This Night before Daughn Thursday 20200102 Open Thread is Open – 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.
They tried to FORCE fake Orwellian civility on us. In response, we CHOOSE true civility to defend our precious FREEDOM from THEM. Our rules began with the civility of the Old Treehouse, later to become the Wolverinian Empire, and one might say that we have RESTORED THE OLD REPUBLIC – the early high-interaction model of the Treehouse – except of course that Q discussion is not only allowed but encouraged, and speech is considerably freer in other ways. Please feel free to argue and disagree with the board owner, as nicely as possible.
Please also consider the Important Guidelines, outlined here in the January 1st open thread. Let’s not give the odious Internet Censors a reason to shut down this precious haven.
SPEAK THE FIVE WORDS BOLDLY TO OUR PRESIDENT! “I AM PRAYING FOR YOU!“
Also remember Wheatie’s Rules: •1.No food fights. •2.No running with scissors. •3.If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone .
Well it’s back to business and I’m sure that behind the curtain Democrats and Republicans are planning their strategies when the House and Senate is in full swing next week.
First order of business is scamimpeachment. Senate leader McConnell is going to SLAM this farce and send the Traitorous Democrats packing ( if Pelosi doesn’t come to her senses and realize her party is digging their own grave ).
The impeachment trial in the U.S. Senate will not have witnesses — but after evidence is presented, the Senate immediately will vote to acquit the President
That’s just in the first weeks of January 2020 and it’s shaping up to be one hell of a ride!
WOOHOO! WE GOTS DA TRUMP GRAVITY!!!
All aboard
Y’all forgot tell me it’s a new day🙃🙃🙃.
Luv this!
I love it too!
😁
Power Tie makes some great videos!
Welcome to 2020!!!

If one scrolls down the comments on the twitter link, there is a photo apparently of Miley Cyrus with JEFFREY EPSTEIN in one of the replies.
Here’s that full comment, since it was cut off:
.
I think that “feel betrayed” comment means, that PDJT was privy to a lot of inside stuff…because these people considered him to be ‘one of them’.
He knows a lot.
It’s not that he has ‘betrayed’ any of them yet…they are just living in fear that he will.
Yep, POTUS used to go to all their parties and he was sober, so I’m sure he’s heard it all.
Milano was a child star. DeNiro must have MAJOR problems. Midler is definitely scared of what’s coming after her tweet last week. Behar’s closet must be pretty nasty too. The most rabid have the most to hide/lose.
Yes, exactly.
They are lashing out at him, trying to villainize him, before he’s even done anything.
That way, if he does ever reveal any of their dirty secrets…they will claim that it’s all “lies” and that he’s doing it because of what they said about him.
It won’t work, though!
Our VSG is too smart to fall into their little trap.
He has plenty of surrogates who could reveal their dirty deeds, if he wants to.
Plus, there will be all kinds of proof…
Could be one reason you rarely see any Hollywood types at the WH, unlike the Obama years.
Which makes you wonder what Ron Howard did. He was born in.
I always did wonder how some of those people actually got work.
I would suspect being born in just puts you at the front of the line to apply to debase one’s self for fame; it doesn’t exempt you.
Sort of like the express line at the airport TSA.
Could be.
Don’t forget Cher.
Those that yell the loudest. I think they know that Trump knows. Light it up!!!
Hmmmmm interesting thread
Funny you should mention this. I got blocked by Paul Serran for making a mild suggestion that this kid was being set up.
Serran came down on me like a ton of bricks. Told me the kid pleaded guilty. I replied so did Gen Flynn, and that the kid was only 15 and autistic.
A few people agreed, and next thing I know, I was blocked by this big Q account.
Also, why are these articles making the rounds again when they were published in 2018?
Something is about to break, methinks.
Wow, worth a read for sure
ROARING 2020!!
Dow 30K?
It’s almost there now.
And 32K doesn’t seem that far away either.
Part of the reason is foreign investors see this great economy…and figure their money is safer here than anywhere else.
It would’ve already surpassed 30k had they passed USMCA a year ago and the Fed lowered their stupid high rates. 😡

Of course, a large Mag-Lite would get the job done.

and don’t forget Low-retta Lynch’s project the global police project through the UN
… Boiled down to its essence, the SCN is actually a new law-enforcement body whose laws will govern participating cities, including New York, Atlanta, Denver, and Minneapolis, that have already signed on as members. Law-enforcement measures for these cities will dovetail with or emanate from the Institute for Strategic Dialogue and the United Nations, not from the U.S. Constitution and locally elected officials and the laws governing them. In her remarks at the unveiling of this new organization, Attorney General Lynch claimed that the new arrangement would work toward being “an alliance of nations” and would aspire to be “a global community.”

No way will POTUS allow this!!
Agree. Imagine all the plans they had for the Killary prez run….
But I do wonder if the powder keg in Va is going to be their last gasp? Try to ignite it and the UN attempts to intervene? It will never get past the gate with PTrump at the helm though
Yeah, I don’t expect he will either.
No way we’ll allow this either. I almost feel sorry for those blue helmeted goons if they so much as try. It won’t even be fair…
Time to cut off all US funds to the UN!
The Dems may think that they can use a foreign paramilitary force to come in and violate the Constitutional Rights of US citizens…but they are mistaken.
This will not end well for them.
😠🤬
They’re stupid and pumped up on their pseudo shadow presidency program.
.
This would start a war. We would have our military do a real coup on these people. The UN cannot assemble any military or police force in our country. Now, would Canada or Mexico allow it? I wonder. But I find this leads to more questions about the timing of the ad, the job location, etc than just being listed. No loyalty to the UN over the US will end well for anyone.
That would be SO AWESOME.
Seems like a great topic to ask the D-Rat clown car candidates. Do they support the UN DDR operating on US soil, enforcing UN mandates, regulations?
– Make the democrat socialist take a public stand on this BS.
Seems like a slam dunk with a court challenge.
US UN Ambassador, Kelly Craft ought to be raising hell about this. Since her confirmation, have heard little to nothing of her.
– Kelly Craft collecting a pay check and doing nothing?
– OR, silently slaying BS UN programs and neutering UN initiatives.
– Thoughts?
DDR, IF it is anything like the UN announcement vaguely implies, WILL FAIL hugely under President Trump’s “America First” position.
Finally, shit like this will embolden Second Amendment Sanctuary Counties And Cities.
AND, as I have posted, UN anything “forces” and DDR goons would be decimated by everyday Americans. Required logistics makes UN forces/DDR impotent on US soil.
Also as posted previously, the fucking UN really, really needs to be disbanded.
– Maybe this wll emerge as a signature effort in President Trump’s second term.
This!!!^^^
What is it with all the black eyes?
Old age, frailty, bicycle accidents, alcohol and drug use, illness, risky athletic and entertainment choices. And….Harry got his ass beat too.
Maaaybe.
But what’s weird is…they all seem eager to be ‘seen’ with their black eyes.
They’re not trying to hide behind sunglasses…or just staying out of view for a few days till it goes away.
It’s bizarre.
Right?! I’ve been around the block a few times and a lot of those blocks were inhabited by some rough and tumble peeps and I honestly can’t recall anyone having a shiner like those…with no other injuries. It’s weird
Yep, and there is a uniformity to these black eyes…almost like they were created with some sort of ‘tool’.
There have been more celebrity shiners than the ones pictured here in this grouping.
And a lot of them look like the shiners on Prince Phillip and Pete Rose.
It’s just…weird.
Well, it would seem the majority got it in the left eye and a few took it on the nose( 2 black eyes). No southpaw swinging imo
trumpismine
Methinks that you are on to “something”.
Dan Bongino has had one lately.
Bongino’s was different. He got it while doing wrestling/martial arts, and it was more of a bruise than a black eye. It was his right eye, too. I do not suspect him of being part of the cabal, at all.
Nor do I…. I just noticed it and it was never explained.

Rods from God????
Iran is prone to earthquakes, and they often have weirdly off-the-charts casualty counts. As an example, the 10/17/89 Loma Prieta quake in the San Francisco Bay area was a 6.9 and had 63 deaths. By contrast, On 12/26/03, Bam, Iran (a far less populated area) had a 6.6 that resulted in 26,271 deaths.
Why such a huge disparity? Building codes. Unreinforced mud-brick construction is a deathtrap in earthquakes. If you look at casualty rates per capita in the two regions, it just looks horrific.
Earthquakes in the area are due to interaction between the Arabian Plate and Eurasian Plate which is forming the Zagros Mountains.
Yes, Iran does get earthquakes.
They usually occur along a line parallel to the plate boundary that runs along the western edge of the country, near the coast.
I’ve noticed this because I check the Earthquake Map every day.
Been doing this for years, since OK started getting quake clusters.
This particular quake is quite a distance from Iran’s west coast quake area.
It hit over in a hilly desert area.
“….a hilly desert area.”
Hilly? As in a weapons bunker type hill?
One of the places my EX was stationed had a large ‘Hill’ with major fencing, armed guards and SHEEP grazing…. Don’t want any sparks in the area. 😁
That is a really nice road for out in the middle of nowhere…
That second tweet picture looks like it’s from the Alaska quake:
.
The picture in the first tweet doesn’t look like Iran either.
Iran does get snow.
11 February 2019 Bad weather in Iran: dead and injured reported
Photo series: Winter in Iran – Snowball fighting in Kerman City
Hmmm, President Trump TW yesterday, “This is not a warning, it is a threat”.
Coincidence? Nah, not buying a coincidence.
Betting something significant to Iran military, or illicit oil sales (violating sanctions) in the neighborhood. Perhaps a twofer;-)

Good Morning, TrumpIsMine and fellow Q Treepers! Happy New Year to all.
We’ve had many military families as guests over the holidays, striking in their number. Maybe the raises are helping them to travel home to see moms and dads. Let’s hope so. Always good to have a soldier in the house.
Been catching up on the videos of Bannon’s broadcast of War Room, highly recommended. They’ve had Peter Navarro on for several episodes talking econ, China, and domestic policy of globalist versus – looking out for America, which makes people like us salivate.
Additionally, Bannon’s sidekick is the Breitbart editor for London, Raheem Kassam, who was Nigel Farage’s right arm for Brexit.
I never knew it, but Kassam was in Ukraine in 2013 when everything fell. WOW!!!!!! So, I’ve been like a pig in slop, rolling around and enjoying the backstory of Ukraine.
Hope everyone had a good New Year. It’s time to “power up” for the elections of 2020. The boss will need our help and we will be there!
Love to all!
Top of the morning Daughn🌅
Happy New Year, Daughn! May God continue to bless you and yours in 2020!
Raheem Kassam was one of the young guys re-starting Human Events that kept up the Ann Coulter lie about NO NEW WALL miles built. Not sure about Bannon after the Alabama election fiasco – or Kassam.
Oh, it’s awesome.
Just listened to one with Matt Gaetz, diagramming what a Senate Trial would look like and problems with RINO Senators.
Another one had Rand Paul, FISA abuse and attempts to call the Whistleblower.
Another one had a report from conference in Doha, Qatar, where Steve Mnuchin Ivanka, bunch of our people were attending, trying to stop Muslim Brotherhood but break the Gulf traffic open again.
It was terrific.
Raheem, Bannon, Chamberlain, et al are gifted people. I just hope their motives/hearts are in the right place.
We are always suspicious.
But right now, and over the last three months of “Shampeachment” these boys have been ON FIRE!!!!!!!!
They had Jenny Beth on too, Tea Party Queen.
Good stuff, pace is quicker than a Rush or Sean radio show.
Well done and great guests.
Pete Navarro was incredible.
daughn, many thanks for the head’s up…your recommendation is v helpful.
Happy New Year to you and Thomas !
Best wishes to your house, Nor’easter!
Happy New Year!

New York UN Office Recruits Paramilitary Troops for ‘Disarmament’ and ‘Reintegration’ of US Civilians
The job requires experience “in disarmament affairs, political analysis or in national military or paramilitary service”
https://nationalfile.com/new-york-un-office-recruits-paramilitary-troops-for-disarmament-and-reintegration-of-us-civilians/
saw that story on several sites yesterday. I cannot believe our Constitution or our laws (let alone POTUS) would allow any foreign entity (not our government) to amass any sort of troops or army on our soil–that would effect our sovereignty…
ERRRrrrr, they already have…. for PRACTICE.
There is even an agreement with Canada that Canadian troops can come onto American soil and ‘help’ if there is ‘civil unrest’
Obama Surrenders U.S. Sovereignty: His INTERPOL Executive Order

I also have archived a ton of stuff on Obama’s militarization and take over of the local police. Of course that is all now to President Trump’s advantage.

Remove * in front of links to make them ‘live’
I place an asterisk in front of many of my links so I can reference where I get my information from. That way I do not get booted into the Spam bin.
right…but as you stated this was sponsored by the State Dept and executed by the Dept of Defense…this is not some third party arbitrarily deciding on their own they can start their own military here…
Oh, I agree.
However I would not put it past Governor Babykiller to invite them in. It is pretty darn obvious by now that the Democrat governors have declared their ‘independence’ from the Trump government.
We will see if the DemonRats are going to push the issue or not.
As I have said before, the plans were made well ahead of time for a HILLARY presidency and I think the actual brains behind those plans are gone. Now the minions are carrying out the plans despite the fact President Trump is in office.
I think they thought by now they would have ousted President Trump and regained control of the Federal Government.
Ooops! …CBS stepped in it, bigtime.
They were doing a segment on Congressman John Lewis and his battle with cancer.
But they used a picture of Congressman Elijah Cummings for Lewis!
When Rep. Cummings died one of the networks posted a picture of John Lewis. I’m not sure if it was CBS.
The truth is that they do look very much alike.

Those are Uyghur horses. (title in left corner at beginning of clip.)
I think they may be horses that were confiscated from the Uyghurs that the Chinese government has ‘disappeared’ Remember that due to the African Swine Flu AND the US tariff squeeze the Chinese are low on protein. Horse meat is nice lean meat according to the French. (That is where most of the meat from horses that were slaughtered in the USA went BTW. To France.)
HERE IS WHY I THINK THAT
First that is a very very large herd. Too large for a group of Uyghurs who live in a harsh land and who also must provide pasture for cattle, sheep and goats.
According to the most current Chinese Census there are 8.68 million Uyghurs
Uyghur Muslims: Victims of the World’s Largest Ethnic Cleansing.

So, that’s where the old saying ‘he got his goat’ came from…
Gee and here I thought it meant and illegal trespassed and stole one of my goats.
Actually, “he got his goat” comes from an ancient practice among horse breeders and trainers. When you go off to a racetrack and/or horse show, your horse — which is normally a herd animal — will be kept in an unfamiliar stall in confusing conditions among dozens of horses not of his herd. This tends to make the horse disoriented, uncomfortable, and nervous — and not in a position to show well or win races. Accordingly, you bring a stable-mate along from home to keep your horse company. The ideal stablemate would be herbivorous, small, and will eat anything — so, usually, it’s a goat.
If you were a competitor and thought a race with your horse might be close, you might send some of your guys over to the other barn and abscond with the goat while the other horse was out practicing. Coming back from the session and finding his companion missing would be very traumatic, and cause the horse a sleepless, worried night. After the race, you merely let the goat loose somewhere in the neighborhood and it would generally find its way back to the right stall.
I know a horse breeder who specializes in a particular rare breed of horses. One of her mares got loose one time and ended up in a neighbor’s goat pen, where she quite happily considered herself Queen of All the Goats.
Cool story! Thanks!
For use when your fascist Dem acquaintances need reminding just what a pathological liar Obama was. I expect we’ll see many clips from his time in office during the 2020 election campaign – good fodder for us, but they make one’s blood boil. Note especially when he switches to his grating, snarky “folksy” style.
The good Lord knows I hope POTUS will eventually expose who this imposture was, and how the Dems got him in office. Someone knows!

Repost re: Øbama’s spying:
Obama abused the powers and privilege of his office from day one – politicizing and weaponizing every agency of government – as many have documented!
One of his favorite ways of doing this was WARRANTLESS SURVEILLANCE.
Ø surveilled/spied on anyone and everyone he wanted!
The Press – https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/right-turn/wp/2013/05/20/shredding-the-constitution-obamas-attack-on-the-associated-press/?utm_term=.132867cdc4a7
Congress – https://www.redstate.com/streiff/2017/03/05/flashback.-remember-obama-used-nsa-spy-congress/
Ø also spied on foreign leaders – even heads of state. Remember, he spied on Merkel?
Obama spied on Trump campaign – https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/999878016766361600.html
There may have been some means of spying on President Trump in the Oval Office – by SIGINT (signal electronic intelligence) and/or HUMINT (human intelligence, leaks).
Remember the phone conversation with the foreign leader that leaked?
Remember when the Secret Service advised Trump to have renovations made to the Oval Office for security purposes?
That was when Øbama’s wallpaper was removed and new wallpaper was put up. Bet they took the walls back down to the wooden plaster lathes.
Obama’s Illegal warrantless surveillance was not limited to the Trump campaign, or the press, or congress.
There was a dramatic rise in warrantless surveillance during the O years – so much that it alarmed even the leftist ACLU:
Obama changed the law twice (2013 & 2017) to make it easier to conduct warrantless data gathering:
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/jan/12/obama-us-intelligence-greater-access-warrantless-data-foreign-targets
*http://www.nytimes.com/2013/07/07/us/in-secret-court-vastly-broadens-powers-of-nsa.html
85% of Obama’s warrantless surveillance searches were illegal: P 82 – https://www.dni.gov/files/documents/icotr/51117/2016_Cert_FISC_Memo_Opin_Order_Apr_2017.pdf
Regarding spying on Trump – The FISA warrants were merely window-dressing! Øbama was likely surveilling Trump and his family, team, et al, without a warrant for a year at least, probably longer.
When Nunes busted them – it all came out! We are just beginning to learn about the crimes committed by this lawless and unqualified traitor in the White House from 2008-2016.
I vaguely remember POTUS tweeting they found “gold” in the walls when they renovated…
The gold being one of the metals used to build bugging devices.
And yes there was a discussion of it OT and on Reddit and probably the Chans.
thanks…I didn’t know that about gold…you’re a font of information!!
I like to read and have a good memory. Unfortunately I am not blessed with Mom’s photographic memory. She could recite a book she had read word perfect! So I take notes. 🤗

IIRC, it was the private office that was renovated in the week after the inauguration where “gold” was found. Word was the walls were taken down to the studs.

Homeland Security taking a long look at the state laws allowing illegals to get driver’s licenses using foreign documentation.
FTA
Chad Wolf, the acting secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), ordered a review of state laws that allow illegal aliens to obtain driver’s licenses and restrict data sharing with federal immigration authorities.
Wolf on Tuesday ordered all of the components of DHS to conduct a department-wide review of the state laws to determine how they affect their day-to-day operations, according to a memo obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation. The DHS chief’s directive indicates he is prepared to take aim against the state laws.
snip
In New York, in particular, numerous county clerks have expressed reservation over the fact that illegal aliens can obtain a driver’s license with foreign documentation — arguing that such a policy paves the way for voter fraud, identity theft, and even terrorism. DHS had already voiced its opposition to a provision in the New York law that prohibits Homeland security Investigations, a division of ICE, from accessing DMV information — even if the agency is investigating serious crimes.

5. They HATE AMERICAN INFANTS (but LOVE foreign children.)
6. They HATE Americans (especially Jews and Christians.)
The fact that Democrat voters have not woken up and realized this means they are mentally ill.

Tumbleweeds are an invasive species…not native to N. America.
The seeds for them were brought over in the seeds that settlers brought with them.
It gets worse…they can even pile up on your house:
http://lh6.ggpht.com/-m6DElnV9_-E/UuqKZRAm-yI/AAAAAAAADcU/dzUKtZj9fbA/tumbleweed_thumb%25255B1%25255D.png
.
Attack of the Killer Tumbleweeds!
😄🤪
Tumbleweeds were originally known as Russian Thistle.
When the seeds mature, the attachment to the root withers. As the tumbleweed rolls, it can shed fertile seeds for a hundred miles.
When they pile up on something, they’re tinder. If anything sets them alight, they can burn their way through the barrier. The seeds will still be fertile.
To control – must cut them while they are green.
They’re a real hazard during wildfires.
They catch fire easily…and the wind can pick up the burning fireballs and roll them a long way.
Picture an army of burning tumbleweed fireballs rolling your way.
Not good!
Our wonderful WSDOT has money for bike paths and carpool lanes but not for T-weed control until it’s an emergency.

Tiffany Harris — arrested and released twice in three days after being charged in separate misdemeanor assaults in Brooklyn, including on a trio of Orthodox Jewish women — was arrested a third time on New Year’s Eve.
Harris was picked up by New York City Sheriff’s deputies at a Brownsville, Brooklyn, hotel on an arrest warrant issued earlier Tuesday after she allegedly failed to comply with court-ordered monitoring, officials said.
She had allegedly blown off an appointment with social workers at Brooklyn Justice Initiatives, which runs a supervised release program that helps defendants make their court dates and connect with such services as drug treatment and mental health counseling.

Did they release her again?
She sure is the “Poster Woman” for Deblasio’s latest brain fart.
the released her twice and then she blew off her counseling appointment so they considered her a fugitive and arrested her again…
And released her again the third time? I wouldn’t put it past them.😉
yup—one more time thru the revolving door!
Klobuchar hinting, that as President, she might be convinced to release “older information” about UFOS to the public so we can all have some questions answered…
FTA
It was a wide-ranging interview covering most of the usual topics of the day, including a claim from Klobuchar that she feels she’s “well-positioned” to win the nomination and defeat Donald Trump next November. But toward the end of the Q&A she was hit with a somewhat more obscure question that she had declined to answer a few months ago. Has she looked into the reports of US Navy encounters with alleged UFOs and what does she make of all this? It turns out she has and she suggested that, as president, she would investigate whether or not some of that information could be disclosed to the public. (Hat tip to Paul Seaburn at Mysterious Universe.)

King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella must be spinning.
The good old days.
While I wished some posters here a Happy New Year, I hope that everyone at the QTree has a happy, healthy and prosperous 2020!
I have very much enjoyed visiting this site. What a splendid community of like-minded souls!
There are some who wonder if this is the beginning of a new decade. As the Queen said it was in her Christmas Day address, then who am I to argue?
Video below:
https://churchmousec.wordpress.com/2019/12/26/christmas-2019-speech-the-queen-looks-forward-to-a-new-decade/
With that, a Happy New Decade to all! 🙂
hiya churchmouse!!
Happy New Year to you too!
hope all is well with you!
know things are hopping where you are right now, so we don’t see you posting much…but we miss you! and welcome your insights!!
Thank you, Pat — much appreciated! 🙂
Yes, everything is fine. I hope to be able to manage my reading a bit better this year. The Q Tree and a few British sites are keeping me busy, that’s for sure.
Had no idea the British political situation would become as intense as America’s.
Happy New Decade to you ChurchMouse!!!
Congratulations in Advance on your successful BREXIT!!! 👏👏👏
Thank you very much!!
Prayers for the 31st!!
Churchmouse ! So good to ‘see’ you here…
wishing you a Happy New Year and a New Decade !
and a clean Brexit !
Thank you kindly — greatly appreciated! 🙂
A clean Brexit will be hugely historic. We’re all eagerly waiting for the 31st!
metoo!
Technically it’s not the beginning, as the first decade would have run from 1 through 10 A.D. (there being no year zero), so following that through decades start with the year ending in a 1 and end at the end of the following year ending in a 0.
Not that anyone actually cares about this; the informal “80s” “90s” nomenclature clearly references the second to last digit. No one talks of the 202nd decade (which is what this is).
Centuries work similarly; but people are much more likely to reference, e.g., the 20th century as opposed to the 1900s. So I thought of it as: 1900s = 1900-1999, 20th century 1901-2000.
Yes, I remember this from the Millennium — the first time I ever heard such a rationale.
I was glad to see the Queen say otherwise, I must admit.
Going back 20 years, though, isn’t it odd, then, that the bug (I was part of such a software project) was to occur in 2000 rather than 2001? 😉
Not being sarcastic, just saying. I do think some of these pedants blow smoke up our fundaments.
The bug was because the odometer was flipping over, and people were worried code would compare 00 to 99 and say (reasonably) that someone born in 00 was older than someone born in 99. The fix was to make sure all years were represented as four figures, rather than just two.
That’s a simple rollover hazard. But, carrying the analogy further…the odometer STARTED at 1, not zero.
The real source of the issue is that there wasn’t a concept of zero back then. Through the early middle ages, the phrasing would have been “The first year of our Lord”; that eventually got written down as 1, not 0, A.D.
For the same reason, in music a “Perfect fifth” is the FOURTH note after the tonic. They had no choice but to consider the tonic to be the 1st note back when they were naming things.
I understand what the bug was about. As I said, I worked on such a software project at the time.
‘The real source of the issue is that there wasn’t a concept of zero back then.’ Well, we have had a zero for many a year now, so isn’t it time we discarded the ancient idea of the beginning of a decade?
No, not really, because then the whole system starts with a nine year decade.
As I said I step around the issue by merely speaking of the 80s, 90s, 20s, etc. So this year is the first year of the 20s but it is still the last year of the 220th decade. Fortunately no one counts decades like that, but if they did…
Similarly, with centuries I put 00 at the start do by talking of the 1800s and 1900s. But I won’t say “19th century” if I mean to include 1800 and exclude 1900.
Thank you kindly for elaborating.
Oh, and sorry to explain the bug…but I’ve run into people who laughed at the whole thing on the grounds that the century was to begin in 2001–in other words they thought the bug had to do specifically with the century and millennium ending, not the numeral rolling over, thus they thought it was stupid to expect anything to happen 1 Jan 2000. I see now you explained that you actually worked on it; if I had noticed that before, perhaps I could have saved myself some typing.
(On the other hand, other people might benefit from the explanation…if anyone ever comes to this page ever again.)
True.
It’s always worth explaining it, anyway.
I get frustrated that people think it was a conspiracy theory or big laugh. It was far from funny at the time and took countless people around the globe to fix. I say that because of proprietary software from smaller companies.
Thank you again for your time.
Oh, I’ll add one more thing. I actually do know someone whose pager quit working on 1/1/2000.
You are absolutely right, it was a real issue. We did such a good job with preventative measures, though, that to the man in the street, it LOOKED like a nothingburger in retrospect.
By the so-called “logic” you are talking about, anti-dandruff shampoo must be unnecessary for Joe to use because he doesn’t have dandruff.
Exactly!!!
So well said. Thank you, Steve.
the beginning of this video has some really amazing similarities between the Texas shooting and the NZ shooting…the rest is about gun rights…
FTA
In New Zealand, the alleged perpetrator was Brandon Terrant and in Texas, the shooting took place in the county of Tarrant. In New Zealand, the city was Christchurch, and in Texas, the name of the church was West Freeway Church of Christ.
The motivation we are told of the alleged shooting in New Zealand was “white supremacism” and in Texas, the city’s name is “White Settlement.”
Additionally, the hometown of the alleged shooter in New Zealand was Grafton, Australia and there was also a stabbing just a day before the shooting in Texas by a perpetrator named Grafton Thomas.
https://gunsinthenews.com/did-anyone-else-notice-the-similarities-in-the-nz-shooting-story-the-texas-church-shooting/
Reminds me of the similarities between the Lincoln and Kennedy assassinations that we’re passed around for years.
watched the news this morning to catch the weather and i caught a story about NY farmers suing the federal gov’t (i think) over the farm workers bill. Apparently now farmers have to allow a day off, and overtime pay for farm workers after they were allowed to unionize.
so, I thought farm workers were all illegals and migrants and doing work regular people didn’t want to do. so now they can unionize, force higher pay and get benefits?? hmmm…you sure regular people don’t wanna do that?
been looking for an article to back up what I thought I saw, but no luck so far…
You want to see your farm/food prices go through the roof? Let the farm workers unionize!
As it is Monopsony* has meant, that while food prices have risen and so has cost of living the prices PAID to farmers has remained the same.
This has put a real squeeze on the independent farmers. For example the big boys (read China) now controls over 80% of the hogs in the USA (and that was from 2 decades ago.)
The whole idea is to move food production into the hands of the large Transnational Corporations.
*Control of the price paid for raw goods by only one corporation bidding.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
‘ The Socialist Revolution in the US cannot take place because there are too many small independent farmers there. Those people are the stability factor. We here in Russia must hurry while our government is stupid enough to not encourage and support the independent farmership.’— V. Lenin, the founder of the Russian revolution
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
IMPORTANT!
These are the highlights of my 11 pages of notes on the intentional destruction of US farming.
History, HACCP and the Food Safety Con Job goes into the start when the Milner Round Table, Committee for Economic Development, was officially established in 1942 as a sister organization to the Council on Foreign Relations targeted American farmers.
In its 1945 report “Agriculture in an Expanding Economy,” CED complained that “the excess of human resources engaged in agriculture is probably the most important single factor in the “farm problem’”” and describes how agricultural production can be better organized to fit to business needs.…
This doesn’t seem right – is it legal? this guy advertises that he helps government agencies campaign to law makers for the policies that they want the lawmakers to make/for the laws they want them to pass. So our tax money pays for the entrenched bureaucracy to campaign to lawmakers for the laws that they themselves want…???!!!

Remember the tale of Johnny Appleseed? DJT is reminding me of that as he tweets out comparisons that indicate which way the plan is going. His tweets are like apple seeds being tossed out.
If it’s bigger than Watergate, then DJT should treat it as a bigger thing. Translation: Showtime is coming!

duchess, have no problem w/Just dew it!
Yet just sos you know, a process called guttation is responsible for the droplets so visible in this excellent photo.
Grasses have a pore, or pores, which secrete excess water from their blades, often containing excess potassium and sugars…thus maintaining their healthy internal balances.
It’s quite fascinating…often confused w/”dew”.
Very fascinating, piper – a drop of grace for every living thing – God is great in His gifts – even the tiniest ones.
duchess, yes, folks who think such sophisticated provision is by chance are truly
misled and gullible…They have WAY more faith in believing such caca than it takes to simply grasp the truth. As St. Paul says: They are without excuse.
* Sigh *

Boy would I love to have one of those critters go after our fire ants!
I was out of Surrender (which seems to only make the ants change locations) and put out some diatomaceous earth on a couple of beds and it seems to have done the trick. I treated one at the base of a bay myrtle, and will let you know what happened to it next time I go out that way.
Oh boy…let us know for sure if it worked..I’ll try that on the ants in SC yard. They do seem to relocate with the other stuff I’ve tried
molly, it’s quite effective.
The deal w/nests is, the adults pick up the DE and take it back to the nests…where the abrasive surfaces of DE lacerate the larvae, thus defeating nest growth.
Often DE enters the joints of the adults, wreaking havoc on them also.
Greatstuff.
My Sister broadcasts it in her manure pile (she has horses), and it does a terrific job of killing off larvae.
DE is exoskeleton material from oceanic, calciferous organisms…used to clean pool filters due to it’s abrasive nature.
It’s GREAT for slug control, but needs refreshing if you live where it rains during gardening season.
This time around, it did not work.
Now it’s an even bigger nest.
So I gave it another heavy dose of diatomaceous earth and some HotShot ant killer powder on top of that.
At first I thought Surrender was doing the job (it’s very smelly) but they just moved. Amdro was the earlier supposed fire ant killer.
So far, nothing has been all that great.
