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.

Wolfie’s Wheatie’s Word of the Week Year:
espace réservé
noun
- French for placeholder
- French for reserved area
- French for restricted area
- Wolf’s preparation for a year of taking care of things
As I will explain below, I’m going to need placeholders for many weeks this year. The first placeholder post (February 5, 2024) will be copied to the other weeks, and modified whenever time allows.
The whole “placeholder” endeavor just sounds so much less offensive in French!
MUSIC!
One of my favorite hymns! A new version…..
THE STUFF

The low-down…..
I already had a long list of things I absolutely must do this year – which include some significant trips, and big medical projects which I put off from last year.
Yes, THE WOOF needs some upkeep to his fine if somewhat ancient mechanism!

And then the medical stuff got compounded by some bad, stupid, Biden-era corruption, which I would love to elaborate upon, but can’t.
The bottom line is that I’m now spending all my time trying to correct the cascading problems of a system error that should have never happened.
And all this takes TIME.
To make sure I have a post up every Monday, it’s going to have to be placeholders.
Or, as I was saying, espaces réservés. Which sounds so much more dignified.
So what can you all do?
If somebody wants to take over the Monday daily, that’s great. Let me know. It’s not absolutely necessary, because the espaces réservés work quite nicely.
But that’s not the most important thing. If I can ask, the occasional prayer for my health would be wonderful. Nothing big – there are many people on this site who need your prayers far more than me. Pray for THEM regularly. But still, prayer is good – prayer is strong – and prayer is effective. An occasional prayer for me to “fix up solid” would be greatly appreciated.
Best and fastest way to get me back online for the election.
Just sayin’!
So thank you for your assistance in this matter. And remember…….
Until victory, have faith!

And trust the big plan, too!

And as always….
ENJOY THE SHOW

No power.
Sounds like a typical Republican lament.
Yeah, but when the Repukes says that, they’re lying. They have lots of power. They just use their power in collusion with the Dims to destroy America.
We have to do a better job to sort out the wolf in sheep clothing from the good guys.
A lot of the military that ‘retired’ or quit because they refused to take the clot shot are now running for office.

Well, … our wolfm00n doesn’t dress in drag.
So no sheep clothing for him.
You are funny 🙂
It hasnt hit us yet. It looked like its been heading for bay area and santa barbara, settling big in l.a.
We are supposed to get 1-2 inches tomorrow though. Thats a lot. Rain for 5 days, nothing for 6 more, then another 4 days straight.
I hate these all at once big gushers. Just some daily winter rain would be nice. It was warm all afternoon til 415. Wind picked up and its clouded over.
Hope your power comes back soon.

Lol. I cant avoid that garbage its everywhere!
Got it stuck in her nose, no doubt…
Not watching. Keep looking at my weather on my phone, 2 sites. Plus radar. Supposed to be .1 inch every hour for 5 hrs starting at 10 am. I am just concerned about saturated ground abd run off. If it doesnt tain too hard i think we will be fine. People with pools though should pay attn to how full they get.

I suggest that each of us should provide wolfm00n with our personal contact info. We should not have to go through the bakocarl episode where we were helpless to even know if he was still alive.
Remember how difficult it was to find out that wheatie had passed. We can avoid that frustration, or minimize it, if we just doxx ourselves to our beloved admin.
It’s OK. Don’t worry. The worst case scenario is that I disappear permanently, and people keep posting here until either the site shuts down, or the people all move to a new site of their creation prior to that time.
If I’m dead or too disabled to continue things, the site will likely be up for some time afterwards. You will all decide where to go, and because there are no prior plans, the other side can’t make specific plans against it.
If I’m gone for 6 weeks, start worrying. Otherwise, don’t worry.
I wasn’t talking about you; I was talking about us – the ones who toil in obscurity to produce quality snark and info-packed commentary.
Hey – if I’m dead, I’m not gonna be doing any contacting people! 😉
I certainly hope not…
That would be creepy…
Maybe creepy cool… but still creepy… 😲😂

Take care.
Thanks! Doing what I need to do. Includes a lot of medical learning. Have to be informed. But last year I just put stuff off, and no choice this year. Gotta take care of stuff.
Yep. Got to do the maintenance and repairs on yourself firstly sir!
Getting old does, indeed, blow…..but it’s almost always better than the alternative.
Amen!
It is currently much better atm. 😌

Some of my knuckles no longer bend.
i am constantly sewing, quilting or ranting on blogs to keep my fingers nimble. they’re just not as accurate as they once were…following my mind i guess…
My hands still work (I sew) I just have some knuckles that don’t bend they way they used to. No pain since I have been taking Glucosamine, Chondroitin, MSM, Collagen, Boron & Hyaluronic Acid for decades and more recently added CBD oil.
NC is a boron poor state and was KNOWN for arthritis.
Given how active I have been, I am lucky I am in such good shape… Or maybe because I have always been active.
i think being and staying active is key!
AMEN!

“Several years ago, DNA-testing company 23andMe began publicly trading on Nasdaq following a deal to merge with VG Acquisition Corp., a special-purpose acquisition company founded by billionaire Richard Branson. The company was pimped by Hollywood elites, such as Oprah and Lizzo, as market capitalization topped $6 billion in late 2021.
Fast forward this past week, 23andMe has lost 94% of its market cap following the November 2021 peak, and Nasdaq threatened to delist the penny stock as it closed around 69 cents per share on Friday. ”

You’ve got it! Praying that all will go well with no hitches and with successful outcomes. Bring on the espace réservé! I hope you will give updates to whatever degree you feel appropriate when you can, but taking care of yourself is top priority.🙏
Thank you! A few prayers by the faithful are a powerful thing!
I will very likely give some “after the fact” info, albeit with enough uncertainty to avoid self-doxxing. I will also make occasional statements to soothe concerns along the way.
There will be times that I will be incommunicado, and that just has to be. A few days to a few weeks. But hopefully I will be stronger, healthier, and ready for battle soon!
“But still, prayer is good – prayer is strong – and prayer is effective. An occasional prayer for me to “fix up solid” would be greatly appreciated.”
___________
Occasional is tough, hard to remember.
Fortunately, you’ve been on my daily prayer list for several years now, along with around a dozen others from here and the associated blogs, who are mostly dealing with various health or injury issues. Looks like you’re back on the ‘health issues’ part of the list for a while 👍
It might be good to have a Qtree prayer list, maybe with a link somewhere in the column of links on the right side of the webpage near the top. Just a suggestion.
Get well soon!
Thank you! I appreciate it! And perfect timing, too! I needed that!
👍😎
GOD Bless You!
Wolf, if you have to have a surgery or something, and you let us know, we can pray you through it. That is powerful stuff.
I just had this experience with a group of people. A young boy (11) got very sick last week. He had sepsis from strep, and was in terrible shape, writhing in pain, in the ICU. I was contacted as part of a group to pray for him in shifts through the night on Friday.
By Saturday morning, he was out of pain. By 10am his labs were improving. By 2pm he sat up in bed, declared himself to be recovering, and hugged his Dad!
He’s now out of bed and walking some. He has recovering to do, but I think he will live. Friday night I wasn’t sure.
We are your friends and would pray for you in shifts through a surgery or procedure, so you just let us know when, if you can.
Thanks! Will keep this option open!
Another part of this story is, I have been praying the Jabez prayer for a few weeks now. I found a little book about it, and started. Here’s the verse with the prayer:
I Chronicles 4:9-10 NKJV
Now Jabez was more honorable than his brothers, and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, “Because I bore him in pain.” And Jabez called on the God of Israel saying, “Oh, that You would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, that Your hand would be with me, and that You would keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain!” So God granted him what he requested.
The book I found explained “territory” (the part I put in bold) for us today as our outreach for God. Our community, our friends, our family.
Sometimes people are reluctant to ask for prayers. But if you ask us to pray for you, what you are doing is giving us the gift of “enlarging our territory,” giving us an opportunity to serve God. A prayer request is a gift to the receiver.
I love you, Wolf!
Thank you!
I think you’re right. I think this getting myself all fixed up right now (already starting) is necessary preparation for things that not only you and others have prayed for, but which I prayed for. My health may have been the roadblock to what God wants!

President Bukele is a big Bitcoin proponent.
People who buy Bitcoin and hold (“hodl” in Internet slang) onto to it with no intention of selling are called hodlers. For example, Michael Saylor, the founder of MicroStrategy, whose company has around 190,000 Bitcoin at last count, is a mega-hodler.
I saw a Bitcoin meme video today, using film footage from from the Johnny Depp Pirates of the Caribbean movies. One of the hotties was El Hodlador, a word-play on El Salvador.
I haven’t caught all of the references in the video, but for example, Charlie Munger and Warren Buffett are represented (as characters from the film). Munger and Buffett claim to hate Bitcoin and never said a kind word about it (though they’re both known to talk something down publicly while buying it as fast as they can privately, like any good Jamie Dimon-type snake).
I think ‘Sea of Liquidity’ is mentioned. There are lots of inside joke references, to both supporters and detractors of Bitcoin:
.
LOL!!! “Hodlers”!!!
Most of the time if it’s singular, I hear it pronounced hoe-dle, but plural seems to be pronounced both ways, ha-dlers or hoe-dlers, who are hoe-dling or ha-dling 😁
That may have been so some decades ago.

That is why having an America First speaker is so important.
Well, 1.8 Million illegals entering the United States PER YEAR “before it could be declared an emergency” would be a fine “response” to the upcoming PLANNED POPULATION REDUCTION OF AMERICANS BY THE COVID-19 “VACCINES”, wouldn’t it?

Well, this is interesting. Looks as if people were trying to find compromising material from Sen. Lankford’s past in response to his working with Dems on a border deal. Turns out he said in a deposition in 2010 that 13-year-olds can consent to sex. I wonder what else they have on him.
Yup. They got something on him!
And nobody asked “Mr. Lankford, how many 13 year old boys (or girls?) have you had sex with?”
How could someone NOT ask that question, while Lankford was testilying under oath?
Are these 13 year olds married to pervs in the Baptist Church, or does Baptist Church Camp teach fornication?
How in the world does Colonel Clink Lankford, the Camp Commandant at Baptist Church Camp, advocate for fornication between adults and children?
Or fornication for anyone?
Just another shitbag politician.
Just another shitbag PEDO politician.

January 2016: Senator Defies Obama’s Education Department On Sexual Assault

Abbott, 13 governors declare states can secure border, have right to self-defense
AND THE SAME APPLIES TO BARACK OBAMA.

Love it!
“Abbott cited the self-defense clause of the U.S. Constitution, Article 1, Section 10, Clause 3, which more than 50 Texas counties have cited in their invasion declarations, saying, “We’re all fighting for a safer, more secure border and country.””
__________
He should also be citing every relevant section on TREASON in the Constitution.
Article III, Section 3.
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.
The Congress shall have Power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted.
.
Article II, Section 4.The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.
.
Article IV, Section 2.
The Citizens of each State shall be entitled to all Privileges and Immunities of Citizens in the several States.
A Person charged in any State with Treason, Felony, or other Crime, who shall flee from Justice, and be found in another State, shall on Demand of the executive Authority of the State from which he fled, be delivered up, to be removed to the State having Jurisdiction of the Crime.
“He cited the record number of people being apprehended on the terrorist watch list, asking how many of them “are in our country that we didn’t apprehend?” He cited the record 458 million lethal doses of illicit fentanyl and 56,000 pounds of methamphetamine that OLS officers have seized, adding, “think about the doses that were not.””
____________
Seems very simple.
Every time these drugs are discovered, the United States suspends trade with the country of origin for 30 days. Suspensions for multiple infractions are served consecutively.
So for example, if Chyna fentanyl is intercepted just 12 times, trade with Chyna is suspended for a full year (360 days).
That will make Chyna stop the fentanyl trade before it ever leaves their own country.
Same deal with Mexico.
You want all trade with the United States suspended indefinitely?
Keep allowing invading armies and drugs and human trafficking through your country into ours.
Excellent!
Well – Texas isn’t our only border. We have a longer northern border and many thousand miles of coastline to protect.
The best defense is to ENFORCE all our CURRENT laws against illegal invasion and to detain and deport all invaders!
while all eyes are fixed on Texas and Mexico, the situation up north at our Canadian border is also a mess..

Homeschooling StatisticsHighlights of statistics on homeschooling:
What’s really frightening is that this is one that happens frequently in real life. As in, “what’s a quarter hour after 2:20?”
It’d be different if it were 17*5.
That would only come in handy if you were making change for Harry Potter.
https://harrypotter.fandom.com/wiki/Wizarding_currency
17*5…
That is simple to do in your head too.
round down to nearest even number = 16. Divide in 1/2 = 8 so 16 * 5 = 80 then add 5 = 85
Easier for me to round to 15.
15*5=75 then add leftover 2*5=10.
75+10=85
or just 7*5=35 plus 10*5=50, 85!
Lots of easy ways to do it in your head. esp when it is times 5.
Idiots and followers.
One idiot takes a blind guess at a number, and the other three idiots follow the first idiot.
They should all four be kicked out of college, and sent to grade school.
They should have to sit at those tiny desks, in the front, so all the age appropriate kids behind them can make fun of them for being in grade school in their 20s.
Good grief, they CAN NOT EVEN ADD! For something that easy you do not even need to multiply. The fact they have such a LACK OF UNDERSTAND of simple Arithmetic shows how broken our educational system is.
15+15 = 30
30+30 = 60
They’re not even embarrassed!
I’d run away in shame! 😂
We get a lot of kids coming up and saying they want to be a Vet. Hubby uses a simple single digit multiplication test to sort out who we will continue to talk to and give info to.
Sometimes we get, I’ll just use a calculator. And we reply, NOT ON MY HORSE YOU WON’T!
You have to be able to do at least a rough estimate in your head to determine if the number ‘looks right’ or if you screwed up a decimal place or something.
Dr Robinson, tells the tale of an engineer completely blowing the math when determining the design of a bridge over his creek. In Oregon you could not just build a foot bridge, you had to have it ‘designed’ by an engineer.🙄
My 9 year old nephew could do basic multiplication like that (4 x 15) since he was around 6 years old.
Which seemed late to me.
Break it down if necessary. 4 x 10 plus 4 x 5.
We had to memorize multiplication tables, at least up to 12 x 12, maybe up to 15 x 15. I remember sitting at the desk in the play room at my Grandma’s house, practicing my multiplication tables.
And no, it wasn’t last week, it was in the early 1970s 😂
Perhaps part of their problem was that 15 is bigger than 12.
Even assuming they had to go to 12×12 tables (doubtful), 4×15 is outside that square and requires them to compute it somehow. Yes there are shortcuts but they don’t teach the shortcuts (or didn’t when I was in elementary school). You’d be expected to do that one longhand, and then it becomes “hard to do in your head.”
Without knowing the tricks, 4×15 is no easier than 7×17. I don’t have to think about 4×15 because I know some tricks, but 7×17 I’d have to think about for a moment or two to get 119.
I recall Robert A. Heinlein stating that he had to memorize the 20×20 table when he went to school. He was born in 1907.
LMAO!!!
Common Core anybody?
That is how they have been “taught” to think. I am not kidding. Just one more reason our grandson #1 is being homeschooled. He could not think as they taught and was failing in their method. He aces his math tests now that he is taught to process the information normally again. Can process it all in his head instantly although his mom is teaching him standard calculation methods with pencil and paper.

I finally found them on Rumble. (Bitchute did not have them that I could find)

The Weathermen II – Of Media, Money & Men – IPOT Presents – 11.11.19
@ 47 minutes it goes over some of the history of the Weather Underground
@ 1 hour 12 minutes it starts in on the connection of Bill Ayers and Linda Darling-Hammond to Common Core. Linda was the education advisor to Obama’s presidential campaign and was among candidates for US Secretary of Education under Obama.
@ 1 hour 16 minutes it leads into ANTIFA and the violence on campus to prevent Conservative speakers.
If nothing else listen to that section

Robin has done an incredible amount of digging but I no longer have a link to the site. DARN IT!
I think the cert date invalid is a trick by TPTB to cut off access to various websites…
The Garble “Chrome-don’t-get-ya-home” codebase (for most browsers) has been getting dinked around quite a lot in the last year or so… and it’s a VERY effective way of keeping various sites offline….. whether their dates are correct or not…
Sad part is, this will only get worse as we reach November…
DAMN the LEFT to HELL!!!
(gmx is f-ing me over right now and I’m furious ** N+1 !!!!! )…..
Thank God that your children approve.
Too many grands have rebellious offspring.
Thanks to the Progressive bull schiff they were fed in school. The higher the degree the more they probably lean left.
Most of the CPA firms I worked for billed in quarter hours. The others billed in tenths — which complicates bathroom breaks because they’re harder to round into something.
Pee faster! 🙃
Or do like an Amazon employee and keep beverage containers around for re-use.
Or pick your favorite client and just bill that one.
Stolen from Truck Drivers…
[snort]
Harris billed in tenths… shift it to minutes and it is easier: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, then add the previous to 30 to reach 60 minutes… 36, 42, 48, 54, 60. I know, my math thinking is strange. 😂
Actually similar to mine.
Great minds (or is it lazy?) think alike.
Flush twice: It’s a long way to the cafeteria…
Are we SURE this isn’t staged?
OMG if it’s real. 😯
Logically look at them. No way they could stage being that stupid. It’s natural. The DUH is real!
People like that would not be capable of making change at a cash register. I imagine that current cash registers reveal how much change is due, but still…this is a basic life skill.
Of course there’s a basic procedure for those who can’t do math in their head and that’s to count the money back. It has the bonus of putting the coins under the bills instead of on top sliding around and onto the ground which is what happens when someone reads left to right on the cash register.
“…on top sliding around and onto the ground …”
Oh boy do I hate that! I will often snatch my hand away, put the bills in my purse and then accept the coins.
This is particularly obnoxious at a drive through when the coins end up on the ground and you have to get out of your car…if you have space enough to open the door.
I have tried “toss the change into the bag” (when all food was wrapped) and “give me the bills, and toss the coins through the window into my car.”
You would think ONE manager SOMEWHERE would train their employees to hand the coins over first.
If it’s anywhere, it’ll either be a Chik-fil-A or In-and-Out.
I will tell them to give me the coins first if I think of it.
One in the middle looks like 80×40 (at least)…
Crikey. Back in the dark ages, times of slide rules and punch cards, when I went to school, there were some of us who learned our times tables to 15 x 15 or even 20 x 20
(OK, showoffs we were, and then we memorized pi out to a couple of hundred places, as that’s as far as the computers back then could go…almost (700+ places, according to “Curiosities of Mathematics”)…

Coffee break. 🙂
I was praying for some specific friends last night before falling asleep…
and I asked GOD if there is anyone else I should be praying for..
and then I come here a few minutes ago and see Wolf’s post.
I don’t know what the issues are, Wolf, health and otherwise but…
I will pray for your successful outcomes, safe wise guidance, strength endurance and comfort, and wise counsel, along the way.
don’t want anything to happen to you !

Thank you! I appreciate it! Deeply! 🙏 💕
you sound upbeat but I’m worried about you.
I’m having to work very hard to stay ahead of the collapsing medical system. I’m essentially becoming my own GP with some specialty knowledge. I feel like I’m in a f’n’ episode of House, where House has to outwit the dying system so it won’t kill him. That’s not useful in an election year.
just about every aspect of life on this planet right now is toxic.
Amen!
In case anyone is wondering, I’m in the orange blob at the bottom of the map.
I’m shuckin’ and jivin’ while I watch the fixed areas get closer.
Once the power comes back on, I have to run around and rig the house for bed. This includes the heat, because the hvac is currently offline.
Darn. The fixed area just north of us just reverted.
The battery on this tablet is fading. I’m going to have
