Joe Biden didn’t win. This is our Real President:
AND our beautiful REALFLOTUS.
Get your rest, Trumpy Bear! You’re going back to the White House!!!
We have to RESCUE it from THE SNIFFER OF KIDS!
The Business At Hand
This Stormwatch Monday Open Thread remains 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 (with KMAG being a bit of both).
And indeed, it’s Monday…again.
But we WILL NOT let that keep us down!
The Rules
Boilerplate, more or less, but worth reading again and again, if only for the minor changes, and to stay out of moderation.
The bottom line is Free Speech. Theories and ideas you don’t agree with must be WELCOME here, and you must be part of that welcoming. But you do NOT need to be part of any agreement.
Because without Free Speech, we’re little more than SLEEPY THE KID-SNIFFER’S banana republic of SOUTH CANUCKISTAN.
SO….. [ENGAGE BOILERPLATE…..]
We must endeavor to persevere to love our frenemies – even here.
Those who cannot deal with this easy requirement will be forced to jump the hoops of moderation, so that specific comments impugning other posters and violating the minimal rules can be sorted out and tossed in the trash.
In Wheatie’s words, “We’re on the same side here so let’s not engage in friendly fire.”
That includes the life skill of just ignoring certain other posters.
We do have a site – The U Tree – where civility is not a requirement. Interestingly, people don’t really go there much. Nevertheless, if you find yourself in an “argument” that can’t really stay civil, please feel free to “take it to the U Tree”. The U Tree is also a good place to report any technical difficulties, if you’re unable to report them here. Please post your comment there on one of Wolf’s posts, or in reply to one of Wolf’s comments, to make sure he sees it (though it may take a few hours).
We also have a backup site, called The Q Tree as well, which is really The Q Tree 579486807. You might call it “Second Tree”. The URL for that site is https://theqtree579486807.wordpress.com/. If this site (theqtree.com) ever goes down, please reassemble at the Second Tree.
If the Second Tree goes down, please go to The U Tree, or to our Gab Group, which is located at https://gab.com/groups/4178.
We also have some “old rules” and important guidelines, outlined here, in a very early post, on our first New Year’s Day, in 2019. The main point is not to make violent threats against people, which then have to be taken seriously by law enforcement, and which can be used as a PRETEXT by enemies of this site.
In the words of Wheatie, “Let’s not give the odious Internet Censors a reason to shut down this precious haven that Wolf has created for us.”
A Moment of Prayer
Our policy on extreme religious freedom on this site is discussed HERE. Please feel free to pray and praise God anytime and anywhere.
Thus, please pray for our real President, the one who actually won the election.
You may pray for Justice as well, because TRUTH, JUSTICE, and THE AMERICAN WAY are all worth the prayers!
MUSICAL INTERLUDE
For your listening enjoyment, and general encouragement, we continue Wheatie’s tradition of fine music videos, shipped fresh from the seas of information by our intrepid authors.
This one MAY have been posted by Wheatie back in the day.
Check out the date. Then be sure to check out the end credits.

Call To Battle
Our beloved country is under Occupation by hostile forces.
Daily outrage and epic phuckery abound.
We can give in to despair…or we can be defiant and fight back in any way that we can.
Hat tip to whoever brought this! Full image below the tweet.
“When the Canadian dollar becomes worthless, we will be here to serve you, too.”
Joe Biden didn’t win.
And we will keep saying Joe Biden didn’t win until we get His Fraudulency out of our White House.
Washington’s Birthday
George Washington was a mensch.
He was WAY more of a mensch than, for example, pick-a-POC lady RINOs pushed by the Bush Nazis, sucking up to the central banks and WEF Nazis, letting THEM decide which American statues need to be taken down.
How about NONE?
Is George Washington relevant now?
Hell, yes, you communist and Nazi scum, occupying OUR CAPITOL.
WE SEE YOU! WE KNOW WHO YOU ARE! WE KNOW WHERE YOU HATCH YOUR PLOTS!
We know who your masters, propagandists, and DEMON bureaucrats are!
WE KNOW YOUR PLANS!
WE KNOW WHO YOUR AGENTS AND ASSETS ARE!
YOU betrayed the key principles of the founding of this country, and you WILL abandon your evil plans, or you will PAY for not having done so.
This country was founded on TRUTH, FREEDOM, and JUSTICE – and we will have them ALL BACK, SO HELP US GOD!
Two Weeks To Flatten The Tyrants
TL;DR – When and How We Go On Strike Matters – YUGELY.
By now, you are certainly aware of the proposed idea of a GENERAL STRIKE – largely by truckers, but with the support of the people – to CRASH both the Trudeau dictatorship and the Biden regime.
As well as many other complicit and dictatorial “democratic” governments.
Scott and Aubergine have been the biggest proponents of that idea on this site, and I keep gravitating back to it. It just makes sense.
While some think that as little as 3 days would be enough to crash a city like New York – because that’s all the supplies they have on hand – others think longer. I even picked two weeks, which – just like nuking from orbit – might be the only way to be sure.
Two Weeks To Flatten The Tyrants
The thing is, I had an interesting dream about this, in which I honestly examined many of the “logistical” problems, and by the time I woke up, I realized that there are many ways in which a poorly executed and/or poorly timed general strike serve THEIR interests more than ours.
In fact, I believe that a badly timed general strike is actually a TRAP, going back to the Bolshevik takeover of Russia, and particularly the Holodomor – where the people with the food were STARVED, in a typically evil reversal that communists and Nazis seem to create so easily.
Not only is it possible for us to USE UP our preparations and supplies needlessly – before the REAL BATTLE begins – we may give THEM what they need to pull off ANOTHER January Sixth-type propaganda event.
TIMING IS EVERYTHING.
Thus, I’m not opposed to the idea of a general strike at all, but I think that timing is critical.
Go BEYOND the very real questions of percentage of participating truckers and citizens.
Go BEYOND the very real questions of THEIR ability to thwart or work around our tactics, if we move forward at a time of THEIR choosing.
What’s happening right now?
SECURITY RINOs are running against FREEDOM Patriots in upcoming primaries.
Sure, it’s election time, and we’re hearing plenty of sweet-talk by the suitors.
Ohio Governor Mike DeWine is even trying a DIRECT STROKE OF TRUMP’S BUSINESS JONES, bringing chip-maker Intel to Ohio, right into Wexner’s back yard.
Gotta say, that IS standing up to China, in many but not all ways (there are plenty of Chi-spies in Ohio, just waiting to become plants in those plants), but as far as standing up to DEMOCRATS fronting for China and WEF, DeWine has chosen poorly despite numerous warnings.
Mask mandates are destroying small businesses, while DeWine courts the BIG WOKE corporations that front all the leftist corporatist CRAP upon us, and which enrich themselves by pandemic theater, security theater, and even WAR theater.
We will be able to take DOWN these Bidenista and Bidenazi tyrants. But any distraction away from voting NOW for FREEDOM is going to hurt us TENFOLD down the line.
How did we get Virginia back?
We did the RIGHT THING. And we did it at the RIGHT TIME.
We participated STRONGLY in the electoral process and CHASED OUT THE COMMUNISTS.
In my opinion, the Democrats are not dropping mask mandates for NOVEMBER.
They are dropping mandates to PROTECT their precious, treasonous RINOs – who can be voted out IN MARCH, APRIL, MAY and JUNE.
If WE push the wrong kind of “disorder” before the election, and the media frames it properly, then SECURITY RINOS ARE SAVED.
So – should we have a strike now?
I honestly don’t know. But I think we need to be VERY, VERY CAREFUL.
We need to keep our EYE ON THE PRIZE.
FREEDOM. ONCE AGAIN. FOR ALL. By being SMART.
Ain’t that right, Cinderella?
Free those kids, my man!
There WILL be a right time for “two weeks to flatten the tyrants”, and it will be at a time of GOD’S CHOOSING. It could be NOW. It could be LATER. By diligent prayer and honest discussion, we will know when that moment arrives. Please think about it now, and prepare for that moment, so that when the time comes, we are ready and able to STRIKE HARD to WIN.
But let us NOT be fooled again.
Because I know PERSONALLY how SNEAKY and WICKED the other side is.
Wolfie’s Wheatie’s Word of the Day:
hypostrophe
noun
return to primary argument after digression
- (medicine) The act of a patient turning himself or herself.
- (medicine) A relapse, or return of a disease.
- (rhetoric) The use of insertion or parenthesis.
This word is largely in disuse, but leads to all kinds of interesting divergence in words containing the “strophe” root, such as apostrophe, catastrophe, anastrophe, epistrophe, antistrophe, etc.
Used in a sentence:
The word ‘hypostrophe’, meaning the relapse of an illness, is an old medical term likely to be encountered by genealogists.
Used satirically in a sentence:
Called the ‘hypostrophe’, the symbol overrides all known grammatical laws, meaning that it can never be used in the wrong place.
Used in polycyclic aliphatic hydrocarbon nomenclature:
hypostrophene
- synthetic hydrocarbon
- undergoes a theoretically interesting rearrangement back to itself
- does not yield the arguably more interesting pentaprismane as hoped
- illustrates dry science humor allowed to authors in novel names
ENJOY THE SHOW

Certainly rings true for me. I’d vote for Col. Jessup to go oppose the RCMP thugs.
“The Constitution is not a suicide pact.”
It is righteous to do whatever is necessary to defeat evil.
.
That sounds like Satan to me.
This rant wants to pretend God doesn’t exist and has no say in matters.
Is it ok to commit murder to defeat evil?
What would Jesus do?
I agree. Whatever it takes should not include felonies or immorality, otherwise the moral high ground is lost.
At some point it is NOT a felony AND it is NOT immoral, to stop evil.
True, but it should be in response, not as offense.
Absolutely.
Not necessarily. See my reply below. There is a distinction to be made between “killing” (war or self-defense) and “murder” (peace).
Isn’t that essentially what I said? Other than the war thing.
Yes.
There seems to be some presumption of peace going on here. Acts of evil are committed against us every day but there’s no overt announcement of war against us per say (actually they’ve said such many times but not enough care to admit it) that are recognized by our political representatives as a whole, yet the acts and even the words are there plan as day.
First understand that our body politic has been so thoroughly infiltrated to the point you will never get a clear consensus on whether what we face is evil or not evil. Whether we are being transgressed upon or not transgressed upon. This saturation and division of the body politic confuses the point of whether we we need to take action against it that includes the justified taking of life or not.
Meanwhile evil is indeed at war with us and is in its many myriad forms currently engaged in breaking and destroying our laws, raiding our property and slaughtering us singerly and in mass from veiled, camouflaged and concealed positions using mass deception and variety of technologies and instruments on a level we barely understand while we wring our hands about whether it’s okay or not to take direct action against it.
They now not only have a huge technological edge but also control most all the levers of power. Much of that is used not only to destroy us as a people but to mask themselves from us so that we don’t, as a people, understand what is happening to us, nor whom is doing it.
At this point we either understand they want to wipe out the middle class and our better off allies, and subjugate everyone else into serfdom where they can eliminate them at their pleasure or we don’t. Who at this point does not understand that?
While we talk about what’s in the Bible, what’s in the New Testament it is understood that many of those books were written immediately after Jesus died, most by 70AD though some argue some of the books were written much later to a dates closer to 150 AD well after eye witness accounts . The New Testament itself went through an over two hundred, almost three hundred period of paring and sorting where many books were not only tossed out, but actively searched out and destroyed for a multiplicity of reasons, some because they were considered too complicated or in some cases incomplete thoughts or did not fit the narrative being established, others for better reason.
The question “What would Jesus do?” IDK, was he asked direct questions on warfare and conduct in warfare? Would he be asked such direct questions during a period of time where universal conduct for such boiled down to common sense, common practice and such questions needn’t be asked?
The Bible covers a lot of questions and gives a lot of answers, but may not be all exhaustive as we’d like it to be when confronted with these questions. Our Christian fore fathers all the way back to Jesus’s time certainly were not held back from taking actions when they felt with good cause that they were being transgressed against.
The big fear seems to be “we don’t want to become what they are”. I’ve said it many times before, the Mahabharata, a book several times the size of the Bible, (there’s a great pared down modern rendition that only runs two volumes long at about 900 pages each) deals strictly with this worry and how to confront evil when evil will not back down. The Bhagavad Gita which appears mid way in that book shortens you to an answer, but then continues on for another thousand or so pages as it examines what happens when one vacillates on doing what must be done.
The answer in the Bhagavad Gita is that one simply recognizes evil, confronts evil, and destroys evil but one does it out of a sense of duty and does not become emotionally attached to carrying out the duty. In short one keeps detached as best to ones ability and does what must be done.
“[stopping evil] should be in response, not as offense.”
I understand what you’re saying, but it seems to me that if the evil is present and you know that it is present and causing harm, you are already on defense, not offense. They started it, not you. But that doesn’t mean all methods of fighting it are warranted, legal, or moral. That’s the tricky part, and timing plays a role, as in whether war has been declared, whether there is danger of imminent bodily harm, etc. Knowing when to use what degree of force takes great wisdom.
Personally I fight evil every day. The attack never stops and I have to be vigilant all the time.
So if each person fights evil in their own life that is how we overcome evil.
Evil is here and there but taking care of evil attacking in our own soul is the first step defeating evil.
Just my thought.
Agree.
“I agree. Whatever it takes should not include felonies or immorality, otherwise the moral high ground is lost.”
_________
This is why we can’t have nice things.
If we held ourselves to such a standard, the queen of England would be our leader right now, and there would be no moral high ground at all.
Just an endless line of people waiting to lick a smelly old royal boot.
The cost of all of the tea thrown into Boston Harbor ($18,000 which must be in 1773 dollars) certainly exceeded the level of ‘felony’.
Not sure how anyone fights a ‘moral’ war. Who decides what’s ‘moral’?
What good is ‘moral high ground’ if you are dead and your country is lost?
It is the old question: if you were alive in 1936 and knew what was coming, would you kill Hitler?
I don’t think it’s murder to kill someone who is themselves a murderer:
Exodus 21:12 – He that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall be surely put to death.
But that’s Old Testament. The New Testament says something else entirely:
Matthew 5:39 – But I say to you, do not resist an evil person; but whoever slaps you on your right cheek, turn the other to him also.
Source: https://bible.knowing-jesus.com/Matthew/5/39
I don’t think it’s Satan, but rather which part of the Bible you subscribe to.
I am no Bible scholar but recall Vox Popoli raising the modern interpretation of ‘turn the other cheek’ so went searching for a reference:
https://www.reenactingtheway.com/blog/turning-the-other-cheek-jesus-peaceful-plan-to-challenge-injustice
Roman soldiers would backhand an inferior and as most were right handed presenting the left cheek was an invitation to punch as the soldier would an equal. It would appear a peaceful way to demonstrate resistance and express a demand for treatment as an equal.
Interesting!
The entire broke, woke, bespoke rant a couple posts up, IS blathering nonsense to me.
Can’t take it seriously. Perhaps slow guy is missing something fundamental.
—
Don’t know about the satan stuff.
But I am confident, rolling over, allowing evil to prevail is NOT the answer. Not suggesting you subscribe to rolling over. I know better than that.
Fundamentally, evil must be called out and stopped. At some point, taking a life is NOT murder. Justified.
No one ever said “allow evil to prevail”.
God stopped Abraham from killing his own son after commanding him to just that.
Let me know when God commands anyone to commit murder to defeat evil. I have never heard of such a thing.
Taking a life in self defense or when at war is not murder. IMHO, trying to take out Hitler AFTER war was declared was legit.
Killing him BEFORE war was declared would have been murder.
Let the reader understand.
Jesus could have taken care of any business. But He was on a mission. We have another mission.
Amen
This sentence speaks for itself.
Thank you Wolf for bringing this here.
“Our moral high ground comes not from the tactics we choose, but from our refusal to conform to their principles”.
Yes. This allows much tactical latitude within acceptable morality. We are passing up many moral actions by letting them lead and only responding in kind of in defense.
School board super-moms caught them by surprise. Perfectly moral, but LEADING THE FIGHT.
Tomorrow’s daily scheduled.
Yes that was wonderful 🙂

Trudeau is NOT a Nazi; Trudeau is a Bolshevik
I cannot tell you how bloody tiresome it is having to explain to people that Trudeau is NOT Hitler. Trudeau is NOT a fascist. Trudeau is NOT a Nazi. Trudeau is a Communist. He is a Marxist. He is a Bolshevik.
Those who are intellectually and emotionally incapable of naming the enemy will lose the war. As long as so-called conservatives keep pointing the finger in the wrong direction, they will continue to contribute to the spread of communism. Start calling the enemy by its real name.

“Trudeau is NOT a Nazi; Trudeau is a Bolshevik”
Seriously what is the difference.
These too ideologist have the same Marxist/Socialist roots.
Yep. The sad part is most folks don’t understand the difference, moreover the NAZIs carry a much stronger, indeed visceral impression of evil and malice.
We can thank the fool-generating school systems for that. Could be the Kabbalists trying to confuse folks again, as well…..
I have a friend who was taught in college that Nazism (National Socialism) was a leftist ideology.
When he told me that I said I didn’t believe him. So he then tried to explain why it was a leftist ideology.
“No, no. I understand that. I just can’t believe you were actually taught that in college.”
His prof was probably like a world history prof I had, Dr. Chan. He explained the problems created by Truman “firing” Macarthur, the farce of the Korean War (i.e. the UN pushing an “unwinnable” war, to their benefit and our expense, with no intent of winning, etc., just like freshly-lost Vietnam). He was also a stickler for correct grammar, style, and logic, both in the classroom and on paper. Graded on that as well as course materials.
Drove the students nuts, but he maintained that English proficiency and the ability to speak and write well in presenting and defending one’s points is essential for a (supposedly) well-educated person, and society in general. He was a throwback to classic education. Lord Christopher Monckton (of the climate wars) would probably like him…
Loved that class… Just wish I had the course materials and books which seem to have been swallowed by the black hole of storage 🙁
The problem is calling Trudeau Nazi people compare it to Hitler who killed 6 million people and started a war. The overreach has for most people the opposite effect.
Calling him communist , Marxist is easier to compare him to that type of ideology and regime. Could it lead to extermination camps ? Maybe ?
I see the point that is made.
The danger in that is rejection and seeing and rejecting both Nazism and communism.
The danger I am seeing in Canada is people want rule of order and security.
In Trudeau they might see it just as some German’s saw it Hitler or under communism regime.
We already have the We and Them mentality here that is so dangerous and a set up for dictatorship. We need to fight that because in the end it is the collective us that will feel oppression.
I’ve been seeing more and more lately that the Purple Porcine Sausage-Tube Lady (Freeland) is the crime-brains behind the cesspool that is TurdEau…
And she’s one of the young WEF DEMONS, so who knows where her REAL leader lives (probably HELL)…
A Castreauti and a PowerCowFrau…
Knowing who and what she is helps in the battle against evil.

Beware of FAKE QR CODES – such as stickers over the real QR codes on menus.
https://www.local3news.com/local-news/what-the-tech/what-the-tech-fbi-warning-of-scammers-targeting-victims-using-qr-codes/article_199266d6-89f4-11ec-9314-cb915bcd5b6b.html
The funniest one I’ve seen so far involved fake QR codes on parking meters.
BTW, there are collections of QR code readers/writers available for Linux. You can also read and write codes for shipping containers.
I’ve never trusted QR codes and have never used one. I can’t believe we are expected to trust something like that blindly, having no idea what has been programmed onto it.
A good QR app will show you the URL before going to it, and a really good one will check for suspicious URLs first.
Asking out of ignorance of the whole subject:
Is an app required for a phone to read QR codes? (I hadn’t thought so.)
If not, are you saying you can get an app that will check any QR code you try to read, sort of like a virus detector on a computer?
QR codes are ways of showing data as graphics. The data is usually (but not always) a website. The coding is sufficiently robust that part of the QR can be smeared or obstructed and it will still read the data. It is usually read by an app on a cellphone — but one that has been preinstalled by the phone vendor.
You can take a picture of a QR code and feed it into a program if you don’t have a “smart phone”, but that’s the long way around. The computer magazine c’t had an article a while back on reading QR codes, a few test programs, and other infos.
Someone with REALLY good eyesight, an architect’s scale, and a lot of patience could decode one by hand, much like one can learn to read barcodes. Explaining that would kill a party real fast 🙂
My new phone has it built into the camera. The camera sees the code, it shows the web link which you then click. No app required.
There’s one running in the background to interpret it, though. Does it give you a chance to back out (i.e. is there any protection against malware presenting itself as a QR matrix)?
(Or maybe an AV scanner running as a background process checking that stuff out – never though phones would be prey to virii, but here we are… gotta use up all those cores, I guess)…
You have to click the link. I assume my anti viral software would stop a bad link. Plus there is some degree of protection within the browser. How good. Who knows. These knew smart phones do more stuff then I will ever need.
It’s the smart stupid stuff you have to watch out for.
http://www.eff.org has infos on things you can turn off (despite their leftist bent, they do have some valuable information). Probably Anandtech and Toms Guide do, as well. Over here, c’t (in German) has TONS of info about how to lock down your phone (and why)….
Seems like every app wants root permission, or permissions they don’t need.
So I’m happy with my “candy bar” phones, even if all they can do is calls and SMS. When G2 finally reaches sunset (2023 or so), I’ll move on to an LTE phone. No G5 here… don’t want to get cooked in my own house 🙂 [I know, the emissions aren’t THAT strong, but the shorter the wavelength, the worse the problems, and I’m not even talking about cellular resonance, etc.)…
My son had a couple of the Lumia phones (which M$ killed, figure) that seemed pretty good, with well-designed menus and UIs… Now he’s got an i-Thing, and is waiting for the OLED iPhone SE, coming out in 2024 or so… He needs it for his CIs (cochlear implants) for streaming, control (cool stuff there), etc., otherwise he’d have a candybar phone too…
Have not found a reason to use QR codes.
I haven’t either outside of a boarding pass.
Yea, lots of folks do that. I have their machine print a boarding pass.
A lot of restaurants required you to use them when they did not hand out menu’s last year.
Anyway, nothing new apparently. Mayan statue with what looks like a QR code for a face.
Each time the restaurants to scan their QR code, I said, NO.
PFM, they handed me a paper menu. 🙂
IF folks would just say no, they may be pleasantly surprised.
I know. I don’t use menu’s. I tell them what I want.
Yup. That works also. I generally know what I want before entering the restaurant.
Each time the restaurants wanted me to scan their QR code, I replied, “with what?”
I don’t carry a cellphone.
🙂

OMG, read that article – they’re talking about “programmable money” that controls what it can be used for.
These people just think “Hey, we can think this up, and we’re in charge – let’s just do it.”
It’s stunning. Nobody wants this shit except the assholes in charge of Washington and Blue Zones, and yet they’re forcing it on us.
Yep, just imagine if your paycheck is pre-designated 30% for food, 30% for rent, 20% for clothes, and 20% for entertainment — but only Disney films. (If you’re looking for medical or taxes, that’s deducted before money is issued….)
I’m through with this crap. I mean, I’ve really tried to be antiwar, but we’re rapidly cratering – to the point where war is the only sensible answer to the insanity.
Nobody wants this shit, but somebody is forcing it on us.
Isn’t that what a “gift card” is?
In some ways, but if my Cabela’s gift card squawks when I try to buy ammo, that’s a problem!
In my experience, a gift card allows you to buy anything from the designated vendor, whether it be a restaurant, retailer, etc. It doesn’t determine what you are allowed to buy.
Just say no.
Same as stores with self check out, pushing CC or debit. Ring it up and see how fast the goof monitoring the area can shit some change.
Wow. Someone’s figured out something more ugly than stored procedures…

It should be noted that this is the bulk of the switches that the organist can reach while seated.
Several of the switches are “couplers” — if you play a C on the lowest keyboard, it might simultaneously play a C on another keyboard, or on the pedals, or down an octave in the pedals, or play a G. All these “coupled” notes may be on different rows of pipes. As you might imagine, there are far more possible couplings that there is space for in the switches, so only those found particularly useful live there.
There are several stops that play instruments outside the volume shutters. IIRC, they’ve got something like a 64′ Bourdon stop that is a borderline anti-personnel weapon, for when you want the audience to wake up. There are also several gongs and chimes, sound effects and the like. Most, however, are inside the shutters — and you can hear in this video how this monster can be thoroughly tamed.
Under each row of keys are some circular buttons. These are presets for that manual — on the Wanamaker, you’ll see someone hit one, and a bunch of stops will change — but you can’t blink, ’cause it’s fast. There are also organ-wide presets — IIRC, they’re about at knee-height to the right of the bottom manual. I would suspect that the top buttons, next to the music holder, are controls for the blowers.
Moving to the pedalboard, it functions much like a manual. You’ll note that all the organists are wearing patent-leather shoes, some with outsized heels. You didn’t think people would walk in off the street with bubblegum on their shoes and start playing, did you? The size of the heel is handy in a bunch of ways in finding where things are by touch, and also hanging on the crossbar under the seat. Different players have different heels and use them differently, but they’re not just using them as lifts because they’re short.
Immediately in front of the pedalboard are the shutter-controls for all available shutters. They are rocker-pedals and are left alone for long periods of time, but sometimes are used to great effect. Over the top of these are a bunch of very special cases, including the “sforzando button” which I may have previously mentioned. I believe that some pedal-to-manual couplers are accessible in buttons to the right.
In short, this is a VERY complicated device, with very complicated controls, that “evolved” into a playable instrument with the use of logical tools and shortcuts that are not obvious.
I’d be curious why the youtube vid didn’t show up as a preview. It’s ok that it didn’t, but my understanding is currently defective for when it will.
If it doesn’t show up here, except as a link, then very likely it is SET on YouTube to only be visible “on the site” (meaning on YouTube).

I’ve learned something new!
When my grandfather died in Parkersburg, he had the pipes and console for a 3-manual organ in his possession. We had to essentially give it away.
Another slice of pipe organs —
I know a number of organists who have played it just for fun.
The circular buttons are called pistons. The expression pedals either control certain divisions of the organ, corresponding to each manual OR on the far right is a crescendo pedal (does not control shades) that gradually brings on ranks of pipes. I’m talking generally not Wanamakers.
It’s been many years since I’ve been there — perhaps since a memorial concert for Virgil Fox.
I switched to wearing men’s Organmaster shoes decades ago, because they’re leather – not patent leather. Patent leather sticks to itself and that’s dangerous when you’re working quickly in a balancing act.
It was nice to see that Youngkin wasn’t perv-sniffing the young ladies.
Normal governors are great!
I wouldn’t know — I live in California.
California deserves liberation.
The best thing for CA would be to go bankrupt as a state, lose its statehood, and revert to a territory. Then the sensible parts could be slowly readmitted as states. SF and LA can become states again in 50-70 years or so.
I like this idea!
Apropos of nothing, and wondering if anyone is out there…..
WOW.
In what way?
All sorts. Shedding, dog-whining, the noiseproofing and furproofine.
If you have ever considered owning a pooch with husky ancestry, this is an example of “the song of one’s people.”
She wears a beekeeping hat and veil for the massive shedders. And she had silencing headphones on for the song.
She probably makes bank on knitting new dogs out of the pile of shed. That she’s so upfront about the amount of work and the cost is a point in her favor.
But, yes, quite impressive.
I used to take my 2 Aussies to the parlor. Always eager to go, they came back looking like little kids, all shaved and happy, smelling good, with their new bandannas on. They also changed colors. The solid red and white one came back brindle, w/dark brown and black hair. The solid black and white one came back brindle with lots of red, brown, and black hair underneath. Wild! I wonder what the blue ones look like underneath.
Bacon stripes 😀
When I had a Husky-Golden Retriever mix wanted to learn to spin yarn to knot a sweater from his fur. We did have him shaved to about 2 ” every spring that way he did not shed as much in fall and winter. also gave him a beautiful manageable coat. He needed to be brushed every day and every 3 months taken to a groomer. Max was a wonderful dog.
From Insty:
And if you GSG to help her with her car payment or rent, your account can be frozen, too.
This is all insane. This communist stuff is just bullshit.
Somebody do something please before we have to.
We can put it off, but it will likely be us when it happens.
Sadly, I think you’re right.
If her church does a collection to pay her car payment, its bank account can be frozen.
That’s CRAP!!🤬🤬
Typical communist. They want her penniless without support and make an example out of her.
MORE reason to collect donations. Don’t cave to the evil. Let the EVIL over reach generate its own BAD PR.
She needs a P.O. Box (anonymous) so people can mail her gift cards.
That is no longer the case.
To get a PO Box you have to supply your real address.
Then there are a ton of government agencies that refuse to accept a PO box for your address (The IRS only will if you have no regular mailbox, other agencies aren’t even that accommodating) so your real address ends up all over public records.
So, when you get a P.O. Box, does the guy at the Post Office or the UPS Store go to your house to check? Yes, that means I would lie to get a box. They don’t need my actual address, they can have the address of a parking lot for all I care.

Lol!
Interesting points about being smart about timing. But who can answer when that will be, and how do we get everyone on the same page with regard to timing? Maybe if some leaders like Bannon and others agree, with us, about when and how to strike, it will work. It’s like walking a tightrope.
The “-strophe” words are interesting.
https://www.etymonline.com/search?q=sstrophe
I like anastrophe, the inversion of the usual order of words. Examples:
☛ In the face of pain there are no heroes. (Orwell, 1984)
☛ Neither a borrower nor a lender be (Shakespeare, Hamlet)
☛ to thine own self be true (Shakespeare, Hamlet)
☛ In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit. (Tolkien, The Hobbit)
☛ Now the trumpet summons us again – not as a call to bear arms, though arms we need – not as a call to battle, though embattled we are (Kennedy, 1961 Inaugural Address)
☛ And judging by the past, I wish to know what there has been in the conduct of the British ministry for the last ten years to justify those hopes with which gentlemen have been pleased to solace themselves and the House. Is it that insidious smile with which our petition has been lately received? Trust it not, sir; it will prove a snare to your feet. Suffer not yourselves to be betrayed with a kiss. (Henry, “Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death”)
☛ Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing,
Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before;
But the silence was unbroken, and the stillness gave no token,
And the only word there spoken was the whispered word, “Lenore?”
This I whispered, and an echo murmured back the word, “Lenore!”—
Merely this and nothing more. (Poe, “The Raven”)

Another Queen’s death prediction. I really do think it will happen in 2022.
She’ll be 96 in April, so it would not be surprising.

Wow. The battle is at our borders.
So this is why they have been so frantic to get patriotic Americans to start a civil war. It would make it much easier for UN troops to take our failed cities. So who decides which UN troops would advance from Canada into the US? China?
Yup. We are in a bad spot right now.
Why did the People allow it to stay there?
Yes, make it stop!
I’m hoping all the surveys going out here in the next couple of weeks highlights a desire for a return to tradition since the places where tradition is at least given lip service have a lot higher attendance.
That was blasphemous, IMO. And “Rock with us as we roll with you” — I don’t know how people could sit silently and witness that. There should not just be diminished attendance; there should be loud protests until it stops. Those are the actions of someone who does not know the nature of God, nor does he show any reverence whatsoever.
Wonder if any of them know the origin of the expression Rock and Roll…
(and that predates the bumper sticker, “If this van’s a-rockin’ don’t bother knockin’ “)…
Where’s John Belushi when we need him?
Muh! 😭
Not close to ready. Apple only. No web based or Android. Clearly no capacity for the volume of traffic. Clearly just released on “President’s Day”.
First impressions count. Bad move.
I’m sad to admit it, but I agree with you. Out over their skis.
What? Everyone knows all the cool people are on Apple. Android is for untrendy losers.
/sarc
I do not not need to be first in line for Trump’s media platform. I am sure those who have developed a new platform know how it supposed to roll out ?
I am patient and look not for perfection leave my first impression for 6 months from now, but then I am not an expert in anything 😅 🙄
In point of fact, they may be right in thinking the *software* on the *servers* is ready. It’s not the server software’s fault the hardware doesn’t have capacity–or that there’s no android app for it to talk to.
As an overall thing, though, it’s not *quite* ready to accept all the people who want to use it.
Yet another shortage here during the LetsGoBrandon Era.
I can believe the platform is not ready.
I let them develop further to be able to take in millions of people.
Trump supporters have been waiting for Trump to roll this out and they decided on early rollout. Just my take for what it is worth 🙂
You’re probably correct. The symbolism of “President’s Day” was irresistible to them.
You got it 🙂
Could the lack of refined and ready rollout be possibly attributed to Team Trump knowing that the app will get taken down or somehow abused and beclowned?
This could be another ‘show them’ play. Maybe learn some lessons and be ready for 2024 with something newer/improved
They need something this year to help with the mid terms and then 2024. I think they are already late. Both platforms are an issue because they can shutdown the stores at any time. Going the app free route like Gab did would probably have been safer. The only attraction to this appears to be Trump will have a place to post. Other then that, just another place for like minded people to post.

“If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.”

BE MY VOICE
BABY LIVES MATTER
PRAYING ON THE ARMOR OF GOD
Father God, I now follow your command to put on the full armor of God, because my battle is not against flesh and blood but against rulers, authorities, the powers of this dark world and against spiritual forces of evil in the unseen world.
I first pray on the Belt of Truth that it may be buckled around my waist, may I be centered and encircled by your truth dear Lord. Hem me inside all that is true and right, and may I be protected and held up by the truth of your living word, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Breastplate of righteousness, please protect my vital organs and my inner man, cover my integrity, my spirit, and my soul. Guard my heart for it is the wellspring of life, please strengthen and guard the most vulnerable places in my life with that which is right, good, and noble that I might not receive a fatal blow from the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Gospel Shoes of Peace. I choose to stand in the shoes of your good news, and on the firm foundation of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the solid eternal rock. All other ground is sinking sand, I pray that I will not slip or fall, but that my feet would be firmly fitted on your lordship, my Lord Jesus. I choose to stand on you, so that the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus, the eternal Rock of Ages. I receive your holy peace now my Lord, from the sole of my feet to the crown of my head, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray the Shield of Faith into my hand now. As I take up the shield of faith, I ask that you might extinguish every dart and arrow, that is launched from the enemy to take me down spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally, and every attempt of the enemy to destroy my joy. I ask that my faith in you would make it flame out. Extinguish every flaming arrow that would come against me, my life, my family, my home, or my ministry. May my faith always be out in front of me like a shield. Give me the courage to “faith my fears” by choosing to walk by faith and not by sight, in my Lord Jesus name.
I pray on the Helmet of Salvation, that you might protect my mind from the thoughts that can lead me astray. I choose to take every thought captive, and arrest all intentioned ideas and motives that would harm others, or distract me from your holy will for me. I submit every captured thought to the Lordship of my Lord Jesus Christ, and ask that you would imprison those thoughts that are not of you my Lord. Transform my mind and renew my thinking that I may think God thoughts, and have a sober mind that is focused on your glory. Please protect me from being double minded that I may allow my mind, I reject to live an earthly life, because I choose to live a holy one, governed by you My Lord Jesus, the prince of peace, please have my mind to be saturated with the holy mind of Christ, in my Lord Jesus name.
Finally, I take up the Sword of the Spirit which is the holy word of God, I pray this powerful offensive weapon into my hand, and ask that your holy word would be fitting for every encounter I face. As the enemy gets close to me, please give me the insight, wisdom, and skill to wield the word of God to drive away the enemy, in my Lord Jesus name.
May the enemy and his team flee from me, upon hearing the word of God spoken by the power and direction of the Holy Spirit. Give me the sword of the spirit to cut through the wiles of the devil, so that I may discern the schemes of the enemy when he is near.
With all kinds of prayers, supplication, and intercession I pray to you my Lord God as the one who fights my battles. Now that I’m in your holy powerful armor, I walk away covered and ready to face my day as you go before me, and please protect me in the midst of the spiritual warfare in this unseen world, in my Lord Jesus name.
Thank you my Lord, for the spiritual weapons of armor and prayer that you have given me. It is written no weapon formed against me shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses me.
Thank you Father God, my Lord Jesus and the Holy Spirit, that I am more than a conqueror in my Lord Jesus. I pray all of this in the mighty name of my Lord God and Savior Jesus Christ.
AMEN.

Victor Davis Hanson
I really wish this guy would stop playing elder statesman of the peons. He’s a never-Trumper who freely put his name on that disgusting NR cover. I never heard him bitch about Songbird or Mittens prior to the primaries.
But the main reason I dislike him is because he’s never apologized to DJT for being so wrong yet he pontificates as if the weather was never stormy.
Abso-friggin-lutely. I was over his act a long time ago.
I’ve always thought of Hanson as a light-weight when it comes to intellectual matters. He’s clueless in a lot of ways.
VDH’s strengths are also his weaknesses. He clearly sees the parallels between events of today to those of the ancient world — human nature hasn’t changed much in the last few thousand years. And there are lessons to be learned there.
OTOH, the failure of Athenian Democracy is not quite the same as Dominion-infused subversion of this age. And there wasn’t very much industrial genocide in pre-industrial times. Further, international cabals weren’t really big in either Rome or Greece.

Frank Luntz: ‘Only Donald Trump’ Could Stand in the Way for GOP Winning House, Senate in Midterms

Good ol’ Frank…
…GOP strongman and Kevin McCarthy’s BFF 5 year roommate.
(SPIT)
So, when the the GOP wins the House and Senate in the midterms because of PDT, will Frank drown in his own pool of bullshiz? Nope, he will move on to the next RINO/Dem sponsored focus group on behalf of his NWO masters.
He is incapable of adjusting since his bread along with his bed bud McCarthy are all are buttered from the same vat, that We the People only look to PDT for guidance on candidates now. See Madison Cawthorn and Ortega vs. Starbuck for reference.

Australian news clip. Shows new medicine for high risk patients. Stromectol 3mg contains 4 tablets, each contain 3mg of ivermetcin.
People need to hang.
For those interested, Stromectol from our online Canadian friends. Compare prices to IndiaMart. Would probably get here sooner.

Uh, there’s a truck strike. Not sure how fast that could be.
Great idea. Thanks.
Forgot to mention, that was just the first Canadian website I clicked on. There are probably others w/different prices. I searched for drug websites no prescriptions required.
Thanks.

Yep, that’s me!
So, am I the only one who clicked the link and got Rick-Rolled this morning, or am I just the only one admitting it?
LOL I was thinking it was just me so I kept quiet. I watched the whole thing. Hadn’t seen Rick in a while.
Well, I didn’t want to be the ONLY ONE. And I didn’t give away which link. Click at your own risk, people!
I do like that video!
OK. I admit it AND started to comment a couple times. Clearly I am not house broken in so many ways. (Good with it also)
