This SPECIAL ACQUITTAL Night before Daughn Thursday 20200206 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. Please Keep it 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
So kick back and relax and celebrate a little because this battle has been won but, remember were in a war and our goal is WINNING IN 2020!
I think Branco nailed it with this one:
LOL what I find funny is all the MSM keeps pushing ‘Trump’s SOTU TV Ratings Tank’ Ummmm I didn’t watch it on TV (I don’t even know if my TV still works) I watched online. So do many other people.
Liars gonna lie.
And same here re: how I watched it.
Good Morning, TIM!
Found something strange. DHS is not allowing global entry into New York, because NY won’t work with DHS and ICE.
HMMMMM….

Late tonight, Laura Ingraham announced China is willing to cut in half their 75 billion in tariffs on USA goods.
In exchange for what?
In exchange for them saving face?? But seriously….Good question : I’m curious too….
I did notice during the SOTU – PDJT did again mention the ‘great friendship’ with them etc, it’s like a quiet signal in all of his messaging.
Maybe that’s why Feinstein packed up her purse at her desk when Schumer was speaking right after.
Read the transcripts…plural. Referring to the one still “hidden”?

devoted the same energy and anger to defeating a faltering Barack Obama as he sanctimoniously does to me, he could have won the election. Read the Transcripts!
I was reading on BB about Romney’s Bain Capital. I had no idea. But truth be told when he was running I kind of tuned out.
Romney’s Bain Capital Profited Billions by Bankrupting American Workers
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/02/05/romneys-bain-capital-profited-billions-by-bankrupting-american-workers/
It was blatantly obvious Romney was throwing the race to Obama. I was furious and so was the rest of America. But there was nothing we could do at the Federal level, so we punished the dims HARD on the down ballots at the state and local levels. 2012 was a wipeout on the down ballot for the DNC.
I wonder how/if Romney is tied to child trafficking or pedo crap via Epstein circles.
Heck, FG&C, he may have a spare wife or two tucked away somewhere.
Probably up to his Magic Underwear in the Pedo stuff.
Yeah he’s dirty
No hidden transcript. POTUS originally released July 25 transcript, which was of their 2nd phone call. He later released one of their first call from April, congratulating Zelensky, right after he won the election.
I meant the one of the IG testimony that is still in the basement
Gotcha.

Yeah this looks so healthy. I can’t believe people are just walking around breathing this stuff in.
Ugh the top one wasn’t supposed to post. Sorry about that!!!!!
I wonder what that is, that they are spraying?
No idea but that doesn’t look good at all.
No, it doesn’t.
If it is strong enough to Kill The Virus…then I would think that you wouldn’t want to inhale it!

They had video of drones as well. But yeah the cloud of whatever. And people running around. I’m shocked people aren’t dropping like flys after inhaling that stuff.

Good morning QTreepers – was up at the crack of dawn and what a stunning Day brake over Lac Léman (Lake Geneva). Am geared up for the trip back to the US and will be interesting to hear any ‘airport conversations’ as I fly Geneva to London… The Suisse are too polite to volunteer things until they know you so it will be a change of pace as the demographics change too.
Everyone have a glorious day- and thank you God for another day to make it right! 🙋🏻♀️🇨🇭
Have a safe trip!!!!
Thanks Kea!
be safe and stay alert—and have fun and report back!!!!!
Will do!! The flight hasn’t taken off – the strike in France delayed the equipment to Geneva….👀
OK, things are getting really really nasty in China. 😱
#1. the end of this paper by Dr James Lyons Weiler PhD. In the paper he shows there is a high probability the China virus was artificiality created.
#2. Tencent may have accidentally leaked real data on Wuhan virus deaths
#3 from Larry, keeping in mind the above information
https://twitter.com/IsChinar/status/1225180216223588352
#4. And finally from Mike at Natural News:
BRUTAL: Chinese Leaders to Sacrifice Coronavirus-Infected Cities to Save 11 Others; Prepared to Accept Millions of Fatalities
⬆️⬆️⬆️
That article by Mike plus the slipped real fatality numbers plus the welding of gates and doors, indicates the first article by James Lyons-Weiler, PhD is probably correct. China has a major disaster on it’s hands.
Make sure this gets on the corona thread!
I posted it there first but thought it was of general interest too.
It is going to have major economic repercussions.
AMEN to that!
I believe those figures from Tencent, way more than I believe the ChiComs’ “official” figures.
In dealing with the ChiComs…it’s always a matter of what they ‘say’ versus what they ‘do’.
So even though they’ve been saying “nothing to worry about”…
Their actions don’t support this.
The ChiComs have been acting like this is the scariest virus ever.
There was an article on TGP that said a company that keeps the stats might have leaked the real numbers.
Twitter video was showing people trying to escape these cities…
They are welding people shut into buildings???
My god.
An amazing meme arguing that “trans-parenting” and “trans-mania” are in fact forms of Munchhausen by proxy, which I have long argued.
I never thought of it like that….
I need to do a long post on this psychology. It’s well-understood by socialists.
And used liberally to “Crystalize Public Opinion” since the 1920s.
Here’s a related meme regarding their abusive tactic of claiming that everyone must submit to trans agenda demands in order to prevent suicides.
Ahhh…..the old “you made me do it” manipulation ploy, eh?
Sad that people actually fall for that crap.
“If you don’t do what I want then I’ll kill myself.”
Me: “Promise?”
Doesn’t work – they still commit suicides – because the surgery and hormones and changes of clothing still don’t heal the wounds in their souls.
Makes sense, the broke human projects on their child that they’re the broken one … so sad 😞
Ok could be a hiccup while moving on the train – but I had posted this (from the app) and it did an ‘error could not post’… sometimes the cellular is quirky when I get near the French boarder)
Not sure if this was in US News – but when I turned on to watch the Aquitmas proceeding yesterday 5pm CET… it wasn’t showing on CNN (I know but they were less interruptive all week) but they were reporting how in Turkey there was a plane that split in half on the runway (i believe taking off) and the newscaster (British) was commenting how this was the Second one In the last year…
I’m sure it’s an old plane or not a greater signal but just wanted to place it here….
Will try to find a link …

“If I Need to Move to Utah to Run Against Him, I Will!” – Laura Ingraham Calls on Mitt Romney to “RESIGN!” (VIDEO)
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/02/if-i-need-to-move-to-utah-to-run-against-him-i-will-laura-ingraham-calls-on-mitt-romney-to-step-down-video/
Laura won’t do it – Utah is a strange place. I couldn’t live there, since I know too much about Mormonism, Joseph Smith and Brigham Young and their other founders.
There is also a large Catholic population in Utah.
In general, I believe the Mormons are good people – politically they obviously run things their way.
Romney was a carpetbagger from Massachusetts. He fooled a lot of people, including the voters of 2012. It appears that he’s just as much Deep State and Swamp as McCain was. It’s why he is fighting to keep investigations from happening.
I’m sure POTUS regrets his support of Romney for 2016, Utah had a good guy, Dr. Kennedy to run, and I really don’t know how Romney pulled off the primary, when the State GOP and their convention had Romney losing.
The good thing… looking forward to Romney being exposed and forced out of office. Do not want him expelled from the party. Not good to lose the GOP vote. But pushed out of the Senate – that works.
I wrote about Romney in 2012, and shared it w/ Kennedy.

Congratulations. I wrote about Mitt Romney during the #GOP 2012 presidential primary. IMO, he remains “The Democrat in the Republican Trojan Horse” http://unifiedpatriots.com/2012/02/05/mitt-romney-the-democrat-in-the-republican-trojan-horse/
You will be a better choice for #MAGA
I also know too much about the current state and history and catechism, etc. of the (Rome-based) Catholic Church to ever be a Catholic.
Sadly, I haven’t found any protestant church, mainline or non-denominational, in my long life as a Christian that hasn’t had horrific scandal, leadership sin and/or corruption. I could tell you stories that would curl your hair.
All churches have faults.
Theology has been argued since the time of Christ….and before. It’s an ongoing process.
That’s why I keep it simple. As St. Vincent of Lerins said, “Hold to what has been believed always, by all and everywhere.” On The Basics, we can agree!
Th Church does not have fault. The men in Her do.
My advice is to ignore the faults of the men, learn history, read the mystics, and the classics. The push toward modernism has been a general fail.
GA/FL, neither have I. I do not like denominations. They always get corrupted, and I like an independent congregation. It’s more biblical
IMHO….it’s not important where your butt is on Sunday morning, what matters is where your heart and soul are every day 🤷
Be careful spreading that truth. Somebody could be triggered and then it would be all your fault.

This video like the 2020 SOTU address/evening – is just beautiful – so touching – full of promises made and promises kept, stunning achievements..
No wonder it engraged the corrupt greedy anti-American socialist brigade and their leaders – AOC, Tlaib, Pelosi and the rest.
No doubt Ø, H> and Romney hated it – due to jealousy and lots of guilt.

Guessing Brian Kolfage sees the ChiCom CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY unfolding in China.
AND, IF it isn’t contained to China, spreads big time around the globe, were facked.
IF folks are NOT prepping, within their abilities, they are foolish. Me thinks.
For a LATER date, the realities of ChiCom weaponizing current Corona strain. At this point, it needs to be contained. Stopped.
kalb,
At this point it can not be stopped.
HOWEVER, my thinking aligns with that of E.M. Smith and his group. What you want to do is SLOW DOWN the rate of transmission so it does not overwhelm the medical care facilities and hospital supply lines.
You can see that President Trump stepped in and has done this.
The original response of taking the person’s temp as they come off the plane was ABSOLUTE CRAP thinking. It was ALL OPTICS to comfort the sheeple while not inconveniencing the globalist businesses.
What you need is QUARANTINE! Unfortunately that horse is out of the barn and off to the races. However president Trump has done all he can to SLOW the rate of transmission.

That’s a favorite verse. All of Romans is essential to understanding the Way of the Lord. It opens with a bang – Chapter 1 describes the road to perdition – and the rest of Romans describes the Way of Life – Life in Christ who is Truth, Love and Life.

General Hayden must be a Deep State Communist. Hubby says he’s always been a jerk. Obama surrounded himself with commie/fascist generals and admirals. Got rid of almost all the good guys. Amazing that Admiral Rogers and General Flynn survived.
@BryanDeanWright
“Fmr CIA Director Hayden is expressing outrage this week that current CIA Director Haspel had the audacity to applaud Trump at his State of the Union address.
“I never did that! That wouldn’t be right!”
He did, however, feel it right to compare America to Nazi Germany.”
why wouldn’t it be right to applaud accomplishments of the country you serve???
Good point. Hubby says Hayden long known as a nasty guy.
Your Hubby is correct. I think it was WB Bill Benney who also exposed him for wasting billions going with bad NSA software instead of Binney’s programs, which they ultimately had to go to cause Hayden’s pick was a disaster. Hayden has always been a nasty NeverTrumper.
Oh, yeah, Hayden’s a member of the club. He’s a CNN guy. Unfortunately, he also has a brain, unlike Clapper.
I wanted to comment about VP Pence from the SOTU night. He was great. It appears that he knew what she was doing, maybe already had early warning – there are leakers everywhere. Pence never looked at Nancy throughout the whole speech, that means he had prepared and disciplined himself to keep his eye on POTUS. It’s not natural to never turn in that direction – unless deliberately focused – for a reason.
I liked what Pence said afterwards, “Didn’t know if she was tearing up the Speech or the Constitution.”
There’s a video of Nancy sneakily bringing the papers down out of site of the camera, where she is making the initial prep tears. Then this clip shows her dividing her papers into 3 piles – all in preparation. And, of course, she’s disrespectful at the end by not applauding the speech – bad manners as Speaker of the House…
@KristySwansonXO
Watch Nancy in this entire video. She knows
@realDonaldTrump’s speech is coming to a close, she separates her copy of the speech into 3 different stacks, then methodically puts them left, right & center. Why? To make sure every camera angle will capture what she is about to do!
right! not a spontaneous action–it’s premeditated–to grab the attention from POTUS.
There is real video showing her secretly making the early little tears out of sight of the camera – she did this prep work before the end of the speech. She also figured out her pile thickness that could be torn.
I do believe this bounces back on Pelosi bigtime.
see if this works…
That’s why she kept on shuffling papers and making faces during the speech!
May be this ..
https://wqth.wordpress.com/2020/02/06/dear-kag-20200206-open-thread/?replytocom=389626#respond
Pence’s demeanor, including his facial expression, was exactly right. Any glance on his part would have been caught by the cameras and would have been a distraction, and he knew that. There is no comparison between his behavior and Pelosi’s.
Ganswein was recently accused of holding Benedict hostage in his apartment. It looks like Bergoglio found a way to deal with the problem.
===
Francis Removes Archbishop Gänswein
“Bergoglio is alleged to have said to Gänswein: ‘I don’t want to see you anymore.’
https://gloria.tv/post/NbauQZ4YRNBS3Th2Ui3Kb1Y2v
Knee jerk reaction to bad publicity, IMO. Ganswein is known to be St. Gallen mafia.
Can you explain a little about the St. Gallen mafia and what they do?
The St. Gallen mafia is a group of prelates who started meeting in St. Gallen, Switzerland, in about 1996. This was when Joseph Bernardin, Cardinal in Chicago, was dying of pancreatic cancer. He was supposed to be the modernists’ pope, but died later that year.
The St. Gallen mafia are the progressives who rule like thugs, and Brogoglio is one of the younger ones. They are the heirs to a movement that started a couple hundred years ago to change that which cannot be changed. At any rate, they are the modernists who are currently making a mess of messaging and confusing the heck out of the faithful. The claims are that priestly celebacy in the Latin Rite will be put aside, and same sex unions blessed, etc. Yeah, no, not happening, but the messaging is such that it SEEMS like it will.
They are also responsible for trying to mix paganism in with actual teaching, and the conservatives and traditionalists are having a devil of a time sorting that out for the faithful.
We’ve survived stuff like this before. We’ll survive it again.
That helps; thank you. I know very little about any of it, but I had the impression that Ganswein was a loyal caregiver for Benedict.
That’s the impression he wanted to give. Reporting in the last couple of weeks indicates he was acting more as a keeper/jailer and kept correspondence from the Holy Father on a regular basis.
Bergoglio, sorry.
I’ve been following some bloggers who are chronicling all of it.

this article describes some of Bernie’s relationships with socialists worldwide…including a Russian spy…
FTA
“The documents from the Sanders archives include a letter from Soviet Embassy First Secretary Vadim Kuznetsov in March 1983, congratulating Sanders on his reelection as mayor and thanking Sanders for receiving him in Sanders’s office,” The Washington Post reported on Monday. “Kuznetsov had been in Burlington to attend a conference on nuclear disarmament at the University of Vermont a few days earlier. Neither Sanders nor conference organizers appear to have read a 1976 Time magazine article that identified Kuznetsov as a member of a ‘Soviet intelligence squad’ posing as diplomats to infiltrate U.S. politics.”
The TIME Magazine article that the Post linked to stated: “Posing as diplomats, embassy officials and newsmen, Soviet intelligence agents have been conducting a determined effort to get classified information on Capitol Hill by bribing or compromising staff members in key positions. TIME has learned that in more than a dozen cases in the last decade or so the FBI has stepped in to ‘control’ the relationship, fearing a staffer might begin giving out restricted data.”
snip
In 1988, Sanders traveled to the Soviet Union on his honeymoon and forged a “sister city” cooperation program there. Many believe he gave a rosy depiction of conditions there just a few years before the communist system collapsed.
Another potential area of vulnerability concerns Sanders’s relationship with socialist governments in Latin America. In 1985, Sanders, as mayor of Burlington, traveled to Nicaragua to meet with then-President Daniel Ortega, the leader of the Sandinista movement, which was aligned with the Soviet-backed Cuban regime of Fidel Castro. The Sandinista government was accused of widespread human rights abuses. The Reagan administration supported the contras, who were also accused of widespread abuses.
According to a newly revealed document from the archive, when Burlington resident Edward Pike wrote to Sanders in November 1985 to complain about his support for the Ortega regime, Sanders responded by defending Ortega’s clampdown on human rights, blaming the United States for funding Ortega’s opposition and comparing Ortega’s actions to the U.S. government’s internment of Japanese Americans during World War II.

speaking of photos…jurors in the Weinstein case were shown naked photos of the man during the trial. His accuser claims his body was, shall we say, irregular and perhaps the photos corroborate her testimony?
FTA
Jurors in Harvey Weinstein’s New York rape trial were shown naked photographs of the former Hollywood producer on Tuesday over his lawyers’ objections.
A sketch artist hired by Reuters saw a couple of the naked photos when they were passed to the jury and produced a drawing for the news agency. In the courtroom, prosecutors did not say why the photographs were introduced or how many were presented.
A photographer employed by the Manhattan District Attorney’s office testified that he took the pictures in June 2018.
Weinstein did not respond to reporters’ questions about what he thought of jurors viewing naked photos of him. Donna Rotunno, a lawyer for Weinstein, said in an email that the photos had been introduced for “no other reason than to shame Mr. Weinstein.”
Jessica Mann, a woman Weinstein is accused of raping, testified last week about the appearance of Weinstein’s naked body. She said that when she first saw Weinstein, he had no testicles and appeared “deformed” or “intersex.” The term refers to individuals with sex characteristics “that do not fit typical binary notions of male or female bodies,” according to the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights.
https://www.oann.com/weinstein-accuser-who-broke-down-on-stand-faces-third-day-of-cross-examination/
I guess when someone is already convicted before the trial begins, it doesn’t matter very much if the “persecutors” shame & embarrass the target.
I see no reason that such pictures would be introduced as evidence. What do they prove – that deformed people commit rape? Weinstein never denied sexual acts between the two nor have his attorneys denied them.
If I ws a conspiracy theorist, I’d say the prosecutors are trying to throw the case by deliberately proffering immaterial evidence. Why the judge is going along is baffling since this is an obvious appealable error.
I predict that Weinstein is going to walk. Don’t forget that ALL of the witnesses against him are ACTRESSES. What do actresses do? They FAKE on cue.
The pics could show that the woman’s testimony about his anatomy was truthful, pointing to her credibility.
I’m curious why you think there was a pile-on on Weinstein. Why him? For what purpose?
this article makes my blood boil! an Al-Qaeda leader comes to America AS A REFUGEE, claims SS Disability for bullet wounds, starts a company (so apparently he CAN work)…and later we find out he wanted for murder in Iraq.
FTA
Only 2 years after being the Emir of an Al Qaeda group, Al-Nouri had traded the deserts of Al-Anbar for the deserts of the Southwest. How was an Al Qaeda leader able to move to the United States?
Easy. He claimed to be a refugee from Al Qaeda.
In 2008, the United States raised the refugee admission celling to 80,000 to accommodate the surge of Iraqis applying to come to the United States. The Iraqis claimed to be fleeing terrorism, but some, like Al-Nouri were terrorists, and our refugee resettlement program was not interested in telling them apart.
A quarter of refugees that year were Iraqis. The Al Qaeda leader was one of 13,823 Iraqi refugees. The huge increase from 1,608 in 2007, made any real screening of the Iraqis all but impossible. And, worse still, Iraqis, like Al-Nouri, were in the top 3 refugee groups and their claims were processed ‘in-country’.
“In-country processing”, as noted by the Center of American Progress, makes “the process less onerous and cumbersome for Iraqis seeking asylum by allowing for in-country visa processing, making screening less restrictive.” And what migrants from Al-Qaeda’s stronghold needed was less restrictive screenings.
The less restrictive screenings were one of Senator Ted Kennedy’s final immigration gifts to America. The Refugee Crisis in Iraq Act was introduced by Ted Kennedy, backed by Grover Norquist, and co-sponsored by Joe Biden, Pat Leahy, Chuck Hagel, Dick Durbin, Bob Menendez and Barack Obama.

Things that go under the radar while we and the normies watch the show:
Tweet reads: US Launches Criminal Probe Into JPMorgan For Gold Price Manipulation | Zero Hedge
From the ZeroHedge article linked:
In November 2018, a former JPMorgan precious-metals trader admitted he engaged in a six-year spoofing scheme that defrauded investors in gold, silver, platinum, and palladium futures contracts.
John Edmonds, 36, of Brooklyn, New York, pleaded guilty under seal on Oct. 9 in the District of Connecticut to commodities fraud, conspiracy to commit wire fraud, commodities price manipulation, and spoofing. As Justice notes in a statement:
“From approximately 2009 through 2015 John Edmonds engaged in a sophisticated scheme to manipulate the market for precious metals futures contracts for his own gain by placing orders that were never intended to be executed,” said Assistant Attorney General Benczkowski.
“The Criminal Division is committed to prosecuting those who undermine the investing public’s trust in the integrity of our commodities markets through spoofing or any other illegal conduct.”
That was followed, a year later, by the DOJ charging the entire precious-metals trading desk at JPMorgan of being deeply involved in what prosecutors described as a “massive, multiyear scheme to manipulate the market for precious metals futures contracts and defraud market participants.”
The DoJ charged Michael Nowak, a JPMorgan veteran and former head of its precious metals trading desk and Gregg Smith, another trader on JPM’s metals desk, in the probe. (Blythe Masters was somehow omitted).
“Based on the fact that it was conduct that was widespread on the desk, it was engaged in in thousands of episodes over an eight-year period — that it is precisely the kind of conduct that the RICO statute is meant to punish,” Assistant Attorney General Brian Benczkowski told reporters.
Here’s where it gets extra interesting: according to Bloomberg, the unusually aggressive language language embraced by prosecutors reminds legal experts of indictments utilizing the RICO Act – a law allowing prosecutors to take down ‘criminal enterprises’ like the mafia by charging all members of the organization for any crimes committed by an individual on behalf of the organization.
Prosecutors charged the head of JP Morgan’s global metals trading operation and two other traders with “conspiracy to conduct the affairs of an enterprise involved in interstate or foreign commerce through a pattern of racketeering activity” – language that is typically used to describe a RICO charge.
Do not erase history. Let people learn from the mistakes and criminal intentions of their forebears. Covering up a nation’s past is never a good idea.
Yea, never erase history. Learn from it.
Pass whatever they want to that highlights the hypocrisy, no due process, the railroad job… CORRECT past travesty, for the record.
BONUS. D-Rats will fume IF Rs have the backbone to do so.
Mitt Romney acted against the truth and active offensively. Where is the outrage over his actions? What he did yesterday was vile and disgusting, showed his true character and loyalty is not with the American people, but it is not a one time thing with Romney – he has been on a tear against the President for years.
Where is the outrage about the scathing OpEd Romney published last year against the President? I’d be much more concerned about that.
Your friend isn’t interested in truth. They are just trying to MANIPULATE you with a crude MORAL EQUIVALENCE.
Romney is a snake. It is what he is – he attacks and bites with no loyalty. He claims to be a “Republican” but he has no interests of the American people at heart. He aligns with Democrats every chance he gets.
He has every opportunity to do the RIGHT THING…
BUT HE KEEPS DOING THE WRONG THING.
Over. And Over. And Over.
Repeatedly.
PREDICTABLY.
Nothing of what Romney did yesterday shocks me or surprises me.
He was elected by the Big Club as a “R” into the Senate for THIS MOMENT – to virtue signal and morally grand stand. His handlers put him there b/c they wanted their ONE TOKEN REPUBLICAN to stand against the President’s impeachment acquittal to give the ILLUSION and talking points that opposition to the President was supposedly “bi-partisan”. That’s a total joke – Romney is a total partisan, he always has been, and he always will be.
Remember that Romney is in the same bed with Joe Biden, John Kerry, and Nancy Pelosi in the Burisma scandal – Romney’s son was also in on the sweetheart deals just like Hunter Biden. He was also part of the same crew that worked to overthrow the government of Ukraine. The only reason Americans aren’t seething with anger and outrage is became the mind-control media have SHUT OUT any information about the scandal from coming to light. They have kept all of these scandals from being researched or publicized. If anyone has any information the contradicts the engineered narrative that the Democrats are perfect and Donald Trump must be impeached on moral grounds, they deploy their worst and most vile of smears and attacks – they remove them from the priest-class of “credible media”, revoke their access to the temple of “platform”, and for the sin of contradicting their narrative, they invoke the smear “conspiracy theorist”. This is just how the tribe works – they sacrifice their own to protect the narrative – to protect the LIES.
The leftists in the media, in politics, in the NGOs, and now in the churches ARE NOT playing by Marquis of Queensbury rules. We need to drop all pretense and illusion that we can have a civilized discourse with people who are DETERMINED to get power using every dirty trick they can. Their creed is power by any means necessary.
The Kavanaugh hearing should have proven this to us. The old rules of respect and giving the left the benefit of the doubt have been shredded by the left.
They use OUR RULEBOOK against us – like good Alinskyites – they do anything they want and NEVER get called out on it. If they posted cartoons mocking Trump at the Prayer Breakfast with Jeffries and depicted him as a televangelist, you could complain to them that it is NOT appropriate to mock a man of God who has taken a stand for righteousness. You know what they would say? Oh it’s just a cartoon. Or my favorite, “But isn’t it true?”. Or “I just want to challenge people to think differently.” Or “But Jeffries is a buffoon, just look at this [random made up controversy] where he did [whatever BS they can manufacture], shouldn’t people know about this?”
CHRISTIAN LEFTIST PRIVILEGE is to set up TWO STANDARDS of behavior:
* One standard which exonerates them ALWAYS
* Another standard which condemns you and us ALWAYS
* One standard which NEVER condemns them
* Another standards which NEVER exonerates us
* They ALWAYS get to define the standards of righteous behavior
* We are NEVER allowed to define the standards of righteous behavior
* They are ALWAYS given the benefit of the doubt, even when their actions are blatantly intentional and malicious
* We are NEVER given the benefit of the doubt, even in the smallest questionable area
* They can ALWAYS change the rules of the game, whenever they like, move every goalpost, tilt the playing field to maximize their advantage
* We can NEVER be allowed to have a single, unchanging standard, or object to the ever-changing criteria that the self-appointed and self-righteous priest-class determines for us, or have a fair and level playing field. Heck, we should have home-field advantage but they’ve stolen that from us too.
* The fundamental rule of the left Alinskyites: We lose, they win, by any means necessary. They consider anything they can get away with is fair game.
All this PHONY MORAL OUTRAGE from them? Grandstanding? It’s total BS, let’s face it. They are ABUSING and MANIPULATING the RULE BOOK to BULLY US into NOT saying what we would say, into NOT DOING what we would do, into not STANDING for what we would stand for, into not FIGHTING for what we know we are called to fight for.
“Oh but it’s OFFENSIVE!!!” “Shouldn’t we be about LOVE????” “Bbbut his tweets!”
Sanctimonious vipers, hypocrites. Matthew 24 is very instructive.
Remember Tony Campolo? He said the following:
“I have three things I’d like to say today. First, while you were sleeping last night, 30,000 kids died of starvation or diseases related to malnutrition. Second, most of you don’t give a $#!+. What’s worse is that you’re more upset with the fact that I said shit than the fact that 30,000 kids died last night.”
Here’s the poster boy for the religious left being blatantly offensive and crass. You know what happened? They cheered for him! Tony Campolo was “brave” for making statements “that needed to be said”!
That’s the CHRISTIAN LEFTIST PRIVILEGE. They can say and do whatever they want. They can accuse us of being “uncaring”, “unserious”, they can mock our “penchant for Biblical exegesis”.
We are their chumps, their DUPES.
They would NOT hesitate to post a Babylon Bee article they liked given the chance. That’s what grates them – they don’t have a Babylon Bee that supports their view.
This is not 18th century England. We are not in the sinful city of London. We are not William Wilberforce ushering in a reformation of manners. This is not the Victorian era of civility.
We cannot affect change when the LEFT has WEAPONIZED the playbook against us.
We cannot allow the LEFTISTS to intimidate us every time they have some phony moral high-horse objection.
What they want isn’t for us to be moral. What they want is to SUPRESS US.
They want us to SELF-CENSOR.
If they can’t do that they’ll deploy the PC police against us.
Then they start flagging our posts and reporting us.
Then they’ll deplatform us.
If that doesn’t work then they’ll gossip about us. Lie about us. Smear our reputation. Engage in whisper campaigns.
They will attack us in the churches. Call our employers to get us fired. They will doxx us. They will do everything possible to damage and destroy us economically and socially to make us pariahs.
They will do it. They have done it. This is NOT news.
They threw everything at Kavanaugh. They will do it to us too.
They are snakes. That is just what they do.
So no, I will not change what I posted or apologize for SATIRE just because they don’t like what I posted. Just because they want to suppress the TRUTH.
New rules: We win, they lose.
It doesn’t mean we sink to their lows, but it does mean that we will NOT be intimidated by their phony morality schtick.
There is a real difference between mocking someone’s faith and mocking their hypocrisy. Methinks Romney has yet to get all he deserves.
I won’t hesitate for one moment to mock someone’s faith, if it appears it is phony.
I am willing to accept and engage with others of all religions, bar one. That is Islam, which I do not believe is a religion, but a political ideology masquerading as one. Faith is personal, and often unique to the individual, practiced outside of any organization. Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, Pagan, I don’t care, as long as you are a decent, kind, moral person. And yes, that is judged by my standards, which others might not agree with.
BUT, if you profess a faith and your actions don’t live up to it, or make an outright mockery of it, then expect mockery from me. If you use your faith as a club against others, same. Religious faith is not supposed to be a tool used to elevate oneself above other people. That’s my standard, and I’m sticking to it.

It was a rhetorical question. Speaker has NO foreign policy responsibilities that I know of.
Sadly, that does not stop her.
so now FISA abuse comes down to “intent”?!!!
Explain to me why Gen. Flynn doesn’t come down to “intent”? Did he intend to mislead the FBI that day?
INTENT. Wray picks up a mantra from July 2016… (IIRC)
Straight out of lying James Comey’s mouth as he handed hildabeast her, stay out of jail card. Lying Comey said hildabeast had no intent to break the law.
FIB really, really sucks.
When the President was running for office and Mitt Romney spoke against him with such vitriol, I did a study on Mitt’s background and found ties to the Rothschilds, H.W. Bush (a lot) , Goldman Sachs, and foreign banking interests such as the Saudis and South Americans.
Looking at how and where Mitt has made his money is enlightening and I am in hopes that some of you will be bette able to make sense of things than I am. Finances, to say the least, are not my strong point.
Mitt, imo, is a posturing, vacuous, owned and empty vessel of corruption.
I am writing this because it looks to me like the President and his family want Romney removed from any sphere if political influence—Republican or not.
The MSM will not do its job, so I guess it is up to us to look into things and bring them into the light.

“Yes, I’m “sure” that @markknoller would be generous of heart & spirit to be acquitted of charges which were false in the 1st place. @realDonaldTrump is talking about criminal corruption, Mr. Knoller, prepare for real news’ reporting, not Lefty propaganda disguised as news.”

I agree. I think we’re there, or if not, getting much warmer.
They all kept making their little references to royalty, saying he wanted to be king etc…. What’s that line about killing the king…? If you want to kill the king, make sure you don’t miss.
They missed
He sounds a little hoarse to me, but his words and demeanor are chilling. “I don’t like people who use their faith as justification for doing what they know is wrong.” 🔥
This a very interesting article from Carlos Osweda on Twitter. It’s a long thread but a must read
https://threader.app/thread/1225190709394726912
Satan does do so…and it is meaningless –>> as meaningless as Pelosi saying she “prays” for anything while supporting abortion at any time for any reason
Allow me to suggest that DJTjr could use a regular Bible study class. Satan most assuredly quotes Scripture all the time. Anything to cause or help a human to slip and fall short of the goal. My late pastor used to remind us fairly regularly that “Satan knows Scripture better than you do”.
Since he was (and still is) the most beautiful of the angels, one could easily argue that he was God’s favorite while in heaven. Favorites usually know the most about the one who favors them.
PGroup, I agree and do think some of Pres. Trump’s spiritual advisers leave a lot to be desired. I do like the studies at Capitol Ministries, and they have good Bible studies for congressmen and state legislators. They seem very solid and biblical. I Think Pres. Trump is aware of them.
I will add that I personally think the remarks he made today regarding phony religiosity, calling out certain people’s pretentions, pretty much hit the mark regarding Romney and Piglosi.
DC is traditionally fake collegiality, then backstabbing. Trump fights by taking the bull by the horns and calling a spade a spade. Remember the way he dealt with McCain – told how he felt about him outright. (McCain deserved it)
In the Christian world, cheap grace has been in style for a long time…. and people expect to be forgiven before they really repent and turn from their evil ways. Half the people there were hoping for Trump and Pelosi to hug and cry, etc.
Trump is a Presbyterian – traditionally stern and correct – which is different indeed from the happy-clappy emotionalism of the charismatics, the super sweet Methodists…. maybe closer to Baptists or Church of Christ (though they don’t have musical instruments – only sing a cappela).
Pelosi is now on the bad side of Trump and she had better watch out!
Agree with you, though the brand of Presbyterianism there is more liberal than some others, but Pres. Trump grew up in a more conservative time, as did some of us. I am glad of that.
Yes – the Presbyterians were more intolerant – they split early back in the late 60s or early 70s – over the veracity/authority of the Bible and some started the PCA.
Sadly, the mother church, PCUSA is now liberal.
I know they are. This is what always happens eventually with denominations

I knew him as Kirk Douglas.
Give me Jimmy Stewart any day.
My grandfather flew on B-24’s with Jimmy as his pilot. Grandpa didn’t talk about those days much, but he did say Jimmy was a helluva pilot.
Maybe it’s just wishful hoping, but the buzz in the conservative twittersphere believes something big is going to happen today with POTUS’ High Noon Press Conference.
Note my tweet response upthread to Mark Knoller, where he’s snarks at POTUS, but DJT mentions “Corrupt people, and we can’t let that go on.”
Then there is this:
@SRV1VR
I’ve only heard this tone and demeanor once personally (not directed towards me, just in the same meeting) from
@realDonaldTrump Something big is going to go down. He’s stern voice is telling. #KAG

Unseen mentions it too.
@unseen1_unseen
I could be completely wrong here &, honestly, I probably am but for some reason this 12:00pm conference set up by Pres Trump reminds me of that time Trump called a press conference on Obama’s birth certificate, made a brief statement, then brought up military guys to endorse him.

GOP FL Sen Rick Scott intros Constitutional Amdt to raise the threshold to approve articles of impeachment in the Hse to 3/5. Now just needs a simple majority. Constitutional amdts require 2/3 approval of Hse/Senate & 3/5 of all states (38).
This will help stop this in the future … but will also stop the GOP from returning the “favor”. But the GOP has so much (too much?) respect for the institutions that they probably would not do it anyway. Never attempted to impeach Obama. If he had been white skinned and done the exact same things I think the House might have moved to impeach him but…
this is a good safeguard against future use of impeachment as a political tool

I wish Rep. Gaetz well with this, but since Pelosi is Speaker…not sure it’s going to go anywhere. I’m not trying to be negative or a downer, just realistic.
https://www.foxnews.com/media/nancy-pelosi-tears-trump-state-union-gaetz-ethics-charges
Matt Gaetz to file ethics charges against Pelosi, force a vote in House
From the article:
House Judiciary Committee member Matt Gaetz, R-Fla., said Wednesday he will be filing ethics charges against House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., over what he called her “temper tantrum” following President Trump’s State of the Union address the previous evening.
Gaetz told Laura Ingraham on “The Ingraham Angle” that he will join two other Republicans and file the charges with the House Ethics Committee on Thursday. Reps. Lee Zeldin of New York and Kay Granger of Texas will join him, he said.
“[Pelosi] disgraced the House of Representatives, she embarrassed our country and she destroyed official records. The law does not allow the Speaker of the House to destroy the records of the House and the rules of the House do not permit some little temper tantrum just because you don’t like what the president of the United States says,” he said.
Agree DP,
methinks Gaetz is moving forward with it in an effort to redeem himself… he’s still in the doghouse with a lot of people.
I’m grateful that he did. Too many things get shrugged off with the explanation of ..it’ll probably go nowhere. At the very least it’s on record and at the very best, she’s censured in some manner
It really doesn’t matter because like a Pelosi said about impeachment, she will forever have a censored/charged brought against her…an embarrassment to her so-called “legacy.” And, it will be brought up over and over…and we all know how well she responds to questions and criticism.
It was voted down today.
