Joe Biden didn’t win. This is our Real President:
AND our beautiful REALFLOTUS.
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 get through it!
Maybe even with some grace and poise!
And we will have fun doing it, too!
Oh, yeah, baby!
Dedication
WHEATIE – OUR WARRIOR ANGEL
by Duchess01
Please forgive us, Wheatie, we did not know
That you had left us with armor in tow
We had no idea with what you dealt
We did not know the pain you felt
And now we can only imagine
With you what really did happen
Cause rarely did you complain
And/or share your personal pain
Of one thing we are most certain
You are flying high behind the curtain
Watching over us above the crowds
Our Warrior Angel above the clouds
Thank You, Wheatie, for caring for us
While you were here among the fuss
We miss you dear you have no idea
Since time began in the pangaea
With you there was no time
In your wisdom you would chime
To clarify and magnify
The what where how and why
We did not question when you left
We were not slightly bereft
But over time we wondered why
You did not at least stop by
Now we know where you have gone
With the break of this new dawn
We could be angry but are not
Tho with an arrow we’ve been shot
Rest peacefully Warrior Angel dear
Send us a sign that you are near
A butterfly a flower a kiss of rain
From your love do not refrain
God sends Angels to watch over us
And now we have an Angel Plus
A Warrior Angel of Magnificence
From today and forward hence

The Rules
TL;DR –
Wheatie’s Rules:
- No food fights.
- No running with scissors.
- If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.
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.
Bottom line – respect other people’s FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS.
Our only additional requirement is that you do so NICELY. Or at least try to make some effort in that direction.
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 also pray for our nation, our world, and even our enemies.
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.
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.
Wolfie’s Wheatie’s Word of the Day Year Week:
parthenogenesis
noun
a natural form of asexual reproduction in which growth and development of embryos occur without fertilization by sperm. In animals, parthenogenesis means development of an embryo from an unfertilized egg cell. In plants parthenogenesis is a component process of apomixis.
Used in a sentence:
Parthenogenesis is defined as “obligate” when organisms exclusively reproduce through asexual means, while it is “facultative” when species that ordinarily rely on sexual reproduction can resort to facultative parthenogenesis under extenuating circumstances that isolate females from males.
Explained in a picture:

Relevance to a Future Post:
ENJOY THE SHOW
Have another great week!
It’s HERE…..
I can’t show the trailer – it autoplays…..

I didn’t know it would be a dramatization rather than a documentary.
This could be fun! Takes a bit of suspension of disbelief on the characters, but they’re almost believable!
I agree. Just viewed.
Just came to an initial hypothesis. Biden, Hochul and now Graham are signaling something.
Two were off their rockers with the ‘semi-fascists/ All Republicans need to leave NY’ bit.
Then tonight, Graham says that there will be riots in the streets if PT is indicted.
Just posted this at OT:
“I get it now.
TPTB are getting shrill, lamenting that Trump supporters are going to riot in the streets. Biden, Hochul and Linda Graham cemented it this last weekend with their messages.
They will use Obama phones to call up Antifa, SEIU, BLM and whatever others to wear red hats and riot. Add in other FBI informants and allow additional Buffalo Jump jujitsu…and then the FBI will start hauling in anyone they can.
What a demented group of people.”
Maybe I am wrong?
I think that you are at least partially right. Maybe completely right.
I don’t really want to say what’s GOING to happen, because I really want the Dems to “fuck around and find out”.
After watching that Mary McCord creep, who I believe is behind all of this shit, it’s very clear that she’s sneaky as hell, but she can only function in her environment of choice, which is lawfare and DOJ malfeasance. She’s not going to be able to plan well for what comes next, either politically, or, heaven forbid, militarily.
The level of backfire on the raid was awesome, and we want MORE of that. We also don’t want to let any Ali Alexander types influence us, this time. We need to be COOL and COLLECTED and let the Demon Dems destroy themselves, with us not even taking a LEAK on the steaming pile of jackass meat and guts that will be left on the ground when they destroy themselves.
We have to be CALM and PEACEFUL and let them destroy themselves.
There will NEVER be a better time for COLD ANGER to absolutely destroy the Democrats.
They cannot not indict Trump. LET THEM TAKE THE BAIT THEY CANNOT RESIST.
What happens after that? TRUST GOD.
If God wants us to be peaceful, we will be peaceful. And I think that’s what’s going to happen. But what happens after that is FANTASTIC and will be to the glory of God.
Trust Martin Luther King, Jr. Trust God. Trust Jesus. Trust Trump.
God will lead us. Wait for God.
Perfect, Wolf.
I immediately thought the same. We all need to be calm and peaceful about a reaction or better yet, PRO-action. It is the latter we need to get the word and strategy out for.
And at this point, the E’ffing Bureau of Idiots no longer can continue in their game plan. Many see it!
Many friends are awakening!
Many see it!
YUP
That is why there are so many warning going out through the Alt News community to BEWARE of FIB PROVOCATEURS trying to stir up trouble. Provoke armed violence ESP
The Deep State is SALIVATING AT THE IDEA of multiple FFs that ALLOWS complete confiscation of every gun in the USA.
However they BLEW it with the Reveal of Federal Protection of “Oath Keepers” Kingpin Stewart Rhodes and Ray Epps: The Fed-Protected Provocateur not to mention What The Whitmer Kidnapping Case Reveals About The FBI
Yup. FIB provocateurs tried to get me yesterday on Gab. I think they’re getting nervous because they know that they’ve protected the depopulationist SCUM who occupy Washington. Hundreds of thousands of the old and infirm murdered to “balance the books” and “get rid of Trump voters / conservatives”. But they killed and injured millions of their own base in the process. Gotta go for broke now.
Hold on, be peaceful but LOUD in opposing these THIEVES and MURDERERS.
So, any protests need to be stealth resistance. Like the Fins against the Russians.
And the resistance needs to be a blowing kick.
Let THEM make all the mistakes.
LOGICAL THINKING……
They’re the ones who are scared.
Let them be scared.
A general financial strike might then be the answer.
WHAT HAPPENS IF THE FIB HELD A RIOT AND NO ONE SHOWED….
Oh that is funny, and could very well be true. They are going to hate the laughter and mocking.
We need to get that info out EVERY WHERE so it DOES Happen!
Just a short one liner as a comment on all the Rumbles and bitchute and other ‘Truth’ media.
(I can hear the grinding of teeth all the way from DC….)
Hey Gail, is that you? 😀
YUP!
Let them lynch each other!!!
I seem to remember that happening already. Can’t find a link because I can’t figure out a good way to search for it.
For the first time ever I do believe they are scared. Too much indication.
Let them be scared. We must be cool and resolute.
Absolutely! Oh, they have confidence in their evil plans, but they’ve learned that God will thwart them, and they are scared of what is more powerful than them!
Skeered folks do NOT thinking logically…moar mistakes incoming.
East Germans brought down their communist oppressors peacefully with demonstrations peaceful demonstrations.
Polish people brought down their communist regime with peaceful demonstration.
I am not sure if the cabal would let us peacefully demonstrate? I do not think so they are different there is a deep evil in them that is demonic. Yes we have to be peaceful there is strength in that.
“…I am not sure if the cabal would let us peacefully demonstrate? I do not think so ….”
No, the Deep State WILL NOT ALLOW PEACEFUL Demonstrations.
This is from a leftist site. They were often the target in earlier decades. Even they see the problem. (The article discusses the George Floyd violence from outsiders.)
Agents Provocateurs Are Still A Real Threat
You got it
Very interesting!
Wolfy back around 2008/2009 I was doing a Index card campaign. I had hand written 3X5 note cards with the links giving info about the Federal reserve PRIVATE banks and how we got scammed into PAYING off their gambling debts (AIG bailout) I would strike up a conversation at fast food joints in lines while buying stuff…. and then hand people the card.
One group was a bunch of college students. They were floored and there response was ‘What do we do PROTEST?’
The Left has TRAINED us that our only ‘SOLUTION’ is ‘Protests’ but THEY CONTROL the protests & the Optics & the news coverage so THAT IS THE WRONG RESPONSE!
We have to get creative and do something ELSE not the worn out useless ‘Protests’ that are nothing more than a TRAP.
Letter and Fax campaigns. Showing up at the LOCAL offices of politicians, NOT as a group but as a SERIES OF INDIVIDUALS.
Supporting the campaigns of people like Gregg Phillips and True the Vote…. Knock on doors and get your neighbors to VOTE!
Tell them you have two Choices. VOTE or learn Mandarin Chinese! Remember that a chinese national OWNS Konnech the company RUNNING a lot of our elections. The CEO is ALSO PROMOTING TEACHING MANDARIN to young kids. –> From an MG Show so I do not have a good URL yet.
Agreed. We have attack peacefully on all fronts, and ALWAYS “retreat constructively” when they try to sabotage our peaceful resistance and protests, whatever those may be.
One of the biggest things we can do is to expose DODGE and FIB at every opportunity.
I have decided that OBAMA’S THREE FURIES and MARY McCORD need to be names that EVERYBODY KNOWS – because these wicked women are destroying this country.
Let their SHAMEFUL TREASON be known, but ever-so peacefully and legally.
GIVE THEM NOTHING, but attack from every direction until they GO MAD.
Let their own Alinsky tactics DESTROY THEM.
You can start by ditching the name “three furies”. Give their actual names.
Thank you! Time to put the FREEZE on them.
I was noticing you never named them today…then saying we should call them out by name!
If you are writing a longer piece, name them the first time, then call them the three furies after that. (Similar rule to referencing an acronym in government paperwork.)
Actually you continue to NAME them so people will recognize their names.
As Gregg Phillips and others are doing, The RESISTANCE is organizing PROTECTION OF OUR ELECTIONS!!!
This has the DemonRats and Rinos going nutz!
It allows CONSTRUCTIVE OUTLETS for our rage.
Outlets that are LEGAL
Outlets that really HARM the other side.
The Precinct Strategy has the UniParty Panicking.
VANITY FAIR — Steve Bannon’s Election-Takeover Dream Is Starting to Take ShapeJun 1, 2022

Then there is Melody Jennings From Clean Elections USAMatrixxx and Shade had her on too. She is just an ordinary person who decided to DO SOMETHING. SEE:
MG Show — China’s Influence on US Election: Drop Box Ninja @ 26:30
I love the way these Democrats cannot admit that they cheat like crazy. FUCK YOU, CHEATERS!!!
And what I m picking up is that the timeline is now in play. For three prominent people from both sides of the coin to echo each other in the last day…the battle plan is on.
Whether they all get a stubbed toe on the Southern Florida judge, anyone can guess.
Yet they are all playing their parts.
Some day, we really should confirm the handling of the script each morning!!!! And could we at least expose the comms???? Sheesh!
Brock 2.0.
Journolist again?
And why do we just not call them out on this BEFORE it happens?
I mean, surprise parties are often ruined by one person who cannot keep the secret.
All it would take is exposure of one person who is in the planning loop.
Exactly. We could have aborted January Sixth if one person would have outed Ali Alexander as setting up a disaster for the Dems and RINOs.
OTOH, having their subversion FAIL in a huge and documented way, with Dodge and FIB having to withhold video evidence from the world for FEAR OF THE TRUTH – oh, that’s pretty precious, too!
Excellent
Wonderful post.
BTW, when I saw that Skynyrd concert, the outside venue with many thousands of people was directly overlooked by a 25 story hotel. You can be I looked up.
I told my friend: “The first shot I hear I’m hitting the ground” and he said “I’ll be there before you.”
YUP, YUP, YUP – I hear you.
Interesting facts about Jason Aldean, whose concert was used for their terror event. His wife, who opposes the trans nonsense publicly and resolutely, married him in 2015, two years before Las Vegas. I’m thinking a very Fabian message was being sent in “country” as well.
https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/jason-aldeans-wife-responds-tomboy-phase-backlash-online-thanks-parents-changing-her-gender
You are not wrong.
SOMETHING is up and the usual idiots (like Hochul and Crist) are telling us in their usual moronic way.
Cumo said that too and less than a year latter he actually took it back and started begging people to stay. These people don’t learn.
All that revenue gone, so little laundering!
When you shoot your nose off to spite your face.
Gun violence!
In all the wrong places.
LOL!!!
Cracking up some more…
…so little laundering. 😂 😅 😂
…shoot your nose off…
Brings to mind the saying, “If my dog looked like that, I’d shave its behind and make it walk backwards”…..
I love Aubergine’s assessment – looks like she was “rode hard and put away wet”.
Likely Michael Jackson’s plastic surgeon hacked, several times on Hochul.
LOL!
Could be Kamaltoe you’re talking about.
LOL!!!
🙂 Cracking up on that one.
One of my all time favorites.
The revenue will be there, big corps “stakeholders” buying blocks of cheap office real estate.
As I said over a decade ago.
THE HATRED OF THE PRODUCERS BY THE PARASITES.
It’s origin was this from Any Rand.
Well, that appears to be one step away from the “they’re less than human” propaganda used by the Nazis.
Bidenazis and Bidenistas approve of the Adolph message – they just want to let Ukrainian Nazis (who hate Russians first and Jews somewhere down the list) carry the torch.
Laughing a bit.
The more I see Hochul, the more freakish she looks.
Guessing hochul agrees with hildabeast, we ARE Deplorables.
The VACANCY in Hochul’s eyes is OFF THE CHARTS. There is no there, there.
Yup. She has bird eyes. Can’t tell if she’s going to coo or peck you to death.
😃
(My first emoji here!)
LOL! Good job!
I vote for POOP ALL OVER YOU….
UH…that’s distinctly not safe for work.
It should be removed by admin.
I removed it as soon as I realized it had a second part to it.
Took me a few minutes to edit.
It must have *actually* been gone by the time I posted my complaint, then, or you’d have been blocked in making the edit.
Which would have sucked. I had no idea it was that freshly posted; I should have checked.
I hit the edit button in less than a minute but it looks like it stayed up while I tried to find a replacement.
Now we know. Do TWO edits if you do something really STUPID so you don’t end up wearing bird Schiff.
OK, Vastly Better than the rather pornographic cartoon that was there.
I liked the first part but not the second…
I was figuring you just didn’t notice it.
The evil in her, just like with Hell-the-BEAST, Satan Sauros, Piglosi, and Stavros Schwab, bubbles up from her Satanic roots to the outside.
It’s a little bit like Biden saying “you ain’t black” if they didn’t vote for him.
Then my next comment was that all of us could probably identify an Antifa member in a red hat.
PS I love that Robert Davi is behind this!
And the Hunter Biden character is actually creepier than Hunter (which I like – sort of an image before Hunter had to have his teeth rebuilt), and he is SPOT on with the attitude!
So…win, win!
Yeah, there was some BIG CRINGE watching the trailer.
LOL!!! I think this actor does a great job! If I am not mistaken, he is British, yet since I have READ a lot of accounts about Hunter, he just mirrors the dysfunction and brain death of the original accounts!
The Hunter actor was spooky good!
I think the usual suspects will take the Capitol Buffalo Jump and turn that on red states and red counties.
That is clearly the plan.
They want a big public resistance — the exact sort of thing that should be protected by the First Amendment — so they can do a brutal crackdown. Instead, we must continue to take notes and identify operatives. There will come a day for the rectification of names.
I so agree. We need to identify an anti-protest. A silent protest.
Exactly x 1000.
Either here or OT there was a post that described the command structure of Antifa, and the various operatives/ranks and how to identify them. Come to think of it, it was a video. Lots of details. Wonder if the vid is archived somewhere (Paging Gail…)…..
Antifa Command & Control Structure in field action.
Antifa Organization Structure and Rules
Bless you Gail, I knew you’d know!
It would be nice to be able to quietly note and decode all the skulduggery before it actually takes place. Especially since many, if not most, of the Pantyfa events seem to glow, as it were (over here, too, with our taxes paying for it, no less-gotta love those SPD and Greens…NOT)…..
It would be great to find the Buffalo Jump Management Team WAY BEFORE they don their skins.
Their live is a drama a sad drama that is taken us with them if we like it or not. Cornpop Biden the psychopath is destructive to out country. Look how destructive the guy was to his family.
It makes you feel real sorry for the families who have to deal with those members addicted to psycho-drama, like their side is.
Yes it is sad
Dramatization means it it much more likely to be watched.

What they are doing to children is so evil it just makes me crazy!
Besides what they’re doing to children personally, they are depriving them of loved ones — parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and probably siblings.
Yeah. We have to stop the shots.
It’s no longer about us escaping them personally.
We have to stop the deaths of others.
We have to save lives.
You and some others here have saved lives. You brought lots of information here. There are to many to mention. You brought us this forum so we can share. Thank you Q treehuggers 🙂
So true. Wolf and many others here saved many, many lives, including mine and my wife’s.
We are lucky and I am glad you and your wife are doing well 🙂
I am with. Parents are suppose to protect their children when they cannot protect themselves. I realize though when they are adults they are responsible for themselves but the pain is no less the same when they take the shot.
We’re still battling that one out for my son Brandon….Prayers desperately needed!
May Logic Reign…

Thank you! This woman is a monster. I think she’s in on Depop, and all the worst secrets of the Obama administration.
I don’t know if you’re aware (WSB told me), but CTH went DOWN after this went up.
I can confirm. I captured the article right after CTH posted it and within moments, poof, the site went down….
They know we know they know. And they must be skeerd.
Hope youre well.
Hey gil00, I’m hangin’ in there.
They definitely know we know and they’re pullin’ out all the stops. The whole gang is doing a full court press cause they’ve even brought back their favorite CIA Director and all around garbage human, Mike Morrell who stood in as their “authority” figure on the Face the Nation yesterday.
I think they’re too egotistical to be skeered, but I pray fervently that this time, they hang!
I think you’re right. They’re too egotistical and filled with hubris. They are going to “fuck with the lion and find out”. WE learned correct lessons from January Sixth. THEY are deceived by their own sins.
Learned We HAVE.
Show up, I, We, WILL.
State level for me. For now.
My next DC visit, will be Trump’s Inauguration.
Yeah, that sounds good.
Wow. Theyre all coming out from under their rocks. Youre probably really right about the scared part. They do need to meet the maker though.
because that petty petulant tyrant, JØbama, didn’t like it…..
He needs to get on his pink sissy bike and ride off into the sunset…

What’s tough about it? You just explain the birds and the bees….
Pretty close to Parthenon…hmmm
Temp?e for virgin sacrifices or perhaps sex with vestal virgins???
Temple…tablet trauma tingles 😨😨😯😯😃😃
Sounds like Mexican food.
😂
Doesn’t recall any virgin sacrifices at the Parthenon though it and its earlier temple were set up as the temple for Athena to be occupied by virgins in the idea as a symbol to keep them and Athena safe and thus protect Greece. Same idea with the Roman Temple of Vesta which was occupied by the Vestal Virgins. Now that’s not to say that virgins were not killed. If they profaned the temple, normally by having sexual relations of any nature with a man, they were put to death along with the man.
Thanks for the interesting history!
As far as I know the Romans and Greeks never did virgin sacrifices. Or live human sacrifices of any type.
Punishment is a different issue.
The Parthenon was named such because Athena was believed to be a virgin.
I know that this is a fictional account by Homer but King Agamemnon sacrificed his daughter to obtain favorable winds as a prelude to the Trojan War. It suggests that human sacrifice was an idea circulating in Greek society. Whether their is an actual instance of human sacrifice recorded in Greek history I do not know.
Fair enough…the Mycenaeans may have been different; I was thinking of the classical era, which was a 6-800 years later. (Cultures can change a lot in that many centuries.)
IIRC the whole Theseus-and-the-Minotaur tale starts with an account of the Cretans demanding tribute in people to be sacrificed to the minotaur. Of course, that was supposed to be the Minoans doing the sacrifice, not the Mycenaeans, and again it’s mythical.
The Bible describes accounts of human sacrifice as recent as circa 1000 BC. Of course that is not the Greeks but as I said I expect Greek society was aware of the idea and the practice in other cultures.
Oh, they were absolutely *aware* of it. No question there. (I was originally responding to a suggestion that it was being practiced on the Acropolis during classical times.)
On a slightly different note, the Romans and others claimed the Carthaginians engaged in the practice, which tells us very little about the Carthaginians (since the Romans could well have been lying and the question is still considered somewhat open today), but *does* tell us the Romans and Greeks considered it an abominable practice.
(Apparently it was sometimes acceptable to put children to death for other reasons, e.g., Sparta’s exposing of ‘defective’ newborns, but it was considered bad to do so in a religious context.)
And of course the Aztecs were doing it right up until the Spanish conquest.
Thx for the clarification! 💕

Dang. He p.o.d catturd too.
Blocking other patriots you disagree with is just stupid. IDIOTS.
I dunno what happened but i agree.
SD told DeSantis fans to leave, and then Catturd said he would block DeSantis haters.
Somewhere, Demon Donkeys are lighting cigars.
Ooh. I had no idea.
There is not a hate of DeSantis, just obvious is the fact that he is now entrapped in the usual suspects with money who have ruined this country for the last 50 years.
My personal feeling is that since DeSantis has not removed the Dominion machines, his ‘donors’ could make DeSantis lose his own re-election to Crist. McConnell is also whistling about Democrats now having the upper hand. SMH! They are all changing the narrative to fit the steal!
And if so, there goes Florida…for good. and for 2024. Those machines could be removed, but lots of money have been used to do everything but. DeSantis has over-seen this. Who has the puppet strings?
My own state, NY? I have just put my own R reps on notice that they have not been legally elected due to the algorithm in the voter rolls. There are quite a few groups looking to file complaints against their insurance surety bonds.
Too bad we do not have a team offense between patriots, yes.
And why do all of these octogenarians all look alike? Same Doctor Feel Good? Yes, I know what ingredients they probably use.
Did you see SD’s other post? DeSantis’ new spokeswoman filed a FARA. She worked in Ukraine for all the wrong people. Odd? Who got HER hired?

Yeah, this is getting ugly.
But that’s OK. We have to be shown! LET ‘ER RIP!!!
I gotta say it. DeSantis is looking worse and worse.
And I am NOT a DeSantis-hater. I like him. But he needs to get his shit together right quick.
Wonder if SD blocked Catturd.
There seems to be a problem just because some of us do not want to see DeSantis run this term does not mean we hate them.
So people took sites and see the other enemy? Misguided yes but only of I am right 🤓
The possibility for me to be right is slim 😂
Simply can’t understand why a “conservative”, would want to harm DeSantis, as he runs for reelection.
Desantis can be dealt with after November 8th.
This IS NOT rocket science.
true
Whatever DeS “really” is, he has done more for our side than almost all other Republicans (EXCEPT VSG) put together, starting with showing unprecedented courage and setting an unprecedented good example.
Yea.
Up until ~three weeks ago, “conservatives” were 100% WITH DeSantis.
About then, Sum Dunce edicts No More DeSantis Good. Desantis BAD. Support DeSantis NOT ALLOWED. Getcha Banned OT.
The Stoopid IS strong.
By pulling this crap with DeSantis, the DEMONRATS are throwing shade on and damaging both VSGPDJT and DeSantis.
Sort of Lucifer’s TwoFer…
We have to keep them from doing this DEMONIC split…
(Donkey and RINO walk up and say, “we’d like a Banana Republic, split…..)….
Yuppers.
PS First time an angry bird took down a cat. Sad.
Couldn’t resist….
We seem to splinter quickly and then loose. That is counter productive. Dems hold together like glue.
Yes DeSantis needs to stay in Florida he needs to get rid of who ever latched on to him.
I am assuming this is for real? Truth Social gearing up for a new kitty?
Its real.
Catturd IS Over The Target.
Catturd, has the Putz, SD, is in his sites.
Do NOTHING to hinder DeSantis reelection. NOTHING.
FL needs DeSantis. America needs DeSantis as FL Guvner.
November 9th, fair game.
If SomeDunce wants your opinion, he’ll give it to you.
😂😂😡😡😨😨😂😂

“Britain’s five-year-old £3billion aircraft carrier HMS Prince of Wales breaks down off the south coast of England just a short distance into 3,500 mile trip to the US after suffering ‘damage to its propeller shaft”

Chinese steel!
And naming it after the countries biggest idiot global warming proponent jinxed it.
Looks like Chuckles got the shaft…
HA!!!
N I C E one!
Wolf, I am at a loss as to why the heavy hitters here are so antagonistic to SD. It seems like a collective butt-hurt thing that everybody has for this guy as a result of his banning of dialogue that he didn’t want associated with his blog.
I can only hope that this comment/question doesn’t see the thread proper, as suffering the scathing retort of the more enlightened folk here would be the impetus of my last input to any further discussion.
Ever, again.
This is a free speech site. CTH is not. You can choose either one you wish.
And it isn’t very neighborly to threaten to leave if you don’t get your way. Nobody here would want you to leave no matter what you said or disagreed with. It’s the mixture of different flavors of opinion that makes this place special.
Thank you for the compassion. Duly noted.
Submariners need to do a better job of not tailgating.

🤣
Did Prince of Wales, run over a rock?
As the USS Enterprise, ran over Bishop’s Rock. (I was onboard.)
You’ve heard of carrier-killing anti-ship missiles from China that are a major threat to U.S. Navy aircraft carriers, but sometimes the floating airports are menaced by geographic features close to shore. In 1985, the nuclear USS Enterprise nearly sank after crashing into a shallow seamount. The collision caused a 60-foot gash that damaged three propellors and took out the port keel. Let’s examine this story in more detail as one of the Navy’s most famous carriers nearly sank.
What Happened?
In 1985, the Enterprise was operating in the southern California area of operations for readiness exercises. While steaming 100 miles south-southwest of San Diego near Cortes Bank, on November 2, 1985, the Enterprise struck a portion of the 13-mile-long Bishop Rock that damaged its hull. The crew “counter-flooded the void and controlled the flooding,” according to Seaforces.org’s account of the incident. But the number one screw was smashed, and two others were damaged. There was also a short-term loss of 24 JP-5 fuel storage tanks.

(Notice the website name? 😂 😅 😂 )
I read that second line and thought why didn’t they see the big light house on it, I didn’t know there were two Bishop Rocks.
Yea, the Bishop’s Rock in my case is actually underwater AND off the coast of Southern CA. I understand there is a navigation buoy over part(s) of it. Clearly marked on navigation charts.
MASSIVE screw up by the CO and the Navigation Team.

The other Bishop’s Rock, has a light house and is out UK way. (I think)
What a very odd and suspicious statement.
Democrats will say damn near anything at this point. They’re terrified of losing power because people hate their agenda.
WELL, DUMB ASSES, MAYBE THAT’S THE WAY IT’S SUPPOSED TO WORK!
On a similar track,

Excellent message! Thank you!!!
From my perspective their demoralization op is failing because it’s their very own destruction of our economy, our health,our future, schools, this weird trannie crap….it’s all come from them and people see that.
The other thing that we see clearly is that RINOS have done nothing, they haven’t even done the usual faux blustering.
There’s only one road out of this and it’s not the Uniparty.
Fixed the original statement.
“Colorado’s Top Election Official Says That if Republicans Win Midterms, ‘The Country Could Lose the Right to cheat in Less Than Three Months”
LOL!!! Too true!!!
