Come on up on the deck; get comfy and enjoy the view:
This Saving the Republic 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.
Free Speech is practiced here at the Q Tree. In fact, our host Wolfmoon encourages us to use it…and Enjoy it. “Use it or lose it”, he tells us.
But please keep it civil. Discussion of Q is not only allowed but encouraged. Imagine that! We can talk about Q here and not get banned.
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 that Wolf has created for us.
Remember – your greatest gift to President Trump is FIVE WORDS:
I AM PRAYING FOR YOU.
Wheatie’s Rules:
No food fights.
No running with scissors.
If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.
…………………………………………………
For your listening enjoyment, I offer this composition from Thomas Bergersen of TSFH, titled ‘Empire of Angels’:
Visual descriptions for our dear Zoe, and for anyone else who may find them helpful: Top Image: Is a fantasy scene featuring two gigantic trees on either side of a canyon, with a winding river at the bottom. There are two figures in swings, hanging from a large section of tree-growth that spans like a bridge across the canyon. Rivulets of water are streaming out from underneath one of the huge trees, cascading down the canyon wall.
In the distance, what looks like an early morning haze covers the landscape, with the golden glow of sun coming up. There is another giant tree in the distance, beside what appears to be a castle. Smaller trees and dense vegetation cover the surrounding hills. Second Image: Is a stone pathway leading up to an arched double doorway. The doors are set into what looks like bark at the base of a giant tree trunk. The doors have intricate carving and some small blue glowing lights, embedded in the carved design. In the foreground, the path begins under a tunnel-like growth of trees and dense vegetation…then opens up into rays of light shining down onto the path at the doorway. Third Image: Is a covered deck overlooking treetops and an expanse of large tree-covered hills. It is a comfy looking open room with sunlight streaming in. There is a green couch across from a metal wood-burning heater. Large bark-covered branches support the ceiling. It is a sunny view, with a lingering haze between some of the hills. Fourth Image: Is President Trump walking up to the Marine One helicopter. He is saluting the Marine who is standing at attention beside the chopper stairs, saluting his President. The President is wearing his long dark topcoat.
We haven’t talked about this but the red warning lights are pinging.
Take a look at Ben Sasse during the Barr testimony.
None of this makes sense to me.
Ben Sasse references page 129-144 of the Mueller Report and how it speaks to Deripaska. Remember, if the Mueller team can escape their inquiry by finding Trump innocent, but leave the impression of overwhelming Russian GUILT, then the inquiry is deemed valuable and the Dems are left with the conclusion “Hillary only lost because of Russia = Trump is illegitimate”
It appears imperative to the intel community to paint Russia’s involvement in the 2016 election as a big deal, something for which we need to form committees, spend vast sums of taxpayer dollars, and guard against for 2020. Also, if Russian involvement is legitimate, then previous actions by FBI/DOJ/CIA – spying on the Trump campaign – would be deemed legitimate = we did it to protect you.
At the Barr hearing on Mueller’s Report, Sasse comes out of the box with questions disparaging Oleg Deripaska. Barr says he would rather not give his opinion in an open setting. Not to be deterred, Sasse goes on to quote a publicly available document from US Treasury. Sasse lists a litany of Deripaska’s “crimes and allegations” and presumes “he’s a bad guy”. Yet, Sasse goes on to call Deripaska a “bottom-feeding scum-sucker”. Ouch! “And he has absolutely no alignment with the interests of the US people”, Sasse finishes.
Well, we know that’s not…. quite….. true. Deripaska’s interests definitely aligned with John McCain, Mueller, and the CIA on several occasions.
We know Mueller offered Deripaska 25 million dollars to help get Levinson out of Iran. Levinson was McCabe’s mentor and old boss to both McCabe and Ohr in SDNY, remember?
Oleg also wanted a VISA to the USA and Hillary denied it, which is, perhaps, why Levinson is still in Iran.
We also know, according to John Solomon of The Hill, McCabe approached Deripaska in NYC, for information about Trump colluding with Russia, and Oleg laughed.
We know about Senator Warner and his conversations with Adam Waldman, the lawyer for both Chris Steele and Oleg Deripaska. Adam Waldman stopped representing Deripaska the day before Deripaska was sanctioned by our Treasury.
And then…….. there’s that little matter of John McCain’s 70th birthday, on board Oleg Deripaska’s super-yacht….. which was docked in Montenegro.
And McCain’s push for Montenegro to be added to the NATO list of countries, so we are defending Montenegro, which is largely considered a Russian playground on the Mediterranean. Background see here: Link
Oh, let’s not forget the old Soviet Naval base in Montenegro, bought for a pittance by Rothschild and Deripaska, who turned it into a super yacht marina…… where John McCain had his 70th birthday party.
And the subsequent fundraisers for John McCain, hosted by Rothschild, in London, prior to the election of 2008.
And who could forget Nastya, the Belarus model, mistress to Deripaska, who gave classes on “how to seduce a billionaire”, but was arrested in Thailand. She claimed to have been arrested because she had information about Donald Trump. Link
What a tangled web. Deripaska has been involved in US Politics for quite a while but let’s get back to Ben Sasse. Ben continues giving his speech during the Barr hearing and claims “Manafort was on Deripaska’s payroll”, and Sasse tries to imply a nefarious reason (Deripaska loyalty) as to why Manafort would volunteer to work for Candidate Trump. Well, that’s not an entirely accurate picture either. Deripaska and Manafort tried to put the deal together for Black Sea Cable, but the deal never went through. Although much has been made of this failed deal, Deripaska did not lose the entire 18 million (only about 2 million). This incident has been painted as the source of contention between Manafort and Deripaska, but it does not pass the smell test.
Then, at about 3:30 in the video, Sasse sums up his ‘speech’ and pivots. Sasse’s mission of establishing Deripaska as a bad man was completed. Sasse pivots to FINALLY ask a question to Barr, in essence, “what can we do to avoid this problem in the future.”
The setup is glaringly odd.
If Sasse is worried about foreign intel agencies in our elections, he did not need a long-winded prerequisite about Deripaska and Manafort. See what I mean? Why the over the top language about Deripaska, “bottom-feeding scum-sucker” when we know our intel agencies AND the hero of Ben Sasse (John McCain) seemed to like Deripaska. Did I mention…. none of us have ever seen any proof of GRU involvement in influencing our elections….. we just have the word of CrowdStrike….. and the Mueller team.
We’re left with Senators and media, nodding in agreement about Russian interference, but what do we actually have as proof? From Mueller/CrowdStrike we have three main areas.
1. We have the Mueller indictment of military members of the GRU, which Russia denies and we know will never be brought to trial – even though Putin offered Mueller to trade info at the Helsinki Summit.
2. We have a few companies and individuals who worked for an alleged Russian troll farm indicted. The case is being defended by American lawyers, in a DC court, and the Mueller case is in trouble. It’s not going well for Mueller. Don’t be surprised to see this case fade away.
3. We have the charge of Russians buying approximately $164,000 worth of Facebook Ads. I looked at this one myself. From Congressional testimony of Facebook execs, we know the ads disparaged BOTH Hillary and Trump. We know the ads were placed for several months before and AFTER the election “to sow discord in the USA”. Well, I took a look at Facebook ad revenue at the end of Q1 of 2017. Facebook reported more than 9 billion dollars in ad revenue for a single quarter. Thus, if we do the math $164K/9 billion = .0000182222. Huh? That’s not even 2 thousandths of 1% of Facebook ads. AND the actual occurrence would be even less, since we know the ads were purchased over several quarters.
This is why we spent 3yrs of our time investigating interference by Russians? Think of the billions of dollars in media time spent on this subject. Think of the relatives not invited to Thanksgiving dinner because of the controversy. Think of the damage to our foreign policy. Wow, we could have teamed up with Russia in the Middle East against Islamic extremism or with Russia as an ally against China.
Yet, for some reason, our intel community, the press, and power brokers don’t want the USA and Russia to be friends. Wonder why that is………?
We have been way ahead of the curve on the Ukraine intrigue. I see Ben Sasse on the horizon. His reaction makes no sense to me, whatsoever, and we need to know why.
This FANTASTIC FRIDAY open thread is VERY OPEN – a place for everybody to post whatever they feel they would like to tell the White Hats, and the rest of the MAGA world.
You can say what you want, comment on what other people said, and so on. Free Speech is practiced here.

Use it or lose it. 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.

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:
No food fights.
No running with scissors.

.
Hello again, Wolf pack, and welcome to another end of the work week! I don’t know about you, but that cabin PA above is an immediate classic. Oh how we wish we could improvise those boring PA’s and veer off-script! Hey, we can all dream, can’t we?
If only! Ah well. Onward and upward, as we say. This week’s Friday wrap up begins with this MAGAtastic news….
And then Monday the BEA came out with consumer spending results for the first quarter that defy expectations. Consumer spending on goods increases 1.7%. Overall spending +.09 in March, reaches highest gain in ten years. Meanwhile core inflation drops to 1.6%.
Guess what? The pundits are shocked. SHOCKED, I say!
Now, leftists are scared….truly scared….because nothing spells S-E-C-O-N-D T-E-R-M like a roaring economy. Hey, even CNN agrees…check this out…
Now, if you talk with them (and I do) the precious snowflakes love to describe this economy…and it’s attendant stock market….as a “sugar high” that is quickly going to sour. To which I say…Ha! Kinda like all their other failed predictions, right? Remember how the stock market was supposed to crash right after the election because OrangeManBad? And let’s not forget that, according to them, the polar caps should have melted by now and we’re all supposed to be under water!
In other news, on the very same day that an unhinged leftist wacko shot up a synagogue in Poway, California, the good folks that run that flagship of liberal propaganda…the NY Slimes…decided that this week would be a great time to inform the world that not only do they hate PDJT, but also Jewish people, too. And nothing says a thousand words like a picture, which the nitwits at the Slimes decided to publish. Check it out…
The anti Semitic cartoon published by the @nytimes is a symptom of a deeper problem on the left. It’s acceptable to many on the left to employ anti Semitic tropes as long as they’re directed against Israel. Anti Zionism is becoming an acceptable cover for anti Semitism
Faced with massive condemnation and backlash, the NYSlimes was forced to retract the picture and then subsequently issue an apology for having published it. After all….
But they weren’t done…oh no…not by a long-shot. Following quickly on the heels of that faux pas the anti-Semitic Jew haters at the Old Grey Lady published this…
Naturally, the best way to counter such vile hate is with ridicule and mockery, and very few do it better than the masterful Mel Brooks…
.
Moving along…
The excellent watchdogs at Judicial Watch released over 300 pages of emails from Nellie Ohr, proving she was far more involved with the creation of the “Muh Russia” coup attempt than anyone thought. These emails also prove she purjured herself giving Congressional testimony, so guess what??
Wednesday was also a YUGELY interesting day as AG Barr testified before the Senate Judiciary Committee chaired by Sen. Lindsey Graham. This was his first appearance before Congress since the release of the Mueller Report and the AG’s summary of it. For an excellent play-by-play recap, here is the link back to the QTree Barr Testimony thread…by our very own daughnworks247…
During the AG’s 5 hour testimony, the democrats established their new narrative post-Mueller report…to wit, that AG Barr is corrupt, is acting as POTUS’ personal lawyer, and is a liar…..the messaging of which was inarguably closely coordinated with their media allies. This is a gross hypocrisy that Brit Hume quickly pointed out…
Remember when the Post got all over Eric Holder for stonewalling Congress, being found in contempt and for declaring himself Barack Obama’s “wing man.” Neither do I. https://t.co/LK4W53jZzj
Of course, the Commie bastards now know the AG is coming after the democrat-led cabal inside the DOJ/FBI/C_A, and they are rightfully terrified. So they seek to discredit the AG in advance of the political and legal harm heading their way.
How terrified are they?
A: They NOW want to block Bob Mueller from testifying before Congress. SERIOUSLY! Watch this action on Wednesday in the House Judiciary Committee, now chaired by the odious Jerry Nadler, as the AG was testifying just a few doors down…changing the rules of the committee in order to prevent Mueller from being called to testify….check this out…
Latest from the sideshow: Democrats attempt to squash debate and ram an unprecedented motion through House Judiciary Committee. pic.twitter.com/0lCy2K5iFh
Folks, if this surprises you…at this point…you’re doing it wrong.
Anyway, after the democrats’ performance in both the Senate and House Judiciary Committees on Wed., exposing their plot to discredit the AG while preventing Mueller from appearing and getting questioned by Republicans, AG Barr decided that he wasn’t going to play along with the clowns and refused to appear at Thursday’s HJC meeting…
At this point, you should be able to smell the left’s fear like a burrito fart in a closed elevator. Believe me when I say the left is well aware of all that we already know re: the Obama administration’s corruption and Spygate. They know their party is now very close to being electorally obliterated for a generation or more. This is why they be all like…
So we gotta ask….how is this all playing out with the public? Hmmmm??
Friends, I can’t speak for you, but I just L-O-V-E heaping even more bad news for liberals on top of them, ESPECIALLY when it comes from their own crooked and corrupt media. So you just know I truly enjoy throwing this giant can of high octane avgas on an already raging democrat dumpster fire…(credit to Fleporblog)…
— Andrew Bostom, MD, MS (@andrewbostom) May 2, 2019
From the article linked above (emphasis Fle’s….):
More than two-thirds of Americans want an investigation into the Justice Department’s handling of the Russia Collusion Hoax.T
According to a April 25-28 poll of 1,007 random adults taken for CNN (a far-left fake news outlet), a full 69 percent “think Congress ought to investigate the origins of the Justice Department’s inquiry into Russian interference in the 2016 election, including 76% of Democrats, 69% of independents and 62% of Republicans.”
.
Two liberals and a conservative react….
Of course, there was much more than happened during the week, and discerning readers will be sure to visit Fleporblog’s daily news roundup threads. The news is coming fast & furious these days and it’s getting harder and harder to keep up. In fact…
Whew! What a week. The winnamins, eh??
Lastly, but not leastly, we’ll leave you with a tayyyyystie nugget of timeless music to take you gently, but gloriously, into the weekend.
In a nod to liberal’s deepening despair and our own delicious, ever-increasing schadenfreude and joy post-Obummer, I present to you one of Led Zeppelin’s very best songs along with some interesting song notes….which we dedicate today to President Trump and his administration.
First, it is one of the very few in which all four members of the band received writing credit. Second, Robert Plant himself ranks his vocal performance on the original track as his personal all-time best. Third, the song was inspired by George Harrison of The Beetles, who was a big fan and friend of the band. And fourth, from Wikipedia…
“George Harrison was reportedly the inspiration for it when he made a comment to Led Zeppelin drummer John Bonham, about the fact that the group never wrote any ballads.[4] In Light and Shade: Conversations with Jimmy Page, biographer Brad Tolinski quotes Page:
George [Harrison] was talking to Bonzo one evening and said, ‘The problem with you guys is that you never do ballads.’ I said, ‘I’ll give him a ballad,’ and so I wrote ‘Rain Song,’ which appears on House of the Holy. In fact, you’ll notice I even quote (Beatles’ song) ‘Something’ in the song’s first two chords.
Record producer Rick Rubin said of the song, “I don’t even know what kind of music this is. It defies classification. There’s such tasteful, beautiful detail in the guitar, and a triumphant feel when the drums come in — it’s sad and moody and strong, all at the same time. I could listen to this song all day. That would be a good day.”
Ok then.
So with that all said, friends, we invite you to kick back, relax, enjoy today’s flight, and if there is anything we can do for you just let us know.
This Fabulous Friday Open Thread is VERY OPEN – a place for everybody to post whatever they feel they would like to tell the White Hats, and the rest of the MAGA world.

………………………………………………………………
For your listening enjoyment, I offer this composition from the artist Lisa Van Hal, titled ‘Turning Point’:
We’ve had many weddings at our B&B, and while all of them are different, one variable is guaranteed – high drama.
On a hot and humid summer day, a Navy Sailor called me from Pensacola, on station. He was was awkward and intimidated, young and not well spoken, but incredibly polite and respectful. I wanted to reach through the phone and hug him, but I could barely hear him over the din in the kitchen. He was exasperated in trying to tell me what he wanted, and finally, he blurted out, “I need a fairy godmother!”…… and I stopped on a dime.
My step grandfather was a Chief Petty Officer out of Pensacola. He accumulated vast wealth in rental property, and sailors were his tenants. I recalled the times we would go to collect rents on Saturdays, and he often brought diapers, hams, turkeys, or cash, to give back to his men. Grandpa Ray taught me how to be a “leader of men” in an honorable way. A generation later, with Grandpa Ray sadly deceased, I faced one of his men. The young man on the phone was one of those guys, Grandpa Ray’s sailors, pride of the US Navy. I felt instantly connected to this young man and willing to move heaven and earth, be the fairy godmother, to help him.
After hushing the staff, I moved into the butler’s pantry to hear him better and plugged my outside ear with my thumb. My sailor explained he joined the Navy right out of high school and fallen in love with a young woman from our town. In order to obtain base housing for married persons, they married secretly at a local court house, but both families did not know. He needed to stage a wedding for both extended families, who were deeply religious and highly traditional. He had to do the wedding fast, in August, as his time off was limited and his young bride was already pregnant. He also wanted to honor his new bride with the wedding she deserved. She already had her wedding gown, with a blue sash to honor his Navy service, but was unable to use it. My bottom lip fell, how sad.
My sailor only had a few moments to talk with me and communication with him would be difficult. We made arrangements for him to call me once a week at an appointed time for updates and questions we might have. He gave me a date, a credit card for a very limited budget ($500 was all he could afford), and put the rest in my hands. Understand, most weddings are lavish affairs costing tens of thousands of dollars. The facility fee alone was $1000. I was going to need a magic wand, pumpkins and mice, with only $500 to spend.
I walked out of the butler’s pantry with that “look of foreboding” on my face and the girls said, “What’s wrong?” I explained the situation. “He’s just trying to rip you off.”, “How are we going to pull off a wedding with only $500?”, “A wedding in August – it’s too hot” were the reactions from the staff. I told them the motives of the sailor were immaterial and we were GOING to do the wedding – we simply had to figure it out. Silence and grumbling…. we were thinking.
Weeks passed, we had a cake ordered, some minor hors d’oeuvres/coffee/punch settled/I ordered flowers to make the bouquets and boutonnieres myself, some of the staff agreed to donate time, and a severely limited guest list. The poor sailor was sending me $100/week, and his buddies were chipping in to help him. Yet, we had one major problem – the minister or judge who would charge $250. We had to have an official.
That’s when my Sailor said, “Well, since we’re already married, could you husband pretend to be the minister?”
The idea was delicious. My first husband as a pretend minister….. I chuckled to myself. I would have agreed to work the wedding for free just to see it happen. This was the guy who did 12yrs of Catholic School and whom I had to fight, to get him into a church for OUR wedding, let alone a funeral. He owned a construction company, had dirty fingernails, carried a weapon, was rough and tough…… as a minister? “I think it might be a possibility”, was my response.
It was the Thursday before the wedding. Husband came home, middle of the day, and we were moving furniture around, getting ready. He knew there was a wedding that weekend but did not follow the details of what we were doing. All the girls were here, we knew he had to “play” the minister role, and the moment was ripe to spring the idea on him.
Most of what we did at the B&B was done by my staff of girlfriends and a few high school aged guys. Every now and then, we needed husband help, help from his men, or to borrow big equipment. Of course, he would inevitably oblige but we had to fawn all over him for the help. No problem, we fawned well.
I can’t remember what I said, or how we told him he had to be the minister for a wedding, but I will never forget the look on his face as the idea washed over him. Then, came his objections.
“You want me to do what?” — re-explanation of the situation
“My blue suit is not cleaned” — it was back from the dry cleaner, shirt pressed, ready to go. We even made a boutonniere for you!
“Me as a minister? That’s illegal” — no, they were already married.
“God’s going to strike me dead in my own living room!” — No, the big guy would understand you’re being benevolent, helping your fellow man, doing a favor for a Navy Sailor, a young couple just starting out their life together….. It’s a charitable act, we insisted.
“If the guys find out about this, I’ll never live it down.” — It’s the right thing to do and you know it is. You’re the only one who can help us.
“I don’t even know what to say for a ceremony.” — Lisa stood up and handed him a printed out version of a ceremony and a small blue leather bound book of Psalms to hold. We were ready.
“So, you all have cooked this up and I’m the guy, right?” — Yep, you’re the guy.
Friday night before the wedding was a flurry of activity. Husband wandered into the kitchen and in his stern voice said to me, “Can I speak to you for a moment?” I was confused, “Wow, so formal”, I thought. We went into our small bathroom to talk privately. He said, “I’ve been going over the ceremony and think it would be proper to add a small prayer. I found one here”, he said, pointing to the page in Book of Psalms. “You think that would be okay?”, he said. I stifled my laughter. He was taking his role seriously, trying to do a good job. I was proud of him for rising to the occasion. “Yes, that would be lovely.”, I replied.
Saturday morning was easy. We fussed over husband, and he went upstairs to “calm the groom”. The bride was spectacularly beautiful. We kept the men, in their dress uniforms, in a separate location so they would not see the bride and her maids. The guests arrived and were all traditional, no incidents. We did have one talkative aunt to the bride arrive in a very short lavender dress. I was beginning to think we would skate. Families were situated on opposing couches in front of the parlor fireplace. Music started from a CD player. Husband walked into the room, with the groom, to perform the ceremony. We nodded at him, and all the girls were standing in back, nervous, waiting to see what husband would do….. and if he would blow his cover.
Husband did well. At one point, he looked directly at me and wrinkled his forehead, but none of us could tell what was happening. He kept his composure. Wedding done. Time to cut the cake. It was a little bit after 2:00pm and hot as hell outside.
Back in the kitchen, husband went straight to the beer fridge, grabbed a beer, peeled out of his suit coat, loosened his tie, and stood on the back porch to drink a beer. He came back in, grabbed another beer to ‘nurse it’, and was talking to the girls in the kitchen. We asked him about why he paused.
Husband explained. He was in the midst of the vows, staring down at his printed sheet, trying his best to be serious, but wondering how in the heck he got into this situation. From the corner of his eye, on the couch, the bodacious and extroverted aunt in her short skirt had her legs crossed. As a man, he looked at her legs….. and she had a perfectly formed devil’s trident tattoo, which started at her ankle – with a tail that went all the way up her calf and towards her thigh……….. He thought, if ever there was a moment “God would strike me dead”, surely, this was it…..
Husband was relating the story to the girls in the kitchen. He was shining in his moment of glory, with lots of laughter from the staff. We couldn’t believe he made it through the whole ceremony. I was standing in the utility room, when the mother of the groom wandered in, ready for the cake knife. She glanced into the kitchen at my husband, whom she thought was the minister, but turned abruptly. We both left to cut the cake.
A few minutes later, photographs were taken, speeches given. I was cutting and serving the wedding cake when I overheard the mother of the groom say to another relative, “I can’t wait to get out of the city (we have a population of 8,000), the ministers here…….They’re shameful……… They’re all beer drinkers.”
Oh my.

Remember to KEEP PRESIDENT TRUMP IN PRAYER.
OUR FIVE WORDS TO HIM:
WE ARE PRAYING FOR YOU
Always keep our movement’s larger purpose in mind – RESTORATION!!!
That is why there MUST BE cleaning of the SWAMP!!!
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:
No food fights.
No running with scissors.
If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.
NOW….
THREE THINGS TONIGHT:
1.
Although I now have FOUR NIGHTS a week covered by authors (other than myself) who want to do Daily Threads, as follows, I am still looking for more.
Monday – Wheatietoo
Tuesday – Wolf Moon
Wednesday – Wolf Moon
Thursday – Wolf Moon
Friday – ForGodandCountry
Saturday – Wheatietoo
Sunday – ThinkThinkThink
If you think you would like to take one of the remaining “Wolf” days (T, W. Th, meaning you post the night before at midnight), please let me know. I am encouraged by the great reception that our Daily Thread authors are getting, and would love to add one or two new Daily Thread authors to take maximum advantage of this effect.
You need to be US-based, operating from a secure home computer (not on a roaming laptop or mobile device), and otherwise pass somewhat rougher vetting than even Wolf’s Extreme Vetting which posters normally pass. Some upstanding interested people in deep blue zones may simply be put on hold until enough of the swamp is IN JAIL, at which point American security will automatically tighten.
The reasons I am now being a bit more cautious about (a) location of authors, and (b) making sure that this place could run smoothly if I were, say, indisposed due to some kind of LAWFARE plot, has to do with both items 2 and 3. I believe that my strongest earlier suspicions about DOJ and FBI under Rosenstein are now confirmed. More on that below.
So if you’re interested, please let me know.
2.
There is an article in Human Events about AG Barr that your really need to read. HOWEVER, WordPress goes NUTS if the URL “embeds”, so here is a masked link:
I will also embed the URL at the END of this post, where it can’t mess anything up.
This article explains my theory on Barr, Mueller and Rosenstein in LEGAL terms.
To ME, it confirms that Rosey is a black hat who has more successfully than anybody masked himself. He was willing to let OTHERS decide Trump’s fate, once he created the corrupt Mueller process. This is how they created plausible deniability of malicious intent. Rosey threw the magic potato that turned into a grenade and said “That’s OK, just follow the process for throwing potatoes and all will be well. See? I agree with Bill Barr now that he’s my boss.”
It’s LAWFARE. I can SEE IT. Others did, too, and that is why they booted Sessions to get somebody to END THE LAWFARE based on BAD LAW (the subsection in question, which will eventually go to SCOTUS, and which is the basis of Democrat obstruction traps).
I believe that the NEED to bring in Barr is related to the “change” in “Trust Sessions” – that there was a need to stop “trusting” him and replace him. Basically, a CHANGE in the plan. In my opinion, people RIGHTLY stopped trusting Rosey, but they needed to remove SESSIONS to get past Rosey the Rook, who had castled with King Robert of Mueller.
Whatever. Water under the bridge, but WE were pawns in it. WE had to go, so that Trump supporters who liked Sessions would get out of the way of FALLING SESSIONS, who pretty much fell on his sword.

The Democrats are extremely serious about 2020. I am seeing plot investments on a scale which DWARFS anything I have seen before.
I believe that the Democrats and black hats have LOST access to NSA data on me, and that this explains why there has been a relatively large degree of calm in my life. HOWEVER, I have now discovered how they intend to remedy that situation, and it’s fairly ingenious. Independent discovery of the same by the White Hats will validate.
Are you ready? Are your little fingers limber? The Barr Testimony is like a NFL playoff game for the political class. The networks are bringing in the big guns to daytime — so the heavyweights can explain it to us — under the assumption we could not possibly understand it without their help. Well, our live thread has proved the pundits wrong, time and again. We are the news!
When we did the first live thread, I was surprised at the difference of what WE focused on, as regular American voters, as opposed to what quotes the pundits pulled and tried to twist out of cherry-picked testimony. Quite revealing. All are welcome for the live thread. Michael is in charge of snacks! Hope you can make it!
Here is the link to the live testimony from FOX. All the pundits will be out and wearing their best Easter outfits this morning. I’s a rehash of the Mueller report. Thankfully, Barr’s first appearance will be in front of the Lindsey Graham led Senate Judiciary Committee. At least the Republicans will have a chance to establish narrative before Jerry Nadler gets started tomorrow.
Put on a pot of coffee and we can have brunch together. The Barr testimony starts at 10:00am Eastern.
Here is a copy of the Barr opening statement, released last night. Only 4 pages. Easy read for those who arrive early. Link to BARR opening statement to Senate
See you soon!
This REEEEEE-ATTLE MARXIST MAYHEM MAY DAY 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.
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 to KEEP PRESIDENT TRUMP IN PRAYER.
WE ARE PRAYING FOR HIM
Always keep our movement’s larger purpose in mind – RESTORATION!!!
That is why there MUST BE cleaning of the SWAMP!!!
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:
No food fights.
No running with scissors.
If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.
NOW….
Some of you may have bad associations with “May Day”, as a day when the COMMIES come out to make noise…
Which in reality looks more like THIS…..
Although I’m sure you’d much rather be HERE…..

So NOT EVERYBODY who shows up at an activity on MAY DAY is a communist…..
But still…….

OK – admittedly that is neither May Day nor is it IN Reeattle, BUT that is the kind of people the cops have to deal with.
Enjoy your REEATTLE MAY DAY. Marxist Mayhem or not.
And remember to watch out for those White Nationalists. Because even the black ones are extremely dangerous to our democracy and cause a lot of mayhem.
Well, maybe just when nobody else is looking, or in another universe. 😉
