20200228: Dear KAG Open Thread.

Welcome to Friday’s OPEN THREAD at the QTree! It’s the weekend and time to crack open a beer and put some steaks on the grill! Thank you for the Thursday hand-off TrumpIsMine. Thank you to Wolfie for keeping us all organized, up and running. What would we do without FLEP’s News Roundup to keep up? Thank you, Flep. Hat tip and a hearty thank you to Wheatie, Dep, BakoCarl, Michael, all contributors and the lurkers!

We don’t believe in political correctness at QTree. Free Speech is practiced here. ENJOY IT. Use it or lose it. This board will remain a REFUGE for those who need civility, either some or all of the time. Important Guidelines are outlined here in the January 1st open thread, with an addendum on 20191110. In other words, please 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.

What a week we’ve had. We’ve gone from India, with images of hundreds of thousands of Indian citizens gleefully welcoming our President, FLOTUS, and delegation in grand fashion……. and in a small overlooked news item, Sec Wilbur Ross traveled on to Pakistan. Hmmmmm! The President came home with a 3 billion dollar military sale but did not buckle on a larger trade deal. Good. The USA is in a winning position and he won’t sign unless it’s good for American citizens. We want “Reciprocity”.

When the President returned home, he was greeted by news of massive selloffs in the stock market and a media intent on causing a panic over Coronavirus. News out of Italy/Iran and South Korea sparked concerns over the virus spreading. In South Korea, we learned over 800K people signed a petition calling for the impeachment of President Moon, because he did not act fast enough to close the borders to Chinese travelers, …..which makes Trump’s decision to close travel to those from China, a month ago, quite wise. THUS, Italy’s politicians and other country’s leaders reacted severely to any threat of the virus….. which made the media salivate. The President addressed the nation on Wednesday night.

The reaction in the media reminds me of an anecdote I learned long ago, told to me by a seasoned fund manager. He said, “I could hire anyone to work for me…… When everything is going well, it wouldn’t matter if I hired people straight out of the phone book, but the reason I hire the best in the business, seek them out and pay them more, is because there will be a problem/disaster/catastrophe in the next ten years. During that moment of crisis, decisions made by savvy and calm employees will be all that stands between me and the sharks.”

It’s why we hired Donald Trump as President, for a moment such as…. Coronavirus.

In other news, well out of the headlines, the President’s Judicial Armada plugs along, the Border Wall continues adding mileage, and the Trump Admin won big in the Appeals Court for a ruling on restricting block grants to Sanctuary Cities. Promises made, promises kept, the list of accomplishments continues.

The Dems are annihilating each other in their debates and on the campaign trail. We’ve had fun watching the implosion on several Dem Debate Threads and the forecast for next week is “100% chance of continued amusement”.

Tonight, the President travels to South Carolina, for a rally before South Carolina Primary. I’ve already started marinating the ribs for the grill. We can sip tea, or share a few Mint Juleps, comfortable with our Stable Genius, while the Dems muddy themselves in the gutter. Full Debate Thread will go up after midnight. Surely, there are already people in line. Ya’ll can come visit me at the B&B while we’re in South Carolina.

No, this is not my house, but a “cousin” B&B in Charleston.

Make sure you rest up over the weekend because we have another rally in North Carolina on Monday night, ahead of the Super Tuesday primary. It is election season.

“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

Remember Wheatie’s Rules:

  1. No food fights.
  2. No running with scissors.
  3. If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.

If you’re up past midnight, take a walk outside and look at the Moon and Venus “kiss” each other. Kind of cool.

Say a little prayer for the President and his family/team. It won’t hurt you, and he needs all the help he can get.

Until next week, Remain Calm and Rock On………

See you all tomorrow morning at Wheatie’s treehouse!

Here’s a tree with you in mind, Wheatie. It’s the Angel Tree in Charleston, SC.

Great thread post, Daughn!
😄🥰🤗👍
Thanks for the weekly recap!
Those Angel Trees in SC are incredible, aren’t they.
Absolutely beautiful!

Love all the pictures! I can’t decide which I like best, I guess they’re all the best!
I’m a little rummy tonight, will read the post tomorrow. Hubby is needing a lot of TLC lately, so I pop in when I can. Thanks for all you do.

I have so much new R-E-S-P-E-C-T for the citizens of India! What an amazing welcome to President Trump and First Lady Melania!

Chimpy

Thank you for posting that video, kea. We see so little of our First Lady due to the nasty left media refusing to cover her initiatives and beautiful interactions with children.
I work in the oil and gas industry and am lucky to work with people from all over the world. This includes a large percentage of folks from India. By far, of all the cultures and peoples this simple boy who grew up in the Midwest, Indians have impressed me the most.
As they speak English fluently, it’s easy for me to communicate well with them.
But additionally, they tend to be intelligent, educated, friendly, thoughtful, loyal, hard-working, family-oriented and have strong faith and commitment.
If an Indian ever invites you over for dinner, don’t even think of declining. As they open the front door, the wonderful smell of home cooked Indian food will wash over you. And that’s just the beginning. The food is to die for.
Be sure to remove your shoes upon entering.

Alison

This is a sure-to-be-historic video of today’s round table with President Trump and the leaders of his Black coalition. It is SO touching and encouraging to see these familiar faces sitting and conversing with our President. I love what he is doing for our country. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

para59r

Didn’t expect that. Stacy on the Right! The intersection of politics and style. No friend to the left. A solid right wing radio talk host, talking issues hardly race, and she’s a big gun control advocate, but the kind we like, with the 8 steady hold factors, proper sight alignment and sight picture. A mom and airforce vet she has a podcast so you don’t have to catch her live, but they attack her like they attack the others so you may actually have to drop down and hit one of the #episodes to hear her least they messed with her feed.

Alison! It is your fault! While watching how proud these great Patriots were to be in the White House…I got something in my eyes AGAIN!

JW in Germany

Wolf, Flep, Duaghn, Wheatie? Somebody who knows how to…PLEASE make this a separate thread!
Just the introduction is phenomenal! (Now hopefully the rest is as fantastic as the beginning 😲)

Chimpy

President Trump is the worst racist ever. He truly sucks at it.
Loved the video. I recommend everyone to commit the time to watch the entire hour. I learned quite a bit.

Alison

A joyful and celebratory time, indeed!

🦋🤸‍♀️🦋bflyjesusgrl🦋🤸‍♀️🦋

Absolutely Fantastic Video!!!
It was Melania that found Diamond and Silk and Candace Owens on the Internet and brought to POTUS’ attention. VSGFLOTUS!!!💖💖💖

Alison

I wondered who discovered D&S !!! Melania truly is Trump’s Secret Weapon 😃🇺🇸🇺🇸

🦋🤸‍♀️🦋bflyjesusgrl🦋🤸‍♀️🦋

Miss Wheatie, where’s the Kleenex?!?
Incredible, but totally true, someone actually called him “The FIrst Black President” and everyone agreed and cheered. WOW!!!

Brave and Free

Fantastic video WOW! Have already sent it forward. This needs to be shared far and wide. Yeah PDJT is a recist. Listen to what he told Diamond & Silk, hope you monetize this. Telling them how to advance themselves.
PDJT has mad more of an impact with those people in that room than Zero ever did. Imagine all the lives that are going to be effected in a positive way through these people because of what he’s doing for them..

The Do Nothing Democrats were busy wasting time on the Immigration Hoax, & anything else they could do to make the Republican Party look bad, while I was busy calling early BORDER & FLIGHT closings, putting us way ahead in our battle with Coronavirus. Dems called it VERY wrong!
So, the Coronavirus, which started in China and spread to various countries throughout the world, but very slowly in the U.S. because President Trump closed our border, and ended flights, VERY EARLY, is now being blamed, by the Do Nothing Democrats, to be the fault of “Trump”.

You are ready.
We are the news now.

JW in Germany

Good morning from Germany Daughn and Q-Treepers!
I would like to start off with the 1st day of CPAC (it was a Great Day…my birthday) and positive observations.
I have been asked…and I have heard and read it asked…”What do we do after President Trump? Who can we elect without losing what we have gained?”
Well, I think CPAC 2020 has already given us future prospects on its very first day.
I love Charlie Kirk…too young…but 2036 is looking good.
My personal favorite? Doug Collins! I absolutely love his energy, articulation, intelligence, loyalty,……important, I love his CHARACTER AND PATRIOTISM!
Also, I had my doubts about Sarah Carter being part of the “tick-tock” group….after watching her with Collins, I think she is just as frustrated as any of us…yet, positively hopeful about AG Barr and our pit-Bull Durham.
I thought this was a great segment at CPAC!

It’s not my birthday, but can I have one of those, too?
Drooling here…

patfrederick

sure!
it’s supposed to be Black Forest Cherry Cake…

Katie

Perfect choice!

GA/FL

That’s a Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte – aka Black Forest Cake
I have a fabulous recipe from the old Time-Life cookbook series.
It is luscious and (hic) calls for lots of kirsch and kirsch syrup!

patfrederick

i made it in 8th grade for the Foreign Language Bake Off and won with a great recipe too!!
yeah, the booze helped I think…LOL

Gail Combs

I had one of those for my birthday from a German bakery… IN GERMANY! There was a German bakery within walking distance of the apartment. And even though I had to walk up & down 6 flights I STILL gained 10 pounds the first month….. And enjoyed every scrumptious minute of it.

JW in Germany

Thanks Pat! That cake looks delicious! The digital version is even keto friendly.😁😋

Michael Flynn seeks total exoneration, not pardon, says his attorney
Sidney Powell says case could ‘be over in a week’ once ‘altered 302’ examined in DOJ review
https://justthenews.com/government/federal-agencies/mike-flynn-seeking-total-exoneration-not-pardon-says-his-attorney

JW in Germany

We really need to share Just the News! REAL NEWS!

singularzoe

Bravo, Sidney!

patfrederick

I agree that exoneration not pardon is indeed warranted, but my question is about that “original” 302. (Confession: I think the 302 is the most ludicrous method of information/interview gathering invented. it provides the one making the statement no opportunity to assess what the interviewer has written so there is no recourse if the interviewer misrepresented what was said.)
anyway, what makes Powell believe that the original 302 even exists anymore? wouldn’t they have made their “corrections” and then “lost it” or wiped it from the system or whatever it takes to get rid of it by now??

NYGuy

Good luck with that. So far, nothing she has done has worked.

Gail Combs

IF Sidney & General Flynn are working WITH the Q team/White Hats to get people to SEE THE CORRUPTON in our legal system, then they have done a bang-up job!
They have reversed the usual tactics of the left by releasing to the public the documents they are handing to the court. Sidney has gone into the public sphere and talked about what she is up to. Defense lawyers NEVER do this…. But what if ‘Defense’ IS NOT her goal? What if INFORMING and TEACHING the public is the goal?
People who would normally trust the FBI and DOJ are now SEEING how both branches have been corrupted. Now when there is a house cleaning people will be cheering.
YUGE CANARY TRAP?

NYGuy

Her goal is to get Flynn off. That is all that matters. Anything beyond that is not her job.

Gail Combs

That depends on what General Flynn’s goal is doesn’t it?
I think there is a lot more happening behind the scenes that we do not know.
Why the change of Judge?
WHY NO GAG ORDER? Manafort and Stone got gag orders so why not General Flynn?
Why all the continuations?
WHERE IS FBI Special Agent Joseph Pientka?
Why did they originally say General Flynn WAS NOT LYING?
Why did General Flynn originally go with a swamp law firm?

NYGuy

Well Flynn said yesterday he wanted to be completely exonerated. So she has her marching orders. She should be evaluated based on how she does versus that expectation by Flynn. Status of that is in limbo as far as I can tell.

some counties in some states have more voter registration than eligible voters…
FTA
The group examined publicly available registration records and compared it with citizen voting-age data from the U.S. Census Bureau, describing the figures as “suspiciously high.”
“All three states have multiple counties where voter registration rates exceed 90 percent, in some cases they exceed 100 percent. In the last election in 2018, the nationwide registration rate according to the U.S. Census Bureau was 66.9 percent. That disparity is a clear sign these states aren’t maintaining accurate voter rolls,” said Jason Snead, executive director of the Honest Elections Project. Snead was formerly a senior policy analyst at the conservative Heritage Foundation.
The organization’s findings revealed that 27 counties in Florida have voter registration rates above 90 percent, well above the national average, and seven counties with rates higher than 100 percent. Michigan had 18 counties above 90 percent and one above 100 percent, and Colorado had 19 above 90 percent and five above 100 percent, the group said.
In the 2016 election, Hillary Clinton won Colorado by a relatively slim margin of 2.8 percent. President Trump won Florida by 1.3 percent, and Michigan by just 0.4 percent.

Gail Combs

North Carolina had more voters than adults in 20 of the 100 counties in 2016. That is why we ended up with a Democrat governor who just happened to have been the (SOROS) State AG.

This is WuFlu, but I thought it is of enough general interest to get on the Open Thread, too.

We don’t know the future for WuFlu . . . the impact of newly developed anti-virals and vaccines . . . things they didn’t have for H1N1 in 1918,

GA/FL

This morning
60 – CoV19 patients in USA
42 – from the Diamond Princess cruise ship
15 – mostly from travel to China
1 – secondary infection of close family member of China traveler
1 – unexplained case – possible, but not proven ‘community spread’
Suffice it to say – this is not China, not Iran, not Italy.
This is President Trump’s administration – not Øbominable or Hillrotten’s – thanks be to GOD!!!

GA/FL

US hospital protocols re: infection are the best on earth!
Hand sanitizer, gowns, masks, UV sanitation lights to kill bacteria and viruses between patients and many other precautions.
My daughter spent 2 weeks in a state of the art new intensive care facility and on a critical care ward in our capital city hospital and it was impressive to see how serious they were about preventive as well as critical/intensive care.
US hospitals are extremely aggressive against both viruses and bacteria.

GA/FL

After the hospital, she went to a Select Critical Care facility for another two weeks and received the same level of care, even the dismissal procedures and preparation to go home were impressive.

GA/FL

That is not to say ALL US HOSPITALS and health/rehab facilities are the same quality.
There are some that are not as safe and careful – and this is due to management and staffing most of the time.
I know of one rehab facility here with a bad reputation, and we were warned NOT to allow our disabled daughter to go there. I read the reviews and it sounds like a nightmare.

🦋🤸‍♀️🦋bflyjesusgrl🦋🤸‍♀️🦋

I find it interesting that the not proven community spread case lives near Travis AFB, the airport where they brought in the infected folks from the Diamond Princess. My spirit tells me they’re related. 🤔

Dora

His message is clear and to the point. How refreshing.

patfrederick

hmmm…the “mastermind” in the college admission scandal has written “notes” in which he claims the FBI wanted him to tell a “fib”…Loughlin claims THIS evidence proves the FBI coerced Singer to lie…
I’m bothered by his use of the word fib in his “notes”…the FBI is yelling at him and and telling him to lie and he calls it telling a fib…it doesn’t jive with me for some reason…and that last part? they want it to be a payment to whom? he’s called it a donation first, then a payment?
FTA
“Loud and abrasive call with agents,” Rick Singer wrote. “They continue to ask me to tell a fib and not restate what I told my clients as to where their money was going — to the program not the coach and that it was a donation and they want it to be a payment.”

in the small NY town a few miles from here, someone had their tree in the front yard cut down and left a rather tall stump which had us puzzled. that summer, a carver turned the tall stump into a woman screaming (using a knot as her open mouth). And then they painted it…it’s a hoot at Halloween, but don’t know I’d want it in my yard permanently.

Corona virus just lessened our hopes for stronger GDP in 2020. We are hovering in the low to mid 2s with two massive trade deals expected to kick in. That is being mitigated by supply chain concerns across the globe (go to a TJ Maxx and look at how many items there are made in China). Mostly due to the virus.
In the past year, the American consumer has held up our economy. Business investment has faltered. The trade arrangements had some promise attached to them. In the worst case scenario, Corona virus appears to have spooked the prospects of a business investment rebound. Possibly trigger the Fed to move. But the game is not over yet.
The rebound from this will be delicious. Made in America is the only way to go from now on.

GA/FL

Don’t you worry – our Mensch Trump and his killer economy/finance mavens know 6 ways to Sunday to kick-start a recovery for the GDP!!!
Can’t wait to watch it happen!!!

NYGuy

Once the corona virus scare has been managed, the supply chain stuff will go away. Maybe the Fed gets involved. Dunno. Markets open at 9:30 am. Should be interesting.

GA/FL

Our man Trump has serious skillz – and so do his people.

GA/FL

Even the so-called crash only went down to Trump-set record levels. He’s set at least 30 stock market levels since 2017!

NYGuy

That’s true but people don’t like losing gains. You know that. They fear not be able to recoup that. Which is normal and to be expected.
I am focused on GDP growth. To me, that will define our future.

GA/FL

Please keep us posted.
We are back to making steel, factories are opening right and left…. that certainly has not stopped.

NYGuy

No question. Trump is a brilliant man. He broke down the global economy into parts that directly affect the American consumer’s pockets. Then he proceeded to implement policy that helped make those pockets fatter. I have no doubt the administration will attack each shortfall they see effectively.

🦋🤸‍♀️🦋bflyjesusgrl🦋🤸‍♀️🦋

Now the focus will be to open even MOAR!!! Manufacture of Drugs, medical equipment, all things focused on National Security….just like steel. I trust POTUS!!!

From the article: President Trump May Invoke Defense Production Act to Rapidly Expand Manufacturing of Protective Masks and Clothing
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/02/whats-the-delay-president-trump-may-invoke-defense-production-act-to-rapidly-expand-manufacturing-of-protective-masks-and-clothing/
President Donald Trump’s administration is considering invoking special powers through a law called the Defense Production Act to rapidly expand domestic manufacturing of protective masks and clothing to combat the coronavirus in the United States, two U.S. officials told Reuters.
The use of the law, passed by Congress in 1950 at the outset of the Korean War, would mark an escalation of the administration’s response to the outbreak. The virus first surfaced in China and has since spread to other countries including the United States.

AND REMEMBER IT IS NOT JUST PPE it is MEDICINES!
As Daughn said:
“…Health security has become national security and a globalist economy which only pursues short term profits has left us woefully unprepared. We can’t manufacture penicillin anymore or Vitamin C. Our last aspirin factory left the USA in 2004. We have ONE factory which makes surgical masks and sterile disposable operating room kits…”
It is also the raw materials need to make the pharmaceuticals. Something like 80% or more come from CHINA.
There are also hospital gowns, and nurse’s shoes and uniforms and…
>>>>>>>>>>>
You do not think President Trump won’t use this as an opportunity to drag more industry back to the USA?
An opportunity to BREAK GROUND on NEW FACTORIES NOW, THIS SUMMER in his ‘Opportunity Zones’ in Black Neighborhoods?
If I can see this you can bet President Trump is already working on it and has been for months…

Oh, and those RAW MATERIALS? I used to work in that field. Most of the feed stock is OIL! President Trump has already made sure we have the feed stock ON SHORE. 😁
That was Step One.
He has also gotten people into training and apprenticeships in the trade skills.
That was Step Two.

From OUTLOOK for CONSTRUCTION – 2020

GA/FL

Brilliant post Miss Gail!

Gail Combs

To have jobs you have to have physical plants that manufacture WEALTH. So I decided to take a peak at new commercial construction. Daughhn or Felice have a better grip on the subject, but this is what I found. It is a LOOOOoooong report. Note the date.
2-12-2020 — 2020 Construction Economic Forecast
Prepared by:
Edward R Zarenski
Construction Analytics

…Nonresidential Buildings construction spending is forecast to finish 2019 at $455 billion, level with 2018. For 2020 the forecast is a gain of 3% to $467 billion. Educational and Commercial/Retail held down gains in 2019….
Non-building Infrastructure construction spending is forecast to increase 7% to $329 billion in 2019 and 5% to $345 billion in 2020. Transportation spending gets strong growth from three years of record new starts…. [Thats roads & Stuff -gc]
AIA Consensus January 2020 Construction Forecast is a semi-annual survey of construction economists’ projections for future nonresidential buildings spending. The January 2020 Consensus report of expectations for nonresidential construction shows predicted growth for 2020 at 1.5%. All major markets show growth expectations between -2% and +4%. Office, Healthcare and Education are projected to gain 3%-3.9%. Commercial/Retail, Lodging and Amusement/Recreation are expected to fall
1.3%-1.9%….
Dodge Momentum Index (DMI) is a monthly measure of nonresidential projects in planning, excluding manufacturing and infrastructure. It is a leading indicator of specific nonresidential construction spending by approximately 12 to 15 months. This plot moves the DMI ahead to show when the index would influence construction spending. The DMI is indicating a slow decline in new spending for the 1st half of 2020 but then a rapid increase in the 2nd half….
Construction Starts > Cashflow > Backlog > Spending
One of the best predictors of construction inflation is the level of activity in an area. When the activity level is low, contractors are all competing for a smaller amount of work and therefore they may reduce bids. When activity is high, there is a greater opportunity to bid on more work and bids can be higher…
The easiest way to understand this is to compare total annual construction starts to total annual spending. National starts from 2016 to 2019 range from $750 billion/year to $800 billion/year, while spending in this period ranges from $1,200 billion/year to $1,300 billion/year. From this comparison we can see starts captures a share of about 60% of the total market.
This table shows Office starts in 2016 did not drive up spending in 2017, the 2nd year, when most spending occurs. Manufacturing had two huge years of growth in starts but very little growth in spending the following years. The cash flow curves for starts determines when spending occurs. The forecast shows Office spending up 9% in 2020 and Manufacturing up 10% in 2021.….
Note that new manufacturing starts were up 29% in 2017 and 26% in 2018, yet 2019-2020 spending is
forecast to increase only 3%. This is due in part to the share of market captured in the starts survey
having increased, but also to very large projects that started but that have much longer than normal
duration to complete, therefore moving the largest monthly cash flows further out into the future.

And that is before President Trump puts a boot in the A$$ of the medical supply/pharma industries.

This confirms my warning about this Bill that was posted days ago.
This Bill that was just passed NOT ONLY allows Physician’s Assistants to perform an abortion at any time during the first trimester of a pregnancy — but ALSO permits Nurse Practitioners AND “Certified Nurse-Midwives” to perform abortions — EXACTLY what I predicted.
HOWEVER, the Bill ALSO removes ALL protection for the unborn child — protections that the Republicans in the Virginia legislature wanted to keep and tried to get added to the Bill — which the DEMCOM-dominated legislature said NO to.:
REMOVED are:
The ultrasound requirement.
The 24-hour wait before getting the abortion performed (that’s called Abortion on Demand).
Giving the woman information about other options, like keeping the fetus to term and putting out for adoption.
The requirement that ANY abortion facility that does more than 5 procedures a month, be licensed as a “hospital”, making the facility subject to state and federal MINIMUM STANDARDS for hospitals (licensing / cleanliness / proper staff on hand to handle complications, etc.).
The ONLY requirement that is being kept is the current one that a woman’s written permission must be obtained before the abortion is performed.
(lis.virginia.gov/)
It is not clear how this Bill addresses abortions performed beyond the first trimester.

Considering the St. Patrick’s Day promo, I was worried that they’d be offering GREEN BACON…
(OK, OK, OK, drench it in AMERICAN maple syrup and everything will be OK 🙂 )…
ThinkGeek used to have a semi-animatronic bacon pillow called “My First Bacon”, which seems to have gone the route of their “Genuine Unicorn Meat” and “Tribbles and Bits”… sad to say…
Wonder what that bacon costs? It’s not so hard to cook up a bunch in a microwave (OK messy)…
Stack Architecture:
Plate
Paper Towel
bacon (say, 8 slices)
Doubled-layer paper towel
Plate
cook 1.5 minutes, flip (with pot holders) upside-down,
cook another 1.5 to 2 minutes (check for done-ness),
then CAREFULLY lift the top plate (lots of steam will come forth),
and gently peel the bacon from between the paper towels.
I guess it’s not “sustainable” (no bacon grease to save), but it works,
and is pretty easy to clean up (though pretty easy to get burned, if
you’re not careful)…
(And, yes, I’m too cheap to get a microwave bacon cooker…)

And of course this difficult tale, related by a Scottish colleague of mine:
There are two Mexicans who have been lost in the desert for weeks, and they’re at death’s door.
As they stumble on, hoping for salvation in the form of an oasis or something similar they suddenly spy, through the shimmering heat haze, a tree off in the distance.
As they get closer they can see that the tree is draped with rasher upon rasher of bacon.
There’s smoked bacon, crispy bacon, life giving juicy nearly-raw bacon, all sorts.
“Hey, Pepe,” says the first bloke “Ees a bacon tree!!! We’re saved!!!”
“You’re right, amigo!” says Pepe. So Pepe goes on ahead and runs up to the tree, salivating at the prospect of food.
But as he gets to within five feet of the tree, there’s the sound of machine gun fire, and he is shot down in a hail of bullets.
His friend quickly drops down on the sand and calls across to the dying Pepe.
“Pepe!! Pepe!!
Que pasa hombre?”
With his last dying breath Pepe calls out… “Ugh, run, amigo, run!!
Ees not a Bacon Tree!”
(Scroll Down, ees worth it!)

Pope Francis lost part of a lung as a young man due to a “respiratory illness”.
One would assume that the Vatican has a medical staff who is treating Pope Francis, along with an in-house “sick bay”.
If the Pope should need to be transferred to hospital, Rome has several including the Bambino Gesu.
Vatican City has one pharmacy, the famous Farmacia Vaticana.

Secrets of the Federal Reserve
The history, organization and controlling interests behind the Federal Reserve
— by: Eustace Mullins, 1983,

The Insiders Tipoff
Both J.P. Morgan and Kuhn, Loeb Co. had “preferred lists” of men to whom they sent advance announcements of profitable stocks. The men on these preferred lists were allowed to purchase these stocks at cost, that is, anywhere from 2 to 15 points a share less than they were sold to the public. The men on these lists were fellow bankers, prominent industrialists, powerful city politicians, national Committeemen of the Republican and Democratic Parties, and rulers of foreign countries.
The men on these lists were notified of the coming crash, and sold all but so-called gilt-edged stocks, General Motors, Dupont, etc.
The prices on these stocks also sank to record lows, but they came up soon afterwards. How the big bankers operated in 1929 is revealed by a Newsweek story on May 30, 1936, when a Roosevelt appointee, Ralph W. Morrison, resigned from the Federal Reserve Board…

phoenixrising37,
Sorry I confused you.
That was an example of the idiotic hype the Left is pushing WITHOUT FACTS!
If you DO NOT TEST…..
You DO NOT KNOW what is happening in this country…
THEN YOU, as the CDC, have zero right to push that crap.
Either you think there is a problem AND YOU DO MASSIVE SCREENING in San Francisco and NYC that had direct flights from Wuhan or you SHUT THE HELL UP!
Remember CDC sent out defective tests
CDC as early as Tuesday this week was saying
1. They were WORKING ON REFORMULATION of the defective reagent
2. Tired of Delays, U.S. Labs finally ask FDA if they could develop their own tests.
3. CDC said they would not test any cases that did not have a direct link to China
4. Meaning CDC refused to test the most recent case until she was so ill she required transfer to Univ Calif Davis.
5. CDC then waited from Sunday until Wednesday to give results. [Reading between the lines, UC-Davis flexed muscle and FINALLY got a response from the negligent CDC]

Now contrast the USA to South Korea.
On February 7th, S.K. IDs one case.
South Korea is testing something like 28,000 people
they have found 2,337 cases
they have 13 dead.
South Korea has now come up with a quick portable test.
http://www.arirang.com/index.asp
My anger at CDCs Fuster Cluck was what I was trying to convey. So again sorry I was not more clear.
Also President Trump has to both prepare AND prevent panic so he walks a fine line. If many of us do make sure we are prepared for the worse it will go a lot more smoothly. Taking reasonable precautions as FG&C has suggest cost next to nothing and can save you from illness. Remember there are two other varieties of flu going around and one is nasty.
You can go here for the weekly statistics including deaths from flu and pneumonia
https://www.cdc.gov/flu/weekly/#S7
For example:

Overall, hospitalization rates remain similar to this time during recent seasons, but rates among school aged children and young adults are higher at this time than in recent seasons and rates among children 0-4 years old are now the highest CDC has on record at this point in the season, surpassing rates reported during the second wave of the 2009 H1N1 pandemic.

So if you have little ones you need to take extra care. Forget the Wuhan virus, it has been a bad flu season. In the top 3 for the last decade.

26. Every person in this movement who has experienced combat or worked in law enforcement knows exactly what I’m saying. I guarantee you they find satisfaction in the little things rather than needing big and exciting events to excite them. They know the value of each victory.

27. There’s more I could say about this but really the point is, with each lesson learned, the mind of a soldier is further prepared. Warriors know that anger is best expressed in practice and training so that when real battle develops the mind is clear and not distracted.

28. We must learn to appreciate what some might call small victories, as we wait for bigger booms. Without satisfying the mind and without finding ways to stay focused yet rested…we’re going to struggle. Avoid drama. Be Ready, Be Best, PRAY.

God bless.

I smell a rat. There is legislation to renew Fisa, and it is tied to funding to fight the corona virus.

Well that explains the CDC suddenly pushing the ‘OH MY G-D WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE!’ after sitting on their hands for months.
Time to send all 29 SES members in the CDC to Wuhan for a month to inspect the virus and hospitals and treatment FIRST HAND. Many are doctors so I am sure the Chinese could use their help.

Great ads !!! Localized and authentic 🇺🇸🇺🇸💖💖

Alison, I thought that Colorado ad was phenomenal. That ad alone gives me hope we’ll get Colorado in November.

Alison

I just don’t know about Colorado – it’s become so urbanized by Lefties who’ve come from ultra Left states. Our state legislature is lost.
I will always hope for that to reverse itself.

“Good morning, kids. The weekend is here, and thank the Lord for that. While the coronavirus and its spreading is not to be taken lightly, the panic over a possible pandemic has been 100% manufactured and pimped by a media that both lives off of sensational scare headlines and is desperate to destroy President Trump. And when I say destroy President Trump, I mean destroy the American people for daring to defy them with their mostly unwavering support for him and concomitant rejection of them. Both the Dow Jones and S&P suffered their greatest single-day loss in history, the former down nearly 1,200 points at the close, which comes on the heels of a two-day dump of about 2,000 points. Yes, I am aware that investors do no like uncertainty, and when way too much of our and the world’s products are produced in China, something like this is of course going to have a negative effect.
But yesterday, when the markets seemed to be leveling off and cooler heads prevailing, mostly as a result of the President’s pitch-perfect press conference where he deftly dodged the gotcha brigades, Gavin Newsome, the man presiding over a state that has devolved into virtual third world status, announced that they were monitoring 8,400 coronavirus cases in California, a statement that, given the facts as I understand them I find very hard to believe. But Wall Street listened and the markets swooned. Again, we have every reason to be concerned about a potential spreading of the virus within the US, but given the state of our healthcare delivery system as opposed to the rest of the world, and the actual lethality of the virus compared to other things such as SARS, Mers and ebola, the fear is just unwarranted.
But the Democrat-Media Complex never lets a crisis go to waste. For them, the crisis is utter failure in their attempts to oust President Trump, and the even more disastrous failure of having his policies help every American better themselves, especially traditional Democrat constituencies which have been mired in misery for decades. Being demonstrably shown to be frauds, failures and swindlers, they could not allow that to stand. So, if causing a panic to spread 1,000 times faster than the actual virus wipes out close to $1 Trillion of average Americans’ investments and retirement accounts, with the added benefit of blaming it on the President’s tax and tariff policy along with general OrangeManBad and stupid, then so be it. What they are really doing, and they know they’re doing it, is inflicting pain and suffering on the American people as punishment for rejecting them in 2016 and most likely 2020. That, to me, goes beyond the merely criminal – it’s pure evil.
” (con’t)

“That said, as bad as things are, I think this too will ultimately fail. There is just no way PDT is going to allow the Democrat-Media Complex to define this as Trump’s Katrina, (which was quite obviously the perfect storm of Democrat incompetence and graft, but sadly Dubya felt defending himself by pointing that out was beneath him). The virus is going to peter out and the market is going to recover. The added political bonus is it gives the President and the GOP, if they’re smart enough to play along, ammunition to use the coronavirus as evidence for border security, strict immigration enforcement, and the disengagement from Globalist economic policies that moved so much of our manufacturing overseas and made us reliant on and vulnerable to a geopolitical enemy that we once foolishly believed we could make an ally by selling ourselves out to them (thank you Nixon, Bush and Clinton). By the way, that’s not a hypocritical politicization on my part; that’s a righteous and proper response to actual critical problems with real-world, serious consequences that we have ignored for far too long. No doubt, the President and team realize this and will act accordingly the next time Malig-Nancy Pelosi and Cuck Schemer open their cake-holes.
Lastly, on a very positive note, it looks as if Israeli researchers might be well on their way to a vaccine, and not two years down the road either. Yes, I can see the likes of Bro-Fo Omar and Bernie Sanders already, spewing “the evil Yahoodies have a cure because they created the virus in the first place, and now they want us to pay for it!” Well, they can always boycott the vaccine since they don’t want to chance getting Joo-Cooties. By the way, the same Israeli research center that might have a vaccine is the same one that is going full steam ahead on the total cancer cure.”

Dirt poor sucks, but tyranny and slavery under communism or Islamic repression sucks a heck of a lot more given that those are life sentences with no chance of parole. Trump people know this, we’ll take freedom over oppression any day. Let them bring their worse but it will be to their determent. If you got a brain, once you go free you never go back!

Compare with Mark Levin tipping us off to what the Democrats (Deep State) have been planning in plain sight:

Mark Levin: The Last People I Want Playing Doctor Are Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi
https://www.breitbart.com/clips/2020/02/28/mark-levin-the-last-people-i-want-playing-doctor-are-chuck-schumer-and-nancy-pelosi/

What is their plan? What the Schumer-Pelosi-Sanders-Biden-Buttigieg-Warren- Klobu — whatever? What are their plans? Well, they have great plans for containment — open borders, eliminate ICE, no vetting of foreigners, sanctuary cities, naturalize and destroy the greatest healthcare system on the face of the Earth, destroy our pharmaceutical companies that will come up with the solutions.
The solutions won’t be in any of Bernie Sanders’ favorite communist regimes. They won’t from the Scandinavian companies. They’ll come from us. They’ll come from capitalism. What do they support? Massive taxes. What is their containment plan? They have no containment plan. What is their vaccination development plan? They have no vaccination development plan. Meanwhile, they attack the president of the United States. The answers won’t come from the liberals and the Democrats, which is why they attack.

great post Michael !

Jay Inslee, sanctimonious prig, insults VP Pence.
@Lady_Penquin Mr @JayInslee must think he’s clever, insulting @VP – but no surprise, Inslee is the governor of a state sinking into despair of homelessness, exorbitant housing costs, run amok ANTIFA, & used druggie needles in their streets. Yes, tell us about Science & Safety, Gov.

You can bet VP Pence had a very sharp and piercing comeback for smart ass Inslee.

Absolutely!! I bet they have someone in mind….

I thought that he withdrew bc of the invasive nature and pressure on his family. Wont it be as bad or worse this time? How long will the process take? He should have a nice clean dept after Grenell is done.

Alison

Seeing comments that deal struck so Trump doesn’t oppose FISA renewal & Senate approves the appointment. Will see how this plays out. I love my President 💖🇺🇸💖🇺🇸

Volgarian8301

I do too. I think they hate Grenell so much this might work😉

Alison

I’m trying to imagine where President Trump will place Grenell in the 2nd term. Probably depends on whether we need to keep kicking EU butt via Germany. 😄

He has some pretty good media connections….could come in handy there. He’s been a good “ace in the hole”

Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson is the DC Judge that ruled Don McGahn must testify…a day later, this judge had to stay her own ruling…….I am glad that the Court of Appeals for DC, had some common sense
FYI Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson is also the judge that sentenced Senate Intelligence Committee Security Head James Wolfe to only two months for leaking the Top Secret/Highly Classified FISA Warrant on Carter Page to the NYT….
Judge Kentanji Brown Jackson and Judge Amy Berman Jackson…..two of a kind…

It took 9 hours to put out most of the huge fire at the Gare de Lyon in Paris today. Apparently there are still “hot spots” that are flaring up.
The fire was set by a group of Antifa types who were “protesting” a concert by a singer from the Congo. The group said that the singer was “too connected” to the Congolese government.
There is footage on twatterworld showing the “protesters” running off the Paris firemen who were trying to get into the gare to put out the fire. People were trapped on the parking deck and inside.
Just another day in the France of M. Macron.

scott467

If there were people trapped by the fire and blocking the firefighters…
A) the firefighters should be authorized to shoot anyone blocking them from saving lives, no different than if Martial Law was declared and authorities authorized the shooting of looters
and
B) any protestors who obstruct firefighters from saving lives should be charged with attempted murder of everyone trapped who survives
and
C) any protestors who obstruct firefighters should be charged with aggravated 1st degree murder of everyone trapped who dies
This is basic, straightforward stuff that anyone with a knowledge of how the world worked up until about a decade ago could figure out in under a second.
The most subversive thing the enemy has done is to turn reality upside down — in everything, but particularly with regard to keeping basic order — and they need to be convicted and put to death for it.

Hoping FISA is abolished. Tired of Americans being spied. Simply don’t trust DOJ and FIB! Unfortunately, FISA will survive with “reforms’>
FTA
Secret FISA court’s future in jeopardy, lawmakers say
GOP Rep. Scott Perry: Not even ’50-50 chance’ surveillance court survives without reform
Amid scandal and abuse, reforming the FISA surveillance system will not be easy. But without systemic reform, the secret court at the heart of the government’s surveillance authority may not even survive.
“I don’t even give [the secret FISA Court] a 50-50 chance” of survival in its present form, Rep. Scott Perry (R-Pa.) told Just The News.
Many Democrats and Republicans on Capitol Hill now say they are in agreement that something transformative must be done to fix shortcomings in the programs that allow government spying on U.S. citizens. But agreement on details is proving elusive.

As much as I want to see this problem permanently and completely fixed . . .
. . . I don’t think right now is just the right time to force it.
* Next Congress will be in a better position to do the job right
* Will have an electoral mandate
* All the smoke will be cleared on the FISA so we know what needs to be fixed and/or destroyed
* Dems really won’t get much say in the process, and they don’t deserve to have any

There is an article OT on the Raftcliffe nomination:
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2020/02/28/president-trump-nominates-john-ratcliffe-for-director-of-national-intelligence-ramifications/
As so often seems to happen, SD talks all AROUND the central question, without ever acknowledging or addressing it.
It’s incredible that someone can be so adept at doing this.
He mentions that SSCI chairmen Richard Burr (Traitor, R) and Mark Warner (Traitor, D) ‘boldly’ announced last time around that they would not support Ratcliffe, which they could not have done without Turtle McConnell’s blessing.
Now SD says it’s likely a deal has been struck by DJT with the Turtle, i.e., Turtle wants the FISA reauthorization (along with Lady Graham and AG Noarrestever), so Turtle is now willing to allow the nomination of Ratcliffe to be approved by the Senate in exchange for DJT signing the FISA reauthorization.
What SD never once mentions is this:
WHY would McConnell WANT the FISA reauthorization so badly?
Isn’t that a relevant question, if not the most obvious one?
According to SD, the DNI is the nuclear nerve center of the corrupt IC, and the DNI has the power to reach into any compartment (C_A, FIB, NSA, etc.) and declassify whatever is necessary to expose — for example — the most corrupt committee in the federal government (SSCI), headed by Burr and Warner.
Which acting DNI Ric Grennell can ALSO do, RIGHT NOW.
So what’s in it for the Turtle?
Grennell can expose Warner & Burr right now, and Ratcliffe will be able to expose them as soon as he is confirmed, so what good is reauthorizing FISA to the Turtle, if it brings down the SSCI — and why would Burr ever go along with bringing himself down?
And if Grennell can do it right now, then what actual leverage does the Turtle have to make a deal with DJT to get FISA reauthorized ANYWAY?

Linda

I have a suspicion that POTUS is using Grennell to scare the shit out of everyone, so they support Ratcliffe as the lesser of two evils.

Linda

This fact needs to be spread everywhere:

I was referring to the 2nd tweet. Not sure how the first one got in there.

How to Build a 30-Day Emergency Food Supply…Fast
February 28, 2020
by Daisy Luther, The Organic Prepper
https://www.sgtreport.com/2020/02/how-to-build-a-30-day-emergency-food-supplyfast/
If you’ve been paying attention to the news lately, you may be feeling on edge. You may feel as though time is running out for you to get your preparedness supplies and emergency food in order. You may be new to prepping, and feeling like there’s too much to accomplish. It seems like everything, everywhere, is sold out.
This feeling of urgency can make you feel hopeless and panicked, and that’s not productive. If you’re in a hurry, there’s no time for a lack of productivity. It’s time to focus and create your food supply immediately. If an event like a quarantine occurs during which you are unable to leave your home, you’ll want to make certain that you can keep food on the table without waiting for a handout to be doled out at the whim of some government agency. (If you are preparing for a potential coronavirus quarantine or pandemic, check out this best-selling book on the topic.)

Psychological and Physical Survival – Part 3
February 28, 2020
by K.B. MD, Survival Blog
https://www.sgtreport.com/2020/02/psychological-and-physical-survival-part-3/
PART 3 – PREVENTIVE STRATEGIES
Yesterday, in Part 2 we covered disaster’s effects such as depression, grief, and PTSD. Today in Part 3, we will focus on numerous preventive strategies. It is imperative to work proactively at protecting the psychological health of your entire group. This will require advance study and forethought for some unless you are blessed to have an individual in your group with medical and/or counseling experience to call upon. Nevertheless, it is crucial to think, read, and plan for psychological stress management as we do for other aspects of survival. Also keep in mind that these are skills and preparations that you definitely will use as an individual during your life even if there is no disaster or TEOTWAWKI. We will all face stress and loss which we will endure more successfully with some of the skills covered below and which will assist us in helping others in our homes and communities.
While I am a licensed M.D., retired disabled, I am not a psychiatrist and remind our readers that I am neither diagnosing nor prescribing. Please obtain prompt medical care from licensed practitioners as long as they are available.
