This FAKE NEWS FINALLY FALLING BEFORE TRUTH 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 / KAG! / KMAG world (KMAG being a bit of both MAGA and KAG!).
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.
SAY IT LOUD, AND SAY IT PROUD!
“MR. PRESIDENT – 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
Also remember Wheatie’s Rules:
- No food fights.
- No running with scissors.
- If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.
Me and newly minted Treasury Spox Monica Crowley go back, in terms of my defending her from unhinged liberal attacks. She’s been a favorite of mine for YEARS.
OK – I will ADMIT that there was a time when I could not tell her from the equally awesome Kellyanne Conway, unless her name was in the chyron at the bottom of the picture from Fox News. But that was ALL my laziness. Whatever. “THAT BLONDE CHICK WHO TAKES DOWN LIBERALS”. Maybe they really were one person back then. Who knows?
ANYWAY – flash forward to TODAY….
The WOLF is one happy camper….
OH, I am dangerously close to calling this TOO MUCH WINNING.
Allow me to explain.
Flash back to NOVEMBER 26, 2016.
President Trump is just DAYS AWAY from being cheated by TREASON-BOY CLAPPER and his little scheme to give raw NSA data to Deep State. The BOGUS FISA has just been approved a little over a month earlier. The CHEATING of Trump – the FRAMING of Trump – is real and insidious, and we don’t even KNOW IT. Meanwhile, the FAKE NEWS is screaming FAKE NEWS about “Muh Russia”.
But on the POSITIVE side, people are actually talking about the very SMART and well-known Monica Crowley taking a job in the Trump administration. HOW AWESOME would THAT be?
LINK: https://truthfeed.com/trump-considers-fox-news-host-for-press-secretary/37951/
And then KFILE happens.
https://money.cnn.com/interactive/news/kfile-monica-crowley-dissertation-plagiarism/
Yes – the KID-DOXXING CREEP from CNN manages to knock Monica out of contention, as she drops out of consideration IMMEDIATELY, so as not to further harm the already battered “baby” Trump administration.
This was a real shame to me, because – ironically – I have always been very talented at AVOIDING plagiarism charges, due to an extraordinary ability to put things into my own words, and to reassemble thoughts into what appear to most of my fellow humans to be “original thinking”. The problem?
IT’S ALL A HUGE LIE.
Truly original thinking is actually quite rare. Almost all human thought is unoriginal, if not plagiarized. It is repeated, it is tweaked and fluffed, it is borrowed, it is melted and recast, but it is NOT – by any means – “original”, in any way, shape or form.
In my opinion, the writing that our society regards as “unplagiarized” and the writing that it regards as “plagiarized” are disturbingly similar, except for a kind of “mixmaster effect” which people use to move ideas around, using simple algorithms. The idea that skill in using these algorithms is “original thinking” is absolute BULLSHIT, pardon my use of cliche plagiarism.
The fact that Monica was cheated out of Press Secretary was bad enough if her writing had simply been careless enough to not pay homage to the idiot taboos of our primitive, linear, vocal-based communications. But then it got worse.
It was shown that KFILE – the execrable child-doxxer – had CHEATED in taking out Monica.
And I quote….
In 2017, the Media Equalizer reported that Kaczynski had deliberately and recklessly removed 39 of her footnotes from the dissertation to make it appear she hadn’t cited her work. He had removed both the number and the body of each footnote containing each full citation not once, not twice, not 10 times, but 39 times.
Brian Maloney, Media Equalizer blog
Here are a few articles to get you started:
Now, even before these articles came out, when the first academic response noted that KFILE had been less than honest in his analysis, I was on Twitter bemoaning the fact that Monica had truly been lost from Team Trump unfairly, and I hoped – DESPERATELY HOPED – that by some SLIM CHANCE she would still be around for Trump’s second term.
Unfortunately, it was still too soon for justice. The CHEATER KFILE, like all leftists, realized that the EARLY HIT WINS, even if it’s false. The meme of plagiarism was still floating strong, and the TRUTH was being ignored by the Soviet Fake News, as usual.
Well, time eventually wounds all heels.
KFile doxxed a kid on reddit for a MEME that Trump retweeted. Yes. I kid you not. And even attempted some weird kind of political blackmail. ON A KID.
https://www.cnn.com/2017/07/04/politics/kfile-reddit-user-trump-tweet/index.html
THAT was when KFILE committed political suicide, and finally “liberated” Monica, in my opinion. The fact that KFILE had taken her down was now a BADGE OF HONOR. His similar attacks on Sheriff Clarke and others were ALL suspect. All his old VICTIMS were elevated.
So when RUMORS of an upcoming Monica appointment in the Trump administration hit just this year, the SOVIET FAKE NEWS was still stuck on “plagiarism”, but nobody cared. We knew by then that the WHOLE DAMN THING was “KFILE” at best. A sad testament to what the left had done to America, to keep us blind for DECADES.
But none of it mattered.
After “Muh Russia”, “Muh Plagiarism” was not even worth an EYE-ROLL.
And here we are now.
I think our VSG said it best. He’s one of the very few who REALLY gets information deeply.
Just amazing, our VSGPOTUS is!
Have a great day, and as my friend Flep reminded us, THE TRUTH SETS US FREE!

Been waiting for this thread! Great news about Monica Crowley.
I respect, greatly respect, our President for his loyalty to those who serve him. He fights for them!
“I cannot spare this man. He fights.”

The Truth will set you free!
AMEN!!!
Amen
Amen
He is undoubtedly one of the greatest of our presidents. We are very fortunate to have had the privilege of voting for him. I can’t wait to do it again. 😄
Oh, and BTW…
Ha! Excellent, michael…love it. You could add, “and never will be” just to make us all extra happy.
The Truth – someday the left must agree!!!
Me thinks, the honest folks on the left, know, have realized hildabeast would have been a horrible President.
For those afflicted with TDS:
Denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance.
or….
“baadd” for short 😉

…. bwahahahahaha … 😬🤚‼️ … bwahahahahaha
Let me add this source for the graphic and quote, because the ARTICLE ABOUT TRUMP that they’re used to headline is actually very interesting, and is worth a read.
https://conservativefiringline.com/i-cannot-spare-this-man-he-fights-abraham-lincoln/
Good article
GREAT read.
Hope folks take the time to read article linked above. ^^^
I’m coming back to it … I need to get dinner ready …
As am I. I have such a soft spot for Monica and am glad that she’s being given a second chance. The way the slimy media tried to destroy her reputation was sheer evil >:(.
Totally agreed. “JOURNTIFA” had a plan to take people out of the Trump administration and scare off the rest – sheer evil – and Monica was the first victim.
Glad she never seemed to let the Creamer groupies get her down. She’s a happy warrior.
I absolutely love Dr. Crowley. So happy for this appointment. She is a happy warrior for our President.
Amen! That is so true – a happy warrior, and she has always been one. And SO expressive – she could win an argument just by the FACE she would make after hearing the other side!
NOW – this is IMPORTANT. She’s not just a pretty face. I went off looking for an “expressive face image”, and instead, I found this video of her talking to Sean Hannity, after she recovered from the hit job, and finally decided to talk about it.
What she says starting at 1:50 in the video is truly prophetic. She spotted it. The CONSPIRACY to not just stop Trump, but to put him in JAIL. And what Sean says is extremely prophetic as well. They were NOT overstating it. We know now just how bad it was.
How we going to tell her from KAC? They twins
LOL! See? I wasn’t joking!
AND how bad it is for President Trump and massive threat to Ameriac!
Video really needs to be seen. Excellent companion to Wolf linked article a few posts above. Very complimentary to each other – article / video. 100% spot on. Succinctly highlights why President Trump is the right guy as our president, AND why the incessant war on everything Trump by snowflakes, D-Rats, RepubliCONS, MCM, corrupt IC and evil embedded in deep state.
IF one reads and watches nothing else today, reading the article at the link and listening to the video 100% worth one’s time today.
Yes – I think Monica Crowley’s appointment after being DRIVEN from the administration by JOURNTIFA, and how this proves that TRUMP is the FIGHTER WE NEED – a man who doesn’t back down – who doesn’t submit to the BLACKMAIL and LIES of the leftist “press” – that is a huge lesson for us.
RIGHT compromising repeatedly with WRONG is what is WRONG.
Not only is fight back a huge lesson for us, it is massively important for morale to know that if you get in the fight, the boss has your back.
… JOURNTIFA …. it’s a great word and bears repeating .. 🤨🤚‼️🇺🇸‼️
She’s very pretty … 😍👍❤️‼️🤗❤️
Thank you, Wolfie – Monica is the complete package, beauty, serious brainpower, and a wonderful ability to communicate clearly. Thanks for the link.
I’ve always like Monica Crowley.
The first time I saw her…was on an early Bill O’Reilly show, where she was telling about the Biography of Richard Nixon that she had done.
She met with Nixon for hours and hours, in working on that book.
.
Monica’s sister, poor thing, is married to Alan Colmes…the guy who used to have a show with Hannity.
😬
.
Monica Crowley is smart, well-spoken and very effective.
She’s also gorgeous.
That’s why the Dems hate her so much.
Wheatie – you know Colmes is dead, right?
He died?
No…I did not know that!
😬☹️
Thanks, O’wiser.
I’m torn between wishing Alan was still here to maybe talk the libs back into sanity, and worrying that he would be one of the ones who could not make it back. In the end, I just have to trust God on the way things are.
Little known factoids:
Alan Colmes was well-liked by ALL he came in contact with. He was simply a nice warm liberal who honed his lib schtick with Pat Buchanan on CNN (back when it was respectable).
Monica’s sister is her identical twin. So when Monica appeared with Alan on FoxNews, they seated them side by side so that Alan wouldn’t have to look at his “wife” while debating. Monica would sometimes turn to look at Alan but he never turned to look at her. I figure she sounded just like his wife so hearing Monica was probably all he could take without stumbling.
Brain misfire. Should be Sean Hannity, not Pat Buchanan. And I’m probably wrong about CNN, too. Most likely it was Fox News.
I can’t blame this on my keyboard. But if I could …
It’s normal to conflate memories, overlay one with another….. absolutely normal, just being human.
Remember, eyewitnesses are the least reliable witnesses, according to law enforcement.
.. it’s the keyboard .. absolutely .. 🤨👍❤️
There’s always “sausage squisher” (Wurst Press) to blame it on 🙂
(goodness knows, they goof everything else up, especially if the word PR0VERBS is involved)…
Pgroup,
They’re not twins…Monica is two years older than her sister.
Ah ha! See above. KAC is her twin
Yup. Died Feb. 23, 2017 of lymphoma. Monica and Sean talked about losing him on Sean’s show. They were both sincerely upset. Very kind. I am sure Monica was upset for her sister. He was 66.
Thanks, O’wiser.
I missed that entirely, when it happened.
No Problem – glad to inform!

What a beautiful, gracious, compassionate, kind, gentle and loving First Lady we have!
Melania
We love the haute couture you wear
And sunlight shining in your hair
The look of kindness in your face
Your timeless poise and easy grace
We love to see you close, firsthand
The way you gently place your hand
The way you smile when with a child
You have our nation so beguiled
To have heard you say “Let us pray”
To see your graciousness each day
That you wept at “How Great Thou Art”
Reveals your soul, your loving heart.
Humility, clear, upon your face
And joy, too, perfectly in place
A reverent peace, calm, yet awed
Walking humbly with our God
The good you see, the good you do
Full of love and kindness, too
Your full heart overflows on all
A gentle, soothing waterfall
Our First Lady, one of a kind
Down to earth and yet, refined
Our brightest star in darkest night
Shining brilliant in our sight
May all your days with us be
Days of precious memories
And may you be blest in every way
In the future, in all your days
Beautiful, Carl.
😃👍 Thank you!
oh, carl, you’re such a dear.
Beautiful poem, beautiful subject, beautiful poet’s beautiful heart!!!!!
Pres Trump called in and spoke to Hannity on his Thursday evening show:
[youtube
So this is a screenshot from the upcoming Pepe game that Q mentioned. I know that none of this is a laughing matter, but this is brilliant.
Based on these pics if you haven’t seen them before:
There’s a reason that Epstein is, once again, in the news.
BTW –
Tweets by Incarnated_ET
– who was investigating all this Epstein stuff has been suspended by Twitter.
Call me whatever you want but that ain’t funny. Or brilliant.
TOO Ghoulish to call a game.
This Epstein business hits me personally for many reasons.
The lack of humanity, the hardness of their hearts, the intensity of their selfish desire for gratification, sense of entitlement to use other people, desire for power and control and sense of superiority over people who are young, powerless, detachment and disregard for human life….it is horrifying, appalling.
Becoming monsters starts early in life….
I agree with you. Some people find relief from the unrelenting evil by laughing at it. Often the young do, which many autists are. I can’t be angry at them. They have been on the digital frontlines and have probably seen enough to cause me to weep for a lifetime.
We can mock, but we MUST find the courage of our convictions, the righteous indignation/outrage, integrity belief in justice to indict, prosecute, punish this and all evil.
Mocking isn’t enough!
100% correct. There is no peace without justice, and no justice without judgment.
Great statement of fact.
It’s a Jewish saying…the rabbis, I think.
Brings to mind the opening verses of Judges.
Very interesting to research this quote. Variations of this have been used by EVERYBODY – from Martin Luther King, Jr. to Pope John Paul II to Farrakhan! Some have substituted forgiveness for judgment, others substitute truth, still others substitute law, and all of them may add a third clause. A DuckDuckGo search brings up Isaiah 59:8 as one of the first links, but it’s clearly not exact.
Hmm. I’ll go with Isaiah – he’s my favorite prophet.
Thanks for looking that up. I’m going to do the same. Those are good words to ponder.
Sometimes – forgiveness is the final step – the only closure.
Laughing at their idiotic beliefs and the sense of power it gives them upsets them a hell of a lot more then horror or outrage.
Good point! We also must let them know we think they are dirty, disgusting, despicable beyond words.
Ridicule hurts them the most. Even animals resent being laughed at
Like the “black lash” Bette Midler is getting…richly deserved. The 3 “D” words are very fitting for this lunatic. At this point, when someone is so very deranged I wonder what they are hiding in their background that makes them so afraid.
And Judge Napolitano is definitely on my radar list in that regard! Joe Scarborough?
You think BM is one of those YBT addicts or has been to the island?
Honestly can’t decide, GA/FL, but there used to be a glimmer of goodness in Bette who did a lot of fund-raising for special projects in NYC. So, she of ALL people is aware of the good the Trump family has also accomplished for the city they all love. So, for her to make a fool of herself, to be so bitter, use such vile, hateful language directed to Trump supporters as much as POTUS….well, that’s a gigantic red flag for me. Rational people do not think or behave like this.
Well, she could have been trapped or nibbled her way into drugs, bad deeds, etc. Fame and celebrity seem to be poison for some people.
Google the Kipper Kids. One of them is her husband.
The Kipper Kids are strange.
But we must fight their Satanic beliefs and projections, correct them, pray for them to be turned, and let GOD correct them. Either in this world or the next.
For they are doing the work of Satan. And that is wrong, on all levels.
It is NOT a game. I know that. We have a friend who was part of a Satanic cult. And that has followed her through a name change (effectively a “witness protection program”, a residence change, and all manner of other obfuscations.
Read Ephesians 6:10-18. THIS is what she (and we all) are fighting. They didn’t find her on the “earthly plane”, they found her on the “spiritual plane”. And those who don’t believe in that are merely fooling themselves.
I went to Uni with a “black witch” and a “white witch” (not by intent, mind you!). The COULD NOT be in the same room at the same time. You could feel it. It was like a freezing cold wind, with the aroma of sewage. And this was downtown Los Angeles, and it was warm. And it didn’t stink outside of sewage, in case anyone is wondering. This was 45 or so years ago, no “campers” on the sidewalks then…
Unfortunately (for them) the entire Dorm had a REQUIRED meeting, which they had to attend, or basically find another residence.
All hell broke loose, and they were both asked to leave.
Same floor. Same dorm. Different rooms. NEVER together. And folks said, “yeah, right, bullshit”.
So did I. Until I was in that room.
Sorry, that crap is REAL. And it is what we are FIGHTING, with the DEMONcRATs, the Moslems, and the “Jihad Squad” (but I repeat myslf). And we need GOD’S forgiveness, help, guidance, and strength to win this battle. Ephesians 6:10-18. Put on the Armour of GOD.
Maybe the mocking will be an effective wake-up weapon.
However – There are a lot of horrible games the young people play that may dull their sensibilities to violence and dehumanize them.
That is true, too. Designed to desensitize. Works both ways…no mercy for the perps.
Grandma, what demonic creature is the person in the photo covered in red paint supposed to be?
Good question.
lucifer?
Looks to me like Podesta – JMO.
But what is he dressed up to be?
The devil personified!
That’s Podesta, … ValJar is the one painted blue …. evil ….
That is John Podesta. The green creature is ValJar. At least that is what is being said.
Have a look at the articles at http://www.crossroad.to (site of Berrit Kjos, who wrote “Brave New Schools” as well as many other informative and cautionary books)). Her site is a goldmine of information on the cultural changes being fomented upon us…
http://www.invisibleserfscollar.com and “The Deliberate Duming Down of America” by Charlotte Iserbyt are also well worth visiting and/or reading (OK, both 🙂 )…
Super – thanks again!!
Oops. Dumbing Down (looks like they got me 🙂 )…
Romans 1:18-32
The 14 and the fish and Horus have a special meaning (in partiuclar as what the fish consumed). There’s an article on it in Vigilant Citizen, with the explanation at the bottom of the picture, in a shaded grey box…
The things behind their beliefs (ancient mystery religions) are no joking matter, especially those being sacrificed…
I am feeling much more confident about the appointment of Ms. Crowley than before when all I knew is that she came from Fox. Thanks to the team, and Wolf in particular, for the edumication. [And *sigh* for how Fox has fallen…..]
YW! 😀
And YES……
edumication
^^^ First and last stop daily is Q Tree. Edumication, information, news, analysis, thoughts and theories. AND free speech!
Irreplaceable, Q Tree is, me thinks;-)
Methinks, too. 😄
Thank you for the post wolf. I remember someone for press secretary removed from consideration, but I didn’t make the connection that it was Monica. I too am glad she’s been given a second chance in the Trump administration.
As we pass the 2.5 year mark of PDJTs first term it’s important that we applaud all the accomplishments that have been made, in the face of extreme TDS. All these things they’ve done, to hinder progress, that would’ve worked on any other politician……are starting to come back to haunt them. Hmmmm….didn’t someone post something about a Boomerang the other day?
😉 Yes, somebody did!!!
Maybe in a year or so, Monica may be offered Press Secretary. Obviously qualified. President Trump stands by good people. Added benefit, lefty heads sploding;-)
On a completely different subject, I decided to address my overflowing stack of proposed kernel updates a bit earlier this evening. Linux, along with a bunch of other UNIX derivates, treats the kernel as just another program — in fact, compiling your own kernel has historically been a UNIX rite of passage. I had been running one from a while ago — 4.15 (the kernel that was packaged with Ubuntu 18.04). The current version is 5.2.2 — the current version used in Debian (release) is 4.19.37; the current version used in Ubuntu (which is otherwise based on Debian) is 5.0.0; the current version in Ubuntu’s long-term support (LTS) version is 4.15.
The kernel handler that is built into the Mint Update tool is a thing of beauty. It allows you to choose between all the kernels that have been tested and don’t break the Mint distro. It is just wonderful.
My situation is further complicated in that I have disk partitioning that looks like encrypted partitions — the boot partition (with grub and kernels) is very small and is mounted into the normal filesystem later in the boot process. I only have room for two kernels.
To update a kernel, I have to delete the old one before I install a new one. And I have to avoid upgrading to metapackages like the plague because they’ll fill my disk and crash the upgrade.
Anyway, uname -a says I’m now running 5.0.0 . Makes me feel like disco dancing.
And for those who missed the reference — Ubuntu’s current version is 19.04 “disco”, released in April of this year — https://www.distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=ubuntu.
That’s where Linux shines — everything can be configured, including how up-to-date you are depending on security or compatibility.
Huh?
Glazed over eyes, also saying, huh?
… 🧐🤚 … me too ozzy … I’m like 😳
Google translate says I got nothing here
Oh .. 😮🤚 … don’t touch the google
💥💥BOOM💥💥
You can rely on Microsoft or Apple or Google to make all the administrative decisions for you (Windows, iOS, and Android), or you can make the decisions yourself…..but, then, you’ll have to have a basic understanding of what decisions are being made. When you start developing this basic understanding, you start also understanding that Microsoft and Apple and Google are frequently making decisions against your interests and in furtherance of their own — and passing this off as “convenience” and “ease-of-use”.
Linux is a great platform for taking control of these decisions because of a number of factors — it’s simple (the original Linux kernel was written by a 21-year-old Computer Science student in Finland in 1991); it’s wide (everyone who has done anything with computers in the last 20 years has at least nodded toward Linux); and it’s deep (all the bleeding-edge technologies begin under Linux — this includes virtual machines, cloud services, ASLR, and too many others to mention).
But, I confess, simple shoutouts may easily sound like gibberish to those not involved in that world.
I could go through line-by- line and concept-by-concept and ‘splain it to you [“Ask cthulhu what time it is, and he’ll tell you how to build a clock.” — former boss]…..but that would probably be best done elsewhere and elsewhen. Just know that I’d be glad to do so.
And my post here was celebrating that my meager technical abilities and limited resources were able to perform an onerous and complicated task without bricking my system for days — in fact, allowing me to celebrate my victory in a rush of adrenaline just about an hour later.
Admire you. My brother is Aspergers and heavily involved in computers. Unfortunately he lives halfway across the country . Also my nephew who has done masters at college in computering so they are useless to me. I’ve just picked stuff up as I go along and I am aware that Apple Microsoft google etc are not my friends
Working with operating systems is a little like pounding your head against a wall. It feels so good when you stop.
… LOL … wear a padded helmet ⛑ .. 😃🤚❤️
Nothing like (remotely) recovering a down system, by hand, with a high manager from the customer ranting that they’re losing 10 million dollars per second(!) while they’re down. And chewing on your teeth not being able to say if they hadn’t cut corners, cheaped out on hardware maintenance, not made timely (or proper) backups (all of which would have cost less than a few seconds’ worth of downtime), they wouldn’t have been in that mess…
Patching together system tables in order to get it into a stable-enough state to back it up, while the CE is enroute with spares and a few redundant parts…
Or getting a call from a terrified user, just about to add a new device to his system, which he hadn’t rebooted in almost 10 (yes TEN) years. Walking him through cutting a “coldload” tape, printing out the configuration twice (and faxing it to me: this was in the days before Al Gore invented the internet), and then rebooting the system successfully. Another case of “they should have rebooted more often”, but the box (MPE) never crashed, so they never needed to reboot…. Ahh, those were the days…
Windoze 1 0, on the other hand… need an airbag on that wall 🙂
Great stories!
I think it’s when you finally get it to do what you knew it was capable of doing, after several hours of cajoling it to behave.
It’s not that you stop striving, it’s that you have accomplished something that Microsoft, Apple, or Google would never let you try.
Exactly. That’s where your hope of the sweet “thrill of victory” that keeps you pounding your head on the wall.
I know a LOT of online guides recommend configuring a /boot partition. There is some logic behind it, and it’s good for virtual machines and cloud instances.
The main reason is that if the root file system fills up, the system won’t boot, and you have to recover from media or an alternate boot method.
However what I’ve found in practice is that /boot is often too small and fills up due to kernel updates, which puts us back as square one, having to clean out /boot as well. Once in a while that’s fine, but when you start having several dozen machines to clean out at once it gets to be a monotonous chore.
To me partitioning /boot is an old solution to the problem, a holdover from when PC’s couldn’t boot a kernel beyond where the BIOS address space could reach. The smarter thing to do is to configure the partitions so that the root file system isn’t likely to fill up. Putting /var and /home on a separate partition if not a separate volume, for instance. Special applications in /opt can be the same.
The same is true of other operating systems. Nothing like good housekeeping, good documentation, good procedures, and good maintenance…
“maintenance” … so many chores, so little time …
Reminds me of a cartoon from long ago, probably from Boys’ Life (the scouting magazine), picturing an outhouse in the woods, on a hill, door closed, with a roll of toilet paper rolling down the hill. The caption underneath was:
“You aren’t finished until the paperwork is done”…
Pity the poor sad sack in the kaibo… (then again, that’s what leaves are for 🙂 )…
Yup, you know exactly what I’m talking about — my /boot partition can hold only two kernels. When I update, I have to delete all of the ones older than the one I’m using, install the new one, sacrifice a couple of Deep Ones to Dagon, and reboot. If it doesn’t work, I have *one* possible reversion. I can understand the reasoning behind it and having a potentially unusable system….but, in this day and age, I would think that overflowing a 512G disk means you buy a 1T disk, mount both on a completely different system, then move the partitions over…..
We’ve become so spoiled. I mean, I think nothing of hanging a 2T disk off of a $35 Raspberry Pi on a Gigabit network.
For those of you with better tools than I have, i’m Trying to find bio details about John P. Carlin… Specifically, where he was born and the name of his parents.
Any info appreciated!
John Philip Carlin born 1974 to Roy H. & Patricia Carlin. Roy is an attorney in NYC. John was most likely born in NYC but cannot be positive. Wife Sarah Newman. Hope this helps. Sorry can’t be more specific.
Thanks…all I needed. Very appreciated, BB.
Remember the “Evergreen” tweet from CIA ASSET / AGENT Jake Tapper?
There is an Epstein / CIA meaning for that name, too – in this article that I tweeted.
The Mockingbird is also printing serious scary slime articles about PDJT – https://mockingbirdpaper.com/search/node/Epstein
I think it’s very clear that this site just collects “all the dirt”, real or not. Thus, we really can’t be binary about their data as a whole – “it’s all right, or it’s all wrong” – that’s how they keep us away from the truth. We just have to dig in fearlessly and sort out the good, the bad, and the ugly which may be either.
Epstein had a really good scam going, in that by inviting all these respectable people to his parties filled with glitterati, the Fake News was in a position to slime everybody by association, real or not. The MEDIA then held power over everybody – not the TRUTH.
‘Slime everybody’ by association seems to be the name of the game. I find myself doing it too.
May we all keep our faces turned up to Heaven,
inviting the One who loves us to fill us with all He has for us today.
Favorite Quote from Gerald Emery article “He Fights” at Conservative Firing Line:
“In what could best be described as pure genius, President Trump is using the left’s own Saul Alinsky tactics against them, and is doing so quite successfully.”

reprints Evan Sayet’s great original “He Fights” article – https://townhall.com/columnists/evansayet/2017/07/13/he-fights-n2354580
Both are great!!!
Gotta post this quote from the Sayet article:
“With Donald Trump, this all has come to an end. Donald Trump is America’s first wartime president in the Culture War.
During wartime, things like “dignity” and “collegiality” simply aren’t the most essential qualities one looks for in their warriors. Ulysses Grant was a drunk whose behavior in peacetime might well have seen him drummed out of the Army for conduct unbecoming. Had Abraham Lincoln applied the peacetime rules of propriety and booted Grant, the Democrats might well still be holding their slaves today. Lincoln rightly recognized that, “I cannot spare this man. He fights.”
General George Patton was a vulgar-talking, son-of-a-bitch. In peacetime, this might have seen him stripped of rank. But, had Franklin Roosevelt applied the normal rules of decorum, then Hitler and the Socialists would barely be five decades into their thousand-year Reich.
Trump is fighting. And what’s particularly delicious is that, like Patton standing over the battlefield as his tanks obliterated Rommel’s, he’s shouting, “You magnificent bastards, I read your book!” That is just the icing on the cake, but it’s wonderful to see that not only is Trump fighting, he’s defeating the Left using their own tactics.”
Great stuff!!! 😀
I have that quote from Lincoln on my FB page, as well as the WWG1WGA Bell!
YOU GO, NF!!! I bet your family/friends would say of you, “She fights!” – for what she believes in – for what is right – she defends the truth and her loved ones – esp. Piper!
You got that right! I am still trying to figure out how to take out that “pain doctor” who enabled my daughter and kept her on Fentanyl! Just pisses me off no end – ALL of the doctors in Norfolk know about him, yet NO-ONE does anything about it!!!! Grrrrr….
I bet you are totally furious.
Somebody wrote a quote on QTH today that applies to him. I’ll try to find it for you.
TY – oh, yea – that is a BIG part of why I am having such a difficult time coming to terms with my daughter’s death. There is plenty of blame to go around and I have literally gone thru hell facing up to my part of it – I find it impossible to forgive myself. It is so infuriating to see someone like that doctor, who has such influence over so very many people, just go merrily on his way.
On a side note, he and his wife own 2 Huskies that they let run wherever they want to go. They are ok by themselves but when another dog joined them, they all ganged up on another small dog and killed it last fall. A week or so ago, the dogs once again killed yet another dog – one of the Huskies was stopped with a Taser, the other was shot and killed. She will get another citation – whoop-de-doo!!! I hope the people whose dogs were killed file suit against them! Tells you all you need to know about these cretins, if you ask me!!!!
“Well, time eventually wounds all heels.” – Wolfie on today’s daily thread intro.
The law of sowing and reaping is in effect. PLUS – President Trump is going after these ‘doping doctors.’
I’ve seen a lot of folks lives messed up that these doctors have gotten hooked on oxy.
I can name 2 other people right now of whom I am aware whose lives were totally destroyed with his willing assistance.
And, unlike Bush W and Romney, POTUS’ fight for us isn’t beneath him…and, he’s not afraid to use the same game plan as the Left. And, gosh, do they hate that!
They can call us names, but if we do that back, it’s undignified, childish.
They can attack conservatives with lawfare (IRS, Sarah Palin, Catherine Englebrecht) but if we file suit, or prosecute, it’s political spite, 3rd world country.
They can strike us, but we mustn’t hit back.
They are hypocrites, see themselves as untouchable.
On Twitter it makes them absolutely bonkers if a Christian gives it to them. They call you every name in the book and try to guilt and shame you. I laugh and tell them God is my judge, not them.
The best thing you can do is just what POTUS does…make them live up to their own standards…in this case tolerance, inclusiveness, feminism, LGBT, etc.
Taking out Crowley was most unexpected. They blindsided her. Most of the problem was with footnotes, and “proper citations”. It was a cheap shot and the press was wildly misleading.
Pfftttttt, go and IBID yourself, CNN!!!!
The last degree I picked up was done in ’94. I gave my copy of “how to footnote” to my stepson for high school, BUT rules changed as the internet came in. He graduated high school in 2002 and had one paper where he was severely docked — because he used my book for a reference on how to footnote. Since it was about the same time, I’m wondering if something similar happened to Monica.
Even CNN admitted it was mostly a footnoting issue: “Crowley cited these and other sources in footnotes at various points in her dissertation, but often failed to include citations or to properly cite sources in sections where she copied their wording verbatim or closely paraphrased it.”…….. and there it is, “properly citing a footnote” cost Monica her book and a wonderful career…… as opposed to Joe Biden’s plagiarism……. which was wide and broad.
The Kissinger references in Monica’s dissertation were different and mostly paraphrased.
Can’t do a dissertation on International Relations without citing others. Yet, it leads me to wonder, WHO IN THE HECK was her PhD advisor at Columbia if her dissertation was not properly cited……… AND WHO ELSE did they advise?
And while I am on my soapbox, be assured. My little fluff pieces for our darling QTree are all mine. No way in heck anyone else could dream up my life. Hrrrrmmpppfff!
And that it came out, years later, that the reporter removed the footnotes…… was crap. The headlines today, “alleged plagiarist” is also a bunch of crap.
She was smeared.
Does the CNN/Buzzfeed guy still have his job?
Kacknizyqxyqski should be in jail!
He appears to still be at CNN. I think he just laid low while CNN pretended it didn’t happen. Easier than a leftist “denounce and rehabilitate” drama.
grrrrrrrrrr
THIS: “Yet, it leads me to wonder, WHO IN THE HECK was her PhD advisor at Columbia if her dissertation was not properly cited……… AND WHO ELSE did they advise?”
Dr. Crowley had to defend the dissertation to a whole committee. Why didn’t the distinguished Columbia faculty make sure the paper and citations were right before approving it?
Yes, the MLA handbook and approved form for history, science and literary papers change year by year. Thankfully, now there is software to make it easy.
I remember typing papers in high school and college on a typewriter – and then no white out was allowed on formal papers! Most people at the Doctorate level used professional typists. The computer age is so much easier for many reasons – word count, word search, finding a paragraph, moving text, etc.!
They really WERE right, the reporter removed 39 footnotes which Crowley put in, and HE TOOK OUT.
BUT – I still thought there was a problem with the Kissinger paraphrasing.
Which is weird.
If I hear a joke, but retell the joke, no way in hell I will tell it verbatim. Do I need to cite a source to paraphrase?
I guess it’s safer not to paraphrase….so as not to unintentionally distort words/meaning of original speaker/writer.
Have always thought the “dire consequences” of screwing up citation / footnotes was over the top. The minutia and do it exactly this way, only this way, is BS, IMHO. Daughn’s example of step son being severely docked is a perfect example.
I get it, correctly so, don’t claim words, thoughts that are not ours. But, over the top enforcement is nonsense. My degrees are from what would probably be regarded as fourth string. Glad I don’t live in that “elite” world.
You can get a wonderful education at a ‘state university’ though the ivy snobs sneer….and you can get poor products out of the elite schools.
You sure can, especially in the last couple decades.
Everyone has intellectual and emotional shortcomings.
But if you don’t live in the world of elites…you might be missing out on an invite to Little St. James Island! /s
As you say, “glad I don’t live in that ‘elite’ world”
If we don’t paraphrase others, then learning slows to a crawl, and re-inventing the wheel is what most will be doing.
OTOH, declining to paraphrase would mean most people would have very little to say. The ensuing quiet might be enjoyable. 🙂
I’m paraphrasing…..
I typed my own Master thesis on a typewriter…looks so amateurish now! One summer in college I worked for an attorney (no white out allowed), so at least had that training and experience to do it.
Often wives of graduate students earned much-needed money by typing papers. A lot of them became so proficient they made suggestions, corrections, etc.
And…although actually before my time (but not too terribly much), wives also earned money by ironing shirts…in the days when students, especially male grads students, wore ironed shirts and pressed pants to class.
Those days seem so long ago.
Well, it WAS so long ago…but seems like yesterday! LOL
Have a bd in a few days so “yesterday” is getting more “long ago.”
What is a bd? Board exam?
Birthday
Oh (hits head) BD = Birthday! Happy Birthday in advance!!!! and Many healthy, happy moar!!!

There’s also a Boynton Christmas card with “Wee Fish Ewe A Mare Egrets Moose Panda Hippo Gnu Deer”

My mom got a PhT…Putting Hubby Through. She had an actual framed ‘diploma’. 😄

Piled higher and Deeper …
Over here, the only ones who get called on it are the conservatives, in particular the CDU/CSU(“paradebeispeil” Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg. Or actually (and here, I was griping about my TWO middle names:
Karl-Theodor Maria Nikolaus Johann Jacob Philipp Franz Joseph Sylvester Buhl-Freiherr von und zu Guttenberg
No wonder everyone else was jealous. Just think, though, when he had to fit all of those names on a preprinted form, say, a bank withdrawal or credit-card form. Then again, based on the “von and zu”, he probably has someone else who has to do it for him 🙂 He’s actually a really good guy, MGGA material.
Anyway, the Greens, Die Linke (left), the SPD (almost as left) and the FDP (our RINOS) jumped at the chance to trash his Doktortitel. Then again, almost NONE of them made it past the Diplom (Master+, no real equivalent in the US system).
The advent of computerized scanning systems has made it possible to accuse almost anyone of anything. It is a fact of human nature and mind function to remember things and integrate them into a larger whole.
(On a side note, the DEMONcRATs seem to integrate things into a larger hole…)
Composers often unknowingly “quote” other pieces in their compositions (there’s a technical term for that which escapes me at this point). Hollyweird, et. al. have had a field day with that, as then the criteria become “how many notes did XYZZY STEAL!!! before completing his THEFT of xxxxx”.
Back in the good old days of Bach, Beethoven, Brahms, Paul McCartney and Barry Manilow, imitation was considered the highest compliment. In the case of PDQ Bach, that compliment was known as identity 🙂
(exact copy).
Listen to the Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto No. 3 (I recommend the version from Hélène Grimaud and Claudio Abbado). And Rachmaninoff’s Symphony in E minor.
“Full Moon and Empty Arms” (figures the Violas would get that theme first 🙂 )
“Never Gonna Fall In Love Again (they escaped, this time…)
and a few others. Rachmaninoff had soaring, overarching, long, beautiful melodies and themes, which lend themselves to popular music. And, on the other hand, are difficult to sustain as a soloist, especially if your hands can’t span a 12th or more) (which is 99 percent of normal humans)….
Anyway, the left always goes looking for things that they have no hope of accomplishing themselves, and then turn them around to use to accuse we Deplorables…
I have no idea where my reply to Cuppa went. If you see something about middle names and German heritage son-in-laws, that was me. ☺
Right on. If you defend your dissertation before a committee, you’ve already been through a ringer of nit-pickers.
I used to be very particular about citations – and I really pissed off more than one person with that.
But now we live in the era of lazy journalism where most writers wouldn’t know a citation if it bit them in the face. The crap BuzzFeed churns out…
Footnotes are convenient, but their utility diminishes when they are over-used. If a footnote contains multiple paragraphs of information, it either needs to be inserted inline into the text (not always possible), simplified, or relegated to a table or appendix of citations. I’ve seen plenty of articles where the footnotes devoured the entire page but for about four or five lines of main body text. Most of the time I cringe when I see this. There are a few instances where I’ve seen this and approved, for example when the main text is itself is originally in another language and the article’s author is taking the time to explain the nuances of his translation. Most of the time though excessive footnotes isn’t about citations as much as it is fluff designed to impress with gargantuan footnotes.
I’ve also seen competing research groups argue that the other team didn’t include enough “footnotes”. Also cringeworthy – what matters is “citations”. Nevermind, the other team went back to their text and added a whole slew of footnotes, mostly defending minor sticking points, but not actually increasing their citations. So it went back to the complaining team – and they went back to their MO, finding other things to complain about… because it was never their fault or their wrong, you see. No, no … nothing but honest truth seeking going on there… /s
I agree with you about both – the silliness of folks in academia and the preference for an Appendix for long notes and explanations. Sometimes an inset quote works. Readability and clarity should be the main thing – plus integrity in citing sources.

Brilliant and practical invention.
We bought an earlier version of that machine called the Roll-Aid, that was bigger and much more difficult to take on and off of a manual wheelchair. Our family member had coordination deficits due to the neurodegenerative disease and could not get the thing on and off by herself. It blocked her from getting out of the chair and transferring to the toilet.
Wasted money. We still laugh about it. Many people with disabilities accumulate a garage full of gadgets and gismos that don’t work for them.
Well see there. Looks good on video, does not work in real life. Bummer.

Disturbing news re: Johnson & Johnson:

Hmmm. Interesting.
I guess you have to be on Twitter? I used to be but not any more.
Looks like pretty soon they’re going to lose the house they rigged…
And when the go to court to complain, they’re going to find they lose the courts they rigged…
And when they try to tap their war chest, they’re going to find they lost all the cash cows they rigged…
And when they try to get out of the country, they’re going to find the escape doors they rigged are gone…
And then they may be looking up at the rigging…
That is a brutal yet sweet narrative. Kudos.
I think a great indicator that supports “And when they try to tap their war chest, they’re going to find they lost all the cash cows they rigged…”—is how quickly the Clinton Foundation funding dried up after Hillary’s defeat.
Additionally, Republican funding driven by support for President Trump is crushing the opposition!
Oh and the drying up of the Clinton Foundation funding—probably already shut some of those escape doors—as will Epstein’s assets being impounded.
Helicopter Carrying Billionaire Chris Cline and 6 Others Crashed Just 1 Minute After Taking Off
The helicopter carrying billionaire coal tycoon Chris Cline, his daughter Kameron, and five others in the Bahamas was only up in the air for a minute before it spiraled out of control and crashed on the Fourth of July, according to the National Transportation Safety Board, who on Wednesday released a preliminary report in the ongoing investigation into the deadly crash.
https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/helicopter-carrying-billionaire-chris-cline-132114664.html
Per the initial NTSB report, all 5 of the helicopter’s rotor blades were separated when the wreckage was found in the water.
UNTIL it is proven otherwise, my “DeepState Suspicion Meter” is on HIGH.
Agreed. To a Stalinist who believes in “global warming”, it’s totally justified.
Since Halloween has already been wrecked with adults not wanting to grow up, trunk & treat events, etc., let’s just wreck it some more, and change the date so that it is COMPLETELY divorced from the Solemnities that follow.
https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2019/07/25/halloween-petition-change-last-saturday-october/1834126001/
A Change.org petition to change the date of Halloween is gaining traction and closing in on its goal of 75,000 signatures — at which point, it’ll be sent to President Donald Trump.
The petition, started last year by the Halloween & Costume Association, has more than 63,000 signatures as of Thursday evening. The trade association is designed to “promote and build the celebration of Halloween in the United States,” according to its website.
“It’s time for a Safer, Longer, Stress-Free Celebration!” the organization wrote in its petition. “Let’s move Halloween to the last Saturday of October!”
Halloween, traditionally celebrated on Oct. 31 each year, falls on a Thursday this year. If the holiday were to take place on the month’s final Saturday this year, it would be on Oct. 26.
Most of the reasons listed on the Halloween & Costume Association’s petition for the change focus on child safety. The petition cites a few issues like parents not accompanying children who are out trick-or-treating and kids not carrying flashlights.
DP comment: the article doesn’t quite explain the full origin of the current practice. Just takes a swipe at the Church and All Saints Day that was observed and practiced at different times of the year for at lest a century before November 1 was designated the date. Annoying. https://www.catholic.org/saints/allsaints/
I see no need to change the date, at all. People can and do celebrate when it’s convenient for them. Some people (very few) understand the evil roots of the day and don’t think it should be elevated in status. Others see it as a harmless way to have fun, having grown up with that experience. I say leave it alone.
Hallowe’en is Samhain, the highest (lowest) holiday of the Satanic Black Magick witches’ calendar.
People can rationalize and say “oh, it’s just a fun event for kids”, but the dark history of Samhain remains the same. And Baal/Moloch are part and parcel of the human sacrifices that used to take place. And the jack-o-lantern has a dark history to tell, as well.
Best that they reschedule Halloween to the 12th of never…
And the bad joke telling we do here in STL? All kids school age and older must tell one.
Don’t need Samhain for that; just the Joe Miller joke book…
Does Samhain involve chocolate and hot Cheetos? If not, then we’ll deal with Halloween and “What is a ghost’s favorite pie?” just fine.
Samhain involves Satan, Baal, Moloch, and Druidism.
Since I have folks in my English/Irish side of the family who are involved in the Wiccan side of things, I’m well versed in (though abhorrent of) what that involves. Look up what the Druids believe. The original “Burning Man”.
Samhain is Anathema. Punkt.
Cuttingedge, crossroad.to, gracetoyou (John Macarthur) have a lot of information on this, including from former Satanic Black Magick (note the “k”) Illuminised Witches, on this.
There is NOTHING good about Halloween. Nor of the “Book of Kells”, which we have in the family, but I refused. Same as a totem pole or a witch doctor “ornament”. Forbidden in the Bible, both Old Testament and New Testament. The sites I mentioned have copious expiations of what I just noted.
BEST ARTICLE on love, family, life, death and GOD that I have ever read.
What People Talk About Before They Die – Kerry Egan Link -https://www.hospicepatients.org/my-faith-what-people-talk-about-before-they-die-by-kerry-egan-01-28-2012.html
Quotes:
“They talk about the love they felt, and the love they gave. Often they talk about love they did not receive, or the love they did not know how to offer, the love they withheld, or maybe never felt for the ones they should have loved unconditionally.”
“We don’t live our lives in our heads, in theology and theories. We live our lives in our families: the families we are born into, the families we create, the families we make through the people we choose as friends.
This is where we create our lives, this is where we find meaning, this is where our purpose becomes clear.
Family is where we first experience love and where we first give it. It’s probably the first place we’ve been hurt by someone we love, and hopefully the place we learn that love can overcome even the most painful rejection.
This crucible of love is where we start to ask those big spiritual questions, and ultimately where they end.”
I grew up in a mess of a family…born right in the middle of WWII and it went downhill from there, ever tangling, confusing and distorting the definition of love and family. I read this article over and over.
Needless to say, I made many wrong choices due to my conditioned feelings and responses. But GOD has been the faithful, redeemer, teacher, priest…. Psalm 27:10 and Isaiah 54:5 have meant the world to me.
God bless you sweetheart … ❤️
Blessings and peace… may be both grow, learn and overcome in GOD’s love, truth and life.
Amen ❤️
Most people will choose to buy distressed antique furniture rather than a pristine example. Something about it mirroring the world as it actually exists. IOW, it’s not sterile.
I have found this works for people as well. Your scars (mental & physical) are what enhances and defines your attractiveness to other people.
Lovely words.
I preferred old furniture, not fine antiques, old, used, thrift store turn of century furniture to new. Liked to paint or refinish or just clean it up and use it.
GOD uses broken vessels… for HIS Perfect Will. For we are perfected through Jesus (who IS perfect) (that is to say WAS/IS/and EVER SHALL BE Perfect) who DIED for us…

Free Money ! sounds great, right ?
Universal Basic Income ~ UBI
“…the idea of giving out to every American a set amount of money every so often with little to no strings attached.”
this very very bad idea is gaining momentum & visibility among Americans, generally, as well as in government, Wall Street and Silicon Valley…
but inspite of its apparent popularity (in polls), UBI is a very very bad idea on several levels…
not only would it not produce the Utopia its proponents prophesize, it would also be <
