This WE LOVE OUR FLAG WEDNESDAY 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 KAG! KMAG world (KMAG being a bit of both).
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.
And what do we want to be able to tell our VSG?
I AM PRAYING FOR YOU!
AND WHAT TIME IS IT?
TIME TO….
DRAIN 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

Forget about Nike! Thanks to their silly flag flap, I’m excited about the Betsy Ross Flag!
The “circle” of 13 stars is actually a “tridecagon”, or a “triskaidecagon”, or a 13-gon.
Here is how you make one, shown as an animated GIF image:
The 13 stars can also be arranged in a Star of David, like this:
Here is a great site, showing all kinds of rare 13-star American flags:

Here is President Trump’s schedule tomorrow:
President Trump’s schedule for 7/3/19
12:00 PM Receives intelligence briefing – Oval Office
12:45 PM Lunch with the Secretary of State – Private Dining Room
As we have seen hints over the last 12-18 hours – a lot is going on before and after those two sentences.
Yeah – methinks BIG STUFF is IN PLAY.
This was probably the most commonly used 13 star pattern:
Congress did not specify the arrangement of the stars until, I think, sometime in the early 1900s.
Fascinating to read about the early flags. It is said the Washington family coat of arms was the inspiration for our national flag’s motifs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coat_of_arms_of_the_Washington_family
“Flag Day is now observed on June 14 of each year. While scholars still argue about this, tradition holds that the new flag was first hoisted in June 1777 by the Continental Army at the Middlebrook encampment.
The first official U.S. flag flown during battle was on August 3, 1777, at Fort Schuyler (Fort Stanwix) during the Siege of Fort Stanwix. Massachusetts reinforcements brought news of the adoption by Congress of the official flag to Fort Schuyler. Soldiers cut up their shirts to make the white stripes; scarlet material to form the red was secured from red flannel petticoats of officers’ wives, while material for the blue union was secured from Capt. Abraham Swartwout’s blue cloth coat. A voucher is extant that Capt. Swartwout of Dutchess County was paid by Congress for his coat for the flag.”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flag_of_the_United_States#First_flag
Cool GA!! That’s my birthday!!!!
I knew I flew the flag for a reason that day. 😀
Um, assuming you meant June 14th, not August 3rd.

All this talk about the Betsy Ross Flag made me flash back on the movie, ‘The Betsy’.
Which was not about our Flag…but about the auto industry, and the quest to make a safe, fuel-efficient car.
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lo-wXeKNS1I&w=676&h=380%5D
.
It was a pretty good movie as I recall, made from the Harold Robbins book…and made before Hollywood went full commie.
The themes in the movie — industrial espionage, competing against imports — were as timely then as they are today.
Speaking of the automobile industry, Lee Iacocca died today (it’s still Tuesday here).
He pioneered many innovations in cars and minivans.

Glad he got to see President Trump and the beginnings of MAGA!
It was Betsy Ross’s Flag that inspired Francis Scott Key to write ‘The Star Spangled Banner’.
So this may be why Colon Kaperdickwad was making a big stink about it.
😒😠🤬
It’s like a twofer to him…two things he hates:
Our Flag and Our National Anthem.

Tomorrow is our wedding anniversary. It’s still the 2 here in the PNW, so that means the 3rd. It’s a standing joke that we always forget our wedding anniversary. My folks used to call us up and remind us, asking did you forget it’s your anniversary? And later our kids would ask us, did you forget your anniversary? There was one year we didn’t forget as we had an open house/ 40th anniversary party. The only reason I know tomorrow is our anniversary is because one daughter is bringing dinner over. She announced Sunday they were bringing dinner over on Wednesday….. and we wondered why? I thought about it and then remembered….. yup, it’s our anniversary. LOL!
Happy Anniversary BAM!
TY!
Congrats! Our 3rd is on Monday.
Aww, how cute – a toddler marriage! 🙂

still interested in what happened yesterday off the Alaska coast ?
updates and recaps here…
REPORT : American Submarine Torpedoed And Sunk Off Alaska Coast
https://halturnerradioshow.com/index.php/en/news-page/world/report-american-submarine-torpedoed-and-sunk-off-alaska-coast
July 2, 2019
with more to updates on this come tonight…
so sorry for that ….last sentence…sheesh…
edit : with more updates on this to come tonight.
🙂
there we go 😀
All your updates are belong to us.
<3
So far only Hal Turner, Voat, Reddit, etc. are reporting this. Don’t know if any of those are reliable.
Heck, we don’t know if any of the major networks are reliable any more. Even the NYT and the WaPo are promoters of false narratives.
There was a US sub sunk off Alaska during WWII.
All sources are suspect these days, except Q Tree. Folks here report and we tend to validate or piddle on faux news.
At this point, not buying into any of this. The Russia sub yesterday was reported at a Russia port in Barents Sea. West of Norway, Sweden, and Finland. No American waters in the area for Russia to get tangled with us.
I think we got took for a ride!
Fox started it with the report that VP’s plane turned around suddenly due to emergency and he was called back to DC.
Hal Turner burned me once before. He’s a purveyor of rumor and such.
Debka File is reporting it: https://www.debka.com/mivzak/urgent-consultations-in-washington-moscow-on-reported-us-russian-submarines-in-firefight/
“First reports reaching DEBKAfile’s military sources say that a US submarine intercepted a Russian nuclear sub in American waters opposite Alaska. The Russian sub escorting the nuclear submarine responded with a Balkan 2000 torpedo and scuttled the US vessel. Urgent consultations in both the White House and the Kremlin were taking place on Tuesday night. US Vice President Mike Pence called off an appearance in New Hampshire after being recalled to Washington for a conference called by President Donald Trump without explanation.
Russian President Vladimir Putin cancelled an engagement and headed for the Kremlin to confer with Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu and military chiefs, after learning that 14 submariners died in a fire that broke out on a nuclear-powered “experimental submarine in Russian waters.” This account carried in Russian media varies in most respects from the first reports reaching this site and may refer to a separate incident. They report between 14 and 17 members of an AS-12 nuclear powered submarine died of poisonous fumes caused by a fire aboard the vessel. The submarine was described as experimental and unarmed but often used in spy missions. It is unclear how many of the 25 crew survived. Local media suggest four or five are receiving treatment in Severomorsk’s military hospital for poisoning and concussion injuries. Another news account said the majority of the officers died in or on their way to hospital. These reports do not cite the cause of the fire.”
We had all kinds of ‘reports’ yesterday. Must be like thos ‘sources’ and ‘rumors’ used by the media to engineer their narratives.
The public and the families of men aboard would have been told of a US submarine being sunk.
like misdirection…to shelter the indicted maybe ?
could be…
but why post the debka link which says the same thing as the link I posted …and then criticize me for posting it ??
No criticism of you at all. Not a bit. Just trying to find out the real nitty gritty.
seems to be shrouded in mystery b/c the vessel itself is shrouded in mystery…at least the vessel with the 14 deaths…
here’s an article by the USNI regarding that incident and that vessel…
https://news.usni.org/2019/07/02/14-sailors-die-on-secretive-russian-nuclear-submarine
UPDATED : 14 Sailors Die On Secretive Russian Nuclear Sub…
July 2, 2019
initial statements coming from Moscow’s Ministry of Defense…but article goes on to describe the vessel.. the Losharik submersible … a “key asset” for the Russian Main Directorate aka GUGI…who reports to GRU …Russian Military Intel (as opposed to the Russian Navy).
the various possible capabilities and purposes are also mentioned…but…nothing’s confirmed, it’s so secretive…
but if you read some of the comments after the article, they can be enlightening.
FWIW
Russians are never honest when there is an accident in submarines or anything else. They do not want their own people to know nor their adversaries.
We are and open society and I count on it if there is one of our submarines sunk that we know about it.
FWIW, this appeared this morning. Looks like somebody on one side or the other is putting out disinformation.
Faux news. Don’t believe either government is releasing the story.
My thoughts to debunk this, also posted further up…
At this point, not buying into any of this. The Russia sub yesterday was reported at a Russia port in Barents Sea. West of Norway, Sweden, and Finland. No American waters in the area for Russia and US to get into a tangle.
Related to the Russia sub, and not any American sub.
– Historically when any Nation had a sub crisis that may entail an an undersea “rescue”, the US has deep diving submersible we can and have made available to assist in undersea rescue.
– Submersible, equipment, and support personnel lifted by C-5 or C-17 to nearby air/sea port then moved to rescue area for operations.
– While the Navy and DoD would spool up to do this. The President surely apprised and OK the operation. I would not expect the VP schedule to be impacted. He could connect by VTC / TELCON. There would be no threat to the US.
– It’s a humanitarian decision, which we would support.

hi..thanks…that’s what I was referring to when I said “more updates tonight”…
everybody has an opinion on this but NOBODY knows anything for sure… all just total speculation…there seem to have been 2 separate incidents..
until any confirmation and/or more details are made available, I’m interested in anything that might shed more light on it.
something happened.
and it’s all hush hush.
Yup .. 🤨🤚❤️

He’s assuming that AOC actually perceives what she claims to perceive and that she isn’t a lying sack of shit.
Been scouring the Intel twit feeds for anything about a “US submarine” being involved in the event with the Russian submarine…
And so far, nothing.
But this twit feed has some interesting tweets about it:
I posted this upthread, but saw this this morning. This group claims to have been around since 1984 and is not affiliated with any government. Not sure what to make of it without more information.
Thanks, DePat.
Yeah…I have seen similar remarks from other intel-watchers, such as IntelCrab:
What’s disconcerting, though, is that there has to be SOMETHING going on for this disinformation to be out there.
Not knowing, sometimes, is the hardest part.
While there may be something going on, probably is, I absolute am not buying into a US Vs Russia submarine engagement with torpedoes…
All of that is click bait and folks acting like they are in the know making noise.
If we lost a submarine, we’d know it. Factually reported.
Russia sub in Barents Sea, west of Finland.
Bogus reports of US sub sunk by Russsia in American waters. Zero American waters near Finland.
re the 14…
a secret expedition …IOW Intelligence
https://www.fontanka.ru/2019/07/02/152/
(in Russian…turn on yr translator…I tried to bookmark it translated to English.. but it might appear in Russian..)
Appreciate link. Not smart enough to figure out translator.
Secret expedition…IOW intelligence.
^^^ 100%. Every submarine operation is shrouded in secrecy…including actual classification. If not, Top Secret, SPECAT…
It’s the nature and purpose of a submarines work to operate in that realm…secrecy. Divulge little to know information about submarine operations.
The specific submarine that had a fire a day or so ago, is a specialty sub, deep diving, research (includes spying)…
My belief about this sub fire remains Russian origin – equipment failure or operator error. In time we’ll know. Me thinks.
translator box should automatically drop down upper right on yr screen after you’ve clicked on the link and are reading the article.
Thanks!
this particular had/has superior capabilites and was carrying a lot of very top level men.
And how does that disprove it?
Why is everyone thinking the same sub that burned is the one that would have sunk the US sub?
Two SEPARATE incidents, assuming that the torpedoing happened. Which I doubt, mind you, but claiming that the burning sub being near Finland disproves it is a logic fail.
EXACTLY.
Agree.
That said, if we lost a submarine we’d know it in one or more ways, me thinks.
Official announcement, unofficial leaks, and a rescue operation mounted. Rescue operation for possible survivors and recover wreckage.
So, me thinks we’d have reports of Navy deploying P-8, P-3 (including EP-3E), ships, rescue submersible prepped for airlift…
So, the loss of a USN submarine, logically discounted. My logic anyway.
Now, if the CIA has a clandestine sub of sorts, all bets are off. 100% don’t trust CIA.
Those are better arguments against the torpedoed sub story than “but the one that caught on fire was no where near US waters.”
Which I’ve seen used here at least twice today!
(Guilty, twice;-)
The fact that the Russian deep water sub ran into trouble in the middle of a giant Western ASW (anti-submarine warfare) exercise (June 22 to July 11) off the coast of Norway strikes me as significant. Russian vessels ALWAYS shadow Western forces, and particularly exercises. Russian and Western subs ALWAYS play cat and mouse.
IMO the Russian sub was out and monitoring, and ran into trouble. Came back stealthy, did their mayday in Russian waters when it wouldn’t give up the game.
Everything else is speculation of the abnormal. I’m speculating the normal.
the Russian submersible (as they’re calling it) was no ordinary sub…if you read the link I posted above…
Yes – deep water model, nuclear, and it surfaces where? Super-shallow, Russian coast – giving up NO information about where it ran into trouble or why.
I’d buy that. Might also explain why things could have been a little tense, with the dis-info floating around, and waiting to see what the Russkies’ reaction would be.
Very interesting if indeed that is what happened, and seeing how it’s being handled by the Russian press and government.
Yepper.
Regarding “cat and mouse”, our subs (US & Russian) have been known to “bump into each other in the night”…deep depths of operating waters.
Russia is cloaking it all in Secrecy. Expected. If a USN sub is involved, they’ll also cloak in secrecy if at all possible. Lost submarine information would be released. Loss of American lives, but not the submarine, may or may not be released with actual cause. Significant repairs could also yield a press release of sorts, in time. Perhaps blaming an underwater mountain. USS San Francisco (SSN 711) reportedly hit an underwater mountain years ago with huge damage to the submarine. Me thinks…speculating.
I’m not sure why people are leaping to the conclusion that the (alleged) torpedoing of a US sub near Alaska must have something to do with the Russian nuclear accident. And that showing the Russian sub was nowhere near Alaska is enough by itself to invalidate the torpedoing story.
Because I’m sure the Russians had more than one sub, and I’ll bet they STILL have more than one sub even not counting the one that caught on fire.
(I don’t know whether I believe the torpedoing story, I just know the other story clearly has nothing to do with it.)
if every asylum seeker deserves a bail hearing within so many days, then I suggest Barr start moving all of these activist judges much much closer to the border–starting with this one. Notice it does not say the asylum seekers have to prove credible fear–merely say they have credible fear…what utter nonsense!
FTA:
Judge Marsha Pechman, a Clinton judge in federal court in the commie state of Washington issued a preliminary injunction earlier this year that required asylum seekers who are given a hearing in their proceedings to be released within seven days after that hearing is granted.
The Trump administration had asked her to dismiss that ruling after Barr issued his new asylum order.
Pechman rejected that request Tuesday, ruling that the policy implemented by Barr’s order was “unconstitutional.”
She wrote, “It is the finding of this court that it is unconstitutional to deny these class members a bond hearing while they await a final determination of their asylum request.”
Bloomberg reports that the order mandates immigration judges conduct hearings for all asylum applicants to ask for release on bail within seven days of a request if they have a “credible fear.”
The judge said immigration authorities must demonstrate in these hearings why applicants aren’t being released. The proceedings must be recorded and a written transcript must be made available, according to the ruling.
That’s pretty much everyone piling into the country.
In April, the same judge ruled these [mostly fake] asylum seekers must be given bail hearings.
U.S. Attorney General William Barr immediately and formally prevented asylum seekers from requesting bail hearings. Tuesday’s ruling specifically addresses and prohibits Barr’s policy, which was set to be enforced July 15.

sorry the article is from the hill, but the worst part is the comments. they are not discussing the suitability of the law or the imposing of it–the commenters are focused on FLOTUS’s illegal status…WTBF???
FTA:
The Trump administration is considering imposing fines up to $500,000 for immigrants who have been ordered to leave the U.S., NPR reported Tuesday.
NPR obtained a batch of notices sent by the Department of Homeland Security to targeted individuals ordering them to pay fines for “failing to depart the U.S. as previously agreed.”
“It is the intention of ICE to order you pay a fine in the amount of $497,777,” U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer Lisa Hoechst wrote to Edith Espinal Moreno in a letter dated June 25, 2019, obtained by NPR from Moreno’s lawyers.
The letter comes as President Trump plans to step up ICE raids to deport illegal immigrants after the Fourth of July.
In 2017, Trump signed an executive order that promised the government would begin collection of “all fines and penalties that the Secretary is authorized under the law to assess and collect from aliens unlawfully present in the United States.”
According to the Immigration and Nationality Act, ICE can impose fines “on aliens who have been ordered removed or granted voluntary departure and fail to depart the United States.”
It states fines of no more than $500 for each day the person is in violation of this section.

I’d rather buy a t shirt than ANYTHING from Nike…and Nine Line is owned by a Veteran–another plus!!
FTA
A veteran-owned apparel company is jumping into the debate over Nike’s reported decision to pull shoes with an early American flag from shelves by offering some harsh criticism and their own shirts with the ‘Betsy Ross flag.’
Nine Line Apparel is a Savannah, Georgia-based company founded by a military veteran Tyler Meritt and his wife in 2012. In response to Nike’s decision and the debate surrounding it, Merritt says his company Nine Line Apparel has released a t-shirt featuring the flag created during the Second Continental Congress to show unity among the original 13 colonies.

BWAHAHAHAHA…you can have your stupid balloon–just not helium filled…LOL
FTA:
Code Pink can have the “Baby Trump” blimp on the National Mall for President Trump’s Lincoln Memorial speech on Thursday — just not off the ground and not where Mr. Trump can see it, the group claimed.
According to a Tuesday press release from Code Pink, the National Park Service has granted the left-wing gadflies a demonstration permit.
But it “does not allow the balloon to be filled with any helium, only air, and the permit is not in the location we requested — within line of sight of the Lincoln Memorial where President Trump will be speaking,” the group said.
Without helium, the small blimp of Mr. Trump’s head on a diapered baby’s body cannot rise off the ground.

getting out my teeny tinny violin !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Getting out my teeny tiny pin to pop it as I walk by…..POP!
I have a ‘Hat Pin’ you can use, Marica! 🙂
How about a Fourth-of-July sparkler? 🙂
Give the puncture a little staying power,
and celebrate at the same time!
With enough luck, a good sparkler will turn it into a hot air balloon for about 5 seconds!
UP, UP and…. OH WELL
Yep. And then it congeals into an amorphous blob, that doesn’t look like either a baby or VSGPDJT, but rather identical to Mad Marxist Maxine Waters… The mouth that roared…
An original idea, Cuppa – Tanks!
I’m using their helium right now to laugh in an insanely high voice!
Was that you, wolf – was wondering what that noise was – Hahahaha!
Very hard to tell my liberal helium voice from a tiny violin!
I can understand that – but, there are so many examples for comparison form snowflakes – yes?
HE-lium?
Heyyyyyyy, that’s sexist 🙂
OMG, them commies gone done start messin’ wit’ da periodical table now!
Shelium
Womanganese
BroSismineAnd, not forgetting Z54, Xe, Xenon (Greek xénon, neuter form of xénos ‘strange’) 🙂
Which calls for a song… (comments are funny, too)
It’d be a hazard if it broke away and flew off. Imagine if it blew towards Reagan Airport, or into one of its approach/departure patterns.
Correct decision by NPS.
The protesters should be given an opportunity to put it up on a stick or something like that. If nothing else, actual celebrants can moon it that way if they desire.
agreed…logical reason for declining the helium aspect, but they were also desperate to get it into the President’s line of sight and they weren’t given that choice of location…lol…
Yep. I think the “protestors” can stick it 🙂

For those interested in this type of thing, the story about finding the bones of St. Peter is a fascinating one (there is a great book by that name, well worth reading). Like all of these types of things, there is interpretation involved, but the facts are very interesting as are the implications, if true.
The story above is about the Catholics giving the bones to the Orthodox, also an interesting event.
Effing heretic. As if the eastern church isn’t still in schism.
ARGH!
In the larger scheme of things, I know this is not really worth getting hyped up over, but all the little heretical acts are piling up. And because the governments have all become representative bodies rather than the monarchies of the past when kings could put a check on the Church, (hat tip to a Michael Voris video) we’re dealing with wolves in sheeps’ clothing.
Please, Lord, deliver us from Francis. He’s making a big mess.
Don’t know if anyone saw or posted this, but….

FBI investigating leak of top-secret Air Force intelligence
The FBI is investigating an Air Force contractor who admitted to printing out and taking home more than 1,000 pages of classified documents marked “top secret,” according to a search warrant application filed in the Southern District of Ohio.
The warrant, first reported about by Forbes, says that the documents were initially discovered in a search of the home of Izaak Vincent Kemp, a contractor at the U.S. Air Force National Air and Space Intelligence Center (NASIC) at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio.
“…first reported about by Forbes”
__________
Since Forbes is owned by ChiComs now, I’m gonna give that story the side-eye for now.
Maybe this guy, Kemp, was set up?
Someone may be trying to cover their tracks…and they needed a patsy.
Could be. At this point, anything is possible.
So now we see how the left plans to defeat America First policy. Smear the President, make up phony stories, and attack the Judeo-Christian culture by infiltrating their point of view into consumer product companies.
They are attacking our baseline belief systems and trying to erode our confidence and loyalty to them. This is the final frontier in their efforts that began in the 60s.
Fight back. Abandon consumer products that do not support us.
Oh and no more oreos. Sleazebag company.
Yikes…and Oreos are Made In Mexico too!
So I was already boycotting them.
😁
Good morning, NYGuy.
🙋 *waves*
It’s good to see you!
Hey wheatie. Hope all is well.
Happy (almost) Fourth of July NYGuy!!

Thank you Pat. I am spending the 4th in Atlantic City with my son. Watching fireworks over the water.
But, wait, there’s more:
Nutter Butter is new to Twitter. No doubt, we’ll see more of the same in time:

good to see you churchmouse!!
Thank you, Pat! Good to be back after a busy weekend.
doesn’t NCTE (forget what the acronym stands for) have something to do with teachers–the idiots who brought us common core?
Take your pick, pat…anyway you look at it – the last letter stands for ‘Education’ – Yes?
https://www.allacronyms.com/NCTE
It stands for “Endoctrination”
They don’t much care about the spelling, after all.
You just could not hep yourself – could you, Steve?
Nope. 😀

ME LIKEY!
MOAR DEPORTATIONS!!!!
(Almost as good as a shutdown.)
Could that be why the Antifa “shake fest” is planned for the 6th???
This is not the first time Tanks have been seen in DC:
https://twitter.com/TobyPeters20/status/1146386900112027651
Most of those aren’t tanks, but Bradleys…(this includes the one Toby Peters says was a tank crossing the Potomac) though there was at least one Abrams in Fred Wellman’s pic.
Iacocca was born in Allentown PA and he owned the Yocco Hot Dog places…awesome hotdogs…from what i remember as a kid…RIP
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2019/07/02/lee-iacocca-auto-industry-legend-dies-94-chrysler-ford/1635872001/
Great man. He donated heavily to Lehigh Univ. Gunner considered going there and Iacocca’s name is everywhere. They were the best of American biz men.
in my day LU was lovely and very small townish…then it all changed–scarier and scarier neighborhoods not far from campus…
but i forgot Iacocca is from PA–so now when someone asks I can totally forget Biden is also from PA…lol
To the left it’s ok to beat people over the head as long as it’s done in love and not hate.
Because what matters to the left is intentions, not outcomes
Rimshot 😉
Even worse, only THE LEFT gets granted that exemption. They get to DENY or INSINUATE our intentions – whichever is the most Orwellian.
The Left is all about sincere intentions.
Want to blow the mind of a not-so-far-out-that-you’d-like-to-punch-him “liberal”? The next time you get into an argument with him, say something like “I see you’re sincere but…” (likely continuation: “what you’re saying is bullshit because…”)
He won’t understand why you’re continuing to argue with him. As far as he is concerned, you’ve conceded the argument because the sincerity is what matters. And he is incapable of imagining that YOU sincerely believe what you do, politically. He’s been taught his entire adult life that the only reason anyone would be a conservative is out of cynical self interest at other peoples’ expense, or the conservative is bought off. Thus the only people who could possibly sincerely believe what they espouse are people on the Left, even including those more radical than he is, but never, under any circumstances including anyone to the right of center politically.
m’kay I will try that…I can fake sincerity with the best of them! 😀

I can’t lose my belief that Justice Roberts is a compromised Jurist, and for that reason he should step down.
Re: The Census question. SCOTUS’ ruling on the Court not being involved in state gerrymandering – because it’s “political” – he taps the political button by siding with the Leftist ideologue judges on the censorship question.
Demanding to know “intent” is a political subjective move – SCOTUS has no business being concerned about “intent” for asking a perfectly legitimate, Constitutional (which they agreed on 5-4) question on a government form.
SCOTUS made the question Political. SCOTUS job is to determine Constitutionality, not bureaucratic pablum.
I wonder what POTUS knows about Justice Roberts…
He is. We do not have a majority in the Supreme Court. Someone is telling Roberts how to vote. It tells me the left is not done attacking POTUS via circuit courts. Unfortunately, the 9th circuit still has too many whacko judges seated there.
I know. 🙁 Wish there was some way of forcing Roberts out, but then there is the adage of being careful what you wish for.
I think Roberts is going to be surprised that “History” is going to consider “his” court tainted.
Not forced out, lady – FREED – from the blackmailers – imho – heard or read something to this effect – wish I could recall where – then – there is the prophecy – of 5 – IOW – the entire court could be shaken!
Where’s Ruthie? When are they going to roll her out of the deep freeze?
That would be the happiest solution.
Of course, we can just wait for another leftist to die or retire, too.
Not like that – much worse, Steve – under investigation or scrutiny would be embarrassing – there is more to the court than meets the eye, Steve – imho – so many possibilities – but, we have to wait and see what is uncovered – nobody is squeaky clean – you know –
True that. Alas.
Could be one of those sealed indictments has his name on it…
Wouldn’t that be nice. It’s possible that somewhere in all the data being analysed – AG Barr – there might be footprints leading to SCOTUS.
IIRC, the Chief Justice of SCOTUS, in this case, John Roberts, is ultimately responsible for the FISA/FISC Court….
Which means that any improprieties occurring on his watch will have to be answered for…
I wonder what POTUS knows about orders to the troops from the vote thiefs.
This morning, it occurred to me that there are other questions on the census that can work to achieve the same goal. After all, a vote (or census figures) is determined by the people doing the counting.
Well, I’m happy to see that casts the FNC story that aggravated me yesterday into doubt!
As I recall, SCOTUS indicated a different argument on our part could succeed where this one had failed.
When the court reconvenes in September, Steve – it will be monumental!
the left is spinning the glorious “show of a lifetime” as POTUS making it more about himself than the country…losers!

Not of This World
JULY 03, 2019
2 Timothy 3:1-5
1 But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. 2 For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, 3 unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, 4 treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these.
“What is going on in the world?” You’ve probably heard people say this. And as Christians, we sometimes wonder how we are to live in a culture that seems to be on a downhill trajectory ethically. Since Jesus said of His disciples, “They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world” (John 17:16), we can certainly conclude that our lives should look different from unbelievers’ lives.
The darker things become, the more pronounced should be the contrast between our way of life and the world’s. And one of the most obvious differences should be in the area of love. In 2 Timothy 3:1-5, Paul warned that in the last days (a period just before Jesus’ return) mankind would be lovers of self, money, and pleasure rather than of God and others. Such misplaced affection results in arrogance, ungratefulness, unholiness, and all the other tragic descriptions found in this passage. When love becomes distorted, these vices inevitably follow. And today we see the evidence of this all around us, don’t we?
Even the technology that makes life easier is drawing us apart. Face-to-face conversations and phone calls are increasingly being replaced with emails and texts. Everywhere we turn, eyes are looking down at phones rather than seeing the people right in front of them.
The good news is that we can make a difference by intentionally living and loving differently from the world around us. As the Lord told us in Matthew 22:37-40,
37 And He said to him, `YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.’ 38 This is the great and foremost commandment. 39 The second is like it, `YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.’ 40 On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets.” the way to fight the lovelessness all around us is by loving God and our neighbors.
