Pack an overnight bag and let’s make a run to Hershey, PA!
We’ve been to Hershey before. Remember? Well, since 2016, PA has changed a little bit!
“Pennsylvania is booming thanks to President Trump and jobs are coming back to the state,” said Michael Glassner, Chief Operating Officer of Donald J. Trump for President, Inc.. “Since President Trump’s election, Pennsylvania has added 157,800 new jobs, including 2,900 manufacturing jobs. President Trump is delivering on his promises, and he looks forward to celebrating those successes with the great men and women of Pennsylvania.”
This will be the president’s 35th visit to Pennsylvania since announcing his candidacy during the 2016 election. He visited the state 19 times as a Republican candidate, once as a president-elect and 14 times as a sitting president.
Trump’s visit with Pence on Tuesday is the first time the president and vice president have appeared together in Hershey since they came for the “Thank You” tour on Dec. 15, 2016. On that trip, he said, “In four years, we’re going to win Pennsylvania by even more.”
He won Pennsylvania by 44,292 votes in 2016, thanks in part to thousands of first-time voters in southcentral Pennsylvania. Analysts say he will need those voters again if he wants to hold on to swing states like Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin and Florida.
Trump has drawn some of his largest crowds at Giant Center, which seats more than 10,000 people and has standing room for supporters on the floor. His campaign has previously estimated 13,000 attendees at his Hershey rallies.
While we’re in Hershey, PA, take another evening to explore Hershey Park. It’s a resort and Amusement Park which has been open since 1907. The Christmas light spectacular on Candy Lane is perfect for the kids, with real reindeer, tons of Christmas lights, several worthy roller coasters and vast rides, and of course, your favorite Christmas treats!
Hershey Park has two hotels, the Lodge and Hershey Hotel. There’s a water park and the place is YUGE!!!! Looks like fun to me, and with MORE people working, more families can afford to go and take the kids!
This DECLAS DECEMBER [1210] Q’PER TUESDAY 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.
However, we have a new policy. Starting 20191110. Keep it SOMEWHAT civil.
We have a new board – actually a new SITE – called The U Tree – where people can take each other to the woodshed without fear of censorship or moderation. NOT HERE.
This board will remain a REFUGE for those who need civility, either some or all of the time.
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.
6)IG finds 17 separate problems with FISA court submissions, including FBI's overstatement of Steele's credentials. Also the failure to provide court with exculpatory evidence and issues with Steele's sources and additional info it got about Steele's credibility.
Now there is documented evidence that the FBI withheld exculpatory evidence multiple times to the FISA Court, do you still agree that those individuals should face sanctions? https://t.co/lBE9daABHF
Still troubling that massive anti-Trump probe was started on the very flimsiest of evidence. But by January 2017 *at very latest* FBI knew anti-Trump probe should have been ended. So why did it keep going? And what's more, why did leaders launch Special Counsel months later? https://t.co/NWuuDyH1Zh
Mollie has an amazing bunch of deeply perceptive tweets that Sidney Powell is retweeting. These two gals are just skunking the coup with each one of them.
Massive counterintel investigation against political campaign of opposing party was started solely on tip from foreign gov't, nothing else, IG says. W/in days, 4 campaign officials targeted, picked because they'd been to Russia or talked to Russians. Wow does this look flimsy.
And it just goes on forever. There are THOUSANDS of patriots going over the IG report, finding everything wrong with it.
THAT is the power of WE THE PEOPLE and FREE SPEECH.
One of the things you will notice in the following discussion is that the Soviet Fake News – acting just like Russia’s fake news acted in the 1970s – simply turns everything on its head. Even Horowitz is helping a bit, which is sad, but expected from an Obama appointee. Horowitz held his “Trump-limiting” fire for as long as he could, but at the last possible moment in his ability to protect the plot, he did what he could in the way of DAMAGE CONTROL.
Horowitz didn’t lie. What he did was give what I believe is UNREASONABLE benefit of the doubt to Comey and McCabe in assessing their MOTIVE. Why do I say “unreasonable”? Because it’s quite clear that the BIAS against Trump was POLITICAL IN NATURE, and that bias was ACTED UPON.
BIAS is not a crime. ACTING UPON IT AGAINST THE LAW IS.
Communists have TRAINED YOU otherwise, using the FAKE NEWS MEDIA.
The political bias against Trump may not have been PARTY politics, and it might not have been standard Conservative-versus-Liberal politics, but it was POLITICS nonetheless. It was all about the PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.
If you are an investigator, and you can’t see the bias in FISAgate, you’re either a PISS-POOR investigator, or you are COVERING UP for the bias of the Deep State.
It’s like saying that Ted Bundy wasn’t motivated by sexual sadism because of some technicality of when *exactly* he murdered his victims, or because he didn’t use standard whips of particular dimensions and wear appropriate lady-porn Fifty Shades of Gray sexy suits during the acts.
It’s CRAP.
WHO are you kidding, Horowitz? If this wasn’t about politics, then WHAT WAS THE MOTIVE?
I’ll tell you. It was GLOBALIST versus NATIONALIST politics. The “special hatred” for Donald Trump is that he is completely antithetical to the subtextual political worldview of globalism.
Horowitz is UNREASONABLE in not seeing it and calling it out, even though – very ironically – it MAKES NO DIFFERENCE IN THE CRIMES.
The latter is an important point. The law is the law. Bias means nothing, if we TRULY do not act on it, by OBEYING THE LAW – which is not supposed to be a mind-reader on ACTS. At the end of Obama’s tenure, I thought he was a horrid communist spy and insert, but he was also POTUS. His LIFE and his OFFICE deserved our protection with every last fiber of our being as patriotic Americans. PERIOD.
But THAT doesn’t matter. Love him or hate him, HOW WE ACT is all that matters to the LAW.
Because we are NOT in CHINA.
https://youtu.be/vspukvqxTSg
We ACT either properly or improperly IN SPITE OF ANY BIAS. This was taught when I was a CHILD. Sadly, the DEMOCRAT SCHOOLS no longer teach this.
TRUMP did not get the RESPECT that he deserved from the system. PERIOD.
I’m not the only person who sees how ridiculous this is.
But there are actually FACTUAL REASONS – not subject to debate – that tell us HOROWITZ was OFF THE MARK on this report.
If John Durham has met with Patrick Byrne, and listened to his timeline… well, the July 31st, 2016, Horowitz predicate date is way off the mark. Byrne said he was tasked by the FBI to run "political espionage" starting in 2015. pic.twitter.com/UXumhWSc2P
ANYWAY – my take on the IG Report, told in TWEETS, follows.
First of all, you really need to see how HARD the FAKE NEWS MEDIA is pulling to COVER UP.
Remember – this is COMMUNIST DEMORALIZATION.
BREAKING: FBI Dir. Chris Wray "The inspector general did not find political bias or improper motivations impacting the opening" of Russia probe, "or the decision to use certain investigative tools."@PierreTABC: "Included FISA?"
REMEMBER – Wray is just CITING FACTS here – facts about the report – but the FAKE NEWS is CHOOSING to highlight ONLY those facts.
This is EXACTLY like the SOVIET UNION, for those of us who don’t remember it.
DON’T LOOK AWAY.
I strongly suggest that you CUT YOUR CABLE if you have not done so already. You can see plenty of “don’t look away” material on the internet without PAYING to produce it.
Look at the BOLSHEVIK FILTH one last time before you CUT THE CABLE.
Check out THIS “Blue Checkist”…. a NEW YORK TIMES Shiece of Pit.
These anti-American pieces of garbage are not our friends. They hate our country – they hate us – and they HATE THE TRUTH.
One more.
The DOJ IG's report rebuts allegations of illegal spying and that political bias played a role in the probe begun ahead of the 2016 election, but finds serious faults in other areas, according to a copy of the document obtained by WaPo. https://t.co/p274MTloRe
Overall, this was pretty shocking evidence of LIES and DECEIT by the FBI and DOJ, with evidence of CIA treachery leaking in, yet compared to what the “Pizzagate” crowd wanted to happen – well, not so much of a big bust. Was John “Skippy” Podesta even NAMED in this thing? The treacherous James 8. Corney certainly was.
Gonna be blunt here, amigos. The fact that the IG report doesn't have photos of Cankles and Beelzebubba dancing around bound children in red shoes, with Bubba eating pizza and hot dogs off of her medical devices, does not concern me.
Yeah, Cankles ain’t in jail YET, but what we are seeing now is a lot of SPACE between (A) what we KNOW and which is now PROVEN BY LAW, and (B) what James Comey and his GRIFTER CLUB have been selling us via the FAKE NEWS MEDIA.
Comey was reading the same Obama tea-leaves as McCabe who knew Obama wanted "everything". The Beria-Stalin psychology of race and media-driven guilt was used with dramatic effect not only on us hix out in the stix, but even as a silent enforcer among the elite grifter class.
See how different THAT is from what the “Please Let Our Friends Off” FAKE NEWS MEDIA tried to tell us? Trump is right. The FAKE NEWS is not our friend.
So let’s take a look at what DID come out, and what is STILL coming out.
The TREACHERY of the Comey FBI – PROVEN right here.
What IG report page 341 tells you: the FBI used a defensive briefing with the Trump campaign as a tool for an investigation into its members. Unbelievable.
How bad was it? Even HOROWITZ admitted it was bad – before that final RUG SWEEP.
Adam Schiff 2/24/2018: "the FBI acted appropriately"
IG report today: "We are deeply concerned that so many basic and fundamental errors were made by" the FBI. "We believe this circumstance reflects a failure…by the managers and supervisors…including FBI senior officials"
Brad Parscale put things into perspective very nicely. The criminal Soviet Democrats JUST DON’T CARE. Because they’re CRIMINALS.
If the Democrat controlled House does not immediately investigate the FBI abuse found in the IG report it is clear evidence the Deep State has complete control of the Democrat party.
This has been an attempt to silence Trump and his supporters since the beginning!
Don’t worry – a CRIMINAL SOVIET DEMOCRAT HOUSE will never investigate CRIMINAL SOVIET DEMOCRATS. I mean – are you kidding?
This is why NIXON was offed so easily. He simply could not comprehend that the Soviets and Chinese had GOTTEN HIM. On American soil. Using TREASONOUS criminal Soviet Democrats.
There is NO WAY that an investigation going the other way – against the CIA that SET UP NIXON – would ever have been allowed. There is no way that EVIDENCE would ever be admitted.
They were FAKE NEWS then. They are FAKE NEWS now. And the CRIMINAL DEMOCRATS were with them every inch of the way.
Cut the cable. Take away their MONEY. That money you pay them every month – TAKE IT AWAY.
But even more importantly, THIS. Take away YOUR BRAIN CYCLES. Take away THEIR subliminal PROPAGANDA. Fake news works CONSTANTLY on your BRAIN to create a FALSE STATE OF REALITY which I call FAKE NORMAL.
CUT IT OUT. Put on the INTERNAL GLASSES that BLOCK FAKE NEWS to non-threatening levels.
It is going to be a FIGHT and we have to be like Trump and KEEP FIGHTING.
Buckle up, lads and lassies. THIS is the REALITY right here.
Guys–Comey, Brennan etc. HAVE to say "See, toldja, nothing to see" about the IG report.
You really expected these shits to say "I confess!"
THAT's what I mean when I keep saying some here are expecting one report to Change Everything.
I mean, seriously. These DIRTBAGS are gonna be not just proclaiming their innocence, but actually shilling for their own “MUMIA FAN CLUBS” while in PRISON. Get used to it.
Manage your expectations, and you will see that President Trump is RIGHT ON TARGET.

So is it gonna be FIXED SOON? Sure looks that way.
It is worth noting while the #IGReport concludes that political bias did not influence the launch of the Trump-Russia investigation, US Atty John Durham, whose criminal investigation into the matter is more comprehensive, vehemently disagrees.https://t.co/bRIsHmGuq4
AND notice that all the #Resist SCUM is already MOUTHING OFF about Barr doing the right things.
Check out this WaPo Blue Checkist Bolshevik scum-bucket….
I agree with this guy: “I’ve never seen such an internal DOJ effort to challenge and undermine the IG's findings,” Harry Litman, a former U.S. attorney, told me Monday. “It is not what the Department of Justice does.” https://t.co/GvlGHqXEPR
Director Wray must make a public statement in support of the Bureau against Barr’s clear provocations and lies about the IG’s report and the way he attempts to impugn the professional and appropriate role the @FBI played in the investigation of the Trump campaign.
Yeah, take a hike, COMMIE. This guy is a real piece of TDS work.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jiMxRKq5No
But look what’s coming….
BREAKING: Sen. Grassley of Judiciary said tonight that former FBI Director Comey is going to be in for "a rude awakening when (federal prosecutor) Durham gets done" with his own, more comprehensive — not to mention criminal –investigation of #Spygate
And things already falling apart for “Curtains” Comey and his well-constructed lies.
After college, for starters, the 6-foot-7 Comey for years claimed that he played NCAA college basketball. He did not. He is a congenital liar. And he was the head of our federal secret police. Unnerving to say the least. https://t.co/YiNEyBmmIi
Yes, the Dems did dump thousands of pages of “evidence” Saturday afternoon, for a Monday morning hearing. Yes, The Repubs asked for the “evidence” for over 25days and the Dems ignored them. Every possible dirty trick is being employed. Minority Leader Collins asked for a delay to review the material and Nadler refused. We’re careening towards impeachment and the brakes have failed…..
Chairman Nadler has no choice but to postpone Monday’s hearing in the wake of a last-minute document transmission that shows just how far Democrats have gone to pervert basic fairness.https://t.co/iGBGrgFAYq
“The Inspector General’s report now makes clear that the FBI launched an intrusive investigation of a U.S. presidential campaign on the thinnest of suspicions that, in my view, were insufficient to justify the steps taken.”
Barr again in statement defending Trump: “It is also clear that, from its inception, the evidence produced by the investigation was consistently exculpatory.”
More from Barr in total: “Nothing is more important than the credibility and integrity of the FBI and the Department of Justice. That is why we must hold our investigators and prosecutors to the highest ethical and professional standards. The Inspector General’s investigation has provided critical transparency and accountability, and his work is a credit to the Department of Justice. I would like to thank the Inspector General and his team. The Inspector General’s report now makes clear that the FBI launched an intrusive investigation of a U.S. presidential campaign on the thinnest of suspicions that, in my view, were insufficient to justify the steps taken. It is also clear that, from its inception, the evidence produced by the investigation was consistently exculpatory. Nevertheless, the investigation and surveillance was pushed forward for the duration of the campaign and deep into President Trump’s administration. In the rush to obtain and maintain FISA surveillance of Trump campaign associates, FBI officials misled the FISA court, omitted critical exculpatory facts from their filings, and suppressed or ignored information negating the reliability of their principal source. The Inspector General found the explanations given for these actions unsatisfactory. While most of the misconduct identified by the Inspector General was committed in 2016 and 2017 by a small group of now-former FBI officials, the malfeasance and misfeasance detailed in the Inspector General’s report reflects a clear abuse of the FISA process. FISA is an essential tool for the protection of the safety of the American people. The Department of Justice and the FBI are committed to taking whatever steps are necessary to rectify the abuses that occurred and to ensure the integrity of the FISA process going forward. No one is more dismayed about the handling of these FISA applications than Director Wray. I have full confidence in Director Wray and his team at the FBI, as well as the thousands of dedicated line agents who work tirelessly to protect our country. I thank the Director for the comprehensive set of proposed reforms he is announcing today, and I look forward to working with him to implement these and any other appropriate measures. With respect to DOJ personnel discussed in the report, the Department will follow all appropriate processes and procedures, including as to any potential disciplinary action.”
Here is Durham’s Response:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Monday, December 9, 2019
Statement of U.S. Attorney John H. Durham
“I have the utmost respect for the mission of the Office of Inspector General and the comprehensive work that went into the report prepared by Mr. Horowitz and his staff. However, our investigation is not limited to developing information from within component parts of the Justice Department. Our investigation has included developing information from other persons and entities, both in the U.S. and outside of the U.S. Based on the evidence collected to date, and while our investigation is ongoing, last month we advised the Inspector General that we do not agree with some of the report’s conclusions as to predication and how the FBI case was opened.”
Looks like DOJ IG Report is clear that Republican FISA abuse memo from February 2018 was accurate and actually understated the FISA abuse the dirty cops engaged in. Time for FISA court to take action!
The Honorable Michael Horowitz Inspector General U.S. Department of Justice Washington, D.C. 20530
Dear Inspector General Horowitz:
Thank you for the opportunity to respond to the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) Report titled, “Review of Four FISA Applications and Other Aspects of the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane Investigation” (Report).
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) appreciates the OIG’s crucial independent oversight role and the thoroughness and professionalism your office brought to this work. The Report’s findings and recommendations represent constructive criticism that will make us stronger as an organization. We also appreciate the Report’s recognition that the FBI cooperated fully with this review and provided broad and timely access to all information requested by the OIG, including highly classified and sensitive material involving national security.
The Report concludes that the FBI’s Crossfire Hurricane investigation and related investigations of certain individuals were opened in 2016 for an authorized purpose and with adequate factual predication. The Report also details instances in which certain FBI personnel, at times during the 2016-2017 period reviewed by the OIG, did not comply with existing policies, neglected to exercise appropriate diligence, or otherwise failed to meet the standard of conduct that the FBI expects of its employees — and that our country expects of the FBI. We are vested with significant authorities, and it is our obligation as public servants to ensure that these authorities are exercised with objectivity and integrity. Anything less falls short of the FBI’s duty to the American people.
Accordingly, the FBI accepts the Report’s findings and embraces the need for thoughtful, meaningful remedial action. I have ordered more than 40 corrective steps to address the Report’s recommendations. Because our credibility and brand are central to fulfilling our mission, we are also making improvements beyond those recommended by the OIG. And where certain individuals have been referred by the OIG for review of their conduct, the FBI will not hesitate to take appropriate disciplinary action if warranted at the completion of the required procedures for disciplinary review.
Below is a summary of the actions we are taking, which we describe in more detail in the attachment to this letter.
First, we are modifying our processes under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), both for initial applications and renewals, to enhance accuracy and completeness. The FBI relies on FISA every day in national security investigations to prevent terrorists and foreign intelligence services from harming the United States. We are making concrete changes to ensure that our FISA protocols, verifications, layers of review, record-keeping requirements, and audits are more stringent and less susceptible to mistake or inaccuracy. These new processes will also ensure that the FISA Court and the Department of Justice (DOJ) are apprised of all information in the FBI’s holdings relevant to a determination of probable cause
Second, we undertook an extensive review of investigative activity based out of FBI Headquarters. The FBI is a field-based law enforcement organization, and the vast majority of our investigations should continue to be worked by our field offices. Moving forward, in the very rare instance when FBI Headquarters runs a sensitive investigation, we are requiring prior approval by the FBI Deputy Director and consultation with the Assistant Director in Charge or Special Agent in Charge of the affected field offices.
Third, we are making significant changes to how the FBI manages its Confidential Human Source (CHS) Program. Many FBI investigations rely on human sources, but the investigative value derived from CHS-provided information rests in part on the CHS’s credibility, which demands rigorous assessment of the source. The modifications we are making to how the FBI collects, documents, and shares information about CHSs will strengthen our assessment of the information these sources are providing.
Fourth, I am establishing new protocols for the FBI’s participation in Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI)-led counterintelligence transition briefings (i.e., strategic intelligence briefings) provided to presidential nominees. The FBI’s role in these briefings should be for national security purposes and not for investigative purposes. Continued participation by the FBI in these transition briefings is critical to ensuring continuity in the event of a change in administrations. The new FBI protocols about transition briefings will complement procedures already implemented by the FBI earlier this year to govern the separate category of defensive briefings. The FBI gives defensive briefings, which are based on specific threat information, in a wide variety of contexts and for myriad federal, state, and other public and private individuals and entities. The procedures we recently established for defensive briefings regarding malign foreign influence efforts have brought a new rigor and discipline to whether and how such briefings should proceed.
Fifth, I am mandating a specialized, semiannual training requirement for FBI personnel at all levels who handle FISA and CHS matters. This training will be experience-based, and it will cover specific lessons learned from this Report, along with other new and revised material. Earlier in my tenure as Director, I reinstated an annual ethics training program for all FBI employees, because I learned the training had been discontinued in prior years. While that training was not introduced in response to this Report, all current FBI employees involved in the 2016-2017 events reviewed by the OIG have since completed this additional training in ethics and professional responsibility.
Finally, we will review the performance and conduct of certain FBI employees who were referenced in the Report’s recommendations — including managers, supervisors, and senior officials at the time. The FBI will take appropriate disciplinary action where warranted. Notably, many of the employees described in the report are no longer employed at the FBI.
I want to emphasize that the FBI’s participation in this process was undertaken with my express direction to be as transparent as possible, while honoring our duty to protect sources and methods that, if disclosed, might make Americans less safe. Where protection of certain sensitive information is well-founded, I remain committed to upholding the laws and longstanding policies governing classification and public release. I am just as committed to the principle that possible embarrassment and chagrin to the FBI or its employees is not, and should never be, the basis of a decision not to divulge FBI information. The FBI has worked closely with the OIG and DOJ on the classification issues implicated by the Report. Our joint process with the OIG and DOJ has ensured all material facts could be presented in this Report, with redactions carefully limited and narrowly tailored to specific national security and operational concerns. I am grateful for the mutual assistance of the OIG and DOJ in responsible presentation of this extremely sensitive information.
Since becoming FBI Director in August 2017, I have emphasized to FBI agents, analysts, and staff the importance of doing things the right way, by the book. I am humbled to serve alongside these dedicated men and women, and I am confident that the actions we are taking will strengthen our historic institution, ensure that we continue to discharge our responsibilities objectively and free from political bias, and better position us to protect the American people against threats while upholding the Constitution.

We don’t know yet what today’s events will bring…at least, not at the time of this posting. We don’t know if the IG Report will cause splodey heads…or be a big yawn.
Either way, I see this release as a long awaited hurdle to get through.
So many things have been put off until “after the IG Report is released”…so now perhaps we will see some DeClass and see some bigger dominoes start to fall.
Let the dominoes start falling!

1 There shall come forth a Rod from the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots. 2 The Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon Him, the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord. 3 His delight is in the fear of the Lord, and He shall not judge by the sight of His eyes, nor decide by the hearing of His ears; 4 But with righteousness He shall judge the poor, and decide with equity for the meek of the earth; He shall strike the earth with the rod of His mouth, and with the breath of His lips He shall slay the wicked. 5 Righteousness shall be the belt of His loins, and faithfulness the belt of His waist. 6 “The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, the leopard shall lie down with the young goat, the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them. 7 The cow and the bear shall graze; their young ones shall lie down together; and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. 8 The nursing child shall play by the cobra’s hole, nd the weaned child shall put his hand in the viper’s den. 9 They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain, for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea. 10 “And in that day there shall be a Root of Jesse, Who shall stand as a banner to the people; for the Gentiles shall seek Him, and His resting place shall be glorious.”
Psalm 72:1-7, 18-19 Glory and Universality of the Messiah’s Reign
1 Give the king Your judgments, O God, and Your righteousness to the king’s Son. 2 He will judge Your people with righteousness, and Your poor with justice. 3 The mountains will bring peace to the people, and the little hills, by righteousness. 4 He will bring justice to the poor of the people; He will save the children of the needy, and will break in pieces the oppressor. 5 They shall fear You as long as the sun and moon endure, throughout all generations. 6 He shall come down like rain upon the grass before mowing, like showers that water the earth. 7 In His days the righteous shall flourish, and abundance of peace, until the moon is no more. 18 Blessed be the Lord God, the God of Israel, Who only does wondrous things! 19 And blessed be His glorious name forever! And let the whole earth be filled with His glory. Amen and Amen.
Romans 15:4-13 Glorify God Together
4 For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the perserverance and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope. 5 Now may the God of patience and comfort grant you to be like-minded toward one another, according to Christ Jesus, 6 that you may with one mind and one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. 7 Therefore receive one another, just as Christ also received us, to the glory of God. 8 Now I say that Jesus Christ has become a minister to the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made to the fathers, 9 and that the Gentiles might glorify God for His mercy, as it is written: “For this reason I will confess to You among the Gentiles, and sing to Your name.” 10 And again he says: “Rejoice, O Gentiles, with His people!” 11 And again: “Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles! Laud Him, all you peoples!” 12 And again, Isaiah says: “There shall be a root of Jesse; and He who shall rise to reign over the Gentiles, in Him the Gentiles shall hope.” 13 Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Matthew 3:1-12 John the Baptist Prepares the Way
3 In those days John the Baptist came preaching in the wilderness of Judea, 2 and saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!” 3 For this is he who was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah, saying: “The voice of one crying in the wilderness: ‘Prepare the way of the Lord; make His paths straight.’ ” 4 Now John himself was clothed in camel’s hair, with a leather belt around his waist; and his food was locusts and wild honey. 5 Then Jerusalem, all Judea, and all the region around the Jordan went out to him 6 and were baptized by him in the Jordan, confessing their sins. 7 But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, “Brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? 8 Therefore bear fruits worthy of repentance, 9 and do not think to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I say to you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones. 10 And even now the ax is laid to the root of the trees. Therefore every tree which does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.

2nd Sunday of Advent December 8, 2019 “Authenticity, or Appearance?”
Is 11:1-10 Rom 15:4-9 Mt 3:1-12
My Brothers and Sisters in the Lord –
We live in a culture of appearances. Far too many today are overly concerned about how they look – and about what people will think of them. Many politicians will say whatever their constituencies want to hear – instead of what is good and best for our country. Many people will believe anything they hear or read especially on social media – only later to regret having been “taken in”.
Moreover, our system is so broken that people are judged, rejected, and even condemned over something that happened long ago in their past – something that in no way defines who or what they are today!
However, worst of all is that those who judge, reject, or condemn others are often self-righteous. They fail to see or can’t admit the truth about themselves and their own faults. Fortunately, the scriptures for today have much to teach us in this regard.
Isaiah speaks of one who is to come who will not judge by appearances. The Spirit of the Lord will rest upon him. He will not base his decisions on hearsay. He will stand for justice. He will be faithful to all that God asks – And he will be faithful to all those he has come to serve and liberate.
Of course, Isaiah is speaking of Jesus Christ whom we know has come for our deliverance and salvation. Indeed, Jesus has inaugurated the Kingdom of God which finds root in the hearts of all authentic disciples. It is a kingdom of peace, wherein we can shield ourselves from the duplicity, the dishonesty, and the artificiality of our current culture!
In the Gospel of Matthew, John the Baptist urges us all to repent and to change – especially from the dishonesty within ourselves. Few of us are people of complete integrity. Most of us are hiding something – and most of us want to appear better or more than who we really are.
However, we must become disciples who aspire to honesty and integrity. We cannot be like the Pharisees and the Sadducees of today’s Gospel. They came with everyone else to the Jordan – But their coming was only for the sake of appearances. They were far from the conversion and repentance that John was urging. And, as such, they would not escape the wrath of God. For they would not be able to accept the truths, the gifts, and the salvation that Jesus came to bring!
Furthermore, salvation does not depend upon heredity, position, or the false worship of going through the motions of religious observance!
In his Letter to the Romans, St. Paul reminds us that we have a history. It is the history of our salvation recorded in the Old and New Testaments – all of which was written for our instruction. It is there to encourage us and help us to endure the hardships we face. It also gives us a well-founded hope in what Jesus has promised!
St. Paul also teaches us that we are a community of disciples who live lives of faith. We truly need the support of one another. And we must look beneath the appearances of others and discover the truth that lives within them.
Brothers and Sisters, Jesus came to unleash the fire of God which is the Holy Spirit. That Spirit is the same spirit of which Isaiah spoke and the same Spirit that Jesus, himself, possessed. The Spirit of the Lord can and does rest upon us – and it gives us the power to do that which is beyond us – or what we think might be beyond us.
It is the Spirit that enables us to rise above the surrounding culture, strip away falsehood, and come to the truth that can set us free.
So, as we prepare for the Birth of God’s Son, – may we allow that Spirit to work within us, so that we truly become all that God has created us to be!

Remember – your greatest gift to President Trump is FIVE WORDS: “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.
On this day and every day –
God is in Control . . . and His Grace is Sufficient, so . . . Keep Looking Up
Hopefully, every Sunday, you can find something here that will build you up a little . . . give you a smile . . . and add some joy, much needed in all our lives.
“This day is holy to the Lord your God; do not mourn nor weep.” . . . “Go your way, eat the fat, drink the sweet, and send portions to those for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy to our Lord. Do not sorrow, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”
2nd Sunday of Advent ~ God’s Peace
All around us, in these days, the lack of peace is everywhere; violence, hatred, fear, anxiety, worry and doubt abound: within ourselves and our families, between ethnic groups and religions, and between countries . . . everywhere. Our finances and employment situations rise and fall, the media uses our fears in the news to boost ratings, the entertainment world capitalizes on lack of peace to sell their movies and TV dramas, and political groups either claim or cause unrest to further their agendas.
During the Advent season, we look to the past to recognize and celebrate the effects of Christ’s 1st coming, and we look to the future in anticipation and a peaceful assurance of what Christ’s 2nd coming will bring.
Looking to the past, when Jesus died on the cross at Calvary, He gave us the means to reconcile our inherent sin nature and our sins with the holiness of God, the Father. At the Last Supper, Jesus said ” Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” Christ’s peace is real for all who believe and trust in Him.
And when we rely on God, His peace is real also ” Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.” And “You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is kept on You, because he trusts in You.”
God is in control. Nothing happens that is outside of His will. When we turn to Him in our lives, we gain the greatest remedy for fear, anxiety, worry and doubt. God offers us something the world cannot give us . . . His peace, which surpasses all understanding, and which will fill our minds and hearts.
Peace from God is a state of calmness or quietness of spirit that goes beyond the happenings in our lives. God is the God of peace, Jesus is the Prince of Peace, peace is one of the fruits of the Spirit, and God blesses us with peace.
Looking to the future, when Jesus comes again, we look forward to the fullness of God’s peace, His shalom . . . an unprecedented level of peace that will encompass all life in the world.
“Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.”
They shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore.
“The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, the leopard shall lie down with the young goat, the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them. The cow and the bear shall graze; their young ones shall lie down together; and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. The nursing child shall play by the cobra’s hole, and the weaned child shall put his hand in the viper’s den. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain, for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.
This fullness of the shalom of God is more than inner peace or peace within the family, more than the absence of hostilities between ethnic groups, religions and nations. Its meaning encompasses completeness, soundness, welfare, success and peace. It’s even more than the reconciliation between us and God. The fullness of the shalom of God results in a universe governed by God in which all relationships are fully loving and just . . . all in a right relationship with God, and it touches every facet in life.
As we await the fullness of God’s shalom, we can trust God for our welfare. Jesus encouraged His disciples, “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world”.
Colossians 3:15 Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace.
James 3:18 Peacemakers who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness.
Romans 12:18 If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone.
Far away in the depths of my spirit tonight Rolls a melody sweeter than psalm; In celestial-like strains it unceasingly falls O’er my soul like an infinite calm. Peace, peace, wonderful peace, Coming down from the Father above! Sweep over my spirit forever, I pray In fathomless billows of love! ~ ‘Wonderful Peace’ Don Moen
As we prepare to celebrate the birth of Jesus, may we enjoy the peace we have with God through Christ. And may we be given a foretaste of the peace on earth that is yet to come.
In my opinion, somebody like known provocateur ROBERT CREAMER has to be behind the Columbus “nuclear reactor escalation” hoax, and hopefully, when we have a new head of the Department of Energy fully operational – and some new leadership at the top of the FBI – this little HOAX will get some Jussie Smollett-style KARMA.
But until then, you will just have to get by on my TIN FOIL yet LOVINGLY RADIOACTIVE (for Democrats) THEORY of what *actually* went down in Columbus, Ohio on Thursday night.
Grab your POPCORN (no, not CORN POP) and GATHER ROUND.
That tweet, which is a retweet of another, follows:
Twenty duplexes were evacuated in Columbus, #Ohio after a man called 911 saying he was burned while working on a “quantum physics generator" in his garage and mentioned "alpha waves." The device was not nuclear in nature but apparently a capacitor, authorities say. https://t.co/rfsFV6QvnC
That darned ole Flux Capacitor thingy went on the fritz!!!
I saved an image of the tweet just in case it disappears.
What you are seeing here is the WRAP-UP of the incident. However, if you had been on Twitter EARLIER, then you would have seen all sorts of “War of the Worlds” type fascination and panic popping up in tweets. You can still search on “Columbus” and “nuclear” and find them right now.
These two links are particularly instructive for the FACTS:
Now, I had actually seen this EARLIER, thanks to wheatietoo, who had posted THIS tweet from Jordan Sather.
"Haley Nelson of WSYX-TV reports that a resident was working on a “quantum physics generator” at the home and was burned. The type of burns caused confusion among first responders, prompting an evacuation of about 40 homes."
You will notice HERE that there is talk of both a “quantum physics generator” and a “possible small nuclear reactor” being inside a person’s GARAGE in Columbus, Ohio, and the man is saying he sustained BURNS of some kind.
You will ALSO notice, that if you go to Jordan Sather’s Twitter timeline, that he was all over this stuff, covering it from the “classified science” / “free energy” angle. Indeed, he remains fully into this story, and his latest video on it is here:
Jordan’s video is actually a GREAT summary of the FACTS of the Columbus incident, as well as discussing possible theories of what larger contexts might be behind it. Jordan ends by giving a good overall context for the “free energy” community – which I’m not a part of, but with which I’m somewhat sympathetic, due to OTHER problems with hidden, controlled, and pay-for-play science. Stated another way, Jordan and I both see the “Fake Science” – we just have different skepticisms and different priorities on what needs to be fixed.
NOW – the first thing that struck me about this “nuclear incident” – once I realized that it (a) wasn’t actually nuclear, and (b) was in the northwest corner of Columbus – was that the TIMING and LOCATION were very curious.
The incident happened to be right in the district of an Ohio state senator, Stephanie Kunze, who in 2019 has been and STILL IS being mercilessly targeted over a “NUCLEAR” BILL in the Ohio state legislature. The bill was known as HB 6 at all stages of passage.
Yes, that bill is now PASSED, but it is STILL being fought over, as Democrats continue an impeachment-like warpath against it, trying to keep it from being implemented. There are bitter, phony, deceptive, petition drives going on RIGHT NOW, and the DEMONRATS, as usual, are playing quite dirty.
If I couldn’t convince you that Three Mile Island might well have been Soviet sabotage assisted by American communists, look no further than the AMAZINGLY overwrought opposition to HB 6.
Why, it’s almost like they want – desperately – to GIVE AWAY our nuclear capabilities.
The Democrats characterized HB 6 as a “nuclear bailout”, whereas the MAGA forces characterized the bill as providing JOBS and significantly lower, IN-STATE-GENERATED, energy costs.
After earlier WINNING trickery by Democrats, at the local level, getting Ohioans to pay MORE for OUT-OF-STATE GREEN ENERGY CREDITS (not even green energy – just CREDITS that may or may not be actual “green” energy), the passage of HB 6 was a HUGE REVERSAL. It was a HUGE defeat for the Democrats and China. They CANNOT get their California and New York energy insanity to sell in Ohio.
SIDEBAR – see this earlier coverage of how the Democrats were able to fool a Trump-supporting Ohio community into becoming part of the Green New Deal.
Senator Kunze was VIGOROUSLY super-PACced by both sides of the issue, with Ohio residents in her district getting many huge fliers from both sides. Democrats are still doing everything in their power to stop HB 6, and are even now taking a “pro-jobs” position against it, if you can believe their LIES and their CHUTZPAH. Check out this “reverso” ad:
Sure looks like that is from the MAGA side – right?
WRONG!
Just check out the website and look for all the “tells” that this is the Democrats shilling for the GREEN NEW DEAL. LINK: https://takeyourpowerbackohio.com/
The MAGA”yes” side has smartly linked the “no” side to CHINA – who benefits from the insanity of the Green New Deal, and the Democrats wasted no time in – you guessed it – labeling the criticism of China as “RACIST”!
I cannot find any images of the flyers specifically targeting Stephanie Kunze, but trust me – there were MANY from both sides – MORE from the Democrat side – in her majority Republican district. Lots of CHILDREN (both sides), lots of DRIVEWAYS (the “pro” side), lots of STEAMING NUCLEAR PLANTS LOOKING LIKE THREE MILE ISLAND (the “no” side). All of them pleading for voters to plead to Senator Kunze to “do the right thing”.
ANYWAY – I hope by this point that I’ve convinced you of the following facts:
All things NUCLEAR constitute a hot-button issue in Ohio
The Democrats are VIGOROUSLY anti-nuclear, pro-Green New Deal
Pro-nuclear-&-coal House Bill 6 has PASSED, but is still in danger of “petition death”
Legislative attacks continue against Ohio nuclear and HB 6, FOR the Green New Deal
Stephanie Kunze has supported HB 6, but is often a SWING VOTE on all issues
The phony “nuclear reactor” incident happened in Stephanie Kunze’s district
The phony “nuclear reactor” incident happened in the middle of petition games
Are you starting to see how this stuff is working?
Well, before we get into some of the FINER POINTS of what the Democrats are targeting here – AND THERE IS A LOT – I want to point out something VERY interesting.
December 5 just happened to be the date of the Ohio Republican Christmas party, held this year in….
COLUMBUS OHIO. At some place called The Bluestone, 583 E. Broad St.
SO – by this point, I hope that I’ve convinced you that this was VERY LIKELY a stealthy psychological operation set up and then carried out in “Sgt. Schultz” fashion by Democrat operatives, their unions – which would include the same ones that forced a Trump rally to downsize from 4000 to 1000 at the last minute in Columbus in 2016 – and the Fake News Media – including the DESPERATELY anti-Trump, anti-MAGA, pro-greeniac Columbus Dispatch.
Yeah – THIS rally:
Remember – Democrats, like all leftists, PRETEND NOT TO KNOW.
Now – I think it’s very helpful to dig more deeply into this incident, because the proximity to some other things like December 9 and the [D] [1-6] shootings tells me that the Democrats were doing WAY more than just fighting Ohio nuclear and trolling the Ohio GOP by staging this ridiculous hoax during the Ohio GOP’s 2019 Christmas Party.
I think that one of the hypotheses that Jordan Sather was looking at – that this may have been some kind of discrediting psy-op – is also very likely – and I think that it’s quite likely that the target is Q followers very much like Jordan, or even, say, people who have sites talking about things like “Nuclear MAGA” and maybe named “The U Tree”.
Now I’m not a particular fan of “free energy”, figuring that I was highly trained in the idea that “no free lunch” is in fact a powerful tool of natural scientific discernment. However, I am a believer in the reality of technologies more advanced than our own, and thus of things like Bob Lazar physics, a richer periodic table, working UFOs, extraterrestrials, and those sorts of things. So yes – this could be useful for discrediting ALL of us who think “there is there there” in new and hidden science.
To see that QAnon “followers” are being actively discredited by the collapsing Democrat worldview, just look at the little tiff the next day between President Trump and the Failing New York Times, in which the word BASELESS figured prominently.
A follower of the baseless QAnon conspiracy theory killed a Gambino mob boss in Staten Island because he thought the man was part of "the deep state" scheming against President Trump. His defense lawyers say that makes him legally insane. https://t.co/VZbvvfMVG3
If you’ve followed my prior comments on the New York Times and QAnon, you know that I believe the Times is PAINFULLY aware of the “reality” of QAnon – whatever that means as far as a PSY-OP goes – and that the leftists at Fake News NYT are simply PRETENDING NOT TO KNOW.
Now – let’s get edgy. I can’t give you all the details – but I can play some reality games BACK at these loathsome hoaxers.
The QAnon / Gambino / Staten Island / hit job thing is actually very interesting to me. Not only is Speaker Gambino – WHOOPS – I mean Speaker d’Alesandro – WHOOPS – I mean Speaker Pelosi connected to this stuff – it turns out that I AM TOO.
Yes. There was a very interesting point where people with Italian names – well, sometimes just maiden names – and in some cases connections to Staten Island – became involved in certain delicate matters, back in the days when the whole CA3 thing was in search of closure that I wasn’t so willing to oblige.
Do any Democrats remember what I’m talking about? I strongly suspect that the “White Hats” do, and might be willing to refresh memories at the right moments.
Anyway, Mr. Comello – whose name is not the same name as Comey but makes me wonder – seems a lot like somebody I remember. Perhaps the technologies are a bit more advanced now, but still – I have strong suspicions that his victim, Mr. Cali, might have known things about “the old days”, and that could prove very dangerous, since March of 1981 was an unfortunate time for more people than just me.
Enjoy the show. I’m expecting many interesting things to become known.
Let me leave everybody with a viral idea. Speaking of the New York Times.
Gunpowder is to burning wood, what artificial irrational mental states are to natural, random mental illness.
Come on – think about it. What if SOME had it, but MOST didn’t even know it was there?
And people published books to deny it. From – OH – maybe Fake News New York Times journalists.
Cybernetics can be abused. Get used to that world. You’ve been living in it a lot longer than you think. Most of you were BORN INTO IT. Because if you don’t know about the holy grail, and everybody LIES to the world that the holy grail was never achieved, just think of what POWER that would give those who HAD the holy grail – and others weren’t even allowed to speculate that people HAD IT.
And what do you know – we’re back to the beginning of THIS story.
W
Didn’t Creamer or one of his lieutenants say something about using mental patients?
Why, I think he did. At 13:50 in this sucker.
Kinda like “fire sticks” were to the Indians. Gunpowder was almost like magic.

Visual Descriptions for our dear Zoe, and for anyone else who may find them helpful: Header and First Image: Is an enormous Tree standing alone in a clearing with a giant door built into the base of the trunk. A lone figure is approaching the doorway. There are patches of moss and small leafy branches emerging up and down the gnarled trunk. Second Image: Is an interior room with vaulted ceilings and arched throughways. There is a sturdy-looking couch with throw pillows and nearby armchairs. Behind the couch is a table and chairs…and there are additional seating groups in the adjacent spaces. Third Image: President Trump is walking outdoors and giving a short wave, with his arm out shoulder high. He has a solemn look of resolve on his face.
During the Christmas season, one of the food traditions of our family has always been the Pecan Log. It is still a guilty pleasure of ours, to this day:
Yes, I know…it’s full of all those things we’re supposed to deny ourselves.
Sorry, not sorry.
So…what is your Favorite Guilty Pleasure during the Holidays?
