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!
We will always remember Wheatie,
Pray for Trump,
Yet have fun,
and HOLD ON when things get crazy!
We will follow the RULES of civility that Wheatie left for us:
Wheatie’s Rules:
- No food fights.
- No running with scissors.
- If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.
And while we engage in vigorous free speech, we will remember Wheatie’s advice on civility, non-violence, and site unity:
“We’re on the same side here so let’s not engage in friendly fire.”
“Let’s not give the odious Internet Censors a reason to shut down this precious haven that Wolf has created for us.”
If this site gets shut down, please remember various ways to get back in touch with the rest of the gang:
- Our backup site, The Q Tree 579486807, https://theqtree579486807.wordpress.com/
- Our old alternative site, The U Tree, where civility is not a requirement
- Our Gab Group, which is located at https://gab.com/groups/4178
- Our various sister sites, listed in the Blogroll in the sidebar
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.
Word of The Week:

Music time!
Beginning with some classical (your mileage may vary on the “sadness”)….
But check out these social media-driven “fiddle girls” – very interesting phenomenon!
To make it more commercial, just add some MTV….
So let’s finish with a string quartet of sorts!
AHHH – what the heck – I need some boy music. A song that cthulhu played Friday that takes me back. Mmmmmm, mmmmmm.
System Report
The system is back up, as of the writing of this post.
What a fight.
On the subject of “war is hell”, let the following video (set to Wheatie’s favorite music) be a reminder of why peace matters. (You have to go to the link – it’s pretty graphic.)
Wasn’t Gail saying something about Prussia? I seem to recall…..
As for the present….
Has the UFO propaganda got you scared? AS IF!
No, it has you bored and dismissive. Interesting psychology – isn’t it? So why did we get all of THIS stuff first?
Enjoy the epic music set to alien invasions – or something like that.
The plugin “nonce” problem got fixed, as well as some security issues.
The fact is, we’re dependent on “plugins” that are often weak links in WordPress security AND functionality. The team fixing our commenting system seems to be small and subject to competing duties.
But we will persist.
Keep fighting the good fight. We’re back.
ENJOY THE SHOW

— see, he’s not all bad…..
He misspelled “rancid putrescent bearded dragon shit”
I mean, c’mon, “GOO” isn’t even remotely an acronym for that, if that’s his excuse.
(Yay, comment edit works again!)
Yep. He’s worse even than Silly Putty or Green Slime…
Slime mold…
There are puppet-strings on Mitt that everyone ignores.
People were worried when JFK was elected that the Pope would control an American President. Yeah, ok, sure. Catholics respect the Pope, but clearly from the actions of so many Catholic politicians over the years, he isn’t running them.
But Mitt is immersed in another religion altogether. I dare anybody to get down deep in the weeds of his church and not be shocked, and probably disgusted, if you are at all really religious and conservative in your values. Because there is some creepy shit going on in there.
Question for Catholics: do you believe that the Pope daily speaks LITERALLY to God? As in, God shows up just like he did to Moses, and has a full-on convo with the Pope? Because that’s what the Mormons think happens with their guy. Now, if you believed your instructions came directly from God Almighty, not from studying the Bible or anything like that, but from the Voice of God speaking TODAY, what would you do?
If you think I’m wrong about this, go back and look at the stances of the Mormon church and how they have changed over time, at the “instruction” of God through their “President,” and how they reached their decisions. As an example, they once banned blacks from holding their priesthood:
“Indeed it is not known exactly when or why the ban was initially implemented, as no documentation which provides that information has ever been found, though it is known that it dates back well over a hundred years, originating at some point during Brigham Young’s administration. As for a cause, many look to the statement issued by the First Presidency, the top level of the LDS hierarchy, in 1949, which explained that the ban was a “direct commandment from the Lord” and cited “the conduct of spirits in the premortal existence” of black people. But in the absence of more than this, some blame the well-known and controversial “mark of Cain” or “curse of Ham” theology, which, for the record, was first used by Protestants to help justify slavery. (Early Protestant converts are possibly the ones who helped import these ideas into the Mormon church.) This, of course, refers to beliefs that the dark skin of Africans was the sign of descent from the line of Cain, the first biblical murderer, and Ham, Noah’s cursed son. These beliefs were sometimes cited by various Mormon members to help justify the priesthood ban—and no doubt some still subscribe to this belief today.”
https://historynewsnetwork.org/article/144798
Where did this “direct commandment” come from, exactly? I know. It came from Brigham Young’s so-called conversations with God. Which are, in my opinion, forgive me for saying, bullshit.
There are practices in this religion that disgust me, so I ask you to forgive my bluntness about it.
” God shows up just like he did to Moses”
So Moses was special?
Not defending the LDS beliefs, just questioning your premise…
Ummm, Ten Commandments?
I intended ‘special’ in that God spoke/speaks to no one else?
A question…
LDS consider Smith a prophet … a modern day saint.
Smearing an entire religion as ‘dangerous’ has nothing to do with the fact that Romney is a globalist.
That’s all … my opinion.
What of Mormons who might or not, read this blog?
The tenets on which that “religion” was founded are what are dangerous. Just like $cientology…..
AMEN! And again, AMEN!
And yet Scientology has valid parts – its detox protocol; its caution that ‘can’t have must have’ is a human impulse; etc.
The thing is, L. Ron Flubbard STOLE almost everything that the $cienos call “tech”. Be it from Eastern Religions (now termed “New Age”), or religious texts from various religions including Christianity and Judaism, with bits of Mohammedanism and Hinduism thrown in, very very little of what “Ron” wrote was truly his own.
And I’ve read quite a lot of it, and had, for instance, the entire PDC (Philadelphia Doctorate Course) (lol) on cassettes and most of the tech volumes, and the management courses.
Dumped a ton of money there. They take cruel advantage of book lovers… and everyone else, for that matter…
RIP Lisa McPherson…
You speak truth.
Ol’ L.Ron sure was a damn good con artist.
The science fiction community sure did think he was!
“If you want to make money start a religion” — L Ron
I would say anything I say here to a Mormon. I know some, and have before.
There are practices in the Mormon church that are manipulative and damaging. That’s my opinion, based on what I know. Manipulated people, as I consider Mitt Romney to be, are dangerous.
I do not know anything about Mormon Church.
I judge a church if there is love no love it is not a church to me.
Interesting topic. My boundaries rules are in Scripture .
Yes, I agree. The Bible is the rule book.
True 🙂
Also, I was not speaking of Joseph Smith, but of the “prophet” of the Mormon church today, currently one Russell Nelson. They think he speaks directly with God.
I speak directly to God; it’s called prayer.
He speaks directly to me by causing me to do right things when I might otherwise do wrong things.
I also speak directly to God. However, I don’t make new “rules” for an enormous number of people to follow, claiming that those rules come from Him.
This is one of those areas where I have too much personal knowledge that is very negative. So I am going to check out of this thread.
Before you go…it seems to be a fact that through thousands of years worth of religions the ones claiming that speak with God and that God tells them what others are supposed to do usually make lots of $$$.Afterall a spokesman for God’s wishes and decrees is super special and needs the new Cessna for minstering,the big mansion because that makes God happy and the adoring young females ( or males) to be special congregation “duties”…all /s but true
Too true. The modern “prophets” rarely seem to stay poor for long.
Like politicians.. I read that AOC is now worth millions. She’s only been on the scene a couple of years
Yes.
All in all, a very enlightening thread.
I have very mixed feelings about the LDS (now rebranded), so I tend to approach them from an attitude of religious liberty. I’m happy they’re able to freely make their religious errors, you might say! 😉
Well now, the Mormons are out to destroy Tim Ballard:
https://www.wnd.com/2023/09/breaking-family-tim-ballard-breaks-silence-sex-misconduct-claims/
I hope people understand I really don’t write the sometimes harsh stuff I do lightly. I understand I am pushing buttons, but some stuff has to be said, in my humble opinion.
Wow – that’s an absolute mess. Just add that the CIA has a deep relationship with the LDS, and it makes even more sense, but is radically more complicated. “Remember McMuffin.”
Amen
Well, he did dictate the first five books of the Bible. So there’s that.
What has that to do with my comment?
Sounds like a special deed to me, which would make him special.

Deep down, you’re just a literary arsonist. 😂
Seriously though, what are you trying to accomplish here?
It is my sincere belief that Mitt Romney is a manipulated person. Manipulated people are dangerous. Explaining the depth to which Mitt can’t be trusted is my goal. He’s not just your ordinary political ideologue. I agree with mollypitcher, Mormonism is as dangerous as Islam. And with Cuppa; the tenets the religion was founded on are dangerous.
And you are correct; I do like to set ideas/topics on fire, and watch them burn!
😜
With everclear as an accelerant 😆 🔥 ⚗ 🏕 🚜
You go, grill! 😉
Not to insult anyone with a current or past belief in Mormonism but it is a bit like islamism. The new LDS Mormonism has softened the early tenets but deep down in some vault they’re probably still revered.
To me this is how they’re alike.
Polygamy, separate isolated communities, they don’t have the 72 virgins but they count on their sisterwives up in heaven, a definite patriarchal set up (women are chattel and breeders) , the modesty clothing undergarments ( muzz use burqas ) and blood atonement Blood atonement – Wikipedia
Blood atonement is a disputed doctrine in the history of Mormonism, under which the atonement of Jesus does not redeem an eternal sin. To atone for an eternal sin, the sinner should be killed in a way that allows his blood to be shed upon the ground as a sacrificial offering, so he does not become a son of perdition.
For the record, I’ve been associated with a host of religions including studying with some of the Mormon guys doing the mission work.
Everybody always believes their church is the right one so no diss to any individual reading here.
Sigh. I always thought so too, until my Presbyterian church…across from Trump Tower…put a picture of George Floyd on the cover of their quarterly magazine.
I realized right there and then that they took out our beloved paster for 15 years, under a supposed affair, and inserted themselves. All left-wingers.
I give them cents on the dollar in case I find one other Presbyterian church who has a true belief. Have not found one yet.
I am Presbyterian Elder and the church left me.
instigation (n.)
I picture someone poking someone else with a stick. That’s figuratively what happened on J6, and maybe literally, in some cases.

Would you believe these go back to 2015?
Yes, like that!
Thank you, thank you Wolfie …
for getting resolution to the problem(s) … whatever they were.
You have spoiled us here… we really had trouble dealing with the ‘old way of doing things.
Question: all these bells and whistles … surely they cost more than plain old WP…
I and many others would be more than happy to help defray those costs.
We need more discussion on this guys.
Even $5 a month that a few sites ask for is no biggie for each of us (they call it ‘buy me a coffee’) and it would be helpful to you,.. a simple gesture to show how much we appreciate you.
This has been attempted before, but Wolf wasn’t of a mind to risk any bit of his anonymity. If someone wins the lottery, they should try it with, say, $10K — and see if that plan has legs.
Thanks for the info … Coothie.
Well, I’m sending you a virtual hug Wolfie … I know those work 😉
Thanks for all that you do.
You can’t get close enough for a hug. He’s a ‘fraidy cat.
He won’t even log in here.
He’s an enigma, swallowed up in a riddle, and wrapped in a puzzle. He’s weird but he’s kin. 😂 😍
For the record – this is not directed to our esteemed host.
Virtual hugs are gladly accepted! That’s more than enough! 💖 😄
😘😍💕
🤓
The reason I know anything about it is that I also wanted to help. When he explained it to me, as one paranoid to another, I understood that small contributions weren’t going to happen.
I echo your thanks and also wondered if there has been added cost.
WordPress is FOSS. Hosting costs by bandwidth and storage space (and features). The commenting upgrade didn’t cost so much — Wolf disclosed it when he bought it and it was about $200.
That’s about right!
I am using my “former government church” tithing money to fund this site. This is my church now. I consider myself the sexton, and Carl is the head pastor / priest. I should actually tithe more, so I won’t even consider taking other people’s money until I am paying what I really should be paying!
I think God counts blood, sweat and tears as part of the tithe! And you are WAY over your quota there!
That is good to know because Information is all I can afford to contribute!
Otherwise spare dollars are headed towards POTUS Trump’s re-election!
🙂
Your information IS Gold!!! 💪 💋👏
AMEN!!!

And duchess brings the daily devotional.
And yes she does! That is a critical part of this church!
I encourage everybody to bring as much religion or religious discussion here as they wish – every day of the week.
Gavin Newsom is calling for a Constitutional convention to pass a 28th amendment that would contain gun control laws. It’s ridiculously called the Right to Safety Amendment. Thank goodness our founding fathers knew that there is no *right* to safety. Newsom should be endlessly ridiculed for this.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/gov-gavin-newsom-officially-calls-for-convention-to-change-us-constitution/ar-AA1gMOHe
It says something that he isn’t trying it with the method that successfully passed the first 27 amendments…..
Article V Convention Legislation filed in Congress shows how Applications will be counted: it’s not what Lobbyists promised you
It would seem that altering the form of government would be the primary reason for a constitutional convention. I would imagine anytime such a convention would be considered, by definition, perilous times. The founders may have included it expressly for a civil war aftermath.
The problem is most people think an Article V convention is for AMENDING the current Constitution when in reality is is for REWRITING and REPLACING our current Constitution.
Mark Levin’s support for an Article V convention is why I will NEVER TRUST HIM.
If there was ANYBODY fighting for our side, and I mean ANYBODY, they would propose a laundry list of Constitutional Dream Amendments, the most pro-American / Freedom and anti-Leftist Amendments imaginable.
Thank Gruesome very much for opening the door, and then make them cry forever:
Outlaw all ‘protected-classes’ and the entire concept of a ‘protected-class’.
Outlaw gay marriage.
Outlaw islam, revoke citizenship and deport anyone who won’t renounce it.
Define and outlaw communism.
Outlaw the FIB.
Define and outlaw fascism.
Define and outlaw Alinskyism.
Outlaw the Democrat and Republican parties, as the Germans outlawed the Nazi party after WWII.
Outlaw NICS, ATF and every gun control act.
Outlaw DHS.
Clarify the 2nd Amendment to include any weapon or weapon system that can be carried, mounted, driven or flown.
Outlaw gov’t control of the military, military reports directly to private citizen representatives who are chosen by lottery (like jury duty) and rotate every 30 days. Gov’t retains control over generals and admirals, who make their case to the private citizen representatives. Any time the gov’t threatens the interests of the People or the Constitution, the military removes that threat with extreme prejudice at the direction of the People.
Outlaw Big Pharma and break up all the conglomerates and monopolies.
Outlaw Satanism.
Outlaw the military industrial complex.
Outlaw grooming.
Outlaw the CIA.
Outlaw tranny everything.
Revoke and outlaw the Patriot Act.
Fix the Commerce Clause.
Outlaw ‘corporations are people’ bull&^%$.
Outlaw lobbying.
Outlaw charities.
Outlaw ‘foundations’, slush funds and every other loophole and every other money laundering and bribery work-around.
Outlaw everything in gov’t that is not explicitly authorized in the Constitution.
Scrap the entire legal code, all 50 trillion billion pages of it, and return to Common Law that our nation was founded on.
Outlaw the FIB (again).
Outlaw the IRS and income tax and sales tax and inheritance tax and property tax.
Outlaw tax, period.
Outlaw homosexual conduct.
Outlaw internet porn.
Outlaw the CIA (again).
Break up Big Tech monopolies every 2 years, or sooner if necessary.
Break up the fake-news monopolies.
Outlaw immunity for all drug companies, gov’t and law enforcement.

Outlaw gov’t funding for anything that gives gov’t financial control over anything or anyone.
Outlaw all of the climate BS and carbon-credit BS and “green” BS.
Make English the official language in America.
Outlaw ESG, DEI and every other such control scheme.
Make manipulation of the futures markets and stock markets a death penalty mandatory crime.
Outlaw gov’t surveillance or tracking of any kind on the public.
Outlaw private company surveillance / tracking of any kind, online or anywhere else.
Cops protect and serve the People, or they don’t get a paycheck, and the (not)Supreme Court can stuff it.
Outlaw CFR, WEF, WHO, U.N. and every other NGO and bogus ‘think tank’ that violates the sovereignty of nations.
Blacks have 90 days to get their own population under control and obey the same laws everyone else does, or the majority population will do it for them. Period. STFU. They’re only 12% of the population, and they commit the majority of the violent crime. They can be a lot less than 12% of the population if they choose not to obey the same laws everyone else does. Free one-way plane tickets to Africa. Sayonara. Bon voyage. Arrivederci. Hasta la vista, baby.
The United States military guards the borders, with authorization to shoot any politician who tries to stop them.
Washington D.C. is razed to the ground and turned into a park. The east coast forfeits any control over the direction of the nation, as does the Left coast. Never again. The capital will be relocated elsewhere.
Congress is only in session for however many days as they were in colonial times. Senators and congressmen spend ALL of the rest of their time at HOME.
Any public servant who accumulates more money than can be accounted for by his salary and private investments is prosecuted for corruption.
Reduce the size of federal, state and local gov’t by at least 90%.
Outlaw billionaires on account of the fact that they are a threat to humanity. If $999 million isn’t enough for you, then buy a rocket ship and find your own planet. Tyranny of the Oligarchs ENDS.
That’s just a warm up.
.
Most of that is not the business of the Federal government in the first place.
Myself, I would like to see the consequences of ill-behavior rest on someone other than the citizenry.
For example, let’s say a budget is passed with revenues of $3.3T and expenditures of $4.4T. That’s a deficit of $1.1T, or about 33%. Further, let’s say that this passed with the votes of 220 Representatives and 60 Senators.
It might be reasonable to have one Legislator sacrificed for every 10% budget deficit. The 380 Legislators that voted for this abomination should have their names put in a vessel, and three pulled out. Those three should have their hearts cut out at the top of the Capitol steps, their blood spread upon the steps, and their bodies pulled down to the Mall and abandoned to nature.
A Balanced-Budget Amendment would be unnecessary in such circumstances — not only would the majority in favor of such spending decline rapidly over time, but the special-interests in favor of such deficits would find themselves aligned AGAINST the legislature.
Mind you, I’d also favor the sacrifice of one Senator and one Representative at the beginning of every calendar year, just for giggles…..

Back on the farm we all knew it best to leave alone the ground where the outhouse used to be.
Well … now it’s clear why you’re not allowed to comment on any other blogs.
I’m just sayin’ that if the Left wants to pussyfoot around with tactics like proposing Amendments to the Constitution to eliminate the 2nd Amendment, if they want to use that as part of their psy-op to ‘trigger’ us and demoralize us…
We have 10,000 more arrows to shoot than they ever will have.
So let’s go Gruesome, you *&^%ing treasonous bastard *&^$wad.
No R-con should be giving an inch, he should be firing both barrels with an auto-loader.
This.
Before seeing your post, started my own.
Beating on DOJ, FIB, ATF, HLS, IRS, ATF…
Then saw your post. Nicely done.
It was just off the top of my head, rattling each one off in no particular order as it came to me.
Imagine what we could come up with, if we put some time and effort into it… 😂
Top of your head reminded me of Kanamits
I can’t see it, I’ll have to check it later when I turn off my VPN.
It was never an issue until just recently.
Big Tech must be trying to compartmentalize the web, or discourage VPN use.
Or both.
Probably both.
Definitely both.
I searched “Kanamits”, guessing it’s a clip of the Twilight Zone episode, “To Serve Man”?
Yep.
We cannot let that happen. I heard yesterday that we move to illegal rebellion the closer we get to election. The illegals are getting angry. They will riot.
no surprise letting fighting age young men in no work.
Thank a liberal. The Kumbaya class of greedy political half wits are clueless to what they’ve done by swinging open the gates of our southern border, but in all likely hood will feel the effects first as they find themselves turned out of office by the invaders as entitlements dry up.
Yes you are right. Having all those military age men running around is a disaster. Rape will go up breaking and entering stealing in stores on the streets. When they get angry and hungry and live through a winter the hell will break loose. I did not even want to contemplate what all could happen. They will be ruthless.
Sounds like Newsom is launching his bid to be the fearless leader. That pronouncement has the oligarchs and the communist salivating.
I had the same thought. IMO it’s an idiotic proposal (par for the leftist course), and I don’t think he could muster enough support even on the Left to put in the effort to try to get it passed. People are dealing with too many other problems. And no one in their right mind thinks such a thing would come to fruition. So if it’s presidential posturing, it’s too desperate to help him, IMO.
I think its primary focus is to open the faucet for campaign contributions. It has a secondary goal of building his core base from which he may harvest volunteers and more money. It should be effective in his circles. Rush said money is the mother’s milk of politics. The second axiom must surely be divide the flock into us vs them. The third is remember my name.
And the way to STOP this new behavior of the Crims is to propose 50 radical anti-Leftist Amendments every time they propose ONE.
Pull the pin on the grenade and throw it in their bunker already.
When the R-Cons hem and haw like always, have people at every press conference to help expose them.
If Jim Jordan comes to the microphone and starts doing the patented R-Con Helpless Shuffle & Stammer routine, ask him straight up:
What’s the matter Jimmy, is your p*ssy sore?
Do you need to see a gynecologist?
Can any of the other ladies here recommend a gynecologist for Jimmy? His p*ssy is really sore.
Shame and humiliate these traitors.
THAT will get NATIONAL attention, it will go viral on every social media platform, and that means it will get the R-Con’s attention.
Not that they’ll do anything, but it will serve to expose them utterly as feckless enemy collaborators to the entire nation.
You are so mean to these pussified wimps.
I’m trying… 😂
The longer their conduct goes uncorrected, the harsher the punishment will need to be.
If the pendulum ever actually starts going the other direction (a false claim if I’ve ever heard one), I’m going to strap an ACME rocket to it.
Um you know that Wily E always got splattered when he used acme products..better order an amazon basics
Amazon crapola is made in chyna.
ACME is made in America.
As I recall, there was never a problem with the ACME products themselves.
The problem was always with Wile E.’s implementation 😂
Details schmetails.
Blatant Truth right there!!!
I just saw Cramer last night on a clip from whatever business channel he’s on.
He said the big 3 auto companies could relocate to Mexico and be up and running again in 2 years.
Cheap labor, no union, no regulations, no healthcare provided by employer, etc. The other hosts appeared stunned 😂
Unions are on government life support, but neither government nor the unions are as useful to the other as previously the case.
Most of my 1982 Dodge was made in Mexico so there is that.
You know what makes me sick? That people in some damned union or other are such SHEEP that they would vote for whom they are TOLD!
Are you shitting me?
I would guess that the idea for the UAW to come up with demands that can’t possibly be met without forcing all major car makers into bankruptcy is straight from Hussein, it’s just the corporate version of lawfare to wipe out the auto industry as part of the insane climate cult push for green everything.
They see that the big car makers are not really transitioning, and to the extent that they are, they’ll never catch up with Tesla.
In the meantime, they keep churning out regular gas internal combustion engine cars by the millions, and according to the religion of the insane Left, that has to stop.
What better way to stop it, when you control the UAW, than to put the whole industry out of business with a literally impossible set of demands?
If the auto makers accept your demands, they go out of business.
If the auto makers reject your demands, they go out of business.
Win-win.
Yup. The radical Crims will destroy their own on demand by Davos.
This parent has had enough. People are saying this is fake. I wish it were real.

Alas, we’ll take what we get. Opportunities’ in fighting evil abound in the age of Obama & Biden, (Might as well name it now – the Obin Age).
They still use leeches today.
For example, if someone has a major collapse in blood circulation, they’ll pump blood into his body and attach leeches to his extremities (fingertips, toes). This can save the extremities from later amputation when the cause of the circulation collapse is remedied.
Brilliant!
Looks like Ben is doing well. Unless he had a few toons stashed away.

Too quiet….

The tweet which won’t c/p states that zelensky is to visit Washington.

He’s going to New York to speak/beg at the UN… not sure if DC is on his itinerary, but he’ll probably draw a line or two and give some to the big guy… sneeze…
When it gets quiet, my mind starts to wander…..
^^^ Fascinating. <<< An understatement.
I’m a minute and a half in.
Wow. Because we seem to have problems with our theory of galaxy formation, the big bang must not have happened?
Really?
The evidence for the Big Bang is from several different lines of observation, and is overwhelming.
When galaxies formed, and even the exact timing of the Big Bang, are comparativiely speaking, details. We had a theory…well really a hypothesis… f galaxy formation, but until now no way to check it. Now we have a way to check it, and yes, it has problems.
That’s normal science at work.
But that doesn’t invalidate the concept of the Big Bang. We’ll likely have to adjust our understanding of it, some, too.
Keep watching!
*sigh* where do I begin?
At 10 minutes the narrator (whose frequent pauses in inappropriate places was really offputting) asserts that we thought all planetary orbits were fixed and rigid. Uh, that’s just factually incorrect; we understood that they could be perturbed; in fact that’s how we discovered Neptune and we had also seen (unexplained until Einstein) issues with Mercury’s orbit. In fact we knew that any system of more than two bodies was liable to be computationally intractable–hard to predict in advance. Interestingly, though, his confusion just betrays his lack of comprehension of what “deterministic” means. It doesn’t mean we can calculate it, it does mean that specific conditions today will lead to a specific set of conditions tomorrow. Although there are aspects of physics that call determinism into question, relativity isn’t one of them. (It’s deterministic, but it’s not deterministic in a way we would find intuitive–things in strong gravitational fields and things moving close to the speed of light behave…oddly from our point of view, but still, deterministically.)
Later on he asserts a false dilemma. Either the universe has existed eternally (in which case, by the way, you can chuck Genesis out the window), or it’s just a lot older than we currently think it is. He ignores the third alternative, which I think is the most likely of the three: We just don’t understand how galaxies form. (There is also AND logic here: the universe could be somewhat older than we think AND we might not understand galaxy formation.) As I tried to explain in my prior reply, the purpose of looking was to check our hypotheses as to how galaxies formed! OK, so if this pans out they go back to the drawing board. It wouldn’t be the first time, or the thousandth time. Science as we know it today is built on the debris of mountains of theories that didn’t stand up to test. We don’t hear about them that much of course because once we know they’re wrong there’s no point in rehashing them!
I also found it interesting that he used the big bang theory to argue that the big bang theory is wrong. His assertion that higher redshifts are from galaxies further away and therefore further back in the past…is, as far as we can tell, true, but it’s also a strong piece of evidence for the big bang (it by itself didn’t eliminate other possibilities, but other lines of evidence did).
One last gripe–very minor–is that in the narration he sometimes just mentions “quantities.” Quantities of what? It’d be like me just mentioning “bags” without discussing what they are bags of. I think I know what he means by that, but can’t be sure, so it’s effectively a scrap of word salad.
What we actually have is facts that don’t fit in with our best ideas as to what is going on. That could lead a number of different directions; we have a relatively solid Big Bang theory with multiple lines of evidence supporting it, and a less-solid (never been tested; this actually is the test) theory of galaxy formation. This video seems to assume that the galaxy formation theory is more solid than the big bang and thus calls it into question; it’s really the other way around.
Thank you!
Appreciate the clarification.
Thank you for the review 👍
Since it is a recent video on recent discoveries of the Webb telescope, I didn’t expect it to be so riddled with error / misconception.
But I knew where to bring it, and who to show it to, to find out 👍😁
The source is interesting, and looks to me like a kind of “clickbait astronomy” which is magnifying minor conflict as a model to get attention.
They do a similar thing here, riding on the “scare” that there could be life on Proxima B.
This guy says something similar to what you’re saying – that the models of early galaxy formation are being revisited, and seem to be able to accommodate the findings with a bit of adjustment.
I wish he would have given more detail, but no.
When I was first taught about the Big Bang theory as a child, it disappointed me. LOL
Douglas Adams is convinced that the universe will end in a Gnab Gib… 🙂
Yup. That’s the way they are.
Love it! TOO TRUE.

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

You Can’t Make This Up: Doctors Are Now Struggling to Differentiate Between Covid, Allergies, and Common Cold – ‘We Only Knew It Was Covid Because We Tested’

Good grief, anyone who has allergies can tell the difference!

Good grief, If it is on auto pilot it is flying in a straight line. Weather reports would give wind direction and speed if that is a factor. They should KNOW the range given the amount of fuel.
So use some MATH and do the darn calculations. 🙄
“Math is hard.”

Brilliant comments there, some insightful, some insider… many excoriating “thilley Milley” and the “new woke military”… and its high-heeled boys, er, beings, er, wokians…
And then, on a ghostriders-type theme,
“They say on a moonless night you can hear the faint sound of afterburners.” 👻
“… and its high-heeled boys,”

And the thing that disturbs you
Is only the sound

High Heeled boys…
Maybe he did not loose it ?
Yep. Some highlights (lowlights?)(Bud Lites?)…
South Carolina oyster farmer took control of a F-35 with this one trick.
Lol. How do you lose $2.3T? The Pentagon are experts at making extremely valuable assets disappear.
Premature ejection.
and then a voice approaching reason
I’m sorry. Even the US military can’t be this incompetent. There’s something else more deeply sinister going on here. Either:
1). There’s a false flag brewing somewhere and this plane is part of it
2). The plane has been shot down in a very different location (Ukraine? Syria? Iran?)
I have no idea if the Marines fly the F35 solo or if there are multiple planes flying in formation. If it’s the latter, surely another plane in the formation would have visual on the abandoned plane.
“How Do You Lose An F-35?”: US Military Can’t Find Stealth Jet After “Mishap”
…How in the hell do you lose your way on a podium and end up in the bushes?
…The Bushes have been controlling Biden all along.
save your Dixie cups boys and girls the South will rise again
All we need is a F-35 key fob. We can walk around Charleston clicking the unlock button and listen for the Beep-Beep
How in hell do you lose something THAT large painted in rainbow colors and wearing a large Target tuck swimming suit, with Bud Lite painted on the side!??
..Don’t worry, it will turn up in Ukraine.
One of the principle part suppliers of the F-35 program, Harbor Freight, said the 14-day warranty on its parts had expired and it would take no responsibility for the crash.
So essentially it means they are building UAVs from F-35 and in this case it lost control. Never mind the fake ejection.
..Or…the Chinese can remotely disable critical aircraft components.
..The F-35 uses chinese washing machine chips?
..But at least your flight suit comes out whiter than white
(GENXXXL) Did you have the “Find My Jet” feature turned on?
..Not enough memory for the app to be installed? Running on the wrong IOS?
My guess is it was lost in Ukraine. This story here is totally unbelievable
And, finally:
This just in: the missing F-35 has just been found by hunters outside of Charleston in a densely wooded area between two hills, in front of a single wide. It was found up on concrete blocks parked next to a 1978 pick up truck with a washing machine under one wing and a refrigerator under the other. The owner of the property had been renting the plane out as an extra room for his two cousins, who had recently married.
Officials from the Air Force declined to comment on the condition of the plane but they stated the possibility of retrieving this aircraft may be delayed as they were concerned the craft may have been exposed to unknown substances and part of it had been used as a still.
Did pilots in the area hear Mexican fiesta music on the radio, before the disappearance?
Could have been a tractor beam from Mexican space aliens.
I had no idea how to find that specific Mexican music. No idea what it was called, or if it even had a name.
So I went to youtube, and in the search box I typed:
mexican la ta da da da da da da da da
And it worked!
It’s called The Mexican Hat Dance.
It was the first search result! 😂🤣😂
And now you’re a fervent supporter of Artificial Intelligence.
Right?
Yep.
The Mexican Hat Dance was the difference maker for me, now I’m all in 👍😂

That’s quite a formula you got there. 😂
I like to start with a back-of-the-napkin calculation, wait for them to complain, and then really crunch the numbers for maximum pain 😉
And the last part of what I said didn’t really come out right.
What I meant is “With a hard limit on law licenses to not exceed the number of lawyers per capita that existed in the United States in 1900, or less than whichever country has the lowest number of lawyers per capita in the world — whichever number is lower.”

Yup. Weak Sauce Jenna is weak.
Jenna who? Piss on her.

IMO, Ms. Ellis has always been “iffy” or “wishy-washy” in support of POTUS45 anyway. At least she’s now finally showing what she is — a DeepState Bushite.

Positively guilty AND content with it. 
Wow. Change “political” to “medical” and it applies to the TRANS and COVID things, too.
Assuming there is a difference please comment on the following question. What is the difference between a revolutionary and a reactionary? I am assuming a context of politics or custom. This is not a test, it is a solicitation of viewpoints.
I will offer my own speculation without referring to a dictionary. A revolutionary is someone who presents a new way of contextualizing a previously accepted approach to an issue. A reactionary is someone who rejects tinkering with tradition or the customary. One reason for such a position might be the law of unintended consequences.
A revolutionary wants and supports change and a reactionary resists change strongly.
So a revolutionary reactionary is someone who strongly resists all the radical changes, and wants to change it all back to the way it was 👍😁
Total guess, is a revolutionary a reactionary some years down the line who has decided change will not come any other way.
A reactionary reacts in response to events that are happening. A revolutionary has a broader goal of not just reacting, but changing the existing structure into a different one. So while the actions of both might look similar initially, the revolutionary’s actions are a means to an end in their bigger plan.
I like that point of view. A revolutionary has a plan while a reactionary has a response. Simple but elegant.
Nicely stated!
Reactionaries can have plans, too. Just sayin’! 😉
A revolutionary wants to sacrifice the present for his dream of the future.
A reactionary wants to sacrifice the present for his dream of the past.
I see a corollary to your comment that also may be true.
A revolutionary is willing to sacrifice the past for his dream of the future.
A reactionary is willing to sacrifice the future for his dream of the past.

Seems my Personal Troll struck again. Given it was an early morning comment and there are 141 comments, it would seem someone is hunting for my comments.
I put up a comment on Dr Deming, the Japanese, Quality and cars and got down voted.
🙄 I would have thought it was a very neutral but informative comment.
At this point there are so many useless comments on Badlands it is getting to the point it is not worth commenting.
Two, likes and counting. 🙂
THANKS! 🤓
3 likes now (including mine 👍) 😁
Actually it would be four. Gail was at 0 when I got there which means someone got in there and gave her a like and erasing the troll before I arrived.
I hate the sound of that…stay safe, stay anonymous! Trolls, bots and AI are a scourge
I have had my very own personal troll following me from blog to blog for a decade. I warned Wolfie about him when I joined. At one point he had a link to his web page. He was a software contractor for banks.
I knew he was paid because his comments were always within the 8:00 am to 5:00 pm time period.
haha that you figured that out. Bankster gangster enabler !
I abandoned a blog due to a troll, I don’t remember which one at the moment.
“I abandoned a blog due to a troll,”
____________
I have defeated lots of trolls on blogs.
People said “don’t feed the trolls”, but that never made sense to me, if I could destroy them — which I was pretty sure I could. I didn’t see any good reason why I couldn’t. I watched other people engage with trolls, and they always seemed to do it wrong. Like they didn’t understand how to deal with it, so they gave up and encouraged everybody else to give up and ignore the troll too.
That never really works. The troll just keeps trolling, and sooner or later somebody snaps, and it’s on again 😂
Since there is no referee to declare a winner, the way to defeat a troll is to either mock him to the point that all the other posters are laughing at him, so he retires from the engagement, or you destroy his argument/position so completely with verifiable facts and logic that if he responds again, it will only make him look worse — if there is nothing he can say that won’t dig his own hole deeper, he has no choice but to disengage.
You’re still there, and the troll isn’t, so you win.
So that’s what I did, on Townhall.com, in the early 2000s. Some troll bully was pushing people around in the comments section. He was lame, the kind of thing I would have destroyed in person, any day of the week. But the other people there didn’t know how to respond. They didn’t see any of the obvious comebacks / retorts.
So I took him on and destroyed him, and it was fun!
I was hooked 😂
The troll was terrible at the game. Most trolls are terrible at it. They’re just bullies, they can’t back up squat when you take them on. They can’t do ‘improv’ on the spot, their arguments are full of easily exploitable holes, and the facts are almost never on their side.
After the troll left, some other person, who I thought was being a smartass, said I was a “Troll Hammer”, so I attacked him next.
Then he said No no no, I’m on your side, I’m a moderator, Troll Hammer is a compliment!
So I let him go… 😁
Would you have felt better if he called you the Troll Screwdriver?
It didn’t even occur to me at the time what a ‘Troll Hammer’ might be, I just reacted to the word ‘troll’ and started swingin’ 😂
Scot, dealing with my troll is the reason I ALWAYS back up my comments with facts. It did not discourage him, however he did get lambasted by several commenters at one point. It was glorious.
Such a hothead!
Which is, of course, one of my favorite things about you!
😉😁
Is that a troll and orange juice over ice?
I like the friendly moderator solution that can give trolls the boot.
Badlands is becoming aptly named…

Thought that this was really good.
This quote is 100% true.
” The lie is never the point, it’s what the lie gets you to believe: that is always the point.”
Sometimes we get so hung up on the lie or at times, partial truth, that we hash out the minutia and miss the whole reason that it was done
The first part was good but I disagree with his points on Covid. I see it as ‘disinformation’ because if Covid was just the flu then it was NOT a bio-weapon used to kill and sterilize people.
He COMPLETELY misses the point that Covid was developed by a collaboration between Ralph Baric of UNC and the Bat Lady of Wuhan AS A BIO-WEAPON
That is why the argument is the ‘limited Hangout of:
“… arguing whether the COVID virus came from a lab or a pangolin…”
He also uses the strawman of the CDC using a “𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘂𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝗶𝗺𝘂𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻” early on for the virus since the Chinese had wiped the data.
And they DID have the sequence:
Before he retracted the statement (think FauXi) David Baltimore Cal Institute of Tech said:
Jan, 20 2020:
Uncanny similarity of unique inserts in the 2019-nCoV spike protein to HIV-1 gp120 and Gag
The authors were viciously harassed and it is now labeled as Withdrawn.
After that another set of researchers, this time in France published a paper:

I got a very nasty ‘flu’ in 2018 a week after being less than 1000 ft from Ralph Baric’s lab.Shortly there after I had the first ‘asthma attack’ of my live and was stuck with low O2 levels for a year and a 1/2 until my encounter with moxidectin and goat spit.
The symptoms I had line up very well with Dr. Shankara Chetty description: Severe Covid Illness Is Due to An Allergic reaction to the Spike Protein…
And my sense of smell/taste has STILL not returned to normal.
Excellent stuff.
Made me realize that the “limited hangout” is so effective, that one can talk about it and it STILL WORKS.

A great line by an NFL referee. 😅
The one I always remember must have been 20+ years ago.
I was watching the game live, and there was a personal foul on the play. The ref went to make the call and said “Personal foul, giving him the business“, and made some motion with his arm, like he was digging his elbow into someone, or something.
I busted out laughing, WTH is ‘giving him the business’?
There’s no penalty in football called ‘giving him the business‘ 😂
I tried to find it just now, and unless other refs have used the same term, I think this is the one:

Key changes in machine tool consumption affected global patterns of production. Until the mid-2000s, China accounted for no more than 15% of global machine tool consumption. By 2011, China’s machine tool consumption accounted for 40% of the global total.45 As its need for machine tools increased, China leveraged its low cost of capital and labor to build domestic machine tool factories and required foreign companies to execute joint ventures to access the Chinese market. The combined effects of the 2008 recession and a general trend of industry consolidation further reduced the number of machine tool manufacturers. In 2015, China’s global machine tool production skyrocketed to $24.7B,46 accounting for 28% of global production,47 while the U.S. accounted for only $4.6B, after China, Japan, Germany, Italy, and South Korea.
That’s what the West gave away with all these trade treaties and arrangements. Not only have we lost the ability to make things, we’ve lost the ability to make the things that make things.
Just heard some big planes flying low, must be searching for the F35.
They have their best men on it.
Top men 👍
That’s good but makes me wonder if they did some calculating and thought it could be in this vicinity…gulp. Maybe missed us by …how much !!!!???
Probably in the ocean
Yes … in the ocean also my guess …
Or a chop shop 👍😉
In Ukraine…
Molly,
Now we hear Pentagon has grounded F-35 aircraft both inside and outside the US.

and remember when they lost a H-bomb?

Who knows…they have to look like it was the jet’s fault !
They had to make sure the cupholders go both ways…
Great scene.
The only kind Clint does 😁
Maybe somebody should call Maverick and the Goose’s kid. They’d find it.
Interesting tweet from Elon Musk on the blacks who thought it would be fun to murder a white bicyclist the other day, just for the sheer joy of doing it.
Guy lived his whole life to that point, and then riding along, minding his own business, without any warning, gets run over from behind by a couple of laughing black people.
Black people were never treated like this by anyone, NEVER, as in NOT EVER.
Where is the WHITE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT?!?
.
Thinking Elon reads QTree.
IIRC, perhaps Scott, posted a like sentiment (factoid) yesterday.
“Thinking Elon reads QTree.”
_________
That would be pretty amazing 👍😁
Seems like the “added context” added nothing…
Exactly. “Bike crash” = “hit and run by protected class”.
It was only later that it was revealed to be a “murderously intentional hit and run”.
Elon’s flat out wrong. A decade or so ago, two white guys in Texas tied a black guy to the back of a pickup truck and dragged him for miles until his head came off.
They were laughing about it during the incident IIRC.
I was flat out wrong, the text above the tweet is mine. I figured I must be, but if I was, I figured someone would come up with an example.
So what happened to those two guys in Texas?
Was there any media uproar?
Are the two guys who did it still on the loose?
Did they receive the same treatment these two guys who ran down the bicyclist are getting?
So there is one example.
We should make a list of white against black violence, and black against white violence, and compare lists.
I won’t have to work hard to make mine, black violence against whites is all over the Internet, including live video on youtube and tweeter 👍
Two black guys will likely walk as soon as they turn 18. This is why we were saying this was likely some kind of sanctioned hit on the retired police chief as suggested from the that tweet yesterday.
Was hoping Dinah had it but all I could find was this….
Pretty cool but not it…
So went back to yesterday’s page and found it…

He wasn’t exactly a “retired cop”. He was a retired chief of police.
Looking around the country, I don’t see ANY chief of police on the side of the people. This guy was taken out by his own side.
The memumnum guy is gone! Erased from the net…and shockingly from my history….and I distinctly remember reviewing his long list of posts that read like veteran qanon type. had lots of good stuff but is now gone, gone, gone.
They were arrested and convicted of murder one.
I think they’re on death row in Texas.
“They were arrested and convicted of murder one.
I think they’re on death row in Texas.”
______________
That’s what I figured.
What are the chances there will be equal justice under law in this case, with the roles reversed?
Gaetz said expect him to be “in” the running for FLA governor in 2026…

Should be an easy win, by the time DJT is finished destroying Rhonda.
tbh…rhonda is self destructing
Certainly a shot across the bow… says loudly Leave the Race, NOW!!! or Else…
I agree. Floridians like Catturd are not happy that their governor is off campaigning instead of running the state. DeSantis had such a good reputation as governor. I don’t know how much damage that has suffered.
A LOT…
👍
Within FL, MeThinks Terminal…Never to Recover.
Rob runs for US Senate, DOA.
I think that the Florida GOP will make sure that Ron is the senatorial candidate and he would almost certainly be a better choice than the Dem. Once again the voter will have a ‘hold your nose’ choice.

so, tweets no longer open here?
Ackkk!
Bunch of freaking WEFfers!
~https://twitter.com/stats_feed/status/1703248795943731224~ appears it was the x.com thing… I don’t see that when I capture the tweet from the address bar. Can’t use the lower write hand arrowpointing up thing anymore ((cause its the symbol for machine gun in a bunker maybe?)). https://x.com/stats_feed/status/1703248795943731224?s=20

This is dumb. Any Tesla ‘innovations’ are lifted from SpaceX because Elon ordered his chief designers at SpaceX to go make Tesla self-driving mode workable.
Remember the first self-driving vehicle was a booster rocket that landed itself.
Sometimes they do, sometimes they don’t.
Valerie said twitter posts work, but X posts don’t.
I didn’t know we could still access old ‘twitter’, but I never spent much time figuring out tweeter in the first place, so I’m sure there’s plenty about that platform that I don’t know about.
The commenting plugin’s embed add-on will need to be rewritten to include URLs for “x” as well as “twitter”.
Sometimes they show w/ twitter.com but not w/ x.com that I’ve seen.
I change “x” to “twitter” in URLs right now, until they fix our commenting software.
If I open in a new tab the URL always shows Twitter even if the link Here said X. If I’m home then I’ll put in a reply h3re so it Might show…
Thank you for the update.
From a different article…..The Florence County sheriff also could not provide information on exactly where the parts were found, but Bartells Road in Indiantown was blocked off, WMBF reported.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
the area is rural but that much commotion seems like someone would’ve heard something!
There goes my Mexican space alien tractor beam theory.
I really thought it could be true this time.
Doesn’t work here.
It wasn’t working for me either earlier, but now it is.
Earlier it didn’t work even when I right-clicked on the ‘comment image’ to open it in a new tab.
But now, at least on my browser, it shows up here at Qtree.
Very strange…
Did the crazy plane lady send you a John Deere letter? 🚜 😆 🚜
(speaking of tractors)…

Invaders on the Italian island of Lampedusa are now blocking roads, demanding to be freed …BITCHUTE 2023-09-17, 22:43
Not to worry. Lampedusa is used to this sort of stuff. Just not in the last 500 years or so.
Blocking the roads? Just glue them down with the climate protestors… with bacon glue…
Hey Dallas, Texas!!! Your doing something wrong here. Stop!

🤣 They honestly have no idea how stupid they look and act.
It looks like somebody thought is was “Show and Tell” Sunday, and they brought ALL the sins!
“We are Legion”…
Yep.
Sick Shit.
You know those trannies don’t give a damn about being at church. It’s all a F you to Christians and anyone who hates seeing them.
The church leaders don’t give a damn either except hoping for praise for their acceptance. So hungry for that pat on the back…urp
You are SOOOoooo right. They are coming out and RUBBING their EVIL directly in our face.
Their number: sick sick sick….. 🔥 👹 ☄
Silly Poofers Lonely Darts Club, Banned…
If for some reason you decide you don’t like your pick up truck, apparently this is one quick way to get rid of it 😂
That’s insane… 😂
There’s a great story with this one. Dave Wakeling, the singer and guitarist, used a very peculiar open tuning on his guitar for this song. So peculiar that David Gilmour (Pink Floyd) and Pete Townsend (The Who) were hanging out trying to decipher it. They finally figured, “what the hell”, and called up to ask.
Wakeling hung up on them. He thought his friends were playing a joke.
Great song! Forgot all about that one.
He eventually told them.
