Welcome! The door is open, come on inside.
This Comfy Q Tree Saturday 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.
Remember – your greatest gift to President Trump is FIVE WORDS:
I AM PRAYING FOR YOU.
See the January 1st daily thread for the rules of the road, which are few but important.
Wheatie’s Rules:
- No food fights.
- No running with scissors.
- If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.

After a long period of silence, we got a couple of Q posts today. Welcome back, Q!
After a long period of staying at the White House to fight for our Border Security, our favorite President finally gets to go to Mar A Lago for the weekend.
Enjoy your weekend, Mr. President! Thank you for fighting for us. We love you!
Oh my goodness, that young man looks like he may have a 33 inch inseam already.
Yep, I’d say so…probably even a 34 inch inseam.
He may end up taller than his brother Eric!
I bet he will. Handsome young man.
Love Melania’s boots. Drool. And her coat. Vicuna color looks great with the red bag.
FLOTUS Melania, another home run. Perfectly matched boots, red bag for the punch. Reminds me of my mother. Melania is sensational.
That coat is absolutely a classic.
I used to think Barron was the spitting image of his Father, but in these photos I begin to see Melania’s features. Lucky Barron has good-looking genes no matter who he resembles 😊
I love our First Family 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I agree, Alison…I see both of them in his features.
Lucky Barron!
There’s no way he was ever going to be anything other than gorgeous.
Haaa.
So do
I
, Alison.
If his father is 6’3″, it looks like Barron is six feet easy. At 12. Men don’t finish growing until their 20s. For him, the sky is the limit. Literally.
Wonder if Barron is into basketball? His Dad was exceptional at sports, obviously golf but at one point considered trying out for minor league baseball…
I don’t know about basketball…but he’s really into Soccer.
For some reason I’m under the impression he’s into volleyball, although I could be wrong. With his height advantage, he could be a powerhouse in his age/grade category.
Wow, the trafficking is really laid out here.
Also, someone asked a question that I didn’t hear and PT told them to listen to the SOTU. I got the impression it will be more than edifying, if you get my drift.
“President Trump Meets to Discuss Fighting Human Trafficking on the Southern Border“
Saving for later.
Oh, I forgot to scream FIRST. 🙂
Wheatie– I just posted this 2 minutes ago:
AND your Tree pics are my FAVORITE!!!! I always feel a sense of “safe and comfy” when your Giant Tree pops up! Like when I was a little girl and reading CS Lewis and I was worry free and HAPPY!
K–Now I am safe and comfy!! maybe now I will consider eating a Moon Pie? Naw? Little Debbie Oatmeal Cream Pie…Or a Twinkie 😉
Here’s a cozy, cute video for you, Marica. It kinda reminds me of POTUS and Barron.
Linda!!! Love this!! and thank you!! Cannot wait til the day we all get to meet up in person. I am still pushing for a girls weekend at Daughns!! Sooner rather than later!!!
Haaaa.
I’m so glad you like the tree pics!
😀
How about a brownie:
homemade!!! Mores the better!! I need Moar Milk!!!
“If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.”
Be careful, Treehouse is getting bigger…

Indeed, you are right!
Thanks, Michael!
And…Wow, that’s a mountain of brownies.
Yum!
I hope these are paleo walnut dark chocolate brownies!
Looks good. But……
I’d prefer…. NO NUTS!
Our country is full of ’em already 🙂
Just looking at that photo put five pounds where I don’t want it.
Oh-oh. Looks like Northam’s days are numbered:
Breaking: Virginia Black Caucus, House Democrat Caucus and Senate Democrat Caucus Call on Governor Northam to Resign… Update: McAuliffe Too
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2019/02/virginia-black-caucus-house-democrat-caucus-call-on-governor-northam-to-resign/
It’s ironic how the witch hunters always end up hunting their own and need to judge history from today’s social justice perspective. Also, it’s ok to align with nazi’s when it comes to infanticide but and old picture in blackface surfaces and it’s lynchin time. I don’t feel at all sorry for him but this is a very dangerous and Orwellian time for everybody
That is what happens to the “High and Mighty”… that don’t know the Lord……
or “Holier than thou” types…… You know…. those that THINK that they are BETTER than everyone else…..
Geez! And Virginia was just beginning to turn the corner away from slavery!! So much for the great White hope!
Thank you, Wheatie! COZY, COMFY, AND WELCOMING IT IS!!! 😎 😀 <3
Thank you, boss.
😀
And you’re very welcome…my pleasure!
The sad legacy of abortion?
?zz=1
All across the country…there are abandoned School Buildings.
With millions of babies killed by abortion, that means millions of kids that didn’t go to school.
http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_pNnotkTkc_w/S9T1HwgOIGI/AAAAAAAAAdI/W30E2kpvb0A/s1600/Abandoned+Places+C.JPG
.
Now, I realize that some of the abandoned schools could be due to loss of Jobs in the area…due to a factory closing…so people moved away.
But not all of them.
There are abandoned school buildings all over the country.
This could be one of the reasons why Dems have done such an about face on illegal aliens.
They want the children of those illegals in our schools!
To make up for the loss of all those aborted children that never got the chance to go to school.
WOW. Stunning to think about.
And–Beautiful buildings… Hey–We are only 2 years into the TRUMP Reign!–you know–from the History books of 2080 when they actually give him credit!–Ron DeSantis ending Common CORE in Florida, 307,000 new jobs in January 2019!, 50% increase in Manufacturing jobs! and New SUPREME court with the Great Awakening of Americans to Infanticide! We are gonna need MOAR schools!!! I know you are always positive Wheatie!! But it is coming in a big GIANT American ReBIRTH kinda way!!!
Yes!
Thank you, Marica…you are so right.
Let’s hope we see a flood of new babies being born…to our citizens…to fill our schools once again!
Gen Z–they Get it!! Flep has been talking about them for a long time! and Mr+–is Always right!!!😉😎
Hmmmm. Let’s fill the homes, the ranches, the farms…and keep the children home, educated by their parents. Thus saith the “pioneer” mother of those who were educated from home…yes, through “high school.”
This is a choice, of course, but read the history of “public” education: the Cabal at work. We were never given children in order to relinquish them to others for educating. Want them to become competent adults? Raise them in the presence of such, rather then incubating them in pots of peers.
I hear ya, Roberta.
And I agree…home schooling is great.
Some people are unable to do it, though, for various reasons.
That is why there is room for both tracks.
Roberta–I raised 3–pulled them out of Catholic School and put them in a ‘tiny Catholic school–glorified home school”– 6-8 kids in each class.. they learned Latin and Faith and Manners beyond what I could teach them..I taught the Kindergarten! (SO stinking much fun!)
My Sis has 6! She home schools/ed them all!!! Through High school as well!! She is my hero!! but honestly–I would have probably sucked at this job.
Marica, you made the best decision for your kids. Go Mom! And your sister is a saint!
that she is!! Youngest is 12…She is still shuttling her to ballet and HipHop! Augh!!I get tired just hearing her schedule!!!
This is so encouraging to hear, Marica!
Getting the government completely out of education management at all levels would be a great start on curing everything that ails America.
Massie has again submitted his one page bill to shut down the Department of Education.
There are competing theories to the advent of public education as simply being a cabal, factory operation. One was to have a counter to parochial schools which were popping up as the immigrant communities built them in the latter part of the 19th century. But another one, and this is interesting even if it is not exactly true, it was partially to have a place to put kids who were enterprising as youths and were in business competition with adults. It’s been years now, but I read something about newsboys and the resentment that they brought about. I doubt that’s the only reason, but business sense is business sense, and those who have it will succeed and drive out competition.
I read extensively as I prepped to keep my babies home. Somewhere in the archives are the books, including histories regarding John Dewey.
“educated by their parents”
As in…… One (Male) Dad and
One (Female) Mom
Side note: did you see where the DOJ brought charges against some people for Chinese birth tourism? First time ever that charges were brought. First time!
Yes, I saw that! Isn’t it great?
We’ve got to get that crap outlawed…it is an outrage.
“Birth Citizenship” needs to be re-visited by the courts.
We apparently have laws that allow them to come to the US for “medical care.” That law and BR citizenship CANNOT be allowed to exist at the same time. But, then, this completely inaccurate interpretation of the 14th Amendment needs to be stopped.
This happened in 2015 but I don’t know what charges, if any, resulted.
“Southern California apartment complexes that doubled as “maternity hotels” for Chinese women who want made-in-America babies were raided early Tuesday, capping an unprecedented federal sting operation, officials said.
NBC News was on the scene as Homeland Security agents swept into The Carlyle, a luxury property in Irvine, California, which housed pregnant women and new moms who allegedly forked over $40,000 to $80,000 to give birth in the United States.
“I am doing this for the education of the next generation,” one of the women told NBC News.
None of the women were arrested; they are being treated as material witnesses, and paramedics were on hand in case any of them went into labor during the sweep.
Instead, the investigation was aimed at ringleaders who pocketed hundreds of thousands of dollars tax-free to help Chinese nationals obtain visas and then pamper them until they delivered in an American hospital at a discount, court papers show.”

Pro Tip:
It’s easier to have more babies when Momma can stay at home, and Daddy has a steady job with wages that are going UP UP UP!
Exactly so, Michael.
Or even…Dad staying home, because Mom has a job paying well enough to support the family.
Some guys love being a stay-at-home Dad.
Sorry, they maybe guys but they ain’t men.
excellent Point Michael!! Old days!! –Chicago (the band) Days That I remember!!!
I’m here to tell you that the defense industry in the 70s was no fun. My dad got a degree in a second field just in case.
Here’s that one pic that didn’t show up because I didn’t do it right:
.
Looks like a viable building to me…like it would still be in use, if there were students to fill it.
In many communities these buildings are rented out by the board owners to others…other school models (think “faith based,” and other private schools), community centers, etc. And then they become public schools again as the demographics of the communities change.
They turned my old high school into condos. It was a donation from the steel guy Andrew Carnegie built in 1898. Both Timothy Leary (of Beatles song fame) and Dr. Suess, cat in the hat fame) wandered those halls before I got there.
Not sure if the pic comes out, but you can chop off after the back slash before ‘images’ if not to see it.
I visit lots of school districts for inspections. In smaller communities they typically are the largest employer. When they build new schools there is typically no buyer for their older facilities. So they either end up using them in a limited capacity or they get abandonded because they cannot afford to maintain them. But most of these pics really mean brand new schools were built to support a growing population. Lots of illegal kids. And of course with bathrooms labeled, All Gender.
You’re right about the aborted children and the empty classrooms and schools. School enrollment has been steadily decreasing, even from stable economic areas. Been happening for at least 2 decades.
By being rabid abortion supporters, the Democrat Teacher’s unions are putting themselves out of a job.
Democrat teachers deserve to be out of a job, too…for all the leftist indoctrination they’ve been forcing on our kids.
It’s one of the ironies that leftists will never admit. They limited the number of supporters on purpose. The other side didn’t as much.
It takes families to make a good school. Didn’t we lose 20K farms a year under the Obama Admin?
Our house is next door to the school. When we bought our house, it had been abandoned for 23yrs. The little girl who lived next door to me at the time, cried and cried when she learned I was moving into this house. A whole generation of school children thought the house was haunted. She thought I would surely die.
Many thought I was crazy to want a home next door to a school. Are you kidding? No car pools. Throw your kids over the fence. Preferred hang out for your own kids. Great meeting spot. The fact that our house was next to the school was half the reason I wanted to buy it.
Two of my girlfriends were the #2 and #3 in charge of our school district.
We had a 3 1/2 car three sided garage, which we enclosed and blew up to put a suite above it and a game room below. My two friends would pile up in that game room, smoke cigarettes, drink scotch, and write grants for the school. Writing the grants became a group effort as we pulled in other friends for expertise. We brought home millions of dollars.
Schools require unlimited attention and a bottomless pit of money.
Have to have families that care.
A community naturally centers around a school.
And yes, the unions and bad leadership have been horrible to that end.
Daughn, you are just inspiring. May your tribe increase.
where I used to live they took 2 of these abandoned school buildings and turned them into assisted living facilities. they are really nice–centrally located.
I used to live next to a school and they ripped the school douwn. Now there is a doctor office on the space. The loss of school changed demographic of neighborhood.
I taught my children montassori in the home. I barely spoke English but did it. When my kids got to Kindergarden all could read knew math and had organizing skills.
The kids became high achievers in school and I learnend reading with them. They corrected me if I did not pronounce properly. They are also byligual.
I taught them also every day living skills, cooking, sowing on buttons, ironing cleaning and love for gardening. My boys are the cooks in their house. They love gardening also. My daughter is an excellent cook and knitter.
We have to pas on what we learned concerning life skills that is the job as parent or grandparent.
We also need to be story teller and tell our story overcoming adversity.
Just looking at some of the photos, those are city schools. It’s also a testament to the flight to the suburbs. That’s what happened here.
In addition to schools, the imploding birth rate effected the number of clergy and lay religious. Bigger families tend to produce at least one person destined to religious life even if we do have our fair share of only children who ended up priests.
One of those schools is in Wyoming…the golden one, 3rd down from top.
Probably a ‘county school’ where kids came for miles to attend.
The top one is in a Texas small town.
Some of the abandoned schools around the country are a result of urban flight…but not all.
I said SOME were from the cities. At least two look enough like the William Itner schools in the city here, it was a dead give away.
Oh, I know, DP…I was agreeing with you.
Heh.
Just thought you might like to know the story on those two.
When I did an image search on ‘abandoned schools’, I tried to pick a variety.
Some of the big abandoned school buildings in big cities are impressive…and were beautiful in their day.
It’s sad to see the decay.
And what percentage of current school kids are illegals?
I don’t know, but it’s higher than ever before.
Here in OK, some schools have had to hire extra teachers who speak Spanish…(!!)…in order to teach the little darlings how to speak English.
But statistics on the actual number of illegals in our schools, are hard to come by.
Imagine that.
We have no way of knowing how many are here across the entire country so how would we know how many illegal alien children are in our schools?
This is something you once only heard about happening in Eastern Europe. Make sure you get down to the last couple of paragraphs so you see it’s not a one off.
https://www.news.com.au/travel/world-travel/north-america/man-who-died-in-mexico-flown-home-without-brain-stomach-and-heart/news-story/6474b0c9a1131613c48d4101a23da44c
Hey, maybe their drivers licences said ‘organ donor’. Story doesn’t say and I think we are to assume not.
Another serious reason to stay out of Mexico. It seems as if a “fight” is instigated in order to insure a visit to the hospital for organ harvesting.
Unfortunately it makes one wonder if there is not a parallel system here in this country. Graph in this country is much more sophisticated due to numerous laws but the criminal element usually finds a way around the laws so as not to b detected especially when the pay out is great enough. Example might be cash strapped hospitals. Another reason to think twice about putting organ donor down on your driver licence.
Hmmm….just getting ready to renew my license – think I might change that organ donor box.
I have read that Chicago is a hotbed and those shootings are often targeted. Here’s a video speaking about it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4b16wVcEvY
I agree! My daughter is a director at a hospital and we had this convo just today. Scary stuff.
para, I read or heard recently that our news media will never tell us that many of the Mexican cartels have a practice of cutting out and eating the hearts of their victims…..we don’t know what we don’t know and it is cause to pause and be patient with people who are just learning what we’ve known for what seems like eons of time.
Check this out. This was earlier today on 8chan before Q posted. That post in the middle sounds exactly like POTUS:
Click on the graphic and it will come up much bigger so you can read it.
I have tears For this Amazing man. I WILL STAY PATIENT. AND NEVER WAVER! He’s our GUY! God Anointed him.
Wow. That *does* sound exactly like him, doesn’t it.
Very Qewl.
Q+ 🙂
It does sound like him, even if a skilled writer is mimicing his speech pattern. And I am most gratified to see the word I’ve associated with this whole exercise since the beginning.
REVENGE
Yes, it’s a dish best served cold by Navy SEALs, and N(o) S(uch) A(gency).
For some reason, it’s always felt like revenge. The anon did say there were many helping who had been compromised and wanted to redeem themselves. That’s why I still contend that we don’t know what we don’t know, and we have no idea who has flipped or is a double agent for either side.
I am patient, and I LOVE MY PRESIDENT!!!!!
Has anyone seen a decode for the picture of the fighter planes?
Yes, on the previous Open Thread, you’ll see some posts about it. 🙂
Yep, the tone is exactly POTUS!
Wheatie!! I really needed your tree tonite!!! Thank YOU!!! Good nite and God Bless you and your Family!!! Hugs!!!
G’night, Marica.
Thank you for being you…and sweet dreams!
California Parents Sue to Block ‘Inclusivity’ Instruction in Schools
https://www.theepochtimes.com/california-parents-sue-to-block-inclusivity-trainings-in-schools_2785338.html
Unfortunately for the left, there is a limited and shrinking supply bigotry in the United States for them to capitalize on, thus they are forced to invent it wherever they can.
There should be a form of Oppression for conspiracy minded types in there. Maybe label them as Esoteric types and their privilege group might be ‘happily educated’ targeted by the ‘the general establishment’.
That line about Christians is awful. Target Group: ‘all others’? Wow.
Thanks for the link and for posting the graphic with it. I probably would not have read the article otherwise.
Yeah, that seems a little backwards
Sounds pretty bad to me — as if Christians are persecuting everyone. That does not bode well for the future.
Yeah that line on Religion was extremely ridiculous. It makes it obvious who they want to “freeze” and target doesn’t it? I’m sure Dennis Prager would happily take exception to that.
Look at the line on “Ageism” – the privilege group is “Adults, 18-65 years old” (where they got this? who knows) with the target group “Youth & Elders”
So abortion and euthanasia are back in the news – who are the people most targeted by these inhuman policies?
Leftists are great at projection, and it seems that right now they’re doing a great job of exposing themselves.
(where they got this? who knows) – I can answer that – the UN – Agenda 2030.
We’ve got to keep bringing this to people’s attention.
Agree that what they are saying is ridiculous, but they’re champs of the ridiculous and the vulnerable pay attention to it.
This is not good at all for decent people.
It is ridiculous, and dangerous. ATM I’m not even sure what to say about it.
Agreed on both points in your first sentence.
This is what I have to say.
It is a general comment. It has nothing to do with you or anyone else on these hallowed Q Tree branches.
That said, everyone on the Q Tree would do well to start quietly contemplating the considerations and consequences in a possible adverse situation where state laws could be changed to affect a negative outcome for decent Americans.
Decent Americans, such as those here, must continue the good fight.
No excuses such as ‘grace dictates’ (a dimbulb Twitter account holder’s words posted on this site within the last 24 hours) that we play nice (my words, in irony) about a dubious elected official who has been mentioned in the news ad nauseam this weekend.
That is why, Michael, I say that some church people are dangerous. They will lose the battle — with many following them — because either they a) think everyone should suffer or b) don’t see the external spiritual danger.
The Founding Fathers worked long and hard through considered arguments in sweltering Philadelphia heat to give the American people A REPUBLIC — IF THEY CAN KEEP IT, as Benjamin Franklin said to the lady in the City of Brotherhood so many moons ago.
NOW, if people **not** on the Q Tree — like the hapless Twitter guy — cannot man up or woman up enough to KEEP THAT REPUBLIC, then they should back down and shut up.
I don’t care for Prager or his “Prager University,”
Well…good…it looks like Don Jr is aware of CNN lying about Northam being a Republican.
.
CNN has no shame.
They know that low-info people would see that and the “Northam (R)” would imprint in their brains…to reinforce their false narrative about ‘R = racist’.
I hope that Don Jr will make his Dad aware of that little stunt.
It was a ‘Fake News Moment’ that should live in infamy!
I’d like to see them thrown out of the WH Press Corps. POTUS can just say he’s going to rotate for others to get a chance, and since CNN blatantly lies in their coverage, they should step out.
Absolutely, LadyP…CNN *should* get tossed out, for abusing their privilege.
I would love to see that happen!
Noooooo! POTUS is shining the cross on vampires. Nooooo….. CNN et al must die from a thousand cuts.
Ann Coulter’s hate from took two years to be exposed. Patience.
Gee whiz guys, remember when a retraction was a once a year event?
We’ve had THREE today.
1. The CNN flub about Northam being a Republican
2. The NYTimes headline about the jobs report suddenly “switching”.
3. The big drop about Don Jr.’s phone calls after the Trump Tower/Russian lawyer meeting. NO there was no phone call to the President. HUGE admission.
The Fake News media is getting all tangled up in their own lies.
Hah!
You’d have thought that somewhere in their education to become writers, they’d have read some of the work(s) of Sir Walter Scott… who penned:
Oh, what a tangled web we weave,
When first we practise to deceive…
YSM are just like the DEMONcRATS: they neither know, study, nor learn from history… They probably think “Marmion” is either an animal or something you spread on bread…
Contributing to their own destruction.
Love it.
If this has been mentioned, I missed it. What has happened to SteveinCO?
Not sure…but I think he’s just taking a little break.
Hopefully he will be back soon. 🙂
personally I believe I might have intimidated him with all my oh-so-clever puns (ha!) and he is just taking his time thinking of a real doozy to reclaim the title…lol
Steve–if you’re lurking–PLEASE HELP ME CHEER UP MARICA!!! it’s at least a 2 people job!
No kidding!!! Pat! If it werent for wheatie’s tree last nite!!!😉
Yep. Steve has to drop back and pun! (considering the game this weekend)…
And Steve, like Pat says, we need to you to cheer up Marica, the beautiful!, to coin a phrase 🙂
better tone it down a little Cuppa or like Phil, we won’t see Steve’s shadow for another year!!
I’m hoping his disappearance is just a COINcidence…LOL
I meant “drop back IN and pun”… I didn’t mean for it to STRIKE the wrong way… or to draw a blank…
Actually wondering if he might be snowed in (or under) with the storms going on out in the midwest…joltin’ Joe Bastardi’s maps showed a LOT of purple for this week… ( http://www.weatherbell.com ). Saturday summary should be out later today….
Whoever did this meme is very talented!
Hah.
.
In case it doesn’t show completely in that tweet:
Yikes. That showed up Big.
Sorry about that.
Oh yeah…I forgot that today is Groundhog Day.
.
I never understood Why someone ever thought that a Groundhog could predict the Weather.
why not? they thought a rat (Pelosi) could run the House, an ass (Schumer) should be in the Senate, and a bloodsucker (Hillary) should be President…
Yep. I prefer ground hog!
Nothing like good pork sausage for breakfast, and BBQ’ing, and spaghetti sauce (Salsicca Fresca), and, and, and….
If only we had Jimmy Dean’s or something like that over here. Odd, that in the land of wurst, we don’t have “country” pork sausage… (somehow the name of a movie with “Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean” in the title comes to mind…don’t know why)…
Speaking of Groundhog Day, the DEMONcRATs would be the ones driving the truck off the cliff…
Hmmm. Breakfast here is just going from bed to wurst?
(ducks flying pancakes….).
bed to wurst—AWESOME!!! lol
Actually, if one knows what to look for, larger trends can be predicted by watching insects, spiders, and varmint level animals. They know stuff we don’t. The wooly caterpillar thing is usually pretty close to correct.
As for the Groundhog…it’s one of those traditions that’s fun to celebrate with the reminders that January is over, and Spring Training is only two weeks away.
You know, signs of spring and all that.
Maybe it’s just me…but this look like a baby seal?
Heheh.
And where are his ears?

OMG! these are precious!!! and i DID think that was a baby seal!
I thought that 1st dog was an EGG!!
Today is my daughter’s(1st child) 32nd birthday!!! Groundhog’s Day AND Feast Day of the Presentation of our Lord!! Basically 32 years ago, today, I finally realized it’s NOT “All About Me”…😉😂
Yes. Having babies requires a selflessness from us that we didn’t even know we were capable of, doesn’t it.
And Happy Birthday to your first born!
😀
Thank you wheatie!!! It’s really an amazing transformation. I saw it in her when she had her 1st-and only so far. I give my boys slack because they have NOT had Kids yet–or that “transformation”..
Happy Birthday to your daughter!!
Thanks Pat!! It was an awesome Mother/daughter visit!
Marica, today is my daughter’s 52nd birthday! It only took a few years for a serious conversation with God to acknowledge she was His before I ever knew her and that has served me well more times than I can remember that I didn’t know what to do or how to do it. She has taught me more about me than anyone I’ve ever known. ❤❤❤
High five Judy!!!
Marica, today is my son’s birthday too but he’s 4 years younger than your daughter (and my 3rd child). I found irony that his birth two weeks early fell on Ground Hog’s day. No way was my little ground hog returning to his den for another 6 weeks!
TBOR!! Happy 28 year anniversary to having more kids than hands!!!
Congrats to you too! Back then hands weren’t as much of a problem as the income especially once we had child #4 several years later. We sacrificed to make ends meet and now ours lives are so full of the camaraderie of love and laughter of our adult children and 3 grandchildren that it’s hard to remember those struggles.
Sacrifices are NOTHING compared to “love and Laughter…” AMEN!
Absolutely….AMEN!
I hope Pres Trump sees this from Tucker’s show last night!
It’s good.
These are MY GUYS!!
Nolte asks a good question here…
How many journalists knew about this and have covered it up all these years?
https://twitter.com/NolteNC/status/1091488667858817025
.
I saw an announcement that Creepy Governor Coonman has called a press conference for this morning.
The time of it is ‘to be determined’.
Is he going to resign?
Can’t imagine anything he could say that would make this go away…other than saying he is stepping down.
This story has been trending on the twittersphere under several hashtags:
.00002 chance of getting it, but still a good move by JW.
Weissman needs a real comeuppance – exposure and maybe prosecution – for the partisan tool that he is.
GA/FL, you’re right. Weissman is overdue for a comeuppance.
Betcha our VSG will deliver it!
Thank you, Senator Paul!
Folks stood out in the rain last night to greet President Trump in FL!
God Bless them for doing that!
I’m sure it touched the President’s heart, seeing them there.
He stood and waved at them, giving them thumbs up, for a few minutes before getting in the beast.
He doesn’t show it…but he’s got to be worn out.
Otherwise he probably would’ve gone over to the crowd and talked to them.
Being night time – SS probably wouldn’t allow it.
Oh yeah…I’ll bet you’re right.
hrrrm. being night time then? Would of the last Q drop with pics of the two jets been flying outside of airforce 1? Wonders if there is a comparable picture to be found. Not sure how to do that search but understands there are ways.
And people (the homeless) stood in shit on the streets in SF to watch Nancy’s motorcade go by!
The Hodge twins are not having Jussie Smellette’s story.
😆
Warning…there are some cusswords.

thanks for sharing…funny? yes, but still very interesting points!
I like how the Hodge twins are so fiercely protective of our President…and us Deplorables.
They are simply Adorable!! Cuss words and all!! thanks for sharing Wheatie!!
Coulter had jumped the shark with her neo-con propaganda with these despicable and completely false aspersions.
I won’t even let her words and face appear here: (remove asterisk to activate link) *
I’m really steamed with Coulter – she has just exposed herself as a neo-con globalist – Bush/Romney/McCain style propagandist.
Put her in the slop bucket with McMullin.
The aspersions and descriptors she has cast upon President Trump are COMPLETELY FALSE and are more likely PROJECTION.
They certainly do not fit our hard-working, prescient, chief executive, President Trump!
She has gone over the cliff this time.
Calling Pres Trump a “lunatic” who is “lazy and incompetent” is unforgiveable.
There is no coming back from this.
Goodbye Ann!
I hope she enjoys her new home with the Trump-haters.
In my opinion, as a Trump-betrayer she is even worse.
Treachery is the one word that comes foremost to mind regarding Ann Coulter.
From Tolkien:
“…Though surely there are many perils in the world.’ ‘Many indeed,’ said Faramir, ‘and treachery not the least.’ “
“Treachery”
Yes…that’s a good word for what Ann has done.
Bye Felicia!!
Marica you have me rolling on that one! LOL!
“No coming back.” I completely agree. I was done with her a long time ago. A search will yield other remarks and positions that have been questionable and in poor judgment. But she is at war against Pres. Trump, which makes her an enemy of the country, in my opinion. Every time she speaks and writes, she tells us who she is. Now if we could just get talk shows and conservative outlets to stop giving her a platform.
I would not be surprised if she is looking for someone to primary Pres. Trump for 2020. She has supported Chris Christie before, so maybe she’s petitioning him. This would keep her in the spotlight for the next couple of years.
Follow the money…..
Yep!
GREED and MURDER to hand in hand for these Bastards
Hmph. She ought to be careful before she ends up being another victim of the Trump curse.
Kudlow lays it down…..
Winning and grinning is even better than picking and grinning!
Oh no! The horror!
Heheh.

thanks for sharing…hubby cracked up over the weekend one…LOL
You’re very welcome, Pat.
😀
There were some more on this Paul Bronks twitter stream that were just hilarious…but he used some f-bombs in the descriptions, so I didn’t think I should post them here.
Slow start to the day:)
ooops! Mean to grab just the I-Slide-To-Work puppy
that dog does yoga better than I do! lol
Bwahahahahahah!!!!!!!

Couldn’t happen to more deserving Democrat political hacks. Nanny Pelosi is also guilty of ruining her district with drugs, joblessness, etc.
THAT is the absolute truth. Democrat socialists and their policies and corruption turn any city, state, nation into Venezuela or Russia.
These are power grabbing socialists who don’t even notice him because they’ve turned a blind eye to the havoc their policies create. Since they never look in the rear view mirror, cleaning up the sh*thole they’ve created is always someone else’s problem.
when i first saw it, I thought wow–they’re laughing at that guy…
Probably it’s so normal to them that they don’t even notice it anymore.
Wonder if he’s OD’d on Fentanly or something… the building has a sign on it that says “Physical Therapy”…
Oops, Fentanyl…

The PP workers also refer to them as “cadavers”…which is term used for deceased human beings, not for ‘dead tissue’.
I watched a hidden-camera video of some Planned Parenthood workers talking about selling the remains of poor dead babies.
*Gulp*
It was so disturbing and horrible that I didn’t want to post it here.
It was. that. bad.
“a hidden-camera video”
Was it the one that PP claimed was “doctored”, and recently a judge said that it *wasn’t* doctored?
Also – I found this graphic stunning:
And the graphic goes along with this (thanks anons!):
“We don’t want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members.
— Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger”
Sauce: https://libex.smith.edu/omeka/files/original/d6358bc3053c93183295bf2df1c0c931.pdf
This is the sort of graphic that I really do wish had more exposure. It has to come from inside the community, though.
The LSM would never publish it.
Maybe, though, people like Larry Elder, Thomas Sowell, and Candace Owens can pick it up, and twister it (I refuse to spell that co.’s name right!).
There are many others who can get it out there as well – Dr. Carson being one. Kanye being another.
I hope it goes viral, especially now – the timing is JUST right!
I know what you mean, wheatie.
I cannot understand how someone could consciously do that to a little baby. It’s heartbreaking.
PP needs investigating pronto.
Investigating?
Hell….. we ALL know they are baby KILLERS…….
Lock ’em up!
Murderers!
Those crimes are horrid enough, but you know those are just the ones we know about.
Any organization that can justify murdering children and already has blood on their hands is capable of much greater evil. I don’t believe for a minute it stops at the murder of innocent children.
Agreed, but NY’s legislation is part of their state constitution — untouchable, from what I’ve read.
Wheatietoo, Here is a short video of David Dalieden being interviewed recently by Tucker Carlson about those videos they did and the aftermath that includes a legal vindication in the article linked below.

AMEN! to that
DR. CARSON WINS THE ARGUMENT HANDS – AND FEET – DOWN!!!
Agree 110%, GA/FL!
Hmm. Someone new emerges WRT Roger Stone:
He describes himself on Twitter as follows:
‘NEW YORK POST C E O ( FORMER ) ,C E O NOW, MEDIA , POST PUBLISHING . BUZZ’
Does he have an eye problem? I think we should be told.
Hmm…this is very fishy.
I think so, too.
Will keep a lookout for info about him.
Re Ralph Northam:
Very good points by Katrina and Ryan!
God ripped the mask off this hideous face to expose more of the evil and ugliness to be dealt with. God doesn’t like ugly, and He is still in control
Amen!
Always was…. IS…. and ALWAYS will be.
Indeed He is. He will not deal kindly with those opposing His plan.
For churches that follow the Lectionary for public worship, there are a couple of dramatic verses in there relating to life for Sunday, February 3. How apposite are these given this week’s events?
Jeremiah 1:5 (first part): “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you …”
Psalm 71:6: Upon you I have leaned from my birth; it was you who took me from my mother’s womb. My praise is continually of you.
I know these are the regularly scheduled readings for this particular Sunday in this particular liturgical year, but what great timing to remind churchgoers all that God is the Author of Life.
Whoops! Aaaannndd and Schumer top aide gets the ax for “inappropriate sexual encounters with staff”.

Gee, imagine that.
That’s when I said to myself, “he’s gonna win!”
Agree,
Agree
and
Agree!
WOW. I never saw that.
Heheh.
😂🤣 oh that there is funny
Yes, this is accurate. Even at young ages, guys are just more willing to take risks. One of my nephews is just like this.
Boys are so gonzo and have ‘no fear’…that it’s a wonder they make it to manhood.
Growing up, I was the only girl in a house full of boys.
I was always saying…”No, don’t do that. You’ll get hurt!”
But they would do it anyway.
😆
Uh-huh.
In Dr. James Dobson’s “Bringing Up Boys” (GREAT book, btw.), he describes many dangerous, daring, deeds that not only he and his brothers did, but his father, as well.
Guys are wired differently. And yep, some have short circuits now and then (erm, no, I didn’t mean to blow out the main breaker…)… Better living through voltage (OK, current, nothing like a coulomb…).
Or like the HP3000 Spectrum (PA-RISC) bumper sticker said, “No RISC, no fun”…
Yeah, that was me as the mother of 3 boys. I was constantly predetermining their catastrophic injuries but my husband would say, hey, whatever, leave them alone……if they get hurt they won’t do it again.
Yep, that kid would be mine.
And then some of us would be saying, “let’s make it higher”…”can we get it on the roof”, “but it won’t reach the ground!”, “no matter, we will”…. and on, and on, and on 🙂
Nothing like getting a brand new speedometer for a 3-speed StingRay (with the knobby tires and banana seat) and the pedaling like mad downhill to see if I could peg the speedometer (it went up to 50MPH, I think)…
And then wiping out…
My doctor REALLY scolded me, saying “you could have been killed !!!” or, maybe he said “You should have been killed !!!” 🙂
OMGGGG, we were twins!
Faster, higher, stronger.
My kid, 5th grade, the school got brand new swings. Big ones.
He decided to sail off the swing at the apex to the curve. Thought he could fly.
Broke both arms.
Yep! We wanted to see if we could make it go all the way around 🙂 We got as far as proof of concept with the empty seat before we had our “project” cancelled 😉
And then we’d squeeze through the bars on the jungle gym thing (shaped like an inverted U, with incomplete ladders on each side to *cough* prevent what we usually did, which was walk upright across the top 🙂
You could say the “tan” made us “bark” after that 🙂 Barely avoided having our hides tanned… No wonder they don’t have those kind of playgrounds anymore. Then again, no risk, no fun; and no creativity or innovation, either.
We didn’t want helicopter parents; we wanted parents who were there when we needed them (sometimes after our “adventures”), but who gave us room to grow, and occasionally, to attempt to fly…
My Dad, born in the early 1920s, lost two older siblings to an epidemic, so his mother was always extra careful with him, “don’t do this, you might get hurt, don’t do that, it could get you killed, etc.). She was understandably worried about the prospect of losing a third child.
Nevertheless, my Dad worked around these restrictions 🙂 and legend has it that he once rode his bicycle BACKWARDS, DOWNHILL, on a SNOWY, ICY day. And it was quite a steep hill. And he lived to tell about it. Much later he walked off a roof while picking cherries off a tree that overlooked it. Landed in the freshly-dug dirt underneath it, accompanied by just a few scrapes and scratches, a somewhat bruised ego, and some nervous laughter. “Need a warning track on that roof”…
Hmmm. No idea where I got my sense of adventure from. And my mom was equally one to advise me not to take the risks she had, growing up in England. “Hmmm. Does 240VAC make bigger sparks than this?”
Found that out later, by mistake… fortunately I wasn’t functioning as circuit ground in that situation…
Kind of fun being one of the ones for whom “DON’T TRY THIS AT HOME” is written. (But careful enough to try it anyway…).
I don’t know where it comes from either, but boundless sense of adventure seems to run in our genes.
I was the girl. Had six boys across the street, a family of 9 kids to the right of us, and two more boys down the street. I was raised, pure tomboy. Hockey, football, climbing trees, jumping off anything, piece of cake.
We had a rule set by the moms in the neighborhood, “If there was blood, we had to stop and call a mom.”
Of course, we argued about “how MUCH blood” was necessary to stop.
My son was FAR WORSE than I ever was, probably because he grew up with construction equipment and learned how to use it.
Some of the things…… gosh, it’s a wonder he’s still alive.
I was reading 8 chan about the new Q posts. The planes shown will be watching over the Super Bowl.
An anon linked an article from freedom outpost that was all blurred out. I went straight to Corey’s page for it and it works correctly there.
THE ABORTION AGENDA: Its Benefactors & What You Don’t Know
January 31, 2019 / 17 Comments
Pay very close attention, because there is a lot more going on with their abortion agenda, than meets the eye. Who’s involved, where is this headed, and what atrocities have already occurred? Something very significant began back in 1993, leading up to this, and no one is reporting on it.

I just read the article, Elizabeth – thanks for posting it!
It’s a great summary of the intensely coordinated, world-wide effort to methodically exterminate human beings, under the guise of “helping”.
I was stunned at how it all connects, and WHO is all connects.
A vast network of evil … pretending for lo-fos (like I was, until 2016) that it’s “good”.
I’ll read it in full as the day goes by. Essentially, it looks like the intent is to return us to pre-Christian paganism.
Exactly. A revival of paganism.
