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 yes, it’s Monday…again.
But we WILL get through it!!!
Shedding light where possible!
Nothing is gonna slow us down!
Prepare for the ride of your lives!

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.
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.

This song just makes people sound amazing! Check more of them out here.
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:
Holderrhoids
noun
- damage done to American justice by Eric Holder, likened to a burning butt
- men and women of Eric Holder’s ilk, who have turned the DOJ into a den of Marxism
- a future swarm of deadly Earth-terrorizing asteroids, named in honor of Eric Holder
Used in a Sentence:
“Were it not for the Holderrhoids, and the case of Holderrhoids that they gave America, it is very likely that the Holderrhoids would have been named something else.”
Holderrhoid knocking Lyncherrhoid into a Hillarrhoid (artist’s conception)
ENJOY THE SHOW
Have another great week!

burning butt??
Is that all you have to say about that topic?
Yeesh, man go read Saturday again! 😀
I need to read it the first time! As in right now. Long explanation coming later…..
LOL @ RHINO RHONNA getting RHEEMED. Yikes! 😆
Yeah, OK – TZSHCHAIKOFSKYYYY (or however it’s spelled) instead of science! Very enjoyable!
It’s apparently customary to retain a Latin-alphabet spelling from one country to another, even if the spelling makes zero sense in the “new” country. Which is how we end up with totally-unpronouncable seeming names from places like Poland, Hungary and the countries no longer a part of Yugoslavia. They’re quite pronouncable provided you follow the rules where they came from. (I’m talking about people, not places; places tend to get renamed in other languages, which is why we don’t spell the capital of Poland as Warszawa (pronounced “Varshava”).
But in the case of Tchaikovsky/Chaikovskiy the original language is written in Cyrillic and so we suddenly have the freedom to spell it “PhucqueDzhoBaidn” if we want, so long as we pronounce it something like “Chai-kov-ski.”
Wow I was vague until … PhucqueDzhoBaidn … now … Chrystal clear LOL
Thanks 😃🤚
LOL on the FJB creativity there 🙂
“(I’m talking about people, not places; places tend to get renamed in other languages, which is why we don’t spell the capital of Poland as Warszawa (pronounced “Varshava”).”
___________
So we should call ‘Kiev’ Kiev, like before the Westeropithicus Flagus Falsus?
Well, it’s originally not in Latin anyway so what I’ve said has nothing to do with it. You’re now dealing with whose version of the place name you’re going to try to transliterate.
Obviously someone somewhere decided to transliterate Ukrainian instead of Russian for Ukrainian place names. Which makes some sense actually.
LOL
“Holderroids”…perfect. 😅

Hey Gail, I just wanted to give you a heads up that there is someone commenting here that is linking Covid crimes to “climate change” issues.

Report Reveals the Alarming Reason Why Bud Light and Nike are Shoving “Transgender” Dylan Mulvaney in America’s Face
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/04/report-reveals-the-alarming-reason-why-bud-light-and-nike-are-shoving-transgender-dylan-mulvaney-in-americas-face/
The New York Post reported:
Unelected CEOs with progressive agendas are shaping our society. And their version of “making a positive contribution to society” is to push wokeness and perversion. There must be ways to stop this besides boycotts.
The boycotts clearly aren’t working.
So what you mean to say is “There must be ways to stop this.” (full stop.)
The idea that RATFINK can say “Society is demanding” and NOBODY is questioning this statement, explains just how badly these JAZIS are screwing up the world.
Right. The majority of society HATES this.
Ratfink just asserts this bogus crap, and the media that not only wants to believe the lies, but also depends on Fink’s good financial graces, just goes right along with these untruths.

I meant to post in reply to Steve, so I deleted here and re-posted in reply to Steve (below, I think).
I thought you were doing that Q-connected thing, iirc, where people would post “.”, “..”, “…” & never knew what that was all referring to. Me clueless, who knew? 😉
I’m not sure that boycotts aren’t having some impact, though they haven’t stopped it, yet. It seems like there is at least one example where a boycott caused a company to turn around, but I can’t think of it at the moment. People are getting awfully tired of having this 💩 imposed on them.
Coca-cola certainly STFUed after people turned on them for attacking Trump. I don’t think they ever apologized, but at some point they stopped digging the hole deeper.
Yes!
Unfortunately institutions in general don’t do “apology” well; they just stop doing whatever it is.
That’s because they’re weinies …
I suspect the real reason is that due to lawyers and such, you NEVER admit fault.
Bingo!
Betting they are. Enough folks stop buying, in this case AB, profits will be effected. <<< Money matters in the final analysis. Not woke BS.
See my response to Steve above. We have to play the long game.
Boycotts will work, but it will take a long time.
Sure, the companies are getting money from investment firms for their CEI score now, but what happens when the companies are BROKE? Will the investment firms, who ultimately represent millions of investors who are in it to make actual money, continue to invest in companies that don’t make any?
We must be patient, and relentless. When we say NEVER AGAIN buy an Anheuser-Busch product, we have to MEAN IT. As in FOREVER. Maybe they won’t be broke until ten years from now, but they will be broke eventually, if we all stand strong.
Just a point of clarification. The problem is InBev, which owns AB. That’s a global company. The Busches, for all their faults (and they have MANY), wouldn’t have gone along with all of this. August A. Busch, III, is/was a marketing genius. He would have seen the pitfalls. Of course, he also sold out and screwed his own kids in the process.

Although much less bad than the current crop of globo-fascists.

Not Vanguard, as I recall. I recall reading a quote from its CEO that specifically denied such behavior.
Those who hired the marketing woman must have been aware of her resume, they cannot have been surprised at what they got.
I don’t know anything about stocks and shares, so I don’t know how it is possible, to make money when shares go down in value.

This is why I keep pointing to The Network of Global Corporate Control
A key finding is the CONTROL is much larger than the $$$ involved would indicate. I will add that this is because of the $$$ in mutual funds, 401Ks and Pensions. Dollars that are ‘Owned by the little guy’ but are USED by financial institutions to wield control.
Simplified:
Who controls the world? Resources for understanding this visualization of the global economy
[quote]
…To answer the question, “Who controls the world?” the study looked at ownership networks, breaking it down to nodes (such as firms, people, governments, foundations), links (the percentage of ownership) and value. Overall, the study looked at:
…The authors of this study also assigned each player in this system a degree of influence. And overall, they found that the 737 top shareholders have the potential to control 80% of all the transnational corporations’ value. These top shareholders are mostly financial institutions in the US and UK. The first 10 on the list:
1. Barclays plc
2. Capital Group Companies Inc.
3. FMR Corporation
4. AXA
5. State Street Corporation
6. JP Morgan Chase & Co.
7. Legal & General Group plc
8. Vanguard Group Inc.

“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
FREE STATE. As in, not what the Bidenoids and Pernicious FIB desire.
FWIW – that is exactly what Texas (and other states) is in the midst of doing. It is a multi-generational change.
Nothing can stop it.
AMEN!!! Power to the People. The REAL PEOPLE.
👍
Our side needs to learn strategic patience. Their side already knows and has done it for over a century. We have too much talk and not enough action. We can stop it right where we live. Stop spending money that helps people who hate us. Stop watching and listening to crap. Chase the false teachers and leaders from their perches in the churches, schools, local governments, medical industry and businesses.
Think coal mining camp towns. Each company had its own currency. It purchased from suppliers and resold to company employees and families. Gold/silver/commodity based standard changes the game.
States can do the same thing. Balanced budget amendments to state constitutions are necessary.
Texas can be its own country, it has everything it needs. Others are watching and implementing. Alliances between like-minded states will be necessary.
Use strategic patience and flip the script permanently.
Patience is not a great American virtue, that’s for sure. Waiting it out just isn’t our style, but you are correct. We’re going to have to learn how to do it.
I Want it NOW …
skip to the “I want it it now” part unless you really really want to hear it all, just saying … 🙄😣🤚
Exactly.
In my opinion, one of the most important things states could do is start to pull back control of their National Guards, in any way possible. States should exert any and all possible authority over control of them, away from the federal government.
GREAT thinking!!!

Are Citizen Militias Legal? -NPR
That is CITIZENS so how about STATES?
These states have their own armies not under the control of the Commander in Chief
[QUOTE]
During WWII, the 1916 legislation was amended to allow state militaries to defend their own states. Now called State Guards, they were trained and equipped by the federal government but maintained their separation.
It wasn’t until 1956 that Congress allowed for the continual existence of these units outside of a wartime role. A State Defense Force (SDF) is a state militia under the command of the chief executive of that state only. Twenty-five states in America have some kind of SDF, and all states have laws allowing one. Whether they call it state guards, state military reserves, or state militias, they are not a part of the National Guard of that state and only partially regulated by the federal government and cannot come under federal control.
Title 32 U.S. Code § 109 subsection (c) provides for these SDFs.
During World War I, Congress authorized states to create Home Guards as reserve forces aside from the American Expeditionary Forces in Europe. During WWII, the 1916 legislation was amended to allow state militaries to defend their own states. Now called State Guards, they were trained and equipped by the federal government but maintained their separation. It wasn’t until 1956 that Congress allowed for the continual existence of these units outside of a wartime role. For a time, these SDFs existed only on paper. During the Reagan Administration, that changed. Reagans Department of Defense wanted SDFs in all states….

I’m going to start being very blunt.
Soros BLACK PAWN (TM) prosecutors, AGs, and DAs are now a THING.
Nobody will speak the blunt truth, but the most VISIBLE and the most PERNICIOUS of the Soros CRIMINAL DAs/AGs are BLACK.
Why is that?
In my opinion, it’s because they’re much harder to FIRE when they’re corrupt, incompetent, or otherwise at fault. They have an automatic support base of RACIST BLACKS and COMMUNISTS. Everybody in government is AFRAID of them. And they can ALWAYS use the “race card” as a defense.
Soros BLACK PAWNS are setting back black civil rights by DECADES. And the DEMONRATS absolutely do not care.
^^^ Truth. Implemented as part of their plan many decades ago.
The challenge for us is to not assume one skin color is all the same in their understanding and views. The ones doing it have sold their souls. They are the willing slaves of their puppet masters.
The old phrase of “if one Englishman smells bad, they all do” does not apply. Discernment is needed.
Dems sold out to communism long ago. Hope and Change was a front for it in more recent times. It is why the old, more conservative southern Democrats became Republicans, which flipped a lot of southern states to GOP control, which the RINOs have abused
American Conservatism FAILED black conservatives time and time again, writing them off over and over – abandoning them to the whips and chains of the DEMOCRAT SLAVE-HUNTERS, who ran down any poor soul who left the plantation.
NEVER AGAIN!!!
👍👍👍
Just my 2 cents, I totally agree with you about the blackness. The black Dem’s don’t care but I am thinking some of the white Dem’s may care, not all by any stretch but a few may see what’s happening and aren’t comfortable with it.
This all started with the equality crap that was forced down corporate America’s throat. Sadly if we’re all honest every corporation had it’s tokens, they needed to keep the Political class happy. Most didn’t have a clue what they were doing in there position. They were there because the company had to play the Political game. Lived it first hand at the time.
I am not saying this because am racist, just pointing out the obvious.
Saw first hand people being overstepped in their careers to make room for this to happen more than once.
Now it’s just being played out in the Political arena.
Incompetents who have been elevated for any reason of TOKENIZATION are always a weak point in any organization. That Includes whites, Asians, men, women, gays and lesbians – whatever. They get positioned for reasons of “balance”, and they become impossible to REMOVE when their incompetence is exposed. THEN they become personally dependent on the “reason of balance” to keep their job, so they champion and thus effectively institutionalize the reason for their being put there in the first place.
NASTY.
👍👍👍
Remember, blacks were being used by the Communists WAY back. That series of articles I wrote about the graduates of places like the Tuskeegee Institute being lured over the the Soviet Union, and coming back to found generational lines of politicians and educators has probably expanded into lawyers. I wonder what I would find if I researched ole Fat Alvin?
OMG – great point! The guy has hammer and sickle tracks FOR SURE.
I just did a quick dive on Alvin. If what I found is correct, and I think it is, Alvin is a child of a white father and black mother. And mom appears on the 1950 New York census as born in Indiana, but I can’t find her anywhere before that. She was 22 years old, and listed as divorced. There are possible girls born in Indiana at the right time, but unless she changed her first name, she’s not there.
Love it. What a MAROON that boy is!
I should note that the song, “Fields of Gold,” was written and performed by a Brit by the name of Gordon Sumner, back in 1993.
It was on his fourth solo album.
Hope he made a killing on royalties!!!
I’m sure he does.
A particularly nice rendition! 😍

Can we get some input from para59r — was there a video in there when you looked?
It’s not meant to be a secret from you, Valerie — just look on YouSchmoob for the official music video.
I’m very curious whether it worked for para59r and then stopped working…..
blank for me
I took out the blank lines inside the spoiler code, and now it works for me. Not sure if that’s the actual reason it started working, but that’s what happened!
it still shows nothin for me, even after reloading the page, fyi…hmmm
Same. (Lucy effect in play)
I’m assuming that they’re trekkin’ around in barley stubble after harvest, as it does not look particularly appealing. Barley, itself, is a generic cereal grain much like wheat, rye, or oats. It’s a grass that sets seeds on a long stalk, then dies back. It would formerly be harvested with a scythe —
Barley is best known for making beer — partially due to the infamous Reinheitsgebot “beer purity law” — however the grain must be “malted” before use. Simply put, this is wetting the grain so that it begins to sprout. The harvested dried grain is almost entirely starch, but a sprouted seedling needs sugars to grow. Wetting the grain alerts the kernel to release enzymes to crack the starches into sugars. In keeping with the rest of the maltreatment documented in the folksong “John Barleycorn”, these sprouting grains are then dried in an oven and roasted to the desired color (see “dark beer”). The full amount of starches need not be converted to sugars before drying, as the enzymes can tolerate some heat — remaining starches can be converted during the beermaking process. A chocolate malt adds some malted grain (typically almost completely converted to sugars) to a chocolate shake.
I have GOT to show that to hubby. He likes to use a scythe and is good at it.
Because of the rain and other stuff, 1/2 my rye got away from us and is now turning into grain. 😖
And his is still my favorite version.
The Giant Injection in the Room – Estimates of the Dead
https://peterhalligan.substack.com/p/the-giant-injection-in-the-room-estimates
More detail and discussion at the link.
WOW.
Terrific post, TT. Thank you.
As we have known on here since it started – a worldwide, indiscriminate lab rat experiment conducted by Satan’s minions.
YW!
Funny how that chart looks alot like the votes counted over time on election night 2020 with the Biden “F”
I was thinking that that was a pretty bizarre “coincidence” too, Please…hmmm…
A bit about what’s been going on with me (yet still necessarily vague).
When I returned from my big recent absence, I discovered that a huge technical problem had occurred, threatening my ability to maintain the site, and much more. It may very well have been enemy action. However, I didn’t really have time to investigate – I needed to get back in control and fix things, which was going to be very difficult.
That has now happened. It took me a couple of weeks to recover, but things are now relatively safe, knock on wood.
I appreciate everybody’s patience with my not being around, and in particular our authors, for keeping things going. I am grateful for everybody’s work in keeping the conversation alive.
I would caution people to make sure that their technology and online resources are all ROBUST, BACKED UP, and padded with CONTINGENCY PLANNING. Have plans in place for all manners of failure.
Likewise, take the evil KlauSS at his word, and prepare for CYBER WAR. Assume that the Bidenoids are going to try to make our lives difficult. BE PREPARED.
As a cautionary tale, one of my early Linux installs used Mint on LVM. I will never do that again. For the sorts of disk reconfiguration that I most commonly do, it is far better for me to have generically readable drives — LVM requires that you interrupt the GRUB boot process to understand LVM before you can get to the drives.
Linux is a wonderful thing, and was an important part of my recovery solution. However, I had to get very creative, because the ultimate solution to an unexpected failure was “Plan C-3” or something that far down the list. Thankfully, it only took a few days to realize I was in that much trouble.
Nonetheless, I’m very happy with the strength of the fix. I’ve actually improved security over the impressive legacy security that I had shamelessly exploited before, in a kind of highly leveraged technical debt.
Life is good! 😎
Thank you!
Just swapped out the flapper in the hall bathroom toilet.
“But Cooth”, you say, “you just fixed the chain a couple of weeks ago!”
Yeah. The chain broke again, but not where I’d fixed it. The chain broke right at the flapper — thus showing, when a chain’s time has come, it is done — no matter how you might try to fix sections. So we got a new flapper assembly (with all-new chain) from Amazon, it arrived on Sunday, and it just got installed in the wee hours of Monday.
Huzzah!
Toilets! UGH!!!
Unfortunately, they need to be part of everyone’s skill set, and they’re always going to be rinky-dink failure-prone unsanitary pieces of junk.
From the inlets, which are bullshit cheap jive-ass stop fixtures using a compression washer placed partially behind and under the toilet…..did you know you’re supposed to check them every couple of months to see if they still work? The next house I build for myself will use solid brass quarter-turn ball valves for toilet shut-offs, just like most of the valves in this house, and they’ll be accessible by regular humans and not double-jointed midget contortionists.
Then you move into the innards, which are all proprietary. If I had my druthers, anyone making the porcelain parts couldn’t make innards, and vice-versa. And, BTW, the Feds should have nothing to do with either — the marketplace will appropriately allocate low-flow to deserts and high-flow to rainforests with nary a word from The Swamp.
Finally, and worst, there is the outflow. If anything says “18th-century sanitation” in a modern house, it is the infamous wax ring interface for toilet outflow. The less said about it, truly, the better.
One of our family members have always abnormally large ‘by-products’ that cause problems – overflows, plungers, etc. – until we got her a Gerber Power Assist toilet for her apartment – and now no matter what she produces – it’s handled without a problem.
The standard tract-house construction template for toilets is an intolerable low-bid farce (as mentioned above).
Then, again, in the early 1970’s my dad and my uncle went back to the house where they grew up and improved it for my grandfather. The first trip, they replaced the coal-burning stove with a city-gas furnace. The second trip, they installed an indoor flush toilet to avoid a trek on a boardwalk across the back yard to an outhouse.
“…If anything says “18th-century sanitation” in a modern house, it is the infamous wax ring interface for toilet outflow….”
Do not remind me! We probably have to replace those in THREE bathrooms.
Why Amazon? They’re on the shelf at Lowes and Home Depot.
I am reminded of the shower brush that hung from a knotted cord of some sort.
The cord broke, so I tried to tie the break back together and the cord literally broke two more times in rapid succession. So now it has no cord. Not sure what to replace it with that would be water-resistant.
Nylon or polyester rope at the hardware store.
That should work, provided it comes thin enough (basically a tad thicker than yarn, tops).
Polyester. It has better UV stability (Nylon is stronger)
3mm = 0.118 inch

2 mm

or you can go to WallyMart or a hardware store.
It’s a shower (and indoors–this ain’t camping), UV unlikely to be an issue. Basically between the two price and availability will count for the most.
I keep forgetting you are ‘up north’
Even in the house I have to worry about sun damage.
If you want CHEAP go poly. It even floats. 😋
No you’re mistaken.
UV is a BIG problem here; we have less atmosphere to screen it.
But my bathrooms are windowless.
You could use a long zip tie and leave a loop.
Hope everyone had a wonderful Easter! Ours was lower key since Hubby was playing bass for 3 services to start the day, though we saw all our kids & spouses, except one who was out of town, & my parents (Hubby’s parents were deceased before we had even met)…& of course grandbaby Lilah who was crawling around & pulling up to stand a few times, on the cusp of starting to walk. Our daughter is just 10 days from her due date for grandbaby #2 & they Still haven’t gotten moved into their house. Almost everything on their C of O list is done but a couple things dependent on son-in-law’s family members to assist remain outstanding…They are cutting it Really close to the wire.
So in speaking with my daughter-in-law about wide ranging topics she shared a few interesting tidbits recently:
There is a social media trend of women wanting to give birth naturally & alone. This is increasing the likelihood that babies will be delivered with assists from ambulance workers, like from our son Brandon who is undergoing the EMT boot camp for Detroit where he’s been hired as an EMT/firefighter.
Back when she gave birth she said that she was pressured into taking an epidural, which she hadn’t wanted. Her sister-in-law has lingering problematic issues from her own epidural for a baby delivered Nine years ago. Tara thought that the hospital pressured her into the epidural because they made money off the numerous components of the procedure.
She was of the mindset to decline all shots for Lilah when she was born. For some reason she allowed them to give her a Vitamin K shot that she has since learned can cause significant issues for babies as their system is overloaded w/ excess Vitamin K that the liver needs to remove, leading to jaundice. Lilah spent about a week in the hospital due to jaundice.
She was concerned for Clarissa, our daughter, that she might not be prepared for all the pressures that come fast & furious at the birthing mother to ensure that her baby will not get injected, among other issues, since depending on the hospital &/or the staffing it’s possible that they either pressure one to do something you don’t want or they potentially just ignore your wishes any way. Would appreciate prayers for the safe & healthy delivery of this next baby in God’s timing, given all the other issues still pending…
Friends of theirs, who also had a baby pretty recently, both took mRNA injections, she thought Pfizer, 2 rounds each before getting to the place of never taking more of it, thankfully. The woman’s mother had taken one of the shots & suffered a stroke & died 2 weeks later so they Now realize how dangerous the shots are…
Tara’s father, who died last month, was basically killed by medical incompetence. They believe his health issues were brought on by taking a Covid shot, which is likely the underlying reason for his death. He was shuffled back & forth between the hospital & rehab centers for about 8 months. On the day he died they were forcing him to leave the hospital, due to insurance running out again, he was feverish, suffering from pneumonia, had tested positive for Covid, which staff lied about but her mom saw in his electronic chart, & was transported against both the patient’s & family’s will.
He had some type of respiratory assist, possibly a Bi-Pap, that needed a respiratory therapist to run it. He was transported without appropriate respiratory support & the rehab center didn’t even have the capacity for the proper set-up to handle his respiratory needs. His wife watched her husband fading & pulled out a pulse oximeter she carried in her purse & he was in the mid 90’s but it kept dropping. She was yelling at the ambulance attendants to take him back to the hospital immediately & as they put him back in the ambulance his sats were about 80, his eyes rolled back & that was the last she saw him living as he died in the ambulance w/ no family present…they have a lawsuit in development.
All the time that Harry was sick his wife kept trying to get him to the VA hospital in Ann Arbor, where his doctor was located & where they were familiar with his case. There were all sorts of issues with this involving protocols &/or insurance. The day he died he was Scheduled to be sent home, because he was “fine”, & his wife had prepared a hospital bed on the first floor of their home since he could no longer do stairs. She thought she’d have him home at most a few hours until he had significant respiratory issues that would require her to call an ambulance. She had prepared by discussing the situation with their city’s fire department & discovered that she could direct them to transport Harry to the VA, finally, but that whole scenario ultimately never materialized.
At one point the hospital had put Harry in a “covid ward”, absolutely against his & his family’s wishes. According to Tara’s mom this was an out-of-the-way part of the hospital where elderly people were shuffled and basically left alone to die! The horrors of what they experienced & witnessed are truly unconscionable, & surely multiplied for countless families across the country, & likely even the world…God help us! 😭
One good thing that happened for Harry was that their whole church, a very small nearly extended family, gathered at the facility where he was around Christmas. Staff brought him out to the visiting area & waived their Covid Crap Protocols allowing all the family & church family to gather around him & sing Christmas carols. His last holiday on earth was thus very special & they have this precious memory to warm their hearts as they grieve & learn to live without the family’s patriarch.
I guess that some of the Covid Crimes are still pissing me off. Two of my Three married kids were married during scamdemic conditions that marred multiple aspects of the celebrations. Now our first 2 grandkids will be born under covid protocols that will limit our involvement &/or enjoyment of the process. We weren’t even allowed to see Lilah nor our son & daughter-in-law as they were only allowed one additional person to authorize & they chose Tara’s mother, which was entirely appropriate for her to be with her daughter in her first birthing experience. For our daughter’s baby I’m the only grandmother living & so will probably be designated to be there. Hopefully that hospital will have relaxed their protocols, but we really just don’t know what we’ll be facing. Going to hospitals in the last 3 years has felt like reluctantly submitting to abuse…it’s much harder & more mentally & emotionally depleting than I would have thought. I Really Wrestle with my Anger in these scenarios. I’d appreciate any prayers for these situations, as God might direct…Thank you & Blessings!
Prayers for what is to come, sympathy and consolation for what is behind — with prayers for strength and healing for what has been.
Thank you for these insightfully wise prayers. God Bless!
My dear, I confess that any prayers of mine are anything but wise, for I am foolish. I am very much digesting our brother Carl’s teachings at https://www.theqtree.com/2023/03/19/dear-maga-20230319-open-topic/ .
What I am is logical and analytical, for whatever that is worth. I envy you the comfort that you have that I am striving for.
That said, I am trying to pray — and I find it much easier to pray for others than for myself…..and I have prayed for you and those around you. Any blessings, however, are not due to me — but are from The One that is closer to you.
Believe me I Know that “every perfect gift comes from above” & if we play even a small part in that process we are blessed.
Please don’t put yourself & your personal faith journey down, nor exalt mine. I have Many Struggles in these arenas too & do not live an exemplary Christian life in so very many ways. Major feet of clay, hard head, & idle hands for starters!
I too am “logical & analytical” quite often, though likely not to the level of many others here in the Q-tree. I agree with this “and I find it much easier to pray for others than for myself” but there are so many times when I find it difficult to pray at all. Getting caught up in the cares of life & the distractions all around can often keep my focus anywhere but on God & His ways…
Jesus gives us a good example of how to really pray, in John 17, where He prays for Himself to be glorified, prays for His disciples, & prays for all believers…
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%2017&version=NIV
Thank you for thinking of me & others & for lifting us & our needs to the Throne of Grace whenever you do pray. We are One Body, with many members, & we all play a part showing the Lord’s love & ministering to each other in myriad ways along this convoluted journey of life…
May God Bless YOU Richly!!! ❤
You are a blessing to all of us, Coothie.
Amen!!!
There is a social media trend of women wanting to give birth naturally & alone. This is increasing the likelihood that babies will be delivered with assists from ambulance workers, like from our son Brandon who is undergoing the EMT boot camp for Detroit where he’s been hired as an EMT/firefighter.
The title of the 1968 song, “Not to Touch the Earth”, by The Doors, came from a chapter heading of “The Golden Bough” by Sir James George Frazer. Frazer’s work weaves together popular fancies, ancient myths, exotic taboos, religious rituals, and cultural traditions from all around the world and shows how they interrelate. I vaguely recall there being something about giving birth naturally and alone…..
As a side note, The Golden Bough is available in a bunch of editions. Most people know it from an abridged edition, usually from 1959. The official Third Edition, 1906-1915, is twelve volumes and available online [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Golden_Bough ]. There are often rumors of a Fourth Edition in twenty-one volumes that may alter your hair color and lifespan.
Have to say I don’t approve that trend. Back in the good ole natural childbirth days before Obstetricians and hospitals – there were a lot more infant and maternal deaths. One OB in my family said birthing rooms were dangerous – that a delivery could turn into a nightmare in seconds and he wanted all his equipment and assistants at hand for all deliveries.
100%.
I wouldn’t advocate for secluded births — it is a time of great peril. But I wouldn’t think that the impulse is coming out of nowhere. If the pre-born are being dismembered by medical personnel for profit, it is only natural to shrink away from medical personnel for one’s birth.
My son training as an EMT is aware of an EMT who was called to a home birth situation being attended by a doula where the labor had been going on for 16 hours. Apparently he assisted in the delivery of a dead baby that was gray in color with the skin with folds & a strange appearance. The doula is an unlicensed person & doesn’t have the ability to assess whether the baby is living or not…anyway that EMT is being sued by the distraut mother of the dead baby. Had this happened in a hospital setting, if the baby was still alive during labor perhaps it could have been saved. Were the baby already deceased, as the condition of the body seems to suggest (to me), the lack of a heartbeat would prepare the mother for this loss. Waiting 16 hours, much of it which was very difficult, seems extremely long…
I agree with you in that I’d rather be close to help, should it become necessary. It would be nice if there were some type of in-between scenario though, like birthing rooms in hospitals where the mother & baby could be attended by a midwife &/or family &/or friends but fetal monitoring & the “best” of modern science & medicine was in quick & easy reach should the need for such interventions develop.
My daughter-in-law was complaining how hospitals force women to give birth on their backs which can lead to increased peritoneal tearing & prolong the labor & birth process…
As a father of a daughter who struggled for 3.5 hours of hard labor to deliver our first grandson naturally, who then needed a Caesarian to get him out of the birth canal, whose son has suffered much of his young life with the effects of that troubled delivery; I 1,000,000% endorse your post.
The Dyspraxia my grandson will now deal with for the rest of his life was a direct result of that trauma. The OB allowed our daughter to try to deliver for far too long, which she insisted on trying, and should have called it an emergency Caesarian delivery is the first 30 minutes. Our grandson was turned, had a larger head, and was stuck in the birth canal. It could have killed one or both of them. No amount of pushing was going to change that. Had she not been in a hospital setting that got her into surgery within minutes after she and the doc agreed to operate, it probably would have. I give thanks to the Lord for that.
She delivered her second son naturally without any issues at all 3.5 years later in the same hospital setting, but using a different doc.
I’m sorry that there was, & continues to be, so much suffering related to your daughter & grandson. So thankful for All of the gains your grandson has made recently, miraculously!
When my twins were born it’s quite likely that Josiah would have died had we not been in a hospital for he had an Apgar of 4 initially, though it was 9 at 5 minutes, thankfully.
Around the time my twins were born, mid ’90’s, there was another set of twins who were born in Northern Michigan (we lived Up North at that time) but did not survive. Had we not been downstate in Metro Detroit at a hospital facility prepared to deal with a high-risk pregnancy & delivery our outcomes may not have been so good either…
It’s a trend toward absolute stupidity, like so many other trends, converging on a singularity of insanity.
I found YOUR tie in here 😉
“The horror writer H. P. Lovecraft‘s understanding of religion was influenced by The Golden Bough,[15] and Lovecraft mentions the book in his short story “The Call of Cthulhu“.[16] “
16. Lovecraft, H. P.; Turner, James (1998). Tales of the Cthulhu Mythos. New York: Ballantine Books. p. 3. ISBN 0-345-42204-X.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Golden_Bough#cite_note-16
Heh.
The whole point of The Golden Bough is that tie-ins can be found everywhere.
If you look at Lovecraft, there are tie-ins; if you blank-out Lovecraft, there are tie-ins in Ovid’s Metamorphoses; if you blank-out Ovid, there are legends of Polynesia; if you blank-out Polynesia, there are tales among the Five Civilized Tribes….
I’ve mentioned before that the part of DNA that doesn’t code for proteins almost certainly contains firmware. The Golden Bough traces some of this firmware around the world.
Interesting. So you somewhat buy into his theories yes? I’m not familiar enough w/ him or his theories to have an opinion. I believe the Wikipoo article said he had influence on Jung so I would guess that his archetype theories were influence by the Golden Bough concepts, seeing repeated patterns through history…
Unless there is no other option or possibility, giving birth, alone, is insane.
Any woman who would attempt to do it purposefully, is mentally impaired to the point that she is literally a danger to herself and her baby, and ought to be dealt with as such to ensure the safety of both.
She may have a right to kill herself, though hopefully that too would be prevented.
But she has no right to kill her baby, and purposefully giving birth alone is beyond reckless endangerment.
………………….
Reckless Endangerment Law and Legal Definition
Reckless endangerment is a crime consisting of acts that create a substantial risk of serious physical injury to another person. The accused person isn’t required to intend the resulting or potential harm, but must have acted in a way that showed a disregard for the foreseeable consequences of the actions.
The charge may occur in various contexts, such as, among others, domestic cases, car accidents, construction site accidents, testing sites, domestic/child abuse situations, and hospital abuse. State laws and penalties vary, so local laws should be consulted.
………………….
Your opinion is noted.
“Your opinion is noted.”
___________
As always! 👍
If the reason someone is doing something is because it is a ‘trend’, and the ‘trend’ is manifestly dangerous to oneself and/or others, there are certainly other terms besides mentally impaired that would be applicable.
Even if the mother giving birth is an obstetrician, how smart is it to be your own doctor in that situation? Is that something a rational obstetrician would do?
If a rational obstetrician would not do something like that, then how rational is it for someone who is not an obstetrician to do something like that?
Considering all the potential medical issues that can go wrong during childbirth, endangering both the life of the mother and the child, if there is a rational argument for purposely giving birth alone, what is that argument?
Giving birth, or at least attempting to do so, alone Is foolish & reckless in my opinion. Even if a woman has safely delivered a child before that is not a predictor of how things might go in another birthing scenario. I would want a comfort person with me (had Hubby & my mom at all three labor & delivery situations) & chose hospital settings as a matter of course.
Given recent developments in medical tyranny I could understand someone being reluctant to surrender their autonomy at any level even in birthing. It’s a natural process that’s also a potential high risk situation given historical fetal /or maternal mortality sorrows.
People seem to lack common sense when it comes to social media peer pressurized stupidity, like the Tide Pods insanity…sigh…
🙏🙏🙏
TYSVM, TB ❤
appreciate those prayers so much–God Bless!

Please see the CDC vaccine schedules below for NEWBORNS TO AGE 6 YEARS.
A newborn child is given the 1st dose of the Hepatitis B vaccine JUST AFTER BIRTH (in other words, while still in the delivery room or just afterwards.)
Not telling you or your pregnant daughter what to do — but if your daughter does NOT want any vaccine given to her newborn child, IMO, she and the baby’s father must write this down, date it and sign it, make copies of it, and give a copy (NOT the original) to the hospital staff when your daughter goes to the hospital to give birth.
http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/schedules/easy-to-read/child-easyread.html
Sending prayers, Good Energy, and Deep Comfort to you, Tara, and the families involved.
Why go to a hospital? Pregnancy isn’t a disease.
Well, for starters, if there’s a chance that the child would be born in “breech presentation.” Then, there’s the stuff that can go wrong while the mother is in labor. One had much difficulty during her 25 hours labor to deliver her son and there were other issues too — none of which could have been taken care of in a home delivery.
So it’s the one exception controlling the rest?
One of my kids was breech about 8 months. The doctor manipulated the baby into turning to the correct position. I asked him how he knew how to do it and he said you just annoy the baby by repeatedly poking it and it will move away. Sooner or later the baby ends up in the correct position.
I don’t think it’s one exception (breech birth) controlling the rest, although IMO the physical structure of the mother may influence what goes on.
There are the other things that can go wrong during labor and the birth process itself. If something considered to be minor goes wrong during a home birth, and it can be taken care of successfully at home, great. However, if something goes wrong and it’s “call an ambulance” time, IMO that’s another matter.
What a blessing that that process worked so well for you & your baby. That’s not the way it works for everyone, sadly…
“Why go to a hospital? Pregnancy isn’t a disease.”
________
Very much agreed that pregnancy is not a disease, but a hospital has qualified medical personnel who are able to intervene in case of an unforeseen emergency during the birth.
Hopefully the doctor’s expertise is not needed.
But if it is, when seconds count, the doctor is only ten or fifteen minutes away.
If I had a heart condition, and my doctor wanted me to do a stress test, I could probably arrange to do it by myself at a local gym, or some clinic that is used for that purpose.
But considering the elevated potential for a cardiac arrest, it would be wiser to undergo the test in the immediate presence of a real live cardiologist (e.g., Dr. Justin Case, MD) and a resuscitation team.
IMO, of course! 😁
When my twins were born we were supposed to have 15 staff members, 5 for each baby & 5 for me in attendance. I was laboring in a room Directly across from the nurse’s station & was supposed to be moved later to a larger delivery room. Even so, when it came time to push, which I realized fairly suddenly, my mom told the nurses one of whom ran in & only had time to put on one glove to catch Brandon’s head. They had paged the doctor STAT & he arrived in time to watch Josiah emerge just one minute after B.
My hubby thought J was dead as he wasn’t moving & his color looked bad. In fact he only had an Apgar of 4 initially while B had an 8. They both were at 9 at 5 minutes. Hubby about passed out. It was intense!
Anyway, even with a complex plan there was only One staff person in the room when my twins came…not 15…Crap happens AND quickly!
I would evaluate that as an informed opinion.
It is very sad to think that some mothers-to-be see the world as so hostile that hiding away and giving birth alone seems like a good idea.
Well some of it sounded like a sort of Zen like thing, getting out into a beautiful natural setting & perhaps filming themselves giving birth in or near a secluded lake or something. It’s very bizarre to my way of thinking. I think younger people are becoming increasingly divorced from reality & lacking basic common sense!
It’s even more sad that nobody liked my Dr. Justin Case joke.
It cracks me up every time I read it 😂
Thank you RDS! DIL said that the hospital, same one where daughter is planning to deliver, required them to sign a paper for Heb B to accept it or reject it. In their case, which rejected it, she said there were no questions or other pressure.
I mentioned that I’d read Fauxi had been using Hep B vaccines to also give people AIDS & my oldest son had heard about that too…
In discussing Hep B, middle son (EMT/Fire Fighter in training) said he’d gotten such a shot a while back but had recently been tested for antibodies, & he had none. The nurse (?) who was discussing the antibody situation said if his body cleared the Hep B stuff before there was no reason to think that future shots would “take” so he should probably decline them.
I told him of my extreme concern about ALL shots going forward & strongly counseled him to decline any future “vaccines”. He thinks that he Might be pressured to take some shots being in the health care affiliated arena. He used a “religious exemption” to get out of covid shots for his firefighting schooling & was able to do clinicals at the one location that allowed “unvax’d” to work there. So far Detroit hasn’t put on any pressure, at least to him, but it’s an ongoing concern.
Thanks for sharing these details–Blessings!
Notable moments in the film include Professor Glenn Loury summarising the inevitable consequences of “affirmative action” and wildly varying standards of admission – which, it seems, mustn’t be acknowledged realistically – and Professor Wax’s comment about the race-grifting “equity” establishment, and its opposite – gratitude.

When You Get An Opening To Resist…
I think folks have had about as much as they can take of the PC Woke Crap… At least given recent reactions to the Bud Lite Fiasco…
Though I’d not forgive Anheuser Bush if they apologize.
Once the Left stop persecuting Trump, and restore Paula Deen (I love her cookware…) and all the rest, including Goya and anyone else “canceled”, and puts back the statues, then, maybe. Until then? Since conservatives apologies get no forgiveness, I’m going to “be the mirror” and not forgive woke crap either…
Seems like folks are past the “Breaking Point” on PC Crap being shoved into sports. And schools. And elsewhere too…
So shove PC Woke at folks, go broke… as fast as we can arrange it…
So, next time you see someone with a Bud Lite, ask them how they like Trans Beer compared to Real Beer? 😉
Trans Beer? Yeah, I think that’s going to be a thing 😉
I’m having a Sam Adam’s Boston Lager myself… Butt Lite? Just say Nooo!!!
https://chiefio.wordpress.com/
Is trans beer loaded with trans fats?
I think you crawled outside the box to think of that question. Curious minds never sleep. Science marches on.
It’s loaded with estrogen.
Everybody knows that.
Trans Beer.
It shrinks your nads.
Everybody knows.
Look into your local micro breweries. See where they stand before you buy.
I disagree with Tim on several points.
He says he doesn’t care if Jack Daniels associates their brand with adult drag show queens, making a distinction between the normalization of drag show queens and Dylan Mulvaney, who apparently is appealing to children.
I would argue that normalizing drag show queens, like all of the other sexual perversion, is harmful to society, and Jack Daniels should be rewarded with Going Out of Business.
Second, he says that if A-B makes an apology, he would go out and buy lots of Bud Light:
……………………….
Tim: “I personally will not be satisfied unless Anheuser-Busch issues a statement saying we denounce what Dylan Mulvaney represents the targeting of children, it is not what we are on board with, beer should not be marketed to Young People by this person, and we apologize for that.
[They] can crank it up a notch even further and say the ideology that has driven Dylan Mulvaney to to do these things, the algorithmic manipulation, we hereby reject and we apologize. Depends on the degree to which they are feeling the burn. Based on the viewership I’m seeing, I’m scared, I’m like dude, whoa, in 12 hours I got 600,000 views on one video being like ‘Hey look, it’s Kid Rock, you know he’s shooting up a bunch of Bud Light’, and people were real real pissed off at Bud Light, so if I’m seeing this, Bud Light must be reeling from it. Good job, boycott all of it.
I’ll tell you this, if Bud Light comes out and apologizes, the first thing I will do if Anheuser-Busch comes out and apologizes and says this was a mistake and we’ll never do it again, the first thing I will do is I will go out and I will buy a whole bunch, a whole bunch of Anheuser-Busch products.
And I will make a video with me and all my friends cheersing and saying thank you Anheuser-Busch, because I believe you have to give positive reinforcement. If Anheuser-Busch knows that no matter what they do you’ll never buy their product again, they’ll say all right, well we made our bed, we’re gonna go lie in it.
But if they know that if they apologize for this and fire Dylan Mulvaney, and say never again, if they know that we will all go out and buy tenfold Anheuser-Busch products, they’ll do it and that’s called a culture War Victory.
So I eagerly await your apology Budweiser, and the termination of your arrangement with Dylan Mulvaney, and if you do that I am going to go right down the link to the liquor store and I’m going to buy as much of your product as possible, because I want to make sure that my votes, my, my dollars are votes for things I agree with, and if Anheuser-Busch says we’re sorry it’ll never happen again and we’re firing Mulvaney, then they deserve to be rewarded for doing the right thing.”
……………………….
.
So by this thinking, A-B ends up being rewarded. In effect, they create a publicity stunt, and the barking seals bark their approval at an apology, and A-B comes out ahead in every way.
Which sends a message to every other corporation, that they should create similar outrage, and then make the obligatory apology, and reap the benefits. In this way, they can appease the lunatic Leftists who push tranny-everything, and benefit from the publicity, and increase sales.
Seems 1,000% better to increase the boycott exponentially, and make it PERMANENT. Put A-B out of business in America, let them peddle their woke BS in some other country.
That would send a signal the size of Mount Everest to Fink at Blackock and all the other Finkmeister wannabes, that if you pull this tranny crap or any other perversion, next comes your “Going Out of Business Sale”.
Maybe organize a nationwide shorting of A-B stock, have 50+ million people short it down to zero, as an exclamation point.
Let Anheuser-Busch be the warning to all the freaks in multinational corporate-land.
didn’t Redditters do something w/ either promoting something or shutting it down that made a pretty big splash at the time…I forget the scenario exactly…
I don’t know… I don’t know very much about Reddit!
