanic Fake News Release”?
There are several going on right now…so I wasn’t sure which one you were referring to.
Heheh.
Sorry for posting that, then.
And you betcha…it can wait till after Christmas!
Yeah, that was it. They SAVED it for now, for several reasons. Not gonna work. Forgotten for the next 22.5 hours! 😉
