Dear MAGA: 20190404 Open Topic

This LOCK ‘EM UP OR THROW ‘EM OUT THURSDAY 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.

You can say what you want, comment on what other people said, and so on.

Free Speech is practiced here. ENJOY IT. Use it or lose it.

And BROTHERS AND SISTERS – I am using it tonight.

Keep it SOMEWHAT civil. They tried to FORCE fake Orwellian civility on us. In response, we CHOOSE true civility to defend our precious FREEDOM from THEM.

Our rules began with the civility of the Old Treehouse, later to become the Wolverinian Empire, and one might say that we have RESTORED THE OLD REPUBLIC – the early high-interaction model of the Treehouse – except of course that Q discussion is not only allowed but encouraged, and speech is considerably freer in other ways. Please feel free to argue and disagree with the board owner, as nicely as possible.

Please also consider the Important Guidelines, outlined here in the January 1st open thread. Let’s not give the odious Internet Censors a reason to shut down this precious haven.


Remember – your greatest gift to President Trump is FIVE WORDS:

I AM PRAYING FOR YOU.


Our movement

Is about replacing

A failed

And CORRUPT

Political establishment

With a new government controlled

By you, the American People.

Candidate Donald J. Trump

Also consider Wheatie’s Rules:

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

THIS little bit of news about FAKE NEWS does not sit well with me.

Many news anchors in the United States do a terrible job obscuring their true partisan biases. But CNN’s Chief International Anchor Christiane Amanpour does not even try.

The supposed straight newswoman asked former FBI Director James Comey in a recent interview whether federal law enforcement officials should have done more during the 2016 election to punish Donald Trump and his supporters for chanting “lock her up!” about Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.

“Of course, ‘lock her up!’ was a feature of the 2016 Trump campaign,” Amanpour said toward the conclusion of her interview with Comey.

She added, “Do you, in retrospect, wish that people like yourself, the head of the FBI, I mean the people in charge of law and order had shut down that language — that it was dangerous potentially, that it could have created violence, that it’s kind of hate speech — should that have been allowed?”

Whoa! The former FBI director politely shrugged off her suggestion that the federal government should arrest people for saying things that upset Christiane Amanpour.

“That’s not a role for government to play,” Comey said.

He added, “The beauty of this country is people can say what they want even if it’s misleading and it’s demagoguery. The people who should have shut it down were Republicans who understand the rule of law and the values that they stand for. Shame on them, but it wasn’t a role for government to play.”

https://twitter.com/EddieZipperer/status/1113162172115357698

Though some have expressed shock that Amanpour would advocate an authoritarian crackdown on free speech, I cannot say I am entirely surprised that she would propose such a thing, especially on behalf of a Democratic politician.

She often plays the role of the arbiter of the moral good, routinely dipping into personal political commentary from her perch as an alleged news anchor. Recall that Amanpour accused Britons of xenophobia and anti-immigrant views in 2016 after they voted to leave the European Union. She made that specific claim no fewer than five times during a single broadcast immediately following the Brexit vote. Later, Amanpour berated one of the Brexit leaders, European Parliament member and Washington Examiner contributor Daniel Hannan, during a post-vote interview, claiming repeatedly, without evidence and falsely, that Hannan was now backtracking after campaigning to “stop the free movement [of people].”

Of course, you could just say she’s a tough news lady, but the problem is that Amanpour is not always so confrontational an interviewer. Let us not forget when she interviewed Hillary Clinton in May 2017, tossing the two-time failed presidential candidate the softest softballs ever lobbed, including when the CNN anchor asked:

[Y]ou’ve just spoken about the sexism and misogyny and inequity around the world, but do you believe it exists here still? … And do you think – were you a victim of misogyny, and why do you think you lost the majority of the white female vote?

The Trump administration is not without its upsides, Amanpour said later that same month. Indeed, she explained, it has caused “a huge rise in necessary activism” to combat what she characterizes as a “grave and existential threat.”

“You know, everybody was getting a little lazy, everyone was taking everything for granted, particularly in the United States. And I think women of have come out, you know, black people have come out. The press have come out,” she said. “Everybody is coming out to defend their profession and their right to exist under the Constitution and the laws of the United States.”

You’ll pardon me, then, for not being even a little surprised to learn Amanpour is maybe a little sympathetic to arresting opponents of the Democratic Party for so-called “hate speech.”

https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/christiane-amanpour-wants-the-fbi-to-lock-them-up-for-chanting-lock-her-up

Well, as far as Ms. Amanpour goes, my motto is “never forget”.

https://twitter.com/Baba9773/status/989886081553305602

Just to clarify….


Now – this gets a bit personal with me. You see…..

Once you realize that MS. AMANPOUR’S desire that THE FBI “lock us up” matches rather well with my run-ins with pesky “lookin’-for-a-reason-to-lock-that-boy-up” “Radium Rod Brand” FEEBS in 2018….

Once you realize that 9/11 was largely a psychological manipulation tool to herd Americans into various configurations required for global socialism – and that THIS is the really big secret they absolutely do NOT want to let get away from them – but it pretty much already has…..

Once you realize that the ACCELERATED TIMING of said “lock up Wolf” operations was shortly after I got religion on the videographic hoaxing involved with 9/11, and linked it to the attempted videographic fraud in the CA3 operation of which I have somewhat more familiarity, and OH that’s not a thing YET….

And once you realize what Americans are going to think when the TRUTH can no longer be suppressed by the FAKE NEWS….

WELLLLLLLLL….

Things all start to make sense.

You know, I’m not completely sold on lockin’ ’em all up.

In fact, I’m not even totally sold on “throwin’ ’em out”.

THE DOORS ARE WIDE OPEN.

AND THE TRUTH IS NEVER, EVER, GOING BACK IN THE BOX.

Do the math, scumbags. While there is STILL TIME.

Flep talks about that nightstand. Well, Wolf is showing you an even easier way out.

It’s a WIDE, WIDE world out there. WHO KNOWS – maybe there is SOME PLACE ELSE where socialism might work.

Because it AIN’T GONNA BE HERE.

Maybe….. New Zealand?

Have not heard of ANY restrictions on flights to New Zealand.

Yet.

*wink*

I think civilisation hangs in the balance. At times like these we can’t play nice. If we lock these scum up a future demoncrap Potus could pardon them. It was either Simon de Montfort or the bishop he was talking to about the quandary they were in when there was a crusade against CHRISTIANS. Namely the cathars or Gnostics. The church considered them heretics. After the conquest of a town a large number of people were found in the cathedral (catholic) claiming to be loyal Catholics. The solution. Kill them all. God will sort them out.

ozzytrumpster

I beg to differ. The us would get a whole bunch of parasites hanging off. Very soon they’d end up like p.r. An endless money pit.

ozzytrumpster

Just remember every base is a potential vulnerability. Hacking into the US tech systems is easier with proximity, also the base staff would be vulnerable to honey traps, blackmail, bribery not to mention both overt (terror) and covert ( ultrasound a la Cuba) attacks. The constant pinpricks would be a huge drain on morale and resources

ozzytrumpster

Winning what? Do we want the turf if it comes with all the natives? Or do we really play hardball? Long ago ,I think , in Egypt or some god forsaken shithole- but I repeat myself, a senior Russian was kidnapped. The ussr embassy immediately went out and grabbed 100 random people from the street and promised to kill 10/hour till the got their guy back. It worked because everyone knew they’d do it. I’m quite happy with scorched earth. No enemy civilians on US soil

Sylvia Avery

“Porto Rico”? Where is that? Sounds small and communist. Let’s just make it one big military base!
Oooohhhh! I like that idea very much. I have been wishing they would realize PR is a problematic cesspool and return it to military governorship. Just taking it and making it into one big base is an awesome idea! And useful now that the Chicoms have infiltrated the Carribbean and have bases all over down there.

Kalbo

Such an obvious step to start stemming the flood of illegals released into America.
Certainly need the wall. Need to close the border to get Mexico’s attention, and Congress. Mexico to stop the flood. Congress to fix our ignorant immigration laws.
An added benefit since my mind is a bit warped, MCM would go spastic if BPS agents gave initial interviews for asylum and started turning back illegals.
A two-fer of sorts. Illegals returned. MCM heads imploding. Intended consequences of a common sense decision by Nielson. Oops. That’s why it won’t happen, unless President Trump orders it.

ozzytrumpster

The public has to be brought slowly to the idea, like a spooky horse onto a float. They gotta cut through years of indoctrination. Slowly , slowly the tide is turning. More than 50% want a wall now and more and more are realising the economic and social consequences of unfettered and unvetted immigration. The communities hurt most by low wages are having the penny drop. Look at President Trumps approval rates with black and hispanics

Wolfie do not forget the ones that went to the London School of Economics Fabian Marxism.
LSE was founded by the co-founders of the Fabian Society and FUNDED BY Nathan ROTHSCHILD.
I was going to list some but even the severely cut version was STILL over 20 pages long!!!
Graduates are EVERY WHERE, all over the world and in High Office, Central Banks, Politics, Law, JUDGES in many many countries. They are in the EU and UN and in International relations as well as THE INTERNATIONAL COURT. They are Economists, Political scientists, and businessmen as expected. BUT they are also in the Arts, as Artists, Writers, Journalists aka THE CULTURE INFLUENCERS as well as the research into HOW to influence people: ‘Social policy analysts’ Sociologists, Social Anthropology Philosophy, Economic historians….
You can find the listing at WIKI
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_people_associated_with_the_London_School_of_Economics
Send the few minutes to scan it and you will understand WHERE much of the EVIL comes from.
Both David Rockefeller and George Soros graduated from the place.

Cuppa Covfefe

I just looked at the list of founders of LSE. Among them is Annie Besant. A Satanist.
No wonder…

Gail Combs

Thanks for pointing that out. I was unaware she was a satanist.
Between the City of London, the Tavistock Institute (London UK) and the London School of Economics, is it any coincidence that the UK was ground zero for the Coup against President Trump?
As I keep saying THE UK IS OUR ENEMY and has been since 1776!

There is a new admissions test called the Classical Learning Test. It is excellent. cltexam.com
The schools that accept it are worth a look. We have a son at Christendom College and are thrilled. There are other Christian and Non-Demoniational Schools that accept it as a part of admissions. True liberal arts education focusing on our Patrimony of Western Civilization.

Salting the ground is an excellent idea. It perfectly captures the level of ruthlessness that is going to be required to do away with the socialist education machine we have allowed to flourish in our midst.
With the exception of the fact that I don’t think we should kill off everyone involved, I suggest we look to Ghengis Kahn as our role model for ruthlessness. When Kahn undertook to show his displeasure toward a particular town, he killed all its inhabitants, plundered its wealth, destroyed the infrastructure and salted the ground. Entire cities subject to his wrath a thousand years ago have not been reborn. To this day, we understand that unmitigated panic is an appropriate response to a sighting of the Mongol Hoard heading our way.
Here, the only way to truly “salt the earth” so academia cannot rise again, is to take control of the money away. Money is the soil that nurtures them. Money buys political protection, positive press (propaganda) and votes.
Harvard has $34 billion in the bank. Yale has $24 billion. Those are BILLIONS, not millions folks. All the liberal colleges we rail against have huge amounts of money stashed away. And their alumni also have massive resources that they are willing to deploy to defend the socialist grooming machine they have created.
Reclaiming education is going to be a massive undertaking.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

Ugh…sorry, one of my pet peeves. It’s Khan, not Kahn.
(And, by the way, it’s a title, not a surname, as is “Christ.”)
But your description of the utter destruction Temujin Genghis Khan wrought is quite accurate. If a city surrendered, it was subjugated; if he had to fight to take it, it was obliterated.
What is now Iraq was invaded by one of his successors, and it has not recovered.

What the president is doing is a multiplier. Bring jobs back- lots of blue collar and tradesman stuff., therefor your kid doesn’t need college, devalue colleges -or let them show how useless and corrupt they are. The workers are practical people, problem solvers. No ivory towers for them and grandiose gender/social re engineering theories. If it works do it. If some one shows you or you figure out a better way change. Putting the levers of power back into the hands of the mainstream rather than the elite will save America. There will , of course be a lost generation with degrees that qualify them to ask you if you’d like fries with your order whilst struggling with huge debt. But they can learn to code

Pat Frederick

A Fortiori

Yes, it is really fascinating to watch Papadop’s moves. Stashing that $10k with his lawyer in Greece before he flew to the US was an absolutely brilliant idea. When the FBI searched him before he went through customs without a warrant, it exposed their plot to trap him with the money. And, my guess is that the money can be traced, creating yet another problem for the black hats.

Kalbo

Yes, PapaD was simply brilliant and insightful to see the trap being was set for him.
In this day of electronic gadgets, I wonder if PapaD has any video or audio of his being set up in Greece.

I’ll take the setup back further, to at least 2013? I posted this a few minutes ago on yesterday’s daily:

This is about the DeNiro connection. He’s been business partners with the Agalarovs since 2009.
Next I’ll write a post that asks “Is Viktor Veksekberg Steele’s ‘Collector’, and could Michael Cohen be his Source D?”
According to Isikoff in Russian Roulette,( initially ) Source D is a close Trump associate involved in managing his affairs. A few pages later, Isikoff changes his story to Sergei Millian as Source D. (Source D gave up the story of the alleged Ritz Carlton pissing prostitutes.) Remember that Glenn Simpson also changed his sworn testimony regarding a source within the campaign.

The Muslim Brotherhood has a clear strategy to conquer and subjugate the US, and she is evidence that this strategy is working. Their plan has been available for years; I think I first saw it when looking through some of the material from the trial of the Blind Sheik and the World Trade Center bombing. We in the West drastically underestimate how committed and ruthless are the Islamists. And the fact that we allow this lunatic to sit in Congess, knowing that she lied when vowing to preserve and protect the Constitution, is to them very funny and to us a sign we are not serious.

They always are.
The myth is that the genetic material is all that matters for establishing maternity.
But when babies form inside the womb, everything they are and become is from within the womb. All of their bodily material, every taste, every sound, every comforting touch comes from the woman who is carrying the baby. This is the only mother the baby knows, the one that they are truly biologically bonded to.
When you separate a baby from the mother that carried her, it does real harm to the baby for life. It doesn’t matter if it’s adoption or surrogacy or state intervention – that beautiful new life knows that their mother isn’t there for them and longs for her.
It is really tragic when you really see it for what it is.

That comment makes me think you were near Atlanta. At the wrong time (i.e., when the sun is shining), passing through is a mess.

Gail Combs

When we travel from NC up to the Boston MA area to visit in-laws, I always time our drive to hit Washington DC ~ 8:00 PM and be beyond NYC by 6:00 AM. If possible I head inland at Fredricksburg and avoid the whole f BosNyWash mess, but you still have to cross the Hudson River by 6:00 AM.

Deplorable Patriot

Yes, we were headed north out of FL on I-75, but the bad slowdowns were in Marietta, and about five miles before the Tennessee state line where the bridge issue is. Fortunately, last night we stayed in East Ridge, TN where 41 is, and our dinner server told us how to get to I-24 avoiding the mess. 🙂

NebraskaFilly

I simply cannot imagine living a life where you have to hide such things as your interest in Q from anyone, much less a “travelling companion.” I am making a presumption that this is not your choice of a companion?

Deplorable Patriot

Let’s put it this way, as the oldest and the one without a day job, it’s my duty to be sure this drive is not my companion’s solo as his other half flew home Tuesday. So, I get to fly down and drive back with the one who actually owns the house, the car, and all the retirement stock.

Just a hunch on my part, but I’m thinking that the IWC Portugueser Chronograph that is used in the Q drops may have belonged at one time to either John F, Kennedy, JFK, Jr., or both, if it was handed down. A chronograph watch is often used as a timer in sailboat racing. JFK owned such a boat named the “Victura.”
Any sailboat racing he might have done would likely have been in the 1940’s/50’s. Some photos of him on Victura.comment imagecomment imagecomment image

Voter fraud likely made the biggest difference in the 2018 results – along with the usual voter fatigue on the part of the previously winning party – GOP won in 2016, and then sits back, stops paying attention, and isn’t stirred up.
In 2018, POTUS aided Georgia and Florida HUGELY. I expect him to do the same all over the country for 2020. Now that we’re heading into the early phase of Campaign 2020, these numbers we see out of Wisconsin’s State Supreme Court election are important to note. It was a come from behind, not much hope to actually flip to GOP, yet…

Re: Christianne Amanpour – she’s British-Iranian.
Neither of her ‘native’ countries allows free speech and you can be jailed for criticism of Islam in BOTH countries.
Her belief that Americans, who want Hillary punished for breaking laws and compromising national security should be silenced or jailed, aligns British and Iranian laws and practices.
Amanpour does not value our US Constitution or Bill of Rights, despite the fact that she’s only here spreading her subversive ideas because of our tolerant Bill of Rights.
She really doesn’t belong here.

The insanity should have been stopped in 1973.

We need a law saying anything transgender (medication or surgery) cannot be taken up until after age 25. Brain is still growing, young people change their minds.
THAT would get the subject OUT of schools.
Not gone completely, but it would help a LOT.
I don’t think the issue for the educators (those pushing the agenda) is really about transgendered people. It’s more likely, just another avenue to destroy cultural norms.

True – Identity formation/achievement is not complete until out of teens, if then. Childhood trauma/family issues can delay/distort identity formation.

Add NANOWEAPONS to the list of new tech weapons
http://directorblue.blogspot.com/2019/04/nanoweapons-new-wmd.html#more
“In 2008 experts surveyed at the Global Catastrophic Risk Conference at the University of Oxford suggested a 19 percent chance of human extinction by the end of this century, citing the top four most probable causes:
– Molecular nanotechnology weapons: 5 percent probability
– Superintelligent ai: 5 percent probability
– Wars: 4 percent probability
– Engineered pandemic: 2 percent probability
Obviously nanoweapons are at the top of the list, having a 1 in 20 probability of causing human extinction by the end of this century. Notice that biological weapons (item 4), which have been a mainstay apocalyptic theme in both fiction and nonfiction, come in as a distant fourth, with only a 1 in 50 probability of causing human extinction.
The consequences could be alarming. Consider the following examples of possible nanoweapons, just off the top of my head:
– Surveillance: thousands of tiny drones, each measuring perhaps 1 x 1 x 1mm, broadcast three-dimensional views of the battlefield to a remote command center in order to provide a tactical advantage
– Spies: specially purposed drones, similarly sized, covertly enter enemy facilities. They do so through HVAC (ventilation) systems or surreptitious “tailgating” as humans enter and exit the facility. Spy drones can then disable defensive countermeasures, e.g., attacking alarm systems, unlocking barriers, or autonomously performing more malign activities
– Pathogens: designed to infiltrate the human body, mechanically shut down key organs, and then dismantle into untraceable sub-elements
– Kinetic weapons: swarming drones intended to attack engines, sensors, missile propulsion systems, etc. to disable or destroy them
Further complicating matters, the manufacture of such devices could be as simple as using a 3D printer.”

Cal, Lawrence Livermore Scientists Create 3D Printer With Potential To Print Living Organs
By John Ramos March 31, 2019 at 9:01 pm
EXCERPT
BERKELEY (KPIX 5) — Researchers at UC Berkeley and Lawrence Livermore Lab have created a new kind of 3D printer that could potentially manufacture living human organs.
Normal 3D printers work by building up thin layers of melted plastic to create solid objects, but it’s hard to get intricate designs to hold their form.
So, design engineers at Cal and Lawrence Livermore Lab got the idea of making 3D objects the same way a CT scan creates 3D images: by hitting a patient with X-rays from many different directions.
A prototype of the new 3D printer called the “CAL4.”
“So we thought, let’s reverse that process to create objects rather than imaging them, except we do it with light instead of with X-rays,” said Dr. Hayden Taylor, Lead Investigator of the UC Berkeley team.
The process is called volumetric printing. Rotating images of an object are beamed through a conventional video projector. The light is focused on a slowly rotating cylinder of gooey resin containing plastic molecules with a light sensitive-activator END EXCERPT

:
Last night I listened to a you tube message from Steve Cioccolanti…Discover ministeries. It was a 2019 prophetic message for Donald Trump. I am telling you sbout it because I do not know how to send links for these and would love to share this with all of you.
Usually, I listen to Praying Medic and to Mark Taylor prophecies but there were no new ones that I could find last night. They are also, imo, great!
I recommend all of the above if your spirits are flagging due to the constant negative input of the daily “news” that can grab our attention.
The Ciocclanti messsge emphasized the need for justice and for the President to administer this. I think it would be helpful for those Christians and others whose understanding of the issue is clouded by the need to forgive to hear this message.
This from me:
The Bible says that the Lord disciplines those He loves and that if you love your children you will discipline them. Discipline serves as a deterrent to further wrong doing and is protective. So too, justice.
Proverbs 3:12 New International Version (NIV)
12 because the Lord disciplines those he loves,
as a father the son he delights in.
Proverbs 13:24 New International Version (NIV)
24 Whoever spares the rod hates their children,
but the one who loves their children is careful to discipline them.

LM… I think this is the video you are talking about…
It’s easy to link a youTube video… same process as linking an article. Highlight the url, then click ‘copy’ then paste.

Thank you dear Phoenix. Yes. This is the one!

Gail Combs

“Whoever spares the rod hates their children, but the one who loves their children is careful to discipline them.”
We have certainly seen the results of the Communist push to OUTLAW ALL FORMS of discipline for children. SJW, Snowflakes, Safe Spaces and CENSORSHIP of Ideas.
The latest I ran into is being told that YELLING at a child [in danger] is Child Abuse!!! Yelling at Children (Verbal Abuse)
Darn it, if a kid is standing DIRECTLY behind a pony and refuses to move, I am GOING to yell at the kid if I can’t get to him to move him quickly. Instead of rescuing the child from risk, the Mom gets in my face and starts yelling at me, preventing me from dealing with the situation. And all the while the kid is standing behind the pony pulling it’s tail! 🙄
We also have had a kid run UNDER my carriage horse and while I am repremanding that child, his brother sits down in front of the horse, leans against her front legs to tie his shoes! Do the parents do a darn thing? NO! Those kids were a royal pain the entire time we were carrying George and Martha Washington for a Minuteman event. My poor husband had to play ‘guard’ for an hour to keep those kids from messing with my horse. Thank goodness she was a real sweetie.
A friend was nearly bankrupted for owning a horse whip because her new foster kid, a KNOWN LIAR and problem, accused her of using it. (ZERO EVIDENCE) The rest of her foster kids testified he lied, but Social Services took her to court anyway. She had a brand new handicapp outfitted van for one of her foster kids that she had to sell because of that EVIL little boy. The boy was placed with her because she did very well with foster kids and none of the other foster homes could handle him.
She had adopted several of the kids who really loved her. So she was NOT in it for the money. The 12 year olds I interacted with were more intelligent and more adult than several of our new Congress women!

LM

Believe me, I have reason to know that over-solicitous, parental (and other) permissive coddling can cause massive harm to a child and to those who come in contact with that child.
I have worked with a number of these kids and have great love for them. It is a job that few want because the kids are often obnoxious and can be dangerous.
Indulging s tantrum may seem loving at the time, but the child uses this success as a justification for more of the same.
The same might be true, imo, on a national level in giving into and appeasing unrighteous and unlawful demands from the left

Deplorable Patriot

The best way to stop tantrums and melt downs is to ignore them at home (removing audience by leaving the room or sending the kid to theirs), and remove the audience in public meaning taking the kid home. No need to yell. Actions speak louder than words which usually aren’t all that effective. Yelling should be reserved for sharp correction, and dangerous situations.
At least that was most effective with my nephews.

It’s the squeeze test. Too hard, not ripe. Too squishy, too ripe, unless using right now. Squeeze, should give a little, just perfect. Also think about when you will consume. Just right, will eat in 1-3 days. Hard, should ripen 5-7 days. Sooner if put in the dark. The best avocado in the whole wide world is sliced plain, sprinkled with garlic salt. 🥑 🧂 OMG!!! 😋😋😋

Concurrently, impose a FREEZE ALL REMITTANCES wired to Mexico until America imposes MASSIVE TAX on them, sufficient to fund the fully-loaded cost of Illegals apprehended from the time they entered the USA until they have been deported to their country of origin.
Then sit back and enjoy the show as Mexico SHUTS DOWN the Illegal Caravans and President Trump gets every damned request approved by Congress.

Hmm. 🙄 If he’s waiting for republican support we’re done for. Said this before. Can’t enforce anything at the border without martial law. Either it’s an invasion or it isn’t. Better get on the voter fraud/national voter id or we’re done for there too. There will come a point where he will not be able to rally or pacify the base.

Okay, we know better than to react in a kneejerk fashion.
We know to look and wait for a clarification.
But I watched it. He sounded odd, strange, scattered.
I don’t know. No judgement for now. Let’s see what happens by tomorrow when he visits the border.
A one year warning makes no sense for something that is “an emergency”.

This seems more like PDJT’s idea of taking an opinion poll. Either that or he’s won some concessions on the other side of the border that haven’t yet manifested and or maybe has some tricks up his sleeve. However no way this stands as is. Waits for the other shoe to drop.

ForGodandCountry

Question….
Do folks here really understand what is likely to happen if POTUS actually closes the border?
To the economy?
To job growth?
To the stock market and everyone’s 401ks?
And through these, to the dems hopes of defeating him in 2020?
Do people here understand that his opposition is on the ropes….that their last remaining hope is 2020….that if Trump is re-elected and gets a fresh 4 years they will have to acquiesce to many of his demands?
It’s really quite simple.
It doesn’t matter what happens at the border if Trump loses in 2020.
Closing the border (or not) runs a very distant whatever to getting POTUS re-elected to a fresh four years.
Now flip this coin.
Obviously, his opposition is flooding the border in a bid to force his hand. But they keep trying to play by their rules, not by the rules Trump is imposing on them.
Guess what they are doing to themselves in the process?
The dems are KILLING their support among minorities….particularly blacks and and Hispanics. These folks are VERY sensitive to “dems support illegals more than Americans” meesaging?
Why?
Because they themselves have sold their votes to dems for handouts. they KNOW the dems are giving the illegals more support than the dems are giving their American constituency.
Have you seen what is happening to Trump’s approval ratings among minorities? What do you think will happen if POTUS gains just 30% of the black vote??
I urge people to look at the bigger picture, not just a single issue.

ForGodandCountry

I can hear you now….
“B…b…b…but why is he threatening to close the border if he doesn’t mean it?”
Really?
Have you seen the effects of just the mere threat of doing this??
I’m guess the majority of the folks who don’t understand this also don’t run or have never run a big business. No big deal, but they don’t know what they don’t know.
Big businesses have to PLAN and invest. Threats like this create uncertainty, and big business HATES uncertainty. in the face of uncertainty, plans and investments get delayed and even put off.
Thus, the mere threat itself can have a vast impact.
.
.
.
.
.
I don’t want to get into another big argument, but….yes, POTUS DOES engage in misdirection and bluffing.
You see, PDJT can be completely bluffing about closing the border, but as you can see just the mere threat can have a massive impact whether or not he’s bluffing….as the WSJ article Flep referenced today makes clear.

ForGodandCountry

Then there is the issue of election issues.
Illegal immigration is a VERy potent issue, with a vast majority siding with POTUS on the issue.
Do we really want that issue to go away BEFORE the 2020 campaign, when PDJT’s election is ABSOLUTELY VITAL TO THE SAVING OF OUR REPUBLIC??
http://poster.keepcalmandposters.com/default/6001740_keep_calm_and_maga_on.png

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

So it is essential to his continued success…to NOT solve problems.
Where have we heard this before?
How is this different?

ForGodandCountry

Where did I say that? Please point to it.
If THAT is what you interpreted my posts as saying then there is no point in having any discussion with you at all.
I’m interested in intellectually honest discussion re: this topic, not rhetorical point scoring.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

I wasn’t trying to engage in “rhetorical point scoring” but rather read this:

Do we really want that issue to go away BEFORE the 2020 campaign, when PDJT’s election is ABSOLUTELY VITAL TO THE SAVING OF OUR REPUBLIC??

The issue would “go away” (your words) if it were solved. It won’t go away if it’s not solved. You surely do seem to be suggesting here we do not WANT to solve this problem; that Trump’s continuation in office depends on him not solving it.

ForGodandCountry

Ok, I’ll play.
First, you said “problems”…generalizing your comment…..when we are discussing a singular issue.
“So it is essential to his continued success…to NOT solve problems.”
I never said that, and you are putting words in my mouth, which is intellectually dishonest.
Additionally, I did make it clear in my first post, quote:
“It’s really quite simple.
It doesn’t matter what happens at the border if Trump loses in 2020.
Closing the border (or not) runs a very distant whatever to getting POTUS re-elected to a fresh four years.”
Notice I said “closing the border”?
If you think closing the border will solve the border issue itself then more power to you, but I think POTUS knows more, or better, than either of us….and I place my trust in him. For 2 reasons.
1. Because he’s earned it.
AND
2. Because there is no one else we can trust who is in a position to do anything, either now or in the near future.
As such, iin my informed opinion PDJT’s re-election is FAR more important than closing the border today, much less (re)solving the border issue prior to 2020
And if not (re)solving the border/illegal immigration issue prior to 2020 helps re-elect PDJT…and it would….then so much the better, because whether it does or doesn’t get (re)solved won’t matter if PDJT doesn’t get re-elected.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

As such, iin my informed opinion PDJT’s re-election is FAR more important than closing the border today

Granted.
But I remain leery of thinking we want problems, or even A problem, to go on to secure a re-election. We elect officeholders in the hopes of them fixing things, we don’t keep problem(s) alive to re-elect the office holder. That’s the way a career politician thinks.
And frankly, it won’t end. If he wins in a landslide in 2020 and sweeps the Dems into irrelevancy, then we’ll be worrying about them bouncing back in 2022. Then after that, we’ll be worried about electing Trump’s successor.
Instead of fixing a mess, we’re worrying about the next damn election, constantly, and there’s ALWAYS a next election.
So I say, if there’s something he can do to FIX this problem, DO IT; don’t delay until after the next election, because there’s always one right around the corner.
(There may be nothing he can do, in which case, obviously, he can’t.)

Gail Combs

I can see several things coming into play with President Trump and closing the border.
#2. ALL of yesterday – during the day was OPEN. Who was President Trump talking to??? AMLO? CoC Tom Donohue??
#1. He just had a major meeting with his Military Commanders in the evening.
#3. Mexico-Guatemala Border and Programa Frontera Sur
“Washington has committed at least $100 million to support Mexico’s southern border program since 2014. As of February 2016, $20 million has been delivered. And some who work that border are quite happy with the help they are receiving…. Starting July 2014, Mexico sent at least 300 immigration agents from other parts of Mexico to the South, raided trains and migrant hostels and set up mobile checkpoints. Washington is supporting this campaign with training, technology and intelligence…. Deportations of Central Americans from Mexico rose by nearly 70 percent in the first 13 months of the southern border plan….
“I’ve seen U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers here,” she said in Spanish. She said CBP agents work regularly inside a migrant detention center near the border… “U.S. agents come to interview migrants we detain,” after they’ve crossed the border, she said. “They can identify people we’ve deported before and that’s been crucial.” She explained that the U.S. is helping to collect data on migrants and migrant flows through improved fingerprinting techniques, among other initiatives. She also said that U.S. technology is more advanced than the tools currently at Mexico’s disposal. “That has really helped INAMI,” the agent said….

President Trump may be giving AMLO ONE YEAR to CLOSE his southern border TIGHT. The border is 541 miles, a lot shorter than the US border.
4. If President Trump shuts the Mexican-USA border CHINA looks to step right in.
Chinese look to invest in southern Mexico
“At the Mexico-China Forum for Cooperation in Mexico City in May 2016, authorities from China’s Guangdong Province met with Mexican officials and discussed plans to invest in Mexico’s recently-established Special Economic Zones….
Trade between Guangdong Province and Mexico was worth $10.4 billion last year, 25% of the two countries’ total trade. Chinese firms are considering projects related to aerospace, vehicles, electronics and energy, which could add $480 million in foreign direct investment. In support of closer ties between Mexico and China, China Southern Airlines plans direct flights between Guangdong and Mexico starting next year, which would serve business travelers and also boost tourism.”

daughnworks247

We simply cannot allow China and Russia in our backyard.
It has to stop.

ZooNTexas

I think it will be closing in God’s time not ours.
It is being closed for reasons most won’t even open their minds to. But in prophecy it is referred to as a 2000 mile gate.
https://sordrescue.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/10-7-15_america_america.pdf

TheseTruths

I’ve been concerned about the economic impact of closing the border. I hope other things can be done to stop the onslaught. The economy is vital to Pres. Trump’s re-election chances. So is getting immigration under control. He is between a rock and a hard place, but I trust him to come up with solutions.

para59r

Without enough information I’m seeing he only mentioned drugs not illegals. Current interdiction efforts on drugs seems to be up from the past and wall is going up, so a year to wait on “drugs” vs effects on the economy seems tolerable, but we need to hear about the interdiction of the caravans. Most important.

daughnworks247

Okay, we have a little bit of clarification.
POTUS speaking in pool spray after the Chinese guy left.
POTUS was asked about the border.
Apparently, the Mexicans have been cooperating in the past 3-4 days.
He was cryptic.
He reiterated, shutting down the border is always open and on the table.
But apparently the Mexicans are removing some from their borders.
Not sure what is going on but SOMETHING is happening.
Gee whiz, sounds like the phone calls between the Oval and Mexico have been buzzing.

Deplorable Patriot

We don’t know what we don’t know. VSG, the master of the art of the deal, starts the negotiation with the most harsh rhetoric, which obviously Mexico does not want, and negotiates to where he really wants to be.
The thing is, he follows through on the threats enough that the opposition believes him.
I’m wondering how long it’s going to be before a poker player on the world stage calls his bluff rather than just folding and begging for mercy.

Chill y’all…
24 or even 48 hr. rule is a good one… remember, jumping to conclusions not smart.
This a.m., press sec’y Sara said of threat to close the border, he’s “still keeping that option on the table.” On @foxandfriends, shes says both Mexico and Congress need to take more actions to stop flow of illegal immigrants.
“If the drugs don’t stop – Mexico can stop ’em if they want – we’re going to tariff the cars.” says @POTUS of his latest plan to pressure more Mexico to stop illegal immigrants and drugs. “And if that doesn’t work, we’re going to close the border.”
Pres says he’ll give Mexico “a 1-year warning” to stop flow of drugs into US, or will impose tariffs on their exports – especially cars. And if that doesn’t stop it, “we close the border,”

These statements are multi-layered and complex. He’s going to the border tomorrow.
I’m going to wait and see what he says…
Did you note the long line of trucks at border in tweet Felice posted in his article this afternoon? Apparently most of the BP Agents have been moved from ports of entry to unwalled, unprotected areas in order to halt the flow of both drugs and people.
Meanwhile the lockjam on POTUS’ nominees has been broken… confirmations will be streaming forth !!!
As for healthcare: In the last week, numerous pieces of good news have Republicans on a winning streak. Democrats not so much. Fox reports that on March 25, the DOJ stated they will stand with the Texas court ruling from last year that stated Obamacare is unconstitutional. Democrats are throwing a tantrum. Understandable, since they’ve had a rough week. https://conservativefiringline.com/doj-says-it-will-stand-with-court-ruling-that-obamacare-is-unconstitutional/
“The Republicans … are developing a really great HealthCare Plan with far lower premiums (cost) & deductibles than ObamaCare. In other words it will be far less expensive & much more usable than ObamaCare,” he added.
In his final tweet, Trump said. “Also, Republicans will always support Pre-Existing Conditions.”

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2019/04/01/trump-republicans-health-plan-vote-after-2020-election/3339232002/
There is not enough support in the present make-up of House and Senate to repeal and replace Obamacare.

Mexico is operating under fist of the ruthless powerful super-wealthy cartels. The Mexican government are overwhelmed and have no power to deal with these ruthless armed monsters. The Mexican government and police have been infiltrated, bribed, threatened by the cartels.
Thomas Wictor once did a play by play analysis of a video of Mexican military operations against the cartels and it was pitiful, despite US training. That is lost due to TwitterJackboot’s suspension of Wictor’s twitter account and the Threadreader app didn’t store it.

Posted earlier – – – – THIS policy change could solve the backlog at the border.
https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2019/mar/31/lou-dobbs-dream-end-catch-and-release-can-happen/
“Cross-designate and train Border Patrol agents at the senior patrol agent level as asylum officers with limited authority to conduct “credible fear” interviews.”
“By so doing, DHS eliminates part of the bureaucratic process that makes the government move at a snail’s pace. It will alleviate a lot of the backlog that jams up the immigration court system, all the while acting under current authority without the requirement of new legislation.”
This might help in other ways. If they aren’t released into the US for long periods, being fed, clothed, given housing, health care, jobs….it will stop the incentive. When policies are tough, it stops the flow of illegals.
A rumor in 2017 that ‘catch and release’ was ending caused the flow of illegals to DROP to a 45 year low.

More clarification on President Trump, border closing, from John Roberts.

Well, what do you guys think?

phoenixRising

Congress hasn’t passed USMCA yet… So, POTUS can impose tariffs yesterday if he chooses.
John should do his homework.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

I was scratching my head wondering about that.

ladypenquin

John Roberts doesn’t appear to realize that USMCA isn’t formally/legally in place yet. Has to be passed by the Senate. So if NAFTA expires without replacement it goes back to pre-NAFTA days.
I immediately noted that POTUS said, “drugs” – when he mentioned giving Mexico a year… POTUS still has the responsibility to protect the U.S. no matter what other countries do.

wheatietoo

John Roberts is so anti-Trump that Potus made a point of not calling on him in a presser.
And Roberts is probably still butt-hurt about that.

Elizabeth Carter

daughn, I think President Trump’s supporters should not buy anything imported from Mexico until this is settled. That will give him more leverage. There are only 62-65 million of us but it would make a big difference.

Sylvia Avery

I quit buying Mexican produce a couple years ago. I was tired of constantly being on the watch for recall notices due to e coli or salmonella contamination.
But I always check to see where something is made before I buy. If I run into anything else made in Mexico I’ll put it back on the shelf. Really, a small sacrifice to make.

daughnworks247

Good idea!
Count me in!

As far as I know the USMCA is not relevant unless and until it is approved by the Senate. Unless I missed something, they haven’t yet done that.

Sylvia Avery

I don’t know. I hope we hear the rest of the story some day.

Sylvia Avery

This ties in with daughn’s article the other day about General Flynn.
“To Stop the Deep State, Bring Back Mike Flynn!
Why did the Deep State throw caution to the winds in an desperate effort to frame Donald Trump for alleged collusion with Russia–and failing that, to entrap him in an obstruction of justice case? There are a lot reasons for the Establishment to hate Donald Trump, but one of them stands out. During the campaign, Donald Trump denounced the Obama administration for having created ISIS. That claim drew ridicule from the mainstream media, but it is entirely correct. Lt. Gen. Mike Flynn, Trump’s campaign adviser, was head of Defense Intelligence Agency in 2012 when the DIA blew the whistle on CIA backing for Sunni Islamists fighting the Assad regime during the then-raging Syrian civil war. As my friend Michael Ledeen wrote at PJ Media on March 26, the Mueller investigation was all about Flynn.
President Trump should pardon Gen. Flynn right now and summon him back to Washington…”
Read more here:
https://pjmedia.com/spengler/to-stop-the-deep-state-bring-back-mike-flynn/

wheatietoo

A pardon is an admission of wrongdoing.
Gen Flynn should be completed exonerated…and the ones who persecuted him should be prosecuted for framing him and our President!

Sylvia Avery

Yes, that is true.
I took the author’s point to be sort of a Gordian Knot solution: cut through the crap with a sword (or a pardon) and bring back Gen. Flynn and let him get to work on cleaning out the IC.
Of course, had the author been following Q he might have a different idea on how this is all going down… 🙂

wheatietoo

PJ Media is still on probation with me, since they were so Anti-Trump in 2016.
I find myself giving them the side-eye on articles like this.
I mean…they have to know that giving Flynn a pardon and bringing him back to the WH would cause heads to explode.
It is bad advice.

Sylvia Avery

I guess I didn’t take it that seriously, more like fan fiction.
I love the thought of heads exploding and Mike Flynn riding to the rescue and quickly dispatching the IC!
But Mike Flynn would never pass a Senate Confirmation at this point so the only place for him (I think) would be his old job as National Security Advisor or some sort of IC Reorg Czar.
To anyone following Q, this scenario is nothing more than a fantasy. A desire for this all to be fixed and fixed now and a hero riding to the rescue! In real life, that’s not how it works. Ever.

SingularZoe

Exactly, Wheatie.

GA/FL

Creating, funding and arming our enemies one more thing (besides running down the military, promoting Islam, insulting and betraying our country) that President Trump will probably never forgive Obama for doing.

Gil

Start with 50% of California. 😮 Include anchor babies.

Sylvia Avery

Gil, on my local news a couple days ago they told a story about a family from my area. The woman who had legal status (prolly an anchor baby IMO) married a guy who is illegal and has been here illegally for twenty years. She and hubby and his parents, also illegals, took a vacation to Arizona and were enjoying the sights of Tucson and somehow (this was never ever explained!) it was discovered they were illegals and they were rounded up and are facing deportation!
The video of these people showed they were all doing well financially. You can tell. Nice clothing, nicely styled hair, nice furniture, nice vacation. And one of the brothers of the illegal (also illegal) was going to college to be a brain surgeon (I swear!!!).
It was all slanted to show these wonderful people, people just like you and me, were being victimized by The Man.
I almost puked. I turned to the family and said, “Get them outta here! They have to go! They can get in line and be allowed back in the right way, but they need to go!” I’ve become very hard line on this.
Of course, they had already wound me up with the heart wrenching story of an illegal that is being shielded by the loving arms of his church which is giving him sanctuary and a place to stay as long as is necessary because by golly we aren’t going to allow him to be deported.
It drives me crazy.

Gil

And they did well bc they game the system, get free everything, work under the table, then free college, and essentially steal time and again from citizens to get ahead. Its infuriating.

Sylvia Avery

It certainly is.
I know I must sound like a total harpy, and I feel a little guilty. But I was at the grocery store a couple days ago and there was an immigrant father and a swarm of young sons in front of me.
He had three boxes of cereal, two gallons of milk, a bag of oranges, and a bunch of bananas. I had time to notice because the transaction took FOREVER AND EVER.
He didn’t speak English and he had some kind of a voucher/check looking thing that he was using to pay for his groceries. I was curious because I hadn’t seen something like that. In our state, public assistance peeps get EBT cards.
Anyway, it turned out that he was short seventy cents. My first instinct was to hand seventy cents to the cashier so the problem would be solved and I could get out of there. But then I hardened my heart and did nothing except start to do a slow boil.
The situation was finally resolved when he put back a couple of bananas and his magic check was sufficient to pay for his food.
I was discussing it with the family later and my brother said the check was probably from one of the NGO/do-gooder outfits that supports the illegals.
I don’t know. But I’m sure my emotions were reflected on my face. One of the little boys kept staring at me and you know how kids read people. I’m still ashamed as I post this.
And I think about what PDJT says about China, how he doesn’t blame them he blames those who made it possible for them to rip us off all these years.

Cuppa Covfefe

Don’t be ashamed, Sylvia.
They do that here all the time. Waiting for someone else to pay their bills, the missing change, etc., while the line grows longer, and waits. It’s part of their treatment of the Dhimmies (the non-Moslems).
You see, they think that WE owe THEM. That our paying their way is actually our paying the Jizrah, the “infidel tax” that all non-Moslems must pay. That’s how they justify ALL of their behaviour, be it not integrating into our society, not following our laws, stabbing/robbing/raping our women (and often children, be they girls or boys!), and making mayhem and wreaking damage everywhere they go.
Because we owe it to them…
Sound familiar?
Straight from the pit of “Satan Place”…
It’s probably just arriving out your way. It’s been here for years, having spiked tremendously after 9/11. From one day to the next, the Mozzies were “out and proud” with their Hijabs, and full-body-burkas, cheering the (supposed) demise of the USA on the world stage…
What’s even more maddening is that Bushie-boy and his clan perpetrated the whole mess, blamed it on the Moslems (who were in on it, took credit, but could not possibly have taken the buildings down – they don’t have the expertise).
Although we’re supposed to help our neighbors, we are also reminded not to cast pearls to swine…
(To paraphrase Orson Welles in that old Paul Masson commercial, “we serve no swine before its time”)…

Sylvia Avery

In my case, the immigrants were from Central America. They have been pouring into my part of the world for a decade or so. But it’s the same idea.

Deplorable Patriot

I live close enough to the ‘hood, that most of us think there needs to be a dedicated EBT/WIC line at the grocery store that is within walking distance. WIC gets vouchers, as far as I understand. I’ve been behind them in line before. What’s really maddening is when someone gets baby formula. They keep the stuff under lock and key, and the cashier has to go get it from the service desk.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Country star Brad Paisley took the controls of a backhoe to dig up the first pile of dirt in the space that will become a free grocery store to support needy families in Nashville, Tennessee.
Paisley donned a cowboy hat-shaped construction helmet for part of Wednesday’s groundbreaking ceremony for The Store, which is a partnership with his alma mater Belmont University.
The country star and his wife, actress Kimberly Williams-Paisley, said they got the idea after volunteering with their kids at a similar store called the Unity Shoppe in Santa Barbara, California. Construction on the Nashville store is projected to be completed by the end of the year.
“Hunger and food insecurity is a real issue in Nashville,” said Williams-Paisley. “One in seven people deal with food insecurity. That means they don’t know where their next meal is coming from. And it’s even worse for kids, one in five children.”
The store will operate like a real grocery store so that people can go shopping through the aisles and Belmont students and other volunteers will scan their items, but no money will change hands.
“We really want to get people before this is a major crisis,” Williams-Paisley said. “We want to help people in this gap where they are trying to get back on their feet.”
The store will be located on Belmont’s campus and next to the university’s Ministry Center, which will provide heath care and legal aid ministry clinics.
Paisley said this model “takes away the sting of embarrassment for a parent who maybe feels that way because they can’t feed their kid.”
Even the mechanical horse for kids on the outside of the store will be free, he said.
“The kids should not know what their parent is going through,” Paisley said. “That’s not stress a child needs.”

And here’s his latest….

wheatietoo

Uh…how are they going to screen the Needy from the Greedy?
Panera Bread tried this with their ‘free bread’ shops.
They ended up having to close them down, because of so many non-needy people coming in for free bread.
Don’t they realize there is going to be a line out the door, full of people that aren’t really needy?
This is yet another bone-headed, feel-good idea from the leftists in the entertainment world.

Sylvia Avery

I was thinking that, also. About Panera Bread, and we had another local socialist restaurant where you paid only what you could afford. Oddly enough, it was not a sustainable business model and they had to close.
I like Brad Paisley’s music. I don’t think I care for his politics. Very naive idea.

wheatietoo

It’s a very socialist idea.
And I haven’t liked Brad Paisley ever since he slobbered over HusseinO.

Sylvia Avery

Oh ick, he did? I knew his was a Dim, but slobbering over BO is truly the limit.
I saw an interview of Toby Keith awhile ago who, you may recall, was one of the very few who would perform at the Inauguration Day celebration.
He took all kinds of crap from the Commies for his song The Angry American (Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue). Thing is, he was a Dim from a long line of Dims. One of his grandparents on his death bed made him promise to vote Dim always and forever.
Toby sounded a little bit bitter over the whole thing. He said he didn’t leave the Dims, they kicked him out (basically) and he’s never looked back.

judyw

“Community control is NOT communist control” is better stated with a lot less words than I used but here is a link to the model the Paisleys are building on….
http://www.unityshoppe.org/grocery-store/
Parents cannot work and children cannot learn if they do not have access to proper food supplies and a place to live. Prepackaged food bags were eliminated by Unity when their first grocery store opened in 1973. This allowed qualified people (referred by 300 schools, churches, hospitals, counseling and non-profit agencies) to shop for groceries to supplement their limited income. This allows mothers to remain in the workplace, while they provide food for their children. Unity helps low-income parents and seniors avoid welfare programs and homeless situations.
Average households Referred=9,817 annually
$1.5 Million in donated food products distributed annually

Deplorable Patriot

They wanted to consolidate all the food banks into one per metropolitan region, too. Even had the corporate community on board with that. It’s called “Feeding America.” Figured out that was a DS operation years ago.

daughnworks247

It’s such a shame. The closer the service gets to the people, the less resources are used and the more those who are actually in need, are helped.

SingularZoe

So true, Daughn.

judyw

Sylvia, I responded to Wheatie and am posting it here for you to see some hope in the midst of Panera Bread and failed socialist restaurants you are familiar with. I am more familiar with successful long term efforts like the Safe Haven Family Shelter that has such a great success rate of helping people while they are getting back on their feet and keeping families together and the Thistle Farm that helps women who have survived trafficking, prostitution and addiction and deserve a second chance at life.
I also like Brad Paisley’s music but know nothing of his politics which is to his benefit based on your comments….I do wish entertainers would stick to their craft and realize the people who pay money for their recordings and concerts don’t give a rip about their political views..
Wheatie, I just have to say this does not sound like you to criticize an endeavor of people using their own money and sweat equity to try to help people with children getting back on their feet and elderly who would need welfare seemingly without researching the model they are building on which started in 1973.
It looks like the people will be referred to them so that takes care of the greedy/needy issue and I think you can see from the description below of the model they are building on there is way more than “bread” being provided.
I have as many issues as anyone with those leftist in the entertainment world but when I see something like this with the potential to help a lot of people, it really doesn’t matter to me who is doing it using their own money and sweat equity.

Judy, thank you for adding to my understanding of this. With a system of referrals to provide qualified candidates it sounds like a valid charitable organization.
It was really kind of you to take the time to explain. I wish them all the best and hope they are able to genuinely help.

Deplorable Patriot

There is nothing “odd” about the free business model not being sustainable. It just isn’t.
Having been in hunger relief…this is a nice gesture on this man and his wife’s part, but they’re going to be robbed blind. Even our local St. Vincent de Paul system keeps records to keep an eye out for scammers. So do the other food pantries I’ve visited. The people looking for help know when each and every one is open and they line up hours before to be sure to get the best of the selection.
You have to know what you are doing and part of that in hunger relief is making sure people prove that they really are in need.

The problem with “charity” as it is set up, is that in order for the altruistic to take a tax deduction for their donations, the “charity” must have an IRS designation as being one. Therefore the government is involved whether we want them to be or not.

If this is what Vatican II was supposed to do and bring, thank Heaven three successive popes stalled it out until the majority of the perpetrators aged out or died. Brogoglio was about the youngest. Yes, there was damage done, but this level of heresy was not.

GA/FL

I’ve heard preachers say, (paraphrase) Jesus looked like a failure on the cross, Satan, the Romans and Jewish hierarchy thought they had won, but the resurrection showed Christ was victorious over sin and death…and God the Father made him King of King and Lord of Lords.

ladypenquin

Jesus’ entire mission was The Cross.

Cuppa Covfefe

There was a Children’s bible video (Superbook, Beginner’s Bible, not sure) that my son watched years ago, that had Jesus in the manger, and a shadow of a cross formed above the manger (caused by the roof beams).
Amazing how such a profound concept was conveyed so simply.
One year we had a “White Elephant” party just before Christmas. Someone contributed a chocolate Easter Bunny (a nice one, no less). Lots of folks laughed, but the point had been (silently) made: “ohne Ostern hat Weihnachten keinen Sinn” (without Easter, Christmas has no reason)…

GA/FL

True, but even the disciples thought he/they had failed/lost when he was crucified….despite what they told him. Their grief, fear and sense of defeat was real.

ladypenquin

Perhaps that was what the Pope meant, unfortunately, even in the context of what he was saying, he creates a bad impression.
I could see that man, (his disciples thought that Jesus had failed) because “what good to them if he is dead”? The miracle of the Resurrection had not yet occurred, so the meaning of the Cross had not yet come to be revealed. I know almost no theology except a few basics, but what the Pope said left too much room for concern. I don’t care for him, but I love the Church, so I make my peace with this as best I can. 🙂

GA/FL

The Basics are the Essentials.
St. Vincent of Lerins said we must stick with ‘what was believed always, everywhere and by all’ – the true saving Gospel of Jesus Christ and those things that cannot be assailed or subtracted without losing the truth. All else is embellishment and possible conjecture.
I have no patience or use for ‘higher criticism’ of Scripture. Scripture is to be above us, not below us…to be obeyed and honored, not dissected and doubted.

SingularZoe

Agree about the supremacy of the Bible. I think what Francis meant was thatJesus’s death did ot usher in social justice, Francis’s false idea of what he wanted. He worships a false christ. The Lord said, “My kingdom is not of this world.”

GA/FL

Believe me, I’m no fan of this pope…he’s embraced and promulgated so many of the left’s modern mandatory myths, he might as well have been Obama’s press secretary.

“The US has to do something!”, she would say.
And then, before long, we would send troops and money to some hell hole.

Per the discussion regarding the border, Mexico and what POTUS said. FGandC and addressed this, and Ristvan caught it the same way.
ristvan says:
April 4, 2019 at 7:09 pm
As said repeatedly on previous threads, you all are making the HUGE mistake of taking PDJT literally not figuratively. He was aiming at AMLO, and as this impromptu shows, PDJT got thru to AMLO because Mexican behavior has been different since PDJT made the threat.
‘Closing the border’ means at the legal crossings. Huge economic hit to Mexico—but also a huge hit to US economy. Not just autos and auto parts—guacamole!
And closing the legal border does NOTHING to stop the illegal alien invasion from Central America. They don’t come in at legal border crossings. They come in where there is as yet no wall. Until the wall is built, PDJT needs Mexico to enforce its own southern border. That is the brilliant chess gambit he has played. Get over it, Treeper absolutists. Get real.

Sylvia Avery

As soon as I heard how DHS’s surge of Border Patrol employees from the ports of entry to the the rest of the border was causing long, long, hours long back ups at the legal entries on the border, and that trucks full of produce, etc., were sitting there waiting, I got it. So THAT’s the plan!

ladypenquin

🙂

bflyjesusgrl

I have to stop myself from reading all the many Brietbart articles, you know how DHS released over 17,000 last week, etc., it makes me CRAZY!!! POTUS cannot/will not wait a year to deal with this madness, we can’t sustain these numbers. I have faith he will do something to stop it.

ladypenquin

Exactly. I never doubt that POTUS understands the problems and the challenges. Neither do I doubt his planned solutions. He will do what he can, when he can. From #MAGA perspective? POTUS has done more than we ever could have imagined, so I expect we’ll keep marching forward. When or If this country finally reaches an impasse, then there will be Civil War.
This is also a day to rejoice – McConnell now in rapid fire mode getting the judges seated, along with all of POTUS’ senior people.
And… the Federal Court in Kentucky made clear full disclosure is part of informed consent – one more step to saving mothers and babies!

ForGodandCountry

Rhetorical question:
How much more does this demonstratively VSG and true American patriot need to do to earn his supporter’s trust and prove he is NOT a RINO, nor a false conservative, nor a man who is easily outwitted or manipulated by his enemies??
I’ve seen some folks go from “he’s the greatest president EVAR” to “OMG what does he think he’s doing?”…..which is mildly amusing, as they seem to think no one will remember that kind of thing, or else they are supremely unaware of themselves, or perhaps both. Let the reader decide which is more valid.
Bottom line….It took decades to get us into the mess POTUS is trying to clean up. Let’s give him the benefit of the doubt and all the time he needs to do the job right. After all…
He’s earned it….the hardest way imaginable. AND….. not only that…but more importantly…
….he’s delivered FAR beyond what anyone would have even WILDLY speculated as possible at the beginning of his presidency. Promises made, promises kept. Some still to be delivered…true….but hey, it’s only been 2 years of an 8 year presidency (the good Lord willing!).
Pilots are trained by profession to question negative emotions, particularly our fear-based emotions. Anger and fear are self-defeating. <——- remember that, and read up on what Sun Tzu says about them, to say nothing of the instructions of God himself.
It’s fair to ask why is POTUS is doing something in some particular way in an effort to understand.
It is NOT fair to ask such a question as a pathway or lead-in embibing in fear-mongering or criticizing him while simulataneously implying, or flat out suggesting, that said critic knows better or is more capable than PDJT. No one here is…not me, not you…none of us.
Rant over.

You did a good job, FGandC. Sometimes it’s difficult for people, even staunch supporters, to step back and think about how far we’ve come vs how far we have to go. Every night, when hubby asks me about something he’s heard or read, I clarify it for him, yet he’s strong #MAGA.
Because of those all important judges we’re getting rulings which fit the Constitution, not some Communist’s manifesto. Our economy not just from the malaise of the Obama years, but decades of being sold out to the globalists. We gave away almost our entire manufacturing capabilities, and now we’re slowly opening those abandoned factories and hearing the sounds of them coming to life – figuratively and literally.
This is an extraordinary time for America, almost a Revival, a Great Awakening, and it’s great to be living in this time of President Donald J Trump.
I think there is more to come… 🙂

Because of those all important judges we’re getting rulings which fit the Constitution, not some Communist’s manifesto.

There’s an aspect of this that hasn’t been highlighted enough.
Even left wing circuits and districts are now open to reform, because the senators from those areas are not allowed to blue slip (i.e., block) a nominee. That was used in the past to make federal judges in a fascistic area of the country compliant with the culture there, even when it violates the constitution.
Think of the fact that Kalifornia’s mag ban was overturned…

Excellent post, FGandC!

hmmmm

….because, after all, no reasonable, objective person would suspect undue political influence or misconduct I n a time of extreme partisanship and divisiveness within an SC staff comprised of 99% democrat attorneys, would they?
Nahhhhhhhh.
But let’s not get lost on the SC itself!
The REAL questions are:
1) How/why did it REALLY come into being?
AND
2) Was it legal to appoint an SC absent of any crime based upon a fabricated dossier of unproven allegations bought and paid for by an opposing presidential candidate?
Hopefully THIS is what is under investigation….and I think it is.

Marica

Agree with you FG&C!! Horowitz is the key to this!!

Gail Combs

“Wow. Looks like Horowitz may also be investigating the Special Counsel.”
LOOK at Tracy Beanz YouTube Must Watch! Analysis of Byron York and John Dowd
President Trump’s lawyer John Dowd had some interesting things to say that Tracy points out. The last ~15 minute were an eye opener. NO ONE knew Rosenstink had appointed Mueller. AG Sessions was shocked! Worse, there was NO CRIME and Rosenstink made ZERO attempt to investigate Comey despite that being standard practice since he made the accusations against President Trump that were the reason for the Special Counsel.
On top of that the whole Manafort thing was ‘unusual’ as was the General Flynn plea deal.

I certainly hope that thanks to Horowitz, Rosenstink, the Mule’s arse and the 17 anger DemonRats end up in jail. After completely trashing the Rule of law they need to be held to account.

Marica

Sessions “was shocked” (or played his part well)–But PDJT was NOT shocked. He had meeting with RR and RM for 4 hours the DAY BEFORE RR sppointed RM as SC… NO COINCIDENCES…
John Dowd has part to play as well?

As of right now, I wouldn’t; it’s a beautiful picture of a rat house.
(And yes that’s a bi-lingual pun, if you look up the German word “rathaus.”)

And we all get to stew over it…

It really is beautiful, isn’t it!

daughnworks247

Isn’t it STRANGE how the story immediately turns back to General Mike Flynn?

Marica

Absolutely!!! Like you said the other day–Mike Flynn is THE KEY! The Plan is like a Mission Impossible flick! Not kidding.

Marica

LOVE THIS!! I forgot about this Q drop!!!

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

Ah, yes, gold…it gives me a warm feeling.

Marica

THis QUOTE gives me warm feeling…
A gold standard is to the moochers and looters in government what sunlight and garlic are to vampires.
HA!🤣🤣😳🏆

TheseTruths

I hope everyone will be careful, and I don’t just mean looking over their shoulders. Extraordinary security and high-tech measure need to be in place for protection. People have been killed over both gold and the Fed.

SteveInCO · Thermonuclear MAGA

Not entirely unrelatedly, I am surprised Flynn is still alive, if he’s as critical as everyone claims.

Julian Assange is going to be expelled from embassy and arrested. Supposedly within hours or a few days. This is live feed.

wheatietoo

So there’s an ‘Assange Watch’ going on?
Has anyone even seen Julian in recent weeks?
I’m thinking that he has already been spirited away…and this ‘announcement’ was simply the wrap-up storyline.

Marica

Let’s hope so, wheatie!! He is THE PRIZE! and HRC and all coup plotters and Seth Rich’s killer and…WANT HIM GONE! BOOM!

wheatietoo

Turning Assange over to the Brit police would be like signing his death warrant.
People in power there were in on the coup too…and wanted HRC to win.
So yeah, I’ve got my fingers crossed that he has already been extracted by our good guys.

Marica

Hoping tents and teddies are part of show.. JA ‘s Mom hasnt posted today… FTR…

Gil

Yeah. Anon speculation a few months ago was that he was the one who was taking a few pics in airplane cockpits. That he was riding in cockpits, with secret service picking him up, as in “suspicious package” so no one else photographing etc. during the extraction. That he was testifying for the grand juries here. Interesting theory. Wont know til he shows.

Marica

Wow GIl!! That is Super interesting “Mission Impossible” stuff! (watching right now) LOL!
Hope you and family are on the mend!! We’ve missed you!!😘

Gil

Much better, but life is ongoing so the next thing is around ceryainly. 🙄🙄🙄😚

Sorry Anons, TGP reporter went to see him and did article about his extreme lockdown. She was there last Monday also.
Additionally, Pompeo and others in US State/DOJ have been hot to get their hands on Assange, and not in a good way. Unless he made a deal, he should stay away from USA.

I wonder what’s up with those little tents with white teddy bears in them?
That’s kind of weird.

I’m glad they ended that awful practice. But does anyone see the irony of a bill to save kittens heavily promoted by democrats who care nothing of human babies being killed?

HOW is this creep still in public life??????????

“Louis Farrakhan told a crowd in Chicago in February that he is Jesus, the Messiah.
“God does not love this world,” he said in his Nation of Islam Saviour’s Day keynote address. “God never sent Jesus to die for this world. Jesus died because he was 2,000 years too soon to bring about the end of the civilization of the Jews. He never was on a cross, there was no Calvary for that Jesus.”
Farrakhan went on to claim that he is the real son of God, sent to save the world.
“The real story is what I tried to tell you from the beginning,” he said. “It didn’t happen back there. It’s happening right while you’re alive looking at it. I represent the Messiah. I represent the Jesus and I am that Jesus. If I am not, take my life.”

Some more details on the Thai soccer team rescused from the cave last year.
They were given ketamine to sedate them. Just, wow. And they lived.
Medics who treated the 12 boys and their soccer coach rescued from a cave in Thailand last year credit the drug ketamine with playing a key role in the daring and dangerous mission to extract them.
According to details of the rescue released in a medical journal Thursday, the boys were given unspecified doses of ketamine, also known as party drug Special K, by the rescue divers as they were taken out of Tham Luang cave.
Reports at the time had suggested that the children, who had been trapped for two weeks, were sedated during the operation, but officials gave few details.
“We had to use the means that could keep the children not to be panicky while we were carrying them out,” Thai Navy SEAL commander Rear Adm. Arpakorn Yookongkaew told CNN shortly after the rescue. “Most importantly, they are alive and safe.”
In a joint letter to the New England Journal of Medicine, three Thai medics and an Australian anesthetist who was involved in the rescue said the boys also wore full-face masks supplying oxygen and poorly fitting wetsuits.
They detailed the care the boys received in a field hospital immediately after they left the cave, giving a sense of the perilous nature of the rescue mission.
The first four boys were given sunglasses to protect their eyes because they had not been exposed to the sun for more than two weeks, and their heads and necks immobilized in case of spinal injury during the journey through the narrow channels in the cave. Finally, the patients were wrapped in blankets to ward off hypothermia.
The letter said the second boy to leave the cave had a body temperature of 35 degrees Celsius (95 Fahrenheit) when he came out and developed hypothermia on his way to the hospital. Hypothermia can cause damage to vital organs, including the heart and kidneys, and the nervous system.
The medics said ketamine was a good choice to give to the boys, given the risk of hypothermia, as ketamine impairs shivering and is associated with smaller drops in core body temperature.

Very well said. Someone needs to beat these socialist dems over the head with it! (Figuratively, of course).

Deplorable Patriot

Socialists will either willfully ignore it or find a way to reason themselves into willfully ignoring it. It’s like they skipped over algebra when it comes to solving for x and y.

NebraskaFilly

IMO, the City of Chicago will lose their lawsuit against Smollett. Strictly from a point of law, he has never been convicted in a court and the charges have now been dropped with no admission of wrongdoing on his part. The judge cannot consider any of the speculation that has been put out in the media. I would be interested in a civil attorney’s opinion.

TheseTruths

I’m hoping that, whatever happens, there will be a discovery process during which facts will come out and Smollett will have to testify about discrepancies in his story. I’d like him to be on the record, under oath.

NebraskaFilly

Yeah – right after I posted that, I saw that about discovery. Good point!
