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 yes, it’s Monday…again.
But we WILL get through it – in CAT STYLE with our DOG FRIENDS!
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
Boilerplate, more or less, but worth reading again and again, if only for the minor changes, and to stay out of moderation.
MINOR CHANGE NUMBER 1
Never talk about committing violence in a reply to Wolf or in response to anything Wolf has said, or you may get put into moderation so that your comments can be screened. This is ONLY because DHS is now playing door-knock Gestapo with people who have spoken at school board meetings, made public comments, etc. DHS regime jackboots are knocking on doors of school board mama bears and stupidly insinuating potential violence from things people say or don’t say on social media. A guy in Ohio pointed his FINGER at the school board, and they went after him, armed with pictures of the pointing, and screen captures of online comments. Yeah.
SO – give the Nazis ZERO ammo. Keep any mention of violence, even joking, away from Wolf, so that he doesn’t have to “explain” humor to humorless jackboots who pretend not to know things.
As for discussion of “violent humor” among yourselves (e.g., “#TeamHeadsOnPikes”), just use whatever discretion you think is appropriate for yourselves. I will only put you in moderation if your comments create problems for ME or THIS SITE, but not if they only impact you.
YOU are responsible for your own comments, if they come knocking. YOUR choice. Just remember this…..
OTHER THAN THAT…….
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.
Musical Interlude
In honor of dear Wheatie, we now present some music to soothe, inspire, invigorate, or relax.
Let’s start off with an entire concert by The Beths – recorded on an iPhone by an apparent expert in the art. It’s a bit rustic, but fun!
OK – maybe that’s not your thing. If not, try this!
An awesome version of Great Is Thy Faithfulness, which hymn I was reminded of, by Carl on Sunday.
Finally, check out this epic orchestral musical selection called Tree of Life.
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.
New Study: "cardiac autopsy findings in five persons who have died unexpectedly within seven days following anti-SARS-CoV-2-vaccination… Our findings establish the histological phenotype of lethal vaccination-associated myocarditis." https://t.co/L4ciyWbgec
This is a German study from a reputable group. It's very hard to conduct this research in the U.S.
Germany also did the study showing that no healthy child 5-17 yrs of age died of Covid in that country. They also recommend against the Moderna vax in ppl <30. Not so with the CDC.
Dr Jha says its "crystal clear" that a healthy young male needs a bivalent (4th) Covid vax dose but..
he can't tell you how many *healthy* children have ever died of Covid &we have no biv trial data. How can he know the risk:benefit calc without the data? https://t.co/8dKZmMIlvS
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 DayYear Week:
decimate
verb
To destroy or kill a large part of (a group of people or organisms).
To inflict great destruction or damage on: The storm decimated the region.
To reduce markedly in amount: a profligate heir who decimated his trust fund.
To select by lot and kill one in every ten of (a group of soldiers).
Used in a sentence:
A required or mandated drug or vaccine, which decreases lifespan and fertility, but which cannot be questioned by science or the public, due to controlled media, can be effectively used to decimate a population with little or no risk of discovery.

This Rejoice & Praise God 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 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 our fellow QTreepers. Before hitting the “post” button, please proofread your post and make sure your opinion addresses the issue only, and does not confront or denigrate 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.
God is in Control . . . and His Grace is Sufficient, so . . . Keep Looking Up
Hopefully, every Sunday, we can find something here that will build us up a little . . . give us a smile . . . and add some joy or peace, very much needed in all our lives.
“This day is holy to the Lord your God; do not mourn nor weep.” . . . “Go your way, eat the fat, drink the sweet, and send portions to those for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy to our Lord. Do not sorrow, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”
Safe and Secure
At the Festival of Dedication, the Jews asked Jesus to tell them plainly if He was the Messiah. His response was not “Yes” or “No” but rather, “I did tell you, but you do not believe. The works I do in my Father’s name testify about me” (John 10:25). But then Jesus continued with a reason why they did not believe: “You do not believe because you are not my sheep. My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. I and the Father are one” (John 10:26–30).
Jesus states that the eternal life He offers is permanent. He holds His sheep—believers—in His hand, and no one can snatch them out of His hand. Jesus’ sheep were given to Him by the Father, who is greater than all and who also holds the sheep in His hand. No one can snatch believers out of the Father’s hand, either. Believers are eternally secure, held by the power of God.
In an extended metaphor, Jesus compares believers to sheep. A sheep without a shepherd can easily be snatched from the fold. “To snatch” refers to attacking, scattering, and stealing sheep like a wolf (John 10:12). There are people who claim to have truth but are really seeking to deceive believers (Matthew 24:5). The devil is described as a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour (1 Peter 5:8) and as a thief who comes to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). Yet believers are part of Jesus’ flock and cannot be taken away by spiritual wolves, lions, or anything else because Jesus is the Good Shepherd protecting His sheep (John 10:11). Those who belong to Christ are safe from anyone or anything seeking their destruction: no one can snatch them out of the Father’s hand.
Jesus is God, and no one can take the sheep out of Jesus’ hand, either (John 10:28). Romans 8:38–39 assures us, “For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Absolutely nothing can separate a child of God from the Father’s love, and absolutely nothing can take that believer’s salvation away.
A believer’s eternal security is purchased by Christ, promised by the Father, and sealed by the Holy Spirit. It is given and maintained by God’s hand, and it is permanent and irrevocable. The eternal life granted by Jesus to His “sheep” cannot and will never be stolen, revoked, or lost. A Christian who has trusted in Jesus Christ as the Savior is declared righteous before God for all eternity (John 3:16; Acts 16:31; Romans 5:1) and cannot lose his salvation. The Good Shepherd protects His sheep and ensures that no one and nothing snatches them from the fold.
“Great is Thy faithfulness,” O God my Father, There is no shadow of turning with Thee; Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not As Thou hast been Thou forever wilt be.
Summer and winter, and springtime and harvest, Sun, moon and stars in their courses above, Join with all nature in manifold witness To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.
Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth, Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide; Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow, Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!
“Great is Thy faithfulness!” “Great is Thy faithfulness!” Morning by morning new mercies I see; All I have needed Thy hand hath provided— “Great is Thy faithfulness,” Lord, unto me!
The big deal right now is the Twitter Files, which from what I’ve seen, seem on the verge of confirming what we already strongly suspected. I’ve only seen 36 parts of the thread; the picture being painted so far is some guy near (but not at) the top making a bad decision and no one in the company having the guts to challenge it. (Note that there is, so far, no real evidence of malicious intent, but plenty of evidence that a decision might have been made due to political bias–i.e., because the decision maker was a leftist, it might not even have occurred to him how badly he was favoring his own side. Not all biased acts are taken with the realization they are biased; that’s why they’re called “biases.”) We don’t know yet who, or what organization, specifically requested the Hunter Biden stuff be suppressed.
There’s more to come.
The biggest part of this is that enough of the Left, and normies, are on Twitter that there’s a decent chance millions of people who have no idea Hunter Biden had anything to do with laptops, will see this.
As Drudge used to put it: developing…
RINOs an Endangered Species? If Only!
According to Wikipoo, et. al., the Northern White Rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum cottoni) is a critically endangered species. Apparently two females live on a wildlife preserve in Sudan, and no males are known to be alive. So basically, this species is dead as soon as the females die of old age. Presently they are watched over by armed guards 24/7.
Biologists have been trying to cross them with the other subspecies, Southern White Rhinoceroses (Rhinoceri?) without success; and some genetic analyses suggest that perhaps they aren’t two subspecies at all, but two distinct species, which would make the whole project a lot more difficult.
I should hope if the American RINO (Parasitus rectum pseudoconservativum) is ever this endangered, there will be heroic efforts not to save the species, but rather to push the remainder off a cliff. Onto punji sticks. With feces smeared on them. Failing that a good bath in red fuming nitric acid will do.
But I’m not done ranting about RINOs.
The RINOs (if they are capable of any introspection whatsoever) probably wonder why they constantly have to deal with “populist” eruptions like the Trump-led MAGA movement. That would be because the so-called populists stand for absolutely nothing except for going along to get along. That allows the Left to drive the culture and politics.
Given the results of our most recent elections, the Left will now push harder, and the RINOs will now turn even squishier than they were before.
I well remember 1989-1990 in my state when the RINO establishment started preaching the message that a conservative simply couldn’t win in Colorado. Never mind the fact that Reagan had won the state TWICE (in 1984 bringing in a veto-proof state house and senate with him) and GHWB had won after (falsely!) assuring everyone that a vote for him was a vote for Reagan’s third term.
This is how the RINOs function. They push, push, push the line that only a “moderate” can get elected. Stomp them when they pull that shit. Tell everyone in ear shot that that’s exactly what the Left wants you to think, and oh-by-the-way-Mister-RINO if you’re in this party selling the same message as the Left…well, whythefuckexactly are you in this party, you lying piece of rancid weasel shit?
Justice
It says “Justice” on the picture.
And I’m sure someone will post the standard joke about what the fish thinks about the situation.
But what is it?
Here’s a take, from a different context: It’s about how you do justice, not the justice that must be done to our massively corrupt government and media. You must properly identify the nature of a person, before you can do him justice.
Ayn Rand, On Justice (speaking through her character John Galt, in Atlas Shrugged):
Justice is the recognition of the fact that you cannot fake the character of men as you cannot fake the character of nature, that you must judge all men as conscientiously as you judge inanimate objects, with the same respect for truth, with the same incorruptible vision, by as pure and as rational a process of identification—that every man must be judged for what he is and treated accordingly, that just as you do not pay a higher price for a rusty chunk of scrap than for a piece of shining metal, so you do not value a rotter above a hero—that your moral appraisal is the coin paying men for their virtues or vices, and this payment demands of you as scrupulous an honor as you bring to financial transactions—that to withhold your contempt from men’s vices is an act of moral counterfeiting, and to withhold your admiration from their virtues is an act of moral embezzlement—that to place any other concern higher than justice is to devaluate your moral currency and defraud the good in favor of the evil, since only the good can lose by a default of justice and only the evil can profit—and that the bottom of the pit at the end of that road, the act of moral bankruptcy, is to punish men for their virtues and reward them for their vices, that that is the collapse to full depravity, the Black Mass of the worship of death, the dedication of your consciousness to the destruction of existence.
Ayn Rand identified seven virtues, chief among them rationality. The other six, including justice, she considered subsidiary because they are essentially different aspects and applications of rationality.
I’m sure enough of this that I put my money where my mouth is.
The prior election must be acknowledged as fraudulent, and steps must be taken to prosecute the fraudsters and restore integrity to the system. (This doesn’t necessarily include deposing Joe and Hoe and putting Trump where he belongs, but it would certainly be a lot easier to fix our broken electoral system with the right people in charge.)
Nothing else matters at this point. Talking about trying again in 2022 or 2024 is pointless otherwise. Which is not to say one must never talk about this, but rather that one must account for this in ones planning; if fixing the fraud in the system is not part of the plan, you have no plan.
This will necessarily be piecemeal, state by state, which is why I am encouraged by those states working to change their laws to alleviate the fraud both via computer and via bogus voters. If enough states do that we might end up with a working majority in Congress and that would be something Trump never really had.

This is the WQTH Daily Thread. You know the drill. There’s no Poltical 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. Zeroth rule of gun safety: Don’t let the government get your guns. 5. Rule one of gun safety: The gun is always loaded. 5a. If you actually want the gun to be loaded, like because you’re checking out a bump in the night, then it’s empty. 6. Rule two of gun safety: Never point the gun at anything you’re not willing to destroy. 7. Rule three: Keep your finger off the trigger until ready to fire. 8. Rule the fourth: Be sure of your target and what is behind it.

Apropos of Nothing
Apparently the US Soccer Team got through the first round of the World Cup. This is where the 32 teams are divided into eight groups of four, and each team plays all of the other teams in the group (total, six games). 3 points awarded for a win, 1 for a draw, zero for a loss. The top two teams in each group advance to a more conventional “bracket” of sixteen teams–you lose, you’re done. The United States was the second team in Group B, so it gets to play the first team in Group A. (As near as I can tell the groups are set up by random draw with some restrictions to try to make the members not all from the same multinational league.)
The first of those games is tomorrow at 8AM Mountain Time, and it’s the one between the United States and the Netherlands.
The previous is a USA Today story (yeah, I know), but it’s regarding the team that found the SS Central America. It’s behind a subscription wall but it looks like the video will play even without one.
The Central America sank in 1857. It was one of the vessels that carried people from the East Coast to Panama, where the passengers could then cross the skinny part of North America and take another ship to California. Or vice versa. The transcontinental railroad was still twelve years in the future, but the Gold Rush had been going on for eight years.
People went in both directions. Gold came west-to-east. The Central America encountered a hurricane in September 1857 and went down in well over a thousand feet of water. Of her 578 passengers, 425 perished. In terms of lives lost, this was one of the largest US disasters up to that point.
The ship was under the command of Commander William Lewis Herndon, veteran of the Mexican-American War and explorer of the Amazon Valley. He went down with his ship. There is a statue of him at Annapolis; I recall hearing that was the only peacetime hero so honored. And he was a national hero; the last national hero before the Civil War. (His daughter later married Chester Alan Arthur–yes, that Chester Alan Arthur. And, Herndon, Virginia, is named for him.
Commander William Lewis Herndon, USN
There were 13,600 kilograms (!) of gold on board–13.6 metric tons. That was about 8 million dollars worth back then, and roughly 750 million dollars today. (It should be noted that this is well under a cubic yard of gold.)
The loss of the gold actually triggered an economic crisis. All money back then, even highly leveraged/fractional reserve bank notes, was ultimately based on gold; a bunch of money had literally disappeared.
But in 1988 Thompson’s group sent down an ROV (basically a drone), and over the next couple of decades a lot of that gold has been recovered, as well as artifacts, such as photographs, clothing, guns, brass items, and on and on. Much of that will be auctioned off this weekend (according to the story).
Just for instance, there is this Daguerrotype found in the wreck, nicknamed the Mona Lisa of the Depths.
I’ve actually seen this picture in person since it and many other artifacts was exhibited at the last American Numismatic Association convention. I got to talk to Bob Evans, who is the chief scientist of the team that recovered everything; and he is the man in the video in the linked story (where I saw it earlier today, it was not behind a paywall).
Much of the recovered gold was in bricks–several hundred ounces, much larger than the standard 400 oz bars you see in the movies–but much had been minted into coins in San Francisco.
US gold coinage issued before 1866 does not have the motto “In God We Trust.” (And the $2 1/2 quarter eagle never did.) Otherwise, the Liberty Head designs used in 1857 were used from 1840 or so through 1907 (a remarkably long run for a design in those days). But if you’re on a middle class budget with some disposable income, and you collect coins, you can’t collect gold by date. But you might want one gold coin with the motto and one without the motto. The problem is the $5, $10 and $20 without the motto are scare at best, and very challenging to find in uncirculated condition. It’s not that they didn’t make many, but that they got used. People weren’t about to set ten or twenty whole dollars aside back then, that was real money. If they actually got their hands on one of these, they ended up using it.
Except for the 1857-S double eagle. Those are relatively available in uncirculated condition, and that’s because hundreds of them were “saved” at the bottom of the ocean, in alkaline water.
The above image is a coin graded MS-66 (which is a pretty high grade on the 1-70 scale used for coins) and is worth roughly $30,000. Many of the other dates simply do not exist in this grade, so as I said, relatively available. (The best ones are in MS67+.) I do own one of these, but in a lesser grade that was quite a bit less expensive (however the absolute lowest a double eagle, even a dog-butt-common one in low grade, will cost today is about $2K mostly on account of the gold content).
It isn’t quite true that gold coins don’t react; here’s another one of a different color (in MS67). I find this color more appealing, to be honest.
Why Mars Sucks
Of all of the other planets in the Solar System, Mars is by far the most Earthlike. Yet it’s dry, has a thin atmosphere (0.6% of our sea-level air pressure) almost entirely made of carbon dioxide, and frigid, mostly colder than Antarctica, averaging -80 F or -60 C. Also, the surface gets blasted with solar radiation…not at a huge rate, but you wouldn’t want to deal with it long term.
Not the best real estate, but with a lot of equipment, we could possibly make a go of it, growing food in pressurized habitats. Oxygen is available, carbon is available, hydrogen is available too if you dig; there appears to be plenty of buried ice there. Contrast with the Moon, where ice can be found in some few places, but which is otherwise just a big freaking rock. Rocks contain plenty of oxygen (though it would take a lot of energy to extract it), but that’s about it for native resources for sustaining life.
Yes, Mars could be settled at great effort and at great expense, and the colonists could never, ever go outside without a pressure suit, and even then they probably won’t want to spend all of their time out there. Antarctica is benign by comparison: you won’t get radiation sickness and you can breathe. Even the Himalayas are vastly better than Mars (and people don’t live high up in them, but down in the relatively lower elevations well under 20,000 feet).
Yet we know Mars once had liquid surface water…which implies a much more congenial temperature and an atmosphere which a much higher pressure. Depending on what it was made of (probably not oxygen!), you might have been able to live there with nothing more than an oxygen mask.
If it was so much more livable then, why does it suck so much now?
The atmosphere went away.
The old atmosphere was thick enough to keep the planet warm. Yes, that means “greenhouse effect.” (It’s real; Earth would be a frozen iceball without it.) The current atmosphere isn’t thick enough to keep water from boiling away, but then the water is likely to freeze first because it’s so dang cold. But then it will sublimate–turning directly from solid to water vapor.
The atmosphere also does little to stop cosmic rays and solar particles from hitting the surface, too. Much of that crap is blocked by our atmosphere.
Well, okay…but why, then, did the atmosphere go away? We know there used to be one, why isn’t it there any more?
That’s a combination of Mars’ low surface gravity and its lack of a magnetic field.
The surface gravity means that atmospheric molecules, which are zipping around at varying speeds (but with an average speed directly related to the mass of the molecules and the temperature), will sometimes be travelling faster than Mars’ escape velocity; if that happens to a molecule in the upper reaches of the atmosphere, it might leave Mars for good. Since the average speed depends on temperature it’s only a matter of time before some molecule in the upper atmosphere, rebounding from a collision with another one, busts the escape velocity and goes away. Or think of it this way: Mars is a gravity trap for gas molecules, but it leaks because the gravity isn’t strong enough.
(Even here on Earth, which much more surface gravity, we lose some water this way–it’s a lighter molecule than oxygen or carbon dioxide, thus will travel faster on average at the same temperature.)
What’s left is the heaviest atmospheric molecule of them all…wait for it…carbon dioxide.
I said it was partially due to the surface gravity; the other factor is the solar wind. This is a constant stream of charged particles blasting out of the Sun; it’s part of the radiation load people on the surface of Mars (or the Moon) would have to endure. There are also cosmic rays, very high-energy particles that were blasted out of supernovae or…well I don’t think they know everything yet about where they come from. But: same story, they hit the Martian surface.
They would hit us here on earth, too, but with the exception of some cosmic rays, they’re almost entirely blocked.
On Mars this radiation isn’t blocked, and eventually, over tens or even hundreds of millions of years, strips the atmosphere away, hitting atmospheric molecules and giving them a big boost in speed, accelerating the process I just described.
This shouldn’t be confused with coronal mass ejections. The solar wind is always there; a CME can be thought of as a gust…a big gust.
What blocks the solar wind here, and why isn’t it happening at Mars?
What blocks it here is Earth’s magnetic field. The charged particles get deflected as they move through the magnetic field.
Mars has no magnetic field. Your compass would be useless for direction-finding. So without a magnetic field, Mars loses its atmosphere…and sucks.
But we’re going to keep digging. Why does Earth have a magnetic field? Why doesn’t Mars have one?
The Earth’s magnetic field is generated by our liquid iron outer core; eddy currents in all that molten iron generate a magnetic field.
Mars doesn’t have a liquid iron core.
Why not? Because it’s colder inside, and Mars is colder inside because it cooled off more rapidly than Earth after it was formed. And Mars cooled off more rapidly for one simple reason: It’s considerably smaller than Earth.
So, in the end, the reason Mars sucks is, it’s too small.

China is in the White House
Since Wednesday, January 20 at Noon EST, the bought-and-paid for Joseph Biden has been in the White House. It’s as good as having China in the Oval Office.
Joe Biden is Asshoe
China is in the White House, because Joe Biden is in the White House, and Joe Biden is identically equal to China. China is Asshoe. Therefore, Joe Biden is Asshoe.
But of course the much more important thing to realize:
Joe Biden Didn’t Win
乔*拜登没赢 !!! Qiáo Bài dēng méi yíng !!! Joe Biden didn’t win !!!
In this article I am going to pull together more information on several different subjects that make me think the destruction of the US meat industry will happen within the next five years. Maybe sooner if we can get the election fraud under control insuring a return of POTUS Trump.
DIET and BRAIN SHRINKAGE
The Koala is the outstanding example. (I cannot find the original science article so we are stuck with this one. It does have references to scientific studies at the bottom.)
…Koalas have one of the smallest brain-to-body ratios of any mammal. Additionally, their brains are almost smooth, and not folded like most mammals….. Brain folds increase the surface area for neurons. The smooth brain of a koala means that they probably lack higher level cognition and understanding that many other animals have….
In Australia, most of the land mass was never glaciated. Ice sheets never advanced over the continent, so the soils are very old, having undergone weathering and erosion over many thousands of years. According to the Australian Academy of Science, “this weathering has dissolved vast quantities of nutrients, and washed them away into the groundwater and/or rivers, leaving the soils depleted in nutrients such as phosphorous, calcium and potassium.”…
Only sufficiently specialized plants can survive in such nutrient deficient soils….
Faced with the changing vegetation, koalas had no choice but to eat the nasty leaves of eucalypt trees to survive. Those koalas that could survive on a diet that included toxic eucalypt leaves with little nutritional value had an advantage over the others and passed on their genes while the others died off…
The brain is one of the greatest energy drains of all the organs. For the average adult human, the brain consumes about 20 percent of the body’s energy even though it represents only 2 percent of body mass. Processing and transmitting all the electrical signals in the brain demands a huge expenditure of the body’s energy reserves.
Given the koala’s problem of living on such a nutritionally deficient diet of toxic leaves, one of the biggest energy savings available was in the brain department. Once again, those koalas that managed to survive by expending minimal energy would be the ones that got to pass on their genes. This provided the koalas with smaller, more energy efficient brains with an evolutionary advantage. Thus, the koalas of today sporting their shrunken brains…
There is overwhelming evidence that we cannot be a vegetarian species. In 1972 the publication of two independent investigations confirmed this.-1-2They concerned fats. About half our brain and nervous system is composed of complicated, long-chain, fatty acids. These are also used in the walls of our blood vessels. Without them we cannot develop normally. These fatty acids do not occur in plants, although fatty acids in a simpler form do. This is where plant-eating herbivores come in. Over the year, the herbivores convert the simple fatty acids found in grasses and seeds into intermediate, more complicated forms. By eating the herbivores we can convert their stores of these fatty acids into the ones we need.
About 2.5 million years ago animal foods began to occupy an increasingly prominent place in our ancestors’ menus. Smaller molar size, less robust facial muscles and alterations in incisor shape from that time all suggest a greater emphasis on foods such as meat that require less grinding and more tearing.
An increasing proportion of meat in the diet would obviously have provided more animal protein, a factor perhaps related to the increase in stature which appears to have accompanied the transition from Australopithecines through Homo habilis to Homo erectus.-3
But greater availability of animal fat was probably a more important dietary alteration…
There is a LOT of energy stored in fat. Energy needed to maintain a large brain.
At Britain’s Royal Society, Dr. Marta Lahr from Cambridge University’s Leverhulme Centre for Human Evolutionary Studies presented her findings that the height and brain size of modern-day humans is shrinking.
Looking at human fossil evidence for the past 200,000 years, Lahr looked at the size and structure of the bones and skulls found across Europe, Africa and Asia. What they discovered was that the largest Homo sapiens lived 20,000 to 30,000 years ago with an average weight between 176 and 188 pounds and a brain size of 1,500 cubic centimeters.
They discovered that some 10,000 years ago however, size started getting smaller both in stature and in brain size. Within the last 10 years, the average human size has changed to a weight between 154 and 176 pounds and a brain size of 1,350 cubic centimeters.
While large size remained static for close to 200,000 years, researchers believe the reduction in stature can be connected to a change from the hunter-gatherer way of life to that of agriculture which began some 9,000 years ago….
While the change to agriculture would have provided a plentiful crop of food, the limiting factor of farming may have created vitamin and mineral deficiencies and resulted in a stunted growth. Early Chinese farmers ate cereals such as rice which lacks the B vitamin niacin which is essential for growth.
Agriculture however does not explain the reduction in brain size….
Agriculture may not explain the reduction in brain size but LACK OF MEAT DOES!
WHY ATTACK MEAT?
The attack on meat and meat products is because it is an important part of the human diet. Plentiful meat and animal products such as milk, butter and cheese means a healthier, taller, stronger, SMARTER populous as shown above. For example the height of Japanese male students at age 17 has increase by 10 cm since WWII as eating beef became more acceptable. LINK and LINK Remember they were already eating a lot of fish but not red meat.
Researchers at the University of Washington’s Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) released a study titled: “Health effects associated with consumption of unprocessed red meat: a Burden of Proof study.” The paper was published in Nature journal in October.
The scientists declared, “We found weak evidence of association between unprocessed red meat consumption and colorectal cancer, breast cancer, type 2 diabetes, and ischemic heart disease.
Moreover, we found no evidence of an association between unprocessed red meat and ischemic stroke or hemorrhagic stroke.”
The authors of the study noted, “While there is some evidence that eating unprocessed red meat is associated with increased risk of disease incidence and mortality, it is weak and insufficient to make stronger or more conclusive recommendations.”…
Role of red meat in the diet for children and adolescents. * Optimal nutrition during the first years of life is crucial for optimal growth and development and, possibly, the prevention of chronic disease of adulthood. KEY POINTS
* Optimal nutrition during the first years of life is crucial for optimal growth and development and, possibly, the prevention of chronic disease of adulthood.
* Iron-deficiency anaemia in childhood and adolescence is associated with serious adverse outcomes that may not be reversible, making detection and early treatment an imperative. >> * Zinc plays a major role in cellular growth.
* Vitamin A is essential for the functioning of the eyes and the immune system.
* Vitamin A is necessary for membrane stability, and zinc is essential for mobilisation of the beta-carotene. Vitamin A deficiency contributes to anaemia by immobilising iron in the reticuloendothelial system, reducing haemopoiesis and increasing susceptibility to infections.
* Like iron, iodine appears to be involved in myelin production and, hence, nerve conduction.
* Meat is a core food in the diet for children and adolescents because it provides significant amounts of these micronutrients.
…….
Over the first few years of postnatal life, an infant’s body undergoes dramatic changes not only in physical attributes, but also in developmental milestones. By three years of age, an infant’s head circumference and hence brain size will have reached 80% of what it will potentially achieve in adulthood, and its length will also have doubled in size. Therefore, it is not surprising that any adverse events occurring during these periods may have a negative impact upon psychomotor development….
Abstract Red meat has been an important part of the human diet throughout human evolution. When included as part of a healthy, varied diet, red meat provides a rich source of high biological value protein and essential nutrients, some of which are more bioavailable than in alternative food sources. Particular nutrients in red meat have been identified as being in short supply in the diets of some groups of the population. The present paper discusses the role of red meat in the diets of young infants, adolescents, women of childbearing age and older adults and highlights key nutrients red meat can provide for these groups. The role of red meat in relation to satiety and weight control is discussed as the inclusion of lean red meat in a healthy, varied diet may help weight loss as part of an energy-reduced diet. A summary of the UK advice on the amount of red meat that can be consumed as part of a healthy, varied diet is also provided.
By now everyone at this blog is well aware Mr Global does not have the best interest of the ‘serfs’ at heart. The one thing they fear is an uprising . The easiest way to prevent that is through diet. A ½ starved serf with malnutrition is not going to rebel. Especially if he has been feminized.
…Food sheds will dictate where you can live and when you can change your residence. Calculations, such as those done recently at Cornell University, will determine how much food can be grown within that area and then the Transit Village population will be limited to the number of people who can be fed by that land (click on the blue to go to the Cornell website). It is reasonable to expect rationing based on this mode….
No animals are permitted that consume food that could be eaten by humans unless those animals are working. Because the food generated is seldom enough to feed everyone with sufficient calories, there is malnutrition and general exhaustion…
As she also said: “What we are describing is the New Feudalism….. UN Agenda 21/Sustainable Development taken to its logical culmination. Remember, Revolution is bad for business. “
The web page of Cornell University (Fauci’s Alma Mater) that Rosa refers to was scrubbed but is still in the archives…
….the goal of this research has been to develop models for evaluating the food production potential of the state’s agricultural land relative to the food needs of its population. To achieve this goal, we have created a collection of models that use spreadsheet-based approaches, geographic information systems, and linear optimization to answer questions about the capacity of land to meet human nutritional needs. These tools have been applied in the context of New York State but are designed to be adaptable to other geographic areas.
…the Mapping Local Food Systems Project focused specifically on potential local foodsheds, areas of nearby land that could theoretically provide part or all of a city’s food needs (Peters, 2007).
Agricultural activities represent 24 percent of all global greenhouse gas emissions annually, with livestock-related activities comprising nearly 80 percent of those agricultural emissions — so if the U.S. population decided to forgo eating cheese and meat for just one day a week for one year, it would be the equivalent of not driving 91 billion miles, or taking 7.6 million cars off the roads…. Though carbon monoxide [Does he mean dioxide?] tends to get all the attention, it represents just 9 percent of emissions in the entire agricultural sector, with methane (CH4), a greenhouse gas 25 times more potent than carbon dioxide, representing between 35 to 45 percent, and nitrous oxide (N2O), 300 times more potent than carbon dioxide, accounting for somewhere in the range of 45 to 55 percent each year.
Aside for the GASP! CLIMATE DESTRUCTION by cows, eating red meat, drinking milk and eating eggs has been portrayed as being BAD for your health for most of my life.
This is what Duck-Duck -Go shows in the first page blurbs:
August 27, 2019 Eating red meat may increase a person’s risk of developing heart disease or cancer. Specialists usually classify red meat as muscle meat from beef, pork, lamb, goat, or other mammals….
Dec 22, 2020 Data has shown time and time again that red meat is linked with high cholesterol, and in turn, increases risk for cardiovascular disease such as heart attacks and strokes. Consumption of less meat also is associated with decreased rates of obesity in both children and adults.
February 1, 2020 Red and processed meats do increase health risks. In spite of what the Annals of Internal Medicine study suggests, Dr. Hu says that an accumulated body of evidence shows a clear link between high intake of red and processed meats and a higher risk for heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and premature death.
Jan 29, 2021 Ultimately, the researchers found that those who ate more than 50 grams per day—or the equivalent of eating one egg per day—”had an increased risk of diabetes by 60%.” The study also found that the correlation between daily egg consumption and diabetes was more profound in women than in men.
Jul 22, 2021 For example, eggs typically are eaten with other foods high in salt, saturated fat and cholesterol, such as bacon, cheese and butter. These foods are known to increase the risk of heart disease, and they should be eaten sparingly. Most healthy people can eat up to seven eggs a week without affecting their heart health.
Women who drank three glasses of milk or more every day had a nearly doubled risk of death and cardiovascular disease, and a 44 percent increased risk of cancer compared to women who drank less…
10/28/2013 The Harvard scientists found no data to support the claim that the consumption of dairy leads to better bones, weight loss, or improved health. They also found some serious risks tied to dairy consumption, including weight gain, increased cancer risk, and increased fracture risk. It turns out milk does not build strong bones!
There are of course alternate view articles but these are the ones the general population has been fed for decades.
SO HOW DO THEY GET RID OF RED MEAT?
First you subsidize corn/grains with tax payer dollars so there is a financial advantage to moving cows & hogs off pasture and into concentrated feed lots. This concentrates the target making them easier to kill as well as increasing nitrogen (manure) run off and creates problems for the Eco-Warriors to scream about. =>> ANTI-COW/HOG HEADLINES!!!
Next is to MANDATE BIO-FUEL. This soaks up a LOT of the corn harvest.
Production • In the U.S., ethanol is primarily derived by processing and fermenting the starch in corn kernels into a high-purity alcohol. 94% of U.S. ethanol is derived from corn, while Brazil uses sugar cane as the primary feedstock.1,2 • The U.S. and Brazil produced about 81% of the world’s ethanol in 2021.3 • In the 2020/21 season, 5 billion bushels of corn, 34% of the U.S. supply, became ethanol feedstock.4
December 1, 2022, An Environmental Protection Agency proposal released Thursday invites public feedback on an array of changes to the Renewable Fuel Standard, initially designed in 2005 to push more ethanol, biodiesel and other plant-based alternatives into vehicles. The plan may spur an overhaul that could shift the program from one narrowly focused on gasoline, diesel and other liquid fuels to an initiative broadly aimed at decarbonizing transportation…. >> The agency is proposing to raise the amount of biofuel that must be mixed into gasoline and diesel over the next three years to as much as 22.68 billion gallons in 2025, up from this year’s 20.87 billion gallons. Under the measure, conventional ethanol may be used to fulfill as much as 15.25 billion gallons. But that exceeds what oil refiners call the “blend wall,” or the 10% ceiling on the amount that can be blended into the most commonly available E10 gasoline….
The problem is corn is a ‘Big Feeder’. It requires an application of 100 to 200 pounds of Nitrogen (in lb/A) and 60 pounds or more phosphate and potash (in lb/A). Univ of Kentucky LINK. Soybeans on the other hand are nitrogen fixing legumes.
Unlike corn, wheat and most other row crops grown in North America, soybean is able to obtain its own nitrogen (N) through the process of N fixation. N fixation is achieved through an intricate biological relationship between soybean and a particular species of soil bacteria, Bradyrhizobium japonicum. The bacteria obtain sugars from soybean to use as their energy source, and soybean obtains N from the bacteria. This is a fair deal for soybean and a great deal for farmers, given that N is generally a major input cost in crop production…. >> Soybean is able to fix most of the N it needs through its symbiotic relationship with rhizobia bacteria. It also takes up residual and mineralized N from the soil. Traditionally, soybean has been grown successfully without addition of N fertilizer. N management has been limited to rhizobia inoculation of fields new to soybean. An N “budget” developed from numerous research studies shows that soil and fixed N are generally sufficient to supply N needs at yields up to 60 bu/acre. As yields increase to 80 bu/acre and higher, an N deficit may result….
In the fall of 2021 my hay dealer said his cost of fertilizer TRIPLED.
From my other article: Joe Rieck dropped a BOMB in this short (4:30 minute) clip. He said that farmers, because of the high price of fertilizer are not planting corn but instead planting Soybeans CAN YOU SAY SOYBURGERS??? VIDEO LINK
Abstract The rapidly growing world population and rising consumption of biofuels intensify demands for both food and biofuels. This exaggerates food and fuel shortages. The use of food crops such as corn grain to produce ethanol raises major nutritional and ethical concerns. Nearly 60% of humans in the world are currently malnourished, so the need for grains and other basic foods is critical. Growing crops for fuel squanders land, water and energy resources vital for the production of food for human consumption. Using corn for ethanol increases the price of US beef, chicken, pork, eggs, breads, cereals, and milk more than 10% to 30%. In addition, Jacques Diouf, Director General of the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, reports that using food grains to produce biofuels is already causing food shortages for the poor of the world. Growing crops for biofuel not only ignores the need to reduce fossil energy and land use, but exacerbates the problem of malnourishment worldwide.
So between, fertilizer shortages and an increase in the Biofuel Mandate (pending) we can see a corn scarcity coming as well as a major increase in the general price of food similar to the one we saw in 2008-9.
TO REMOVE MEAT YOU NEED A REPLACEMENT
We are now seeing an increase in the amount of soybeans planted. Are soy burgers and soy milk a good substitute for red meat and cow milk?
….Infants given soy formula over breastmilk were exposed to the equivalent of 5 birth control pills and had between 13,000-22,000 times more serum estrogen.
Soy formula contains phytoestrogens, genistein and daidzein (also called isoflavones).
No phytoestrogens have been detected in milk-based formulas.
Around 25% of American [infants] fed formula are given soy formulas, according to NACD.…
A study found that infants on soy formula only have levels of serum estrogens between 13,000-22,000 times greater than infants who were either breast fed or given dairy-based formulas instead [R].…
Male infants experience a testosterone surge in the first few months of life. It is believed that during this period, the infant will begin to express male characteristics after puberty such as in the development of sexual organs and in physical traits like muscular development or deepening of the voice.
A deficiency of these hormones may cause problems with spatial perception and learning difficulties. Additionally, studies have shown that humans need animal fat for optimal neurological health, in spite of pushes to advance plant-based diets….
A vegan diet in children has been shown to leave them with stunted height and weaker bones over their meat-eating peers.
The introduction of strong phytoestrogens may disrupt natural hormonal balances and potentially spell long-lasting ramifications.…
Soy, a well-known anti-nutrient, inhibits the thyroid’s uptake of iodine — important for thyroid function — and spikes thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels to compensate.
Infants consuming soy formula as their only food are exposed to 10 times the levels of isoflavones per kilograms of body weight than the amount shown to cause thyroid suppression in adults after three months of exposure.
Babies were also reportedly more efficient at processing dietary estrogens than adults.…
In the past, we’ve covered the negative health effects of soy in men and animals alike.
Japanese researchers managed to convert a male catfish into a biological female using soy isoflavones.
Monkeys became aggressive loners after exposure to a soy-based diet.
Rodents suffered neurological damage in their ability to bond after long term consumption of soybean oil. ….
Now does the transgender push make sense? Soybeans is a great way to get rid of those pesky Alpha-males starting at birth.
Abstract Soy infant formula contains high levels of the isoflavones, genistein and daidzein, which are commonly referred to as phytoestrogens. These are non-steroidal chemicals with structural similarities to estrogen. Infants consuming soy formula have high levels of circulating isoflavones. These are an order of magnitude greater than the levels of isoflavones which have been shown to produce physiological effects in adult women consuming a high soy diet. There is conflicting evidence about the risks and benefits of soy phytoestrogens, with research presenting a contradictory picture. Some reviewers suggest that early exposure to soy may prevent cancer and heart disease. However, there is very little research on the effects of consumption of soy phytoestrogens by human neonates. Against this generally positive view there is an increasing number of recent reports that suggest that in experimental animals, phytoestrogens have adverse effects with respect to carcinogenesis, reproductive function, immune function, and thyroid disease. Despite the absence of adequate scientific research that quantifies the level of risk to infants, most would argue for a precautionary approach to be taken in situations where there are potential developmental effects from the consumption of pharmacologically active compounds in infancy and childhood.
Of course Mr. Global is NOT going to fund studies that show soybeans are bad for you.
Beside Soybeans we have a new entry in the Non-red meat category. BUGS!!!

Key Takeaways ◦ The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently deemed meat that is grown using animal cells as being safe for human consumption.
◦ While these alternatives to traditionally-produced animal meats are not yet available for consumers, the FDA’s decision is a key step in the process.
◦ Lab-grown options may offer similar nutritional benefits, but a smaller environmental impact compared to conventionally-produced animal protein.
Environment
One of the most widely touted benefits of cultivated meat is that making it would not have the same environmental impact as the production of traditional meat.
Raising cattle, chicken, pigs, and other animals, then using that meat as food, takes a toll on the environment. >> Studies have suggested that cutting back on our meat consumption could help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and their considerable effect on global warming and climate change.4
According to the UPSIDE website, cultivated meat is estimated to use 77% less water and 62% less land than conventionally raised meat.5
Cultivated meat would also spare many animal lives, as a lot of meat can be made from just a small number of cells taken from a living animal. In the long run, that could also lead to a smaller carbon footprint….
Now I know why over a decade ago, a Purina Vet told us in a seminar that no more animal de-wormers were going to be produced. Moxidectrin was the last.

I strongly suggest reading this report by downloading the PDF. It is reporting as it should be done and truly brings to light the horror Mr Global may have is story for us.
….EARLY in the morning of Sunday 13 May the villagers of Knowstone, Devon, were surprised to hear the sound of rifle shots. When they ran out of their houses to see what was going on, they saw a crowd of men in white and blue overalls running around, blazing away with rifles at a herd of Limousin cattle.As one after another fell to the ground, dozens of remaining animals went berserk, desperately trying to escape from the field, even tearing their way through thick Devon hedges reinforced by up to six strands of barbed wire. One neighbouring farmer was astonished to see 19 cattle scrambling through a hedge on to his farm, sweating in fear, their tongues lolling out, with blood pouring from wounds all over their bodies. He said he had never seen such a look of terror on any animals in his life. Thus began a nightmare which, over the following four weeks…
IAH is the Institute for Animal Health, Pirbright, Surrey. LATER IT WAS FOUND TO BE THE SOURCE of the disease outbreak and WOW…Bill Gates is a Pirbright Institute financial backer…at least he is now.
In my last article I detailed how foot-and-mouth disease research was moved from Plum Island to Kansas at the urging of Senator Hillary Clinton and Congressman Tim Bishop.So what progress has been made in locating a Bio-weapons lab into the middle of cow country?
The Kansas biosafetly Level – 4 lab UPDATE as of August 2022;
NBAF construction is complete. Commissioning — the testing of all the facility’s systems — is expected to be complete later this year in 2022. The full science mission transfer from PIADC in New York to NBAF in Kansas will still take at least a couple of years….
NBAF will eventually have about 400 USDA personnel. As of August 2022, about 240 team members have been hired to support NBAF operations. About 50 operational positions remain to be hired, and the rest will be part of our science teams. Watch USAJobs and follow NBAF on Twitter and LinkedIn for regular updates.
The U.S. beef industry is one of the largest in the world with over 30,000 feedlots, primarily concentrated in the Central U.S. (7). Almost 50% of the national fed cattle inventory are in large commercial feedlots, each with the on-time capacity ≥24,000 head of cattle. Approximately 1,160 million kilograms of beef are exported by the U.S. producers each year (8). Response by the world animal-health community to an FMD outbreak in the U.S. would likely involve a ban on beef exports.
And that would trigger the OIE De-population strategy as it did in the UK. Nice that the cows and hogs are mostly in feed lots and therefore easy to destroy.
Since deer are also susceptible to FMD, they would all have to be killed in the De-Pop zone… I wonder what that does to the Wildland Project introduced coyote, wolf and big cat predatory behavior….
And all of a sudden this quote makes sense. (Note it is VERY HARD TO FIND.)

Please review our HOST and site owner’s Guidelines for posting and discussion for this site. Wolf is kind enough to put up with *most* of us and our antics after thorough vetting. Violators of the baiting and deliberately attempting to divide the group rules WILL face consequences.
The discourse on this site is to be CIVIL – no name calling, baiting, or threatening others here is allowed. Company manners are appreciated. Those who are so inclined may visit Wolf’s other sanctuary, the U-Tree, to slog out discussions best saved for a wrestling mat. If, for some reason, this site is not available, head over to the UTree and visit the post at the top of the list or the closest rescue thread.
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.
THAT MEANS THAT ALL OF US HERE ARE ENTITLED TO OUR OPINIONS AND PREJUDICES, ETC., SO LONG AS THEY CAUSE NO PHYSICAL HARM TO OTHERS OR DOXX OUR FELLOW TREE DWELLERS.
All opinions here are valued for the diversity they bring to the issues, and the shaping of understanding regarding topics for which many of us do not have all information. Correcting the record on any one topic is appreciated.
Be careful in expressing thoughts as we would all like to think well of the rest of the group, and ill-thought out comments have a way of wrecking that for everyone.
Fellow tree dweller, the late Wheatie, gave us some good reminders on the basics of civility in political discourse:
No food fights
No running with scissors
If you bring snacks, be sure they are made with bacon
Auntie DePat’s requests as we are all supposedly adults and don’t just play them on TV like the body doubles pretending to be the squatter in chief:
If you see something has not been posted, do us all a favor, and post it. Please, do not complain that it has not been done yet.
The scroll wheel on your mouse can be your friend. As mature adults, please use it here in the same manner you would in avoiding online porn.
Thank you so much for any and all attention to such details. It is GREATLY appreciated by more than one party here.
1In that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah: “We have a strong city; he sets up salvation as walls and bulwarks. 2Open the gates, that the righteous nation which keeps faith may enter in. 3Thou dost keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee, because he trusts in thee. 4Trust in the LORD for ever, for the LORD GOD is an everlasting rock. 5For he has brought low the inhabitants of the height, the lofty city. He lays it low, lays it low to the ground, casts it to the dust. 6The foot tramples it, the feet of the poor, the steps of the needy.”
