Welcome! Come on in, the doors are open.
Come on up and find a comfy spot:
This Sino-Slapping 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-KMAG-KAG world.
Free Speech is practiced here at the Q Tree. 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.

Visual descriptions for our dear Zoe, and for anyone else who may find them helpful:
Header Image: Is a view of a lone Knight on a white horse, slowly approaching on a pathway leading to a gigantic Tree. The enormous Tree is the size of a skyscraper, with a gnarled trunk and huge branches. There is a rough hillside in front of the tree…so we cannot see the base of it. Some stone ruins are off to the side of the Tree.
In the distance are some other gigantic Trees, which give us an idea of the scale of the one that the Knight is approaching. It is a sunny day with blue sky overhead and there are fluffy white clouds in the distance.
Second Image: Is a set of arched doors that come to a pointed arch at the top. One of the doors is slightly ajar. There is ornate scrolled iron-work on the doors at their hinges, that covers quite a bit of each door. A large metal circle serves as the handle on one door…the other door has a metal gate across the lower half.
There is a stone path and a couple of stone steps in front of the doors. Ivy and green vegetation are growing all around the door frame. Above the top of the doors, is a stone carving of a circular emblem of some sort. Sunlight is streaming down on this stone emblem and onto the steps leading up to the doors.
Third Image: Is an open lounge with a view, filled with comfy-looking couches and over-stuffed chairs. There are lanterns all around, on the tables, on the guard rails and on out of the way places on the floor. There is a round free-standing stucco fireplace, with a warm-looking fire crackling within it. Large branches serve as supports for the ceiling, with cross-branches forming the structure for the ceiling.
Forth Image: Is President Trump in a windbreaker jacket, with a furrowed brow and a sympathetic smile on his face, as he visits storm victims.

The Storm is here.
Some may not enjoy it.
But us Deplorables are loving the shit out of it:
Ol’ Wolfie was wanderin’ out late one night
Jus’ howlin’ at the moon with all his might
He was joined by Bella and Boris, too
And you’ll never see such a loathsome crew
Well, they saw this thing comin’ out of the sky
It had the one long horn, and one big eye
Wolfie was a-shakin’ and startin’ to pee
“That big flyin’ thing is comin’ for me!”
It was a one-eyed, one-horned, flyin’ purple Wolfie eater
(One-eyed, one-horned, flyin’ purple Wolfie eater)
A one-eyed, one-horned, flyin’ purple Wolfie eater
What a strange sight to see!
Well he came down and he lit in a tree
Wolfie screamed “Bella! Boris! Please help me!”
The other two smiled then they laughed outright
‘Cause only Wolfie’s on the menu tonight
Wolfie said “Big Purple, let’s make a deal.
These two guys here would make a better meal.”
He said “I’m particular, how I dine.
I only eat Wolfies ‘cause they taste fine.”
It was a one-eyed, one-horned, flyin’ purple Wolfie eater
One-eyed, one-horned flyin’ purple Wolfie eater
(I like Wolfie snacks!) Flyin’ purple Wolfie eater
What a strange sight to see!
Then he swung from the tree and lit on the ground
His big purple tummy makin’ rumblin’ sounds
He took a bite of Wolfie, then spit it out
“That’s the worst tastin’ Wolfie without a doubt!”
Then he flew away, and what do ya know
Wolfie saw him last night on a TV show
Wearin’ black glasses and lookin’ highbrow
“That Wolfie bite changed me. I’m MAGA now!”
It was a one-eyed, one-horned, flyin’ purple Wolfie eater
One-eyed, one-horned flyin’ purple Wolfie eater
(I hate Wolfie snacks!) Flyin’ purple Wolfie eater
Still a strange sight to see!
This landed in the Span Bin, Carl.
No idea why!
And…I LOVE it!
😀🥰👍👏
Great work, Carl. Thank you!
Wasn’t my doing – but NOT SEEING IT in the spam bucket was. I was off on a B-2 Mission, dropping a STEFAN HALPER “Fat Boy” model atomic bomb on CHINA. Just got back!

Do you hear the people sing?
Singing the songs of angry men?
It is the music of the people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!
Will you join in our crusade?
Who will be strong and stand with me?
Somewhere beyond the barricade
Is there a world you long to see?
Then join in the fight
That will give you the right to be free!
Do you hear the people sing?
Singing the songs of angry men?
It is the music of the people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start
When tomorrow comes!
Will you give all you can give
So that our banner may advance
Some will fall and some will live
Will you stand up and take your chance?
The blood of the martyrs
Will water the meadows of France!
Do you hear the people sing?
Singing the songs of angry men?
It is the music of the people
Who will not be slaves again!
When the beating of your heart
Echoes the beating of the drums
There is a life about to start

Heheh…I thought that gif of the Chinese guy losing his shirt was…appropriate.

And yeah, Epic Day! Wasn’t it.
POTUS tweets the real news and it’s driving the Lefties, Malignant media crazy. At midnight last night, he told them to look up the “Emergency Economic Act” of 1977 to find out if he has the “power” to do what he’s doing.
They’re in meltdown mode. I believe the reason why the media is so distressed – isn’t only because of their ideology, but because when the dam breaks – their participation, their own behaviors – either in the effort to take out our GOP candidates, and/or their decadent lifestyles – connected to Jeff Epstein are going to be revealed.
It’s fear driving the narrative. Nothing but fear. (Well, and lots of hate…)
These people are STUPID!!!
They wanted to concentrate power in the Executive…
…but unlike CONSERVATIVES, they NEVER stopped to think…
“Hmm, what would happen if the other political party got power??”
These people are STUPID!!!

OMG! I love this!
😃😄😍
Ha ha ha! He’s carpet bombing them now. Love it!
Hey Wheats! I think I’ve got a Wolfie poem stuck in the works here somewhere. Can you unclog the system?
I’ll go look for it, Carl!
TY!
Sorry I wasn’t checking the bucket (since this morning). Long work on an epic post.
Totally drained, but worth it.
It’ll be deducted from your paycheck. 😉
Roto Rooter to the Rescue!
I strongly recommend this article from the WSJ warning about unsafe products for sale on Amazon. Lots of children’s toys full of lead and cadmium, products falsely labeled “FDA approved,” unsafe helmets falsely claiming government certification, and so on.
Folks, please do your research before purchasing stuff. It’s worth paying extra to buy from a reputable company and trusted vendor.
https://www.wsj.com/articles/amazon-has-ceded-control-of-its-site-the-result-thousands-of-banned-unsafe-or-mislabeled-products-11566564990
“Folks, please do your research before purchasing stuff. It’s worth paying extra to buy from a reputable company and trusted vendor.”
Of course, you mean someone besides Amazon…
Both Walmart and Target offer free two-day shipping with no membership fees. Not claiming they’re perfect and don’t have their own issues, but if you need basic stuff delivered quickly, it’s the safer option these days than Amazon. Make your special or expensive purchases at smaller businesses that specialize in whatever you’re purchasing.
Walmart is doing a great job on delivery and competitive. I have to use amazon for certain things and they seem to be flooded with Chinese storefronts.
I received an Amazon gift card last year. Found a cheap t-shirt that I liked from a third party seller. I checked the seller reviews—everything looked okay. Even had “USA” in the company name. So I order my shirt. The next day, I get an email saying that my shirt shipped from the UK. WTF? The UK? There was nothing in the product or seller description that indicated the shirt was coming from out of the country, and if I had known that, I wouldn’t have ordered it at all. It took two weeks to arrive in the mail. Bonus: The UK city where it shipped from is known for its high concentration of Muslim immigrants. I can’t prove anything, but…
Anyways, the point here is that you can’t even buy a simple $5.00 t-shirt on Amazon anymore without encountering this BS. I know there are far worse Amazon horror stories than mine, but this is just ridiculous. I refuse to buy anything from Amazon anymore unless I get a gift card and don’t have a choice.
I had more than 1 similar story. Mine were from China and Canada. I had one that kept cancelling the item. I just use amazon as a last resort. That clear good customer service disappeared a few years ago.
Same thing here, Sadie….description says out of warehouse in LA…..then after 3 weeks I get a package from China.
And another scam…you may see the same woman’s top for about half the price as in a popular catalogue, but it’s a cheap knock-off with inferior fabric straight from China. I wasted about $135 recently learning that lesson. Slow learner, I is!
THIS CRAP isn’t going to go on indefinitely!
MADE IN USA, need to hold it in my hand before I buy or CONFIRM the outfit is LEGIT and has a generous return policy.
Cutting Amazon out as much as possible!
Strange thing is it shouldn’t be that difficult. I survived the overwhelming majority of my life WITHOUT buying jack diddly from Amazon books.
Heck, most of my online book buying I did from Half.com back in the day.
Thanks for the headsup, Sadie.
I’ve wondered about how Amazon seems to have fast-tracked their imported items.
Holy shit…
From the Wikipedia:
“In the United States Code, the IEEPA is Title 50, §§1701–1707.[3] The IEEPA authorizes the president to declare the existence of an “unusual and extraordinary threat… to the national security, foreign policy, or economy of the United States” that originates “in whole or substantial part outside the United States.”[4] It further authorizes the president, after such a declaration, to block transactions and freeze assets to deal with the threat.[5] In the event of an actual attack on the United States, the president can also confiscate property connected with a country, group, or person that aided in the attack.”
DO IT, MR. PRESIDENT.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Emergency_Economic_Powers_Act
Signed into law by Democrat Jimmy Carter.
EAT IT, DEMS.
Best part. Commie DUPE handed us the weapon.
Yes, please!
🤓😃👍
Do it, Mr. President!
So he can repatriate every single corporate farm if necessary. Hmmm…. And all those other businesses better get back to the USA fast.
Did someone just ask for a smack down?
And the beat goes on…
Trump smack down will be tomorrow morning, I see the squad having a bad twitter day.
President Trump is going to own the internet tomorrow, grab some popcorn and enjoy the show.

August has been awesome.
Betting President Trump makes major headlines at G7…much of it at the expense of Germany, France and EU in general.
US/UK trade and Poland wins.
No rallies scheduled. Hoping for a couple in September.
Winning is wonderful!!!

MAGA Idea!
By Patrick J. Buchanan | August 23, 2019 | 4:49 AM EDT
https://www.cnsnews.com/commentary/patrick-j-buchanan/greenland-trumps-maga-idea
Evidence of a severe solar storm in 660BC uncovered in Greenland’s ice suggests there were much more significant solar storms in the past than we previously believed. Could a severe solar storm, and not a Carrington event, be a worst case scenario?
Sounds like a job for the Space Force!

How a potential Chinese-built airport in Greenland could be risky for a vital US Air Force base

https://www.defensenews.com/global/europe/2018/09/07/how-a-potential-chinese-built-airport-in-greenland-could-be-risky-for-a-vital-us-air-force-base/
Didn’t the ChiComs just “withdraw” their offer to build this Airport in Greenland?
I think they did…like, two days ago.
The blurb about it mentioned that it was a part of the Belt & Road initiative that the ChiComs are trying to push countries into.
Yeah, take a little necessary action here, while taking another little necessary action there… now that the cat’s out of the bag of course they want to play coy.
Greenland has a Coat of Arms…a polar bear.
Which is kind of cute:

HR 838 TAPS Act – Constitutional Review
by KrisAnne Hall, JD
The text of the TAPS Act is not the solution to gun violence many members of Congress are professing it to be. The unlimited and arbitrary authority this Act bestows upon a bureaucracy of 24 people, combined with the language of double-speak and contradictions creating loopholes allowing completely unsupervised and unchecked authority is reminiscent of the Sedition Act of 1798.
SUMMARY:
The TAPS act will create a brand new bureaucracy under the authority of the Department of Homeland Security. A non-elected bureaucrat is authorized by Congress to appoint 23 other non-elected bureaucrats to invent the authority for federal and State government agents to “identify individuals who are exhibiting patterns of concerning behavior” and then to “manage” those Americans.
The sole purpose of this bureaucracy of 24 will be to create State and federal policing bodies ruling over the perceived behavior of the American people- KGB-style agencies not only monitoring the behavior of Americans, but also functioning as judge, jury, and executioner.

Oh yeah…this is bad.
Very bad!
The next thing would be to establish a ‘National Registry’…which has been a wet dream of the DemaCommies for a long time.
A National Registry would be very bad, too.
The Dems floated a Bill to do this back in 2009, when they controlled both houses.
You bet I’ll sign that petition.
Check this one. I have no words, other than DANG!

Verse of the Day
✟
“And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.”
2 Corinthians 12:9 (KJV)
Thank You, Jesus, for blessings received and prayers answered!
http://www.lovethispic.com/uploaded_images/312250-Saturday-Blessing.jpg
I see God’s power displayed regularly by my special needs son. In his weakness God’s power is very strong. It’s a beautiful & humbling thing to witness regularly. In his developmentally challenged state he is blessed to have a child’s pure faith & he regularly “sees” God with an unveiled face. This shows a bit how he proclaims Jesus as Lord:
https://twitter.com/CurrenJosiah
Here’s an example of the kind of “Psalms” he writes to the Lord–I love his pure heart of love on fire for Jesus!!!
https://josiahsfreakshow.wordpress.com/2019/06/25/a-psalm-of-josiah-19/
How beautifully expressed, Val – you are blessed to have him – even though many would say otherwise – God has given you a gift through which you can see Him!
God Bless You for sharing!!!
Thanks Duchess. Yes we need to have “eyes to see” to appreciate some of God’s more challenging & unique gifts!
Thank you for your many encouragements in the Lord here & over there!!! God Bless YOU! 🙂
God Bless You, too, Val – but, I see He already has!!!
! 🙂
God’s grace is sufficient!
I had an 8×10 plaque made by Holy Land Stone that sits prominently in my kitchen inscribed:
God is in Control
. . . and His Grace is Sufficient, so . . .
Keep Looking Up
It’s a great reminder!
Amen goes right there, carl!!!
Saturday Blessings – Fell into the bin – Please – Thanks!
Yep, it landed in the Spam Bin.
😏
Ah – hope we do not have a ‘Proverbs’ thing – used to happen – anything with ‘proverbs’ got dumped – expect ‘Sunday’ to land there, too – * Sigh * Thanks for helping!!!
Always happy to help, Duchess.
😊
And yeah, I don’t know if it’s a ‘Proverbs’ thing…that word is not in text, and you’d think that the algorithms wouldn’t be able to pick it up on a graphic.
It’s weird.
And a mystery as to why it keeps happening.
Well…we almost got through 6 days of the week before we hit a foible – who knows – a touchy thing for sure – it used to be ‘proverbs’ that would not post – now – it is something else – lol
Oh no! Are the anti-verb people now censoring the pro-verb people? What’s next . . . censoring nouns and adjectives? We’re doomed!
LOL – ‘This’ from the ‘Word Master’ – I skeert!
And, of course, “Verb-ing” 🙂

Oh, I’ve seen worse than this. Kansas City Art Institute had some student work that was downright scary when I visited back in the 80’s.
There is concerted effort to destroy what is considered ‘art’ in our world – there is a plan – I cannot locate the actual ‘plan’ – however – what is illustrated above is part of that plan – to present art devoid of form or expression – the ‘art of the obscure’ – I call it – it is blatant psychological re-programming – imho

Wolfie,
It is in THE 45 COMMUNIST GOALS AS READ INTO THE CONGRESSIONAL RECORD, 1963
I have including several of the surounding goals since the Communist have achieved those goals too.
Amen goes right there, Gail! Thanks!!!
Glad to help Duchess.
It is frightening to see just how many of the communist goals have been reached.
Norman Mattoon Thomas – Socialist Candidate for President numerous times – predicted the Democrat Party would adopt the socialist agenda – in 1944 speech – and look what has happened – hook, line, and sinker!!!
Norman Mattoon Thomas: Socialism and the DNC.
A leading American socialist, pacifist, and six-time presidential
candidate for the Socialist Party of America.
The Socialist Party candidate for President of the U.S.,
Norman Thomas, said this in a 1944 speech:
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism But, under the name of “liberalism,” they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation,
without knowing how it happened.”
He went on to say: “I no longer need to run as a Presidential Candidate
for the Socialist Party.
The Democrat Party has adopted our platform.”
“The problem with socialism is that you eventually
run out of other people’s money.”
~Margaret Thatcher~
The democracy will cease to exist when you take from those
who are willing to work and give to those who are not.
~Thomas Jefferson~
https://www.liveleak.com/view?i=12b_1235921463
BINGO!!! Thanks, Gail!!!
And do you notice that nothing like that EVER gets graffitti on it? Just like cigarette, liquor, and gambling ads, anything promoting bad behaviour is exempt from the grafitti-taggers’ spraycans…
Locally, a “sculpture” that the people really don’t like has been spray painted to look like dominos. Some kids actually spray painted “this is ugly” on it one time. It’s been improved with a flock of pink flamingo lawn ornaments thanks to a local radio personality. And one summer, there was a couple who were meeting inside it for conjugal relations. As one woman interviewed on television put it, “S-E-X, baby, live.” There was a federal judge who used to stop court to watch. That was at least 20 years ago.
And it is still taking up space downtown. The first time I saw it, I asked my mother what was being built.
Stoned Henge…
Actually, the title of it is “Twain.” It’s supposed to be the rivers coming together. Massive fail.
Someone should put the number “22” somehere on it. Like Truman Capote’s character’s address in “Murder By Death”…
22 Twain…
As in 2-2-Twain…
No attempt to make it more palatable would work either, Cuppa – lol – so it remains ugly, distasteful, and droll.
So is a lot of modern architecture, with a few exceptions. Not much of it is inspiring at all. Even the religious efforts. It’s like the group decided Dali was the pinnacle and they decided to deconstruct him.

Orchestral, oratorio, opera and Broadway anymore are pretty much wastelands, musically speaking. The best orchestral literature is coming out of film scores.
Church music…fortunately, there’s a few hundred years worth of traditional literature to draw from, but we’re all waiting for the spirit of the 70’s to pass on to its reward along with all those aging hippies in Portland who foisted their crap (and that is a technical term in music) on the rest of us.
Pop…it’s hit and miss, but it always has been. Same with jazz.
One of the biggest problems with Art History is that we have done SO LITTLE to recognize how 100% of our artistic tastes have been PERVERTED INTENTIONALLY by communism and neo-marxism! It is no surprise that so many people don’t want ANYTHING to do with “art”. Even the “art” museums getting into the “art of the street” – graffiti exhibitions! No one is talking about it to speak of, the RED ELEPHANT in the room. The GOOD the TRUE and the BEAUTIFUL has been 100% replaced by the EVIL, the LIE, and the HIDEOUS UGLY.
Truthfully, much of what we now consider to be great art was commissioned by wealthy patrons. It was executed to their tastes, and preferences which were often about fashion moreso than anything else (see Picasso in Paris, he knew what he was painting was crap). In the US, anyway, the wealthy commissioning and purchasing crap at outrageous prices are into perversions. That’s part of it.
Funny, I went to Crystal Bridges in Bentonville, AR, to see Alice Walton’s collection which is comprised of American art (mostly works not considered to be major), and was rather stunned that there is nothing religious there. Nada. Being Catholic, art is a part of the celebration of the faith. Of late, the beauty that is really supposed to be in the art has been disfigured, after a fashion, and a lot of what is called art today is really not complementary to God’s creation.
DPatriot: And music! I cannot bear the so-called music everywhere, including in church. Ugly! Depressing! And, so few people know how to sing or to play an instrument. I could write an essay on this! “When The Lord returns, will there still be music upon the Earth.”
It would help if we would take the time to learn HOW to sing and play, but no, sports and video games are all the rage.
RUN TO JESUS – FRANCESCA BATTISTELLI –

Finally, conservatives have a street fighter as president
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2019/08/finally_conservatives_have_a_street_fighter_as_president.html
Yeah! And I’ll bet if you really cornered him he’d bite, gouge your eyes out and punch you in the throat, too!
I noticed this clip being re-tweeted…
Some people think he’s saying “…and use it for Her.”
I dunno, see what you think:
.
Sounds like he’s saying “…and use it for them.”
But that’s just me.
😏🤔
Yep! 🙂
He’s definitely trailing off in the end, like “Yes moving on”…
I apologize, wheatie – I have been remiss in thanking you for all of your ‘tree’ visions and posts – truly remarkable – how you take the ‘Q Tree’ theme and project it out to us in so many innovative ways – I am in awe of your talent.
God Bless You abundantly for all you do for us here – I am grateful to have reconnected with you – You are special!
Aw shucks, Duchess.
😌
You’ve got nothing to apologize for.
I’m honored that you like them…and I’m happy to be doing them.
😊🤗
Oh, dear, humble lady – let us be awed – Mkay?
Me too, Duchess. I open her wonderful Tree posts, and simply make myself at home. We should at least send her a hostess thank you gift.
Aww, thanks, LadyP!
😌😀
They’re lovely!
Oh, good. Glad they finally arrived! 😂
Good Idea, lady – but, oh – what gift would even be appropriate for such a talent – I ask you? We will have to gather the family together to discuss this – for it is such an important undertaking – we must choose the ‘right’ gift – oh, my!!!
Beautiful, lady – did not show until wheatie posted – PERFECT!!!
It’s a good thing Wheatie helped them get here, I haven’t quite mastered the picture posting skills! 🙂
There was a question mark on your post – so I did not see the pic until wheatie posted – odd – I think posting pics is dependent upon what ‘computer’ device you are using – tried to help someone – but, they did not have a mouse (?) – an iPad maybe – so my instructions did not help – are you posting from a laptop – I can help – if not – I have no clue…
I have a desktop, and hubby helped me the other day. I copied the wrong “address” with this one, which is why it didn’t show except as a small box (link). Duchess, I still think of my “mouse” as a having “stuff in it”! LOL Hubby shakes his head.
LOL – you are funny, lady – it took me a while to get used to it – and it eats batteries, too – but, hey – we must adjust somehow – btw – everything has ‘stuff’ in it – satan is ‘prince of the power of the air’ – so he puts ‘stuff’ in everything – however – God can smash his plans to thwart our efforts in a nanosecond – God is still in control – I take comfort in that – * Smiling * – cannot shake my head – like hubby – because I understand – lol
try this and you’ll never go back to a rodent:?odnHeight=450&odnWidth=450&odnBg=FFFFFF
The democrats will raise all kinds of hell and drag him through court for years, but I hope the president does this.
President Trump has the SUPREME COURT BACKING HIM UP not to mention the 14th Amendment.
Anchor babies, birthright citizenship, and the 14th Amendment — This goes into the Supreme Court cases ALREADY TRIED finding babies of foreigners NOT Americans.
Babies Don’t Provide Anchors! « Publius-Huldah — This goes into the actual words of the WRITERS of the 14th Amendment and their thinking.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
President Trump NEVER takes a legal stand without KNOWING THE GROUND and THAT HE CAN WIN.
(It also makes me think RBG is on her way out and President Trump KNOWS what blackmail material the Seep state has on Roberts.)
The Amazon has NOT had a ‘record’ number of fires this year.
WUWT has charts and statistics from 2003 to the present:
https://wattsupwiththat.com/2019/08/23/amazon-fire-history-since-2003/
‘Conclusion: Amazonian fires, using very current NASA data, show a decline over the record, and are nowhere close to a record so far in 2019 …
‘Postscript 3: The NY Times claims 2019 fires are way up, over 2018. That is correct. What they don’t say, is that about 1/2 the years BEFORE 2019 are higher, and about 1/2 are lower. Cherry picking of the first order.
‘Postscript 4: Nick Stokes points out that one province is at record levels of fires. True, its just under record levels today. But that means that the rest of the entire region must be UNDER average (2003-present). Looking at each region in the Amazon Basin, that is indeed true. Santa Cruz and Amazonas are above average, the rest are at or well below average. Result? The entire region is very nearly at the MODIS average for this time of year.’
Suspicious Cat here, church…
Nick Stokes is a CAGW promoter. Anthony does a good job of revealing the actual facts. (I have not hung out there for years but I doubt that has changed.)
…..
On a side note. Lord Monckton who contributes to Anthony’s site was told he was diabete. He told the doctor’s NO he would not take the medication. He changed his diet. tossed the carbs, increased his roast beef, butter and cream. Next test showed pre-diabetic and the third NOT DIABETIC.😁
(I was really worried when Hubby started the first part of that story.)
Thanks again, Gail – much needed information to keep in mind when analyzing current events – most people are not aware of what is really going on – how long this plan has been in the works – how they never give up on the idea of total world control – it is exhausting but, we must not give up the fight to prevent them…
You betcha.
Am not sure this will show — and it’s not the original one from OT — BUT:
https://randomcatgifs.com/suspicious-cat/
It worked, church – Thanks!!! Yup, that’s me!
I can’t see it.
I clicked on your link – and it automatically flashed on the screen – wonder why you cannot see it – it even moves!!!
Yes, it is a moving GIF.
Well…it is great – wonder why the link does not work for you – Hmmm…
I’m glad you can! 🙂
Aww, shucks.
Silicon Valley trying to suppress media sources not of the Left. NBC doing hit jobs on Epoch Times, and Facebook hiding advertising for the print version of Epoch Times.
Bums – Epoch Times – so scary – you know you are doing something ‘right’ when the ‘left’ turns on you!!!
We’ve love the print version. I simply can’t sit at the ‘puter and read extensively, and therefore miss a great deal. I believe “New Media” is going to find out that print versions are still quite viable – most people want to read a little more than superficially, and print helps them do that.
PS Since they’ve pushed computers so much in the schools, including online textbooks, the kids aren’t learning as well. Reading and turning pages, perusing, underlining, flipping back and forth, is interactive learning – and the mind absorbs much more.
Well, that is nice to know, lady – Thanks!!!
Writing also helps. That’s one of the big arguments for bringing back cursive. Writing helps solidify knowledge. It’s also good for brain development.
morning giggles…

Hi Pat!

It’s good to see ya…we miss you!

Heheh…there are some good ones at that link.
Thanks!
Good Morning Wheatie—lovely tree–you always post lovely trees!!!
I miss you guys too–still read and lurk…love the Q tree!
did anyone post powerline’s special Epstein edition?
Thanks, Pat…glad you like them.
😊
Uh, special Epstein edition?
I don’t think I’ve seen that one…but I may have missed it.
posted it anyway..some good ones in there!
some good ones in here too—albeit a little late

Haaaa…OMG, those are brutal.
But hilarious!

Thanks, Pat!

This will not go well.
And the west is going to have to liberate the Holy Land yet again.
Well that explains WHY the First Representative of Palestinian elected to the US Congress wanted to be IN ISRAEL as a RALLYING POINT.
Bibi and President Trump really dodge a pie in the face with that one. Now they just have to dodge the real bullets.
….
Random thought:
What would have happened if TWO US Congress women were in the thick of the fighting AND WERE KILLED by Israelis??? Given the Jihadists comittment to suiciding in the name of the Moon God I would not put it passed them to have this as the plan. After all they are mere women and the Palestinians would have ZERO problem making sure they were killed.
I bet you’re right. Also I felt that the trip was a set up but wasn’t sure how/why. Your theory makes perfect sense to me even if they weren’t killed..the entire optics with plenty of White Helmet footage ( probably already filmed )..oh yeah

Like they really care about “the children”.
🙄😏
These people are for infanticide…and they have the nerve to talk about “the children”.
🤨😠

Miserable creepy …. old ……… harridan democrap …
” “And therefore you have to be ready to throw a punch—for the children we need for ‘pleasure’ sacrifies and experiments.” — Speaker Nancy Pelosi
You just have to add in the rest of her thought…
Old Nancy is getting as bad as Crazy Maxine Waters. Calling for violence against political opponents.
Expect more Antifa violence after this.
This is pretty cool…but it’s also kind of creepy.
😏😬
This is frightening, wheatie – think about the ramifications of someone else controlling your neural impulses!
IKR?
Yes…that’s what I was thinking too!
I am not comfortable with this at all – they present it as something wonderful – helping you do something your body cannot do – but, with someone else at the ‘switch’ – made me think of those ‘guns with darts’ to induce a hear-attack in an unsuspecting person – leaving no trace – this technology troubles me – man is continuously trying to not just ‘play’ God – but, be God – not for me – I will trust in the Lord to ‘fix’ what is broken in me!!!

Goodness, was that Mrs. Macron who greeted the president?
She ran into his arms like an old flame. 🙂
I thought it was too, at first…but no, that is someone else.
Maybe someone from our US Embassy?
I think so – turned my stomach, Dora!!!

I put this up on another thread but I wanted to repeat it here as we gear up for the election season:
What happen in 2018 was the question.
I think there was a lot of voter fraud.
EVERY SINGLE CLOSE RACE and even some that were frist declared for the Repub went to a democrat! Hopefully that is being quietly taken care of.
Also I think President Trump actually wanted a DemonRat house.
WHY?
In the first two years he was FIGHTING WITH HIS OWN PARTY AND LOSING — This is a very bad look. If he has to fight with Congress it is best to fight against the Democrats and NOT the Republicans. He can not afford having the voting population thinking no matter WHO they put in office their wishes are ignored. link
Look what is happening. The DemonRats can not get thru any of their idiotic bills but they sure are LOUDLY PROCLAIMING how Anti-American, Anti-Israel, and down right crazy they are.
President Trump is a long range planner. He would lose the house IF it gave him:
1. A Strong Senate that confirms JUDGES and cabinet picks (like Barr)
2. GOT RID OF Lying Ryan
3. GOT RID OF useless RINOs
4. Energizes the base to VOTE in 2020.
With that as background….
I went to the Women for Trump event. The talk was by Bethany Hudson.
Impressions:
THEY NEED VOLUNTEERS and HELP!!! Not just knock on the door, phone call help but people with organizational ability like daughn. AND they are HIRING…
The best idea to come out of the meeting was by my local organizer. (With something added by me.)
A SIDE BY SIDE COMPARISON OF THE DEMOCRAT vs REPUBLICAN PLATFORMS
I am making this up based on what we know:
1. Infanticide of living babies vs Heartbeat bill
2. An Open Border +FREE Medical & College for Illegals all paid for by YOU vs Strong Border
3. Illegals and youths free to commit crimes vs Equal Justice under the law
4. Shipping Manufacturing and Jobs to China vs bringing Good Paying Manufacturing jobs back to USA
5. New Green Deal……
They DJT and Melania arrived:
Whoa look at her dress

And the Yellow Vest protest still going on:
I agree with Antonio Sabato (above) that ‘These liberals are out of their minds’.
God forbid they actually talk about policies and issues that matter to our nation! No…it’s got to be fluff, like new made-up words that will never be used.
Intellectual midgets!
IFFFfff the Left Talked about ” talk about policies and issues’ they know most voters would run away SCREAMING! 😲
That’s right. The Dems have nothing to offer voters other than P.C. blather.
This is going to be interesting:
Trump Admin Is Considering Using Amazon Echo And Apple Watch To Determine If Citizens Should Own A Gun
FTA:
“The Trump administration is considering a proposal that would use Google, Amazon and Apple to collect data on users who exhibit characteristics of mental illness that could lead to violent behavior, The Washington Post reported Thursday.
The proposal is part of an initiative to create a Health Advanced Research Projects Agency (HARPA), which would be located inside the Health and Human Services Department, the report notes, citing sources inside the administration. The new agency would have a separate budget and the president would be responsible for appointing its director.
HARPA would take after Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA, which serves as the research arm for the Pentagon.”
NOTE:“The White House declined to provide the Daily Caller News Foundation with a statement but sources told WaPo that Trump has reacted “very positively” to the proposal — it is unclear if he has seen the Safe Home idea.
Google and Amazon have also not responded to the DCNF’s requests for comment.”
https://dailycaller.com/2019/08/22/trump-gun-control-background/
========================================================
From the FAKE NEWS WaPo article:
“Trump has reacted “very positively” to the HARPA proposal, according to a person with knowledge of the discussions and has been “sold on the concept.””
WaPo article is loaded with COMMIE AGIT-PROP from their “secret sources” (I WON’T link it).
=============================================================
I WILL provide a link to Susan Wright Foundation(deep dive, anyone?):
https://www.suzannewrightfoundation.org
Somehow this strikes me as wishful thinking.
It looks like President Trump is drawing out the Lefties to put out NASTIER & NASTIER anti-Constitution, anti-rights stuff so voters can SEE what they actually stand for.
He did this with DACA and took away that talking point. Now he is doing the same with the first and second amendment infringement.
^^^^^ THERE IT IS! ^^^^^
Thought Crimes! Must prosecute thought crimes. Tell us what you’re thinking and go to jail.

15 Former Spooks Who Work At CNN And MSNBC Now
CNN
James Clapper, director of national intelligence under President Obama.
Andrew McCabe, former FBI deputy director. CNN announced on Friday that McCabe would serve as a law enforcement analyst.
James Baker, former FBI general counsel. Baker, a CNN legal analyst, left the FBI in May 2018 under a cloud of suspicion.
Josh Campbell, former FBI aide to James Comey.
Asha Rangappa, former FBI special agent and leading collusion conspiracy theorist.
Steven Hall, former CIA Moscow station chief and outspoken critic of Trump.
Phil Mudd, former FBI and CIA official.
Susan Hennessy, former attorney for the National Security Agency.
Samantha Vinograd, former adviser to the Obama administration’s National Security Council.
James Gagliano, former FBI supervisory special agent. Gagliano typically discusses breaking news stories regarding active shootings, terrorism incidents. He has been an outspoken critic of both James Comey and Andrew McCabe.
MSNBC
John Brennan, former CIA director.
Frank Figliuzzi, former FBI assistant director for counterintelligence.
Chuck Rosenberg, former chief of staff to James Comey and administrator of the Drug Enforcement Administration.
Malcolm Nance, former Naval chief petty officer.
Jeremy Bash, former CIA chief of staff.
Here’s hoping McCabe talks himself into a prison sentence on that network. I wonder how his attorneys feel about him blabbing on-air about very sensitive and self-damning material?

Creepy Joe just keeps getting creepier every day.
He must be having dreams about Obama’s assassination in 2008 so he could have become president. 😉

UGH.
There’s also this:
Talk about a comment going over like a lead balloon. And she claims she’s not racist. LOL!
Gotta wonder if she’s been taking campaign queues from Creepy Joe?

Pelosi actually said throw a punch “for the children” at her event. I wonder if shes ever going to get her due, esp for inciting pantifa like that.
Vintage Sarah Palin – comparing the purchase of Alaska with the purchase of Greenland (and telling Tina Fey to “suck it”) I just love her.
But did you also know that President Trump’s grandfather made a fortune in gold in Alaska before settling in NYC?
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/08/22/exclusive-sarah-palin-trump-can-see-greenland-from-his-house/
Funny how a commenter called it Trump’s Greenland New Deal.

Re PDJT’s grandfather, I saw it on a Channel 4 documentary here in the UK.
