Dear MAGA: 20190130 Open Topic

This GLOW-BULL WARMING COAL WEATHER WEDNESDAY Open Thread is dedicated to the vision of those who realized that the globo-commie conspiracy was SCAMMING US on energy across the board, including their notorious WAR ON COAL – that DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH.

COAL – which will help get this planet back on track, as the globo-commie conspiracy answers for its crimes of politicizing every aspect of science to bring down America and advance GLOBO-SOCIALIST SLAVERY – along with their attempted creation of the BOGUS CARBON ECONOMY.

Eeeee-GADS! And they almost got away with it!

Enjoy your warmth tonight, largely delivered by COAL MINERS.

Repeating the image more clearly:

This is my first “Dear MAGA” after returning from my absence.

AND IT’S GOOD TO BE BACK!!!

Remember – this is a free speech zone. You can say what you want, comment on what other people said, and so on. Keep it civil. Rules much like the Old Treehouse, except of course Q discussion is not only allowed but encouraged. A couple of other important things to consider:

https://wqth.wordpress.com/2019/01/01/dear-maga-open-topic-20190101/ 

…contains some general guidelines for things that are really, really not kosher to post here.

And Wheatie’s Rules (as amended by SteveInCO):

  1. No food fights.
  2. No running with scissors.
  3. If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.
  4. No shooting at the nuclear warheads.

Thank you all for being here. I appreciate everything that each of you brings to this place. This is not MY place – it should be abundantly clear by now that this is OUR place.

With TWO cats in the yard! 😉

Skepticism. I’ll take TWO helpings, please!

It’s all good, Wolfie.
That ‘schedule’ thing has never worked for me either.

Or…it was WP gremlins messing with you.

When you edit, you’ve got to hit update twice. You’ll know it’s good when the little balloon pops up telling you it’s scheduled for blah blah blah time.

Wow, I didn’t know that there was such a large percentage of the country that used Coal for heating their homes.
We’re in the Natural Gas category.
But then, here in OK there is lots of it.
No wonder HusseinO and his crew of globo-commies wanted to destroy our Coal industry!
They wanted us broke, on our knees…and freezing in the dark.

Hmm…”No Motive”, huh?
They couldn’t even find someone to say that Paddock ‘talked about voices in his head’?
Isn’t that the usual MO?
Wait…maybe he actually did have voices in his head.

wheatietoo

Yep. The only one I’ve seen mentioned from the FBI, is that special agent Aaron Rouse.
And that guy was creepy from the start.
He was in charge of the Bundy ranch standoff too.

NebraskaFilly

The Sheriff was also involved at the Bundy standoff.

Pat Frederick

I think NOT revealing a motive makes more sense. If they said he did it because of x or y, then people who are not involved with x or y would feel safer and they don’t want that. Safer people gather, people in fear do not. We feel more isolated if we are in fear…this leaves it very open–it could happen again at any time—better to avoid wide open gatherings…
the only time i think they reveal a motive is when they feel they can use that motive to create legislation to restrict our moments, our freedoms.

TatonkaWoman

It’s hard to find the motive when you’re looking at the wrong perp.

Please

17 days since last Q post… fingers crossed

Pat Frederick

We live in the woods, so we burn wood mostly to heat with a heat pump (electric) backup. When I was growing up, the house across the street from my parents blew up one afternoon—scared me silly. Luckily the older woman who lived there alone was not home at the time. They determined there was a rupture in her gas line under the house that caused the explosion. When we built this home, so many contractors tried to talk us into gas heat but I just couldn’t get the image of that house exploding out of my mind.

GA/FL

Yep – with what recently happened in Boston, I’ve been thinking of getting the city to come turn off my gas line. It’s only for the gas logs and I have turned off the pilot light.

Pat Frederick

since we’ve moved here (12 yrs ago) there have been 2 other explosions in the area I used to live in–both in inner city areas –row homes with ancient systems. But when they blew, they took out entire blocks–devastating.
And I know they safeguard against it, but here in redneck territory where they hunt and/or poach year round it seems, there are many large exposed propane tanks and I just imagine someone idiot getting drunk and shooting at them…

Pat Frederick

Letter from Hse Homeland Security Cmte Chair Thompson to DHS Sec Nielsen: Your decision to refuse my invitation to testify before the Committee..regarding our Nation’s border security on February 6, 2019, is unreasonable and unacceptable. I strongly urge you to reconsider.
— Chad Pergram (@ChadPergram) January 29, 2019
DHS Sec. Nielsen’s response neutralizing Low Life Dem Thompson:
DHS: We are disappointed in Chairman Thompson’s misleading letter. To be clear, the Secretary did not ‘refuse’ the Chairman’s invitation to testify. In fact, she accepted the invitation and proposed alternative dates in February, as the proposed date of February 6 was unworkable
— Chad Pergram (@ChadPergram) January 30, 2019
DHS on Homeland Sec Cmte chair Thompson: Instead of calling the Dept or reaching out to the Sec to identify a mutually workable alternative date, the Chairman chose to release a letter falsely claiming the Secretary was refusing to testify. Such missives are unproductive

This is the young man who said MAGA people beat him up. Read the comments
.

Pat Frederick

it’s bizarre that this tweet of his is from 2011…what did President Trump do to him in that year?
but from stories I’ve been reading, he said their faces were covered–so how do we now “know” they were white guys? And he never said the MAGA line in his initial report. Officers READ that in media reports later and called him with follow up questions and he then “remembered” that he forgot that detail initially…hmmmmmm

Robbie Soave at Reason, who has also been closely following the Covington story, has an article about this, which has two different Chicago PD statements:
https://reason.com/blog/2019/01/29/chicago-police-deny-claim-that-jussie-sm
Unlikely these days that the accused demographic would be wandering around the Loop (which is, oddly, both normal and seedy) at 2 a.m. taunting someone. That’s a good recipe for trouble.
From a comment to Soave’s article:
https://reason.com/blog/2019/01/29/chicago-police-deny-claim-that-jussie-sm#comment_7651224
‘Anyone who is familiar with Chicago’s downtown realizes that this is a very bizarre story that just doesn’t seem plausible. Ignoring the implausibility of some people in ski masks randomly assaulting a minor celebrity and knowing who he is, there is also the curious case of where this is alleged to have occurred (in the Loop or South Shore area). The only visitors who tend to stay in that area are business people because of its proximity to the financial district and City Hall. And then there is the curious question of why he would go to Northwestern for medical treatment rather than U of Chicago (which is much closer). Such a bizarre tale.’
Correct on the hospital destination, too.

churchmouse

Someone later commented saying they had read the incident took place near Water Tower Place, still downtown but nice and north of the Loop. If that’s true, then Northwestern makes sense as a hospital destination.
Here’s the comment. The last two lines are relevant here:
https://reason.com/blog/2019/01/29/chicago-police-deny-claim-that-jussie-sm#comment_7651587
‘Now I know more about Chicago than I’ll ever need to use.
‘Chicago Loop community is nearest Near North Side and Near South Side communities.
Chicago Loop is on East Jackson Drive; go due east on Jackson you intersect South Lake Shore Drive.
Take South Lake Shore Drive south about 9 miles to South Shore community.
Then there’s South Loop 0.72 miles about a 6 minute drive southwest of Chicago Loop.
But the reports say approx. 2 a.m. Tue 29 Jan 2019, 300 block, E. North Water Street.
That’s about a mile north of Chicago Loop on the North Bank of the Chicago River.’

2/3 voters in Democrat districts back President Trump on Border Security!

Pat Frederick

they are definitely in a catch 22…they could look like heroes if they decide to side with the American citizens and take a good stand for the wall and security…but it would definitely cause them financial backing and perhaps their lives when the cartels (or their masters) decide they are no longer useful.

The cartels are completely without conscience – utterly ruthless.

No more lack of funds/salaries for Coast Guard in shutdowns!
No more poorly equipped, vulnerable Border Patrol!
No more porous, flimsy barriers on our southern border.
No more lack of funding for the wall, defense and surveillance of ALL our borders and coasts!

President Trump has said several times that coal can be piled up and set out in the weather and it is still always usable for fuel. If we are in a war, coal is the best way to cook, keep us warm and keep the electricity on in dire circumstances. Trains and ships can run on coal. Steam plants can run on coal.
Coal looks like the industry of the future.
https://www.whatech.com/market-research/energy/557764-opportunities-for-the-global-steam-turbine-market-for-power-generation-to-reach-15-7-billion-by-2023
I had not thought of coal that way until he said it, but I do know that it is true. Wood fires are good but coal burns much hotter and much longer than wood. We used it for heat when I was young in Ohio.
We have a lot of coal. Mining coal, storing it above ground and keeping it readily available is one of the best preparations we can make for survival and convenience.

Continuing my rant from yesterday, thought you’d find this interesting/amusing:
“Failed gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams gets a SOTU response participation trophy”
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2019/01/failed_gubernatorial_candidate_stacey_abrams_gets_a_sotu_response_participation_trophy.html
FTA: “Stacey Abrams lost the governor’s election. Her loss was then laminated when she took to news outlets calling her opponent Brian Kemp’s win a sign of “systematic erosion of our democracy.” Instead of graciously conceding, she refused to acknowledge the governor’s victory as legitimate, and when she finally gave her speech ten days later to officially end her candidacy, she said, “This is not a concession.” This is who is rewarded by the Democratic Party to speak to the American people in contrast to the president.” [SNIP]
“Remember that when she gives her rebuttal if she spews the Democrat’s argument that the wall is “too expensive.” She was chosen not for her accolades or contributions to politics, for which there are just many better Democrats. Her purpose in the response will be to sling as much mud onto the president as she can in her allotted time, with emotional arguments that further divide the citizens of this country with identity politics.”

Gil

Shes all too happy to take the scraps they offer. Her character and its content are lacking.

Marica

Oh–But she will get Memed into oblivion……and it will backfire. Wiley Coyote style!!🤣🤣🤣

Emeraldstar

I saw her “speech” the night of the election.
I couldn’t stand her pandering … and I noticed how insanely PLEASED she behaved, at the approval of the selected crowd in attendance.
Also, her sister is a Federal Judge in GA … and her legal Petition (for whatever – “unfairness”, etc.) was filed int THAT court.
No recusal, no nuthin’, from da “judge”.
Abrams is being groomed …

kea

Have they ever let someone who lost do this response?
I see MSM is trying to hammer sarah palin for a tweet. Of course they are.

GA/FL

Here we go with the Republican Traitor Cabal…First RINO to cast aspersions on President Trump for re-election in 2020 – Senator Collins.

Romney will likely be next.

michaelh

I expect that the people she represents are “not prepared” to endorse her in her next election. Just sayin’.

Emeraldstar

“Collins”
And Murkowski.
And Romney, as you say.
Uniparty operatives, no matter which nominal “party” they attend.

TheseTruths

What’s wrong with Collins and those like her?
On a related note, it would not surprise me if Ann Coulter were urging Chris Christie to run. She has backed him before, and he just came out with a loathsome book about the administration.

GA/FL

Christie prosecuted Kushner’s father….long story.

GA/FL

Of course, the new far left Democrats are against stopping human and drug trafficking and want to abolish ICE.

They have no compassion for the victims – because they support the Islamists – even ISIS – who are criminals – engaged in atrocities – barbarian violence – even trafficking in organs taken from live victims.

GA/FL

90% of voters do not want to trade Amnesty for the WALL!

Majority of voters support President Trump’s Border Security policies!!!

Have you ever seen wolf tracks in the winter snow? They do the same thing. Their paws go in a straight line. It’s an easy way to differentiate from a big dog since dogs no longer have that ability.
When the snow is deep and the pack is traveling, they will walk in line and take turns being in front breaking the trail. It’s when they find their prey they will spread out.
I love watching animals and their behavior in their own habitat, we can learn so much from them.
Thanks for the video! I got a good ole belly laugh from that one.

Iran, as Persia, was once a great country. But it is well worth noting that the Prince of Persia is not only a video game, but the DEVIL himself…

Second, the NAZIs (NAtionalsoZIalismus) were socialists, again on the LEFT side of the political spectrum.
These folks have no clue, or are consciously jerking the Overton Window FAR to the left. So that anyone to the right of Stalin is a right-wing radical…
Also worth noting, with regard to the left, Satanists follow the LEFT-HAND PATH.
Any wonder that libtards like the Klintoons and Øbozo are LEFTists? Sinister, no doubt…

Something about needing/wanting/loving them 25 percent MORE…
As in 25 percent MORE TARIFFS…
(Times were, back when I learned breadboards could also involve solder, that many of the connectors and supporting hardware came from companies like AMPhenol, Allied, and other AMERICAN companies.
Alas, no more. Foxconn is the connector king, and all the rest have all but disappeared. Same thing is true for the component manufacturers, like Sprague, for instance…).
P.S: These connectors, supporting hardware, components, etc., are STRATEGIC. Should we end up in a war with China, we wouldn’t be able to manufacture MANY electronic devices, subassemblies, etc. Not a good thing…

Pat Frederick

with all the duplicitous people surrounding the President, it’s amazing he’s managed to get as much done as he has!
Imagine getting a Congress who wanted to make America better—and a party that backed you—POTUS would be unstoppable.

NYGuy54

Just a few thoughts
a) Christie obviously thinks he is better than the President and harbors some resentment over how things transpired. He is really quick to smear people;
b) Did Bannon do anything right? He must be the most overhyped guy ever affiliated with the President;
c) Seems like a logical assumption that the President made a series of bad hiring decisions and it is costing him now. Makes me wonder about Barr a bit.

Elizabeth Carter

NY Guy, Glad you are here today.
Christie, Bannon, Tillerson, Priebus, McMaster, Mattis and all of the others that are gone now, made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. I asked my dog about that and she said that just means to stay on red alert. They are gone now and I don’t miss any of them.
They all thought/think they were/are better than VSP PDJT.
Even our dim darling AOC thinks she is smarter than President Trump and will probably run for President in 2024 if she can figure out what country she is running for and what economic platform might sound good to people dumber than herself. Hillary, Whoopie and Joyless Behar may even mentor her. Oprah might finance her. Michelle can be her wardrobe consultant. Pelosi can teach her to negotiate.
My boycott list just grows and grows.
Today, I have added the Koch Bros and all of their products to my boycott list. It even gets to the point that it is a political decision about what paper to use to wipe your butt. Who knew???!!
I know a lot of people who are doing the same. One person doesn’t make much of an impact, but apparently 63 million of us can turn the bottom line red for a lot of companies that believed they were untouchable and the “little people” are of no consequence.
I have whole countries on my boycott list. China is number one. I bought garlic about a month ago and a friend asked me if it was from China. I had no idea. I looked and sure enough it was. It went straight into the trash. I never buy Smithfield pork now because of China.
To make a long story a tiny bit shorter, I went to my grocery store the other day to see if I could get garlic from the USA. They now have 6 or so different packaged and loose garlic choices and all are from the USA, none were from China. I call that progress. If something is from China, I keep looking for something from USA. If I can’t stomach their ideology, I have decided it is not safe to eat what I can’t stomach.
When I look online for something, I filter with “Made in USA” as first choice.
One small step for MAGA; one great leap for world freedom.

I think what crosses a lot of people up is that VSGPDJT hires people like a high manager would do, not like a politician.
Have task, seek best person to do it (despite warts and bumps and baggage), get it done, send person on their way, as the project is done. I’ve seen projects with thousands of people hired, sometimes for a few years, only to be let go when the project it done.
Why should it be any different in geovernment?
For each one of those people listed, there was (at least) an exceptional qualification for a particular task. If they can do other things, great. If not, no problem. If I’m looking for a CPU designer, I don’t care if they can write printer/scanner drivers. Not relevant. Could actually be a distraction.
VSGPDJT is not afraid of saying “YOU’RE FIRED”.
But there are many, MANY managers, sad to say, who never learn that; and suffer the consequences.
I’d rather have a stream of one-task specialists (within reason) than a crew of generalists who churn and churn because they’re not completely up on what they need to do. Tillerson, for example, was key to getting together with KSA. Bannon did a lot of good, until he didn’t… Mattis was the Mad Dog we needed to build things up, and add bluff and bluster to what had become an impotent military.
Not every hire will be a good one. The genius of a great manager or leader is taking those “lemons” and making “lemonade” out of them, or casing them into the “BioTonne” for recycling. Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard were masters at that, with a VERY low failure rate. I think VSGPDJT has some of that in him, too…

Lurking Lawyer here. As explained previously on earlier threads, it is very unlikely that even the most biased 9th circuit judges would be able to block 10USC284(b)7. There are three lines of reasoning.
1. The law has been on the books since 1986, and was reaffirmed (via a renumbering amendment) in 2016 under Obama. It is very clear and very specific, so no possible questions about Congreasional intent.
2. No ‘human or constitutional rights’ are colorably involved, unlike the travel ban Where SCOtUS ultimately sided with PDJT.The law simply allows DoD, upon request from DHS, to build roads, fencing, and illumination to stop narcotics trafficing and transnational criminal organizations at our borders.
3. The only plaintiffs who conceivably would have standing to sue as ‘injured parties’ are drug traffickers like the Sinaloa Cartel and transnational criminal organizations like MS13.

Pat Frederick

thanks Nebraska! I do like to read ristvan’s take on some stuff.

Emeraldstar

I’m glad for Ristvan’s take – he is a “fallen” elite (or, “non-initiated”, though it seems he had the choice, and sided with US), and so, our ally … yet still, the theory of the law is often thwarted by the reality of the law.
IOW, people can do ALL SORTS of crap before they’re held accountable … and, by that time of accountability, there’s ALL SORTS of crap they can do to hopscotch to the next square.
The penalties / punishments don’t KEEP UP with the transgressions.
Lawfare …
Hey Ristvan … you’re ok in MY book. You did the right thing – and so, you get to live with yourself, and be content. Congrats! You avoided the trap …

Uh, Steve in CO – you might want to do something about this….
“The bill was proposed to Colorado’s Senate Committee on State, Veterans and Military Affairs by its chair, Sen. Mike Foote, D-Lafayette. And the committee passed it, voting along party lines after hours of testimony.
It’s part of a nationwide movement. Already 11 other states and the District of Columbia have adopted identical legislation, said Joe Miklosi, founder and CEO of Denver-based bridge consulting, who lobbies on behalf of the issue. Those states amount to 172 electoral votes of the 270 minimum to elect a president.
Colorado is one of seven other states expected to adopt the legislation this year, Miklosi said. Enough states, totaling those 270 votes at a minimum, must also pass the legislation before the agreement is activated.”

“On top of allowing Banderas to go full-snowflake, to declare free speech dangerous, to virtue signal at the expense of Trump’s God-given right to defend himself, Fox News is now an outlet that is embracing blacklists against its competition (Drudge, Breitbart, Judicial Watch), allowing bitter conspiracy theorist Judge Napolitano to spread his bitter anti-Trump conspiracy theories, that caved on Trump’s caravan ad, that backed CNN’s lawsuit in defense of Acosta’s right to heckle the president and manhandle female White House staffers, that gives open borders extremist Jorge Ramos a microphone, that smeared Breitbart over our accurate reporting on a Google bombshell, that attempted to derail Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court appointment with what could have only been a well-rehearsed talking point involving the fake news use of the word “credible.”
What the hell is the matter with Fox News?

Indeed.
First, everyone knew on Monday (if not earlier) that Tuesday was going to be the start of the coldest weather in recorded history in Chicago and elsewhere in the Midwest.
There were weather warnings all over the place (e.g. don’t breathe with your mouth uncovered). Someone is going to go out mugging in historic cold at 2 a.m.?
So, now we know his flat is in Streeterville. It’s not in the Loop or in the South Shore community, as was reported or rumoured elsewhere (see older comments on this thread). Despite its name, Streeterville is in quite a $$$ neighbourhood near Water Tower Place. That is Chicago’s best shopping and dining district.
Like New York, Chicago is the last place anyone would ever wear a MAGA hat, especially at 2 a.m.
This is odd. Surveillance cameras turn up nothing, yet:
‘Smollett, 36, returned to his apartment and his manager called police from there about 40 minutes later, Guglielmi said. When officers arrived, the actor had cuts and scrapes on his face and the “thin rope” around his neck that he said had been put there by his assailant, he said. Smollett later went to Northwestern Memorial Hospital after police advised him to do so.’
Hmm … HMM …
Now we await news on the letter (from the article):
‘The FBI is investigating a threatening letter targeting Smollett that was sent last week to the Fox studio in Chicago where “Empire” is filmed, Guglielmi said. The FBI did not immediately return a call seeking comment Wednesday …’

Foxconn apparentl y pulled a con on wisconsin and POTUS. they are NOT going to manufacture there or anywhere in the U.S. saying its too expensive. All they want to do is manufacture in china, assemble in mexico, and sell to U.S. IOW, exactly what we dont want and the opposite of MAGA. Walker and POTUS supported the deal, plus they got tax breaks. Now they just say, eh, too expensive.
We shouldnt buy their products, period. What was the point of making a deal if they werent serious?
Wisconsin promised more than $3 billion in subsidies to Foxconn, a Taiwan-based manufacturer of smart phone parts, to lure the tech giant to suburban Milwaukee. Former Republican Gov. Scott Walker promised that “working families would reap the benefits” of the giveaway, and President Donald Trump flew to Wisconsin last June to participate in a ceremonial groundbreaking for the plant. The project was an example of “reclaiming our country’s proud manufacturing legacy,” Trump said.
Now? There may not be a Foxconn factory built in Wisconsin at all.
“In Wisconsin we’re not building a factory,” Louis Woo, a high ranking assistant to Terry Gou, Foxconn’s chairman, tellsReuters. Instead of a manufacturing facility that was supposed to create 13,000 blue collar jobs, Foxconn is reconsidering its plans and is likely to turn the Wisconsin facility into a “technology hub” that would include research facilities and the production of specialized tech products. The jobs created are likely to be “knowledge” positions—in other words, not blue collar jobs—Woo tells Reuters. That’s something Foxconn had already acknowledged was likely in November when The Wall Street Journal reported that the company was planning to import workers from Taiwan and China to meet its hiring goals in Wisconsin.
Foxconn is already lagging well behind its job-creation promises. While the company originally promised to create 5,200 jobs by the end of 2020, Foxconn said earlier this month that the actual number would be about 1,000.
https://reason.com/blog/2019/01/30/foxconn-is-not-building-a-factory-in-wis

‘“Usually a criminal on probation is forthcoming and admits what they need to admit. You haven’t admitted much,” Alsup told lawyers for the company at a hearing Wednesday in federal court in San Francisco.

Huge Sex Trafficking Bust in California Nets Hundreds of Arrests
“Fourteen minors were among the nearly 50 victims of human trafficking rescued during a sting across California that netted 339 arrests, law enforcement officials said Tuesday,” according to KTLA.
The report said that minors as young as six were rescued during the operation, which included 93 human trafficking task forces across a three day span.

Wonderful news.
It’s sad that this has gone on so long and become a major industry. Sometimes I just shake my head at how low humanity has gone.

TheseTruths

That’s good news. I’d like to know where the minors came from. Were they kidnapped from this country, and on a list of missing people? Were they children from other countries who were caught up in the illegal immigrant activities of their families (or kidnapped from their home countries)? I’m wondering if some children will now be united with their families, or if these were orphans, etc.

Gil

Understand, a significant majority of human trafficking is Americans by Americans. A LOT of minors are from foster care who run away, dont want to follow rules, etc, who hook up with older men or women who put them into prostitution or theft rings.

This is disturbing on so many levels. Facial recognition, iris scans, and tracking you to “buy ice cream”? What about children? This is in real time. How easy would it be for pedophile networks to buy iff those who monitor and scan to then inform the pedos to come pick up a kid who seems alone?
Seriously, Ill never step foot in a store that does this.
Walgreens is piloting a new line of “smart coolers”, which are refrigerators equipped with cameras that scan shoppers’ faces and make inferences on their age and gender. On January 14, the company announced its first trial at a store in Chicago. The drugstore chain plans to put the coolers in stores in New York, Seattle, and San Francisco by the end of January.
Walgreens is getting paid to install smart coolers.
So far, 15 large advertisers have signed up to test the Cooler Screens platform, including Nestlé SA, MillerCoors LLC, and Conagra Brands Inc.  While Cooler Screens is currently only in Walgreens stores, the company is looking to get their product in additional chains as well.
The technology embeds cameras, sensors, and digital screens in cooler doors, creating a network of “smart” displays that marketers intend to use to target ads to specific types of shoppers, explains The Wall Street Journal:
The refrigerator and freezer doors act as a digital merchandising platform that depicts the food and drinks inside in their best light, but also as an in-store billboard that can serve ads to consumers who approach, based on variables such as the approximate age the technology believes they are, their gender and the weather.
This new technology could provide brick-and-mortar stores with a marketplace similar to online advertising. Ice cream brands could duke it out to get the most prominent placement when it is 97 degrees outside; an older man could see ads for different products than a younger woman. (source)
Here’s what the screens look like:
But don’t worry. It’s not facial recognition.
In Now Your Groceries See You, Too, Sidney Fussell writes of the technology:
Crucially, the “Cooler Screens” system does not use facial recognition. Shoppers aren’t identified when the fridge cameras scan their face. Instead, the cameras analyze faces to make inferences about shoppers’ age and gender. First, the camera takes their picture, which an AI system will measure and analyze, say, the width of someone’s eyes, the distance between their lips and nose, and other micro measurements. From there, the system can estimate if the person who opened the door is, say, a woman in her early 20s or a male in his late 50s. It’s analysis, not recognition. (source)
So, wait a second here – the camera takes photos of people and analyses them, but because this isn’t actual “facial recognition” there isn’t anything to worry about?
I’m not buying it.
Here are the minute details that smart coolers record.
Cooler Screens also has “iris tracking” capabilities, meaning the company can collect data on which displayed items are the most looked at.
Most the reporting on this technology is downplaying another detail that should be raising eyebrows: The Cooler Screens website states “We believe brands should be able to measure the performance of media buys in real-time.”
It sounds like what they really mean is “brands should be able to spy on shoppers.” Advertisers think nothing of invading our privacy if it means they’ll make more money. Remember when we showed you how your smart device was tracking every move you made in real time?
https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2019-01-30/now-refrigerators-are-watching-us-too-smart-coolers-are-coming-store-near-you

TheseTruths

I HATE this kind of thing. Aside from the invasion of privacy, it’s like phone menus that never have the option I need, or surveys with multiple choice questions that do not have the answer that applies to my situation. I might pass a cooler in a store and look at a product with no intention of buying it, ever. They don’t know why I looked at it. They will get no usable information in cases like that. All this does is spy on us.
I’d like a list of stores that go this route. I hope some don’t, and advertise that fact. Despite claims of anonymity, I have no doubt that some in law enforcement can’t wait to get their hands on it.
It’s the same with smart appliances and smart homes, for me. Big Brother can go…well, you know.

I was just told that courts in CA are starting to get facial recognition. I agree on stores.

I was always surprised this chap never got more exposure at CTH. He writes for Big League Politics and was on a lot of Fox News shows in 2016, especially near the end of the campaign. According to his Twitter profile, he’s on the 2020 advisory board for PDJT’s re-election campaign:

Texas Democrats Seek To Ban Christianity Using So-Called Anti-Discrimination Laws
If the Texas legislature passes these bills, Christians near and far should be concerned about how their freedoms will be curtailed in the coming years.

I mean, no surprise here.
After all the other stuff that has surfaced over the years, plus the way that HusseinO acts…and then there was Reggie Love…I am one of those who figured that he was gay.
But it’s good to get this confirmation.
So if Joan Rivers was right about him, then she was probably right about Michelle being a tranny.

Recently released FBI documents from decades ago have found the family of Nancy Pelosi might have had deep ties to organized crime. One America’s Kristian Rouz examines the reports.

And this interesting thread reader of Jeffrey Petersonus whose former boss and friend is past DHS Sec. Janet Napolitano tells more….
So people have been asking me, Jeff, is Janet Napolitano friendly with Pelosi? Um, what do you think. Napolitano QUIT as DHS secretary under mysterious circumstances, and MOVED to the San Francisco bay area, a few years ago. So, draw your own conclusions.

A Handy Guide To Facial Expressions
How do you tell if someone is hatefully sneering at you or just smiling? It’s a difficult task. We consulted with over 500 facial expression experts, showing them various images and asking them to identify which ones were a normal human emotion and which ones were literally Hitler. If a video ever comes out of someone making one of these expressions and you need a quick hot take to tweet out, consult this handy chart:comment image

I thought I was on today’s open thread when I posted this in yesterday’s open thread. You may skip by as it is two parts and a bit long but I think it’s notable for some strange reason.
I watched that Joe DiGenova vid Churchmouse left us further up the thread (yesterday’s thread). At the end of vid the youtube panel gave four more suggestions to watch and that’s when I spotted Barron’s face. Figured why not and got this:
Okay, that’s interesting, posted on 18 Jan 2019 and new news to me but I’m sure some of you have run across this information before. But would wonder if anyone jumped down this rabbit hole. Seems quite interesting.
Meanwhile did a Wikipedia check on Ingersoll Woodward and found that page started on 8 Oct 2017 just weeks before Q’s first post. (Interesting to me because it fits my Q theory. My confrontational bias noted, and it well can fit the normal theories also because of the same. Certainly wouldn’t hurt it, I’m sure. Meanwhile making no serious comments on the vid. Take from it what you wish, I am 🙂 )
Next stop because I saw it in the links was Snopes.
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/baron-trumps-marvelous-underground-journey/
Snopes tries to knock the connection of current events to past events and is barely able to scratch those connections in the fact check. In fact quite the opposite, but hey, they tried. Interesting they had an interest. They are obviously aware of Q and working hard at all things anti-trump and even anti Q.
Anyway, had to dig some more and went to the Library of Congress where the books exist and you can read and or listen to them.
https://archive.org/details/library_of_congress?sort=titleSorter&and%5B%5D=Lockwood,%20Ingersoll 1900 or The Last Presdient is 48 pages and audio available.
Baron Trump’s marvellous underground journey 1841 published 1893 is 240 pages and audio is available.
What about a hard copy?
Book search. Amazonbooks is null, natta, nothing.
Steve’s suggestion for rare books was AbeBooks.com so I tried that. Here’s the result. https://www.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchResults?sts=t&cm_sp=SearchF-_-home-_-Results&an=Ingersoll+Lockwood&tn=&kn=&isbn=
Hey! Under $4 to $7.00 for The Last President and under $9.00 for the Baron Trump’s Marvellous Underground Journey.
Anyway that’s that. Thought I should bring it up. And thank Steve for mentioning Abebooks.com 🙂
Oh, if you get inclined to buy something at Abe’s and are stuck on a choice recommends Andre Servier’s Islam and the Psychology of Musselman https://www.abebooks.com/servlet/SearchResults?isbn=1936659158&cm_sp=mbc-_-ISBN-_-
Which again, you can likely find free on the internet.

Didn’t copy from yesterday’s post. All of what I was talking about when I said. Figured why not and got this:

(I responded to you on the previous thread, but meant to write here.)
This is fascinating. I had heard of the book but not all the other elements mentioned in the video. The similarities to the present day are eerie.

Yeah, sorry about the other thread thing.
I leave my page open and its there when I start up again.
Meanwhile same here, especially when he wrote about the SOTU at the end. Too eerie that.
Have heard of Tesla but not checked into.
If any credence is to be given this, is wondering if it’s more about remote viewing as opposed to an actual machine.
Thinks I’m going to spend some time on this if I can find it.

The tip-off was when Wray snapped last week and attacked President Trump, saying he was tired of “Trump and his bullshit.” Wray lost his cool after his agents threw tantrums about missing one paycheck during the government shutdown. Instead of telling them to buck up and hit their credit union for a bridge loan, Wray went the other way — telling his agents that Trump was playing political football with their careers.
“It was embarrassing. I was embarrassed for the Bureau, for what it should represent,” the insider said. “For what it used to represent.”
No one told Wray that complaints only run up a flag pole when you lead an Intel agency. You never bitch and moan with the rank-and-file unless you’re drinking at a wake.

Wray is not presenting himself as being Director material or on the up and up.

judyw

I never liked his condescending attitude during testimony. So, do you think he is a place holder?

michaelh

Based on what we’ve seen *publicly* from Wray, I wouldn’t be surprised if he got hit by the Barr. But “one way or the other” (Trump’s problem solving) unless something surprising happens I think he’ll be gone.

michaelh

I am definitely giving him the benefit of the doubt at the moment, part of the reason for my careful phrasing. Instead of “His actions show he’s bad” I’m aiming for “His actions don’t bode well for him being good.”
But we have to be careful too… Too many times the stories turned out to be nothing more than insiders engaging in character assassination.

para59r

I think we are still waiting for some sort of response to Wray’s unwelcome and untimely comment? Does anyone know or has it been mentioned anything about a response from the administration on this? I’ve missed a good chunk of yesterday and all of today and then ran down a rabbit hole.
Sorry about bracketing you like that judyw.

para59r

Okay, went down the rabbit hole and read “1900 or the last president” since it is quite short. Then dug around a bit more and found this.
From the Federalist Papers a so so summary I’ll use to skip over much of the book and get to the ending which I want to do.
“This book’s sequel came three years later, titled “1900, Or The Last President.”
What is happening in this book? A new President was just elected, one who ran as an outsider with an enormous opposition. Right before the election results were announced, all seemed well with a certain crowd, a crowd who were rather sure of which candidate would win the election (sound familiar?).
The people were gathered, light-hearted and confident, at the evening meal, when the news burst upon them. It was like a thunder bolt out of an azure sky : “ Altgeld holds Illinois hard and fast in the Democratic line. This elects Bryan President of the United States !”
(It is quite possible that he was referring to William Jennings Bryan, who ran his first Presidential campaign in 1896; this is only speculation on my part, though).
In New York City, when the results were announced, swaths of the city were placed on lockdown due to masses of violent protesters storming the area.
Strange to say, the people in the upper portion of the city made no movement to rush out of their houses and collect in the public squares, although the night was clear and beautiful. They sat as if paralyzed with a nameless dread, and when they con- versed it was with bated breath and throbbing hearts.
In less than half an hour, mounted policemen dashed through the streets calling out : “ Keep
within your houses ; close your doors and barricade them. The entire East side is in a state of uproar. Mobs of vast size are organizing under the lead of Anarchists and Socialists, and threaten to plunder and despoil the houses of the rich who have wronged and oppressed them for so many years. Keep within doors. Extinguish all lights.”
And their rallying cry?
“Our day has come at last. Down with our oppressors ! Death to the rich man ! Death to the gold bugs ! Death to the capitalists ! Give us back the money you have ground out of us. Give us back the marrow of our bones which you have used to grease the wheels of your chariots.”
That kind of sentiment certainly sounds rather familiar, does it not?
Another strange reference is the “Fifth Avenue Hotel.” As Newsweek notes, the address in the original book is now where Trump Tower stands on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan.
The Fifth Avenue Hotel will be the first to feel the fury of the mob. Would the troops be in time to save it?
Buried deep in the novel is yet another eerie detail: this newly elected President has a cabinet member whose last name is Pence. Lafe Pence is the Secretary of Agriculture in the story.
Talk about freaky, some of these descriptions sound more like stories that we have reported over the past year rather than historical fiction!”
While there is more in this short book that seems uncanny than just those passages above and what’s seen in the vid, the very last part of the book is most strange as it has the speaker of the house denying the president from giving the SOTU address after which the House goes into chaos and then the speaker relents. Book ends with the dome of the capitol bldg being blown up with dynamite, but everyone is okay and the vote to what seems to be dissolve the union into three separate states takes place.
Important note. The first time the SOTU was given was by Wilson, is in 1913. The book was written 1841 and published in 1893. Neat trick.
Lessor notes. In first post above I called Lockwood, Woodward. Mistake.
And the video is actually three separate vids shown as one. Suggests you stop with the first part though the second part deals with time travel & Nikola Teslais however gets a bit derogatory towards President Trump. While the last part has nothing to do with anything on this subject and is some sort of propaganda piece attacking the shut down. That said, I doubt mystic circle who published the vid has any idea about the last part being stitched onto the back of their piece but who knows.

michaelh

Thank goodness that McKinley defeated Bryan!

para59r

Yes, but notice another piece in the book in that this Bryan was elected not by the popular vote but by the electoral collage.
That and the speaker of the house deny’s him to give the SOTU until their is an uproar in the house at which time the speaker relents. Mind you the book was written in 1841, published in 1896 and Wilson was the first to give speech in front of Congress in 1913
Then there is much to about the economy as this Brayn raises up small business in his first years and has a strong economy until it is sunk by the forces he ran against.
This little book should have a revisit as it seems more prophetic than first thought.

para59r

Understood but it’s in the Library of Congress. Not fake. Has been there over a century. Posted link to that, but posts again.
https://archive.org/details/library_of_congress?sort=titleSorter&and%5B%5D=Lockwood,%20Ingersoll
There are the other elements of this coming into vogue just before Q’s first post and the Wikipedia pages starting up after the president was elected but this book has always been there.
My guess it’s Q that brought this back into the light. You and others have a different opinion of who Q is. I’m good with that. This doesn’t harm your theory nor mine. Though mine is a bit more dangerous.
Glad were posting where no one is reading. But maybe you should delete this if you understand where I’m coming from.

Besides Wolf, how did the KGB-CIA get the house speaker refusing the president to give the SOTU? Last three pages in the book.
