Dear KAG: 20200624 Open Thread

Let’s see, how has Q inspired us today….

Well, the singer may not need an F-15, but I wouldn’t mind one.

Okay, some travelling music on this journey we call life.

And now for the obligatory message from our sponsors:

Here at the Q tree we believe in the concept of CIVIL open free speech and the discussion that fleshes out ideas. When commenting and participating in the OPEN discussion on this thread all comments MUST NOT CONTAIN personal threats, baiting, name calling, or other anti-social words fomenting hate, violence or destruction. Our host Wolfm00n has strict rules about that.

Fellow tree dweller Wheatie gave us some good reminders on the basics of civility in political discourse:

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

In addition, it is requested that there be no swinging from the chandeliers, celebratory gunfire, messing around with the nuclear weapons, and, please, everyone wash your hands.

Please, do not forget to apply sunscreen after a sensible amount of time in the sun so as to beef up the level of vitamin D in the system.

Please remember to remain locked and loaded and ready for trouble should the insurrectionists try to invade your space.

Those who have things to say that do not fit the generally accepted limits of “civil” discussion, Wolf has provided a venue known as the UTree which is currently going through its water cooler/canteen phase. Please, venture over there for any such thoughts and comments. This sort of thing is always a possibility on that site:

A few other vital notes:

Please, review these rules that our host Wolfm00n outlined toward the beginning of the growth of the tree itself. it won’t take long.

Ridiculing the other side, on the other hand…well….

IS 49:1-6

Hear me, O coastlands,
listen, O distant peoples.
The LORD called me from birth,
from my mother’s womb he gave me my name.
He made of me a sharp-edged sword
and concealed me in the shadow of his arm.
He made me a polished arrow,
in his quiver he hid me.
You are my servant, he said to me,
Israel, through whom I show my glory.

Though I thought I had toiled in vain,
and for nothing, uselessly, spent my strength,
yet my reward is with the LORD,
my recompense is with my God.
For now the LORD has spoken
who formed me as his servant from the womb,
that Jacob may be brought back to him
and Israel gathered to him;
and I am made glorious in the sight of the LORD,
and my God is now my strength!
It is too little, he says, for you to be my servant,
to raise up the tribes of Jacob,
and restore the survivors of Israel;
I will make you a light to the nations,
that my salvation may reach to the ends of the earth.

As always, prayers for the fight against that which seeks to enslave us are welcome.

Please include: President Donald Trump, the Q team, our soldiers in the field, special forces, tactical units, members of the Cabinet, first responders and those working behind the scenes.

May you live in interesting times…yeah another thing we got from China, a crappy fortune.

Just a little reminder of what the enemy is here, including the first five minutes and twenty seconds that could be repeated by President Trump re the press pretty much verbatim. The entire speech is worth listening to, not simply for the stellar construction of the text, but to understand what President Kennedy asked of the mainstream media, and what they failed to deliver.

https://youtu.be/F-AZV3qnwkA

This is our beloved Very Special Genius’s version of essentially the same thing albeit with more than five decades of the warnings of President Kennedy ignored.

And on Saturday evening at the rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, the familiar phrase describing one arm of said establishment came up:

The roots of said Military Industrial Complex go back to World War One, and the War Industries Board. That’s over a hundred years. Undoing it all is taking time, and as Attorney General Barr explained to Maria Bartiromo over the weekend, the COVID situation and Antifa antics are causing the wheels of justice to grind to a halt. (See Wolfm00n’s excellent piece from Sunday for the details.)

A little mood music is in order:

And now for the nitty gritty of the Q Tree 5 minute, stand up, Tuesday morning meeting version of the Daily Thread.

Ahem.

Guidelines for posting and discussion on this site were outlined by our host, WolfM00n. Please, review them from time to time.

The discourse on this site is to be CIVIL – no name calling, baiting, or threatening others here is allowed. Those who are so inclined may visit Wolf’s other sanctuary, the U-Tree, to slog it out.

This site is a celebration of the natural rights endowed to humans by our Creator as well as those enshrined in the Bill of Rights adopted in the founding documents of the United States of America. Within the limits of law, how we exercise these rights is part of the freedom of our discussion.

Fellow tree dweller Wheatie gave us some good reminders on the basics of civility in political discourse:

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

We’re still in the Sermon on the Mount at this point in the cycle:


MT 7:1-5

Jesus said to his disciples:
“Stop judging, that you may not be judged.
For as you judge, so will you be judged,
and the measure with which you measure will be measured out to you.
Why do you notice the splinter in your brother’s eye,
but do not perceive the wooden beam in your own eye?
How can you say to your brother,
‘Let me remove that splinter from your eye,’
while the wooden beam is in your eye?
You hypocrite, remove the wooden beam from your eye first;
then you will see clearly
to remove the splinter from your brother’s eye.”

As always, prayers for the fight against that which seeks to enslave us are welcome. Via con Dios.

Muh Drumpf Sends Signal To Moscow – Start Your Printers!

Beware the predictable calls against mail-in ballots by John Brennan, Jim Comey, and all those LOSER AMERIKANSKIS who tried to stop MUH VLADDY last time. Sorry – too late. Moscow is stealing this election again, Democrat losers and haters, and there is NOTHING you can do about it.

BWA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!!

Yes, it’s too late to stop mail-in ballots, and Democrats are going to LOSE AGAIN. President Trump has now spilled the beans, so I can come out OPENLY and support Russian Mail-In Ballots!

NOW do you see why Drumpf backed aging, senile, boob-job veteran Nancy Pelosi for Speaker, and helped kill off honest socialist Bernie Sanders, so that y’all would be stuck with literally demented Joe Biden as his opponent?

OMG, this operation was so SLICK! Trump even got Pelosi herself to push for the mail-in ballots, while “defending” against the idea.

I mean, seriously. POLIDENT? You think Polident gonna figure this shit out? Maybe just NOW!

Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!

Did I say it? I’ll say it again.

BWA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!!

You Democrats think “Hands” Biden is gonna figure out Trump’s cunning triple-reverso-with-a-backflip imposition of RUSSIAN MAIL-IN-BALLOTS? A Machiavellian Sun-Tzu master who got YOU to ask for the Russian win?

Hands Biden? Who got schooled by THE KEEBLER ELF?

“Smugs” Biden, a.k.a. Captain Obvious, who could not – in his PRIME at the Clarence Thomas hearings – even conceal his foolish hatred for a black guy who always was and always will be 100 times smarter than good-old-boy “Plagiarize” Biden?

The hair-sniffin’, nursing home-qualified, Basement Joe? Your “funny uncle” who needs to be in a home NOW, where nobody will see him hitting on therapists like some ULTRA-BOOMER from pre-feminist hell? This guy is gonna stop PUTIN and TRUMP? THIS GUY???

A guy who – UNLIKE Trump, who runs rings around Twitter – has to be HELPED by Facebook?

Yup. TOO LATE, DEMOCRATS. You’re stuck with OLD LOSERS who think these riots are going to help. They ain’t gonna help. They’re gonna seal the deal for Putin and Trump.

Let me say the word FROM YOUR LIPS that will chill you to the BONE, Dems:

Authoritarians.”

Hey, you called it, Dumb-o-crats.

I’m predicting a TRUMP LANDSLIDE.

NOW – here is the killer. This is why Mail-In Ballots will favor TRUMP and not BIDEN.

The Quality of Forgery Goes To The Russians.

I repeat.

The Quality of Forgery Goes To The Russians.

You guys think China can pull you out of this?

HA! Too late. Maybe in 500 years. Not today.

NO WAY.

Russia has always been WAY BETTER than China at every form of document-based fraud in the West. And this is an extension of their general ability to counterfeit things, which is legendary among those of us who are WISE to how crafty the Russians REALLY ARE.

You always catch Chinese counterfeit EVERYTHING.

You NEVER catch Russian counterfeit ANYTHING.

Did you ever stop to wonder WHY?

OMG, this is so perfect.

All Trump has to do is implement some kind of “Election Integrity” to weed out forgeries, fraud, and bad ballots.

The pulled ballots will ALL be Chinese crap favoring Democrats.

BLAME THE VICTIM. “Democrat fraud!!!” LOL.

The RUSSIAN BALLOTS for Trump will sail right through, fooling everybody.

SO – here is my advice to Republicans.

Yeah, it’s good cover to OPPOSE mail-in ballots, but don’t fight them too hard – OK? *WINK*

“Vlad’s got this.”

Wheatie’s Word of the Day:

Portmanteau

Portmanteau is a noun that comes from the French words porter, meaning “to carry,” and manteau, meaning “mantle or cloak”, thus the plural of portmanteau is portmanteaux, following the French form for pluralization.

It can refer to a large leather suitcase that opens into two hinged compartments…or it can also refer to a word formed by combining two other words, such as ‘smog’ from combining smoke and fog.

Examples of Portmanteaux: animatronic (animate/electronics), bromance (brother/romance), chocoholic (chocolate + alcoholic), cosplay (costume + play), motel(motor/hotel).

Used in a sentence:

The English language is full of portmanteaux, with new ones being made all the time.

Q POST 4489

Once you see it, you CANNOT unsee it.

I can now explain EVERYTHING – including why certain actions were taken behind the scenes to influence ME and other people here (not all of which I can tell you about). But THAT is just “dotting the I” and “crossing the T”. CIA-DNC-CCP-UN-level stuff.

No – the BIG PICTURE – why the DNC very likely BEGGED China to release the virus – is all here.

What you need to do, to see what I see, is simple.

  • Read Q Drop 4489 (below).
  • Understand this line: “COVID-2 [C]: Lockdown(s)” means COMING COVID BULLSHIT – meaning however the leftists pull off “COVID-20” (could be a variety of scams)
  • WATCH the YouTube interview of AG Barr by Maria Bartiromo, starting at 21:45 and then watch for at least 5 minutes
  • Read Q Drop 4489 AGAIN

You will answer the “Hollywood” question – what good actors ask – at a very deep level:

“What’s their motivation?”

This is the desperation of a criminal ON THE RUN, fleeing to safety.

If the criminal can JUST…..

  • start the car and flee
  • run through ONE last stop-light
  • kill ONE witness
  • get back to their house
  • jump out of the car
  • tell ONE more lie
  • change the story ONE more time

…..everything will be OK.

This RESET of your vision by SEEING and FEELING their motivation, will let YOU be a better COP going after them.

SO HERE WE GO.


Here is that image again…..

NOW

Understand that Q is talking about BOTH past AND future.

COVID-2 [C]: Lockdown(s)
Lockdown(s) +C: POTUS economic gains wiped
Lockdown(s) +C: POTUS unemployment gains wiped

Q is using “COVID-2” as a moniker for the “second wave” or “next virus” or “mutation” or WHATEVER STORY/REALITY THEY COOK UP. Then Q shortens THAT to “C”.

Thus, Q repeatedly refers to the EFFECTS OF EXTENDING THE LOCKDOWNS.

It’s a simple point – you probably already understood it – but it helps to see WHY Trump is not going to let them get away with it – WHATEVER it is.

OK – now watch BARR answer questions. THIS is critical. BARR speaks to the EFFECTS of the lockdowns ALREADY.

Don’t watch the whole thing yet – you can do that later. Take Q’s advice and FOCUS on 21:45 forward – IMO for at least 5 minutes (26:45).

HERE YOU GO:

https://youtu.be/qlqWMazIYUQ

Every ADMISSION that Barr makes.

It’s criminality saving itself through politics.

Yes, even FRAUDULENT SCIENCE will be used to try to save themselves.

It is LITERAL obstruction of justice, using MURDER as a tool, and on an international scale. The CRIMINAL NATURE of communism and associated CORRUPTION is trying to SAVE ITSELF.

We will have to be PEACEFUL, but DEFEND OURSELVES SMARTLY.

Dear KMAG: 20200621 Open Topic

This Sanctuary Sunday Open Thread, with full respect to those who worship God on the Sabbath, is a place to reaffirm our worship of our Creator, our Father, our King Eternal. It’s an opportunity to let the events of this world grow increasingly dim, while we focus on things above – God’s glory and grace.

It’s also a place to read, post and discuss news that is worth knowing and sharing. Please post links to any news stories that you use as sources or quote from.

In the QTree, we’re a friendly and civil lot. We encourage free speech and the open exchange and civil discussion of different ideas. Topics aren’t constrained, and sound logic is highly encouraged, all built on a solid foundation of truth and established facts.

We have a policy of mutual respect, shown by civility. Civility encourages discussions, promotes objectivity and rational thought in discourse, and camaraderie in the participants – characteristics we strive toward in our Q Tree community.

Please show respect and consideration for your fellow QTreepers. Before hitting the “post” button, please proofread your post and make sure you’re addressing the issue only, and not trying to confront the poster.

Keep to the topic – avoid “you” and “your”. Here in The Q Tree, personal attacks, name calling, ridicule, insults, baiting and other conduct for which a penalty flag would be thrown are VERBOTEN.

In The Q Tree, we’re compatriots, sitting around the campfire, roasting hot dogs, making s’mores and discussing, agreeing, and disagreeing about whatever interests us. This board will remain a home for those who seek respectful conversations.

Please also consider the Guidelines for posting and discussion , outlined here. Let’s not give the Internet Censors a reason to shut down this intellectual haven that Wolf has created for us.


The Infallible Posture

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. (Ephesians 6:10-11)

We look at the struggle of life in the light of Paul’s great revelation that “we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities and powers, the rulers of this world’s present darkness, the spiritual hosts of wickedness in high places.”

We see that all that happens to us in our lives as Christians which discourages us, defeats us, confuses us, or renders us indifferent to the great truth of God is part of this great struggle. It is a manifestation of this conflict in which we are engaged.

We are aware of failures, of problems, of weakness, of obstinacy and stubbornness, of rebellion, and other things in our life of which we are not proud. These again have been manifestations of this great struggle in which we are engaged.

We are coming now to a time of conflict, another time of struggle. What can we do about this? How can we fight back? In practical terms, what can we do about the struggle we face?

First, we put on the armor of God. Paul says, “Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.” The clear implication is that if we do not put on the whole armor of God, we will not be able to stand. If we are doubtful about that, life itself will prove it to us. We cannot stand without this armor which represents what we are in Christ and what Christ is to us now, in very practical terms.

Everything rests ultimately on that first piece of armor, which is Jesus Christ as the truth. Let us gird up our loins with the girdle of truth. All Christian faith relates to and derives from the authority of Jesus Christ. He is the truth. That is the first thing. We are to put on the whole armor of God.

Second, he tells us we are to pray. Not merely put on the armor, but also pray. Not only to think about what Christ is and the great truths he reveals, but also to talk to God about them, to lean on his help, to hold conversation with him, to engage ourselves directly and personally with the God who is our strength and our help. We can talk to him and pray about all things.

Now we come to the third and last thing in the apostle’s admonition to us in this passage. It is given to us in but one word, but a word which is repeated four different times throughout this entire passage. It is the word stand.

Put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil…Therefore take the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore. (Ephesians 6:11, 6:13-14a)

Everything aims at this, that we might be able to stand. What does it mean, “to stand”?  We are to refuse to move from the ground of faith we have taken, refuse to yield ground, stand. Now why does the apostle put it this way? Why does he not say fight? Having done all, fight! Put on the whole armor of God and advance, charge. Why does he not use some military term that speaks of moving out?

We must take these words seriously, for, after all, these are not play words used lightly. These are serious commands given in a very serious fight. The apostle uses the word stand because it is the only proper word to use. It is the only word which describes the final attitude we must have to insure absolute victory.

As we look at this word more carefully, we can see that it touches on three aspects of the struggle of life: First, the use of this word stand reveals to us the intensity of the struggle in which we are involved. We are told to stand because there are times when that is all we can do. The most we can possibly hope to achieve at times is that we should simply stand, unmoved. The intensity of the conflict becomes so furious, so fierce, there is nothing else we can do but simply hold oue ground. That is what this word implies to us.

Paul has already spoken in this passage about evil days which come. These are days when circumstances simply stagger us, when we face some combination of events, some disheartening tragedy or circumstance that almost knocks us off our feet and we can do nothing else but hope to stand where we are. There are times when doubts plague us. We are exposed to intellectual attacks and we find we have all we can do to assert any degree of faith at all. There are situations and circumstances into which we come when we are overwhelmed with fears and anxieties and we scarcely can keep our heads, because we are under pressure. There are times when indifference seems to sap our spiritual strength so much we lose all our vitality. It drains away our will to act, our motivation, and we seem unable to make ourselves do the simplest things to maintain faith.

This is all part of the struggle. We get disturbed when we see our growth in the Christian life apparently stopped. Our ministry or our witness seems to be impossible or ineffective. All the challenge and keenness of our spiritual life is gone. What are we to do then? Paul says we are to gird up our loins, put on the whole armor of God, pray, and having done all, stand! Stay right where you are until the attack lessens. This is the final word.

“Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith by giving heed to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons,” (1 Timothy 4:1). We read that as though it were a prediction of the closing moments of the age. But the “latter times” means the whole of the age, from our Lord’s first coming until his second. Paul is not talking about one particular time of trouble reserved for the last moment; he is talking about troubles which come throughout the whole course of these latter days.

But the Word also makes clear that these troubles become fiercer in intensity and more widespread in their impact as the age draws to its close. There is a growing awareness in our day that we live in a one-world community. We are no longer separated from other peoples by great distances of thought or time. What happens on the other side of the world today affects us tomorrow. We are very much aware of this.

The vaunted solutions of men are not working. The approaches to these problems upon which men pin their faith — such as education, scientific discoveries, economic improvements, better legislation — these things are not working.

It is getting worse, because, as we have seen all along, the issue never lies in these superficial, surface realms. It lies much deeper, in the hearts and souls of men under the domination of cruel and resistless power that dominates the world, whom Paul calls “the world rulers of this present darkness.” Only the delivering strength of Jesus Christ is adequate to deal with them.

That is the world we are facing, and because of it, there are many who are faltering. God is permitting this in order to separate the phony from the true. He says he will do this; the Word makes it very clear. There is a passage in Hebrews where we are definitely told that the things which can be shaken will be shaken. God is allowing these testings to reveal the genuine and to remove what can be shaken in order that what cannot be shaken might remain.

Therefore, evil days come. When they come into your own personal experience you will need to remember that the Word of God to you is to put on the whole armor of God, to pray, and then stand. Perhaps you will realize that there is nothing else you can do, but that you can win if you stand.

There is a second aspect of the struggle indicated by this word stand. It indicates to us the character of the battle the Christian faces. We are to stand because this is a defensive action, primarily. The proper defense will win the day. If a castle is under attack from an army, the battle is not won by those in the castle venturing forth to overwhelm the army outside. The battle is won by repelling all invasion. This is a picture of our Christian life. This is a defensive battle, not offensive. We are not out to take new ground; we are to defend that which is already ours.

In the Christian battle the offensive work was done almost 2000 years ago at the cross and the resurrection. The Lord Jesus is the only one who has the power and strength to take the offensive in this great battle with the prince of darkness. But he has already done that. All that we possess as believers is already given to us. We do not fight for it. We do not battle to be saved, or fight to be justified, or forgiven, or accepted into the family of God. All these things are given to us. They were won by another, who, in the words of Paul in Colossians, “took principalities and powers and nailed them to his cross, triumphing over them in it” (Colossians 2:14-15), and led them captive who had held the world captive.

We are to hold on to that which God gives us and not let any of it be lost or taken from us, as to our use of it. This is what the phrase “contend earnestly for the faith” means.  It means to hold on to what God has already given you and utilize it to the full. As Paul writes to the Corinthians, “Stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong,” (1 Corinthians 16:13 KJV). Do not surrender an inch of ground, even though others do.

The Christian who learns to stand, to give up no segment of his faith, but to put on the armor of God and to pray and thus be immovable, is the only Christian who in any way will reflect the love of Christ in the midst of unlovely situations.

There is a third aspect of the struggle suggested by this word. It is the certainty of victory. If putting on the armor of God and prayer makes it possible to stand unmoved and immovable, then nothing more is required to win. After all, if a castle cannot be taken, the attacking army has nothing left to do but to withdraw. There is nothing else it can do. It is defeated, beaten.

Any saint, any believer, even the newest and weakest, who stands in the strength of Christ, puts on the whole armor of God, and, in dependence upon the presence of God in prayer, stands, then the devil is always defeated.

The devil ultimately must be defeated if anyone will simply stand on what God has said. It is his fate continually to be defeated by the very weapons he tries to use against God and his people.

The cross is the great example of this. The cross looked like the supreme achievement of the devil, the supreme moment of victory when all the powers of darkness were howling with glee as they saw the Son of God beaten and wounded, rejected and despised, hanging upon a cross, naked, before all the world. It looked like the triumph of darkness. Jesus said it was: “This is your hour,” he said, “and the power of darkness,” (Luke 22:53b). But it was that very moment when the devil lost. In the cross all that the devil had risked was defeated, beaten down, and the devil and all his angels were disarmed and openly displayed as defeated by the power of Jesus Christ.

This is what God does all through life. The devil sends sickness, defeat, death, darkness, pain, suffering, and tragedy. It is all the work of Satan. But that is not the whole of the story. God takes those very things — those very things! — and uses them to strengthen us and bless us, to teach us and enlarge us and fulfill us, if we stand. This is the whole story.

This is what it means to stand. One of these days, the Bible says, the struggle will end. It will end for all of us at the end of our lives, but it can end before that in the coming of the Lord. Someday it will be over, there is no doubt. And someday it will be said to some, “Well done, good and faithful servant.”

20200620: MAGA Rally, Tulsa, Oklahoma

I do believe Oklahoma is the only state with an entire Rogers and Hammerstein musical named for it. Here’s the title song with the original cast. Brings back memories of my 9-year old dance recital when my class was dressed as cowgirls with tap shoes. I know it doesn’t quite work, but I have the pictures to prove it really happened.

Post Louisiana Purchase history of the state from wiki:

The territory now known as Oklahoma was first a part of the Arkansas Territory from 1819 until 1828.

During the 19th century, thousands of Native Americans were expelled from their ancestral homelands from across North America and transported to the area including and surrounding present-day Oklahoma. The Choctaw was the first of the Five Civilized Tribes to be removed from the Southeastern United States. The phrase “Trail of Tears” originated from a description of the removal of the Choctaw Nation in 1831, although the term is usually used for the Cherokee removal.[69]

Seventeen thousand Cherokees and 2,000 of their black slaves were deported.[70] The area, already occupied by Osage and Quapaw tribes, was called for the Choctaw Nation until revised Native American and then later American policy redefined the boundaries to include other Native Americans. By 1890, more than 30 Native American nations and tribes had been concentrated on land within Indian Territory or “Indian Country”.[71]

All Five Civilized Tribes supported and signed treaties with the Confederate military during the American Civil War.[72] The Cherokee Nation had an internal civil war.[73] Slavery in Indian Territory was not abolished until 1866.[74]

In the period between 1866 and 1899,[67] cattle ranches in Texas strove to meet the demands for food in eastern cities and railroads in Kansas promised to deliver in a timely manner. Cattle trails and cattle ranches developed as cowboys either drove their product north or settled illegally in Indian Territory.[67] In 1881, four of five major cattle trails on the western frontier traveled through Indian Territory.[75]

Increased presence of white settlers in Indian Territory prompted the United States Government to establish the Dawes Act in 1887, which divided the lands of individual tribes into allotments for individual families, encouraging farming and private land ownership among Native Americans but expropriating land to the federal government. In the process, railroad companies took nearly half of Indian-held land within the territory for outside settlers and for purchase.[76]The Dust Bowl sent thousands of farmers into poverty during the 1930s.

Major land runs, including the Land Run of 1889, were held for settlers where certain territories were opened to settlement starting at a precise time. Usually land was open to settlers on a first come first served basis.[77] Those who broke the rules by crossing the border into the territory before the official opening time were said to have been crossing the border sooner, leading to the term sooners, which eventually became the state’s official nickname.[78]

Deliberations to make the territory into a state began near the end of the 19th century, when the Curtis Act continued the allotment of Indian tribal land.

Well, that was perfectly depressing. Every transgression the wiki contributors could find naturally found its way into a description for a state that has scenery like this.

Oklahoma once was open grazing land for bison and cattle. Now, according to the tourism site Trip Advisor:

With hundreds of man-made lakes, state parks, casinos, museums and nightlife and dining opportunities in revitalized downtown areas in Oklahoma City and Tulsa, there is a lot to see and do in the Sooner State. The state is dotted with phenomenal lakes where swimming, boating and bass fishing are the most desired activities. Some of the state’s most popular lakes include Broken Bow Lake located near the Quachita Mountains; Grand Lake in the northeastern corner of the state at the foothills of the Ozark Mountains and Lake Murray in the hills in the southern part of the state. While the state is known for its many outdoor activities like great fishing, golf, hiking, canoeing and boating, make sure you don’t overlook its fantastic museums. Heading the list are Gilcrease Museum in Tulsa, featuring the world’s largest collection of art and artifacts from the American West; the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City, which tells the story of the American Cowboy; and the Oklahoma City Museum of Art, which has a permanent collection of American and European art. A venerable family favorite activity is Frontier City Amusement Park in Oklahoma City, which has dozens of rides and shows.

As for Tulsa:

The heart of Oklahoma beckons with over 140 parks, plus a variety of cultural attractions and entertainment venues sure to satisfy all ages and interests. Whether you’re looking for world-class art, ballet, opera or just a day at the zoo, Tulsa is a great choice for a quick getaway. On the culture front, you could spend an entire weekend touring the city’s fine museums. The Gilgrease, the Museum of Jewish Art and the Philbrook all offer fascinating exhibits in their respective areas of expertise. Anyone with an interest in gardens will not want to miss the Tulsa Garden Center and its extensive horticultural library plus other resources related to all things green. Outdoor endeavors include Bells Amusement Park, golf and River Parks, 20 miles of paved recreation trails that run along the Arkansas River and weave past picnic areas, playgrounds, fountains and sculptures.

The art museum there certainly has a pretty elevation.

Why Tulsa first, we aren’t sure, but today marks the start of the 2020 Trump for president campaign. Essentially, it’s MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN Part Deux, and the party has begun.

So much for mask wearing and social distancing. This guy pretty much says it.

Just for comparison, this is the competition.

Oh, are we in for a good time this year. Four months, one week and four days…I think. It’s going to be one heck of a ride.

2020·06·20 KMAG Daily Thread

Well, one hopes there won’t be too much posting today…on account of the Mega MAGA Rally. A post is planned for that one, or so I’m told.

Justice Served At Last?

I’m genuinely surprised the Left hasn’t gone apeshit over this. We’ve been hearing that having an Antifa dirtbag shot or otherwise harmed by one of their intended victims is precisely what they want…so why aren’t they trying to use this?

https://twitter.com/ninoboxer/status/1273044398226444290
Justice Done

We’ve heard nothing. Not about the intended victim/shooter, and not about the aggressor/shootee. Some of the comments claim the shooter was arrested, and none of the Antifa thugs was.

But some digging reveals a few things: Per the Albuquerque Journal, the shooter is Steven Baca, 31, and Baca was apparently charged with felony aggravated battery and unlawful carry of a deadly weapon. The shootee was Scott Williams, 39, and he has survived.

Apparently, before this video started, Baca had assaulted three women and what you see here is him being pursued by their friends. If so they went over the top swinging blunt objects at him, but people would tend to have sympathy with them.

This would only help the Left push the line that they are righteous and being attacked by the mean evil Right.

So why isn’t the Left pumping this for all it’s worth?

A Reminder Of Today’s Issues.

Our movement is about replacing a failed and corrupt political establishment with a new government controlled by you, the American People...Our campaign represents a true existential threat, like they’ve never seen before.

OK now for the fine print.

This is the WQTH Daily Thread. You know the drill. There’s no Political correctness, but civility is a requirement. There are Important Guidelines,  here, with an addendum on 20191110.

We have a new board – called The U Tree – where people can take each other to the woodshed without fear of censorship or moderation.

And remember Wheatie’s Rules:

1. No food fights
2. No running with scissors.
3. If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.
4. The gun is always loaded.
4a. If you actually want the gun to be loaded, like because you’re checking out a bump in the night, then it’s empty.
5. Never point the gun at anything you’re not willing to destroy.
6. Keep your finger off the trigger until ready to fire.
7. Be sure of your target and what is behind it.

(Hmm a few extras seem to have crept in.)

Coin of The Day

The figure of Justice, complete with balance scales, goes back a long time. It appears on the 2015 commemorative issued for the 225th anniversary of the US Marshalls (who I hope are getting busy now). Though they did omit the usual sword.

https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Dqu9IGFTbtA/VJ13FODF8AI/AAAAAAAARL4/q8BeB1xA-yU/s1600/2015%2BU.S.%2BMarshals%2BService%2B225th%2BAnniversary%2BCommemorative%2BClad%2BProof%2BCoin%2Breverse.jpg

There’s another rendering on this coin from Niue, a Pacific Island country that seems to make all of its money from selling coins to collectors. This time she has a sword.

https://firstcoincompany.com/S/image/cache/data/IH/AUR/niue-island-lustitia-1-aureus-series-gold-printing-silver-coin-2014-proof-first-coin-company-reverse-900×900.jpg

Notice though the applied gold coloring–it’s a reproduction of a Roman coin that appears to be from the reign of Vespasian, 69-79 CE (IMPCAESAR VE…NVS AUG; the dots are what’s covered by the rendering of the other side of the coin; I am guessing the word in full is “VESPASIANVS”), with “IVSTITIA” (Justice) on the reverse. Vespasian, before he became emperor, beseiged Jerusalem.

Here, she’s not holding scales but sometimes is seen on Roman coins doing precisely that. Like on this next coin:

This apparently was from the time of Trajan (98-117 CE), as in “Trajan’s Column,” as in “Dacia,” modern Romania. Trajan’s column still stands in Rome, and its construction was a notable feat of ancient engineering.

This FEARLESS FRIDAY and Juneteenth open thread is OPENVERY 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.

Keep it SOMEWHAT civil. 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 OLD January 1st , 2019 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!


AND WHAT TIME IS IT?

TIME TO….

DRAIN THE SWAMP

Our movement

Is about replacing

A failed

Dear KAG: 20200618 Open Thread

Ain’t it the truth? For false flags, for sure.

Mood music…it’s summer…we’re living in interesting times…I’ve opened one too many fortune cookie….

What can I say…I’m a product of the 80s.

As usual, this is the daily thread, the place to put all information that needs to be out there – Q drops, Q drop decodes, potential riot information, rumors about MAGA rallies starting up again, news flashes, WuFlu updates (is that still a thing?), satire, memes, and of course cute animal videos.

In the meantime, the short and sweet version of “THE RULES” is here borrowed from Tuesday:

Guidelines for posting and discussion on this site were outlined by our host, WolfM00n. Please, review them from time to time.

The discourse on this site is to be CIVIL – no name calling, baiting, or threatening others here is allowed. Those who are so inclined may visit Wolf’s other sanctuary, the U-Tree, to slog it out.

This site is a celebration of the natural rights endowed to humans by our Creator as well as those enshrined in the Bill of Rights adopted in the founding documents of the United States of America. Within the limits of law, how we exercise these rights is part of the freedom of our discussion.

Fellow tree dweller Wheatie gave us some good reminders on the basics of civility in political discourse:

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

Since it is almost the weekend, the reminders are in place to not swing from the chandeliers, wash your hands and face, marinate the ribs, and be nice to the liberals whether they deserve it or not. Making your bed, OTOH, is optional.

Company manners, on the other hand, are greatly appreciated even if they aren’t necessary.

That’s a lot of work when so many people eat finger food these days.

Psalm 96(97)

For the same David, when his land was restored again to him. The Lord hath reigned, let the earth rejoice: let many islands be glad. [2] Clouds and darkness are round about him: justice and judgment are the establishment of his throne. [3] A fire shall go before him, and shall burn his enemies round about. [4] His lightnings have shone forth to the world: the earth saw and trembled. [5] The mountains melted like wax, at the presence of the Lord: at the presence of the Lord of all the earth.

[6] The heavens declared his justice: and all people saw his glory. [7] Let them be all confounded that adore graven things, and that glory in their idols. Adore him, all you his angels: [8] Sion heard, and was glad. And the daughters of Juda rejoiced, because of thy judgments, O Lord. [9] For thou art the most high Lord over all the earth: thou art exalted exceedingly above all gods. [10] You that love the Lord, hate evil: the Lord preserveth the souls of his saints, he will deliver them out of the hand of the sinner.

[11] Light is risen to the just, and joy to the right of heart. [12] Rejoice, ye just, in the Lord: and give praise to the remembrance of his holiness.

Here’s to avoiding speed traps and liberal Karens empowered by the nanny state who feel they must lecture the rest of us on proper social distancing and decorum, and all the insurrectionists arrested.

Now, how can I end this….

Quick addition from after this post was scheduled:
