This SPECIAL FLOTUS FASHION FRIDAY 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.
No illegalities, please! FLOTUS is IN THE HOUSE.
Check your guns, knives longer than “regular Bowie”, and nuclear weapons at the door. Shovels are considered an accessory, along with canes, pearl-handled revolvers, and any weapon that is part of a matching outfit. And we are VERY picky about matching. Don’t try anything or we will be calling the Secret Service and Fashion 911. Not necessarily in that order.
Today (Friday, December 14) is the thirteenth day of Advent.

Ben Garrison’s latest cartoon featuring Chuck and Nancy is great…but you may need eye bleach after you see it.
I started to post it.
But things once seen, cannot be unseen.
So I will let you go to Kane’s posting of it here on his Citizen’s Free Press:
https://www.citizenfreepress.com/breaking/ben-garrison-cartoon/
I couldn’t resist stealing this one, though:
yup, you warned me…still spit coffee all over the keyboard…LOL
At the link, I don’t care who you are, that’s funny right there.
I don’t remember where I first saw this one, may have been here, but it does accurately display the cash-flush cycle. Makes appropriate use of a certain marxist ventriloquist dummy too
Love this one – will meme heavily! 😎
Yup, goes nicely with the posted image above. Nothing goes with that nekkid image tho. Garrison should go to his room without supper for a few days over that one.
AYE-YI-YI !!! You’re right!
how about this tweet?
WOW.
right? Wolfie! The visual of the “Mr Huber” who was obviously missing at the hearing was a big slap in the face to all of the 1000 (or so) people who actually watch C SPAN live…But MEDIA PLAYED it UP along with Never Trumper and Anti Q sites…
But here is the REAL Story…Or as Paul Harvey would say–“The rest of the story”
Schedule for tomorrow.
Where is HUBER?
NOBODY IS ABOVE THE LAW.
THE WORLD IS WATCHING.
Q
Q asked – perfect set-up for the troll.
Thank you for tying it all together!!! THE WORLD IS WATCHING! YEAH BABY!!
Yes, it is!
Not really a laughing matter, but Huber obviously had better things to do than be interrogated by the likes of Eleanor Holmes Norton.
Huber hiding in plain sight. Yesterday was pretty important.
Thanks for posting….shared it with many…..
Thats great. But i know there is only 1 way to treat them, unless they have given up others.
this literally was jaw dropping —Not kidding..
https://twitter.com/MAGAPILL/status/1073412352245198848
Yes. VERY.
Yes…this is where all the HateTrumpPropaganda has led.
They demonized and vilified PDJT to the point that, now they can act like ‘heroes’ for doing what they’ve done.
The DNC Fake News empire is literally the Enemy of the People!
They’ve been using their ‘Wrap-up Smear’ tactic on a scale like never before.
It’s an extension of Alinsky tactics…but they’ve put it to work on a global scale!
Isolate a target, Identify it, then demonize it and vilify it…then use that as a form of ‘virtue signaling’ to deploy it 24/7.
Write stories about it…then get operatives to refer to those stories.
And it all lies!
And speaking of ‘Fake News’…
I caught a glimpse of a clip where April Ryan, CNN-nozzle, was proclaiming that “Trump made up that term Fake News to use against things that are true about him!”
OMG. She doesn’t remember!
It was her side that made up the term ‘Fake News’…to use against the people who were researching and writing about the PizzaGate story!
PTrump immediately took the term away from them, though…and started beating them over the head with it.
Hah.
But it was their term, and *their invention*!
April is LYING. She is not stupid. She is LYING. She is that good of a liar. She has people fooled.
Are you sure she isn’t stupid? I can believe she is lying, oh yes I can. I find I am having trouble believing she is not stupid, though….
LOL “Are you sure she isn’t stupid?” great line!
“Fake News” was the original brainchild of WaPost.
Nope – been in use for over 100 years:
Secretary Brunnell Declares Fake News About His People is Being Telegraphed Over the Country.
—Cincinnati Commercial Tribune (Concinnati, OH), 7 Jun. 1890
Fake News. The following is handed to us for publication: Sunday’s Enterprise says that I and a companion were run over by the Neptune and thrown into the water. As can be proved by more than one, we did not so much as get our feet wet, nor were we helped into the Neptune. Clarence Collins.
—The Kearney Daily Hub (Kearney, NE), 7 Jul. 1890
The public taste is not really vitiated and it does not in its desire for ‘news’ absolutely crave for distortions of facts and enlargements of incidents; and it certainly has no genuine appetite for ‘fake news’ and ‘special fiend’ decoctions such as were served up by a local syndicate a year or two ago.

John Solomon on Comey (Dec. 8, excerpted):
https://thehill.com/opinion/white-house/420408-comeys-confession-dossier-not-verified-before-or-after-fisa-warrant#.XAwxrB0BaNQ.twitter
‘Many people I know in law enforcement circles shuddered when James Comey tweeted recently that acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker “may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer.”
‘To them, Comey’s Twitter attack crossed that “blue line” – the one that real cops abide by, to never criticize fellow officers and to always have their backs.
‘I had a different reaction. I found it odd that a man who started his Twitter career by quoting Bible verses about justice might have forgotten one of the golden utterances from Jesus himself: “He that is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone.”
‘The failures of Comey’s remarkably turbulent and short tenure as FBI director were on display again Friday on Capitol Hill, when he was interviewed in a closed-door session by two House committees. Republican lawmakers were aghast at his sudden lack of recollection of key events.
‘He didn’t seem to know that his own FBI was using No. 4 Justice Department official Bruce Ohr as a conduit to keep collecting intelligence from Christopher Steele after the British intel operative was fired by the bureau for leaking and lying. In fact, Comey didn’t seem to remember knowing that Steele had been terminated, according to sources in the room.
‘“His memory was so bad I feared he might not remember how to get out of the room after the interview,” one lawmaker quipped. Lamented another: “It was like he suddenly developed dementia or Alzheimer’s, after conveniently remembering enough facts to sell his book.”’
The Comey interview is jaw dropping, in your face, partisanship.
They can break the law, put our people in jeopardy, with impunity.
It MUST change.
On a lighter note, I’m absolutely amazed that FLOTUS found the perfect shoes to match that outfit!
Thanks! Glad somebody noticed that it IS FLOTUS Fashion Friday!!! 😉
Who knew you were such a fashionista, Wolfie 😊 I noticed Santa salivating in one of those photos as he glanced at our gorgeous First Lady 💖💖💖
And all those young patients made me a little teary. May God Bless them with His healing powers.
AMEN!!! 😀
He just likes looking at pics of her…..lol
LOL you left out FABULOUS! TY Wolfie, I love getting to gush over her a bit because we just don’t get much chance to do so. And we haven’t had anyone dress with such elegance since Jackie Kennedy and I was too young to appreciate her.
No, not fabulous. That is exclusively for use by the rainbow boyz.
Aren’t they gorgeous? They look like candy canes. What a fun outfit!
I see the shoes and smell peppermint…
Linda!! Candycane Shoes!! Me wants them! Adorable Classy Amazing FLOTUS!!
Aren’t they fabulous? I keep going back to look at them. They are gorgeous.
And (!!!!) it works for Valentine’s Day too!
wierd Pic… Do Not know how I feel about this…at the WH Christmas Party tonite…
Exit loves company – even if for different reasons. Been there! It’s like being a veteran of a campaign. There’s a bond, even if you never met.
I like it 😊
General Kelly looks very happy, and I am happy for him. He’s got to be relieved knowing his WH duty is coming to an end. CofStaff has gotta be a very stressful – and physically exhausting – position, and I am grateful for his service. He and his family have given the ultimate sacrifice, losing his son during deployment, and yet he stepped up again when asked by President Trump.
I wish General Kelly all the best.
Definitely!
Alison! Thank you! And You are right! Beautiful Post! I like it too!
For the record—Reince is a bit of a dork— and totally in over his head–but ..SMH…I Liked him. Still do..
Can’t agree with that one, Marica – there is a reason he, RINO Ryan and Walker are known as the Wisconsin Mafia!
Filly–things that make ya go hmmmm. I guess it’s just the squishy side of me that has a hard time reconciling my old views (like GWB was a “good guy”) with what I know now…
*sigh* Oh, I know what you mean. A huge part of me just doesn’t want to believe how truly evil people can be. I just cannot find it within me to empathize with them in any form, shape or fashion.
I like it too, I never saw General Kelly smile so YUGE! And you are right, he gave up a lot to serve our President and us (the citizens of this great country)!
My First Reaction to this pic is exactly what you posted. But in light of everything else…I got questions…
Hannity had some good stuff in his show this evening.
John Solomon, Gregg Jarrett and Sarah Carter talk about the phoney FBI-302 that was written up on Gen Flynn…seven months later.
This starts at the 16:00 mark.
Then at 24:11 he has Jim Jordan and Sharyl Attkisson on to talk about it.
And at 30:02 he has the rest of his interview with Flotus Melania.
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxm4yvHgLt8&w=560&h=315%5D
.
The whole show was actually pretty good.
Oh…and Solomon drops a Bombshell about a ‘secret document’ that contains evidence that will exonerate Gen Flynn.
That starts at the 19:19 mark.
That was interesting. Something that DIA has and John Solomon suspects PDJT doesn’t even know it exists. A Congressman saw it (hmm….) but couldn’t reveal the contents and DIA is hanging onto it hard but if only PDJT would declassify it it would exonerate Gen. Flynn.
At least, that’s what I remember hearing Solomon saying. Does that square with your recall, Wheatie?
Yep. You have it exact, Syl.
You have a post a 1:58 am and this one at 5:24 am. Do you sleep? Concerned you are not getting at least 2 hours let alone the 8 hours you should be getting. Stay healthy!
I’m actually a Russian bot…so I don’t need the sleep.
Haaaa.
Seriously, though, I am honored that you noticed my posting times and thank you for caring about my health.
I will get some sleep. I will.
But sometimes I can’t…so I just keep going till I can.
That was a BOMBshell Solomon dropped.
I was thinking….
If Flynn was Nat Sec Advisor, and he did not know he was being officially interviewed, of course, he would lie about certain things to regular FBI agents.
We will never know what was said, but even lil’ ole me sitting in flyover country, can imagine the situation. There would be a mountain range of info above the FBI agents classification.
I thought it was a bombshell, too. I really did. In fact, this whole latest Flynn thing with the judge demanding more information and so forth is all pretty darned interesting.
Yes and they were probably not talking in a WH SCIF. Articles said he was taking them on a WH tour.
Flynn will be exonerated by the end of next week.
Silly me. How have I not thought of this? I haven’t prayed about General Flynn. Now I will.
What a beautiful thing that would be to see General Flynn cleared. For him to be cleared, there are others that would suddenly be under the harsh spotlight for examination. Ah, transparency.
The juge has done this type of thing before. Always very late in the process too. Wouldn’t surprise me if the good General is back in the WH.
That would be the icing on the cake, wouldn’t it? Prayers up for General Flynn.
me too Syl. Hoping.
The whole Flynn thing…..
I was a HUGE believer in the Thomas Wictor theory, this from 9-10 months ago, that this was a total master spy job by Gen Flynn to insert himself into what “they” knew was going on and to introduce evidence to turn the SC investigation on to the real corruption from the previous Admin.
Thoughts/ recollections of that for those of you who followed him when he was assessable ?
I wish I could go back and read those pieces
I agree with this, and I think it goes to the Iran deal. Once the Ruskies did U1, they blackmailed the parties involved to do the Iran deal. Flynn threw everything he had into killing the Iran deal, and I think he learned what really happened in the process. That is why deepstate worked so hard to get him.
Being the smart guy he is, I think Flynn saw an opportunity when charged with a crime. Plead guilty and cooperate. This creates a two-for. He knows he was set up and can prove it, but before he does, he can provide evidence legally to assist in other investigations. Without being forced to tell all by the cooperation deal, he would have no mechanism to insert himself into the investigations.
And yes, it is plural. If you read the sentencing memo, Flynn provided assistance to (1) a criminal investigation, probably into the Clinton Foundation, (2) the SC investigation, and (3) some other investigation that is totally redacted.

Yes, it was good. It was worth watching. I even liked his monologue tonight and I usually use that to clean the kitchen or something. But I watched the whole thing tonight.
Sylvia! “..usually use that to clean the kitchen” LOLOLOL! Loved that!
Sara Carter’s new article on the Clinton Foundation hearing is pretty good.

Her timeline on Twitter is great! But her Illuminati pyramid child sacrifice beating heart temple picture…… boyohboyohboy!
Yeah, maybe she’s a runner on a health vacation, looking forward to running up the steps. But still. Wondering if it’s a prop to get interviews and scoops from the bloodsuckers. 😉
Yeah, that looks like the Chichen Itza pyramid.
http://www.mytripolog.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/ancient-mayan-pyramid-kukulkan-chichen-itza.jpg
.
I have no idea why she’s got that as the header for her twatter account.
It’s a flat-topped Mayan pyramid, though…so it’s different from the Illuminaughty all-seeing-eye-pyramid.
Heheh.
She’s been a world traveler, doing freelance work all over the globe.
So maybe she had an epiphany when she visited that Chichen Itza pyramid?
I dunno.
looking at this pyramid–esp in your pic wheatie–I get why wolfie said “child sacrifice” It gave me cold chills!
Ive been there. Mexucans still wint admit, generally, that they did that. Despite proof.
Chichen Itza… rhymes with:
Pizza. And chicken…
And at the top, a Paedosta-stuhl (pedestal)…
Oops, worse, a Pedo-stuhl… (stuhl being seat or altar in this case)…
Many years ago, when they would still let you do it, I climbed to the top of Chichen Itza.
Coming down is still the scariest thing I ever did.
Thanks Wheatie, that was great.
Grrr….she needs a better writer! SMH
I read with great sadness that Admiral James Lyons, (Ret) passed away yesterday. The only place I saw it was Canada Free Press. Sorry, I can’t link but it is there now by Judy McLeod. He will be missed greatly.
Admiral Lyons was a hero…and an outspoken truth-teller about the danger of Islam.

“Islam is a political movement, masquerading as a religion.”

RIP, Admiral.
Godspeed…very bright man at advanced years….sad to see him pass.
Sally– Sad on both counts–Admiral Lyons passing & only reported in Canada….What is WRONG with this American Press. “land of the free?” SPIT!
In keeping with Flotus Fashion Friday…
I love this Coat that she wore…it reminds me of candy-cane-chrunchies like you would see on top of cookies or something.
.
And the Shoes that she matched to it, are an inspired choice as well:
Love this picture too…from her visit to the Carrier:
.
On her visit to the Carrier and to Joint Base Langley, she wore a sort of ‘combat chic’ outfit.
A cashmere-wool blend Derek Lam navy peacoat featuring subtle embroidery details…paired with JBrand high rise leather skinny pants and a pair of black leather combat boots:
I think she is the first FLOTUS to land on an aircraft carrier. And she looked awesome!
I know you like her hair but I don’t – to me, it just looks too fake. I prefer more of the rich brown showing through, like Trish Regan’s hair and the way FLOTUS used to have it. JMO tho.
Very curious what her natural color is at this point! Maybe this IS closer to it!!!
Looks like the medium-to-dark brown:
These are so great! I love all of her looks… it’s nice to see her in black pants and shoes most ‘normies’ would wear. Even then, she is still as tall if not taller than the airman she standing next to in the bottom pic. Ah! She’s so classy!
She loves this stuff. You can’t fake that sort of joy. It comes from inside. Such a refreshing change from some of the stiffer women who have been in that role.
Good point. There was a post the other day that had a pic of her, just radiant. The song that came to mind was “I’ve Got That Joy, Joy, Joy, Joy Down In My Heart”…
(Now I’ve got the Cedarmont Kids singing in my head 🙂 )…
The only thing that always looks odd to me, on anyone, is bare legs in the winter. Sheer hose (a la Kate Middleton) with those stilettos would look so much more polished. (Reminder, I said in winter).)
.
But Africa is a money pit.
I don’t think there is any way to “prevail” there.
Let’s let China and Russia elbow each other getting positions in Africa…and sit back and watch them pour money into that money pit.
They will end up being hated for it.
I suspect that is how our VSG President views Africa, too.
And if so…then Bolton is just doing a head-fake, giving the appearance that we’re ‘interested’ so that China and Russia will want it even more.
😎
I was alarmed, though, when Lou talked about how China has muscled in on both ends of the Panama Canal. He’s talked about it a couple times now.
That cursed Jimmy the Fool Carter. What in the world he was thinking to give up our rights I am sure I don’t know. Unless he was a Commie, too. That I don’t know. I’ve just had him down as an utterly incompetent boob all these years, but any more I questions my assumptions.
Yeah, I don’t know why Carter gave up the Panama Canal.
But you’re right, he was a Fool…and made foolish decisions about everything.
But it’s turned out okay…because the Panama Canal is a money pit.
China has had to spend tons of money on maintenance and upgrading it for the larger, modern ships.
We don’t really need the Panama Canal as much as we used to.
With our trucking, rail and air cargo capabilities now…we can fill cargo ships and barges on either coast…and launch from US ports in each direction.
Lou should know this.
But he cannot stand Carter…so I think he just never passes up an opportunity to express it.
Heheh.
Thanks for the info on the Canal. I was not aware. But like Lou, I loathe Carter and am always happy to bash him.
But seriously, I always just assumed he was an idiot. Looking back now after the trauma of 8 years of BO I wonder. I briefly thought BO was a fool, too, but quickly began suspecting he was not incompetent he was just busy undermining the US. It has made me wonder a bit about Carter, but I have nothing but my own awakened sense of suspicion behind that consideration.
Well Carter was a founding member of the ‘Hate America First’ crowd.
He always put other countries interests ahead of our own.
Always.
And yeah…Hussein was on a mission.
A mission to destroy this country.
It wasn’t “incompetence”.
Not. ever.
He did it all on purpose.
HusseinO is like the mean kid who would push someone down the stairs and then say…”Ooops”.
JMO but I think O.B.A.M.A. was simply a smooth-talking puppet with his every string being directed by ValJar at the behest of the Iranians, Islamists and the globalists combined.
One data point for you to add to your consideration of Carter. He established the Federal Department of Education.
Oh brother. He would have done better to spend more time running the schedule for the WH tennis courts than establishing monstrosities like the Dept of Ed. Teeth gnashing here.
That’s another strike against Pres. Carter. Definitely one of the worst presidents we’ve ever had.
Strategically, it would have been a better move to hang on to the Panama Canal. I think the Chinese went after the Suez Canal also.
Cargo transportation…there’s only four cities in the country that have the full array of multi-modal cross country transportation conduits. Yes, Los Angeles is one, but two are in the middle of the country. The other one I honestly don’t remember but I want to say Philadelphia or maybe Houston. Both have huge ports. It’s been a while since I was in the middle of the hub theory stuff.
That being said, our rail capability is not nearly as robust as it could be. Take out one specific bridge and it’s dead in the water. Literally. And barge traffic would stop on the backbone because it would be blocked.
Yes, these are the things I think about at three in the morning.
Our rail system hasn’t been used to capacity for quite a while.
I have stumbled upon videos from ‘rail watchers’ that show hundreds of cargo cars in storage…rowed up and parked on switchbacks in dry desert areas.
When we stopped building things, I guess our rail system stopped being used as much.
A bridge goes out?
That cargo could be trucked around or diverted to other rail routes.
We can still *use* the Panama Canal.
Our ships and barges can go through it…as customers.
We just don’t have to pay the big bucks for the upkeep of it.
I’m trying to envision transferring raw coal from a two mile long train onto trucks that would have to be pulled in from just about everywhere, ignoring other cargo, to ensure just in time delivery to the power plants on the east side of the river. I mean those trains are, what 2-3 times a day. And that doesn’t address barge traffic being stopped. Droughts are bad enough. In some spots the rivers have to be dredged, and traffic goes down to single file.
Trucking simply does not have the same capacity at the same cost.
Plus, a lot of the old rail system has been pulled up, not just abandoned. And there never was a good way to get to Cincinnati.
On the Panama Canal we are not going to agree. I see it as a national security issue, not one of commerce.
Coal and other raw materials, are not perishables.
So there wouldn’t be an urgency to get those moved quickly, other than to fill orders.
Perishable cargo would have another set of problems.
When there is trouble on a section of track…they usually bring in more engine cars and hook on at the rear…then take them back to where they can connect to other lines, then go around the troubled area.
It’s not the end of the world.
We Americans tend to have a can-do attitude and solve those problems when they come up.
I’ve seen dump trucks hauling coal, gravel and all sorts of things:
I don’t see how us having the Panama Canal would help with the problems you are concerned about.
Sorry.
I’m just not seeing it.
I’m not going to argue about it because living in the middle of one of the big transportation hubs, believe it or not, I can see all sorts of pitfalls from the way the plants are designed to take delivery to the reality that the next closest rail bridge is at least a hundred miles away. Actual track and transferring is the least of it. That’s part of the reason, I would imagine, that the long trains have 2-3 engines at both ends,
And that doesn’t touch several other details.
You bring up perishables. I was thinking about that at the grocery store this morning. We have this section of track known as “Produce Row” where the perishables DO come in from the west. Reworking that would take an awful lot of refers.
Gosh, I havent’ been down there in years.
I think Wheatie is failing to see the danger of the Canal being closed completely by Iran if they have total control. Which would, no doubt, result in war, ergo national security.
Yep. Glad someone else sees it.
Yep. Many years ago when they went to CTC, they figured they could go to single-track (or at most double), where double (or more) track was in use. The obvious problem, aside from halving (or worse) the peak capacity, was taking away the redundancy the extra track(s) provided.
We’re having a terrible time with that sort of liberal idiocy here in Germany. Down in Stuttgart they’re replacing the main train station, currently a “head” station, with a “through” station, with about 1/3 the capacity, fewer tracks, and, naturally, less capacity and redundancy. All so they can shorten the ICE (high-speed) trip from Stuttgart to Ulm by 30 minutes, and free up the land (that no one wants now) for non-existent or bankrupt businesses to build on (thanks to Merde-kel’s and the Greens’ destruction of our economy).
Oh, and it’s all going to be underground. What could possibly go wrong? (Other than cost overruns, construction problems (water table issues, anyone?), delays, etc., etc.)…
Because David Rockefeller and the boys/girls of the Trilateral Commission wanted it. It fit their future globalist plans. Carter wouldn’t pee without consulting Rockefeller and Brzezinski!!!
Brezhinski was one dangerous POS, selling future-synthesis Sovietism under capitalist branding (a.k.a. “globalism”.
There are days I think that Carter’s sub was captured by the Soviets and he was MK’ed. The man was just an extraordinary dupe. Seriously, I think it was through American churches. I’m shocked at how much Soviet influence one sees there. It’s all re-branded, but it’s all there.
Agree, Wolfie!!! No better place to disrupt the American system than through what I refer to as the institutional church!
“For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into angel of light.” (2Cor. 11:13-14; NKJV)
and notice his daughter is now mr. joe scarborough!
Look up Emerson Fosdick, Rockefeller, and the National Council of Churches/World Council of Churches. They redefined mainline Christianity as “Fundamentalist”, thereby moving the entire scope to the left (having deceptively added a segment on the right). This became the “social justice gospel” which, not surprisingly, has no Biblical background. The “social” gospel they promote is SOCIALIST, not social.
Contrast that to the Epistles of Paul, and the Words of Jesus.
Sad to say, many folks think the Southern Baptists are dyed-in-the-wool, Bible-believing, (Ultra-)conservative Christians. Unfortunately, most of them (like Carter, Bubba, et. al.) have had that wool pulled over their eyes…
There were lots of these movements in the late 1800s and early 1900s. The school system also got hit by Dewey and Mann (might just as well have been Dewey, Cheatham, and Howe…, because theydid)…
(In a past, erm, Avatar, I managed to get banned from not-so-Breitbart by saying the watered-down, no-longer-a-Christian-Church Church of England had become a church of Satan by not only allowing but ENDORSING various perversions, quoting as well Revelation 2:9 and 3:9 due to the rampant Anti-Semitism there. Apparently the truth was too much for them…).
Dewey, Cheatum, and Howe—Johnny Carson’s tax consultant!!! Lol!!!
Cuppa, love this post, and so true about the social justice not being biblical. Will say think there are a few believers in isolated parts of SBC and C of E, but do think they will have to leave eventually and they would be experiencing persecution fom within their demominations. I just dislike denominations in general as I think they always degenerate in this way. I watched social justice swallow up the Methodist church over 50 years ago. It was sad, it takes the place of the true gospel of Jesus Christ.
Pete and Wolfmoon, I agree on all counts.
And wheatie, you’ve probably heard Dobbs has been talking about South America and the Russia and Chinese influence that is muscling in down there. Apparently that idiot John F’n Kerry said we were no longer going to hold to the Monroe Doctrine and now the hemisphere is lousy with Commies again/still.
Given the whole Caravan thing and the Cloward-Piven flavor of that, and the news that this Caravan organizer is some Honduran terrorist who blew up a Chinese food joint and killed American servicemen in the 80s, AND the demands of the caravaners for 50k each and the extradition of their Honduran president and they will return home (because the US owes all of this to them because we stole from Honduras)…well, this whole thing has the stink of a really big Commie plot. From our stateside US Marxists in the NGOs and churches, the Soros money, the Central American lefties. Yuck. The entire stew is a nauseating mess.
Oh yeah, definitely.
None of it would pass the scratch-&-sniff test.
Sylvia, thank you.
Yes, the old Cloward-Piven plan!!! Obama was totally onboard with that communist plan, and that bitch Hillary would have finished it if elected. I use the “b” word selectively, and Hillary defines the term!
Thee are good bitches all over the world. You can ID them by their tails. Bad bitches don’t have tails.
I would agree here, and let them deal with the tin pot dictators and the South Africans, except for the access to some natural resources. Africa, other than diamonds and chocolate (Ghana), is not as tapped out as Russia and China. Those commodities might be what they are eyeing.
We will still buy those commodities…just like we can now.
And without pouring money into those places to help them ‘develop’ them.
We can just sit back and be customers.
Seven-year-old Guatemalan girl dies in Border Patrol custody (excerpted):
https://apnews.com/b3c252eca7b64a7aa254aa47fcf12cb8
‘LAS CRUCES, N.M. (AP) — A 7-year-old girl who crossed the U.S.-Mexico border with her father last week died after being taken into the custody of the U.S. Border Patrol, federal immigration authorities confirmed Thursday.
‘The Washington Post reports the girl died of dehydration and shock more than eight hours after she was arrested by agents near Lordsburg, New Mexico. The girl was from Guatemala and was traveling with a group of 163 people who approached agents to turn themselves in on Dec. 6.
‘It’s unknown what happened to the girl during the eight hours before she started having seizures and was flown to an El Paso hospital.
‘In a statement, Customs and Border Protection said the girl had not eaten or consumed water in several days.
‘The agency did not provide The Associated Press with the statement it gave to the Post, despite repeated requests.’
Lordsburg, NM is about 75 miles north of the border.
But given the wide-open nature of the border along the NM stretch…it’s not hard to see how a “group of 163 people” could walk right in there.
It’s a shame that the little girl died, but that’s on her father.
If he really *is* her father.
She would’ve had to have been denied food and water before our BP agents took them in.
Agree with all your points, wheatie. Thank you.
Apparently she had been without food and water even before they crossed into the US.
Tragic. But as you say, not our fault.
One would think that at least ONE person within that group of 163 could have pointed this out to one of the agents, no? I mean, really? What a disgusting turn of events!!!!
obviously they will try and get manslaughter charges against trump and we need open borders or more little children will be ripped from mothers breasts and some will die! if it isnt clear to everyone little guatemalan children and visa’d foreigners like kashoggi are more important than citizens of our own country… shame on us!
Hi all…makes me wonder cause I’m a perpetually suspicious cat…was this child a designated sacrifice? How dose a child not receive water and food? Were there others falling out from the same lack of water? Did she have a preexisting condition? I find it very hard to believe that there wasn’t a water fountain at the very least in the detention center.
These people needed a victim or they had so little regard for the children in their group that caused her death, not the USA. I put nothing past these “migrant” leaders/coyotes/etc
And PS~ again thanks for all the comments and literal brilliance on all the threads here. Most of the time I read with my jaw hanging open..hoping to understand the details.
Excellent points, well made.
Yes, these people need a victim.
Pre-made (i.e. deprived of water along the way)? If so, how ghastly — especially for a child.
She rests with God now, fortunately.
It looks really fishy to me, someone wanting to give the gov a black eye. I suspect either she was deliberately sacrificed as you suggest, or the damage was already done before they were detained. Either way, the press is doing everything possible to portray it in the worst possible light for our government agencies. You can’t tell me there isn’t food and water at the detention centers.
Well this sounds like good news:
That IS good. Huh. Wonder how Pompeo did that.
If WIkipoo is to be believed, there are 16 of these. We have over 60 B-1s. The Tu-160 is quite a bit larger and thus I’d figure it has a greater payload.
I like to think that we’ve got things that Wikipoo doesn’t know about.
Because ‘something’ has been leaving these “donuts-on-a-rope” contrails it the skies, for about 2 decades now:

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3594/4562870513_9d48c0ddc9.jpg
.
I’ve actually seen these strange-looking contrails…once, early in the morning at first light.
Looked like they’d been drifting for awhile, so they were done in the dark.
There has been talk of us having a plane with Pulse Detonation Engines…called the Aurora.
I hope it’s true.
Like I said, something has been pumping out those donuts-on-a-rope contrails.
And the govt remains mum about what it is.
Back in 1964 we had a bomber prototype, the XB-70 Valkyrie, that was capable of cruising at Mach 3 (and who knows how fast it could go for short periods of time). You can still see one of the two of them at the Air Museum in Dayton. (The other was destroyed by a mid air collision with a chase plane, if I recall correctly.) This bomber scared the crap out of the Soviets–they couldn’t even think of intercepting it–but we switched doctrines from high altitude bombing to low altitude bombing at that time and the XB-70 never became the B-70. (The Tu-160 was (again according to wikipoo) their response to the XB-70.)
Aviation Leak (and Space Technology) was yapping about the Aurora in the early 90s. Even back then my attitude was there’s simply NO way we haven’t improved on the Valkyrie in 25 (now over 50!) years.
PDJT cancels a WH press Christmas party:
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-cancels-white-house-christmas-party-for-the-press
However, there is at least one other, to which Howie Carr (among others) is invited. He was saying on his show yesterday that he bought a new suit for the occasion. Whether that is for Trump-friendly media or Trump-friendly luminaries, I do not know.
The WH has several Christmas Parties throughout the season.
And they are free to invite a variety of guests, from all walks of life.
I love it that they cancelled the party-for-the-press.
Most of them are barely even housebroken and do not deserve their own party…especially Not at taxpayer expense.
Let them pay for their own party. 😈
YES x1000!!
Tallahassee officials indicted — 44 counts. Issues came to light during Gillum’s run for governor, SD says:
https://eu.tallahassee.com/story/news/local/fbi/2018/12/12/scott-maddox-indicted-paige-carter-smith-corruption-charges-fbi-investigation-city-hall/2294099002/
‘Scott Maddox and Paige Carter-Smith, once power players in Tallahassee’s political scene, shuffled into a federal courtroom on Wednesday, their legs in shackles, to answer charges they shook down city vendors for bribes and pocketed hundreds of thousands of dollars.
‘A federal grand jury on Tuesday indicted Maddox, a longtime city commissioner and former “boy mayor,” and Carter-Smith, his longtime friend and business partner, in a pay-to-play scheme that included bank fraud, extortion, bribery, making false statements and filing false tax returns. The indictment was unsealed Wednesday after the FBI arrested them both.
‘The 44-count indictment led to immediate fallout at City Hall. Gov. Rick Scott suspended Maddox from office, saying in an executive order that doing so was “in the best interests of the residents of the city of Tallahassee and the citizens of the state of Florida.” The city has 20 days to fill the vacancy or let the governor make the appointment.
‘Carter-Smith signaled she would resign her post as executive director of the Downtown Improvement Authority …’
New IG report says Strzok and Page’s phones reset after their SC involvement. Procedures followed:
the IG report on that was interesting…IG requested the phones I/24/18. SCO couldn’t find Page’s phone till early September, but when they did they determined it was reset to factory settings 7/31/17. it hadn’t been reissued to anyone–so where was it hiding exactly?
Harris Faulkner (Fox News) interviews PDJT (I have bookmarked for later):
Eric Bolling was at a WH Christmas Party.
I’m glad. Poor guy. He’s had a rough go of things. I hope things are improving for him.
Me too.
I always like Eric…he’s a good guy.
I think he was set up, on those phone pics.
Someone sent him dick-pics and then turned him in.
Yeah, I was pretty suspicious of it myself.
PDJT meets with governors-elect:
https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/remarks-president-trump-meeting-governors-elect/
That’s our New Governor, Kevin Stitt, at the 1:36 mark.
He’s a businessman, like our VSG Potus…and not a politician.
The Dems here went all in on a smear campaign against him, but he won by a sizeable margin.
I went to Wiki to look him up out of curiosity and was AMAZED to find out:
“He is the first Native American to be elected to a governorship in the United States.”
He was not lesbian, transgender or muslim, so Stitt’s “first” does not count.
Cherokee descendant! 😀
Yes, was worried Stitt might not be our governor of Oklahoma, running against long time Dem political family the Edmondsons. I’m a member of the Cherokee Nation, and proud to have a fellow businessman Cherokee as governor!
Very cool! 😎
PDJT points out Dem hypocrisy — O and Hillary, at one point, both wanted tough borders:
Polls from November:

And those are CNN polls, too.
You can bet they had their thumb on the results.
Those AZ results are just further indication of the amount of vote-fraud that went on there.
Precisely.
Looks like Eric Bolling was at the WH on Wednesday, too.
.
Apparently he got a one-on-one with Pres Trump, but has rescheduled showing it.
Full view of those pics that got truncated:
Great photos, wheatie! Thanks for posting.
You’re very welcome…glad you liked them.

I thought they were nice enough to pull out post the full views.
Imagine how they must look in person. Wow.
loved these wheetie!! Thanks and Good Morning!!!
You’re very welcome, Marica!

Stephen Miller weighs in on border wall fight
Dec. 13, 2018 – 8:46 – President Trump not backing down in fight for border wall funding; White House senior policy adviser Stephen Miller reacts.

Thanks for the YouTube link! Greatly appreciated.
My pleasure!
I love me some Stephen Miller.
Heheh.
Worth watching. Stephen Miller is an effective spokesman for the Trump Admin. He debunks “fact checkers” who insist The Wall isn’t being built.
Ah, I see he had some training with a body language specialist – no more tic!
SD takes veiled hit at Q supporters on D13 testimony thread:
‘… the hearing is being framed by the ‘tick-tock-boom club‘ as something it was not …
‘Part of John Solomon’s research effort involved sharing the material with Representative Mark Meadows who chairs a sub-committee within the oversight committee that might have jurisdiction on tangentially related matters of government corruption.
‘Against the backdrop of several years of questions and suspicions around the sketchy Clinton finances, representative Mark Meadows recognized the political value of the research in addition to the factual concerns that might possibly be present.
‘Additionally, in the background of the timing; during the period when the IRS received the material from Monynihan and Doyle; there was presumably an investigation started into the Foundation opened by the Jeff Sessions DOJ through U.S. Attorney John Huber. So Representative Meadows called a hearing to overlap inquiry about a DOJ investigation into the Foundation with testimony from Mr. Doyle and Mr. Monynihan.
‘Summary: Two guys did extensive research into the Clinton Foundation and believe they have found tax violations. If correct the financial bounty hunters would gain millions. The IRS looked at the material and disagreed. The two guys then turned to John Solomon; who in turn went to Mark Meadows; and against the possibility of an open DOJ investigation of Clinton, Meadows scheduled a hearing. That hearing is what took place today.’
To which someone says:
‘Miller says:
December 14, 2018 at 3:50 am
‘Your as bad as Q Sundance. What’s your point?’
churchmouse, ya beat me to it! I dipped in [over there] to see any analysis and the post you put of really caught my eye. Especially the, “‘… the hearing is being framed by the ‘tick-tock-boom club‘ as something it was not …” line. He just can’t give it up.
OTH, he did make a valid point about what looks like “bounty hunters” rather than “whistle blowers” in the IRS part. That, to me, is very interesting.
W – any thoughts???
Whether they are whistle blowers or bounty hunters depends on your views on whether private citizens should do the work they did for free or get paid for it. I personally am in favor of paying people for revealing really complex tax frauds.
Me, too. I had never heard of anything like this before, but I thought what an interesting business model it was. I wonder if it is effective? If must be, otherwise why would they do it and how could they possibly fund these extensive investigations if they didn’t have a nice pot of cash from a successful “bounty hunt” to pay the bills?
Sundance has a point! He has a valid perspective here. There has been all kinds of confusion, and one REALLY does need to get granular on what this means. Sorry if people don’t like that, but we have to be realists.
These guys are NOT the same as the other “whistleblowers” such as Nate Cain. And because some of the “whistleblowers” are shrouded in mystery, it’s hard to tell what they have. We know more about Nate Cain, who is coming at this more from the Robert Mueller / Uranium One / cover-up angle, and now we see that D&M are more from the Peter Schweitzer financial angle.
Huber is an unknown. Little Rock FO is an unknown. Anybody who has ever dealt with the financial world knows how much of a SCAM overblown expectations can be. There are people, some of whom are beautiful women and starchy-haired men, who SELL overblown expectations.
This is a slow game. We keep seeing people saying “checkmate on next move”. NOT REALITY.
Sundance and I may have *slight* differences on the probable outcome of the game, but we are both looking long-game.
I mean, SD has Sara “Pyramid Hottie” Carter absolutely NAILED in my opinion. She is a cheerleader for our side, but she is a cheerleader. And every day she goes back more and more into her older mode.
I try to be a happy realist. Sundance is a more dour realist. But realism is where it’s at, if you want to see where the game is actually going, and what the RISKS are.
Read Q *conservatively*. THAT is why I follow Q – because I CAN and DO read him conservatively.
Good points. So many folks want everything “done yesterday” (and I dealt with a LOT of that in the world of biz IT and project/product management). And of course, “Scope Shift” (“The Mythical Man Month” comes to mind…).
Then there’s the information/disinformation tactics which often have us running down a MADhouse hall of mirrors, no smoking allowed… (no smocking either – I’m looking at you, Paedosta &co.)….
Here’s hoping and praying that Huber, and all the rest nail the perps, drain the swamp, and clean up the rest (residue). Oh, and that we here in Germany (and the rest of Europe) can get a few REAL MEN as leaders who are like VSGPDJT.
“The Mythical Man Month” !
An old favorite!
saw that…and I admit I giggled…
Me, too.
Sometimes they’re just barking (mad)
That’s hilarious!
Thanks for the laugh — much needed!
Monynihan and Doyle basically called the Clinton Foundation a fake charity.
And I doubt that Sd will ever admit that he was wrong about Q.
I wish SD would just simplify everything. You encapsulated the issue in one sentence.
No, even if there are more proofs of Q in future, he will never admit it.
It was extremely rare for me to be able to finish reading one of his posts, and when I did, I oft-times thought, “was that all he was trying to say?”
Of course there were other times he did say something new to me but even then…Geez Louise he dragged it out.
And we still aren’t really sure what he was saying.
The writing style over there is opaque, partly because Sundance is a poor writer, and partly because Sundance uses insinuation so much.
Insinuation is valuable in making non-prediction predictions. If you are “right” you can take credit, and if you are “wrong” you can just move on without having to address a failed prediction which you wouls have had to do, had it been made explicitly.
Insinuation is also valuable in character assassination. Example: Sundance insinuated that Sessions was a traitor by frequently posting the picture of Colonel Nicholson (Bridge on the River Kwai) next to a picture of Sessions. Sessions was taking orders from the enemy and following them meticulously, according to this insinuation.
But never having STATED that proposition explicitly, Sundance is free to say “I never called Sessions a traitor,” which is literally true.
Sundance is a brilliant analyzer and a good human being. There is no doubt in my mind about that.
Flaws are part of human nature, and in dealing with others (IMO) the critical factor is what a person intends.
There is a whole lot of flawed behavior short of intent which is a function of immaturity, stress, lack of experience, lack of fatherly counsel/authority, peer pressure, and desperate calculation.
At some time or another we all wish for such an understanding of our behavior.
I agree and hope others will be charitable with my flaws. That said, I would be a little more understanding toward SD were he to once in a while admit to his.
“But never having STATED that proposition explicitly, Sundance is free to say “I never called Sessions a traitor,” which is literally true.
Sundance is a brilliant analyzer and a good human being. There is no doubt in my mind about that.”
If what you post above is accurate then I would disagree. I do not consider character assassination as typical qualities found in a good human being. If he is under unknown pressures, it may explain his behavior but it does not excuse it. Then again I could be wrong.
Nailed it.
Even though I was NOT a Sessions fan from a year ago at this time — December 2017 — I did find the Bridge on the River Kwai photo a bit over the top.
Well, most of us here at the Q Tree probably know what our flaws are. It is a joy to see people apologise because they had a bad day and made some obtuse comments. That would never fly Over There.
I wonder how great an analyst SD really is. We cannot be correct about everything, because of inherently flawed human nature, but has he ever admitted he’s wrong? No, not really. He changes position and that’s it.
I see that Lucianne is on his blog roll. Seems he took a few pages out of her notebook, especially in what he will tolerate and what he won’t.
I admit I didn’t question SD’s conclusions much because I did not always follow his train of thought. And there’s always that fear of reprisal–SD is a genius–what do you know? kind of thing…
but I would venture to guess there were many of us who did not always get it.
Even with Wolf–he is much better at explaining imo–but he lived and lives this stuff…I read it but for all intents and purposes I am relatively shielded from the underbelly of the beast–in my own little world.
and keeping the explanations vague allows SD to say WE drew the wrong the conclusion from his words…
A lot of times, I’d have to read a lot comments before I’d get to where someone actually addressed what SD was saying. It finally occurred to me that was because no one else understood what he was talking about, either.
Look, obviously I don’t mean every article. Some of his are written so that you can actually read and grasp what is going on, but a lot of them left me with a big question mark over my head.
To the extent that I gave it any thought before now, I guess I chalked it up to his writing style. I would fume that he needed an editor to prune away excess verbiage, sharpen the sentence structure, and punctuate clearly.
Now, though, I can see where certainly some of it was deliberately vague.
You got our former host pegged 100%, Pat!
And that is the audience he wants. Even today, there are people on there praising him for his genius and his incomparable insights.
Sorry, but it does not seem right for the same person to go all religious (e.g. Open Thread intro). Another ruse? I think we should be told.
I thought it was just me. I’d get to the end and go, “what did he just say?”
I’ve done that many a time Over There.
Glad to see I wasn’t alone.
Not only does SD drag on and on, he’s using the same imagery and words over and over and over and over again. Backdrop? What, like, is he a community theater guru now?
Honestly, the guy needs creative writing and content editing help.
So does whoever writes for Sara Carter! SMH – poor sentence structure and punctuation, lack of continuity, lack of clarity, poor use of tense…..same at BB….drives me nuts! Actually, I have found SD to be better than most on a structural basis but yes, there is a lot of insinuation in his writing and a lot of protective, self-serving CYA.
No joke.
SD was the oracle and then Q showed up. Maybe the whole thing simply comes down to ego?
I’ve wondered the same thing, Holley.
It’s my very strong suspicion, Wheatie, and that’s largely because I note how he treated people who disagreed with him and had good arguments to back up their point.
Yup. Exactly so.
SD is responding more frequently to posters (it seems to me) and is being very snarky about it…
either the person is under duress or it’s a different person…jmho
Possible…but it’s also possible the character flaw above has boxed him into a corner (since he’s wrong about something very prominent this time) and, being cornered, he’s lashing out.
Could also explain why some who posted here were then banned “over there”.
With Q there’s no need for granular details and deep weeds.
More imagery that is amazingly overused.
SD isn’t the only one. There are other online personalities who claim insider information who do not care to be one in a crowd. It’s their selling point. Challenge that, and their authority is undermined.
Ahhh yes, excellent point. Q diminished the SD brand.
In a sense, Sundance was doing the Q thing before Q, and Q DID supplant Sundance in that respect.
Plus, and I think this bears very much on the ego issue, Sundance truly WAS the sole person unraveling the corruption in our government, and he was doing it brilliantly, meticulously and scrupulously, connecting obscure facts in awesome analysis.
For a long while, it looked like Sundance was going to get much deserved credit for being The Guy who figured it all out. And in my mind, Sundance DOES deserve much, much credit. Now, Q gets credit for helping us to figure it out on our own.
And the corruption has had background consequences far beyond what anyone would have anticipated. Moves and countermoves take place daily, apparently, and all we can see is the external intrigue. In that sense, the story has surpassed Sundance.
If Q is a LARP, then all Q has done is to out-Sundance Sundance. If Q is (as I believe) connected to Trump, then Q has an advantage Sundance does not have.
The knowledge casually displayed daily by the posters on this site is a very humbling experience. So many people know so much valuable stuff, and it is at their fingertips.
One more advantage Q has over Sundance: hope.
My personal belief is that we are in a war for the survival of America. It is a very peculiar war because so much of it is hidden from us, and covered in confusion by ALL the inside participants.
So patriots are left to hope, to be optimistic, to have confidence in the ONLY person who counts, Trump. If Trump wins, we win.
Q offers hope, and a vision of victory in war. I WANT that victory to be true, and understand that humans beings will believe something to be true because they want it to be true. So be it, I choose hope and victory.
We are up on a high wire, flanked by life and the funeral pyre.
I pray for the courageous folks like Sundance who are (IMO) in danger every day for fighting the good fight so publicly and cogently. It is all too obvious Satan has made a list and is checking it twice, finding out who his death-eating apparatchiki should destroy.
We are looking through a glass darkly. As we wait to find out the details of what is going to happen to us, hope, optimism, confidence, mutual affection and respect are the best options.
Very nice Tonawanda! I have these same thoughts, but can’t organize them into such an eloquent post like this. Much appreciated.
Ditto!
MAGA is for everyone….q or not. We are in a hopeful place. Happy warriors need apply!
Tonawanda!! What an absolutely Beautiful and Awe-inspiring Post! You couldn’t have stated my position (and I would posit, most people here) any better–Thank you for that thoughtful, hope-filled and thorough post!! God Bless you!!
Outstanding overview, truly! I cannot get away from the belief that SD was served with a NSL. At this point, that makes the most sense to me. As Wolfie has said more than once – it may well have been a kindness that was done to those of us on the Banned Wagon.
I think Sundance was doing a kindness.
Nailed it, again.
“My personal belief is that we are in a war for the survival of America. It is a very peculiar war because so much of it is hidden from us, and covered in confusion by ALL the inside participants.”
In my view, it isn’t just the survival of America but mankind. This is one last play for all the marbles. If America goes, it is lights out. It is like WW2 in that way. It was so much bigger than the US but we were crucial to stopping the takeover of the world.
“We are up on a high wire, flanked by life and the funeral pyre.”
To which I say:
One side’s hate and one is hope
But the tophat on my head is all you see
SA, we may as well divulge for those who might be wondering:
I love Leon Russell. I have no idea why, but I have been transfixed from the first time I heard his rather unusual voice.
And he writes some great songs.
“One more advantage Q has over Sundance: hope.”
Tonawanda, you nailed it for me in one sentence. Without hope, all seems lost. We need to feel positive, that something is being done. And, that there is something WE can do. Q gives us that.
“These are the times that try men’s souls: The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.”
I love these words. Without hope, how can we ever stand?
AMEN!
Because I know that SD knows that (I saved every one of his rally-the-patriots memes), I can only draw one conclusion.
RUN, PATRIOTS, RUN. 😉
We have our orders!
Per SD: “Two guys did extensive research into the Clinton Foundation and believe they have found tax violations. If correct the financial bounty hunters would gain millions. The IRS looked at the material and disagreed. The two guys then turned to John Solomon; who in turn went to Mark Meadows; and against the possibility of an open DOJ investigation of Clinton, Meadows scheduled a hearing. That hearing is what took place today.’”
Well, okay. That is true. But there’s a bit more to the story and if SD were interested in accuracy I’d think he’d report that as well? Maybe he did, I didn’t go look at his post. Did he happen to mention that these guys, Doyle and Moynihan, had photos of the FBI loading boxes of CF documents onto an airplane? Did he discuss that Doyle and Moynihan believe there is an open FBI investigation on the CF and why?
The way SD puts it makes it sound like a trifling tax matter that these financial “Soldiers of Fortune” went sniffing around. It trivializes it, IMO.
i got that too–making it seem like a nothing burger as he is wont to do lately.
I wondered if what I witnessed here yesterday with the posters watching the hearing was the same hearing SD did…
there was excitement here–building to something coming–SD was like they’re financial bounty hunters…ho hum.
WHO CARES??? IF it brings down the Clintons, who cares about their motive? And since they did all the work, why shouldn’t they be compensated? that’s what the IRS allows for…
I would much rather be part of the “tick-tock boom club” than the “Eeyore, there-is-no plan, we are doomed Club” 😉 TIck-tock boom has a lot more hope, lot more personalities and lot more fun!!!
Absolutely, Marica!
😀
Well there’s that wild-eyed optimist with the name beginning with ‘M’, for one.
Oh.
Hi, Marica!! 😀
You bet!
I remember our former host used to insinuate, if not state, that Trump had a plan — albeit in hundreds more words. Now, not so much.
PDJT on Cohen:
Husband says this series of tweets about Cohen is very sophisticated, Pres is 100% accurate, and in a courtroom, Trump has no liability. “Advice of counsel” is fundamental.
For instance –
Patient asks Doctor to cut off his leg. Doctor does it. Doctor says, in his defense, “Well the patient told me to.”
No, that doesn’t work. Doctor is liable.
Thanks for that, daughn!
A commissioner on the election counsel says Trump has absolutely no liability. None.
Exactly.
Someone must shut the Dems up.
I’m glad you posted this, Churchmouse!
Such a good video…I had to watch it a second time.

Hypocrites.
The Left loves standards so much, they have two sets of them.
i love this…mind if I borrow it? Christmas is coming and I need party topics…
Go for it.
Another variation (which I actually started to type but changed my mind): “If it weren’t for double standards, the Left would have no standards at all.”
lol both worthy!!!!
They can do anything they want, can’t they?
Until and unless enought people call them on it, and (where illegal) imprison them for it.
It IS possible to bring down a leftist, just ask Dan Blather of the forged memo fame.
True, but that was nearly 30 years ago?
Between 20 and 30…closer to 20.
But I tend to agree: today, they’d likely cover for him.
Yes, they would.
The scary thought is: If they caught this many [and don’t get me wrong, this is a very praiseworthy accomplishment]…how many didn’t get caught? That’s got to be making some people very nervous.
Hey, Steve … read some of the mind numbing comments just to see the ‘flaying about’ of these morons (or, was that maroons?) … 😉
I was thinking the exact same things as you, Steve.

These guys are quite the cool customers.
What was not said in that clip is the Charles Ortel research that seems to be clear on one item. The Clinton Foundation was given a 501C3 by Lois Lerner.
The designation was supposedly only given for one presidential library with donations only coming from WITHIN Arkansas.
Think about that.
Lois Lerner allowed this 501C3 to metastasize into an international BLOB. EVERY donation outside of that original designation is illegal. The Clintons never amended their 501C3. And Lois allowed that to occur.
you all were talking yesterday about the original 501C3 being for a library–but i didn’t know about the “donations only coming from WITHIN Arkansas” part! WOW…
Excellent information. I had no idea.
I didn’t know that either, that the donations could only come from within Arkansas, NOR was I aware that it was Lois Lerner who hooked them up.
Also don’t forget that it was Lois Lerner who backdated the approval for the Barrack H. Obama Foundation…..on a Sunday, no less!
Things are getting HOT for Lois!
I certainly hope so!
Very interesting!
I’m not sure how a 501c3 determination can restrict from where the donations come. I’ve never seen one like that. But then, granting that status for a single capital asset project is not something that is normal, either. I mean, you have to have a mission statement with programs, and explain how you are going to accomplish the mission in the application.
The rules weren’t simply bent for the Clintons, they were twisted like a pretzel, and pretzels are supposed to be folded, praying arms.
Argh. People who work in non profit doing actual good should be royally insulted by this, but so many of them are leftists.
I cannot vouch for the information and this is not my wheelhouse…perhaps you know differently…
and I doubt the Clintons put global domination and wealth misappropriation in their mission statement…
Tax guy on OAN tonight said the same thing – said it was library only, Arkansas only, and people apparently just ignored it.
Assuming this info is accurate, this person does not know how the IRS works. I assume without looking it up that granting exempt status for a Presidential Library would be a routine matter. It makes sense that every outgoing President would do this and accordingly there is a cookie cutter procedure that enables a ruling granting exempt status. Exemptions are granted by a very small group within IRS based on representation of how the organization will operate. They are sought and granted before operations begin because any operations occurring before the grant of an exemption are taxable.
The important point here is that Lerner was not enforcement. Auditing is done by an entirely separate group within IRS. Lerner does not direct this group, and does not participate in their operations (except in the rare situation where the audit raises legal questions not directly addressed by the exemption documents).
RE: Panama Canal
Grab a cup of coffee and let this idea whirl around in your head. Warning, once you see it, you cannot let the idea go. About every 24 hours, every news cycle, a news item will remind you, if we HAD IT, the Trump Canal would solve the problem.
Here we go.
About 4 yrs ago, my son came up with the idea to build a Canal from Camp Pendleton, CA, to just south of Odessa/Midland, Texas, to pick up all the new oil/LNG sector, south to the Gulf of Mexico. Make it about a mile wide, 300-400 feet deep, with large bays (mini-cities) about every 10-15 miles for a breakdown. It would be the biggest Civil Works project since the Roman Aqueduct and similar to the Erie Canal – which created the cities of Chicago/Detroit/Duluth/Buffalo/Toronto.
At the bays, have salt water conversion facilities (like Israel), dumping fresh water into large reservoirs, with tentacles that could reach 100 miles. It would create a “bread basket” growing region 75 times the size of Simi Valley, or about the sq miles of the state of Texas. It would literally allow the USA to feed the world. And the left claims LACK of food is what creates global warming.
It would absolutely serve as a border (wall), impossible to tunnel under, and reduce border surveillance cost substantially because crossing would only be available at checkpoints every 10-15 miles.
The salt water conversion facilities in the state of California would be able to remove southern California water requirements from the rest of the state. San Diego and all of the LA Basin would have an unlimited water supply. Wow. That might solve a few problems.
Additionally, the Canal comes into Texas north of ElPaso, to pick up the new oil sector in west Texas. we could ship raw crude, or refined petrol, or LNG, by pipeline instead of trucking, saving transportation costs and increasing road/rail safety.
By avoiding the west coast, we create “ports” in the desert. When the west coast longshoremen went on strike, it cost the country about 70 billion and snarled traffic for MONTHS. THINK of the commerce/factories/manufacturing that would relocate close to the canal for ease of shipping.
By coming out at Camp Pendleton, we already create security for the canal. Equal base can be built/adopted on the Texas end. The Canal would be secure.
With such a canal, we save 16 days of shipping time on the route from China/Singapore to Houston, China/Singapore to NYC. By rail, it takes an average of 5 days to cross the country from LA to NYC, if we ship to Odessa, we cut the time by 2 1/2 days. That means a lime or lemon would be fresher AND the cost would be lower. Rail spurs from Kansas/Nebraska and the midwest would save ZILLIONS of dollars and time in transportation cost and increase the quality of food products – easing export or import.
Environmental – we place large commercial tankers into a canal with locks, instead of traveling through pristine Marine Parks. An oil spill in a lock, could be easily taken care of and cleaned up, whereas it is much more difficult to clean an oil spill in open water.
Saving days and weeks of shipping time reduces fuel requirements.
To build the canal, we’ve already check the endangered species in every single county the Canal would travel through. Any specie in any danger (at all) already exists in other parts of the state. Thus, we would not be eliminating any single environment.
Add to that, fresh water in a never-ending supply, would quell the concerns of the green folks.
Economic – Most wealth is created by taking from one entity and ‘redistributing’ the wealth to another entity. The Canal creates NEW wealth. Property values would soar. New cities would be created. It would be a BOOM.
Spirit – A canal project like the one above would dwarf projects like the Panama Canal, rail projects in Asia, the Ganges River Dam, etc. It’s the kind of thing only America can do. Emotionally, it would signal, “America is Back” and set countries like China on their heels.
Is it possible? We passed the idea through a few friends who are veterans of Army Corps of Engineers. Vicksburg has the Army facility with 2500 scientists and they control the Mississippi River Levees – similar to what the Canal would be. Immediately, they pulled maps, checked elevations, etc. Their eyes lit up and they began salivating. Yes, it is possible. We did extensive research on the building of the Erie Canal, funding, etc. It’s really just an engineering problem and the salt water conversion technology now exists. We even found a way to return the salt to the oceans in a responsible manner.
Cost – Who knows? But it can’t be more than a trillion dollars and the Dems/Repubs want to spend a trillion on infrastructure today. Why not get more bang for our buck? Water Boards/Commissions, created with such a project, would form a constant stream of revenue and the hydroelectric power generated from dumping water in locks would power the locks and perhaps, provide power to the new cities.
I sent the detailed plan to my Senator and to Candidate Trump. Fact is, I would have given it to Hillary had she been elected. It’s a good idea.
Good heavens, Daughn, your son must be a genius! That is the most audacious, huge, creative idea! WOW!
Your comment reminded me, Sylvia. He’s no freak genius, just blurted it out over Thanksgiving break, and then, we started thinking about it to see if it was viable.
I don’t know, I call that pretty darned genius. I am really in awe.
I’m still trying to process this. This is such a big, aspirational idea. I hope somehow it got to PDJT. What an amazing vision.
it sounds very well thought out…have you heard anything at all back?
maybe send it to the white house again?
I send it once a year, return receipt requested. Over time, we’ve added to it.
Governor Abbott of Texas would be an easy sell.
New Mex and Ariz would be easy.
California would be the problem, cuz they are California. Yet, the fresh water resource of the canal, I think, would overpower objections. Many times, California cities have tried desalination, but not big enough or bad tech. Israel now gets more than 55% of water from desalination. This is from 2016 https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/israel-proves-the-desalination-era-is-here/
well keep at it—sounds like a worthwhile project and satisfies so many needs!
Include a high speed rail terminal at Camp Pendleton and California will jump on board. It sounds like your son is a genuine American thinker. That project would certainly MAGA.
It’s the kind of project perfect for a builder President.
Interestingly, progress on the Erie Canal was slow —- until the USA allowed 5000 Scotch/Irish immigrants to come in and work on the project.
Sound familiar?
Those immigrants ended up settling Rochester/Buffalo/Erie/Cleveland.
The economic expansion would be mind boggling.
Quite an ambitious and amazing idea. I had always thought we would have earthquakes like the big one that changed landscape which allows water to take over new areas. This would be a good border, but you will have to take a lot of property from people, and it wouldnt be market rate. Also watch out for protected species along the corridor that arent the 2 legged kind.
Being a property owner in socal, if we still were able to keep it and thestate govt didnt try to take it would be amazing.
Camp Pendleton is the key. It gets the whole project in 20 miles from the coast (which is where the most expensive property is located. Run norun of Yuma, South of Tucson, north of El Paso, trying to avoid big cities but stay south of I-10.
Already checked all endangered/protected species.
Strange story.
In 1978, the Tellico Dam project was 95% complete when the Snail Darter was found, and the EPA deemed endangered. A “God Committee” was formed of Admin Agency Heads/Politicians to pass judgement to potentially kill out an endangered specie. The Committee voted to save the Snail, but Carter was under so much pressure in 1978, he decided to approve the project. Later on, the same Snail was found in 7 other rivers.
God Committee is an option but we’ve checked every county – no problem.
I think the snail darter is actually a fish.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snail_darter
Other than that, good point!
Daughn! This is SO good Wolfie could do an entire post on it! You have a whole family of geniuses!! Thank you for sharing this. Note to self…Bucket List: Meet Daughn’s family one day!
I can’t shake this idea Marica. It keeps coming back.
It might also lead to innovation in desalination technology.
I let my mind wander to a Canal from Mumbai to Delhi—— and the impact it would have.
Or Africa- wow –
In our southwest, we would get two growing seasons for a large area and never have to worry about drought. EVER.
Check your mail or notifications. You should be good to go to do a post on this idea. 😎
With great power comes great responsibility. Even though you are “just” an author, your post (not the comments) will be under your complete control and authorship.
If, at some point, I detect that your permission allowed the site to be hacked, I will have to back you out. Hopefully that will NOT be the case, but just fair warning. I have already encountered and removed one hackable widget, so WordPress is not perfect.
Enjoy! You can drop it whenever you want! 😀
Wolfie, did I do something wrong?
Did you get the invitation to post? Saying that you now have “author” permissions?
Oh crap, you scared the heck out of me. I thought I did something to reveal all of us and messed us all up. Having a heart attack here. Hang on.
Sorry. You know how I have this place locked down tight as a drum to keep the bad guys out. Opening up a second account to post articles is a risk. That’s why the warning. Being very careful here.
Weird stuff going on here. Did you get an invitation to post? Did you respond? Post means write articles. So you can do an article about this canal idea.
Just one sec, sorry.
Intercepting the invitation (MITM) is a trick I would expect from the other side. Just being careful. “This is not a game.”
Re-invited so it’s fresh in your notifications!
I just enabled Daughn to write a post about it herself! 😎
Wolfie, I am honored like you can’t imagine but I do not want to risk anything weird going on with the group. Completely understand where you are coming from and admire you for it.
On the other hand, sure as heck, I would love feedback and vetting by the brainpower in this group, for which I have deep respect. It’s a big idea.
Preeettttty please, take the post and you, as head guy, keeper of the keys, make a post about it.
OK – if you’d prefer, no problem. I’ll just revoke the invitation and post it myself – probably sometime next week. Thanks for your understanding on this! 😀
I defer to you, always.
And if you EVER need help, we are here to help you. Just tap.
No problem! I *am* going to need help next year, assuming I don’t shut down the blog for “reasons”. I would need people to do the daily “Dear MAGA” threads and perhaps other things.
You got it, babe!
Wolfie, FYI, I did get the original invite, just to confirm. That is me. If you ever need me.
Excellent! That means it’s working properly. Good to know!
You Wolfie! This is Yzest5121, Daughn’s husband. I have two WordPress accounts. This is the name I use on our B&B account with TripAdvisor so sometimes I’ll show up as this name. Just wanted to report that all is well here. Daughn247 nearly fainted because she thought she had done something to let a virus loose on this page! She’s fine now . .lol! We are looking forward to the post on the canal idea and the feedback from the group.
Thanks! No problem – she did nothing wrong. WordPress is a mixed bag on security – some aspects good, others less so. Not having added another person yet, I wanted to warn her that if I added her as an author and detected that doing so had weakened security, I might have to revoke the privilege.
All’s well! And thanks for the tip on the second name – I’ll know it’s you on both cases! 😀
Oh my Daughternworks, that idea is truly inspired. A magnificient project. Can’t wait to share it with our son who is a Civil CE drainage specialist. The Chicago deep tunnel is a miniscule speck in comparison.
Everyone we know who is in engineering gets wide-eyed, when we tell them about it.
If there is a way to pick up a pipeline to the Houston refineries, we could power the world for the next 100 years at least.
If any president would get behind such a project, our very dear VSGPDJT would and could carry it out. He thinks big.
We pray he learns of it.
I’ve got a couple of questions about this, but if you’re going to write a post about it, I’ll hold them until then. IMHO some of the benefits you describe are not as big as you think (and some will just partially cancel out costs without being a net benefit), but I could be persuaded otherwise.
Love to hear anything you have to add or take away, Steve. Respect the opinion and brainpower of the group. I guess you could send me a message on WordPress. I did open an account.
Feel badly about hijacking the thread. Sorry, guys.
It’s the open thread, so it’s kind of hard to call anything a hijack as long as it’s remotely pertinent to MAGA.
I replied to a post on your blog since I couldn’t see any way to send you a more private message.
I just discovered SD has a thread up about something Wheatie, Daughnworks, and I were talking about earlier: on Hannity tonight John Solomon mentioned a DIA document exists that has the potential to exonerate General Flynn.
I am posting the link, but I haven’t read it all because I got slowed down a bit by the sneering, condescending tone of the author (Sigh–how did that escape me for so long?) but I wanted to put the link here so others could see it if interested.
https://wordpress.com/read/blogs/19678796/posts/157749
I just posted a comment from that thread–cozette and she mentions Q…
Okay, now that I have read it I have to give the devil his due. SD connected a lot of dots and it made for an interesting post. Overlook the snark and overlook what I believe is his despair and it makes for an enlightening post.
When I heard John Solomon talking about a Congressman who knew about this DIA document I immediately thought of Devin Nunes and his face-whiter-than-a-sheet presser at the WH that evening after he had been called over to review information and I wondered if Nunes was the one. That’s the connection SD made only he has more than flashes of intuition to make his points with.
I believe SD thinks John Solomon and Sara Carter are dupes or accomplices of the DS. I keep wondering if they aren’t being fed leaks/drips/info by the good guys who want info out there to help PDJT. But whatever.
Well yeah, Nunes is a easy guess since he alluded to as much a couple of days ago.
I think it was on either Trish Regan’s show or Laura Ingraham’s.
Seems like he was on with Laura Ingraham, although I didn’t watch it. Could be wrong, though.
Q suggested they were being protected for a reason. In a good way. Not a bad way. That’s how I interpreted the Q post
I don’t read there anymore. He’s been compromised.
You’re right NYGuy, I don’t read ther anymore either.
My friends are here!

Interesting and evocative. Last night Q linked to the Trump Hotel twitter accounts Christmas video. In the video an elevator door opens into what looks like the interior of a gingerbread house. On thecwall is a giant portrait of Santa holding a massive hammer. The painting is signed QA for Qanonon. Q added the comment that “trolling is fun”. By the way, there was also a Christmas stocking with a giant Q on it. But thanks for the Hammer link andvthectie to Solomons drop.
A previous poster was discussing OPERATION HAMMER–“the massive surveillance program Clapper and Brennan were running.” And there was mention of Montgomery–a contractor for the intelligence community–who handed over discs to the FBI (Comey) about the abuses…apparently he filed a lawsuit because nothing was done about Operation Hammer…
interesting if it relates to the hammer Santa is holding…but I am awful with the covert, spy stuff…just throwing it out there…
Uh, oh, cozette. Speaking of hammers….better duck!
I noticed the hammer in the Santa pic in the elevator, but I did not put it together with Operation Hammer! That is really the ultimate troll, isn’t it???? And Q did say that there were more little Easter eggs or whatever he calls them in that elevator lobby for us to find!
WOW! You have officially blown my mind, Pat. Thanks for sharing that.
not me…cozette—her branch may be sawed off shortly…read below…
wow cozette might be banned soon from the other tree…another Q mention

Trump Tower twitter account has their Christmas video posted. When the lobby elevator doors open you step into the interior of a gingerbread house made with blocks of real gingerbread. There’s a fire place mantle and hanging from it are giant Christmas stockings. There is a giant Q on one of them that you see the instant the doors open. On the wall is a portrait of Santa holding an enormous hammer like Huber holds in a meme popular on the 8ch.net/qresearch board where Q posts. When you look to see the painters name you see Q. Isn’t that interesting? Q shared it with us last night with the comment “trolling is fun”. I agree. BTW supporting the president of the United States of American is just as controversial right now as mentioning Q. Free spirits and peaceful truther seekers will not submit to totalitarian bullies.
so the hammer may be referring to Huber as well…lots of good stuff…
and she defends Q later as well…

You guys are so funny. President Trump helped create Q in part, as a way to help him maintain his connection with the anons on the chans who were a huuge part of his November 8, 2016 win. Even the Clinton campaign acknowledged their impact and cited research that said 90% of the amazing Trump campaign memes were made on the chans then filtered up thru reddit the _Donald and on into the world of social media. They were hugely popular. And Trump tweeted memes and videos the anons made for him that he saw and liked. During the election he posted on 4 chan and confirmed it was him with a tweet. Now he regularly interacts with the anons on the 8ch.net/qresearch board thats specifically set up for Q. Q also has a private board where only he can post. In the history ofvthe chan boards no one has had a private board before. Isn’t it interesting that Q has the pull to get one? Anyway its fun interacting with POTUS. We’re having a blast plus doing amazing crowd sourced research, running a 24/7 news agregate creted by anons from around the world and posting hilarious memes. Sorry that you’re chosing to miss out on the fun. BTW Praying Medic does You Tubes geared for normies so they can at least get whats going on 2nd hand. God bless.
LOL Pat, thanks again for posting this!
I will say this, cozette is going down “swinging” to use that hammer metaphor. And she did it with grace and humor. If they are hateful enough to shred her for that, well, I hope she finds her way here.
It may work with hammers (or shovels!) but I think it was originally a baseball metaphor, someone getting called on strike three as he swung at the pitch.
Quick … someone [who can] get cozette our address here!!
Just sayin’ … if this is what I think it is 🙂 “cozette” probably already has it and/or is here!!
Cozette posted here early on – only once, IIRC.
So she knows the address … and I wouldn’t be surprised if she lurks / reads here, too.
From what I remember, she only became harsh out of frustration of others over there, who were either Eeyores, or who simply refused to “keep their eye on the ball”. We ain’t playin’ for peanuts!
I hope she posts again …
Me, too …
Yep. Me three 🙂
And here’s an ornament for her tree. And ours too, if it’s OK…
Cuppa! As Sylvia would say “That’s Qwel”! thanks for sharing!
Emerald, I agree. Calling Cozette. Also Gail Combs.
So, she hasn’t been banned. Hmm. That’s interesting since Q is all she talks about when commenting.
California councilwoman makes farewell speech, quotes Q:
From the article:
‘In what appears to be the first instance of an elected official bringing up the QAnon conspiracy theory during official business, a city councilmember in California prayed during a lawmaker meeting this week that “God Bless Q.”
‘San Juan Capistrano councilmember Pam Patterson, who lost a re-election bid in November, used her goodbye address Monday to read a QAnon posting …
‘“To quote Q, number 2436,” Patterson said. “For far too long, we have been silent and allowed our bands of strength that we once formed to defend freedom and liberty to deteriorate. We became divided. We became weak. We elected traitors to govern us.”
‘Patterson closed her reading with the QAnon motto: “Where we go one, we go all. Q.”
‘Patterson didn’t respond to a request for comment.
‘Patterson is no stranger to controversy. In May, she roiled the city council by refusing to make a lunch order from a halal restaurant, saying she was concerned about Shariah law. In May, however, she met with Trump in the White House as part of a delegation of California politicians opposed to the state’s sanctuary law for immigrants who entered the country illegally.’
good for her!
you have to do what’s right, not what’s popular
Indeed.
Another win for the Left:
Most parents don’t want to surrender their children to Social Engineering.
What a stupid idea that was, along with other modifications made to what used to be the Boy Scouts of America.
Why was there no pressure for the Girl Scouts to admit boys? Arrrghh!
The Left has already destroyed the Girl Scouts…that’s why they didn’t bother to pressure them to admit boys.
The Girl Scouts of America is now grooming little girls to be slutty abortion-barbies.
UGH!
How awful.

Mueller Target Raised $25,000 In Charity To Pay Cancer Doctor Who Doesn’t Appear To Exist
https://dailycaller.com/2018/12/13/corsi-mueller-doctor-cancer/
A good transcript — Rush on the injustice in FBI/DOJ re Flynn case:
https://www.rushlimbaugh.com/daily/2018/12/13/the-flynn-judge-demands-documents-from-mueller/
‘Now, maybe I shouldn’t emphasize this as much because I don’t know what Judge Sullivan is gonna do. All I know is what Judge Sullivan has done. And in the Ted Stevens case, folks, it was just outrageous what they did to that man. The thing I took away from it, after reading it, reading about it, it was obvious the prosecutorial misconduct. It was plentiful. There was lots of it, unquestionably.
‘There weren’t periods of confusion or indecision about it. It was slam dunk prosecutorial misconduct. And it took forever to deal with it. It was a major, major operation to even acknowledge it. These people, if nothing else, circle the wagons. This is the entire DOJ, from the judges down to the prosecutors, the line prosecutors, the clerical people, they’re all on the same team. And I’m telling you, when they all get into court, there are so many assumptions that take place, and chief among them is that the perpetrator did it.
‘And so the bias that is extended to prosecutors in trials like this, whether it’s the result of unfairness or bias, I don’t know, and it’s not even the point. It’s just the formula. It’s just the way it is and has been. Some defendants are a little rare. It’s even tougher sometimes to convict a terrorist because we don’t want to be accused of any kind of anti-Muslim bias or this or that. But in a case like Ted Stevens, a United States senator, it’s amazing. This case should have been thrown out months before it was.
‘The prosecutors in that case should have been sanctioned months before they were. The last step the judge took was sanctioning the prosecutors when it should have been a slam dunk with the first indication he had of what happened. The case almost survived the prosecutors suborning perjury. That’s how deeply ingrained the formula and the process on the prosecution side of these kinds of cases is. And I guess the overriding bias is that we wouldn’t be here if the perp actually hadn’t done it, if the perp was innocent, we wouldn’t even be here.
‘But they ruined the career of a United States Senator named Ted Stevens over a $150,000, approximately, of a home repair bill! And they got the contractor to lie about it. The star witness. The whole case was thrown out. The conviction was vacated and overturned, after Ted Stevens had lost his Senate seat. He was a Republican from Alaska. He died shortly after all of this happened, and nobody knows whether the stress, the angst, the agita, had anything to do with his death.
‘But, I mean, it’s just outrageous. And it was such a hard thing to do. It should have been easy. It should have been a slam dunk. And this is one of the problems I think people have with the criminal justice system. One slipup by a perp and that’s it, you’re gone, buddy. The prosecution can slip up over and over again and the benefit of the doubt is extended, “Oh, they didn’t mean to do it, Judge, sorry. The 302, you know what, we submitted to you the wrong one.”
‘“Well, I can give you to the end of the week to make it right.” It’s just maddeningly frustrating. And then when I find out that these prosecutors, many of them who’ve been sanctioned and had to go to prosecutor rehab essentially, the equivalent of, and relearn ethics are on Mueller’s team! He hired ’em! Even after all of this. And many of them were on the Enron task force. And the Supreme Court of the United States overturned all those convictions! …’
Thanks for the post. It was a good read. I was familiar with the Ted Stevens case, but in light of what is happening right now with General Flynn it was really good to reread and remember Ted Stevens. This is our justice system. Pretty rancid.
This is the nice thing about Rush. He can ably dig around 40 years of history and make it relevant.
spot on and we should expect it this coming week. God bless Gen Flynn.
Indeed, NYGuy.
Gen Flynn deserves a pardon, but before that an exoneration really. Muellers team should be in prison.
If only.
Most of us will enjoy reading the full Flynn story in due course.
The message the courts have sent prosecutors is that there is very little or nothing to fear from prosecutorial misconduct.
Rush is right that the prosecutors and judges are on the same side. Prosecutors are protected by judges. It is a complicated situation and not easily assessed, but the underlying reality is that judges’ careers can be over very quickly by not doing otherwise.
Americans have demanded a skewered judicial system, and they got it.
And Americans have no regret for the skewered system until they get sucked into it, which the left has for a long time and presently conscientiously made more and more possible for average Americans, to the cheers of other average Americans (until THEY get sucked in).
But in this particular case, Judge Sullivan was the person who threw out the Stevens conviction. I believe him to be a man of integrity, and accordingly he is unlikely to sit idly while Mueller does something like this again in his court room.
Extremely and extraordinarily rare for there to be consequences as there was in the Stevens case, let alone consequences where the erring prosecutor is himself punished for misconduct.
Yes, yes and yes, Tonawanda!
I couldn’t agree more.
“This is the entire DOJ, from the judges down to the prosecutors, the line prosecutors, the clerical people, they’re all on the same team.” ~ Rush
_______
Yes, exactly.
And people expected AG Sessions to accomplish miracles within that situation.
Myself and a few others over at the other place, tried to point this out.
Judges…we need more good judges.
And prosecutors that won’t throw the cases.
But people were having to much fun acting like impatient children, insisting “We want what we want, and we want it now!”
We’ve got more of PDJT’s Judges now than we had 22 months ago…but we still need more.
I am glad that Rush elaborated on this!
This will help to explain the need for using military courts, until the DOJ has been cleaned out.
Tribunals…fair, impartial, and fast!
BTW, no disrespect to you Wheatie. I love what you post. Still A+ to me…
Thanks, NYGuy!
I enjoy our exchanges…and respect your opinion too, even if we don’t agree.
🙂
good…I have a track record of being wrong so there’s that…so, in that spirit, I think USMCA will be approved.
call me by my name if you remember..it’s Ed
Okay. 🙂
NYGuy is delightful company, and his insights are very practical and very good.
Thanks man..very nice of you…Right back at you
I listen to what others say even if I am in a different mindset.
And think how many millions of Americans Rush reaches every weekday.
Thank goodness he’s getting the word out there.
As for Over There, I remember how we were told to be patient, yes, we were being ‘childish’ and should ‘eat crow’. My, that rankled me.
‘Wait for the mid-terms,’ they said. Uh-huh.
Well, we do have the Senate, but no one should be mistaken that the House will be up to serious mischief.
As for the IG’s report this week, who told us to wait for that and is now downplaying it? I think you posted a magazine cover above …
yes, a couple weeks back i brought up the stevens case here in a post i made. and this is what i say to people often – unless you have been following the many many stories through the YEARS. where they come from and where they lead. how they are intertwined years later to other seeming unconnected stories… we have been trained to hear, react, emote and then forget. and then do the same thing over and over again. story after story drowns out our memories and we forget. the memory hole meme is real. it’s one of the greatest tactics they have to keep us in check.
I was thinking the same thing today.
The general public doesn’t even care if a story is followed up or not.
https://www.judicialwatch.org/press-room/press-releases/judicial-watch-documents-reveal-obama-state-department-urgently-provided-classified-russiagate-documents-to-multiple-senators-immediately-ahead-of-trump-inauguration/
Yes, a Hussein bureaucrat who I think was defense intelligence gave an interview shortly after the inauguration explaining how these document had to get to members of Congress lest Trump destroys them and goes free. It was an outrageous admission of criminal behavior, which passed almost entirely unnoticed by the MSM. It is about time this came up again.
Evelyn Farkas?
Is that who you’re referring to?
Yes.
Yeah she was blabbing about all that to Mika on MSNBC…and Mika even seemed shocked that she would be saying that.
ole bug eyes…
OMG…she and AOC could be sisters!
They look like they all came from the same ward in a mental institution… The eyes are the windows to the soul and their eyes tell the whole story!!! Yikes!
(SD-CTH): You gotta understand, this is not just Flynn – this is EVERYTHING. Thousands of instances of the data system being used by unauthorized agents, contractors, of government. THOUSANDS. The unlawful rate of use was 85%. 85% of all use of the database was outside legal boundaries.
https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1073428178771812352.html?utm_source=email&utm_medium=alert&utm_campaign=internal
i was reading about that…and was thinking about it too…so contractors (Fusion GPS) used the databases illegally 85% of the time–they could have amassed huge blackmail files on EVERYONE and ANYONE–and 40 Repubs retire at once? no one would be out of their reach…not just Congress, and SCOTUS–FISA judges, celebrities, authors, doctors, lawyers, etc etc etc
OMG! That would be ominous to say the least!
It’s worse than what anybody knows, but nobody ever believed me. The abuse of the system accelerated under Beelzebubba, but under Obama it was extraordinarily active.
For people who they only had minimal dirt (e.g., ME) they needed to “create” dirt to get control. That is where all kinds of horrifying stuff ensued. It took me a while to figure out what they were doing, and why they pursued different paths to try to FIND dirt that wasn’t there, or to CREATE dirt where they thought it was possible.
You have to understand – these people were – at various levels – ALLIED with enemies of the United States. I never realized that. THAT is what was extraordinary.
Interesting times.
*SPIT*
Interesting times indeed, Wolfmoon!! It has truly become truly fixating and desperate times…
All I want from all this is the truth, and maybe that would be the ultimate red pill (could be devastating) but before I pass from this upside down world, I would truly love to know the whole truth and nothing but the truth…
And yet, I doubt that any of us will know the complete truth in all this. Not when the left believes that the truth is a state of mind… and then we are right back where we started. 🙁 Scary…
Sd is just guessing that the ‘document’ Solomon was referring to is “the NSA/FBI files [and audit logs]” showing all the unlawful searches of the NSA database.
So he’s saying the ‘document’…is a file of documents.
And also saying that it will “never see the light of day”.
Eww. That’s some Defcon-eleventy demoralization going on there.
It also looks like he’s changed this meme to reflect his current level of despair-spewing…because I don’t remember it depicting “Trump” as the worm on a hook before:
WOW Wheetie! That really is a very deep level of despair! based on this pic/meme the only conclusion one can draw is that WE are ALL F###!
Yep, it’s bad.
*shudders*
And I’m not buying it…not even little bit.
He’s not going to infect me with that sh-t.
Nope cuz we have our new Q TREE!– I feel bad for some people over there tho…We are so upbeat and they are sinking fast.
We have the same information–We view from an O(Q)ptomistic outlook–Them not so much– Glass half full peeps hang out here…
I’m moving ALL my chips on SD getting an NSL on ME. His despair is coinciding with accelerated entrapment efforts in my corner of the woods.
I still haven’t answered why he is despairing in my mind yet…ideas, Wolf?
I seem to remember that somehow the logs were spirited away to the Hussein Presidential Library. If this is correct, it fits with SD’s never see the light of day remark.
Hussein’s PDB’s may have been spirited away…but the NSA has it All.
I figure that’s why Q has said “We have it all” so many times.
thanks…through my fog that’s what I was trying to get at…lol…
okay I am getting lost in all this…can you back the truck up for me?
I thought Judge Collyier (sp?) wrote about the enormity of the database abuses…so she must have seen them and didn’t Admiral Rogers also see the enormity of it? maybe I am remembering wrong…but if HE saw it, I would venture to guess he made copies to safeguard the knowledge…somehow.
I refuse to believe that any of the white hats wouldn’t have thought to document what they could just in case…
Yes. Rogers found Section 702 abuses (NSA searches targeting US persons) by government contractors in March or April of 2016. I believe Brennan and company began compiling NSA data on Trump before he won the nomination and that Carter Page was planted into the campaign in order to bring with him a FISA warrant that retroactively make legal all the illegal 702 searches Rogers found.
This spying on US persons who committed no crime was a massive abuse of the Fourth Amendment. Rogers shut down contractor access to NSA data, initiated an audit, and informed the FISA court (your Judge Collier) about the problems, eventually shut down all 702 queries. Then, without informing his (crooked) bosses, he went to Trump Tower immediately after the election to warn Trump about the extent of the spying. Recall Trump moved his transition team to a Trump golf course immediately after that meeting so as to make it harder for them to spy on him.
Exactly.
People need to understand that the question of spying versus non-spying is NOT on the table. That horse is out of the barn. If you take that view, then you are going to be in Deep State despair.
BUT (and this is part of the Q psy-op) what if we say “at least proper use of NSA data is better than abuse of it – maybe we should start there. Maybe NSA is not the bad guy.” See how that works?
Here are my Q questions for SD.
What if spying on somebody is technically allowed?
How does one tell if that spying is being USED or ABUSED?
Use AND logic – what if it’s being USED *AND* ABUSED?
What if abused IC is being used by foreign forces?
How would one talk to potential allies (us) if one had an ally in the White House?
What if Wikileaks’ calling Q a “base pacification hoax” is right about SOME purposes?
Trump has dropped into the question of Team MAGA Military (Spy within the rules) versus Team Socialist IC (“Spy What You Will”, to borrow from the satanists)
Yes, Trump dived into the Swamp. But he has the best SCUSBA equipment the military can give him. We CAN and SHOULD have faith.
Exactly! SD seems to be reflecting to his readers that POTUS45 is squirming… like a worm on a hook… or is POTUS45 the bait? Geez. Either way, I do tend to wonder why SD has taken such a “defeatist” attitude at this point in time.
i noticed the shift with the James Wolfe story…he went from getting the Zippo lighter sparked up to no one’s getting charged with anything and we were mislead all along…
That’s the gist of the combined narratives being pushed by Fox, as far as I can tell. Another individual I know who fancies himself a political guru is exhibiting the same infection of negativity.
Let them wallow in their negativity, DP! (is it ok to call you DP?) I am going to keep the faith and the plan, and pray so very hard that our POTUS and his white hats (Q) prevail! We all need some good news and good faith is contagious! 🙂
DP seems to be my new nickname. It’s all good.
Just take note of who lines up with him. Never forget.
It does seem there is a concerted effort to promote despair, however Rush is plowing onward to tell the truth even if he avoids Q.
Come January WLS a.m. Chicago is bumping the silly programming of Steve Dahl show that follows Rush, and putting Ben, that young squeaky, fast talking pipsqueak never Trumper whose name I try to never remember, for two hours, in the Dahl 4 hour slot, just prior to Mark Levin’s 6 p.m. slot. That is the most current plan for programming that I can find.
The pipsqueak currently has a one hour slot from 9-10 p.m. after Levin.
Yep. I rreferenced it a couple of weeks ago when I (thank GOD) found this tree and posted for the first few times. That poisonous despair is what got to me. Like the old Hee-Haw song “Gloom, Despair, and Agony on me”.
When the victim got the “Trump” label, that was a despair too far…
Have to wonder if either a NSL or imposter (or both) is in play. Makes me really sad, because “the other plaice” was both a blessing and a source of great information and research.
But, this tree is a blessing and a source of great information, populated by great and fun people, without the “troll load” of other sites…. Here is a refuge indeed!
GOD Bless you Woltman and QTreepers!
Erm, chair-keyboard xface problems, geesh. Referenced without a rolled r 🙂 and WOLFMAN, not Woltman (no idea what my keyboard was thinking 🙂 )…
Thank you!
Thanks for fighting for us, Mr. President!
The problem with making a ‘deal’ with China, is…they cheat.
They will expect us to keep our word and abide by the agreement.
But they will cheat.
They always do.
For example…the ‘Chinese Inspection’.
That’s where a perishable shipment of ours, sits on the docks for weeks while their Inspectors take their sweet time ‘inspecting it’.
Result — the shipment spoils.
I’m sure our President and his team are aware of this, though.
It will be interesting to see what kind of language Sec Ross and Lighthizer put into the agreement.

HMMM…..
this isn’t where the Flynn sentencing hearing is, is it?
Pat–I thought that was on the 18th? I could be wrong…
I thought Mueller had until the 14th to present (even if under seal) some evidence they did not produce or produced the wrong 302–something– some such sleight of hand…
you are Correct Pat! This could get verrry interesting!
For your reading enjoyment, a hopeful summary posted by a qanon today:
A BRIEF MOMENT IN Q-TIME.
(((When we consider the scope of operations)))
Let’s think logically and critically about Q’s timing.
I would like anons to consider a more patient plan.
Similar to how Reagan slowly took down Russia.
Using leverage and control over a period of years.
In France, they woke up too fast and they are rioting.
In America, we are waking up slowly and prospering.
Don’t get me wrong, the innocent MUST be protected.
But Q says those traffickers have been neutralized.
So what if the PLAN has several timelines at once.
A very fast one for dealing with higher risk objectives.
A very slow one for dealing with lower risk objectives.
Let’s address major objectives as unique MIL timelines.
Objective #1: Stop the Human Trafficking.
This goal has been underway full speed since day 1.
With deadly efficiency, no mercy and special forces.
Under the radar and below the public news cycle.
Objective #2: Weaponize MIL-INTEL Against Them.
This plan has been underway since Inauguration Day.
Trump visited CIA HQ on his first full day in office.
Obama’s Secret Pardons require post 2016 crimes.
Objective #3: Remove Rogue Nukes & Comms.
Think North Korea nuke mountain collapse 2017.
Think Iran, Syria, Ukraine, Venezuela, Pakistan.
Think Subs, Missiles, CERN, EMP & SATCOMs.
Objective #4: Secure Senate & Supreme Court.
McCain, Flake, Corker = no real GOP majority.
Kennedy, Roberts = no real conservative court.
Senate and SC solved with real majority 11.18.
Objective #5: Form a Trusted Global Alliance
Think fall of Saudi Arabia in Oct 2017.
Think Xi, Abe, Moon & Kim in Nov 2017.
Think Putin, Brazil, Italy, Mexico, etc… 2018.
Objective #6: Strengthen US Military/Economy
Military completely funded through all of 2019.
Tax cuts and low interest puts normies at ease.
Caravans, Gangs, Antifa pretext for Martial Law.
Objective #7: Expose Media & Social Giants
Think advent of QAnon and Trump’s Twitter.
Showcase media hypocrisy day after day.
Showcase social media censorship daily.
Objective #8: Voter Fraud & Voter ID.
Let “them” repeat crimes in 2018 midterms.
Build iron clad cases with obvious verified fraud.
Use fraud evidence as pretext for 2020 voter ID.
Objective #9: Control Financial System.
Force Queen, Macron, May, Merkel to submit.
Force alliance to hand over SWIFT encryption keys.
Force FED restructure & pardon all intra-gov debt.
Objective #10: Remove & Arrest Cabalists.
Pick off 1 or 2 “old guard” each month with “deaths”.
Pick off 100-200 “CEO’s” each month with “MeToo”.
Pick off 10K-20K “suddenly” when “Storm is Upon Us.”
no wonder the man never sleeps!
very very good…the ciommunications strategy is also interesting. POTUS makes the media chase dead end stories almost every day. It has diminished them. We can all see it clearly now. Look how the Fake News phrase is used all the time.
I love that!
Thanks, AFortiori…that was wonderful!
Love your logic, but I don’t understand your last sentence, unless you mean there could be that many DSers.
FLOTUS is a great subject but I need to exploit the Open Thread.
Lately, there have suddenly been little bits about the “immunity” supposedly given to various Klintoon/Zerobama dirtbags. First, I have seen no evidence of any immunity deals (which must be in writing in order to have any value). Second, it is questionable whether immunity given by executive branch officials in exchange for nothing are actually valid. Third, it is even more doubtful that immunity given by officials in order to cover up criminal/unethical conduct has any value under any circumstances. Fourth, #3 is extremely likely if those giving the immunity are involved in the conduct which is covered by the immunity.
Bottom line is that we have no basis to assume that ANYBODY has been granted valid immunity for incidents that are part of the coup and/or CF corruption deals.
One of the calls to the Chris Plante Show this morning was from a guy named Lamar, a former intelligence officer. He stated that Flynn was under no obligation to be truthful to the FBI agents unless they told him first that he had an obligation to be truthful. He pointed out that Flynn’s career in DIA means he was well aware of this, both at the time of the interview and the time of the guilty plea so he thinks something is yet to be revealed about why Flynn pleaded guilty. Very interesting.
The call is during the last half hour of the show which can be downloaded at:
http://www.podbean.com/podcast-detail/ku8pt-3a626/The+Chris+Plante+Show
I believe the immunity deals were in fact secret presidential pardons. As to why Flynn pleaded guilty, see my post at 10:08 above.
I do not believe that there can be any such thing as a secret pardon. The purpose of a pardon is to remove criminal liability and it’s hard for me to figure out how officials would know not to charge someone if it was secret. Plus, it has to be in writing and documents cannot be classified unless needed to protect the USA.
And also…’immunity’ can be revoked if the person has lied about anything.
The lying could nullify a lot of those immunity deals.
THis is SO very well written and thought out! Thanks A Fort!!!
Notice how many “MAGA people” have gone decidedly negative. Take note and remember.
Oh and a year ago, everyone was telling me that the internet would end as we know it. Net Neutrality was saving us…Ajit was getting hammered…well there is this
This just disgusts and enrages me – only ONE elected official attended this meeting!!!!
“Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA) was the lone member of Congress who showed up to speak with the Middle East Women’s Coalition on Capitol Hill on Wednesday. (Penny Starr/Breitbart News)”
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2018/12/13/watch-middle-eastern-women-share-chilling-sharia-law-stories-silence-is-killing-us/
We in the West have no idea of what women subject to Sharia go through. I highly recommend Ayaan Hirsi Ali’s book “Infidel.” It will make your blood boil.
Oh, my blood doesn’t need any more time on the stove, believe me! Thanks, tho – I will get it via my local library. I knew she wrote a book but did not know the name of it.
Nebraka, I think it’s disgusting, also.
Today was the last day for the NeverTrumpers’ Weekly Standard. Amazingly Ace of Spades wrote an interesting piece about it. MAGA is where the party is and TWS had no idea. They are not as smart as they think they are. Read the article. You will nod your head.

But, of course! Ha! And I missed that connection! Well, smack me up side the head!
ok that is Monday.. Ace wrote a pretty accurate obit for them.
Who? Is that some kind of rag for severely constipated people? Mustve finally taken a red pill…..
Hey NYGuy (Ed?) I went to the site link and had to work pretty hard to find that article of which you speak. Funny layout on that blog. Anyway, I found the direct link at the bottom of the post (the time stamp). Hmmm.
http://ace.mu.nu/archives/378671.php
Just in case anyone wanders by and wants to read it.
Ed is correct. Yeah that is a funky site and thank you.
Finally figured out why Lady Justice really wears that blindfold…she knew what was coming and could not stand to watch.

ok Jon Kyl just quit. He’s out in 3 weeks. AZ Governor Ducey will have to name a replacement. He will have the most intense pressure to name McSally as the new Senator.
that would be very bad… btw….she can go back to being a neverTrumper
Why? Thought he would stay til the end of the year. AZ has a lot of bad juju in its politicians. No “mc” senators. An actual conservative would at least counter the nut from tucson.
Dang it, I’m missing lots happening! Just letting you all know I am still around, it’s just that Christmas time keeps putting things in the way! Doesn’t mean I’m not think about y’all.
Now to catch up on what I can…
I can’t keep up with all the comments, either, though I would like to read all of them!
That’s where I’m at too. I don’t want to miss a thing.
for the tick tock crowd 😉
my father (God rest his soul) had a polka band back in the day–he played the accordion and sang. He always played my favorite polka for me whenever I asked–the name? The Tick Tock Polka…I kid you not…
Cool Story Pat!! I would have LOVED your DAD!!!
thanks…I miss him!
Where’s Tonawanda? His former state senator, Marc Panepinto D-NY, was just sentenced to 2 months in prison plus a 1 year supervised release. He was caught being sleazy with 1 of his staffers then tried to “buy” her silence.
Say goodbye to that scumbag everyone. His political career is over.

nah…he’ll probably run for AG of NY next time around…LOL
Ha! you could be right. Didn’t the charges against Schneiderman get dropped?
Or Governor 😉
bite your tongue…
OUCH! 🙂

boy I’d wanna know where the original 302 was and why it was not filed today.
and this filing does not fulfill the judge’s order either–if he, in fact, asked for the 302 of the interview WITH FLYNN…
Thanks for posting this update on the Flynn situation. Gosh, I hope the judge stands firm and insists on getting what he asked for and scrutinizes this harder and doesn’t just go with the SC.
Hmm. 1:17…
Here’s hoping they run out of black ink (either virtual or real) real soon…
you gotta smile:
To all Deep Staters: No matter what Fake News, no matter what fake indictment, you’re not getting the country back to ruin it again. Trump’s got thick Teflon skin and America is watching you. Shitter’s full! Merry Christmas. 🎄

Case 1:17-cr-00232-EGS Document 56 Filed 12/14/18 Pages 1 – 7
I read through the documents too—Mueller makes the assumption that Flynn knew it was a felony to lie to the FBI, because of his position and years in the government; however, Hillary was NOT expected to recognize and secure classified info DESPITE her position and years in government.
Mueller made a big deal about Flynn lying on more than one occasion to the media and to members of the White House–while not optimal, it certainly is not a CRIME to do so.
and there is so much redacted on the appendices it isn’t funny…
where’s the ORIGINAL 302 Bob???
This is bad for Mueller..very, very bad.
I just want everyone to know I am removing my name from consideration for WH chief of staff. Now is now the right time for my family. I hate being called Mr Guy anyways.
LOL.
I’ve already been removed from consideration. My demand to carry an AR-15 on my back was denied! SO picky!
It will probably be Jared. He has the inside track. So unfair. So what if he ran the digital campaign? Anybody can do that!
You should have told me..I would have fixed that. I think it would be cool to have a wolfmoon COS.
BTW if it is Kushner the media will have a come-apart. Impeach him!
LOL!
Yeah, it will be a freak-out if Jared is chosen, which is sad, because he is extremely talented. I’m personally hoping for somebody military, but that’s my outsider’s bet. Trump will do the right thing!
Crap, if they won’t allow you an AR-15 they’d probably reject my 805 BREN.
I gather I was removed from consideration some time ago as they have not contacted me lately. Lol.
Actually that phone call you ignored because you thought it was a spam caller? That was the offer!!!
Steve, that figures. probably for the best. LOL.
Bummer. We could have had a great inside source if you had been chosen!
I could be GuyAnon!
😉 You guys would know the truth about Q! OK, maybe not. But maybe some hints! 😀
But…but…but…
I can hear it now… Guy54 where areeee youuuuu???
🙂
lmao
Woooooow!!!!!!!
Hes a tough cookie. Hahahaha!
I was wondering what second job he’d take to replace the last second job (they now have a permanent CFPB head confirmed).
Steve–thinking same thing! forgot they replaced him at CFPB.
Mick is turning out to be a regular Mr. Fix-It. Interesting pick. Well, as long as he is MAGA to the hilt and supports PDJT loyally and faithfully that’s about all I can ask.
In my dreams, though, PDJT got his own junk yard dog (think Rahm Emmanuel) who kicked behind and took names all over town for PDJT.
LOVE Mick Mulveney!!! Fantastic PICK!
ps—doesnt he have like 3 jobs now?
Excellent choice! Mulvaney is sharp as a tack, a proven success, and means business.
Outstanding!!! MachineGunMulvaney III
UpChuck…Exposed !
That is pretty great for meme ing. As good as his executive order. 😁
Ha ha. That’s hilarious.

Found this on VOAT and it started me giggling as COPS is a favorite show from times past and I always told my mother to look on the bright side, none of her kids ever ended up on COPS.

This is not COPS. This is taking down parties, institutions, and families that started a silent war against the people of the United States the day Lincoln was assassinated (yes, Abraham Lincoln).
The effort to legally bring these people to justice and not fuck it up is not trivial.

Still laughing as COPS just seems to be People of Walmart get caught.
Also found these comments on VOAT re the sealed floor in a courthouse in Washington discussed upthread. Looks like it has something to do with the Mueller grand jury. No wonder the place is sealed tighter than Area 51.

It has a judge on the case that is listed as the judge over the Mueller Grand Jury. Hopefully it is about Flynn FBI crap, otherwise it is likely against Trump since it is Mueller related. Unless of course Mueller is working for the white hats.
Mueller is working for the [former] communist occupation. IMHO.
I’m not willing to take sides on that one yet. Data is incomplete.
Honestly, this is better than any mystery I’ve ever read.
It’s gonna get better. 😉
Think I have to side with Wolfie on this one. I wondered for a while if it was just done for optics. ot now.
Wolfmoon, I like the word [former] in your answer. I really don’t see how they can survive this.
Patriots in control.
Nevertheless, the other side is still trying “interesting” things. They are patient, too.
We’re (white hats) all trying to avoid Z.
I was here at 1:00 am this morning and got so tired I had to go to bed.
I woke up this morning in a Parallel Universe with a worm hole back to here.
I started my day checking all the news headlines and it seemed that President Trump was going to jail immediately if not sooner and that Hillary must be given the Presidency that was obviously hers. The media all seemed to agree that President Trump is a Criminal.
Then I came over here and the things I knew before this morning still seemed intact.
I have wandered back and forth all day.
I thought I would tell you that I have been coming back here as a touchstone and trying to figure out how the worm hole works.
The other universe does not believe anything we say in this one and I can’t believe anything they say in their universe.
It has been a strange day.
I finally decided to just come back here and stay because I don’t even recognize a universe that keeps saying, we lied, you have to believe us, Hillary won, get over it, your laws do not apply to us, we are laughing in your face and you can’t do anything at all about it.
Nice to be back home. : )
the mind game they have going is 100% effective for so many people. it is even now filtered into most “conservative” outlets including websites and “twitter journalists”. the infiltration will continue.
every day i try and try to reconcile in my own mind what is going on. sometimes i have very strange thoughts about potential scenarios. but i have to keep fighting that virtual thought pattern they are imposing on everyone.
speaking of alternate universes – one of my favorite star trek episodes – “mirror, mirror”!
Q, Is that You???
Q is always using the mirror reference. I have been trying to understand it.
It is disorienting, isn’t it?
Elizabeth, I think I have felt the same. Turn on hourly news and it’s like listening to communist propaganda from old Radio oscow. Then come back here to terra firma and it is such a relief, but sometimes it all makes me dizzy.
I really don’t have time for any online interaction, but you all are now a wonderful and indispensable addiction, er, addition to my world. Trying to stay balanced. Not sure I’m succeeding. But at least I’m feeling hopeful and happy while the chores stack up.
FANTASTIC piece by Rex having to do with yesterday’s hearing re the Case Study of the Clinton Foundation
https://quodverum.com/2018/12/348/clintons-in-the-crosshairs-message-delivered-shots-fired.html
Perhaps the most interesting part of today’s explosive Congressional hearing into the Clinton Foundation, was the last few minutes.
Mark Meadows (R) had a major tantrum about the investigators not turning over the 6,000 documents they have incriminating the Clintons, to Congress.
Meadows:
“I don’t find how [refusing to turn over information] provides a good foundation for truth and transparency.”
The reply by one of the investigators, John Moynihan, was priceless:
“Let me be very clear. You invited us. If you don’t want us, disinvite us…we presented [the evidence] to government agencies, which you’re not.”
Bravo! Every sane American would have applauded.
These investigators are like white collar crime bounty hunters, who investigate and expose crime and then get an agreed cut of the crime’s $value.
There’s no way they’re going to put years of intensive and dangerous work at risk.
But a more fundamental question is this – why on earth would they hand over red-hot evidence, currently the subject of FBI / DOJ investigation, into the hands of some of the most untrustworthy group of people in America (Congress), that has no prosecutorial power?
Especially when one of the chambers is about to be fouled by an insane Democrat majority.
From the article:
Message Delivered : Shots Fired
Today’s hearing was a message from Team Trump, to two audiences.
Audience #1 – the Clintons and their cronies. What do the Clintons know for sure tonight?
That there has been a very professional and detailed investigation of the money laundering machine, aka The Clinton Foundation, for some time. That the scale of tax evasion, FARA violations, “pay for play” and money laundering crimes is astonishing.
And that these investigators aren’t trusting anyone with their evidence, apart from the FBI investigation team in Little Rock, Arkansas, which has a Grand Jury in place.
Audience # 2 – you and me. What do we know for sure tonight?
See the answer to the Clintons.
Beautifully stated!
Interesting 302 speculation from Tom Fitton of Judicial Watch.
He might be right. I mean these people are not only stupid, but lazy about the details.
They NEVER thought She would LOSE.
But…she up and lost.
No matter what, never forget that!!!
Quick comment, then back to work for me ….
Apologies if this point has already been made, since it is pretty obvious.
Gnl Flynn was treated poorly by Ozero and his cronies during O’s presidency ….
McCabe was known to be dodgy, if for no other reason than overt support for Cankles (his wife’s campaign and monies thereby received)
Adml Rogers advised DJT of spying on his campaign, – some of which was done by overseas operatives – “About queries” whilst hoovering up Russian phone conversations.
Gnl Flynn was DJT NATSEC adviser – no way DJT did not tell the Gnl about the spying. We now know from Q that the Sessions affair was a headfake – Sessions will be fully vindicated, according to Q. So Sessions was playing possum …
NO WAY was Gnl Flynn NOT fully prepared for that meeting, since it was initiated by McCabe …….
Gnl Flynn will be fully vindicated – this can no longer be doubted.
This will be a MOAB for the DS when it occurs ….
Meant to add ….
The characterisation that Gnl Flynn thought he was amongst friends when interviewed by the 2 agents is pure POSSUM FODDER….
The meeting was initiated by McCabe and involved Russia – how stupid do you have to be to believe that the Gnl’s “spidey senses” were not going off like crazy.
Just SAY N – as Dan used to say …. 🙂
Excellent points Jason!! So glad you got a quick minute to post. The greatest spy’s “spidey senses” For sure!!!
Thanks Marica 🙂
A herd of wild horses can’t keep me away from checking in to the greatest site on the planet.
Sadly don’t have much time to post 🙁
Bugging out for the evening. The infamous choir party. Trust me, all will be merry.
Heh, sounds like fun! Have a good time. We’ll be here when you get back. 🙂
AMEN!!! 😀
I take it your attendance is rechoired.
Since I am the star soprano, yes. 😉
We laughed like hell. No we all don’t agree on much, but we can put it aside and laugh at life and play stupid games, and all that. Of course, good food and lubrication helps.
Good.
At work we were forced by scheduling conflicts for every single day to postpone our holiday lunch into next year.
Oh, that sucks. Sorry.
Doesn’t matter much…the food will still be good and it will still be paid for by the boss.
In that case, the food will be delicious.
Indeed. Even if it’s B-coli and month old chicken.
I am always in awe of people that can sing and play instruments! You AND Elizabeth are star singers!! so that’s cool!! And Pat’s dad had a band!! So far—pretty talented group!
When the Storm is finally over–I am going to learn to play the piano!! that’s my PLAN!
Hubby got me a guitar for Christmas that I intend to learn to play (played piano when I was younger…)…and a course to learn Spanish…
Marika, wonderful idea. That will give you and others a lot of enjoyment.
Excellent Pun Steve! lololol

THE SHAMWOW THREAD IS UP!!!
https://wqth.wordpress.com/2018/12/14/is-obamacare-kaput/
FYI, husband went through the DOJ submittal on Flynn.
Wish he would make a post about it but here is my kindergarten English version.
DOJ only admitted to one 302 on Flynn, apparently written sometime in July(???).
They doubled down on Flynn as a liar, smearing him more, claiming he should have known better, considering his service.
General consensus from husband and his buddies = They are pi$$$$ed.
Husband used the phrase, “these guys should be afraid of a necktie”.
LOL! OH, MY!
Thank you so much Daughn!! I knew you and hubbie’s take would be Awesome! “Afraid of a necktie”!! LOLOL
It’s been battered around the internet and twito sphere all afternoon—but initial take was 302 was written
way AFTER the meeting and right before Mueller fired strozk and after he fired Page…–which makes no sense to me…
Hey Marica, did you see Margot Cleveland’s article this morning? She was the one who— 1. found footnote 23 about the 302 being submitted on Aug 22.
2. Put the timing together w/Page/Strvok texts from Feb 14th, 2017
3. Plus, Comey testimony in May about reading a 302 on Flynn.
Meaning – there had to be another 302.
It was her article quoted by Hannity and Shannon Bream last night.
Anyway, this morning, an attorney, Kevin Fulton, filed a motion with Margot as ‘plaintiff’, to unseal/unredact past misconduct, release what Weissman did (hiding exculpatory evidence, destroying drafts of 302s) in the Enron case.
PLUS, Margot posted about 20 minutes ago, there a 5 items missing from the Flynn docket = bad news for DOJ.
It looks like Sharyl Attkisson,, Mollie Hemingway, and Margot Cleveland are now working on this story, together.
I would hate to have those three mad at me.
Holy xxxx. This looks BAD. And if we had FISA on Weissmann – he is TOAST.
What I would not give……… for a FISA on Weissman.
the master weasel…
Thought occurred to me…any chance PT had friend(s) in Enron screwed over by Weismann?
Or a friend who WROTE THE BOOK ON IT. Serioiusly. Think he read that book? 😉
Hmmm.
That team will rip the Mueller team each a new orifice. Go get ’em, ladies!
I didnt see Margot’s article—Must have either been Sharyl or Mollie as I follow them… But it sure is getting interesting!!
I agree!! don’t want those three mad at me either!! 😉
Here is where it starts.
Thanks Daughn! if today wasnt big enough– Love her “more to come on Monday”…and it’s a Q day 😉 12/17…
So 302 that stzrok stated reference to in January they say now doesnt exist? Or playing stupid? Didnt think again they would get caught or judge would care?
Huber is going to be sending dozens of these people to jail for a long, long time.
Talk about giving people enough rope ….
It looks like VSGPDJT has provided the “Angry Democrats” with all the rope in the world …
maybe we should just start sending them all holiday “neckties” –right Daughn?
What Mueller submitted to Judge Sullivan was a synopsis of what happened before and after Flynn interview (see page 7-11) but not the actual notes from the agents of the interview……. until August 22.
Mueller is trying to play cute
Sullivan will see it a mile away.
DOJ is in trouble here.
BUT – If Flynn did not lie, but pleaded guilty to a lie, then he is lying about lying. Was he forced to? By FBI? Threatened? If so, does this pattern of behavior extend to Manafort, Corsi, Papadop, Stone, etc?
Its not my paygrade, but this all stunk before the sc was even started. Ty for explaining.
I’m guessing he lied for a reason (sting op, maybe – or national security). So he honestly plead to the facts as presented – but may have had extenuating circumstances, which are now coming into play.
Not a legal argument, since I am no lawyer, but it seems to be some of the facts of the matter as currently understood by me.
Flynn only lied about one thing.
It was about talking to the Russian Ambassador on ‘back channels’.
That’s it.
That was the One Lie that he pled guilty to.
Flynn was doing it as a part of the Trump Transition Team…and he was trying to avert the war-with-Russia that Hussein & Co had been agitating for.
Hussein had just kicked a bunch of Russian diplomats out of the country.
Flynn had no reason to apprise those two FBI agents of that call.
It was a need-to-know decision on his part.
He may have been presented with some kind of unmasking of his son, details of which might have caused him a lot of trouble, and he fell on his sword to protect him. Or his wife, who knows?
If Flynn was being surveilled, you know it would have caught his nearest and dearest up in the sweep as well.
Well Mueller didn’t provide the original 302 which Judge Sullivan is essentially asking for. The SC provided a later recap of the missing 302.
That is not going to work. As Daughn said, this case is in big trouble. So the scenario suggests that Flynn verdict gets vacated. Rex offers the next logical step is to charge Mueller with prosecutorial misconduct and that becomes grounds for AAG Whitaker to fire Mueller.
Just imagine if that happens next week. Merry Christmas!
Thinking they have more criminals to expose themselves first.
The new AG Barr essentially comes in to re-structure DOJ and unleashes Wray to dive into FBI management. No one seems to care that Wray has been replacing leadership at the field offices. Maybe it’s been a precursor to what is about to happen.
Federal Courthouse, Court of Appeals, 6th floor, down the street from the Capitol, was cordoned off this morning, no press.
Press had a damn meltdown, checking stairwells, etc.
Consensus is the grand jury was for Mueller.
It was a District Court case however, just used the Court of Appeals jury room cuz they could seal it off easily.
Interesting……
Can you expl ain “for meuller”? For something he is filing on who?
Mueller empaneled a grand jury – looking to indict someone else.
The President and First Lady….
Thanks Ga! Our Power couple POTUS and FLOTUS! Melania Dazzles in white!
So, for those trying to follow the Chinese shenanigans XTE has hired former Senator Joe Lieberman to lobby for them and make sure their brand gets all the access and TLC it needs. I feel like throwing up. What is wrong with people? I am sure he is being lavishly remunerated, but seriously I’m sure he is hardly having to clip coupons to avoid eating cat food. Where on earth is his patriotism?
WOW. Commies and “fellow travelers”.
Say it isn’t so!!!!!!!
Wow, good grab Sylvia! We need to pay extra attention to China. Look at all the Q posts we’ve had from China and their Chequechong (?????) not sure of spelling, it’s China’s version of Silicon Valley. Remember?
Whoops, I meant to type ZTE. Chinese telecom co. Sorry.
Holy smokes, Judge ruling on Obamacare just came down.
Reasoning is: If the ACA is only constitutional because the mandate maked it a tax —– then removing the mandate (under tax cuts) makes the ACA unconstitutional.
There is no injunction.
O’care will say in place while appealed.
President and Schumer already weighing in on Twitter.

Gheezzzz way too much info on Friday night.
This is why I said PITUS admin flipped the standard friday night drop! Its good to talk about this stuff and wake everyone up over the weekend.
Great point Gil!! and by the way! Love you memes! (i cant figure out how to “like”…
Ty. Im a part time meme farmer …🤗
If you don’t see a blue star below every single post, then the reason you can’t figure out how to “like” is…because you can’t. 🙂
think Wolfie shadowbanned me? LOL
The problem is…When i go to like WP has me sign in–When i do–they say that name is already taken…Duh–ME…sorry I dont know what to do at this point…
Not sure but you may need to set up an account. (If you don’t have one, I don’t think you can like posts.) And you’ll need to come up with a slightly different name (MaricaTheEffervescent might work 🙂 ). If you already have an account, maybe you need to go through whatever procedure you need to go through to get your password reset.
I really can’t tell because I don’t know what WP looks like to people who don’t have an account.
Thanks so much Steve!! Might shorten that complimentary name 😉 thanks! to maybe..MaricaTheEffer…LOLOL!!
Your husband may find that amusing.
So just checked in “over there” for a data point.
The Presidential thread has 781 comments, Wolf’s “Open Thread” has 522 – not bad for a bunch of outcasts.
Looks like the Banned are catching up with the old band ….
KUDOS to Wolfmoon!!!! 🙂
Wow! And I never get the new one up in time (COUGH). BRB! 😉
You CAN write it in advance and set it to drop automatically.
Should we call our banned “The Tick Tocks” in honor of Pat Fredericks Dad’s Polka Band? :0
No, but if the anti-Sandinista forces in Nicaragua are ever banned, they can be the contraband.
So we are the CounterBand? you know– counter to the other place? Nevermind–too late to be clever…;)
Steve, too clever of you, as usual.
lol…Pop’s band was John ***** and his Jolly Jets…LOL…still have a business card…he could’ve learned a few things about branding from POTUS!
Okay guys, heads up, another bombshell is incoming.
Judicial Watch just dropped a big one.
Their FOIA from June of 2018, was released today, showing—
1. Classified email from State Dept being spread to Dem Senators and Corker to disparage Trump before inauguration.
2. One email says, “Congratulations, we made the deadline, this was a department wide effort” —- proves conspiracy.
3. Warner and Corker are in it up to their necks.
https://www.judicialwatch.org/press-room/press-releases/judicial-watch-documents-reveal-obama-state-department-urgently-provided-classified-russiagate-documents-to-multiple-senators-immediately-ahead-of-trump-inauguration/
Corker. Spit.
Judicial Watch has sure done all the heavy lifting, haven’t they?
May I say holy crap?
Yes.You.May. lol 😉
Only if someone machine guns your outhouse.
ROTFLMAO. Especially if Comey is in the outhouse. LOL.
Figuratively speaking of course.
Why…why would someone do this?
